Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six. | :01:31. | :01:32. | |
A young mother has become the first British woman to be convicted | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
of travelling to Syria to join the so-called Islamic State group. | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
26-year-old Tareena Shakil - a former health worker - | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
ran away with her toddler in October 2014. | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
She was arrested when she returned to the UK four months later. | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
The jury at Birmingham crown court also found her guilty of encouraging | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
Our correspondent Sian Lloyd is in Birmingham. | :01:54. | :02:04. | |
Sophie, much of this trial revolved around whether Tareena Shakil had | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
joined the so-called Islamic State terror group, a very serious charge. | :02:11. | :02:18. | |
The jury was told to think about membership not in terms of belonging | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
to a library or gym but rather she had gone to be with IS knowing its | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
aims and to associate with like-minded people. It took the jury | :02:27. | :02:28. | |
to and. -- two and days to decide. Tareena Shakil, a British mother | :02:29. | :02:37. | |
convicted today of being a member the banned terror group notorious | :02:38. | :02:39. | |
for its violence and brutality. She took her toddler | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
son to Raqqa in Syria, The court was shown this picture, | :02:43. | :02:44. | |
her child playing next to a gun. She dressed him in | :02:45. | :02:51. | |
IS clothing and wore She urged others | :02:52. | :02:53. | |
to join her in Syria, They have found her guilty | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
of being a member of IS, At the moment, she should be treated | :02:59. | :03:05. | |
as a dangerous individual. Tareena Shakil was arrested | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
the moment she arrived back When interviewed, | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
she lied, telling police she was kidnapped by a man | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
she met on holiday in Turkey. It was never my intention | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
to enter into Syria. I happened to meet a young | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
Turkish man. I liked him and we developed | :03:31. | :03:37. | |
somewhat of a relationship. This image shows the former health | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
worker at East Midlands airport. The journey was planned not | :03:43. | :03:49. | |
as a holiday, but her route Tareena Shakil became increasingly | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
interested in extremist material, But she went further and began | :03:53. | :04:01. | |
encouraging those on social media Tareena Shakil told the court | :04:02. | :04:09. | |
she went to Syria only to live under the rule of Sharia Law, | :04:10. | :04:16. | |
and denied joining IS. She said she had made a mistake | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
and wanted to come home, describing her escape in a taxi | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
as she made for the Turkish border, his bag, his blanket, | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
and I just ran. The jury was unanimous in finding | :04:28. | :04:45. | |
Tareena Shakil guilty. There's been a big surge | :04:46. | :04:54. | |
in the number of people going to Accident and | :04:55. | :05:05. | |
Emergency in England. Figures show more than 330,000 | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
people attended A last week. That's up 8% on the | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
same time last year. 45 A units were shut down | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
temporarily for a few hours The NHS says it doesn't expect | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
the pressure to ease. At this A department in Birmingham | :05:21. | :05:41. | |
last week, with a constant flow of people arriving in ambulances or on | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
foot and staff dealing with unprecedented numbers of patients. | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
The man through this winter has been the highest we have ever seen in | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
this hospital. We have seen an average of 290 patients per day, | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
which is the highest we have ever seen. NHS England said staff at | :05:57. | :06:03. | |
every hospital were providing a high-quality service but the | :06:04. | :06:05. | |
pressures remained very real and they weren't expected to ease any | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
