A massive manhunt is on for a suspected murderer in the north- | :00:11. | :00:15. | |
east of England. James Allen is accused of killing two people in | :00:15. | :00:19. | |
Middlesbrough and Whitby. Hundreds of officers are searching for him, | :00:19. | :00:25. | |
they want the public to stay away. If you see him, it dialled 999, do | :00:25. | :00:33. | |
not confront him. We will bring to the latest. | :00:33. | :00:38. | |
Also, the MI6 officer found dead inside a holdall. Witnesses tried | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
to lock themselves inside a similar bout. | :00:41. | :00:46. | |
Shareholders' revolt at Barclays over the size of executive pay. | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
Armed police sealed off roads, businesses and tube stations in | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
central London after his security alert. | :00:52. | :00:59. | |
Remember this? What is happening with our weather? | :00:59. | :01:05. | |
I am here with Sportsday at 6:30pm. We look ahead to the weekend and | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
there is precious points to be one at the top and bottom of the | :01:09. | :01:19. | |

Good evening. A big police manhunt is under way | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
in north-east England following the discovery of the bodies of two | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
people in built a brand Whitby. Officers say the man suspected of | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
murdering them, James Allen, new one of his victims, and they have | :01:42. | :01:49. | |
warned the public to be on the alert and not to approach him. This | :01:49. | :01:56. | |
is a significant police operation. Yes, every police force in the UK | :01:56. | :02:05. | |
now has James Alan's details. This is the place he called home. He was | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
already on bail, neighbours have not seen him, and two people have | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
been murdered. Police patrol streets on horses, | :02:14. | :02:20. | |
gardens surged inch by inch, and roads checked again and again. 100 | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
officers looking for James Allen, the man the police say this | :02:24. | :02:32. | |
dangerous and violent. Clearly, he is a dangerous man. But we are | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
putting everything into finding him, tracking him down and bringing him | :02:36. | :02:45. | |
to justice. If you see him, dial 999, do not confront him. This is | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
why police want to find him. On Monday, Colin Dunford was found | :02:49. | :02:56. | |
dead in his house. On Wednesday, 30 miles away, Julie Davison's body | :02:56. | :03:06. | |
:03:06. | :03:10. | ||
was discovered. Detective still do not know why he was killed. They | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
too not know if he had a problem with James Allen or if anything has | :03:13. | :03:19. | |
been taken from his house. It was here where Colin Dunford would meet | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
his friends. It was also his friends who called police when he | :03:24. | :03:32. | |
stopped coming here. He did not harm anybody, he did not have a bad | :03:32. | :03:41. | |
word against anybody. He could not say anything bad. All day, forensic | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
officers searched the home of James Allen. His neighbours cannot | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
understand what has happened here. When did you last see him? For days | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
ago, I was walking through there, and I said to him, where are you | :03:55. | :04:01. | |
going? He said Scarborough, me and my friend. He was walking very fast. | :04:01. | :04:06. | |
I saw him on Sunday, he knocked on the door, acting -- like asking for | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
pots and pans. Detectives believe James Allen is still in the north- | :04:12. | :04:21. | |
:04:22. | :04:27. | ||
east. They hope to find him soon. We were talking to Colin Dunford's | :04:27. | :04:34. | |
friends. Many of them were in their 70s and 80s. They did not want to | :04:34. | :04:44. | |
:04:44. | :04:45. | ||
An inquest into the death of the MI6 officer Gareth Williams, whose | :04:45. | :04:52. | |
body was found padlocked inside a bag, has spoken to two expert | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
witnesses who tried to lock themselves in a similar bag and | :04:55. | :05:01. | |
failed. They concluded he must have been dead or unconscious when he | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
was in the back. Gareth Williams, the intelligence | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
officer whose body was found in a bag. Four days, the inquest has | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
been tracing his final movements. The central question, did he get | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
inside the bag himself or was he but there? Today there was evidence, | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
