:00:07. > :00:10.alive continues as his case returns to the High Court.

:00:11. > :00:13.A judge has heard claims of "fresh evidence" about a therapy trial

:00:14. > :00:17.in America his parents say could help him.

:00:18. > :00:24.CHANTING: Save Charlie Gard! Save Charlie Gard!

:00:25. > :00:30.Emotions run high outside and in court, as Charlie's parents

:00:31. > :00:32.accuse the hospital of lying about their son.

:00:33. > :00:34.But specialists at Great Ormond Street insist

:00:35. > :00:37.A Conservative MP is suspended after using racist language

:00:38. > :00:43.Police say around 255 people survived the Grenfell Tower fire,

:00:44. > :00:47.the first time they've given such figures.

:00:48. > :00:50.A self-confessed IRA bomb maker finally admits being part

:00:51. > :00:53.of the group that killed 21 people in the Birmingham pub

:00:54. > :01:00.I apologise for all of the Republicans who had no

:01:01. > :01:07.President Trump says he didn't know his son had met a Russian

:01:08. > :01:09.lawyer with links to the Kremlin during the American

:01:10. > :01:17.And two Brits in the quarterfinals at Wimbledon for the first time

:01:18. > :01:21.since 1973, as Andy Murray and Johanna Konta

:01:22. > :01:29.And coming up on BBC News, we'll have the latest on a big day

:01:30. > :01:34.for both Andy Murray and Johanna Konta.

:01:35. > :01:38.And we hear from Wayne Rooney who has spoken to the media following

:01:39. > :01:57.his return to Everton for Manchester United.

:01:58. > :01:59.Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six.

:02:00. > :02:01.There were heated scenes in the High Court this afternoon

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

:02:05. > :02:07.with lawyers to present new evidence of an experimental treatment

:02:08. > :02:10.in America that they say could help him.

:02:11. > :02:12.Great Ormond Street Hospital in London, which is treating the boy,

:02:13. > :02:17.But Charlie's parents both interrupted the hearing, shouting

:02:18. > :02:22.11-month-old Charlie is suffering from a rare genetic condition

:02:23. > :02:33.Our medical correspondent Fergus Walsh reports.

:02:34. > :02:38.Vocal, passionate and determined. Charlie Gard's parents have

:02:39. > :02:45.considerable support, including the Pope and Donald Trump. Let us pray.

:02:46. > :02:48.And noticed pro-life -- now this pro-life evangelical preacher who

:02:49. > :02:53.was once jailed for anti-abortion protest in the US and has been

:02:54. > :02:58.praying by Charlie's bedside. If a court, if a judge, if a hospital

:02:59. > :03:02.official can come and tell a parent that they don't have the right or

:03:03. > :03:05.the authority to provide the kind of medical care that their child's

:03:06. > :03:12.needs, then parental rights are under attack and around the world,

:03:13. > :03:17.the fabric of our society unravels. It is well established in UK law

:03:18. > :03:22.that where parents and doctors cannot agree, a judge must decide

:03:23. > :03:27.what is appropriate. Charlie is so weak, he can't move and has serious

:03:28. > :03:31.brain damage. Four different courts have ruled he should be allowed to

:03:32. > :03:35.die with dignity. In court, lawyers for Charlie's parents said there was

:03:36. > :03:39.new information which showed an experimental treatment on offer in

:03:40. > :03:43.America might help their son. The judge said there wasn't a person

:03:44. > :03:46.alive who did not want Charlie to get better and he would be delighted

:03:47. > :03:51.the changes ruling but it had to be on the basis of clear evidence. He

:03:52. > :03:54.said he had to consider the hospital's view that every day that

:03:55. > :03:59.passed in flick did more suffering an Charlie. Charlie has a rare

:04:00. > :04:05.inherited condition, mitochondrial depletion syndrome. Mitochondria are

:04:06. > :04:09.found in nearly every cell and provide energy to the body but

:04:10. > :04:14.Charlie's don't function, so his muscles and organs are wasting.

