The Conservatives hail a historic victory,

:00:00.:00:00.

as they sweep Labour aside in the Copeland by-election.

:00:07.:00:11.

They've got a lot to cheer about, it's the first by election win

:00:12.:00:14.

for a party in power in a generation.

:00:15.:00:17.

This is an astounding victory for the Conservative Party but also

:00:18.:00:20.

You know Labour have held this seat since the 1930s.

:00:21.:00:32.

Meanwhile Labour does hang on to its seat in Stoke Central,

:00:33.:00:34.

It's a message about the economy, it's a message about jobs,

:00:35.:00:40.

it is a message about this country, but above all, above all

:00:41.:00:43.

it was a message that hope triumphs over fear.

:00:44.:00:52.

We'll be asking how the political landscape is changed by today's

:00:53.:00:54.

A nerve agent classed as a weapon of mass destruction is found

:00:55.:01:04.

on the face of the murdered half-brother of

:01:05.:01:06.

Claudio Ranieri speaks out after his sacking

:01:07.:01:11.

Is there anything you would like to say to the fans? Yes, I am very sad

:01:12.:01:24.

for them. I wish them all the best. And as Hollywood gears

:01:25.:01:28.

up for its big night, we look at the art of

:01:29.:01:30.

the Oscars acceptance speech. And coming up on BBC News,

:01:31.:01:32.

Premier League managers give their reaction

:01:33.:01:34.

to Claudio Ranieri's sacking. Jose Mourinho said he had been let

:01:35.:01:36.

down by the selfishness of others. The Conservative Party has won

:01:37.:02:01.

a historic by-election in government has taken a seat

:02:02.:02:04.

in a by-election for 35 years, Theresa May said her party had

:02:05.:02:11.

secured an outstanding victory. The Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn

:02:12.:02:17.

described their defeat But he said he wouldn't

:02:18.:02:19.

be standing down. Labour has held Copeland since 1935

:02:20.:02:25.

but the Conservatives overturned a Labour majority of more than two

:02:26.:02:28.

and a half thousand. In a second by-election

:02:29.:02:32.

in Stoke-on-Trent Central, Labour saw off a concerted challenge

:02:33.:02:34.

from the Ukip leader Paul Nuttall - In a moment, we'll have a full

:02:35.:02:37.

report from Stoke but first our Deputy Political Editor John Pienaar

:02:38.:02:43.

is in Copeland. Well, like the storms yesterday, the

:02:44.:02:58.

campaign circus and the big-name politicians have moved on but

:02:59.:03:01.

yesterday's by-elections have left politics a little clearer than

:03:02.:03:06.

before. Labour held off one big challenge and just may have seen of

:03:07.:03:10.

the threat from Ukip in its heartland but losing here in Cumbria

:03:11.:03:14.

hurt Labour and Jeremy Corbyn badly and tonight, Theresa May and the

:03:15.:03:17.

Conservatives looked like a party which need fear no one. My report

:03:18.:03:24.

contained some flash photography. Sometimes party leaders seem to grow

:03:25.:03:30.

a little after a win. Theresa May 's victory appearance here today told

:03:31.:03:33.

you that she had used the Tories winning Copeland to claim she could

:03:34.:03:37.

reach people and parts of Britain no Tory leader has won Britain's

:03:38.:03:41.

Margaret Thatcher. This truly is a government that is working for

:03:42.:03:45.

everyone and for every part of the country. As for the idea that the

:03:46.:03:51.

Tories could win two B, that the government needs good opposition,

:03:52.:03:55.

try telling them that or her. Does Britain need a stronger opposition

:03:56.:03:59.

to hold you to account over Brexit? The opposition will do what they

:04:00.:04:02.

will do and what I am concerned about is what the Conservative

:04:03.:04:07.

government does. We are working for a country that truly works for

:04:08.:04:10.

everyone not just the privileged few. That is the message that people

:04:11.:04:15.

here have heard. Did you think that Copeland would vote Tory? No. We

:04:16.:04:20.

could dream of it. I have been a councillor for 20 something years

:04:21.:04:24.

and we dreamt one day... Nothing like this has ever happened. The

:04:25.:04:31.

