Britain sends its biggest aircraft carrier - HMS Illustrious - to help | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
in the relief effort in the Philippines. As the Americans send | :00:10. | :00:16. | |
helicopters and more food - the aid effort steps up a gear. We are | :00:17. | :00:28. | |
seeing the outside world turning up for the first time in real force. A | :00:29. | :00:35. | |
week after the typhoon, little sign of any aid in the Morimoto areas. -- | :00:36. | :00:44. | |
the more remote areas. Also tonight.... A last chance. | :00:45. | :00:48. | |

News at Six. The Royal Navy aircraft carrier, HMS Illustrious, is on her | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
way to the Philippines to help in the relief effort. She'll join the | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
US aircraft carrier, the USS George Washington, which has arrived with | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
5000 sailors on board and will be a floating base for helicopters | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
carrying supplies. HMS Illustrious arrives in ten days. The ship can | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
produce large amounts of much needed drinking water. As well as sending | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
support and supplies, governments have pledged millions of pounds to | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
help including ?12 .5 million from America and ?16 million from the UK. | :01:59. | :02:13. | |
It has taken nearly a week. Today, the might of the US Marine Corps | :02:14. | :02:21. | |
finally arrived in Tacloban in force. Not just the Americans back | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
from France and Belgium, Malaysia and Australia. It is the Americans | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
who have, in the end, had to take control. When we got here, not a lot | :02:32. | :02:39. | |
was happening. It was like everyone was recovering from the shock of it. | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
Now the Philippines military believes we are getting on and we | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
can get them out of here. There has been a dramatic change in the | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
streets beyond the airport. After a week of lying in the open, the dead | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
are being counted and removed for burial. In this one district alone, | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
police registered more than 100 dead bodies. It is a grim task. Even for | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
those trained to deal with death. You are a trained policeman but is | :03:14. | :03:29. | |
it shocking? Yes, yes. We have something to do. I need to finish. | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
One of the most important things is to work out the true death toll. | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
This afternoon we returned to a devastated neighbourhood either see. | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
Even here, some progress is being made. -- why the sea. When I came | :03:46. | :03:55. | |
down here on Monday, this road was totally impassable. It was piled | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
high with debris and fallen trees. Today it has been cleared and | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
traffic is flowing again. This building behind me was used as a | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
morgue and was piled with dead bodies. Those have gone as well. It | :04:10. | :04:17. | |
is not only the dead who have gone. Every day, more and more of the | :04:18. | :04:29. | |
living are helped. This man is wife 's freshly covered grave is behind | :04:30. | :04:40. | |
me. -- this man 's wife 's freshly covered grave is behind me. However | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
much international help now arrives, for some here it would be | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
impossible to overcome the agony and loss of the last few days. The | :04:51. | :05:00. | |
island of Leyte is one of the worst hit in the Philippines. Much of the | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
focus so far has been on the city of Tacloban. But our correspondent, | :05:06. | :05:07. | |
Alastair Leithead, has travelled from the north west of the island to | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
its east coast to find out how more remote areas are coping. He's sent | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
this report. Under clear skies, it is hard to imagine the terror that | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
blew into this beautiful island. These scars are deep. It is an | :05:22. | :05:29. | |
agricultural economy. Broken coconut palms lost income, now and for years | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
to come. Livelihood and homes have been crashed. Rice paddies and | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
banana plantations have been flattened and feedstocks which | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
