Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six. | :01:59. | :02:00. | |
There were heated scenes in the High Court this afternoon | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
as the parents of the terminally ill baby Charlie Gard returned | :02:04. | :02:05. | |
with lawyers to present new evidence of an experimental treatment | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
in America that they say could help him. | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
Great Ormond Street Hospital in London, which is treating the boy, | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
But Charlie's parents both interrupted the hearing, shouting | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
11-month-old Charlie is suffering from a rare genetic condition | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
Our medical correspondent Fergus Walsh reports. | :02:25. | :02:34. | |
Vocal, passionate and determined. Charlie Gard's parents have | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
considerable support, including the Pope and Donald Trump. Let us pray. | :02:40. | :02:46. | |
And noticed pro-life -- now this pro-life evangelical preacher who | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
was once jailed for anti-abortion protest in the US and has been | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
praying by Charlie's bedside. If a court, if a judge, if a hospital | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
official can come and tell a parent that they don't have the right or | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
the authority to provide the kind of medical care that their child's | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
needs, then parental rights are under attack and around the world, | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
the fabric of our society unravels. It is well established in UK law | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
that where parents and doctors cannot agree, a judge must decide | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
what is appropriate. Charlie is so weak, he can't move and has serious | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
brain damage. Four different courts have ruled he should be allowed to | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
die with dignity. In court, lawyers for Charlie's parents said there was | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
new information which showed an experimental treatment on offer in | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
America might help their son. The judge said there wasn't a person | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
alive who did not want Charlie to get better and he would be delighted | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
the changes ruling but it had to be on the basis of clear evidence. He | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
said he had to consider the hospital's view that every day that | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
passed in flick did more suffering an Charlie. Charlie has a rare | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
inherited condition, mitochondrial depletion syndrome. Mitochondria are | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
found in nearly every cell and provide energy to the body but | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
Charlie's don't function, so his muscles and organs are wasting. | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
Nucleoside Verratti is a powder given in food which contains some of | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
the building blocks of DNA and could help mitochondrial function. Animal | :04:19. | :04:25. | |
studies suggest a modest 4% improvement. So far, 18 patients | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
have been treated but crucially, none has Charlie's genetic mutation | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
or his severe brain damage. But the High Court was told that unpublished | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
data showing dramatic clinical improvement and claims the therapy | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
could improve brain function. The experimental therapy has never been | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
tried in humans or animals with Charlie's exact condition. | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
Paediatricians say Great Ormond Street would be concerned it could | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
do him harm. There's a lot of unknowns here and I think the | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
doctors and nurses looking after him, colleagues really will have | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
considered all of these processes because that is what they do, that | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
is their day job and they are some of the most expert people in the | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
world in this area. The judge said he would consider the merits of any | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
new evidence on Thursday. Meanwhile, Charlie continues to receive | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
round-the-clock care at Great Ormond Street Street Hospital. | :05:17. | :05:18. | |
What will it take for the judge to change his mind? The parents will | :05:19. | :05:28. | |
have to come up with significant new evidence that this experimental | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
therapy can be of benefit to Charlie. The judge was clear, he's | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
