[00:00.000 --> 00:07.000]  Tonight live at five, shredding his pension,
[00:07.000 --> 00:10.000]  disgraced banker Sir Fred Goodwin finally agrees to hand back almost
[00:10.000 --> 00:18.000]  £350,000 a year. It was right that he paid back some of that money.
[00:18.000 --> 00:23.000]  This was the discretionary element that was agreed by the Royal Bank of
[00:23.000 --> 00:27.000]  Scotland before he left. Also tonight Westminster blackout anger as MPs
[00:27.000 --> 00:32.000]  expenses are published but with crucial details covered up. Hot and
[00:32.000 --> 00:35.000]  bothered, the bleakest forecast yet on how climate change will affect
[00:35.000 --> 00:41.000]  every aspect of our daily lives. Musavi leads the morning in Iran as
[00:41.000 --> 00:46.000]  tens of thousands of his supporters continue to defy the president.
[00:46.000 --> 00:51.000]  Brotherly banter, the royal princes on living and flying with each other.
[00:51.000 --> 00:55.000]  It is still hard work but I'm better than William so it's fine.
[00:55.000 --> 00:59.000]  I cook him and feed him basically every day. I think he's done rather well.
[00:59.000 --> 01:04.000]  First and last time we'll be living together. And so proud, hundreds lie in
[01:04.000 --> 01:10.000]  the streets as the Gurkhas are awarded the freedom of Folkestone.
[01:10.000 --> 01:19.000]  Live from the Sky News Centre, this is Live at Five with Colin Brazier.
[01:19.000 --> 01:23.000]  A very good evening to you, our top story Live at Five. Payback time for
[01:23.000 --> 01:27.000]  Fred the Shred. After months of public and political pressure, Sir
[01:27.000 --> 01:31.000]  Fred Goodwin is to hand back a huge part of his pension. As revealed on
[01:31.000 --> 01:36.000]  Sky News, the disgraced banker will now take home £340,000 a year but
[01:36.000 --> 01:40.000]  keeps a multi-million pound lump sum. The Prime Minister welcomed his
[01:40.000 --> 01:44.000]  decision saying he'd done the right thing. Our business correspondent
[01:44.000 --> 01:50.000]  Ursula Errington reports. He never gave an inch in the banking world. A
[01:50.000 --> 01:54.000]  tough negotiator, he earned the name Fred the Shred. But with negotiations
[01:54.000 --> 01:59.000]  now over, Sir Fred Goodwin's lost more than half of his RBS pension. The
[01:59.000 --> 02:03.000]  city's reeling at the news after months of wrangling between the bank, Sir
[02:03.000 --> 02:09.000]  Fred and the government. I think it was right that he paid back this sum of
[02:09.000 --> 02:14.000]  money. This was the discretionary element that was agreed by the Royal
[02:14.000 --> 02:18.000]  Bank of Scotland before he left. I think for the future it is really
[02:18.000 --> 02:23.000]  important now that we have proper systems of bonus and reward that
[02:23.000 --> 02:28.000]  reflect not short-term deals but reflect long-term success. In a
[02:28.000 --> 02:31.000]  statement, the bank stressed the former chief executive handed back the
[02:31.000 --> 02:35.000]  money voluntarily, adding this pension arrangement became a symbolic issue
[02:35.000 --> 02:39.000]  and the focus of unprecedented media and political attention. It had to be
[02:39.000 --> 02:43.000]  fixed to allow everyone to focus our energies where they should be on
[02:43.000 --> 02:47.000]  getting the company back to health. When this scandal first emerged in
[02:47.000 --> 02:53.000]  February, it was thought Sir Fred's pension was £693,000 a year. But that
[02:53.000 --> 02:59.000]  figure was soon revised upwards to £703,000. RBS says Sir Fred took a lump
[02:59.000 --> 03:06.000]  sum payment of £2.7 million in February, shrinking his annual pension to
[03:06.000 --> 03:11.000]  £550,000. Now it's been revealed Goodwin is to take a further reduced
[03:11.000 --> 03:17.000]  pension of £342,500. But it's still a big cost to the bank. The pension pot
[03:17.000 --> 03:23.000]  to fund that is around £11.9 million. He's not going to starve, is he? He's
[03:23.000 --> 03:28.000]  on a rather lucrative pension by anyone's standards, a footballer-style
[03:28.000 --> 03:33.000]  pension anyway, so I don't imagine he's going to miss the money. But it allows
[03:33.000 --> 03:38.000]  him at least to rehabilitate himself somewhat in this country, to walk
[03:38.000 --> 03:43.000]  around and not be shunned. But pressure for a pension payback was growing even
[03:43.000 --> 03:47.000]  before Sir Fred had to answer to the Treasury Select Committee to take
[03:47.000 --> 03:51.000]  responsibility for his part in bringing a British bank to the brink. There's a
[03:51.000 --> 03:56.000]  profound and unqualified apology for all of the distress that has been caused,
[03:56.000 --> 04:00.000]  and I would not wish there to be any doubt about that. Days later, the Prime
[04:00.000 --> 04:04.000]  Minister said his lawyers were going after the banker's pension. I still
[04:04.000 --> 04:08.000]  think it would be better if Sir Fred waived the pension entitlement himself,
[04:08.000 --> 04:11.000]  but if that's not to be done, we will continue to seek the legal advice that
[04:11.000 --> 04:16.000]  is necessary. An angry Sir Fred hit back in the Telegraph newspaper, saying
[04:16.000 --> 04:20.000]  City Minister Lord Miners was well aware of his pension arrangements and had
[04:20.000 --> 04:26.000]  OK'd them. Public fury over the whole financial meltdown focused on Sir Fred.
[04:26.000 --> 04:30.000]  Castigated as a bad banker, his children bullied, he'd already gone to
[04:30.000 --> 04:34.000]  ground somewhere in Europe when his Edinburgh home was vandalised. An
[04:34.000 --> 04:39.000]  internal inquiry at RBS has found Sir Fred didn't behave illegally or
[04:39.000 --> 04:43.000]  immorally as chief executive of the bank. That vindication will be
[04:43.000 --> 04:47.000]  important if he's to return to public life. The question now is whether
[04:47.000 --> 04:53.000]  conceding £4.7 million can buy the public's forgiveness. Well, Ursula
[04:53.000 --> 04:56.000]  Jones is now live from RBS headquarters in central London. Ursula, he
[04:56.000 --> 05:02.000]  still won't be short of ready cash. He won't be short of any money, no,
[05:02.000 --> 05:05.000]  but it would seem that this is something of a win-win solution all
[05:05.000 --> 05:08.000]  round. RBS gets some of their money back. The Government can now say
[05:08.000 --> 05:11.000]  that they said they were going to go after part of this pension pot and
[05:11.000 --> 05:15.000]  they have delivered on that, avoiding a very costly court case, no
[05:15.000 --> 05:19.000]  doubt. And Sir Fred himself may now have done enough to be able to re-enter
[05:19.000 --> 05:22.000]  public life. And I think that's the crucial factor here. Whatever the
[05:22.000 --> 05:26.000]  extent to which you may blame Sir Fred Goodwin for the woes of RBS, he
[05:26.000 --> 05:30.000]  does have a young family who is said to have been very traumatised by
[05:30.000 --> 05:33.000]  the extent of the public anger that's been vented towards them. And it's
[05:33.000 --> 05:36.000]  said that that is perhaps one of the most important factors that brought
[05:36.000 --> 05:40.000]  him to the negotiating table to do this deal. He's made the deal. Why do
[05:40.000 --> 05:46.000]  you think, though, this gesture has come now at this time? Well, they
[05:46.000 --> 05:49.000]  were very clear today that Sir Fred Goodwin was only really willing to
[05:49.000 --> 05:53.000]  push forward these negotiations once RBS had concluded their own
[05:53.000 --> 05:57.000]  internal investigation into his conduct. They have finished that
[05:57.000 --> 06:01.000]  investigation. They said he did nothing illegal, nothing immoral, and
[06:01.000 --> 06:05.000]  so then he was very willing to sort out some kind of settlement. But he
[06:05.000 --> 06:09.000]  wouldn't do it before that, just in case he was ever accused of trying
[06:09.000 --> 06:13.000]  to buy his way out of being investigated. So it was important for
[06:13.000 --> 06:16.000]  him to get his name cleared. He'll be hoping with this gesture that now
[06:16.000 --> 06:19.000]  he can move on. Ursula, thanks very much. And later this hour I'll be
[06:19.000 --> 06:22.000]  speaking to our business presenter, Jeff Randall, he it was who broke
[06:22.000 --> 06:27.000]  that story. That's coming up live at half past five. David Cameron has
[06:27.000 --> 06:31.000]  agreed to pay back nearly £1,000 in wrongly claimed expenses. The
[06:31.000 --> 06:35.000]  Conservative leader's decision comes on the day details of all MPs'
[06:35.000 --> 06:40.000]  expenses were made public but with key information missing. Our political
[06:40.000 --> 06:46.000]  correspondent, Glen O'Glaser, reports. Publishing MPs' expenses in full
[06:46.000 --> 06:51.000]  for the last four years was supposed to restore our trust in politics and
[06:51.000 --> 06:56.000]  politicians. But now we've seen the official paperwork, huge sections
[06:56.000 --> 07:01.000]  blacked out, information kept secret. Hardly transparent, is it? Without
[07:01.000 --> 07:06.000]  the Daily Telegraph's disclosures we would have had a lot of small items
[07:06.000 --> 07:10.000]  about individual items and expenditure, but no information about the main
[07:10.000 --> 07:15.000]  scandal, which is the flipping of second homes. But apparently there
[07:15.000 --> 07:19.000]  are very good reasons why we can't see the information we'd like to. Every
[07:19.000 --> 07:24.000]  blacked out piece, and we anticipated this would be the story, covers data
[07:24.000 --> 07:28.000]  protection, covers security, covers bank account numbers, covers credit
[07:28.000 --> 07:33.000]  card numbers, covers personal addresses, covers patterns of behaviour,
[07:33.000 --> 07:37.000]  covers suppliers who are covered by the Data Protection Act, and if we were
[07:37.000 --> 07:41.000]  to publish their information we would be in breach of that and they could sue
[07:41.000 --> 07:45.000]  the House of Commons. So far 20 MPs have said they're going to stand down
[07:45.000 --> 07:49.000]  because of expenses, but they may not have had to if all we knew was from
[07:49.000 --> 07:53.000]  the claims published today. Take the latest resignation of Treasury
[07:53.000 --> 07:57.000]  Minister Kitty Usher. She avoided paying up to £17,000 in capital gains
[07:57.000 --> 08:02.000]  tax, but the change of address has been blocked out in the Commons receipt.
