The BBC's Director-General faces hostile questions from MPs over the | :00:06. | :00:12. | |
Corporation's handling of Jimmy Savile's years of sexual abuse. | :00:12. | :00:18. | |
George Entwistle denied a cover-up, at the BBC had seemed to allow the | :00:18. | :00:24. | |
presenter to get away with it. is a gravely serious matter and one | :00:24. | :00:29. | |
cannot look back at it with anything other than horror that his | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
activities went on as long as they did undetected and of course, that | :00:32. | :00:38. | |
is a matter of grave regret to me. Mr Entwistle said he regretted the | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
tribute programmes to Savile and said the Newsnight investigation | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
into his paedophile activities should have gone ahead. | :00:44. | :00:50. | |
There was clearly some good journalistic material here and even | :00:50. | :00:56. | |
if there wasn't a prospect of a media transmission a continueal | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
investigation. As Savile's victims consider legal | :00:59. | :01:05. | |
action, frustration that their accusations were never heard. | :01:05. | :01:11. | |
all that stress, that's what made me angry, the fact that that I had | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
gone through that stress when I needed to concentrate on getting | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
well and then they never used it. The other headlines: | :01:17. | :01:21. | |

BBC News at One. The Director-General of the BBC, | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
George Entwistle, has defended the Corporation's response to the Jimmy | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
Savile sex abuse scandal, but accepted it had raised questions of | :02:21. | :02:27. | |
trust. Describing Savile's behaviour as "very, very grave", he | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
told the Commons Media Select Committee there had been no cover- | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
up at the BBC, but said the Culture and Practices at the time had | :02:33. | :02:40. | |
seemed to allow the presenter to get away with it. When asked if it | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
had been a failure by him to ask further questions about a Newsnight | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
investigation into Savile, Mr Entwistle said he didn't want to | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
show "undue interest" and affect editorial decisions. David Sillito | :02:50. | :02:59. | |
After weeks of what the BBC has accepted are horrific revelations | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
of sexual abuse by one of its stars, there were to be many difficult | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
questions for the BBC's Director- General about what it had done or | :03:06. | :03:13. | |
failed to do over Jimmy Savile. BBC's reputation for trust and | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
integrity is one of the most precious assets and yet, do you not | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
accept that that is in jeopardy as a result of some of the suggestions | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
that have been made in the last few weeks? There is no question what | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
Jimmy Savile did and the way the BBC behaved in the years that, the | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
culture and the practises of the BBC seems to allow Jimmy Savile to | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
do what he did will raise questions of trust to us and reputation for | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
us. There is no question about that. This is a gravely serious matter | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
and one cannot look back at it with anything other than horror frankly. | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
So what did he know about the wider allegations of sexual harassment | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
that had come to light in the wake of the scandal? How many are there? | :03:54. | :04:00. | |
How many are you looking at? We're looking at between five and ten | :04:00. | :04:06. | |
serious allegations relating to activities, but over the whole | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
period in question, the Savile period. | :04:09. | :04:15. | |
But what about people employed by the BBC? Well, I believe they are | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
included in them. Following last night's Panorama | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
investigation into the BBC and and Savile, could he say anything about | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
allegations there may have been a paedophile ring operating in the | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
BBC? There was an allegation there was a sort of a paedophile ring at | :04:31. | :04:37. | |
the BBC. Do you have the BBC taken any steps to identify who was | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
involved in that paedophile ring? That's an allegation I have seen | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
made in the last few days and it is something that we are putting our | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
resources at the disposal of the police in. A paedophile ring would | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
be a matter for a police investigation and we are making - | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
we are taking every step we can to support the police in investigating | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
