Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
The former England footballer, Adam Johnson, has been found guilty | :00:07. | :00:09. | |
The jury at Bradford Crown Court found him not guilty of one count | :00:10. | :00:16. | |
but the judge said he almost certainly faces a prison sentence. | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
The case relates to a meeting between 28-year-old Johnson | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
Our correspondent Ed Thomas has been following the trial for us and he's | :00:24. | :00:29. | |
As the word guilty was read out in court there was no reaction from | :00:30. | :00:42. | |
Adam Johnson. He just stared straight forward. Earlier he told | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
jurors his life was a boyhood dream and said he had more money than he | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
knew what to do with. He left this place is a convicted child sex | :00:52. | :00:59. | |
attacker. He was a ?10 million England for the dollar. In his own | :01:00. | :01:06. | |
words, Adam Johnson said that he was a rich, arrogant man. Things can | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
easily he said, but one might driven by boredom he was alone with a | :01:12. | :01:18. | |
15-year-old girl. He met the child here in a car park. Sunderland | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
fanatic, she idolised Adam Johnson. Inside his Range Rover to prove she | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
had met a hero, she recorded their meeting. Innocent football talk but | :01:27. | :01:38. | |
what came next was a sexual offence against a child. What happened in | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
his car has turned my life upside down. The statement read by police | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
was written by the 15-year-old victim. I lost all my confidence and | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
my schoolwork has suffered. There are people who have made assumptions | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
about me and this alone has been hard to deal with. I have been | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
unable to defend myself publicly. Adam Johnson knew the schoolgirl | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
adored him, he sent hundreds of messages. In one message she asked, | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
would you go out. She answered I'm not old enough to go out. Adam | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
Johnson replied yes but you look old enough. After the secret meeting he | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
message, that was class, just wanted to get good genes of. It was | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
described in court as classic grooming. When Johnson was arrested | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
detective said that he shook with fear. And consider his employers, | :02:30. | :02:37. | |
Sunderland football club. On May the force of 2016 Adam Johnson was | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
called in for a meeting. In that the court heard he admitted kissing and | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
grooming the child. But his suspension was lifted and he was | :02:44. | :02:52. | |
allowed to play. Again and again the footballer walked out to represent | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
Sunderland. Despite those private confessions, in public, to the fans, | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
Johnson denied he'd grunt and kissed the girl. The court was told every | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
time Adam Johnson went onto the pitch the 15-year-old girl suffered | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
excruciating pain. A year she was called a liar. And at one stage she | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
broke down and told her father she wanted to die. Some supporters feel | :03:18. | :03:26. | |
cheated. At first he did nothing wrong and then just lied to his | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
fans, to everyone. Would you have supported him if you had known what | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
he did. No. Would you wanted them on the pitch was no. You've never | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
apologised to the 15-year-old girl, will you do it now to mark no | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
apologies from Adam Johnson. Outside court or insight. The millionaire | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
footballer who thought that he could do what he wanted. | :03:49. | :03:56. | |
This trial has exposed a darker side to football and there was this | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
intense focus. What Sunderland football club new or did not know | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
the top we had a detailed statement from the club and in it are | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
preferred to be main meeting and say in the meeting Adam Johnson did not | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
indicate that he was going to plead guilty to any of the charges. The | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
statement goes on to say if they had known they would have sacked Adam | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
Johnson on the spot. As for this former footballer, he will be back | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
in court to be sentenced. He has been warned by the judge to expect | :04:24. | :04:24. | |
jail. The busiest day in America's | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
long election trail - so called Super Tuesday - | :04:30. | :04:31. | |
has left Donald Trump for the Republicans and Hilary | :04:32. | :04:33. | |
Clinton for the Democratic Party as the clear front runners to go | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
head to head for the White House Our North American Editor Jon Sopel | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