time soon. Calls to the 111 helpline were up 30% in some areas | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
year-on-year. The weather hasn't been especially bad the winter, | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
nothing out of the ordinary in terms of flu or Nora virus, and that | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
leaves hospital struggling to explain why there has been this | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
surge in patient numbers. Examples of the NHS under pressure included | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
hospital bosses in Leicester considering a temporary treatment | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
area in a tent, routine operations cancelled in Cornwall and | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
commentary, Portsmouth hospitals saying they had exceptional numbers | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
of frail patients and North London GPs were told there was a challenge | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
to safe operating at two local hospitals. Those GPs were e-mailed, | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
asking them to refer patients elsewhere if possible. One of them | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
told me they were doing all they could to care for patients without | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
sending them to hospitals. We can definitely manage that here, before | :07:04. | :07:05. | |
they might need to be sent to hospital but only if we have the | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
manpower and at the moment, the only manpower we have is to make sure we | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
meet the everyday demand. It is a similar story around the UK. The | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
Welsh Government said it had seen a sharp rise in the number of people | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
seeking treatment this week. Scotland's hospitals reported | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
increased pressures, though some improvement on last year. | :07:27. | :07:28. | |
The Prime Minister says there's still a long way to go | :07:29. | :07:30. | |
in his negotiations with the EU over the issue of welfare | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
He's hoping to reach an agreement ahead of the in-out referendum. | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
president, Jean-Claude Juncker, who is thought to be suggesting | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
a plan which would allow member states to stop in-work benefits | :07:43. | :07:44. | |
for EU migrants for up to four years. | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
The Prime Minister insists some progress is being made. | :07:48. | :07:54. | |
There is still a long way to go, but one instance of progress is that | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
for a long time I have said we have got to have a system | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
where you will not get benefits out of the system until you pay in. | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
We want to end the idea of something for nothing. | :08:05. | :08:06. | |
It needs work but we are making progress. | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
Our Political Correspondent Ben Wright is in Brussels. | :08:13. | :08:19. | |
There is an important EU summit coming up next month, what is your | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
assessment of where these negotiations are going? Well, the | :08:24. | :08:29. | |
issue of welfare migration is the most contentious part of David | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
Cameron's renegotiation. He wants to stop EU workers getting in work | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
benefits like tax credits until they have lived in the UK for four years. | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
Legally, it is difficult stuff. The commission says that if any country | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
in the EU feels its welfare system is under huge strain, it can ask for | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
benefit payments to be suspended provided other EU leaders agree. | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
David Cameron clearly has issues with this, as you just heard, and he | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
needs a deal that he can convincingly take back to Britain, | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
to his own party, and argue will do something to reduce the number of EU | :09:04. | :09:10. | |
workers coming to the UK. There is a sense here in Brussels of his really | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
goes -- renegotiation meeting something of a finale, because of | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