Conservative Party candidate, 13,000, 748.

:04:32.:04:34.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. It was a big win. The first Win in a by-election

:04:35.:04:39.

by any government over its opposition in 35 years and in a

:04:40.:04:44.

place that has been Labour since 1935. It has been very clear,

:04:45.:04:49.

talking to people throughout this campaign that Jeremy Corbyn does not

:04:50.:04:55.

represent them. And this is Tory territory now, Labour folk do not

:04:56.:04:59.

like it and some feel they no reason why, Copeland depends on Sellafield

:05:00.:05:03.

and Jeremy Corbyn has opposed nuclear power. The nuclear probably

:05:04.:05:07.

had quite a lot to do with it because Jeremy Corbyn said he did

:05:08.:05:10.

not want it and maybe he did do a U-turn on that, but knows. The men

:05:11.:05:17.

have done no good when they have been prime ministers, so maybe a

:05:18.:05:23.

changes everything. No hope for Labour under Jeremy Corbyn? I don't

:05:24.:05:28.

think so. I have to back him because I am a Labour man. I think it is

:05:29.:05:37.

hopeless. Still can't been a safe seat for Labour but Jeremy Corbyn

:05:38.:05:42.

turned up he to celebrate holding out against Ukip. It is a message

:05:43.:05:47.

about the economy, about jobs, about this country but above all, it was a

:05:48.:05:52.

message that hope triumphs over fear. What about Copeland? He had

:05:53.:06:00.

already been dogged by that defeat all day. Our party mentorship is in

:06:01.:06:04.

good heart, it is very large and strong and we will be out again

:06:05.:06:07.

tomorrow and every other day campaigning to get the message

:06:08.:06:12.

across social justice in Britain. Yet the team Ukip in Stoke was a big

:06:13.:06:19.

relief to Labour. And a painful blow to Ukip and it's defeated candidate

:06:20.:06:24.

and leader. This seat was number 72 on our hit list, a lot more will

:06:25.:06:27.

happen, there is a lot more to come from us, we are not going anywhere,

:06:28.:06:32.

I am not going anywhere so therefore, we move on and our time

:06:33.:06:36.

will come. Paul Nuttall may not be on his way out as leader but his

:06:37.:06:41.

campaign wobbled and then failed and the questions being raised when Ukip

:06:42.:06:45.

lost Nigel Farage, did it lose its way? Those are beautiful! Just now

:06:46.:06:50.

Theresa May looks the biggest winner, ruling her party against

:06:51.:06:53.

weakened and divided opponents with an assurance that is almost regal.

:06:54.:06:59.

Well done indeed. I will see you on Monday. Back to business means back

:07:00.:07:04.

to Brexit and there is nothing easy about that. John Pienaar, BBC News,

:07:05.:07:06.

Copeland. As John mentioned, it wasn't just

:07:07.:07:08.

Labour who suffered defeat in yesterday's by-elections,

:07:09.:07:10.

Ukip struggled too. A fact particularly marked in Stoke

:07:11.:07:11.

on Trent, which had voted So, what next for Ukip

:07:12.:07:14.

and their leader Paul Nuttall? Alex Forsyth is in Stoke

:07:15.:07:17.

for us this evening. This should have been prime Ukip

:07:18.:07:31.

territory, almost 70% of the residence of Stoke voted to leave

:07:32.:07:35.

the EU during the referendum, Labour's candidate in this

:07:36.:07:39.

by-election backed Remain but still Ukip came second to him. They did

:07:40.:07:43.

improve on their performance in the General Election but the party fell

:07:44.:07:47.

far short of the significant breakthrough it had hoped for. The

:07:48.:07:54.

morning after a hard-fought campaign brought dawning realisation for a

:07:55.:07:57.

