:01:45. > :01:48.Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at 1.00pm. There've been
:01:48. > :01:52.more deaths this morning, as the violence in the Middle East
:01:52. > :01:58.intensifies. Three Israelis were killed by rocket attacks launched
:01:58. > :02:01.from Gaza. They died when a four- storey building in the Southern
:02:01. > :02:04.Israeli town of Kiryat Malachi was hit. The deaths follow the killing
:02:04. > :02:08.of the Hamas' military chief in Gaza yesterday in an Israeli
:02:08. > :02:11.offensive which has killed 12 other Palestinians. In that time, 180
:02:11. > :02:17.rockets have been fired into southern Israel from Gaza. Let's
:02:17. > :02:21.cross to Ben Brown who's in Kiryat Malachi.
:02:21. > :02:26.Yes, we are in front of that block of flats where the rocket hit. It
:02:26. > :02:31.ploughed into the top floor of the block. You can see that gaping hole.
:02:31. > :02:35.There were two families. They heard the air raid sirens and tried to
:02:35. > :02:41.get down the stairs. They didn't have time to get to shelters. There
:02:41. > :02:44.were three adults killed, two men and a woman and a young child who
:02:44. > :02:48.was injured in that attack. Our correspondent reports now from
:02:48. > :02:54.Jerusalem on where Israel goes next with its military campaign against
:02:54. > :03:00.Hamas. Running for cover in Israeli town
:03:00. > :03:05.of Kiryat Malachi, sirens warning of another rocket attack.
:03:05. > :03:09.This morning, the first casualties on the Israeli side. Two women and
:03:09. > :03:15.a man killed inside this apartment block in the town.
:03:15. > :03:20.The top floor taking a direct hit. The bloodshed here prompting
:03:20. > :03:29.warnings that Israel may now target all top Hamas leaders in the Gaza
:03:29. > :03:34.Strip. We will hit and every leader of the organisation if the
:03:34. > :03:38.shootings will not stop. Israelis have already killed the
:03:38. > :03:44.Hamas military leader Ahmed al- Jabari, targeting him in an air
:03:44. > :03:50.strike in Gaza yesterday afternoon. This attack leading to the rapid
:03:50. > :03:53.escalation in violence over the past 24 hours. And there's still a
:03:53. > :04:01.possibility Israel will launch a ground offensive into the Gaza
:04:01. > :04:07.Strip, with the army making some preparations. But for now it's the
:04:07. > :04:17.Israeli airforce which is in action, flying frequent sorties, targeting
:04:17. > :04:18.
:04:18. > :04:22.Hamas' arsenal of weapons and other Here on the border all morning we
:04:22. > :04:27.have seen Israeli warplanes in the sky heading in to Gaza. There have
:04:27. > :04:30.been more Israeli air strikes there, more casualties in Gaza. There's
:04:30. > :04:35.also been the funeral of the Hamas military commander killed yesterday
:04:35. > :04:41.in one of those air strikes. Let's go over now to our Gaza
:04:41. > :04:45.correspondent for the latest. As you say, it's been a noisy
:04:45. > :04:50.morning. It's been almost 24 hours since the killing of Ahmed al-
:04:50. > :04:53.Jabari, which was a major escalation in the violence in and
:04:53. > :04:56.around Gaza. All morning here we have heard the thuds of Israeli air
:04:56. > :05:00.strikes within the last hour our building has been shook by air
:05:00. > :05:05.strikes to the north of here. More casualties today. The violence
:05:05. > :05:12.today started early. After a relatively quiet night, the
:05:12. > :05:18.dawn broke in Gaza. More Israeli air strikes. And another busy day
:05:18. > :05:21.for hospitals here. Among the dead and injured Hamas fighters, but
:05:22. > :05:27.also civilians. At least 13 Palestinians have been killed since
:05:27. > :05:31.yesterday, including children, and a young baby. On the streets of
:05:31. > :05:35.Gaza today, people fear another war. Are you worried? Yes, sure.