that. And then the crux of last night's | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
programme, the decision by Newsnight's editor last year to not | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
broadcast allegations about Jimmy Savile. | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
Mr Entwistle, do you now accept in the light of last night's Panorama | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
that the decision to drop the Newsnight investigation was a | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
catastrophic mistake I came away from the Panorama firlly of the | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
view -- firmy of the view that that investigation, even if it wasn't | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
ready for transmission should have been allowed to continue. | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
A clear statement then about Newsnight's editorial decision and | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
he was clearer about the justification for that decision. | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
The Director-General has in the past said Newsnight's investigation | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
wasn't focused on the allegations, but the police investigation, but | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
that and other parts of the explanation, it seems, are now | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
wrong. There is no doubt here in my mind | :05:45. | :05:51. | |
that for us to have published a blog with these inaccurate details | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
is regrettable. But the key point was to establish what the | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
inaccuracies were and publish that account which is what we've done. | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
And was there pressure from above when he was told about the | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
investigation by the Head of News, Helen boden just at a time when he | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
was planning two tributes to Jimmy Savile. But you are told that one | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
of the flagship investigative programmes on the BBC is looking | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
into one of the most iconic figures who you are about to commission | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
huge tributes to and you don't want to know what it is? It wasn't | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
because I didn't want to know. Halfs in my mind was the | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
determination not to show undue interest. | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
So even with two independent inquiries inquiries yet to report, | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
there is discomfort within the BBC. Both about what has happened and | :06:39. | :06:47. | |
Since Jimmy Savile's death last year, scores of women and several | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
men have come forward to say that he abused them when they were | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
children or teenagers. Police have identified more than 200 potential | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
victims. Some are now considering legal action. Richard Lister has | :06:56. | :07:03. | |
He was, it seems, a paedophile, hiding in plain sight, the police | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
say there are now 400 lines of inquiry into sexual abuse by Jimmy | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
Savile. And they have identified over 200 possible victims. That's | :07:12. | :07:19. | |
Among them Karin Ward who almost a year ago told the BBC she had been | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
abused by Savile, but Newsnight dropped the story for what were | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
described as editorial reasonsment her interview ran for the first | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
time on last night's Panorama. I can't believe that I allowed such | :07:31. | :07:37. | |
things to happen. That I didn't immediately rush and scream it from | :07:37. | :07:46. | |
the roof tops. Make this stop. Just make it stop. But I didn't. None of | :07:46. | :07:54. | |
us did. Karin says she feels let down for | :07:54. | :08:00. | |
the decision not to tell her story. That's what made me angry, the fact | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
that I had gone through that stress when I should have been getting | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
well and they never used it. Panorama spoke to other victims too. | :08:07. | :08:16. | |
As a nine-year-old Kevin was in a Cub Scout troop invited on to the | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
Jim'll Fix It programme. He said Savile singled him out. | :08:20. | :08:26. | |
REPORTER: Did you think about telling somebody then? No. Why not? | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
I was petrified. The BBC is one of the several organisations | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
scrambling to uncover who knew what about Savile, once lauded for the | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
millions he raised for good causes, the Jimmy Savile Charitable Trust | :08:38. | :08:46. | |
and his Stoke Mandeville Hospital Trust have been forced to closed. | :08:46. | :08:52. | |
We felt the harm has been done. We can't see a future for fund-raising | :08:52. | :08:53. | |
given the association with Jimmy Savile. | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
The scale of his decades of abuse is becoming clear. How and why he | :08:57. | :09:05. | |
