Tonight at Six - Hurricane Irma leaves a trail | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
The eastern Caribbean islands were first in line for a battering - | :00:08. | :00:15. | |
Reduced to rubble - nine out of ten buildings | :00:16. | :00:21. | |
We had cars flying over our heads, we had 40 foot containers | :00:22. | :00:28. | |
And all we had to do was pray and call for help. | :00:29. | :00:39. | |

Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six. | :01:12. | :01:40. | |
Hurricane Irma - one of the strongest ever recorded | :01:41. | :01:42. | |
in the Atlantic Ocean - has destroyed almost everything | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
in its path as it sweeps across the eastern Caribbean. | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
At least nine people are known to have been killed, | :01:50. | :01:51. | |
The islands of Barbuda and St Martin were first to feel the full force | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
Then came Puerto Rico and now it's heading northwest | :01:57. | :02:03. | |
With phone lines down, roads destroyed by flooding | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
and airports damaged, it's been difficult to get | :02:10. | :02:10. | |
Our correspondent, Laura Bicker, reports from Puerto Rico. | :02:11. | :02:22. | |
Hurricane Irma, as storm the size of France, has carved a destructive | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
path through the Caribbean. In Puerto Rico, three people were | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
killed as winds battered the island. As daylight came and career began, | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
most felt lucky to have survived such a storm. Go! Don't come here | :02:38. | :02:47. | |
any more. This man told me he felt blessed to be alive and the only | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
damage was downed power lines and fallen trees in the street. They | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
have kept their age or say. There is a collective sigh of relief in | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
Puerto Rico. There is work to be done, up to 30 foot waves threw up | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
debris and downed trees but when it comes to that catastrophic eye of | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
the hurricane, that only skirted the island, unlike others in the | :03:10. | :03:17. | |
Caribbean. On the tiny island of Barbuda, barely a building was left | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
untouched. Thousands of families find themselves homeless. The house, | :03:23. | :03:31. | |
I lose my home, I lose my shop. Everything is damaged. And right | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
now, I have nowhere to go more sleep. We had cars flying over our | :03:37. | :03:43. | |
heads, 40 foot containers flying left and right. And the story that | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
you are getting from most of the residents is that the eye of the | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
storm came just in time. Persons were literally tying themselves to | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
their roots with ropes to keep them down. The Prime Minister said the | :03:59. | :04:05. | |
island was barely habitable. What I saw was heart-wrenching. Absolutely | :04:06. | :04:13. | |
devastating. In neighbouring Saint Maarten, the full force of the eye | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
of the hurricane was caught on camera. Winds of 185 mph the island. | :04:17. | :04:28. | |
But than 70,000 people live in this area, which is made of Dutch and | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
French territories. Shipping containers were tossed around like | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
Lego bricks. Moored boats were smashed in the harbour and there are | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
warnings that the death toll is likely to rise. France has sent | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
three emergency teams to help with the corrupt and has already set up a | :04:45. | :04:52. | |
reconstruction fund. In the British territory of Anguilla, UK response | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
was criticised as pathetic and disgraceful. The only hospital has | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
been badly damaged and residents say they need food, water and shelter. A | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
British task force is on its way there, including Royal Marines and | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
army engineers. Efforts are under way to get supplies to the island of | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
Saint Barts. The French government says the priority is making sure | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
people have food and drinking water. The British Virgin Islands is the | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
latest place to be pummelled. It is a tropical paradise transformed. | :05:24. | :05:33. | |
Hurricane Irma is not finished. She has maintained her wind speeds and | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
is barrelling towards another British territory- the low-lying | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
Turks and Caicos Islands. The US sunshine state of Florida will be | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
next in her sights. They are nervous after watching others injure her | :05:46. | :05:53. | |
rat. In a moment we will speak to Will Grant in Havana. First, the | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
