:01:34. > :01:38.Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at One. The director of
:01:38. > :01:42.public prosecution sz to review why Jimmy Savile wasn't invested over
:01:42. > :01:45.allegations made against him in 2009. The announcement was made
:01:45. > :01:49.today by the Prime Minister. It's been revealed that organisations
:01:49. > :01:52.working with victims of sexual assault say the scandal has led to
:01:52. > :01:58.an unprecedentsed rise in the number of people reporting
:01:58. > :02:01.allegations of abuse. The NSPCC alone says it has received 161
:02:01. > :02:07.calls directly relating to allegations concerning Jimmy Savile.
:02:07. > :02:10.It also had 105 contacted prompted by the story by adults who wanted
:02:10. > :02:14.to discuss their own experience of ak buezed as children. Here's our
:02:14. > :02:18.social affairs correspondent, Michael Buchanan. Three weeks of
:02:18. > :02:20.sordid allegations against Jimmy Savile has finally had one positive
:02:20. > :02:26.consequence - an unprecedented number of people have reported
:02:26. > :02:31.allegations of abuse. The publicity has given people the courage to
:02:31. > :02:34.call help lines seeking support. This small charity has been
:02:34. > :02:38.inundated with calls and e-mails. They're desperate for extra
:02:38. > :02:44.volunteers and resources to handle the demand. The national
:02:44. > :02:48.association for people abused in childhood say they've had 3,700
:02:48. > :02:52.calls over the past three weeks. They usually receive about 700 over
:02:52. > :02:58.the period. The Lucy Faithfull Foundation has seen a 50% increase
:02:58. > :03:03.in call volumes. Rape crisis centres report a 20% increase.
:03:03. > :03:07.We've seen unprecedentsed deluge of callers, people making contact with
:03:07. > :03:11.us, survivors of abuse, telling us about stuff that happened to them,
:03:11. > :03:16.mostly a long time ago. Many of the people who call this help line talk
:03:16. > :03:20.about abuse that happened years, even techades ago. A lot are not
:03:20. > :03:24.looking for retribution, however. Police investigations, arrests and
:03:24. > :03:27.convictions. They simply want to be heard. For those willing and able
:03:27. > :03:31.to go to the police, the Prime Minister today promised they'd
:03:31. > :03:35.receive support and that allegations of abuse wouldn't again
:03:35. > :03:38.be dismissed. Government will do everything it can do. Other
:03:38. > :03:43.institutions must do what they can so we can learn the lessons for
:03:43. > :03:46.this and it can never happen again. More support for victims comes from
:03:46. > :03:54.the Director Of Public Prosecutions. Speaking to the Times for the
:03:54. > :03:58.failure of men prosecuted for graming girls in Rochdale, he said
:03:58. > :04:02."If we're honest it's the credibility issue that has caused
:04:02. > :04:05.these cases not to be prosecuted in the past." The torrent of
:04:05. > :04:09.allegation that's have come to light in recent weeks have shown
:04:09. > :04:15.that many victims, long hidden, are willing to come forward. Now the
:04:16. > :04:19.authorities have to believe them. It's now been confirmed that the
:04:19. > :04:22.decision not to prosecute Jimmy Savile in 2009 is to be reviewed by
:04:22. > :04:25.the Crown Prosecution Service. David Cameron told MPs that the
:04:25. > :04:32.scandal left many institutions, particularly the BBC, with
:04:32. > :04:36.questions to answer. David Sillito reports. The BBC admits it has many
:04:36. > :04:41.questions to answer over Jimmy Savile, but today, it's the
:04:41. > :04:42.Government that's been doing some of the questioning. These are very
:04:42. > :04:47.serious allegations. It's absolutely right that the
:04:47. > :04:52.Government reflects the deep level of public concern. What's important
:04:52. > :04:57.now is that the inquiries that are already working in looking at these
:04:57. > :05:02.allegations are able to continue to do so and get to the bottom of
:05:02. > :05:08.these problems. And minutes later, in Parliament, came this: Could I
:05:08. > :05:14.ask my right honourable friend whether he will ensure that the
:05:14. > :05:20.full pan play of Government powers is used to investigate the
:05:20. > :05:23.predatory activities of the late Mr Jimmy Savile? I think my honourable
:05:23. > :05:28.friend makes a very important point. The allegations and what seems to
:05:28. > :05:31.have happened are completely appalling. I think it is shocking
:05:31. > :05:34.the entire country. These allegations leave many institutions,
:05:34. > :05:40.perhaps particularly the BBC, with serious questions to answer.