has been following both candidates The next president | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
of the United States! Campaigning in Ohio, | :04:44. | :04:55. | |
he had the air of a man the elements might throw at him, | :04:56. | :05:10. | |
was going to prevail. So at his victory party | :05:11. | :05:12. | |
last night in Florida, I know people are going to find that | :05:13. | :05:14. | |
a little bit hard to believe, I think we're going | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
to be more unified. I think we're going to be | :05:21. | :05:29. | |
able to unify the party. I hope to be able to get | :05:30. | :05:31. | |
along with everybody. And on some key policies | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
like immigration, he seemed to be But it was the Republican Party | :05:35. | :05:36. | |
leadership he was most notably And yes, his new | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
favourite word again. I would love to see | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
the Republican Party and everybody And when we unify there's nobody, | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
nobody, that is going to beat us. This has been toned down, | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
much more conciliatory Donald Trump at his news conference, | :05:51. | :05:58. | |
stressing that he is a unifier Gone were the sharp | :05:59. | :06:00. | |
attacks on his rivals. It is almost as though | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
he is looking beyond this process to when he is the | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
Republican nominee. This man is arithmetically best | :06:09. | :06:10. | |
place. Senator Ted Cruz won 3 states last | :06:11. | :06:27. | |
night and to the other anti-Trump So long as the field remains | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
divided, Donald Trump's past to the nomination | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
remains more likely. And that would be | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
a disaster for Republicans. For conservatives | :06:42. | :06:43. | |
and for the nation. But after super Tuesday | :06:44. | :06:44. | |
it is washed up Wednesday. And there are no signs whatsoever | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
that any of the other Republicans Which all but guarantees | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
Donald Trump's path. On the Democratic side, | :06:51. | :06:58. | |
Hillary Clinton swept the south and halted the advance | :06:59. | :07:11. | |
of Bernie Sanders. He was an afterthought | :07:12. | :07:18. | |
in her speech. Instead this was about getting | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
Donald Trump and ridiculing his | :07:22. | :07:23. | |
slogan, make America great again. Nothing is settled yet | :07:24. | :07:25. | |
but increasingly it is looking like it will be Clinton versus Trump | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
for the White House. And who would have guessed that | :07:32. | :07:33. | |
scenario a year ago? We can talk to John supple now. What | :07:34. | :07:48. | |
does the success of Donald Trump say about American politics? If you read | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
the financial pages and nothing else you would see the growth rate is up | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
in America, unemployment is down. You talk to Americans and you sense | :07:57. | :08:02. | |
this seething anger that somehow life has got really tough for them. | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
Since the financial crisis things have got harder and the cornerstone | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
of the American dream, social mobility, the idea that anyone can | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
go from humble beginnings to the White House, has come to a halt. | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
Playing into that, brilliantly, has been Donald Trump, the | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
anti-politician politician. Just look at the turnout figures were | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
yesterday, on the Republican side way up, driven by Donald Trump and | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
his candidacy. On the Democratic side labour way down. So what you | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
have is blue-collar America turning in the most unlikely circumstances | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
to billionaire who was born into a wealthy family and the American | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
people putting their hope with him. Because they're so disgusted with | :08:45. | :08:46. | |
Washington politics as a whole. The government has rejected calls | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
for the Meningitis B vaccine to be given to children of all ages - | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
saying it would not More than 800,000 people have | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
now signed a petition calling for the jab - | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
currently given to babies - to be extended to children at least | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
up to the age of 11. David Cameron says the government | :09:03. | :09:15. | |
will continue to look at all the evidence. | :09:16. | :09:15. | |
The European Union has announced an emergency aid programme to help | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
countries in Europe cope with the migrant crisis. | :09:19. | :09:20. | |
The plan will see 700 million euros, normally used for overseas | :09:21. | :09:22. | |
emergencies, spent in countries with a growing number | :09:23. | :09:24. | |
Thousands of asylum seekers remain trapped on the country's | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
The government has set out a new assessment of the dangers it | :09:29. | :09:37. | |