Ukip that they had been rejected by voters. The party had hoped for a

:07:58.:08:03.

big win. In Stoke more than two thirds of people voted to leave the

:08:04.:08:08.

EU but even where Brexit proved so popular, Ukip suffered defeat.

:08:09.:08:13.

People may have voted Brexit but it does not mean it Ukip. No, it does

:08:14.:08:18.

not and that is what Ukip is all about, Brexit. They have got no

:08:19.:08:23.

policies whatsoever whereas Labour had. Stoke has long been a Labour

:08:24.:08:29.

stronghold, a collection of West Midlands towns with a rich

:08:30.:08:32.

industrial heritage. A prime target for the Ukip leader who is keen to

:08:33.:08:36.

prove that the party can win over working people. But Paul Nuttall had

:08:37.:08:41.

a tough campaign, forced to quell claims he had lost close friends at

:08:42.:08:46.

Hillsborough. Senior figures say that did play a part but insist he

:08:47.:08:50.

is still the right man to lead Ukip. Was this a Ukip failure or a Paul

:08:51.:08:56.

Nuttall failure? This is a party failure. It is a party failure.

:08:57.:08:59.

Winning by-elections like this takes time and people have to get used to

:09:00.:09:06.

you as a party. You have been around for years! Yes, focused on one

:09:07.:09:10.

single issue, getting Britain out of the European union and we are now

:09:11.:09:12.

evolving into something bigger and we need to get that across to the

:09:13.:09:17.

electorate. This was a significant defeat, instead of proving it can

:09:18.:09:20.

win over disillusioned Labour voters, it is less struggling to

:09:21.:09:22.

explain what it stands for beyond Brexit. Its former leaders

:09:23.:09:45.

said the campaign failed to cut through on key issues. There is a

:09:46.:09:48.

debate in Ukip as to how strong we should be on the immigration issue.

:09:49.:09:51.

I feel we should own it. We will have to look at that and think.

:09:52.:09:53.

Worry tough enough and clear enough. In Stoke, local Ukip members admit

:09:54.:09:56.

that the party has to broaden its appeal, particularly given that the

:09:57.:09:58.

Conservatives in government have promised to deliver Brexit. There is

:09:59.:10:00.

no point in trying to dress up as reasonable what was a defeat.

:10:01.:10:02.

Compared with expectations. We need to press on. Our number one target

:10:03.:10:07.

was to get the UK out of the European union, that is what we

:10:08.:10:10.

campaign for, but that was only the first call, we have to move on and

:10:11.:10:14.

get our message across to people on issues other than the European

:10:15.:10:19.

Union. Having failed to do that here in Stoke, Ukip is once again

:10:20.:10:23.

searching for direction. Alex Forsyth, BBC News, Stoke-on-Trent.

:10:24.:10:26.

Our Deputy Political Editor John Pienaar is in Copeland this evening.

:10:27.:10:28.

Where do today's by-election results leave the main parties?

:10:29.:10:38.

Comparisons between Theresa May and Margaret Thatcher are very easily

:10:39.:10:44.

made and very easily overblown but there are some comparisons to be

:10:45.:10:50.

made. The ambition to reach out to blue-collar workers and voters and

:10:51.:10:53.

winning in Copeland backed up by some very rosy opinion polls of late

:10:54.:10:56.

will encourage some Conservatives to believe that that high ambition may

:10:57.:11:02.

not be unattainable. For Labour, for Jeremy Corbyn and those around him,

:11:03.:11:06.

there will be relieved that they have seen of this potentially

:11:07.:11:11.

existential threat from Ukip, but that is a long way from becoming a

:11:12.:11:15.

potential party of government. Now, that is a lot to do right there.

:11:16.:11:20.

