:00:00. > :00:07.Goodbye from me. Now we joined the BBC's news teams where you are.

:00:08. > :00:11.An investigation reveals Met Officers and staff breached data

:00:12. > :00:19.protection law hundreds of times, in some cases passing on information to

:00:20. > :00:24.criminals. They've been leak data or information to known criminals. Some

:00:25. > :00:27.involving sexual offences. Serious criminal acts. Scotland Yard says

:00:28. > :00:32.the offences were committed by a tiny percentage of its workforce.

:00:33. > :00:36.Also tonight: After a three`day Tube strike is suspended, we ask if the

:00:37. > :00:42.row over ticket office closures is over. On the campaign trail. Ed

:00:43. > :00:47.Miliband tells Londoners what he can offer them ahead of this month's

:00:48. > :00:52.elections. Plus, # I never thought it would happen

:00:53. > :00:57.with me and a girl from Clapham... The former frontman of Squeeze on

:00:58. > :01:07.going solo for 15 years and his love of South London.

:01:08. > :01:13.Hello and a very good evening. A major investigation into the

:01:14. > :01:16.Metropolitan Police has revealed officers and staff breached data

:01:17. > :01:22.protection law 300 times over the last five years. In two cases,

:01:23. > :01:25.confidential information was passed on to criminals. Now, there are

:01:26. > :01:30.calls for Scotland Yard to review its security procedures. The Met

:01:31. > :01:39.says the number of offenders is a tiny percentage of its workforce.

:01:40. > :01:43.The Metropolitan Police is entrusted to uphold the law. Today, we learnt

:01:44. > :01:48.how, in some cases, their own officers broke it. Abusing their own

:01:49. > :01:51.IT systems and protocols and breaching data protection laws.

:01:52. > :01:55.There have been 300 police breaches during nearly five years dating back

:01:56. > :01:59.to 2009. Two`thirds were subject to formal action being taken, including

:02:00. > :02:04.criminal prosecutions. Many cases involve using work computers or

:02:05. > :02:07.smartphones to access online pornography. One police officer made

:02:08. > :02:12.sexual comments about children on a website. A Special Constable posted

:02:13. > :02:17.racist comments online. Amongst the most serious offences were, on two

:02:18. > :02:22.separate occasionses officers leaking information to criminals,

:02:23. > :02:28.include to a none gangster with links to firearms `` occasions and

:02:29. > :02:34.known. This begs a simple question ` why did they escape criminal

:02:35. > :02:42.prosecution? Leaking data or known information to known criminals.

:02:43. > :02:47.Serious criminal acts. Therefore, they should be suspended from duty

:02:48. > :02:56.there and then. They should have a chance to prove if they are innocent

:02:57. > :02:59.or guilty in a court of law. No`one from the Met was available for

:03:00. > :03:03.comment today. They released a statement in which they said they

:03:04. > :03:11.had systems in place to learn any lessons needed. They weren't on to

:03:12. > :03:17.say the `` went on to say the number of employees disciplined for mis se

:03:18. > :03:21.represents 0.01% of those employed by the Met. Others argue that the

:03:22. > :03:28.nature of this request is misleading in itself. We know a lot of them are

:03:29. > :03:32.fairly trivial because some of the punishments are words of advice. The

:03:33. > :03:37.reality is they are not all serious cases. By lumping them altogether it

:03:38. > :03:41.make it is sound as if the cases are all of a serious nature. The

:03:42. > :03:46.breaches are embarrassing for the Met. There are calls for the force

:03:47. > :03:51.to review how it uses, stores and controls confidential information.

:03:52. > :03:56.Lots more to come tonight, including: Could this pair of

:03:57. > :04:08.pyjamas really help reduce the risk of MRSA? The latest trial at a south

:04:09. > :04:12.London hospital. Millions of commuters breathed a shy of relief

:04:13. > :04:16.after the three`day Tube strike was suspended. The planned walk`out was

:04:17. > :04:19.because of a dispute over ticket office closures. Both the union and

:04:20. > :04:23.London Underground are claiming significant progress has been made.

