:01:38. > :01:44.forward to get involved with sport Good afternoon. Welcome to the BBC
:01:44. > :01:48.News at 1pm. The exodus has begun as thousands of athletes begin to
:01:48. > :01:54.leave the Olympic Park. More than 26 million people watched the
:01:54. > :01:58.Closing Ceremony on television, as the Olympic flame was finally
:01:58. > :02:02.extinguished this morning Lord Coe thanked the athletes for creating
:02:02. > :02:09.moments of heroism and heartbreak. He thanked the spectators for their
:02:09. > :02:18.moments of generousty and the volunteers for being the best ever.
:02:18. > :02:22.James is in a rather empty Olympic Park for us. Two things London had
:02:22. > :02:26.to get right - security and transport. Two big challenges which
:02:26. > :02:30.could have threatened the success of the Games. They were one of the
:02:30. > :02:37.biggest strengths came through - that is its people, both the
:02:37. > :02:42.volunteers and the spectators. They ended with a good old sing
:02:42. > :02:47.along, a festival of music, which brought to a close a festival of
:02:47. > :02:52.sport, has left its mark on this nation in a way few had predicted.
:02:52. > :02:55.If there was a nervousness about what was in store for London, this
:02:55. > :03:00.was a celebration, a realisation that the Olympics could have hardly
:03:00. > :03:04.gone any better. The morning after the night before - checkout time at
:03:04. > :03:09.the athlete's villages. Some of Britain's winners were taking more
:03:09. > :03:12.than medals home. Why not? These are memorys that need to last a
:03:12. > :03:16.lifetime. I would like to thank, finally, everybody in the UK that
:03:16. > :03:21.has made, what we have witnessed over the last two weeks and what we
:03:21. > :03:25.will witness in a fortnight's time, possible. I said last night that we
:03:25. > :03:28.said at the beginning of this, these would be a Games for everyone.
:03:28. > :03:32.I think by the end of last night, we were able to say these were a
:03:32. > :03:36.Games by everyone. There was a very London feel at Heathrow. This is
:03:36. > :03:40.the airport as you have not seen it before. A special terminal was
:03:40. > :03:45.built to ease the athletes' departures. As they go it will be
:03:45. > :03:55.just the British left behind. A Team GB basking in the glory of 29
:03:55. > :03:59.gold medals. We have done it and done it in
:03:59. > :04:06.style! Mo Farah, for Great Britain... It's gold! Oh, my
:04:06. > :04:11.goodness! The final Team GB gold came
:04:11. > :04:15.yesterday afternoon in the boxing ring. Anthony Joshua won the su
:04:15. > :04:20.heavyweight title. Aged just 22, his future is likely to be as a
:04:20. > :04:25.professional rather than an Olympian. I am still a raw talent.
:04:25. > :04:34.To be an Olympic champion on a raw talent, hopefully when everyone
:04:34. > :04:39.starts to fall into place I will be dominating the heavyweights easier.
:04:39. > :04:45.Team GB's 49 medals in Beijing was exceptional.
:04:45. > :04:49.I am so happy that I have the last Olympic medal for Great Britain. It
:04:49. > :04:53.will be with me for the rest of my life. It's a great achievement. I
:04:54. > :04:58.just hope that I have fulfiled the Moto of the Olympics and that is
:04:58. > :05:04.inspire the next generation. I hope someone somewhere is hoping to give
:05:04. > :05:08.pentathlon a go. So London's Games are over. The flame is extinguished.
