British astronaut Tim Peake has just arrived at the International Space | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
He blasted off from Kazakhstan this morning with two other astronauts | :00:07. | :00:17. | |
from Russia and America at the start of a six month journey in space. | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
Minutes after lift off, a thumbs-up from Tim Peake - | :00:22. | :00:23. | |
the first British astronaut to go into space for 25 years. | :00:24. | :00:29. | |
Waving goodbye to his dad - six-year-old Thomas watches | :00:30. | :00:33. | |

I'm very very humbled and proud that our son is up there, | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
In the last half hour, the astronauts completed one | :00:42. | :00:47. | |
of the trickiest parts of the journey, when they successfully | :00:48. | :00:49. | |

to the BBC News at Six. The British astronaut Tim Peake has | :01:30. | :01:52. | |
made history this evening as he docked at the | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
International Space Station. The 43-year-old former army pilot | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
is the first publicly funded The Soyuz space capsule carrying him | :01:59. | :02:00. | |
and two other astronauts arrived at the space station half an hour | :02:01. | :02:07. | |
ago, after a six hour This is the Soyuz as it approached | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
the ISS a short time ago - it docked a little later | :02:12. | :02:18. | |

correspondent Palab Ghosh, who's in Khasakstan from where | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
Tim Peake blasted off this morning. Sophie, I am in Baikonur city's | :02:25. | :02:37. | |
community hall, and it is here that Tim Peake's family will be coming to | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
speak to him, from the International Space Station. It will be their | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
first chance to hear about his remarkable journey, which began this | :02:47. | :02:47. | |
morning. A momentous day for Tim Peake. And | :02:48. | :02:56. | |
an historic one for Britain. How do you feel? Fantastic. Really good. We | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
are ready. He is finally on his way to space. Tim and his fellow crew | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
mates are at the cosmodrome in Baikonur, to get ready for the | :03:08. | :03:09. | |
launch. On the other side of the glass, his | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
family. This will be the last time they will see him, before he blasts | :03:15. | :03:23. | |
off into space. Space. He is waving and smiling and giving the thumbs | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
up. His wife Rebecca and his two son, next stage to go on the the bus | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
to go to launch pad. With him, on his left, is his | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
commander, cosmonaut Yuri Malenchenko and next to him, is | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
Nasa's Tim Kopra. So how does Rebecca feel a few hours before the | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
launch? I am really happy, you know, it has been a long swrurny to get to | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
this point, we are really excited to get to this stage in the game. He | :03:51. | :03:57. | |
looks so ready for it, it is great. A final wave goodbye, before Tim and | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
the rest of the crew get onboard their Soyuz rocket. It stands on the | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
same launch pad from which Yuri Gagarin set off to become the first | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
man in space, more than 50 years ago. | :04:12. | :04:20. | |
The final countdown begins. 3, 2, 1! | :04:21. | :04:32. | |
Look at that. Bye daddy. Bye. And lift off. Lift off of Tim Kopra, | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
Yuri Malenchenko and Timothy Peake on their way to the International | :04:38. | :04:46. | |
Space Station. So far getting good first stage | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
performance, the Soyuz delivering 930,000 pounds of thrust from its | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
single core engine. First stage of the Soyuz 68 feet in length, 24 feet | :04:56. | :05:03. | |
in diameter, it will be burning liquid fuel four the first two | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
minutes and six seconds is of the flight. | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
On the ground jubilation, from his friends, and family. Very emotional. | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
I have to confess, it was. It has been such a long time an he has want | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
it for such a long time and finally it is here. We have done it. | :05:21. | :05:27. | |
In the capsule, Tim tells us he is feeling fine. Pitch and roll | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