latest from Laura Bicker who is in Portugal. There is so much damage, | :05:58. | :06:04. | |
places cut off, are you getting a sense of the scale of this disaster? | :06:05. | :06:10. | |
There is no doubt that Hurricane Irma is a terrifying force of nature | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
and we did not feel the full force of the winter ski in Puerto Rico but | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
even then, at times it felt and sounded like a jet engine was going | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
off back outside and one resident in Anguilla put it best, she said it | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
felt like a nuclear bomb had gone off. When it comes to the damage in | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
Puerto Rico and elsewhere are clear at this beginning but the problem | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
with the hurricane like this is that it makes them fearful about what | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
might come and there is another one in her wake, Hurricane Jose is | :06:44. | :06:51. | |
already on his way. Well in Havana, they have seen what Hurricane Irma | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
can do, what preparations are happening? Yes, if the Cubans were | :06:55. | :07:02. | |
not aware of the sheer destruction and power of this storm, having seen | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
everything that has happened in the region, they are acutely aware right | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
now and people are doing what they can to stock up on clean water, to | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
get fuel for generators, to board up homes and the government has put | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
into effect evacuation orders on the eastern end of the island, trying to | :07:22. | :07:27. | |
move communities into safer ground. They have closed schools already and | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
of course there are tourists, a lot of tourists in the lower lying | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
regions, coastal regions. That is one of the resorts are so there is | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
an international effort involving travel agencies, international | :07:42. | :07:43. | |
embassies and the Cuban government to try to get those people perhaps | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
here to the capital in Havana. Thank you both. | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
Hurricane Irma is now the longest lasting Category 5 | :07:52. | :07:53. | |
super-storm ever recorded, surpassing the record | :07:54. | :07:54. | |
set by Typhoon Haiyan, which hit the Philippines in 2013. | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
So why has it gathered so much energy? | :08:00. | :08:01. | |
And are these types of storm becoming more frequent? | :08:02. | :08:03. | |
Our science editor, David Shukman, explains. | :08:04. | :08:10. | |
And menacing swirl of clouds stretching over the Caribbean. This | :08:11. | :08:19. | |
view from space of Hurricane Irma shows its extraordinary scale. If it | :08:20. | :08:21. | |
was over Britain it would cover most of the country. Our brave flight | :08:22. | :08:29. | |
crew enter is right inside. And facing them with a staggeringly | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
large walls of the inside of the eye. This hurricane has set a new | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
record for having dangerously fast winds for the longest time. On the | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
ground, the effect is shattering. This part of the world knows all | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
about Hurricane Sue and an early warning has definitely saved lives, | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
but this one is stronger than most. How do hurricanes become so | :08:52. | :08:57. | |
destructive? The strongest form of back the coast of West Africa, warm | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
waters caused the error to rise, triggering thunderstorms and that is | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
when the winds can circulate and as this weather system crosses the | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
Atlantic it grows and becomes stronger. If the winds are moving in | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
the same direction at all levels, as with Irma, they reached devastating | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
speeds. Closer to the Caribbean, the hurricane gets another boast as it | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
passes over yet more warm water. And ocean temperatures are unusually how | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
this year, making the winds even more aggressive. On top of this, the | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
low pressure inside the hurricane creates a storm surge, a huge wave | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
that strikes the coast. As climate change is changing the level of the | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
sea, the impact is all the greater. As the people of the Caribbean try | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
to cope with the terrible aftermath, many are asking if there will be | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
even more scenes like this as the world gets warmer. Scientists say | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