:05:08. > :05:15.Those who spent seven years planning all this will work hard to
:05:15. > :05:18.make sure the legacy lives on. 16 days until the start of the
:05:18. > :05:22.Paralympics. Tickets are selling fast. It looks like the Games could
:05:22. > :05:26.be a sell out. There has been one reminder of the challenges still
:05:26. > :05:33.facing the Olympic movement - the women's winner of the shot put from
:05:33. > :05:39.Belarus has been stripped of her gold medal today after being --
:05:39. > :05:44.testing positive for drugs. temporary terminal has been set up
:05:44. > :05:48.at Heathrow. How busy has it been today? It has
:05:48. > :05:54.been pretty busy. The party is over. It is time to go home, whether you
:05:54. > :05:58.want to or not. We have seen quite a few athletes passing through here,
:05:58. > :06:02.looking bleerry eyed and decidedly worse for wear after last night's
:06:02. > :06:08.celebrations. That is to be expected, I suppose. This is
:06:08. > :06:11.usually a car park. They have created a London Green Park, with
:06:11. > :06:15.artificial grass, park benches, all to make the athletes feel
:06:15. > :06:20.comfortable as they come through. They are being checked in here and
:06:20. > :06:25.bused to their terminals, where regular passengers may get a chance
:06:25. > :06:29.to meet some of their heroes later on. Heathrow is expecting it to be
:06:29. > :06:33.their busiest day. The exodus will continue for the next couple of
:06:33. > :06:37.days won't it? That is right. Probably the busiest day in their
:06:37. > :06:42.history, with up to 6,000 athletes today. This will continue for a
:06:42. > :06:46.couple more days. It has been interesting speaking to the
:06:46. > :06:49.athletes, all very positive impressions of London 2012. They
:06:49. > :06:54.are being asked to put their favourite memory on that tree over
:06:54. > :06:57.there. I don't know if you can see it behind me. Many saying their
:06:57. > :07:02.favourite memory was winning a medal. Others talk about the
:07:02. > :07:06.volunteers, talk about the crowds. All the messages will be collated
:07:06. > :07:11.into a book and presented to the volunteers who have made these
:07:11. > :07:16.Games so special. Thank you very much. As soon as the Closing
:07:16. > :07:19.Ceremony finished last night, the organisers of London 2012 began to
:07:19. > :07:24.prepare for the Paralympics which start in just over a fortnight. The
:07:24. > :07:28.Olympic Park is closed, while the transformation takes place.
:07:28. > :07:33.For two weeks this place was the centre of the world. Now, gone are
:07:33. > :07:38.all the crowds and the attention. This morning n the athletes'
:07:38. > :07:43.village, perhaps a few hangovers needed to be worked off, after last
:07:43. > :07:47.night's Closing Ceremony. Even a chance to smoke - a guilty pleasure
:07:47. > :07:51.denied for weeks. 20,000 journalists told the stories of
:07:51. > :07:56.these Games. Today, some were packing up. They fed the appetite
:07:56. > :08:01.of billions around the globe. Now their cameras and equipment sit
:08:01. > :08:07.idle. And the hundreds of people running food and gift stores - they
:08:07. > :08:11.too have shut up shop, for now. The end of one Games has heralded the
:08:11. > :08:17.start of another. This was the warm-up pitch for the Olympic
:08:17. > :08:22.hockey. It will turn into the five- aside Paralympic football venue. We
:08:22. > :08:25.have a field all in this blue area. All you see now we will transform
:08:25. > :08:29.into a football stadium. We have about a week to do it. That is just
:08:29. > :08:33.one of the venues that must be adapted. Obviously one of the
:08:33. > :08:38.things you have to bear in mind for the Paralympics is the individual
:08:38. > :08:43.athletes and their impairment and what accessibility they need. LOCOG
:08:43. > :08:47.have done a great job in making sure this is an accessible park and
:08:47. > :08:53.village. I am sure it will be fine. When all the sport is over, what
:08:53. > :08:58.then? Some venues will go like the basketball and water polo pool. In
:08:58. > :09:01.will come more housing. In a sense, the real work begins now. The
:09:01. > :09:05.Olympics and Paralympics are the start of a long process of
:09:05. > :09:10.regeneration. The challenge, once the cameras and superstars have all
:09:11. > :09:15.gone, will be to maintain this park, as a place the pb lick still want
:09:15. > :09:21.to come to -- the public still want to come to after the euphoria of
:09:22. > :09:28.the Games. All eyes will now be on the Paralympians, as their emblem
:09:28. > :09:32.replaces the five rings. The rest of the news now and the
:09:32. > :09:36.man accused of murdering 12-year- old Tia Sharp in London has been
:09:36. > :09:43.remanded in custody. Stuart Hazell, who is 37, was charged after a body
:09:43. > :09:46.was found in the house in New Addington that he shares with the
:09:46. > :09:50.schoolgirl's grandmother. Stuart Hazell, minutes before he was
:09:50. > :09:54.recognised by on-lookers and arrested by police. They had found
:09:54. > :10:00.the body of Tia Sharp in the loft of the house he shared with her
:10:00. > :10:04.grandmother. It was in a black bag, wrapped in a sheet. Stuart Hazell n
:10:04. > :10:08.a blue T-shirt, appeared from a police station via a video link.