Those who are opposed to Jeremy Corbyn in his party believes there

:11:21.:11:25.

is no hope while he is leader and they see the party, even though they

:11:26.:11:29.

may hang on to strongholds in the north and in the Midlands and

:11:30.:11:36.

elsewhere, carrying on, simply too weak to die and quite unable to win

:11:37.:11:39.

an election. In other words carrying on in a sort of twilight zone, in a

:11:40.:11:46.

perpetual state of opposition. John, many thanks.

:11:47.:11:47.

A woman who died after being hit by debris in Wolverhampton city

:11:48.:11:50.

centre during yesterday's storm has been named as Tahnie Martin.

:11:51.:11:52.

Storm Doris brought winds of nearly 100 miles per hour.

:11:53.:11:57.

It caused power cuts and travel chaos as flights were grounded

:11:58.:12:00.

A man has been jailed for six years for killing an innocent bystander

:12:01.:12:09.

with a single punch in an unprovoked attack. Trevor Timon, who's 31,

:12:10.:12:12.

admitted the manslaughter of Oliver Dearlove in Blackheath

:12:13.:12:14.

in south-east London last August, but was cleared of murder.

:12:15.:12:16.

The judge said the "senseless" attack had caused "untold misery"

:12:17.:12:19.

Police in Malaysia say a highly toxic nerve agent called VX has been

:12:20.:12:30.

found on the face of Kim Jong Nam- the murdered half brother

:12:31.:12:33.

Mr Kim died last week after two women accosted him briefly

:12:34.:12:41.

in a check-in hall at an airport in Kuala Lumpur.

:12:42.:12:44.

The nerve agent, VX, is classified as a weapon of mass

:12:45.:12:47.

Our correspondent Rupert Wingfield-Hayes reports

:12:48.:12:51.

Last week at Kuala Lumpur airport someone chose to attack Kim Jong Nam

:12:52.:12:58.

in full view of at least half a dozen CCTV cameras.

:12:59.:13:03.

It was a very deliberate and very public act of violence.

:13:04.:13:06.

It is the VX nerve agent which is a chemical weapon.

:13:07.:13:20.

Kim Jong Nam was walking across this busy departures hall last week

:13:21.:13:23.

Now we know what they choose to kill him, VX, one of the most

:13:24.:13:29.

Just a tiny drop, one hundredth of a gram would have

:13:30.:13:34.

VX is also banned under international convention yet someone

:13:35.:13:39.

decided to use it here in the midst of this international airport.

:13:40.:13:45.

VX is colourless and odourless with the feel of engine oil.

:13:46.:13:48.

It is so deadly it is classified by the United Nations as a weapon

:13:49.:13:52.

Symptoms include coughing, shortness of breath,

:13:53.:13:55.

South Korea says the North started producing chemical weapons

:13:56.:14:02.

in the 1980s and has up to 5000 tonnes of stocks.

:14:03.:14:10.

North Korea's young dictator Kim Jong Un already

:14:11.:14:12.

Some think he is now sending a chilling new message,

:14:13.:14:18.

by killing his older brother with the world's

:14:19.:14:20.

What they have demonstrated is that they do have a weapon

:14:21.:14:25.

of mass destruction, VX, which has the potential to kill

:14:26.:14:27.

They have shown that they want to be part of the weapons

:14:28.:14:35.

of mass destruction club and that they should

:14:36.:14:37.

And if we do nothing, then we're going to be

:14:38.:14:42.

This is probably far more dangerous than the nuclear weapons programme

:14:43.:14:47.

which has been much vaunted in public in the last 12 months.

:14:48.:14:55.

The more we learn, the more bizarre this story becomes.

:14:56.:14:58.

This is one of the alleged assassins taking part

:14:59.:15:00.

Nothing about her suggests she could be a killer.

:15:01.:15:10.

About the only thing we know for sure is that Kim Jong Nam must

:15:11.:15:13.

His body convulsed, his lungs gasping for air.

:15:14.:15:18.

Rupert Wingfield-Hayes, BBC News, in Kuala Lumpur.

:15:19.:15:26.

Our top story this evening - the Prime Minister declares

:15:27.:15:32.

the Copeland by-election a historic victory - as they

:15:33.:15:35.

