:00:11. > :00:21.My starting point is to protect Scotland's interests and to protect

:00:22. > :00:26.a relationship with the EU. Support for Scotland in the European

:00:27. > :00:28.parliament - we have a report from Brussels, where

:00:29. > :00:31.Nicola Sturgeon is due tomorrow. Also on the programme: One

:00:32. > :00:33.of the three panel members on the Scottish child abuse inquiry

:00:34. > :00:45.quits, accusing the government The baby Asher scandal - the

:00:46. > :00:48.leadership of Aberdeen City Council increasingly under pressure after

:00:49. > :00:51.Monday's damning report -- the baby ashes scandal.

:00:52. > :00:54.And Andy Murray makes a flying start to Wimbledon,

:00:55. > :01:05.breezing through to the second round in straight sets.

:01:06. > :01:10.MSPs have given a mandate to the First Minister so she can

:01:11. > :01:12.seek to protect Scotland's relationship

:01:13. > :01:18.A process of shuttle diplomacy will now begin,

:01:19. > :01:20.with Nicola Sturgeon going to Brussels tomorrow.

:01:21. > :01:22.Labour, the Greens and the Liberal Democrats backed the Government,

:01:23. > :01:25.although the Conservatives abstained, citing concerns

:01:26. > :01:27.about another Scottish independence referendum.

:01:28. > :01:37.Our Political Editor Brian Taylor was watching the debate.

:01:38. > :01:45.Outside Parliament, marshalled by Greens, demonstrators make their

:01:46. > :01:48.point. We are European and we are staying European, and that's the

:01:49. > :01:55.message we expect to hear with as much unity as possible from inside

:01:56. > :01:58.that Parliament. Yes, but how? Inside the corridors of devolved

:01:59. > :02:04.power, Nicola Sturgeon is searching for answers. She said of Scotland

:02:05. > :02:10.could maintain you links, it could build an economic lead over the rest

:02:11. > :02:12.of the UK -- if it could maintain EU links. It is my intention to

:02:13. > :02:16.maintain access to the single market links. It is my intention to

:02:17. > :02:21.for Scotland. If Scotland does find a way to maintain a relationship

:02:22. > :02:23.with the EU, as I am determined we will, Scotland will become an even

:02:24. > :02:29.more attractive place to do business. The First Minister has

:02:30. > :02:33.asked the principle of Glasgow University to head an expert panel

:02:34. > :02:37.seeking ideas for sustaining EU links. Ms Sturgeon said today's

:02:38. > :02:43.debate was emphatically not about independence. But the Tories scented

:02:44. > :02:47.an emerging threat to another union, that of the UK. You do not dampen

:02:48. > :02:51.the shock waves caused by one referendum by lighting the fuse for

:02:52. > :02:54.another menorah by saying that the economic impact of leaving one union

:02:55. > :02:58.means you should sever ties with a greater union whose value to trade

:02:59. > :03:05.eclipses the former money times over. And Leave supporter Oliver

:03:06. > :03:08.Mundell went further. Behind the seemingly good intentions lie is a

:03:09. > :03:14.deliberate malice. If they were serious about building consensus and

:03:15. > :03:18.negotiating in good faith, they would have taken a second referendum

:03:19. > :03:24.off the table. In turn, Willie Rennie attacked the Tories. He said

:03:25. > :03:28.hard-working families would suffer. It is ordinary people on low and

:03:29. > :03:35.modest incomes who will lose. These are the victims of this crisis.

:03:36. > :03:38.Labour's Kezia Dugdale tried to understand why people voted Leave

:03:39. > :03:44.while condemning the leaders of that campaign. The Leave campaign

:03:45. > :03:51.contained some of the worst dog whistle racism and xenophobia I have

:03:52. > :04:01.heard in my life. But that does not make every Leave voter a xenophobe,

:04:02. > :04:06.or a right-winger. Yes, 92, no, zero, and 31 abstentions. The motion

:04:07. > :04:09.is therefore agreed. In the vote, Nicola Sturgeon secured her mandate

:04:10. > :04:10.to open direct talks with the EU, with only the Conservatives

:04:11. > :04:13.abstained in. Nicola Sturgeon will be in Brussels

:04:14. > :04:15.tomorrow to meet officials and canvass support for her case

:04:16. > :04:18.to keep Scotland within the EU. There was plenty of goodwill

:04:19. > :04:21.towards Scotland on show at this morning's meeting of

:04:22. > :04:23.the European Parliament, but can Our political correspondent Glenn

