:00:08. > :00:11.alive continues as his case returns to the High Court.

:00:12. > :00:14.A judge has heard claims of "fresh evidence" about a therapy trial

:00:15. > :00:18.in America his parents say could help him.

:00:19. > :00:25.CHANTING: Save Charlie Gard! Save Charlie Gard!

:00:26. > :00:32.Emotions run high outside and in court, as Charlie's parents

:00:33. > :00:33.accuse the hospital of lying about their son.

:00:34. > :00:35.But specialists at Great Ormond Street insist

:00:36. > :00:38.A Conservative MP is suspended after using racist language

:00:39. > :00:45.Police say around 255 people survived the Grenfell Tower fire,

:00:46. > :00:48.the first time they've given such figures.

:00:49. > :00:52.A self-confessed IRA bomb maker finally admits being part

:00:53. > :00:54.of the group that killed 21 people in the Birmingham pub

:00:55. > :01:02.I apologise for all of the Republicans who had no

:01:03. > :01:08.President Trump says he didn't know his son had met a Russian

:01:09. > :01:10.lawyer with links to the Kremlin during the American

:01:11. > :01:18.And two Brits in the quarterfinals at Wimbledon for the first time

:01:19. > :01:22.since 1973, as Andy Murray and Johanna Konta

:01:23. > :01:30.And coming up on BBC News, we'll have the latest on a big day

:01:31. > :01:35.for both Andy Murray and Johanna Konta.

:01:36. > :01:39.And we hear from Wayne Rooney who has spoken to the media following

:01:40. > :01:58.his return to Everton for Manchester United.

:01:59. > :02:00.Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six.

:02:01. > :02:03.There were heated scenes in the High Court this afternoon

:02:04. > :02:05.as the parents of the terminally ill baby Charlie Gard returned

:02:06. > :02:08.with lawyers to present new evidence of an experimental treatment

:02:09. > :02:11.in America that they say could help him.

:02:12. > :02:14.Great Ormond Street Hospital in London, which is treating the boy,

:02:15. > :02:18.But Charlie's parents both interrupted the hearing, shouting

:02:19. > :02:24.11-month-old Charlie is suffering from a rare genetic condition

:02:25. > :02:34.Our medical correspondent Fergus Walsh reports.

:02:35. > :02:39.Vocal, passionate and determined. Charlie Gard's parents have

:02:40. > :02:46.considerable support, including the Pope and Donald Trump. Let us pray.

:02:47. > :02:49.And noticed pro-life -- now this pro-life evangelical preacher who

:02:50. > :02:55.was once jailed for anti-abortion protest in the US and has been

:02:56. > :02:59.praying by Charlie's bedside. If a court, if a judge, if a hospital

:03:00. > :03:03.official can come and tell a parent that they don't have the right or

:03:04. > :03:07.the authority to provide the kind of medical care that their child's

:03:08. > :03:13.needs, then parental rights are under attack and around the world,

:03:14. > :03:18.the fabric of our society unravels. It is well established in UK law

:03:19. > :03:23.that where parents and doctors cannot agree, a judge must decide

:03:24. > :03:28.what is appropriate. Charlie is so weak, he can't move and has serious

:03:29. > :03:33.brain damage. Four different courts have ruled he should be allowed to

:03:34. > :03:36.die with dignity. In court, lawyers for Charlie's parents said there was

:03:37. > :03:40.new information which showed an experimental treatment on offer in

:03:41. > :03:44.America might help their son. The judge said there wasn't a person

:03:45. > :03:48.alive who did not want Charlie to get better and he would be delighted

:03:49. > :03:52.the changes ruling but it had to be on the basis of clear evidence. He

:03:53. > :03:55.said he had to consider the hospital's view that every day that

:03:56. > :04:01.passed in flick did more suffering an Charlie. Charlie has a rare

:04:02. > :04:06.inherited condition, mitochondrial depletion syndrome. Mitochondria are

:04:07. > :04:10.found in nearly every cell and provide energy to the body but

:04:11. > :04:15.Charlie's don't function, so his muscles and organs are wasting.

