One, we join the teams where you are. | :00:00. | :00:19. | |
The mother of a man found burned to death accuses the Met | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
of covering up her son's death in order to protect its reputation. | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
We've seen a leaked report from the Police watch dog demanding an | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
Also tonight, new attempts to encourage sex workers to | :00:31. | :00:34. | |

I'll be live at Tate Britain, where robots will be roaming the | :00:40. | :00:53. | |
galleries, giving you the chance to enjoy art in the comfort of your own | :00:54. | :00:55. | |
home. And we're on the red carpet with | :00:56. | :00:56. | |
Daniel Radcliffe for the premiere Good evening | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
and welcome to the programme. Kester David was a bus driver | :01:00. | :01:10. | |
and DJ, whose burnt body was found under a railway arch in | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
Palmers Green four years ago. In her first broadcast interview, | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
his mother has accused the Met of covering up his death | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
because he was a police informant. Scotland Yard say they | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
are still investigating. Tonight a leaked report | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
by the Police watchdog, seen by this programme, | :01:31. | :01:32. | |
will call for the Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan Howe to apologise | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
for the way the force handled Alex Bushill has this | :01:38. | :01:39. | |
exclusive report. 's David was a bus driver. His | :01:40. | :01:58. | |
family believe he was killed by a criminal gang. His charred body was | :01:59. | :02:07. | |
found next to the track`side palmers Green in 2010. He had been burned | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
alive, having been doused in petrol. His mother does not want her face | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
shown for fear of reprisals and believes The Met has conspired to | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
rob her of any chance of justice for her son. Very broken, very broken. | :02:20. | :02:29. | |
Yes, it has been like a living hell for the last four years. I look at | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
his picture, every time I look at it I would cry. It is the same for | :02:35. | :02:42. | |
everybody. Some of the boys, they can't read about it or talk about | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
it. The first police investigation into Kester David's murder said he | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
took his own life. A year later, an internal report said that | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
investigation amounted to a catalogue of errors and a failure of | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
duty. The commissioner ordered a new investigation. Last year, an | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
employment tribunal found the inspector had been treated unfairly | :03:06. | :03:07. | |
after revealing how the police failed to check CCTV footage, mobile | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
phone records and speak to witnesses. Now, and IPCC report is | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
calling on the Commissioner to apologise for those original | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
failings. This was the response of the Commissioner yesterday. I've not | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
yet seen the report, I was told about it this morning. Once I have | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
looked at the report, if we need to apologise, of course I will. But I | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
don't know what the report says. The Met has refused to comment on | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
whether Koester David was an informant or not, why CCTV was | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
overlooked showing him the night that he died at a service station | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
and why it took so long to speak to witnesses, one of whom said they | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
heard a man screaming no, and sounding scared. Not the actions, | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
the family say, of a suicidal man. It was about covering up the fact he | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
was a police informant and he was working for the police. That, I | :04:01. | :04:07. | |
think, all through, they have been covering up. The Met have said that | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
the investigation into Kester's death is in ongoing and anybody with | :04:13. | :04:20. | |
information should come forward. Alex, you have a copy of the report? | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
I do and it makes difficult reading for The Met. It details police work | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
that was not done or done badly. There is a failure to view the CCTV | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
footage, wrongly reporting the result of DNA tests, or DNA tests | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