:04:24. > :04:32.Campbell reports from Brussels. Coming together to work out how best

:04:33. > :04:37.to part. As David Cameron arrived in Brussels for Brexit talks with EU

:04:38. > :04:40.leaders, the European Parliament was debating the UK's decision to

:04:41. > :04:44.withdraw, with one Scottish representative highlighting the

:04:45. > :04:51.Remain vote in Scotland and appealing to MEPs for help to

:04:52. > :04:55.maintain Scotland's EU links. Colleagues, there are a lot of

:04:56. > :05:00.things to be negotiated. We will need cool head and warm hearts. But

:05:01. > :05:16.please, remember this. Scotland did not let you down. Please, I beg you,

:05:17. > :05:20.do not let Scotland down now. And outside the chamber, this former

:05:21. > :05:26.Belgian Prime Minister who is meeting Nicola Sturgeon tomorrow

:05:27. > :05:30.backed continuing EU membership for Scotland if it votes for

:05:31. > :05:33.independence. If they decide to be independent, they decide to be

:05:34. > :05:39.independent. And if they want to stay in the European Union, they

:05:40. > :05:45.can. It is their decision. Stay in, without having to join a queue to

:05:46. > :05:50.get in? Yeah. They are in for the moment, so there is no problem on

:05:51. > :05:54.that side. But this analyst who is now advising the Scottish Government

:05:55. > :05:58.on Brexit thinks some EU member states would be nervous about

:05:59. > :06:03.Scottish independence. Especially a country like Spain, with a

:06:04. > :06:10.secessionist movement in Catalonia and the Basque country, but also in

:06:11. > :06:13.other countries around Europe, where you have regions which at least have

:06:14. > :06:19.a tendency towards secession, for example, Belgium. The First Minister

:06:20. > :06:24.has made clear she is prepared to explore all options to protect

:06:25. > :06:26.Scotland's relationship with the European Union, including

:06:27. > :06:31.independence. She is seeking direct talks with the governments and

:06:32. > :06:35.institutions of the EU, and they will begin here in Brussels

:06:36. > :06:36.tomorrow, when Nicola Sturgeon comes to the parliament to meet its

:06:37. > :06:39.president, amongst others. I'm joined by our political

:06:40. > :06:43.editor Brian Taylor. Brian, while the EU aftermath

:06:44. > :06:46.is raging across the UK, it seems the situation

:06:47. > :06:48.is even more complex here, as it's enmeshed with

:06:49. > :07:01.the independence debate? It is. And to use the phrase that

:07:02. > :07:04.Nicola Sturgeon has been using, it is on the table. It remains on the

:07:05. > :07:08.table alongside whatever alternatives can be devised, either

:07:09. > :07:12.by Nicola Sturgeon's new expert group, or in direct talks with

:07:13. > :07:17.European institution or perhaps in cohort with the UK Government. I

:07:18. > :07:22.have spoken to a lot of people today in Holyrood in parliamentary

:07:23. > :07:28.positions and also within government, and I find very few who

:07:29. > :07:30.think that anything short of an independence referendum and ultimate

:07:31. > :07:32.think that anything short of an independence can secure the goals

:07:33. > :07:36.that Nicola Sturgeon has. She doesn't just want a vague

:07:37. > :07:41.association with the European Union, she wants to be in the European

:07:42. > :07:48.Union. What does she hope to achieve in Brussels tomorrow? It is very

:07:49. > :07:59.early days. At this stage, she says what she is hoping to do is simply

:08:00. > :08:03.to alert European leaders and put on their radar the fact that Scotland

:08:04. > :08:09.voted yes and wants to stay. She simply wants to emphasise that at

:08:10. > :08:15.this date and then move on to prolonged negotiations. She seeing

:08:16. > :08:18.the parliament's resident tomorrow. The president of the Council, Donald

:08:19. > :08:23.Tusk, has said he has no time tomorrow to see her. At this point,

:08:24. > :08:33.it is simply flagging up the point that Scotland voted yes and wants to

:08:34. > :08:34.stay in. At Westminster, the turmoil continues.

:08:35. > :08:36.The Scottish Labour leader Kezia Dugdale has said it's

:08:37. > :08:38.difficult for Jeremy Corbyn to continue as Labour leader

:08:39. > :08:47.High Speed two I am the leader of the Scottish Labour Party. I took

:08:48. > :08:50.this job around the same time that Jeremy Corbyn was elected the UK

:08:51. > :08:57.Labour leader. We have a similar mandate. If I had just lost 80% of

:08:58. > :09:01.my parliamentary colleagues, I simply could not do my job. I think

:09:02. > :09:02.it is now extremely difficult for Jeremy Corbyn to continue.