wasn't stopped will take sometime Let's speak to Norman Smith who is | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
in Westminster. It was a tough session for the Director-General. | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
How did he deal with it? If the Director-General's aim was to ease | :09:14. | :09:24. | |
:09:24. | :09:24. | ||
the pressure on the BBC, he had the opposite effect and compounded it. | :09:24. | :09:30. | |
You sense the incredulity among the MPs on the committee, the material | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
they uncovered and why it had been dropped. They were amazed about the | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
lack of information he had sought about Savile, about whether there | :09:38. | :09:45. | |
was a paedophile ring at the BBC, about why young girls were bussed | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
into Top of the Pops and how many might have been abused and MPs | :09:49. | :09:58. | |
spoke of a lack of knowledge and a lack of curiosity. Mr Entwistle | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
sought to apportion some of the blame on the editor of Newsnight, | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
Peter Rippon, saying that he, George Entwistle, thought it was a | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
mistake to have not proceeded with the Newsnight investigation and he | :10:10. | :10:17. | |
said he could not comment on Peter Rippon's state of minute when he | :10:17. | :10:22. | |
decided not to continue with the inquiry. Mr Entwistle's argument | :10:22. | :10:28. | |
was that his lack of knowledge was due to the desire to keep editorial | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
distance between himself and Newsnight. For all the blame that | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
maybe attached to Pete Pete, at the -- Peter Rippon at the end of the | :10:35. | :10:40. | |
day, Mr Entwistle is the man where the buck will stop. He said, "I | :10:40. | :10:47. | |
take full responsibility for all BBC jurnism." Journalism.". If the | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
committee has more questions, will there be more witness as soon as. | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
They will consider that, but that's certain. I am struck, Simon, about | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
the similarities between what we saw today and James Murdoch when he | :10:59. | :11:04. | |
appeared before the hacking inquiry. Again and again when Mr Murdoch | :11:04. | :11:10. | |
appear, he he said, I can't remember and I can't recollect and | :11:10. | :11:15. | |
it was similar with Mr Entwistle. It is likely the committee will | :11:15. | :11:21. | |
want to speak to Peter Rippon, Helen Boaden, the head Head of News, | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
where it will end, if you follow through the Murdoch analogy, that | :11:24. | :11:29. | |
ended in the really desmation of the reputation of the Murdochs and | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
there has to be serious concern within the BBC that they do not go | :11:32. | :11:42. | |
down the same road. Norman Smith, thank you very much. | :11:42. | :11:50. | |
Let's talk to David Sillito. What have we learned? When the | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
Pollard Inquiry was announced, it was clearly about managerial | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
control of it. Effectively, had the boss, the man at the top, squashed | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
this report? It is clear from what we have heard today that they will | :12:02. | :12:08. | |
be looking closely at the editorial Line of Control. It was obvious | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
that Peter Rippon was obviously the figure that was, had caused | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
embarrassment to the Director- General by publishing a blog and | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
that's the argument the Director- General has been using over the | :12:20. | :12:25. | |
past two weeks. All of that seems to have been blown out of water now | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
which brought embarrassment about the way the BBC has been defending | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
this decision to drop the Newsnight report. The question about it is | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
two-fold, one is he today said that that report should have carried on. | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
The investigation should have continued. Whose responsibility was | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
that given how many people did know the investigation was underway? | :12:44. | :12:49. | |
Secondly, how was it that they were allowed to go on for two weeks or | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
so saying that for instance it was an investigation into allegations | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
by the investigation into the police investigation and not into | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
the allegations themselves and only last night, at the last moment, you | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
saw in the last minute or two of Panorama, we realised there was | :13:03. | :13:08. | |
another BBC statement that said, "We have changed our minds about | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
that.". What next? We have been told in the inquiry | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
today that the Pollard Review will be a matter of weeks, rather than | :13:17. | :13:22. | |
months, I think, there will be a desire to get this out as quickly | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
and dealt with as quickly as possible. | :13:24. | :13:29. | |