says the UK will face if it leaves the EU. | :09:38. | :09:39. | |
The report gives a range of alternatives to EU membership, | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
and concludes they would all be damaging. | :09:43. | :09:44. | |
The Conservative Cabinet minister, Iain Duncan Smith - | :09:45. | :09:46. | |
who wants Britain to leave the EU - has dismissed it as a "dodgy | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
Our deputy political editor James Landale looks at both sides | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
Just imagine. It is eight o'clock. The headlines. United Kingdom has | :09:54. | :10:10. | |
voted to leave the European Union. What if we wait to headlines like | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
that after the referendum in June, what would it mean for the UK | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
economy? Today the Foreign Secretary set out a series of possible | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
answers. Options that he claimed would cost jobs and push up prices. | :10:24. | :10:29. | |
None of the options that are remotely likely to be deliverable | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
comes close to matching the deal that we already have on the table. | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
While would-be take a leap in the dark? Why would we risk the effect | :10:38. | :10:43. | |
of years of uncertainty on the British economy as a mark in this | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
dossier the government sets out several possible alternatives. If | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
the UK copied Norway it would get significant access to the EU single | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
market had no say over the rules and it would have Depay the EU budget. | :10:57. | :11:02. | |
If it copied Switzerland, the UK would get access to some EU markets | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
through hundreds of complex deals but it too would have to pay for the | :11:07. | :11:09. | |
privilege and accept EU citizens across its borders. If the UK copied | :11:10. | :11:15. | |
Canada it would get a free trade agreement with the EU, avoiding red | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
tape and demands for cash. But there will be less access to EU markets | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
and it could take years before the deal is agreed. Or the UK could just | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
fall back on basic rules laid down by the World Trade Organisation with | :11:28. | :11:33. | |
no obligations to the EU, but potentially excepting trade tariffs | :11:34. | :11:36. | |
that could force prices at home. Downing Street published a document | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
to focus attention on what it sees as the uncertainty involved in | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
leaving the EU and to try to force its opponents to talk about | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
something they would rather avoid. But ministers campaigning to leave | :11:49. | :11:51. | |
the EU say this is just another dodgy dossier of scaremongering and | :11:52. | :11:58. | |
would fool no one. Back in the 1990s David Cameron worked for Norman | :11:59. | :12:00. | |
Lamont during another European crisis. Today the former Chancellor | :12:01. | :12:06. | |
said his one-time protege had got it wrong. And the UK should leave the | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
EU. Why will the leave campaign not spell out the what wrecks it would | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
mean to the British economy and its trading relations with the EU? That | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
you cannot spell out every single detail of which sectors will be | :12:21. | :12:27. | |
affected in each way. But the UK will get and needs in the event of | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
Brexit, a special trade arrangement, giving full tariff free access to | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
the single market. That is easily negotiable. For this reason. The EU | :12:38. | :12:42. | |
needs access to us every bit as much as we need access to them. But the | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
Prime Minister of Norway told the BBC there would be a price to pay. | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
One that her country had paid. To believe that you will get everything | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
you want and not give anything back at that does not happen. Basically | :12:57. | :13:05. | |
we have left part of our democracy to Europe. Few here at Westminster | :13:06. | :13:08. | |
think Norway is a plausible model for the UK outside the EU but the | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
debate about what might be has only just begun. | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
The former England footballer Adam Johnson is found guilty | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
of sexual activity with a 15-year-old girl. | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
Coronation Street actors pay tribute to its creator, | :13:25. | :13:33. | |
Coming up on Sportsday. Allan Gibb -- Olympic cycling champion Victoria | :13:34. | :13:52. | |
Pendleton has won her first race just a year after her first riding | :13:53. | :13:54. | |
lesson. What's a game of school rugby | :13:55. | :14:00. | |
without the all-important tackle. A lot safer according to a group | :14:01. | :14:03. | |
of doctors and health experts. They've written an open letter | :14:04. | :14:06. | |
to ministers saying the tackle should be banned because it can | :14:07. | :14:09. | |
lead to serious injury. The Department for Education says | :14:10. | :14:12. | |
schools should provide a safe environment for pupils | :14:13. | :14:15. | |
to play sports. We've asked one of the health | :14:16. | :14:18. | |
experts, Professor Allyson Pollock, and the former England | :14:19. | :14:21. | |