survived the storm are running low. We drove from west to east as people | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
started to cope with the new normal - shortage and uncertainty. They are | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
waiting for a bus to take them anywhere - anywhere where there is a | :05:58. | :06:03. | |
mobile phone signal and to get food. If we do not receive any donations, | :06:04. | :06:14. | |
these stores do not have food. Down in the interior of the island, the | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
extent of the disaster folded in front of us. After striking the city | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
of Tacloban, the Typhoon powered West down this valley, destroying | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
everything in its path. Imagine the strength needed to bring down a tree | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
of this size. There is fear here. Some prisoners escaped and people | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
are starting to get desperate for food. This man is taking his | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
daughter is taking his daughters to Manila for safety. No communication | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
and electric. For my children, we are going to Manila. Are you worried | :06:52. | :06:58. | |
for your safety? At the same time, scared. We are very scared. When | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
someone is desperate to have food, they do whatever they want to have | :07:05. | :07:11. | |
food. It is even more miserable when the rain comes. It seeps through the | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
thrown together shelters. The bulk of the aid effort has focused on the | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
areas worst affected and you can understand why. This is on the coast | :07:23. | :07:29. | |
and it took the full force of the typhoon. Unless the AIDS network | :07:30. | :07:37. | |
widens quickly, this country potentially faces an even greater | :07:38. | :07:44. | |
catastrophe. -- the aid network. Let's go back to Tacloban now. Tim | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
Willcox is there. It's a week since the typhoon hit, but there are still | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
an awful lot of people not getting the basics they need. Absolutely | :07:55. | :08:01. | |
right. Many people may now be seeing the first signs of a concerted | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
international aid effort. They can hear the planes and helicopters | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
landing at the airport through the night. For tens of thousands, life | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
is still incredibly miserable and squalid. Some corpses have been put | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
into body bags. When we arrived earlier today, they were still lined | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
up by the roadside. Survivors have seen very little change. There is no | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
power, no proper food and no shelter. They will be hoping that a | :08:32. | :08:37. | |
week on things will change radically in the next few days. Birmingham | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
City Council could be stripped of its troubled Children Services | :08:41. | :08:42. | |
Department by Christmas if standards don't improve. The Department for | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
Education will step in to run it if inspectors decide it hasn't improved | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
when they return in a few weeks. Last month, the chief inspector of | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
Ofsted, Sir Michael Wilshaw, said the city's failure to protect | :08:53. | :08:54. | |
vulnerable children was a national disgrace. Our social affairs | :08:55. | :09:07. | |
correspondent reports. For more than a decade, children in Birmingham | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
have been dying needlessly - killed usually by their families but also | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
failed by the agencies failed to protect them. Innocent young lives, | :09:17. | :09:23. | |
whose deaths shame the second city. More than a million people live in | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
this sprawling city - nearly a quarter are under 16 and nearly 2000 | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
children are being looked after by social services. Tara Collins new | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
Keanu Williams during his short life. She gave evidence in court on | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
behalf of her friend were his mother, who is serving a life | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
sentence for his murder. She feels betrayed. He was used as a punchbag. | :09:48. | :09:57. | |
I think he had 37 injuries, if I remember. Bite marks, Burns, | :09:58. | :10:08. | |
