Stephen Lawrence was stabbed to death by a racist gang - it's taken | :00:24. | :00:33. | |
nearly 19 years for his family to get justice. Today is when we can | :00:33. | :00:37. | |
look to start moving on and just - I don't know - try to take control | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
of my life once more. Who else was involved in the | :00:41. | :00:49. | |
murder? The police issue a warning to other suspects. The other people | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
involved in the mushed of Stephen Lawrence shouldn't rest easily in | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
their beds. We're still investigating this case. | :00:55. | :00:58. | |

Welcome to the BBC News at 6.00pm. Gary Dobson and David Norris, the | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
two men convicted of murdering Stephen Lawrence, have been told | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
their crime scarred the conscience of the nation. Sentencing the men, | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
the judge said their white gang had acted purely out of racial hatred. | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
Dobson will serve at least 15 years and two months while Norris will be | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
in jail for a minimum of 14 years and three months. Today the | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
Metropolitan Police Comissioner, Bernard Hogan-Howe, warned other | :02:17. | :02:24. | |
members of the gang that they could not rest easy in their beds. Our | :02:24. | :02:30. | |
Home Affairs correspondent Tom Symonds is at the Old Bailey. Tom. | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
Yes, George, plenty of people wanted to see the culmination of | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
this trial. The public gallery was packed. Barristers gave up their | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
seats for extended members of the Lawrence family. The jury came back | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
to watch the results of their verdicts. Now, the sentences are | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
lower than they could have been for legal reasons, but the Lawrences | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
welcomed them nonetheless. Stephen Lawrence's name has never | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
been forgotten. Today finally a penalty was handed down for taking | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
his life. David Norris and Gary Dobson are detained at Her | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
Majesty's pleasure. They won't be released until the late 2020s at | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
the earliest. Hip, hip, hooray! Stephen's mother | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
reached the end of this trial satisfied by what justice had | :03:17. | :03:24. | |
delivered - to a point. And these sentences that happened - it may be | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
quite low, but at the same time, the judge's hands were tied, and | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
for that, as much as he can do, I was very grateful. The court was | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
packed. The convicted men said nothing when the sentences were | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
handed down, though afterwards there was a shout from a supporter | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
in the public gallery, "Shame on all of you." The judge, Mr Justice | :03:45. | :03:55. | |
:03:55. | :04:14. | ||
The pair were juveniles when they murdered Stephen and when police | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
put them under surveillance. Under law they received lower sentences | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
to reflect their ages at the time but several years were added to the | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
totals because of the racist nature of the crime and the public | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
reaction to it. The judge also said he hoped the conviction of Norris, | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
here being interviewed by police, and Dobson would not result in the | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
case file being closed. Outside, Stephen's father said he hoped the | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
pair would now cooperate with police. These people have now | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
realised that they have been found out and is now going to go and lay | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
down in their bed and think that they weren't the only ones who were | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
responsible for the death of my son, and they're going to give up the | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
other rest of the people. The other people involved in the murder of | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
Stephen Lawrence should not rest easily in their beds. We're still | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
investigating this case, and I would just like to take this | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
opportunity - if anybody out there has anymore information or anymore | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
evidence even after all this time, please tell us, and we'll do the | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
rest. Nine people remain of interest to police. They include | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
Luke Knight, Neil Acourt and his brother Jamie. They've never been | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
convicted of violence despite a series of allegations. In 1993 Neil | :05:28. | :05:34. | |
Acourt and David Norris were said to have attacked a youth, he was | :05:34. | :05:43. | |
acquitted, Neil Acourt never charged. This is Darren Giles. In | :05:43. | :05:49. | |
1994 he intervened in a nightclub row Jamie Acourt was having with | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
his friend. Mr Acourt stabbed Darren Giles in the heart. My heart | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
stopped for about 12 minutes. There was no oxygen getting to my brain. | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
I don't remember a thing. I was dead for about 12 minutes, | :06:00. | :06:06. | |
basically. But Jamie Acourt, who has refused to speak to the BBC, | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
was acquitted. A jury decided he'd acted in self-defence. These | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
incidents don't provide any evidence any of the three men | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
killed Stephen Lawrence. They all deny that, and police currently | :06:16. | :06:25. | |
have no information to act on. The Lawrences left court this afternoon | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
to begin their return to normal life, but they do expect to meet | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
detectives again next week. Just to come back to those sentences, 15 | :06:34. | :06:40. | |
years and 14 years - if the offence will be committed last year, for | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
