The new leaders of Libya call for the guns to come off the streets of

:00:06.:00:10.

Tripoli and tell the rebels to go home.

:00:10.:00:14.

They set out a framework to rule the country and promise democratic

:00:14.:00:20.

elections. Also on tonight's programme: The 15-year-old girl

killed by her ex-boyfriend. Her mother calls for the return of the

:00:23.:00:27.

death penalty. I do believe that he did it. He's

:00:27.:00:36.

not innocent. I will help anybody campaign to bring it back.

The markets take fright as new unemployment figures in America

:00:39.:00:45.

raise fears of a new recession. Claims some bread can contain as

:00:45.:00:50.

much salt per slice as a packet of crisps.

I will be the most despised woman in the world. Madonna tells us why

she identified with Wallis Simpson, the subject of her new film. Once

:01:03.:01:07.

you become a public figure, or a celebrity, it is very hard for

:01:07.:01:13.

people to give you more than one dimension to live in.

Coming up in sport: A disappointing day in Daegu for Team GB as the men

miss out on the medals in the 4 x Good evening. Welcome to the BBC

:01:42.:01:45.

News at Six. Libya's National Transitional Council says most of

:01:45.:01:49.

the country is now secure and safe and it is a matter of time before

:01:49.:01:52.

Colonel Gaddafi is caught or killed. It follows a defiant message from

:01:52.:01:56.

the former Libyan leader in which he vowed to fight a long guerrilla

:01:56.:02:01.

war. Much of Libya is now under the control of rebel forces including

:02:01.:02:06.

Tripoli. These are the only key towns still controlled by Colonel

:02:06.:02:09.

Gaddafi's forces, including Bani Walid, where the former leader may

:02:09.:02:17.

be hiding. As well as Gaddafi, the hunt is on for his sons. Libya's

:02:17.:02:23.

new leaders have set out a timetable for democratic change in

:02:23.:02:26.

the country. They have also called for the guns to be taken off the

:02:26.:02:30.

streets of Tripoli and any rebels who are not from the capital to

:02:30.:02:33.

return home. Jeremy Bowen is in Tripoli and he's been speaking to

:02:33.:02:43.

senior members of the new government.

:02:43.:02:53.
:02:53.:02:53.

A lot of fervour and guns. Tripoli is in its revolutionary honeymoon,

:02:53.:02:56.

even though Colonel Gaddafi is still at large and parts of the

:02:56.:03:01.

country are controlled by his men. Those people in the capital, who

:03:01.:03:07.

supported the Colonel, keep well away from crowds these days. The

:03:07.:03:11.

streets of Tripoli are still dominated by young fighters. They

:03:11.:03:14.

have moved into the power vacuum left by Colonel Gaddafi. As far as

:03:14.:03:19.

they are concerned, this is their revolution. Libya's new civilian

:03:20.:03:22.

leaders in the National Transitional Council are trying to

:03:22.:03:27.

start the process of persuading them to go home. I'm not too

:03:27.:03:32.

concerned by the guns right now. We need the guns to hunt this killer,

:03:32.:03:37.

but my concern is, when you talk about democracy, when you talk

:03:37.:03:45.

about civil society, you don't want to do that with anti-aircraft guns.

:03:45.:03:51.

GUNFIRE Tripoli's new military headquarters was an American

:03:51.:03:55.

airbase before the Gaddafi years. Its commander was arrested once and

:03:55.:04:03.

he said tortured by the CIA. He's the co-founder in the '90s of a

:04:03.:04:06.

fighting group the Americans said was a terrorist organisation with

:04:06.:04:12.

links to Al-Qaeda. He says all he ever wanted to do was overthrow the

:04:12.:04:17.