[08:02.000 --> 08:07.000]  Margaret Moran spent £22,500 to treat dry rot at a property 100 miles from
[08:07.000 --> 08:11.000]  her constituency, but the address she was making claims on was completely
[08:11.000 --> 08:16.000]  blacked out. The £2,000 that Douglas Hogg claimed for cleaning out his
[08:16.000 --> 08:21.000]  moat wasn't even included. And as the published Commons receipts only show
[08:21.000 --> 08:26.000]  what was approved, we would be none the wiser that Gosforth MP Sir Peter
[08:26.000 --> 08:32.000]  Rogers tried to claim £1,600 for a duck house. Nor would we have known
[08:32.000 --> 08:37.000]  about Hazel Blears, who stumped up £13,000 in capital gains tax before
[08:37.000 --> 08:41.000]  resigning from the Government. There's a strong case, if not for the whole
[08:41.000 --> 08:44.000]  address being published, for I understand the reasons for that, at least
[08:44.000 --> 08:47.000]  the postcode being published, so people can see their MP for Luton's living
[08:47.000 --> 08:52.000]  in Southampton. The Government maintains the system is being cleaned up.
[08:52.000 --> 08:57.000]  We're going to introduce legislation very, very shortly that will completely
[08:57.000 --> 09:02.000]  make the whole question of expenses run independently of the House of Commons,
[09:02.000 --> 09:06.000]  with independent scrutiny, independent setting of the rules. I think that
[09:06.000 --> 09:10.000]  will lead to much more openness and will be far, far better in the future.
[09:10.000 --> 09:14.000]  From the Prime Minister down, MPs may feel they need their hard hats right
[09:14.000 --> 09:19.000]  now. If all details of MPs' expenses were revealed, few doubt that even
[09:19.000 --> 09:23.000]  more of them would be forced to stand down. The Fees Office operates out
[09:23.000 --> 09:26.000]  of this innocuous, rather anonymous building across the road from the
[09:26.000 --> 09:30.000]  House of Commons. It's here, if you were allowed in, that you'd find those
[09:30.000 --> 09:34.000]  officials who approved all those MPs' expenses and even, according to some
[09:34.000 --> 09:39.000]  MPs, encouraged them to overclaim. And yet they appear to operate in a
[09:39.000 --> 09:44.000]  culture of secrecy, revealing as little information as possible. More MPs
[09:44.000 --> 09:49.000]  are paying back money, including Conservative leader David Cameron, not
[09:49.000 --> 09:53.000]  only for that notorious wisteria, but also for mortgage interest payments
[09:53.000 --> 09:58.000]  and gas, electricity and phone bills. One thing we have learnt is that
[09:58.000 --> 10:03.000]  Shadow Chancellor George Osborne claimed £47 for two DVDs of one of
[10:03.000 --> 10:09.000]  his own speeches. The subject of the speech, value for taxpayers' money.
[10:09.000 --> 10:14.000]  Glenn O'Glaser, Sky News, Westminster. Our chief political correspondent
[10:14.000 --> 10:19.000]  John Craig. Mr Cameron says this was an inadvertent error. Well, it's
[10:19.000 --> 10:23.000]  small change, of course, compared with Fred Shred's gesture, but it is a
[10:23.000 --> 10:28.000]  gesture. Earlier this week Mr Cameron told a meeting of Tory MPs he was
[10:28.000 --> 10:32.000]  going to pay some money back. Now we know exactly what. He is trying to
[10:32.000 --> 10:37.000]  lead by example. At that meeting he had with his MPs, there were
[10:37.000 --> 10:41.000]  grumbles and this talk of a letter circulating, accusing him of a
[10:41.000 --> 10:45.000]  Stalinist tactics, of getting tough on his back benches and not so tough
[10:45.000 --> 10:49.000]  on some of his own shadow cabinet members. This is what Mr Cameron told
[10:49.000 --> 10:53.000]  us just a very short time ago about what he is going to do.
[11:01.000 --> 11:04.000]  John, apologies to our viewers, got some sound problems there. We'll try
[11:04.000 --> 11:07.000]  to get that fixed and replay it later this hour, but the expenses with
[11:07.000 --> 11:10.000]  details blacked out, that's really grist of the mill for those who
[11:10.000 --> 11:15.000]  think MPs really had something to hide. Well, the Telegraph will say,
[11:15.000 --> 11:18.000]  and in fact they are saying, if it hadn't been for them, if it hadn't
[11:18.000 --> 11:21.000]  been for the fact that they knew the addresses, we wouldn't have known
[11:21.000 --> 11:24.000]  about all these flippers. We wouldn't have known, for example, about
[11:24.000 --> 11:28.000]  Kitty Usher, who quit last night. She might have got away with it, so
[11:28.000 --> 11:32.000]  the claim goes. What we have learned today really is a lot of rather
[11:32.000 --> 11:36.000]  colourful and interesting fun claims, if you like, besides George
[11:36.000 --> 11:40.000]  Osborne and his DVDs. We have got some quite interesting ones from
[11:40.000 --> 11:44.000]  Labour ministers, latex gloves, Douglas Alexander, a wine rack,
[11:44.000 --> 11:48.000]  Jim Knight, corkscrew and glasses, also Christmas cards, all that sort
[11:48.000 --> 11:53.000]  of stuff. On the Tory side, a massive mobile phone bill from Liam
[11:53.000 --> 11:57.000]  Fox, Chris Grayling, three televisions and three shredders. So
[11:57.000 --> 12:01.000]  you might say they are all a bit trivial. The serious point is that
[12:01.000 --> 12:04.000]  there has been a big battle here to try and keep this secret and there
[12:04.000 --> 12:08.000]  are still allegations of a cover-up. Mr Osborne, besides being lampooned
[12:08.000 --> 12:13.000]  over his DVDs, is facing a complaint by Labour, the Labour constituency
[12:13.000 --> 12:18.000]  chairman in Tatton, his constituency, to the Parliamentary
[12:18.000 --> 12:21.000]  Commissioner for Standards. He has told us tonight that he has
[12:21.000 --> 12:24.000]  received a complaint. He is looking at it, deciding what to do,
[12:24.000 --> 12:27.000]  talking to Mr Osborne first. So a lot of allegations flying around
[12:27.000 --> 12:32.000]  between one party and another here, serious allegations of sleaze in
[12:32.000 --> 12:36.000]  some cases, some pretty trivial stuff we learn today and perhaps some
[12:36.000 --> 12:40.000]  of the more serious stuff has been covered up. John, thanks very much.
[12:40.000 --> 12:43.000]  Former Prime Minister Sir John Major has described the government's
[12:43.000 --> 12:48.000]  decision to keep an inquiry on the Iraq war private as inexplicable.
[12:48.000 --> 12:52.000]  He said the findings risk being denounced as a whitewash. After a day
[12:52.000 --> 12:55.000]  of heavy criticism, Gordon Brown has been forced into a U-turn and some
[12:55.000 --> 12:59.000]  hearings will now be made public. The former Cabinet Minister, Lord
[12:59.000 --> 13:02.000]  Butler, said the Prime Minister had not been acting in the interests of
[13:02.000 --> 13:06.000]  the public, at least not initially. He is in our Westminster studio as
[13:06.000 --> 13:09.000]  you see. Lord Butler, thank you very much indeed for joining us this
[13:09.000 --> 13:12.000]  evening. You say the government has effectively been acting in the
[13:12.000 --> 13:15.000]  political rather than national interest. That is a serious accusation.
[13:15.000 --> 13:19.000]  Why do you make it? You can see that it is in the government's political
[13:19.000 --> 13:24.000]  interest that as little should come out in public about the war in
[13:24.000 --> 13:29.000]  Iraq between now and the general election, and one can't help feeling
[13:29.000 --> 13:32.000]  that the form of the inquiry has been dictated more by that
[13:32.000 --> 13:37.000]  consideration than the national consideration of purging the
[13:37.000 --> 13:41.000]  mistrust that people feel about the decisions to go to war. What do you
[13:41.000 --> 13:44.000]  say to those who argue and point to the template of the Franks
[13:44.000 --> 13:48.000]  committee that looked into the Falklands war, which said, look, when
[13:48.000 --> 13:52.000]  you have got sensitive intelligence evidence, some of that has to be in
[13:52.000 --> 13:57.000]  camera, it has to be confidential? Some of it I think does have to be
[13:57.000 --> 14:02.000]  in camera, but of course my review published all the intelligence
[14:02.000 --> 14:07.000]  assessments that the ministers received. I think there are aspects
[14:07.000 --> 14:11.000]  of discussions with the Americans that ought to be heard in camera, and
[14:11.000 --> 14:14.000]  I think that there may be some people who will only be willing to give
[14:14.000 --> 14:18.000]  evidence in camera, but I think the presumption ought to be that the
[14:18.000 --> 14:23.000]  hearings are as much in public as they can be, to try and show the
[14:23.000 --> 14:28.000]  public that the government is not trying to conceal things. There is a
[14:28.000 --> 14:32.000]  suggestion perhaps that what is cathartic for the relatives of those
[14:32.000 --> 14:36.000]  who died in fighting ought to be a guiding principle. Some might say
[14:36.000 --> 14:39.000]  that is not really the way that we ought to be looking at this. We ought
[14:39.000 --> 14:42.000]  not to be looking at it as a cathartic exercise for those who are perhaps
[14:42.000 --> 14:46.000]  still grieving. I think there are two functions of the inquiry. One is to
[14:46.000 --> 14:49.000]  draw policy conclusions, the policy lessons, and there is certainly a
[14:49.000 --> 14:53.000]  lot to be learnt from the Iraq experience, and that I think that the
[14:53.000 --> 14:57.000]  bodies that have been set up is well qualified to do. But I think that
[14:57.000 --> 15:00.000]  it is not just the relatives, it certainly includes the relatives.
[15:00.000 --> 15:05.000]  There are very many people who feel that they were misled, maybe even
[15:05.000 --> 15:09.000]  deceived by the government about decisions for going to war, and that
[15:09.000 --> 15:14.000]  is a feeling I think that, again, the government has got to deal with.
