Violence escalates in Gaza and southern Israel with more deaths on

:00:06.:00:10.

both sides of the border. Three Israelis are killed when a rocket

:00:11.:00:16.

fired from Gaza hit the top floor of a building. Here in the town

:00:16.:00:21.

where those three Israelis died in the flats behind me, there is

:00:21.:00:25.

growing anger and fear and calls for an intensification of Israel's

:00:25.:00:31.

military operation against Hamas. Crowds gather for the funeral of

:00:31.:00:34.

the Hamas military chief targeted yesterday. 15 Palestinians have

:00:34.:00:38.

been killed so far in Israeli attacks.

:00:38.:00:41.

Lord McAlpine speaks of his shock and anger at the allegations

:00:41.:00:44.

contained in a Newsnight report which implicated him in child sex

:00:44.:00:50.

abuse. It gets into your bones. It gets

:00:50.:00:55.

into your - it makes you angry. That's extremely bad for you to be

:00:55.:00:59.

angry. On view for the first time, the

Chinese politicians who will lead one fifth of the world's population

:01:03.:01:08.

for the next decade. Is this the best goal ever scored?

:01:08.:01:13.

Even if it was against England. Later on BBC London: The case for

:01:42.:01:45.

Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at 1.00pm. There've been

:01:45.:01:48.

more deaths this morning, as the violence in the Middle East

:01:48.:01:52.

intensifies. Three Israelis were killed by rocket attacks launched

:01:52.:01:58.

from Gaza. They died when a four- storey building in the Southern

:01:58.:02:01.

Israeli town of Kiryat Malachi was hit. The deaths follow the killing

:02:01.:02:04.

of the Hamas' military chief in Gaza yesterday in an Israeli

:02:04.:02:08.

offensive which has killed 12 other Palestinians. In that time, 180

:02:08.:02:11.

rockets have been fired into southern Israel from Gaza. Let's

:02:11.:02:17.

cross to Ben Brown who's in Kiryat Malachi.

:02:17.:02:21.

Yes, we are in front of that block of flats where the rocket hit. It

:02:21.:02:26.

ploughed into the top floor of the block. You can see that gaping hole.

:02:26.:02:31.

There were two families. They heard the air raid sirens and tried to

:02:31.:02:35.

get down the stairs. They didn't have time to get to shelters. There

:02:35.:02:41.

were three adults killed, two men and a woman and a young child who

:02:41.:02:44.

was injured in that attack. Our correspondent reports now from

:02:44.:02:48.

Jerusalem on where Israel goes next with its military campaign against

:02:48.:02:54.

Hamas. Running for cover in Israeli town

:02:54.:03:00.

of Kiryat Malachi, sirens warning of another rocket attack.

:03:00.:03:05.

This morning, the first casualties on the Israeli side. Two women and

:03:05.:03:09.

a man killed inside this apartment block in the town.

:03:09.:03:15.

The top floor taking a direct hit. The bloodshed here prompting

:03:15.:03:20.

warnings that Israel may now target all top Hamas leaders in the Gaza

:03:20.:03:29.

Strip. We will hit and every leader of the organisation if the

:03:29.:03:34.

shootings will not stop. Israelis have already killed the

:03:34.:03:38.

Hamas military leader Ahmed al- Jabari, targeting him in an air

:03:38.:03:44.

strike in Gaza yesterday afternoon. This attack leading to the rapid

:03:44.:03:50.

escalation in violence over the past 24 hours. And there's still a

:03:50.:03:53.

possibility Israel will launch a ground offensive into the Gaza

:03:53.:04:01.

Strip, with the army making some preparations. But for now it's the

:04:01.:04:07.

Israeli airforce which is in action, flying frequent sorties, targeting

:04:07.:04:17.
:04:17.:04:18.

Hamas' arsenal of weapons and other Here on the border all morning we

:04:18.:04:22.

have seen Israeli warplanes in the sky heading in to Gaza. There have

:04:22.:04:27.

been more Israeli air strikes there, more casualties in Gaza. There's

:04:27.:04:30.

also been the funeral of the Hamas military commander killed yesterday

:04:30.:04:35.

in one of those air strikes. Let's go over now to our Gaza

:04:35.:04:41.

correspondent for the latest. As you say, it's been a noisy

:04:41.:04:45.

morning. It's been almost 24 hours since the killing of Ahmed al-

:04:45.:04:50.

