Eight years in the making, the European Parliament backs a big | :00:11. | :00:12. | |
Could it serve as a model for a future British deal, | :00:13. | :00:20. | |
Live from London, that's our top story on Thursday 16th February. | :00:21. | :00:38. | |
It's Canada's biggest trade deal since the controversial | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
North America Free Trade Agreement, but not everyone is a fan of CETA. | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
We'll run you through the details later in the show. | :00:46. | :00:51. | |
Also in the programme: Second time lucky? | :00:52. | :00:53. | |
Prosecutors in South Korea get another shot at arresting | :00:54. | :00:55. | |
Let's look at what is happening on the markets. The board is playing up | :00:56. | :01:08. | |
a little, I'm afraid, we can see the Footsie slipped a little after a bit | :01:09. | :01:10. | |
of a lacklustre run in Asia. Do you fancy yourself | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
as a James Bond... Later in the programme, | :01:16. | :01:17. | |
we'll speak to the boss of a company providing | :01:18. | :01:26. | |
high octane team-building exercises. Exciting or just excessive? | :01:27. | :01:28. | |
Stay tuned and decide for yourself! Also today, Nokia could be | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
resurrecting the iconic 3310 phones. So we want to know, | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
what retro technology would you like to bring back? | :01:37. | :01:38. | |
Just use the hashtag, #BBCBizLive. After eight years of negotiations, | :01:39. | :01:48. | |
the EU parliament has approved a landmark free trade deal | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
with Canada. Lawmakers in Strasbourg voted | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
in favour of the so-called CETA agreement, which is hoped to add | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
billions of dollars both Once fully implemented, | :02:05. | :02:06. | |
the deal will eliminate 99% of the tariffs between | :02:07. | :02:14. | |
Canada and the EU. And the European Commission | :02:15. | :02:16. | |
estimates that this could increase trade between the two regions | :02:17. | :02:18. | |
by nearly a quarter. Now that the EU Parliament has | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
given the green light to the deal, both sides can start | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
removing trade barriers. But the agreement goes | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
beyond the simple removal of tariffs and calls for further reforms | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
which would require ratification This includes the controversial | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
measures such as the creation of a dedicated | :02:36. | :02:44. | |
court to settle disputes CETA is Canada's biggest trade deal | :02:45. | :02:46. | |
since the North America Some campaign groups have pointed to | :02:47. | :02:58. | |
CETA as a potential model for Brexit, once the UK formally leaves | :02:59. | :03:00. | |
the European Union. Andreas Hoepner, is an Associate | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
Professor of Finance Great to have you with us in the | :03:04. | :03:12. | |
studio. A lot of MEPs giving themselves pats on the back, using | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
words like, a watershed moment, EU trade policy will never be the same, | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
so who is the biggest winner, the EU or Canada? | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
I would say both are winners, but the biggest winner is Canada. Canada | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
will have access coming forward to the North American market, and the | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
European market. Europe certainly is a winner, following 2016, it is a | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
successful Europe. The biggest winner within Europe, I think is | :03:39. | :03:45. | |
France, because of the relationship with a French-speaking area. | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
That is a good point. Are we here, with there? It has still got to be | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
ratified, and I write, by all the members. And that was little | :03:55. | :04:02. | |
Belgium! The French speaking part of Belgium. | :04:03. | :04:12. | |
Region parliament has two ratify everything, so there are a lot of | :04:13. | :04:20. | |
steps to go through. -- has two ratify. It seems quite likely that | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
it is all going the right way. We have elections, could they | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
disrupt? If Germany gets a change, the Netherlands, could it change the | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
deal? We have seen a level of opposition | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
