Anger and disappointment after the government rejects | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
an inquiry into one of the worst clashes of the miners' strike. | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
It was called the "Battle of Orgreave". | :00:12. | :00:13. | |
The police are accused of using excessive violence, | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
but ministers say a new investigation is not needed. | :00:17. | :00:22. | |
There were no miscarriages of justice. | :00:23. | :00:24. | |
Aren't we right in concluding that the establishment stitch-up that she | :00:25. | :00:34. | |
has just announced today is nothing more than a nakedly political act? | :00:35. | :00:42. | |

The judge says the killing was despicable and cowardly. | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
And we'll be looking at those plans for drug addicts to be | :01:35. | :01:36. | |
offered a supervised clinic to inject heroin. | :01:37. | :01:53. | |
Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six. | :01:54. | :01:55. | |
The government has been accused of an establishment stitch-up | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
after the Home Secretary ruled out an inquiry into one of the most | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
brutal clashes between the police and striking miners in 1984. | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
It became known as the "Battle of Orgreave", and for decades | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
campaigners have argued that South Yorkshire Police manufactured | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
evidence after the event - precisely what the same force | :02:16. | :02:17. | |
was found to have done five years later at Hillsborough. | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
But Amber Rudd said that a review of the events of three decades ago | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
would offer very few lessons for policing today. | :02:25. | :02:26. | |
Dan Johnson has been following the story. | :02:27. | :02:35. | |
The images of violence from Orgreave were unforgettable, but exactly what | :02:36. | :02:43. | |
they show has been argued over for a generation. The miners kept up their | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
campaign for what they regard as justice, but today anger and | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
disappointment followed 30 years of bitterness. We say the decision is | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
deeply disappointing, and absolutely unacceptable. It is nearly 32 years | :02:59. | :03:05. | |
since 95 miners were arrested at Orgreave. Some of those miners are | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
dead now, and the surviving 1's face the prospect of more time, more | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
delay, before we get truth and justice. | :03:18. | :03:19. | |
This was the moment that stands their campaign. I have concluded | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
that there is no case for either a statutory enquiry or an independent | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
review. The opposition cried cover up. Are we right in concluding that | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
the establishment stitch up that she has just announced today is nothing | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
more than a nakedly political act? The Orgreave families and | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
campaigners need the same justice as Hillsborough had. They need the same | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
type of independent enquiry to establish the truth. In this | :03:50. | :03:57. | |
situation, in Orgreave, there were no miscarriages of justice. There | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
were no deaths. There were no convictions. This is an astonishing | :04:01. | :04:09. | |
and frankly shameful decision. The government have led those families | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
up the garden path for the last two years. For the miners, this was an | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
aggressive overreaction by the police, a deliberate use of force to | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
show they couldn't win the strike. The police say they had to uphold | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
the law, in the face of an angry crowd set on disrupting industry and | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
even overthrowing the government. The miners have always believed | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
there was police brutality that day, and that many of them were | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
unlawfully arrested, and that police statements were dictated to prove | :04:42. | :04:48. | |
more serious charges against them. Today, the Home Secretary was clear | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
- these issues will now be left to live. But moving on will not be easy | :04:53. | :05:02. | |
for miners like mix. Wrongful arrest, false prosecution, and | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
perjury that was committed by the police. Basically, I feel it is a | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
massive injustice, and I think an enquiry would help provide these | :05:12. | :05:18. | |