:04:24. > :04:26.Where does this leave the prospect of future strikes? Here's our

:04:27. > :04:32.transport correspondent, Tom Edwards. At last, some respite for

:04:33. > :04:41.commuters. It's unlikely this is the end of the dispute. The Tube strike

:04:42. > :04:45.is not on. Unnecessary chaos. London is busy enough. Keep the trains

:04:46. > :04:51.working. With new technology we are making it easier for our customers

:04:52. > :04:54.to plan and pay for their journsees. An agreement to start the biggest

:04:55. > :05:00.changes in the history of the Tube. It seems all ticket offices will

:05:01. > :05:04.close. 950 job losses. Part of the new deal, no redeployed staff will

:05:05. > :05:09.have their pay cut. Nobody will lose any money in this programme. There

:05:10. > :05:14.is no compulsory redundancies of course. Voluntary severance is open.

:05:15. > :05:18.Anybody who wants a job can still have a job. There had been will be a

:05:19. > :05:22.station by station review. Transport bosses say it won't include ticket

:05:23. > :05:28.offices. The RMT union say it is will make a case to save them.

:05:29. > :05:32.Today, the Mayor mentioned again another contentious area, driverless

:05:33. > :05:39.trains. Ticket offices though will be shut. We will close 260 odd

:05:40. > :05:44.ticket offices. Let us be clear about that. As we have said, at

:05:45. > :05:50.mainline stations, really big stations, there will be of course a

:05:51. > :05:53.role for visitor information centres or whatever. The traditional ticket

:05:54. > :05:57.office is going to be a thing of the past. We haven't predetermined the

:05:58. > :06:02.outcome. The people of London will be really worried about the Mayor of

:06:03. > :06:05.London getting involved in very delicate situation and inflaming the

:06:06. > :06:13.situation. He shouldn't be doing that. He should allow us to have

:06:14. > :06:18.proper discussions and meaningful (inaudible) without determining the

:06:19. > :06:22.outcome. The RMT is in the middle of a leadership contest. London

:06:23. > :06:26.Underground ran half of all it services. It claimed today it would

:06:27. > :06:29.with have imagined managed more this week. There is concern that

:06:30. > :06:33.passengers have missed out on having a say. I would like to see the Mayor

:06:34. > :06:36.talking to the trade unions. Like to see London Underground consulting

:06:37. > :06:40.with commuters. Consulting with experts and with those who use the

:06:41. > :06:46.Tubes to make sure of the best service possible that is affordable.

:06:47. > :06:49.If you want an idea of what the Tube could look like in future. Look at

:06:50. > :06:55.Paris. There are ticket offices, but only at the main stations. I'm used

:06:56. > :07:05.to this kind of machinery. It's not an issue to not have the ticket

:07:06. > :07:12.agent to buy tickets. It's better to have people selling tickets. There

:07:13. > :07:16.is less and less human contact. You put your money in and get a ticket.

:07:17. > :07:21.That is what you want no. This dispute still has the potential for

:07:22. > :07:25.more strikes in the future. Tomorrow is here now `` Tom is here now. Good

:07:26. > :07:30.news for the short`term. This process is far from over? I don't

:07:31. > :07:33.think anyone at the RMT will claim it as a victory. I get the

:07:34. > :07:37.impression there isn't really the appetite for more strikes over this

:07:38. > :07:40.particular issue, ticket office closures. At best they have managed

:07:41. > :07:45.to get pay protection. These close sure of the ticket offices, that

:07:46. > :07:48.whole process is still going to be going on. I think this is just the

:07:49. > :07:55.beginning. That is one way of looking at it. TFL have to cut their

:07:56. > :08:00.budget by ?4.2 billion by 2020. For example, we have another dispute on

:08:01. > :08:05.Friday over pay and pensions. Automated trains. That has also been

:08:06. > :08:08.discussed today. That will be fiercely opposed. Commuters, I

:08:09. > :08:16.think, will fear this is just the start. OK. Thank you. Detectives are

:08:17. > :08:21.appealing for information following the death of a teenager in Brixton.

