Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six. | :01:28. | :01:53. | |
An elderly priest has been killed in northern France after two armed | :01:54. | :02:00. | |
men stormed into a catholic church service in Normandy | :02:01. | :02:02. | |
The two attackers were shot dead by police. | :02:03. | :02:12. | |
One of the people inside the church is in a critical condition. | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
The french president, Francois Hollande, said | :02:16. | :02:17. | |
the attackers claimed to be from so-called Islamic State. | :02:18. | :02:19. | |
A french official has revealed that one of the attackers had previously | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
been imprisoned after trying to get to Syria and was wearing | :02:23. | :02:24. | |
This scene has become France's short hand for horror. Today the sirens | :02:25. | :02:31. | |
was sounding for the he dead and wounded of St Etienne church. For an | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
elderly priest and a handful of nuns and worshippers, knife during their | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
morning service by two men claiming their wage their version of a holy | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
war. Father Jacques Hamel was executed in this quiet local church. | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
Reports say his throat was cut. He was 84 years' old. His attackers | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
shot dead by police, as they stepped outside the church door. Jean-Claude | :02:56. | :03:04. | |
had Joan Father Jacques for years. "This was a peaceful town, too small | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
to be a target. We thought we were safe here." TRANSLATION: I knew the | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
priest personally. The nuns were my neighbours. They would have lunch | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
together next door. They were humble people. The priest was a good man, | :03:18. | :03:25. | |
calm and friendly. Today the line when president and public was thin. | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
But this was an act designed to start a war, create division. An act | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
the President linked to so-called Islamic State, also known as Daesh. | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
TRANSLATION: The threat remains high. Very high. This is what we | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
have lived through over the past few day, even the past few years. Daesh | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
has declared war against us. We must face up to this war, by all means, | :03:51. | :03:58. | |
whilst respecting the rule of law. The far right leader, Marine Le Pen | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
has described it as another horror carried out by Islamist terrorists. | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
Less than two weeks after the last attack here, France is again faced | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
with the problem of how to confront its jihadist threat. Police have | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
raided a nearby flat, amid reports one of the attackers was a local | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
man, who may have been wearing an electronic tag, after trying to | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
travel to Syria. But this is a national battle for the things | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
France values most, its freedoms, its lifestyle, its identity. Each | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
time France argues a little more over the cause of this menace and | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
how to beat it, and this time, it happens again. | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
The challenge for France is that it is facing more than one kind of | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
threat. There are those attacks that are linked to established networks. | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
There are those inspired by IS. And there are those copy cat attacks by | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
the angry and marginalised. The government here is under a lot of | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
pressure to prevent any more attacks, but that's very difficult | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
to do when, as we saw today, they can erupt anywhere at all. | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
Thank you Lucy. BT's Openreach division, | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
which runs the UK's broadband infrastructure covering | :05:11. | :05:12. | |
30 million customers, should become a distinct company | :05:13. | :05:13. | |
within the BT Group, The media watchdog has resisted | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
calls to split Openreach off entirely, saying people should | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
receive faster, more reliable Campaigners have described | :05:21. | :05:22. | |