:09:03. > :09:04.Our correspondent David Porter is at Westminster.

:09:05. > :09:10.Physically and metaphorically, the pressure on Jeremy Corbyn?

:09:11. > :09:15.Physically and metaphorically, the storm clouds are gathering here at

:09:16. > :09:19.Westminster this evening, and in particular for Jeremy Corbyn. Those

:09:20. > :09:24.comments by Kezia Dugdale mean that she is the most senior Labour

:09:25. > :09:28.elected figure to publicly question whether Mr Corbyn can continue to do

:09:29. > :09:33.his job. Those comments by Kezia Dugdale were prompted by a vote at

:09:34. > :09:34.Westminster this afternoon in which three quarters of Jeremy Corbyn's

:09:35. > :09:38.Westminster this afternoon in which own MPs voted against him, basically

:09:39. > :09:42.Westminster this afternoon in which saying they do not have confidence

:09:43. > :09:46.in him as Labour leader. He has said he will carry on because he has the

:09:47. > :09:52.support of the membership of labour at large. But it does seem now that

:09:53. > :09:56.a challenge to him is inevitable. In the last couple of days, 40 or 50 of

:09:57. > :10:02.his front bench team have resigned. As far as Labour MPs are concerned,

:10:03. > :10:08.and it now seems a growing number of MSPs, he is unelectable and he is

:10:09. > :10:09.opposed by most of those in Parliament.

:10:10. > :10:12.And we're hosting a special debate, What Now For Scotland?",

:10:13. > :10:14.about the EU vote and the implications for Scotland next

:10:15. > :10:17.Monday night at 7 o'clock right here on BBC One.

:10:18. > :10:20.If you're interested in applying to be in the audience

:10:25. > :10:30.website for more details - www.bbc.co.uk/reportingscotland.

:10:31. > :10:34.One of the three members of the Scottish Child Abuse inquiry

:10:35. > :10:38.has resigned from the panel, blaming the Scottish Government

:10:39. > :10:41.for interfering in its work and threatening its independence.

:10:42. > :10:44.Our reporter Steven Godden is here to tell us more.

:10:45. > :10:56.This is the inquiry that was set up last year to investigate the

:10:57. > :11:00.historical abuse of children in care. It has already been the source

:11:01. > :11:04.of tension, some survivors believing that its remit isn't wide enough.

:11:05. > :11:07.Today, we have had more trouble. A member of the independent panel,

:11:08. > :11:13.Professor Michael Lamb from the university of Cambridge, has

:11:14. > :11:16.resigned. He did so in a letter to the Education Secretary, John

:11:17. > :11:22.Sweeney. He accuses the Scottish Government of interfering, of

:11:23. > :11:27.delaying the opponent of staff and of questioning a supposedly

:11:28. > :11:30.independent panel. He says the Scottish Government's actions have

:11:31. > :11:35.doomed the inquiry, leaving him with no choice but to step down. Strong

:11:36. > :11:38.stuff from him and from the Scottish Government as well. They say they

:11:39. > :11:43.are grateful to Professor Lamb for his work, but that they reject his

:11:44. > :11:47.comments. They say their primary focus is on supporting the inquiry,

:11:48. > :11:50.and they say that survivors have been invited to a ministerial

:11:51. > :11:53.meeting to discuss its progress and that that will take place next week.

:11:54. > :11:56.Three children and an adult are still receiving hospital

:11:57. > :11:57.treatment in Glasgow following Sunday's rollercoaster

:11:58. > :12:02.Two of the boys, aged 11 and 12, are still said to be

:12:03. > :12:07.Three patients at Wishaw General Hospital will be discharged today.

:12:08. > :12:10.All were taken to hospital after the Tsunami ride at M's

:12:11. > :12:18.Police in Lanarkshire are treating as attempted murder the shooting

:12:19. > :12:22.of two men on a footpath in Hamilton around 2.30 yesterday afternoon.

:12:23. > :12:25.The men, who are both in their twenties, are in hospital,

:12:26. > :12:27.described as being in a serious but stable condition with face,

:12:28. > :12:31.Police Scotland's major investigation team is in

:12:32. > :12:35.They say this was a targeted attack and those injured

:12:36. > :12:45.Pressure is mounting on the leadership of

:12:46. > :12:47.Aberdeen City Council after it was heavily criticised

:12:48. > :12:49.for cremating the bodies of babies with unrelated adults.