bruises. He had been put through so much suffering because nobody | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
noticed anything. Each individual tragedies speaks of a broader | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
failure. There is a huge demand for services here in this city. It has a | :10:20. | :10:26. | |
large, young, diverse population, often living in some of the most | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
deprived communities across the country. Years of challenges and | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
broken promises that improvements are imminent are now coming to a | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
head. The man currently running children's services will here by | :10:40. | :10:42. | |
Christmas the fate of his department. The Secretary of State | :10:43. | :10:49. | |
has a big decision to make. If there has been an easy answer, and that | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
includes bringing in people to run the service, we would have taken it. | :10:54. | :11:01. | |
Ofsted will soon return to Birmingham and discuss whether | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
progress is being made. There have been eight whistle-blowing incidents | :11:07. | :11:09. | |
and nine years of serious case reviews and a decade of failure. | :11:10. | :11:15. | |
Whatever option the government chooses, for Birmingham social | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
workers, the uncertainty continues. We have had lots of wee | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
organisations, none of which have made a significant difference to | :11:25. | :11:30. | |
lives of the children. After years of failure, a decision on how best | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
to protect children in Birmingham is imminent. And you can hear much more | :11:36. | :11:38. | |
about this story on Radio 4 tonight. Simon Cox investigates for The | :11:39. | :11:47. | |
Report. That is at 8pm. Barclays says it is losing 1700 jobs from its | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
high Street branch is because of increased use of technology and | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
online banking by customers. These equate to about one job in every | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
branch and it hopes the cuts can be achieved by voluntary redundancies. | :12:01. | :12:03. | |
The hospital being investigated by police over allegations that staff | :12:04. | :12:05. | |
were bullied into falsifying details about cancer waiting times has been | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
placed in special measures. The health regulator, Monitor, says data | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
inaccuracies at Colchester General Hospital meant it had breached its | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
licence to provide health services. The hospital will now be given | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
advice and support to make improvements. The NHS in Wales is | :12:22. | :12:31. | |
struggling to meet its waiting time targets with the number of patients | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
waiting for more than 36 weeks for hospital treatment doubling in the | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
last six months. The Prime Minister has repeatedly accused the Labour | :12:40. | :12:46. | |
administration in Wales for failing. Our Wales correspondent has the | :12:47. | :12:52. | |
details. Planning treatment, dealing with emergencies. A pressure every | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
hospital across the UK has to cope with everyday. Is the Welsh NHS | :12:58. | :13:08. | |
coping? Not, according to Philip Jones. He has been waiting 12 months | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
for a hip replacement and have just learnt his treatment may be | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
postponed until spring, which means his weight could be 18 months. The | :13:18. | :13:23. | |
target time for treatment in England is 18 weeks. I cannot believe things | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
have got as bad as they are. It is difficult for me to come to terms | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
with the fact we are so far behind our neighbours in England, | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
especially on waiting times and on action such as this. That comparison | :13:38. | :13:43. | |
with England is beating the Prime Minister has turned to several | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
times. There will not be the winter crisis in the NHS in Wales where | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
Labour are in control because there is a crisis every day of the week in | :13:52. | :13:58. | |
Wales. The Welsh NHS has not been performing well for some time. | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
Planned operations have been off track since March 2012. Ambulance | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
response times have been too long since made 2012. Waiting times in | :14:08. | :14:13. | |