they do not know if Hurricane Sue will become more frequent but they | :09:57. | :09:58. | |
do think they will become more violent. One of the things we know | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
about climate change is a warmer atmosphere can hold more water. That | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
means when a hurricane hits, more rain can come out of it and cause | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
more flooding and that is one thing we definitely know and another thing | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
is the warmer oceans feed the hurricanes, they are the energy | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
source so I warmer ocean will lead to stronger hurricanes. This comes | :10:22. | :10:28. | |
as the people of Texas are still recovering from Hurricane Harvey | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
last month. There are plenty of quiet years but this one is shaping | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
up to be one of the most violent on record. This sequence shows how | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
right behind Irma there is another distinctive swirl of clouds- | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
Hurricane Jose. The research patrols have been kept busier than ever | :10:46. | :10:47. | |
before. David Shukman, BBC News. Today marks another milestone | :10:48. | :10:50. | |
in Britain's Brexit journey. MPs have started debating a bill | :10:51. | :10:52. | |
that will repeal the 1972 Act of Parliament that took Britain | :10:53. | :10:55. | |
into the European Union. The bill will also convert all EU | :10:56. | :10:58. | |
legislation into UK law. Finally - and this is controversial | :10:59. | :11:01. | |
- it includes new powers for ministers to alter laws | :11:02. | :11:04. | |
without full Parliamentary scrutiny. Labour has already said it | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
will not support the Bill. Our political editor, | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
Laura Kuenssberg, From Brussels to Westminster, laws | :11:14. | :11:26. | |
have landed here from the continent for 44 years. Today's government | :11:27. | :11:33. | |
bill will use 66 pages to try to transfer all of it. With 28 clauses, | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
the Withdrawal Bill, it cuts and pastes the European real on two | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
hours but if the government riles just six rebels, they would face | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
defeat. Villagers say it is nothing to worry about, just a paper | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
exercise. Opponents fear on these harmless looking pages there is a | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
power grab on a huge scale. European Union Withdrawal Bill, second | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
reading. But sadly, this bill is an essential step. Whilst it does not | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
take us out of the European Union, that is for Article 50, it does | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
ensure that on the day we leave, businesses know where they stand, | :12:12. | :12:17. | |
workers' rights are upheld and consumers remain protected. This | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
bill is vital to ensure that as we leave, we do so in an orderly | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
manner. But there is so much to sort out that affects all of our lives, | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
the government says there is no time for MPs to take over every detail so | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
ministers will be able to make tweaks here and there. That gives | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
them the same power as medieval monarchs, says Labour. The combined | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
effect of the provisions of this bill would reduce MPs to spectators | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
as power poured into the hands of ministers and the Executive. It is | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
an unprecedented power grab, rule by decree is an affront to Parliament | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
and accountability. Though the arguments are plenty, in the Commons | :12:59. | :13:01. | |
and in the Lords, and esters privately concede they will have to | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
give some ground but they also know that it is far from the only scrap | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
they face either at home or abroad. If talks about the overall Brexit | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
deal are going well, the official negotiator in Brussels did a good | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
job of hiding it this morning. Complaining about the British | :13:21. | :13:22. | |
unwillingness to talk about the cash. TRANSLATION: I have been very | :13:23. | :13:30. | |
disappointed in the British position, there is a problem of | :13:31. | :13:36. | |
confidence, accusing the UK of backtracking. Closer to home, a | :13:37. | :13:39. | |
letter doing the rounds among Tory MPs has been linked to the BBC. | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
Dozens of Brexit supporters demanding the Prime Minister sticks | :13:45. | :13:50. | |
to a crisp exit and not a longer, softer transition. Warning ministers | :13:51. | :13:52. | |
they must not allow the country to be kept in the EU by stealth. It was | :13:53. | :13:59. | |