not going to rake over old facts. There was really immense frustration | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
on both sides in court. Lawyers for the hospital said they had tried | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
repeatedly over the weekend to find out what was this alleged to new | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
evidence and got nowhere. Then at one point, a text was read out from | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
Charlie's mon's phone from an American doctor that there was a 10% | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
chance of improvement to Charlie but we don't know what the source of | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
that information is. On the parents' side, they cried out to the judge | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
that the hospital was lying to him and really they should have the | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
chance to take their son abroad. But the parents and the doctors can | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
agree on nothing at this stage. The hospital says, for example, that | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
because Charlie's brain is no longer growing, his head circumference has | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
not increased in the past three months but then Charlie's mum cried | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
out that it has so the judge said he wanted a tape measure taken to | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
measure his head and on Thursday, tell him the truth. It has got to | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
that level of dispute between the sides. Thank you for joining us. | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
The Prime Minister's offer to opposition parties to work | :06:36. | :06:37. | |
with the government on major issues has been rebuffed by Labour, | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
who said her party "had completely run out of ideas". | :06:41. | :06:42. | |
The strategy is being seen as a an attempt by Theresa May | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
The strategy is being seen as an attempt by Theresa May | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
to reassert her authority since losing her parliamentary | :06:49. | :06:49. | |
But tonight, she's having to deal with a problem | :06:50. | :07:00. | |
with one of her own MPs, who's been suspended for making | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
Here's our political editor Laura Kuenssberg. | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
Monday morning at the market. Not any old shoppers. How are you? The | :07:07. | :07:15. | |
Prime Minister and her Australian counterpart, here to meet people | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
caught up in a terror attack. But Prime Minister Turnbull happens to | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
be an old friend of Theresa May. She does not seem to have many in | :07:24. | :07:29. | |
politics these days. Thank you, Prime Minister, Malcolm, for | :07:30. | :07:31. | |
visiting us today and the excellent discussions we've had. It's always a | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
pleasure to welcome our Australian friends to London and even more so | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
when you've just beaten them at cricket. With fears about her | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
authority in her own party, she is making an appeal for others to work | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
with her. You want the opposition to contribute as well as to criticise, | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
you are expected to say tomorrow. What do you say to your own critics, | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
including in your own party, who say it is you that needs to change? The | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
government has got an ambitious agenda. It is an ambitious agenda | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
which is there to address the big challenges the country faces. Of | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
course, one of those is getting the Brexit negotiations right but there | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
are other challenges we face as the country, too. I think the public | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
will rightly want us to get the broadest possible consensus in | :08:15. | :08:22. | |
looking at those issues. Jeremy Corbyn. Her offer was mocked by the | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
Labour leader. The government is apparently now asking other parties | :08:26. | :08:27. | |
for their policy ideas and so if the Prime Minister would like it, I'm | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
very happy to furniture with a copy of our election manifesto. A | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
difficult afternoon got worse. Annemarie Morris is duly elected... | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
While she was on her beat, a recording emerged of Tory MP | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
Annemarie Morris talking at a private event about Brexit, using | :08:45. | :08:46. | |
offensive language. She said the phrase was | :08:47. | :08:59. | |
unintentional and has apologised unreservedly if offence was caused. | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