:04:15. > :04:17.Nucleoside Verratti is a powder given in food which contains some of

:04:18. > :04:23.the building blocks of DNA and could help mitochondrial function. Animal

:04:24. > :04:28.studies suggest a modest 4% improvement. So far, 18 patients

:04:29. > :04:33.have been treated but crucially, none has Charlie's genetic mutation

:04:34. > :04:37.or his severe brain damage. But the High Court was told that unpublished

:04:38. > :04:41.data showing dramatic clinical improvement and claims the therapy

:04:42. > :04:45.could improve brain function. The experimental therapy has never been

:04:46. > :04:50.tried in humans or animals with Charlie's exact condition.

:04:51. > :04:54.Paediatricians say Great Ormond Street would be concerned it could

:04:55. > :04:57.do him harm. There's a lot of unknowns here and I think the

:04:58. > :05:01.doctors and nurses looking after him, colleagues really will have

:05:02. > :05:04.considered all of these processes because that is what they do, that

:05:05. > :05:08.is their day job and they are some of the most expert people in the

:05:09. > :05:12.world in this area. The judge said he would consider the merits of any

:05:13. > :05:15.new evidence on Thursday. Meanwhile, Charlie continues to receive

:05:16. > :05:16.round-the-clock care at Great Ormond Street Street Hospital.

:05:17. > :05:26.What will it take for the judge to change his mind? The parents will

:05:27. > :05:29.have to come up with significant new evidence that this experimental

:05:30. > :05:35.therapy can be of benefit to Charlie. The judge was clear, he's

:05:36. > :05:39.not going to rake over old facts. There was really immense frustration

:05:40. > :05:42.on both sides in court. Lawyers for the hospital said they had tried

:05:43. > :05:46.repeatedly over the weekend to find out what was this alleged to new

:05:47. > :05:52.evidence and got nowhere. Then at one point, a text was read out from

:05:53. > :05:56.Charlie's mon's phone from an American doctor that there was a 10%

:05:57. > :06:00.chance of improvement to Charlie but we don't know what the source of

:06:01. > :06:04.that information is. On the parents' side, they cried out to the judge

:06:05. > :06:08.that the hospital was lying to him and really they should have the

:06:09. > :06:11.chance to take their son abroad. But the parents and the doctors can

:06:12. > :06:17.agree on nothing at this stage. The hospital says, for example, that

:06:18. > :06:22.because Charlie's brain is no longer growing, his head circumference has

:06:23. > :06:25.not increased in the past three months but then Charlie's mum cried

:06:26. > :06:27.out that it has so the judge said he wanted a tape measure taken to

:06:28. > :06:31.measure his head and on Thursday, tell him the truth. It has got to

:06:32. > :06:33.that level of dispute between the sides. Thank you for joining us.

:06:34. > :06:36.The Prime Minister's offer to opposition parties to work

:06:37. > :06:38.with the government on major issues has been rebuffed by Labour,

:06:39. > :06:41.who said her party "had completely run out of ideas".

:06:42. > :06:44.The strategy is being seen as a an attempt by Theresa May

:06:45. > :06:46.The strategy is being seen as an attempt by Theresa May

:06:47. > :06:48.to reassert her authority since losing her parliamentary

:06:49. > :06:59.But tonight, she's having to deal with a problem

:07:00. > :07:01.with one of her own MPs, who's been suspended for making

:07:02. > :07:04.Here's our political editor Laura Kuenssberg.

:07:05. > :07:14.Monday morning at the market. Not any old shoppers. How are you? The

:07:15. > :07:19.Prime Minister and her Australian counterpart, here to meet people

:07:20. > :07:22.caught up in a terror attack. But Prime Minister Turnbull happens to

:07:23. > :07:28.be an old friend of Theresa May. She does not seem to have many in

:07:29. > :07:30.politics these days. Thank you, Prime Minister, Malcolm, for

:07:31. > :07:33.visiting us today and the excellent discussions we've had. It's always a

:07:34. > :07:36.pleasure to welcome our Australian friends to London and even more so

:07:37. > :07:41.when you've just beaten them at cricket. With fears about her

:07:42. > :07:45.authority in her own party, she is making an appeal for others to work

:07:46. > :07:50.with her. You want the opposition to contribute as well as to criticise,

:07:51. > :07:54.you are expected to say tomorrow. What do you say to your own critics,