Colonel. He says they have a good idea where Gaddafi is, he will get

:04:17.:04:22.

a fair trial if he surrenders and if he won't surrender they will

:04:22.:04:28.

kill him. Bab Al-Aziziya has become a place to take the children. It

:04:28.:04:33.

was the nerve centre of the Gaddafi regime. Now, they write rude

:04:33.:04:37.

messages about him. Assuming they can kill or capture Colonel Gaddafi,

:04:37.:04:42.

this will become the most complete Arab revolution so far. He created

:04:42.:04:49.

a quirky and unique system of government. That's already

:04:49.:04:52.

dissolved so Libya's new leaders have to find a new way to run this

:04:52.:04:57.

country and they have to take the people with them. If they can do it,

:04:57.:05:06.

it will be a huge achievement. We can talk to Jeremy now in

:05:06.:05:10.

Tripoli. You have been talking to people there. Is there a sense that

:05:10.:05:13.

the National Transitional Council is beginning to get a grip on

:05:13.:05:20.

things? Well, they are there and they are recognised by the big

:05:20.:05:26.

powers of the world and the man in the piece who I was talking to is

:05:26.:05:29.

their senior representative here. He's trying to get the guns off the

:05:29.:05:34.

streets. Down there, you might have heard some gunfire - they are

:05:34.:05:37.

preparing for a demonstration. There has been quite a bit of

:05:37.:05:41.

celebratory fire. Big stuff going up in the air as well. While they

:05:41.:05:44.

are tolerating it for the time being, they are saying it can't go

:05:44.:05:47.

on for a long time. We will see what happens in the next few days

:05:47.:05:51.

because he says there will be fewer guns and more police on the streets.

:05:51.:05:55.

Up till now, there is no sign of that happening. How destabilising

:05:55.:06:00.

is it that Colonel Gaddafi keeps popping up and broadcasting defiant

:06:00.:06:05.

messages? I think in all Libyans who don't like Colonel Gaddafi

:06:05.:06:12.

there is this worm of doubt. While he is still there, they can't

:06:12.:06:17.

really be sure that he won't come back in some form to haunt their

:06:17.:06:21.

lives again. While they are behaving here, they are celebrating

:06:21.:06:27.

- there is a ship tooting its siren there as well to join in - while

:06:27.:06:29.

they are celebrating this extraordinary revolutionary

:06:29.:06:34.

honeymoon, the fact is, he is still in the country and he is a reminder

:06:34.:06:39.

of everything that went before and which they hope will be no part

:06:39.:06:44.

whatsoever of their future. Thank you.

:06:44.:06:48.

A teenage boy described by a judge as devious, calculating and

:06:48.:06:52.

controlling has been jailed for a minimum of 14 years for murdering

:06:52.:06:56.

his 15-year-old ex-girlfriend. Joshua Davies killed Rebecca

:06:56.:07:00.

Aylward in October last year by hitting her repeatedly with a rock

:07:00.:07:03.

in woodland near Bridgend. Swansea Crown Court heard how Davies had

:07:03.:07:06.

discussed killing her in texts and on the internet with one of his

:07:06.:07:11.

friends joking that he would buy him breakfast if he carried out his

:07:11.:07:16.

threat. This is 16-year-old Joshua Davies

:07:16.:07:22.

who a judge described as devious, calculating and controlled. He

:07:22.:07:26.

lured his ex-girlfriend into this stretch of woodland where he

:07:26.:07:32.

battered her to death with a rock. His victim was Rebecca Aylward. The

:07:32.:07:37.

court was told she trusted and loved him. The two had dated for

:07:37.:07:43.

several months. After today's sentence, Rebecca's family said her

:07:43.:07:50.

death had cast a permanent shadow over them. It seems like it's just

:07:50.:07:57.

happened. We haven't been able to move on at all. I don't think we

:07:57.:08:04.

will for a while. We just feel just as bad, don't we? It is devastating.

:08:04.:08:13.

She was like a second mother to me. Devastated. Davies murdered Rebecca

:08:13.:08:19.

in October last year. Her body was found face down in these woods near

:08:19.:08:24.

