0:00:13 > 0:00:15More than 37,000 knife crimes were recorded -

0:00:31 > 0:00:33what we are doing is not correct?
0:00:33 > 0:00:35We'll be examining the figures in reality.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Also tonight...
0:00:38 > 0:00:38A rift? What rift?
0:00:38 > 0:00:41President Trump tells Theresa May he loves Britain and expects

0:00:49 > 0:00:54We love your country. We think it's really great.
0:00:54 > 0:00:59More than 4,500 people sleeping rough on the streets of England -

0:01:22 > 0:01:24The woman who presided over Phil Neville's appointment
0:01:24 > 0:01:26as England women's manager, defends the move amid criticism
0:01:26 > 0:01:34of the FA's recruitment process.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six.
0:01:51 > 0:01:56There's been a sharp rise in the number of serious violent
0:01:56 > 0:01:58crimes and sex offences recorded by police in England and Wales.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02And official figures show cases of murder and manslaughter
0:02:02 > 0:02:10are at their highest level in almost a decade.
0:02:10 > 0:02:16A separate survey based on people's experiences suggests that overall
0:02:16 > 0:02:18crime is continuing to fall.
0:02:18 > 0:02:23Tom Symonds has this report.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Behind the statistics, wasted lives. A decade after This Boy first tried
0:02:27 > 0:02:32out the bike he had been given as a present, he became one of the four
0:02:32 > 0:02:36young men stabbed to death in London on New Year's Eve, leaving his
0:02:36 > 0:02:42father confronting a nightmare. You saw his body?Yes.What is it like
0:02:42 > 0:02:51for a father to see his son dead in front of him?I was crying.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54front of him?I was crying.He tells us in his native Portuguese he has
0:02:54 > 0:02:58no idea why it happened, what might have been going on in his son's
0:02:58 > 0:03:02life. TRANSLATION:My advice brother
0:03:02 > 0:03:06parents would be to talk more to your kids, try to find out, even if
0:03:06 > 0:03:12you think they have secrets away from home.The figures set out the
0:03:12 > 0:03:18rise in violent crime recorded by police. Knife crime went up by 21%.
0:03:18 > 0:03:25Gun crime up by 20%. Manslaughter and murder went up by 10%. Now the
0:03:25 > 0:03:29official survey of crime shows that the number of people who say they
0:03:29 > 0:03:33have been a victim is falling steadily. But police records are
0:03:33 > 0:03:41seen and is an accurate measure of serious violent crime. And despite
0:03:41 > 0:03:46schemes like this were knives coming handed in, it is rising steadily.He
0:03:46 > 0:03:50said he didn't mean to kill him, that was not his intention. He just
0:03:50 > 0:03:57wanted to wear Tim up, cut him and take photos.Alison Cope is talking
0:03:57 > 0:04:00about the murder of her own son. Her audience, students at Coventry
0:04:00 > 0:04:07College.
0:04:07 > 0:04:14College. Josh was a grime artist. A single slash of a knife took his
0:04:14 > 0:04:21life in 2013.His eyes flicker, they close, hits the floor.It is a tough
0:04:21 > 0:04:26listen. Alison tells them, these are the consequences, but carrying a
0:04:26 > 0:04:29knife is your choice. She believes telling them not to doesn't work.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32She says that is how the current policy of the God month comes
0:04:32 > 0:04:38across.They are standing up and doing their token gesture and it
0:04:38 > 0:04:41isn't working. How many young people have to die for them to admit that
0:04:41 > 0:04:47what we are doing is not correct? Government policy recently has
0:04:47 > 0:04:52centred on enforcement, tough rules on knives, tough policing. Tough
0:04:52 > 0:04:58sentences. But today, ministers appeared to signal a change towards
0:04:58 > 0:05:03Alison's way.We have to get to the root causes and work as a society,
0:05:03 > 0:05:09government police and civil society, to try and get to the root of this
0:05:09 > 0:05:14cultural issue, try and steer young people away from violence.But
0:05:14 > 0:05:17serious proposals for work with young people are not going to come
0:05:17 > 0:05:22cheap. And by the way, police numbers are now at their lowest
0:05:22 > 0:05:24level for two decades. Tom Symonds, BBC News.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Joining me is our Home Editor, Mark Easton.