:07:55. > :07:58.including in your own party, who say it is you that needs to change? The

:07:59. > :08:03.government has got an ambitious agenda. It is an ambitious agenda

:08:04. > :08:06.which is there to address the big challenges the country faces. Of

:08:07. > :08:09.course, one of those is getting the Brexit negotiations right but there

:08:10. > :08:13.are other challenges we face as the country, too. I think the public

:08:14. > :08:21.will rightly want us to get the broadest possible consensus in

:08:22. > :08:23.looking at those issues. Jeremy Corbyn. Her offer was mocked by the

:08:24. > :08:26.Labour leader. The government is apparently now asking other parties

:08:27. > :08:30.for their policy ideas and so if the Prime Minister would like it, I'm

:08:31. > :08:35.very happy to furniture with a copy of our election manifesto. A

:08:36. > :08:40.difficult afternoon got worse. Annemarie Morris is duly elected...

:08:41. > :08:43.While she was on her beat, a recording emerged of Tory MP

:08:44. > :08:44.Annemarie Morris talking at a private event about Brexit, using

:08:45. > :08:58.offensive language. She said the phrase was

:08:59. > :09:02.unintentional and has apologised unreservedly if offence was caused.

:09:03. > :09:07.The comments emerging on the day the Prime Minister called for an end to

:09:08. > :09:11.abuse and MPs were quick to seize on it. She agree that where that where

:09:12. > :09:16.that happens, organisations should take decisive and swift action?

:09:17. > :09:20.Offensive behaviour by backbenchers is one thing. Asking the opposition

:09:21. > :09:23.for help with another. But with no majority to call her own, the Prime

:09:24. > :09:30.Minister can barely afford for anything to go wrong. With her

:09:31. > :09:36.authority cracked, there are no easy days for this Prime Minister. And in

:09:37. > :09:41.the last 15 minutes, Theresa May has now suspended that MP, Annemarie

:09:42. > :09:45.Morris, condemning her remarks. What is not clear is for how long she is

:09:46. > :09:49.going to be out of the Tory party. While there may be calls for her to

:09:50. > :09:52.quit altogether, to stand down, in this the bra political atmosphere at

:09:53. > :09:59.the moment, the Conservatives would be very nervous of any by-election.

:10:00. > :10:02.By suspending have some time, though, it means Theresa May's

:10:03. > :10:05.narrow current advantage in the Commons has slipped by one and this

:10:06. > :10:07.is an era where every vote will matter. Laura, thank you.

:10:08. > :10:10.The Metropolitan Police now say they believe around 255 people

:10:11. > :10:12.managed to escape the fire at Grenfell Tower last month.

:10:13. > :10:14.The official estimate of the dead and missing remains

:10:15. > :10:20.Our home affairs correspondent Tom Symonds is at Scotland Yard.

:10:21. > :10:22.The first time we've had such a figure.

:10:23. > :10:30.There's been a lot of dispute about how many were there that night.

:10:31. > :10:36.There has. I mean, here is the context. On the night of the fire or

:10:37. > :10:41.just afterwards, it was acclaimed about 500-600 people were living at

:10:42. > :10:44.Grenfell Tower. The police today have said they think it is nearer

:10:45. > :10:49.350 and some of them were not in on the night. Their figure for the

:10:50. > :10:54.number who escaped injury or escape from the fire with their lives is

:10:55. > :10:58.about 255. Crucially, the number of dead and missing remains at about

:10:59. > :11:03.80, which is going to be controversial. Some people just

:11:04. > :11:05.don't believe the figure. But the police investigation continues,

:11:06. > :11:11.sifting through every bit of debris inside a tower where the temperature

:11:12. > :11:14.reached 1000 degrees and also investigating 60 or so companies

:11:15. > :11:19.involved in the maintenance and refurbishment of Grenfell Tower.

:11:20. > :11:23.Stuart Cundy, the Metropolitan Police commander, said, "You can't

:11:24. > :11:27.listen to the families and the 999 calls and not want to hold people to

:11:28. > :11:30.account for a fire that should not have happened". Thank U.