:05:35. > :05:39.Everybody is worried that is going to start second war. That's what we
:05:39. > :05:46.have seen with continuous bombardment and shelling. This is
:05:46. > :05:50.very - it's deja vu. The violence escalated yesterday after Israel
:05:50. > :05:54.targeted and killed one of Hamas' most senior figures as he drove
:05:54. > :05:59.through Gaza City. Thousands of Hamas supporters are gathering here
:05:59. > :06:02.at the main mosque in Gaza City for the funeral of their military
:06:02. > :06:06.commander Ahmed al-Jabari. It's a potential flashpoint. There are a
:06:07. > :06:12.few senior Hamas figures here, but most of them are likely underground
:06:12. > :06:17.in hiding. But there are likely to be more funerals. Neither Israel
:06:17. > :06:21.nor Hamas will want to be seen to back down. Both see themselves as
:06:21. > :06:26.as protecting their civilians. Hamas has been firing scores of
:06:26. > :06:32.rockets Ted, but it's mass -- today but it's massively outgunned.
:06:32. > :06:39.I mentioned the civilian casualties, one point I should say is that in
:06:39. > :06:43.the BBC office here we were affected. The BBC's Arabic Services
:06:43. > :06:48.picture editor, his young baby son, 11 months old, was killed yesterday
:06:48. > :06:53.in an apparent shelling from an Israeli tank. All civilian
:06:53. > :07:01.casualties on both sides tragic, particularly so when it affects
:07:02. > :07:07.people who you know and work with. Thank you very much.
:07:07. > :07:12.We are about 15 miles or so here from the Israeli Gaza border. The
:07:12. > :07:17.blood letting does continue on both sides of that border, almost 200
:07:17. > :07:21.rockets fired out of Gaza into this part of southern Israel in the last
:07:21. > :07:26.24 hours or so. For its part, the Israelis are saying they cannot
:07:26. > :07:30.rule out a ground offensive with ground troops going into Gaza.
:07:30. > :07:35.Simon, back to you. Thank you. We can speak to our Middle East editor
:07:35. > :07:37.now, Jeremy Bowen. The escalation of violence and inevitable finger-
:07:37. > :07:43.pointing, what happens next? What happens next is that this thing
:07:43. > :07:47.will unfold with more of the same, think for a few days. The Israelis
:07:47. > :07:49.will like it to be relatively limited. I don't think think
:07:49. > :07:53.they're trying to do the comprehensive and ambition
:07:53. > :07:59.operation they attempted to do to stop the rocket fire for good and
:07:59. > :08:04.all in 2008-2009. There was that last big war. However, they're not
:08:04. > :08:10.in control of the situation because it depends what Hamas does and also
:08:10. > :08:13.depends the levels of casualties. Israel's continued response and
:08:13. > :08:18.escalation will, in part, be governed by the number of Israelis
:08:18. > :08:23.who get killed. If Hamas rocket landed in a particularly sensitive
:08:23. > :08:27.place, and put a lot of casualties in hospital or killed them, then
:08:27. > :08:33.the Israelis would do more. What about the effect on the region, a
:08:33. > :08:38.much changed region in recent years and Egypt where there will be focus
:08:38. > :08:43.on how they respond? It's changed a lot since that last 2008-2009 war,
:08:43. > :08:49.because then there was President Mubarak and one Israeli said to me
:08:49. > :08:54.the first thing they do in Israeli Foreign Ministry is say a prayer
:08:54. > :08:58.for for his health. He seemed to be key to stability. Now he is gone
:08:58. > :09:02.and the President there elected is a Muslim Brotherhood leader, Hamas
:09:02. > :09:07.come from the Muslim Brotherhood, so there is an obvious connection
:09:07. > :09:12.there. Plus, Egyptians, in general, get outraged by the things that
:09:12. > :09:17.Israelis do to Palestinians, especially in Gaza. That was
:09:17. > :09:20.something that Hosni Mubarak always used to ignore, it's something the
:09:20. > :09:30.new President can't ignore. However, the Muslim Brotherhood is cautious.
:09:30. > :09:32.
:09:32. > :09:34.He is not going to do things precipitively. Thank you.
:09:34. > :09:37.The former Conservative Party Treasurer, Lord McAlpine, has given
:09:37. > :09:40.his first broadcast interview since being wrongly linked to child abuse.