answers I'm wanting, but also put some safeguards in place that it | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
will not happen again. But there are other voices welcoming today's | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
decision. I think it's completely right. It's about events long ago, | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
and events where the facts are quite clearly known. They are all | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
recorded. There is no difficulty about that. The fact there was no | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
loss of life here and nobody was convicted led the Home Secretary to | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
conclude Orgreave isn't worthy of re-examination, but it's a decision | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
that will not be easily accepted by those who say there are still | :05:53. | :05:54. | |
unanswered questions. It is proving to be a very | :05:55. | :06:06. | |
contentious decision. What is the government's decision? One minor who | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
was there on that day who came to Westminster to hear that decision | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
was physically shaking when he talked about it. It seemed he simply | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
could not believe what he heard. Ministers say they have looked at | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
all the evidence but concluded there were not wrongful convictions, | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
nobody lost their lives, despite the horrors of the day, and they wonder | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
what an enquiry would actually achieve. They say how the police | :06:35. | :06:40. | |
operate has already changed beyond all recognition. Enquiries, at great | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
cost and great duration, are often set up to work out what went wrong | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
to ensure it doesn't happen again. In the case of Orgreave, they | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
believe things have already changed beyond all recognition, so having a | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
costly enquiry would not be worth it. This could hardly be more | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
political and more personal. It speaks to the decades of tension now | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
between mining communities in the north of England and the | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
Conservative Party. The tension and the raw disappointment we saw today | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
was plain for all to see. Public enquiries are very easy to call for. | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
Politicians do it very often. They are very difficult to turn down. One | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
Cabinet minister said to me of Orgreave, the hardest thing was to | :07:30. | :07:30. | |
say no. Thank you. A lorry driver who killed a mother | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
and three children when his truck crashed into their stationary car | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
while he was distracted by his mobile phone was today | :07:37. | :07:38. | |
jailed for ten years. Tomasz Kroker hit a line | :07:39. | :07:40. | |
of traffic at 50mph The mother of one of the victims | :07:41. | :07:42. | |
warned of the dangers of using mobile phones, | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
and said the sentence The precious moments of a family | :07:48. | :08:05. | |
life that no longer exists. Here, brothers Ethan and Josh, and their | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
sister, Aimee. The three children killed in this horrific crash. They | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
died, together with their mother Tracy, at the end of what had been a | :08:16. | :08:22. | |
family holiday. They were killed by this man, Tomasz Kroker, seen here | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
on his mobile phone just before the crash. Cameras in his lorry show him | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
scrolling through his music for up to 45 seconds before impact. He | :08:32. | :08:37. | |
slammed into four vehicles, including the one carrying Tracy and | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
their children, killing them instantly. Kroker can be seen here | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
on the left in the hooded top moments after the crash. Tracy's | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
partner Mark had been behind her car in the silver is state on the right | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
that shunted her vehicle under the blue lorry. We pulled up behind some | :08:55. | :09:02. | |
lorries just crawling along. We slowed right down. And then that was | :09:03. | :09:09. | |
it. Bang! And I looked down at this car, and, my God. The crash happened | :09:10. | :09:16. | |
last August on the a 34 in Berkshire. The judge said it was | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
like the lorry driver, Tomasz Kroker, had been driving with his | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