The comments emerging on the day the Prime Minister called for an end to | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
abuse and MPs were quick to seize on it. She agree that where that where | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
that happens, organisations should take decisive and swift action? | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
Offensive behaviour by backbenchers is one thing. Asking the opposition | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
for help with another. But with no majority to call her own, the Prime | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
Minister can barely afford for anything to go wrong. With her | :09:25. | :09:31. | |
authority cracked, there are no easy days for this Prime Minister. And in | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
the last 15 minutes, Theresa May has now suspended that MP, Annemarie | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
Morris, condemning her remarks. What is not clear is for how long she is | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
going to be out of the Tory party. While there may be calls for her to | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
quit altogether, to stand down, in this the bra political atmosphere at | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
the moment, the Conservatives would be very nervous of any by-election. | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
By suspending have some time, though, it means Theresa May's | :10:01. | :10:03. | |
narrow current advantage in the Commons has slipped by one and this | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
is an era where every vote will matter. Laura, thank you. | :10:07. | :10:08. | |
The Metropolitan Police now say they believe around 255 people | :10:09. | :10:11. | |
managed to escape the fire at Grenfell Tower last month. | :10:12. | :10:13. | |
The official estimate of the dead and missing remains | :10:14. | :10:15. | |
Our home affairs correspondent Tom Symonds is at Scotland Yard. | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
The first time we've had such a figure. | :10:22. | :10:23. | |
There's been a lot of dispute about how many were there that night. | :10:24. | :10:31. | |
There has. I mean, here is the context. On the night of the fire or | :10:32. | :10:37. | |
just afterwards, it was acclaimed about 500-600 people were living at | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
Grenfell Tower. The police today have said they think it is nearer | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
350 and some of them were not in on the night. Their figure for the | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
number who escaped injury or escape from the fire with their lives is | :10:51. | :10:56. | |
about 255. Crucially, the number of dead and missing remains at about | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
80, which is going to be controversial. Some people just | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
don't believe the figure. But the police investigation continues, | :11:05. | :11:06. | |
sifting through every bit of debris inside a tower where the temperature | :11:07. | :11:12. | |
reached 1000 degrees and also investigating 60 or so companies | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
involved in the maintenance and refurbishment of Grenfell Tower. | :11:16. | :11:21. | |
Stuart Cundy, the Metropolitan Police commander, said, "You can't | :11:22. | :11:24. | |
listen to the families and the 999 calls and not want to hold people to | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
account for a fire that should not have happened". Thank U. | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
The High Court has ruled that government arms sales | :11:33. | :11:34. | |
to Saudi Arabia are lawful and shouldn't be halted. | :11:35. | :11:36. | |
It follows a case brought by a pressure group, | :11:37. | :11:38. | |
It argued that the UK had broken international humanitarian law | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
by selling weapons that had been used to kill civilians in Yemen, | :11:43. | :11:49. | |
where the Saudis have conducted air strikes against rebels. | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
President Trump says he did not know that during his presidential | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
campaign last year, his eldest son and his son-in-law met a Russian | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
lawyer who claimed to have damaging information about his rival, | :12:02. | :12:03. | |
Donald Trump Jr insists "no meaningful information" was provided | :12:04. | :12:09. | |
Our chief correspondent Gavin Hewitt reports from Washington. | :12:10. | :12:17. | |
This is Donald Trump's eldest son. I am Donald Trump Jr. Last June, after | :12:18. | :12:27. | |
the Republican convention, he met with a Russian lawyer who promised | :12:28. | :12:30. | |
damaging material on Hillary Clinton's campaign. The meeting was | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
here at Trump Tower in New York. Until this weekend, Donald Trump Jr | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
had not mentioned it but it was not a casual encounter, he brought along | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
Tromp's campaign manager and his son-in-law and then his story has | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
changed. On Saturday, he said they primarily discussed a programme | :12:48. | :12:49. | |
about the adoption of Russian children. By the following day, he | :12:50. | :12:55. | |
said, "The woman lawyer stated she had information that individuals | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
