The Prime Minister finalises plans for his first major reshuffle since

:00:11.:00:17.

the coalition came to power. The changes to his team, expected

:00:17.:00:21.

tomorrow, could see dozens of ministers change or lose their jobs.

:00:21.:00:25.

His allies say it will revitalise the coalition. The Government is

:00:25.:00:30.

back in business, back in Parliament this week, Fizing with

:00:30.:00:34.

new ideas for reform and to drive economic growth in this country.

:00:34.:00:39.

There is still dissatisfaction from Tory backbenches, with calls for a

:00:39.:00:43.

major change in economic policy. Precisely because our economy is

:00:43.:00:49.

bumping on the bottom, we need to shock it into activity. We'll ask

:00:49.:00:54.

what tomorrow's reshuffle might reveal about the Government's mans.

:00:54.:01:01.

Also on tonight's programme: Another victory for Ellie Simmonds

:01:01.:01:07.

at the Paralympics. She wins the 200 metre individual medley in a

:01:08.:01:13.

world record time. Losing the battle of the blades - Oscar

:01:13.:01:15.

Pistorius apologises for poor timing of the remarks about the man

:01:15.:01:21.

who beat him to gold. Police describe overnight riots in Belfast

:01:21.:01:28.

as "savage." Nearly 50 officers are injured. And royal descent, the

:01:29.:01:36.

Duke of York abseils down Europe's tallest building for his outward

:01:36.:01:40.

bound charity. We'll have sports news with all the latest reports,

:01:50.:02:03.

news, interviews and features from Hello. A very good evening. Welcome

:02:03.:02:06.

to the BBC News at Six. The Prime Minister is finalising plans for

:02:06.:02:10.

his first major reshuffle since the coalition came to power. The

:02:10.:02:14.

changes to his team, expected tomorrow, could see dozens of

:02:14.:02:19.

ministers change or lose their jobs. As Mr Cameron tries to revitalise

:02:19.:02:23.

his Government, there's continuing dissatisfaction on the Conservative

:02:23.:02:27.

backbenches. Today the man he beat to become Tory leader, called on

:02:27.:02:32.

the Government to change its economic policy to avoid decades in

:02:32.:02:38.

the doll droms. Tonight ministers across Westminster are wondering

:02:38.:02:42.

whether tomorrow they will be clearing their desks. Civil

:02:43.:02:48.

servants are wondering who might be their new boss. Backbenchers are

:02:48.:02:52.

wondering whether tomorrow might be the day they get the call they

:02:52.:02:57.

always dreamed of. Not much work was done today - ministers and

:02:57.:02:59.

civil servants know that the ministerial pack is being shuffled.

:02:59.:03:04.

All are waiting to see how the Prime Minister plays hi cards. It

:03:04.:03:08.

was all -- his cards. It was all quiet on Downing Street. The cat,

:03:08.:03:12.

one of the few to make a public appearance. Tomorrow, the cameras

:03:12.:03:16.

will film the men and women, coming to hear from their boss what new

:03:16.:03:22.

jobs he wants them to perform. Those losing their jobs can expect

:03:22.:03:28.

a more discrete phone call. Inside Number Ten today, David Cameron's

:03:28.:03:38.
:03:38.:03:38.

closest aitds are armed with mark - - aids are armed with marker pens.

:03:38.:03:42.

Not the Prime Minister's first reshuffle, but also one that will

:03:42.:03:46.

be much more widespread than many expected. It would l be natural, I

:03:46.:03:49.

think, as we get to the halfway point of the Parliament, for the

:03:49.:03:55.

Prime Minister to want to refresh the team around him and to give the

:03:55.:03:59.

opportunity to serving Government, to those who want to join with him

:03:59.:04:02.

in pushing forward new ideas and deliver the change we need. Change

:04:02.:04:06.

meant to prove that in the Chancellor's phrase this Government

:04:06.:04:16.

means business. Today, the man David Cameron beat

:04:16.:04:21.

to become Tory leader called for a dramatic change for economic policy.

:04:21.:04:26.