including this video, from experts. Here, one of them shows how | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
difficult it is to climb into a bag in a bathtub and close it, | :05:26. | :05:36. | |
:05:36. | :06:03. | ||
especially without leaving any I wanted to report one of our | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
members of staff who lives and works in London is missing. When | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
police entered his flat in Pimlico, they found a red sports bag. Gareth | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
Williams's body was found curled up inside the bag in the foetal | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
position with no sign of him having struggled to get out. Inside and | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
underneath him was a set of keys for the padlock. But the bag was | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
padlocked on the outside in a way experts found impossible to | :06:28. | :06:38. | |
:06:38. | :06:38. | ||
The police have said that from early on, they thought someone else | :06:38. | :06:44. | |
was involved in his death here at his flat. Today's evidence seems to | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
point to that, but it is still not clear who it might have been. These | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
photographs show tests on how long somebody could survive with limited | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
air in a holdall. An expert thought not more than half an hour. When | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
police examined phoned at -- phones and computers, they found material | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
on women's high fashion, as well as traces of a small number of visits | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
to websites looking at bondage and people tied up. The inquest is | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
expected to finish hearing evidence next week. | :07:16. | :07:21. | |
Shareholders have revolted against the pay awarded to the Barclays | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
boss at the annual general meeting. Nearly 27% voted against the band's | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
pay deals. The chairman apologised to shareholders for not | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
sufficiently taking on board their views about large executive pay | :07:32. | :07:40. | |
awards. Barclays Bank, a global player. Its | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
boss, Bob Diamond, has sparked much of the controversy over executive | :07:44. | :07:51. | |
pay. He was awarded a 6.3 million pound deal from last year, even | :07:51. | :07:56. | |
though he admitted returns to shareholders were unacceptable. | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
There were some small protests at the AGM today, but it was these | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
folk, the shareholders, owners of the business, who were staging a | :08:05. | :08:11. | |
quiet rebellion. Nearly 27% voted against the company's pay scheme. | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
It is exorbitant, what Bob Diamond is getting for the amount of | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
dividend that we get, it is paltry. Too much bonuses, not enough going | :08:21. | :08:26. | |
to the shareholders, so we have come to put a protest vote in. | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
Inside, they heard an apology from the chairman for not communicating | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
enough with shareholders when setting pay. That will change. It | :08:33. | :08:40. | |
has to, given the scale of this protest. It is quite unprecedented. | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
90% of companies expect to get 90% support or more. Companies in this | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
level of protest should be asking deep and penetrating questions. | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
Shareholders have certainly make their voices heard today, including | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
big institutional investors that from the likes of our pension funds. | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
Could this be a turning point, with investors starting to flex their | :09:02. | :09:08. | |
muscles? In the USA, shareholders recently rejected the pay deal for | :09:08. | :09:13. | |
the boss of Citigroup, scrutiny appears to be growing, but some say | :09:13. | :09:18. | |
it can only go so far. While they have to be active, Barclays is a | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
global bank, with Global investors, not just British investors, global | :09:23. | :09:28. | |
customers, and we have to recognise, they cannot change the banking | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
market, only the government can do that. The government is promising | :09:31. | :09:36. | |
reform. For now, the shareholder votes still only have the power to | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
embarrass. They have achieved that today, though. | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