0:05:26 > 0:05:32Two separate sets of crime figures - put them in context for us.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36One says serious violent crime is up, the other that it is down. It is
0:05:36 > 0:05:41confusing. What is the reality?My interpretation is that broadly this
0:05:41 > 0:05:46is very good news but with a real note of caution. Good news because
0:05:46 > 0:05:49by the best measure we have, the chances of someone being a victim of
0:05:49 > 0:05:55crime is at its lowest level in England and Wales since records
0:05:55 > 0:06:01began. The number of victims, 10% down year-on-year, and 60% down
0:06:01 > 0:06:05since the number we had in the mid-90s. That is encouraging. That
0:06:05 > 0:06:11comes from what people actually say to pollsters about their experience
0:06:11 > 0:06:19of crime. Not what is recorded by police. The note of caution, violent
0:06:19 > 0:06:24crime recorded by police. These categories which the police are
0:06:24 > 0:06:28recording in larger numbers. Given the serious nature of them, we are
0:06:28 > 0:06:33probably seeing something real. Your chances of being a victim, even of
0:06:33 > 0:06:38those crimes, even homicide, are lower than they were ten years ago.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42But are we seeing them start to take up? They are relatively rare events.
0:06:42 > 0:06:49But the stress and harm these issues cause is huge. That is why the
0:06:49 > 0:06:52politicians and police want to reduce them.Mark Easton, thank you.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55It was a much anticipated meeting - the first time Theresa May
0:06:55 > 0:06:58and President Trump had seen each other since an online spat over
0:06:58 > 0:07:00tweets from the far right group Britain First.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02That was followed swiftly by the president cancelling
0:07:02 > 0:07:04a visit to London to open the new US embassy.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07But today, in the Swiss resort of Davos, the pair insisted
0:07:07 > 0:07:10the special relationship was as strong as ever.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13The president told Mrs May that he loved her country,
0:07:13 > 0:07:18and expected to see a "tremendous increase" in
0:07:18 > 0:07:20trade between the UK and the US.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24From Davos, here's Kamal Ahmed.
0:07:24 > 0:07:33He arrived at lunchtime, a blizzard of rotor blades and hotspot. The
0:07:33 > 0:07:36president was here. And the world Economic Forum better sit up and
0:07:36 > 0:07:39take notice. He said he was here to spread peace and prosperity.Very
0:07:39 > 0:07:46excited to be here. The United States is doing very well.There was
0:07:46 > 0:07:49one leader Donald Trump said he would be delighted to meet.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52The Prime Minister and myself have a really great relationship,
0:07:52 > 0:07:53although some people don't necessarily believe that.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57But I can tell you I have tremendous respect for the Prime Minister
0:07:57 > 0:07:58and the job she's doing.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01I think the feeling is mutual from the point
0:08:01 > 0:08:10of liking each other a lot.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15The PM, not quite as loud a presence in Davos today, said she agreed.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18We've had a great discussion today and we continue to have that really
0:08:18 > 0:08:20special relationship between the UK and the United States.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Standing shoulder to shoulder because we are facing the same
0:08:22 > 0:08:25challenges across the world and as you say, we are working
0:08:25 > 0:08:27together to defeat those challenges and beat them.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29And alongside that, working for a trade relationship
0:08:29 > 0:08:32in the future, which will be to both our benefits.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Theresa May has faced some rocky moments with the man
0:08:34 > 0:08:40in the White House, but this wasn't a moment to remember
0:08:40 > 0:08:42those critical tweets about terror or cancelled official visits.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45He walked through here like a rock star.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48The first US president to visit the World Economic Forum
0:08:48 > 0:08:52since Bill Clinton in the year 2000.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55The big and difficult question for Theresa May
0:08:55 > 0:08:58is this: Politically, economically, how close does
0:08:58 > 0:09:06she want to get to this most controversial of big beasts?