:09:40. > :09:42.Lord McAlpine has spoken of his shock and anger at the allegations
:09:42. > :09:45.contained in a Newsnight report which implicated him - even though
:09:45. > :09:50.it didn't name him. His lawyer says he expects to reach a settlement
:09:50. > :09:55.with the BBC today. Philippa Thomas reports. For years he moved in the
:09:55. > :09:58.top circles of British politics as Conservative Party treasurer and a
:09:58. > :10:02.close friend of Margaret Thatcher. He was never involved in the sexual
:10:02. > :10:09.abuse of children. And says the very suggestion came as a
:10:09. > :10:18.horrendous shock. It gets into your bones. It gets into - it makes you
:10:18. > :10:23.angry. And that's extremely bad for you to be angry. It gets into your
:10:23. > :10:27.soul. Newsnight's report on abuse at this North Wales care home had
:10:27. > :10:32.referred only to a former senior Conservative, but Lord McAlpine's
:10:32. > :10:38.name was swiftly identified and spread online. His denial prompted
:10:38. > :10:41.this public apology. A new crisis for Newsnight. Tonight, this
:10:41. > :10:45.programme apologises. A key allegation in a report about child
:10:45. > :10:49.abuse was wrong. An internal BBC report has already found that
:10:49. > :10:54.Newsnight failed to carry out basic journalistic checks like putting
:10:54. > :10:58.the claim to Lord McAlpine. course they should have called me.
:10:58. > :11:04.I would have told them exactly what they learned later on. What was
:11:04. > :11:10.that? That it was complete rubbish. And that I had only ever been to
:11:10. > :11:14.Wrexham once in my life. They could have saved themselves a lot of
:11:14. > :11:19.agonising and money, actually. If they had just made that telephone
:11:19. > :11:25.call. The BBC has been at the eye of a storm of bad publicity. But
:11:25. > :11:29.after the allegations the apology, and the resignation of the BBC's
:11:29. > :11:34.Director-General come the inquiries and the legal settlements. Lord
:11:34. > :11:40.McAlpine's lawyer is looking beyond the BBC to those he says helped
:11:40. > :11:44.spread the smear on social media. Look, we know in inverted kphas,
:11:45. > :11:48.who you are, we know the extent of what you have done. And it's easier
:11:48. > :11:52.to come forward and see us and apologise and arrange to settle
:11:52. > :11:58.with us. He's already referred to two public figures who drew
:11:58. > :12:08.attention to Lord McAlpine on Twitter saying he has heard from
:12:08. > :12:16.
:12:16. > :12:18.George Monbiot apologising but not Let's speak to our legal affairs
:12:18. > :12:23.correspondent Clive Coleman. A settlement with the BBC, what's
:12:23. > :12:26.that likely to be? Well, we may never know because settlements in
:12:26. > :12:30.these cases are often confidential although I understand that the BBC
:12:30. > :12:34.is comfortable with revealing the figure because it is public money.
:12:34. > :12:38.But as far as the figure itself goes, you are looking at the
:12:38. > :12:42.seniority of the person concerned, the gravity of the allegation, that
:12:42. > :12:48.obviously is at the high end in this case. Just to give you a
:12:48. > :12:52.comparison, the natural father of baby P was awarded �75,000 in
:12:52. > :12:55.defamation damages reduced to �50,000 on appeal, after false
:12:55. > :12:59.accusations that he was guilty of a serious sexual offence. I think we
:12:59. > :13:04.are looking at around the �50,000 figure. But that could be reduced
:13:04. > :13:08.by two things. Firstly, the BBC's behaviour, it's apologised swiftly
:13:08. > :13:12.and fully. Secondly, the fact that we heard from Lord McAlpine's
:13:12. > :13:15.lawyer that he is conscious of the fact this is public money. It's
:13:15. > :13:20.licence-fee payers money and that will temper, in other words, reduce
:13:20. > :13:24.the settlement figure. What about action against Twitter? How
:13:24. > :13:28.difficult will that be? It's not so difficult if the people tweeting
:13:28. > :13:32.under their own names and you can locate them and they're within the
:13:32. > :13:36.jurisdiction. If they're anonymous and outside the jurisdiction very
:13:36. > :13:40.difficult. You would have to - the lawyers would have to get a special
:13:40. > :13:43.court order against Twitter in the United States, that's far from
:13:43. > :13:47.straightforward. That perhaps is why he is saying that the best way
:13:47. > :13:50.forward is for people who have tweeted to come forward, identify
:13:50. > :13:54.themselves, and what he is getting at there is that if actions have to
:13:54. > :14:01.be brought, those people would be liable for considerable legal costs.
