[00:00.000 --> 00:08.880]  Tonight Live at Five, shredding his pension, disgraced bankers to Fred Goodwin finally agrees
[00:08.880 --> 00:14.000]  to hand back almost £350,000 a year.
[00:14.000 --> 00:17.980]  It was right that he paid back some of that money.
[00:17.980 --> 00:23.320]  This was the discretionary element that was agreed by the Royal Bank of Scotland before
[00:23.320 --> 00:24.820]  he left.
[00:24.820 --> 00:29.160]  Also tonight, Westminster blackout Angra's MP's expenses are published, but with crucial
[00:29.160 --> 00:31.960]  details covered up.
[00:31.960 --> 00:36.440]  Hot and bothered, the bleakest forecast yet on how climate change will affect every aspect
[00:36.440 --> 00:39.160]  of our daily lives.
[00:39.160 --> 00:43.040]  Mooseve leads the morning in Iran as tens of thousands of his supporters continued to
[00:43.040 --> 00:45.840]  defy the president.
[00:45.840 --> 00:50.000]  Brotherly banter the royal princes on living and flying with each other.
[00:50.000 --> 00:54.440]  It is still hard work, but I'm better than William so it's fine.
[00:54.440 --> 00:59.840]  Very well I cook him and feed him basically every day, I think he's done well in the world.
[00:59.840 --> 01:02.560]  First and last time we'd be living together.
[01:02.560 --> 01:10.800]  And so proud, hundreds lined the streets as the Gurkhas are awarded the freedom of Folkestone.
[01:10.800 --> 01:18.200]  Live from the Sky News Centre, this is Live at Five with Colin Brasio.
[01:18.200 --> 01:24.100]  A very good evening to you, our top story Live at Five, payback time for Fred the Shred
[01:24.100 --> 01:29.320]  after months of public and political pressure, so Fred Goodwin is to hand back a huge part
[01:29.320 --> 01:30.560]  of his pension.
[01:30.560 --> 01:36.600]  As revealed on Sky News, the disgraced banker will now take home £340,000 a year but keeps
[01:36.600 --> 01:38.720]  a multi-million pound lump sum.
[01:38.720 --> 01:42.600]  The Prime Minister welcomed his decision saying he'd done the right thing.
[01:42.600 --> 01:47.680]  Our business correspondent Ursula Errington reports.
[01:47.680 --> 01:52.240]  He never gave an inch in the banking world, a tough negotiator he earned the name Fred
[01:52.240 --> 01:53.480]  the Shred.
[01:53.480 --> 01:59.240]  But with negotiations now over, Sir Fred Goodwin's lost more than half of his RBS pension.
[01:59.240 --> 02:03.480]  The city's reeling at the news after months of wrangling between the bank, Sir Fred and
[02:03.480 --> 02:04.720]  the government.
[02:04.720 --> 02:09.640]  I think it was right that he paid back this sum of money.
[02:09.640 --> 02:14.960]  This was the discretionary element that was agreed by the Royal Bank of Scotland before
[02:14.960 --> 02:16.280]  he left.
[02:16.280 --> 02:21.600]  I think for the future it is really important now that we have proper systems of bonus
[02:21.600 --> 02:27.880]  and reward that reflect not short-term deals but reflect long-term success.
[02:27.880 --> 02:32.600]  In a statement, the bank stressed the former chief executive handed back the money voluntarily,
[02:32.600 --> 02:37.480]  adding this pension arrangement became a symbolic issue and the focus of unprecedented media
[02:37.480 --> 02:39.080]  and political attention.
[02:39.080 --> 02:43.840]  It had to be fixed to allow everyone to focus our energies where they should be on getting
[02:43.840 --> 02:46.200]  the company back to health.
[02:46.200 --> 02:52.080]  When this scandal first emerged in February, it was thought Sir Fred's pension was £693,000
[02:52.080 --> 02:58.160]  a year, but that figure was soon revised upwards to £703,000.
[02:58.160 --> 03:04.580]  RBS says Sir Fred took a lump sum payment of £2.7 million in February, shrinking his
[03:04.580 --> 03:08.360]  annual pension to £550,000.
[03:08.360 --> 03:15.080]  Now it's been revealed Goodwin is to take a further reduced pension of £342,500.
[03:15.080 --> 03:20.120]  But it's still a big cost to the bank, the pension pot to fund that is around £11.9
[03:20.120 --> 03:21.120]  million.
[03:21.120 --> 03:22.840]  Well, he's not going to starve, is he?
[03:22.840 --> 03:27.720]  I mean, he's on a rather lucrative pension by anyone's standards, you know, a footballer
[03:27.720 --> 03:29.840]  style pension anyway.
[03:29.840 --> 03:35.240]  So I don't imagine he's going to miss the money, but it allows him at least to rehabilitate
[03:35.240 --> 03:40.840]  himself somewhat in this country, you know, to walk around and not be shunned.
[03:40.840 --> 03:45.480]  But pressure for a pension payback was growing even before Sir Fred had to answer to the
[03:45.480 --> 03:50.640]  Treasury Select Committee to take responsibility for his part in bringing a British bank to
[03:50.640 --> 03:51.640]  the brink.
[03:51.640 --> 03:57.280]  There's a profound and unqualified apology for all of the distress that has been caused,
[03:57.280 --> 03:59.880]  and I would not wish there to be any doubt about that.
[03:59.880 --> 04:04.120]  Days later, the Prime Minister said his lawyers were going after the bankers' pension.
[04:04.120 --> 04:09.040]  I still think it would be better if Sir Fred waved the pension entitlement himself, but
[04:09.040 --> 04:12.760]  if that's not to be done, we will continue to seek the legal advice that is necessary.
[04:12.760 --> 04:17.560]  An angry Sir Fred hit back in the Telegraph newspaper, saying City Minister Lord Miners
[04:17.560 --> 04:22.080]  was well aware of his pension arrangements and had okayed them.
[04:22.080 --> 04:26.440]  Public fury over the whole financial meltdown focused on Sir Fred.
[04:26.440 --> 04:31.400]  Castigated as a bad banker, his children bullied, he'd already gone to ground somewhere in
[04:31.400 --> 04:34.840]  Europe when his Edinburgh home was vandalised.
[04:34.840 --> 04:40.320]  An internal inquiry at RBS has found Sir Fred didn't behave illegally or immorally as chief
[04:40.320 --> 04:42.120]  executive of the bank.
[04:42.120 --> 04:46.680]  That vindication will be important if he's to return to public life.
[04:46.680 --> 04:52.920]  The question now is whether conceding £4.7 million can buy the public's forgiveness.
[04:52.920 --> 04:56.240]  Well Ursula joins us now live from RBS headquarters in central London.
[04:56.240 --> 04:59.120]  Ursula, he still won't be short of ready cash.
[04:59.120 --> 05:03.840]  He won't be short of any money, no, but it would seem that this is something of a win-win
[05:03.840 --> 05:05.040]  solution all round.
[05:05.040 --> 05:06.960]  RBS gets some of their money back.
[05:06.960 --> 05:10.680]  The government can now say that they said they were going to go after part of this pension
[05:10.680 --> 05:15.920]  pot and they have delivered on that, avoiding a very costly court case, no doubt.
[05:15.920 --> 05:20.160]  And Sir Fred himself may now have done enough to be able to re-enter public life.
[05:20.160 --> 05:22.280]  And I think that's the crucial factor here.
[05:22.280 --> 05:26.560]  Whatever the extent to which you may blame Sir Fred Goodwin for the woes of RBS, he does
[05:26.560 --> 05:31.120]  have a young family who has said to have been very traumatised by the extent of the public
[05:31.120 --> 05:32.960]  anger that's been vented towards them.
[05:32.960 --> 05:36.200]  And it's said that that is perhaps one of the most important factors that brought him
[05:36.200 --> 05:38.360]  to the negotiating table to do this deal.
[05:38.360 --> 05:40.120]  He's made the deal.
[05:40.120 --> 05:44.040]  Why do you think, though, this gesture has come now at this time?
[05:44.040 --> 05:49.240]  Well, they were very clear today that Sir Fred Goodwin was only really willing to push
[05:49.240 --> 05:55.040]  forward these negotiations once RBS had concluded their own internal investigation into his
[05:55.040 --> 05:56.040]  conduct.
[05:56.040 --> 05:57.400]  They have finished that investigation.
[05:57.400 --> 06:02.120]  They said he did nothing illegal, nothing immoral, and so then he was very willing to
[06:02.120 --> 06:04.160]  sort out some kind of settlement.
[06:04.160 --> 06:08.880]  But he wouldn't going to do it before that, just in case he was ever accused of trying
[06:08.880 --> 06:11.480]  to buy his way out of being investigated.
[06:11.480 --> 06:14.120]  So it was important for him to get his name cleared.
[06:14.120 --> 06:16.960]  He'll be hoping with this gesture that now he can move on.
[06:16.960 --> 06:18.600]  Ursula, thanks very much.
[06:18.600 --> 06:21.800]  And later this hour I'll be speaking to our business presenter, Geoff Randall, who was
[06:21.800 --> 06:26.320]  who broke that story that's coming up live at half past five.
[06:26.320 --> 06:31.440]  David Cameron has agreed to pay back nearly £1,000 in wrongly claimed expenses.
[06:31.440 --> 06:36.040]  The Conservative leader's decision comes on the day details of all MP's expenses were
[06:36.040 --> 06:39.560]  made public but with key information missing.
[06:39.560 --> 06:43.960]  Our political correspondent, Glen O'Glazer reports.
[06:43.960 --> 06:49.840]  Publishing MP's expenses in full for the last four years was supposed to restore our trust
[06:49.840 --> 06:52.360]  in politics and politicians.
[06:52.360 --> 06:58.000]  But now we've seen the official paperwork, huge sections blacked out, information kept
[06:58.000 --> 06:59.000]  secret.
[06:59.000 --> 07:01.280]  Hardly transparent, is it?
[07:01.280 --> 07:06.400]  Without the Daily Telegraph's disclosures we would have had a lot of small items, about
[07:06.400 --> 07:12.720]  individual items and expenditure, but no information about the main scandal, which is the flipping
[07:12.720 --> 07:14.720]  of second homes.
[07:14.720 --> 07:18.560]  But apparently there are very good reasons why we can't see the information we'd like
[07:18.560 --> 07:19.560]  to.
[07:19.560 --> 07:25.320]  Every blacked out piece and we anticipated this would be the story, covers data protection,
[07:25.320 --> 07:30.400]  covers security, covers bank account numbers, covers credit card numbers, covers personal
[07:30.400 --> 07:36.320]  addresses, covers patterns of behaviour, covers suppliers who are covered by the Data Protection
[07:36.320 --> 07:40.560]  Act and if we were to publish their information we would be in breach of that and they could
[07:40.560 --> 07:42.840]  sue the House of Commons.
[07:42.840 --> 07:47.360]  So far 20 MP's have said they're going to stand down because of expenses, but they may
[07:47.360 --> 07:51.320]  not have had to if all we knew was from the claims published today.
[07:51.320 --> 07:54.360]  Take the latest resignation of Treasury Minister Kitty Usher.