:04:16. > :04:18.Nucleoside Verratti is a powder given in food which contains some of

:04:19. > :04:25.the building blocks of DNA and could help mitochondrial function. Animal

:04:26. > :04:29.studies suggest a modest 4% improvement. So far, 18 patients

:04:30. > :04:34.have been treated but crucially, none has Charlie's genetic mutation

:04:35. > :04:39.or his severe brain damage. But the High Court was told that unpublished

:04:40. > :04:43.data showing dramatic clinical improvement and claims the therapy

:04:44. > :04:46.could improve brain function. The experimental therapy has never been

:04:47. > :04:51.tried in humans or animals with Charlie's exact condition.

:04:52. > :04:55.Paediatricians say Great Ormond Street would be concerned it could

:04:56. > :04:58.do him harm. There's a lot of unknowns here and I think the

:04:59. > :05:02.doctors and nurses looking after him, colleagues really will have

:05:03. > :05:05.considered all of these processes because that is what they do, that

:05:06. > :05:09.is their day job and they are some of the most expert people in the

:05:10. > :05:13.world in this area. The judge said he would consider the merits of any

:05:14. > :05:16.new evidence on Thursday. Meanwhile, Charlie continues to receive

:05:17. > :05:18.round-the-clock care at Great Ormond Street Street Hospital.

:05:19. > :05:28.What will it take for the judge to change his mind? The parents will

:05:29. > :05:31.have to come up with significant new evidence that this experimental

:05:32. > :05:36.therapy can be of benefit to Charlie. The judge was clear, he's

:05:37. > :05:40.not going to rake over old facts. There was really immense frustration

:05:41. > :05:43.on both sides in court. Lawyers for the hospital said they had tried

:05:44. > :05:48.repeatedly over the weekend to find out what was this alleged to new

:05:49. > :05:53.evidence and got nowhere. Then at one point, a text was read out from

:05:54. > :05:57.Charlie's mon's phone from an American doctor that there was a 10%

:05:58. > :06:01.chance of improvement to Charlie but we don't know what the source of

:06:02. > :06:05.that information is. On the parents' side, they cried out to the judge

:06:06. > :06:09.that the hospital was lying to him and really they should have the

:06:10. > :06:12.chance to take their son abroad. But the parents and the doctors can

:06:13. > :06:18.agree on nothing at this stage. The hospital says, for example, that

:06:19. > :06:23.because Charlie's brain is no longer growing, his head circumference has

:06:24. > :06:26.not increased in the past three months but then Charlie's mum cried

:06:27. > :06:29.out that it has so the judge said he wanted a tape measure taken to

:06:30. > :06:32.measure his head and on Thursday, tell him the truth. It has got to

:06:33. > :06:35.that level of dispute between the sides. Thank you for joining us.

:06:36. > :06:37.The Prime Minister's offer to opposition parties to work

:06:38. > :06:40.with the government on major issues has been rebuffed by Labour,

:06:41. > :06:42.who said her party "had completely run out of ideas".

:06:43. > :06:45.The strategy is being seen as a an attempt by Theresa May

:06:46. > :06:48.The strategy is being seen as an attempt by Theresa May

:06:49. > :06:49.to reassert her authority since losing her parliamentary

:06:50. > :07:00.But tonight, she's having to deal with a problem

:07:01. > :07:03.with one of her own MPs, who's been suspended for making

:07:04. > :07:06.Here's our political editor Laura Kuenssberg.

:07:07. > :07:15.Monday morning at the market. Not any old shoppers. How are you? The

:07:16. > :07:20.Prime Minister and her Australian counterpart, here to meet people

:07:21. > :07:23.caught up in a terror attack. But Prime Minister Turnbull happens to

:07:24. > :07:29.be an old friend of Theresa May. She does not seem to have many in

:07:30. > :07:31.politics these days. Thank you, Prime Minister, Malcolm, for

:07:32. > :07:34.visiting us today and the excellent discussions we've had. It's always a

:07:35. > :07:37.pleasure to welcome our Australian friends to London and even more so

:07:38. > :07:42.when you've just beaten them at cricket. With fears about her

:07:43. > :07:46.authority in her own party, she is making an appeal for others to work

:07:47. > :07:51.with her. You want the opposition to contribute as well as to criticise,

:07:52. > :07:55.you are expected to say tomorrow. What do you say to your own critics,