:14:01. > :14:04.Thank you. Police investigating allegations of abuse linked to
:14:04. > :14:07.Jimmy Savile have arrested a man in his 60s in Bedfordshire this
:14:07. > :14:10.morning, on suspicion of sexual offences. He has been taken into

:14:18. > :14:22.man was detained at 7.4 4.00am. - he is being questioned by police at
:14:22. > :14:26.the moment. He is being questioned not in relation to offences
:14:26. > :14:32.allegedly carried out with Jimmy Savile, but under a strand of the
:14:32. > :14:36.investigation termed Others. That is offences that he is alleged to
:14:36. > :14:39.have carried out by himself. He is the 4th person to be arrested by
:14:39. > :14:43.the Metropolitan Police's Operation Yewtree which was set up after the
:14:43. > :14:47.Savile allegations surfaced. Scotland Yard has revealed today
:14:47. > :14:51.just the extent of the allegations that they have - they are looking
:14:51. > :14:58.into. In the past three weeks, the number of potential victims has
:14:58. > :15:02.increased from 300, to 450. 150 increase in the space of the last
:15:02. > :15:06.three weeks. The number of recorded allegations of sexual assault has
:15:06. > :15:08.increased to 200 and detectives are still working their way through all
:15:08. > :15:18.those potential victims to try to take statements from them. Thank
:15:18. > :15:23.Thank you very much. Drinking one or two glasses of wine
:15:23. > :15:30.a week during pregnancy can impact on a child's IQ. That is according
:15:30. > :15:35.to a study that looked at IQ scores of 4,000 children and the alcohol
:15:35. > :15:39.take of their mothers. Experts reinforced the need to
:15:39. > :15:45.avoid alcohol in pregnancy. Mothers are giving advice on the dangers
:15:45. > :15:48.posed by drinking while they are expecting, but when it comes to
:15:48. > :15:53.moderate drinking, the picture is far less clear.
:15:53. > :15:58.I didn't think I would drink, but I did, a rare occasion at a wedding
:15:58. > :16:03.or dinner party. I enjoyed having half a glass of red wine a week.
:16:03. > :16:09.maybe had one or two glasses of wine a week. Not a huge amount. My
:16:09. > :16:14.son seems fine. My daughter seems fine. My mother drank through my
:16:14. > :16:20.pregnancy, I think I am OK. I didn't drink when I was pregnant
:16:21. > :16:27.with my daughter. I think for women who do want to drink... The
:16:27. > :16:31.information out there is confusing. This study looked at more than
:16:31. > :16:36.4,000 mothers and their children. Some of the mothers were
:16:36. > :16:42.genetically less able to process alcohol. In this group, mothers who
:16:42. > :16:45.drank small amounts, the children scored lower in IQ tests than those
:16:46. > :16:50.who avoided drink all together. Of course, the study must be
:16:50. > :16:54.replicated by other groups, but I think that we have good evidence
:16:54. > :16:58.that moderate drinking can be harmful during pregnancy, therefore
:16:58. > :17:05.it is best avoided. Official advice for pregnant women
:17:05. > :17:10.is to avoid alcohol, but if you do drink to have no more than one or
:17:10. > :17:16.two units of alcohol once or twice a week. The Department of Health in
:17:16. > :17:20.England say it is will take note of new evidence. That advice needs to
:17:20. > :17:25.be amended. The study shows what that in some
:17:25. > :17:29.families, even low levels of alcohol consumption can affect the
:17:29. > :17:33.IQ scores of some children, but lots of factors influence the
:17:33. > :17:37.development of children. What mums seem to want is just clear advice.
:17:37. > :17:44.BP is to be fined billions of dollars over the Deepwater Horizon
:17:44. > :17:47.disaster in 2010. It is expected to be anything between $3 billion and
:17:47. > :17:52.$5 billion. The biggest criminal penalty in US history.
:17:52. > :17:55.Let's speak to prest pest pest. Is this more or -- let's speak to
:17:55. > :18:01.Robert Peston. Is this more or less that the
:18:01. > :18:05.company were predicting? It is difficult to predict what kind of
:18:05. > :18:10.fine you have to pay on a charge of this sort. There is not a huge
:18:10. > :18:15.amount to go on, the BP oil disaster was the worst ever in
:18:15. > :18:20.terms of an off-shore oil spill. It also killed 11 people. It is
:18:20. > :18:28.difficult to work out what the numbers are until the negotiations
:18:28. > :18:37.got into a detailed situation. I thought that the fines announced
:18:37. > :18:42.later today could be about 3 to 5 - - three to five billion dollars, I
:18:42. > :18:48.predict about $4 billion. So this is a bit of a humiliation for this
:18:48. > :18:51.British company, BP. I am also expecting there to be up to four
:18:52. > :18:56.arrests of technicians and engineers, who are thought in some
:18:56. > :19:00.ways to be implicated in the disaster. Remember that there were
:19:01. > :19:05.11 people tragically killed in the original explosion that led to the
:19:05. > :19:12.terrible oil spill. But although it does look like bad
:19:12. > :19:18.news, plainly it is not good news, there was a huge unlimit the --
:19:18. > :19:22.unlimited liability hanging over BP, now at least the owners will take
:19:22. > :19:27.reassurance that they know the extent of the criminal damage, the

:21:30. > :21:35.Those who have met him describe a relaxed, informal man, seemingly
:21:35. > :21:39.different from his predecessors, but he is also known to have close
:21:39. > :21:44.ties to China's hardline military chiefs. The Chinese people have had
:21:44. > :21:47.no say in choosing their leaders. The party has done that for them.