:08:22. > :08:26.17`year`old Alim Uddin was found with stab wounds at Tilford House

:08:27. > :08:30.yesterday evening. He was taken to hospital, but later died. A

:08:31. > :08:36.16`year`old boy has been arrested in connection with his murder. A pair

:08:37. > :08:40.of running shoes signed by Usain Bolt has been stolen in Croydon. The

:08:41. > :08:44.trainers, worth around ?2 o o 0,000, were on display at a commercial

:08:45. > :08:50.property. They were framed alongside a photo of the athlete after he set

:08:51. > :08:56.a new world record five years ago. The luxury how tell chain,

:08:57. > :09:01.Shangri`La, has opened its first UK hotel in London in the Shard. The

:09:02. > :09:04.built on the 34th to 52nd floor, it hopes to attract travellers

:09:05. > :09:09.particularly from Asia. All rooms will have ceiling to floor glass

:09:10. > :09:14.windows. The most expensive suite cost ?14,000 a night. Ed Miliband

:09:15. > :09:18.has been in Croydon drumming up support ahead of the local and euro

:09:19. > :09:21.elections. The visit marks the launch of Labour's campaign to win

:09:22. > :09:25.key seats in the capital. In the second of our interviews with the

:09:26. > :09:28.party leaders, our political correspondent, Karl Mercer, has been

:09:29. > :09:38.speaking to Mr Miliband about how he plans to attract the London vote.

:09:39. > :09:46.Campaign launches can be strange affairs. Part politics, but plenty

:09:47. > :09:48.of cheer leading. Ladies and gentlemen, the future Prime

:09:49. > :09:53.Minister, my good friend, Ed Miliband. In a hand`picked room of

:09:54. > :09:56.Labour supporters, Ed Miliband was very much preaching to the

:09:57. > :10:00.converted. His big promise today was a crackdown on empty homes in London

:10:01. > :10:05.with more powers promised for local councils. We are saying we will

:10:06. > :10:10.increase the premium that councils can charge from 50% of council tax

:10:11. > :10:14.to 100%. Charge it after a shorter period and end the nonsense of

:10:15. > :10:19.people putting a chair in a home saying it's no longer empty. We have

:10:20. > :10:22.massive housing crisis in London. Labour is talking about it and

:10:23. > :10:26.showing how we will act. This is an important part of it. It's

:10:27. > :10:30.scratching the surface of empty homes. If you say to a millionaire

:10:31. > :10:34.developer we will charge you ??2,000 a year instead of ?1,000 it won't

:10:35. > :10:38.make a huge difference. You are talking about 60,000 properties? We

:10:39. > :10:41.need to build more homes. We are building 20,000 homes a year in

:10:42. > :10:45.London at the moment, we should be building at least 60,000. We have to

:10:46. > :10:49.go further on that. On your empty homes policy, you say it's a

:10:50. > :10:55.scandal, 60,000 empty homes sitting here in London. Press releases,

:10:56. > :10:59.13,000 are in Tory boroughs. 47,000 of these empty homes are in Labour

:11:00. > :11:02.boroughs, which means Labour boroughs are sitting there not doing

:11:03. > :11:06.enough to bring these empty homes back into use, does it not? Not at

:11:07. > :11:09.all. What is happening is that Labour authorities are using the

:11:10. > :11:14.maximum powers that they have. They are doing everything they can, the

:11:15. > :11:20.government has offered them the powers. That is why you need a

:11:21. > :11:25.Labour government. Earlier in the day he had been in Streatham,

:11:26. > :11:28.clearly shocked at London's rising how prices. There was familiar

