years. By last November, the jobless total was down to 2.3 million - the

:00:15.:00:18.

number of people on job-seeker's allowance is the lowest for five

:00:19.:00:26.

years. It was horrible being out of work, it was a great feeling to get

:00:27.:00:30.

the job. We'll be asking what the improving job numbers could mean for

:00:31.:00:32.

interest rates. Also tonight... Stan Collymore's anger over abusive

:00:33.:00:35.

tweets - the former England striker blames the site for "not doing

:00:36.:00:41.

enough". Computer coding for kids - lessons for every pupil in England

:00:42.:00:44.

from September, but are there enough trained teachers?

:00:45.:00:51.

Andy Murray is beaten by a new-look Roger Federer at the Australian Open

:00:52.:00:52.

- he loses in four sets. Tonight on BBC London... "In the

:00:53.:01:07.

clutches of a toxic digital world" - the mother of a teenager who

:01:08.:01:10.

committed suicide warns of the Web's dark side. And how an increase in

:01:11.:01:13.

construction jobs has helped reduce unemployment in the capital.

:01:14.:01:28.

Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six. The number of people

:01:29.:01:34.

unemployed has seen its biggest fall since 1997. David Cameron said the

:01:35.:01:40.

latest set of figures meant more security, peace of mind and

:01:41.:01:43.

opportunity for Britain. But the Labour leader, Ed Miliband, said

:01:44.:01:46.

life was still getting harder for millions of people.

:01:47.:01:51.

The number of jobless people fell by a 167,000 in the three months to

:01:52.:01:56.

November. That leaves a total of just over 2.3 million people out of

:01:57.:02:01.

work. The unemployment rate now stands at 7.1%. That's a whisker

:02:02.:02:06.

away from the point at which the Bank of England Governor said he

:02:07.:02:08.

would consider increasing interest rates. Our chief economics

:02:09.:02:09.

correspondent, Hugh Pym, reports. Father and son, both celebrating the

:02:10.:02:24.

rapid improvement in the jobs market. Kevin had been out of work

:02:25.:02:29.

for some time, but he started his new job this week, thanks to a

:02:30.:02:33.

recommendation from his son, who had joined the same company a few months

:02:34.:02:37.

earlier. It was horrible being out of work. It was a great feeling to

:02:38.:02:45.

actually get the job. They are at a fast growing business in Derby which

:02:46.:02:48.

makes carbon fibre components. Heartily thank to companies like

:02:49.:02:53.

this, the City last year saw the biggest fall in the number out of

:02:54.:02:58.

work of any area. Only started the business five years ago. And yet

:02:59.:03:02.

already, he is employing more than 40 staff. I started the business at

:03:03.:03:08.

the beginning of the recession, but I am really enthusiastic about the

:03:09.:03:12.

future, and we are working very hard to grow and to invest in new

:03:13.:03:17.

technology. News of the big drop in unemployment generated cheers on the

:03:18.:03:22.

Government's benches in the Commons, as the Prime Minister highlighted

:03:23.:03:26.

the figures. Youth unemployment coming down, long-term unemployment

:03:27.:03:31.

coming down, the claimant count coming down, unemployment overall

:03:32.:03:36.

coming down. But overall, would we have seen today is the biggest ever

:03:37.:03:39.

quarterly increase in the number of people in work in our country. But

:03:40.:03:43.

with news that average pay rises were still worse than half the rate

:03:44.:03:47.

of inflation, the Labour leader raised the cost of living issue. He

:03:48.:03:53.

is trying to tell millions of families around the country that

:03:54.:03:55.

they are better off, when they are worse off, and they know it. It does

:03:56.:03:59.

not help for the Prime Minister to tell them the opposite. Here in

:04:00.:04:04.