that have been lost, and telling the coroner the wrong time of death. | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
This report does clear them of making these failings because they | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
were racially motivated. At the IPCC is now calling on the Commissioner | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
to make a formal apology to the family. Interestingly, it is asking | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
The Met to make it standard practice to tell anybody affected if the | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
officer subject to a complaint intends to retire. That is because | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
the two officers that the IPCC say are responsible for these failings | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
have retired, therefore escaping disciplinary proceedings. The IPCC | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
says there was a case to answer for gross misconduct. For the family, | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
that is one of the most upsetting aspects of the ordeal. | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
Lots more to come, including how a tooth infection kept | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
double Olympic gold medallist Mo Farah from the Commonwealth Games. | :05:28. | :05:39. | |
A technology firm which claims it's going to revolutionise parking | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
in the capital has just won backing from a major investment firm. | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
JustPark connects drivers looking for a space with homeowners | :05:48. | :05:49. | |
and others looking to make a bit of cash. | :05:50. | :05:51. | |
As the BBC's technology correspondent | :05:52. | :05:53. | |
Rory Cellan`Jones reports, it's the latest example of what's | :05:54. | :05:55. | |
We have all been there, scouring the streets for a parking space, getting | :05:56. | :06:09. | |
increasingly desperate. But this man says he has the answer, and app that | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
links drivers looking to park with anybody that would like to make | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
money by renting their space. I spotted a driveway close to a sports | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
stadium. It would have been so convenient if I could have parked | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
there, rather than a commercial car park. We just want to make every | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
single parking space available to be reserved in advance and just to save | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
or reduce the stress of parking. It is eight years since JustPark was | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
launched. With new backing from investors and a deal to put the app | :06:39. | :06:45. | |
in every Mini it is taking off. With a couple of tax, we are on the way | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
to someone's driveway. All sorts of organisations are profiting. This | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
church across from Euston station made ?40,000 in the last year, | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
offering eight spaces to all sorts of people. Tourist 's, but also | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
people coming to graduation ceremonies for the university, | :07:04. | :07:05. | |
visiting people in hospital. The profit that we are making is able to | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
be used to the benefit of maintaining the buildings. JustPark | :07:11. | :07:17. | |
is probably the most successful British example of a new trend, the | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
sharing economy, which involves taking underused resources and | :07:23. | :07:24. | |
sharing them with those that need them. The best known is America's | :07:25. | :07:31. | |
app which lets you take your spare room and share it with | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
holiday`makers. It is this new trend quite as caring and sharing as it is | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
cracked up to be? One technology pundit says firms like JustPark run | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
up against one big problem, regulation. Take somebody that has a | :07:43. | :07:48. | |
driveway in their house. They have spare capacity, they are looking to | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
make some money. How does that affect their neighbours? How does it | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
affect the council, the regulation and rules around them? Because it is | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
a new business world, those rules are not there yet. Hug's founder | :07:59. | :08:07. | |
believes he can transform the way parking works. If it means more cars | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
heading to central London, not everybody will share his enthusiasm. | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
A man who posted a YouTube video claiming there would | :08:15. | :08:16. | |
be a terror attack on the day the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
got married, has been jailed for two years and seven months. | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
Afsor Ali from Bethnal Green was found guilty at the Old Bailey | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