:05:40. > :05:44.There's also been a letter from Maria Miller to the BBC chairman
:05:45. > :05:49.Chris Patten, saying "Very real concerns are being raised about
:05:49. > :05:51.public trust and confidence in the BBC." In response he said "You know
:05:52. > :05:55.how seriously the trust takes the allegations surrounding Jimmy
:05:55. > :05:57.Savile and the need to maintain public trust in the BBC. I know you
:05:57. > :06:02.will not want to give any impression that you're questioning
:06:02. > :06:07.the independence of the BBC." A Conservative MP has said those
:06:07. > :06:11.remarks should be withdrawn. But a former BBC chairman says he's
:06:11. > :06:15.concerned about the demand for immediate answers. That will take
:06:15. > :06:20.time to establish and although, we live in a 24-hour news environment,
:06:20. > :06:23.that doesn't mean that you can't take the time to go through the e-
:06:23. > :06:28.mails, to talk to everybody involved and find out what really
:06:28. > :06:34.happened. We're in danger of not allowing that investigation to
:06:34. > :06:38.reach its proper conclusion. Meanwhile the team behind the
:06:38. > :06:42.Newsnight investigation into Savile, the story that was not broadcast
:06:42. > :06:45.last year arrived for work. The only comment on the fact that
:06:45. > :06:49.Panorama had this week finally given the people they spoke to a
:06:49. > :06:55.chance to be heard. I've been asked not to do interviews, yes, I'm
:06:55. > :06:59.happy that our story is out there. Our Home Affairs Correspondent
:06:59. > :07:04.Danny Shaw is in Central London. There is to be a review then. What
:07:04. > :07:07.exactly is your analysis of what Keir Starmer said today? What he
:07:07. > :07:12.has said is that he has already sought a review of the four cases
:07:12. > :07:15.which were adjudged by the Crown Prosecution Service in 2009 to
:07:16. > :07:20.contain insufficient evidence to proceed with the prosecution. That
:07:20. > :07:26.review has concluded that the decision making was sound. He says
:07:26. > :07:29.that out of an abundance of caution, he's asked his principal legal
:07:29. > :07:32.advisor, the most senior person at the Crown Prosecution Service,
:07:32. > :07:36.apart from Keir Starmer in terms of legal advice, to have another look,
:07:36. > :07:39.just to double check that the decisions reached were correct. But
:07:39. > :07:44.there's another element to this as well. He's clearly concerned that
:07:44. > :07:47.in cases where there isn't enough evidence to prosecute, where
:07:47. > :07:51.victims, for instance, don't want to go to court, that the matter
:07:51. > :07:55.shouldn't be just thrown away, it should perhaps be referred to other
:07:55. > :07:58.agencies, possibly Social Services. He's going to discuss with the
:07:58. > :08:03.Attorney-General whether there is a procedure that can be adopted in
:08:03. > :08:09.those cases where allegations which can't be proceeded with do, though,
:08:09. > :08:14.get referred to other agencies and institutions. Thank you very much.