A have not hit the target since August 2009. The Labour health | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
minister for Wales was not available for interview today. The Welsh | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
government stresses the majority of patients are seen on time. The | :14:22. | :14:27. | |
pressure is mounting at Wells hospitals are also being felt | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
elsewhere. The cuts to the NHS budget have been deeper than in the | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
rest of the UK. As it finds ways to cope, it has been leading the way. | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
This unit in Newport has consultant cover seven days a week. The wheel | :14:42. | :14:48. | |
College of physicians want it copied across Britain. -- the Royal | :14:49. | :14:56. | |
College. They get wetter treatment and they go home earlier quicker and | :14:57. | :15:05. | |
they are more satisfied. -- better treatment. It is a service that is | :15:06. | :15:07. | |
struggling. Coming up... We join the fans with | :15:08. | :15:27. | |
tickets for cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar's last ever Test. Chris | :15:28. | :15:36. | |
Coleman extend his stay as Wales manager for further two years. | :15:37. | :15:51. | |
Prince Charles has arrived in Sri Lanka to represent the Queen at the | :15:52. | :15:58. | |
Commonwealth summit, which opens tomorrow. David Cameron is also | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
attending, despite some calls for a boycott because of the human rights | :16:03. | :16:07. | |
record there. Sri Lanka's president hit back at criticism over human | :16:08. | :16:10. | |
rights, saying any complaints or abuses committed during or after its | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
civil war will be dealt with. The summit is being held for 53 nations | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
in the Commonwealth, three of those staying away because of those rights | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
issues. Our diplomatic correspondent sent this report, which contains | :16:24. | :16:30. | |
some flash photography. Many people think about slowing down on their | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
65th birthday, but not the Prince of Wales. He is present today. He | :16:35. | :16:42. | |
arrived in Sri Lanka to open a Commonwealth summit, something the | :16:43. | :16:45. | |
Queen has always done until now. She is cutting back on long haul travel, | :16:46. | :16:49. | |
so the birthday prince is the centre of attention here. At a very British | :16:50. | :16:54. | |
party for him in the High Commissioner's garden, all the local | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
produce on show was organic, of course, and spicy, too. Is this for | :16:59. | :17:14. | |
a spicy curry? Yes, spicy. This was always going to be a very | :17:15. | :17:18. | |
significant birthday. It may seem even more significant when one | :17:19. | :17:21. | |
remembers he is here representing the Queen at a highly charged | :17:22. | :17:30. | |
political summit meeting. So a birthday cake offered by Sri | :17:31. | :17:34. | |
Lanka's controversial president had a distinctly political flavour. | :17:35. | :17:38. | |
David Cameron will confront the Prince's host over human rights | :17:39. | :17:44. | |
tomorrow, while Sri Lanka's leader is still batting away all the | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
criticism. If anyone wants to complain about the human rights | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
violation in Sri Lanka, whether it is rape, the system. You must | :17:53. | :17:59. | |
respect the system of a country. The culture of a country. But Britain is | :18:00. | :18:06. | |
not backing down. Instead, the Foreign Secretary flew across the | :18:07. | :18:10. | |
country to push the case for greater reconciliation. William Hague opened | :18:11. | :18:18. | |
a new British funded reconciliation Centre in the south. Sri Lanka | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
unites is a project bringing together and training together young | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
people across ethnic, religious and political divides. That is something | :18:27. | :18:30. | |
his government wants Sri Lanka's President Bush much harder. -- to | :18:31. | :18:39. | |
push much harder. But this evening at his party, the Prince of Wales to | :18:40. | :18:44. | |
get time to relax. For him, plunging into a divided Commonwealth summit | :18:45. | :18:47. | |
is tomorrow's test, after the birthday greetings have faded. David | :18:48. | :18:57. | |
Cameron is due to arrive in Sri Lanka shortly. Before he set off | :18:58. | :19:03. | |
from India this afternoon, he spoke to us and explained why he feels it | :19:04. | :19:08. | |
is important to engage with the government in Sri Lanka, despite the | :19:09. | :19:11. | |
concerns about possible human rights abuses. I know before heading to Sri | :19:12. | :19:16. | |
Lanka you watched a lot of the footage from the end of the terrible | :19:17. | :19:19. | |