the key summit in three weeks, but today showed how much there is to do | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
in very little time to get a deal and it is clear Downing Street will | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
not accept just anything that is put on the table. Thank you. | :09:24. | :09:25. | |
who kept his daughter as a slave in south London for 30 years | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
Aravindan Balakrishnan, who's now 75, managed to brainwash | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
cult members into thinking he had God-like powers - | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
while subjecting them to years of abuse. | :09:39. | :09:41. | |
From Southwark Crown Court, here's Tom Symonds. | :09:42. | :09:49. | |
Behind closed doors and windows, Aravindan Balakrishnan presided over | :09:50. | :09:56. | |
his bizarre personal cult. For more than 30 years, far longer than his | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
23 year sentence today. Some of his followers remained loyal to the end | :10:02. | :10:07. | |
but three accused him. And filmed here, before he was convicted, | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
Balakrishnan has never shown any remorse. The judge, Mrs Justice | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
Taylor, described him as a largely housebound demagogue and dictator | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
and of the women she lived with -- he lived with, she said... | :10:21. | :10:29. | |
She said Balakrishnan repeatedly raped two members of his group, | :10:30. | :10:37. | |
simply to exercise his power over them and she said that he treated | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
his daughter like an experiment, depriving her of love, friendship, | :10:42. | :10:43. | |
the childhood. The decades, she depriving her of love, friendship, | :10:44. | :10:51. | |
hidden away, but no more, because this is Katy Morgan-Davies. In her | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
new life, she has waived her right to anonymity to talk about her | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
strange upbringing. Well, I hated the violence in the place and the | :11:03. | :11:09. | |
sense of... Of being controlled. She and two other women finally left the | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
cold in this flat after calling a helpline shown on the BBC News at | :11:15. | :11:20. | |
six -- left the cult. When I first came out, I wasn't really able to | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
make my way around at all, I had no idea how to even do the simplest | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
things, take public transport or anything. I remember having | :11:28. | :11:33. | |
headaches, there was so much information, just can't take it in, | :11:34. | :11:39. | |
too much choice. It is too big. Just get lost everywhere. But she is | :11:40. | :11:45. | |
delighted to be free. Outside court, Aravindan Balakrishnan's wife and | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
another member of the cult claimed he had been framed. For them, even | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
after his conviction, his influence lives on. | :11:54. | :11:55. | |
The Royal Navy's state-of-the-art Destroyers - | :11:56. | :11:57. | |
described as the most advanced of their kind - | :11:58. | :11:59. | |
The Type 45 came into service three years ago at a price tag | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
But all six of the Navy's fleet already need a major refit | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
because of problems with their engines. | :12:09. | :12:10. | |
Our Defence Correspondent Jonathan Beale has the story. | :12:11. | :12:21. | |
It's billed as one of the most advanced air warships | :12:22. | :12:24. | |
The Royal Navy's Type 45 destroyer, fitted with sophisticated radar and | :12:25. | :12:34. | |
missiles, each ship costing more than ?1 billion. But it has one big | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
problem which the Navy has tried to keep quiet. The BBC was sent this | :12:39. | :12:40. | |
e-mail from a serving officer. A few years ago, I joined HMS | :12:41. | :13:04. | |
dauntless on her first voyage to the south Atlantic. The Navy were keen | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
to highlight their ability to track and fire at multiple targets from | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
this control room. They could even track an object the size of say, a | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
tennis ball, travelling at more than twice the speed of sound. But what | :13:18. | :13:23. | |
we can't show was what happened when the power suddenly went out. | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
Everything shut down and it has been a worrying recurring problem that | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