A senior officer has resigned in protest against the election of | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
police commissioners. Tony Melville said he had grave concerns about | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
the election of commissioners and would not serve under one. The vote | :09:54. | :09:59. | |
will take place in November. Two Rangers fans, Neil McKenzie and | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
Trevor Muirhead, were jailed for five years for sending a parcel | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
bombs to the Celtic manager and other prominent figures. They were | :10:07. | :10:14. | |
earlier convicted of conspiring to assault him, Paul McBride and Trish | :10:14. | :10:19. | |
Godman. A soldier from first Battalion | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
Grenadier Guards has been killed in Afghanistan. He was serving as part | :10:23. | :10:30. | |
of combined force, and was on patrol as a result of small arms | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
fire. His family has been informed. A major security alert closed down | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
part of central London today after a man walks into an office, | :10:38. | :10:43. | |
allegedly threatening to blow himself up. He detached gas -- he | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
had attached gas canisters to his body. The police closed tube | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
stations for several hours until he was arrested. It comes three months | :10:51. | :10:57. | |
before London plays host to the Olympics. | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
Central London in broad daylight, up armed police rush towards a | :11:01. | :11:07. | |
reported hostage situation. From the fifth floor of this building, | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
computers and office equipment thrown onto the street below. It | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
started at lunchtime, when a man entered the offices of a company | :11:14. | :11:19. | |
that offers courses for would-be HGV lorry drivers. An employee said | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
he was a previous client with a grievance. He appeared to have | :11:23. | :11:29. | |
explosives strapped to him. turned up, he was strapped up with | :11:29. | :11:35. | |
gas cylinders, he threatened to blow up the offices, he said he did | :11:35. | :11:41. | |
not care about his life or anything. As a large part of London's | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
Tottenham Court Road was cordoned off, workers in neighbouring | :11:44. | :11:50. | |
offices fled to safety. When he had committed the offices, adjacent to | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
ours, two men is it quickly, we have got a shed fire escape, so | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
they came into our office and said, everybody needs to get out. | :11:59. | :12:04. | |
suddenly as it had begun, it was over. The police led a man out of | :12:04. | :12:09. | |
the building in handcuffs. They say he is a man who is from the area. | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
Some workers who had been trapped in their building emerged shortly | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
afterwards to describe their experiences. We bolted the doors | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
and windows, we are all fine, we were together, keeping each of the | :12:22. | :12:27. | |
calm. A few hours after it began, the incident has been brought to | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
his successful conclusion, but with the Olympics three months away, the | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
last thing the organisers would have wanted his age huge security | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
alert in the centre of London. Tonight, the police are still | :12:39. | :12:45. | |
questioning the man arrested at the scene. | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
The top story. A major police manhunt is underweight in the | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
north-east of England following the discovery of the bodies of two | :12:52. | :12:59. | |
people in Middlesbrough and Whitby. Coming up, the Queen visits abroad | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
than in her Diamond Jubilee tour, once they see a tragedy, today, | :13:03. | :13:09. | |
celebration. And, I will have Sportsday. Pep | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
Guardiola becomes football's most- wanted manager. He is quitting | :13:13. | :13:21. | |
It doesn't have a pilot, it's completely reusable and, according | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
to the people making it, it will be a cheap way of travelling into the | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
cosmos. The Skylon spacecraft has been a long time in the planning | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
and countdown wouldn't be for another ten years. But the British | :13:32. | :13:34. | |
scientists behind this unique project believe it could be the | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