the current level Oh it's impossible. I can't work. | :05:23. | :05:37. | |
Ian Firth wanted to run his property firm from home today, but he | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
couldn't. His broadband here in Somerset is often unrelial. This | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
afternoon it wasn't connecting at all All the planning applications we | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
prepare are submitted online through the government planning portal. | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
Client files are shared with clients through PDFs and e-mail. We don't | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
have paper files. You can't work right now? I simply can't work. It | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
is not just rural areas like this. Consumer groups say too many homes | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
and businesses across the UK are struggling to get decent broadband. | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
They have been calling for the whole system to be overhauled. Just as | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
networking rail own the tracks down there, and train companies operate | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
trains on them, well, it is a bit like that with broadband as well. | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
The UK's communications' network is owned by BT subsidiary Openreach and | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
companies like Sky and Talk Talk pay to access all the cables and the | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
wires. But critics say Openreach hasn't | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
been open enough. And claim it would be better for customers if BT had to | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
sell it off. Today the regulator, Ofcom, said that wasn't necessary, | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
but it does want Openreach to operate as a distinct company, | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
within the wider BT Group. We believe that will deliver more | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
reliable, faster broadband. Engineers who it up up on time, do | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
the job first time and also more investment. So Openreach will now | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
have its own board and will be told to work for all customers, not just | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
BT's, but rival broadband firms aren't convinced I don't think that | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
legally separating Openreach goes far enough. Because you are | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
dependent on detailed regulation, lots of lawyers pouring all over | :07:21. | :07:27. | |
what BT can and can't do. Whereas if you probably separate, create | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
Openreach plc, there is no need for that complicated regulation. But BT | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
said the proposals were sense I will and claimed breaking up the company | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
would have been bad for customers. With less choice and liar prices. | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
There is no evidence, anywhere around the world, that structural | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
separation works. In fact, the examples, the few countries that | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
have done it, have laid to chaos in many cases. As for Ian, he has to | :07:52. | :07:58. | |
drive nine miles to a specially-rented office, just to | :07:59. | :08:00. | |
connect to the internet. He hopes the changes at BT will mean he soon | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
gets better access to the information superhighway. | :08:05. | :08:11. | |
Hillary Clinton will become the first woman presidential | :08:12. | :08:13. | |
nominee of a major US Party later today at the Democratic | :08:14. | :08:15. | |
But her name has been repeatedly booed there - | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
despite her former rival Bernie Sanders calling | :08:20. | :08:21. | |
Michelle Obama also tried to rally support for her in a | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
Our North America Editor, Jon Sopel, was watching. | :08:27. | :08:36. | |
To angry Bernie Sanders' supporters this probably wasn't the best | :08:37. | :08:38. | |
approach from actress and comedian, Sarah Silverman. | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
Can I just say to the Bernie or Bust people - you're being ridiculous. | :08:44. | :08:51. | |
But the person who did manage to simultaneously unite | :08:52. | :08:59. | |
and electrify the convention was the First Lady, Michelle Obama. | :09:00. | :09:01. | |
I wake up every morning in a house that was built by slaves. | :09:02. | :09:09. | |
two beautiful, intelligent, black young women playing with their dogs | :09:10. | :09:17. | |