:11:31. > :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. > :11:37.It follows a case brought by a pressure group,

:11:38. > :11:41.It argued that the UK had broken international humanitarian law

:11:42. > :11:48.by selling weapons that had been used to kill civilians in Yemen,

:11:49. > :11:52.where the Saudis have conducted air strikes against rebels.

:11:53. > :11:56.President Trump says he did not know that during his presidential

:11:57. > :11:59.campaign last year, his eldest son and his son-in-law met a Russian

:12:00. > :12:02.lawyer who claimed to have damaging information about his rival,

:12:03. > :12:08.Donald Trump Jr insists "no meaningful information" was provided

:12:09. > :12:16.Our chief correspondent Gavin Hewitt reports from Washington.

:12:17. > :12:25.This is Donald Trump's eldest son. I am Donald Trump Jr. Last June, after

:12:26. > :12:29.the Republican convention, he met with a Russian lawyer who promised

:12:30. > :12:33.damaging material on Hillary Clinton's campaign. The meeting was

:12:34. > :12:37.here at Trump Tower in New York. Until this weekend, Donald Trump Jr

:12:38. > :12:41.had not mentioned it but it was not a casual encounter, he brought along

:12:42. > :12:46.Tromp's campaign manager and his son-in-law and then his story has

:12:47. > :12:48.changed. On Saturday, he said they primarily discussed a programme

:12:49. > :12:54.about the adoption of Russian children. By the following day, he

:12:55. > :12:57.said, "The woman lawyer stated she had information that individuals

:12:58. > :13:02.connected to Russia were funding the Democratic National committee and

:13:03. > :13:05.supporting Mrs Clinton". He was told there would be information that may

:13:06. > :13:09.be helpful to the campaign. There was no such information but again, I

:13:10. > :13:12.want to ask your question, if we're going to keep using the word

:13:13. > :13:17.pollution, where is the evidence of collusion. On Friday, President

:13:18. > :13:20.Trump met President Putin and asked him directly about meddling in the

:13:21. > :13:24.American election campaign. President Putin denied it denied it.

:13:25. > :13:26.It is not clear how forcefully President Trump pursued this but

:13:27. > :13:32.there was an agreement between the two leaders that it was now time to

:13:33. > :13:35.move forward. News of Trump Jr's Russian meeting does not put

:13:36. > :13:39.President Trump in immediate jeopardy. He says he has no

:13:40. > :13:42.knowledge of it. What it does do is keep open the central question that

:13:43. > :13:46.has dogged the administration. Was there collusion between the Trump

:13:47. > :13:53.campaign team and the Russians? It promises months of further

:13:54. > :13:56.investigations. Trump Jr called the latest revelation is a big yawn but

:13:57. > :14:01.it is the first public indication that some in the Trump campaign were

:14:02. > :14:04.willing potentially to accept Russian help. For the president, it

:14:05. > :14:06.is a reminder that not everything goes his way. Gavin Hewitt, BBC

:14:07. > :14:08.News, Washington. The legal battle to keep

:14:09. > :14:13.the terminally-ill baby Charlie Gard alive continues,

:14:14. > :14:26.as his case returns A pay gap on teachers will stay but

:14:27. > :14:30.there are warnings that is putting off new recruits.

:14:31. > :14:34.Coming up on BBC News, the latest on a big day for Andy Murray and

:14:35. > :14:44.Johanna Konta, at 6:30pm. The Birmingham pub

:14:45. > :14:47.bombings in 1974 - it was one the worst IRA attacks

:14:48. > :14:50.in England during the many 21 people were killed

:14:51. > :14:55.and almost 200 were injured. Now, decades later -

:14:56. > :14:59.a self-confessed IRA bomb maker has finally admitted that he was part

:15:00. > :15:01.of the group responsible In an exclusive interview

:15:02. > :15:07.with the BBC, he has apologised to the families of those

:15:08. > :15:10.who were killed. But he has refused to say

:15:11. > :15:13.exactly what role he played Today, a relative of one

:15:14. > :15:21.of the victims called him a coward. Here's our Ireland

:15:22. > :15:24.correspondent Chris Buckler. The bombs were left in the heart

:15:25. > :15:30.of Birmingham on a Thursday night. Placed inside pubs

:15:31. > :15:33.to cause destruction. In the same year - 1974 -

:15:34. > :15:42.Mick Hayes took part in this funeral He was a well-known Republican,