The wider allegations, they can't begin to start that inquiry until | :13:29. | :13:31. | |
the police made its report and given they are following more than | :13:31. | :13:37. | |
400 lines of inquiry, the potential of 200 potential victims, that may | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
take sometime if there is going to be criminal charges brought. | :13:41. | :13:51. | |

badgers in England to control the spread of Bovine TB is being | :17:08. | :17:12. | |

For over a decade it has been the most bitterly contested issue in | :17:34. | :17:38. | |

of this cull actually happening. But today, we have had the dramatic | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
news that the cull of badgers both here in Gloucestershire and down in | :17:47. | :17:56. | |
:17:57. | :18:00. | ||
They are secretive creatures, much loved, and iconic British species. | :18:00. | :18:05. | |
But they have been blamed for spreading bovine TB. Many farmers | :18:05. | :18:10. | |
argued they should be killed and the Government agreed. The shooting | :18:10. | :18:17. | |
was about to start. Now, it is all change. It has been postponed at | :18:17. | :18:23. | |
least until next year. For farmers like this one it will be a bitter | :18:23. | :18:32. | |
disappointment. Three of his cows have tested positive for UCI -- TB. | :18:32. | :18:37. | |
It is a sentence with no appeal. They are already on their way to | :18:37. | :18:42. | |
abattoir. I do not understand animal lovers will sit by and watch | :18:42. | :18:46. | |
this disease spread across the countryside. We need people with | :18:46. | :18:50. | |
courage to say let's get this horrible thing done. Let's get back | :18:50. | :18:56. | |
to healthy cows. This is a last- minute reprieve for badgers in two | :18:56. | :19:01. | |
pilot zones in Somerset and Gloucestershire. Around 5500 would | :19:01. | :19:08. | |
have been shot. Add to delays in paperwork and calculation was made | :19:08. | :19:12. | |
them was not enough time to achieve that number before the winter close | :19:12. | :19:17. | |
to season. And so this morning the Environment Secretary was preparing | :19:17. | :19:22. | |
to announce it had been put back. The Government insists that it is | :19:22. | :19:28. | |
not a U-turn. By starting the pilot next summer we can build on the | :19:28. | :19:34. | |
work that has been done and ensure it will conform to the scientific | :19:34. | :19:40. | |
criteria and evidence-based. I know this will be disappointing for many, | :19:40. | :19:45. | |
particularly farmers in the two pilot areas. That is not the view | :19:45. | :19:50. | |
of those who campaign against. They are claiming victory and believe it | :19:50. | :19:56. | |
will now never happen. I am overjoyed. I hope the Government | :19:56. | :20:00. | |
have the guts to climb down completely, instead of dragging it | :20:00. | :20:06. | |
out, to say it was a terrible idea and they should not have done it. | :20:07. | :20:11. | |
The guns might be silent but the bitter debate will go on. Farmers | :20:11. | :20:18. | |
continuing to press for the badger cull. They are in no doubt of the | :20:18. | :20:23. | |

It is two weeks until the US presidential election and for | :21:21. | :21:23. | |
President Obama and Mitt Romney have been trying to win over voters | :21:23. | :21:29. | |
in their final TV debate. The theme was foreign affairs with Iran's | :21:29. | :21:33. | |
nuclear policy and Afghanistan top of the agenda. President Obama | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
dismissed his challenger as wronged and reckless on major issues while | :21:37. | :21:42. | |
Mitt Romney has accused the President of weakening their global | :21:42. | :21:48. | |
leadership. A final head-to-head, this time on | :21:48. | :21:52. | |
foreign affairs. They would go around the world in 90 minutes, | :21:52. | :21:58. | |
devoting a large chunk of time to the threat of a nuclear Iran. | :21:58. | :22:02. | |
have the challenges we have had with Iran is they have looked at | :22:02. | :22:07. | |
the administration and felt it is not as strong as it needed to be. I | :22:07. | :22:13. | |
think they saw weakness. The clock is ticking. We will not allow Iran | :22:13. | :22:16. | |
to perpetually engaged in negotiations that lead nowhere. I | :22:16. | :22:21. | |
have been clear to them. President denied a report his | :22:21. | :22:26. | |
administration would soon enter one-on-one negotiations with Iran. | :22:26. | :22:34. | |
Mitt Romney said more alone would not end violent extremism. Week | :22:34. | :22:40. | |
cannot kill our way out of this mess. He promised economic | :22:40. | :22:45. | |
development and deterrent through strength. You mentioned the Navy. | :22:45. | :22:51. | |
We have fewer ships the 1916. We also have fewer horses and bayonets | :22:51. | :22:56. | |
because the nature of the military has changed. We have aircraft | :22:56. | :23:02. | |
carriers. We had ships that go under water. The dividing lines | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
were thin on policy towards Afghanistan, Pakistan and Syria. | :23:06. | :23:11. | |
Mitt Romney seized every chance to turn the debate towards home. | :23:11. | :23:16. | |
fulfil our role in the world, America must be strong. America | :23:16. | :23:21. | |
must eat. For that to happen we have to strengthen the economy. -- | :23:21. | :23:26. | |
must lead. You cannot have people struggling to get a job. They | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
remained mostly composed, unlike last week. The president more | :23:30. | :23:34. | |
fluent on the issues he deals with day-to-day. The challenge are | :23:34. | :23:38. | |
trying hard to sound like a Commander In Chief. We have been | :23:38. | :23:43. | |
through tough times but we always bounce back because of our | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