:07:56. > :07:59.including in your own party, who say it is you that needs to change? The

:08:00. > :08:04.government has got an ambitious agenda. It is an ambitious agenda

:08:05. > :08:07.which is there to address the big challenges the country faces. Of

:08:08. > :08:10.course, one of those is getting the Brexit negotiations right but there

:08:11. > :08:14.are other challenges we face as the country, too. I think the public

:08:15. > :08:22.will rightly want us to get the broadest possible consensus in

:08:23. > :08:25.looking at those issues. Jeremy Corbyn. Her offer was mocked by the

:08:26. > :08:27.Labour leader. The government is apparently now asking other parties

:08:28. > :08:31.for their policy ideas and so if the Prime Minister would like it, I'm

:08:32. > :08:36.very happy to furniture with a copy of our election manifesto. A

:08:37. > :08:41.difficult afternoon got worse. Annemarie Morris is duly elected...

:08:42. > :08:44.While she was on her beat, a recording emerged of Tory MP

:08:45. > :08:46.Annemarie Morris talking at a private event about Brexit, using

:08:47. > :08:59.offensive language. She said the phrase was

:09:00. > :09:03.unintentional and has apologised unreservedly if offence was caused.

:09:04. > :09:09.The comments emerging on the day the Prime Minister called for an end to

:09:10. > :09:12.abuse and MPs were quick to seize on it. She agree that where that where

:09:13. > :09:17.that happens, organisations should take decisive and swift action?

:09:18. > :09:21.Offensive behaviour by backbenchers is one thing. Asking the opposition

:09:22. > :09:24.for help with another. But with no majority to call her own, the Prime

:09:25. > :09:31.Minister can barely afford for anything to go wrong. With her

:09:32. > :09:37.authority cracked, there are no easy days for this Prime Minister. And in

:09:38. > :09:42.the last 15 minutes, Theresa May has now suspended that MP, Annemarie

:09:43. > :09:46.Morris, condemning her remarks. What is not clear is for how long she is

:09:47. > :09:50.going to be out of the Tory party. While there may be calls for her to

:09:51. > :09:54.quit altogether, to stand down, in this the bra political atmosphere at

:09:55. > :10:00.the moment, the Conservatives would be very nervous of any by-election.

:10:01. > :10:03.By suspending have some time, though, it means Theresa May's

:10:04. > :10:06.narrow current advantage in the Commons has slipped by one and this

:10:07. > :10:08.is an era where every vote will matter. Laura, thank you.

:10:09. > :10:11.The Metropolitan Police now say they believe around 255 people

:10:12. > :10:13.managed to escape the fire at Grenfell Tower last month.

:10:14. > :10:15.The official estimate of the dead and missing remains

:10:16. > :10:21.Our home affairs correspondent Tom Symonds is at Scotland Yard.

:10:22. > :10:23.The first time we've had such a figure.

:10:24. > :10:31.There's been a lot of dispute about how many were there that night.

:10:32. > :10:37.There has. I mean, here is the context. On the night of the fire or

:10:38. > :10:42.just afterwards, it was acclaimed about 500-600 people were living at

:10:43. > :10:45.Grenfell Tower. The police today have said they think it is nearer

:10:46. > :10:50.350 and some of them were not in on the night. Their figure for the

:10:51. > :10:56.number who escaped injury or escape from the fire with their lives is

:10:57. > :11:00.about 255. Crucially, the number of dead and missing remains at about

:11:01. > :11:04.80, which is going to be controversial. Some people just

:11:05. > :11:06.don't believe the figure. But the police investigation continues,

:11:07. > :11:12.sifting through every bit of debris inside a tower where the temperature

:11:13. > :11:15.reached 1000 degrees and also investigating 60 or so companies

:11:16. > :11:21.involved in the maintenance and refurbishment of Grenfell Tower.

:11:22. > :11:24.Stuart Cundy, the Metropolitan Police commander, said, "You can't

:11:25. > :11:28.listen to the families and the 999 calls and not want to hold people to

:11:29. > :11:32.account for a fire that should not have happened". Thank U.

:11:33. > :11:34.The High Court has ruled that government arms sales

:11:35. > :11:36.to Saudi Arabia are lawful and shouldn't be halted.