connected to Russia were funding the Democratic National committee and | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
supporting Mrs Clinton". He was told there would be information that may | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
be helpful to the campaign. There was no such information but again, I | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
want to ask your question, if we're going to keep using the word | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
pollution, where is the evidence of collusion. On Friday, President | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
Trump met President Putin and asked him directly about meddling in the | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
American election campaign. President Putin denied it denied it. | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
It is not clear how forcefully President Trump pursued this but | :13:26. | :13:27. | |
there was an agreement between the two leaders that it was now time to | :13:28. | :13:33. | |
move forward. News of Trump Jr's Russian meeting does not put | :13:34. | :13:36. | |
President Trump in immediate jeopardy. He says he has no | :13:37. | :13:40. | |
knowledge of it. What it does do is keep open the central question that | :13:41. | :13:43. | |
has dogged the administration. Was there collusion between the Trump | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
campaign team and the Russians? It promises months of further | :13:48. | :13:54. | |
investigations. Trump Jr called the latest revelation is a big yawn but | :13:55. | :13:57. | |
it is the first public indication that some in the Trump campaign were | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
willing potentially to accept Russian help. For the president, it | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
is a reminder that not everything goes his way. Gavin Hewitt, BBC | :14:07. | :14:07. | |

Coming up on BBC News, the latest on a big day for Andy Murray and | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
Johanna Konta, at 6:30pm. The Birmingham pub | :14:36. | :14:46. | |
bombings in 1974 - it was one the worst IRA attacks | :14:47. | :14:49. | |
in England during the many 21 people were killed | :14:50. | :14:52. | |
and almost 200 were injured. Now, decades later - | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
a self-confessed IRA bomb maker has finally admitted that he was part | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
of the group responsible In an exclusive interview | :15:01. | :15:03. | |
with the BBC, he has apologised to the families of those | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
who were killed. But he has refused to say | :15:09. | :15:12. | |
exactly what role he played Today, a relative of one | :15:13. | :15:14. | |
of the victims called him a coward. Here's our Ireland | :15:15. | :15:23. | |
correspondent Chris Buckler. The bombs were left in the heart | :15:24. | :15:25. | |
of Birmingham on a Thursday night. Placed inside pubs | :15:26. | :15:31. | |
to cause destruction. In the same year - 1974 - | :15:32. | :15:34. | |
Mick Hayes took part in this funeral He was a well-known Republican, | :15:35. | :15:43. | |
an admitted IRA bomb-maker who was convicted of paramilitary | :15:44. | :15:54. | |
offences in the Republic of Ireland. And now, four decades | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
after the murders in Birmingham, Mick Hayes has emerged again | :16:00. | :16:02. | |
to admit he was part of the group Was a participant in the IRA's | :16:03. | :16:05. | |
activities in Birmingham - I was a participant in the IRA's | :16:06. | :16:11. | |
campaign in England. But you're not answering | :16:12. | :16:18. | |
the question - did I'm giving you the only | :16:19. | :16:20. | |
answer I can give you. Mick Hayes has in the past been | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
questioned and named as a suspect in the bombings, | :16:25. | :16:28. | |
but he's never been charged. Even now, he won't say what role | :16:29. | :16:32. | |
he played in the IRA attack, but he says he takes "collective | :16:33. | :16:35. | |
responsibility" for it. And I apologise, | :16:36. | :16:38. | |
not only for myself. I apologise for all Republicans, | :16:39. | :16:45. | |
who had no intention of hurting And the relatives, again, | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
the relatives will say that you have I know they'll say that, | :16:51. | :16:56. | |
and from their point of view, I don't shirk my responsibility | :16:57. | :17:03. | |
in that direction. A group of men were charged | :17:04. | :17:10. | |
and found guilty of the bombing, but it was a famous | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
miscarriage of justice. And the convictions | :17:16. | :17:18. | |
of the men who became known as the Birmingham Six | :17:19. | :17:20. | |
were eventually overturned. For 16.5 years, we have been used | :17:21. | :17:35. | |
as political scapegoats! Today, the families of those | :17:36. | :17:37. | |
murdered in the pub bombings watched Mick Hayes' apology, | :17:38. | :17:40. | |
and were angered by it. He reckons that he'd rather die | :17:41. | :17:42. | |
than be an informer. But he's more than happy to take | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
"collective responsibility" for the murder of 21 | :17:47. | :17:48. | |
innocents in Birmingham. Mick Hayes avoided many questions, | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
but he claims mistakes led the IRA to give bomb warnings too late, | :17:53. | :17:56. | |
and that he personally defused a third bomb left in Birmingham | :17:57. | :18:00. | |