Derby and elsewhere in the UK, falling unemployment is seen as an

:04:05.:04:07.

important barometer for the state of the recovery. But they also know

:04:08.:04:11.

that the Bank of England has said the jobless rate as its key

:04:12.:04:14.

benchmark for its decisions on interest rates. The Bank says it

:04:15.:04:20.

will only consider interest rate rises when the jobless total is 7%

:04:21.:04:25.

of the workforce. The bank thought it would stay above that figure for

:04:26.:04:28.

at least three years. But by December, it had fallen to 7.4%.

:04:29.:04:36.

Today, it has fallen again, to 7.1%. When the Bank of England first set

:04:37.:04:40.

up its forward guidance system, they said they were not going to raise

:04:41.:04:44.

rates until the middle of next year. But now, the speed of improvement in

:04:45.:04:48.

activity and employment data suggests they may have to consider

:04:49.:04:52.

raising them this year. The Bank has made clear it is in no rush to raise

:04:53.:04:58.

the cost of borrowing, even after the jobless rate hits 7%. That will

:04:59.:05:02.

be a relief to consumers, but not savers. Our political editor, Nick

:05:03.:05:10.

Robinson, is in Downing Street. These figures, just the kind of

:05:11.:05:13.

thing the Government has been waiting for? Yes, Cameron and George

:05:14.:05:18.

Osborne probably desperately wanted to utter those words, I told you so,

:05:19.:05:23.

so, today, but they just about managed to hold themselves back. But

:05:24.:05:27.

they do want to crow about. They want to say, unemployment is not

:05:28.:05:31.

just falling, it is doing so on every single measure that counts.

:05:32.:05:35.

Inflation is also falling. It comes just before figures which will come

:05:36.:05:39.

out next week which will confirm what we heard from the International

:05:40.:05:42.

Monetary Fund yesterday, which is that growth is increasing. They head

:05:43.:05:47.

off to that the summit of the world's rich and famous in Davos in

:05:48.:05:51.

Switzerland, able to hold their heads high. One year ago, people

:05:52.:05:55.

were saying, poor you, you are probably heading for a double, even

:05:56.:06:01.

a triple dip recession. Labour are responding, as they have each time

:06:02.:06:05.

there has been good news, by saying that many people are simply not

:06:06.:06:09.

feeling better off. We had an intriguing development in that

:06:10.:06:13.

today. David Cameron in PMQs insisted that after tax, if that was

:06:14.:06:16.

taken into account, people's take-home pay was, at least if you

:06:17.:06:23.

were in the bottom 80% of the population, your actual take-home

:06:24.:06:27.

pay has gone up in the last year. I have spent the afternoon trying to

:06:28.:06:31.

find the statistical basis for that claim, something which Labour say

:06:32.:06:35.

they simply do not believe. I am now told that it is based on internal

:06:36.:06:41.

calculation is made in the Treasury, unpublished figures from the Office

:06:42.:06:44.

for National Statistics. But if people do not believe them, I am

:06:45.:06:47.

told ministers will produce what they insist is hard evidence that

:06:48.:06:51.

after a period of getting poorer, we are beginning to get, some of us at

:06:52.:06:55.

least, Richie Reagan. Labour will still say, that will still leave us

:06:56.:07:00.

poorer than we were when the coalition came to power. -- which

:07:01.:07:06.

are again. And you can find out more about levels of unemployment where

:07:07.:07:09.

you live by looking at the jobs tracker on the BBC News website.

:07:10.:07:15.

The former England footballer Stan Collymore says he's dismayed with

:07:16.:07:19.

the social networking site Twitter, accusing it of doing nothing about a

:07:20.:07:22.

stream of abusive messages he has received. He says he has been

:07:23.:07:25.

subjected to racist abuse and death threats after he suggested the

:07:26.:07:27.

Liverpool striker Luis Suarez dived during a match at the weekend.

:07:28.:07:33.

Here's our sports editor, David Bond.

:07:34.:07:41.