:11:37. > :11:38.It follows a case brought by a pressure group,

:11:39. > :11:42.It argued that the UK had broken international humanitarian law

:11:43. > :11:49.by selling weapons that had been used to kill civilians in Yemen,

:11:50. > :11:54.where the Saudis have conducted air strikes against rebels.

:11:55. > :11:57.President Trump says he did not know that during his presidential

:11:58. > :12:01.campaign last year, his eldest son and his son-in-law met a Russian

:12:02. > :12:03.lawyer who claimed to have damaging information about his rival,

:12:04. > :12:09.Donald Trump Jr insists "no meaningful information" was provided

:12:10. > :12:17.Our chief correspondent Gavin Hewitt reports from Washington.

:12:18. > :12:27.This is Donald Trump's eldest son. I am Donald Trump Jr. Last June, after

:12:28. > :12:30.the Republican convention, he met with a Russian lawyer who promised

:12:31. > :12:35.damaging material on Hillary Clinton's campaign. The meeting was

:12:36. > :12:39.here at Trump Tower in New York. Until this weekend, Donald Trump Jr

:12:40. > :12:42.had not mentioned it but it was not a casual encounter, he brought along

:12:43. > :12:47.Tromp's campaign manager and his son-in-law and then his story has

:12:48. > :12:49.changed. On Saturday, he said they primarily discussed a programme

:12:50. > :12:55.about the adoption of Russian children. By the following day, he

:12:56. > :12:59.said, "The woman lawyer stated she had information that individuals

:13:00. > :13:03.connected to Russia were funding the Democratic National committee and

:13:04. > :13:06.supporting Mrs Clinton". He was told there would be information that may

:13:07. > :13:10.be helpful to the campaign. There was no such information but again, I

:13:11. > :13:13.want to ask your question, if we're going to keep using the word

:13:14. > :13:18.pollution, where is the evidence of collusion. On Friday, President

:13:19. > :13:21.Trump met President Putin and asked him directly about meddling in the

:13:22. > :13:25.American election campaign. President Putin denied it denied it.

:13:26. > :13:27.It is not clear how forcefully President Trump pursued this but

:13:28. > :13:33.there was an agreement between the two leaders that it was now time to

:13:34. > :13:36.move forward. News of Trump Jr's Russian meeting does not put

:13:37. > :13:40.President Trump in immediate jeopardy. He says he has no

:13:41. > :13:43.knowledge of it. What it does do is keep open the central question that

:13:44. > :13:47.has dogged the administration. Was there collusion between the Trump

:13:48. > :13:54.campaign team and the Russians? It promises months of further

:13:55. > :13:57.investigations. Trump Jr called the latest revelation is a big yawn but

:13:58. > :14:02.it is the first public indication that some in the Trump campaign were

:14:03. > :14:06.willing potentially to accept Russian help. For the president, it

:14:07. > :14:07.is a reminder that not everything goes his way. Gavin Hewitt, BBC

:14:08. > :14:09.News, Washington. The legal battle to keep

:14:10. > :14:14.the terminally-ill baby Charlie Gard alive continues,

:14:15. > :14:27.as his case returns A pay gap on teachers will stay but

:14:28. > :14:31.there are warnings that is putting off new recruits.

:14:32. > :14:35.Coming up on BBC News, the latest on a big day for Andy Murray and

:14:36. > :14:46.Johanna Konta, at 6:30pm. The Birmingham pub

:14:47. > :14:49.bombings in 1974 - it was one the worst IRA attacks

:14:50. > :14:52.in England during the many 21 people were killed

:14:53. > :14:56.and almost 200 were injured. Now, decades later -

:14:57. > :15:00.a self-confessed IRA bomb maker has finally admitted that he was part

:15:01. > :15:03.of the group responsible In an exclusive interview

:15:04. > :15:08.with the BBC, he has apologised to the families of those

:15:09. > :15:12.who were killed. But he has refused to say

:15:13. > :15:14.exactly what role he played Today, a relative of one

:15:15. > :15:23.of the victims called him a coward. Here's our Ireland

:15:24. > :15:25.correspondent Chris Buckler. The bombs were left in the heart

:15:26. > :15:31.of Birmingham on a Thursday night. Placed inside pubs

:15:32. > :15:34.to cause destruction. In the same year - 1974 -

:15:35. > :15:43.Mick Hayes took part in this funeral He was a well-known Republican,