future of space travel, as our science editor, David Shukman, | :13:37. | :13:47. | |
:13:47. | :13:50. | ||
We have main engine start. For 60 years there is only been one way to | :13:50. | :13:55. | |
reach space. A rocket blasting spate -- straight up and it is | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
always expensive. Imagine instead just taking off from a runway and | :13:58. | :14:04. | |
flying into Orbit. Meet Skylon, a British design for a space plane. | :14:04. | :14:10. | |
It hasn't yet been built, but the project has reached a crucial stage. | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
The key is a completely new kind of motor, and ingenious concept for a | :14:14. | :14:19. | |
jet engine and a rocket rolled into one. The engineers go through their | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
cheques. This has to work if the space plane is to have the chance | :14:23. | :14:28. | |
of flying. Because of the high pressures involved in this | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
revolutionary jet engine, everyone has to wear protection. It's | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
designed to go five times the speed of sound. When it is going back | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
quickly, the flow of air become so intense it reaches 1,000 degrees | :14:40. | :14:45. | |
Celsius, which would normally not everything inside, but this unique | :14:45. | :14:51. | |
device called the heir to well below zero. It should make space | :14:51. | :15:00. | |
travel easier. And the tests are now under way. Three, two, one, go. | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
This is one of a series of experiments to check if the idea is | :15:04. | :15:10. | |
viable. This small band of engineers has worked with very | :15:10. | :15:19. | |
little funding. So far, so good, and the designers are thinking big. | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
It's like going to New York, you go down to an airport, you get on a | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
plane. Getting into space will be like that with this kind of | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
technology. The Skylon is a long way from launching, but the | :15:31. | :15:35. | |
European Space Agency checked it over and found nothing wrong. | :15:35. | :15:40. | |
might be something in the future, but where we stand today, looking | :15:40. | :15:45. | |
at the technology, this should work. It could fly. But billions of | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
pounds are needed. Clever engineering isn't enough to make | :15:49. | :15:59. | |
:15:59. | :16:06. | ||
this British space dream a reality. There's more economic gloom from | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
Spain - the unemployment rate there has jumped to almost a quarter of | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
the workforce, its highest in 18 years. About 365,000 people have | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
lost their jobs so far this year. Over half of those aged under 25 | :16:16. | :16:18. | |
are out of work. The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
have been visiting the Welsh town of Aberfan where 144 people, mostly | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
children, were killed in a catastrophic landslide in 1966. Her | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
Majesty opened a new primary school during the second and final day of | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
her Diamond Jubilee visit to Wales. Our Royal correspondent, Nicholas | :16:30. | :16:40. | |
:16:40. | :16:41. | ||
Many memories will be rekindled for her in this jubilee year. Few, | :16:41. | :16:45. | |
though, will have the tragic resonance of this village in the | :16:45. | :16:52. | |
valleys of South Wales. This was Aberfan on the morning of 21st | :16:52. | :16:56. | |
October, 1966. A colliery waste tip had collapsed on to the village. | :16:56. | :17:01. | |
The junior school was engulfed. Local people, many of them miners, | :17:01. | :17:06. | |
dug frantically to try to rescue their children. But it was too late. | :17:06. | :17:13. | |
116 children and 28 adults had died. Britain was stunned. This was the | :17:13. | :17:18. | |
BBC broadcasting on the night of the disaster. Never in my life have | :17:18. | :17:23. | |
I ever seen anything like this. I hope that I shall never ever see | :17:23. | :17:29. | |
anything like it again. Initially, the Queen's response was hesitant. | :17:29. | :17:33. | |
Her aides urged her to visit at a fan, but it was nine days before | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
she did so. She has been back several times since and today she | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
spoke to some of those who nearly 50 years ago lost their sons and | :17:41. | :17:50. | |
daughters. I spoke to her 44 years ago. She shook my hand. She | :17:50. | :17:55. | |
promised she would come back and open a school when we built it. She | :17:55. | :18:00. | |
has fulfilled her promise. That new primary school is a place for | :18:00. | :18:05. | |
today's children and a reminder of the generation which was lost. The | :18:05. | :18:10. | |