character. Because we pulled together. If I have the privilege | :23:46. | :23:50. | |
of being President for another four years, I will listen to your voices | :23:50. | :23:55. | |
and fight for your family is and I will work every day to make sure | :23:55. | :23:59. | |
America continues to be the greatest nation on earth. | :23:59. | :24:02. | |
Washington is broken. I know what it takes to get this country back | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
and we will work with good democrats and Republicans to do | :24:05. | :24:12. | |
that. And it was the last chance for America to weigh up the two | :24:12. | :24:18. | |
men's side by side. We will learn the verdict in two weeks. | :24:18. | :24:22. | |
Lawyers for a Pakistani man whose father was killed in an alleged CIA | :24:22. | :24:27. | |
eight drone strike up a High Court to challenge Britain's role in | :24:27. | :24:30. | |
drone attacks. They challenge the lawfulness of the listening centre | :24:30. | :24:34. | |
at GCHQ to pass on what they call locational intelligence to the | :24:34. | :24:42. | |
United States. The claimant in this case is a man | :24:42. | :24:47. | |
called Noor Khan, a Pakistani who lives in the tribal areas of that | :24:47. | :24:52. | |
country. He said his father was killed in a suspected CIA a train | :24:52. | :24:58. | |
strike last year. He is not in court -- and drone strike. His | :24:58. | :25:05. | |
lawyers argue for a judicial review to look at whether any British | :25:05. | :25:10. | |
intelligence co-operation is legal. The basis of the claim is a | :25:10. | :25:15. | |
newspaper report that said GCHQ passes on what is called locational | :25:15. | :25:19. | |
intelligence, information about suspects and their movements to the | :25:19. | :25:24. | |
Americans and that this could be used in these strikes. The | :25:24. | :25:28. | |
Government in Britain will not comment on whether there is such | :25:28. | :25:34. | |
intelligence co-operation. They have a policy of not confirming or | :25:34. | :25:38. | |
denying the passing of such information. Their lawyers are | :25:38. | :25:42. | |
expected to argue this is not a matter of the court can offer a | :25:42. | :25:47. | |
judgment on. It is a two-day hearing expected to close tomorrow | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
and after that we will learn if there will be a hearing on this | :25:51. | :25:55. | |
matter. A driver appeared in court accused | :25:55. | :26:00. | |
of murdering a mother-of-three and attempting to murder 13 pedestrians, | :26:00. | :26:05. | |
including seven children in hit and run incident in Cardiff. Matthew | :26:05. | :26:09. | |
Tvrdon is accused of deliberately driving into parents and young | :26:09. | :26:13. | |
children on Friday. He appeared at court via video link and was | :26:13. | :26:20. | |

The oldest surviving pilot from the Battle of Britain, William Walker, | :28:22. | :28:27. | |
has died. He survived being shot down in his | :28:27. | :28:36. | |
Spitfire over the English Channel. Let's catch up with the weather | :28:36. | :28:37. | |
forecast. It is grey and dull out there again. | :28:37. | :28:41. | |
It is like yesterday. We have had It is like yesterday. We have had | :28:41. | :28:47. | |
the mist and fog. It lifted into cloud. If we look at the satellite | :28:47. | :28:50. | |
picture, it looks similar to yesterday's. Underneath this wave | :28:50. | :28:54. | |
of cloud is much of the country, but there is a hold across the | :28:54. | :28:57. | |
north-west corner of Scotland and here we have got some of the best | :28:57. | :29:03. | |
sunshine. But it was chilly this morning. That sunshine has been | :29:03. | :29:07. | |
getting to work and temperatures should lift to 10 Celsius. We could | :29:07. | :29:12. | |
see a few breaks in the cloud developing. | :29:12. | :29:16. | |
Move further iland and that's where we have the grey skies. | :29:16. | :29:21. | |
Temperatures rise nothing the mid- teens and still mild. It is thick | :29:21. | :29:24. | |
cloud sitting across the Midlands and parts of Northern England. We | :29:24. | :29:28. | |
will see the rain coming and going. Later, the chance of sunshine | :29:28. | :29:32. | |
developing along the South Coast of Kent. For tonight, it is the cloud | :29:32. | :29:36. | |
that will dominate. We will see mist here. Not as much fog as | :29:36. | :29:40. | |
recent nights and still some clear skies holding on through Central | :29:40. | :29:46. | |
Scotland. For our towns and cities through Scotland 5 or 6 Celsius. | :29:46. | :29:51. | |
Nor Nor Northern Ireland and England and Wales, we are staying | :29:51. | :29:56. | |
in double figures. A mild start on Wednesday. It is another cloudy day, | :29:56. | :30:03. | |
I am hoping with the breeze picking up, we could start start to see | :30:03. | :30:09. | |
brightness. Temperatures for Scotland 10 Celsius to 11 Celsius. | :30:09. | :30:13. | |
Very Very little change on Thursday with the cloudy skies. Perhaps more | :30:13. | :30:18. | |
rain develop as we move across Scotland. Elsewhere, it is grey, | :30:18. | :30:21. | |
dull and damp with temperatures in the mid-teens. It is not until | :30:21. | :30:28. | |
Friday that we see a change. The wind change is driving down colder | :30:28. | :30:35. | |
air. Sunshine across Scotland along with wintry showers. You will start | :30:35. | :30:39. | |
to see temperatures drop down a bit, but really significant across parts | :30:39. | :30:45. | |
of Scotland. In the south, by the time we get to Saturday, the | :30:45. | :30:49. | |
northerly wind has set in. You can see the temperatures at 6 or 7 | :30:49. | :30:52. | |
Celsius. At least, there will be sunshine across parts of the | :30:52. | :30:56. | |
country. There will be showers in the north and the east and they | :30:56. | :31:00. | |
could be wintry at times and you will feel chilly if you are | :31:00. | :31:05. | |