example, the sentences could have been as high as 30 years in prison, | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
but there is a basic rule in law that you're sentenced according to | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
the law in place at the time. 1993 there were lesser sentences for | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
this sort of crime, and in particular, these two men had to be | :06:56. | :07:02. | |
treated as juveniles. George? Thank you. | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
Stephen Lawrence's murder, and the failure of the subsequent | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
investigation raised stark questions about race relations in | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
Britain and the treatment of ethnic minorities by the police. Our home | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
editor Mark Easton has been talking to people in South London to find | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
out if attitudes have changed after 18 years. | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
Almost two decades after Stephen Lawrence's racist murder on the | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
London street, how much scope for celebration is there in terms of | :07:26. | :07:32. | |
improved race relations? No-one actually is born racist... | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
The DJs at Respect Radio reflect the self-confidence of their young, | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
largely black audience in South London. Do you think the colour of | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
your skin makes much difference to the way your life goes? I try not | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
to see it like that. I know it probably does, and I have been in | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
situations where I can see in a person's eyes there is a sort of | :07:53. | :08:02. | |
judgment, but I try to see that as more of self-paranoia than anything. | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
Waves of immigration have shaped diverse neighbourhoods in | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
communities which have become used to difference, but where today I | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
found tension, even prejudice just below the surface. I don't think | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
they was guilty. Really? Do you think it was a stitch-up or what? | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
think it was a stitch-up. Why was that? Why do you think that was | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
done, then? I don't know because it's - BLEEP - been done... Using | :08:28. | :08:33. | |
the "N" word in public is rare, open prejudice rarer still. Racism | :08:33. | :08:39. | |
still exists in Britain, but in multicultural communities here in | :08:39. | :08:46. | |
South London, it is subtle, hidden and unacceptable. What does exist | :08:46. | :08:52. | |
is hostility towards new migrants, who are seen as competitors in the | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
battle for increasingly scarce resources. What are our children | :08:56. | :09:02. | |
going to do when they grow up? They can't get a job if we can't. Do you | :09:02. | :09:07. | |
blame black people, brown people? No, I blame the Government. Other | :09:07. | :09:15. | |
countries don't take them, like Australia. Why do we? | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
relationship between police and the black youth have improved. I have | :09:20. | :09:26. | |
been stopped three to four times in one day. For me, it just feels like | :09:26. | :09:33. | |
why is it always me? It feels like I am being targeted. In 1993 the | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
proportion of Met officers to ethnic minorities was 2%. Today | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
it's just under 10%. The local Police Chief told me the force has | :09:40. | :09:46. | |
come a long way. The images of life on Mars and that sort of culture | :09:46. | :09:51. | |
did exist, but not in the way it's portrayed sometimes around racism. | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
It's more about our relationship with how we police the diverse | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
communities in London and how we understand those communities. | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
majority of people I met on souths London's streets thought race | :10:02. | :10:07. | |
relations were pretty good, certainly better than 20 years ago, | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
but no-one argued Stephen Lawrence's death had seen bigotry | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
stopped. More details have emerged about the | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
body of a woman found on the Queen's Sandringham Estate on New | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
Year's day. Police say she is young and white - probably aged between | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
15 and 23 years old. Our correspondent Claire Marshall is | :10:23. | :10:33. | |
:10:33. | :10:35. | ||
outside Sandringham. Claire. George, within the last half hour, police | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
have said they have analysed DNA samples taken from the woman's body | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
on the Royal estate a few hundred metres behind me, and they have not | :10:43. | :10:48. | |
found a match. That body still hasn't been identified, but they do | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
know that she was between 15 and 23 years old, so they do have that | :10:53. | :11:01. | |
information to go on, and they are following some very strong leads. | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
ALisa Dimitrieva has been missing four months. She's 17 from Latvia. | :11:06. | :11:11. | |
Officers are still trying to find out whether it was her body found | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
on New Year's Day here at the Royal estate at Sandringham. They have | :11:14. | :11:19. | |
been carefully searching the area all day. This missing woman is one | :11:19. | :11:24. | |
important line of inquiry. Today the posters are still up where she | :11:24. | :11:29. | |
lived. It's around 30 miles from where the woman's body was found. | :11:29. | :11:35. | |
The town has a large Eastern European immigrant population. | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
Martin is Latvian. What do you know about her as a | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
person? I don't know, just - she was a nice girl, something like | :11:42. | :11:48. | |
that. I don't know. One time, miss - some guy missed her - her father, | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
her mum, theands it. The body was taken away from the Royal estate | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
yesterday for a post-mortem. Police say they will need more time to | :11:56. | :12:05. | |
identify who she is. So they have been very carefully | :12:05. | :12:10. | |
searching this site all day. There have been police helicopters above | :12:10. | :12:16. | |
us earlier. The Queen and Prince Philip are in residence at | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
Sandringham and are being kept up to date with the proceedings of | :12:19. | :12:29. | |