:21:47. > :21:55.Few will expect major changes in direction, but outside observers
:21:55. > :22:00.will be trying to read the runes about the man now in charge of the
:22:00. > :22:06.world's second biggest economy. The men include Li Keqiang, the second
:22:06. > :22:10.most senior ranked leader, a former farm labourer. Wang Qishan is
:22:10. > :22:18.already an architect of economic reform and perhaps offers the hope
:22:18. > :22:22.of some more. Then there is number three, Zhang Dejiang and Yen-Hsun
:22:22. > :22:29.Lu both said to be Conservative hardliners.
:22:29. > :22:33.Xi Jinping's wife, is a singer, at least as famous as he is. Had is
:22:34. > :22:38.something else that marks him out as different, but only by a matter
:22:38. > :22:43.of degree. Conformity and caution are keys to the long, hard climb up
:22:43. > :22:51.to the Communist Party politics and all of these men are likely to have
:22:51. > :22:55.those in abundance. You can find out more on China's

:23:07. > :23:11.recession. Analysts say that the two ports of negative growth are
:23:11. > :23:17.down and there is a pushing up of unemployment.
:23:17. > :23:22.Let's get more. Can you talk us through the
:23:23. > :23:27.figures? Yes, we have the figures back, the first since 2009. It
:23:27. > :23:33.reveals that the eurozone economic output was down 0 .1% in the third
:23:33. > :23:38.quarter. That follows a decline in the previous quarter, of 0 .2%.
:23:38. > :23:44.That means a recession, but looking at the big players in the eurozone,
:23:44. > :23:48.there is a different story. Germany and France saw their output grow by
:23:48. > :23:51.0..2% between July and September. The overall eurozone was dragged
:23:51. > :23:57.down by Spain and Portugal and Italy. They have been in recession
:23:57. > :24:03.since the end of last year. So the question now is what will the
:24:03. > :24:09.downturn in those commission -- economies mean for Germany and
:24:09. > :24:15.France next year. They could go into a down it's durn.

:24:47. > :24:55.There is more information on the -- on the BBC News Channel from 8.30
:24:55. > :25:03.India have had a tough time at the hands of eng -- England have had a
:25:03. > :25:07.tough time today in the first Test Match against India. India finished
:25:07. > :25:12.on 323-4. The cricket started before breakfast. Serious stuff. 14
:25:12. > :25:17.overs and innings and the waste ground matches going on. Bowling
:25:17. > :25:21.here can require maximum effort for minimal rewards as England soon
:25:21. > :25:27.discovered. India won the toss. It gave them
:25:27. > :25:32.the chance to bat first. Virender Sehwag scored almost in his sleep.
:25:32. > :25:37.India making 120. Pace bowling seemed pointless. England had
:25:37. > :25:42.Graeme Swann's spin. Gautam Gambhir gone for 41, but Virender Sehwag
:25:42. > :25:46.stood still and let the bat do the work. He reached a 100 and on the
:25:46. > :25:52.first afternoon of the first Test England were running out of options.
:25:52. > :25:56.Test cricket may not be the draw it once was in this country, but this
:25:56. > :26:01.match drew a big crowd, while Virender Sehwag was batting, but
:26:01. > :26:05.Graeme Swann was not giving up. No spin bowler of his style has ever
:26:05. > :26:09.taken more wickets for England. The cheer for Sachin Tendulkar is only
:26:09. > :26:12.matched by the silence when he is out.
:26:12. > :26:17.A catch and Graeme Swann's third wicket.
:26:17. > :26:22.There was an edge, it should have been Jonathan Trott's catch. The
:26:22. > :26:31.fielder was unsure. The replay left you wondering did Jonathan Trott
:26:31. > :26:38.believe he may have caught it? Then Swan carried the bin and got
:26:38. > :26:45.another bowler. And India not out 323-4. India are
:26:45. > :26:50.in control. And finally, even Steven Gerrard
:26:50. > :26:54.said it was the best goal had ever seen.