Bridgend, a day after she was reported missing. The trial heard

:08:24.:08:28.

that he openly plotted to kill Rebecca during an exchange of text

:08:28.:08:38.
:08:38.:08:57.

messages with one of his friends. At the time, this friend thought it

:08:57.:09:01.

was all a sick joke. But after discovering that Rebecca had been

:09:01.:09:07.

murdered he reported it to the police. When Joshua Davies invited

:09:07.:09:12.

Rebecca to this spot last year, she thought he wanted to rekindle their

:09:12.:09:15.

relationship. But the truth couldn't have been any more

:09:15.:09:20.

different. It was said in court that he killed her because of a

:09:20.:09:25.

deep-seated hatred. Davies, who has denied the murder and shown no

:09:25.:09:34.

remorse, was told he will serve a minimum of 14 years.

:09:34.:09:37.

Fears grew today that the US economy could slip back into

:09:37.:09:42.

recession after the latest monthly figures showed no increase in the

:09:42.:09:47.

number of people with jobs. The gloomy data, which was worse than

:09:47.:09:51.

predicted, led to falls in stock markets on both sides of the

:09:51.:09:58.

Atlantic. On Wall Street today, the opening

:09:58.:10:03.

bell was rung by smiling business women who have created jobs. The

:10:03.:10:07.

bitter irony because the US economy as a whole has not. On both sides

:10:07.:10:13.

of the Atlantic, markets fell on news that job creation here was all

:10:13.:10:16.

but paralysed. Some 14 million Americans are out of work. Over the

:10:16.:10:20.

past year, the economy had been adding jobs at a painfully slow

:10:20.:10:25.

rate, but in August the number of hirings and firings cancelled each

:10:25.:10:30.

other out, meaning net job creation was zero. The American population

:10:30.:10:35.

grows each month by 130,000. We need that many jobs to stay even.

:10:35.:10:39.

We didn't create any jobs at all. Unemployment is alarming high and

:10:39.:10:46.

it is unlikely to fall in the near future. For Barack Obama,

:10:46.:10:52.

unemployment is more than an Achilles heel, it is a big bull's-

:10:52.:10:56.

eye on his presidency. The job numbers deepen fears of a double-

:10:56.:11:00.

dip recession. Next week, the President will unveil a highly

:11:00.:11:04.

anticipated jobs package combining tax breaks for employers with a

:11:04.:11:09.

proposed upgrade of America's roads and railways, creating construction

:11:09.:11:14.

work. At this Jobcentre in Virginia, we found mixed opinions as to

:11:14.:11:20.

whether the Government can make a difference. He is digging things -

:11:20.:11:24.

I don't agree everything he has done. I did vote for him. I'm not

:11:24.:11:29.

sure at this point the Government can do so much. The cash

:11:29.:11:33.

constraints are there. Not sure there is anything they can do

:11:33.:11:37.

meaningfully. There is a catch-22 here. For the economy to grow,

:11:37.:11:40.

companies must hire workers and invest, but they will only do that

:11:40.:11:46.

when they see evidence of growth. The President, departing for Camp

:11:46.:11:53.

David, knows it is about confidence and right now there isn't any.

:11:53.:11:58.

We can speak to Mark Mardell in Washington. How bad is this for the

:11:58.:12:03.

US economy and for the President? Well, it is the first time since

:12:03.:12:09.

World War Two that there has been no overall creation of jobs. It is

:12:09.:12:13.

a neat symbol of an economy that seems to have stagnated, it won't

:12:13.:12:17.

grow. Of course, that is bad for a President who wants to be re-

:12:17.:12:21.

elected next year. He's got this big speech on a jobs package next

:12:21.:12:25.

week. That is more about politics than economics because the

:12:25.:12:30.

Republicans will probably kill all the ideas in it. So 2012 is set for

:12:30.:12:33.

a big argument about two very different visions - about how to

:12:33.:12:40.

create jobs. It will be all about jobs. In the last hour, the Crown

:12:40.:12:43.