eyes closed. The mother of 13-year-old Aimee, one of the four | :09:25. | :09:30. | |
who died, said using mobile phones whilst driving had devastating | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
consequences. Mr Kroker's use of his mobile phone whilst driving turned | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
his lorry into a lethal weapon. It only takes a second of distraction | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
to kill someone, destroying your life, your family's lives, and those | :09:47. | :09:54. | |
of your victim and their family. Today's outcome must serve as a | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
reminder to us all of our responsibilities every time we | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
drive, and that decisions we make can be fatal. Tomasz Kroker was | :10:04. | :10:10. | |
today jailed for a total of ten years after admitting dangerous | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
driving. His victims' family say this was one of the worst incidents | :10:15. | :10:21. | |
of its kind involving a mobile phone, wholly unavoidable, and | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
leaving them utterly inconsolable. We can join Duncan now. Just clarify | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
exactly what the law says on these matters. The law on using mobile | :10:30. | :10:37. | |
phones is very clear. We have had this advice tonight from the | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
Department for Transport, it is illegal to use a mobile phone whilst | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
you are driving, or when you are at traffic lights or in queueing | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
traffic. It is legal to use a mobile phone if you are parked, or in dire | :10:51. | :10:57. | |
emergencies, when you can make a 999 call on the move. It is also illegal | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
to use a hands-free set or a sat nav, -- it is also illegal to use, | :11:02. | :11:11. | |
but if police see you using it unsafely, you could be stopped. But | :11:12. | :11:19. | |
in this case, Tomasz Kroker was using his phone, with devastating | :11:20. | :11:20. | |
circumstances. Within the last few minutes, it's | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
been announced that the Governor of the Bank of England, | :11:24. | :11:25. | |
Mark Carney, is to stay Live now to our business editor | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
Simon Jack in Downing Street. I guess this will please disarm and | :11:29. | :11:40. | |
annoy others. This was a surprise signing of the former resident of 11 | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
Downing Street in 2011. The intention was him to serve up to | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
eight years, but with an option after 2018 saying he could leave | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
after that. He had to make up his mind this year if he was going to | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
use that extension. In the last few minutes, he's confirmed he will | :12:01. | :12:06. | |
extend that stay by just a single year, to June 20 19. Crucially, that | :12:07. | :12:13. | |
takes us beyond the period where we trigger Article 50, so he clearly | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
thinks there is unfinished business to do, and his attitude towards | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
Brexit, which has angered some - he was considered by many in the | :12:23. | :12:29. | |
cabinet as the chief of Project Fear. He warned that the pound could | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
fall, and it did. When he decided to reduce interest rates further a few | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
months ago, people said he had overdone it, and that Project Fear | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
was still alive and well. There are not many jobs for the Bank of | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
England Governor to go to. The head of the World Bank, the head of the | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
IMF, those jobs are already taken. The head of the bank in Canada, his | :12:53. | :12:59. | |
home country, is already taken. The him to stay one year and not three | :13:00. | :13:01. | |
is a bit of a surprise. Thank you. Iraqi troops trying to drive | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
so-called Islamic State from its stronghold in the country | :13:07. | :13:08. | |
have advanced to the outskirts The assault - now in its third week | :13:09. | :13:11. | |
- involves hundreds of troops in heavily-armoured vehicles, | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
together with tanks and bulldozers, all supported by US-led | :13:17. | :13:18. | |
coalition air strikes. Our correspondent, | :13:19. | :13:20. | |
Ian Pannell, is travelling The final battle for Mosul is | :13:21. | :13:32. | |
getting close. Many expected these troops to pause, but that isn't what | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
happened today. It has just gone 6am, and as you can see, a large | :13:37. | :13:43. | |
military convoy is moving. We are with one section of the | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