has alarmed former senior officers. What is catastrophic is if while you | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
are on-task, you have an incident where you suddenly lose all power. | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
If you are actually involved in action, that can mean the death your | :13:42. | :13:47. | |
ship. When you are not in action, it is just very, very in Barra Singh | :13:48. | :13:50. | |
and makes people think, what on earth has become of the Royal Navy? | :13:51. | :13:57. | |
-- embarrassing. The problem is deep in the bowels of the ship. | :13:58. | :14:11. | |
It could cost tens of millions of pounds to fix. After decades of | :14:12. | :14:18. | |
cuts, the Royal Navy's fleet has shrunk to 19 frigates and | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
destroyers. Now the third of those warships, the newest, will need to | :14:23. | :14:23. | |
be fixed. have been sweeping across | :14:24. | :14:29. | |
large parts of the UK as Storm Gertrude | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
batters the country. Scotland and Northern Ireland | :14:34. | :14:34. | |
have been hardest hit, with thousands of homes left | :14:35. | :14:36. | |
without power, buildings damaged Our Scotland correspondent | :14:37. | :14:38. | |
Lorna Gordon reports. From the small island communities to | :14:39. | :14:52. | |
the big cities, this was a storm that caused damage and disruption | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
right across Scotland. Coming in from the Atlantic in the early | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
hours, the country work up to high seas and stormy weather, bad even | :15:03. | :15:07. | |
for this time of year. This storm has packed a double whammy of high | :15:08. | :15:12. | |
winds and squalling rain. What has made it so disruptive is the timing, | :15:13. | :15:17. | |
with the worst of the weather sweeping across Scotland, as people | :15:18. | :15:21. | |
were heading to work. Berries and train services work cancelled, major | :15:22. | :15:28. | |
bridges and roads closed. On some roads, downed trees made driving | :15:29. | :15:33. | |
difficult. Sometimes even walking was a challenge, such was the power | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
of the storm. My train was cancelled and the next one was delayed. I'm | :15:38. | :15:43. | |
waiting on a taxi now. It has taken me almost twice as long as it | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
normally would. It has not been ideal. Around 100 schools were shut | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
for the day, this one in Edinburgh left badly damaged by the wind, | :15:53. | :15:55. | |
which also left thousands of homes without power. We have had some | :15:56. | :16:01. | |
lightning in the area which poses a safety problem for our engineers. | :16:02. | :16:08. | |
They monitored the conditions very carefully if customers are affected. | :16:09. | :16:10. | |
We will be restoring supplies as quickly as possible. While wind | :16:11. | :16:16. | |
speeds in Shetland toppled 100 miles an hour, conditions across the | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
country are easing. There is a warning, more stormy weather is on | :16:21. | :16:21. | |
the way. A 26-year-old from Birmingham has | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
become become the first British woman to be convicted of joining | :16:27. | :16:29. | |
so-called Islamic State. Now, I'm looking after two kilograms | :16:30. | :16:32. | |

skiers are heading for the abs and dominated the Team GB line-up at the | :17:01. | :17:02. | |
special Olympics. It's been driven by the Queen, | :17:03. | :17:07. | |
Churchill and even James Bond, but today production of one | :17:08. | :17:10. | |
of the most iconic vehicles has come This morning, the last | :17:11. | :17:13. | |
Land Rover Defender rolled off the production line in the West | :17:14. | :17:17. | |
Midlands. The company decided to replace | :17:18. | :17:19. | |
the model because of tighter laws Our transport correspondent, | :17:20. | :17:22. | |
Richard Westcott, reports. People use the word "icon" a lot | :17:23. | :17:30. | |
but, in this case, it fits. It is quite possibly | :17:31. | :17:33. | |
the most recognisable car After seven decades, | :17:34. | :17:36. | |
it has reached the end of the line. Here it is, the last | :17:37. | :17:42. | |
Land Rover Defender. Very slowly rolling off | :17:43. | :17:45. | |
the production line, half the workforce has | :17:46. | :17:47. | |
turned out to watch. You have been making | :17:48. | :17:49. | |
this for 40 years. You're retiring, along with the car | :17:50. | :17:52. | |
today, how are you feeling? Whenever you put the television on, | :17:53. | :17:54. | |
you see this vehicle all over It was designed to get | :17:55. | :18:02. | |
Britain's farmers back on their feet | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
again after the war. Forget looks or speed, | :18:08. | :18:10. | |
it is almost impossible They built more than 2 million | :18:11. | :18:13. | |