as well. All the protesters that stormed the European Parliament | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
building, dressed up, saying it was a poor deal, anti-globalisation | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
protesters, and that strength of feeling is growing, isn't it? | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
We have elections. Election forecasts are difficult bees days. | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
Don't listen to the polls! It could change the European Union | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
more generally. The protesters are important, and make a lot of | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
relevant points, from an environment perspective, but if you ask them to | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
pick a deal, nearly everyone would take CETA. Essentially, some of the | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
concerns have been heard. The deal has been made better from their | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
perspective to a degree, and the protest will continue, but it is | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
better for Europe of the two deals. Some suggest it is such a good deal, | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
the model of it, not we, says the Australian, the Brits, as a possible | :05:31. | :05:37. | |
model to use a trade model for when Brexit happens. | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
The Brits can very much look at it as a deal for them, and Canada, and | :05:42. | :05:51. | |
for the UK and Europe deal, it doesn't cover financial services, | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
and that is an important point. It does not cover it all. The same | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
question, does Europe see it as a potential deal, or look to | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
Switzerland and Norway four separate deals? I do really think it is | :06:05. | :06:11. | |
relevant. Andreas Hoepner, thank you for your | :06:12. | :06:13. | |
time and for coming in. Donald Trump's choice for labour | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
secretary has pulled out of the race Andrew Puzder lost the support | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
of several Republican senators after he admitted employing | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
an illegal immigrant The fast-food billionaire had been | :06:26. | :06:27. | |
criticised for his remarks on women He's the first Trump cabinet pick | :06:28. | :06:34. | |
to fail to secure a nomination. Internet group Yahoo has reportedly | :06:35. | :06:42. | |
agreed a price cut on its initial Verizon's purchase of Yahoo's core | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
internet arm was put in doubt last year after disclosure | :06:46. | :06:55. | |
of two cyber attacks. Several reports in the US said Yahoo | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
has now accepted a price cut of up to $350 million and agreed to share | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
liability with Verizon News of the renegotiated terms | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
was first reported by Bloomberg, which said an announcement | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
could come this week. Elsewhere, Snapchat, all the | :07:12. | :07:32. | |
Internet giant's throne contenders, look at Snapchat. | :07:33. | :07:39. | |
They said it could be 25 billion, this is when it goes public, and | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
lists in New York on the stock exchange. It came up with a | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
valuation of 19.5 billion to 22.2 billion. It has never made a profit, | :07:50. | :07:55. | |
and it is a similar story to Facebook. | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
It is a unicorn. We know that already. Similar to five years ago | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
in 2012, with Facebook. Looking at Twitter as well, it is | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
still struggling. Everyone is saying the same that | :08:11. | :08:18. | |
Snapchat has to learn to monetise. It does succeed in having a lot of | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
younger users, which Twitter is failing to do. We will have two C. | :08:22. | :08:31. | |
Do you use it? -- we will have to see. | :08:32. | :08:40. | |
For the second time in three weeks, a court will decide whether to grant | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
a request to arrest the head of South Korea's largest company. | :08:45. | :08:46. | |
Will the prosecutors be lucky, if you will, this time? | :08:47. | :08:53. | |
We don't know yet. We will find out at the end of this week, but we | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
speak of the de facto head of Samsung group. He is trying to avoid | :08:59. | :09:09. | |
a second arrest warrant after allegations against him were widened | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