:15:43. > :15:53.an admitted IRA bomb-maker who was convicted of paramilitary

:15:54. > :15:58.offences in the Republic of Ireland. And now, four decades

:15:59. > :16:01.after the murders in Birmingham, Mick Hayes has emerged again

:16:02. > :16:04.to admit he was part of the group Was a participant in the IRA's

:16:05. > :16:09.activities in Birmingham - I was a participant in the IRA's

:16:10. > :16:17.campaign in England. But you're not answering

:16:18. > :16:19.the question - did I'm giving you the only

:16:20. > :16:23.answer I can give you. Mick Hayes has in the past been

:16:24. > :16:27.questioned and named as a suspect in the bombings,

:16:28. > :16:31.but he's never been charged. Even now, he won't say what role

:16:32. > :16:34.he played in the IRA attack, but he says he takes "collective

:16:35. > :16:37.responsibility" for it. And I apologise,

:16:38. > :16:44.not only for myself. I apologise for all Republicans,

:16:45. > :16:48.who had no intention of hurting And the relatives, again,

:16:49. > :16:55.the relatives will say that you have I know they'll say that,

:16:56. > :17:02.and from their point of view, I don't shirk my responsibility

:17:03. > :17:09.in that direction. A group of men were charged

:17:10. > :17:13.and found guilty of the bombing, but it was a famous

:17:14. > :17:17.miscarriage of justice. And the convictions

:17:18. > :17:19.of the men who became known as the Birmingham Six

:17:20. > :17:33.were eventually overturned. For 16.5 years, we have been used

:17:34. > :17:36.as political scapegoats! Today, the families of those

:17:37. > :17:39.murdered in the pub bombings watched Mick Hayes' apology,

:17:40. > :17:40.and were angered by it. He reckons that he'd rather die

:17:41. > :17:44.than be an informer. But he's more than happy to take

:17:45. > :17:47."collective responsibility" for the murder of 21

:17:48. > :17:50.innocents in Birmingham. Mick Hayes avoided many questions,

:17:51. > :17:55.but he claims mistakes led the IRA to give bomb warnings too late,

:17:56. > :17:59.and that he personally defused a third bomb left in Birmingham

:18:00. > :18:03.city centre that night. When they found out what had

:18:04. > :18:24.happened, we defused the third one. In the Hagley Road.

:18:25. > :18:27.Who defused it? Many in modern-day Birmingham

:18:28. > :18:32.will question why Mick Hayes has come forward now,

:18:33. > :18:34.particularly as no-one has ever been held legally responsible

:18:35. > :18:37.for murdering the 21 people who died The independent pay review

:18:38. > :18:54.of teachers has recommended how teachers pay should be divided,

:18:55. > :19:10.within the Government's 1% further, or are the days of 1% pay

:19:11. > :19:14.rises numbered? Schools are beginning to feel the impact took -

:19:15. > :19:17.not enough people training as teachers, others leaving after just

:19:18. > :19:25.a few years. Can schools afford to give them any more? The people

:19:26. > :19:29.coming out of university, they looked at the Hay of various

:19:30. > :19:34.different jobs, and it is producing our ability to recruit. The review

:19:35. > :19:39.body said last year that if there is not a pay rise of more than 1%, and

:19:40. > :19:42.I think they meant quite a bit more than that, then there will be a

:19:43. > :19:47.problem in teacher recruitment. Teachers pay in England has been

:19:48. > :19:54.held down. First, a two-year pay freeze meant no increase in 2011 and

:19:55. > :19:58.2012. Then, a 1% average paid cap rise has been in place, just like

:19:59. > :20:04.the rest of the public sector. It would cost around ?1.6 billion for

:20:05. > :20:10.schools in England to increase pay in line with inflation. Teachers'

:20:11. > :20:16.pay isn't what parents talk about in the playground, but school budgets

:20:17. > :20:19.are, and the two are connected, because page, national insurance and

:20:20. > :20:22.pensions all come out of what schools have to spend. And it is the

:20:23. > :20:28.concern around the budget pressures on schools which can shift the

:20:29. > :20:35.political compass in the debate about public sector spending.

