:01:56. > :02:01.going from Number Ten Downing Street. You are the main changes --

:02:35. > :02:42.this report from Ross Hawkins. Who deserves the car, the perks,
:02:42. > :02:46.the powers of office? The PM has made his decisions. This reshuffle
:02:46. > :02:50.is about looking for the future, building on reforms, focusing on
:02:50. > :02:54.delivery and bringing forward the next generation. David Cameron had
:02:54. > :02:58.stood by his Health Secretary, and made huge and controversial change
:02:58. > :03:02.to the NHS in England, until now. Andrew Lansley's days of rolling up

:04:40. > :04:45.Jeremy Hunt moves from culture to health, replacing Andrew Lansley
:04:45. > :04:50.who had been in charge of health for the Conservatives since 2003.
:04:50. > :04:56.The move comes at a time for -- of enormous change for the NHS as
:04:56. > :05:01.Dominic Hughes reports. Few health secretary's new the ins
:05:01. > :05:06.and outs of the NHS as well as Andrew Lansley. Even his opponents
:05:06. > :05:10.recognise that for much of the past decade, he had been visiting
:05:10. > :05:14.hospitals and talking to NHS staff. Having promised no more top-down
:05:14. > :05:19.reorganisations, many were surprised and angered by a radical
:05:19. > :05:23.shake-up of the way the health service was to be organised. I am
:05:23. > :05:29.the daughter of 30 years. Explain how this is going to make patients
:05:29. > :05:33.better. Nobody understands the bill. The new NHS in England will look
:05:33. > :05:36.like this. GPs and other clinicians will now be responsible for the
:05:36. > :05:39.commissioning or buying of the majority of health care in England.
:05:39. > :05:45.There will be more competition. The private sector will be given
:05:45. > :05:49.greater opportunity to provide NHS care. They will compete on quality
:05:49. > :05:55.but not price. Ministers say this will make the NHS more efficient as
:05:55. > :06:00.patient numbers grow and costs rise. Getting the reforms through was a
:06:00. > :06:03.painful process. Growing opposition from health staff led to an
:06:03. > :06:07.unprecedented pause in the legislative process and a listening
:06:07. > :06:13.exercise. But Mr Lansley was insistent that there was no
:06:13. > :06:17.alternative. We are committed not just to this legislation, it is not
:06:17. > :06:21.about his bill as such, it is about what the Bill enables the NHS to
:06:21. > :06:25.achieve. It is not about me, it is about the Government. Jeremy Hunt
:06:25. > :06:30.will have to rebuild relationships with doctors and nurses bruised by
:06:30. > :06:40.the reform process. His arrival was welcomed by the British Medical
:06:40. > :06:44.
:06:44. > :06:48.One such challenges the need for the health service in England to
:06:48. > :06:55.save around �20 billion over the next few years, not to mention
:06:55. > :06:58.ensuring the reforms that make up Andrew Lansley's legacy.
:06:58. > :07:04.More analysis to come but another key appointment was Patrick
:07:04. > :07:07.McLoughlin, as transport secretary, replacing Justine Greening. Her
:07:07. > :07:11.opposition to a third runway at Heathrow had angered business
:07:11. > :07:17.groups. Hugh Pym is with me. Staying with the politics, there is
:07:17. > :07:20.a real clear-out at the top of transport. Yes. In the past, people
:07:20. > :07:23.involved in policy areas have been frustrated with government when
:07:23. > :07:28.there has been a merry-go-round at the top of departments. There was a
:07:28. > :07:31.sense that this would not happen so often but with transport, this is
:07:31. > :07:35.our third Secretary of State. First Philip Hammond, then Justine
:07:35. > :07:39.Greening and now from today, Patrick McLoughlin. And a senior
:07:39. > :07:42.minister, Theresa Villiers, has moved on. There is a bulging in-
:07:42. > :07:48.tray. There is the issue of high- speed rail, the link with an West
:07:48. > :07:51.Midlands, taking that through Parliament. -- the West Midlands.
:07:51. > :07:57.There is the issue of the West Coast main line, with Justine
:07:57. > :08:04.Greening agreeing to take it away from Version. That is controversial.