A straight dive for Luis Suarez, they have robbed their way back into

:07:42.:07:48.

the game, I'm afraid. Stan Collymore, a pundit with a

:07:49.:07:51.

reputation for telling it as he sees it. He cheated and he dived to get a

:07:52.:07:57.

penalty. Forget the contact issue, it was not enough to knock over a

:07:58.:08:03.

toddler. His remarks led to a torrent of abuse on Twitter. He says

:08:04.:08:07.

he has had enough. It has not just been racist abuse, of which there

:08:08.:08:13.

have been 10-15 quite foul messages, but also threats of murder. I am

:08:14.:08:16.

there to turn up on your doorstep and I am going to murder you. That

:08:17.:08:21.

is I would suggest a fairly serious crime. Online abuse is a relatively

:08:22.:08:26.

new problem. In 2012, over 4000 incidents of abuse on the main

:08:27.:08:30.

social media platforms were reported to police across Britain. 643 people

:08:31.:08:35.

were charged. There are no figures available for convictions, as

:08:36.:08:40.

official statistics include e-mails, text and telephone calls. These two

:08:41.:08:46.

were convicted. They will be sentenced later this week for

:08:47.:08:50.

sending threatening tweets to this woman, Caroline Criado-Perez, who

:08:51.:08:55.

successfully campaigned to have Jane Austen on the ?10 note. Police are

:08:56.:08:58.

now investigating Collymore's claims, but there is a limit on what

:08:59.:09:03.

they can do. From a legal perspective, Twitter is seen as an

:09:04.:09:06.

intermediary, not as a publisher. They do not have the same rules

:09:07.:09:11.

which publishers such as newspapers or online websites might have. With

:09:12.:09:15.

half a billion tweets per day, Twitter says monitoring content is

:09:16.:09:20.

near impossible. They add that they do take action when their specific

:09:21.:09:23.

threats of violence or if there is direct, targeted abuse. Sports stars

:09:24.:09:30.

like Tom Daley have been among the most enthusiastic users of Twitter.

:09:31.:09:33.

But sport attracts fierce debate, and many have paid the price. Tom

:09:34.:09:39.

Daley, for his part, thinks Twitter has always acted responsibly. For

:09:40.:09:43.

me, whenever I have had problems with Twitter, it has been sorted out

:09:44.:09:47.

pretty quickly. I do not know what they are doing behind-the-scenes, I

:09:48.:09:52.

cannot comment on that, I know that any experiences I have had have been

:09:53.:09:55.

sorted pretty quickly. Football is once again the arena for a debate

:09:56.:09:58.

about wider social issues. Stan Collymore hopes his intervention may

:09:59.:10:03.

prompt a rethink on how social networks are regulated.

:10:04.:10:06.

Two people have been shot dead in clashes between police and

:10:07.:10:09.

demonstrators in the Ukrainian capital, Kiev. They are the first

:10:10.:10:12.

fatalities since the start of protests two months ago. It follows

:10:13.:10:15.

the Ukrainian president's decision to shun a deal with the European

:10:16.:10:20.

Union. He favours closer ties to Russia. Our correspondent Daniel

:10:21.:10:22.

Sandford is in Kiev. Yes, there is a huge anti-government

:10:23.:10:35.

demonstration tonight. What you can see behind me is the peaceful

:10:36.:10:40.

protest, but just 300 metres to my left, things were very different

:10:41.:10:48.

today. As night fell, violent demonstrators were stoking the fires

:10:49.:10:53.

on the barricades in Kiev. This was the day when new anti-protest laws

:10:54.:10:59.

were introduced in Ukraine, but they were not designed to deal with this

:11:00.:11:04.

kind of chaos. This evening, this square in central Kiev is like a

:11:05.:11:08.

vision of hell, with black tyres burning and protesters hurling

:11:09.:11:12.

stones and firing fireworks straight into the lines of riot police. The

:11:13.:11:20.

violence started at breakfast time. Police had tried to clear the

:11:21.:11:24.

barricades, and this was the response of the protesters. The riot

:11:25.:11:27.

officers they were attacking had been deployed to defend the

:11:28.:11:31.