counterterrorism force, and we are told there was an armoured division | :13:48. | :13:50. | |
that will move its way through the desert. There a column of special | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
Forces and a counterterrorism unit who will advance on the last two | :13:55. | :14:00. | |
villages before Mosul. We are also told that if they have enough | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
momentum and are able to move, they will not stop. The roads have been | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
laced with home-made bombs that have killed many. The convoy picks its | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
own path through the desert. The armoured column has now moved out of | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
the desert in a flanking manoeuvre, just going round the town of | :14:21. | :14:27. | |
Bazwaya. We are in the lead vehicle here with the commander of | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
counterterrorism forces. Over there is the town of Bazwaya, where they | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
are going to try to get to. If they manage to get through there, they | :14:38. | :14:40. | |
will move even further towards their main target. We are moving along now | :14:41. | :14:50. | |
inside a heavily armoured vehicle. There are two soldiers in the front | :14:51. | :14:55. | |
here, and this man's foot belongs to a gunner up in the turret, carrying | :14:56. | :15:06. | |
large calibre weapons, into what they think or Islamic State | :15:07. | :15:11. | |
positions. We are now moving into the town of Bazwaya, which will put | :15:12. | :15:19. | |
us within eyesight of Mosul. The troops fought their way into | :15:20. | :15:24. | |
Bazwaya. The last town standing between the Iraqi government and the | :15:25. | :15:26. | |
so-called Islamic State. And the closer they get, the fears | :15:27. | :15:45. | |
of the resistance. Units within the counterterrorism unit have just | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
advanced into this area. They have just opened attack on what they | :15:50. | :15:53. | |
think IS positions. We've just been told to get back into the vehicles. | :15:54. | :15:58. | |
They have another unit coming from the other side of the town. Fighter | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
jets are trying to give them cover overhead. A very confused and | :16:04. | :16:08. | |
dangerous situation. The few families left here have been trapped | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
between warring parties for years. If they are ever to live in peace, | :16:13. | :16:18. | |
this campaign needs a plan for what comes after the war. Today has been | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
a successful mission for the counterterrorism forces. They | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
managed to take the last town before the city of Mosul. The operations | :16:28. | :16:33. | |
have stopped for today. They are now less than a mile away from the heart | :16:34. | :16:38. | |
of the Islamic caliphate. More families homeless, more lives lost, | :16:39. | :16:40. | |
and the real battle is yet to come. The Government has ruled out | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
a public inquiry into a violent confrontation between police | :16:45. | :16:51. | |
and striking miners in 1984. Still the column. I am with the | :16:52. | :17:02. | |
Donald Trump campaign just And coming up on Reporting Scotland | :17:03. | :17:07. | |
at 6.30pm: As people gather in | :17:08. | :17:10. | |
Edinburgh for a Remembrance service, we hear from | :17:11. | :17:12. | |

Mackintosh's earliest designs Officials in Glasgow are expected | :17:19. | :17:19. | |
to approve a controversial plan to set up the UK's first so-called | :17:20. | :17:29. | |
'self-injecting rooms', where drug addicts can inject | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
heroin and also smoke The scheme aims to address | :17:35. | :17:36. | |
the problems caused by an estimated 500 users who inject | :17:37. | :17:42. | |
on Glasgow's streets. Our social affairs correspondent, | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
Michael Buchanan, has more details. We came to this wasteland | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
to see the remnants The necessary tools of a heroin | :17:52. | :17:53. | |
addiction strewn far and wide. Up to 500 people inject heroin | :17:54. | :18:02. | |
in public in Glasgow. Within minutes, we'd been joined | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
by two of them. They'd come for the | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
first hit of the day. Moments later, I watched | :18:12. | :18:15. | |
as the heroin kicked in. With such problems, plans are afoot | :18:16. | :18:27. | |
to open the UK's first consumption centre - | :18:28. | :18:36. | |
a clinic where addicts can Safe-injecting rooms | :18:37. | :18:38. | |
would save a lot of lives. Coming to places like this, | :18:39. | :18:47. | |
as you can see, it's certainly not And then you come here | :18:48. | :18:49. | |
at night-time, there's nae guarantee you're | :18:50. | :18:53. | |
going to walk back out. Drug-related deaths are at record | :18:54. | :18:55. | |
levels across Britain and experts say the spike in new HIV infections | :18:56. | :19:02. | |
in Glasgow last year was mainly due But it's also an issue | :19:03. | :19:05. | |