Queen has never forgotten Aberfan. Mindful, perhaps, of that initial | :18:10. | :18:15. | |
slight hesitation, she particularly wanted her Diamond Jubilee tour to | :18:15. | :18:18. | |
include the village. Geoff Edwards gave the Queen a book about the | :18:18. | :18:24. | |
disaster. In 1966, he was the last child to be rescued from the debris. | :18:24. | :18:31. | |
It brings back poignant memories of what happened to me on that day. | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
But with the support of the green, it has helped us get over very | :18:35. | :18:40. | |
difficult times. Above van, a tragedy remembered in this jubilee | :18:40. | :18:49. | |
year. -- Aberfan. The Culture Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
says he's happy to reveal all the communications between himself and | :18:52. | :18:54. | |
his former special advisor Adam Smith during News Corporation's bid | :18:54. | :18:57. | |
for British Sky Broadcasting. The Labour leader Ed Miliband has | :18:57. | :19:00. | |
called for an inquiry into whether Mr Hunt broke the ministerial code | :19:00. | :19:03. | |
in his handling of the issue. Mr Smith had to resign earlier this | :19:03. | :19:10. | |
week over the contact he'd had with News Corporation representatives. | :19:11. | :19:15. | |
will be handing over all of my private text messages and e-mails | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
to Mize special adviser to the Leveson Inquiry and I'm confident | :19:19. | :19:24. | |
they will vindicate the position that I handled the BSkyB bid merger | :19:24. | :19:28. | |
process with total integrity. Meanwhile, Nick Clegg says "we need | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
to get to the truth" of the Culture Secretary's handling of the BSkyB | :19:31. | :19:34. | |
bid. But he's backing David Cameron's insistence that the best | :19:34. | :19:37. | |
way to do that is for Jeremy Hunt to be cross examined at the Leveson | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
Inquiry. The Deputy Prime Minister was speaking to our political | :19:40. | :19:43. | |
editor, Nick Robinson, in his final interview with leaders of the three | :19:43. | :19:49. | |
main Westminster parties. Getting in touch, it is what any | :19:49. | :19:54. | |
political leader has to do. Will you help me? Not least when people | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
feel Westminster is a million miles away from the world they live in. | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
Nick Clegg learnt a lot more than how to make bread on a visit to the | :20:02. | :20:09. | |
Bradford HQ for of the supermarket Morrisons. It is really quite grim. | :20:09. | :20:14. | |
It is not unusual for me to cry at the end of the focus group. | :20:14. | :20:17. | |
Deputy Prime Minister heard about the cost sacrifices some customers | :20:17. | :20:22. | |
are making just to be able to afford their weekly shop. We have | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
had one in five months telling us they are missing a meal a day in | :20:26. | :20:31. | |
order to provide for the children. That stark fact was still preying | :20:31. | :20:36. | |
on the Lib Dem leader's mind when he travelled to his next election | :20:36. | :20:41. | |
stop. I spoke to him at Cardiff City's football ground. Were you | :20:41. | :20:46. | |
shocked by what you had? Of course. You would have to be made of stone | :20:46. | :20:50. | |
not to be shocked when you hear the terrible pressures some families | :20:50. | :20:55. | |
are under. It is one of the many reasons why I have been so vocal | :20:55. | :20:58. | |
for a long time about making the tax system fairer, taking a lot of | :20:58. | :21:05. | |
people out of paying income tax, giving over 20 million basic rate | :21:05. | :21:08. | |
taxpayers several hundred pounds of tax relief. Her but the government | :21:08. | :21:13. | |
is cutting people's tax credits and at the same time, giving the rich | :21:13. | :21:20. | |
are very big tax cut. Let be clear, let's not repeat some fiction. We | :21:20. | :21:25. | |
are raising five times more money from the very rich than they are | :21:25. | :21:29. | |
getting back in any change in the upper rate of income tax. But you | :21:29. | :21:32. | |
will know people, I certainly do, who will be thousands of pounds | :21:32. | :21:37. | |
better off. I wonder why in moral terms you did not say I can't do | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
this. It is very obvious to everybody that my priority has been | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
the many and not the few. Tax cuts for the many, not the few. That is | :21:45. | :21:49. | |
what we have delivered. I don't believe that would have happened | :21:49. | :21:53. | |
without the Lib Dems in government. Being in coalition means the Lib | :21:53. | :21:58. | |
Dems have to back for blues. An uncomfortable position for Nick | :21:58. | :22:01. | |
Clegg when the Tory Culture Secretary is facing allegations | :22:01. | :22:05. | |
that he got much to close to the Murdochs. Unless anyone has a | :22:05. | :22:10. | |
better idea, having a judge when a Cabinet minister needs to give | :22:10. | :22:14. | |