of three out of four counts of possessing terrorist material. | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
The 27 year`old tried to flee the country on Eurostar. | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
Nearly ?30,000 has now been raised for a Hospice in Woking, | :08:33. | :08:34. | |
after a cyclist died taking part in Sunday's Ride London event. | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
Kris Cook, who was 36, collapsed during the Surrey leg of the route | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
He was hoping to raise ?500 pounds for the Woking Hospice, | :08:41. | :08:47. | |
but since yesterday, more than 2,000 people have added donations. | :08:48. | :08:56. | |
Last month, Talha Ahsan from Tooting, | :08:57. | :08:57. | |
who'd admitted terrorism offences, was sentenced by a US court. | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
Due to the time he'd already spent in prison awaiting trial | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
But, weeks on, his family in south London say he's | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
still not been released and they want him back in London. | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
There is eight years of post to sort through when he comes home. The | :09:14. | :09:28. | |
family have kept thousands of letters sent to him after he was | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
extradited to America on terrorism charges. Last time we saw him, it | :09:33. | :09:39. | |
was the first time we saw him cry. We are really, really sad. Since | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
then, we have not seen him. The British poet, now 34, was accused of | :09:45. | :09:53. | |
helping a man run a terrorism website. US prosecutors said it was | :09:54. | :10:05. | |
used to raise funds for the Taliban. Talha Ahsan, who has Asperger's | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
syndrome, was held in solitary confinement for two years. He | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
admitted providing material support to terrorists as part of a plea | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
bargain and last month was sentenced to time already served. Now we live | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
in this state of unbearable, horrifying anxiety. We're not being | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
told when he will come home. Why should he be saving more of a | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
sentence when he has suffered enough already? Is in the middle of | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
America, we have no family or friends there. We don't know what is | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
happening. The family say they have not been told when he will be back | :10:38. | :10:43. | |
in Britain for security reasons. When Talha Ahsan returns to his home | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
in tooting, it will be with a criminal conviction for terrorism to | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
his name. Many will still welcome him back, because there are plenty | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
of people who think he has been unfairly treated. Campaigners spent | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
nearly a decade fighting against his extradition. Although never charged | :10:59. | :11:01. | |
with any offence in this country, he was held in prison for six years in | :11:02. | :11:08. | |
the UK, before being extradited. Liberty would like a fundamental | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
overhaul of the extradition system in the UK. It is unfair that people | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
like Talha Ahsan, accused of activities in the UK, are not | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
charged here, but sent abroad to stay in American maximum security | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
jails, regardless of any vulnerabilities or the lack of or | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
weak evidence in their cases. The Foreign Office say they are aware he | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
is being held in custody in the US but cannot confirm the date he will | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
be back for security issues. When he does return, the family say they are | :11:36. | :11:38. | |
worried about his mental state after nearly a decade in detention. | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
There's been a big rise in the number | :11:44. | :11:45. | |
Some centres have seen demand double this year compared to last. | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
Now, two food banks based in London are looking at different ways to | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
and help people avoid the need to use them in the future. | :11:54. | :12:02. | |
The Tower Hamlets food bank has had more than 2000 people in the last | :12:03. | :12:08. | |
year. They have seen a big jump in the number of people referred to | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
them for emergency help. Our food is donated by people who live and work | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
in Tower Hamlets... Summer brings a bigger challenge in an area that | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