I am in Hollywood among the setup for the Oscars where it could be the

:15:36.:15:49.

speeches and not the films that get everybody talking.

:15:50.:15:50.

And later in the hour on Inside Six Nations on BBC News,

:15:51.:15:53.

we are here in Edinburgh as we preview all of

:15:54.:15:55.

the crunch matches in Week 3 of the Championship.

:15:56.:16:09.

Claudio Ranieri has this afternoon spoken about his abrupt

:16:10.:16:11.

sacking by Leicester - saying "yesterday my dream died."

:16:12.:16:15.

Ranieri led Leicester to the Premier League title

:16:16.:16:17.

But he was dismissed last night after a string of poor results that

:16:18.:16:25.

has left the side just one point above the relegation zone.

:16:26.:16:27.

Our Sports Editor Dan Roan reports from Leicester.

:16:28.:16:32.

At least there is still some loyalty here in Leicester. Claudio Ranieri

:16:33.:16:38.

remained in demand today as both he and the city came to terms with his

:16:39.:16:42.

dismissal. The miracle worker out of work. I am very sad for them. I wish

:16:43.:16:50.

them all the best. Emotions among the neighbours were high. It is a

:16:51.:17:00.

disgrace. Claudio Ranieri! Having masterminded the least likely and

:17:01.:17:04.

most popular triumph ever seen in the Premier League, the Italian has

:17:05.:17:08.

become the victim of his most controversial sacking. Nine months

:17:09.:17:11.

ago, Ranieri was the toast of Leicester. Cheers! The phase has

:17:12.:17:19.

long gone. Today's press conference flat and the man who stood alongside

:17:20.:17:23.

Ranieri in the dugout, left to describe his mood. A bit shocked as

:17:24.:17:28.

we all were but his tone was no different. Very level-headed

:17:29.:17:36.

interns, that is football. Can you say he hadn't lost some parts of the

:17:37.:17:41.

dressing room? It is pure speculation, there was a lot of

:17:42.:17:44.

frustration because of results but he had lost the dressing room. The

:17:45.:17:49.

ruthlessness of the dismissal have shocked those who have spent a

:17:50.:17:52.

lifetime in the game. Former Leicester star Gary Lineker paid a

:17:53.:18:02.

very public ... Doubting his success and he is angry. To toss that all

:18:03.:18:07.

away on a premature decision and a disloyal and in many ways, a lack of

:18:08.:18:12.

gratitude, is quite gobsmacking. I am not ashamed to say that last

:18:13.:18:18.

night when I heard the news, I shed a tear for Claudio Ranieri, for

:18:19.:18:23.

football and my club. Ranieri's barely believable triumph won

:18:24.:18:27.

admirers across the world but since then, the euphoria has evaporated

:18:28.:18:30.

and the champions are languishing one point from the relegation zone.

:18:31.:18:35.

The owners said their club was in crisis and with survival on the

:18:36.:18:38.

line, decided to act. The fans are divided. 50% of the fans wanted him

:18:39.:18:45.

sacked because of the results but I would have kept him. Disgusting,

:18:46.:18:51.

after what he did last year. There were former rivals talking also.

:18:52.:18:56.

This decision I think has everyone in football united. Because it is

:18:57.:19:01.

something very difficult to accept, but at the same time, it is good for

:19:02.:19:08.

all of us to realise how football is. It wasn't long ago Ranieri

:19:09.:19:12.

helped bring this city to a standstill and many wanted him to

:19:13.:19:15.

stay forever. The journey has ended faster than anyone imagined. Tonight

:19:16.:19:22.

in a statement, Claudio Ranieri said his dream had died. Leicester City

:19:23.:19:28.

have to look forward, just 13 games left in order to salvage their

:19:29.:19:32.