Ukrainian parliament, which passed the hated new laws. The Prime

:11:32.:11:35.

Minister made this statement, which only stoked their anger.

:11:36.:11:41.

TRANSLATION: The cynicism of the terrorists has reached the stage

:11:42.:11:44.

where they are even throwing Molotov cocktails at people. It all began in

:11:45.:11:49.

December, as demonstrations in favour of joining the European Union

:11:50.:11:55.

took place. But it has ended with officers firing plastic bullets at

:11:56.:11:58.

the crowd. And today, the police confirmed for the first time that

:11:59.:12:02.

some protesters had died. In hospital, I found Valery Fisun, a

:12:03.:12:09.

retired military man from Crimea lost his eye in the fighting on

:12:10.:12:16.

Monday. It was his birthday. TRANSLATION: I was near the

:12:17.:12:20.

barricade when the riot police fired and hit my head. I took the bullet

:12:21.:12:24.

out myself with my hand, and then I was taken away by ambulance, which

:12:25.:12:29.

brought me here to the hospital. I had surgery straightaway, and might

:12:30.:12:32.

I was removed. Below Parliament, police made several attempts to

:12:33.:12:37.

clear the crowd, resulting in further injuries. The violence is

:12:38.:12:45.

still really confined to one street. There were holes in the fighting,

:12:46.:12:48.

when more peaceful protesters went up to the front line to sing the

:12:49.:12:53.

national anthem, before the chaos descended again. Opposition leaders

:12:54.:13:02.

held three hours of talks with President Yanukovych tonight, but

:13:03.:13:06.

one of them, the former world boxing champion Vitaly Critchlow, has just

:13:07.:13:10.

told the crowd that they made little progress. However, he called for

:13:11.:13:14.

restraint, saying he did not want to see any more bloodshed, he did not

:13:15.:13:18.

want to tell any more mothers that their sons had been killed.

:13:19.:13:24.

For the first time since the Syrian conflict began three years ago,

:13:25.:13:28.

representatives of the government and opposition forces have sat

:13:29.:13:33.

around the same table. But as the long-awaited peace conference got

:13:34.:13:36.

under way in Switzerland, there were angry words from both sides.

:13:37.:13:38.

Detailed negotiations begin on Friday. So is there any chance of a

:13:39.:13:41.

breakthrough? Our correspondent Paul Wood reports from Montreux.

:13:42.:13:49.

War criminal to some, a saviour to his supporters today. The fate of

:13:50.:13:57.

President Assad is the main issue in this conference. These are not yet

:13:58.:14:00.

direct talks between regime and opposition. But at least they are in

:14:01.:14:06.

the same room. Syria's Foreign Minister had this to say about the

:14:07.:14:14.

opponents of the regime. The media claims these terrorists are

:14:15.:14:17.

moderate, but they know full well they are extremists and terrorists.

:14:18.:14:24.

The UN Secretary-General accused him of using inflammatory language. I

:14:25.:14:34.

have the right to give the Syrian version, you live in New York, I

:14:35.:14:39.

live in Syria. Yes, of course, that is the object. That is my right. We

:14:40.:14:45.

have to have some constructive and harmonious dialogue. Please refrain

:14:46.:14:53.

from any inflammatory... Ban Ki-Moon is usually quite mild-mannered, but

:14:54.:14:58.

these are intractable issues. The opposition insist Mr Assad cannot be

:14:59.:15:02.

part of a transitional government. TRANSLATION: All the vicar terms in

:15:03.:15:09.

Syria are just to allow one man to retain his throne. No-throw and has

:15:10.:15:12.

the value of one single innocent life. There is no way, no way

:15:13.:15:18.

possible in the imagination, that the man who has led the brutal

:15:19.:15:22.

response to his own people could read gain legitimacy to govern. One

:15:23.:15:28.

man, and those who have supported him, can no longer hold an entire

:15:29.:15:32.

nation and region hostage. No one should have worried that the

:15:33.:15:36.

diplomatic niceties would obscure the real issues here. One side

:15:37.:15:40.

thinks these discussions should be all about regime change. The other

:15:41.:15:44.

side believes the talks should be about anything but a transition of

:15:45.:15:48.

powerful stop at the end of the first day of meetings, the two sides

:15:49.:15:53.

seem as impossibly far apart as ever.