nominal. The crew are weightless. The danger from the launch is now | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
over. And coming into view, the Soyuz | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
capsule, a scene from the International Space Station. And | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
then, the spacecraft docks. Tim will have to wait until the hatch is | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
opened, and he begins hiss mission in space. We had expected to see | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
pictures of the moment they docked with the space station, we didn't | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
get those. It was a pretty nerve-wracking approach, wasn't it. | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
Well docking is supposed to be completely -- completely automatic | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
but as it approached it was clear that the automated process failed. | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
Something, it seems had gone wrong with the guidance radar so the | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
commander Yuri Malenchenko took manual control. Now, although it was | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
a little tense, they are all prepared for manual docking, and as | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
you know it ended successfully, there were champagne corks popping | :06:32. | :06:33. | |
here, what happens next, what we are waiting for is that hatch to open, | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
and for Tim Peake to glide through, and become the first British | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
astronaut to serve onboard the International Space Station. And the | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
UK Space Agency hope he will be the first of many Britons that will | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
serve on the space station and perhaps even explore the moon. | :06:52. | :06:53. | |
Thank you. Well, Tim Peake has a very busy six | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
months ahead of him. While in orbit he will be conducting | :06:58. | :06:59. | |
experiments and working on projects designed to draw more young | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
people into science. Here's our science | :07:03. | :07:04. | |
editor, David Shukman. Wild commitment at the sign museum | :07:05. | :07:15. | |
in London during the launch. 3,000 children caught up in exactly the | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
kind of enthusiasm that taec wants to inspire. -- Tim Peake. Watching | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
closely the first Briton to go into space Helen Sharman. Tim is going | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
through pretty much what I went through, I did it 24 years ago, and | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
Tim is really going through that now. It brings back the memories, | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
actually. For the next sixth months this will be Tim Peake's home, in | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
Orr bits where everything feels weightless which makes life onboard | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
unusual. So, you can't wash your hair in the normal way. You use dry | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
shampoo. A great sleeping bag. There are no bedroom, you zip yourself | :07:54. | :08:01. | |
into a pod. That is good core. You have to exercise for two hours a day | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
to avoid your muscles wasting away. So it will be a strange existence on | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
the space space, and will take some geding used to. It is the largest | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
structure assembled in space. It is about the size of a football pitch. | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
Where is it? It is about 250 miles above us, that might not sound much, | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
but it is beyond the atmosphere and definitely in the hostile | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
environment of space. This outpost of humanity is travelling round | :08:30. | :08:35. | |
earth at 17,500 miles an hour, an extraordinary speed. Because each | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
circuit round the earth takes 90 minute, the crew can see at least 15 | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
sun rises an sunsets every single day. | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
Now, the space station was built section by section over the last 15 | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
years an one module is European. Here it is. It is called Columbus. | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
It is a laboratory where Tim Peake will spend much of his time. So let | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
us imagine that we could be right inside it. It is cramped. Filled | :09:01. | :09:07. | |