[07:54.360 --> 07:59.320]  She avoided paying up to £17,000 in capital gains tax, but the change of address has
[07:59.320 --> 08:01.960]  been blocked out in the Commons receipt.
[08:01.960 --> 08:07.520]  Margaret Moran spent £22,500 to treat dry rot at a property a hundred miles from her
[08:07.520 --> 08:13.080]  constituency, but the address she was making claims on was completely blacked out.
[08:13.080 --> 08:18.720]  The £2,000 that Douglas Hogg claimed for cleaning out his moat wasn't even included.
[08:18.720 --> 08:23.960]  And as the published Commons receipt only show what was approved, we would be none the wiser
[08:23.960 --> 08:31.080]  that Gosforth MP Sir Peter Viggers tried to claim £1,600 for a duckhouse.
[08:31.080 --> 08:36.920]  Nor would we have known about Hazel Blears who stumped up £13,000 in capital gains tax
[08:36.920 --> 08:38.720]  before resigning from the government.
[08:38.720 --> 08:42.840]  There's a strong case, if not for the whole address being published, for I understand
[08:42.840 --> 08:46.360]  the reasons for that, at least the postcode being published, so people can see their MP
[08:46.360 --> 08:48.680]  for Luton's living in Southampton.
[08:48.680 --> 08:52.680]  The government maintains the system is being cleaned up.
[08:52.680 --> 08:59.400]  We are going to introduce legislation very, very shortly that will completely make the
[08:59.400 --> 09:03.160]  whole question of expenses run independently of the House of Commons, will be independent
[09:03.160 --> 09:05.560]  scrutiny, independent setting of the rules.
[09:05.560 --> 09:10.160]  I think that will lead to much more openness and will be far, far better in the future.
[09:10.160 --> 09:15.080]  From the Prime Minister down, MPs may feel they need their hard hats right now.
[09:15.080 --> 09:19.840]  If all details of MP's expenses were revealed, few doubts that even more of them would be
[09:19.840 --> 09:22.320]  forced to stand down.
[09:22.320 --> 09:26.320]  The fees office operates out of this innocuous, rather anonymous building across the road
[09:26.320 --> 09:27.320]  from the House of Commons.
[09:27.320 --> 09:31.840]  It's here, if you were allowed in, that you'd find those officials who approved all those
[09:31.840 --> 09:37.240]  MP's expenses and even, according to some MPs, encouraged them to overclaim.
[09:37.240 --> 09:42.640]  And yet they appear to operate in a culture of secrecy, revealing as little information
[09:42.640 --> 09:44.320]  as possible.
[09:44.320 --> 09:49.040]  More MPs are paying back money, including Conservative leader David Cameron, not only
[09:49.040 --> 09:54.600]  for that notorious wisteria, but also for mortgage interest payments and gas, electricity
[09:54.600 --> 09:56.280]  and phone bills.
[09:56.280 --> 10:03.440]  One thing we have learnt is that shadow Chancellor George Osborne claimed £47 for two DVDs of
[10:03.440 --> 10:04.920]  one of his own speeches.
[10:04.920 --> 10:09.160]  The subject of the speech, value for taxpayers' money.
[10:09.160 --> 10:12.040]  Glenn O'Glaeser, Sky News, Westminster.
[10:12.040 --> 10:16.000]  Well I'm in Westminster, our Chief Political Correspondent, John Craig, and John, Mr Cameron
[10:16.000 --> 10:19.440]  says this was an inadvertent error.
[10:19.440 --> 10:24.800]  Well it's small change, of course, compared with Fred Shred's gesture, but it is a gesture.
[10:24.800 --> 10:29.320]  Earlier this week Mr Cameron told a meeting of Tory MPs he was going to pay some money
[10:29.320 --> 10:30.320]  back.
[10:30.320 --> 10:31.760]  Now we know exactly what.
[10:31.760 --> 10:36.960]  He is trying to lead by example, though at that meeting he had with his MPs, there were
[10:36.960 --> 10:43.040]  grumbles and there's talk of a letter circulating, accusing him of a Stalinist tactics of getting
[10:43.040 --> 10:48.520]  tough on his back benches and not so tough on some of his own shadow cabinet members.
[10:48.520 --> 11:01.920]  This is what Mr Cameron told us just a very short time ago about what he's going to do.
[11:01.920 --> 11:02.920]  John, apologies to our viewers.
[11:02.920 --> 11:03.920]  We've got some sound problems there.
[11:03.920 --> 11:07.340]  We'll try and get that fixed and replay it later this hour, but the expenses with details
[11:07.340 --> 11:11.720]  blacked out, that's really grist of the mill for those who think MPs really had something
[11:11.720 --> 11:13.720]  to hide.
[11:13.720 --> 11:17.840]  The telegraph will say, and in fact they are saying, if it hadn't been for them, if it
[11:17.840 --> 11:20.880]  hadn't been for the fact that they knew the addresses, we wouldn't have known about all
[11:20.880 --> 11:21.880]  these flippers.
[11:21.880 --> 11:25.760]  We wouldn't have known, for example, about Kitty Asher, who quit last night.
[11:25.760 --> 11:29.000]  She might have got away with it, so the claim goes.
[11:29.000 --> 11:33.680]  What we've learned today really is a lot of rather colourful and rather interesting fun
[11:33.680 --> 11:38.040]  claims, if you like, besides George Osborne and these DVDs.
[11:38.040 --> 11:42.800]  We've got some quite interesting ones from Labour ministers, latex gloves, Douglas Alexander,
[11:42.800 --> 11:49.320]  a wine rack, Jim Knight, corkscrew and glasses, also Christmas cards, all that sort of stuff.
[11:49.320 --> 11:55.360]  On the Tory side, a massive mobile phone bill from Liam Fox, Chris Grayling, three televisions
[11:55.360 --> 11:57.520]  and three shredders.
[11:57.520 --> 11:59.560]  So you might say they're all a bit trivial.
[11:59.560 --> 12:03.640]  The serious point is that there's been a big battle here to try and keep this secret and
[12:03.640 --> 12:05.760]  there are still allegations of a cover-up.
[12:05.760 --> 12:12.520]  Mr Osborne, besides being lampooned over his DVDs, is facing a complaint by Labour, the
[12:12.520 --> 12:18.400]  Labour constituency chairman in Tatton, his constituency to the Parliamentary Commissioner
[12:18.400 --> 12:19.520]  for Standards.
[12:19.520 --> 12:23.360]  He's told us tonight that he has received a complaint, he's looking at it, deciding
[12:23.360 --> 12:25.960]  what to do, talking to Mr Osborne first.
[12:25.960 --> 12:31.240]  So a lot of allegations flying around between one party and another here, serious allegations
[12:31.240 --> 12:36.360]  of sleaze in some cases, some pretty trivial stuff we learned today and perhaps some of
[12:36.360 --> 12:38.680]  the more serious stuff has been covered up.
[12:38.680 --> 12:40.720]  John, thanks very much.
[12:40.720 --> 12:45.000]  Former Prime Minister Sir John Major has described the government's decision to keep an inquiry
[12:45.000 --> 12:48.200]  on the Iraq War private as inexplicable.
[12:48.200 --> 12:51.040]  He said the findings risk being denounced as a whitewash.
[12:51.040 --> 12:55.160]  Well, after a day of heavy criticism, Gordon Brown has been forced into a U-turn and some
[12:55.160 --> 12:57.560]  hearings will now be made public.
[12:57.560 --> 13:01.560]  Well, the former Cabinet Minister, Lord Butler, said the Prime Minister had not been acting
[13:01.560 --> 13:06.640]  in the interests of the public, at least not initially, he's in our Westminster studio,
[13:06.640 --> 13:07.640]  as you see.
[13:07.640 --> 13:09.760]  Lord Butler, thank you very much indeed for joining us this evening.
[13:09.760 --> 13:13.400]  You say the government's effectively been acting in the political rather than national
[13:13.400 --> 13:16.400]  interest, it's a serious accusation, why do you make it?
[13:16.400 --> 13:22.640]  Well you can see that it's in the government's political interest that as little should come
[13:22.640 --> 13:29.320]  out in public about the war in Iraq, between now and the general election, and one can't
[13:29.320 --> 13:34.120]  help feeling that the form of the inquiry has been dictated more by that consideration
[13:34.120 --> 13:40.040]  than the national consideration of purging the mistrust that people feel about the decisions
[13:40.040 --> 13:41.560]  to go to war.
[13:41.560 --> 13:45.760]  What do you say to those who argue and point to the template of the Frank's committee
[13:45.760 --> 13:50.520]  that looked into the Falklands War, which said, look, when you've got sensitive intelligence
[13:50.520 --> 13:54.720]  evidence, some of that has to be in camera, it has to be confidential?
[13:54.720 --> 14:00.920]  Well, some of it I think does have to be in camera, but of course my review published
[14:00.920 --> 14:06.160]  all the intelligence, all the intelligence assessments that the Ministers received.
[14:06.160 --> 14:11.680]  I think there are aspects of discussions with the Americans that ought to be heard in camera,
[14:11.680 --> 14:16.280]  and I think that there may be some people who will only be willing to give evidence in camera,
[14:16.280 --> 14:21.080]  but I think the presumption ought to be that the hearings are as much in public as they
[14:21.080 --> 14:27.480]  can be to try and show the public that the government is not trying to conceal things.
[14:27.480 --> 14:33.000]  There's a suggestion perhaps that what's cathartic for the relatives of those who died in fighting
[14:33.000 --> 14:35.280]  ought to be a guiding principle.
[14:35.280 --> 14:38.520]  Some might say that's not really the way that we ought to be looking at this.
[14:38.520 --> 14:42.760]  We ought not to be looking at it as a cathartic exercise for those who are perhaps still grieving.
[14:42.760 --> 14:47.960]  Well, I think there are two functions of the inquiry. One is to draw policy conclusions,
[14:47.960 --> 14:52.360]  the policy lessons, and there are certain a lot to be learnt from the Iraq experience,
[14:52.360 --> 14:56.720]  and that I think that the bodies that's been set up is well qualified to do.
[14:56.720 --> 15:00.200]  But I think that it's not just the relatives, it certainly includes the relatives.
[15:00.200 --> 15:07.200]  There are very many people who feel that they were misled, maybe even deceived by the government
[15:07.200 --> 15:13.440]  about decisions for going to war, and that is a feeling I think that, again, the government
[15:13.440 --> 15:18.920]  has got to deal with. It's in the public interest that that boil should be lanced.
[15:18.920 --> 15:23.800]  The more public the inquiry becomes, the more grandstanding some say there will be.
[15:23.800 --> 15:28.040]  Is that a danger we think perhaps maybe about the Bloody Sunday inquiry and think how long
[15:28.040 --> 15:30.200]  that's taken? How much it's cost?
[15:30.200 --> 15:34.200]  Well, I think the Bloody Sunday is a little bit of a bogeyman, if I may say so.
[15:34.200 --> 15:39.400]  I don't think all inquiries have to be like Bloody Sunday. And I think that, you know,
[15:39.400 --> 15:48.760]  as far as the evidence of the military, of the intelligence chiefs, indeed of the diplomats,
[15:48.760 --> 15:54.400]  I don't think there's much ground for grandstanding there. And I don't think if you look at previous
[15:54.400 --> 15:57.280]  inquiries, one sees much evidence of grandstanding.