circulated, if not signed, by a junior member of the government. Let | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
us take very explicitly that we are in favour of leaving the single | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
market and the Customs Union. He want to take back control of our | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
laws. We want a strictly time-limited transition period, we | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
want to be able to strike free trade agreements with the rest of the | :14:17. | :14:19. | |
world. All of that is consistent with government policy. Remain Tory | :14:20. | :14:26. | |
MPs don't buy that, during Conservative divisions could burst | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
again. In the Tory Party, in Parliament and in the power struggle | :14:32. | :14:37. | |
but the EU... No Brexit! Not much chance of keeping the peace. Laura | :14:38. | :14:40. | |
Kuenssberg, BBC News, Westminster. While MPs have been debating here, | :14:41. | :14:42. | |
the EU's chief negotiator, Michel Barnier, has been | :14:43. | :14:44. | |
speaking in Brussels. Our correspondent, | :14:45. | :14:46. | |
Damian Grammaticas, We have also heard about some | :14:47. | :15:00. | |
personal remarks being made about David Davis? Yes, you're right. This | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
is internal minutes, official documents from the EU published | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
today of official conversations between Michel Barnier, the chief | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
negotiator, and Jean-Claude Juncker, the president of the commission. | :15:15. | :15:17. | |
This is in July after the opening round of negotiations when they are | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
discussing David Davis. Both of them questioning his approach to the | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
talks, particularly the idea that he would come for an opening session, | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
return to London, let the negotiators get on with things, come | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
back for a closing session at the end of the week. Michel Barnier he | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
needed someone high level to resolve political questions with. Today they | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
simply said they had no problems. Michel Barnier did say he had big | :15:46. | :15:50. | |
issues with the substance at the minute, so on Ireland the questions | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
about the border - he said the UK had to put forward proposals on how | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
to sort that out. The onus is on the UK, and on money he said there was a | :16:00. | :16:05. | |
legal basis for every euro the EU is asking for, that David Cameron had | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
approved the EU budget, and that all of that he said had to be honoured | :16:11. | :16:15. | |
because the current UK approach to question legality was extremely | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
negative for the outcome of these talks. Back to you. Thank you very | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
much. Hurricane Irma leaves a trail | :16:24. | :16:24. | |
of devastation in its wake - at least nine people are known | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
to have died in the Caribbean. England take charge of the deciding | :16:30. | :16:31. | |
Test against the West Indies. Coming up on Sportsday on BBC News, | :16:32. | :16:37. | |
Ben Stokes takes six Jimmy Anderson still | :16:38. | :16:43. | |
needs one for 500. All of the details in | :16:44. | :16:46. | |
Sportsday at 6:30pm. If you go by the headlines, we | :16:47. | :17:00. | |
should all be worried about crime. But do we really understand how | :17:01. | :17:04. | |
likely we are to be victims? The BBC has launched | :17:05. | :17:06. | |
this new tool online - You put in some details | :17:07. | :17:09. | |
about your gender, age, and where you live, and it'll show | :17:10. | :17:15. | |
you how likely you are to It's been launched in | :17:16. | :17:18. | |
conjunction with the Office for National Statistics, | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
whose figures suggest that there is a gap between how | :17:24. | :17:25. | |
we perceive the risk of crime, Our Home Affairs Correspondent | :17:26. | :17:28. | |
Dominic Casciani reports. We watch it on TV, it's | :17:29. | :17:34. | |
in the papers, and we talk Surveys show many of us fear that | :17:35. | :17:40. | |
crime is growing nationwide. The BBC's crime calculator gives | :17:41. | :17:45. | |
you a more accurate idea So here in Reading, were people's | :17:46. | :17:48. | |
perceptions on target? Friends Omar and Victor | :17:49. | :17:58. | |
are soon off to university, and they have both been | :17:59. | :18:00. | |
victims of crime. My friend here, Victor, | :18:01. | :18:07. | |
he had his bike stolen from this But you personally, you never had | :18:08. | :18:09. | |
anything specific like a bike stolen I got my mobile nicked | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
here as well, actually. So how does Omar compare | :18:14. | :18:17. | |
to the national average? A higher risk of being | :18:18. | :18:19. | |
a victim of robbery, I didn't expect that, actually, | :18:20. | :18:21. | |
for that to come out if I'm Statistics show that young men | :18:22. | :18:28. | |
are more at risk of crime. But as you get older, | :18:29. | :18:37. | |
you actually become safer. Yeah, that is quite surprising, | :18:38. | :18:40. | |