with experiments that make use of those weightless. One project looks | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
at metal alloys to help work out how they can be improved for the | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
electronic devices we use. Another is testing, if bacteria can survive | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
in space, to see if they could be living on Mars. And there is a study | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
into house fluids behave inside the brain. That could help with faster | :09:25. | :09:30. | |
diagnosis of medical problems. This is going to go in your ear. | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
Here they are testing a new system for measures pressure inside the | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
brain and they are looking or ward to what Tim Peake finds out. | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
For decades the Government never wanted to pay for British | :09:44. | :09:45. | |
astronauts. Now Tim Peake is the first to have official backing. And | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
there is huge interest in investigating the potential for | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
longer missions. I think the most exciting thing is of course we want | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
to build bases on the moon and Mars, hopefully in my lifetime and beyond. | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
So the way that space impacts the human body over six month, 12 months | :10:04. | :10:09. | |
that is what he is focussing on. From now until next June Tim Peake | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
will be living away from earth. At the same time encouraging the next | :10:14. | :10:19. | |
generation to become scientists, engineers, and maybe astronauts as | :10:20. | :10:20. | |
well. Millions of people will have stopped | :10:21. | :10:22. | |
this morning to watch Tim Peake People gathered at the Science | :10:23. | :10:25. | |
museum in London and also at a school in Sussex, | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
in the village where Duncan Kennedy was with the school | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
children watching lift off. Yes, they are all back tonight, here | :10:34. | :10:45. | |
in the village hall, to witness Tim Peake here dock with the spacecraft | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
and eventually to see him crawl inside the space station, just as | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
they were all here this morning to witness that incredible take off, | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
and I do mean all. It seems like the entire village and all the people | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
from his former school here turned out to witness this event. To see | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
one of their own finally make it into space. | :11:07. | :11:14. | |
If you could bottle pride, this is what it would look like, when the | :11:15. | :11:23. | |
cork is popped. These are Peake's people. Brimming | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
with joy for Tim Peake. The local boy who became a spaceman. | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
What did you think of that take off? It was brilliant. I can't believe | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
someone from West Brom Primary School is going up in space to the | :11:38. | :11:40. | |
national space station. -- west born. Are you proud of him? Yes. | :11:41. | :11:47. | |
Really cool that somebody who is used to come to our school is | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
actually going up into space and to see the space station. You going to | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
be an astronaut? Maybe. You could be. Yes. Tim was. Yes, He went to | :11:57. | :12:02. | |
this school. It could be you. Any time. 20 years' time. | :12:03. | :12:08. | |
You can tell just how proud they are here at west born primary by the | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
size of the arrow on his school photo. Who knew then what this | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
little boy would become. Certainly not his school best friends The | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
whole village was buzzing. It is the biggest thing that has happened to | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
west born since I was born to be fair. Proud. My heart is pumping | :12:26. | :12:31. | |
really. 3, 2, 1. There was another countdown at his old school today. | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
This time, in a gravity experiment. Another sign he is an inspiration to | :12:37. | :12:42. | |
his successors. Before he took off, Tim even sent a personal message to | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
everyone here. Thank you so much. Have a great tale and the next time | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