:08:04. > :08:10.And, of course, the third runway. Will it go ahead or not? There is
:08:10. > :08:14.potential for a U-turn? Yes, but the intention of the coalition is
:08:14. > :08:19.to scrap the plans. Recently, there has been strong pressure from
:08:19. > :08:23.business to move ahead and developed economy. Justine Greening
:08:23. > :08:30.and Theresa Villiers, Paul MPs in or around London, were opposed to
:08:30. > :08:34.it publicly. Some will say that moving them to other jobs paves the
:08:34. > :08:37.way for a change in policy. You do not need to speculate. Boris
:08:37. > :08:42.Johnson has said today, openly, that he thinks the Government wants
:08:42. > :08:46.to ditch its promises and sent yet more planes over central London.
:08:46. > :08:53.That is his interpretation of the reshuffle. He says he will fight
:08:53. > :08:58.this all the way. Norman Smith is in Downing Street.
:08:58. > :09:05.Just begin by telling us a little bit more about these new faces. The
:09:05. > :09:09.reasons why they have been appointed. This is not some sort of
:09:10. > :09:13.thunder and lightning moment, with blood all over the walls. It is a
:09:13. > :09:19.fairly modest recasting of the middle ranks of the Cabinet,
:09:19. > :09:22.designed in large part to bring in the communicators, those ministers
:09:22. > :09:27.who are adept with the media, who can articulate the Government's
:09:27. > :09:31.case. That is why we have seen Grant Shapps Brotton as party
:09:31. > :09:34.chairman, because in the house in brief, he was viewed as an ever
:09:34. > :09:38.present optimistic, outgoing, vigorous defender of the
:09:38. > :09:42.Government's position. That is why we see Andrew Lansley moved from
:09:42. > :09:47.health because he was viewed in Number Ten as simply being unable
:09:47. > :09:52.to articulate the Government's case. What we have seen is the emergence
:09:52. > :09:56.and promotion of a coterie of a very effective media performers.
:09:56. > :10:01.Big issues, of course, as we were just discussing, with transport and
:10:01. > :10:05.health in particular. What is your assessment of the analysis?
:10:05. > :10:09.sense is that this is not a reshuffle that is going to change
:10:09. > :10:14.the political landscape. It is a reshuffle designed to solve
:10:14. > :10:18.particular political problems which Mr Cameron faces. Obviously, health,
:10:18. > :10:22.bringing in a new face to try to rebuild relations with the help
:10:22. > :10:26.profession. Transport, to bring in a new face to give the Government
:10:26. > :10:29.some flexibility over a possible rethink on Heathrow. And that the
:10:29. > :10:34.Ministry of Justice, removing Kenneth Clarke and bringing in a
:10:34. > :10:37.right winger to appease those right-wingers who believe that the
:10:37. > :10:43.Government has not taken a robust enough stance over issues like the
:10:43. > :10:53.European Court. It is a reshuffle designed to solve problems, rather
:10:53. > :10:54.
:10:54. > :10:58.than change the political landscape. 15 police officers have been
:10:58. > :11:01.injured in a second night of rioting in Belfast. They were hit
:11:01. > :11:06.with petrol bombs as they tried to keep loyalist and Republican crowds
:11:07. > :11:14.apart. Officers responded with water cannon. 62 police officers
:11:14. > :11:19.have now been injured in the past 36 hours.
:11:19. > :11:24.Only one mile from Belfast city centre, another riot. It was not on
:11:24. > :11:29.the same scale as Sunday night, but damage was done and police officers
:11:29. > :11:33.were hurt. Two were knocked unconscious by bricks. Petrol bombs,
:11:33. > :11:36.golf balls and fireworks were also thrown. The police came under
:11:37. > :11:41.attack as they tried to keep rival loyalist and Republican crowds
:11:41. > :11:46.apart. Politicians across Northern Ireland have condemned the violence,
:11:46. > :11:52.but they have not been able to stop it. The fundamental problem is this.
:11:52. > :11:54.Whilst we have the structures, we have power-sharing and the
:11:55. > :12:00.partnership and a cross-community government, we have not really
:12:00. > :12:06.tackle the basic issues. The basic issue here is one of sectarianism.
:12:06. > :12:12.That is also's disease. loyalists parliamentary group, the
:12:12. > :12:16.UVF has been blamed for starting the trouble. -- Ulster's disease.
:12:16. > :12:20.People need to understand that this is genuine raw emotion. Raw anger
:12:20. > :12:27.that exists within the Unionist community. To dismiss that
:12:28. > :12:31.frustration as manipulation is a huge mistake. It is a folly.