Jabari, which was a major escalation in the violence in and

:04:50.:04:53.

around Gaza. All morning here we have heard the thuds of Israeli air

:04:53.:04:56.

strikes within the last hour our building has been shook by air

:04:56.:05:00.

strikes to the north of here. More casualties today. The violence

:05:00.:05:05.

today started early. After a relatively quiet night, the

:05:05.:05:12.

dawn broke in Gaza. More Israeli air strikes. And another busy day

:05:12.:05:18.

for hospitals here. Among the dead and injured Hamas fighters, but

:05:18.:05:21.

also civilians. At least 13 Palestinians have been killed since

:05:22.:05:27.

yesterday, including children, and a young baby. On the streets of

:05:27.:05:31.

Gaza today, people fear another war. Are you worried? Yes, sure.

:05:31.:05:35.

Everybody is worried that is going to start second war. That's what we

:05:35.:05:39.

have seen with continuous bombardment and shelling. This is

:05:39.:05:46.

very - it's deja vu. The violence escalated yesterday after Israel

:05:46.:05:50.

targeted and killed one of Hamas' most senior figures as he drove

:05:50.:05:54.

through Gaza City. Thousands of Hamas supporters are gathering here

:05:54.:05:59.

at the main mosque in Gaza City for the funeral of their military

:05:59.:06:02.

commander Ahmed al-Jabari. It's a potential flashpoint. There are a

:06:02.:06:06.

few senior Hamas figures here, but most of them are likely underground

:06:07.:06:12.

in hiding. But there are likely to be more funerals. Neither Israel

:06:12.:06:17.

nor Hamas will want to be seen to back down. Both see themselves as

:06:17.:06:21.

as protecting their civilians. Hamas has been firing scores of

:06:21.:06:26.

rockets Ted, but it's mass -- today but it's massively outgunned.

:06:26.:06:32.

I mentioned the civilian casualties, one point I should say is that in

:06:32.:06:39.

the BBC office here we were affected. The BBC's Arabic Services

:06:39.:06:43.

picture editor, his young baby son, 11 months old, was killed yesterday

:06:43.:06:48.

in an apparent shelling from an Israeli tank. All civilian

:06:48.:06:53.

casualties on both sides tragic, particularly so when it affects

:06:53.:07:01.

people who you know and work with. Thank you very much.

:07:02.:07:07.

We are about 15 miles or so here from the Israeli Gaza border. The

:07:07.:07:12.

blood letting does continue on both sides of that border, almost 200

:07:12.:07:17.

rockets fired out of Gaza into this part of southern Israel in the last

:07:17.:07:21.

24 hours or so. For its part, the Israelis are saying they cannot

:07:21.:07:26.

rule out a ground offensive with ground troops going into Gaza.

:07:26.:07:30.

Simon, back to you. Thank you. We can speak to our Middle East editor

:07:30.:07:35.

now, Jeremy Bowen. The escalation of violence and inevitable finger-

:07:35.:07:37.

pointing, what happens next? What happens next is that this thing

:07:37.:07:43.

will unfold with more of the same, think for a few days. The Israelis

:07:43.:07:47.

will like it to be relatively limited. I don't think think

:07:47.:07:49.

they're trying to do the comprehensive and ambition

:07:49.:07:53.

operation they attempted to do to stop the rocket fire for good and

:07:53.:07:59.

all in 2008-2009. There was that last big war. However, they're not

:07:59.:08:04.

in control of the situation because it depends what Hamas does and also

:08:04.:08:10.

depends the levels of casualties. Israel's continued response and

:08:10.:08:13.

escalation will, in part, be governed by the number of Israelis

:08:13.:08:18.

who get killed. If Hamas rocket landed in a particularly sensitive

:08:18.:08:23.