Premier League status. Even if they manage to do it, one sense is that

:19:33.:19:36.

this sacking will forever be seen as a symbol of something rather

:19:37.:19:39.

unsavoury in the modern game and his departure from the world of sport

:19:40.:19:42.

will be seen as having lost something.

:19:43.:19:51.

A former suspect in connection with the murder of black teenager Stephen

:19:52.:19:57.

Lawrence is facing jail for his role in a ?4 million drugs plot.

:19:58.:20:01.

Neil Acourt is due to be sentenced at Kingston Crown Court alongside

:20:02.:20:03.

five other men for funnelling drugs between London and the

:20:04.:20:06.

The head of the Unite union, Len McCluskey has described

:20:07.:20:09.

a meeting with the chief executive of the French car giant PSA Group

:20:10.:20:13.

PSA - which makes Peugeot and Citroen cars -

:20:14.:20:17.

is in talks to take control of Vauxhall and Opel.

:20:18.:20:19.

That's raised concerns about the future of Vauxhall's

:20:20.:20:21.

factories at Ellesmere Port and Luton, which employ

:20:22.:20:23.

Kenneth Noye, who's serving a life sentence for murdering a man

:20:24.:20:30.

in a road-rage attack, has won a High Court battle

:20:31.:20:32.

over whether he gets moved to an open prison.

:20:33.:20:35.

Noye, who's 69, stabbed a man to death in 1996 on the M25 in Kent.

:20:36.:20:39.

He'd argued that it was unfair and irrational not to allow him

:20:40.:20:42.

Past problems are continuing to haunt the Royal Bank of Scotland.

:20:43.:20:51.

The bank - which is over 70% owned by the government -

:20:52.:20:55.

warned today that it made a loss of nearly ?7 billion last year.

:20:56.:20:58.

That's three times more than the loss they made the year before.

:20:59.:21:01.

Our Business Editor Simon Jack takes a look at what's happening at RBS.

:21:02.:21:06.

Not so much a lost decade as a decade of losses.

:21:07.:21:10.

Since then, 4 billion, 1 billion, 2 billion,

:21:11.:21:17.

6 billion, 9 billion, 3 billion, 2 billion and today, 7 billion.

:21:18.:21:21.

For the ninth time in a row, fines and compensation for sins

:21:22.:21:29.

of the past have laid waste to any profits made and further

:21:30.:21:31.

I haven't put a number out and I won't put a number out.

:21:32.:21:40.

My view is always talk to our people first, whether affected,

:21:41.:21:42.

and there will be job cuts in this organisation.

:21:43.:21:45.

There has to be given that over the next four years it will take

:21:46.:21:49.

?2 billion of cost out of this organisation to reshape it,

:21:50.:21:52.

But that is not going to happen quite yet.

:21:53.:21:57.

It is not over yet, there is a really big fine

:21:58.:22:00.

There is going to be more job losses but that will be coming

:22:01.:22:06.

across the banking industry as digitalisation takes place.

:22:07.:22:08.

But it is hiding a pretty decent performance from

:22:09.:22:11.

the high street bank. But unfortunately, it is going

:22:12.:22:13.

to take some time before that really shines through.

:22:14.:22:15.

I stood right here in 2008, I did not expect to still be

:22:16.:22:18.

here in 2017 reporting on yet another multi-billion pound loss.

:22:19.:22:21.

It was not supposed to take this long to fix and the fact that it has

:22:22.:22:25.

shows that no one really knew just how big a mess the world's

:22:26.:22:30.

biggest bank at the time had got itself into.

:22:31.:22:34.

In 2008, the government of today announced an emergency

:22:35.:22:37.

?45 billion bailout to prevent a complete collapse.

:22:38.:22:41.

Could things have been done differently?

:22:42.:22:45.

With the benefit of hindsight, it should have been fully nationalised,

:22:46.:22:48.

then broken up and used in the national interest.

:22:49.:22:52.

But the taxpayer is now stuck with the losses and it will be some

:22:53.:22:55.

years before it can be returned in a way that taxpayers

:22:56.:22:58.