to include concealing a criminal profit and hiding assets overseas. | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
This is along with the earlier claims of bribery, embezzlement and | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
perjury. Mr Lee has denied wrongdoing. The South Korean | :09:24. | :09:36. | |
president has orally been impeached, hushed -- already been impeached. | :09:37. | :09:44. | |
While the arrest has been sought today, investigators have also today | :09:45. | :09:50. | |
been denied access to the blue house, South Korea's seat of power | :09:51. | :09:57. | |
to question the nation's president. The plot thickens. That is a story | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
we will stay across. There has been a starter in world markets. | :10:03. | :10:10. | |
Japan's Nikkei fell half a per cent over worry that perhaps the global | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
Another positive assessment of the US economy, | :10:15. | :10:21. | |
and reassurance over tax reform from President Donald Trump. | :10:22. | :10:27. | |
Lets take a quick look at how European indices have opened. | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
They are all down, they have pretty much run out of steam after that | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
lacklustre session in Asia. Michelle Fleury has | :10:37. | :10:38. | |
the details about what's ahead US stocks sale into Thursday powered | :10:39. | :10:53. | |
by record highs on the indexes. They all finished at all-time highs. | :10:54. | :10:59. | |
While the American Pluto system may feel like it is in chaos. The | :11:00. | :11:06. | |
economy is in rude health. Janet Yellin appeared at Capitol Hill on | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
Thursday and reiterated the strength of the US economy. And for proof, | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
she could point to retail sales, which again, were significantly | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
higher, and showed a good deal of strength. What about the other | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
pillar of the US economy? That is the housing market. With interest | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
rates going up, and with signs that there might be more rent rises to | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
come, what will it do to borrowing costs? What is the knock-on effect | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
for housing? Economists will be looking at housing starts, as well | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
as wielding permits for January as an early indication. | :11:44. | :11:51. | |
James, good to see you. Thanks for coming in. We want to start on the | :11:52. | :12:01. | |
US, the proposal, the border tax, and I believe all the US retailers | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
met Donald Trump yesterday and said they didn't want it. | :12:07. | :12:13. | |
It has not been reflected, the import tax could affect the bottom | :12:14. | :12:16. | |
line. Quite right. There has been a huge | :12:17. | :12:22. | |
wave of infusing as in, looking at it this one it. They have welcomed | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
the Trump agenda. They have argued for a lengthy period of two | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
challenges they face on taxation and regulation, and Mr Trump's headline | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
expectation. He will address the challenges, and it has gone down | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
well. A border charge, a tariff, it is a tax by a different route. That | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
is worrying, interns of the sustainability of the expected | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
earnings rate. The index of the larger companies in the United | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
States, pencilling in at 11 percentage points of this year, 12 | :12:54. | :13:02. | |
next. It allows the market to get reasonably to 2400 or 2500. More | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
than that, it looks like risky territory, as we seal real evidence | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
that we can get sustainable noninflationary growth. Given that | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
we have had employment at less than 5% to nine months in a row in the | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
States, it is hard to see that achieved. | :13:21. | :13:23. | |
You will take us through the papers when you come back. | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
Still to come: Do you fancy yourself | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
as a James Bond... Later in the programme, | :13:33. | :13:34. | |
we'll speak to the boss of a company providing | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
high octane team-building exercises. Exciting or just excessive? | :13:39. | :13:40. | |