place, and put a lot of casualties in hospital or killed them, then

:08:23.:08:27.

the Israelis would do more. What about the effect on the region, a

:08:27.:08:33.

much changed region in recent years and Egypt where there will be focus

:08:33.:08:38.

on how they respond? It's changed a lot since that last 2008-2009 war,

:08:38.:08:43.

because then there was President Mubarak and one Israeli said to me

:08:43.:08:49.

the first thing they do in Israeli Foreign Ministry is say a prayer

:08:49.:08:54.

for for his health. He seemed to be key to stability. Now he is gone

:08:54.:08:58.

and the President there elected is a Muslim Brotherhood leader, Hamas

:08:58.:09:02.

come from the Muslim Brotherhood, so there is an obvious connection

:09:02.:09:07.

there. Plus, Egyptians, in general, get outraged by the things that

:09:07.:09:12.

Israelis do to Palestinians, especially in Gaza. That was

:09:12.:09:17.

something that Hosni Mubarak always used to ignore, it's something the

:09:17.:09:20.

new President can't ignore. However, the Muslim Brotherhood is cautious.

:09:20.:09:30.
:09:30.:09:32.

He is not going to do things precipitively. Thank you.

:09:32.:09:34.

The former Conservative Party Treasurer, Lord McAlpine, has given

:09:34.:09:37.

his first broadcast interview since being wrongly linked to child abuse.

:09:37.:09:40.

Lord McAlpine has spoken of his shock and anger at the allegations

:09:40.:09:42.

contained in a Newsnight report which implicated him - even though

:09:42.:09:45.

it didn't name him. His lawyer says he expects to reach a settlement

:09:45.:09:50.

with the BBC today. Philippa Thomas reports. For years he moved in the

:09:50.:09:55.

top circles of British politics as Conservative Party treasurer and a

:09:55.:09:58.

close friend of Margaret Thatcher. He was never involved in the sexual

:09:58.:10:02.

abuse of children. And says the very suggestion came as a

:10:02.:10:09.

horrendous shock. It gets into your bones. It gets into - it makes you

:10:09.:10:18.

angry. And that's extremely bad for you to be angry. It gets into your

:10:18.:10:23.

soul. Newsnight's report on abuse at this North Wales care home had

:10:23.:10:27.

referred only to a former senior Conservative, but Lord McAlpine's

:10:27.:10:32.

name was swiftly identified and spread online. His denial prompted

:10:32.:10:38.

this public apology. A new crisis for Newsnight. Tonight, this

:10:38.:10:41.

programme apologises. A key allegation in a report about child

:10:41.:10:45.

abuse was wrong. An internal BBC report has already found that

:10:45.:10:49.

Newsnight failed to carry out basic journalistic checks like putting

:10:49.:10:54.

the claim to Lord McAlpine. course they should have called me.

:10:54.:10:58.

I would have told them exactly what they learned later on. What was

:10:58.:11:04.

that? That it was complete rubbish. And that I had only ever been to

:11:04.:11:10.

Wrexham once in my life. They could have saved themselves a lot of

:11:10.:11:14.

agonising and money, actually. If they had just made that telephone

:11:14.:11:19.

call. The BBC has been at the eye of a storm of bad publicity. But

:11:19.:11:25.

after the allegations the apology, and the resignation of the BBC's

:11:25.:11:29.

Director-General come the inquiries and the legal settlements. Lord

:11:29.:11:34.

McAlpine's lawyer is looking beyond the BBC to those he says helped

:11:34.:11:40.

spread the smear on social media. Look, we know in inverted kphas,

:11:40.:11:44.

who you are, we know the extent of what you have done. And it's easier

:11:45.:11:48.

to come forward and see us and apologise and arrange to settle

:11:48.:11:52.

with us. He's already referred to two public figures who drew

:11:52.:11:58.

attention to Lord McAlpine on Twitter saying he has heard from

:11:58.:12:08.
:12:08.:12:16.