The quicker we act, the less painful it will be. Precisely

:04:26.:04:30.

because our economy is bumping on the bottom, we need to shock it

:04:30.:04:38.

into abgtity. The Government needs -- activity. The Government needs

:04:38.:04:43.

to cut taxes, implement minijobs. David Davis claimed he did not want

:04:44.:04:48.

a new man at the Treasury. He must know George Osborne and the top

:04:48.:04:54.

faces are moving nowhere. But a string of middle ranking off Sirs

:04:54.:05:01.

are in play. Ken Clarke could lose control of prison policy. He may be

:05:01.:05:07.

replaced. Andrew Lansley, architect of the controversial health changes

:05:07.:05:12.

could be shifted and Jeremy Hunt, the row of the Murdoch's

:05:12.:05:20.

relationship with this Government, may be moved. Today Danny Alexander

:05:20.:05:23.

met in Downing Street to agree the new shape of the Government. This

:05:23.:05:30.

involves not one party, but two. One Lib Dem, David Laws, will

:05:30.:05:34.

return to Government. He resigned two years ago after questions about

:05:34.:05:40.

his expenses. One thing it will have to address is coalition

:05:40.:05:44.

tensions - on show again this afternoon. I would like to make a

:05:44.:05:48.

statement on House of Lords reform, or what is left of it. Every Prime

:05:48.:05:56.

Minister hopes that their reshuffle will inject new ideas, new energy

:05:56.:06:02.

into a Government that needs help. The changer is that what it can

:06:02.:06:06.

inswrect is a level of ig -- inject is a level of tension that the

:06:06.:06:10.

Government doesn't really need. Any Government reshuffle is a gamble.

:06:10.:06:14.

With the economy not moving and the Government losing support, the

:06:14.:06:18.

stakes in this one are particularly high.

:06:18.:06:22.

David Cameron has for many years in opposition and in Government

:06:22.:06:27.

resisted the regular reshuffle ritual. So loved by so many of his

:06:27.:06:31.

predecessors.. He knows they can go wrong as well as right. Today and

:06:31.:06:35.

tomorrow he'll have the time to ponder whether he should have

:06:35.:06:42.

delayed this one as well. Thank you. There have been plenty more medals

:06:42.:06:45.

for Britain's Paralympians today. In the last few minutes Ellie

:06:45.:06:50.

Simmonds has won her second gold of the Games. He won her 200 metre

:06:50.:06:54.

individual medley in style at the Aquatics Centre. She becomes the

:06:54.:07:01.

third woman to win double gold at the London Games. Her father said

:07:01.:07:04.

she thought she would sparkle tonight. He did that. It shows how

:07:04.:07:08.

much she has improved over the past four years. She only finished fifth

:07:08.:07:14.

in this event in Beijing. She has trained harder for this event than

:07:14.:07:19.

any other she is competing in. In the heats this morning she took

:07:19.:07:22.

another second off that and another one-and-a-half seconds off the

:07:22.:07:27.

world record this evening. She was dominant. The medley is an event

:07:27.:07:33.

with four strokes. One stroke for each length. Her strongest stroke,

:07:33.:07:38.

the freestyle is the last event. If anyone in the crowd was worried,

:07:38.:07:42.

she wasn't. She knew what to do. She became the youngest person to

:07:42.:07:49.

get an MBE, four years ago. She can bank on an upgrade in the New Year

:07:49.:07:57.

honours as well. A silver for Sascha Kindred.

:07:57.:08:03.

Thank you very much. Natasha Baker won her second gold of the Games in

:08:03.:08:08.

dressage. Lee Pearson got bronze, also in dressage, missing out on

:08:08.:08:13.

equalling the modern British record of 11 golds. Our correspondent is

:08:13.:08:19.

at Greenwich Park for us. Joe? two more British medals today,

:08:19.:08:22.

taking the equestrian total to eight. The thing about Lee Pearson

:08:22.:08:27.

is he came to these Games unbeat no-one the Paralympics since the

:08:27.:08:32.

year 2000. His London record is one gold, one silver and today a bronze.

:08:32.:08:36.

He finished 5% behind the Austrian winner. It is not what he is used

:08:36.:08:43.

to. Over the bridge to the arena. There's never been a Paralympic

:08:43.:08:48.

competition like this - record crowds, some record scores.

:08:48.:08:53.

Lee Pearson wanted to equal a special record himself, well not

:08:53.:09:01.

quite. In the freestyle dressage, riders set their routine to music.

:09:01.:09:08.

Today the combination performed to a James Bond sound track. 74.2% - a

:09:08.:09:13.

good score, not good enough to win. A gold would have taken Lee

:09:13.:09:18.

Pearson's lifetime total to 11, equal with Tanni Grey-Thompson.

:09:18.:09:23.