[15:57.280 --> 16:00.320]  Well, maybe not grandstanding, but certainly a lawyer's paradise.
[16:00.320 --> 16:07.320]  Well, yes, but, you know, if people need to be protected by lawyer's advice, they need
[16:07.320 --> 16:12.240]  to be protected in a private inquiry as much as they do in a public inquiry. So I think
[16:12.240 --> 16:16.040]  that that's not an essential difference between a public and a private inquiry.
[16:16.040 --> 16:17.040]  Lord Butler, thanks very much.
[16:17.040 --> 16:18.040]  Thank you.
[16:18.040 --> 16:21.400]  I'd love to be speaking to the former prime minister, Sir John Major, later this hour.
[16:21.400 --> 16:26.720]  That is coming up at around about 5.30. Now, scientists have made the bleakest assessment
[16:26.720 --> 16:32.080]  yet of the effect climate change will have on the UK. They warn that rising temperatures
[16:32.080 --> 16:37.800]  and more extreme weather events will change all our daily lives. Well, guys, Holly Williams
[16:37.800 --> 16:38.800]  has more.
[16:38.800 --> 16:39.800]  Holly.
[16:39.800 --> 16:46.920]  Thanks, Colin. Scientists used a supercomputer to model different outcomes and its bad news,
[16:46.920 --> 16:52.080]  much more serious than we previously thought. If we don't cut carbon emissions, the worst
[16:52.080 --> 16:58.640]  case scenario is an average summer temperature rise of six degrees by 2080. So what would
[16:58.640 --> 17:05.560]  that feel like? Well, in London, summer temperatures would soar to 40 degrees. To put that in perspective,
[17:05.560 --> 17:11.520]  the 2003 heat wave saw temperatures of two degrees above average, killing 2,000 people
[17:11.520 --> 17:18.400]  here and 70,000 across Europe. With the heat could come more skin cancers, infectious diseases
[17:18.400 --> 17:24.800]  like malaria and respiratory problems like bronchitis and emphysema. Sea levels could
[17:24.800 --> 17:30.960]  also rise by 36 cm, putting hundreds of thousands of homes at risk. In the north, winters will
[17:30.960 --> 17:37.340]  be wetter and will see more storms. But with 20% less rain in some areas, farmers could
[17:37.340 --> 17:42.600]  face crop failures and drought. Those are the predictions for the future. So what's
[17:42.600 --> 17:46.260]  Britain doing to face the heat?
[17:46.260 --> 17:51.760]  If we don't cut carbon emissions, even the best case scenarios will bring more killer
[17:51.760 --> 17:59.760]  summers, more disastrous floods and creeping sea levels.
[17:59.760 --> 18:04.720]  Today the Prime Minister visited the Thames Barrier, built to protect London from floods
[18:04.720 --> 18:10.480]  in the 1950s. The message is that climate change is inevitable and we have to get ready
[18:10.480 --> 18:11.480]  for it.
[18:11.480 --> 18:17.200]  We're surrounded by the sea. We've got a lot of experience of dealing with it. We've invested
[18:17.200 --> 18:21.920]  over the last 12 years a lot of money in flood defence. We've doubled the spending, so more
[18:21.920 --> 18:26.880]  homes are protected now than was the case a decade ago. But we've got to prepare for
[18:26.880 --> 18:28.760]  the future that's coming as well.
[18:28.760 --> 18:33.400]  At Plumpton College near Lewis, they're making the best of rising temperatures, growing
[18:33.400 --> 18:37.520]  grapes and retraining local farmers to do the same.
[18:37.520 --> 18:42.360]  Two degrees hotter, then I think we're really in the champagne sort of climate. And I think
[18:42.360 --> 18:48.320]  there'll be some really big plantations on the chalky slopes in Kent and Surrey and Hampshire,
[18:48.320 --> 18:54.640]  even Dorset. And they'll be producing some wonderful wines.
[18:54.640 --> 19:00.600]  But for most of Britain, there's nothing to celebrate in today's report.
[19:00.600 --> 19:05.440]  To cope, the environment secretaries announced lots of new measures. There are contingency
[19:05.440 --> 19:10.400]  plans in hospitals to deal with heat waves and changes in farming practices. In fact,
[19:10.400 --> 19:15.320]  all government departments have been ordered to come up with adaptation plans. But what
[19:15.320 --> 19:19.160]  really needs to change is carbon emissions, the government's aiming to cut them by a
[19:19.160 --> 19:26.080]  third by 2020. If we can't do that, it's going to get a lot warmer, a lot sooner than we'd
[19:26.080 --> 19:27.080]  thought.
[19:27.080 --> 19:31.200]  Holly, thanks very much. Now, a journalist has won the right to withhold material about
[19:31.200 --> 19:36.180]  the real IRA from police in Northern Ireland. A judge ruled that Suzanne Breen's life would
[19:36.180 --> 19:40.560]  be endangered if she gave the authorities information on the killings of two British
[19:40.560 --> 19:44.080]  soldiers in March.
[19:44.080 --> 19:48.320]  Criminal trials to be heard without a jury for the first time, the Court of Appeal made
[19:48.320 --> 19:53.160]  the ruling saying there was a significant danger of jury tampering. Four people are
[19:53.160 --> 19:58.320]  facing charges after an armed attempt to steal £10 million from a warehouse at Heathrow
[19:58.320 --> 20:04.280]  Airport. Baroness Thatcher is to have a routine operation tomorrow to insert a pin into her
[20:04.280 --> 20:10.040]  broken arm. The 83-year-old has been recovering in hospital for a week after falling over
[20:10.040 --> 20:11.360]  at home.
[20:11.360 --> 20:16.560]  Iran's defeated presidential candidate Mir Hossein Musavi has appeared on the sixth day
[20:16.560 --> 20:21.400]  of protests in Tehran. Demonstrators wore black to mourn those killed in clashes with
[20:21.400 --> 20:22.400]  police.
[20:22.400 --> 20:25.720]  Well, Sky News' report is in Iran. We're asked to leave by the authorities after the
[20:25.720 --> 20:30.280]  election. This report is being compiled in London by our foreign affairs correspondent
[20:30.280 --> 20:32.280]  Lisa Holland.
[20:32.280 --> 20:42.720]  Iranian state television allowed to show President Ahmadinejad's nemesis. Grainy pictures, but
[20:42.720 --> 20:48.360]  still it is a highly provocative image. The opposition leader, who claims he was cheated
[20:48.360 --> 20:55.120]  from power calling on his supporters to stay calm. They had come because Mir Hossein Musavi
[20:55.120 --> 21:01.080]  had asked them to. Such is the following he has garnered over recent weeks.
[21:01.080 --> 21:06.960]  Now his face symbolises a movement demanding more than just a recount of the election. But
[21:06.960 --> 21:12.000]  for today he told them to wear black as a sign of mourning for those killed in the violence
[21:12.000 --> 21:16.080]  since voting day.
[21:16.080 --> 21:22.320]  This picture was taken yesterday of one family burying its dead. The government puts the
[21:22.320 --> 21:28.440]  number killed at eight. The opposition claims it's as many as a hundred across the country.
[21:28.440 --> 21:33.160]  But there's absolutely no way of knowing if that's true.
[21:33.160 --> 21:38.960]  And the list of those detained by the authorities is growing, including Ibrahim Yadzi, a former
[21:38.960 --> 21:45.160]  aide to the father of the revolution, the Ayatollah Khomeini. And Mohammed Tavassali,
[21:45.160 --> 21:50.080]  close to the former president, Raf Sanjani. The opposition says hundreds of people have
[21:50.080 --> 21:56.040]  been detained. Foreign journalists are still banned from attending the rallies and communication
[21:56.040 --> 22:00.000]  with the outside world is being stifled.
[22:00.000 --> 22:05.560]  The next move will come from the Ayatollah Khomeini, Iran's supreme leader. He will address
[22:05.560 --> 22:11.840]  the nation from Friday prayers in Tehran. It is his moment to really assert his authority
[22:11.840 --> 22:19.240]  in a place where the constitution decrees his word is final.
[22:19.240 --> 22:23.800]  Despite the violence in the universities and on the streets, it will be a moment to attempt
[22:23.800 --> 22:29.960]  to mould national unity, where for days now there has been violent division. If he fails,
[22:29.960 --> 22:33.400]  all bets are off in predicting Iran's future.
[22:33.400 --> 22:35.240]  Lisa Holland, Sky News.
[22:35.240 --> 22:41.040]  Britain's royal princes have revealed their royal rivalry. William and Harrier, both undergoing
[22:41.040 --> 22:49.200]  training to be pilots, but neither is willing to admit who's best, Sky's Jeff Mead reports.
[22:49.200 --> 22:54.940]  Brothers in arms as the two princes' military careers coincide for the first time. As well
[22:54.940 --> 22:59.240]  as getting to grips with rigorous classroom and flying tests they are sharing a house
[22:59.240 --> 23:01.440]  and a good deal of banter.
[23:01.440 --> 23:04.640]  He's definitely got more brains than me. I think we've established that from school,
[23:04.640 --> 23:11.400]  but when it comes to all that I'm much better hands on.
[23:11.400 --> 23:19.400]  It's pretty rich, coming from a ginger, so I'm quite happy as to what I'm doing on this one.
[23:19.400 --> 23:24.400]  Well, very well, I cook him and feed him basically every day. I think he's done well in the world.
[23:24.400 --> 23:26.400]  How are you telling us the other week that he did all the washing up?
[23:26.400 --> 23:28.400]  He does do a bit of the washing up, then he leaves most of it in the sink,
[23:28.400 --> 23:30.400]  and then it comes back in the morning and I have to wash it up.
[23:30.400 --> 23:32.400]  Oh, the lice!
[23:32.400 --> 23:35.400]  Do you end up finding yourself tidying up after him?
[23:35.400 --> 23:38.400]  Yeah, February tidying. He snores a lot as well, keeps me up all night long.
[23:38.400 --> 23:41.400]  I don't think we're showing you a bed tonight.
[23:41.400 --> 23:43.400]  I think that's very important we say that.
[23:43.400 --> 23:48.400]  William has been learning since January how to fly RAF search and rescue missions.
[23:48.400 --> 23:53.400]  Harry, who served on the front line in Hellman last year, is desperate to return to combat duty.
[23:53.400 --> 23:58.400]  The anonymity of a cockpit is seen as the safest way for a royal to return to action.
[23:58.400 --> 24:04.400]  To get out to Afghanistan again would be fantastic, and my best chance is to do it from a helicopter.
[24:04.400 --> 24:09.400]  You've got off the ground yet? You've got off the ground yet?
[24:09.400 --> 24:17.400]  And behind the Royal Chuckle Brothers routine, it's clear William longs for his own chance to serve in Hellman.
[24:17.400 --> 24:22.400]  I didn't join the forces to be, like I said, learned sometimes before, molly-cuddled or treated any different,
[24:22.400 --> 24:26.400]  and as far as I'm concerned, in my eyes, if Harry can do it, then I can do it.