I talk to you will be from up there. -- great day. Today, although this | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
wave from Tim may have been to the world, here, they saw it as a | :12:56. | :13:02. | |
gesture to the place it all began. A small village in Hampshire, whose | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
star pupil is now circling the world. | :13:07. | :13:13. | |
More than 1,000 schools in the city of Los Angeles have been closed | :13:14. | :13:16. | |
The announcement affects nearly 700,000 pupils. | :13:17. | :13:18. | |
The alert comes two weeks after 14 people were killed by a radicalised | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
Muslim couple in nearby San Bernardino. | :13:22. | :13:23. | |
Our correspondent David Willis is in Los Angeles | :13:24. | :13:32. | |
Across this sprawling city, school buses were left idle and city | :13:33. | :13:39. | |
schools closed, after a threat was received at five o'clock in the | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
morning. Prompting officials to shut down more than 1,000 schools. | :13:44. | :13:52. | |
We need the cooperation of the whole of Los Angeles today. We need | :13:53. | :13:59. | |
families and neighbours to work together with our schools and with | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
our employees. To make sure our kids are safe. The Los Angeles unified | :14:05. | :14:10. | |
school districts an area of more than 700 square miles and accounts | :14:11. | :14:16. | |
for some 6440,000 students. Teachers and other staff were also told to | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
stay at home. Schools here are closed today, and | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
maybe for longer, depending on how long it takes to search every single | :14:27. | :14:32. | |
city run school in the second largest city in America. | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
At every school here, packages and backpacks are to be searched. The | :14:38. | :14:44. | |
circumstances in the neighbouring San Bernadino, I think what has | :14:45. | :14:53. | |
happened in the nation, I think what happened initially, I am not going | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
to take the chance with the life of a student. | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
Officials in New York say they received a similar threat but deem | :15:03. | :15:05. | |
it a hoax. Here in the light of recent events nobody is taking | :15:06. | :15:06. | |
anything for granted. Tim Peake has become the first | :15:07. | :15:13. | |
British astronaut in space In the last hour, his Soyuz space | :15:14. | :15:16. | |
capsule safely docked at the International Space Station | :15:17. | :15:21. | |
after a nerve-wracking approach. The main teaching union says it's | :15:22. | :15:31. | |
confident there will be a deal with the Government on the return | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
of national testing. As engineers work on fixing | :15:36. | :15:42. | |
the Forth Road Bridge for its replacement, | :15:43. | :15:44. | |
it's work in progress. The birth rate in England is rising | :15:45. | :15:52. | |
so rapidly that almost a million places for secondary school pupils | :15:53. | :15:55. | |
will have to be created over Councils are considering creating | :15:56. | :15:58. | |
super-sized schools that take up to 3,000 pupils to accommodate | :15:59. | :16:01. | |
the growing demand. Primary schools will also need | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
to expand, as our education editor, At the heart of its community | :16:06. | :16:08. | |
for more than a century, Edmund Waller Primary | :16:09. | :16:22. | |
could double in size. A baby boom has created | :16:23. | :16:23. | |
a demand for more school Parents told me they fear something | :16:24. | :16:26. | |
really special would be lost. We lose a lot of the community | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
sense of the school, a lot of the parental | :16:31. | :16:32. | |
involvement that is so key. The relationships | :16:33. | :16:34. | |
with teachers, I think. Is it going to get really | :16:35. | :16:36. | |
competitive, aged eight, to be in the football team, | :16:37. | :16:38. | |
if you've got four classes? And that's not what | :16:39. | :16:41. | |
primary's about, is it? It's a big step going to school | :16:42. | :16:43. | |
aged four, you know, and if you're going into | :16:44. | :16:47. | |
a playground with 1,000 What happens here isn't yet decided, | :16:48. | :16:50. | |
but school sizes are booming and with them, the debate | :16:51. | :16:58. | |
about what that means for children. You're going to read | :16:59. | :17:00. | |
through each chapter extract. These year sevens are at one | :17:01. | :17:04. | |
of England's biggest schools, More on this scale are planned | :17:05. | :17:07. | |
by several councils. Finding your way is a challenge, | :17:08. | :17:15. | |
but pupils thought parents I was like, dad, | :17:16. | :17:17. | |
don't worry about it. It might be a big school, | :17:18. | :17:25. | |
but I'll make friends and we'll be So you learn to find | :17:26. | :17:28. | |
your way through. When you see the whole | :17:29. | :17:36. | |