international, Matt Perry, They include fractures, | :14:22. | :14:23. | |
dislocated shoulders, ligamentous tears, concussion, | :14:24. | :14:46. | |
head trauma and also So we are talking about serious | :14:47. | :14:48. | |
injuries which also require quite a lot of time off school | :14:49. | :14:54. | |
and away from sport. Tackling is a fundamental part | :14:55. | :14:57. | |
of what makes rugby. No one goes into a game of rugby, | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
or shouldn't if they are living the values of respect, | :15:02. | :15:08. | |
to go and hurt anyone else, but rugby | :15:09. | :15:12. | |
is competitive and physical. The contact part has | :15:13. | :15:14. | |
been going for years. We can wake up in the morning, | :15:15. | :15:23. | |
and with the knowledge and data we have now, | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
with Google, we can ask, how can I get out of bed and | :15:29. | :15:35. | |
manage risk today? And we will properly get | :15:36. | :15:38. | |
an answer, and we can think, I agree there is a correlation | :15:39. | :15:40. | |
between the data and some long-term effects, but the risk is owned | :15:41. | :15:48. | |
by the parents and If they take the responsibility, | :15:49. | :15:51. | |
they should crack on. There is very good evidence to show | :15:52. | :15:54. | |
that a child who has been concussed is much more likely to be concussed | :15:55. | :15:57. | |
again, and that children take longer to recover from concussion or head | :15:58. | :16:00. | |
trauma than adults do. We are advocating that tag rugby | :16:01. | :16:26. | |
replaces contact rugby, because most of the injuries | :16:27. | :16:28. | |
occurred during contact, more than 90% occur | :16:29. | :16:30. | |
during the collision or contact phase, we are saying that you have | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
to take that out and make it tag rugby | :16:35. | :16:37. | |
if we are going to keep our children safe and protect them | :16:38. | :16:39. | |
from avoidable injuries. We need quality coaches, | :16:40. | :16:41. | |
and a great opportunity from the RFU from the World Cup, | :16:42. | :16:44. | |
and there is a great number of kids coming into the game, | :16:45. | :16:47. | |
loving the game. To take away that contact element | :16:48. | :16:49. | |
for competitive kids, I think we'll lose a great cultural | :16:50. | :16:51. | |
game in this country. Two opposing views there - | :16:52. | :16:59. | |
on rugby in schools. Scotland's first minister, | :17:00. | :17:04. | |
Nicola Sturgeon, has announced plans to reform the council tax if the SNP | :17:05. | :17:07. | |
wins the next Holyrood People living in more expensive | :17:08. | :17:10. | |
homes would face higher charges, and a nine-year council | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
tax freeze would end. Critics say the package fell well | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
short of expectations. Our Scotland Editor | :17:20. | :17:21. | |
Sarah Smith reports. A lesson today in home economics for | :17:22. | :17:38. | |
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon at a school near Edinburgh. She announced | :17:39. | :17:41. | |
a council tax revamp that will see some bills go up by hundreds of | :17:42. | :17:45. | |
pounds. The money raised, ?100 million, she says will go to | :17:46. | :17:49. | |
education. It is part of what is a balanced approach, asking people at | :17:50. | :17:53. | |
the top to pay a bit more, helping reduce the burden on those at the | :17:54. | :17:56. | |
bottom. Also making sure that we generate additional revenue and | :17:57. | :18:02. | |
ensuring that additional revenue is investigated -- invested in school. | :18:03. | :18:05. | |
At present people in the most expensive homes in Scotland paid | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
three times what was charged and the least valuable properties but | :18:11. | :18:13. | |
they're worth 15 times more. Under the SNP plans household in the top | :18:14. | :18:17. | |
for council tax band will pay more from next April. Increases of | :18:18. | :18:23. | |
between ?105 a year up to over ?500. Councils will also be able to raise | :18:24. | :18:27. | |
taxes across the board by 3% every year. | :18:28. | :18:34. | |
Councils have complained they cannot pay for local services as the | :18:35. | :18:36. | |
Scottish Government has prevented them putting up the council tax for | :18:37. | :18:39. | |
the past eight years. From next year though around a | :18:40. | :18:44. | |
quarter of Scottish households will find that they are paying more for | :18:45. | :18:46. | |
council tax. Unbelievable. ?10 a week is ?500 a | :18:47. | :18:53. | |
year and that is from your net income. It is a lot of money to | :18:54. | :18:57. | |
find. It will put a lot of people over the edge. I work part time so | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
it is quite a big ask. Quite a bit of extra money for that. It depends | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
what we get from many. It might be difficult to find the money for | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
that. At the end of the day everyone has got to pay their way and do | :19:11. | :19:16. | |
their share. This is a clear signal from the SNP that if they win the | :19:17. | :19:19. | |
Scottish elections in May, better off Scots are going to have to start | :19:20. | :19:22. | |
paying more. And not just the council tax increase, there are also | :19:23. | :19:26. | |
likely to say they put up the top rate of income tax as well. | :19:27. | :19:32. | |
Council workers have clashed with the Scottish Government over their | :19:33. | :19:35. | |
funding for this year. They will now get more money next year but do not | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
think the plans are radical enough. I'm surprised that so little has | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
been announced from the point of view of just adjusting the bands. It | :19:45. | :19:47. | |