:11:29. > :11:32.territory too in his message today. We will bring back the 50p rate of

:11:33. > :11:36.tax for those earning over ?150,000. It is the right thing to do to

:11:37. > :11:40.reverse David Cameron's millionaire's tax cut. Are you not

:11:41. > :11:44.in danger of taxing those, the wealth creators in London, who

:11:45. > :11:48.generate the wealth that makes this city and the British economy work I

:11:49. > :11:51.think everyone in London is a wealth creator. I don't think wealth is

:11:52. > :11:57.created by a few people at the top of our country. That is a big

:11:58. > :12:01.difference. It's an argument we will have over the next year between us

:12:02. > :12:04.and the Tories. They think the wealth creators are a few people who

:12:05. > :12:10.work in our banks. Financial services is important. People who go

:12:11. > :12:14.out in Croydon, do 60 hours a week, are as much wealth creators as

:12:15. > :12:18.people at the top of our society. The Labour leader was among friends,

:12:19. > :12:21.this time in Tower Hamlets. Reaching out beyond his party remains a

:12:22. > :12:26.challenge. Some people will see you as being the problem to Labour's

:12:27. > :12:30.success. They will look at you and say ` this is not a Prime Minister

:12:31. > :12:34.in waiting. They can't imagine you leading the country. Let us have

:12:35. > :12:39.that argument over the next year. I will look forward to that argument.

:12:40. > :12:41.What you have seen with me over the last three`and`a`half years is

:12:42. > :12:46.someone making arguments about how our country needs to change. Whether

:12:47. > :12:49.it's on energy prices or the private rented sector or the living wage and

:12:50. > :12:54.the cost`of`living crisis, it's me who has been leading the way. He

:12:55. > :13:02.says he is leading the way. Will the voters follow on May 22nd? Now, as

:13:03. > :13:06.we've been hearing, a violent armed robber, nicknamed the Skull Cracker,

:13:07. > :13:09.has absconded from an open prison in Kent. Michael Wheatley failed to

:13:10. > :13:15.return from day release. He's said to have been spotted in Twickenham

:13:16. > :13:19.last night. In 2002 he was given 13 life sentences for carrying out a

:13:20. > :13:22.spring of bank raids, ordered to serve at least eight years. The case

:13:23. > :13:29.has raised questions about how and when prisoners are released. To

:13:30. > :13:37.discuss this, with me now is jult Lyon from the Prison Reform Trust

:13:38. > :13:41.and Mark Reckless, the Conservative MP for Rochester who would like to

:13:42. > :13:46.see changes to sentencing. People will be shocked that someone who was

:13:47. > :13:48.given 13 life sentences is on day release, should they be shocked?

:13:49. > :13:52.What they should be thinking about is, how on earth do you release

:13:53. > :13:57.somebody who served a long time in prison? How do you do that safely

:13:58. > :14:02.and sensibly? There are only ` in a prison population of about 84,000,

:14:03. > :14:05.there are about 40 people who will never come out of prison. When

:14:06. > :14:08.people are being prepared for release, what is the best way of

:14:09. > :14:12.preparing them for release and what is the best way of reducing

:14:13. > :14:16.reoffending? Many people would argue that supervising people in open

:14:17. > :14:20.prisons releasing people on temporary licence. Assessing them,

:14:21. > :14:25.helping them to find jobs and safe housing is the best way to do it. It

:14:26. > :14:29.does also raise the question, doesn't it, of how many years is

:14:30. > :14:34.enough? Is eight years enough, for example, if someone has been given

:14:35. > :14:39.13 life sentences? I would argue very strongly it is not. Your

:14:40. > :14:44.viewers hearing 13 life sentences for armed robbery, yet the minimum

:14:45. > :14:47.tariff is set only at eight years. The judge has to look at the

:14:48. > :14:51.individual circumstances, but I think in parliament we need to set

:14:52. > :14:55.the guidelines for sentencing. At the moment we say what the maximum