And because of Hillary Clinton, my daughters and all our sons | :09:18. | :09:27. | |
and daughters, now take for granted that a woman can be president | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
And she took this shot at Donald Trump's make | :09:31. | :09:40. | |
Don't let anyone ever tell you that this country isn't great. | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
That somehow we need to make it great again. | :09:47. | :09:48. | |
Because, this, right now, is the greatest country on earth. | :09:49. | :10:02. | |
But now it was Bernie Sanders' turn to bring his | :10:03. | :10:04. | |
Any objective observer would conclude that based | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
on her ideas and her leadership, Hillary Clinton must become the next | :10:09. | :10:10. | |
Nearly all other mentions of Hillary Clinton were met | :10:11. | :10:18. | |
with jeers from sections of the audience. | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
I'm not going to support her because she is a war hog, | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
she is a liar and she is a bad person. | :10:26. | :10:28. | |
Would you rather have Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton? | :10:29. | :10:30. | |
That's all I can say, they're booing every time | :10:31. | :10:37. | |
Polls suggest 90% of Bernie Sanders' supporters will back | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
But those that won't, are making a lot of noise. | :10:43. | :10:52. | |
In a few hours' time we'll have what is called the roll call vote, | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
wheneverry individual state will cast their vote in favour of Hillary | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
Clinton at the end of which she will become the Democratic nominee for | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
president. It'll also represent the last chance for Bernie Sanders' | :11:06. | :11:08. | |
supporters to make a commotion and commotion they will make. | :11:09. | :11:16. | |
The prospect of using cloning to treat humans has been boosted | :11:17. | :11:18. | |
by new evidence that suggests it can be used safely in animals. | :11:19. | :11:21. | |
Scientists had been worried that cloning could make | :11:22. | :11:23. | |
animals age prematurely, after Dolly the Sheep, | :11:24. | :11:26. | |
the first mammal to be cloned from an adult cell, | :11:27. | :11:28. | |
was diagnosed with osteoarthritris at a young age. | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
Now, four more sheep, cloned from the same cells as Dolly, | :11:32. | :11:34. | |
have just passed their 9th birthday in good health. | :11:35. | :11:36. | |
This is Denise, Debbie, Diana and Daisy. | :11:37. | :11:45. | |
They're clones near the end of their lives and, | :11:46. | :11:47. | |
It's that combination that puts pay to some scientific and | :11:48. | :11:55. | |
ethical concerns arising from cloning animals. | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
This small flock were cloned from the same adult cell used | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
to produce Dolly the sheep, 20 years ago. | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
Her birth was a scientific first, but when she died, relatively young, | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
affected by the aliments of old age, it raised serious questions. | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
Dolly developed certain diseases like osteoarthritis | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
at what was considered to be a relatively young age | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
and there were concerns that her biological age might be | :12:22. | :12:23. | |
But the systems for cloning have changed slightly over | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
the years and it's much more efficient now than it was. | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
This is the first detailed study to look at the health of cloned | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
offspring at an old age and it shows that they're, for all intents | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
Using technology like MRI scanners, scientists at Nottingham University | :12:42. | :12:47. | |
searched for signs of illnesses commonly seen in older lowland | :12:48. | :12:49. | |
sheep, including the osteoarthritis that inflicted Dolly. | :12:50. | :12:55. | |
I was surprised at how little osteoarthritis we actually | :12:56. | :12:57. | |
There was only really one sheep that had quite bad arthritis | :12:58. | :13:03. | |
and I suspect if you looked at a population of farmed sheep | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
of that age, I think I would have expected to have found more | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
arthritis in more joints of more of the sheep. | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
The significance of these four for human health is that the study | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
has proved they've long and healthy lives. | :13:18. | :13:20. | |