Pearson had to make do with less - only a disappointment because he

:09:23.:09:28.

set his own standards so high. Already there is a new generation

:09:28.:09:32.

of British east questtryian stars. Today Natasha Baker won her second

:09:32.:09:38.

gold medal with her second world record. A virus she contracted as a

:09:38.:09:43.

baby left her with spinal damage. She was brought up to believe

:09:43.:09:48.

anything is possible. In many Paralympic sports the standard is

:09:48.:09:55.

It is worth remembering that Britain is still the dominant

:09:55.:10:02.

nation here in the equestrian. As for Lee Pearson, he could still go

:10:02.:10:12.
:10:12.:10:12.

on and challenge the all-time Paralympic record of 16 golds.

:10:12.:10:22.
:10:22.:10:31.

Oscar Pistorius, the so-called Blade Runner and one of the faces

:10:31.:10:35.

of the Paralympics has apologised today for his timing of comments

:10:35.:10:40.

about a rival's running blades. The international Paralympic committee

:10:40.:10:46.

has insisted it was a fair race. Pistorius argues the rules need to

:10:46.:10:52.

change to prevent some runners from getting an unfair advantage.

:10:52.:10:57.

Oscar Pistorius - the biggest name in Paralympic sport. Back in the

:10:57.:11:01.

spotlight this morning to receive a silver medal - nearly everyone

:11:01.:11:06.

expected it to be gold. But it wasn't just this shock

:11:06.:11:12.

defeat by the Brazilian Alan Oliveira in the 200 metre wis had

:11:12.:11:15.

everything talking, it was the outburst that followed. A year ago

:11:15.:11:21.

these guys were here. They are taller. We're not racing a fair

:11:22.:11:26.

race here. I gave it my best. the South African said sorry for

:11:26.:11:31.

the timing of his comments, but maintained he still had concerns

:11:31.:11:37.

about the rules Governing the blades. The Paralympic committee

:11:37.:11:44.

say they are ready to listen. have such a controversy on our

:11:44.:11:54.

hands. We are ready to meet Oscar away from the stadium. What are the

:11:54.:11:58.

rules? Athletes are measured twice, once from the elbow to the middle

:11:58.:12:03.

finger and from the chest to the end of the hand. Using a formula,

:12:03.:12:07.

those measures are used to calculate a maximum height limit

:12:07.:12:11.

for each runner with their blades on. Officials then test competitors

:12:11.:12:16.

before each race to ensure they are not gaining a height advantage.

:12:16.:12:20.

Ironically, according to data released by the IPCC, Pistorius

:12:20.:12:26.

could run with longer blades. He is allowed to be eight centimetres

:12:26.:12:30.

taller than Oliveira. He has shorter blades because he wanted to

:12:30.:12:35.

compete here, in the Olympic Games. He must comply with a court ruling

:12:35.:12:38.

which restricts their height. Some feel he's been forced to make a

:12:38.:12:42.

choice. If he wants to change them he would have to go through that

:12:42.:12:46.

rigorous testing procedure again. As an athlete that takes away from

:12:46.:12:53.

training time and everything he's trying to achieve as an individual.

:12:53.:12:56.

He might have put himself at a disadvantage running at the

:12:56.:12:59.

Paralympics because he wanted to run at the Olympics. The conso 6

:12:59.:13:07.

tro versy started here last -- the controversy started here shows how

:13:07.:13:11.

fiercely competitive these Paralympics are. It leads to

:13:11.:13:14.

questions about whether it sometimes distorts the competition.

:13:14.:13:19.

Of course, as with all elite sport, equipment manufacturers have to

:13:19.:13:23.

work within tight rules. There's no doubt the Paralympic technology

:13:23.:13:30.

race is having an impact on the Games. These Games unEarthed a new

:13:30.:13:35.

star in Alan Oliveira last night. Even in defeat Oscar Pistorius may

:13:35.:13:41.

have provided another ground- breaking moment for the Paralympic

:13:41.:13:45.

movement. Much more on the Paralympics on our website. The

:13:45.:13:49.

events, Britain's prospects and the classification system. They are all

:13:49.:13:59.
:13:59.:14:00.