[24:26.400 --> 24:29.400]  I don't really separate us in that much of a difference,
[24:29.400 --> 24:34.400]  and I think as a future head of the armed forces, it's really important that I at least get the opportunity
[24:34.400 --> 24:39.400]  to be credible and to do the job that I signed up for, and to do the best I can.
[24:39.400 --> 24:43.400]  It's actually out of the question that the second in line would be put at risk on the front line,
[24:43.400 --> 24:49.400]  and William will lose no respect inside or outside of the military for being forbidden combat duty.
[24:49.400 --> 24:53.400]  Whether his brother grabs more glory depends on how he progresses here,
[24:53.400 --> 24:58.400]  in the full knowledge that one in six army pilots failed to make the grade.
[24:58.400 --> 25:02.400]  Geoff Meade, Sky News, RF Shawbury.
[25:02.400 --> 25:07.400]  This is Sky News on our website skynews.com, the Afghan immigrant who got access to Sandhurst
[25:07.400 --> 25:11.400]  after stowing away on a coach.
[25:11.400 --> 25:17.400]  Fast coming up, loyalists in Northern Ireland make a breakthrough on decommissioning their weapons,
[25:17.400 --> 25:22.400]  and more freedom for the Gurkhas this time in a southern seaside town.
[25:22.400 --> 25:27.400]  Sky News
[25:27.400 --> 25:31.400]  I do watch Sky News a lot, I've got to say get some serious nerves.
[25:31.400 --> 25:36.400]  Sky News, what do you watch Sky News for? I need to know what's going on before anybody else.
[25:36.400 --> 25:52.400]  How should we cheer them? I'm going to put that one of those up for us.
[25:56.400 --> 26:00.400]  At Halifax we think banks should look after their customers.
[26:00.400 --> 26:07.400]  That's why each month we give our reward current account customers £5.
[26:07.400 --> 26:11.400]  It's our way of saying thank you for banking with us.
[26:11.400 --> 26:32.400]  A little extra help from Halifax.

[27:49.400 --> 27:56.400]  This summer, it's a complete journey of exploration, exactly how it happened 130 years ago.
[27:56.400 --> 28:00.400]  One of history's greatest adventures begins again.
[28:00.400 --> 28:02.400]  We're going to be punished by this continent.
[28:02.400 --> 28:03.400]  Four explorers.
[28:03.400 --> 28:05.400]  This is wild Africa.
[28:05.400 --> 28:07.400]  970 miles.
[28:07.400 --> 28:08.400]  There's no turning back.
[28:08.400 --> 28:14.400]  Of hell, Expedition Africa premieres tonight from 8 on History and History HD.
[28:14.400 --> 28:19.400]  It's believed loyalist groups of Northern Ireland have started decommissioning their weapons.
[28:19.400 --> 28:24.400]  They've been under pressure to give up their guns after being set an August deadline by the government.
[28:24.400 --> 28:27.400]  Well, Sky's Vicky Hawthorne is at Hillsborough Castle Forest tonight.
[28:27.400 --> 28:30.400]  A major breakthrough, it seems, Vicky.
[28:30.400 --> 28:37.400]  Yes, indeed. All the indications are that indeed loyalist paramilitary groups have begun decommissioning.
[28:37.400 --> 28:42.400]  I understand that the Ulster Volunteer Force has made the biggest move in decommissioning
[28:42.400 --> 28:48.400]  and the Ulster Defence Association, the UDA, isn't far behind making similar moves.
[28:48.400 --> 28:51.400]  This all came out earlier today.
[28:51.400 --> 28:57.400]  The government, nor the decommissioning body, which was set up to monitor the decommissioning of weapons,
[28:57.400 --> 29:00.400]  have been able to confirm any of this.
[29:00.400 --> 29:04.400]  But the Secretary of State, Sean Woodward, felt that it was obviously significant enough.
[29:04.400 --> 29:07.400]  He was prepared to give a press conference here at Hillsborough Castle,
[29:07.400 --> 29:12.400]  his official residence earlier this afternoon, and this is what he had to say.
[29:12.400 --> 29:15.400]  If these reports were to be confirmed,
[29:15.400 --> 29:21.400]  they would demonstrate a major act of decommissioning by loyalism.
[29:21.400 --> 29:25.400]  And secondly, what they demonstrate, if they are confirmed,
[29:25.400 --> 29:29.400]  is that politics in Northern Ireland is working.
[29:29.400 --> 29:33.400]  All of the armed organisations should follow suit.
[29:33.400 --> 29:38.400]  And I hope that we are into a circumstance where all that is happening.
[29:38.400 --> 29:43.400]  I think it shows that most people, as can be seen in the number of elections which have occurred,
[29:43.400 --> 29:46.400]  have faith in the process.
[29:46.400 --> 29:50.400]  As I say, while this has not been officially confirmed,
[29:50.400 --> 29:55.400]  the general feeling is that there is definitely something afoot with loyalist decommissioning.
[29:55.400 --> 29:57.400]  I put some background to this.
[29:57.400 --> 30:00.400]  The IRA completed decommissioning in 2005,
[30:00.400 --> 30:04.400]  and ever since then the loyalists have been under serious pressure to follow that
[30:04.400 --> 30:08.400]  and to make their significant steps towards decommissioning.
[30:08.400 --> 30:10.400]  Well, it all looks like this is exactly what's happening,
[30:10.400 --> 30:14.400]  and we may have official confirmation of this within the next few days.
[30:14.400 --> 30:16.400]  Vicki, thanks very much indeed.
[30:16.400 --> 30:18.400]  Top stories for you on Live at Five.
[30:18.400 --> 30:21.400]  Now, Sir Fred Goodwin is to hand back a large part of his pension
[30:21.400 --> 30:23.400]  as revealed on Sky News.
[30:23.400 --> 30:27.400]  The disgraced banker will now take home £340,000 a year,
[30:27.400 --> 30:31.400]  but he keeps a multi-million-pound lump sum.
[30:31.400 --> 30:37.400]  Servitive leader Dave Cameron is to pay back almost £1,000 in wrongly claimed expenses.
[30:37.400 --> 30:41.400]  Iran's defeated presidential candidate Mia Hussain Moussavi
[30:41.400 --> 30:45.400]  has appeared on a sixth day of protests in Tehran.
[30:45.400 --> 30:55.400]  This afternoon over Hong Kong, we expect to see a downpour of vintage champagne.
[30:58.400 --> 31:00.400]  Well, our weather currently is still a little bit changeable,
[31:00.400 --> 31:02.400]  but it's getting better by the day,
[31:02.400 --> 31:04.400]  and certainly as we go into next week,
[31:04.400 --> 31:06.400]  how pressure should be taking over
[31:06.400 --> 31:08.400]  and temperatures will be lifting nicely as well.
[31:08.400 --> 31:11.400]  These showers, they're all down to an area of low pressure,
[31:11.400 --> 31:13.400]  close to Scotland there.
[31:13.400 --> 31:15.400]  Those showers have been quite heavy through the course of the day,
[31:15.400 --> 31:17.400]  and indeed, thundery.
[31:17.400 --> 31:19.400]  We've seen one or two down towards the south as well,
[31:19.400 --> 31:21.400]  but in fact, this is where we've got the thicker cloud.
[31:21.400 --> 31:23.400]  You can see elsewhere, better breaks in that cloud,
[31:23.400 --> 31:26.400]  but temperatures have still reached around 20, 21 degrees Celsius,
[31:26.400 --> 31:28.400]  that's 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
[31:28.400 --> 31:30.400]  There's our low centre at the moment,
[31:30.400 --> 31:32.400]  and the rather brisk winds that go with it,
[31:32.400 --> 31:35.400]  and that's going to track its way slowly eastwards overnight,
[31:35.400 --> 31:40.400]  so those showers really tending to make their way across to eastern parts of Scotland
[31:40.400 --> 31:43.400]  to be followed by a few more showers into the north and west
[31:43.400 --> 31:45.400]  first thing on Friday morning.
[31:45.400 --> 31:48.400]  But generally, we should see a lot of that cloud disappear from southern parts,
[31:48.400 --> 31:50.400]  so a brighter sky is to start the day,
[31:50.400 --> 31:52.400]  and of course temperatures will respond to that,
[31:52.400 --> 31:55.400]  and we're looking at temperatures at around 20, 21 degrees Celsius on the day,
[31:55.400 --> 31:57.400]  that's 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
[32:05.400 --> 32:07.400]  Well, more now on the government's apparent U-turn
[32:07.400 --> 32:09.400]  on its plans to hold an inquiry
[32:09.400 --> 32:11.400]  into the Iraq War in private.
[32:11.400 --> 32:13.400]  Some hearings now will be held publicly,
[32:13.400 --> 32:16.400]  after Gordon Brown came under heavy criticism today,
[32:16.400 --> 32:19.400]  not least from former Prime Minister Sir John Major,
[32:19.400 --> 32:22.400]  who described the initial plans as inexplicable,
[32:22.400 --> 32:25.400]  and Sir John joins me now live from Westminster.
[32:25.400 --> 32:28.400]  Sir John Major, why do you think that plan was inexplicable?
[32:28.400 --> 32:33.400]  Well, you have here with the Iraq War something that was very controversial.
[32:33.400 --> 32:36.400]  There are some elements of it that are still not clear to people.
[32:36.400 --> 32:39.400]  What was the war legal? What advice was given to the government?
[32:39.400 --> 32:42.400]  How did they deal with it? They're crucial questions.
[32:42.400 --> 32:44.400]  There are further questions as well.
[32:44.400 --> 32:47.400]  Did we actually go to war on a false premise?
[32:47.400 --> 32:50.400]  What were we told about the weapons of mass destruction?
[32:50.400 --> 32:53.400]  Now, those are issues that are very controversial,
[32:53.400 --> 32:55.400]  and in the government's own interests,
[32:55.400 --> 32:59.400]  we need to make sure that those are settled and put to rest,
[32:59.400 --> 33:02.400]  and holding an inquiry largely behind closed doors,
[33:02.400 --> 33:05.400]  which was what was originally anticipated,
[33:05.400 --> 33:08.400]  would certainly have just given rise to more and more rumours
[33:08.400 --> 33:11.400]  and more and more discontent in the government's own interests.
[33:11.400 --> 33:13.400]  I thought that was a very silly decision.
[33:13.400 --> 33:16.400]  Who ought to decide, then, which elements remain confidential?
[33:16.400 --> 33:18.400]  Which bits remain in camera?
[33:18.400 --> 33:20.400]  Because inevitably there will be evidence,
[33:20.400 --> 33:22.400]  coming from, for instance, senior intelligence sources,
[33:22.400 --> 33:25.400]  which in the national interest ought to stay private.
[33:25.400 --> 33:27.400]  I entirely agree with that.
[33:27.400 --> 33:30.400]  I don't think anyone disagrees with that. Of course there are.
[33:30.400 --> 33:32.400]  But I think the general presumption should be public,
[33:32.400 --> 33:34.400]  that the hearing should be in public,
[33:34.400 --> 33:36.400]  with the hearings closed,
[33:36.400 --> 33:38.400]  when the chairman and the committee judge
[33:38.400 --> 33:40.400]  that it's in the national interest for them to be so.
[33:40.400 --> 33:42.400]  I think they're best placed.