[15:14.000 --> 15:19.000]  It is in the public interest that that boil should be lanced. The more
[15:19.000 --> 15:23.000]  public the inquiry becomes, the more grandstanding some say there will
[15:23.000 --> 15:27.000]  be. Is that a danger we think perhaps maybe about the Bloody Sunday
[15:27.000 --> 15:31.000]  inquiry and how long that has taken, how much it has cost? I think the
[15:31.000 --> 15:35.000]  Bloody Sunday is a little bit of a bogeyman, if I may say so. I don't
[15:35.000 --> 15:40.000]  think all inquiries have to be like Bloody Sunday. I think that as far
[15:40.000 --> 15:47.000]  as the evidence of the military, of the intelligence chiefs, indeed of
[15:47.000 --> 15:52.000]  the diplomats, I don't think there is much ground for grandstanding there,
[15:52.000 --> 15:56.000]  and I don't think if you look at previous inquiries, one sees much
[15:56.000 --> 15:59.000]  evidence of grandstanding. Maybe not grandstanding, but certainly a
[15:59.000 --> 16:05.000]  lawyer's paradise. Well, yes, but if people need to be protected by
[16:05.000 --> 16:10.000]  lawyers' advice, they need to be protected in a private inquiry as
[16:10.000 --> 16:13.000]  much as they do in a public inquiry. So I think that is not an essential
[16:13.000 --> 16:16.000]  difference between a public and a private inquiry. Lord Butler, thanks
[16:16.000 --> 16:20.000]  very much. I will be speaking to the former Prime Minister, Sir John
[16:20.000 --> 16:24.000]  Major, later this hour. That is coming up at around about 5.30. Scientists
[16:24.000 --> 16:29.000]  have made the bleakest assessment yet of the effect climate change will
[16:29.000 --> 16:33.000]  have on the UK. They warn that rising temperatures and more extreme
[16:33.000 --> 16:39.000]  weather events will change all our daily lives.
[16:39.000 --> 16:44.000]  Thanks, Colin. Scientists used a supercomputer to model different
[16:44.000 --> 16:48.000]  outcomes and its bad news, much more serious than we previously
[16:48.000 --> 16:53.000]  thought. If we don't cut carbon emissions, the worst-case scenario is
[16:53.000 --> 16:58.000]  an average summer temperature rise of 6 degrees by 2080. So what would
[16:58.000 --> 17:03.000]  that feel like? Well, in London, summer temperatures would soar to 40
[17:03.000 --> 17:08.000]  degrees. To put that in perspective, the 2003 heat wave saw temperatures
[17:08.000 --> 17:13.000]  of 2 degrees above average, killing 2,000 people here and 70,000 across
[17:13.000 --> 17:18.000]  Europe. With the heat could come more skin cancers, infectious diseases
[17:18.000 --> 17:24.000]  like malaria and respiratory problems like bronchitis and emphysema. Sea
[17:24.000 --> 17:29.000]  levels could also rise by 36cm, putting hundreds of thousands of homes
[17:29.000 --> 17:34.000]  at risk. In the north, winters will be wetter and we'll see more storms.
[17:34.000 --> 17:39.000]  But with 20% less rain in some areas, farmers could face crop failures
[17:39.000 --> 17:44.000]  and drought. Those are the predictions for the future, so what's Britain
[17:44.000 --> 17:49.000]  doing to face the heat? If we don't cut carbon emissions, even the
[17:49.000 --> 17:54.000]  best-case scenarios will bring more killer summers, more disastrous
[17:54.000 --> 17:59.000]  floods and creeping sea levels.
[17:59.000 --> 18:04.000]  Today, the Prime Minister visited the Thames Barrier, built to protect
[18:04.000 --> 18:09.000]  London from floods in the 1950s. The message is that climate change is
[18:09.000 --> 18:14.000]  inevitable and we have to get ready for it. We're surrounded by the sea.
[18:14.000 --> 18:19.000]  We've got a lot of experience of dealing with it. We've invested a lot of money
[18:19.000 --> 18:23.000]  in flood defence. We've doubled the spending, so more homes are protected now
[18:23.000 --> 18:28.000]  than was the case a decade ago, but we've got to prepare for the future that's coming as well.
[18:28.000 --> 18:33.000]  At Plumpton College near Lewes, they're making the best of rising temperatures,
[18:33.000 --> 18:38.000]  growing grapes and retraining local farmers to do the same.
[18:38.000 --> 18:43.000]  Two degrees hotter, then I think we're really in the champagne sort of climate.
[18:43.000 --> 18:48.000]  We've got some really big plantations on the chalky slopes in Kent and Surrey and
[18:48.000 --> 18:53.000]  Hampshire, even Dorset, and they'll be producing some wonderful wines.
[18:53.000 --> 18:58.000]  But for most of Britain, there's nothing to celebrate in today's report.
[18:58.000 --> 19:03.000]  To cope, the environment secretaries announced lots of new measures.
[19:03.000 --> 19:08.000]  There are contingency plans in hospitals to deal with heat waves and changes in farming practices.
[19:08.000 --> 19:13.000]  In fact, all government departments have been ordered to come up with
[19:13.000 --> 19:18.000]  adaptation plans. But what really needs to change is carbon emissions.
[19:18.000 --> 19:23.000]  The government's aiming to cut them by a third by 2020. If we can't do that,
[19:23.000 --> 19:28.000]  it's going to get a lot warmer a lot sooner than we'd thought.
[19:28.000 --> 19:33.000]  A journalist has won the right to withhold material about the real IRA from police in Northern Ireland.
[19:33.000 --> 19:38.000]  A judge ruled that Suzanne Breen's life would be endangered if she gave
[19:38.000 --> 19:43.000]  the authorities information on the killings of two British soldiers in March.
[19:43.000 --> 19:48.000]  Criminal trials to be heard without a jury for the first time.
[19:48.000 --> 19:53.000]  The Court of Appeal made the ruling saying there was a significant danger of jury tampering.
[19:53.000 --> 19:58.000]  Four people are facing charges after an armed attempt to steal £10 million from a warehouse
[19:58.000 --> 20:03.000]  at Heathrow Airport.
[20:03.000 --> 20:08.000]  To have a routine operation tomorrow to insert a pin into her broken arm, the 83-year-old has been recovering in hospital for a week
[20:08.000 --> 20:13.000]  after falling over at home.
[20:13.000 --> 20:18.000]  Iran's defeated presidential candidate Mia Hussein Mousavi has appeared on the sixth day of protests in Tehran.
[20:18.000 --> 20:23.000]  Demonstrators wore black to mourn those killed in clashes with police.
[20:23.000 --> 20:28.000]  Two supporters in Iran were asked to leave by the authorities after the election.
[20:28.000 --> 20:33.000]  This report has been compiled in London by our Foreign Affairs correspondent, Lisa Holland.
[20:33.000 --> 20:38.000]  Iranian state television allowed to show President Ahmadinejad's nemesis.
[20:38.000 --> 20:43.000]  Grainy pictures but still it is a highly provocative image.
[20:43.000 --> 20:48.000]  The opposition leader who claims he was cheated from power
[20:48.000 --> 20:53.000]  calling on his supporters to stay calm.
[20:53.000 --> 20:58.000]  They had come because Mia Hussein Mousavi had asked them to.
[20:58.000 --> 21:03.000]  Such is the following he has garnered over recent weeks.
[21:03.000 --> 21:08.000]  Now his face symbolises a movement demanding more than just a recount of the election.
[21:08.000 --> 21:13.000]  But for today he told them to wear black as a sign of mourning for those killed in the violence since voting day.
[21:13.000 --> 21:18.000]  This picture was taken yesterday of one family burying its dead.
[21:18.000 --> 21:23.000]  The government puts the number killed at eight.
[21:23.000 --> 21:28.000]  The opposition claims it's as many as a hundred across the country.
[21:28.000 --> 21:33.000]  But there's absolutely no way of knowing if that's true.
[21:33.000 --> 21:38.000]  And the list of those detained by the authorities is growing.
[21:38.000 --> 21:43.000]  A former aide to the father of the revolution, the Ayatollah Khomeini.
[21:43.000 --> 21:48.000]  And Mohamed Tavassali, close to the former president Rafsanjani.
[21:48.000 --> 21:53.000]  The opposition says hundreds of people have been detained.
[21:53.000 --> 21:58.000]  Foreign journalists are still banned from attending the rallies and communication with the outside world is being stifled.
[21:58.000 --> 22:03.000]  The next move will come from the Ayatollah Khomeini, Iran's supreme leader.
[22:03.000 --> 22:08.000]  He will address the nation from Friday prayers in Tehran.
[22:08.000 --> 22:16.000]  It is his moment to really assert his authority in a place where the constitution decrees his word is final.
[22:16.000 --> 22:25.000]  After the violence in the universities and on the streets, it will be a moment to attempt to mould national unity.
[22:25.000 --> 22:33.000]  For days now, there has been violent division. If he fails, all bets are off in predicting Iran's future.
[22:33.000 --> 22:36.000]  Lisa Holland, Sky News.
[22:36.000 --> 22:39.000]  Britain's royal princes have revealed their royal rivalry.
[22:39.000 --> 22:45.000]  William and Harry are both undergoing training to be pilots, but neither is willing to admit who's best.
[22:45.000 --> 22:49.000]  Jeff Mead reports.
[22:49.000 --> 22:54.000]  Brothers in arms as the two princes' military careers coincide for the first time.
[22:54.000 --> 23:01.000]  As well as getting to grips with rigorous classroom and flying tests, they're sharing a house and a good deal of banter.
[23:01.000 --> 23:04.000]  He's definitely got more brains than me. I think we've established that from school.
[23:04.000 --> 23:07.000]  But when it comes to all that, I'm much better hands on.
[23:07.000 --> 23:10.000]  And when you flat out, do you just have a dig at your baldness?
[23:10.000 --> 23:11.000]  His what?
[23:11.000 --> 23:12.000]  His baldness.
[23:12.000 --> 23:14.000]  His baldness, no.
[23:14.000 --> 23:19.000]  It's pretty rich coming from a ginger, so I'm quite happy to do that.
[23:19.000 --> 23:24.000]  Well, bear in mind, I cook him and feed him basically every day. I think he's done rather well.
[23:24.000 --> 23:26.000]  Harry told us the other week that he did all the washing up.
[23:26.000 --> 23:30.000]  He does do a bit of the washing up. Then he leaves most of it in the sink, and then it comes back in the morning, and I have to wash it up.