evidence under oath is about the best context did find out what has | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
happened or did not happen. There's a code of practice for ministers, | :22:18. | :22:23. | |
why not see if it has been broken? We have already got the agreement | :22:23. | :22:27. | |
that Jeremy Hunt will go to the Leveson Inquiry pretty quickly, I'd | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
like it to happen as quickly as possible. Is this a sleazy | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
government? I don't believe it is a sleazy government. You know why | :22:34. | :22:41. | |
people basket? Of course I accept that when you get a controversy in | :22:41. | :22:44. | |
politics, you get a lot of people attaching labels to government. I'm | :22:44. | :22:49. | |
very proud of the fact that unlike other big parties in British | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
politics, the Lib Dems have never and will never be in anyone's | :22:52. | :22:56. | |
pocket. Aren't you in the Tories' pocket and that is why you were | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
doing so badly in the polls was back if either people say we are | :22:59. | :23:04. | |
too much a Conservative government, or people yell and scream and say | :23:04. | :23:09. | |
it is not conservative enough. a star-studded Lib Dems are holding | :23:09. | :23:14. | |
the Conservatives back. It is a coalition government. We are | :23:14. | :23:18. | |
exactly what it says on the tin. That is the Lib Dems dilemma. How | :23:18. | :23:23. | |
to demonstrate that all in the coalition are aiming for the same | :23:23. | :23:27. | |
goal 1 at the same time convincing the electorate that the Blues and | :23:27. | :23:37. | |

Drought-afflicted parts of England are braced for the possibility of | :23:44. | :23:47. | |
flash floods as more heavy rain is expected to sweep across the | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
country this weekend. England and Wales have experienced the wettest | :23:50. | :23:52. | |
week since December, and forecasters say there is no sign of | :23:52. | :23:56. | |
the rain letting up for at least a week. Robert Hall is in Dorset for | :23:56. | :24:06. | |
:24:06. | :24:11. | ||
We seem to have lost Robert. Must be the weather! Literally a week | :24:11. | :24:20. | |
ago of the river running deep below its banks, the river bed exposed... | :24:20. | :24:23. | |
It may not have been raining where Robert was, but clearly there's | :24:23. | :24:26. | |
Robert was, but clearly there's some sort of problem! Darren, I | :24:26. | :24:32. | |
will blame you! What is happening with the weather? There's more rain | :24:32. | :24:36. | |
to come over the weekend, but although we have had a lot over the | :24:36. | :24:39. | |
last few weeks, over the month it is not yet enough to ease the | :24:39. | :24:43. | |
drought. There's more to come, but it will not be raining everywhere | :24:43. | :24:48. | |
over the weekend. What we have is a North-South split. The northern | :24:49. | :24:52. | |
half of the UK will be drier and sunnier. The bitter frost around as | :24:52. | :24:57. | |
well. In the south, it will be cloudy. It will turn wetter and | :24:57. | :25:01. | |
windier as the weekend goes on. For showers have been wintry across | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
Scotland. Some heavy thundery showers from East Anglia to the | :25:06. | :25:11. | |
south-west. Gradually, over the next few hours, the showers will | :25:11. | :25:16. | |
decay so it will start to dry up. The rain will peter out. We keep a | :25:16. | :25:21. | |
lot of cloud across England and Wales so temperatures will hold. | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
Clare was guys in the north, especially in Scotland, so we could | :25:24. | :25:34. | |
:25:34. | :25:36. | ||
have a touch as -- touch of frost. And there will be a few showers. | :25:36. | :25:39. | |
Showers in the south-west of England will be quite sharp. There | :25:39. | :25:43. | |
might be a little bit of sunshine in between them. The best of any | :25:43. | :25:47. | |
sunshine in Wales, along the west coast. For Northern Ireland, we | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
should see some good sunny spells. Very few showers, but 10 or 11 | :25:52. | :25:57. | |
Celsius is below par at this time of year. A chilly day in Scotland, | :25:57. | :26:02. | |
but few showers than we had today. Sunshine in the far north of | :26:02. | :26:06. | |
England, but in the Midlands it is cloudy and the weather is going | :26:06. | :26:09. | |
downhill in the south-east of England as the rain comes in in the | :26:09. | :26:15. | |
afternoon. As we head into Sunday, it is a poor day for England and | :26:15. | :26:22. | |
Wales. Driving rain, strong to gale force winds, it may dry up in the | :26:22. | :26:25. | |
South East later, but for most of Scotland and Northern Ireland, that | :26:25. | :26:30. | |
is where we have dry weather. Cold is where we have dry weather. Cold | :26:30. | :26:33. | |
underneath the rain, possibly 17 or 18 in the south early next week. | :26:33. | :26:38. | |
Looking forward to it! A reminder of the top story. | :26:38. | :26:42. | |
Police in the north-east of England are searching for a man accused of | :26:42. | :26:45. |