Prosecution Service has said it's dropping charges against a nurse

:12:43.:12:46.

accused in connection with the deaths of patients at a hospital in

:12:46.:12:50.

Stockport. The CPS says there is insufficient evidence for a trial

:12:50.:12:54.

to proceed against 27-year-old Rebecca Leighton. Judith Moritz is

:12:54.:13:01.

at the hospital. What more can you tell us? Rebecca Leighton had faced

:13:01.:13:06.

three charges of causing criminal damage with intent to endanger life

:13:06.:13:09.

after it was suspected that medical supplies had been tampered with,

:13:09.:13:13.

that insulin had been added to saline products. She was charged in

:13:13.:13:17.

July but let go this afternoon, we understand that she left prison

:13:17.:13:20.

this afternoon. Those charges have been dropped. Greater Manchester

:13:20.:13:25.

Police, whose case this is, say that the case is not over. They say

:13:25.:13:28.

that although Rebecca Leighton has been let go, they now have reason

:13:28.:13:33.

to believe that as many as 40 patients here at Stepping Hill may

:13:33.:13:36.

have had their medical products tampered with and they believe

:13:36.:13:39.

seven of those patients may have died as a result. The police say

:13:39.:13:43.

they are not launching a murder investigation but instead they are

:13:43.:13:47.

calling it an enquiry into suspicious deaths. They say that

:13:47.:13:53.

this is one of the most challenging and complex enquiries they have

:13:53.:13:57.

ever had to deal with. Lastly, the Crown Prosecution Service, who were

:13:58.:14:01.

involved in bringing those charges against Rebecca Leighton, have

:14:01.:14:06.

explained this afternoon that she was charged under "the threshold

:14:06.:14:09.

test" which means that when they brought the charges they didn't

:14:10.:14:13.

quite have enough evidence against her. They believed that would

:14:13.:14:23.
:14:23.:14:24.

emerge in time. It hasn't and as a A teenage go macro Grand Prix men

:14:24.:14:28.

have been jailed for plotting to kidnap and rape two 16 year olds in

:14:28.:14:32.

Lancashire. Stephanie Knight told the girls they were going clubbing,

:14:32.:14:35.

but instead they were lured to a house where they were sexually

:14:35.:14:41.

assaulted. Two brothers and their cousin had been given indeterminate

:14:41.:14:44.

sentences for the attacks, which happened in Accrington two years

:14:44.:14:48.

ago. There's been a big increase in the number of people convicted of

:14:48.:14:54.

child sex abuse offences in England and Wales, up almost 57 %. It's

:14:54.:15:00.

believed the rise is because more offenders are being caught. For the

:15:00.:15:03.

first time, the BBC has obtained a more comprehensive measure of

:15:03.:15:08.

convictions for the sex abuse of children in England and Wales. It

:15:08.:15:14.

includes the most serious crime of rape. In 2005, 1363 people were

:15:14.:15:20.

convicted of child sex abuse. By last year, the figure was 2135 - an

:15:20.:15:24.

increase of nearly 57 %. That doesn't mean abuse is more

:15:24.:15:28.

widespread. Police believe the rise in convictions is down to better

:15:28.:15:33.

detection and awareness. We think it's part of a number of signs that

:15:33.:15:37.

we see that children who are victims of terrible crimes are

:15:37.:15:41.

becoming more confident to come forward and tell their stories. For

:15:41.:15:46.

us, that's an important step in the right direction. Peter Saunders was

:15:46.:15:50.

sexually abused as a child and now works with victims. He says only a

:15:50.:15:54.

minority actually see their abuser convicted. The figures we are

:15:54.:15:58.

talking about are the tip of the iceberg. But it is undoubtedly one

:15:58.:16:07.

of the hardest crimes to convict. It goes on behind closed doors and

:16:07.:16:09.

prosecuting an historic case, when people are brave enough to come

:16:09.:16:15.

forward, is extremely difficult. The NSPCC suggests that one in 20

:16:15.:16:18.

secondary school children have been sexually assaulted, and that last

:16:18.:16:22.

year police in England and Wales were notified of 23,000 offences.