:10:08. > :10:12.That is unusual at this stage of a case. It may reflect concerns that
:10:12. > :10:17.the hearing might be disrupted by members of the public. He confirmed
:10:17. > :10:21.he understood the charge and was told his case will be passed to the
:10:21. > :10:26.Old Bailey. Though Stuart Hazell has been charged with Tia Sharp's
:10:26. > :10:30.murder, the body has not been yet formally identified. The postmortem
:10:30. > :10:34.has begun, but it will take some days and a result is not expected
:10:34. > :10:38.until later on this week. The police have been carrying out a
:10:38. > :10:43.forensic examination of the house. After admitting at the weekend that
:10:43. > :10:48.two separate searches and a visit by a police body recovery dog did
:10:48. > :10:53.not find Tia for a week, even though the location where she was
:10:53. > :10:57.finally found had been checked. Tia's mother visited the memorial
:10:57. > :11:04.yesterday. Her grandmother, who had been arrested has now been released
:11:04. > :11:07.on bail, along with a neighbour, who is under suspicion of helping a
:11:07. > :11:12.suspect. Stuart Hazell has protested his innocence in a TV
:11:13. > :11:22.interview, saying Tia was like his own daughter and he loved her to
:11:22. > :11:24.bits. Thousands of Jobcentre staff are on strike today over what they
:11:24. > :11:27.are calling oppressive working conditions and unrealistic targets.
:11:27. > :11:31.More than 6,000 call-centre employees across England, Scotland
:11:31. > :11:35.and Wales are repeating industrial action taken in May this year. The
:11:35. > :11:40.Department for Work and Pensions says it has gone to great lengths
:11:40. > :11:43.to resolve the issues raised. The Foreign Office has urged British
:11:43. > :11:49.nationals in the Canary Islands to stay in touch, as wildfires

:12:38. > :12:41.Thousands of supporters of Egypt's president, Mohammed Morsi, have
:12:41. > :12:47.been celebrating in Tahrir Square in Cairo after he sacked two
:12:47. > :12:50.generals. The removal of the defence minister and his chief of
:12:50. > :12:58.staff is being seen as a sign that the civilian president intends to
:12:58. > :13:02.take powers from the military. James Robbins reports.
:13:02. > :13:05.This is a huge moment for Egypt and the wider world as the country's
:13:05. > :13:10.elected President moves to end the army's dominant role and to push
:13:10. > :13:13.forward Egypt's unfinished revolution. The man chosen only
:13:13. > :13:18.seven weeks ago to lead the country, President Mohammad Morsi, has taken
:13:18. > :13:24.two risks. Sacking the Armed Forces chief who hoped to protect military
:13:24. > :13:26.power and privilege. And, at the same time, the President has
:13:26. > :13:34.cancelled the service chiefs' decree giving them veto powers over
:13:34. > :13:38.change. To go back 18 months and protesters in Tahrir Square were
:13:38. > :13:43.demanding the downfall of President Mubarak's regime. They got that
:13:43. > :13:48.victory but could not be sure of the army's position. Always central
:13:48. > :13:52.to the regime but also holding on to power with him gone. The nations
:13:52. > :13:57.that in the new president and Egypt Field-Marshal were bound to be
:13:57. > :14:02.tense. He decreed ultimate power should stay with them. Now the
:14:02. > :14:06.President has reversed that decree and forced the top two men into the
:14:06. > :14:12.time it but Mohammed Morsi was very careful to keep the rest of the
:14:12. > :14:15.army on side and the people behind him.