[23:30.000 --> 23:33.000]  Oh, the lies.
[23:33.000 --> 23:35.000]  Do you end up finding yourself tidying up after him?
[23:35.000 --> 23:39.000]  Yeah, February tidying. He snores a lot as well. He keeps me out all night long.
[23:39.000 --> 23:41.000]  I think we're showing your bed mats.
[23:41.000 --> 23:43.000]  No, I think that's very important we say that.
[23:43.000 --> 23:48.000]  William has been learning since January how to fly RAF search and rescue missions.
[23:48.000 --> 23:53.000]  Harry, who served on the front line in Helmand last year, is desperate to return to combat duty,
[23:53.000 --> 23:59.000]  the anonymity of a cockpit seen as the safest way for a Royal to return to action.
[23:59.000 --> 24:04.000]  To get out to Afghanistan again would be fantastic, and my best chance is to do it from a helicopter.
[24:04.000 --> 24:06.000]  Have you got off the ground yet?
[24:06.000 --> 24:07.000]  Sorry?
[24:07.000 --> 24:08.000]  Have you got off the ground yet?
[24:08.000 --> 24:09.000]  I've just got off the ground.
[24:09.000 --> 24:10.000]  Thanks for asking.
[24:10.000 --> 24:17.000]  And behind the Royal chuckle brother's routine, it's clear William longs for his own chance to serve in Helmand.
[24:17.000 --> 24:22.000]  I didn't join the forces to be, like I said a long time before, molly cuddled or treated any different.
[24:22.000 --> 24:27.000]  And as far as I'm concerned, in my eyes, if Harry can do it, then I can do it.
[24:27.000 --> 24:29.000]  I don't really separate us in that much difference.
[24:29.000 --> 24:36.000]  And I think as future head of the armed forces, it's really important that I at least get the opportunity to be credible
[24:36.000 --> 24:39.000]  and to do the job that I signed up for and to do the best I can.
[24:39.000 --> 24:44.000]  It's actually out of the question that the second in line would be put at risk on the front line,
[24:44.000 --> 24:50.000]  and William will lose no respect inside or outside of the military for being forbidden combat duty.
[24:50.000 --> 24:54.000]  Whether his brother grabs more glory depends on how he progresses here,
[24:54.000 --> 24:59.000]  in the full knowledge that one in six army pilots failed to make the grade.
[24:59.000 --> 25:02.000]  Geoff Meade, Sky News, RAF Shawbury.
[25:02.000 --> 25:05.000]  This is Sky News on our website, skynews.com.
[25:05.000 --> 25:12.000]  The Afghan immigrant who got access to Sandhurst after staying away on a coach.
[25:12.000 --> 25:17.000]  A lot is coming up. Loyalists in Northern Ireland make a breakthrough on decommissioning their weapons.
[25:17.000 --> 25:22.000]  And more freedom for the Gurkhas, this time in a southern seaside town.
[25:28.000 --> 25:32.000]  I do watch Sky News a lot. I've got to say, get some of Sarah's nerves.
[25:32.000 --> 25:37.000]  Sky News, what do you watch Sky News for? I need to know what's going on before anybody else.
[25:37.000 --> 25:42.000]  Is that one of those adverts?
[25:56.000 --> 26:00.000]  At Halifax we think banks should look after their customers.
[26:00.000 --> 26:07.000]  That's why each month we give our reward current account customers five pounds.
[26:07.000 --> 26:11.000]  It's our way of saying thank you for banking with us.
[26:11.000 --> 26:31.000]  A little extra help from Halifax.

[27:45.000 --> 27:49.000]  Our journey will take us through some of the most hostile environments in the whole of Africa.
[27:49.000 --> 27:56.000]  This summer. It's a complete journey of exploration. Exactly how it happened 130 years ago.
[27:56.000 --> 28:00.000]  One of history's greatest adventures begins again.
[28:00.000 --> 28:02.000]  We're going to be punished by this continent.
[28:02.000 --> 28:05.000]  Four explorers. This is wild Africa.
[28:05.000 --> 28:09.000]  970 miles. There's no turning back. Of Hell.
[28:09.000 --> 28:15.000]  Expedition Africa premieres tonight from 8 on History and History HD.
[28:15.000 --> 28:19.000]  It's believed loyalist groups in Northern Ireland have started decommissioning their weapons.
[28:19.000 --> 28:24.000]  They've been under pressure to give up their guns after being set an August deadline by the government.
[28:24.000 --> 28:27.000]  Well, Sky's Vicky Hawthorne is at Hillsborough Castle for us tonight.
[28:27.000 --> 28:31.000]  A major breakthrough, it seems, Vicky.
[28:31.000 --> 28:37.000]  Yes, indeed. All the indications are that, indeed, loyalist paramilitary groups have begun decommissioning.
[28:37.000 --> 28:42.000]  I understand that the Ulster Volunteer Force has made the biggest move in decommissioning
[28:42.000 --> 28:48.000]  and the Ulster Defence Association, the UDA, isn't far behind making similar moves.
[28:48.000 --> 28:51.000]  This all came out earlier today.
[28:51.000 --> 28:57.000]  The government, nor the decommissioning body, which was set up to monitor the decommissioning of weapons,
[28:57.000 --> 29:00.000]  have been able to confirm any of this.
[29:00.000 --> 29:04.000]  But the Secretary of State, Sean Woodward, felt that it was obviously significant enough.
[29:04.000 --> 29:07.000]  He was prepared to give a press conference here at Hillsborough Castle,
[29:07.000 --> 29:12.000]  his official residence earlier this afternoon, and this is what he had to say.
[29:12.000 --> 29:21.000]  If these reports were to be confirmed, they would demonstrate a major act of decommissioning by loyalism.
[29:21.000 --> 29:29.000]  And secondly, what they demonstrate, if they are confirmed, is that politics in Northern Ireland is working.
[29:29.000 --> 29:34.000]  All of the armed organisations should follow suit.
[29:34.000 --> 29:38.000]  And I hope that we are into a circumstance where all that is happening.
[29:38.000 --> 29:48.000]  I think it shows that most people, as can be seen in the number of elections which have occurred, have faith in the process.
[29:48.000 --> 29:56.000]  As I say, while this has not been officially confirmed, the general feeling is that there's definitely something afoot with loyalist decommissioning.
[29:56.000 --> 30:00.000]  I put some background to this. The IRA completed decommissioning in 2005,
[30:00.000 --> 30:05.000]  and ever since then the loyalists have been under serious pressure to follow that
[30:05.000 --> 30:08.000]  and to make their significant steps towards decommissioning.
[30:08.000 --> 30:10.000]  Well, it all looks like this is exactly what's happening,
[30:10.000 --> 30:14.000]  and we may have official confirmation of this within the next few days.
[30:14.000 --> 30:17.000]  Vicki, thanks very much indeed.
[30:17.000 --> 30:18.000]  Top stories for you on Live at Five.
[30:18.000 --> 30:23.000]  Now, Sir Fred Goodwin is to hand back a large part of his pension, as revealed on Sky News.
[30:23.000 --> 30:32.000]  The disgraced banker will now take home £340,000 a year, but he keeps a multi-million pound lump sum.
[30:32.000 --> 30:38.000]  Conservative leader Dave Cameron is to pay back almost £1,000 in wrongly claimed expenses.
[30:38.000 --> 30:49.000]  Iran's defeated presidential candidate Mia Hussein Mousavi has appeared on a sixth day of protests in Tehran.
[30:49.000 --> 30:59.000]  This afternoon over Hong Kong, we expect to see a downpour of vintage champagne.
[30:59.000 --> 31:03.000]  Well, our weather currently is still a little bit changeable, but it's getting better by the day,
[31:03.000 --> 31:06.000]  and certainly as we go into next week, high pressure should be taking over
[31:06.000 --> 31:09.000]  and temperatures will be lifting nicely as well.
[31:09.000 --> 31:13.000]  These showers, they're all down to an area of low pressure close to Scotland there.
[31:13.000 --> 31:17.000]  Some of those showers have been quite heavy through the course of the day and indeed thundery.
[31:17.000 --> 31:21.000]  We've seen one or two down towards the south as well, but in fact this is where we've got the thicker cloud.
[31:21.000 --> 31:23.000]  You can see elsewhere better breaks in that cloud.
[31:23.000 --> 31:28.000]  But temperatures have still reached around 20, 21 degrees Celsius, that's 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
[31:28.000 --> 31:32.000]  There's our low centre at the moment and the rather brisk winds that go with it,
[31:32.000 --> 31:35.000]  and that's going to track its way slowly eastwards overnight.
[31:35.000 --> 31:40.000]  So those showers really tending to make their way across to eastern parts of Scotland
[31:40.000 --> 31:45.000]  to be followed by a few more showers into the north and west first thing on Friday morning.
[31:45.000 --> 31:49.000]  But generally we should see a lot of that cloud disappear from southern parts,
[31:49.000 --> 31:53.000]  so brighter skies to start the day and of course temperatures will respond to that.
[31:53.000 --> 31:58.000]  We're looking at temperatures up around 20, 21 degrees Celsius on the day, that's 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
[32:05.000 --> 32:11.000]  Well, more now on the government's apparent U-turn on its plans to hold an inquiry into the Iraq War in private.
[32:11.000 --> 32:16.000]  Some hearings now will be held publicly after Gordon Brown came under heavy criticism today,
[32:16.000 --> 32:22.000]  not least from former Prime Minister Sir John Major, who described the initial plans as inexplicable.
[32:22.000 --> 32:24.000]  And Sir John joins me now live from Westminster.
[32:24.000 --> 32:28.000]  Sir John Major, why do you think that plan was inexplicable?
[32:28.000 --> 32:33.000]  Well, you have here with the Iraq War something that was very controversial.
[32:33.000 --> 32:37.000]  There are some elements of it that are still not clear to people. Was the war legal?
[32:37.000 --> 32:40.000]  What advice was given to the government? How did they deal with it?
[32:40.000 --> 32:44.000]  They're crucial questions. There are further questions as well.
[32:44.000 --> 32:50.000]  Did we actually go to war on a false premise? What will be told about the weapons of mass destruction?
[32:50.000 --> 32:53.000]  Now, those are issues that are very controversial.
[32:53.000 --> 32:59.000]  And in the government's own interests, we need to make sure that those are settled and put to rest.
[32:59.000 --> 33:06.000]  And holding an inquiry largely behind closed doors, which was what was originally anticipated,
[33:06.000 --> 33:10.000]  would certainly have just given rise to more and more rumours and more and more discontent.