Land Rovers and they reckon around 70% of them are still | :18:14. | :18:21. | |
driving around today. This is the same car | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
when it was brand-new back in 1949. It is on a family fun | :18:26. | :18:36. | |
day, a health and So, James, just how crazy do people | :18:37. | :18:38. | |
get about these cars? People get completely | :18:39. | :18:47. | |
obsessed by them. They buy an early one, | :18:48. | :18:49. | |
maybe for a pile of parts more than anything else, | :18:50. | :18:52. | |
and they will then spend an absolute fortune trying to get it back | :18:53. | :18:55. | |
to the condition it was in when it And it takes them years | :18:56. | :18:59. | |
but they love it. The car has become as famously | :19:00. | :19:04. | |
British as some of its drivers. In the end, this old body can't keep | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
pace with modern safety and pollution laws, and tastes have | :19:09. | :19:12. | |
changed as more people In a few years, they will call | :19:13. | :19:16. | |
another model, Defender, but it will be a totally | :19:17. | :19:25. | |
different car. It is the start of the next chapter, | :19:26. | :19:30. | |
a next generation, of Defender. Incredibly proud of what | :19:31. | :19:38. | |
the vehicle has done. For workers on the line, | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
it is time to say goodbye. There's been a cyber attack | :19:44. | :19:54. | |

attack and there was only a partial service | :20:40. | :20:39. | |
attack and there was only a partial want to pay tax bills | :20:40. | :20:55. | |
attack and there was only a partial night. One thing HSBC has said is | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
attack and there was only a partial that no one's money | :21:01. | :21:00. | |
attack and there was only a partial been put at risk. It is not an | :21:01. | :21:04. | |
attack which gets right into the bank like that. They have been | :21:05. | :21:06. | |
working with the police and a national agency that does cyber | :21:07. | :21:09. | |
crime to try to track down the perpetrators. | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
Some elderly and disabled people still don't receive sufficient care | :21:14. | :21:15. | |
at home because visits by care workers are limited | :21:16. | :21:17. | |
A report by the union Unison found that many home care workers say | :21:18. | :21:21. | |
they don't have enough time to provide the dignified help | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
And dressing. David with everything, | :21:27. | :21:55. | |
to provide this amount of support for people who are older | :21:56. | :21:59. | |
and disabled in just 15 minutes. | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
With the amount of tasks these girls do, there is... | :22:05. | :22:07. | |
It is near impossible to get any kind of proper care done | :22:08. | :22:15. | |
More than 1100 front-line care workers responded to the Unison | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
58% say they have had to deliver personal care to people in that | :22:21. | :22:27. | |
time, a similar number have had to do that for people they have | :22:28. | :22:31. | |
never met before, and 74% say they do not have enough time | :22:32. | :22:37. | |
Vickie Jones now works for a firm that only does longer visits. | :22:38. | :22:44. | |
She had had enough of hectic 15 minute slots in a previous job. | :22:45. | :22:50. | |
If you are not given the time to truly care for someone, | :22:51. | :22:52. | |
it is demoralising for the client themselves, demoralising for us, | :22:53. | :22:57. | |
because you come away from a job going, "Why am I doing this?" | :22:58. | :23:01. | |
Official guidance, which came out last September while research | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
for the report was being done, says this is should be at least half | :23:07. | :23:11. | |
For instance, prompt someone to take their medicine. | :23:12. | :23:20. | |
Councils who buy most home care say wider use of short visits is a sign | :23:21. | :23:23. | |
We have a growing elderly population. | :23:24. | :23:26. | |
This is costing more and yet we are having reducing budgets | :23:27. | :23:29. | |
The Government says councils will have access to an extra | :23:30. | :23:36. | |
?3.5 billion a year for social care by 2020. | :23:37. | :23:41. | |
It also says rushed visits are unacceptable. | :23:42. | :23:48. | |
The British astronaut, Tim Peake, wants school children to help him | :23:49. | :23:50. | |
in one of his scientific experiments. | :23:51. | :23:53. | |
He's asking them to plant seeds of rocket leaves that have | :23:54. | :23:56. | |
Their growth will be compared with normal plants to help | :23:57. | :24:00. | |
researchers develop new varieties of crops that could eventually be | :24:01. | :24:03. | |
grown for food during long space missions. | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
This report from our Science Correspondent, | :24:08. | :24:08. | |