:15:44. > :15:54.an admitted IRA bomb-maker who was convicted of paramilitary

:15:55. > :15:59.offences in the Republic of Ireland. And now, four decades

:16:00. > :16:02.after the murders in Birmingham, Mick Hayes has emerged again

:16:03. > :16:05.to admit he was part of the group Was a participant in the IRA's

:16:06. > :16:11.activities in Birmingham - I was a participant in the IRA's

:16:12. > :16:18.campaign in England. But you're not answering

:16:19. > :16:20.the question - did I'm giving you the only

:16:21. > :16:24.answer I can give you. Mick Hayes has in the past been

:16:25. > :16:28.questioned and named as a suspect in the bombings,

:16:29. > :16:32.but he's never been charged. Even now, he won't say what role

:16:33. > :16:35.he played in the IRA attack, but he says he takes "collective

:16:36. > :16:38.responsibility" for it. And I apologise,

:16:39. > :16:45.not only for myself. I apologise for all Republicans,

:16:46. > :16:50.who had no intention of hurting And the relatives, again,

:16:51. > :16:56.the relatives will say that you have I know they'll say that,

:16:57. > :17:03.and from their point of view, I don't shirk my responsibility

:17:04. > :17:10.in that direction. A group of men were charged

:17:11. > :17:15.and found guilty of the bombing, but it was a famous

:17:16. > :17:18.miscarriage of justice. And the convictions

:17:19. > :17:20.of the men who became known as the Birmingham Six

:17:21. > :17:35.were eventually overturned. For 16.5 years, we have been used

:17:36. > :17:37.as political scapegoats! Today, the families of those

:17:38. > :17:40.murdered in the pub bombings watched Mick Hayes' apology,

:17:41. > :17:42.and were angered by it. He reckons that he'd rather die

:17:43. > :17:46.than be an informer. But he's more than happy to take

:17:47. > :17:48."collective responsibility" for the murder of 21

:17:49. > :17:52.innocents in Birmingham. Mick Hayes avoided many questions,

:17:53. > :17:56.but he claims mistakes led the IRA to give bomb warnings too late,

:17:57. > :18:00.and that he personally defused a third bomb left in Birmingham

:18:01. > :18:05.city centre that night. When they found out what had

:18:06. > :18:26.happened, we defused the third one. In the Hagley Road.

:18:27. > :18:28.Who defused it? Many in modern-day Birmingham

:18:29. > :18:33.will question why Mick Hayes has come forward now,

:18:34. > :18:35.particularly as no-one has ever been held legally responsible

:18:36. > :18:38.for murdering the 21 people who died The independent pay review

:18:39. > :18:55.of teachers has recommended how teachers pay should be divided,

:18:56. > :19:09.within the Government's 1% Can teachers pay stretch any

:19:10. > :19:13.further, or are the days of 1% pay rises numbered? Schools are

:19:14. > :19:16.beginning to feel the impact took - not enough people training as

:19:17. > :19:23.teachers, others leaving after just a few years. Can schools afford to

:19:24. > :19:27.give them any more? The people coming out of university, they

:19:28. > :19:33.looked at the Hay of various different jobs, and it is producing

:19:34. > :19:38.our ability to recruit. The review body said last year that if there is

:19:39. > :19:42.not a pay rise of more than 1%, and I think they meant quite a bit more

:19:43. > :19:45.than that, then there will be a problem in teacher recruitment.

:19:46. > :19:51.Teachers pay in England has been held down. First, a two-year pay

:19:52. > :19:57.freeze meant no increase in 2011 and 2012. Then, a 1% average paid cap

:19:58. > :20:03.rise has been in place, just like the rest of the public sector. It

:20:04. > :20:09.would cost around ?1.6 billion for schools in England to increase pay

:20:10. > :20:12.in line with inflation. Teachers' pay isn't what parents talk about in

:20:13. > :20:18.the playground, but school budgets are, and the two are connected,

:20:19. > :20:23.because page, national insurance and pensions all come out of what

:20:24. > :20:28.schools have to spend. And it is the concern around the budget pressures