:15:54.:15:59.

The latest fighting. Perhaps 130,000 people have died in Syria. President

:16:00.:16:10.

Assad has clung on power but he cannot win an outright victory.

:16:11.:16:15.

Neither can the rebels. The hope comes from both sides recognising

:16:16.:16:20.

that fact and beginning a dialogue. Well, the issue of Syria sparked

:16:21.:16:24.

controversy at Westminster. MPs have been arguing over how many Syrian

:16:25.:16:28.

refugees Britain should be taking. Our deputy political editor, James

:16:29.:16:36.

Landale, is at Westminster. Do you think we are seeing Syria becoming a

:16:37.:16:40.

political issue for the first time? I think there are shared aims but a

:16:41.:16:45.

very different approach. At the moment, the government and Britain

:16:46.:16:51.

are doing a lot for Syrian refugees. 600 million pounds has been donated

:16:52.:16:59.

for food, water and shelter. Today, for the first time, the Prime

:17:00.:17:03.

Minister indicated that he would consider taking in some of the most

:17:04.:17:08.

vulnerable refugees, the orphans, the torture victims, the most

:17:09.:17:12.

severely injured people, but he was not willing to sign up to a separate

:17:13.:17:16.

United Nations scheme which could potentially mean hundreds coming to

:17:17.:17:20.

live here. Labour say that is not good enough, they will force a vote

:17:21.:17:23.

in the House of Commons next week and they think they will get some

:17:24.:17:28.

good cross-party support. The government thinks most refugees want

:17:29.:17:31.

to be helped in the region so when the conflict is over they can go

:17:32.:17:36.

home more easily. I also detect some Whitehall worry about the impact on

:17:37.:17:41.

the Met migration figures. But now, David Cameron has opened the door a

:17:42.:17:45.

little to some Syrian refugees and Labour think that door should be

:17:46.:17:52.

opened a lot wider. Thank you. Our top story this evening: Latest

:17:53.:17:56.

figures show the biggest fall in the number of unemployed people for more

:17:57.:17:59.

than 15 years. Still to come: And now for the

:18:00.:18:02.

women's coalition - Samantha and Miriam lend their support to a

:18:03.:18:05.

campaign to encourage teenage girls to aim high.

:18:06.:18:11.

Later on BBC London: This film is hotly tipped for Oscar success - but

:18:12.:18:15.

why is the number of ethnic minority film makers falling?

:18:16.:18:18.

And the capital's bravest bobby - an award for the policeman who arrested

:18:19.:18:20.

a man wielding a samurai sword. From September, every child in

:18:21.:18:32.

England will have to learn computer coding. But, are there enough

:18:33.:18:37.

trained teachers to do the job? Today the Education Secretary called

:18:38.:18:41.

it "the language of the future". To most of us this little programme

:18:42.:18:45.

makes no sense at all, in fact it's an illustration of the kind of

:18:46.:18:48.

instruction that could run this next report. Here's our technology

:18:49.:18:52.

correspondent, Rory Cellan-Jones. His report contains some flashing

:18:53.:19:01.

images. Meet Ruby and Siena, primary school

:19:02.:19:07.

pupils who have programmed this car using a computer language called

:19:08.:19:12.

Python. It sounds difficult to me. It is hard to learn it but

:19:13.:19:16.

eventually you get the hang of it. I have picked it up quite quickly but

:19:17.:19:21.

I know some people have been struggling a bit. From next

:19:22.:19:25.