:12:31. > :12:39.violence has been in exactly the same place each night. There is a
:12:39. > :12:43.long history of trouble in North walls which divide mainly Catholic
:12:43. > :12:47.districts from a mainly Protestant districts. The problems run deeper
:12:47. > :12:51.and they will not be solved overnight. But as the clean-up
:12:51. > :12:58.continues, behind the scenes talks are taking place to try to stop yet
:12:58. > :13:05.another night of trouble. The Olympic Games have not led to
:13:05. > :13:10.the boost many retailers had hoped for. High street sales have fallen.
:13:10. > :13:13.Sales were down by point for% in August, the worst performance in a
:13:13. > :13:20.year. People prefer to watch the Games, it seems, rather than go
:13:20. > :13:23.shopping. Stratford upon-Avon is always a
:13:23. > :13:27.popular destination for tourists. But the owner of this small gift
:13:27. > :13:32.shop says that she did not see the usual foreign visitors because of
:13:32. > :13:36.the Olympics. The wet weather did not help. August was not a golden
:13:36. > :13:39.month for sales. I think the Olympics was a niche market and
:13:39. > :13:47.they do not think that it has helped Stratford upon-Avon or the
:13:47. > :13:51.retailers are told. The Jubilee was amazing. -- the retailers at all.
:13:51. > :13:55.It is a different story in the Stratford. Olympics merchandise has
:13:55. > :13:59.been flying off the shelves. Many retailers had hoped that these
:13:59. > :14:04.games would inspire a bit of a spending spree on the High Street.
:14:04. > :14:09.But judging by today's figures, that has not happened. It seems we
:14:09. > :14:14.have been too busy enjoying the support and -- than shopping. Some
:14:14. > :14:18.say that is not a bad thing but it did lead to sales in established
:14:18. > :14:28.store has fallen by point for% compared with the last 12 months. -
:14:28. > :14:28.
:14:28. > :14:32.- stores falling by point for%. Online shopping even slowed. Sales
:14:32. > :14:35.really didn't have Top Gear for this chain of bike shops. We were
:14:35. > :14:42.concerned before the Olympics. Halfway through the Games, things
:14:42. > :14:49.got better. We were able to get back took record levels, selling
:14:49. > :14:54.lots of bikes, inspired by those guys winning on a race bikes.
:14:54. > :15:04.real test for retailers is whether all this has delivered a feel-good
:15:04. > :15:10.
:15:10. > :15:13.factor to consumers. Will it It is now 1:15pm.
:15:13. > :15:16.Our top story this lunchtime: Andrew Lansley loses his job as
:15:16. > :15:26.Health Secretary in the first big Cabinet changes since David Cameron
:15:26. > :15:27.
:15:27. > :15:33.came to power. As another British medal to report
:15:33. > :15:43.in the Paralympics. Another sign that standards are going the sky
:15:43. > :15:51.
:15:51. > :15:54.high in this sport. We will have Scotland's First Minister Alex
:15:54. > :15:58.Salmond will announce details of his policies for the year ahead in
:15:58. > :16:03.the Holyrood chamber later. A referendum on Scottish independence
:16:03. > :16:07.is due to be at the heart of the government's plans. Proposed
:16:07. > :16:11.legalisation of gay marriage is also expected. A Children's Bill
:16:11. > :16:16.may also be introduced, which will increase free childcare. Lorna
:16:16. > :16:20.Gordon is outside the Scottish Parliament with the details.
:16:20. > :16:25.The referendum is really grabbing all of their headlines, let's start
:16:25. > :16:29.with that, what is the detail? It was inevitable that it would
:16:29. > :16:35.grab the headlines. It really is such a big issue, it then it it is
:16:35. > :16:39.very far away on the horizon. How far away? We are talking a little
:16:39. > :16:43.over two years. The bill this afternoon will confirm that Alex
:16:43. > :16:49.Salmond would like that referendum to take place in autumn 2014 and
:16:49. > :16:53.all of the signals are that that timing will stick. They are also
:16:53. > :16:58.signals that 16 and 17 year-olds will be allowed to vote in this
:16:58. > :17:03.referendum. What is less clear, however, is if there will be one
:17:03. > :17:07.question on two. One dealing with a straight yes or no on independence
:17:07. > :17:12.and whether there will be a second question on the ballot paper
:17:12. > :17:17.offering the voters an option on whether Scotland should have more
:17:17. > :17:21.devolved powers. I think it is a very tricky issue. The UK
:17:21. > :17:26.government says they really feel strongly it should just be the one
:17:26. > :17:30.question. It could end up in the courts otherwise, but the Scottish
:17:30. > :17:35.Government, their referendum, Surrey, their consultation on the
:17:35. > :17:40.referendum, it will come out in a few weeks' time. So expect some
:17:40. > :17:45.negotiations, quite a lot of arguments, on one question or two.