:26:54. > :26:59.Zlatan Ibrahimovic's winner for Sweden has been hailed as one of
:26:59. > :27:02.the sport's best-ever strikes. The man himself described it as a
:27:02. > :27:09.combination of luck and skill. Andy Swiss can tell you all about
:27:09. > :27:12.it if you did not see it. Question: What do you do 30 yards from goal
:27:12. > :27:21.and facing the wrong way? Answer: This....
:27:21. > :27:26.COMMENTATOR: Oh! It was the moment of breath-taking, chest-bearing
:27:26. > :27:31.genius. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, some called it a propellor kick, others
:27:31. > :27:37.an overhead lob, but everyone agreed it was out of this world so,
:27:37. > :27:43.was it the greatest goal ever? Even England could only stand and
:27:43. > :27:47.applaud. It was hard to imagine. It was the
:27:47. > :27:55.best goal I have seen in my career. Full credit to him.
:27:55. > :28:02.The title of Best Goal Ever has no shortage of claimants. If you want
:28:02. > :28:09.twinkling toes how about Diego Maradona against England?
:28:09. > :28:17.COMMENTATOR: That was magnificent! And for sheer power there was
:28:17. > :28:20.Holland's Van Basten in 1988. COMMENTATOR: What a goal! A beauty.
:28:20. > :28:26.Or how about something closer to home?
:28:26. > :28:30.COMMENTATOR: Wayne Rooney! That is fantastic! Now, one of sport's
:28:30. > :28:34.favourite pub debates has a new contender. Football has seen weird
:28:34. > :28:43.and wonderful things over the years, but nothing quite like the
:28:43. > :28:46.incredible Zlatan Ibrahimovic. incredible Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
:28:46. > :28:50.Now a weather update. Early morning mist and fog is
:28:50. > :28:53.causing problems this morning. As illustrated by this beautiful
:28:53. > :28:58.picture coming in from Leicester. This is Leicester a few hours ago.
:28:58. > :29:03.Now the cloud is lifting, but it is mainly cloudy for many. However,
:29:03. > :29:08.where the fog has lingered, it is having effect on the temperatures.
:29:08. > :29:14.Four Celsius in Coventry. That is the story in the Midlands. In the
:29:14. > :29:20.north 12 Celsius. There is some brightness here. That is over
:29:20. > :29:24.eastern Scotland, northern England and Anglesey. A contrasting
:29:24. > :29:28.temperature in the afternoon for the south-west. The odd spot or two
:29:28. > :29:33.of drizzle. Where the fog is lingering, the temperatures in the
:29:33. > :29:37.Midlands are struggling. By contrast into Anglesey in the north
:29:37. > :29:43.of England, not a bad afternoon, 11 Celsius there.
:29:43. > :29:48.In Northern Ireland, a little drizzle.
:29:48. > :29:55.In Aberdeen, a bright sunny afternoon, although six Celsius. In
:29:55. > :30:01.the north arched west rain is starting to show. Are -- in the
:30:01. > :30:07.north and in the afternoon in the west, some rain. Lingering fog in
:30:07. > :30:14.Wales and down into the south-west. Overmight, up to nine Celsius, and
:30:14. > :30:18.a little bit of rain. For Children in Need, a double pronged attack,
:30:18. > :30:23.problems from the north-west and the south-west, the problems will
:30:23. > :30:27.merge. They will take time arriving in the west, a murky cloudy start
:30:27. > :30:36.here. Rain in Scotland and Northern Ireland. The best of the brightness
:30:36. > :30:40.on Friday. Here a contrast in the south-east of 10 to 12 Celsius.
:30:40. > :30:45.Now the cloud and the rain is continuing to push to the south and
:30:45. > :30:52.the east through the day on Saturday. Rain for England and
:30:52. > :30:55.Wales. Behind it a contrast, clearer and sunny skies, but cool
:30:55. > :31:00.temperatures. High pressure on Sunday, so not a
:31:00. > :31:05.bad day in prospect. Make the most of it as another area of low
:31:05. > :31:09.pressure is pushing into the west so all change on Monday. For the
:31:09. > :31:15.weekend, the north of England starting off cloudy. Brightening up,
:31:15. > :31:17.rain to come down to the south-east. A sparkling sunny day in prospect
:31:17. > :31:22.A sparkling sunny day in prospect for Sunday.