[33:42.400 --> 33:44.400]  They know what questions they're going to ask.
[33:44.400 --> 33:46.400]  They know the responsibilities of the witness,
[33:46.400 --> 33:48.400]  they're cross-examining.
[33:48.400 --> 33:50.400]  So I think they're the people to make the decision.
[33:50.400 --> 33:52.400]  But overall, essentially,
[33:52.400 --> 33:54.400]  the presumption must be that the inquiry is in public.
[33:54.400 --> 33:57.400]  If it is to carry the force with the public,
[33:57.400 --> 33:59.400]  that everyone hopes that it will have.
[33:59.400 --> 34:01.400]  Let us get this matter solved.
[34:01.400 --> 34:04.400]  The current government is a legacy of suspicion
[34:04.400 --> 34:06.400]  hanging over for years,
[34:06.400 --> 34:09.400]  so that next time a future government may be in a position
[34:09.400 --> 34:11.400]  of having to send troops into conflict,
[34:11.400 --> 34:14.400]  everyone knows that what is being done is entirely above board,
[34:14.400 --> 34:16.400]  and the government's word is instinctively
[34:16.400 --> 34:18.400]  and unquestioningly trusted.
[34:18.400 --> 34:21.400]  That's what we must hope will come out of this inquiry.
[34:21.400 --> 34:24.400]  But to ensure that, we first need the inquiry.
[34:24.400 --> 34:27.400]  Is there a danger that if this inquiry is fully public,
[34:27.400 --> 34:29.400]  we effectively offer a licence
[34:29.400 --> 34:31.400]  for grandstanding, for posturing?
[34:31.400 --> 34:33.400]  It becomes more political.
[34:33.400 --> 34:36.400]  Well, I'm not quite sure the sort of witnesses they're going to have,
[34:36.400 --> 34:39.400]  who is actually going to do the posturing and being political.
[34:39.400 --> 34:42.400]  Well, for instance, some of the relatives of those combatants...
[34:42.400 --> 34:45.400]  I don't think the sort of people they're going to be interviewing
[34:45.400 --> 34:47.400]  are going to take that view.
[34:47.400 --> 34:50.400]  If they are, I think the experience of the chairman and the committee
[34:50.400 --> 34:52.400]  will soon cut them down to size.
[34:52.400 --> 34:55.400]  But you have a choice. Even if one or two people postured,
[34:55.400 --> 34:58.400]  is that worse than a large part of the public
[34:58.400 --> 35:01.400]  not being satisfied with the outcome of this inquiry?
[35:01.400 --> 35:03.400]  I would argue not.
[35:03.400 --> 35:05.400]  What is necessary at the end of this inquiry
[35:05.400 --> 35:09.400]  is to put the rest, to rest the suspicions and uncertainties
[35:09.400 --> 35:12.400]  that have lingered about how this war began
[35:12.400 --> 35:14.400]  from the very outset of it.
[35:14.400 --> 35:17.400]  Is there a sense in which the inquiry in becoming public
[35:17.400 --> 35:19.400]  becomes a cathartic exercise
[35:19.400 --> 35:22.400]  for the relatives of those combatants who lost their lives?
[35:22.400 --> 35:25.400]  Well, I think you touch on an extremely important point.
[35:25.400 --> 35:28.400]  I think it is very important for the families and friends
[35:28.400 --> 35:31.400]  of those servicemen who were killed or wounded,
[35:31.400 --> 35:34.400]  in many cases very seriously maimed.
[35:34.400 --> 35:37.400]  I think they need some form of closure.
[35:37.400 --> 35:40.400]  And I think the form of closure, you use the word cathartic.
[35:40.400 --> 35:42.400]  I think I would refer to it as closure.
[35:42.400 --> 35:46.400]  It can best be done by an inquiry that examines the veracities of the war,
[35:46.400 --> 35:48.400]  how it came about, how it was conducted,
[35:48.400 --> 35:51.400]  and finally puts the whole matter to rest.
[35:51.400 --> 35:54.400]  So I think, yes, you're right, it will be cathartic,
[35:54.400 --> 35:56.400]  and I think it will offer closure.
[35:56.400 --> 35:58.400]  And that, I think, is a very important part
[35:58.400 --> 36:01.400]  of the reason for having this inquiry.
[36:01.400 --> 36:04.400]  That closure could come at a tremendous price, couldn't it?
[36:04.400 --> 36:07.400]  I mean, in cost terms, we think of the Bloody Sunday Inquiry.
[36:07.400 --> 36:10.400]  We look at something that's become a very protracted process.
[36:10.400 --> 36:12.400]  It's gone on for an awful long time,
[36:12.400 --> 36:15.400]  and it's cost the taxpayer an enormous amount of money.
[36:15.400 --> 36:17.400]  Well, I don't think we're likely to see a replication
[36:17.400 --> 36:19.400]  of the Bloody Sunday fiasco,
[36:19.400 --> 36:21.400]  which, as you say, went on a very long time.
[36:21.400 --> 36:24.400]  I think the general presumption from the Prime Minister downwards
[36:24.400 --> 36:27.400]  is that this is an inquiry that will proceed quite speedily
[36:27.400 --> 36:29.400]  and report quite speedily.
[36:29.400 --> 36:32.400]  Personally, I regret it didn't begin two years ago
[36:32.400 --> 36:34.400]  when I first advocated that it should.
[36:34.400 --> 36:37.400]  But nonetheless, I don't think it's going to replicate that.
[36:37.400 --> 36:40.400]  The lessons of the Bloody Sunday Inquiry, I think, have been well learned.
[36:40.400 --> 36:42.400]  And how would you characterise, finally,
[36:42.400 --> 36:45.400]  the Prime Minister's handling of this announcement?
[36:45.400 --> 36:47.400]  Well, I'm baffled, to be frank.
[36:47.400 --> 36:50.400]  I'm baffled that it was so unclear to him
[36:50.400 --> 36:53.400]  that it would not meet the government's own purpose
[36:53.400 --> 36:55.400]  if they had this in private.
[36:55.400 --> 36:57.400]  The government's purpose is to settle this
[36:57.400 --> 37:00.400]  and push it to one side for once and all.
[37:00.400 --> 37:03.400]  Having it in private simply wouldn't have done that.
[37:03.400 --> 37:06.400]  And I simply can't begin to imagine how they thought that it would.
[37:06.400 --> 37:08.400]  So, John Major, thank you.
[37:08.400 --> 37:09.400]  Thank you.
[37:09.400 --> 37:11.400]  This is Sky News, coming up for you.
[37:11.400 --> 37:13.400]  Payback time. Geoff Randall, a wife, Fred The Shred,
[37:13.400 --> 37:15.400]  is giving up part of his pension.
[37:15.400 --> 37:20.400]  That's next on Live at Five.
[37:45.400 --> 37:55.400]  What really matters to you?
[37:55.400 --> 37:58.400]  Something that is made with precision and care,
[37:58.400 --> 38:03.400]  which is beautifully designed,
[38:03.400 --> 38:06.400]  but at the same time gives you real value,
[38:06.400 --> 38:08.400]  now and for the future.
[38:08.400 --> 38:12.400]  The I-10, I-20 and I-30 from Highland Eye.
[38:12.400 --> 38:15.400]  True quality matters.
[38:15.400 --> 38:19.400]  With our five-year unlimited mileage warranty.
[38:19.400 --> 38:48.400]  Highland Eye.
[38:50.400 --> 38:53.400]  So, it's reassuring to know that a company
[38:53.400 --> 38:56.400]  that touches so much of the environment
[38:56.400 --> 39:03.400]  is doing everything it can to help preserve it too.
[39:03.400 --> 39:08.400]  On Thursday, 120-1000mg of glucose-mean sulfate tablets
[39:08.400 --> 39:11.400]  would have cost you £15.64 at Superdrug.
[39:11.400 --> 39:14.400]  You could get them for £9.99 at Holland & Barrett.
[39:14.400 --> 39:18.400]  That's £5.65 less.
[39:18.400 --> 39:24.400]  Compare and grab it, Holland & Barrett.
[39:24.400 --> 39:28.400]  Many are considered, but few are chosen.
[39:28.400 --> 39:32.400]  You have an awesome responsibility.
[39:32.400 --> 39:38.400]  To win for the Lions in South Africa is the ultimate.
[39:38.400 --> 39:43.400]  The moment's arriving for the greatest game of your lives.
[39:43.400 --> 39:45.400]  This is your Everest.
[39:45.400 --> 39:48.400]  The Lions be South Africa with HSBC,
[39:48.400 --> 39:52.400]  Saturday at 1, Sky Sports 1 and HD 1.
[39:52.400 --> 39:54.400]  So, as revealed today on Sky News,
[39:54.400 --> 39:58.400]  so Fred Goodwin will now take home a £340,000 a year pension
[39:58.400 --> 40:00.400]  but keeps a multi-million pound lump sum,
[40:00.400 --> 40:02.400]  a story broken by our business presenter,
[40:02.400 --> 40:04.400]  Geoff Randall, who's here to talk about it.
[40:04.400 --> 40:06.400]  Why has he done this, Geoff?
[40:06.400 --> 40:09.400]  Well, look at it from Fred Goodwin's point of view.
[40:09.400 --> 40:13.400]  OK, he had a massive pension, £703,000,
[40:13.400 --> 40:17.400]  but his life and that of his family had become intolerable.
[40:17.400 --> 40:21.400]  He had become the demon figure for financial greed.
[40:21.400 --> 40:25.400]  He had become the personification, really, of the banking collapse.
[40:25.400 --> 40:27.400]  His house had been pelted.
[40:27.400 --> 40:29.400]  His kids had been taken out of school.
[40:29.400 --> 40:31.400]  You know, he'd become a pariah.
[40:31.400 --> 40:32.400]  You cannot go on like that.
[40:32.400 --> 40:34.400]  And I think he had taken advice from lots of people,
[40:34.400 --> 40:36.400]  some professional, some personal,
[40:36.400 --> 40:38.400]  saying a gesture is required
[40:38.400 --> 40:42.400]  and it can't just be a few grand in the Salvation Army kitty.
[40:42.400 --> 40:44.400]  You know, you've got to do something proper.
[40:44.400 --> 40:47.400]  And I think the voices that were talking to Fred
[40:47.400 --> 40:50.400]  always thought that about half would be right.
[40:50.400 --> 40:53.400]  And, you know, in the wash here, it's a slightly complicated deal,
[40:53.400 --> 40:55.400]  but it is about half.
[40:55.400 --> 40:57.400]  He was going to get £703,000.
[40:57.400 --> 40:59.400]  He's now just over £340,000,
[40:59.400 --> 41:02.400]  but he does have the lump sum which he's taken out upfront.
[41:02.400 --> 41:04.400]  We've talked before, haven't we,
[41:04.400 --> 41:06.400]  about how he'd become a bogeyman for politicians
[41:06.400 --> 41:08.400]  and the full weight of the state, in a sense,
[41:08.400 --> 41:10.400]  was bearing down on him as he became this bogeyman figure.
[41:10.400 --> 41:12.400]  But it wasn't just him that was suffering.