this case. The name of a soldier who died in | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
hospital earlier this week after being injured in Afghanistan 18 | :12:44. | :12:46. | |

Battalion, The Royal Gurkha Rifles, was caught in a blast from an | :12:49. | :12:51. | |

The Independent Police Complaints Commission has launched an | :12:53. | :12:55. | |

Police officers are being warned to avoid having a drink with | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
journalists and are being told to watch out for reporters flirting | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
with them in order to obtain information. A report into | :13:21. | :13:23. | |
relationships between Scotland yard and the media by Dame Elizabeth | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
Filkin says the close relationship between some members of the police | :13:26. | :13:34. | |
and the media had caused. - serious harm. | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
It's the first indication of how the big high street stores did over | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
the Christmas period. John Lewis said its sales were up nine per | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
cent on the same period in 2010. But Next saw its share price drop | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
after posting disappointing results at its stores. And both companies | :13:47. | :13:53. | |
have warned that the year ahead could be difficult. Our chief | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
economics correspondent Hugh Pym has the details. | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
Seems like awhile ago now - the Christmas season on the High Street | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
followed by the sales starting on Boxing Day. After all that noise | :14:04. | :14:09. | |
and hustle and bustle, we now have some hard figures showing how much | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
went through the tills. First up, John Lewis reporting higher | :14:13. | :14:18. | |
December sales than the same month in 2010. It said trade before | :14:18. | :14:23. | |
Christmas was outstanding, but warned this year would be tougher. | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
The big challenge for 2012 is just planning for the economy that we're | :14:26. | :14:31. | |
going to face. We're not expecting a serious reduction in sales. We | :14:31. | :14:36. | |
think the economy will still grow, but probably only a little above | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
flat sales and just preparing for that getting everything planned | :14:39. | :14:44. | |
around that - that's the challenge. The biggest winner was online trade, | :14:44. | :14:50. | |
up 28% at John Lewis. Internet and online seath sales at Next were up | :14:50. | :14:53. | |
17% in the August to December period compared to the previous | :14:53. | :15:00. | |
year. At the same time Next saw High Street stores saw lower sales, | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
and the performance was disappointing. Shoppers are | :15:04. | :15:09. | |
migrating away from the High Street and buying online. There is the | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
perception of a better value and being able to shop when you want. | :15:14. | :15:19. | |
So here are two of Britain's best- known retailers acknowledging | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
trading conditions right now are not exactly straight forward, so | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
it's hardly surprising elsewhere on the High Street, some smaller | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
competitors are finding life more difficult. There has been a squeeze | :15:29. | :15:35. | |
on consumer budgets because of high inflation, and some retailers have | :15:35. | :15:40. | |
felt the pressure. Take Blacks Leisure. It admits it's had a | :15:40. | :15:50. | |
challenging year and is trying to The underwear retailer said it was | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
ready to call in administrators because of tough trading conditions. | :15:54. | :15:58. | |
Other retailers will come up with their own Christmas stories next | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
week there. Could be cheerful news from some, but not all will have a | :16:01. | :16:06. | |
happy ending. Our top story tonight: The | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
murderers of Stephen Lawrence have been jailed for a minimum of 15 | :16:09. | :16:18. | |
years and 14 months. - 15 years and 14 years. | :16:18. | :16:21. | |