[33:10.000 --> 33:13.000]  In the government's own interests, I thought that was a very silly decision.
[33:13.000 --> 33:18.000]  Who ought to decide then which elements remain confidential, which bits remain in camera?
[33:18.000 --> 33:23.000]  Because inevitably there will be evidence coming from, for instance, senior intelligence sources,
[33:23.000 --> 33:26.000]  which in the national interest ought to stay private.
[33:26.000 --> 33:30.000]  I entirely agree with that. I don't think anyone disagrees with that. Of course there are.
[33:30.000 --> 33:35.000]  But I think the general presumption should be public, that the hearings should be in public,
[33:35.000 --> 33:40.000]  that the hearings close when the chairman and the committee judge that it's in the national interest for them to be so.
[33:40.000 --> 33:44.000]  I think they're best placed. They know what questions they're going to ask.
[33:44.000 --> 33:47.000]  They know the responsibilities of the witness. They're cross-examining.
[33:47.000 --> 33:49.000]  So I think they're the people to make the decision.
[33:49.000 --> 33:54.000]  But overall, essentially, the presumption must be that the inquiry is in public
[33:54.000 --> 33:59.000]  if it is to carry the force with the public that everyone hopes that it will have.
[33:59.000 --> 34:01.000]  Let us get this matter solved.
[34:01.000 --> 34:05.000]  What we don't want is a legacy of suspicion hanging over for years
[34:05.000 --> 34:10.000]  so that next time a future government may be in a position of having to send troops into conflict,
[34:10.000 --> 34:14.000]  everyone knows that what is being done is entirely above board
[34:14.000 --> 34:18.000]  and the government's word is instinctively and unquestioningly trusted.
[34:18.000 --> 34:21.000]  That's what we must hope will come out of this inquiry.
[34:21.000 --> 34:24.000]  But to ensure that, we first need the inquiry.
[34:24.000 --> 34:28.000]  Is there a danger that if this inquiry is fully public,
[34:28.000 --> 34:32.000]  we effectively offer a licence for grandstanding, for posturing?
[34:32.000 --> 34:34.000]  It becomes more political.
[34:34.000 --> 34:37.000]  Well, I'm not quite sure the sort of witnesses they're going to have
[34:37.000 --> 34:40.000]  who is actually going to do the posturing and being political.
[34:40.000 --> 34:43.000]  Well, for instance, some of the relatives of those combatants...
[34:43.000 --> 34:47.000]  I don't think the sort of people they're going to be interviewing are going to take that view.
[34:47.000 --> 34:52.000]  If they are, I think the experience of the chairman and the committee will soon cut them down to size.
[34:52.000 --> 34:56.000]  But you have a choice. Even if one or two people postured,
[34:56.000 --> 34:59.000]  it would be that worse than a large part of the public
[34:59.000 --> 35:02.000]  not being satisfied with the outcome of this inquiry.
[35:02.000 --> 35:04.000]  I would argue not.
[35:04.000 --> 35:09.000]  What is necessary at the end of this inquiry is to put to rest the suspicions
[35:09.000 --> 35:15.000]  and uncertainties that have lingered about how this war began from the very outset of it.
[35:15.000 --> 35:18.000]  Is there a sense in which the inquiry, in becoming public,
[35:18.000 --> 35:23.000]  becomes a cathartic exercise for the relatives of those combatants who lost their lives?
[35:23.000 --> 35:26.000]  I think you touch on an extremely important point.
[35:26.000 --> 35:30.000]  I think it is very important for the families and friends of those servicemen
[35:30.000 --> 35:35.000]  who were killed or wounded, in many cases very seriously maimed.
[35:35.000 --> 35:38.000]  I think they need some form of closure.
[35:38.000 --> 35:40.000]  And I think the form of closure, you use the word cathartic,
[35:40.000 --> 35:42.000]  I think I would refer to it as closure,
[35:42.000 --> 35:46.000]  can best be done by an inquiry that examines the veracities of the war,
[35:46.000 --> 35:49.000]  how it came about, how it was conducted,
[35:49.000 --> 35:52.000]  and finally puts the whole matter to rest.
[35:52.000 --> 35:55.000]  I think, yes, you're right, it will be cathartic,
[35:55.000 --> 35:57.000]  and I think it will offer closure.
[35:57.000 --> 36:02.000]  And that, I think, is a very important part of the reason for having this inquiry.
[36:02.000 --> 36:05.000]  That closure could come at a tremendous price, couldn't it?
[36:05.000 --> 36:07.000]  In cost terms, we think of the Bloody Sunday inquiry,
[36:07.000 --> 36:10.000]  we look at something that's become a very protracted process,
[36:10.000 --> 36:12.000]  it's gone on for an awful long time,
[36:12.000 --> 36:15.000]  and it's cost the taxpayer an enormous amount of money.
[36:15.000 --> 36:20.000]  Well, I don't think we're likely to see a replication of the Bloody Sunday fiasco,
[36:20.000 --> 36:22.000]  which I would say went on a very long time.
[36:22.000 --> 36:24.000]  I think the general presumption from the Prime Minister downwards
[36:24.000 --> 36:27.000]  is that this is an inquiry that will proceed quite speedily
[36:27.000 --> 36:29.000]  and report quite speedily.
[36:29.000 --> 36:32.000]  Personally, I regret it didn't begin two years ago
[36:32.000 --> 36:34.000]  when I first advocated that it should.
[36:34.000 --> 36:36.000]  But nonetheless, I don't think it's going to replicate that.
[36:36.000 --> 36:40.000]  The lessons of the Bloody Sunday inquiry, I think, have been well learned.
[36:40.000 --> 36:42.000]  And how would you characterise, finally,
[36:42.000 --> 36:45.000]  the Prime Minister's handling of this announcement?
[36:45.000 --> 36:47.000]  Well, I'm baffled, to be frank.
[36:47.000 --> 36:50.000]  I'm baffled that it was so unclear to him
[36:50.000 --> 36:53.000]  that it would not meet the government's own purpose
[36:53.000 --> 36:55.000]  if they had this in private.
[36:55.000 --> 36:58.000]  The government's purpose is to settle this
[36:58.000 --> 37:01.000]  and push it to one side for once and all.
[37:01.000 --> 37:03.000]  Having it in private simply wouldn't have done that,
[37:03.000 --> 37:07.000]  and I simply can't begin to imagine how they thought that it would.
[37:07.000 --> 37:09.000]  Sir John Major, thank you. Thank you.
[37:09.000 --> 37:12.000]  This is Sky News, coming up for you, payback time.
[37:12.000 --> 37:15.000]  Geoff Randall, a wife, Fred the Shred, is giving up part of his pension.
[37:15.000 --> 37:17.000]  That's next on Live at Five.
[37:45.000 --> 37:48.000]  What really matters to you?
[37:48.000 --> 37:52.000]  Something that is made with precision and care,
[37:52.000 --> 37:56.000]  which is beautifully designed,
[37:56.000 --> 37:59.000]  but at the same time gives you real value,
[37:59.000 --> 38:01.000]  now and for the future.
[38:01.000 --> 38:05.000]  The i10, i20 and i30 from Hyundai.
[38:05.000 --> 38:08.000]  True quality matters.
[38:08.000 --> 38:15.000]  With our five-year unlimited mileage warranty.
[38:15.000 --> 38:18.000]  Hyundai.
[38:18.000 --> 38:23.000]  We're all around you, though you won't always see us.
[38:23.000 --> 38:26.000]  We're in your cars, we're in your phones,
[38:26.000 --> 38:29.000]  we're in your homes and your offices,
[38:29.000 --> 38:32.000]  we're in your building sites and your power plants.
[38:32.000 --> 38:36.340]  We're in the
[38:36.340 --> 38:39.800]  hard drives that store all those photographs
[38:39.800 --> 38:42.800]  you'll never actually get around to sorting.
[38:42.800 --> 38:44.800]  We're on your trains,
[38:44.800 --> 38:49.800]  but even in the supermarket where you bought your toothpaste.
[38:49.800 --> 38:52.800]  So it's reassuring to know that a company
[38:52.800 --> 38:55.800]  that touches so much of the environment
[38:55.800 --> 39:01.800]  is doing everything it can to help preserve it too.
[39:01.800 --> 39:07.800]  On Thursday, 120-1000mg of glucosamine sulfate tablets
[39:07.800 --> 39:10.800]  would have cost you £15.64 at Superdrug.
[39:10.800 --> 39:14.800]  You could get them for £9.99 at Holland & Barrett.
[39:14.800 --> 39:18.800]  That's £5.65 less.
[39:18.800 --> 39:22.800]  Compare and grab it, Holland & Barrett.
[39:22.800 --> 39:27.800]  Many are considered, but few are chosen.
[39:27.800 --> 39:32.800]  You have an awesome responsibility.
[39:32.800 --> 39:37.800]  To win for the Lions in South Africa is the ultimate.
[39:37.800 --> 39:42.800]  The moment's arriving for the greatest game of your lives.
[39:42.800 --> 39:45.800]  This is your Everest.
[39:45.800 --> 39:49.800]  The Lions vs South Africa with HSBC, Saturday at 1,
[39:49.800 --> 39:52.800]  Sky Sports 1 and HD 1.
[39:52.800 --> 39:54.800]  So as revealed today on Sky News,
[39:54.800 --> 39:58.800]  Fred Goodwin will now take home a £340,000 a year pension,
[39:58.800 --> 40:00.800]  but keeps a multimillion-pound lump sum.
[40:00.800 --> 40:02.800]  The story broken by our business presenter,
[40:02.800 --> 40:04.800]  Geoff Randall, who is here to talk about it.
[40:04.800 --> 40:07.800]  Why has he done this, Geoff?
[40:07.800 --> 40:10.800]  Well, look at it from Fred Goodwin's point of view.
[40:10.800 --> 40:13.800]  OK, he had a massive pension, £703,000,
[40:13.800 --> 40:17.800]  but his life and that of his family had become intolerable.
[40:17.800 --> 40:21.800]  He had become the demon figure for financial greed.
[40:21.800 --> 40:25.800]  He had become the personification, really, of the banking collapse.
[40:25.800 --> 40:29.800]  His house had been pelted, his kids had been taken out of school.
[40:29.800 --> 40:32.800]  You know, he'd become a pariah. You cannot go on like that.