:20:29. > :20:34.on schools which can shift the political compass in the debate

:20:35. > :20:40.about public sector spending. Ministers have been singing very

:20:41. > :20:44.different tunes on public pay. But the Education Secretary has not

:20:45. > :20:48.called for the pay cap to be lifted. Justine Greening is facing bigger

:20:49. > :20:54.pressures on school budgets. Rising costs already mean real terms cuts

:20:55. > :20:58.per-pupil. So today, no promise of more money for teachers but a

:20:59. > :21:02.warning this can't go on forever. The Government made it very clear to

:21:03. > :21:07.all the pay review bodies that they should be looking at limiting

:21:08. > :21:12.increases overall to 1%, within the Government's paid targets and

:21:13. > :21:15.spending targets. Politics may have changed more recently, but the work

:21:16. > :21:19.of this review body will have happened over the last several

:21:20. > :21:23.months, and they're still working within the instructions which were

:21:24. > :21:26.even to them a year ago. Schools face growing pressures on their

:21:27. > :21:30.budgets, they'd need enough teachers, too. It is a problem

:21:31. > :21:41.today's report warns won't go away. For the first time in 44 years, a

:21:42. > :21:44.British man and a British woman are both through to the last eight at

:21:45. > :21:47.Wimbledon. Andy Murray and Johanna Konta will play in the

:21:48. > :21:53.quarterfinals. Joe Wilson is there for us. Yes, two British champions,

:21:54. > :21:57.it is still on! The second week of Wimbledon, in some ways you're

:21:58. > :22:01.relieved just to still be going, like the Grand National, but then

:22:02. > :22:05.your mind turns towards the finishing line, and today is a

:22:06. > :22:09.special day. Monday morning, keep moving, if you want to see

:22:10. > :22:13.everything. The umbrella? Your choice. What unites everyone here is

:22:14. > :22:18.what Wimbledon calls the pursuit of greatness. It has been expect it of

:22:19. > :22:26.him, motivates her and still entices him. Johanna Konta was up against

:22:27. > :22:32.Caroline Garcia in a match of small margins. The first set was tight.

:22:33. > :22:43.The tie-break was tight. Johanna Konta won it. Back came Darcey to

:22:44. > :22:46.win the second set. Garcia had served brilliantly, but this was

:22:47. > :22:53.match point, this was Wimbledon and this was a critical mistake. Give

:22:54. > :22:58.Johanna Konta an occasion, she will rise to it. It is those situations

:22:59. > :23:02.that I dreamt of when I was a little girl, and to be part of those

:23:03. > :23:07.battles on big stages, that's really what it's about to be a professional

:23:08. > :23:13.athlete. Now, the first British woman into a quarterfinal at

:23:14. > :23:17.Wimbledon since 1984 and Jo Durie - what does that mean to you? That's

:23:18. > :23:21.pretty special. When Andy Murray is doing his own running commentary,

:23:22. > :23:26.there is concern. But he got through it today. He was up against Benoit

:23:27. > :23:31.Paire, number 46 in the world. At Wimbledon, Murray has never lost to

:23:32. > :23:41.a player ranked so low. Murray was getting there. Tie-break in the

:23:42. > :23:43.first, 6-4 in the second. In the third set, Murray got heated with

:23:44. > :23:51.the umpire over a challenge. Centre Court sympathised. A challenge to

:23:52. > :23:55.immediately! No matter, Murray said it was the best he had hit the ball

:23:56. > :24:01.so far in the tournament, and ultimately, Benoit Paire couldn't

:24:02. > :24:06.match it. Two British players through today, two French players

:24:07. > :24:08.made way. Meanwhile, close by, Rafael Nadal walked on to No. 1

:24:09. > :24:14.Court, limbering up - without Headroom! Ouch! He soon found

:24:15. > :24:23.himself two sets down against Gilles Muller, of Luxembourg. Nadal has

:24:24. > :24:27.made a comeback, and they are into the fifth set. Meanwhile, Roger

:24:28. > :24:32.Federer is two sets up on Centre Court. For Johanna Konta and Andy

:24:33. > :24:40.Murray, for a day at least, the hard work is done.