[41:12.400 --> 41:14.400]  Our correspondent in Edinburgh today
[41:14.400 --> 41:16.400]  was talking about his two boys in a private school,
[41:16.400 --> 41:18.400]  some of their colleagues at the school
[41:18.400 --> 41:20.400]  and their parents had suffered at RBS.
[41:20.400 --> 41:22.400]  And it was affecting, as you say, his entire family.
[41:22.400 --> 41:24.400]  Completely. And, you know,
[41:24.400 --> 41:26.400]  Fred was obsessed with work,
[41:26.400 --> 41:28.400]  but he does have a family life.
[41:28.400 --> 41:29.400]  He does have a conscience.
[41:29.400 --> 41:30.400]  And this was just intolerable.
[41:30.400 --> 41:32.400]  You cannot go on like this
[41:32.400 --> 41:34.400]  unless you are so hard-hearted,
[41:34.400 --> 41:36.400]  so flinty that you say stuff them all.
[41:36.400 --> 41:38.400]  And clearly he wasn't going to do that.
[41:38.400 --> 41:40.400]  So, Fred, he's only 50.
[41:40.400 --> 41:42.400]  You know, I think he believes that he still
[41:42.400 --> 41:44.400]  has a role to play somewhere in business life.
[41:44.400 --> 41:46.400]  He did not have an opening
[41:46.400 --> 41:48.400]  while this was hanging over him.
[41:48.400 --> 41:50.400]  He had to have closure,
[41:50.400 --> 41:52.400]  as we heard in the previous interview.
[41:52.400 --> 41:54.400]  Closure is very important to problems of this scale.
[41:54.400 --> 41:56.400]  Now, I think there will be closure.
[41:56.400 --> 41:58.400]  The unions will kick up a fuss and you can see why.
[41:58.400 --> 42:00.400]  I'm not saying that their complaints are unjustified,
[42:00.400 --> 42:02.400]  but I think that they will dribble away.
[42:02.400 --> 42:04.400]  The key players in all this,
[42:04.400 --> 42:06.400]  the government, the UKFI,
[42:06.400 --> 42:08.400]  which looks after our investments,
[42:08.400 --> 42:10.400]  the bank itself and, so Fred,
[42:10.400 --> 42:12.400]  I think have done a deal and they will say we'll move on.
[42:12.400 --> 42:14.400]  It's one thing for protesters to stop
[42:14.400 --> 42:16.400]  putting his front window through.
[42:16.400 --> 42:18.400]  It's quite another for serious business people
[42:18.400 --> 42:20.400]  to welcome him onto the board of a big company.
[42:20.400 --> 42:22.400]  I mean, this is after all a man
[42:22.400 --> 42:24.400]  whose pariah status was such
[42:24.400 --> 42:26.400]  that he was effectively blackballed
[42:26.400 --> 42:28.400]  from membership at a well-known golf club.
[42:28.400 --> 42:30.400]  Yes, he was. Well, there is a precedent.
[42:30.400 --> 42:32.400]  I mean, Andy Hornby, who ran H Boss,
[42:32.400 --> 42:34.400]  another bank that all collapsed,
[42:34.400 --> 42:36.400]  he has now been welcomed back
[42:36.400 --> 42:38.400]  as the chief executive of Boots.
[42:38.400 --> 42:40.400]  Not to universal acclaim,
[42:40.400 --> 42:42.400]  but he's got away with it
[42:42.400 --> 42:44.400]  and I don't think he was...
[42:44.400 --> 42:46.400]  He wasn't shredded to use that phrase
[42:46.400 --> 42:48.400]  in the press.
[42:48.400 --> 42:50.400]  Some people said that he was a very good retailer
[42:50.400 --> 42:52.400]  who played at banking and now has gone back to retail.
[42:52.400 --> 42:54.400]  I think there is a big difference.
[42:54.400 --> 42:56.400]  H Boss was never Andy Hornby's bank.
[42:56.400 --> 42:58.400]  He was someone who got out of his debt
[42:58.400 --> 43:00.400]  and was running H Boss.
[43:00.400 --> 43:02.400]  He wasn't inextricably linked
[43:02.400 --> 43:04.400]  with the personality of that bank.
[43:04.400 --> 43:06.400]  Unfortunately for Fred Goodwin,
[43:06.400 --> 43:08.400]  he was linked with RBS.
[43:08.400 --> 43:10.400]  It was Fred's bank. It was his deal.
[43:10.400 --> 43:12.400]  And in that sense, it's going to be harder
[43:12.400 --> 43:14.400]  to find a way back.
[43:14.400 --> 43:16.400]  Jeff, thanks very much indeed.
[43:16.400 --> 43:18.400]  More from Jeff on that story, of course,
[43:18.400 --> 43:20.400]  on his programme tonight, 7.30.
[43:20.400 --> 43:22.400]  After forcing the government to change the rules
[43:22.400 --> 43:24.400]  on settling in the UK last month,
[43:24.400 --> 43:26.400]  the Gherkers have had further cause to celebrate.
[43:26.400 --> 43:28.400]  They were given the freedom of Folkestone in Kent
[43:28.400 --> 43:30.400]  in front of a 10,000-strong crowd.
[43:30.400 --> 43:32.400]  Skye's David Bowden was there.
[43:34.400 --> 43:36.400]  The sun shone brightly
[43:36.400 --> 43:38.400]  and the crowds turned out in droves
[43:38.400 --> 43:40.400]  as the Gherkers were given the freedom
[43:40.400 --> 43:42.400]  of Folkestone.
[43:42.400 --> 43:44.400]  More than 600 men from the 2nd Battalion
[43:44.400 --> 43:46.400]  just back from a gruelling
[43:46.400 --> 43:48.400]  tour of Afghanistan,
[43:48.400 --> 43:50.400]  proudly marched through the seaside town.
[43:50.400 --> 43:52.400]  Fantastic.
[43:52.400 --> 43:54.400]  All children,
[43:54.400 --> 43:56.400]  everything for Folkestone,
[43:56.400 --> 43:58.400]  whatever, all the people here,
[43:58.400 --> 44:00.400]  it's absolutely fantastic.
[44:00.400 --> 44:02.400]  Must make you feel immensely proud.
[44:02.400 --> 44:04.400]  Oh, yes, really, really proud.
[44:04.400 --> 44:06.400]  Yes, really proud.
[44:06.400 --> 44:08.400]  Also there are Gherkers who can no longer march.
[44:08.400 --> 44:10.400]  Their legs blown off
[44:10.400 --> 44:12.400]  by Taliban mines,
[44:12.400 --> 44:14.400]  but their spirit's still strong.
[44:14.400 --> 44:16.400]  I feel very happy and proud
[44:16.400 --> 44:18.400]  that the public supports us
[44:18.400 --> 44:20.400]  so much.
[44:20.400 --> 44:22.400]  I loved it.
[44:22.400 --> 44:24.400]  For the crowd,
[44:24.400 --> 44:26.400]  a chance to say a personal thanks
[44:26.400 --> 44:28.400]  to this unique band of brothers
[44:28.400 --> 44:30.400]  who put their lives on the line
[44:30.400 --> 44:32.400]  not for their own country, but for ours.
[44:32.400 --> 44:34.400]  I've lived in Folkestone all my life
[44:34.400 --> 44:36.400]  and it just gives me such enormous pride
[44:38.400 --> 44:40.400]  to be here.
[44:40.400 --> 44:42.400]  The Gherkers have been with us for what?
[44:42.400 --> 44:44.400]  Two, three hundred years? Marvellous.
[44:44.400 --> 44:46.400]  Absolutely marvellous.
[44:46.400 --> 44:48.400]  I'll tell you what gets you there.
[44:48.400 --> 44:50.400]  Absolutely.
[44:50.400 --> 44:52.400]  For these Gherkers, this is a day of celebration
[44:52.400 --> 44:54.400]  and pride, but also one of sadness.
[44:54.400 --> 44:56.400]  They, like many other units who serve
[44:56.400 --> 44:58.400]  in Afghanistan, have lost comrades
[44:58.400 --> 45:00.400]  in the fight against the Taliban.
[45:00.400 --> 45:02.400]  There'll be no homecoming parade for them.
[45:04.400 --> 45:06.400]  No Gherker event these days, it seems,
[45:06.400 --> 45:08.400]  is complete without an appearance
[45:08.400 --> 45:10.400]  by Joanna Lumley, who's brought
[45:10.400 --> 45:12.400]  the bravery of these Nepalese fighting men
[45:12.400 --> 45:14.400]  to the fore.
[45:14.400 --> 45:16.400]  I think it's just such a sign of respect from our country
[45:16.400 --> 45:18.400]  and I think it's absolutely thrilling.
[45:18.400 --> 45:20.400]  I'm so proud of Folkestone
[45:20.400 --> 45:22.400]  for doing this grand thing, both for the
[45:22.400 --> 45:24.400]  soldiers and for the retired soldiers.
[45:24.400 --> 45:26.400]  I think it means so much
[45:26.400 --> 45:28.400]  and it's really part of, it's a sort of
[45:28.400 --> 45:30.400]  microcosm of what our country wants to say
[45:30.400 --> 45:32.400]  to these Gherkers. You are so welcome.
[45:32.400 --> 45:34.400]  We're so honoured to have you amongst us.
[45:34.400 --> 45:36.400]  It took just
[45:36.400 --> 45:38.400]  a quarter of an hour for the quick-stepping
[45:38.400 --> 45:40.400]  Gherkers to complete the mile and a quarter march
[45:40.400 --> 45:42.400]  through Folkestone, before returning
[45:42.400 --> 45:44.400]  to their barracks to be presented
[45:44.400 --> 45:46.400]  with their campaign medals.
[45:46.400 --> 45:48.400]  For each and every one of them
[45:48.400 --> 45:50.400]  an unforgettable day.
[45:50.400 --> 45:52.400]  For the wives of Corporal Kumar Paan
[45:52.400 --> 45:54.400]  and colour sergeant Krishna Dura
[45:54.400 --> 45:56.400]  the Gherkers who were killed
[45:56.400 --> 45:58.400]  in Afghanistan, the memories
[45:58.400 --> 46:00.400]  will be altogether different.
[46:00.400 --> 46:02.400]  David Bowden Sky News
[46:02.400 --> 46:04.400]  with the Gherkers in Folkestone.
[46:04.400 --> 46:06.400]  Top stories on Live at 5 for you, Sir Fred Goodwin
[46:06.400 --> 46:08.400]  is to hand back a huge part of his
[46:08.400 --> 46:10.400]  pension that's revealed on Sky News.
[46:10.400 --> 46:12.400]  The disgraced banker will now take home
[46:12.400 --> 46:14.400]  £340,000 a year
[46:14.400 --> 46:16.400]  but he keeps a multi-million pound
[46:16.400 --> 46:18.400]  lump sum.
[46:18.400 --> 46:20.400]  The Conservative leader David Cameron
[46:20.400 --> 46:22.400]  is to pay back almost £1,000
[46:22.400 --> 46:24.400]  in wrongly claimed expenses.
[46:24.400 --> 46:26.400]  And Iran's defeated presidential candidate
[46:26.400 --> 46:28.400]  Mir Hussain Musavi has appeared
[46:28.400 --> 46:30.400]  on a sixth day of protests in Tehran.
