:03:26. > :03:27.of organising funerals are well aware of the limitations

:04:51. > :04:53.room as you come through the door. When work is finished here, all
:04:54. > :04:56.of the flats will look like this. Around two`thirds will be used
:04:57. > :04:59.for social housing, And they'll all be kitted out
:05:00. > :05:10.with the latest mod cons. I don't think any building this size
:05:11. > :05:13.has been cladded with the cladding we have got here. It is a very
:05:14. > :05:16.modern cladding. I don't think that the windows here have been used on

:06:08. > :06:21.with David Braine. Good evening. High`pressure is
:06:22. > :06:26.sticking with us. There is more fine weather for the rest of the
:06:27. > :06:31.Castlereagh fine weekend. We will see some subtle changes, but the dry
:06:32. > :06:37.day tomorrow with some warm sunshine. Overnight tonight, lots of
:06:38. > :06:45.clear skies. Quite hazy first thing tomorrow morning, with some shallow
:06:46. > :06:49.mist quickly clearing. By the time we get into the afternoon, we should
:06:50. > :06:56.seek temperatures of 20 Celsius quite widely. The warmest spot in
:06:57. > :07:00.Jersey, seeing 70 Fahrenheit. A breeze developing from the
:07:01. > :07:06.north`east during the latter half of the leading. More cloud as we move
:07:07. > :07:12.towards the weekend, but it is still fine and dry. An easterly breeze
:07:13. > :07:15.developing and temperatures holding up at around 21 Celsius in the
:07:16. > :07:23.sunshine. Cooler along the coastline. Night`time temperatures a
:07:24. > :07:30.bit lower with the clear skies, but holding up at around 13 Celsius.
:07:31. > :07:33.Coming up, the full forecast for the United Kingdom, but from the team
:07:34. > :07:35.here, it is good night and I will leave you with a
:07:36. > :07:36.too bad for the next few days. Out of London, now the national
:07:37. > :07:43.forecast. Good evening. A little bit of mist
:07:44. > :07:47.and fog in the coming few mornings. Apart from that, we are set fair.
:07:48. > :07:51.This high pressure has been drifting in through the day. It will stick
:07:52. > :07:54.around through the week and into the weekend. So the rest of this week
:07:55. > :07:58.looks very good indeed, a lot of dry weather in the forecast. This is
:07:59. > :08:01.what we saw earlier today, a lovely afternoon across England and Wales,
:08:02. > :08:05.lots of sunshine, high level cloud drifting south through the evening.
:08:06. > :08:08.Essentially overnight, many of us dry, with clear skies. Light winds
:08:09. > :08:15.as well that. Combination will lead to the mist and fog forming, mainly
:08:16. > :08:21.across northern and western areas. 10 or 11 in towns and cities. In the
:08:22. > :08:23.countryside temperatures down to three or four degrees. Rural
:08:24. > :08:29.Northern Ireland and rural Scotland could be close to freezing. : In the
:08:30. > :08:33.north of Scotland thicker cloud keeping temperatures up and
:08:34. > :08:36.producing the odd spot of rain. Elsewhere, it's a dry start. Extra
:08:37. > :08:41.cloud for eastern Scotland and England. We have fog patches to
:08:42. > :08:45.contend with. I don't think it will be overly dense. It could be in one
:08:46. > :08:51.or two places. Not too much fog in the south-eastern corner. If you
:08:52. > :08:52.don't see fog through the morning, you should see sunshine. Any fog you