Ever since Tim Peake blasted off, his adventures in space | :24:09. | :24:15. | |
Now, from the space station, he is doing it again. | :24:16. | :24:21. | |
We are going to get a packet of these space seeds. | :24:22. | :24:25. | |
When Tim Peake comes back down to earth, we're going to do some | :24:26. | :24:28. | |
He is asking schoolchildren to help him with one | :24:29. | :24:33. | |
I am looking after two kilograms of very special | :24:34. | :24:39. | |
space seeds, which is ready for our special | :24:40. | :24:41. | |
Now these seeds have been on the International Space Station, | :24:42. | :24:47. | |
I will be packing them up at the end of their mission, | :24:48. | :24:49. | |
When they arrive, they will be sent out to thousands | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
of schools to grow alongside the seeds that have not been up | :24:54. | :24:56. | |
here in space, as part of our special | :24:57. | :24:57. | |
Once they plant the rocket seeds, instead of the stem going up, | :24:58. | :25:07. | |
the stem will go down and the roots will come up instead. | :25:08. | :25:10. | |
I have watched virtually every broadcast he has done and I'm really | :25:11. | :25:17. | |
I think it is incredible that all our | :25:18. | :25:23. | |
schools all over the country will be involved in something so important | :25:24. | :25:26. | |
The pupils at Walton High School in Stafford | :25:27. | :25:29. | |
are among children from 10,000 schools expected to help him | :25:30. | :25:32. | |
The experiment by pupils here could ultimately help | :25:33. | :25:38. | |
scientists develop a crop that scientists could grow | :25:39. | :25:42. | |
In the future, it could enable people to grow their own crops | :25:43. | :25:54. | |
Eating on the space station has never been straightforward. | :25:55. | :25:57. | |
But their freeze-dried food could soon | :25:58. | :25:59. | |
It is really cool seeing the union Jack | :26:00. | :26:03. | |
It has explored all over the world and now it has explored space. | :26:04. | :26:07. | |
Tim's space walk made British schoolchildren realise one day it | :26:08. | :26:10. | |
Even if they don't make it into space, his mission might | :26:11. | :26:14. | |
inspire them to reach for the stars in their own way. | :26:15. | :26:19. | |
And just time to tell you that Andy Murray has reached the final | :26:20. | :26:28. | |
of the Australian Open for a fifth time. | :26:29. | :26:30. | |
He beat the Canadian, Milos Raonic, in five sets | :26:31. | :26:32. | |
He will now meet the world number one - his old rival, | :26:33. | :26:38. | |
Time for a look at the weekend weather. | :26:39. | :26:51. | |
Storm Gertrude has passed? Boy, did she produce some strong winds! The | :26:52. | :26:59. | |
Northern Isles bore the brunt with the strongest winds for 16 years. It | :27:00. | :27:04. | |
was pretty windy with severe gusts across Northern Ireland, Scotland | :27:05. | :27:07. | |
and northern England for a time as well. Gertrude starts to move off | :27:08. | :27:12. | |
into the North Sea but we need to draw your attention down to this | :27:13. | :27:15. | |
rain in the south-west and colder conditions and showers are riding | :27:16. | :27:18. | |
into Scotland and Northern Ireland through the night. We now have an | :27:19. | :27:22. | |
amber warning out for blizzard conditions through the night with | :27:23. | :27:27. | |
gusty winds, significant shows -- snow showers, even hail and thunder. | :27:28. | :27:33. | |
Further south across Wales and southern England, heavy rain | :27:34. | :27:36. | |
drifting its weight is with overnight. About an inch of rain is | :27:37. | :27:42. | |
possible, slowly clearing away across the South east corner. I'd | :27:43. | :27:46. | |
could be an issue as well. Plenty of winter hazards first thing. It will | :27:47. | :27:51. | |
be a cold start to the north with temperatures hovering around | :27:52. | :27:54. | |
freezing. Slightly milder further south with cloud and rain around but | :27:55. | :27:58. | |
idly by 9am, that will have cleared away and we will start to see some | :27:59. | :28:04. | |
sunshine coming through. -- but hopefully. In the North of England | :28:05. | :28:08. | |
it will be chilly and still the risk of some snow showers, even at lower | :28:09. | :28:13. | |
levels in the morning across Northern Ireland and the bulk of | :28:14. | :28:16. | |
Scotland. Certainly you will need to keep watching the weather forecast. | :28:17. | :28:19. | |
Throughout the day it will stay windy. The wintry mix in the | :28:20. | :28:23. | |
afternoon and maybe some wintry showers in northern England and | :28:24. | :28:27. | |
northern Wales. Further south we keep the sunshine and temperatures | :28:28. | :28:32. | |
will recover. It will be a cold today generally tomorrow. Then it is | :28:33. | :28:38. | |
all change as we move into Sunday. Another area of low pressure brings | :28:39. | :28:41. | |
Madiba wetter weather for the second half of the weekend. -- milder but | :28:42. | :28:47. | |
wetter weather. | :28:48. | :28:53. |