:14:56. > :15:00.sentence is, which is rarely applied. Occasionally, on knife

:15:01. > :15:05.crime, there was a minimum sentence when someone is convicted a second

:15:06. > :15:11.crime. If there are to be guidelines they should be set by parliament,

:15:12. > :15:19.accountable to the public so we get sentences what the public want to

:15:20. > :15:23.see. The problem is, a began goal, they are seenor judges. I trust the

:15:24. > :15:27.discretion of the individual trial judge. If that will be constrained

:15:28. > :15:29.and there will be guidelines they need to be set and approved by

:15:30. > :15:34.parliament so they reflect what the public want. You have questioned

:15:35. > :15:39.obviously sentencing itself. Returning to this issue of day

:15:40. > :15:43.release. This case aside, why do you think that open prisons are

:15:44. > :15:46.important? Well, the whole idea of day release is that people get the

:15:47. > :15:51.chance to work out in the community. I have two prisoners working in my

:15:52. > :15:55.office on a daily basis. They are hard`working, diligent, they have

:15:56. > :15:59.been doing very well. A lot of the big building companies have people

:16:00. > :16:04.working on that same basis. So that means that somebody is going into

:16:05. > :16:07.proper paid employment. They will become a taxpayer and take

:16:08. > :16:11.responsibility. That is what you want really. The President of the

:16:12. > :16:15.Chief Association of Police officers said he was surprised at this

:16:16. > :16:19.decision of allowing day release and freedom? Well, at some point people

:16:20. > :16:22.get towards the end of their sentence. The design of open prison

:16:23. > :16:27.is actually for people who have served a long sentence in a closed

:16:28. > :16:32.environment. If you like, another world. To try and bring them into

:16:33. > :16:36.our world, here, they need some transition. They need help to do

:16:37. > :16:39.that. Really, you have to focus on cutting reoffending rates. That

:16:40. > :16:43.seems to be one of the best ways of doing it. Do you agree, or do you

:16:44. > :16:47.think there needs to be a wider look at the use of day release?s

:16:48. > :16:50.ministers have mentioned that today? Is We don't want to be leaving

:16:51. > :16:53.someone at the prison door with a small amount of money and no

:16:54. > :16:57.connections to society. I do think you want to try and work with people

:16:58. > :17:01.while they are in prison to rehabilitate them and make sure the

:17:02. > :17:05.work carries on to the outside. If someone is released it makes sense

:17:06. > :17:08.to have a transitional period. What is most important is that people

:17:09. > :17:12.have the length of the sentence that the public need to get the

:17:13. > :17:16.protection they deserve. Sentences have got longer and longer. We have

:17:17. > :17:18.to be careful not to over do it. Not sure in this case. We have to leave

:17:19. > :17:26.it there. Thank you. Is Still to come tonight: Welcoming

:17:27. > :17:28.the Queen to Essex ` as Her Majesty joins the congregation at Chelmsford

:17:29. > :17:46.Cathedral. Next: can a pair of pyjamas really

:17:47. > :17:49.help reduce infections like MRSA? They were designed by an 18`year`old

:17:50. > :17:52.student from Croydon using copper, which is known for its antiseptic

:17:53. > :17:55.qualities. Now doctors at a south London hospital are trialling the

:17:56. > :17:58.use of the fabric on patients. Charlotte Franks has been speaking

:17:59. > :18:04.to one mother who believes the pyjamas may have saved her life.