because you might expect older people to be more vulnerable | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
to certain types of crime. The truth is, that as we get older, | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
we live gentler and safer lives. We learn how to protect | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
ourselves from crime. June, from the bowls club, | :18:53. | :18:58. | |
has been a victim of online fraud. So how likely is she to be a victim | :18:59. | :19:00. | |
of face-to-face crime? The calculator shows that people | :19:01. | :19:04. | |
like her have a low risk. It's absolutely brilliant, | :19:05. | :19:10. | |
I can rest in my bed Most of us get on with our daily | :19:11. | :19:12. | |
lives without being too concerned about crime in our neighbourhoods, | :19:13. | :19:19. | |
but official figures show that there is a real perception | :19:20. | :19:21. | |
gap between the sexes. Men are the most likely victims, | :19:22. | :19:26. | |
yet they worry the least. Women worry more, even though | :19:27. | :19:30. | |
they are often safer Official surveys show that our fear | :19:31. | :19:32. | |
of crime is influenced by the media, and what we see in the wider | :19:33. | :19:38. | |
world around us. We cannot know for sure whether it | :19:39. | :19:41. | |
will happen to us because many victims and offences simply are not | :19:42. | :19:44. | |
included in the figures. But most experts still say that we | :19:45. | :19:47. | |
are safer than we used to be. A brief look at some of the day's | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
other news stories... The United Nations says that nearly | :19:52. | :19:58. | |
a quarter of a million Muslim Rohingyas have | :19:59. | :20:01. | |
fled their homes in Myanmar for Two thirds of those have escaped | :20:02. | :20:03. | |
in the last two weeks after attacks by Rohingya militants led | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
to army reprisals. One in five people who are gay, | :20:09. | :20:13. | |
lesbian or bisexual have experienced hate crime in the last year, | :20:14. | :20:16. | |
according to new figures, but the vast majority don't | :20:17. | :20:18. | |
report it to the police. The charity Stonewall says three out | :20:19. | :20:21. | |
of five gay men don't feel comfortable holding their partner's | :20:22. | :20:24. | |
hand in the street. Premier League clubs have voted | :20:25. | :20:29. | |
to close the summer transfer window earlier from the start | :20:30. | :20:31. | |
of next season. The new deadline will be 5pm | :20:32. | :20:34. | |
on the Thursday before the start Universities in England could face | :20:35. | :20:37. | |
fines if they fail to justify paying their vice-chancellors more | :20:38. | :20:43. | |
than the Prime Minister's salary A new regulator for students | :20:44. | :20:45. | |
will also force universities to publish details of all senior | :20:46. | :20:52. | |

Branwen Jeffreys is here. Why has this row blown up now? Term | :20:59. | :21:12. | |
is about to start with people packing their bags for university | :21:13. | :21:15. | |
and this year students in England will be facing tuition fees of | :21:16. | :21:22. | |
?9,250. All of that money goes straight to universities so today | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
the Minister Joe Johnson was saying to vice chancellors, you have got to | :21:27. | :21:29. | |
justify what you do with that and that includes your own salaries. On | :21:30. | :21:36. | |
average 250,000 but some up to ?400,000 a year. The promised too | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
that the regulator will look at whether they are handing out too | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
many top degrees. Why now? One reason possibly the Government has | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
to make a tough decision in the next week or so, to decide whether to let | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
fees go up with inflation again next year when they reach ?9,500. Thank | :21:54. | :21:56. | |
you. Prince George had his first | :21:57. | :21:58. | |
day at school today. The four-year-old is | :21:59. | :22:00. | |
attending Thomas's School in Battersea, South London, | :22:01. | :22:01. | |
where he'll be known to his He was dropped off by Prince William | :22:02. | :22:04. | |
but the Duchess of Cambridge missed the occasion, as she's | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
suffering from severe morning It is a daunting day | :22:09. | :22:11. | |
for any four-year-old, no matter who you are, | :22:12. | :22:21. | |
and George arrived looking, well, understandably a little nervous | :22:22. | :22:23. | |
for his first day at the new school in south London his parents | :22:24. | :22:26. | |
have chosen for him. Dad was there to take his hand and | :22:27. | :22:29. | |
carry his schoolbag, but not Mum. She had to remain at | :22:30. | :22:32. | |
Kensington Palace, suffering Each day at Thomas's School | :22:33. | :22:34. | |
in Battersea starts with a handshake George knew what was required, | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
as did his father. And then it was time for those shiny | :22:39. | :22:44. | |
new school shoes to head for the classroom, to find the peg | :22:45. | :22:47. | |
for George Cambridge and to meet the 20 other four-year-olds - | :22:48. | :22:50. | |
boys and girls - who will be For William, it may have prompted | :22:51. | :22:53. | |
memories of the day 30 years ago when he was taken by his mother | :22:54. | :23:02. | |
for his first day at school. Back then, it was all | :23:03. | :23:05. | |
rather more formal. A boys-only school complete | :23:06. | :23:08. | |