:17:08. | :17:09. | ||
only eight votes and the outcome is still far from certain. Get used to | :17:09. | :17:14. | |

Mitt Romney remains the best funded, the best-organised candidate in | :17:33. | :17:36. | |
this race, the favourite. But this result makes it clear that more | :17:36. | :17:40. | |
Conservative Republicans are looking for an alternative. Game on. | :17:40. | :17:45. | |
CHEERING And that alternative is called Rick | :17:45. | :17:51. | |

support of evangelical Christians. For give me his Grace every day, | :17:58. | :18:04. | |

Obama. I'm supporting Romney, because I think he's got the best | :18:40. | :18:45. | |
chance to win the general election. I'm supporting Rick Santorum | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
because of his Conservative stance on gay marriage. He doesn't support | :18:48. | :18:56. | |

The Family and Parenting Institute, a charity, says many families will | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
lose over �1,000 a year. But the Government insists it's taking | :19:29. | :19:32. | |
"practical steps" to help, such as cutting fuel duty. Chris Buckler | :19:32. | :19:42. | |

reports. The cost of running a household has been rising, from | :19:42. | :19:48. | |
heating to eating. But while prices have been going up, wages simply | :19:48. | :19:52. | |
haven't, and families are feeling the pressure. To eat, to live, to | :19:52. | :19:55. | |
wear clothes, everything nowadays is an expense within itself. They | :19:55. | :20:00. | |
should put the earnings up or the bills down, to make even. Families | :20:00. | :20:04. | |
bringing up children will continue to find it tough. According to | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
today's report, commissioned by the Family and Parenting Institute. In | :20:08. | :20:12. | |
the five years to 2016, they predict the average household | :20:12. | :20:19. | |
income will fall by 0.9, or �215 a year. But there's a difference for | :20:19. | :20:25. | |
the average household with children. Their income is expected to fall by | :20:25. | :20:32. | |
4.2%, or �1,250 a year. Ashley has three children. He's just started | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
up this cafe with a partner at a Community Centre? Huddersfield. | :20:35. | :20:39. | |
He's having to watch the pennies and pounds, not just at work but | :20:39. | :20:45. | |
also at home. When you sit down at home and look at all your bills and | :20:45. | :20:52. | |
you assess it, you ask yourself, "What am I doing? I'm paying | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
constantly bills." It is frustrating, because I can see how | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
it the missus. It is going forward that people are really concerned. | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
For many the outlook could be bleak for the coming years. The report | :21:03. | :21:09. | |
says it is the Government's changes to taxes and benefits which will | :21:09. | :21:12. | |
leave families with children worse off than families without. | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
thing that's surprising and very worrying is the number of children | :21:16. | :21:20. | |
that will be in child poverty going forward. It doesn't make sense | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
economically in the longer term. The Labour Party says the research | :21:24. | :21:27. | |
published today deliver as damning verdict on the coalition's policies | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
for family and children. But the Government insists it is taking | :21:31. | :21:35. | |
practical steps to try to help people in difficult times. Like | :21:35. | :21:41. | |
cutting fuel duty. Freezing council tax, and cutting income tax for | :21:41. | :21:44. | |
many. They also say many poorer families will be protected by | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
welfare changes, which will be phased in from next year. But there | :21:48. | :21:52. | |
is no doubt that some will be left feeling that they do need a little | :21:52. | :21:57. | |