:20:36. > :20:41.Ministers have been singing very different tunes on public pay. But

:20:42. > :20:45.the Education Secretary has not called for the pay cap to be lifted.

:20:46. > :20:50.Justine Greening is facing bigger pressures on school budgets. Rising

:20:51. > :20:54.costs already mean real terms cuts per-pupil. So today, no promise of

:20:55. > :20:59.more money for teachers but a warning this can't go on forever.

:21:00. > :21:02.The Government made it very clear to all the pay review bodies that they

:21:03. > :21:07.should be looking at limiting increases overall to 1%, within the

:21:08. > :21:12.Government's paid targets and spending targets. Politics may have

:21:13. > :21:15.changed more recently, but the work of this review body will have

:21:16. > :21:20.happened over the last several months, and they're still working

:21:21. > :21:24.within the instructions which were even to them a year ago. Schools

:21:25. > :21:29.face growing pressures on their budgets, they'd need enough

:21:30. > :21:35.teachers, too. It is a problem today's report warns won't go away.

:21:36. > :21:41.For the first time in 44 years, a British man and a British woman are

:21:42. > :21:45.both through to the last eight at Wimbledon. Andy Murray and Johanna

:21:46. > :21:49.Konta will play in the quarterfinals. Joe Wilson is there

:21:50. > :21:54.for us. Yes, two British champions, it is still on! The second week of

:21:55. > :21:58.Wimbledon, in some ways you're relieved just to still be going,

:21:59. > :22:01.like the Grand National, but then your mind turns towards the

:22:02. > :22:06.finishing line, and today is a special day. Monday morning, keep

:22:07. > :22:11.moving, if you want to see everything. The umbrella? Your

:22:12. > :22:16.choice. What unites everyone here is what Wimbledon calls the pursuit of

:22:17. > :22:23.greatness. It has been expect it of him, motivates her and still entices

:22:24. > :22:26.him. Johanna Konta was up against Caroline Garcia in a match of small

:22:27. > :22:34.margins. The first set was tight. The tie-break was tight. Johanna

:22:35. > :22:43.Konta won it. Back came Darcey to win the second set. Garcia had

:22:44. > :22:50.served brilliantly, but this was match point, this was Wimbledon and

:22:51. > :22:55.this was a critical mistake. Give Johanna Konta an occasion, she will

:22:56. > :22:58.rise to it. It is those situations that I dreamt of when I was a little

:22:59. > :23:02.girl, and to be part of those battles on big stages, that's really

:23:03. > :23:07.what it's about to be a professional athlete. Now, the first British

:23:08. > :23:13.woman into a quarterfinal at Wimbledon since 1984 and Jo Durie -

:23:14. > :23:17.what does that mean to you? That's pretty special. When Andy Murray is

:23:18. > :23:22.doing his own running commentary, there is concern. But he got through

:23:23. > :23:27.it today. He was up against Benoit Paire, number 46 in the world. At

:23:28. > :23:36.Wimbledon, Murray has never lost to a player ranked so low. Murray was

:23:37. > :23:40.getting there. Tie-break in the first, 6-4 in the second. In the

:23:41. > :23:47.third set, Murray got heated with the umpire over a challenge. Centre

:23:48. > :23:52.Court sympathised. A challenge to immediately! No matter, Murray said

:23:53. > :23:54.it was the best he had hit the ball so far in the tournament, and

:23:55. > :24:02.ultimately, Benoit Paire couldn't match it. Two British players

:24:03. > :24:06.through today, two French players made way. Meanwhile, close by,

:24:07. > :24:11.Rafael Nadal walked on to No. 1 Court, limbering up - without

:24:12. > :24:20.Headroom! Ouch! He soon found himself two sets down against Gilles

:24:21. > :24:24.Muller, of Luxembourg. Nadal has made a comeback, and they are into

:24:25. > :24:29.the fifth set. Meanwhile, Roger Federer is two sets up on Centre

:24:30. > :24:31.Court. For Johanna Konta and Andy Murray, for a day at least, the hard