with a school cap. School caps and formality were much | :23:09. | :23:14. | |
in evidence in 1957, when the Queen took Prince Charles for his first | :23:15. | :23:18. | |
day at his prep school. Charles was in fact | :23:19. | :23:24. | |
the first heir to the throne to go to school rather | :23:25. | :23:27. | |
than to be tutored privately. Fast forward 30 years and George's | :23:28. | :23:34. | |
school offers a broad curriculum with a strong emphasis on sport | :23:35. | :23:37. | |
and human values. It's a choice of school | :23:38. | :23:39. | |
which represents a bit of a break Nothing too radical, of course, | :23:40. | :23:42. | |
it's still private and fee-paying, but it is coeducational | :23:43. | :23:45. | |
and the school has a strong George will find that 'be kind' | :23:46. | :23:48. | |
is one of the guiding principles for pupils here, | :23:49. | :23:51. | |
together with courtesy and humility. All useful qualities | :23:52. | :23:54. | |
for a future king. Nicholas Witchell, | :23:55. | :24:00. | |
BBC News, Battersea. England's cricketers made a strong | :24:01. | :24:07. | |
start to the third and decisive Test match at Lord's today, | :24:08. | :24:09. | |
bowling out James Anderson, meanwhile, | :24:10. | :24:11. | |
began the match trying to reach 500 wickets in Test matches - | :24:12. | :24:19. | |
he needed just three more today. This man prepared for the match | :24:20. | :24:22. | |
with no plans for retirement. This man arrived at Lord's knowing | :24:23. | :24:30. | |
it was his final test, Henry Blofeld of Test Match Special, | :24:31. | :24:33. | |
dressed to stop the traffic It's very good to be | :24:34. | :24:35. | |
here, old thing. Do we hope for something of | :24:36. | :24:44. | |
a West Indies revival to continue? I do, it would be lovely | :24:45. | :24:47. | |
if they won the series. It would do their cricket | :24:48. | :24:51. | |
so much good, wouldn't it? There's widespread goodwill | :24:52. | :24:53. | |
towards sportsmen representing the Caribbean, especially | :24:54. | :24:55. | |
at this time. But runs in a Test match | :24:56. | :24:56. | |
are hard earned, especially Test wickets number 498 | :24:57. | :24:59. | |
and 499 came before lunch, The thing is - other England | :25:00. | :25:02. | |
bowlers were excelling. Ben Stokes was making the ball | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
swerve and swing like never before. As wickets fell to others, Anderson | :25:08. | :25:13. | |
was desperately trying to get one. The West Indies were nine down, | :25:14. | :25:19. | |
another for Stokes. So, are you going to give me | :25:20. | :25:25. | |
a chance to get my 500th? Next ball 123 all out, | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
and Stokes's career-best figures. Six wickets for 22, and the biggest | :25:31. | :25:35. | |
compliment anyone could pay? It's a team game and you only win | :25:36. | :25:53. | |
Test matches by batting well. England right now certainly are not, | :25:54. | :25:58. | |
and Ben Stokes instead of resting right now is batting. And just about | :25:59. | :26:00. | |
surviving. And you're going to start with | :26:01. | :26:12. | |
Hurricane Irma. Absolutely. Having caused widespread | :26:13. | :26:17. | |
catastrophic destruction to parts of the Caribbean, there will be | :26:18. | :26:19. | |
residents feeling very worried at the moment in the Turks and Caicos | :26:20. | :26:25. | |
Islands and also the Bahamas, as Hurricane Irma bears down on them. | :26:26. | :26:30. | |
The main core of this hurricane will be close enough to bring torrential | :26:31. | :26:36. | |
falls of rain and a similar picture too in Cuba. It across the Turks and | :26:37. | :26:40. | |
Caicos Islands that in the next six hours we will see a direct hit. With | :26:41. | :26:48. | |
winds gusting to 212 mph, a storm surge 20 foot high summer three | :26:49. | :26:53. | |
times my height, we will see further catastrophic damage here in the | :26:54. | :26:59. | |
Turks and Caicos Islands, then Florida later this weekend. Here in | :27:00. | :27:04. | |
the UK meanwhile it has been a cloudy day with outbreaks of rain | :27:05. | :27:07. | |
pushing southwards and that will continue overnight tonight. The | :27:08. | :27:11. | |
heaviest rain sinking southwards into Wales across the Midlands, and | :27:12. | :27:15. | |
by the end of the night reaching southern counties of England. All | :27:16. | :27:19. | |
the while, some brisk winds blowing in showers across the rest of the UK | :27:20. | :27:23. | |
but at least the winds will keep the temperature is up, 15 degrees the | :27:24. | :27:31. | |
most. This rain could be heavy with thunder and gusty winds as well. To | :27:32. | :27:36. | |
the north of the weather front, widespread showers and in between | :27:37. | :27:40. | |
those showers probably only limited bright spells, probably the best of | :27:41. | :27:45. | |
these across north-east England, where some could stay dry but I | :27:46. | :27:52. | |
wouldn't bet on it. 15 degrees in Glasgow, perhaps feeling autumn has | :27:53. | :27:55. | |
set in place, and more coming this weekend with low pressure still with | :27:56. | :28:00. | |
us, widespread showers in the forecast, often cloudy and becoming | :28:01. | :28:04. | |
increasingly windy with gales in the second half of the weekend. We will | :28:05. | :28:08. | |
be keeping a close eye on what Hurricane Irma has been up to and we | :28:09. | :28:13. | |
will keep the progress of that storm up-to-date on the BBC weather | :28:14. | :28:17. | |
website. There is also more on the BBC Twitter feed. | :28:18. | :28:21. | |
Hurricane Irma leaves a trail of devastation in its wake - | :28:22. | :28:26. | |
at least nine people are known to have died in the Caribbean. | :28:27. | :28:29. | |