help. Thousands of people in Scotland are | :21:57. | :21:59. | |
facing a second night without power, and there's continuing disruption | :21:59. | :22:01. | |
to rail services following yesterday's storms. Scotland was | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
the hardest hit by heavy rainfall and strong winds, which also | :22:04. | :22:07. | |
affected parts of England and Wales. Our correspondent, Lorna Gordon, is | :22:07. | :22:17. | |
:22:17. | :22:19. | ||
in Glasgow. It was a day when the winds topped 100 miles per hour. | :22:19. | :22:24. | |
Walking was difficult. The roads were dangerous. The bridges visibly | :22:24. | :22:29. | |
swayed. And through the course of the storm power was lost to more | :22:29. | :22:36. | |
than 140 ,000 homes. For this couple in Lanarkshire it meant no | :22:36. | :22:41. | |
heating no, hot water, camping lights and candles for 24 hours. | :22:41. | :22:45. | |
You are switching on the kettle and you get nothing. No electricity. It | :22:45. | :22:50. | |
is really awful. I've been here for 77 years now and this is the | :22:51. | :22:56. | |
longest we've ever been out. Since half past eight yesterday morning. | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
Engineers have been working to restore supplies but it's been | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
difficult Places the damage was much more severe than in previous | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
storms. It is very difficult for us. This has been the worst winds I've | :23:07. | :23:11. | |
ever seen. We have 600 engineers on the patch now working to try and | :23:11. | :23:15. | |
restore supplies to as many customers as possible today. We | :23:15. | :23:20. | |
hope to get the vast majority on but we'll have some on tonight. | :23:20. | :23:25. | |
This storm was deadly. Two people died. Among them a father of three | :23:25. | :23:29. | |
who was killed when his van was crushed bay falling tree in | :23:29. | :23:34. | |
Tunbridge wells in Kent. The damage and destruction spread across the | :23:34. | :23:39. | |
country. In west works heaters were handed out after the winds affected | :23:39. | :23:45. | |
gas supplies. There's a warning reconnecting homes here could take | :23:45. | :23:50. | |
days. There's a chimney pot which had come down by itself. Now the | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
winds have receded a little, it's a chance to count the cost. Like the | :23:54. | :23:59. | |
rest of Scotland a lot of people were on holiday, so people weren't | :23:59. | :24:03. | |
having to get to work. There is obviously a lot of phoning around | :24:03. | :24:06. | |
the organise the insurance. high winds wreak havoc. Blocked | :24:06. | :24:11. | |
roads will soon be cleared, but the damage to homes will take far | :24:11. | :24:21. | |
:24:21. | :24:25. | ||
longer to sort. If you're not trained in first aid, | :24:25. | :24:28. | |
what do you do when someone's had a heart attack? Forget mouth-to-mouth | :24:28. | :24:30. | |
resuscitation, just concentrate on giving chest compressions. That's | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
the new advice from the British Heart Foundation. The organisation | :24:33. | :24:36. | |
says many more people could survive an attack and, as Jane Hughes | :24:36. | :24:39. | |
reports, it's come up with an unusual way of getting its message | :24:39. | :24:45. | |
across. A lot of us don't know the answer. Former footballer Vinnie | :24:45. | :24:51. | |
Jones keeps his advice simple: first off you call 999. Then no | :24:51. | :24:58. | |
kigs. You only kiss your mis - then no kissing. You only kiss your | :24:58. | :25:04. | |
missus on the lips. If feeling is if you are not trained you may not | :25:04. | :25:10. | |
feel willing to do mouth to move. Chest compressions could save lives. | :25:10. | :25:18. | |
Phone 999 and prest hard on the chest. -- hard. | :25:18. | :25:24. | |
Two months ago his heart stopped while he was at work. He only | :25:24. | :25:28. | |