[40:32.800 --> 40:35.800]  And I think he had taken advice from lots of people,
[40:35.800 --> 40:38.800]  some professionals, some personal, saying a gesture is required
[40:38.800 --> 40:42.800]  and it can't just be a few grand in the Salvation Army kitty.
[40:42.800 --> 40:44.800]  You've got to do something proper.
[40:44.800 --> 40:47.800]  And I think the voices that were talking to Fred
[40:47.800 --> 40:50.800]  always thought that about half would be right.
[40:50.800 --> 40:53.800]  And, you know, in the wash here, it's a slightly complicated deal,
[40:53.800 --> 40:55.800]  but it is about half.
[40:55.800 --> 40:57.800]  He was going to get £703,000.
[40:57.800 --> 40:59.800]  He's now shed over £340,000,
[40:59.800 --> 41:02.800]  but he does have the lump sum which he's taken out up front.
[41:02.800 --> 41:04.800]  We've talked before, haven't we,
[41:04.800 --> 41:06.800]  about how he'd become a bogeyman for politicians
[41:06.800 --> 41:08.800]  and the full weight of the state, in a sense,
[41:08.800 --> 41:10.800]  was bearing down on him as he became this bogeyman figure.
[41:10.800 --> 41:12.800]  But it wasn't just him that was suffering.
[41:12.800 --> 41:14.800]  Our correspondent in Edinburgh today
[41:14.800 --> 41:16.800]  was talking about his two boys at a private school,
[41:16.800 --> 41:18.800]  some of their colleagues at the school
[41:18.800 --> 41:20.800]  who suffered at RBS,
[41:20.800 --> 41:22.800]  and it was affecting, as you say, his entire family.
[41:22.800 --> 41:24.800]  Completely, and, you know, look,
[41:24.800 --> 41:26.800]  Fred was obsessed with work,
[41:26.800 --> 41:28.800]  but he does have a family life, he does have a conscience,
[41:28.800 --> 41:30.800]  and this was just intolerable.
[41:30.800 --> 41:33.800]  You cannot go on like this unless you are so hard-hearted,
[41:33.800 --> 41:35.800]  so flinty that you say, stuff them all,
[41:35.800 --> 41:37.800]  and clearly he wasn't going to do that.
[41:37.800 --> 41:40.800]  I think the other thing is also that Fred, he's only 50.
[41:40.800 --> 41:43.800]  You know, I think he believes that he still has a role
[41:43.800 --> 41:45.800]  to play somewhere in business life.
[41:45.800 --> 41:48.800]  He did not have an opening while this was hanging over him.
[41:48.800 --> 41:51.800]  He had to have closure, as we heard in the previous interview.
[41:51.800 --> 41:54.800]  Closure is very important to problems of this scale.
[41:54.800 --> 41:56.800]  Now, I think there will be closure.
[41:56.800 --> 41:58.800]  The unions will kick up a fuss, and you can see why.
[41:58.800 --> 42:00.800]  I'm not saying that their complaints are unjustified,
[42:00.800 --> 42:02.800]  but I think that they will dribble away.
[42:02.800 --> 42:05.800]  The key players in all this, the government, the UKFI,
[42:05.800 --> 42:07.800]  which looks after our investments,
[42:07.800 --> 42:10.800]  the bank itself and Sir Fred, I think, have done a deal,
[42:10.800 --> 42:12.800]  and they will say, we'll move on.
[42:12.800 --> 42:15.800]  It's one thing for protesters to stop putting his front window through.
[42:15.800 --> 42:18.800]  It's quite another for serious business people to welcome him
[42:18.800 --> 42:20.800]  onto the board of a big company.
[42:20.800 --> 42:23.800]  I mean, this is, after all, a man whose pariah status was such
[42:23.800 --> 42:25.800]  that he was effectively blackballed from membership
[42:25.800 --> 42:27.800]  at a well-known golf club.
[42:27.800 --> 42:29.800]  Yes, he was. Well, there is a precedent.
[42:29.800 --> 42:34.800]  I mean, Andy Hornby, who ran HBOS, another bank that all but collapsed,
[42:34.800 --> 42:38.800]  he has now been welcomed back as the chief executive of Boots.
[42:38.800 --> 42:42.800]  Not to universal acclaim. Not to universal acclaim,
[42:42.800 --> 42:45.800]  but he's got away with it, and I don't think he was...
[42:45.800 --> 42:48.800]  He wasn't shredded, to use that phrase, in the press.
[42:48.800 --> 42:51.800]  Some people said that he was a very good retailer who played at banking
[42:51.800 --> 42:53.800]  and now has gone back to retail.
[42:53.800 --> 42:55.800]  I think there is a big difference.
[42:55.800 --> 42:57.800]  HBOS was never Andy Hornby's bank.
[42:57.800 --> 43:01.800]  He was someone who had got out of his depth and was running HBOS.
[43:01.800 --> 43:05.800]  He wasn't inextricably linked with the personality of that bank.
[43:05.800 --> 43:08.800]  Unfortunately for Fred Goodwin, he was linked with RBS.
[43:08.800 --> 43:10.800]  It was Fred's bank. It was his deal.
[43:10.800 --> 43:13.800]  And in that sense, it's going to be harder to find a way back.
[43:13.800 --> 43:15.800]  Jeff, thanks very much indeed.
[43:15.800 --> 43:18.800]  More from Jeff on that story, of course, on his programme tonight, 7.30.
[43:18.800 --> 43:21.800]  After forcing the government to change the rules on settling in the UK
[43:21.800 --> 43:24.800]  last month, the Gurkhas have had further cause to celebrate.
[43:24.800 --> 43:27.800]  They were given the freedom of Folkestone in Kent
[43:27.800 --> 43:30.800]  in front of a 10,000-strong crowd.
[43:30.800 --> 43:35.800]  David Bowden was there.
[43:35.800 --> 43:38.800]  The sun shone brightly and the crowds turned out in droves
[43:38.800 --> 43:41.800]  as the Gurkhas were given the freedom of Folkestone.
[43:41.800 --> 43:44.800]  More than 600 men from the 2nd Battalion,
[43:44.800 --> 43:47.800]  just back from a gruelling tour of Afghanistan,
[43:47.800 --> 43:50.800]  proudly marched through the seaside town.
[43:50.800 --> 43:55.800]  Fantastic. All children, everything, Folkestone,
[43:55.800 --> 44:00.800]  whatever, all the people here, it's absolutely fantastic.
[44:00.800 --> 44:02.800]  Must make you feel immensely proud.
[44:02.800 --> 44:06.800]  Oh, yes, really, really proud. Yes, really proud.
[44:06.800 --> 44:09.800]  Also, there are Gurkhas who can no longer march,
[44:09.800 --> 44:13.800]  their legs blown off by Taliban minds, but their spirits still strong.
[44:13.800 --> 44:20.800]  I feel very happy and proud that the public supports us so much.
[44:20.800 --> 44:23.800]  I loved it.
[44:23.800 --> 44:25.800]  For the crowd, a chance to say a personal thanks
[44:25.800 --> 44:29.800]  to this unique band of brothers who put their lives on the line
[44:29.800 --> 44:32.800]  not for their own country, but for ours.
[44:32.800 --> 44:34.800]  I've lived in Folkestone all my life
[44:34.800 --> 44:39.800]  and it just gives me such enormous pride to be here.
[44:39.800 --> 44:42.800]  The Gurkhas have been with us for what, 200, 300 years?
[44:42.800 --> 44:44.800]  Marvelous, absolutely marvelous.
[44:44.800 --> 44:48.800]  I tell you what, get you there, absolutely.
[44:48.800 --> 44:52.800]  For these Gurkhas, this is a day of celebration and pride,
[44:52.800 --> 44:54.800]  but also one of sadness.
[44:54.800 --> 44:57.800]  They, like many other units who served in Afghanistan,
[44:57.800 --> 45:00.800]  have lost comrades in the fight against the Taliban.
[45:00.800 --> 45:04.800]  There'll be no homecoming parade for them.
[45:04.800 --> 45:07.800]  No Gurkha event these days, it seems, is complete
[45:07.800 --> 45:09.800]  without an appearance by Joanna Lumley,
[45:09.800 --> 45:13.800]  who's brought the bravery of these Nepalese fighting men to the fore.
[45:13.800 --> 45:16.800]  I think it's just such a sign of respect from our country
[45:16.800 --> 45:18.800]  and I think it's absolutely thrilling.
[45:18.800 --> 45:21.800]  I'm so proud of Folkestone for doing this grand thing,
[45:21.800 --> 45:24.800]  for serving soldiers and for the retired soldiers.
[45:24.800 --> 45:27.800]  I think it means so much and it's really part of,
[45:27.800 --> 45:30.800]  it's a sort of microcosm of what our country wants to say to these Gurkhas.
[45:30.800 --> 45:34.800]  You are so welcome, we're so honoured to have you amongst us.
[45:34.800 --> 45:37.800]  It took just a quarter of an hour for the quick-stepping Gurkhas
[45:37.800 --> 45:40.800]  to complete the mile-and-a-quarter march through Folkestone
[45:40.800 --> 45:45.800]  before returning to their barracks to be presented with their campaign medals.
[45:45.800 --> 45:49.800]  For each and every one of them, an unforgettable day.
[45:49.800 --> 45:54.800]  Though for the wives of Corporal Kumar Poon and Colour Sergeant Krishnadura,
[45:54.800 --> 45:57.800]  the Gurkhas who were killed in Afghanistan,
[45:57.800 --> 46:00.800]  the memories will be altogether different.
[46:00.800 --> 46:04.800]  David Bowden, Sky News, with the Gurkhas in Folkestone.
[46:04.800 --> 46:06.800]  Top stories on Live at Five for you.
[46:06.800 --> 46:09.800]  Sir Fred Goodwin is to hand back a huge part of his pension.
[46:09.800 --> 46:12.800]  As revealed on Sky News, the disgraced banker will now take home
[46:12.800 --> 46:17.800]  £340,000 a year, but he keeps a multimillion-pound lump sum.
[46:17.800 --> 46:20.800]  The Conservative leader David Cameron is to pay back almost £1,000
[46:20.800 --> 46:23.800]  in wrongly claimed expenses.
[46:23.800 --> 46:26.800]  And Iran's defeated presidential candidate Mia Hussein Mousavi
[46:26.800 --> 46:31.800]  has appeared on a sixth day of protests in Tehran.