:14:15. > :14:21.TRANSLATION: To the Honourable Egyptian people, the decisions I
:14:21. > :14:25.took today were not meant ever to target certain persons or in Paris
:14:25. > :14:35.institutions. Or could my aim ever to be too narrow freedoms for those
:14:35. > :14:39.
:14:39. > :14:44.whom God created free. The sackings made more headlines
:14:44. > :14:49.for each its people to digest. Is this a President securing democracy
:14:49. > :14:54.and civilian rule or and Islamic leader taking too much power for
:14:54. > :14:57.himself? The countries no longer under military rule, says this man
:14:57. > :15:02.on his way to work. Egypt will become a civil state in which
:15:02. > :15:09.everyone will be entitled to their rights. But another man worries the
:15:09. > :15:13.generals were treated harshly. These people lead the country, he
:15:13. > :15:19.says, through difficult times and should not be put on retirement or
:15:19. > :15:22.the sudden. -- all of a sudden. President Morsi
:15:22. > :15:25.decided to act now, perhaps because Egypt's military chiefs were
:15:25. > :15:28.damaged by last week's failure to prevent the killing of 16 border
:15:28. > :15:33.guards by Islamist militants in Sinai last week. But still it's a
:15:33. > :15:36.risk. And Egypt's revolution may still not be complete. James, thank

:16:06. > :16:09.The trial has started today of a man accused of murdering six people,
:16:09. > :16:12.including three children, in a knife attack on the island of
:16:12. > :16:17.Jersey last year. Polish citizen Damian Rrzeszowski has admitted to
:16:17. > :16:20.manslaughter due to diminished resonsibility. Our correspondent
:16:20. > :16:27.Robert Hall reports from the Royal court in St Hellier. Viewers may
:16:27. > :16:31.find some of the details in his report distressing.
:16:31. > :16:35.He arrived to face trial of 12 months after the deaths which shook
:16:35. > :16:39.his peaceful island. Damian Rrzeszowski, the man who killed his
:16:39. > :16:43.family after a summer barbecue at his flat less than a mile from the
:16:43. > :16:46.courtroom. The court heard that Damian Rrzeszowski had experienced
:16:46. > :16:51.difficulties with his marriage and had returned from Poland with his
:16:51. > :16:55.wife and their two children. At around 2:45pm, that afternoon, he
:16:55. > :17:01.launched an attack. His father-in- law was stabbed as he watched TV in
:17:01. > :17:05.his bedroom. His two-and-a-half year-old died as he painted
:17:05. > :17:11.pictures at the dining room table with 13 stab wounds. His five-year-
:17:11. > :17:16.old sister was attacked alongside him. Her friend also five, died in
:17:16. > :17:21.the hallway of the ground floor flat. Her mother, badly injured,
:17:21. > :17:24.managed to escape to the front door but died in the street. Damian
:17:24. > :17:28.Rrzeszowski produced -- just his wife from room to room following it
:17:28. > :17:32.through a window, the front door, and onto the pavement where he
:17:32. > :17:36.attacked her in front of neighbours. By the time emergency services
:17:36. > :17:41.arrived, he had used the knife on himself. He told police he could
:17:41. > :17:44.remember little of his actions. The prosecution counsel told the court
:17:44. > :17:49.that Damian Rrzeszowski had been stressed over the potential
:17:49. > :17:53.breakdown of his marriage and had been unable to control his emotions.