:17:45. > :17:48.Just briefly, I mentioned same-sex marriage and child care. Other
:17:48. > :17:51.issues? There are 15 bills in total and one
:17:51. > :17:55.of the most controversial is same- sex marriage. It will have all of
:17:55. > :18:00.the backing of the political parties but some faith groups,
:18:00. > :18:04.including the Catholic Church, are bitterly opposed to it. Another
:18:04. > :18:13.interesting Bill we are expecting to date is offering additional free
:18:13. > :18:19.child care in Scotland, increasing the number of hours to 600 hours a
:18:19. > :18:23.year. -- 600 hours a year. I will be interested to see how the sums
:18:23. > :18:27.add up on that and how it will be paid for, but inevitably, that Bill
:18:27. > :18:30.on a referendum for independence will be at the heart of this
:18:30. > :18:35.process and as you say, will continue to grab the headlines.
:18:35. > :18:44.Lorna Gordon, thank you very much. There's been a breakthrough in the
:18:44. > :18:46.dairy industry dispute. Farmers said they were being forced to
:18:47. > :18:52.produce milk at a loss because of rising charges from supermarkets
:18:52. > :19:00.and distributors. Today, the Government has announced a
:19:00. > :19:03.voluntary code of practice which all sides have signed up to.
:19:04. > :19:09.In the dairy cows, a time this vision of the countryside.
:19:09. > :19:13.Farmers have argued for years, that there milk is undervalued on the
:19:13. > :19:17.market and that they are losing an unsustainable amount. Dairy farms
:19:17. > :19:21.are closing down in their hundreds. Today, finally a breakthrough in
:19:21. > :19:27.the thorny relationship between the farmers and the big buyers to
:19:27. > :19:32.supply the supermarkets. A voluntary code of practice. But
:19:32. > :19:36.those who campaigned long and hard for change, it is good news.
:19:36. > :19:40.Farmers will be offered flexible contracts and told why prices
:19:40. > :19:45.change and be given a chance to find better deals elsewhere. We are
:19:45. > :19:49.very pleased. We are still Between a Rock and a hard place. It is the
:19:50. > :19:53.responsibility of the industry from these processors, they and the
:19:53. > :19:57.retailers have a responsibility for the security of supply of food in
:19:57. > :20:01.this country for the next decade, possibly two decades. The deal has
:20:01. > :20:05.been brokered by ministers. They don't want to interfere in the
:20:05. > :20:10.market but they don't want dairy farms going bust, either. So a
:20:10. > :20:14.compromise, a new code which has been welcomed by the industry.
:20:14. > :20:16.a voluntary code of practice will do is enable farmers to understand
:20:16. > :20:19.how the price is calculated and farmers are telling me they want
:20:19. > :20:23.transparency, they want to understand why they have the price
:20:23. > :20:27.they do for milk and the code of practice is a massive step forward.
:20:27. > :20:31.The voluntary code of conduct will not solve all of the problems but
:20:31. > :20:37.it may be a first step towards peace in a dispute that has grown
:20:37. > :20:39.increasingly bitter and divisive. Fertility doctors have called for a
:20:39. > :20:43.debate asking whether freezing embryos should become the main
:20:43. > :20:48.option for IVF treatment in the future. There have been concerns
:20:48. > :20:50.that freezing may pose a health risk. However, the latest analysis
:20:50. > :20:55.of 13,000 IVF pregnancies suggested the freezing process might be
:20:55. > :20:59.better for the mother and the baby's health. The study's findings
:20:59. > :21:01.were presented at the British Science Festival.
:21:02. > :21:05.A post-mortem examination has found that a woman whose body was
:21:05. > :21:08.recovered from a Norfolk river had probably been strangled. Her
:21:08. > :21:12.partner's body was also found, but his death is not being treated as

:21:16. > :21:21.officers were alerted to a 13-year- old girl who'd been left alone on a
:21:21. > :21:23.hire boat. The Metropolitan Police say the
:21:23. > :21:28.number of likely phone-hacking victims has risen to more than
:21:28. > :21:31.1,000 following their investigations. Deputy Assistant
:21:31. > :21:33.Commissioner Sue Akers explained to the Home Affairs Select Committee
:21:33. > :21:40.that the large increase was because more victims had identified others
:21:40. > :21:43.who may have also been targeted for phone- hacking.