It means that one day the technology behind their cloning may be used | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
to create treatments for disorders and diseases in people. | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
The so-called 'Nottingham flock' came about because scientists | :13:29. | :13:31. | |
are trying to improve the efficiency of the cloning process. | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
The fact that these sheep have outlived their identical genetic | :13:36. | :13:37. | |
sister, Dolly, by two-and-a-half years, is an important step forward. | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
It means renewed hope for human treatments such as stem cell | :13:43. | :13:44. | |
therapies and, say the scientists, an improved quality of life | :13:45. | :13:47. | |

At least 19 people have been killed and 20 injured in a knife attack | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
A 26-year-old man, who used to work at the home, later handed | :14:02. | :14:05. | |
The attack happened in the city of Sagamihara at a centre for people | :14:06. | :14:16. | |
with learning difficulties. This CCTV footage from outside | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
the care home is thought to capture the moment, | :14:22. | :14:23. | |
late last night, that the killer This morning, forensic teams began | :14:24. | :14:26. | |
pieceing together the elements of And Japan is a country | :14:27. | :14:34. | |
in profound shock. In room after room, | :14:35. | :14:41. | |
the victims were found Many had serious | :14:42. | :14:43. | |
mental disabilities. The oldest of those | :14:44. | :14:52. | |
killed was aged 70. Shortly afterwards, a former | :14:53. | :14:54. | |
employee at the care home, 26-year-old Satoshi Uematsu, | :14:55. | :15:00. | |
seen here in a Facebook photo, TRANSLATION: This wasn't | :15:01. | :15:03. | |
an impulsive crime where the suspect He went in the dead of night, | :15:04. | :15:09. | |
opened one door at a time and stabbed sleeping | :15:10. | :15:15. | |
people one at a time. Again, this footage is said to match | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
the timings and shortly afterwards the alleged killer handed himself | :15:20. | :15:25. | |
in at a local police station. Uematsu had begun to publicly | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
express his disturbing view that disabled people, | :15:30. | :15:46. | |
unable to live independent In February this year, | :15:47. | :15:48. | |
his employment here came to an end after he wrote | :15:49. | :15:50. | |
to the national parliament. The letter, pictures of which have | :15:51. | :15:53. | |
been broadcast today, was enough to prompt the authorities | :15:54. | :15:55. | |
to act and Uematsu was detained But, just two weeks later, | :15:56. | :15:58. | |
he was released, returning to live in this house, | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
a short distance from the care home. When I worked there, the staff | :16:03. | :16:09. | |
and tenants were like friends. Amid the grief, the debate | :16:10. | :16:12. | |
is already turning to whether more John Sudworth, BBC News, | :16:13. | :16:16. | |

The Irish jockey JT McNamara has died at the age of 41. | :16:52. | :17:06. | |
The online retailer, Amazon, is to begin testing whether drones | :17:07. | :17:08. | |
can be used to deliver packages in the UK. | :17:09. | :17:11. | |
The company says that if the experiment is successful, | :17:12. | :17:14. | |
small parcels could arrive within 30 minutes of being ordered online. | :17:15. | :17:17. | |
Amazon will work with the Civil Aviation Authority | :17:18. | :17:19. | |
and the Government to examine how the drones can be used safely, | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
but there are concerns about possible invasion | :17:24. | :17:25. | |
Here's our transport correspondent, Richard Westcott. | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
It sounds like something out of Harry Potter - | :17:30. | :17:32. | |
thousands of parcels being flown through the air then | :17:33. | :17:35. | |
dropped off at your house, but drones delivering your shopping | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
could eventually be a reality across Britain. | :17:40. | :17:42. | |
We're not about to see drones delivering parcels onto our | :17:43. | :17:45. | |
doorsteps any time soon, it could be a few years. | :17:46. | :17:49. | |
What this is about is working out how to do it safely. | :17:50. | :17:52. | |
Are we going to need new laws, for example? | :17:53. | :17:54. | |
Of course, they're going to be going over people's gardens, | :17:55. | :18:00. | |
How do you guarantee they're not just going to fall out of the sky? | :18:01. | :18:07. | |
There are going to be people who just don't fancy the idea. | :18:08. | :18:10. | |
We take privacy extremely seriously at Amazon, | :18:11. | :18:13. | |
we always have and we're not in the business of surveillance, | :18:14. | :18:16. | |
we want to be able to engage in safe parcel delivery. | :18:17. | :18:21. | |
This advert from Amazon shows what it could actually look like. | :18:22. | :18:24. | |
A machine that's part aeroplane, part helicopter would fly | :18:25. | :18:28. | |