:17:53. > :17:58.Violence had been bottled up inside him like a pressure cooker. It was
:17:58. > :18:02.a potent mix of characteristics, he said, and but it was not diminished
:18:02. > :18:05.responsibility. Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy has
:18:05. > :18:09.become the youngest player since Seve Ballesteros to win two Major
:18:09. > :18:15.golf championships. The 23-year-old from County Down won the US PGA
:18:15. > :18:19.Championship by a record eight shots. He's younger than Tiger
:18:19. > :18:22.Woods was when he won his second Major. And as Mark Simpson reports,
:18:22. > :18:31.the first thing McIlroy did after winning last night was thank his
:18:31. > :18:34.mum and dad. He won it in style. A quite
:18:35. > :18:40.extraordinary performance. By winning the US PGA Tour by eight
:18:40. > :18:45.shots, Rory McIlroy tore up the record books. He is one of the
:18:45. > :18:48.youngest men to win two major championships. It's been a
:18:48. > :18:52.remarkable journey from Northern Ireland. Your father is with you.
:18:52. > :18:58.What does it mean to share this with your father? It's great.
:18:58. > :19:02.Wherever he is, thanks, mum and dad. She's watching at home, I'm sure.
:19:02. > :19:06.Before his latest victory, Rory McIlroy had had a disappointing
:19:06. > :19:12.season by his own high standards. Some claimed he was spending too
:19:12. > :19:18.much time with his girlfriend. The Danish tennis player, Caroline was
:19:18. > :19:23.any ackee, but in Hollywood, County Down, no one ever doubted him.
:19:23. > :19:27.Everyone has an opinion. He just showed on the golf course what is
:19:27. > :19:33.capable of and to have two majors by the age of 23 is obviously
:19:33. > :19:39.fantastic. A club is trying to find the next Rory McIlroy. With summer
:19:39. > :19:43.camps for the local children. Rory McIlroy now spends more time closer
:19:43. > :19:48.to Hollywood USA than Hollywood, County Down. But here on the
:19:48. > :19:52.streets of his home town, he's not forgotten. Every time he wins a big
:19:52. > :19:57.tournament, that a cream makes special biscuits. And, in recent
:19:57. > :20:01.years, I have had plenty of practice. As for the man himself,
:20:01. > :20:06.he's hungry for more major victories and with Gulf included at
:20:06. > :20:10.the next Olympic Games, he could turn his silverware into gold --
:20:10. > :20:14.golf. Let's return to the Olympics now.
:20:14. > :20:23.Greg Searle won an Olympic Bronze for Team GB in rowing as part of
:20:23. > :20:30.the Men's Eight. But 20 years after he won a gold medal in Barcelona.
:20:30. > :20:34.Lovely to see you. How was last night? A great night. Fantastic
:20:34. > :20:40.that we have put on such a good show. I think we are so proud. We
:20:40. > :20:44.do music quite well for quite a while, and we are doing sport as
:20:44. > :20:49.well at a high level now, so it was a good event. What, for you, was
:20:49. > :20:54.the highlight of the Games? There's so many. I know everybody says that.
:20:54. > :20:59.For me, just walking into the venue before the race. The home crowd
:20:59. > :21:04.cheering and clapping and chanting our names. As we came into the
:21:04. > :21:09.venue, the hairs on my arms stood up and I had shivers down my spine.