[46:31.800 --> 46:34.800]  This is Sky News. Coming up at six, we're live in Salford,
[46:34.800 --> 46:39.800]  where Hazel Blears could be deselected as an MP tonight.
[46:39.800 --> 46:41.800]  Who's rocking the boat?
[46:41.800 --> 46:43.800]  And up next, who's in, who's out,
[46:43.800 --> 46:48.800]  for the Lions' team to play South Africa?
[46:48.800 --> 46:51.800]  Jeff Hoon has just announced that he's going to step down.
[46:51.800 --> 46:53.800]  There isn't the unity that you're talking about.
[46:53.800 --> 46:55.800]  No, the new cabinet has not actually.
[46:55.800 --> 46:58.800]  I mean, I know Sky is always at all times very ahead of the games,
[46:58.800 --> 47:00.800]  but actually it's not been fully announced yet.
[47:00.800 --> 47:03.800]  I think that it's about to be announced from number two.
[47:05.800 --> 47:07.800]  Just because you got approved by an adoption agency
[47:07.800 --> 47:09.800]  doesn't mean you can get approved by the birth mother.
[47:09.800 --> 47:11.800]  Unfit mother.
[47:11.800 --> 47:13.800]  A wannabe mother.
[47:13.800 --> 47:15.800]  She's been dying for a kid for three years.
[47:15.800 --> 47:17.800]  And a complete mother.
[47:17.800 --> 47:19.800]  Hey, what are you doing?
[47:19.800 --> 47:20.800]  Baby bath.
[47:20.800 --> 47:21.800]  You must hate me.
[47:21.800 --> 47:23.800]  If you'd done everything right in your life,
[47:23.800 --> 47:24.800]  I wouldn't be getting a baby.
[47:24.800 --> 47:26.800]  You're a control-seeking narcissist.
[47:26.800 --> 47:28.800]  You're not equipped to handle a real kid
[47:28.800 --> 47:29.800]  that remember the factory second.
[47:29.800 --> 47:42.800]  Brand new house, Sunday at 9, Sky 1 and Sky 1 HD.
[47:59.800 --> 48:01.800]  Having trouble getting hooked up there, mate?
[48:01.800 --> 48:03.800]  I'm all sixes and sevens today.
[48:03.800 --> 48:04.800]  Got money on my mind.
[48:04.800 --> 48:06.800]  Jane and I don't know where to start.
[48:06.800 --> 48:07.800]  That's simple.
[48:07.800 --> 48:09.800]  Have you tried Ocean?
[48:09.800 --> 48:11.800]  We're refinancing, Bob.
[48:11.800 --> 48:12.800]  Not deep sea fishing.
[48:12.800 --> 48:13.800]  Ocean Finance.
[48:13.800 --> 48:15.800]  They've even got a TV channel
[48:15.800 --> 48:17.800]  so you can look before you try.
[48:20.800 --> 48:21.800]  Hey, love.
[48:21.800 --> 48:22.800]  Guess what?
[48:22.800 --> 48:23.800]  Look.
[48:23.800 --> 48:24.800]  Ocean Finance.
[48:24.800 --> 48:26.800]  They've even got a TV channel
[48:26.800 --> 48:29.800]  so you can look before you try.
[48:29.800 --> 48:30.800]  Hey, love.
[48:30.800 --> 48:31.800]  Guess what?
[48:31.800 --> 48:32.800]  Look.
[48:32.800 --> 48:35.800]  Ocean Finance have got their own TV channel.
[48:35.800 --> 48:36.800]  Yeah.
[48:36.800 --> 48:37.800]  Figures.
[48:37.800 --> 48:39.800]  Now there's an idea.
[48:43.800 --> 48:46.800]  I need new glasses, but how can I afford them?
[48:46.800 --> 48:48.800]  Hey, just say.
[48:48.800 --> 48:52.800]  How can I keep up with the family's dental check-ups?
[48:52.800 --> 48:54.800]  Hey, just say.
[48:54.800 --> 48:56.800]  Our health cash plans help spread the cost
[48:56.800 --> 48:58.800]  and start at just $2.25 a week.
[48:58.800 --> 49:25.800]  Call now on 0800 0854 321 and get one month free.
[49:28.800 --> 49:31.800]  Day after day, to help protect against acid erosion,
[49:31.800 --> 49:35.800]  start using Colgate-sensitive enamel protect.
[49:35.800 --> 49:36.800]  Yeah, I'm in Sainsbury's.
[49:36.800 --> 49:38.800]  Yeah, I'm done.
[49:38.800 --> 49:40.800]  Hang on a minute.
[49:54.800 --> 49:56.800]  Sainsbury's have lowered thousands of prices
[49:56.800 --> 49:57.800]  on big name brands.
[49:57.800 --> 49:59.800]  So you might need a trolley.
[50:05.800 --> 50:07.800]  Dan Lobs here to reflect on the sport
[50:07.800 --> 50:09.800]  and in particular the fact that it's the Lions' first test
[50:09.800 --> 50:10.800]  on Saturday.
[50:10.800 --> 50:11.800]  It's come around quickly.
[50:11.800 --> 50:14.800]  Yeah, they've been out there since the 30th of May.
[50:14.800 --> 50:15.800]  They've had six matches.
[50:15.800 --> 50:16.800]  They've won all six.
[50:16.800 --> 50:18.800]  And the British and Irish Lions have finally
[50:18.800 --> 50:21.800]  named their team to face South Africa for that first test,
[50:21.800 --> 50:23.800]  as Colin was saying, on Saturday.
[50:23.800 --> 50:24.800]  There's the team in full.
[50:24.800 --> 50:27.800]  No real surprises in the selection.
[50:27.800 --> 50:29.800]  The toughest decision made by coach Ian McGeekin
[50:29.800 --> 50:32.800]  he had to make was who to choose in the back row.
[50:32.800 --> 50:36.800]  He went for Tom Croft, David Wallace, and Jamie Heslip.
[50:36.800 --> 50:39.800]  Well, the team consists of six Welshmen, five Irishmen,
[50:39.800 --> 50:42.800]  four Englishmen, no Scots in the 22.
[50:42.800 --> 50:45.800]  This is the first of three tests.
[50:45.800 --> 50:48.800]  Lions hoping to emulate what they achieved under McGeekin
[50:48.800 --> 50:49.800]  back in 1997.
[50:49.800 --> 50:54.800]  After the announcement, the coach explained his selections.
[50:54.800 --> 50:57.800]  When you're playing a test match,
[50:57.800 --> 50:59.800]  I know you'll tell me I've done it in the past,
[50:59.800 --> 51:03.800]  but I think where we could, we wanted to be having players
[51:03.800 --> 51:06.800]  playing in their number one positions.
[51:06.800 --> 51:10.800]  And that's what we've tried to do.
[51:10.800 --> 51:13.800]  I think we know we'll be playing at a different level
[51:13.800 --> 51:14.800]  on Saturday.
[51:14.800 --> 51:18.800]  And I think it's important that we try and give them
[51:18.800 --> 51:23.800]  that opportunity.
[51:23.800 --> 51:25.800]  Those warm-up games, they've been in fabulous form.
[51:25.800 --> 51:27.800]  They've taken quite a lot of physical stick,
[51:27.800 --> 51:29.800]  particularly the last game, didn't they?
[51:29.800 --> 51:30.800]  They're shaping up well.
[51:30.800 --> 51:31.800]  Absolutely, against the Kings.
[51:31.800 --> 51:33.800]  There were some doubts over a couple of players.
[51:33.800 --> 51:35.800]  They were always expecting a tough encounter,
[51:35.800 --> 51:37.800]  and you would do that going to South Africa
[51:37.800 --> 51:38.800]  and playing those provincial sides.
[51:38.800 --> 51:40.800]  But they've come through magnificently well.
[51:40.800 --> 51:41.800]  Six out of six.
[51:41.800 --> 51:43.800]  But I think it's a step up now, isn't it?
[51:43.800 --> 51:44.800]  It really is.
[51:44.800 --> 51:46.800]  Especially seeing it's three tests.
[51:46.800 --> 51:50.800]  This first test really set the tone for the rest of the tour.
[51:50.800 --> 51:52.800]  But fingers crossed for a good performance from the Lions
[51:52.800 --> 51:53.800]  on Saturday.
[51:53.800 --> 51:54.800]  Let's move on to the golf show.
[51:54.800 --> 51:56.800]  It's day one at the US Open.
[51:56.800 --> 51:59.800]  Weather, though, has already intervened at the Bethpage Black
[51:59.800 --> 52:01.800]  course in upstate New York.
[52:01.800 --> 52:04.800]  Players being suspended because the course is waterlogged.
[52:04.800 --> 52:07.800]  Tiger Woods completed six holes before range start play
[52:07.800 --> 52:09.800]  and had an event full-time.
[52:09.800 --> 52:12.800]  Defending champion hit this wayward tee shot at the par four
[52:12.800 --> 52:18.800]  fifth, which led to a double bogey in the end.
[52:18.800 --> 52:22.800]  But he hit straight back at the next, a birdie three,
[52:22.800 --> 52:28.800]  leaving him one over, two shots off the lead.
[52:28.800 --> 52:31.800]  History was made on ladies' day at Royal Ascot in the feature
[52:31.800 --> 52:32.800]  race, the gold cup.
[52:32.800 --> 52:35.800]  The six to four favorite, Yates, became the first horse
[52:35.800 --> 52:37.800]  to win the race for a fourth year in a row.
[52:37.800 --> 52:40.800]  The eight-year-old, ridden by Johnny Murta, came home
[52:40.800 --> 52:44.800]  three and a half lengths clear of Patkai at nine to two.
[52:44.800 --> 52:52.800]  Jordy Land at 11 to four was third, a further 15 lengths drift.
[52:52.800 --> 52:55.800]  South Africa playing Pakistan in the first semifinal of the
[52:55.800 --> 52:59.800]  World 2020, this one being played at Trent Bridge.
[52:59.800 --> 53:01.800]  This was the first wicket.
[53:01.800 --> 53:03.800]  Pakistan won the toss and elected to bat.
[53:03.800 --> 53:08.800]  Shahzab Hassan caught wonderfully well by Vandermeer off
[53:08.800 --> 53:11.800]  the bowling of Wayne Parnell for a duck.
[53:11.800 --> 53:13.800]  Cameron Akmel has also fallen.
[53:13.800 --> 53:16.800]  Akmel making a quick five, 23 of just 12 balls.