The bank is much healthier today but with more losses yet to come,

:22:59.:23:05.

it seems certain we will be marking a full decade in the red

:23:06.:23:08.

This Sunday, the film industry's great and good will celebrate

:23:09.:23:16.

La La Land - a tribute to Hollywood itself -

:23:17.:23:22.

is widely expected to sweep the board.

:23:23.:23:24.

The ceremony is no stranger to controversy, and this year is set

:23:25.:23:27.

Our Arts Editor Will Gompertz is in Los Angeles and joins us

:23:28.:23:32.

It is all being put together at the moment for Sunday's Oscar show which

:23:33.:23:45.

I think might be one of the most interesting in modern times. Not

:23:46.:23:49.

just because of the films but because of the speeches. In these

:23:50.:23:53.

uncertain times across the world, particularly in America, what will

:23:54.:23:57.

winners choose to say on this most public of stages about the world in

:23:58.:24:06.

which their films reflect? In the past, in troubled times, there have

:24:07.:24:09.

been some really good speeches and some real howlers. I have been

:24:10.:24:13.

finding out what it takes to make a really great winners Oscars speech.

:24:27.:24:33.

Thank you with all my heart. Marlon Brando for the Godfather.

:24:34.:24:39.

But then Marlon Brando upped the speech-making game in 1973,

:24:40.:24:42.

And asking a Native American to explain why.

:24:43.:24:47.

He very regretfully cannot accept this very generous award. And the

:24:48.:24:57.

reasons for this being, the treatment of American Indian is

:25:02.:25:04.

this could be a vintage year for memorable Oscar speeches.

:25:05.:25:11.

If those making them follow the rules.

:25:12.:25:13.

First of all, you have to start with the hallmarks of what makes

So you have to speak with authenticity, you have

:25:17.:25:22.

to speak from the heart, you have to connect to the material

It is, though, a live show, so theoretically,

the Best Documentary award for Bowling for Columbine.

:26:22.:26:23.

There was a great amount of negativity about George Bush

who was the President at the time. His attack, though, was so personal

and so clearly biased that he was almost booed off

the dreaded wrap it up music. Time for a look at the weather.

:26:41.:26:49.

Here's Tomasz Schafernaker. Let's talk with a spectacular blue

:26:50.:27:07.

sky. This is from Cornwall today. The weekend, different story, it

:27:08.:27:11.

will probably look a little like the sky behind me. Wind and rain on the

:27:12.:27:16.

way but nothing like what we had yesterday. Looking pretty mixed this

:27:17.:27:20.

weekend. This is the sunshine and fine weather from early on but now,

:27:21.:27:25.

the clouds invading parts of the UK. Some rain has already moved through

:27:26.:27:31.

and it is pretty downhill as far as the weekend is concerned. Don't

:27:32.:27:35.

expect any blue skies through Saturday or Sunday. Rain splashing

:27:36.:27:39.

through and by the end of the night, dribs and drabs of rain anywhere and

:27:40.:27:43.

with that mild south westerly wind, so one good aspect. The rain coming

through and one area I want to point out through this weekend is actually

north-western areas of the UK. There will be rain in other parts of the

:27:55.:27:59.

country on and off and the further south and south east you are, the

:28:00.:28:03.

light it will be, but it is around this area, we will see bouts of rain

:28:04.:28:07.

waxing and waning through the weekend. There could be a little bit

:28:08.:28:17.

of flooding. By the end of Saturday, we could have a little bit of

:28:18.:28:24.

brightness across Scotland and Northern Ireland. And this is

:28:25.:28:28.

Saturday, it will be windy around the coast at times. Sunday will get

:28:29.:28:32.

very windy around these western approaches around the coasts of

:28:33.:28:38.

Wales. Slightly better, the south-east, so a bit of sunshine. A

:28:39.:28:40.

better weekend but not ideal. That's all from the BBC News at Six

:28:41.:28:47.

- so it's goodbye from me -