:21:09. > :21:13.It was special to have that support behind us. The question is, Team GB
:21:13. > :21:16.has this extraordinary haul of medals, a huge number of gold
:21:16. > :21:24.medals, so how do you keep the momentum going now? That's the
:21:24. > :21:29.challenge now. Back in 1996, when we did very badly at the Olympics,
:21:29. > :21:34.we had a National Lottery backing and we now see success 16 years
:21:34. > :21:39.later. This time around, we have to make sure we capitalise when we are
:21:39. > :21:42.at the top and don't get complacent. I think people will get involved in
:21:42. > :21:48.sport that maybe they have seen in the last few weeks but never really
:21:48. > :21:54.tried. That's going to be the crucial thing, isn't it? The whole
:21:54. > :21:58.point of these games was to inspire a generation. That is going to be
:21:58. > :22:02.the real test, isn't it? Yes, whether people get into the sport
:22:02. > :22:06.and go and try them and have some fun. I do know there are programme
:22:06. > :22:10.is going on, so many little programmes and charities, but ideas
:22:10. > :22:16.of clubs are opening their doors and say, bring down the people if
:22:16. > :22:23.you are a beginning. Come down and try it. Do the same if it is Water
:22:23. > :22:27.Polo, hockey, netball. It's a great sport. Get down there for that I
:22:27. > :22:32.think the most important thing, we need to recognise what Rory McIlroy
:22:32. > :22:36.just spoke about, his parents. And the role they played in his career.
:22:36. > :22:39.If my parents had not made the effort, taking me a long and
:22:39. > :22:43.putting sport in front of me, I wouldn't have had a chance to do it,
:22:43. > :22:48.so I think we can't just expected to happen but, as parents, we have
:22:48. > :22:51.got to get involved. We rely on a coat is and volunteers to give
:22:51. > :22:56.their time but we need people to do that, and maybe we will get some
:22:56. > :23:01.more backing for it, as well. have got three Olympic medals now,
:23:01. > :23:05.including your gold 20 years ago. What has it been for Team GB who
:23:05. > :23:12.have these medals in front of the home crowd? It's very hard to
:23:12. > :23:17.describe. It's an immense pride to be part of this team, not just Team
:23:17. > :23:21.GB but part of London, and the whole thing has gone so well. If I
:23:21. > :23:25.wanted to describe it as a feeling, I guess it's a bit like, as a team,
:23:25. > :23:29.we have delivered. And anybody has opened up at present and are
:23:29. > :23:33.looking at it and saying, this is just what I always wanted for the
:23:33. > :23:39.it's a pretty good feeling to be on the giving side of that. Lovely.
:23:39. > :23:44.Thank you very much. The Olympic flame is due to arrive
:23:44. > :23:47.later today in Rio de Janeiro, host city of the 2016 Games. Brazil is
:23:47. > :23:50.the world's sixth biggest economy and organisers there say the Games
:23:50. > :24:00.will mark a great transformation for the country. From Rio, Quentin
:24:00. > :24:00.
:24:01. > :24:05.Sommerville sent this report. Brazil on the Olympic stage. South
:24:05. > :24:13.America gets ready for its first ever Olympic Games. As London said
:24:13. > :24:17.goodbye, the mayor of Rio to possession of the Olympic flag.
:24:17. > :24:23.put a lot of weight on our shoulders because it was so good so
:24:23. > :24:28.we have to do it better but it all to do with passion and a
:24:28. > :24:32.transformation. It's going to be great games. In an apartment in
:24:32. > :24:35.Brazil, some friends gathered to watch the ceremony for the the
:24:35. > :24:41.London spectacular will be hard to top, they agreed, but Rio can
:24:41. > :24:47.deliver a great Olympics. We have lots of problems. TWI have an
:24:47. > :24:53.expertise to make, for a month, everything working very well. Maybe
:24:53. > :24:58.after that, we will have the same problems. A more stunning backdrop,
:24:58. > :25:04.it would be hard to find but the coastal roads make the city
:25:04. > :25:07.difficult to get around. A huge transport upgrade is under way. Rio
:25:07. > :25:12.says it will be ready but not since Athens have so many questions been
:25:12. > :25:16.raised about the readiness of an Olympic host. Of staging the Games
:25:16. > :25:19.is a source of pride for people here. They say the Olympics will be
:25:19. > :25:24.good for Brazil's self-respect as well as its international
:25:24. > :25:28.reputation. It is still four years until the first events take place
:25:28. > :25:32.on the beaches here in the Rio but Brazil's Olympic journey is well
:25:32. > :25:37.and truly under way. The flag is coming from London and it will
:25:37. > :25:39.arrive here later today. After their triumphs at the
:25:39. > :25:49.Olympics, some of Team GB's athletes have been turning their

:25:56. > :25:58.# Don't stop me now... #. Jessica Ennis, Sir Chris Hoy and
:25:58. > :26:01.Victoria Pendleton were among some of Britain's top Olympians
:26:01. > :26:03.performing a version of Queen's Don't Stop Me Now. The clip was
:26:04. > :26:06.filmed above the Westfield shopping centre's car park, near the Olympic
:26:06. > :26:16.Park. It shows the athletes strumming air guitars and lip-
:26:16. > :26:21.