George Monbiot apologising but not Let's speak to our legal affairs

:12:16.:12:18.

correspondent Clive Coleman. A settlement with the BBC, what's

:12:18.:12:23.

that likely to be? Well, we may never know because settlements in

:12:23.:12:26.

these cases are often confidential although I understand that the BBC

:12:26.:12:30.

is comfortable with revealing the figure because it is public money.

:12:30.:12:34.

But as far as the figure itself goes, you are looking at the

:12:34.:12:38.

seniority of the person concerned, the gravity of the allegation, that

:12:38.:12:42.

obviously is at the high end in this case. Just to give you a

:12:42.:12:48.

comparison, the natural father of baby P was awarded �75,000 in

:12:48.:12:52.

defamation damages reduced to �50,000 on appeal, after false

:12:52.:12:55.

accusations that he was guilty of a serious sexual offence. I think we

:12:55.:12:59.

are looking at around the �50,000 figure. But that could be reduced

:12:59.:13:04.

by two things. Firstly, the BBC's behaviour, it's apologised swiftly

:13:04.:13:08.

and fully. Secondly, the fact that we heard from Lord McAlpine's

:13:08.:13:12.

lawyer that he is conscious of the fact this is public money. It's

:13:12.:13:15.

licence-fee payers money and that will temper, in other words, reduce

:13:15.:13:20.

the settlement figure. What about action against Twitter? How

:13:20.:13:24.

difficult will that be? It's not so difficult if the people tweeting

:13:24.:13:28.

under their own names and you can locate them and they're within the

:13:28.:13:32.

jurisdiction. If they're anonymous and outside the jurisdiction very

:13:32.:13:36.

difficult. You would have to - the lawyers would have to get a special

:13:36.:13:40.

court order against Twitter in the United States, that's far from

:13:40.:13:43.

straightforward. That perhaps is why he is saying that the best way

:13:43.:13:47.

forward is for people who have tweeted to come forward, identify

:13:47.:13:50.

themselves, and what he is getting at there is that if actions have to

:13:50.:13:54.

be brought, those people would be liable for considerable legal costs.

:13:54.:14:01.

Thank you. Police investigating allegations of abuse linked to

:14:01.:14:04.

Jimmy Savile have arrested a man in his 60s in Bedfordshire this

:14:04.:14:07.

morning, on suspicion of sexual offences. He has been taken into

:14:07.:14:10.

custody. Our home affairs correspondent is at New

:14:10.:14:12.

Broadcasting House. We don't have many details at the moment. This

:14:12.:14:18.

man was detained at 7.4 4.00am. - he is being questioned by police at

:14:18.:14:22.

the moment. He is being questioned not in relation to offences

:14:22.:14:26.

allegedly carried out with Jimmy Savile, but under a strand of the

:14:26.:14:32.

investigation termed Others. That is offences that he is alleged to

:14:32.:14:36.

have carried out by himself. He is the 4th person to be arrested by

:14:36.:14:39.

the Metropolitan Police's Operation Yewtree which was set up after the

:14:39.:14:43.

Savile allegations surfaced. Scotland Yard has revealed today

:14:43.:14:47.

just the extent of the allegations that they have - they are looking

:14:47.:14:51.

into. In the past three weeks, the number of potential victims has

:14:51.:14:58.

increased from 300, to 450. 150 increase in the space of the last

:14:58.:15:02.

three weeks. The number of recorded allegations of sexual assault has

:15:02.:15:06.

increased to 200 and detectives are still working their way through all

:15:06.:15:08.

those potential victims to try to take statements from them. Thank

:15:08.:15:18.

Thank you very much. Drinking one or two glasses of wine

:15:18.:15:23.

a week during pregnancy can impact on a child's IQ. That is according

:15:23.:15:30.

to a study that looked at IQ scores of 4,000 children and the alcohol

:15:30.:15:35.

take of their mothers. Experts reinforced the need to

:15:35.:15:39.

avoid alcohol in pregnancy. Mothers are giving advice on the dangers

:15:39.:15:45.

posed by drinking while they are expecting, but when it comes to

:15:45.:15:48.

moderate drinking, the picture is far less clear.

:15:48.:15:53.