[46:32.400 --> 46:34.400]  This is Sky News coming up at 6
[46:34.400 --> 46:36.400]  we're live in Salford where Hazel Blears
[46:36.400 --> 46:38.400]  could be deselected
[46:38.400 --> 46:40.400]  as an MP tonight
[46:40.400 --> 46:42.400]  who's rocking the boat.
[46:42.400 --> 46:44.400]  And up next, who's in, who's out of the
[46:44.400 --> 46:49.400]  team to play South Africa?
[46:49.400 --> 46:51.400]  Jeff Hoon is just an art city who's going to step down.
[46:51.400 --> 46:53.400]  There isn't the unity that you're talking about.
[46:53.400 --> 46:55.400]  No, the new Cabinet has not actually, I mean, I know Sky is always
[46:55.400 --> 46:57.400]  at all times very ahead of the games
[46:57.400 --> 47:00.400]  but actually it's not been fully announced yet.
[47:00.400 --> 47:02.400]  I think that it's about to be announced from number two.
[47:05.400 --> 47:07.400]  Just as you've got to prove by an adoption
[47:07.400 --> 47:09.400]  agency doesn't mean you'll get approved by the birth mother.
[47:09.400 --> 47:11.400]  Unfit mother.
[47:11.400 --> 47:12.400]  Musing.
[47:12.400 --> 47:13.400]  A wannabe mother.
[47:13.400 --> 47:15.400]  She's been dying for a kid for three years.
[47:15.400 --> 47:17.400]  And a complete mother.
[47:17.400 --> 47:19.400]  Hey, what are you doing?
[47:19.400 --> 47:20.400]  Baby Barf.
[47:20.400 --> 47:21.400]  You must hate me.
[47:21.400 --> 47:23.400]  If you'd done everything right in your life,
[47:23.400 --> 47:24.400]  I wouldn't be getting a baby.
[47:24.400 --> 47:26.400]  You're a control-seeking narcissist.
[47:26.400 --> 47:28.400]  You're not equipped to handle a real kid
[47:28.400 --> 47:29.400]  that remember the factory second.
[47:29.400 --> 47:32.400]  Our new house, Sunday at 9.
[47:32.400 --> 47:44.400]  Sky One and Sky One HD.
[48:03.400 --> 48:05.400]  Having trouble getting hooked up there, mate?
[48:05.400 --> 48:07.400]  I'm all sixes and sevens today.
[48:07.400 --> 48:08.400]  Got money on my mind.
[48:08.400 --> 48:10.400]  Jane and I don't know where to start.
[48:10.400 --> 48:11.400]  That's simple.
[48:11.400 --> 48:12.400]  Have you tried Ocean?
[48:12.400 --> 48:14.400]  We're refinancing, Bob.
[48:14.400 --> 48:16.400]  Not deep sea fishing.
[48:16.400 --> 48:17.400]  Ocean finance.
[48:17.400 --> 48:19.400]  They've even got a TV channel.
[48:19.400 --> 48:21.400]  So you can look before you try.
[48:24.400 --> 48:25.400]  Hey, love, guess what?
[48:25.400 --> 48:28.400]  Look, Ocean Finance have got their own TV channel.
[48:28.400 --> 48:29.400]  Let's go.
[48:29.400 --> 48:31.400]  Ocean Finance have got their own TV channel.
[48:31.400 --> 48:33.400]  Yeah, figures.
[48:33.400 --> 48:35.400]  Now there's an idea.
[48:40.400 --> 48:43.400]  I need new glasses, but how can I afford them?
[48:43.400 --> 48:45.400]  Hey, just say.
[48:45.400 --> 48:49.400]  How can I keep up with the family's dental check-ups?
[48:49.400 --> 48:51.400]  Hey, just say.
[48:51.400 --> 48:54.400]  Want cash back towards dental optical and other healthcare bills?
[48:54.400 --> 48:56.400]  Hey, just say.
[48:56.400 --> 48:58.400]  Our health cash plans helped spread the cost
[48:58.400 --> 49:00.400]  and started just $2.25 a week.
[49:00.400 --> 49:05.400]  Call now on 0800 085 4321 and get one month free.
[49:05.400 --> 49:09.400]  The new KFC Tex-Mex Rapstar, sour cream,
[49:09.400 --> 49:11.400]  crispy strips, pepper jack cheese,
[49:11.400 --> 49:13.400]  chili salsa, lime nacho crunchies,
[49:13.400 --> 49:38.400]  the KFC Tex-Mex Rapstar.
[49:38.400 --> 49:54.400]  Hang on a minute.
[49:54.400 --> 49:56.400]  Sainsbury's have lowered thousands of prices
[49:56.400 --> 49:59.400]  on big-name brands, so you might need a trolley.
[49:59.400 --> 50:01.400]  Trolley.
[50:06.400 --> 50:08.400]  Dan Lobs here to reflect on the sport,
[50:08.400 --> 50:11.400]  and in particular the fact it's the Lions' first test on Saturday.
[50:11.400 --> 50:13.400]  It's come around quickly.
[50:13.400 --> 50:15.400]  Yeah, they've been out there since the 30th of May.
[50:15.400 --> 50:17.400]  They've had six matches.
[50:17.400 --> 50:19.400]  They've won all six, and the British Norwich Lions
[50:19.400 --> 50:21.400]  have finally named their team to face South Africa
[50:21.400 --> 50:24.400]  for that first test, as Colin was saying, on Saturday.
[50:24.400 --> 50:26.400]  There's the team in full.
[50:26.400 --> 50:28.400]  No real surprises in the selection.
[50:28.400 --> 50:30.400]  The first decision made by coach Ima Geekin
[50:30.400 --> 50:33.400]  he had to make was who to choose in the back row.
[50:33.400 --> 50:37.400]  He went for Tom Croft, David Wallace, and Jamie Heslip.
[50:37.400 --> 50:39.400]  Well, the team consists of six Welshmen,
[50:39.400 --> 50:41.400]  five Irishmen, four Englishmen.
[50:41.400 --> 50:43.400]  No Scots in the 22.
[50:43.400 --> 50:46.400]  This is the first of three tests.
[50:46.400 --> 50:49.400]  The Lions hoping to emulate what they achieved under Ima Geekin
[50:49.400 --> 50:51.400]  back in 1997.
[50:51.400 --> 50:55.400]  After the announcement, the coach explained his selections.
[50:55.400 --> 50:58.400]  When you're playing a test match,
[50:58.400 --> 51:00.400]  I know you'll tell me I've done it in the past,
[51:00.400 --> 51:03.400]  but I think where we could, we wanted to be having players
[51:03.400 --> 51:06.400]  playing in their number one positions.
[51:06.400 --> 51:10.400]  And, you know, that's what we've tried to do.
[51:10.400 --> 51:14.400]  I think we know we'll be playing at a different level on Saturday,
[51:14.400 --> 51:21.400]  and I think it's important that we try and give them that opportunity.
[51:21.400 --> 51:25.400]  Those warm-up games, they've been a fabulous form.
[51:25.400 --> 51:27.400]  They've taken quite a lot of physical stick,
[51:27.400 --> 51:29.400]  particularly the last game, didn't they?
[51:29.400 --> 51:31.400]  They're shaping up well.
[51:31.400 --> 51:33.400]  There were some doubts over a couple of players.
[51:33.400 --> 51:35.400]  They were always expecting a tough encounter,
[51:35.400 --> 51:37.400]  and you would do that going to South Africa
[51:37.400 --> 51:39.400]  and playing those provincial sides,
[51:39.400 --> 51:41.400]  but they've come through magnificently well.
[51:41.400 --> 51:44.400]  Six out of six, but I think it's a step up now, isn't it?
[51:44.400 --> 51:46.400]  It's three tests.
[51:46.400 --> 51:50.400]  This first test really set the tone for the rest of the tour,
[51:50.400 --> 51:53.400]  but fingers crossed for a good performance from the Lions on Saturday.
[51:53.400 --> 51:55.400]  Let's move on to the golf show.
[51:55.400 --> 51:57.400]  It's day one at the U.S. Open,
[51:57.400 --> 52:00.400]  whether, though, as already intervened at the Bethpage black course
[52:00.400 --> 52:02.400]  in upstate New York, players being suspended
[52:02.400 --> 52:04.400]  because the course is waterlogged.
[52:04.400 --> 52:07.400]  Tiger Woods completed six holes before rain start played
[52:07.400 --> 52:10.400]  and had an eventful time defending champion.
[52:10.400 --> 52:14.400]  Hit this wayward tee shot at the par four fifth,
[52:14.400 --> 52:19.400]  which led to a double bogey in the end.
[52:19.400 --> 52:21.400]  But he hit straight back at the next,
[52:21.400 --> 52:24.400]  a birdie three, leaving him one over,
[52:24.400 --> 52:28.400]  two shots off the lead.
[52:28.400 --> 52:31.400]  History was made on Ladies' Day at Royal Ascot
[52:31.400 --> 52:32.400]  in the feature race.
[52:32.400 --> 52:34.400]  The gold cup, the 64 favourite Yates,
[52:34.400 --> 52:38.400]  became the first horse to win the race for a fourth year in a row.
[52:38.400 --> 52:40.400]  The eight-year-old, ridden by Johnny Murta,
[52:40.400 --> 52:44.400]  came home three and a half lengths clear of Padkai at nine to two.
[52:44.400 --> 52:47.400]  Jordy Land at 11 to four was third.
[52:47.400 --> 52:52.400]  A further 15 lengths adrift.
[52:52.400 --> 52:55.400]  South Africa are playing Pakistan in the first semi-final
[52:55.400 --> 52:57.400]  of the world 2020.
[52:57.400 --> 52:59.400]  This one being played at Trent Bridge.
[52:59.400 --> 53:02.400]  This was the first wicket Pakistan won the toss
[53:02.400 --> 53:03.400]  and leapt into bat.
[53:03.400 --> 53:07.400]  Shazab Hassan caught wonderfully well
[53:07.400 --> 53:11.400]  by Vanda Murwa of the bonding of Wayne Parnell for a duck.
[53:11.400 --> 53:13.400]  Cameron Ackmel has also fallen.
[53:13.400 --> 53:16.400]  Ackmel making a quick fire, 23 of just 12 balls.
[53:16.400 --> 53:19.400]  He was caught by Morkle of the bonding of Dale Stain.
[53:19.400 --> 53:22.400]  The latest score, I can tell you, four overs bold.
[53:22.400 --> 53:26.400]  Pakistan are 32 for two.
[53:26.400 --> 53:28.400]  Got to talk football in just a moment,
[53:28.400 --> 53:30.400]  but it's worth mentioning while we're still on the cricket down
[53:30.400 --> 53:32.400]  that the former England paceman, Simon Jones,
[53:32.400 --> 53:35.400]  who of course had such a wonderful ashes in 2005,
[53:35.400 --> 53:38.400]  part of that four very strong bowler attack.
[53:38.400 --> 53:40.400]  He's been ruled out the rest of the domestic season
[53:40.400 --> 53:42.400]  because of this knee injury.
[53:42.400 --> 53:44.400]  I'm guessing it's the recurring knee injury
[53:44.400 --> 53:46.400]  that's frankly blighted such a promising career.