[53:16.800 --> 53:19.800]  He was caught by Markle off the bowling of Dale Steyn.
[53:19.800 --> 53:22.800]  The latest score, I can tell you, four overs bowled.
[53:22.800 --> 53:26.800]  Pakistan are 32 for two.
[53:26.800 --> 53:28.800]  Going to talk football in just a moment, but it's worth
[53:28.800 --> 53:30.800]  mentioning, actually, while we're still on the cricket
[53:30.800 --> 53:32.800]  down, that the former England paceman, Simon Jones, who,
[53:32.800 --> 53:36.800]  of course, had such a wonderful ashes 2005, part of that four
[53:36.800 --> 53:39.800]  strong bowler attack, he's been ruled out the rest of the
[53:39.800 --> 53:41.800]  domestic season because of this knee injury.
[53:41.800 --> 53:44.800]  I'm guessing it's the recurring knee injury that has, frankly,
[53:44.800 --> 53:46.800]  blighted such a promising career.
[53:46.800 --> 53:47.800]  Absolutely.
[53:47.800 --> 53:49.800]  He's been plagued with injury in that particular knee injury for
[53:49.800 --> 53:51.800]  the majority of his career.
[53:51.800 --> 53:55.800]  It's sad, actually, because I think age-wise, times against him,
[53:55.800 --> 54:00.800]  and it's a hard life for him in the old cricket world at the
[54:00.800 --> 54:01.800]  moment.
[54:01.800 --> 54:04.800]  For somebody for whom life has not always been hard, Kevin
[54:04.800 --> 54:06.800]  Keegan, the comeback kid.
[54:06.800 --> 54:08.800]  Could be, yes, on the cards.
[54:08.800 --> 54:11.800]  He might be going back to one of his former clubs as a player,
[54:11.800 --> 54:12.800]  Southampton.
[54:12.800 --> 54:14.800]  He was there back in the early 80s.
[54:14.800 --> 54:16.800]  Saints have had an awful time of late.
[54:16.800 --> 54:18.800]  They've been relegated down to League One.
[54:18.800 --> 54:22.800]  And there are reports that Kevin Keegan is linked with the
[54:22.800 --> 54:25.800]  consortium being led by Southampton legend Matt Letizier,
[54:25.800 --> 54:29.800]  which some suggest will definitely be taking the club over.
[54:29.800 --> 54:32.800]  And suggestions would point the finger at Kevin Keegan as
[54:32.800 --> 54:34.800]  becoming the next manager.
[54:34.800 --> 54:35.800]  We'll have to wait and see.
[54:35.800 --> 54:37.800]  But that would be a Keegan return to football, perhaps.
[54:37.800 --> 54:38.800]  Watch this space.
[54:38.800 --> 54:39.800]  Dan, thanks very much indeed.
[54:39.800 --> 54:41.800]  This is Sky News, coming up at six.
[54:41.800 --> 54:42.800]  Take it back.
[54:42.800 --> 54:46.800]  Fred the Shred finally agrees to hand back almost £350,000 a
[54:46.800 --> 54:48.800]  year in his pension.
[54:48.800 --> 54:51.800]  Plus, rallies continue in Iran over the disputed presidential
[54:51.800 --> 54:52.800]  election.
[54:52.800 --> 54:54.800]  Opposition candidate Mousavi joins his supporters.
[54:54.800 --> 54:58.800]  And here the Gurkhas, of course, for more celebrations with a
[54:58.800 --> 55:01.800]  special parade and a special guest.
[55:01.800 --> 55:03.800]  We'll be right back.
[56:02.800 --> 56:03.800]  The IKEA sale.
[56:03.800 --> 56:04.800]  It won't last forever.
[56:10.800 --> 56:13.800]  It was an extraordinary time.
[56:13.800 --> 56:17.800]  Rationing, bomb sites.
[56:17.800 --> 56:22.800]  Even the track was made from cinders from people's coal fires.
[56:22.800 --> 56:24.800]  But people rallied.
[56:24.800 --> 56:29.800]  And somehow the impossible happened.
[56:29.800 --> 56:34.800]  No-one knew then about climate change.
[56:34.800 --> 56:39.800]  But we can rise to this new challenge in the same way.
[56:39.800 --> 56:40.800]  Together.
[56:40.800 --> 56:43.800]  The games are awarded to London.
[56:43.800 --> 56:46.800]  London 2012 is our chance to lead the world in the fight
[56:46.800 --> 56:48.800]  against climate change.
[56:48.800 --> 56:52.800]  So on July 10th, EDF Energy are launching Green Britain.
[56:52.800 --> 56:57.800]  Join in at teamgreenbritain.org.
[56:57.800 --> 57:00.800]  In association with the Eden Project.
[57:00.800 --> 57:01.800]  Where's your white shirt?
[57:01.800 --> 57:02.800]  I'm wearing it.
[57:02.800 --> 57:03.800]  But it's grey.
[57:03.800 --> 57:04.800]  And still stained.
[57:04.800 --> 57:05.800]  Don't worry.
[57:05.800 --> 57:08.800]  New Vanish Crystal White Intelligence Plus is perfect for
[57:08.800 --> 57:11.800]  removing tough stains and undoing the dullness repeated
[57:11.800 --> 57:12.800]  washing creates.
[57:12.800 --> 57:14.800]  To help stain and show your laundry, just add a scoop to
[57:14.800 --> 57:15.800]  every wash.
[57:15.800 --> 57:19.800]  And like that, you'll be able to get rid of all the dust and
[57:19.800 --> 57:22.800]  dirt from your laundry.
[57:22.800 --> 57:25.800]  And like detergent alone, its stain-seeking technology finds
[57:25.800 --> 57:28.800]  and helps remove tough stains like this strawberry.
[57:28.800 --> 57:29.800]  See?
[57:29.800 --> 57:30.800]  Stains gone.
[57:30.800 --> 57:31.800]  And much whiter too.
[57:31.800 --> 57:33.800]  Game set and match to Vanish.
[57:33.800 --> 57:34.800]  Trust Pink.
[57:34.800 --> 57:36.800]  Forget stains.
[57:36.800 --> 57:39.800]  Imagine the ultimate music festival.
[57:39.800 --> 57:40.800]  No mud.
[57:40.800 --> 57:41.800]  No camping.
[57:41.800 --> 57:43.800]  No portaloos.
[57:43.800 --> 57:45.800]  And a dream line-up.
[57:45.800 --> 57:46.800]  The Who.
[57:46.800 --> 57:48.800]  Neil Young.
[57:48.800 --> 57:49.800]  Andy Cash.
[57:49.800 --> 57:50.800]  Elvis.
[57:50.800 --> 57:52.800]  The Rolling Stones.
[57:52.800 --> 57:53.800]  Hendrix.
[57:53.800 --> 57:54.800]  Bob Marley.
[57:54.800 --> 57:55.800]  And many more.
[57:55.800 --> 57:59.800]  A weekend of awe-inspiring back-to-back performances.
[57:59.800 --> 58:05.800]  SofaFest starts Friday 26th June on SkyArts1 and SkyArts1 HD.
[58:05.800 --> 58:08.800]  Coming up on Sky News at 6, all the big stories tonight,
[58:08.800 --> 58:11.800]  including Goodwin gives in, the former boss of RBS changes his
[58:11.800 --> 58:13.800]  mind on his pension payout.
[58:13.800 --> 58:16.800]  Payback for Cameron as the Conservative leader fails to
[58:16.800 --> 58:18.800]  escape the expenses scandal.
[58:18.800 --> 58:21.800]  And royal competition as the Princes William and Harry take
[58:21.800 --> 58:27.800]  on pilot training together.
[58:27.800 --> 58:31.800]  This afternoon over Hong Kong, we expect to see a downpour of
[58:31.800 --> 58:36.800]  vintage champagne.
[58:36.800 --> 58:37.800]  Hello there.
[58:37.800 --> 58:39.800]  We're going to see a gradual improvement in the weather over
[58:39.800 --> 58:40.800]  the weekend.
[58:40.800 --> 58:42.800]  And once the high pressure builds, it should stay with us
[58:42.800 --> 58:43.800]  through much of next week.
[58:43.800 --> 58:45.800]  But certainly today we've seen showers.
[58:45.800 --> 58:47.800]  The showers really have been quite sharp.
[58:47.800 --> 58:49.800]  Particularly up towards the north and the west.
[58:49.800 --> 58:50.800]  Some rumbles of thunder.
[58:50.800 --> 58:52.800]  Some more prolonged periods of rain.
[58:52.800 --> 58:53.800]  And down towards the south.
[58:53.800 --> 58:55.800]  It's been rather disappointingly cloudy.
[58:55.800 --> 58:57.800]  Well, certainly as we go through the rest of this evening and
[58:57.800 --> 58:59.800]  overnight, expect some further heavy showers.
[58:59.800 --> 59:02.800]  These mainly from parts of north Wales, north Midlands, north
[59:02.800 --> 59:03.800]  woods.
[59:03.800 --> 59:05.800]  It's that area of low pressure up towards the north west,
[59:05.800 --> 59:08.800]  which is going to pass eastwards across parts of Scotland.
[59:08.800 --> 59:10.800]  And that's going to take the worst of the showers with it.
[59:10.800 --> 59:12.800]  But that's going to happen overnight.
[59:12.800 --> 59:14.800]  Elsewhere, we should lose some of the cloud from the south.
[59:14.800 --> 59:16.800]  It's going to be a fairly bright affair.
[59:16.800 --> 59:19.800]  Eventually, temperatures reaching around 21 degrees Celsius.
[59:19.800 --> 59:20.800]  That's 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
[59:20.800 --> 59:23.800]  But the general feel on the day is going to be quite breezy.
[59:23.800 --> 59:25.800]  We're going to keep those winds quite brisk.
[59:25.800 --> 59:27.800]  One or two isolated showers around.
[59:27.800 --> 59:30.800]  But the majority following on in the wake of that low pressure
[59:30.800 --> 59:32.800]  area into northern and western areas.
[59:32.800 --> 59:35.800]  And eventually, those will most likely go down towards central
[59:35.800 --> 59:36.800]  parts.
[59:36.800 --> 59:38.800]  And eventually out towards the southeast.
[59:38.800 --> 59:40.800]  So as far as Saturday's concerned, temperatures lifting
[59:40.800 --> 59:42.800]  that little bit down in the south.
[59:42.800 --> 59:45.800]  A little more sunshine and much, much fewer showers.