:08:14. > :08:18.Sir Norman Bettison, the Chief Constable of West Yorkshire Police,
:08:18. > :08:23.has announced his resignation. He is at the centre of criticism in
:08:23. > :08:29.the aftermath of the Hillsborough disaster. Let's speak to our
:08:29. > :08:34.correspondent Judith Moritz in Wakefield. That's right, this news
:08:34. > :08:37.came within the last half hour or so. Sir Norman Bettison, this
:08:37. > :08:41.morning, offered his resignation. It comes in the wake of heavy
:08:41. > :08:45.criticism follows the Hillsborough independent report. The vice
:08:45. > :08:48.chairman of the West Yorkshire Police Authority is with me now. I
:08:48. > :08:50.want to ask you about the circumstances of Sir Norman
:08:50. > :08:54.resignation, how you heard about, it how he offer today and whether
:08:54. > :09:01.you accept today immediately? heard by a telephone conversation
:09:01. > :09:05.about 8am. Sir Norman was offering his resignation. I had a talk to
:09:05. > :09:09.Sir Norman over the telephone at 11am. What did he say to you? Is
:09:09. > :09:12.the feeling really that this has all been a distraction, the
:09:12. > :09:17.Hillsborough criticism, has been a distraction for him? He didn't give
:09:17. > :09:22.me any firm reasons himself. He has put a press statement out, in which
:09:22. > :09:27.he's making his points there. says that he refutes any wrongdoing.
:09:27. > :09:31.So I wonder, then, why he's felt it necessary to go. There have been
:09:31. > :09:35.many calls for him to resign. you consider the last few weeks,
:09:35. > :09:43.consider the amount of prshure that's been building up since the
:09:43. > :09:48.report -- pressure. The members of Parliament discussing it, people
:09:48. > :09:52.making accusations of what he has and hasn't done. I think he came to
:09:52. > :09:58.the conclusion that he is running a large, important force, it's better
:09:58. > :10:02.to leave that to someone else. Thank you very much. One thing I
:10:02. > :10:06.should add is that it's my understanding that Sir Norman goes
:10:06. > :10:09.with his full pension rights, that is something that may exercise
:10:09. > :10:12.members of campaign groups on behalf of Hillsborough. But they
:10:12. > :10:18.have said today that they are delighted to hear this news. It is
:10:18. > :10:21.something that they wanted very much.
:10:21. > :10:24.Thousands more women will be able to bring equal pay claims against
:10:24. > :10:31.their former employers on the basis of a ruling from the Supreme Court
:10:31. > :10:36.today. It's decided that a claims from a group of employees can be
:10:36. > :10:38.heard at civil courts, which would open the way for cases going back
:10:38. > :10:42.six years. More details from our employment correspondent, John
:10:42. > :10:47.Moylan. The law is clear, men and women who do similar work should be
:10:47. > :10:52.paid the same. But in many work places pay arrangements have been
:10:52. > :10:59.out of step and in recent years, tens of thousands of council
:11:00. > :11:06.workers have won payments due to sex discrimination. And there could
:11:06. > :11:10.be more to come. Yay! Today these former Birmingham City Council
:11:10. > :11:18.employees found out they'll be able to make claims too, despite having
:11:18. > :11:21.retired years ago. Pam and Mary are amongst more than 170 women
:11:21. > :11:26.involved in this case who believe they were unfairly treated.
:11:26. > :11:30.Disgusting, be honest, we were stabbed in the back, weren't we?