0:09:06 > 0:09:11There is a contrast in style, certainly, but the UK needs America,
0:09:11 > 0:09:15especially as Britain plots its exit from the European Union.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17We are not all on the same page.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21America has a strong relationship with the United Kingdom over time
0:09:21 > 0:09:28and Theresa May can't afford to sever that by injecting too much.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30-- objecting to much.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33One of the world's leading bankers explained via Trump was a hit.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35The alternative to Trump would have been more regulation, higher taxes.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Instead we have lower taxes and less regulation.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40That is stimulative to the market, there is a lot of collateral affects
0:09:40 > 0:09:44and people will debate that so I haven't thrown in all necessary
0:09:44 > 0:09:46is a good thing, not a bad thing.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49Theresa May left Davos tonight, back to the UK and domestic matters.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Tomorrow, the President's big speech on America,
0:09:51 > 0:09:54trade and putting the US first.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58Kamal Ahmed, BBC News, Davos.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02In a moment we'll speak to Laura Kuennsberg in Westminster.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04But first, our North America Editor Jon Sopel, is in Davos.
0:10:04 > 0:10:09So all friends again?
0:10:09 > 0:10:18Yeah. A huge rapprochement has taken place. Donald Trump was saying,
0:10:18 > 0:10:24troubles in our relationship, almost fake news. It is a false rumour. He
0:10:24 > 0:10:27has tweeted it was a positive relationship he had with Theresa
0:10:27 > 0:10:32May. Downing Street saying the PM and President concluded by asking
0:10:32 > 0:10:36officials to work together on finalising the details of a visit by
0:10:36 > 0:10:41the President to the UK later this year. A visit, no mention of it
0:10:41 > 0:10:45being a state visit. On the British side they thought they had a visit
0:10:45 > 0:10:48Lochinver February, when Donald Trump was going to open the new US
0:10:48 > 0:10:53embassy. -- locked in for a feathery. Then he announced he would
0:10:53 > 0:10:57be coming. The British will not be taking anything for granted. Britain
0:10:57 > 0:11:02needs America if there is going to be a trade deal post Brexit. There
0:11:02 > 0:11:06were positive words not just from Theresa May and Donald Trump, but
0:11:06 > 0:11:09from the US Treasury Secretary. That is all good. Atmospherics help a
0:11:09 > 0:11:15great deal. The mood helps a great deal. But the details of trade
0:11:15 > 0:11:17negotiations are immensely complicated and ultimately it's an
0:11:17 > 0:11:21arm wrestle. And who needs that a trade deal more? Britain or the
0:11:21 > 0:11:22United States?
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Meanwhile, Laura - Brexit causing the Prime Minister
0:11:24 > 0:11:26more headaches in Davos?
0:11:26 > 0:11:32That is right. During all that hobnobbing, Theresa May's party
0:11:32 > 0:11:36seemed to be doing its best to drag her back to their own divisions of
0:11:36 > 0:11:42Brexit. The Chancellor, Philip Hammond, onstage in Davos said that
0:11:42 > 0:11:47ultimately he told the two economies, the EU and the UK would
0:11:47 > 0:11:52only be very modestly a part -- apart. That comment about staying
0:11:52 > 0:11:56really close to the rest of the continent after Brexit, that
0:11:56 > 0:12:00horrifies many people on the Tory backbenchers, including one leading
0:12:00 > 0:12:05Brexiteer, Jacob Rees-Mogg, who in his speech tonight, will accuse
0:12:05 > 0:12:08ministers of being cowed by the EU. He will say they are just managing
0:12:08 > 0:12:14to time. And calling for the government to change its toll on
0:12:14 > 0:12:18Brexit fundamentally. This may sound like a war of words. But this goes
0:12:18 > 0:12:23right to the heart of Theresa May's struggled to stick its party
0:12:23 > 0:12:28together over its biggest project, how and when, exactly how, we leave
0:12:28 > 0:12:34the European Union. Now broadly, the majority of MPs, and certainly the
0:12:34 > 0:12:37majority of ministers, think she is the only person, although it seems
0:12:37 > 0:12:41grim, who is actually able to do this. But in Westminster in the last
0:12:41 > 0:12:47couple of weeks, the Tory party has turned pretty sour. One said to me
0:12:47 > 0:12:51today they are in the mood for a regime change. I don't think we are
0:12:51 > 0:12:55about to slip into any kind of enormous battle, but certainly
0:12:55 > 0:12:59things feel very tricky for Number 10. However many smiles there were
0:12:59 > 0:13:03with President Trump. Laura Kuenssberg in Westminster and