:16:22.:16:28.

10 times the number of convictions. But it's the Internet which is

:16:28.:16:31.

increasingly worrying child protection groups. Nearly 300

:16:31.:16:37.

people have been convicted of grooming children online since 2004.

:16:37.:16:41.

And this helpline for child sex abusers has seen a huge increase in

:16:41.:16:45.

the number of men who admitted using images of child abuse on the

:16:45.:16:49.

internet. Hour helpline has been enormous numbers of people

:16:49.:16:53.

contacting us. Men, mostly because of their consumption of child

:16:53.:16:56.

pornography. Some of them because they are regrettable that they did

:16:56.:17:00.

it and hope it doesn't come back to haunt them. Others, because they

:17:00.:17:03.

are troubled about why they did it and what it means about their risk

:17:03.:17:07.

to children. And others because they have been arrested and they

:17:07.:17:12.

don't know what their future has in store. The majority of child sex

:17:12.:17:16.

abuse still remains unreported. The government will soon announce new

:17:16.:17:25.

measures to try to change that. Our top story - the new leaders of

:17:25.:17:29.

rebels to go home, as they plan democratic elections. Up Close And

Several types of bread can contain as much salt per slice as a packet

:18:05.:18:09.

of crisps. High salt levels are often found in fresh baked loaves

:18:09.:18:13.

in shops and supermarkets, rather than packaged bread board off the

:18:13.:18:17.

shelf. That's according to a group of medical experts campaigning to

:18:17.:18:24.

reduce salt in our diets. We all need salt, but too much can raise

:18:24.:18:28.

blood pressure, which is linked to heart disease and stroke. The

:18:28.:18:33.

government recommends no more than six grams of salt a day for adults.

:18:33.:18:38.

But average consumption is 8.5 grams. Most salt we eat is not

:18:38.:18:42.

added at the table, but it's already in our food - such as bread,

:18:42.:18:48.

one of the major sources of salt in diet. Bread manufacturers have cut

:18:48.:18:52.

salt levels by around a third in the past decade. But not enough,

:18:52.:18:56.

according to campaigners. They looked at nearly 300 different

:18:56.:19:00.

loaves. Although most met the current maximum level of 1.1 grams

:19:00.:19:06.

of salt per 100 grams of bread, about two thick slices, more than

:19:06.:19:10.

one in three would fail a lower target of one gram of salt per 100

:19:10.:19:15.

grams of bread, coming in next year. He few are buying pre-packaged

breakfast and sandwiches for lunch, you can cut out a few grams by it

swopping. The research found that premium speciality breads, which

:19:36.:19:40.

some assume is a healthy option, generally contained a lot more salt

:19:40.:19:45.

than mass produced, sliced bread. This love contains two-and-a-half

:19:45.:19:50.

times as much salt per 100 grams as this one. Standard bread that we

:19:50.:19:53.

buy in the supermarket, that has seen massive reductions in salt.

:19:53.:19:59.

Yes, there are still some problems with some speciality products, but

:19:59.:20:04.

those armed routinely bought and consumed. Therefore be volume of

:20:04.:20:07.

salt we can see men bread every day in this country has dropped

:20:07.:20:12.

dramatically in the last decade. His artisan French Baker, Paul,

:20:12.:20:16.

which has dozens of shops around London, had among the highest salt

:20:16.:20:20.

levels in its bread. It says as a result of the survey it has

:20:20.:20:27.

immediately reduced its salt content. Its millions of pounds

:20:27.:20:30.

over budget and several years later. Until just a few hours ago,

:20:30.:20:34.

spiralling costs meant Edinburgh's new tram network was not even going

:20:34.:20:38.