civil war there will stop what did it make you feel, what did it make | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
you conclude? The images in that film are completely chilling. It | :19:25. | :19:31. | |
really is an appalling set of allegations. These allegations have | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
been backed up by the work of a UN special rapporteur who has had them | :19:36. | :19:41. | |
verified. I've been talking to the UN High Commissioner about that | :19:42. | :19:44. | |
precise point. These are chilling images of appalling acts. They need | :19:45. | :19:48. | |
to be properly investigated. That is one of the points I will be making | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
on my visit to Sri Lanka. Do you believe that the Sri Lankan | :19:54. | :19:56. | |
government may be guilty of war crimes? I think what is clear from | :19:57. | :20:01. | |
that film is there are legitimate accusations of war crimes that need | :20:02. | :20:05. | |
to be properly investigated. That is actually what the Sri Lankan | :20:06. | :20:11. | |
government and its own lessons learned down, that there were more | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
questions to be answered. But it hasn't answered them. They need to | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
be answered. This was an appalling Civil War, a civil war in which the | :20:20. | :20:25. | |
Tamil Tigers, using suicide bombs and child soldiers, did some | :20:26. | :20:28. | |
appalling things as well. At the end of the war and this particular set | :20:29. | :20:33. | |
of events where civilians seem to have been targeted, that needs to be | :20:34. | :20:37. | |
properly investigated. How on earth is it right that that man and that | :20:38. | :20:43. | |
country is able to chair an important organisation like the | :20:44. | :20:46. | |
Commonwealth and to welcome you as Prime Minister of the United | :20:47. | :20:50. | |
Kingdom? First of all, the decision for Sri Lanka to host a Commonwealth | :20:51. | :20:54. | |
conference was not taken by me or my government, it was taken by the | :20:55. | :20:59. | |
Commonwealth in 2009 when there was a Labour government in Britain. I | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
have the choice to go to that conference because the Commonwealth | :21:05. | :21:07. | |
matters, because we will be discussing how you eradicate | :21:08. | :21:10. | |
poverty, increase free trade and grow our economy is, or to leave | :21:11. | :21:13. | |
that conference, leave an empty chair where we wouldn't be able to | :21:14. | :21:22. | |
have our input. The body of Warrant Officer Ian Fisher has been | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
repatriated to RAF Brize Norton this afternoon. The 42-year-old Warrant | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
Officer Fisher from the 3rd Battalion Mercian Regiment died in | :21:32. | :21:34. | |
Afghanistan on November the 5th. He was killed in a suicide blast while | :21:35. | :21:42. | |
on patrol in Helmand province. The Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg, | :21:43. | :21:45. | |
has said that Roma immigrants who come to Britain from Central and | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
Eastern Europe must respect the British way of life. His comments | :21:50. | :21:52. | |
came after the former Home Secretary, David Blunkett, said he | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
feared problems in part of his constituency in Sheffield, where | :21:57. | :22:00. | |
Roma migrants from Slovakia have set up home, and it could escalate into | :22:01. | :22:06. | |
violence. It could be any terraced street in any northern town, but | :22:07. | :22:13. | |
Page Hall in Sheffield is different. Come to hear at one o'clock in the | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
night, all children, all of them outside. Who? The Roma. It's causing | :22:19. | :22:25. | |
a lot of trouble. The road is dirty, noisy, everything. They are | :22:26. | :22:32. | |
just kicking the ball to ball every time, I'm fed up of it. We never had | :22:33. | :22:38. | |
it before. We are fed up with it now. There are hundreds of Roma | :22:39. | :22:43. | |
here, mainly from Slovakia. In just a few streets they stick together. | :22:44. | :22:47. | |
Not surprising when you consider they are the most discriminated | :22:48. | :22:53. | |
against minority in Europe. These people didn't want to show their | :22:54. | :22:57. | |
faces. Like many Roma here, they are suspicious of what people think. I'm | :22:58. | :23:03. | |
working here ten years. I don't want to go back to Slovakia because I | :23:04. | :23:08. | |
have a better life here. Better life for my children. Do you have | :23:09. | :23:12. | |
problems here? Very good school here. Witt but change can be hard. | :23:13. | :23:18. | |
Kashmir was born in Sheffield and has lived here all his life. People | :23:19. | :23:24. | |
have moved out of this area. As politicians talk about the | :23:25. | :23:28. | |
challenges of integration, the tensions are being felt here. I'm | :23:29. | :23:37. | |
coming here for a better life. What is your problem with that? | :23:38. | :23:41. | |