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Jon Sopel in Davos, thank you.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Health officials in England say the outbreak of winter flu
0:13:08 > 0:13:12appears to have peaked.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Although the number of people with the flu is still rising,
0:13:14 > 0:13:16the rate of the increase is slowing down.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19Rates have risen in Wales, but fallen slightly
0:13:19 > 0:13:21in Northern Ireland and Scotland.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24The Prime Minister says she will continue to work to ensure
0:13:24 > 0:13:26women are "accepted and respected as equals" as the fallout
0:13:26 > 0:13:29from the men-only charity dinner - the President's Club -
0:13:29 > 0:13:31continues.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35An undercover reporter says women employed as hostesses as the event
0:13:35 > 0:13:38last week were groped and sexually harassed.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40Theresa May says it wasn't just the event that worried her,
0:13:40 > 0:13:43but what it said about the wider issue in society and
0:13:43 > 0:13:51attitudes to women. Sarah Campbell.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56The invitation was for a men only, a chance to network, raise money for
0:13:56 > 0:14:01charity and interact with more than 100 young women, all told to wear
0:14:01 > 0:14:05short, tight dresses. This was last week. The dinner has been an annual
0:14:05 > 0:14:11event for more than 30 years. Chloe, not her real name, was a hostess in
0:14:11 > 0:14:172014 and 2015, earning some extra cash as she studied for her masters.
0:14:17 > 0:14:23You had to sign a nondisclosure agreement.What was in it?I can't
0:14:23 > 0:14:27remember. We didn't have long enough to look at it. We were given glasses
0:14:27 > 0:14:31of wine. They also took away mobile phones and they were locked away.
0:14:31 > 0:14:36What was the atmosphere like?There were girls sat on people's labs
0:14:36 > 0:14:42being fondled and groped. That was very early on in the evening. The
0:14:42 > 0:14:45fact we were hired for entertainment, people thought that
0:14:45 > 0:14:51was OK. And that kind of behaviour was permissible.The repercussions
0:14:51 > 0:14:55for those who attended the dinner have continued. Nadhim Zahawi, the
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Minister for children and families, was reprimanded by his party. He
0:14:58 > 0:15:02said he left early because he felt uncomfortable and has condemned what
0:15:02 > 0:15:07he described as the horrific events reported by the financial Times.Are
0:15:07 > 0:15:12you going to lose your job?Another attendee, a businessman, said he had
0:15:12 > 0:15:17not seen any inappropriate behaviour.That doesn't mean things
0:15:17 > 0:15:20couldn't have gone wrong. It is too large a crowd, things could have
0:15:20 > 0:15:25gone wrong and there is no justification. If anybody felt
0:15:25 > 0:15:31uncomfortable, if a young lady felt uncomfortable, it's completely
0:15:31 > 0:15:36unpardonable.This morning at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland,
0:15:36 > 0:15:39the Prime Minister gave her reaction to how the women were allegedly
0:15:39 > 0:15:42treated.When I read the report of that event that took place, I was
0:15:42 > 0:15:49appalled. I thought that that sort of approach to women, that
0:15:49 > 0:15:52objectification of women, was something we were leaving behind. We
0:15:52 > 0:15:57have made progress but it is clear there is more thrust do.The dinner
0:15:57 > 0:16:01will be the last as the Presidents Club has now closed. But the event
0:16:01 > 0:16:05is being seen as further evidence of just how far women still have to go
0:16:05 > 0:16:12to be treated as equals in the world of work. Sarah Campbell, BBC News.
0:16:12 > 0:16:13Our top story this evening...
0:16:13 > 0:16:16A sharp rise in the number of serious violent crimes and sex
0:16:16 > 0:16:19offences recorded by police in England and Wales.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22And still to come - the new star of British tennis,
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Kyle Edmund, bows out in straight sets in the semi final
0:16:24 > 0:16:26of the Australian Open.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Coming up on Sportsday in BBC News...
0:16:28 > 0:16:29the Manchester United manager,
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Jose Mourinho, commits his future to the club,
0:16:31 > 0:16:38signing a new deal which will run until 2020.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48It's an increasingly common sight across towns and cities in England -
0:16:48 > 0:16:51people sleeping rough on the pavement or in shop doorways.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54And now the government has released new figures which show that numbers
0:16:54 > 0:16:56have increased for the seventh year in a row.