school you're like - you never expect this many people | :17:37. | :17:38. | |
to be in one school at once. Really, year seven, you're | :17:39. | :17:42. | |
old enough to realise your way around and realise | :17:43. | :17:44. | |
what you've got to do. And that includes navigating | :17:45. | :17:46. | |
the mega queue at lunch. When this school opened in 1964, | :17:47. | :17:55. | |
with 1,500 pupils, it was one Now, there are more than 2,500 and, | :17:56. | :17:58. | |

is a reflection of the school size, from hairdressing to | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
three modern languages. There's not much evidence school | :18:12. | :18:13. | |
size makes academic results any worse, but how do you create | :18:14. | :18:20. | |
a community with good discipline? Through a very strong pastoral | :18:21. | :18:25. | |
system, having very, very clear expectations | :18:26. | :18:28. | |
about our standards and what we'll accept and what we won't accept, | :18:29. | :18:31. | |
and through working with youngsters through the pastoral care system | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
to ensure that they understand. More super-sized schools | :18:36. | :18:37. | |
are on the horizon, but some parents A Metropolitan Police firearms | :18:38. | :18:41. | |

has said it has paid ?8 million in corporation tax in | :19:27. | :19:53. | |
the last year off the back Pre-tax profits jumped | :19:54. | :19:56. | |
to just over ?34 million compared with less than ?2 | :19:57. | :20:15. | |
million a year ago. The company said in 2012 it | :20:16. | :20:17. | |
would pay significantly more in tax after a public outcry at how little | :20:18. | :20:20. | |
it had paid in fourteen The rate of inflation turned | :20:21. | :20:22. | |
positive in November for the first But it remains close to zero, | :20:23. | :20:26. | |
at 0.1% with low oil prices and competition between supermarkets | :20:27. | :20:30. | |
keeping prices down for consumers. Our economics correspondent, | :20:31. | :20:32. | |
Andy Verity, reports. It's not just fuel that's getting | :20:33. | :20:34. | |
cheaper before Christmas, Second hand car prices are 4.6% | :20:35. | :20:36. | |
lower than they were a year ago. To these buyers that means | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
they're getting a bargain. There's better much | :20:41. | :20:43. | |
better value now. The reason car prices are coming | :20:44. | :20:50. | |
down is the same reason that the price of most goods has | :20:51. | :20:52. | |
been coming down right through the past year, | :20:53. | :20:55. | |
plentiful supply of the products In other words, fewer buyers buying | :20:56. | :20:57. | |
the products which means the buyers have the upper hand and they can | :20:58. | :21:01. | |
pull the prices down. While second hand car | :21:02. | :21:04. | |
and fuel prices fell, it was by less than | :21:05. | :21:06. | |
the previous month. One reason the cost of living | :21:07. | :21:08. | |
overall ticked up by 0.1%. Break that down and goods prices | :21:09. | :21:10. | |
fell by an average of 1.9%, while the price of | :21:11. | :21:13. | |
services rose by 2.4%. Earlier this year, the Bank | :21:14. | :21:15. | |
of England governor, Mark Carney, was confident prices | :21:16. | :21:17. | |
would be rising much faster than now and it would be clear | :21:18. | :21:20. | |
when to raise interest rates. We expect inflation to be very low | :21:21. | :21:22. | |
for the next several months, but over the course of the year, | :21:23. | :21:25. | |
as we get towards the end, inflation should start to pick up | :21:26. | :21:28. | |
towards our 2% target. But that was before the slowdown | :21:29. | :21:31. | |
in economies like Brazil or China, which meant less demand worldwide | :21:32. | :21:34. | |
for goods from fuel to steel and, For the next few months, at least, | :21:35. | :21:36. | |
a rise in interest rates by the Bank of England's Monetary Policy | :21:37. | :21:42. | |
Committee looks unlikely. I don't think the MPC is going to be | :21:43. | :21:44. | |
in any hurry to follow the US in raising interest | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
rates very quickly. We think that they'll probably wait | :21:49. | :21:50. | |
until the middle of next year and, even then, interest rates | :21:51. | :21:53. | |
here are going to rise That puts us on a different economic | :21:54. | :21:56. | |
path to the United States where today the latest data | :21:57. | :22:00. | |
showed inflation of 0.5%. Tomorrow, the US Central Bank | :22:01. | :22:02. | |
is widely expected to announce a rise in interest rates, | :22:03. | :22:05. | |
the first in nine years. It's probably the most hotly | :22:06. | :22:07. | |
anticipated film of this century. And last night, the latest Star Wars | :22:08. | :22:21. | |
- the Force Awakens - had its world premiere | :22:22. | :22:24. | |
in Los Angeles. Disney has paid more than $4 billion | :22:25. | :22:26. | |
for the film rights. So will the film's global power | :22:27. | :22:28. | |
prove to be a price worth paying? Our entertainment correspondent, | :22:29. | :22:32. | |