I didn't think I would drink, but I did, a rare occasion at a wedding

:15:53.:15:58.

or dinner party. I enjoyed having half a glass of red wine a week.

:15:58.:16:03.

maybe had one or two glasses of wine a week. Not a huge amount. My

:16:03.:16:09.

son seems fine. My daughter seems fine. My mother drank through my

:16:09.:16:14.

pregnancy, I think I am OK. I didn't drink when I was pregnant

:16:14.:16:20.

with my daughter. I think for women who do want to drink... The

:16:21.:16:27.

information out there is confusing. This study looked at more than

:16:27.:16:31.

4,000 mothers and their children. Some of the mothers were

:16:31.:16:36.

genetically less able to process alcohol. In this group, mothers who

:16:36.:16:42.

drank small amounts, the children scored lower in IQ tests than those

:16:42.:16:45.

who avoided drink all together. Of course, the study must be

:16:46.:16:50.

replicated by other groups, but I think that we have good evidence

:16:50.:16:54.

that moderate drinking can be harmful during pregnancy, therefore

:16:54.:16:58.

it is best avoided. Official advice for pregnant women

:16:58.:17:05.

is to avoid alcohol, but if you do drink to have no more than one or

:17:05.:17:10.

two units of alcohol once or twice a week. The Department of Health in

:17:10.:17:16.

England say it is will take note of new evidence. That advice needs to

:17:16.:17:20.

be amended. The study shows what that in some

:17:20.:17:25.

families, even low levels of alcohol consumption can affect the

:17:25.:17:29.

IQ scores of some children, but lots of factors influence the

:17:29.:17:33.

development of children. What mums seem to want is just clear advice.

:17:33.:17:37.

BP is to be fined billions of dollars over the Deepwater Horizon

:17:37.:17:44.

disaster in 2010. It is expected to be anything between $3 billion and

:17:44.:17:47.

$5 billion. The biggest criminal penalty in US history.

:17:47.:17:52.

Let's speak to prest pest pest. Is this more or -- let's speak to

:17:52.:17:55.

Robert Peston. Is this more or less that the

:17:55.:18:01.

company were predicting? It is difficult to predict what kind of

:18:01.:18:05.

fine you have to pay on a charge of this sort. There is not a huge

:18:05.:18:10.

amount to go on, the BP oil disaster was the worst ever in

:18:10.:18:15.

terms of an off-shore oil spill. It also killed 11 people. It is

:18:15.:18:20.

difficult to work out what the numbers are until the negotiations

:18:20.:18:28.

got into a detailed situation. I thought that the fines announced

:18:28.:18:37.

later today could be about 3 to 5 - - three to five billion dollars, I

:18:37.:18:42.

predict about $4 billion. So this is a bit of a humiliation for this

:18:42.:18:48.

British company, BP. I am also expecting there to be up to four

:18:48.:18:51.

arrests of technicians and engineers, who are thought in some

:18:52.:18:56.

ways to be implicated in the disaster. Remember that there were

:18:56.:19:00.

11 people tragically killed in the original explosion that led to the

:19:01.:19:05.

terrible oil spill. But although it does look like bad

:19:05.:19:12.

news, plainly it is not good news, there was a huge unlimit the --

:19:12.:19:18.

unlimited liability hanging over BP, now at least the owners will take

:19:18.:19:22.

reassurance that they know the extent of the criminal damage, the

:19:22.:19:27.

criminal fine, although the civil cases for BP relating to this

:19:27.:19:30.

disaster will go on for years. Thank you very much.

:21:11.:21:15.

emphasis on farmallities and bureaucratism, must be addressed

:21:15.:21:21.

with great efforts. Little is known about Xi Jinping's

:21:21.:21:24.

preferred solutions to those challenges.

:21:24.:21:30.

Those who have met him describe a relaxed, informal man, seemingly

:21:30.:21:35.

different from his predecessors, but he is also known to have close

:21:35.:21:39.

ties to China's hardline military chiefs. The Chinese people have had

:21:39.:21:44.

no say in choosing their leaders. The party has done that for them.

:21:44.:21:47.