:21:43. > :21:48.Ellie Simmonds, who stormed to her second gold of the Paralympics last
:21:48. > :21:52.night, has been back in the pool this morning. This time it was in a
:21:52. > :21:56.50m freestyle heat. She qualified for the final, where she'll be
:21:56. > :21:58.going for a hat-trick of golds. And cheering her on was Prince Harry.
:21:58. > :22:03.Our sports correspondent James Pearce reports from the Olympic
:22:03. > :22:07.Park. The last time we saw Prince Harry
:22:07. > :22:10.at poolside, it was in rather different circumstances in Las
:22:10. > :22:16.Vegas. Today, he was watching one of the few people who has made more
:22:16. > :22:20.headlines than him over the last few days. Ellie Simmonds has two
:22:20. > :22:23.golds already and was trying to golds already and was trying to
:22:23. > :22:28.qualify for another final. The 50 metres freestyle is the weakest of
:22:28. > :22:32.her events. In her heat, she was second to the world record holder.
:22:32. > :22:36.She is likely to have to settle for a medal that is not coloured gold
:22:36. > :22:42.this evening. Unlike Heather Frederiksen, he will be hot
:22:42. > :22:45.favourite to win the 100 metre backstroke. She had been aiming to
:22:45. > :22:48.become an Olympic swimmer until an accident in 2004 which left her
:22:48. > :22:53.with limited use of her right arm and leg. Told by a doctor she would
:22:53. > :22:58.never swim again, she proved her doubters wrong, eventually
:22:58. > :23:00.returning to win Paralympic gold in Beijing and finishing four seconds
:23:00. > :23:05.Beijing and finishing four seconds ahead of her closest rival. It is
:23:05. > :23:08.another glorious day for spectating. Swimming fans have been sheltered
:23:08. > :23:14.by the aquatic centre, but those in the main stadium have been enjoying
:23:14. > :23:17.the sunshine, although not some of the British performances. Shelly
:23:17. > :23:22.Woods is one of the biggest names in wheelchair racing. She would be
:23:22. > :23:26.winning a medal in the 800 metres, finishing third in her heat. She
:23:26. > :23:31.will now focus on the marathon at the weekend. Her team mate J Jones
:23:31. > :23:34.also missed out. Brazilian footballers have let-up tournaments
:23:34. > :23:43.all over the world with their skill for decades. There blind players
:23:43. > :23:45.are no exception. How about that for a goal?
:23:45. > :23:50.At Greenwich Park this morning, Sophie Wells won her second silver
:23:50. > :23:52.medal of the games in dressage. It takes the British tally at
:23:52. > :23:56.Greenwich to nine, just one behind their Paralympic record, and there
:23:56. > :24:04.are two events still remaining. Our sports correspondent Joe Wilson is
:24:04. > :24:08.there for us. Yes, thanks, Sophie Wells made it
:24:08. > :24:12.clear in her first Paralympic Games that she had come to win two
:24:12. > :24:17.individual golds. She had to settle for silver medals, but she cannot
:24:17. > :24:20.fault herself, nor her horse Pinocchio, who bounced along in the
:24:20. > :24:24.sunshine to the Pinocchio soundtrack. Proving there were no
:24:24. > :24:29.strings to hold her down. The judges loved the artistry, there
:24:29. > :24:33.were a couple of technical errors but the score was over 81%. Today,
:24:33. > :24:38.not good enough for gold and for the second time in these games,
:24:38. > :24:44.Sophie Wells found her -- found herself in second place. The
:24:44. > :24:47.standard is so high. Sophie Wells is quite some rider. She was born
:24:47. > :24:52.with a condition that affected her joints and it has left her missing
:24:52. > :24:55.several fingers but as a Junior, she won an international event for
:24:55. > :25:01.able-bodied riders, so she has a getting Paralympic career ahead of
:25:01. > :25:05.her. -- glittering. Two more disability greats could take the
:25:05. > :25:09.equestrian total to 11 medals, but they would love another gold and
:25:09. > :25:15.that is most likely to come with the remarkable Sophie Christiansen,
:25:15. > :25:21.riding at about 5:30pm. Let's have at look at the medal
:25:21. > :25:24.table. China are leading by a long way with 48 golds. ParalympicsGB
:25:24. > :25:29.are still in second with 19 golds and 66 medals in total. Russia are
:25:29. > :25:32.sitting just behind them on 17 golds.
:25:32. > :25:38.Let's get more on the Cabinet reshuffle. Our Political
:25:38. > :25:40.Correspondent Norman Smith is in Downing Street. The biggest changes
:25:40. > :25:44.in health and transport, they are the big stories.