:11:30. > :11:34.Truthfully, we were, weren't we? were, just took for granted. If we
:11:35. > :11:38.hadn't have taken it up with a solicitor or read of it in the
:11:38. > :11:42.press, we would have just let it go any way. Look how much money they'd
:11:43. > :11:46.have made out of us. Birmingham City Council argued that equal pay
:11:46. > :11:51.cases should be heard in employment tribunals, where your right to
:11:51. > :11:55.claim expires six months after leaving your job. But the court
:11:55. > :12:00.disagreed, which means that civil courts may now be used which can
:12:00. > :12:02.consider cases going back six years. Previously when they've tried to
:12:02. > :12:06.make an equal pay claim, they've been told they're out of time
:12:06. > :12:15.because the limit was six months. This judgment means that they can
:12:15. > :12:19.wait six years to bring their claim. The council faces a liability of
:12:19. > :12:23.hundreds of millions of pounds linked to pay cases. In a statement,
:12:23. > :12:26.it says that it was reviewing the judgment in detail before
:12:26. > :12:31.considering its options going forward and that it would be making
:12:31. > :12:35.no further comment at this stage. The ruling could have implications
:12:35. > :12:41.for thousands of people, who have worked in both the public and
:12:42. > :12:43.they were paid less than their colleagues simply because of their
:12:43. > :12:48.sex. David Cameron has insisted the
:12:48. > :12:51.Government is committed to ensuring prisoners don't get the right to
:12:51. > :12:54.vote. His comments follow a report that the coalition is in
:12:54. > :13:02.negotiations with the European Court following their ruling that
:13:02. > :13:06.it's illegal to bar all prisoners from writing -- voting. We can
:13:06. > :13:09.speak to our political correspondent Norman Smith. Is the
:13:09. > :13:14.the Prime Minister heading for a show down with Europe over this
:13:14. > :13:19.issue? The Prime Minister could not have been clearer. There was no
:13:19. > :13:24.ambiguity, no wriggle room, no long grass to hide in. He said be in no
:13:24. > :13:27.doubt, prisoners will not get the vote under this Government. This,
:13:27. > :13:30.despite the fact the European Court has clearly ruled that you cannot
:13:30. > :13:33.have a blanket ban on prisoners getting the vote. The Attorney-
:13:33. > :13:37.General saying it will damage our international reputation if we
:13:37. > :13:41.ignore the court and the fact that we have always obeyed the court. On
:13:41. > :13:46.this issue, Mr Cameron appears to have decided to make a stand. The
:13:46. > :13:50.view in Government that Parliament is sovereign when it comes to
:13:50. > :13:54.prisoners' votes. What Mr Cameron seems to be intending is to hold a
:13:54. > :13:56.further vote in the Commons on this issue in the hope that will
:13:56. > :14:03.underscore the level of Parliamentary opposition and also,
:14:03. > :14:07.in the words of Mr Cameron's spokesman, clarify the legal
:14:07. > :14:11.position. Whatever the legal pros and cons the politics of this are
:14:11. > :14:15.utterly, brutally simple. Mr Cameron knows on this issue he
:14:15. > :14:18.cannot cave into the European Court without inflaming opinion on his
:14:18. > :14:28.back benches, more broadly across Parliament and in the media.
:14:28. > :14:30.
:14:30. > :14:34.The top story. The Crown Prosecution Service will review its
:14:34. > :14:38.decision not to prosecute Jimmy Savile over sex abuse allegations
:14:38. > :14:45.in 2009. And the Poppy Appeal is launched in Trafalgar Square aiming
:14:45. > :14:48.to raise �42 million. In London: A tribute to London, a
:14:48. > :14:51.documentary of the city, past and present, is nominated for an
:14:51. > :15:00.international award. And the age of the steam train makes a comeback in
:15:00. > :15:04.London for one day only as the Tube prepares to celebrate 150 years.