Stay tuned and decide for yourself! You're with Business | :13:41. | :13:42. | |
Live from BBC News. Iceland has been ranked, the store, | :13:43. | :13:57. | |
the top supermarket for online shopping in a new Survey by Which? | :13:58. | :13:59. | |
magazine. Waitrose has come top | :14:00. | :14:01. | |
for instore experience. Asda has fallen to last place | :14:02. | :14:04. | |
behind Tesco and Sainsbury's. Richard Headland is the editor of | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
Which? magazine. a bit of a surprise, Richard. | :14:09. | :14:17. | |
What is Iceland doing? How has it edged ahead of Waitrose | :14:18. | :14:22. | |
and the big names you would expect, ploughing so much into online | :14:23. | :14:25. | |
deliveries. Iceland is still a relative newcomer | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
to the online shopping game. It is the second year running they have | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
come top in the online charts and are doing much better as an online | :14:35. | :14:41. | |
supermarket. Waitrose and M are coming tops again this year. | :14:42. | :14:44. | |
What is the secret of Iceland's success? What are they doing? Is it | :14:45. | :14:51. | |
just on cost, or is there something about the customer service? It must | :14:52. | :14:54. | |
be that as well. They do really well on value for | :14:55. | :14:57. | |
money. That is especially important when people are shopping online | :14:58. | :15:00. | |
because they are doing their big shops online and getting more stuff | :15:01. | :15:07. | |
delivered. It is also really good on substitutions, the driver service, | :15:08. | :15:09. | |
convenient delivery slots. It is making sure you get the stuff you | :15:10. | :15:14. | |
ordered when you expected to get it. Online is crucial now, isn't it, for | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
all the big supermarkets, and getting that right is really | :15:19. | :15:21. | |
essential for the bottom line. It is interesting to see Waitrose | :15:22. | :15:31. | |
top in the bricks and mortar but bottom of the online survey, it | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
there is scope for improvement with some of the big name, in the bricks | :15:36. | :15:42. | |
and mortar survey you have Aldi and Liddle challenging the likes of M | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
and Waitrose, five-stars for value for money, the quality of the | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
products is good. Some way to go on the quality of the instore | :15:52. | :15:54. | |
experience though. Richard, great stuff, we appreciate your time. | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
Short and sweet. Do you shop at Iceland? I don't think I have | :16:00. | :16:05. | |
ever... If it is cheaper I like it, I am not posh or stuck up with my | :16:06. | :16:13. | |
shops. Preponderance Tata worker, the Tata workers quid pro quo, they | :16:14. | :16:16. | |
voted yesterday to close their final salary pension scheme, which had | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
assets of about 15 billion. They want to have a job. Absolutely. | :16:21. | :16:30. | |
After eight years of negotiationses the EU par. Has approved a landmark | :16:31. | :16:34. | |

the deal will eliminate 99% of the tariffs between Canada | :16:44. | :16:46. | |
and the EU and the European Commission estimates that this | :16:47. | :16:48. | |
could increase trade between the two Have you ever dreamt | :16:49. | :16:51. | |
of being James Bond? One company says it can make | :16:52. | :17:04. | |
those dreams a reality! Secret Me is a company offering spy | :17:05. | :17:06. | |
experience weekends, which teach things like surveillance | :17:07. | :17:09. | |
and hand-to-hand combat. The packages are run by ex-special | :17:10. | :17:10. | |
forces operatives and are designed to let people find out how | :17:11. | :17:13. | |
they would react in But the price tag - | :17:14. | :17:16. | |
which can run up to ?250,000 for a fully immersive espionage | :17:17. | :17:19. | |
experience - means only Sara Fazlali is the | :17:20. | :17:21. | |
co-founder of Secret Me. Thafrn you. It is a huge price tag, | :17:22. | :17:59. | |
who is paying it? We have all sorts of clients, from hedge fund manager, | :18:00. | :18:05. | |
CEOs, A-lister, entrepreneur, to kind of just business people, and | :18:06. | :18:09. | |
traders who want to do something different and learn about | :18:10. | :18:14. | |
themselves, a bit more. I want to know, do I come to you and you have | :18:15. | :18:22. | |
a something like, I don't want to kill Susanna one day as a pretend. I | :18:23. | :18:29. | |
am fully trained. You could kill me. How does it work? We have a list of | :18:30. | :18:34. | |
packages and you have to do the first training weekend before you | :18:35. | :18:40. | |
can do the immersive kind of experience, I guess. And you can | :18:41. | :18:43. | |
choose between what we offer, so you can choose whether you want to do | :18:44. | :18:48. | |
driving or not. You can choose whether you want to do active | :18:49. | :18:55. | |