city centre that night. When they found out what had | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
happened, we defused the third one. In the Hagley Road. | :18:06. | :18:26. | |
Who defused it? Many in modern-day Birmingham | :18:27. | :18:28. | |
will question why Mick Hayes has come forward now, | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
particularly as no-one has ever been held legally responsible | :18:34. | :18:35. | |
for murdering the 21 people who died The independent pay review | :18:36. | :18:38. | |
of teachers has recommended how teachers pay should be divided, | :18:39. | :18:55. | |
within the Government's 1% Can teachers pay stretch any | :18:56. | :19:09. | |
further, or are the days of 1% pay rises numbered? Schools are | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
beginning to feel the impact took - not enough people training as | :19:14. | :19:16. | |
teachers, others leaving after just a few years. Can schools afford to | :19:17. | :19:23. | |
give them any more? The people coming out of university, they | :19:24. | :19:27. | |
looked at the Hay of various different jobs, and it is producing | :19:28. | :19:33. | |
our ability to recruit. The review body said last year that if there is | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
not a pay rise of more than 1%, and I think they meant quite a bit more | :19:39. | :19:42. | |
than that, then there will be a problem in teacher recruitment. | :19:43. | :19:45. | |
Teachers pay in England has been held down. First, a two-year pay | :19:46. | :19:51. | |
freeze meant no increase in 2011 and 2012. Then, a 1% average paid cap | :19:52. | :19:57. | |
rise has been in place, just like the rest of the public sector. It | :19:58. | :20:03. | |
would cost around ?1.6 billion for schools in England to increase pay | :20:04. | :20:09. | |
in line with inflation. Teachers' pay isn't what parents talk about in | :20:10. | :20:12. | |
the playground, but school budgets are, and the two are connected, | :20:13. | :20:18. | |
because page, national insurance and pensions all come out of what | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
schools have to spend. And it is the concern around the budget pressures | :20:24. | :20:28. | |
on schools which can shift the political compass in the debate | :20:29. | :20:34. | |
about public sector spending. Ministers have been singing very | :20:35. | :20:40. | |
different tunes on public pay. But the Education Secretary has not | :20:41. | :20:44. | |
called for the pay cap to be lifted. Justine Greening is facing bigger | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
pressures on school budgets. Rising costs already mean real terms cuts | :20:49. | :20:54. | |
per-pupil. So today, no promise of more money for teachers but a | :20:55. | :20:58. | |
warning this can't go on forever. The Government made it very clear to | :20:59. | :21:02. | |
all the pay review bodies that they should be looking at limiting | :21:03. | :21:07. | |
increases overall to 1%, within the Government's paid targets and | :21:08. | :21:12. | |
spending targets. Politics may have changed more recently, but the work | :21:13. | :21:15. | |
of this review body will have happened over the last several | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
months, and they're still working within the instructions which were | :21:20. | :21:23. | |
even to them a year ago. Schools face growing pressures on their | :21:24. | :21:26. | |
budgets, they'd need enough teachers, too. It is a problem | :21:27. | :21:30. | |
today's report warns won't go away. For the first time in 44 years, a | :21:31. | :21:41. | |
British man and a British woman are both through to the last eight at | :21:42. | :21:44. | |
Wimbledon. Andy Murray and Johanna Konta will play in the | :21:45. | :21:47. | |
quarterfinals. Joe Wilson is there for us. Yes, two British champions, | :21:48. | :21:53. | |
it is still on! The second week of Wimbledon, in some ways you're | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
relieved just to still be going, like the Grand National, but then | :21:58. | :22:01. | |
your mind turns towards the finishing line, and today is a | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
special day. Monday morning, keep moving, if you want to see | :22:06. | :22:09. | |
everything. The umbrella? Your choice. What unites everyone here is | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
what Wimbledon calls the pursuit of greatness. It has been expect it of | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
him, motivates her and still entices him. Johanna Konta was up against | :22:19. | :22:26. | |
Caroline Garcia in a match of small margins. The first set was tight. | :22:27. | :22:32. | |
The tie-break was tight. Johanna Konta won it. Back came Darcey to | :22:33. | :22:43. | |
win the second set. Garcia had served brilliantly, but this was | :22:44. | :22:46. | |
match point, this was Wimbledon and this was a critical mistake. Give | :22:47. | :22:53. | |
Johanna Konta an occasion, she will rise to it. It is those situations | :22:54. | :22:58. | |
that I dreamt of when I was a little girl, and to be part of those | :22:59. | :23:02. | |
battles on big stages, that's really what it's about to be a professional | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
athlete. Now, the first British woman into a quarterfinal at | :23:08. | :23:13. | |
Wimbledon since 1984 and Jo Durie - what does that mean to you? That's | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
pretty special. When Andy Murray is doing his own running commentary, | :23:18. | :23:21. | |