0:16:56 > 0:17:01Nearly 5,000 people were sleeping on the streets last year.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03That's 15% more than in 2016.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06In fact, the latest figures are the highest since records began.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08The government says it's investing more than a billion pounds
0:17:08 > 0:17:10to address the issue.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Our Social Affairs Correspondent Michael Buchanan has been
0:17:12 > 0:17:20looking at the problem and potential solutions.
0:17:23 > 0:17:28Freezing cold, shivering, rain battering down on you. They kick
0:17:28 > 0:17:33you, punch you and shock bricks at you while you are asleep. They think
0:17:33 > 0:17:40it's fun.This can happen to any of us at any given time.Rough sleepers
0:17:40 > 0:17:44have long been visible in London, but the rising numbers has made the
0:17:44 > 0:17:51problem visible in many more places. Milton Keynes is a new town dealing
0:17:51 > 0:17:58with new problem. Within metres of the station, is Tony, he is 72. He
0:17:58 > 0:18:04was evicted from his flat last February, he won't say why.Every
0:18:04 > 0:18:09time I wake up, I class it as a bonus, it's another day I have got
0:18:09 > 0:18:12to get through.The town is struggling to accommodate its
0:18:12 > 0:18:18residents despite some of its homeless having jobs.I pay for my
0:18:18 > 0:18:24daughter's nursery fees and right after Christmas I've got nothing.
0:18:24 > 0:18:29Isaac is an assistant project manager with an accountancy firm. A
0:18:29 > 0:18:33domestic incident left him spending two freezing nights in a garage. He
0:18:33 > 0:18:39hasn't told as employers he's homeless.I go through the night
0:18:39 > 0:18:42sometimes rough and I have to go through the day without showing that
0:18:42 > 0:18:49this is the situation throughout the night.I continued my journey north,
0:18:49 > 0:18:56heading for Crewe. Two years ago there were officially no rough
0:18:56 > 0:19:07sleepers in the an area.In the last few years my mum got cancer and died
0:19:07 > 0:19:13so I lost it.In a nearby car park, and increasing phenomenon. People
0:19:13 > 0:19:18homeless in their hometown. Devastated. To sit there on corners,
0:19:18 > 0:19:23when people walk past him know you, you grew up with, and they look down
0:19:23 > 0:19:28their nose at you.These figures only apply to England but Scotland
0:19:28 > 0:19:32too has a problem with rough sleeping so I'm heading to Glasgow
0:19:32 > 0:19:36now to see their very different approach to the problem.This was
0:19:36 > 0:19:42the kitchen area...This flat has been bought specifically for a
0:19:42 > 0:19:48homeless man. The initiative is called Housing first, the idea is to
0:19:48 > 0:19:56give every rough sleeper in Glasgow at home and support worker.Whoever
0:19:56 > 0:20:00is in this flat and goes back to rough sleeping, we will hold this
0:20:00 > 0:20:04flat for them while we engage with them on the street.The scheme won't
0:20:04 > 0:20:08be cheap but evidence from abroad suggests it works and is far less
0:20:08 > 0:20:14expensive than doing nothing. It must be very dangerous to be a woman
0:20:14 > 0:20:25on the street.It is, it is aye. Very true, very true. Michael
0:20:25 > 0:20:32Buchanan, BBC News. Several more
0:20:32 > 0:20:35Several more more big names have revealed that they've been
0:20:35 > 0:20:37caught up in a widespread recall of meat.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39It started on Monday when Wetherspoons pulled steaks
0:20:39 > 0:20:40from its 900 pubs across the UK.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42Its supplier, Russell Hume, is being investigated
0:20:42 > 0:20:45by the Food Standards Agency for what it describes as "serious
0:20:45 > 0:20:46non compliance with food hygiene regulations".
0:20:46 > 0:20:49All six of its sites have had to suspend meat distribution.