shooter or kidnap and hostage rescues, so within the different | :18:56. | :18:58. | |
skills you can say can we focus more on that one and we say do you want | :18:59. | :19:04. | |
to be Lara Croft or Jason born. You can adapt and change and make it | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
more about you and your group. The thing is, if you are an employer and | :19:09. | :19:16. | |
you realise your CEO has spend 250,000 on a weekend experience you | :19:17. | :19:21. | |
might be mightily... You might be might aggrieved I should say. Excuse | :19:22. | :19:28. | |
me. I I am using it in the American term The weekend is only 10,000. Oh, | :19:29. | :19:34. | |
?10,000 So it is a much different price tag between it and I don't | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
think it is, is there a price tag to kind of understanding yourself, how | :19:40. | :19:42. | |
you cope with stress, learning how to think in a different way when you | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
are under pressure? Is it a hard sell? Or when you start it about six | :19:48. | :19:52. | |
years ago. It was, because there is nothing else like us out there, it | :19:53. | :19:55. | |
was a very new product and getting people to understand it is not just | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
an experience you are learning real life skills that are useful in every | :20:00. | :20:04. | |
day scenarios as well, is, is a challenge. But now we have we are | :20:05. | :20:09. | |
almost six years old, people understand that, we have been out | :20:10. | :20:10. | |
there and we get a lot of return there and we get a lot of return | :20:11. | :20:15. | |
client, the CEOs are saying can we bring our entire team. You could get | :20:16. | :20:21. | |
the same experience if you signed up as a reSerb visit for the Armed | :20:22. | :20:27. | |
Forces. -- reservist. You rub offered the same kind of training. | :20:28. | :20:33. | |
We are not really. Our focus is on the psychology behind you, | :20:34. | :20:35. | |
understanding your psychology, how you cope with stress, how to use | :20:36. | :20:40. | |
that with other people. We teach seduction that how the mind and body | :20:41. | :20:46. | |
connect. I will sign up for that one! I can see you doing that one. | :20:47. | :20:52. | |
It does remind me of The Game. That is where it came from. I saw the | :20:53. | :20:56. | |
film. It came from two things, one is that film and I love the idea of | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
immersive thing that challenges you, we don't have my experiences in life | :21:01. | :21:04. | |
that help us find out what we are capable of. You can though gone on | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
mini experience, other companies provide things like you pay for an | :21:10. | :21:14. | |
evening to go on a date and escape from a locked room. Have you seen | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
more firms offering similar things? It is a different ballpark, it is | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
interesting for us, those one day experiences are something we could | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
do but for us it is about the immersiveness, we have special | :21:29. | :21:34. | |
forces and intelligence officers is as intruck stores, you are are | :21:35. | :21:37. | |
really being taught from the best of the best. If you turn round at the | :21:38. | :21:43. | |
end and you not good at surveillance you will never be, you understand | :21:44. | :21:46. | |
what that means and where your assets is lie. We will leave it | :21:47. | :21:52. | |
there, we really appreciate it. I am glad you said your name because I | :21:53. | :21:56. | |

James Bevan from CCLA Investment Management joins us again. | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
We are are have been talking about the dock -- Nokia, the come back of | :22:50. | :22:57. | |
the Nokia, that hand set that was so popular and went out of fashion, but | :22:58. | :23:02. | |
apparently, Nokia may be thinking about a revamp, do you think it will | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
fit well in this current market? If one were to say what surveys tell us | :23:08. | :23:14. | |
about people want, they want simplicity, they wand indestruct | :23:15. | :23:18. | |
built, they want low cost, simplicity of operation and a better | :23:19. | :23:25. | |
battery. The bat triis fabulous, one Samsung has a better one but very | :23:26. | :23:28. | |
few people wanted it because it didn't have the same sort of classic | :23:29. | :23:34. | |
functionality that the Nokia had. I worry in bringing it back they will | :23:35. | :23:37. | |
miss the fact that people would like it slightly upgraded, so they would | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
like basic additional features like Facebook. Smart stuff about it. Can | :23:43. | :23:49. | |
I say, thank you for your tweet, we asked you what other retro product | :23:50. | :23:56. | |
would you bring back. Terry said the Walkman. I agree with live in a | :23:57. | :24:00. | |