September, every child at a state school in England will have to learn

:19:26.:19:32.

computer coding. I can lock you out. Michael Gove thinks the next

:19:33.:19:35.

generation could be out in the cold if they do not learn the skills. At

:19:36.:19:55.

an educational technology fair he came to trumpet a revolution in the

:19:56.:19:57.

way children learn about computers. I do not think anyone can deny that

:19:58.:20:00.

schools will be a better place and children will be better prepared for

:20:01.:20:03.

the future if they understand the language of the future, and that is

:20:04.:20:05.

computer programming. From September, ICT will be replaced by

:20:06.:20:11.

coding, perhaps making mobile phone apps. The problem is, there are

:20:12.:20:16.

16,000 secondary school ICT teachers and most of them will not be up to

:20:17.:20:22.

speed on computer coding. There are 160,000 primary school teachers who

:20:23.:20:26.

will also have to understand the subject. So, a big job ahead

:20:27.:20:31.

training teachers to bring computing alive. This teacher is a coding

:20:32.:20:35.

enthusiasts but says training his staff is an enormous challenge. The

:20:36.:20:45.

staff development took take the time to teach coding and understand what

:20:46.:20:49.

is expected from the curriculum, never mind the practicalities of

:20:50.:20:53.

teaching coding to children. That will happen in every school across

:20:54.:20:57.

England? I think it will be difficult to do in a short space of

:20:58.:21:01.

time so we are very much up against it. The promises the new curriculum

:21:02.:21:06.

will provide an exciting way of introducing computing concepts that

:21:07.:21:11.

teachers will worry that they do not have time to learn a new language

:21:12.:21:14.

before they have to start teaching it.

:21:15.:21:19.

The Lib Dems MP Mike Hancock has been suspended by his party after

:21:20.:21:23.

officials were shown a leaked copy of a report into allegations of

:21:24.:21:27.

sexual misconduct. Mr Hancock temporarily resigned from the party

:21:28.:21:31.

last year in order to contest a High Court civil action brought by a

:21:32.:21:37.

female constituents but remained a councillor in Portsmouth. A police

:21:38.:21:41.

investigation into the claims found no further action should be taken.

:21:42.:21:48.

Nick Clegg's wife, Miriam, has denied a newspaper report that she

:21:49.:21:52.

put pressure on her husband to take a tough line on the sexual

:21:53.:21:54.

harassment row involving the Liberal Democrat peer Lord Rennard. She,

:21:55.:21:57.

along with Samantha Cameron, appeared at an event to encourage

:21:58.:22:01.

teenage girls to aim high in their careers. Our education correspondent

:22:02.:22:09.

Reeta Chakrabarti has more. They are wonderful women and have a

:22:10.:22:14.

can-do attitude in life. Miriam Gonzalez Durantez at a secondary

:22:15.:22:19.

school in Essex hoping to inspire 100 girls to aim high in their

:22:20.:22:23.

careers. She was not the only famous face here, at an event risking being

:22:24.:22:30.

ambushed by newspaper headlines saying she had urged her husband to

:22:31.:22:35.

take a tough stance on Lord Rennard. So had she? It is a complete

:22:36.:22:43.

fabrication. If I wanted to say something I would say it openly and

:22:44.:22:47.

publicly and what we are doing here today is supporting the girls and my

:22:48.:22:51.

opinions about the political issues of the day, I keep them to myself.

:22:52.:22:57.

She was here to talk about an issue close to her heart, persuading girls

:22:58.:23:01.

to be ambitious in their lives and look beyond jobs women have

:23:02.:23:06.

traditionally done. In her first broadcast interview since the

:23:07.:23:10.

coalition was formed, she said she herself did not come from a

:23:11.:23:14.

privileged background and had succeeded through sheer hard work.

:23:15.:23:18.

At the end of the day, it is what is within you. You may get there sooner

:23:19.:23:27.

or later, but I remember the day when I had a scholarship and I

:23:28.:23:33.

thought, this glamorous school, kids from glamorous schools around me and

:23:34.:23:40.