:12:50. > :12:53.Some bereaved parents have described the authority as having a lack

:12:54. > :12:56.Its chief executive is still refusing to answer questions.

:12:57. > :13:08.It was a life cut short after just a month. Little Scott Wells died from

:13:09. > :13:11.It was a life cut short after just a cot death and his ashes were never

:13:12. > :13:16.returned. Like many others, his parents now know it's possible that

:13:17. > :13:20.he was cremated with an unrelated adult, and through three

:13:21. > :13:23.investigations, Aberdeen City Council has done nothing to support

:13:24. > :13:27.investigations, Aberdeen City them. I'm not surprised with the way

:13:28. > :13:31.the council have acted. They need to get in touch with the parents who

:13:32. > :13:36.are affected by this. They need to start answering the questions that

:13:37. > :13:40.have now been opened up, more by the result of the report. Yesterday, the

:13:41. > :13:43.council's chief executive Angela Scott offered an apology, but

:13:44. > :13:50.refused to answer the many questions still hanging. How complicit was the

:13:51. > :13:54.authority in the cover-up? Why weren't practices investigated

:13:55. > :14:00.fully? Why have parents been left so alone? The national investigation

:14:01. > :14:04.followed the scandal at the Morton whole cemetery near Edinburgh, where

:14:05. > :14:09.babies' ashes were scattered without their parents' knowledge. The report

:14:10. > :14:14.focused on 14 crematoria across Scotland, but Aberdeen was by far

:14:15. > :14:19.the worst. And this lawyer says their handling of parents' grief has

:14:20. > :14:22.been equally shocking. It is an entirely different attitude that

:14:23. > :14:26.Aberdeen City Council have taken to other councils and crematoria we are

:14:27. > :14:31.working with. They have taken a very shut down, drawbridge up, closed

:14:32. > :14:33.approach, which shows no empathy to our clients. We have tried again

:14:34. > :14:36.today to speak to the chief our clients. We have tried again

:14:37. > :14:42.executive of Aberdeen City Council, but were told she was out of town.

:14:43. > :14:47.Her predecessor, Valerie Watts, who now works in Northern Ireland, has

:14:48. > :14:52.not returned our calls. The elected leader says the chief executive

:14:53. > :14:57.enjoys her full confidence. She's also declined requests to speak to

:14:58. > :15:01.us. Under mounting pressure, the chief executive will face

:15:02. > :15:10.councillors tomorrow, after which we are told she will finally take

:15:11. > :15:17.questions. The Education Secretary has announced a radical plan for

:15:18. > :15:20.Scotland's schools, including national assessments for primary

:15:21. > :15:24.pupils. He said he would also be sending inspectors into every

:15:25. > :15:29.Scottish local authority to ensure improvements are made. Our political

:15:30. > :15:37.correspondent joins us now from Holyrood. How has this gone down?

:15:38. > :15:42.This was a nuanced speech, but it is essentially a power grab. He is

:15:43. > :15:46.talking about sending inspectors into each of Scotland's 32 local

:15:47. > :15:51.authorities. The new ones behind that seems to be that what you have

:15:52. > :15:55.done so far on your watch in terms of managing schools has not been

:15:56. > :16:01.good enough. There is a sweetener for teachers in that he talks about

:16:02. > :16:04.reducing paperwork and bureaucracy. But he also says they will plough on

:16:05. > :16:10.with national assessment, despite the threat of industrial action

:16:11. > :16:12.potentially from those teachers who are concerned that this will lead to

:16:13. > :16:17.potentially from those teachers who targets and league tables across

:16:18. > :16:20.schools. What we can expect from local authorities is that they will

:16:21. > :16:25.not be happy about this. Education falls within their remit, but the

:16:26. > :16:28.Scottish Government is saying that Scotland currently has an education

:16:29. > :16:32.gap in terms of the attainment of those from poorer areas as compared

:16:33. > :16:37.to those from wealthier areas. They say this is not acceptable. But

:16:38. > :16:40.Swinney said things are out of kilter. They looked at examples from

:16:41. > :16:45.across the world including schools in New York, where schools, parents

:16:46. > :16:52.and teachers are far more involved in the overall process. And that is

:16:53. > :16:56.something they are keen to use in Scotland. But the local authorities,