there is concern. But he got through it today. He was up against Benoit | :23:22. | :23:26. | |
Paire, number 46 in the world. At Wimbledon, Murray has never lost to | :23:27. | :23:31. | |
a player ranked so low. Murray was getting there. Tie-break in the | :23:32. | :23:41. | |
first, 6-4 in the second. In the third set, Murray got heated with | :23:42. | :23:43. | |
the umpire over a challenge. Centre Court sympathised. A challenge to | :23:44. | :23:51. | |
immediately! No matter, Murray said it was the best he had hit the ball | :23:52. | :23:55. | |
so far in the tournament, and ultimately, Benoit Paire couldn't | :23:56. | :24:01. | |
match it. Two British players through today, two French players | :24:02. | :24:06. | |
made way. Meanwhile, close by, Rafael Nadal walked on to No. 1 | :24:07. | :24:08. | |
Court, limbering up - without Headroom! Ouch! He soon found | :24:09. | :24:14. | |
himself two sets down against Gilles Muller, of Luxembourg. Nadal has | :24:15. | :24:23. | |
made a comeback, and they are into the fifth set. Meanwhile, Roger | :24:24. | :24:27. | |
Federer is two sets up on Centre Court. For Johanna Konta and Andy | :24:28. | :24:32. | |
Murray, for a day at least, the hard work is done. | :24:33. | :24:40. | |
Thomas Gainsborough was one of the most famous portrait | :24:41. | :24:42. | |
and landscape painters of the 18th century - | :24:43. | :24:44. | |
but despite his fame, 25 of his sketches have | :24:45. | :24:47. | |
for decades been wrongly attributed to another artist. | :24:48. | :24:48. | |
The pictures, which he drew as a young man, have been discovered | :24:49. | :24:51. | |
in the Royal Collection at Windsor Castle. | :24:52. | :24:53. | |
Our arts correspondent Rebecca Jones reports. | :24:54. | :24:54. | |
Gainsborough's most famous portrait, The Blue Boy, painted in 1770. | :24:55. | :24:58. | |
He was the most important British artist of the second half | :24:59. | :25:02. | |
of the 18th century, yet few of his early drawings | :25:03. | :25:04. | |
They've lain undiscovered in this album, here in the Print Room | :25:05. | :25:13. | |
at Windsor Castle, since the reign of Queen Victoria. | :25:14. | :25:19. | |
She wanted some drawings by Landseer, and this | :25:20. | :25:21. | |
but little did she know that the drawings inside are | :25:22. | :25:24. | |
actually by a different artist altogether. | :25:25. | :25:26. | |
It was only when the historian Lindsay Stainton was sent a box | :25:27. | :25:29. | |
of photos of the drawings that the mistake came to light. | :25:30. | :25:32. | |
I was looking at boxes and boxes of photographs | :25:33. | :25:35. | |
and I thought, "Oh, I'll just have a look through these". | :25:36. | :25:39. | |
and I thought, "Oh, I'll just have a look through these." | :25:40. | :25:43. | |
And I just jumped up from my chair and said to myself, "Good God, | :25:44. | :25:48. | |
that's a study for Cornard Wood and all of these are early | :25:49. | :25:51. | |
And this sketch of Cornard Wood near Sudbury in Suffolk would appear | :25:52. | :25:57. | |
to be the compelling evidence that proves the drawings | :25:58. | :25:59. | |
When it is laid over the finished picture, it matches exactly. | :26:00. | :26:08. | |
This was his preparatory study, and it's as if we're present | :26:09. | :26:10. | |
in the studio with him, which is a rather wonderful thought. | :26:11. | :26:13. | |
But the discoveries didn't end there. | :26:14. | :26:14. | |
A drawing of the head of a young woman was found on the back | :26:15. | :26:18. | |
It could even be Gainsborough's future wife. | :26:19. | :26:23. | |
All the pictures can now be viewed online | :26:24. | :26:25. | |
Time for a look at the weather. And there is some change ahead, is that | :26:26. | :26:40. | |
right? Changeable is the word we could use, yes. A mixed week as we | :26:41. | :26:50. | |
head through the next few days. One thing we will all feel is a cooler | :26:51. | :26:56. | |
and fresher feel to the weather, compared to what we have had of | :26:57. | :27:02. | |
late. This was the scene, a beautiful landscape at Lerwick in | :27:03. | :27:06. | |
Shetland. It was a different story, though, this afternoon in East | :27:07. | :27:09. | |
Anglia, storm clouds gathering in Felixstowe. On the radar picture, | :27:10. | :27:14. | |
you can see some showers scattered across the country, particularly | :27:15. | :27:18. | |
heavy ones breaking out across East Anglia this afternoon. Some of those | :27:19. | :27:25. | |
will continue into the evening. They will tend to ease, and things will | :27:26. | :27:30. | |
be clouding over from the west. There will be some rain, | :27:31. | :27:35. | |
particularly across western areas. It will be feeling cooler tonight | :27:36. | :27:39. | |
than it has been of late. Tomorrow, this low pressure wobbling in from | :27:40. | :27:45. | |
the west. A bit of uncertainty still about which track it will take. But | :27:46. | :27:48. | |
it's southern areas which will get the wettest weather. A bit of | :27:49. | :27:58. | |
uncertainty about how much rain will get into the likes of north Wales, | :27:59. | :28:02. | |
the north Midlands and northern England. For Scotland and Northern | :28:03. | :28:05. | |
Ireland, it is another day of sunshine and showers. Temperature | :28:06. | :28:09. | |
is, way down on where they were, particularly in the south-east. | :28:10. | :28:15. | |
There is a chance of seeing some rain on and off at Wimbledon | :28:16. | :28:17. | |
tomorrow, which could interrupt play. Wednesday, the low will clear | :28:18. | :28:28. | |
away, that means some drier and fine weather, still feeling cooler. For | :28:29. | :28:33. | |
the end of the week, mainly dry with some rain at times. That is all from | :28:34. | :28:40. | |