survived because one of his colleagues gave him chest | :25:28. | :25:33. | |
compressions. Thank goodness she was there. She perform sod quickly. | :25:33. | :25:39. | |
She showed extreme courage. It is amazing. Very, very much thank you. | :25:39. | :25:44. | |
He was lucky. An estimated 30,000 people a year have a card yack | :25:44. | :25:50. | |
arrest in public and fewer than one in ten survives. Only about a third | :25:50. | :25:53. | |
getly life-saving resuscitation from a by-stander. It is the | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
difference between life and death, the nature of cardiac arrest is | :25:57. | :26:01. | |
such that it needs very prompt treatment. The community, in terms | :26:01. | :26:04. | |
of lay people, the general public, pressing hard and fast in the | :26:04. | :26:10. | |
centre of the chest when they realise someone's not breathing, | :26:10. | :26:13. | |
with the Ambulance Service coming behind, will give that person the | :26:13. | :26:18. | |
best chance of survival. Traditional first aid training | :26:18. | :26:20. | |
advises alternating chest compressions with mouth to mouth | :26:20. | :26:24. | |
resuscitation and that remains the gold standard. But people who | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
haven't been trained often panic and don't know what to do when | :26:27. | :26:29. | |
someone collapses. The idea of this campaign is to give them the | :26:29. | :26:36. | |
confidence to help. Push hard and fast two time as | :26:36. | :26:42. | |
second, like to the beat of Staying Alive. It is a simple message that | :26:42. | :26:46. | |
really could make the difference between life and death. It ain't as | :26:46. | :26:51. | |
hard as it looks. Let's take a look at the weather | :26:51. | :26:54. | |
Let's take a look at the weather now with Alex Deakin. Not the | :26:54. | :26:58. | |
violent gusts that we had yesterday but the winds remain a key feature | :26:58. | :27:03. | |
of the weather tonight and for much of tomorrow. Tonight the windy | :27:03. | :27:07. | |
weather be accompanied by rain. Winds gusting 50-60 miles per hour, | :27:07. | :27:10. | |
particularly to the east of the Pennines. That could cause issues | :27:10. | :27:15. | |
up the A1M. Later in the night and into the morning across south-west | :27:15. | :27:20. | |
England, gusts of 50-60 miles per hour through the Bristol channel. | :27:20. | :27:24. | |
It's a windy night, a wet night for most of us. Temperatures will fall. | :27:24. | :27:29. | |
Most of let us stay above zero. The showers you turning wintry in | :27:29. | :27:32. | |
northern Scotland. Showers in the morning. Another windy day. Gusts | :27:33. | :27:36. | |
in Northern Ireland, south-west Scotland and the East Coast of 50 - | :27:36. | :27:43. | |
60 miles per hour. Through the day the showers start to fade. For most | :27:43. | :27:46. | |
places it does cheer up and there'll be winter sunshine. | :27:46. | :27:52. | |
Showers in northern Scotland. Some will drift down the West Coast of | :27:53. | :27:57. | |
Scotland into Northern Ireland. For much of northern England and Wales | :27:57. | :28:00. | |
it will become dry by the afternoon, with sunshine. A scattering of | :28:00. | :28:04. | |
showers to dodge across East Anglia and the South East. Not many in the | :28:04. | :28:07. | |
south-west corner. With sunshine here, temperatures reaching 10 | :28:07. | :28:10. | |
degrees, but it is going to feel chilly because of wind. The winds | :28:10. | :28:14. | |
die down and the temperatures drop on Thursday night. A cold start to | :28:14. | :28:19. | |
Friday. A dry and bright day in eastern areas. But in the west it | :28:19. | :28:22. | |
will cloud over, with rain in western Scotland and Northern | :28:22. | :28:25. | |
Ireland. The weather is calming down a touch. | :28:25. | :28:29. | |
Breezy on Saturday. Scattered showers in northern Scotland but a | :28:29. | :28:33. | |
better chance of sunshine. That's the theme into the weekend activity | :28:33. | :28:37. | |
winds are not as strong. Most of let us get a bit of sunshine. The | :28:37. | :28:42. |