of public safety. This neighbourhood has had to live | :19:06. | :19:12. | |
with the dangers of used There was a girl stays up | :19:13. | :19:14. | |
here as well and she went to put her baby in the pram | :19:15. | :19:23. | |
and there was needles There was a needle | :19:24. | :19:26. | |
in the kid's pram? This is a safe-consumption | :19:27. | :19:29. | |
room in Denmark. Needles are cleaned and kept | :19:30. | :19:35. | |
on-site, protecting both Glasgow's drug services | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
are highly regarded, but officials believe more is needed | :19:40. | :19:45. | |
to help street users. One option would see addicts | :19:46. | :19:48. | |
bring their own drugs to the clinic and hopefully engage | :19:49. | :19:51. | |
with other services. We know that a lot of people that | :19:52. | :19:54. | |
are in this situation are homeless, have mental and physical health | :19:55. | :19:58. | |
problems, so it's not just teaching This pharmacy highlights | :19:59. | :20:00. | |
the drug problem. It has a separate entrance for users | :20:01. | :20:13. | |
of methadone, But opening consumption rooms | :20:14. | :20:15. | |
will not reduce demand, It's effectively legalising drugs | :20:16. | :20:18. | |
and providing people with easy It's promoted, I think, | :20:19. | :20:21. | |
by people who in many instances have given up on the idea of recovery, | :20:22. | :20:28. | |
and their most convincing and persuasive suggestion | :20:29. | :20:30. | |
is to enable people to use illegal That is not how Scotland should be | :20:31. | :20:33. | |

for murdering a waiter nearly 18 years ago - | :20:59. | :21:01. | |
in a retrial under Ronnie Coulter was convicted | :21:02. | :21:03. | |
at the High Court in Glasgow earlier this month of | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
stabbing the 32 year old. Mr Chhokar died as he returned | :21:08. | :21:09. | |
from work at an Indian restaurant The champion jockey Jim Crowley, | :21:10. | :21:12. | |
and another rider Freddie Tylicki have been taken to hospital | :21:13. | :21:25. | |
with what are believed to be serious spinal injuries, | :21:26. | :21:28. | |
after four horses fell Two other jockeys who fell were able | :21:29. | :21:31. | |
to walk off the course. It's the issue that's dogged | :21:32. | :21:39. | |
Hillary Clinton's campaign Her use of private email | :21:40. | :21:41. | |
for official business when she was Secretary of State has | :21:42. | :21:49. | |
been exploited by Donald Trump, Over the weekend, the FBI announced | :21:50. | :21:52. | |
it had found new emails, relevant to their original | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
investigation into the issue. As our chief correspondent | :21:57. | :21:58. | |
Gavin Hewitt reports, that's revived the Trump campaign | :21:59. | :21:59. | |
and hurt Clinton's. Tell me about your job, | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
when you got started... Hillary Clinton drops by Betty's | :22:05. | :22:06. | |
Diner. There aren't many votes | :22:07. | :22:16. | |
to be had here but, surrounded by new controversy, | :22:17. | :22:18. | |
she needs to fire up her traditional support | :22:19. | :22:21. | |
from the African-American community. She and her aides are troubled | :22:22. | :22:24. | |
by signs the new inquiry into her But returning back late | :22:25. | :22:27. | |
after another long day campaigning, she and her team believe they retain | :22:28. | :22:33. | |
an advantage and organisation, While in office, Hillary Clinton | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
relied on a private e-mail account on her own server, | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
sending thousands of messages both The FBI said that was negligent, | :22:42. | :22:43. | |
but they did not press charges. Now - in a separate case | :22:44. | :22:52. | |
involving the husband of one of her close aides - | :22:53. | :22:54. | |
more of Mrs Clinton's e-mails have come to light and the FBI has | :22:55. | :22:57. | |
reopened its investigation. Hillary Clinton's running mate today | :22:58. | :23:00. | |
addressed the issue. The FBI put up this very unusual | :23:01. | :23:04. | |
letter, very unprecedented. They're not supposed to talk | :23:05. | :23:09. | |
about ongoing investigations and they're also not generally | :23:10. | :23:12. | |
supposed to put out politically sensitive stuff right | :23:13. | :23:15. | |
before an election. You know, there may | :23:16. | :23:17. | |
be some distractions, Some Democrats have turned | :23:18. | :23:18. | |
on the FBI, accusing the bureau of breaking the law by revealing | :23:19. | :23:23. | |
the politically sensitive information so close | :23:24. | :23:25. | |
to the election. It's far from clear | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
whether the latest FBI inquiry has changed many minds amongst | :23:31. | :23:32. | |
Hillary Clinton supporters, but on one thing, everybody agrees - | :23:33. | :23:35. | |
if the focus is on Hillary Clinton and her e-mails, then it's not | :23:36. | :23:39. | |
on Trump and his scandals, Donald Trump calls the finding of | :23:40. | :23:41. | |
650,000 e-mails 'a big bombshell'. It doesn't matter that nothing has | :23:42. | :23:57. | |
been proved or that the e-mails may be duplicates of those already | :23:58. | :24:00. | |
studied, he denounces Hillary Clinton's actions | :24:01. | :24:02. | |