bubble of history where we remember the things we enjoy, we don't | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
remember how irritating it was when the cassettes got stuck in the | :24:06. | :24:11. | |
machine, I mentioned, a couple of other ones... Game Boy, that, Nokia | :24:12. | :24:22. | |
hand sets are sought after, the early versions aren't they, even | :24:23. | :24:27. | |
mobile phones... It be the 59 euros for the new one, that is the sort of | :24:28. | :24:31. | |
thing people going away for a weekend can take it and if they lose | :24:32. | :24:35. | |
it or break it, so what? It is not the same problem if you lose your | :24:36. | :24:39. | |
smartphone. Talking about battery life. Mineral is actually getting, | :24:40. | :24:46. | |
cobalt is getting really popular, hedge funds are stockpiling cobalt | :24:47. | :24:51. | |
and that is because there is demand from the ultra long life batteries. | :24:52. | :24:56. | |
Interestingly the consensus expectation is that the price will | :24:57. | :25:02. | |
fall from here through 2017 and 2018, the market is in great turmoil | :25:03. | :25:05. | |
in terms of trying to understand where it is going from here. There | :25:06. | :25:10. | |
are ethical issues because a lot of the cobalt is mined in thing on go | :25:11. | :25:17. | |
using child labour, this will cause a furore. Amazon on the brink of | :25:18. | :25:21. | |
launching its fashion label, do you think they could make a success? | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
Yes, they have been successful in food retailing. They have | :25:27. | :25:30. | |
demonstrated delivery and quality matter more than anything, they can | :25:31. | :25:34. | |
do both. They do. London Fashion Week launching... They have brands | :25:35. | :25:38. | |
already, they are doing a certain number of products and they are | :25:39. | :25:42. | |
demonstrating success. Thank you James. | :25:43. | :25:48. | |
Good morning. Bit more sunshine round today compared with yesterday, | :25:49. | :26:10. | |
it is zrieer foreEngland and Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland more of a | :26:11. | :26:13. | |
breeze compared with yesterday, that breeze comes because of a low | :26:14. | :26:18. | |
pressure to the north of Scotland, winds, touching gale force for a | :26:19. | :26:23. | |
few. We will see a lot more showers round, showers in western Scotland | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
this morning, only one or two reaching the east. Showers easing | :26:28. | :26:30. | |
into the afternoon but Northern Ireland after a bright Morning | :26:31. | :26:32. | |
Clouding over with rain. Much of England and Wales mist and fog this | :26:33. | :26:37. | |
morning clearing to leave a largely dry and sunny day, especially in | :26:38. | :26:40. | |
southern County, pleasant in the sunshine too, with a gentle breeze, | :26:41. | :26:45. | |
could see temperatures round Torbay, Exeter getting to 14. Other spots | :26:46. | :26:52. | |
close to 12, 13. Cloud into the Midlands, the outside chance of a | :26:53. | :26:57. | |
shower. Patchy rain to end the day. Damper end in Northern Ireland, | :26:58. | :27:02. | |
heavy bursts of rain, Scotland, showers tend to ease off, as does | :27:03. | :27:05. | |
the breeze, and some will finish the day with a bit of sunshine. | :27:06. | :27:09. | |
Temperatures above where they should be for the time of year. The rain in | :27:10. | :27:13. | |
Northern Ireland will come and go all night long. Extending in north | :27:14. | :27:17. | |
Wales, parts of north-west England and with a bit of light rain towards | :27:18. | :27:21. | |
the south-east, that cloudier zone is where temperatures will hold up. | :27:22. | :27:25. | |
To the south-west, may get a frost, greater chance of a frost, North | :27:26. | :27:31. | |
East England fog patches. It will take a while to shift. Lovely bright | :27:32. | :27:36. | |
day, lots of sur, a bit of sunshine at times in the south-west and South | :27:37. | :27:40. | |
Wales. Not as much as today, from Northern Ireland, through north-west | :27:41. | :27:44. | |
England, down to the Midland and the south-east, fairly cloudy day, some | :27:45. | :27:47. | |
sunny spells, temperatures where you get the sunshine and with light wind | :27:48. | :27:51. | |
feeling on the pleasant side, most above where it should be for the | :27:52. | :27:54. | |
time of year. Into the weekend, we stay with the temperatures above | :27:55. | :27:59. | |
where they should be. Nights on the cool side where skies are clear, | :28:00. | :28:02. | |
some sunshine round for all of us throughout the weekend. There will | :28:03. | :28:05. | |
be rain at times too. Northern and western parts of the UK, strong and | :28:06. | :28:10. | |
gusty winds, that rain Superintendent by the end of the | :28:11. | :28:13. | |
day. The further south and east you stay dry. Into Sunday we start with | :28:14. | :28:21. | |
patchy rain, that clears through to sunshine, a sunnier start. Wind into | :28:22. | :28:24. | |
Scotland later in the day. Enjoy your Thursday. | :28:25. | :28:26. |