already has one of the highest rates of child poverty in the UK. During | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
the holidays they don't have the free school meals for their | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
children, so it can be difficult to provide enough food for them. So, we | :12:28. | :12:37. | |
provide an additional service and that might be as simple as a free | :12:38. | :12:40. | |
summer scheme for their kids to go to, or it might be a professional | :12:41. | :12:42. | |
service if they are facing another crisis as well. The Trussell Trust | :12:43. | :12:45. | |
say they have handed out more than 21,000 food parcels in London | :12:46. | :12:47. | |
between April and June, double the previous year. They are going to | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
introduce financial advisers on hand at distribution centres. That is | :12:53. | :12:54. | |
what they will be doing in Hammersmith and Fulham, so when | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
people come and collect their food there will be an expert available to | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
offer financial advice, maybe stop people getting into future debt. It | :13:02. | :13:07. | |
means that food bank's become more than just about food. We are going | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
to pack enough for you to take home and prepare ten nutritionally | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
balanced meals. That might help people like Michael. He ran his own | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
business for seven years. He's been referred to the food bank for the | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
first time by the Jobcentre. We were embarrassed, but this is the | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
reality. It hurt me a lot, I didn't have no food, no coffee, nothing. | :13:31. | :13:37. | |
The food bank doing a very good job. If are struggling to pay debt... | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
Escaping debt is key for those wanting to avoid crisis food | :13:43. | :13:48. | |
supplies. Staff say having a financial adviser in the same place | :13:49. | :13:54. | |
can prevent many problems. Many end up being overwhelmed. Debt leads to | :13:55. | :13:57. | |
depression and other kinds of sickness. It leads to marital | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
breakdowns, family breakdowns. So, I think being able to help with the | :14:03. | :14:09. | |
financial advice, we should be to get there in early stages. The pilot | :14:10. | :14:12. | |
scheme will begin London in September. | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
Sex workers in London say they feel the capital | :14:17. | :14:18. | |
is increasingly dangerous, according to those behind a scheme | :14:19. | :14:20. | |
At least two rapes or violent attacks are reported each week | :14:21. | :14:27. | |
in London via the Ugly Mugs project, which allows those working | :14:28. | :14:29. | |
on the streets or in brothels to warn others about sinister clients. | :14:30. | :14:32. | |
Katharine Carpenter has been speaking to one worker | :14:33. | :14:35. | |
in the sex industry and we have disguised her identity. | :14:36. | :14:43. | |
London 2012. A chance to show off the capital. In a bid to clean up | :14:44. | :14:50. | |
the city ahead of the games, The Met raided over 100 brothels. Sarah had | :14:51. | :14:53. | |
been working at one of them in Camden. Suddenly she found herself | :14:54. | :14:55. | |
seeing clients somewhere she felt seeing clients somewhere she felt | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
much less safe. I had a client that was quite young and he was too rough | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
with me. He grabbed me around the neck. I screamed and the | :15:05. | :15:07. | |
receptionist came in and grabbed hold of him and threw him down the | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
stairs. Would you have reported an incident like that to the police? It | :15:12. | :15:17. | |
didn't enter my head to report them. If that happened and Ugly Mugs was | :15:18. | :15:21. | |
around, I would have reported it to Ugly Mugs. It is a scheme that | :15:22. | :15:25. | |
allows sex workers to report dangerous clients without having to | :15:26. | :15:28. | |
go to the police. Alerts are sent out to warn others of the danger. | :15:29. | :15:34. | |
Since it was launched in 2012, 224 incidents have been reported across | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
Greater London. 42 were alleged sexual assaults, including rape. | :15:39. | :15:41. | |
There were 82 incidents of violence and 100 reports of crimes including | :15:42. | :15:47. | |
theft, robbery and fraud. The charity said less than a quarter of | :15:48. | :15:50. | |
the sex workers who reported crimes to them were willing to make a | :15:51. | :15:53. | |
statement to the police. Sarah is not surprised. | :15:54. | :16:02. | |
They were like a bunch of cowboys. There were scared girls, I was one. | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
No`one from the Met was available for interview. They told us. . | :16:07. | :16:16. | |
One of the scheme's supporters says there is a will to improve things. | :16:17. | :16:23. | |
There does need to be a degree of consistency and a set of profession | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
al al standards that all police officers sign up to, wherever they | :16:28. | :16:30. | |