:18:05. > :18:08.Looking at this pair of the jammers, it is hard to believe that they may

:18:09. > :18:13.have saved Gemma's life after she was left fighting a serious

:18:14. > :18:18.infection following a Caesarean almost two years ago. It was itchy,

:18:19. > :18:24.red, really sore. I tried different types of antibiotics. I felt

:18:25. > :18:29.absolutely awful, no energy. Doctors said it was the worst case of MRSA

:18:30. > :18:34.they had ever seen. A family friend heard that Gemma was ill and brought

:18:35. > :18:39.her an unusual gift that she had invented at school. She had been

:18:40. > :18:44.researching antibacterial fabrics for a project, and designed a pair

:18:45. > :18:47.of pyjamas made with copper. The copper invades cells with bacteria,

:18:48. > :18:53.so that diminishes the bacteria. Gemma was desperate for any sort of

:18:54. > :18:57.remedy, and I gave her the pyjamas and she actually used it directly

:18:58. > :19:03.against the wound. And within a couple of days, there were some

:19:04. > :19:07.great effects. Throughout history, metals have been used for their

:19:08. > :19:11.healing properties. Many of us think nothing of using a silver plaster

:19:12. > :19:16.like this to help heal a wound or a cut. Like silver, copper also has

:19:17. > :19:20.anti`septic qualities, but the difference is, copper is much

:19:21. > :19:25.cheaper. Not long after trying the pyjamas, Gemma's wound started to

:19:26. > :19:28.heal. Nearby Croydon university hospital heard about her case and

:19:29. > :19:34.was so impressed that they have taken steps to clinic to trial

:19:35. > :19:37.them. If it works, we will use it routinely on all our post`operative

:19:38. > :19:48.wounds, and also following childbirth, we could use it instead

:19:49. > :19:51.of conventional dressings. Amber is now at university and working on new

:19:52. > :19:55.designs which she hopes will help more people like Gemma, who is still

:19:56. > :19:59.convinced that the pyjamas saved her life.

:20:00. > :20:04.Hundreds of people turned out to welcome the Queen and the Duke of

:20:05. > :20:07.Edinburgh to Essex. They joined a congregation at Chelmsford Cathedral

:20:08. > :20:17.to celebrate the centenary of the diocese of Chelmsford. Richard

:20:18. > :20:25.Daniel reports. It was a day of celebration. A day

:20:26. > :20:31.when a new city prepared to welcome the monarch. God save the Queen!

:20:32. > :20:37.Today was the climax of celebrations to mark the centenary of the

:20:38. > :20:44.Chelmsford diocese. They have manicure the lawn with some nail

:20:45. > :20:49.scissors. We are proud and happy. There is a fantastic buzz about the

:20:50. > :20:51.place. Finally, the moment they had been waiting for. The Queen and Duke

:20:52. > :20:59.of Edinburgh, accompanied by the Lord Lieutenant, by their way to the

:21:00. > :21:04.Cathedral's West door. In his address, the bishop told the

:21:05. > :21:09.congregation the Chelmsford diocese was the most diverse and most

:21:10. > :21:13.glorious in the country. Joking, the only way is six. The diocese in

:21:14. > :21:17.chums that which covers five London boroughs and Essex, is the

:21:18. > :21:23.second`largest in the country. 100 years ago, it was part of somebody

:21:24. > :21:28.else's even larger diocese. And for the King family, waiting since six

:21:29. > :21:32.this morning, their patience was rewarded. She smiled at us and said

:21:33. > :21:37.that was very kind when we gave her the flowers. Two years ago, the

:21:38. > :21:41.Queen granted Chelmsford city status in her diamond jubilee year. Today,

:21:42. > :21:47.the people of the new city said thank you.

:21:48. > :21:51.He was the frontman of the '70s band Squeeze, whose hits include Cool for

:21:52. > :21:54.Cats and Up the Junction. Singer`songwriter Glenn Tilbrook has

:21:55. > :21:59.been going solo for the past 15 years, writing and recording at his

:22:00. > :22:02.home in southeast London. That's where Helen Drew caught up with him

:22:03. > :22:09.as he prepares to go on tour this summer.

:22:10. > :22:15.Squeeze had many hit singles and 13 albums in the late 1970s, '80s and

:22:16. > :22:19.'90s. The man who wrote Cool For Cats is Glenn Tilbrook, one of the

:22:20. > :22:25.band's main singers. Now solo, he has just released his third album.