The former international chief executive, Rebekah Brooks, has

:14:00.:14:02.

appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court. She is charged

:14:02.:14:06.

with conspiring to unlawfully intercept communications which

:14:06.:14:10.

prosecutors claim could involve more than 600 people. There are two

:14:10.:14:13.

specific charges relating to the murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler

:14:13.:14:17.

and a former union leader. She denies the allegations. A husband

:14:17.:14:21.

and wife have been arrested after two suspected burglars were shot at

:14:21.:14:27.

their home in Leicestershire. Four men have also been detained on

:14:27.:14:33.

suspicion of aggravated burglary. Local MP Alan Duncan, a Government

:14:33.:14:37.

minister, said the householders should not face prosecution for

:14:37.:14:41.

defending their home. Police in Northern Ireland have described the

:14:41.:14:47.

tactics used by rioters in Belfast last night as "savage." Nearly 50

:14:47.:14:53.

officers were injured after they came under attack from loyalists

:14:53.:15:03.
:15:03.:15:05.

Sunday afternoon in Belfast. The police tried to keep rival loyalist

:15:05.:15:09.

and republican Neil Danns apart after clashes broke out during a

:15:09.:15:14.

republican parade along one of the main roads in the north of the city.

:15:14.:15:19.

47 police officers were injured. One of them, seen here on the left,

:15:19.:15:25.

was hit by a brick on their head. The violence continued through the

:15:25.:15:29.

evening and into the early hours of the morning. Events in Northern

:15:29.:15:33.

Ireland it is rare for so many police officers to be injured in

:15:33.:15:39.

one night. The violence was savage, violence in which we saw an excess

:15:39.:15:45.

of 34 petrol bombs, hundreds of fireworks, huge pieces of masonry

:15:45.:15:50.

and even lasers used against this community's police officers, used

:15:50.:15:55.

against public servants who, on a Sunday afternoon, went out to

:15:55.:16:00.

deliver policing on behalf of this community. Why did the right break

:16:00.:16:05.

out? Back in July a loyalist band was accused of playing a sectarian

:16:05.:16:10.

chant outside the local Catholic church. Last month, there was

:16:10.:16:15.

trouble after another parade in exactly the same place. There were

:16:15.:16:19.

fears of violence during yesterday's republican march, but

:16:19.:16:23.

no-one expected it would be so intense. This is a busy part of

:16:23.:16:30.

Belfast, the city centre is only a mile away. But this evening things

:16:30.:16:33.

have returned to normal. But the reality is behind the scenes there

:16:33.:16:39.

is underlying tension. Another parade will take place here at the

:16:39.:16:43.

end of this month. Work has already started to try to prevent another

:16:44.:16:49.

riot. Our top story tonight: David

:16:49.:16:54.

Cameron is finalising his first major Cabinet reshuffle expected

:16:54.:17:02.

tomorrow. Coming up: Stepping off the 87th floor, Prince Andrew's

:17:25.:17:29.

The Education Secretary, Michael Gove, has told MPs the current GCSE

:17:29.:17:34.

exam is unfit for a purpose and said proposals for a new exam will

:17:34.:17:39.

be announced this autumn. He said he would not interfere with the

:17:39.:17:43.

independence of the exam's regulator in its conclusion that

:17:43.:17:49.

this year's GCSE English exam was fair. It comes on the day 55 new

:17:49.:17:56.

free schools opened in England. The Government's message on exams

:17:56.:18:00.

has been clear, they will get tougher and grades will not keep

:18:00.:18:06.

going up, but nobody expected it just yet. Least of all teenagers

:18:06.:18:11.

all over the country except Scotland to sate their GCSE English

:18:11.:18:16.

this summer. They were marked more harshly than those who sat it early

:18:16.:18:23.

in January leaving some with a danger of losing places in 6th form.

:18:23.:18:28.

Today Labour went on the attack. is blatantly unfair to move the

:18:28.:18:32.

goalposts without warning made way throughout the year. This is rough

:18:32.:18:38.

justice. Does he agree? But the Education Secretary said it was up

:18:38.:18:44.

with a watchdog, Ofqual, to deal with the issue. It is an

:18:44.:18:48.

independent regulator accountable to Parliament. If ministers were to

:18:48.:18:52.

interfere they would be meddling and it is deeply irresponsible,

:18:52.:18:57.

cynical and opportunistic for the honourable member to make that case.

:18:57.:19:01.

This row looks fully set to continue, although those pupils who

:19:01.:19:05.

think they have been marked too harshly are being given the chance

:19:05.:19:11.

to sit the exams early, but that is not enough for one teachers' union.

:19:11.:19:15.

This matter is still far from closed. We are actively

:19:15.:19:19.

investigating the possibility of a legal challenge and we are going to

:19:19.:19:25.

continue to fight hard for justice for the young people. The row comes

:19:25.:19:29.

as English schools' experience a major change. Traditional

:19:29.:19:33.

comprehensives are being replaced by academies and free schools are

:19:33.:19:39.

reshaping the landscape. Michael Gove visited a new free school in

:19:39.:19:43.