:26:21. > :26:26.A little bit of sunshine in that. After these wonderful Olympics,
:26:27. > :26:30.wonderful weather? I think it's Isn't it ironic now the Olympics
:26:30. > :26:35.have closed, the final ceremony is over and the weather is going to
:26:35. > :26:40.Turner. Yes, very grey skies around me at the moment with a band of
:26:40. > :26:47.rain from the West. A real contrast in temperatures. Yesterday, up to
:26:47. > :26:51.27 degrees across the board. Today, seven degrees less for some areas
:26:51. > :26:55.but in Belfast, actually, it will be warmer today. At the moment, the
:26:55. > :27:00.radar shows it has been raining in Northern Ireland, western Scotland,
:27:00. > :27:04.Wales and south-west England and heading eastwards. The same for
:27:04. > :27:08.central and eastern areas. If it is dry and bright, it won't last but
:27:08. > :27:11.it will turn grey with outbreaks of rain. It is heaviest through
:27:11. > :27:14.western Scotland in the afternoon. Fragmenting as it moves its way
:27:14. > :27:19.through England and Wales. Worth pointing out for south-west England
:27:19. > :27:22.and Wales, yes, the sunshine will return, but then it showers will
:27:22. > :27:27.develop and some of those will be heavy falls of Northern Ireland,
:27:27. > :27:31.yes, you will also season sunshine but watch out for showers which are
:27:31. > :27:35.heavy with the risk of thunder. Fairly grey and damp for much of
:27:35. > :27:39.the day across much of Scotland. Cooler than yesterday with
:27:39. > :27:43.outbreaks of rain and for Northern England, the Midlands, expect grey
:27:43. > :27:48.skies to lurk as we go through the coming hours were outbreaks of rain.
:27:48. > :27:51.In the Far East of England, Norfolk and Suffolk and Kent, the brightest
:27:51. > :27:57.weather and here, the best of the temperatures, as well. This evening
:27:57. > :28:02.and overnight, the rain were edged eastwards. The last of the showers
:28:02. > :28:06.will fade away but it will be a mild night. 16-17 degrees across
:28:06. > :28:11.the board with some mist and fog patches developing, as well.
:28:11. > :28:14.Tomorrow, looking very different from today. It is a story of
:28:14. > :28:18.sunshine and showers. The sunshine first ball and then the showers
:28:18. > :28:22.will develop through the day. Fairly widespread, heavy and
:28:22. > :28:27.certainly thundery. But still, in the sunshine, temperatures in the
:28:27. > :28:33.high teens and low twenties, feeling humid. The weather, though,
:28:33. > :28:37.takes it down will turn as we head through to Wednesday. A deep area
:28:37. > :28:41.of low pressure driving in from the West. The isobars will come closer
:28:41. > :28:46.together and it will turn windy and then the rain will move and as well
:28:46. > :28:50.so, by Wednesday, it will turn a very wet and very windy. Gales in
:28:50. > :28:53.the south-west and the north, as well. Outbreaks of rain it for that
:28:53. > :29:03.it could be heavy and we could see an inshore more and as we head
:29:03. > :29:06.towards the weekend, things remain Typical. Thank you. That's it.
:29:06. > :29:09.After 17 days of sporting drama, London's golden Games came to an
:29:09. > :29:12.end with a spectacular closing ceremony. Lord Coe said it had been