Lizo Mzimba, reports. John Boyega, one of the film's | :22:33. | :22:35. | |
young British leads, reunited with Mark Hamill | :22:36. | :22:43. | |
who reprises his role as Luke The recreation or simply the return | :22:44. | :22:45. | |
of much-loved figures a key selling point for the movie, | :22:46. | :22:55. | |
the first in more than 30 years to feature the main actors | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
from the original trilogy. How do you feel at the fact that now | :23:00. | :23:03. | |
so many fans are going to get to see how your character, how the saga | :23:04. | :23:07. | |
continues for something people have That's the idea, is to continue | :23:08. | :23:10. | |
to build on the stories that Is this the day you've been waiting | :23:11. | :23:15. | |
for when it finally goes out then, No, because then I think | :23:16. | :23:23. | |
I would have wished away It's very exciting | :23:24. | :23:26. | |
for it to be here now. Disney paid George Lucas more | :23:27. | :23:30. | |
than $4 billion for the rights to the series along with other | :23:31. | :23:39. | |
Lucasfilm properties. Thanks to one of the biggest deals | :23:40. | :23:41. | |
in Hollywood history, they now plan top | :23:42. | :23:46. | |
release a movie a year. It was exciting, there | :23:47. | :23:51. | |
were lots of surprises. Even if box office takings | :23:52. | :24:12. | |
and merchandise sales don't reach hoped for levels, it's | :24:13. | :24:16. | |
all still good news The current plan is to make | :24:17. | :24:17. | |
all the films at Pinewood in Buckinghamshire, a commitment | :24:18. | :24:23. | |
worth tens of millions of pounds. The whole picture may not be clear | :24:24. | :24:30. | |
for another few years because Disney needs not just this one, | :24:31. | :24:34. | |
but each of the new forthcoming movies to keep delivering | :24:35. | :24:37. | |
huge audiences. In those films, the characters face | :24:38. | :24:39. | |
monumental struggles and battles. With their multi-billion dollar | :24:40. | :24:47. | |
investment, in financial terms, for Disney the stakes | :24:48. | :24:49. | |
are almost as high. Not far until Christmas Day. It is | :24:50. | :25:04. | |
still so mild? Crazy. We might break records over the next few days. | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
Mild, mucky. A lot of mist and murk over the last few days. That will | :25:10. | :25:12. | |
continue I think generally in the outlook period. For some it's still | :25:13. | :25:18. | |
a winter wonder land. This is Dallas, Dallas in Scotland, not | :25:19. | :25:21. | |
Texas. Even here the snow welcome back thawing away as the warm air | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
moves up from the south-west. How warm will it get? Into the mid teens | :25:27. | :25:36. | |
by day, four to six degrees above what it should be for this time of | :25:37. | :25:41. | |
year. Rain around this evening, heading northwards and eastwards. | :25:42. | :25:45. | |
Heavy rain to Wales with gusty winds. That will move into the | :25:46. | :25:51. | |
Midland and England. The worst of the overnight rain will have eased | :25:52. | :25:55. | |
away by morning time. A dull, murky start to the day. Look at the | :25:56. | :26:03. | |
temperatures. 8.00am, 13 or 14 degrees widely. Northern Ireland and | :26:04. | :26:08. | |
Scotland dryer. As the thaw sets in across the highlands and the | :26:09. | :26:13. | |
Grampians we will see mist and fog developing, I think. Through the day | :26:14. | :26:18. | |
I'm hopeful we will see break developing in the cloud cover. Some | :26:19. | :26:21. | |
places will see watery sunshine at times. Although there will be | :26:22. | :26:27. | |
drizzly bits towards western exposure a lot of drooi weather. | :26:28. | :26:34. | |
Where there is sunshine temperatures rising to 15-16 degrees. Milder than | :26:35. | :26:38. | |
it has been across Scotland. Another weather front will come in from the | :26:39. | :26:43. | |
west tomorrow evening into Thursday. We will see persistent rain for the | :26:44. | :26:48. | |
likes of Cumbria and given the state of the catchments here we will keep | :26:49. | :26:53. | |
a close eye. Warnings are in force. Rain heading in from the west to the | :26:54. | :26:58. | |
south and east despite a gusty wind exceptionally mild. All the latest | :26:59. | :27:03. | |
on weather warnings of course can be found on the BBC weather website | :27:04. | :27:07. | |
much we will keep an eye on the forecast and those temperatures over | :27:08. | :27:08. | |
the next few days. Thank you. Now, before we go, | :27:09. | :27:24. | |
more on our top story. Well, in a moment we join the BBC's | :27:25. | :27:31. | |
news teams where you are, but I'll leave you with | :27:32. | :27:34. | |
images of the day - the moment the British astronaut, | :27:35. | :27:36. | |
Tim Peake, launched into space. 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Lift off | :27:37. | :28:03. | |
with Tim Koprast Yuri Malenchenko and Tim Peake on their way to the | :28:04. | :28:11. | |
International Space Station. CHEERING It makes me think I want to | :28:12. | :28:22. | |
go to space when I grow up. | :28:23. | :28:29. |