Birmingham today, one off 55 opening this term. The sector is

:19:43.:19:47.

small, but they are close to his heart and popular with parents he

:19:47.:19:53.

says. But it has not all been smooth. The plug was pulled on this

:19:53.:19:57.

free school in Bradford just eight days before it was due to open

:19:57.:20:04.

after it did not attract enough pupils. The other major changes are

:20:04.:20:09.

academies which are set to account for half of all English secondaries.

:20:09.:20:14.

They are state-funded but not under local authority control giving the

:20:14.:20:20.

head teachers more freedom. We can deliver longer hours of work,

:20:20.:20:23.

enabling our students to engage for longer periods at the beginning and

:20:23.:20:28.

at the end of the day and we can build on their learning experiences.

:20:28.:20:34.

It all heralds this low end of the standard comprehensive. This was

:20:34.:20:38.

the first in England and it is now an Academy, a clear and potent sign

:20:38.:20:43.

of the changing times. An inquiry has been shown video

:20:43.:20:47.

footage of the moment armed officers surrounded a car in north

:20:47.:20:51.

London and shot one of the passengers dead. Azelle Rodney was

:20:51.:20:55.

hit by six bullets and died instantly when their vehicle was

:20:55.:21:00.

stopped in north London seven years ago. A judge led inquiry is being

:21:00.:21:03.

held into his death rather than an inquest because sensitive

:21:03.:21:08.

intelligence evidence is being heard.

:21:08.:21:14.

Azelle Rodney was 24 when he was shot dead by police. One officer

:21:14.:21:19.

fired eight bullets, six hit him in the head and body. Fire arms were

:21:19.:21:22.

found in the car in which he was travelling, but he did not have a

:21:22.:21:27.

gun in his hand when he was shot. For his mother, Susan Alexander,

:21:27.:21:34.

this inquiry is the first public hearing into her son's death.

:21:34.:21:38.

In April 2005, firearms officers from Scotland Yard were following a

:21:38.:21:42.

car in Mill Hill in north London. They believed the three men inside

:21:42.:21:47.

could be armed and on their way to rip off a suspected Colombian drugs

:21:47.:21:52.

gang. The police carried out what is called a hard stop on the car, a

:21:52.:21:57.

Volkswagen Golf. It was an officer known as the seven who fired the

:21:57.:22:02.

fatal shots. The police car he was in had stopped and he was in the

:22:02.:22:05.

front passenger seat and his window was on a level with one of the

:22:05.:22:11.

windows on the golf and he opened fire. Seven years on, why has the

:22:11.:22:17.

legal process taken so long? The Crown Prosecution Service said in

:22:17.:22:20.

2006 there was insufficient evidence to bring charges against

:22:20.:22:23.

any police officer. The following year a coroner said an inquest

:22:23.:22:27.

could not take place because he could not access sensitive

:22:27.:22:31.

information. This inquiry has been set up which will hear some, but

:22:31.:22:37.

not all, of the evidence. At the hearing the first of the

:22:37.:22:40.

intelligence documents were displayed on screen with some

:22:40.:22:45.

details blacked out. Campaigners have concerns about the inquiry.

:22:45.:22:50.

The key problem is there is no dewy presiding over the actions of these

:22:50.:22:55.

police officers. The other concern we have is whether or not all of

:22:55.:23:01.

the evidence will be held in public. The two men in the car were later

:23:01.:23:06.

convicted of firearms offences. The inquiry is due to run until the end

:23:06.:23:10.

of the year and one of its aims will be to see what lessons can be

learned. The -- the Green Party has elected

:23:17.:23:21.

a new leader in England and Wales. Australian-born journalist Natalie

:23:22.:23:26.

Bennett has taken over from Caroline Lucas. In her opening

speech she said she was deeply honoured to take on the role.

a big task to lead the Green Party, in particular stepping into the

:23:36.:23:40.

enormous shoes of Caroline Lucas, although she will still be in

:23:40.:23:44.

Parliament. Up and down the country there are many thousands of Green

:23:44.:23:50.

Party members who will be with me. This is very much a team effort.

:23:50.:23:54.