:15:04. > :15:10.The threat level from dissident republicans to Great Britain has
:15:10. > :15:13.been downgraded to moderate. The degree shows the Security Service
:15:13. > :15:18.regard an attack from groups such as the Real IRA as possible but not
:15:19. > :15:24.lightly. The threat level in Northern Ireland remain severe. Our
:15:24. > :15:29.correspondent reports. A sudden rise in dissident
:15:29. > :15:34.republican violence four years ago has been followed by a gradual
:15:34. > :15:38.decrease. Groups such as the Real IRA remain armoured, active and
:15:38. > :15:45.dangerous, but the chances of their mounting attacks in London have
:15:45. > :15:52.reduced. They have attacked the city before. Aid device went off at
:15:52. > :15:55.the BBC in 2001, no one was killed -- a bomb. Two years ago,
:15:55. > :16:01.dissidents were preparing to strike again in Great Britain but today
:16:01. > :16:07.the threat level was reduced by MI5 to moderate. It means that an
:16:07. > :16:11.attack in London is possible but not likely. Why the change? Looking
:16:11. > :16:17.at activity in Britain in recent times. A telephone warning that
:16:17. > :16:21.turned out to be nothing. We see on occasion and ability to engage in
:16:21. > :16:26.deadly attacks, but that is the exception. That threat came just
:16:26. > :16:31.before the Queen's visit to Dublin last year. At the time there were
:16:31. > :16:36.fears of an attack in England or Ireland. Nothing happened. The
:16:36. > :16:40.level of threat may have gone down in London but in Belfast it is a
:16:40. > :16:45.different story. Officially it is described as severe, in other words
:16:45. > :16:48.attacks are highly likely. In the House of Commons the Northern
:16:48. > :16:54.Ireland Secretary said dissidents would not be allowed to wreck the
:16:54. > :17:01.peace process. In Great Britain and Northern Ireland the Government is
:17:01. > :17:06.focused on terrorism and will use all means to refute it. Dissident
:17:06. > :17:09.republics -- Republicans have had setbacks but they still have
:17:09. > :17:12.weapons and remain determined use them.
:17:12. > :17:17.Ministers in Cardiff should in principle be allowed to borrow
:17:17. > :17:20.money to pay for large capital projects. The UK and Welsh
:17:20. > :17:26.governments agreed the move on condition that responsibility for
:17:26. > :17:32.some taxes is also handed to the Welsh government. Our political
:17:32. > :17:36.editor is at the Welsh Assembly. What has been announced?
:17:36. > :17:40.This is an agreement in principle between the governments. There
:17:40. > :17:45.Rameau's Pacifics and no funding details and no change of
:17:45. > :17:50.immediately -- there are no specific details. Both governments
:17:50. > :17:58.are keen to go down a road that sees the Welsh government for the
:17:58. > :18:05.first time given powers to pay for big capital projects and for the UK
:18:05. > :18:10.government to 0.2 accountability in the way it is funded. -- point to
:18:10. > :18:14.accountability. Danny Alexander, the Chief Secretary to the Treasury
:18:14. > :18:21.said in his view it is a signal that Wales is about to take a major
:18:21. > :18:24.step forward. Fiscal devolution is a necessary step and opens up
:18:24. > :18:30.opportunities to boost financial accountability and provide greater
:18:30. > :18:34.spending power. For the first time, the UK government agrees that the
:18:34. > :18:38.Welsh government should be given capital borrowing powers on the
:18:38. > :18:44.condition that this is supported by the Independent revenue stream.
:18:44. > :18:49.There are conditions attached. Absolutely, the revenue stream, if
:18:49. > :18:52.you want to borrow you have to be able to pay back and the
:18:52. > :18:59.significance is how, and that is where devolving tax-raising powers
:18:59. > :19:02.comes in. The key thing is recommendations of a commission on
:19:02. > :19:07.devolving tax-raising powers. They will report next month and if they
:19:07. > :19:11.say yes to that, if it happens, the UK government made it clear they
:19:11. > :19:21.wanted to be ambitious and if that happens the Government in Wales can
:19:21. > :19:29.
:19:29. > :19:37.borrow against the revenue stream. There are far too few details
:19:37. > :19:41.according to Plaid Cwymru. Today's retired households are
:19:41. > :19:46.significantly better off than their equivalents a quarter of a century
:19:46. > :19:55.ago. Official figures showed their average disposable income was over
:19:55. > :19:59.17 and a half 1,000 in 2011, 2 pied -- 2.5 times higher than in 1977.