[53:46.400 --> 53:48.400]  Absolutely. He's been played with injury
[53:48.400 --> 53:51.400]  and that particular knee injury for the majority of his career.
[53:51.400 --> 53:54.400]  It's sad actually because I think he's age-wise,
[53:54.400 --> 53:59.400]  times against him, and yes, it's a hard life for him
[53:59.400 --> 54:01.400]  in the old cricket world at the moment.
[54:01.400 --> 54:02.400]  That's a shame.
[54:02.400 --> 54:04.400]  Somebody for whom life has not always been hard,
[54:04.400 --> 54:06.400]  Kevin Keegan, the comeback kid.
[54:06.400 --> 54:08.400]  Could be, yes, on the cards.
[54:08.400 --> 54:10.400]  He might be going back to one of his former clubs
[54:10.400 --> 54:12.400]  as a player, Southampton.
[54:12.400 --> 54:14.400]  He was there back in the early 80s.
[54:14.400 --> 54:16.400]  Saints have had an awful time of late.
[54:16.400 --> 54:18.400]  They've been relegated down to League One
[54:18.400 --> 54:22.400]  and there are reports that Kevin Keegan has linked
[54:22.400 --> 54:24.400]  with the consortium being led by
[54:24.400 --> 54:26.400]  Southampton legend Matt LaTissier,
[54:26.400 --> 54:30.400]  which some suggest will definitely be taking the club over
[54:30.400 --> 54:32.400]  and suggestions would point the finger at Kevin Keegan
[54:32.400 --> 54:34.400]  as becoming the next manager.
[54:34.400 --> 54:36.400]  We'll have to wait and see,
[54:36.400 --> 54:38.400]  but that would be a Keegan return to football perhaps.
[54:38.400 --> 54:39.400]  Watch this space.
[54:39.400 --> 54:40.400]  Thanks very much indeed.
[54:40.400 --> 54:42.400]  This is Sky News coming up at six.
[54:42.400 --> 54:43.400]  Take it back.
[54:43.400 --> 54:45.400]  Fred the Shred finally agrees to hand back
[54:45.400 --> 54:49.400]  almost £350,000 a year in his pension.
[54:49.400 --> 54:51.400]  Plus rallies continuing around
[54:51.400 --> 54:53.400]  over the disputed presidential election.
[54:53.400 --> 54:55.400]  The opposition candidate, Moussavi, joins his supporters
[54:55.400 --> 54:57.400]  and hear the girkers, of course,
[54:57.400 --> 55:00.400]  for more celebrations with a special parade
[55:00.400 --> 55:02.400]  and a special guest.
[55:06.400 --> 55:08.400]  Get great results all around your home
[55:08.400 --> 55:11.400]  when you try Sillit Bang Multi-Power.
[55:11.400 --> 55:13.400]  I used to spend hours removing soap scum,
[55:13.400 --> 55:15.400]  but with Sillit Bang it's a breeze.
[55:15.400 --> 55:17.400]  It also works in the kitchen
[55:17.400 --> 55:19.400]  and gets rid of cooking spills with so little effort.
[55:19.400 --> 55:22.400]  Sillit Bang Grime and Lime Multi-Power.
[55:22.400 --> 55:24.400]  Bang and the dirt is gone.
[55:24.400 --> 55:27.400]  And no more tedious scrubbing with Sillit Bang Grease and Floor.
[55:27.400 --> 55:29.400]  The all-purpose cleaner that gives great results
[55:29.400 --> 55:31.400]  on large surfaces and even when used neat.
[55:31.400 --> 55:33.400]  Sillit Bang Grease and Floor.
[55:33.400 --> 55:35.400]  Bang and the dirt is gone.
[55:35.400 --> 55:37.400]  Ask MD about it.
[55:37.400 --> 55:39.400]  I love the environment.
[55:39.400 --> 55:41.400]  That's why for every tree we use,
[55:41.400 --> 55:45.400]  we replant three triple-valvex of the soft.
[55:47.400 --> 55:49.400]  Hay fever season is here.
[55:49.400 --> 55:51.400]  Thankfully, so are Obtrex itchy eye drops,
[55:51.400 --> 55:55.400]  which quickly soothe and relieve itchy hay fever eyes.
[55:58.400 --> 56:00.400]  There's a car!
[56:00.400 --> 56:02.400]  There's a car!
[56:02.400 --> 56:07.400]  The IKEA sale. It won't last forever.
[56:10.400 --> 56:13.400]  It was an extraordinary time.
[56:13.400 --> 56:16.400]  Rationing.
[56:16.400 --> 56:18.400]  Bonsites.
[56:18.400 --> 56:23.400]  Even the track was made from cinders from people's coal fires.
[56:23.400 --> 56:25.400]  But people ran it.
[56:25.400 --> 56:32.400]  And somehow the impossible happened.
[56:34.400 --> 56:37.400]  No one knew then about climate change.
[56:37.400 --> 56:41.400]  But we can rise to this new challenge in the same way.
[56:41.400 --> 56:43.400]  Together.
[56:43.400 --> 56:45.400]  The Games are awarded to London.
[56:45.400 --> 56:48.400]  London 2012 is our chance to lead the world
[56:48.400 --> 56:50.400]  in the fight against climate change.
[56:50.400 --> 56:52.400]  So on July 10th,
[56:52.400 --> 56:55.400]  EDF Energy are launching Green Britain Day.
[56:58.400 --> 57:01.400]  Join in at teamgreenbritten.org
[57:01.400 --> 57:04.400]  in association with the Eden Project.
[57:06.400 --> 57:08.400]  Where's your white shirt?
[57:08.400 --> 57:09.400]  I'm wearing it.
[57:09.400 --> 57:10.400]  But it's grey.
[57:10.400 --> 57:11.400]  I'm still stained.
[57:11.400 --> 57:12.400]  Don't worry.
[57:12.400 --> 57:14.400]  New vanished crystal white intelligence plus
[57:14.400 --> 57:16.400]  is perfect for removing tough stains
[57:16.400 --> 57:18.400]  and undoing the dullness repeated washing creates.
[57:18.400 --> 57:20.400]  To help stain ensure your laundry,
[57:20.400 --> 57:22.400]  just add a scoop to every wash.
[57:22.400 --> 57:23.400]  Unlike detergent alone,
[57:23.400 --> 57:25.400]  it stains seeking technology finds
[57:25.400 --> 57:27.400]  and helps remove tough stains like this strawberry.
[57:27.400 --> 57:28.400]  See?
[57:28.400 --> 57:29.400]  Stains gone.
[57:29.400 --> 57:31.400]  And much whiter too.
[57:31.400 --> 57:33.400]  Game set and match to vanish.
[57:33.400 --> 57:35.400]  Trust Pink, forget stains.
[57:36.400 --> 57:39.400]  Imagine the ultimate music festival.
[57:39.400 --> 57:40.400]  No mud.
[57:40.400 --> 57:41.400]  No camping.
[57:41.400 --> 57:43.400]  No portaloos.
[57:43.400 --> 57:45.400]  And a dream lineup.
[57:45.400 --> 57:46.400]  The Ho.
[57:46.400 --> 57:48.400]  Neil Young.
[57:48.400 --> 57:49.400]  Johnny Cash.
[57:49.400 --> 57:50.400]  Elvis.
[57:50.400 --> 57:52.400]  The Rolling Stones.
[57:52.400 --> 57:53.400]  Hendricks.
[57:53.400 --> 57:54.400]  Bob Marley.
[57:54.400 --> 57:55.400]  And many more.
[57:55.400 --> 57:59.400]  A weekend of awe-inspiring back-to-back performances.
[57:59.400 --> 58:02.400]  Sulphur Fest starts Friday 26th of June
[58:02.400 --> 58:05.400]  on Sky Arts One and Sky Arts One HD.
[58:05.400 --> 58:07.400]  Coming up on Sky News at six,
[58:07.400 --> 58:09.400]  all the big stories tonight including Goodwin gives in.
[58:09.400 --> 58:11.400]  The former boss of RBS changes his mind
[58:11.400 --> 58:13.400]  on his pension payout.
[58:13.400 --> 58:15.400]  A payback for Cameron as the conservative leader
[58:15.400 --> 58:18.400]  fails to escape the expenses scandal.
[58:18.400 --> 58:21.400]  And royal competition as the Princess William and Harry
[58:21.400 --> 58:24.400]  take on pilot training together.
[58:27.400 --> 58:29.400]  This afternoon over Hong Kong,
[58:29.400 --> 58:33.400]  we expect to see a downpour of vintage champagne.
[58:36.400 --> 58:37.400]  Hello, though.
[58:37.400 --> 58:39.400]  We're going to see a gradual improvement in the weather
[58:39.400 --> 58:40.400]  over the weekend.
[58:40.400 --> 58:41.400]  And once the high pressure builds,
[58:41.400 --> 58:43.400]  it should stay with us through much of next week.
[58:43.400 --> 58:45.400]  But certainly today, we've seen showers.
[58:45.400 --> 58:47.400]  Some of those showers really have been quite sharp,
[58:47.400 --> 58:49.400]  particularly up towards the north and the west.
[58:49.400 --> 58:50.400]  Some rumbles of thunder.
[58:50.400 --> 58:52.400]  Some more prolonged periods of rain.
[58:52.400 --> 58:53.400]  And down towards the south,
[58:53.400 --> 58:55.400]  it's been rather disappointingly cloudy.
[58:55.400 --> 58:57.400]  While it certainly goes through the rest of this evening
[58:57.400 --> 58:59.400]  and overnight, it expects some further heavy showers.
[58:59.400 --> 59:01.400]  These mainly from parts of north Wales,
[59:01.400 --> 59:03.400]  north Midlands, northwards.
[59:03.400 --> 59:05.400]  It's that area of low pressure up towards the northwest,
[59:05.400 --> 59:08.400]  which is going to pass eastwards across parts of Scotland.
[59:08.400 --> 59:10.400]  And that's going to take the worst of the showers with it.
[59:10.400 --> 59:12.400]  But that's going to happen overnight elsewhere.
[59:12.400 --> 59:14.400]  We should lose some of the cloud from the south.
[59:14.400 --> 59:16.400]  And certainly Friday morning looks like being a fairly bright affair.
[59:16.400 --> 59:19.400]  Eventually temperatures reaching around 21 degrees Celsius.
[59:19.400 --> 59:21.400]  That's 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
[59:21.400 --> 59:23.400]  But the general feel on the day is going to be quite breezy.
[59:23.400 --> 59:26.400]  We're going to keep those winds quite brisk.
[59:26.400 --> 59:28.400]  One or two isolated showers around.
[59:28.400 --> 59:31.400]  But the majority following on in the wake of that low pressure area
[59:31.400 --> 59:33.400]  into northern and western areas.
[59:33.400 --> 59:36.400]  And eventually, those will most likely go down towards central parts
[59:36.400 --> 59:38.400]  and eventually out towards the southeast.
[59:38.400 --> 59:40.400]  So as far as Saturday's concerned,
[59:40.400 --> 59:42.400]  temperatures lifting that little bit down in the south,
[59:42.400 --> 59:46.400]  a little more sunshine and much, much fewer showers.