are in London. Ugly mugs is also helping for training for police | :16:31. | :16:33. | |
officers and the Met and the mayor's office has pledged ?20,000 to help | :16:34. | :16:35. | |

pain. I went for a run. Came back and I collapsed in the bath R I was | :17:38. | :17:43. | |
knocked out. I was no so much pain from my stomach. They called an | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
ambulance, who took me to hospital and I had to be airlifted to the | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
main hospital. They thought something was going on with my heart | :17:52. | :17:56. | |

seen him have previous years. He doesn't have that Mo of joking | :18:25. | :18:28. | |
around and laughing and naturally being himself. He is looking for | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
himself a little bit. Hopefully he will find it here. Here is Zurich, | :18:33. | :18:35. | |

started. It is important for the rest of the team here to show them, | :18:49. | :18:53. | |
you know `` look, I started here, if you work hard you can achieve more. | :18:54. | :18:57. | |

is to help keep newly`promoted QPR Thousands of Harry Potter fans have | :19:22. | :19:24. | |
flocked to Leicester Square this evening, to catch a glimpse | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
of actor Daniel Radcliffe, not as the little wizard, but in | :19:29. | :19:30. | |
his latest film called ?What If?? It's a romantic comedy | :19:31. | :19:33. | |
about medical school dropout, unlucky in love, and who once | :19:34. | :19:35. | |
again, falls for the wrong girl. Where did you guys meet? ? Hi. This | :19:36. | :19:50. | |
is my cousin. Yes. Thank you for being so gracious in victory. I will | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
give you my number of we should hang out. My boyfriend will be worried | :19:55. | :20:00. | |
about what happened to me Thanks for coming by. Are you trying to sleep | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
with my girlfriend. No worries, we are just talking. OK. Our reporter | :20:05. | :20:13. | |
Tarah we will somebody in Leicester Square and spoke to Daniel a few | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
moments ago. We saw you in intense roles recently. Why a romantic | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
comedy? I wanted the make a film that did not leave audiences | :20:23. | :20:27. | |
wondering why they wanted to see that film. I have wanted to do | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
comedy for sometime. This is a great skri. Hopefully it is translated | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
into a great film. We will see. It is for other people to decide. How | :20:36. | :20:39. | |
similar to the character, are you? Not particularly in terms of how he | :20:40. | :20:43. | |
deals with situations and relationships. I think I'm more | :20:44. | :20:49. | |
practical when it comes to romance. He is more of an idealist, really. | :20:50. | :20:53. | |
But I think probably similar sense of humours. This is the first time I | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
have ever played a modern character that is not also a wizard or is not, | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
you know, fighting ghosts or doing something like that. It is nice it | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
play a normal person. Some nudity in this film. We have seen that from | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
you before? It is nothing intentional. I am not somebody who, | :21:12. | :21:17. | |
um, I guess worries about t particularly. I have done it on | :21:18. | :21:21. | |
stage. Once you have done that, that rids you of nerves. It is not | :21:22. | :21:27. | |
something I say no to, I guess. Tell me about travelling from New York to | :21:28. | :21:30. | |
London. Where do you prefer living? What is better? I can't say. It is | :21:31. | :21:35. | |
almost like film and stage. I don't want to ever choose between them but | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
one always be my home. London is the place I grew up but there is | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
something about New York. I think New Yorkers pride themselves about | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
not caring if they see a celebrity which plays into having an easy life | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
there. I'm not going to be choosy. Hopefully I won't have to make a | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
choice in any time, soon. The news in London is belter. You have to | :21:57. | :22:01. | |
work so hard to find news of any kind in America. We will let you get | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
on. Thank you for talking to us. Thank you very much. You can see the | :22:06. | :22:11. | |
film from next week. Next | :22:12. | :22:23. | |
Tate Britain is launching a unique project using robots to | :22:24. | :22:25. | |
give people a chance to view some of its artworks from the comfort | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
Sonja Jessup is there now and can tell us how it's going to work? | :22:30. | :22:33. | |
Normally the Tait closes its doors at 6.00pm. We have seen the last of | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
the visitors trail off down the steps recently but from tomorrow | :22:39. | :22:41. | |
night for five nights, you will be able to have an after dark tour of | :22:42. | :22:45. | |
the galleries and yes w a robot guide. How does it work? Well, these | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