:24:41. > :24:42.Thomas Gainsborough was one of the most famous portrait

:24:43. > :24:44.and landscape painters of the 18th century -

:24:45. > :24:47.but despite his fame, 25 of his sketches have

:24:48. > :24:48.for decades been wrongly attributed to another artist.

:24:49. > :24:51.The pictures, which he drew as a young man, have been discovered

:24:52. > :24:53.in the Royal Collection at Windsor Castle.

:24:54. > :24:54.Our arts correspondent Rebecca Jones reports.

:24:55. > :24:58.Gainsborough's most famous portrait, The Blue Boy, painted in 1770.

:24:59. > :25:02.He was the most important British artist of the second half

:25:03. > :25:04.of the 18th century, yet few of his early drawings

:25:05. > :25:13.They've lain undiscovered in this album, here in the Print Room

:25:14. > :25:19.at Windsor Castle, since the reign of Queen Victoria.

:25:20. > :25:21.She wanted some drawings by Landseer, and this

:25:22. > :25:24.but little did she know that the drawings inside are

:25:25. > :25:26.actually by a different artist altogether.

:25:27. > :25:29.It was only when the historian Lindsay Stainton was sent a box

:25:30. > :25:32.of photos of the drawings that the mistake came to light.

:25:33. > :25:35.I was looking at boxes and boxes of photographs

:25:36. > :25:39.and I thought, "Oh, I'll just have a look through these".

:25:40. > :25:43.and I thought, "Oh, I'll just have a look through these."

:25:44. > :25:48.And I just jumped up from my chair and said to myself, "Good God,

:25:49. > :25:51.that's a study for Cornard Wood and all of these are early

:25:52. > :25:57.And this sketch of Cornard Wood near Sudbury in Suffolk would appear

:25:58. > :25:59.to be the compelling evidence that proves the drawings

:26:00. > :26:08.When it is laid over the finished picture, it matches exactly.

:26:09. > :26:10.This was his preparatory study, and it's as if we're present

:26:11. > :26:13.in the studio with him, which is a rather wonderful thought.

:26:14. > :26:14.But the discoveries didn't end there.

:26:15. > :26:18.A drawing of the head of a young woman was found on the back

:26:19. > :26:23.It could even be Gainsborough's future wife.

:26:24. > :26:25.All the pictures can now be viewed online

:26:26. > :26:40.Time for a look at the weather. And there is some change ahead, is that

:26:41. > :26:50.right? Changeable is the word we could use, yes. A mixed week as we

:26:51. > :26:56.head through the next few days. One thing we will all feel is a cooler

:26:57. > :27:02.and fresher feel to the weather, compared to what we have had of

:27:03. > :27:06.late. This was the scene, a beautiful landscape at Lerwick in

:27:07. > :27:09.Shetland. It was a different story, though, this afternoon in East

:27:10. > :27:14.Anglia, storm clouds gathering in Felixstowe. On the radar picture,

:27:15. > :27:18.you can see some showers scattered across the country, particularly

:27:19. > :27:25.heavy ones breaking out across East Anglia this afternoon. Some of those

:27:26. > :27:30.will continue into the evening. They will tend to ease, and things will

:27:31. > :27:35.be clouding over from the west. There will be some rain,

:27:36. > :27:39.particularly across western areas. It will be feeling cooler tonight

:27:40. > :27:45.than it has been of late. Tomorrow, this low pressure wobbling in from

:27:46. > :27:48.the west. A bit of uncertainty still about which track it will take. But

:27:49. > :27:58.it's southern areas which will get the wettest weather. A bit of

:27:59. > :28:02.uncertainty about how much rain will get into the likes of north Wales,

:28:03. > :28:05.the north Midlands and northern England. For Scotland and Northern

:28:06. > :28:09.Ireland, it is another day of sunshine and showers. Temperature

:28:10. > :28:15.is, way down on where they were, particularly in the south-east.

:28:16. > :28:17.There is a chance of seeing some rain on and off at Wimbledon

:28:18. > :28:28.tomorrow, which could interrupt play. Wednesday, the low will clear

:28:29. > :28:33.away, that means some drier and fine weather, still feeling cooler. For

:28:34. > :28:40.the end of the week, mainly dry with some rain at times. That is all from

:28:41. > :28:41.the BBC News at