0:20:49 > 0:20:50And its customers, which included Butlins,
0:20:50 > 0:20:52Jamie's Italian restaurants, several pub chains and Hilton
0:20:52 > 0:20:58Hotels, have withdrawn meat from the supplier.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01As pressure grows on us all to cut down on the amount of plastic
0:21:01 > 0:21:04we use, new plans have been unveiled which will give people access
0:21:04 > 0:21:05to free drinking water in England.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08The idea is that a new network will be set up -
0:21:08 > 0:21:10including restaurants, shops, businesses and
0:21:10 > 0:21:18new water fountains - where you can fill up your water
0:21:18 > 0:21:20bottle while out and about, rather than buying a new one.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22Jon Kay explains.
0:21:22 > 0:21:28Bradford-on-Avon.
0:21:28 > 0:21:29You won't go thirsty here.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32In this Wiltshire market town, 22 businesses will now top
0:21:32 > 0:21:33up your water bottle for free.
0:21:33 > 0:21:34From the cafe...
0:21:34 > 0:21:35Yeah, sure.
0:21:35 > 0:21:36..To the supermarket...
0:21:36 > 0:21:37Coming right up.
0:21:37 > 0:21:41..To the hardware store.
0:21:41 > 0:21:46Here we are, we have a cluster of them here.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Jill runs the town scheme and showed me how you can source
0:21:48 > 0:21:50free water on your phone.
0:21:50 > 0:21:54What started here in the west of England is now going nationwide.
0:21:54 > 0:22:02It makes me feel really good that it's having an effect.
0:22:05 > 0:22:11I play tennis and when I see some of my fellow tennis mates come
0:22:11 > 0:22:14in with a throwaway bottle, I say stop doing it.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16You need water, every time you come here you need water.
0:22:16 > 0:22:22How difficult it is for you to look in your cupboard
0:22:22 > 0:22:24to find a refillable one?
0:22:24 > 0:22:27The scheme is now backed by hotel and pub chains, water companies...
0:22:27 > 0:22:29And this skate park in Manchester, who have also
0:22:29 > 0:22:31agreed to offer refills.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33Even if it means taking less money at the till.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37We just feel like water is a major need of everybody so,
0:22:37 > 0:22:39particularly if you're doing a sporting activity,
0:22:39 > 0:22:42so to stop people having and accessing it seems unreasonable.
0:22:42 > 0:22:43Bristol.
0:22:43 > 0:22:48There are already more than 200 free water points here,
0:22:48 > 0:22:51but the body that represents bottled water companies says lots of us
0:22:51 > 0:22:55still want the convenience of buying it chilled or fizzy.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58We like flavour, obviously, in this country so I think it
0:22:58 > 0:22:59will be a tough choice for people.
0:22:59 > 0:23:04It's hard to choose no flavour over flavour.
0:23:04 > 0:23:09Tough choice for you?Yes.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11I usually only buy them if I've forgotten a bottle.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14How much was that?
0:23:14 > 0:23:20About 80p.OK. Over there you could have had it for free.
0:23:20 > 0:23:24they didn't come from that way, I came from the centre.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27Jon Kay, BBC News, Bristol.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30He's the new star of British tennis but Kyle Edmund's brilliant run
0:23:30 > 0:23:33at the Australian Open came to an end today as he was
0:23:33 > 0:23:34overpowered in the semi-finals.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36He lost in straight sets to the sixth seed Marin Cilic.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39But Edmund said he'd been bitten by the Grand Slam bug
0:23:39 > 0:23:41and was determined to come back for more.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43Hywel Griffith reports from Melbourne.
0:23:43 > 0:23:50Keep cool and carry on, under Melbourne's baking sun,
0:23:50 > 0:23:52it's the only way to succeed.
0:23:52 > 0:23:57And as some famous names went home
0:23:57 > 0:23:59early, Britain's big, new hope forged ahead.
0:23:59 > 0:24:00Kyle Edmund's done amazing.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02We've seen some of his matches and we're rooting
0:24:02 > 0:24:03for him all the way.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05After years in Andy Murray's shadow, Kyle Edmund arrived
0:24:05 > 0:24:08at the Australian Open without much expectation weighing him down.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10But in the biggest game of his life, that changed.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13Some early errors and his nerves started to show.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15His serve broken twice, he lost the first set
0:24:15 > 0:24:19and showed signs of injury.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21In the second, things didn't get better.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24Get the referee on, I'm not having it.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27Frustrated by a late call, he took his anger out
0:24:27 > 0:24:34on the umpire, the referee, and eventually his opponent.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37Maybe he was channelling his inner Murray.