:19:59. > :20:05.They are better off but there are still large numbers struggling to
:20:05. > :20:08.survive on low income. A new food labelling system is set
:20:08. > :20:14.to be introduced to give shoppers clear information on the fat, sugar
:20:14. > :20:18.and salt content of food. It will be voluntary but the Government is
:20:18. > :20:24.confident it has the industry on board.
:20:24. > :20:31.Food labelling can be confusing. There is no agreed approach and
:20:31. > :20:37.shoppers face many numbers and symbols detailing calories, and fat,
:20:37. > :20:42.sugar and salt. It makes it hard to compare products and which are

:20:59. > :21:05.responsibility to make sure we lead and live healthier and happier
:21:05. > :21:08.lives. How the labels will work has not been decided but they will have
:21:08. > :21:18.a traffic light system and information on guideline daily
:21:18. > :21:25.amounts. And also the words of high, medium and low. His people
:21:25. > :21:33.understand it, it will be helpful - - if people understand it. It will
:21:34. > :21:39.make a lot of difference. Some campaigners are sceptical, saying

:21:53. > :21:57.Ministers will have to sell the plan when they meet food companies
:21:57. > :22:04.and health campaigners this week to agree on a design. They say it
:22:05. > :22:10.should be ready by summer next year. The funeral of a mother and five
:22:10. > :22:14.children who died in a house fire is taking place in Essex. Sabah
:22:14. > :22:19.Usmani and her children aged between 12 and three years died
:22:19. > :22:24.last week. Their father, Dr Abdul Shakoor, was the only survivor.
:22:24. > :22:29.Police originally treated the fire as a suspected arson attack but it
:22:29. > :22:32.is likely now that the fire was a tragic accident.
:22:32. > :22:38.Over 75 years since it began, analogue television has been
:22:38. > :22:44.switched off in the UK. The digital switch-over which began five years

:22:50. > :22:54.but first Teletext service. The red of the Tour de France has
:22:54. > :22:58.been unveiled in Paris as professional cycling tries to put
:22:58. > :23:04.allegations of doping behind it. It will be the 100 edition of the Tour
:23:04. > :23:07.de France and highlights will be a night-time finish in the Champs-
:23:07. > :23:16.Elysees. It comes after Lance Armstrong was stripped of his seven
:23:16. > :23:22.Tour de France victories. Unveiled for the 100 time, the
:23:22. > :23:27.route for the most gruelling race in cycling. While the riders in
:23:27. > :23:32.next summer's Tour de France know where they are going, when that
:23:33. > :23:37.course was revealed, the directions to sport was less clear. Lance
:23:37. > :23:41.Armstrong was the greatest champion of the event until two days ago
:23:41. > :23:45.when he was stripped of his titles and banned for life. He continues
:23:45. > :23:52.to deny he was a drugs cheat but the current stars want him to come
:23:52. > :23:57.clean. Anybody who has done something, confesses, it is not
:23:57. > :24:02.fair that I have to sit and answer questions. But it is up to not just
:24:02. > :24:12.one person, but everyone involved with anything that can damage my
:24:12. > :24:12.
:24:12. > :24:16.career, anyone who can damage the sport right now, it is frustrating.
:24:16. > :24:20.By disgracing the sport, Lance Armstrong has left cycling in
:24:21. > :24:26.crisis. A former team-mate to testified against him believes
:24:26. > :24:33.there is a road to redemption. Every scandal has its purpose.
:24:33. > :24:40.Every obstacle has a reason for being back and to be able to
:24:40. > :24:46.circumvent it and get over it, that only leads to progress. As the
:24:46. > :24:51.sport tries to recover, Britain is leading the charge. Bradley Wiggins
:24:51. > :24:54.became the first Tour de France winner for his country. The 2013
:24:54. > :25:00.course presents a greater challenge, but for the Champion, instead of
:25:00. > :25:04.excitement, there is anger. It is difficult to convince some people
:25:04. > :25:11.because of the precedent that has been sacked and ingrained for so
:25:11. > :25:16.long. I have not got the answer -- that has been set. A feature of
:25:16. > :25:21.next summer's race is a night-time finish at the end of the final
:25:21. > :25:28.stage in the French capital. As the Tour de France celebrates 100 years
:25:28. > :25:33.of history, it continues to be haunted by ghosts of the past.