as 'crooked and illegal'. But how do you have | :24:03. | :24:12. | |
that many e-mails? What do you do, sit down all day | :24:13. | :24:14. | |
and just keep typing? Hey, no wonder nothing gets done | :24:15. | :24:17. | |
in our country! It may well be that the e-mails | :24:18. | :24:19. | |
will not be examined before polling day, but Democrats had wanted | :24:20. | :24:22. | |
the election to be a referendum on Trump and his fitness to be | :24:23. | :24:25. | |
President. In these final days, all | :24:26. | :24:27. | |
the attention is on his opponent. That's taught our North America | :24:28. | :24:42. | |
editor who is outside Detroit. We thought we had seen everything in | :24:43. | :24:46. | |
this campaign and now this new latest twist. | :24:47. | :24:51. | |
Yes, George, it has left the Trump campaign, it has never been a | :24:52. | :24:56. | |
particular study of calm and serenity and as well as the raucous | :24:57. | :24:59. | |
list, you now have a sense of euphoria among many of his | :25:00. | :25:03. | |
supporters gathered for a rally that will take place shortly. The normal | :25:04. | :25:06. | |
rule of thumb in politics is that you want to be in the headlines, you | :25:07. | :25:10. | |
want to dominate the agenda. Not this campaign. Whenever Donald Trump | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
has been in the headlines, it was great news for Hillary Clinton. And | :25:15. | :25:18. | |
when Hillary Clinton has been in the headlines, it is great news for | :25:19. | :25:22. | |
Donald Trump. As it is at the moment. Americans are getting ready | :25:23. | :25:26. | |
to celebrate Halloween tonight. Well, a lot of people in the Clinton | :25:27. | :25:31. | |
campaign of feeling that she has been tricked while in Donald Trump | :25:32. | :25:34. | |
land, they are feeling that he has been given a mighty treat! | :25:35. | :25:37. | |
Thank you very much. It's as beautiful as | :25:38. | :25:41. | |
a picture postcard - trees in many parts of Britain | :25:42. | :25:43. | |
are only just starting It's all down to the unusual weather | :25:44. | :25:45. | |
- a hot September and warm October. The Bodenham Arboretum | :25:46. | :25:53. | |
near Kidderminster, and just Our mild autumn, no high winds | :25:54. | :25:56. | |
or cold snaps could mean our trees might stay looking like this, | :25:57. | :26:04. | |
well, for a while. It is unusual, but autumns | :26:05. | :26:11. | |
have been getting later. We'd normally have really good | :26:12. | :26:16. | |
colour well into November, but this year is spectacular | :26:17. | :26:24. | |
and we've had more colour, If this weather continues, | :26:25. | :26:26. | |
then they're going to stay here The groundwork for these dazzling | :26:27. | :26:29. | |
displays was laid back in spring. The heavy rains we experienced then | :26:30. | :26:34. | |
- coupled with above-average sunshine - meant a great | :26:35. | :26:36. | |
growing season for trees. Well, the leaves of trees store | :26:37. | :26:38. | |
chlorophyll, the green pigment in plants that's | :26:39. | :26:45. | |
vital for photosynthesis. As winter approaches, | :26:46. | :26:52. | |
the chlorophyll breaks down, the pigment goes and other | :26:53. | :26:53. | |
coloured chemicals takeover. And so you have the yellows, | :26:54. | :26:57. | |
reds and gold. Well, that's the science lesson | :26:58. | :26:59. | |
over. For now, let's just | :27:00. | :27:01. | |
enjoy the picture. It has been beautiful, but don't get | :27:02. | :27:08. | |
used to it. All set to change, we have seen | :27:09. | :27:24. | |
atmospheric weather pictures but it has been an amazing start to | :27:25. | :27:28. | |
Halloween with a foggy morning first thing. Quite a lot of low cloud and | :27:29. | :27:34. | |
Fog as depicted by this picture, across parts of Lincolnshire. But | :27:35. | :27:38. | |
once the fog lifted, what a difference! Lovely spells of | :27:39. | :27:43. | |
sunshine and warmth, the warmest Halloween day across West Wales on | :27:44. | :27:47. | |
record. But across the far North, we saw a cooler and fresher feel with a | :27:48. | :27:51. | |
lot of cloud because of this weather front. It continues to head South. | :27:52. | :27:57. | |
Behind it, fresh weather. To the South of that, we will continue to | :27:58. | :28:01. | |
see quite a lot of fog forming. That is worth bearing in mind if you are | :28:02. | :28:07. | |
out and about on the roads early. Patchy but dense fog in places and | :28:08. | :28:12. | |
favoured spots across the M4 corridor, through South Wales, | :28:13. | :28:15. | |
towards the London area. That is worth bearing in mind first thing in | :28:16. | :28:19. | |
the morning. And unlike today, it will lift today, but only the low | :28:20. | :28:24. | |
cloud. It is a great and cool day with the weather front bringing some | :28:25. | :28:28. | |
rain. Behind it, brighter conditions to the North and West with decent | :28:29. | :28:33. | |
sunshine. But look at the feel of things. 7-12d, maybe 15 in the | :28:34. | :28:40. | |
south-west. That is a shock to the system. Clear skies by Dave reads | :28:41. | :28:44. | |
the clear skies overnight and a widespread frost. The first | :28:45. | :28:47. | |
significant frost across the country this winter. It will start with blue | :28:48. | :28:50. | |
sky and sunshine, more of a breeze to the East, but further | :28:51. | :28:55. | |
West, it will feel noticeably fresher. | :28:56. | :28:58. | |