0:24:37 > 0:24:44It worked for a while, but he narrowly lost the second set.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46And from there, Cilic powered through, showing why he's
0:24:46 > 0:24:50in the world's top ten.
0:24:50 > 0:24:58A ranking Edmund can aspire to one day, once he's over the defeat.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00It's sad to lose, the run has ended.
0:25:00 > 0:25:01Obviously frustration tonight with my performance.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04But, in the short term, I'm disappointed and I
0:25:04 > 0:25:09have to accept that.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11Disappointing, yes. Devastating? Hardly.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14Kyle Edmund's shown here there's a lot more to British men's tennis
0:25:14 > 0:25:16than just Andy Murray.
0:25:16 > 0:25:23He's not the finished article just yet, but he should fly home happy.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25There, he's bound to be given a hero's welcome.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27At his old school in Yorkshire, they're still pretty proud.
0:25:27 > 0:25:33Hywel Griffith, BBC News, Melbourne.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36Baroness Tessa Jowell was given a standing ovation in the Lords this
0:25:36 > 0:25:37afternoon after delivering an emotional speech calling
0:25:37 > 0:25:42for new cancer treatments to be available on the NHS.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45Yesterday the former Labour Cabinet minister gave her first interview
0:25:45 > 0:25:51since being diagnosed with a severe form of brain cancer last May.
0:25:51 > 0:25:56I hope that this debate will give hope to other cancer patients, like
0:25:56 > 0:26:04me, so that we can live well together with cancer.
0:26:04 > 0:26:08Not just dying of it.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10All of us for longer.
0:26:10 > 0:26:14Thank you.
0:26:14 > 0:26:22APPLAUSE.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28It was a really moving speech and a wonderful reaction
0:26:28 > 0:26:32to Tessa Jowell afterwards in the House of Lords.
0:26:32 > 0:26:33Time for a look at the weather.
0:26:33 > 0:26:40Here's Lucy Martin.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44There were some beautiful blue skies around earlier today, this photo
0:26:44 > 0:26:53sent in from Ireland. Unfortunately that wasn't the case for all of us,
0:26:53 > 0:26:55some heavy and thundery showers moving in from the west. The
0:26:55 > 0:26:59brighter the colour, the heavier the shower. As we move through this
0:26:59 > 0:27:04evening and overnight, they will continue to work eastwards. Losing a
0:27:04 > 0:27:10bit of their intensity and gradually fizzling out, some could fall as
0:27:10 > 0:27:14something wintry over higher ground. Where we have more in the way of
0:27:14 > 0:27:18cloud in the south and east, not quite as cold and still a few
0:27:18 > 0:27:23outbreaks of light rain and drizzle. As we move into tomorrow, an area of
0:27:23 > 0:27:26high pressure pushes in from the south-west and that will settle
0:27:26 > 0:27:31things down and bring a northerly breeze. So cool feel to things
0:27:31 > 0:27:35tomorrow, particularly where we see the clear skies overnight. We could
0:27:35 > 0:27:39see a touch of frost to begin with. Quickly brightening up where we see
0:27:39 > 0:27:45the
0:27:45 > 0:27:47the cloud to begin with so wintry sunshine around, dry and bright
0:27:47 > 0:27:53weather, and with light winds it will not feel too bad. A maximum of
0:27:53 > 0:27:56nine Celsius. On Saturday we start to see this weather front pushing in
0:27:56 > 0:28:01from the west. It won't be quite as cold. A dry start in the south-east
0:28:01 > 0:28:05but that rain moving eastwards, the heaviest rain in the north.
0:28:05 > 0:28:10Temperatures back in the double figures thanks to the milder air.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14That there continues to move in from the south-west as we go into Sunday,
0:28:14 > 0:28:18so Sunday another mild day but a fairly cloudy on with some outbreaks
0:28:18 > 0:28:26of rain in the north which could be quite heavy, and
0:28:27 > 0:28:29quite heavy, and gales and severe gales in the far north of Scotland.
0:28:29 > 0:28:30Temperatures back in the double figures.
0:28:30 > 0:28:35A reminder of our main story...
0:28:35 > 0:28:45That's all from the BBC News at Six so it's goodbye from me -