:16:57. > :17:02.this will not go down well and formerly in the education units,

:17:03. > :17:02.there will still be concerned about national assessment across the

:17:03. > :17:12.country. attention is inevitably turning

:17:13. > :17:15.to the role of the Scots Among the horrendous casualties,

:17:16. > :17:18.one Scottish division suffered the greatest losses -

:17:19. > :17:20.yet most of its men didn't even They were the men of

:17:21. > :17:23.the Tyneside Scottish battalions, among them the grandfather

:17:24. > :17:25.of our Social Affairs When his country needed him in 1914,

:17:26. > :17:41.Sunderland shipyard worker Jack When his country needed him in 1914,

:17:42. > :17:42.answered the call. With family connections in Aberdeen, he

:17:43. > :17:49.volunteered for a newly formed Italian. Jack along with the rest of

:17:50. > :17:54.the 4,000 men who joined the Tyneside Scottish was sent over the

:17:55. > :17:59.top in the Battle of the Somme. It was a disaster. 60,000 men killed in

:18:00. > :18:02.a day. The Scottish division suffered more casualties than any

:18:03. > :18:08.other, well over half their strength killed, injured or missing. Today,

:18:09. > :18:12.it is these cadets in Newcastle carrying the name of the Tyneside

:18:13. > :18:18.Scottish, a golden thread linking them to the men who fought at the

:18:19. > :18:22.Somme. Of all the volunteer battalions raised as part of Lord

:18:23. > :18:27.Kitchener's new army, only the Tyneside Scottish retained its name

:18:28. > :18:31.and cap badge in the day's army. A link between these young soldiers

:18:32. > :18:35.and my grandfather who was wounded in the Somme 100 and years ago. The

:18:36. > :18:40.cadets who were the Tyneside Scottish badge on their all more

:18:41. > :18:45.have researched their illustrious history. You can has this to the

:18:46. > :18:50.younger generation. They would have to go over that top and face those

:18:51. > :18:57.lips and it is like a life and death situation. We just get told to wake

:18:58. > :19:02.up at six o'clock in the morning and I complain, they were told to a.m.,

:19:03. > :19:06.every single night. Many of those who joined as connections North of

:19:07. > :19:11.the border. Others were keen to embrace the fighting traditions of

:19:12. > :19:15.the Scots which live on. It has this international recognition factor,

:19:16. > :19:22.the idea of being a Scottish soldier and having that heritage still means

:19:23. > :19:26.something. Perhaps it is inevitable the name of the Tyneside Scots would

:19:27. > :19:30.live on. Their motto is, harder than hammers. While you could break a

:19:31. > :19:32.hammer, you could never break the spirit of the Tyneside Scots.

:19:33. > :19:38.Time to get up to date with the sports news from Rhona.

:19:39. > :19:43.Time today for Andy Murray to begin this year's Wimbledon campaign,

:19:44. > :19:45.and it was against another British player.

:19:46. > :19:50.So did it all go as smoothly as expected for the world's number two?

:19:51. > :19:52.Well, our reporter - Kheredine Idessane -

:19:53. > :19:58.is standing in the rain at the All England Club.

:19:59. > :20:06.Yes, good evening from Wimbledon. The weather has turned nasty. This

:20:07. > :20:10.wet stuff was a distant forecast earlier on when Andy Murray came on

:20:11. > :20:15.the Centre Court hoping to get his Wimbledon campaign off to the best

:20:16. > :20:22.possible start. Centre stage on Centre Court, but would that the any

:20:23. > :20:27.opening-night nerves? Stroll with the other actor in this or British

:20:28. > :20:33.drama would not hold the Spotlight? No Robin for the world two

:20:34. > :20:37.initially. -- problem. If the assistant coach has hay fever, he

:20:38. > :20:41.could be in for a long fortnight on the Wimbledon grass. No allergies

:20:42. > :20:46.for Andy as the first set was claimed in well under half an hour.