to run into the city centre. Councillors have reversed that

:20:38.:20:45.

decision. This is one of Edinburgh's main streets. The track

:20:45.:20:48.

has already been laid, but for a while it looked as if the trams

:20:48.:20:52.

would never arrive. That has changed now in what has become a

very long running saga. This is what it should look like. And 11

there's been contractual disputes, cost overruns and long delays. And

Nobody wanted it and now we are having to pay for it. It's been a

think I would be very rude. This project has lurched from crisis to

:21:28.:21:32.

crisis, and now a U-turn on the decision to further short and the

:21:32.:21:38.

route. The trams will now run to the city centre after all.

:21:38.:21:41.

decision did this city's reputation no good. People could not

:21:41.:21:45.

understand why we would want to have a tramline that went to when

:21:45.:21:50.

nobody wanted to go and we would always run at a loss. A trams have

:21:50.:21:54.

juddered from one controversy to the next. The original route would

:21:54.:21:57.

have connected one side of the city to the other, but that was scaled

:21:57.:22:00.

back to the city centre and revised again to terminate at Haymarket. At

:22:00.:22:06.

the same time, costs have soared. The original �545 million price tag

:22:06.:22:11.

has ballooned. It's now estimated at more than �770 million. By the

:22:11.:22:18.

time that loan is paid off, but costs will have reached �1 billion.

:22:18.:22:22.

Many along the proposed route to say that business is now getting

:22:22.:22:26.

better but they've still been left counting the cost. I feel very

:22:26.:22:29.

strongly about the project. It's been mismanaged and has cost me in

:22:29.:22:33.

excess of �100,000. Its cost many people their livelihoods on the

:22:33.:22:38.

tram route. Having an open chequebook could be disastrous for

:22:38.:22:41.

the city. It's like a gambler who has lost his car and is now getting

:22:41.:22:47.

his house on the outcome. So what of the City's reputation? This

:22:48.:22:52.

whole saga has been so sad. It's done no credit to this city

:22:52.:22:56.

whatsoever. It could have and should have been handled so much

:22:56.:23:00.

differently. There are still potential problems ahead. No date

:23:01.:23:04.

for when the trams will start and no apparent guarantee that the

:23:04.:23:09.

overall bill won't rise still further. Even if we now know when

:23:09.:23:15.

the end of the line will be. And even though the trams are not yet

:23:15.:23:19.

operational, the tram tracks are already in need of repair. This

:23:19.:23:27.

street is set to be closed from next week. People living here are

:23:27.:23:33.

saying things couldn't get worse. Celtic have been reinstated him to

:23:33.:23:37.

the euro -- into the Europa League after FC Sion were expelled from

:23:37.:23:41.

the competition for fielding ineligible players during their win.

:23:41.:23:46.

FC Sion have three days to appeal against the verdict. Her career in

:23:46.:23:49.

music has been a long and successful one, but Madonna's film

:23:49.:23:53.

career has been less glittering. Her new film tells the story of

:23:53.:23:58.

Wallis Simpson, whose affair with Edward VII scandalised Britain and

:23:58.:24:02.

led to his abdication. In her only British interview, Madonna has been

:24:02.:24:05.

talking to our arts editor about what she hoped to achieve with the

:24:05.:24:11.

film. The report contains flash photography. Enter Madonna.

:24:11.:24:16.

Performing for the cameras. She is promoting her new film, though this

:24:16.:24:22.

time she's not the start but the director. It's not usual for this

:24:22.:24:26.

much faster be made about a rookie film director. But then Madonna is

:24:26.:24:32.

hardly typical. She's very famous and she gets treated rather

:24:32.:24:42.
:24:42.:24:43.

differently. What's wrong? subject of celebrity is an

:24:43.:24:47.

essential theme running through her new film, W.E.. It tells the story

:24:47.:24:51.

of Wallis Simpson's affair with Edward VII. Let's stop this talk

:24:51.:24:56.

about marriage. I can't see any good coming from it. And considers

:24:56.:25:02.

what the future Duchess of Windsor lost by becoming a public figure.