looks to be tinkering around the edges. The SNP had promised a more | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
radical rethink of local taxes but those plans have been shelved now. | :19:52. | :19:56. | |
The tax landscape in Scotland is changing gradually. | :19:57. | :19:58. | |
A brief look at some of the day's other other news stories. | :19:59. | :20:01. | |

The Health and Safety Executive said that had it not been for Crown | :20:08. | :20:14. | |
immunity, the MoD would have faced prosecution. | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
50-year-old Jason Lawrence from Hampshire has been found guilty | :20:19. | :20:21. | |

Police described Lawrence as a "sexual predator". | :20:28. | :20:32. | |
A friend of a teenager accused of murdering a pupil at a school | :20:33. | :20:35. | |
in Aberdeen has told the city's High Court that his friend had | :20:36. | :20:38. | |
knives and knuckle-dusters because he thought they were cool. | :20:39. | :20:42. | |
16-year-old Bailey Gwynne was killed after a fight broke out | :20:43. | :20:45. | |
They call him the father of Coronation Street - | :20:46. | :20:54. | |
Tony Warren - the man who created the UK's longest running soap - | :20:55. | :20:57. | |
He came up with the idea at the age of 24 and remained a consultant | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
on the soap for the rest of his life. | :21:03. | :21:04. | |
Colleagues and friends have described him as a pioneer | :21:05. | :21:06. | |
Our correspondent Judith Moritz looks back at his life. | :21:07. | :21:18. | |
Coronation Street is all right. There are some you have to watch. It | :21:19. | :21:25. | |
was an exposed to every six weeks but Coronation Street has become the | :21:26. | :21:28. | |
world's longest-running TV soap. It was all the idea of one man. Local | :21:29. | :21:36. | |
lad Tony Warren was just 24 when he wrote the first episodes. He is | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
credited with bringing the so-called kitchen-sink drama to our TV | :21:41. | :21:44. | |
screens. Get out of here before I get my rag | :21:45. | :21:50. | |
out! I grew up in a matriarchal world. The man will always work on | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
war so I was surrounded by strong women. When the men came back the | :21:55. | :21:59. | |
women carried on being strong. Those characters just keep repeating | :22:00. | :22:02. | |
themselves, they are iconic. Helen Worth has played Gayle on the street | :22:03. | :22:07. | |
for 42 years and she feels that she owes a debt of thanks to Tony | :22:08. | :22:12. | |
Warren. There would not be soap is not for Tony Warren. The lives of | :22:13. | :22:15. | |
actors would not have had employment. If it was not for Tony | :22:16. | :22:19. | |
Warren. They cut their teeth on this programme. Viewers at home would not | :22:20. | :22:25. | |
have been watching, laughing and crying with us if not for Tony | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
Warren. What a mega legacy he has left behind. Although Tony Warren | :22:30. | :22:36. | |
also wrote novels and film scripts, he never strayed far from TV's most | :22:37. | :22:43. | |
famous street. Year on the set they stop work today as a mark of respect | :22:44. | :22:46. | |
for Tony Warren who was still closely involved in the soap nifty | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
six years after he created it. He often spent time here in the studio | :22:52. | :22:54. | |
is advising on storylines and spending time with the cast and crew | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
that he considered to be his TV family. | :22:59. | :23:05. | |
The stars Tony Warren helped create have paid tribute to him today. He | :23:06. | :23:10. | |
has been called a pioneer, a revolutionary, and a giant of | :23:11. | :23:15. | |
British television. Tony Warren who died today aged 79. | :23:16. | :23:19. | |
I have better news for tomorrow. Today many of us will be glad to see | :23:20. | :23:31. | |
the back of today because it has been so cold, really strong wind, | :23:32. | :23:35. | |
blown to bits by those gusty showers. Pretty dramatic scenes of | :23:36. | :23:42. | |
clouds sent in to us. That is where the air sinks at the top of the | :23:43. | :23:47. | |
cloud. Tomorrow pure showers and the wind lighter. Today we had gale | :23:48. | :23:52. | |
force winds of up to 70 miles an hour in the south-west of the UK | :23:53. | :23:57. | |
briefly. Tonight, icy patches in the north of the country, we had so many | :23:58. | :24:02. | |
showers, there is a lot of damp out there so take it steady first thing | :24:03. | :24:06. | |
if you're travelling. Not so cold in the South first thing in the morning | :24:07. | :24:11. | |
and then tomorrow, fewer of these white arrows, so a larger wind, a | :24:12. | :24:15. | |
bit more sunshine and a completely dry day. Some wintry showers almost | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
anywhere but more often than not the weather will be dry and just that | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
bit more is on. There to Friday, we see a bit of a change once again. | :24:25. | :24:27. | |
This weather system is going to bring some sleet and snow for a | :24:28. | :24:34. | |
time. We're talking about murder in England, the Midlands, into Wales as | :24:35. | :24:37. | |
well. Thursday night into Friday. This is where the areas of white | :24:38. | :24:44. | |
will be. It could be a bit further north or south but the broad | :24:45. | :24:47. | |
messages through this part of the country, just be prepared on Friday | :24:48. | :24:51. | |
morning rush hour for some tricky conditions. Still staying cold later | :24:52. | :24:57. | |
on Friday afternoon, 4 degrees in Yorkshire. If you're travelling, | :24:58. | :25:03. | |
Friday evening, the band of wet weather with the sleet and snow | :25:04. | :25:07. | |
still with us across the south of the country. Here is the forecast | :25:08. | :25:10. | |
for the weekend, blue arrows coming from the north. Have a guess! | :25:11. | :25:16. | |
- so it's goodbye from me - and on BBC One we now join the BBC's | :25:17. | :25:21. |