:20:51. > :20:57.a mismatch on paper and the all England court -- the All England

:20:58. > :21:02.Club's best kept lawn. Stockport's most famous son is bred Perry. The

:21:03. > :21:06.latest tennis player from the town did his best to pay tribute. But in

:21:07. > :21:10.under one hour, Liam Broady was a set away from the Wimbledon

:21:11. > :21:16.trapdoor. He saw flashes of brilliance. But by far the greatest

:21:17. > :21:22.consistency and variety was from the start. A lesser-known Brit battled

:21:23. > :21:26.bravely but in just under one hour start. A lesser-known Brit battled

:21:27. > :21:34.and three quarters, Andy Murray was safely through two rounds two. Both

:21:35. > :21:40.actors left the stage. Andy Murray's curtain call is against a player

:21:41. > :21:45.from China's Taipei. We have never played each other before. We

:21:46. > :21:50.practised a lot and it is not that easy playing somebody that you know

:21:51. > :21:53.so well. I did all right. So a straight sets win for Andy Murray,

:21:54. > :21:58.exactly what he would have wanted. He is back in action on Thursday

:21:59. > :22:05.against the Chinese Taipei player. He is inside the top 100 so it is

:22:06. > :22:10.more than a test -- of a test than Liam Broady. He not Andy Murray out

:22:11. > :22:17.of the Beijing Olympics in 2008 but do not expect a bit of that.

:22:18. > :22:20.The new manager has made his first signing.

:22:21. > :22:22.Celtic have signed Moussa Dembele from Fulham on a four-year deal,

:22:31. > :22:33.The coach of Olympic badminton player Kirsty Gilmour says it's

:22:34. > :22:35."ridiculous" that he won't be with her in Rio.

:22:36. > :22:37.Two-time Olympian Chris Bruil has coached Gilmour to qualification

:22:38. > :22:47.But, as Jane Lewis reports, the Dutchman has criticised

:22:48. > :22:49.the policy of the sport's governing body, which means he won't

:23:02. > :23:07.has to compensate. Getting her from 15th in the world, from 37 this time

:23:08. > :23:13.last year. Jeremy Hunt time Olympian in self, he will not be in Rio as a

:23:14. > :23:17.coach. -- Jeremy Hunt time. Everybody can think about that is

:23:18. > :23:22.the best for Kirsty. It is just the system you have here in the UK. Do

:23:23. > :23:27.you have that in Holland? Of course not. Does that work better? We do

:23:28. > :23:30.laugh about it, I think it is ridiculous. The Performance Director

:23:31. > :23:55.John Austin said... Working with Chris has been really

:23:56. > :24:00.good over the last couple of years but inevitably, I will be working

:24:01. > :24:06.with the GB coaches for the Games. Which is a bit of a change. But

:24:07. > :24:09.ready to work with them down there and we have had some experiences at

:24:10. > :24:15.the other training grounds to get ready. Kirsty Gilmour seems relaxed

:24:16. > :24:19.with the situation, her coach is not convinced. Could his complaint reads

:24:20. > :24:23.to a change of thinking? No, there is a system and they will not change

:24:24. > :24:28.that. I can only make sure she has the best preparation of for her

:24:29. > :24:32.Olympics. And I think we take it in the most positive way that we can.

:24:33. > :24:39.Frustrating, though? Of course. Frustrating for him and a time for

:24:40. > :24:40.focus or her. Apologies, all this talk of GB

:24:41. > :24:44.separation. Thank you! Now here's Shelley Joffre

:25:21. > :25:29.Cloudy and great with outbreaks of showery rain. This evening, showers

:25:30. > :25:33.for a time. -- cloudy and grey. The weather front coming in from the

:25:34. > :25:38.Atlantic on westerly winds. That is the case for the next couple of

:25:39. > :25:41.days. We have seen impressive shower clouds, this is from a weather

:25:42. > :25:45.watcher in the Highlands. Cloudy for most of the evening although showers

:25:46. > :25:49.gradually will ease through the night. We will see clearer spells

:25:50. > :25:54.developing. Showers widespread but becoming mainly confined to the

:25:55. > :25:57.North through the night. Some clearer spells developing full

:25:58. > :26:01.Sandman and Southern parts. Temperatures holding on to double

:26:15. > :26:16.with showers in the North. This is a weather front into the south-west.

:26:37. > :26:39.heavy showers and thunder and temperatures in the midst tied

:26:40. > :26:43.teams. Central and Southern areas, we have a weather front that pulls

:26:44. > :26:45.away into the evening to allow some brighter spells to develop further

:26:46. > :26:50.across the West through to the evening. This is that weather front

:26:51. > :26:55.clearing the way and it becomes dry for a time but there is another

:26:56. > :27:00.weather front waiting for Thursday, later in the day. Thursday could

:27:01. > :27:03.south, another mixture of brighter spells and sunshine and also

:27:04. > :27:08.scattered heavy showers and the winds will pick up a bit, so a fresh