:25:02.:25:07.

will be the most despised woman in the world. The price of fame is an

:25:07.:25:13.

issue close to the director's heart. Once you become a public figure or

:25:13.:25:19.

a celebrity, it's very hard for people to give you more than one

:25:19.:25:23.

dimension to live in. You are reduced to a soundbite. It can

:25:23.:25:27.

often be frustrating because you spend most of your time-saving,

:25:27.:25:32.

that's not me, that's not what I said or did. I'm sure that Wallis

:25:32.:25:37.

Simpson felt the same way. A Wallis Simpson story is well known, it

:25:37.:25:40.

featured in the Oscar-winning the King's Speech. So Madonna has added

:25:40.:25:49.

another element. A parallel story about an obsessed Manhattan dweller

:25:49.:25:54.

who has a complicated love life. To mix two stories and two time frames

:25:54.:25:57.

would be a challenge for an experienced director. For a

:25:57.:26:02.

relatively new one, it's a huge undertaking. A nightmare! The

:26:02.:26:05.

details of the stories and the world they lived in, the luxury,

:26:05.:26:10.

the objects... I don't know what I was thinking when I was writing the

:26:11.:26:18.

script. The film has divided critic, from light and warm, to pure scorn.

:26:18.:26:22.

But the director of Black Swan thinks the Material Girl has come

:26:22.:26:26.

up with the goods. Everyone has seen the King's Speech. To see

:26:26.:26:33.

another window into that story was fascinating. Now the stuttering

:26:33.:26:37.

King is a supporting actor played by a different actor. It's just

:26:37.:26:41.

interesting to see how we different artist approaches that universe and

:26:41.:26:47.

how they fit together is pretty cool. At the end of the press

:26:47.:26:52.

conference there was this bizarre scene. Hardened hacks turned into

:26:52.:26:59.

diehard fans desperate for an autograph. An ironic episode given

:26:59.:27:06.

that B-movie questions the cult of celebrity. -- given that the movie

:27:06.:27:13.

It's gorgeous for some of us, it's been a lovely day today. But for a

:27:13.:27:19.

few it is going to be a bit wet, particularly tomorrow. In the south

:27:19.:27:23.

we have had lots of sunshine, but the cloud is already bringing rain

:27:23.:27:26.

to parts of Northern Ireland and Scotland. It will become more

:27:26.:27:30.

extensive across northern Britain tonight, moving into north-west

:27:30.:27:34.

England and North Wales. For most of England and Wales it is a dry

:27:34.:27:39.

night. Turning increasingly cloudy and quite misty along the south

:27:39.:27:46.

coast. Into the weekend, across many eastern counties of England it

:27:46.:27:49.

will be a sparkling day. But further west it will be a different

:27:49.:27:53.

story. Rain spreading across northern England in too much of

:27:53.:27:56.

Wales. We will see the rain trickling into the south-west of

:27:56.:28:00.

England. Some dry and bright conditions for the morning but in

:28:00.:28:03.

Devon and Cornwall in particular we will see the rain arriving in the

:28:03.:28:08.

late afternoon. The rain heading towards Cardiff, but much of west

:28:08.:28:18.
:28:18.:28:18.

and north Wales will stay soggy throughout the day. Wet weather to

:28:18.:28:22.

start the day across much of Scotland. We will keep some showers

:28:22.:28:25.

drifting in across the Highlands, but parts of the north-east should

:28:25.:28:29.

turn drier and the central belt also turning brighter eventually.

:28:29.:28:33.

It will be a wet day across parts of northern England was a much of

:28:33.:28:38.

your trouble stay dry-eyed. The Midlands and the south-east have a

:28:38.:28:43.

cracking day. The sun comes out and temperatures in East Anglia, maybe

:28:43.:28:47.