:22:26. > :22:29.It is an acoustic`based album, and the music comes from all over the

:22:30. > :22:43.place. It is a much overused word, but it is properly eclectic. It

:22:44. > :22:49.sounds unlike anything I have done before. I am very pleased. The album

:22:50. > :22:53.is called Happy Ending and was recorded at his Charlton studio,

:22:54. > :22:56.half a mile from where he was born. I like it round here. I like the

:22:57. > :23:04.combination of beauty and grottiness in equal measure. In a completely

:23:05. > :23:09.non`patronising way, I really enjoy that. Has it influenced your music?

:23:10. > :23:13.I think it does influence my music and lyrics.

:23:14. > :23:15.# I never thought it would happen with me and the girl from

:23:16. > :23:25.Clapham...# Glen has toured around the world, both with and without

:23:26. > :23:30.Squeeze. He has also worked with many famous names. Johnny Depp, yes.

:23:31. > :23:37.He is a Squeeze fan, and one of Johnny's people rang up and said he

:23:38. > :23:41.would like to get together. So we got together, and then I asked if he

:23:42. > :23:44.would be on the record, and he and Vanessa Paradis, they were together

:23:45. > :23:49.at the time, came and each did something for the record. And they

:23:50. > :23:53.were really lovely people. That is not bad, Johnny Depp asking you to

:23:54. > :23:58.get involved on a record! These things happen few and far between,

:23:59. > :24:01.but I cherish them when they happen. Glen Tilbrook is touring the country

:24:02. > :24:09.this summer and autumn, including several London gigs.

:24:10. > :24:21.It's that time of the evening for a look at the weather and bank holiday

:24:22. > :24:24.sunshine. Not normally words you find in a sentence together. But

:24:25. > :24:28.yes, we had some, and it has filtered through to the new working

:24:29. > :24:34.week, with temperatures reaching 20 degrees in central London today. It

:24:35. > :24:38.is going to turn increasingly unsettled during the rest of the

:24:39. > :24:44.week. Low pressure is over us at the moment, so we do have a few showers

:24:45. > :24:50.around across the Thames estuary and Essex at the moment. There is a line

:24:51. > :24:55.that will drag itself close to London, but mostly going up west and

:24:56. > :25:01.north of London over the next few hours. But there will be dry and

:25:02. > :25:06.clear whether to be had, and temperatures will be holding in

:25:07. > :25:09.double figures overnight. We start the day tomorrow with sunny spells

:25:10. > :25:17.again. It is still unsettled weather, so we may see some showers,

:25:18. > :25:20.particularly in the afternoon. But you can see the numbers in the

:25:21. > :25:26.breeze. That is a strong south`westerly that is pushing the

:25:27. > :25:29.showers through, so even if you get a heavy one, they should be whizzing

:25:30. > :25:35.through and you should return to sunny skies. Temperatures are bit

:25:36. > :25:40.cooler, but that is where it should be at this time of year. So far so

:25:41. > :25:46.good, but later in the week, we will not be able to avoid those weather

:25:47. > :25:51.systems. One comes through for Thursday, giving us quite a dousing

:25:52. > :25:54.of rain. And then the next weather system comes through on Saturday,

:25:55. > :25:59.bringing heavyweight and probably strong winds as well `` heavy rain.

:26:00. > :26:05.So enjoy the sunshine while it is their tomorrow, because there will

:26:06. > :26:09.be quite a wet day on Thursday, showers around on Friday, and for

:26:10. > :26:13.the start of the weekend, it will be wet, but it should whiz through

:26:14. > :26:19.quickly, because there will be a breeze. Bit of everything this week.

:26:20. > :26:25.That is it for now. More on the day's stories on our website. Asad

:26:26. > :26:28.Ahmad will be back with our latest news. Watching and have a lovely

:26:29. > :26:59.evening. Bye`bye. at the European elections

:27:00. > :27:02.on May the 22nd.