at around 50 miles an hour, 300 or 400 feet up. | :18:29. | :18:31. | |
When it gets to your house, you put down a landing mat and it | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
That's the plan anyway, but one drone manufacturer isn't convinced. | :18:36. | :18:40. | |
I think we're going to see drones definitely used by businesses | :18:41. | :18:45. | |
for commercial tasks like surveying buildings, | :18:46. | :18:48. | |
like search and rescue, things to do with construction | :18:49. | :18:51. | |
and keeping an eye on building projects, not so much probably | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
in delivery to your door, just because there are are a lot | :18:56. | :19:03. | |
The Government says it's Amazon partnership is a world first, | :19:04. | :19:08. | |
eventually, opening the skies to a whole host of companies | :19:09. | :19:10. | |
who want to move goods through the air. | :19:11. | :19:13. | |
All right, so it's not going to be like Robot Wars, | :19:14. | :19:16. | |
but one of the programme's expert judges says there are some very | :19:17. | :19:19. | |
Well, I guess the biggest concern is privacy, but it's | :19:20. | :19:26. | |
What are we going to do about criminal activity - | :19:27. | :19:30. | |
hacking, stealing the drones delivering drugs with them, | :19:31. | :19:32. | |
bombing us and also other companies getting them. | :19:33. | :19:35. | |
Although Amazon say they have no cameras, how do we know that | :19:36. | :19:38. | |
The sky is the limit for drone technology, if they can convince | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
A 12-year-old scout has died while attending an international | :19:44. | :19:55. | |
Charlie Girling, from Aylesford in Kent, collapsed on Sunday | :19:56. | :20:01. | |
at the camp where on-site paramedics tried to save him. | :20:02. | :20:03. | |
The Scout Association said it's thoughts and prayers | :20:04. | :20:10. | |
The production company behind the latest Star Wars film has | :20:11. | :20:14. | |
pleaded guilty to two criminal charges after the actor, | :20:15. | :20:17. | |
The 74-year-old, who plays Han Solo, was struck by a hydraulic metal door | :20:18. | :20:21. | |
Our entertainment correspondent, Lizo Mzimba, is there for us now. | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
It's clear from the details of the case that this could have | :20:27. | :20:29. | |
Yes. That's right. The #3r0s cueings was brought by the Health and Safety | :20:30. | :20:38. | |
Executive after Harrison Ford, reprizing his role as Han Solo was | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
pinned down by a heavy hydraulic door on of the set of the spaceship. | :20:44. | :20:48. | |
The prosecution told Milton Keynes Magistrates' Court it could have | :20:49. | :20:51. | |
killed someone. The fact that it didn't was because an emergency stop | :20:52. | :20:58. | |
was activated. Now there is no suggestion Pinewood Studios were at | :20:59. | :21:01. | |
fault. Safety on the set was the responsibility of the production | :21:02. | :21:07. | |
company making Star Wars. Today they pleaded guilty to two breaches of | :21:08. | :21:12. | |
health and safety law. Although they did dispute the precise levels of | :21:13. | :21:15. | |
seriousness and risk surrounding the incident. They are now facing an | :21:16. | :21:21. | |
unlimited fine. Sentencing will be at Aylesbury Crown Court on the 22nd | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
August. Lizo, at Pinewood Studios, thank you. | :21:27. | :21:32. | |
The first round-the-world flight by a solar powered plane has been | :21:33. | :21:35. | |
The Solar Impulse has landed in Abu Dhabi, | :21:36. | :21:38. | |
26,000 miles and 16 months after beginning its journey there. | :21:39. | :21:40. | |
It made 17 stops on the way, but without using a drop of fuel. | :21:41. | :21:44. | |
Here are some of the key moments from its flight. | :21:45. | :21:49. | |
In an adventure like this one, we have a lot of unknowns. | :21:50. | :22:20. | |
A lot of unexpected, of unpredictable. | :22:21. | :22:44. | |
When you fly several days and several nights, | :22:45. | :22:47. | |
you start to use your cockpit as your little house | :22:48. | :22:49. | |
We have dared to fail and when you dare to fail, you | :22:50. | :23:06. | |
The first solar powered flight around the world. | :23:07. | :23:35. | |
There are just 10 days to go before the Rio Olympics and one of Team | :23:36. | :23:39. | |
GB's leading lights is cyclist Jason Kenny. | :23:40. | :23:41. | |
He may not be a household name, but he's already won three Gold | :23:42. | :23:44. | |
Were he to win in Rio, he'd join a very select number | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
In the latest of our series looking at the British 'ones to watch', | :23:49. | :23:53. | |
our sports correspondent, Andy Swiss, went to meet him. | :23:54. | :23:55. | |
Three Golds, two Games - one sensational cyclist. | :23:56. | :23:57. | |
COMMENTATOR: Kenny is the Olympic Sprint Champion! | :23:58. | :23:59. | |
London 2012 propelled Jason Kenny to Olympic greatness, | :24:00. | :24:03. | |
but what happens when the crowds have gone and the gloss | :24:04. | :24:06. | |