I thought, you know, I can actually compete. It might require more

:23:41.:23:45.

effort but I can do it. She wanted the girls to feel the same way but

:23:46.:23:48.

were they put off careers in politics after this week's

:23:49.:23:53.

headlines? At every profession you will have problems when men and

:23:54.:23:57.

women work together. The problem is when things are made public when

:23:58.:24:00.

other things that happen are not always so public. I would still

:24:01.:24:04.

consider going into politics with everything that is going on. Not

:24:05.:24:11.

quite the day she had hoped for but Miriam Gonzalez Durantez will have

:24:12.:24:14.

achieved to macro things today, inspiring young girls and squashing

:24:15.:24:18.

some unwelcome rumours. Andy Murray has lost to a resurgent

:24:19.:24:21.

Roger Federer at the quarter finals of the Australian Open. Murray was

:24:22.:24:27.

playing his first grand slam tournament since recovering from

:24:28.:24:29.

back surgery and was outplayed for much of the encounter, although he

:24:30.:24:32.

did stage a third set fight back. Here's our sports correspondent Andy

:24:33.:24:36.

Swiss. He had yet to be tested in Melbourne

:24:37.:24:41.

but Andy Murray knew that was about to change. His opponent, only the

:24:42.:24:45.

most successful man in tennis history, but one still it seems with

:24:46.:24:51.

a point to prove. Last year, Roger Federer looked like yesterday's man

:24:52.:24:55.

but here he was back to his fluent, near flawless best. The touch, the

:24:56.:25:00.

timing and soon a two set lead. Murray, only recently recovered from

:25:01.:25:06.

back surgery was flailing. From the brink of defeat, he suddenly stirred

:25:07.:25:18.

in barnstorming style. From two match point down, Murray clinched a

:25:19.:25:20.

third set tie-break with another nerve shredding comeback on the

:25:21.:25:22.

cards. For a while, it seemed like it might. But Federer rolled back

:25:23.:25:26.

the years. In a flash, it was over. On this form, and 80th grand slam

:25:27.:25:33.

title could beckon for Federer. For Murray, doggie displayed at an

:25:34.:25:37.

ultimately disappointing defeat. Time for a look at the weather,

:25:38.:25:39.

here's John Hammond. It is actually relatively quiet out

:25:40.:25:51.

there. Later on we will see a band of heavy, squally showers sweeping

:25:52.:25:55.

across Northern Ireland, into western parts of Scotland. Ahead of

:25:56.:26:00.

that we could see if you missed patches forming. Temperatures close

:26:01.:26:03.

to freezing. That presents a problem. There will be some rain,

:26:04.:26:09.

hail, sleet and snow down to low levels. A wild start the day with

:26:10.:26:14.

some thunder and lightning possible. We could see a late dip in

:26:15.:26:19.

temperatures so the risk of ice. Watch out for that first thing in

:26:20.:26:23.

the morning. A band of squally showers will rattle through the rest

:26:24.:26:27.

of the country promptly in the morning. We will see some sunshine.

:26:28.:26:32.

Most of us will see some sunshine tomorrow afternoon. There will be

:26:33.:26:37.

scattered showers. It will be windy and cold than today. Temperatures

:26:38.:26:42.

will be a couple of degrees down on today's values. The showers in

:26:43.:26:46.

northern areas will be wintry down to low levels. A frosty night

:26:47.:26:50.

tomorrow night and then it is all change again. Rain sweeping in from

:26:51.:26:54.

the West. Some uncertainty about the timing. Warnings have been issued

:26:55.:27:00.

from the Met Office. A cold feeling as well. We will see a late rise in

:27:01.:27:04.

temperature from the west later in the day. Beyond that, for the

:27:05.:27:09.

weekend, we are into a run-off strong westerly winds on Saturday.

:27:10.:27:14.

You can see what is on the menu for Sunday. Make the most of Saturday

:27:15.:27:18.

because Sunday looks pretty filthy. Thank

:27:19.:27:19.