:24:32. > :24:39.work is done. Thomas Gainsborough was one

:24:40. > :24:41.of the most famous portrait and landscape painters

:24:42. > :24:43.of the 18th century - but despite his fame,

:24:44. > :24:45.25 of his sketches have for decades been wrongly

:24:46. > :24:47.attributed to another artist. The pictures, which he drew

:24:48. > :24:50.as a young man, have been discovered in the Royal Collection at Windsor

:24:51. > :24:52.Castle. Our arts correspondent

:24:53. > :24:53.Rebecca Jones reports. Gainsborough's most famous portrait,

:24:54. > :24:57.The Blue Boy, painted in 1770. He was the most important British

:24:58. > :25:01.artist of the second half of the 18th century,

:25:02. > :25:03.yet few of his early drawings They've lain undiscovered in this

:25:04. > :25:12.album, here in the Print Room at Windsor Castle, since the reign

:25:13. > :25:18.of Queen Victoria. She wanted some drawings

:25:19. > :25:19.by Landseer, and this but little did she know

:25:20. > :25:23.that the drawings inside are actually by a different

:25:24. > :25:25.artist altogether. It was only when the historian

:25:26. > :25:27.Lindsay Stainton was sent a box of photos of the drawings

:25:28. > :25:31.that the mistake came to light. I was looking at boxes

:25:32. > :25:34.and boxes of photographs and I thought, "Oh, I'll just

:25:35. > :25:38.have a look through these". and I thought, "Oh, I'll just

:25:39. > :25:42.have a look through these." And I just jumped up from my chair

:25:43. > :25:46.and said to myself, "Good God, that's a study for Cornard Wood

:25:47. > :25:50.and all of these are early And this sketch of Cornard Wood

:25:51. > :25:55.near Sudbury in Suffolk would appear to be the compelling evidence that

:25:56. > :25:58.proves the drawings When it is laid over the finished

:25:59. > :26:06.picture, it matches exactly. This was his preparatory study,

:26:07. > :26:09.and it's as if we're present in the studio with him,

:26:10. > :26:12.which is a rather wonderful thought. But the discoveries

:26:13. > :26:13.didn't end there. A drawing of the head of a young

:26:14. > :26:17.woman was found on the back It could even be

:26:18. > :26:21.Gainsborough's future wife. All the pictures can

:26:22. > :26:38.now be viewed online Time for a look at the weather. And

:26:39. > :26:45.there is some change ahead, is that right? Changeable is the word we

:26:46. > :26:51.could use, yes. A mixed week as we head through the next few days. One

:26:52. > :26:57.thing we will all feel is a cooler and fresher feel to the weather,

:26:58. > :27:01.compared to what we have had of late. This was the scene, a

:27:02. > :27:06.beautiful landscape at Lerwick in Shetland. It was a different story,

:27:07. > :27:12.though, this afternoon in East Anglia, storm clouds gathering in

:27:13. > :27:15.Felixstowe. On the radar picture, you can see some showers scattered

:27:16. > :27:19.across the country, particularly heavy ones breaking out across East

:27:20. > :27:27.Anglia this afternoon. Some of those will continue into the evening. They

:27:28. > :27:33.will tend to ease, and things will be clouding over from the west.

:27:34. > :27:36.There will be some rain, particularly across western areas.

:27:37. > :27:41.It will be feeling cooler tonight than it has been of late. Tomorrow,

:27:42. > :27:45.this low pressure wobbling in from the west. A bit of uncertainty still

:27:46. > :27:56.about which track it will take. But it's southern areas which will get

:27:57. > :27:59.the wettest weather. A bit of uncertainty about how much rain will

:28:00. > :28:03.get into the likes of north Wales, the north Midlands and northern

:28:04. > :28:06.England. For Scotland and Northern Ireland, it is another day of

:28:07. > :28:12.sunshine and showers. Temperature is, way down on where they were,

:28:13. > :28:15.particularly in the south-east. There is a chance of seeing some

:28:16. > :28:24.rain on and off at Wimbledon tomorrow, which could interrupt

:28:25. > :28:30.play. Wednesday, the low will clear away, that means some drier and fine

:28:31. > :28:39.weather, still feeling cooler. For the end of the week, mainly dry with

:28:40. > :28:40.some rain at times. That is all from the BBC News at