pictures were filmed by one of four robots. They will be moving around, | :22:50. | :22:53. | |
bringing 500 years of art to the comfort of your own home, via a | :22:54. | :22:57. | |
laptop. Some people will be able to log on and control the robots | :22:58. | :23:00. | |
themselves. Here is one of the team involved. It is perhaps more, in | :23:01. | :23:04. | |
some ways, like an unmanned vehicle or, a space probe or a submarine. It | :23:05. | :23:09. | |
is a medium between you and the gallery, for sure. It is not the | :23:10. | :23:13. | |
same as being there with your own ears and eyes. We can speak to Jane | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
Burton from Tate Britain. Thank you for joining us. Now this isn't | :23:18. | :23:22. | |
really the same, is it, as visiting the gallery in person? It is not, it | :23:23. | :23:27. | |
is true. It is going to be dark and mysterious. Actually we quite like | :23:28. | :23:30. | |
that idea, to give people the kind of experience that they can't get | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
when they come in, in the day. And who haven't dreamt about getting | :23:35. | :23:38. | |
into the gallery late in the night and being able to sneak around and | :23:39. | :23:42. | |
look at the art. Is part of the idea to widen the appeal to audiences who | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
wouldn't normally come in The reason we are doing this is we want it take | :23:47. | :23:51. | |
art it broad audiences to give them a taster of what Tate Britain has to | :23:52. | :23:55. | |
offer. It is part of celebrating digital crativity and using | :23:56. | :23:57. | |
technology to reach out online to the widest audience possible. | :23:58. | :24:00. | |
Briefly, how do you get involved? Do you go to the website? You go to the | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
website and you can see four views from the robots, robot dcam views. | :24:06. | :24:11. | |
If you want to go further and try to get a chance to steer a robot | :24:12. | :24:15. | |
around, you can ask to take control. You then leave your details, your | :24:16. | :24:18. | |
name and your location. The system will test your connection. Make sure | :24:19. | :24:22. | |
you have the right browser and a good connection. If you are lucky, | :24:23. | :24:26. | |
you will be popping on to a robot and driving it around. There are | :24:27. | :24:31. | |
in`built sensors, so no risks fs any collisions. | :24:32. | :24:35. | |
`` no risks of any. Now for a check on the weather. Is | :24:36. | :24:40. | |
there more sunshine on the way? , yes a fine today tomorrow but | :24:41. | :24:45. | |
earlier on, we still had the south`westerly breeze. The good news | :24:46. | :24:48. | |
is it has pushed on any showers. There have been a handful of them | :24:49. | :24:52. | |
today but more overcast moments. Towards this evening, there are | :24:53. | :24:55. | |
still a few showers strikeling through, not for everybody, of | :24:56. | :24:59. | |
course. Actually they do fade away fairly early. We are left with a | :25:00. | :25:04. | |
largely dry night with plenty of clear spells. Good news if you are | :25:05. | :25:10. | |
`` hoping to look out for the super moon that. Calms down through the | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
night. Temperatures down to 11 or 12. Yes, tomorrow is looking like a | :25:15. | :25:18. | |
much finer day altogether. A bright start. In fact, essentially a sunny | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
day really, tomorrow. So we have a handful of showers around. Certainly | :25:24. | :25:26. | |
not everybody seeing those, they are not looking too heavy either and | :25:27. | :25:30. | |
it'll be feeling warmer. That breeze has eased a lot. We are looking at | :25:31. | :25:35. | |
highs of 2 #2, perhaps even 23, but even feeling warmer in the sunshine | :25:36. | :25:39. | |
as well. `` highs of 22. Things change a little as we head towards | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
the end of the week. We have heavy showers on the way. It'll be less | :25:45. | :25:48. | |
breezy as well and feeling a bit cooler. So, if we look at Thursday, | :25:49. | :25:53. | |
first of all a bright start to the day, so not looking too bad first | :25:54. | :25:56. | |
thing. Then some heavy showers pushing through. | :25:57. | :26:00. | |
Now because we don't have the wind any more, they will be fairly | :26:01. | :26:03. | |
slow`moving and probably sticking with us, well into Friday. By the | :26:04. | :26:08. | |
end of Friday, we are looking at a much clearer picture. Those showers | :26:09. | :26:11. | |
moving away, so we might even get a fairly fine evening. | :26:12. | :26:15. | |
Because we have a ridge of pressure pushing through. As this stays with | :26:16. | :26:20. | |
us for Saturday, it is looking like a good day for the weekend. | :26:21. | :26:23. | |
Saturday, largely dry and fine but it is only a short`lived ridge, | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
because on Sunday, back to the showers and actually feeling cool | :26:28. | :26:31. | |
towards the beginning of next week. So, tomorrow looking like a fine | :26:32. | :26:35. | |
day. Messy for Thursday and Friday. But Saturday is definitely the day | :26:36. | :26:39. | |
to look forward to for the weekend, as it goes downhill from Sunday | :26:40. | :26:44. | |
onwards and certainly for next week. Oh, dear. Thank you very much. | :26:45. | :26:55. | |