:25:33. > :25:37.Each year, the Royal British Legion works to provide care and support
:25:37. > :25:41.to personnel returning from conflict, and to their families.
:25:41. > :25:46.The work relies on money raised from the Poppy Appeal which is
:25:46. > :25:54.being launched today. This year, the Legion hopes to raise �42
:25:54. > :25:59.million. This is one of the projects funded
:25:59. > :26:02.by the Royal British Legion's Poppy Appeal. It is a �30 million sports
:26:02. > :26:11.and training centre in Lilleshall for those who have served on the
:26:11. > :26:15.front line and suffered life changing injuries. The centre is an
:26:15. > :26:21.essential element to recovery for men like Sapper Clive Smith who
:26:21. > :26:25.lost his legs in a roadside bomb in Afghanistan two years ago. He is
:26:25. > :26:30.one of the people fronting the appeal. 20 years ago, if this
:26:30. > :26:36.happened, the networks would not have been as supported and funded
:26:36. > :26:40.as they are now, which is down to the public's generosity to support
:26:40. > :26:46.those coming back. Alesha Dixon is among celebrities lending their
:26:46. > :26:51.support. She hopes the appeal will engage a new generation, but
:26:51. > :26:56.wearing a poppy is not only about honouring the sacrifice of the past,
:26:56. > :27:02.it is linked to the presence -- present. Wearing it with pride, I
:27:02. > :27:07.do every year. It is important to stand together as a country.
:27:07. > :27:16.Steer the appeal raised a record �40 million and the aim this year
:27:16. > :27:21.is to go one better with a target of �42 million.

:27:25. > :27:30.revolves around weighty issues as conflict resolution and
:27:30. > :27:35.peacekeeping. In a departure from his schedule, he met a celebrity is
:27:35. > :27:41.in an attempt to reach out to young people from different social groups.
:27:41. > :27:45.The pictures contain flash photography. And one of these
:27:45. > :27:53.celebrities he met was the global pop sensation and fellow South
:27:53. > :28:00.Korean, Psy, his track Gangnam Style has been a worldwide hit. The

:28:06. > :28:15.that, it was not too bad! Shall we that, it was not too bad! Shall we
:28:15. > :28:19.just move on with the weather? The weather it is cloudy. We have
:28:19. > :28:24.grey skies across the country. There will be changes and I will
:28:24. > :28:31.come to those in a moment. The satellite shows much of the country
:28:31. > :28:36.under cloud. There are breaks in the cloud. Across southern parts of
:28:36. > :28:42.Scotland we see brighter skies, but cloudy across northern Scotland and
:28:42. > :28:45.maybe some rain. Northern Ireland keeping the cloud. Across the west

:29:02. > :29:08.showers in East Anglia, the East Midlands and up to Yorkshire.
:29:08. > :29:15.Tonight, the return a cloud across England and Wales. You might see
:29:16. > :29:21.breaks in the cloud in parts of Scotland, turning chilly here. We
:29:21. > :29:27.could also see a touch of frost in the countryside. The cold air is a
:29:27. > :29:32.sign of things to come and it will move into parts of Scotland and
:29:32. > :29:37.Northern Ireland, breaking up the cloud, but we keep the damp weather
:29:37. > :29:43.across southern areas with temperatures around 13 degrees. The
:29:43. > :29:47.changes are due to a weather system. It is moving down the country.
:29:47. > :29:52.Temperatures will drop and along with that we will see increasing
:29:52. > :29:56.amounts of sunshine. This week we have been used to temperatures that