:25:44. > :25:48.Yes, those are the two big decisions, the decision to move
:25:48. > :25:51.Andrew Lansley from Health to leader of the house and Justine
:25:51. > :25:56.Greening from transport to international development. Andrew
:25:56. > :26:01.Lansley was viewed as having to us -- having failed to sell the NHS
:26:02. > :26:06.reform agenda and alienating many health officials after the years
:26:06. > :26:09.David Cameron spent trying to detoxify the NHS as an issue for
:26:09. > :26:12.the Conservative Party. Justine Greening has moved to provide the
:26:12. > :26:16.Government with flexibility, manoeuvrability on the issue of
:26:16. > :26:20.Heathrow, because she was a committed opponent of a third
:26:20. > :26:25.runway. She is replaced by Patrick McLoughlin, who carries the baggage
:26:25. > :26:29.on Heathrow. As for the Liberal Democrats, this is not really there
:26:29. > :26:32.reshuffle, none of the Cabinet names move, but David Laws, who had
:26:32. > :26:35.to resign as chief secretary because of the expenses scandal, is
:26:35. > :26:40.brought back as an education minister.
:26:40. > :26:45.Norman, thank you. Let's take you to the weather prospects. It looks
:26:45. > :26:49.very promising indeed. You sound like somebody who has
:26:49. > :26:54.been stuck in an office all morning? It is beautiful out there,
:26:54. > :26:56.I love this September day. It is fairly indicative of across the
:26:56. > :26:59.fairly indicative of across the country. Some lovely spells despite
:26:59. > :27:03.a weather front pushing down from the north-west. You can see it
:27:03. > :27:07.clearly, sitting around the Midlands, down through Wales and
:27:07. > :27:12.into the south-west as we speak. Ahead of that into the south-east,
:27:12. > :27:17.Sunni and pretty warm, behind it is a lot of sunshine, but it is a
:27:17. > :27:23.cooler and fresher feel. In the north-west of Scotland, the wind is
:27:23. > :27:27.still a feature, gusts of in excess of 60 mph but easing up across the
:27:27. > :27:31.afternoon. Let's take a snapshot at 4pm in the afternoon, not the
:27:31. > :27:37.record-breaking heat in Aberdeenshire at you saw yesterday,
:27:37. > :27:41.but some sunshine with breezy conditions. Not too bad into
:27:41. > :27:46.Northern Ireland and with lighter winds, and a bit of warmth be the
:27:46. > :27:51.norm if -- north of England, very pleasant. The weather front is in
:27:51. > :27:55.off -- East Anglia, coming down at the South and thick enough for a
:27:55. > :27:59.spot of drizzle. The best of the sunshine is certainly reserved for
:27:59. > :28:04.the Southeastern corner, not faring too badly at all, but the cloud
:28:04. > :28:08.will descend, arriving through the evening and overnight. Bat slowly
:28:08. > :28:13.eases away and the wind drops out substantially across Scotland which
:28:13. > :28:18.will allow the temperatures to drop, so a cooler night in comparison to
:28:18. > :28:22.those that have passed. 13 or 14 in the south-east. As for the sailing
:28:22. > :28:29.on Wednesday morning, starting off on a fresh bird, a strong north-
:28:29. > :28:33.easterly for a time, the wind will be easing away. -- on a fresh note.
:28:33. > :28:38.Wednesday morning, the cloud will ease the way and it is a beautiful
:28:38. > :28:42.start to the day. It won't be long until we see a little bit more
:28:42. > :28:47.cloud generated in land. A few isolated light showers and a
:28:47. > :28:52.fresher feel, but not too bad, 16- 21 degrees, still pretty
:28:52. > :28:55.respectable. The high pressure stays with you, I promised you a
:28:55. > :28:59.decent week and the story has not really changed. These weather
:28:59. > :29:03.fronts just squeeze into the far north and west which could create a
:29:03. > :29:08.hiccup, stronger winds and some more rain. Thursday and Friday,
:29:08. > :29:12.potential in Glasgow for a slightly miserable day, but in the south,
:29:12. > :29:15.more sunshine and more importantly, more warmth. If I am going to stick
:29:15. > :29:19.my neck out, it is looking pretty promising for the weekend.
:29:19. > :29:23.I shall look forward to my cycle I shall look forward to my cycle
:29:23. > :29:27.home. At 1:30pm, a reminder of the top story. Andrew Lansley loses his
:29:27. > :29:31.job as Health Secretary in the first big Cabinet changes since