Well, for Kenny it proved an agonising question - | :24:07. | :24:13. | |
rediscovering his motivation, he told me, was one of his | :24:14. | :24:16. | |
It was horrible, to be honest, because you come off | :24:17. | :24:20. | |
the form of your life, going faster than ever and then | :24:21. | :24:23. | |
you kind of come crashing back down-to-earth, you know, | :24:24. | :24:25. | |
to an empty Velodrome, on kind of average kit | :24:26. | :24:27. | |
So it is difficult to kind of soak that up. | :24:28. | :24:32. | |
By this spring though and the World Championships, | :24:33. | :24:34. | |
But this highest of achievers still has a less than high-profile. | :24:35. | :24:41. | |
Remarkably, he still has no personal sponsor. | :24:42. | :24:45. | |
But, at the end of the day, if people don't want to sponsor | :24:46. | :24:50. | |
me, then that's just the way it is, you know. | :24:51. | :24:52. | |
I just learn to accept that now and we're in competition with, | :24:53. | :24:55. | |
you know, all the pretty athletes and all your Tom Daly's | :24:56. | :24:59. | |
and people like that, who I would never be able to compete | :25:00. | :25:02. | |
with when it comes to like a marketing point of view. | :25:03. | :25:05. | |
Do you quite like being under the radar in some | :25:06. | :25:07. | |
I couldn't think of anything worse than being a celebrity. | :25:08. | :25:12. | |
His relationship though with fellow cyclist, Laura Trott, | :25:13. | :25:14. | |
The pair are engaged and will both be in Rio. | :25:15. | :25:19. | |
Good news for them, if not for their pets. | :25:20. | :25:21. | |
We have to find someone to look after the dogs when we're away. | :25:22. | :25:24. | |
Whereas if, you know, one of us wasn't at the Olympics, | :25:25. | :25:27. | |
But, yeah, generally speaking, we support each other | :25:28. | :25:31. | |
I guess it's nice to be able to actually see each other out | :25:32. | :25:39. | |
there and spend time with each other in the village as well. | :25:40. | :25:41. | |
Who will be the calmer come the Olympics? | :25:42. | :25:43. | |
She worries more than enough for both of us, so I don't have | :25:44. | :25:50. | |
If I had to retire tomorrow, I could retire and be happy | :25:51. | :25:54. | |
with I've achieved but, obviously, you can never have too | :25:55. | :25:56. | |
So we'll be going to hopefully add to the collection. | :25:57. | :26:00. | |
And if he does, an already glittering career will be | :26:01. | :26:02. | |
Good luck to him and I'm sure he found someone to look after the dogs | :26:03. | :26:13. | |
by now. Deckchair weather today on the south | :26:14. | :26:24. | |
coast. Things are on the change. Thanks to Robbie sending that | :26:25. | :26:28. | |
picture in from Worthing. The sunshine was in evidence across the | :26:29. | :26:35. | |
south-east. The cloud is invading. The main event is arriving across | :26:36. | :26:38. | |
Northern Ireland, central and southern Scotland. A damp evening to | :26:39. | :26:43. | |
come here. That rain will move southwards and eastwards through | :26:44. | :26:45. | |
England and Wales later on in the night. It will take all night arrive | :26:46. | :26:50. | |
across East Anglia and the south-east. Never making it to the | :26:51. | :26:54. | |
northern half of the Scotland. Fresh to Scotland and Northern Ireland. | :26:55. | :26:59. | |
Muggy across the south. A three way split tomorrow morning. This is | :27:00. | :27:03. | |
breakfast time. For most of England and Wales, misty, damp, a lot of fog | :27:04. | :27:07. | |
up over the high ground. Across the far north of England much brighter | :27:08. | :27:11. | |
skies here, as there will be for Northern Ireland and most of | :27:12. | :27:14. | |
Scotland, blue skies and sunshine. Lovely start to the day. The | :27:15. | :27:18. | |
blustery showers keeping going across the far north-west of | :27:19. | :27:21. | |
Scotland. The third piece to the jigsaw, if you like. The damp | :27:22. | :27:25. | |
weather across central and southern areas will ease away. It will take | :27:26. | :27:28. | |
quite a while. It stays quite cloudy. We might just see some | :27:29. | :27:34. | |
brightness. We might just see the odd heavy possibly thundery shower | :27:35. | :27:38. | |
to the heart of the Midlands. The best of the sunshine further north | :27:39. | :27:43. | |
and west across the UK. Pleasant temperatures into the low 20s. Mug | :27:44. | :27:49. | |
across the south. On Thursday we do it the same. Low pressure from the | :27:50. | :27:54. | |
Atlantic. Further rain at some stage, through this central slice of | :27:55. | :27:58. | |
the country. The far north will escape the worse of the rain. Humid | :27:59. | :28:03. | |
and muggy to southern areas with one or two showers perhaps. The fresher | :28:04. | :28:08. | |
conditions for all of us come the weekend. Thank you. | :28:09. | :28:12. | |
Two armed men claiming to support so-called Islamic State have stormed | :28:13. | :28:16. | |
a church service in northern France and murdered a priest. | :28:17. | :28:19. | |
That's all from the BBC News at Six, so it's goodbye from me, | :28:20. | :28:22. | |
and on BBC One we now join the BBC's news teams where you are. | :28:23. | :28:26. |