Few will expect major changes in direction, but outside observers

:21:47.:21:55.

will be trying to read the runes about the man now in charge of the

:21:55.:22:00.

world's second biggest economy. The men include Li Keqiang, the second

:22:00.:22:06.

most senior ranked leader, a former farm labourer. Wang Qishan is

:22:06.:22:10.

already an architect of economic reform and perhaps offers the hope

:22:10.:22:18.

of some more. Then there is number three, Zhang Dejiang and Yen-Hsun

:22:18.:22:22.

Lu both said to be Conservative hardliners.

Xi Jinping's wife, is a singer, at least as famous as he is. Had is

:22:29.:22:33.

something else that marks him out as different, but only by a matter

:22:34.:22:38.

of degree. Conformity and caution are keys to the long, hard climb up

:22:38.:22:43.

to the Communist Party politics and all of these men are likely to have

:22:43.:22:51.

those in abundance. You can find out more on China's

new leaders the changes at the top of the party on the BBC News

website. The eurozone has gone back into

:23:00.:23:07.

recession. Analysts say that the two ports of negative growth are

:23:07.:23:11.

down and there is a pushing up of unemployment.

:23:11.:23:17.

Let's get more. Can you talk us through the

:23:17.:23:22.

figures? Yes, we have the figures back, the first since 2009. It

:23:23.:23:27.

reveals that the eurozone economic output was down 0 .1% in the third

:23:27.:23:33.

quarter. That follows a decline in the previous quarter, of 0 .2%.

:23:33.:23:38.

That means a recession, but looking at the big players in the eurozone,

:23:38.:23:44.

there is a different story. Germany and France saw their output grow by

:23:44.:23:48.

0..2% between July and September. The overall eurozone was dragged

:23:48.:23:51.

down by Spain and Portugal and Italy. They have been in recession

:23:51.:23:57.

since the end of last year. So the question now is what will the

:23:57.:24:03.

downturn in those commission -- economies mean for Germany and

:24:03.:24:09.

France next year. They could go into a down it's durn.

India have had a tough time at the hands of eng -- England have had a

:24:55.:25:03.

tough time today in the first Test Match against India. India finished

:25:03.:25:07.

on 323-4. The cricket started before breakfast. Serious stuff. 14

:25:07.:25:12.

overs and innings and the waste ground matches going on. Bowling

:25:12.:25:17.

here can require maximum effort for minimal rewards as England soon

:25:17.:25:21.

discovered. India won the toss. It gave them

:25:21.:25:27.

the chance to bat first. Virender Sehwag scored almost in his sleep.

:25:27.:25:32.

India making 120. Pace bowling seemed pointless. England had

:25:32.:25:37.

Graeme Swann's spin. Gautam Gambhir gone for 41, but Virender Sehwag

:25:37.:25:42.

stood still and let the bat do the work. He reached a 100 and on the

:25:42.:25:46.

first afternoon of the first Test England were running out of options.

:25:46.:25:52.

Test cricket may not be the draw it once was in this country, but this

:25:52.:25:56.

match drew a big crowd, while Virender Sehwag was batting, but

:25:56.:26:01.

Graeme Swann was not giving up. No spin bowler of his style has ever

:26:01.:26:05.

taken more wickets for England. The cheer for Sachin Tendulkar is only

:26:05.:26:09.

matched by the silence when he is out.

:26:09.:26:12.

A catch and Graeme Swann's third wicket.

:26:12.:26:17.

There was an edge, it should have been Jonathan Trott's catch. The

:26:17.:26:22.

fielder was unsure. The replay left you wondering did Jonathan Trott

:26:22.:26:31.

believe he may have caught it? Then Swan carried the bin and got

:26:31.:26:38.

another bowler. And India not out 323-4. India are

:26:38.:26:45.

in control. And finally, even Steven Gerrard

:26:45.:26:50.

said it was the best goal had ever seen.

:26:50.:26:54.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic's winner for Sweden has been hailed as one of

:26:54.:26:59.

the sport's best-ever strikes. The man himself described it as a

:26:59.:27:02.

combination of luck and skill. Andy Swiss can tell you all about

:27:02.:27:09.

it if you did not see it. Question: What do you do 30 yards from goal

:27:09.:27:12.

and facing the wrong way? Answer: This....