The new leader of the Green Party. Prince Harry has made his first

:23:54.:23:58.

public appearance since controversial photos showed him

:23:58.:24:03.

appearing naked on the Internet. He is attending an award ceremony for

:24:03.:24:08.

the WellChild charity for which he is patron. It celebrates the life

:24:08.:24:12.

of seriously ill youngsters and doctors and nurses who care for

:24:12.:24:18.

them. Nicholas Witchell is at the venue for us now. It is the sort of

:24:18.:24:21.

engagement his advisers will be hoping will help re-establish a

:24:21.:24:27.

more acceptable image for him. it is his first public appearance

:24:27.:24:32.

since that weekend in Las Vegas and since those photographs. This is

:24:32.:24:36.

him trying to transition back to a more orthodox royal image and away

:24:36.:24:41.

from the image that made an indelible impression on millions of

:24:41.:24:45.

people around the world. Not the easiest of transitions it is fair

:24:45.:24:51.

to say. He is here as patron of WellChild, a charity which cares

:24:51.:24:56.

for Sick children, but he has been doing what he always does well. He

:24:56.:25:00.

has been attending a reception and talking to the children and looking

:25:00.:25:06.

very relaxed. He will be making a speech later. He has been to talk

:25:06.:25:10.

to his father in Scotland, but without being sanctimonious, his

:25:10.:25:16.

family were hope that at the age of 28 youthful indiscretions will be

becoming a thing of the past. Another royal charity event because

:25:22.:25:27.

it was a royal descent like no other. Prince Andrew has abseiled

:25:27.:25:33.

down the Shard to raise money for his charity. The 52 year-old said

:25:33.:25:39.

the most difficult part was stepping out from the 87th floor of

:25:39.:25:42.

Europe's tours -- the tallest building, but the stunt raised

:25:42.:25:47.

nearly �300,000. High above the metropolis,

:25:47.:25:51.

virtually in the clouds, something extraordinary is happening. Yes,

:25:51.:25:58.

that is the Queen's son and yes, he has just stepped out of the 87th

:25:58.:26:03.

floor of Europe's tallest building. If you want to know what it feels

:26:03.:26:10.

like, checked out the helmet camera. His speak are sliding down a wet,

:26:10.:26:15.

slick, glass walls and all of this 300 metres above the pavement. It

:26:15.:26:22.

is all the Duke of York's own idea, all to raise money for his crust

:26:22.:26:25.

which encourages youngsters to take on new challenges and face their

:26:25.:26:31.

fears. He has been leading by example. For many of us this would

:26:31.:26:36.

be a terrifying ordeal. The Duke of York's seems to be taking the whole

:26:36.:26:43.

thing in his stride. How did that feel? Back on the ground, relief

:26:43.:26:48.

and a promise fulfilled. This is not about me, this is about the

:26:48.:26:54.

outward bound Trust. We want to change people's lives, but we do it

:26:54.:26:57.

in a way that gives them a challenging environment and a

:26:57.:27:02.

learning environment. He was among 40 abseilers to take on the

:27:02.:27:06.

challenge and they are well on target to raise more than �1

:27:06.:27:11.

million for the outward bound Trust and the Royal Marines charity trust,

:27:11.:27:14.

two causes which have moved him to do this, and all with the approval

:27:14.:27:21.

of his mother and the rest of his family.

:27:21.:27:31.
:27:31.:27:31.

The Prince was falling, but the temperatures were rising and it was

:27:31.:27:36.

a red letter day in Aberdeen, the warmest September day on record for

:27:36.:27:41.

Aberdeen. Tomorrow will not be as hot as it was today because we have

:27:41.:27:46.

got a cold front crossing in from the north-west. It will bring some

:27:46.:27:51.

rain and some strong winds and you can see the extent of that cloud

:27:51.:27:59.

pushing in across Northern Ireland and Scotland. For England and Wales

:27:59.:28:06.

it is a finite with light winds, but mist and low cloud around.

:28:06.:28:11.

Quite a muggy night, temperatures not falling below 16 or 17 in

:28:11.:28:15.

southern areas. In the north of Scotland it will be very windy

:28:15.:28:21.

indeed, first thing in the morning. That should moderate later on in

:28:21.:28:28.

the day. A band of cloud, but very little in the way of rain by the

:28:28.:28:33.

time it reaches southern parts of England and Wales. Light winds

:28:33.:28:37.

across the south, not good news for the sailors. There may be problems

:28:37.:28:44.

with visibility for a time as well. This is 4:00pm, still hanging on to

:28:44.:28:50.

brightness in parts of Kent. But a lot of cloud in central England and

:28:50.:28:54.

Wales, but then we come back to the sunshine with a lovely afternoon to