Disturbances, crowds, hanging around everywhere. It is not very good for | :23:42. | :23:47. | |
the community and the area. The Roma here have been talked about like | :23:48. | :23:52. | |
never before. Words that have to be chosen carefully. So everyone here | :23:53. | :24:00. | |
can live their lives in peace. The Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, | :24:01. | :24:03. | |
regarded by many as the greatest batsmen of all time, has begun his | :24:04. | :24:09. | |
200th and last ever test match. He is the only player to score 100 | :24:10. | :24:12. | |
centuries in international cricket and at close of place dashed back | :24:13. | :24:17. | |
close of play today against the West Indies, he'd racked up almost 16,000 | :24:18. | :24:24. | |
runs. A record-breaking career. Our correspondent has been soaking up | :24:25. | :24:27. | |
the atmosphere in Tendulkar's home city of Mumbai. There was an | :24:28. | :24:34. | |
international Test match in India today. But Sachin Tendulkar was who | :24:35. | :24:37. | |
they'd really come to see. The man they call the Master Blaster. | :24:38. | :24:53. | |
Fans were queueing for block after block for a last glimpse. We are | :24:54. | :25:05. | |
lucky to watch the match. They come from all over the world, among them | :25:06. | :25:10. | |
this woman from London. All the dreams he's made come true for me, | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
the country, the team and the fans. This is history in the making, his | :25:15. | :25:18. | |
last ever match. I'm feeling really emotional. He is God. We all know | :25:19. | :25:31. | |
that. Some fans had come from just down the road, including his mother. | :25:32. | :25:37. | |
She finally built up the courage to watch for the first time ever. Many | :25:38. | :25:41. | |
say he gives the whole nation a boost. Sachin Tendulkar is India's | :25:42. | :25:48. | |
best antidepressant. Whenever India has felt depressed, whenever I've | :25:49. | :25:52. | |
felt depressed, I've turned to this young boy, watched him bat and felt | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
good all over again. After an earlier quarter century of hitting | :25:58. | :26:01. | |
centuries, he's become a global superstar, bigger than Beckham, | :26:02. | :26:06. | |
bigger than cricket. This is the countdown to Sachin Tendulkar | :26:07. | :26:08. | |
leaving the international cricket stage forever, and India is in | :26:09. | :26:12. | |
mourning. But many say his legacy will never be challenged. It is not | :26:13. | :26:22. | |
goodbye yet, as the match is still not over. India is preparing for a | :26:23. | :26:30. | |
new hero without its biggest brand. -- a new hero. Finally, the last | :26:31. | :26:37. | |
living person born in Britain in the 19th century has died at the age of | :26:38. | :26:43. | |
113 years old. Grace Jones, who would have turned 114 next month, | :26:44. | :26:48. | |
was born in 1899. She was a seamstress who lived in London and | :26:49. | :26:51. | |
retired about 50 years ago. She didn't marry, saying she never met | :26:52. | :26:55. | |
anyone as nice as her fiance, who was killed in action during the | :26:56. | :26:56. | |
First World War. The weather looks very different to | :26:57. | :27:10. | |
last night. Temperatures will be dropping. Still got some light | :27:11. | :27:16. | |
showers to come in Wales and the south-west. Where we've got the | :27:17. | :27:23. | |
clear skies, eventually the winds will drop. Temperatures falling away | :27:24. | :27:28. | |
quickly in eastern Scotland. Later, a touch of frost in rural areas | :27:29. | :27:32. | |
across parts of England and East Wales. There is more cloud coming | :27:33. | :27:38. | |
into western areas, western Scotland and Northern Ireland. That cloud | :27:39. | :27:41. | |
isn't going to move a lot tomorrow will stop away from here we should | :27:42. | :27:45. | |
enjoy a good deal of dry weather and some sunshine. Some cloud coming | :27:46. | :27:50. | |
into Cornwall and western parts of Wales, northern parts of Wales. | :27:51. | :27:55. | |
Elsewhere, a good deal of sunshine. After that cold start, temperatures | :27:56. | :27:59. | |
only up to nine degrees in the Midlands and the south-east. | :28:00. | :28:02. | |
Sunshine to the east of the Pennines, more cloud in the | :28:03. | :28:06. | |
north-west of England. A reasonably mild state for Northern Ireland. A | :28:07. | :28:10. | |
bit of rain in western Scotland, some sunshine for the North East of | :28:11. | :28:17. | |
Scotland. Saturday looks like this. Maybe a touch of frost first thing | :28:18. | :28:21. | |
in the south-east of England. A lot of cloud around on Saturday. Later, | :28:22. | :28:27. | |
a band of rain coming in southwards into Scotland and Northern Ireland. | :28:28. | :28:29. | |
Temperatures just getting into double figures. The rain slides | :28:30. | :28:33. | |
slowly southwards into England and Wales. Behind that band of rain it | :28:34. | :28:39. | |
turns a little cooler across the North. But early next week, this is | :28:40. | :28:44. | |
when the cold air arrives. There's the potential for some snow. | :28:45. | :28:46. |