:27:12.:27:21.

COMMENTATOR: Oh! It was the moment of breath-taking, chest-bearing

:27:21.:27:26.

genius. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, some called it a propellor kick, others

:27:26.:27:31.

an overhead lob, but everyone agreed it was out of this world so,

:27:31.:27:37.

was it the greatest goal ever? Even England could only stand and

:27:37.:27:43.

applaud. It was hard to imagine. It was the

:27:43.:27:47.

best goal I have seen in my career. Full credit to him.

:27:47.:27:55.

The title of Best Goal Ever has no shortage of claimants. If you want

:27:55.:28:02.

twinkling toes how about Diego Maradona against England?

:28:02.:28:09.

COMMENTATOR: That was magnificent! And for sheer power there was

:28:09.:28:17.

Holland's Van Basten in 1988. COMMENTATOR: What a goal! A beauty.

:28:17.:28:20.

Or how about something closer to home?

:28:20.:28:26.

COMMENTATOR: Wayne Rooney! That is fantastic! Now, one of sport's

:28:26.:28:30.

favourite pub debates has a new contender. Football has seen weird

:28:30.:28:34.

and wonderful things over the years, but nothing quite like the

:28:34.:28:43.

incredible Zlatan Ibrahimovic. incredible Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

:28:43.:28:46.

Now a weather update. Early morning mist and fog is

:28:46.:28:50.

causing problems this morning. As illustrated by this beautiful

:28:50.:28:53.

picture coming in from Leicester. This is Leicester a few hours ago.

:28:53.:28:58.

Now the cloud is lifting, but it is mainly cloudy for many. However,

:28:58.:29:03.

where the fog has lingered, it is having effect on the temperatures.

:29:03.:29:08.

Four Celsius in Coventry. That is the story in the Midlands. In the

:29:08.:29:14.

north 12 Celsius. There is some brightness here. That is over

:29:14.:29:20.

eastern Scotland, northern England and Anglesey. A contrasting

:29:20.:29:24.

temperature in the afternoon for the south-west. The odd spot or two

:29:24.:29:28.

of drizzle. Where the fog is lingering, the temperatures in the

:29:28.:29:33.

Midlands are struggling. By contrast into Anglesey in the north

:29:33.:29:37.

of England, not a bad afternoon, 11 Celsius there.

:29:37.:29:43.

In Northern Ireland, a little drizzle.

:29:43.:29:48.

In Aberdeen, a bright sunny afternoon, although six Celsius. In

:29:48.:29:55.

the north arched west rain is starting to show. Are -- in the

:29:55.:30:01.

north and in the afternoon in the west, some rain. Lingering fog in

:30:01.:30:07.

Wales and down into the south-west. Overmight, up to nine Celsius, and

:30:07.:30:14.

a little bit of rain. For Children in Need, a double pronged attack,

:30:14.:30:18.

problems from the north-west and the south-west, the problems will

:30:18.:30:23.

merge. They will take time arriving in the west, a murky cloudy start

:30:23.:30:27.

here. Rain in Scotland and Northern Ireland. The best of the brightness

:30:27.:30:36.

on Friday. Here a contrast in the south-east of 10 to 12 Celsius.

:30:36.:30:40.

Now the cloud and the rain is continuing to push to the south and

:30:40.:30:45.

the east through the day on Saturday. Rain for England and

:30:45.:30:52.

Wales. Behind it a contrast, clearer and sunny skies, but cool

:30:52.:30:55.

temperatures. High pressure on Sunday, so not a

:30:55.:31:00.

bad day in prospect. Make the most of it as another area of low

:31:00.:31:05.

pressure is pushing into the west so all change on Monday. For the

:31:05.:31:09.

weekend, the north of England starting off cloudy. Brightening up,

:31:09.:31:15.

rain to come down to the south-east. A sparkling sunny day in prospect

:31:15.:31:17.

A sparkling sunny day in prospect for Sunday.
