:01:36. > :01:39.Too little has been done to integrate people who have settled

:01:39. > :01:42.in Britain from abroad - that's according to the Labour leader, Ed

:01:42. > :01:44.Miliband. He admitted his party had made mistakes while in Government

:01:45. > :01:50.and had failed to tackle the growing problem of segregation in

:01:50. > :01:52.Britain's cities along racial and ethnic lines. He called for a

:01:52. > :01:58.better strategy to help cope with the pressures of a multi-ethnic

:01:58. > :02:03.society. Here's our political correspondent, Iain Watson.

:02:10. > :02:18.College is in an an area half the population don't describe

:02:18. > :02:26.themselves as white/British. Ed Miliband says if communities are

:02:26. > :02:29.are not going to grow further apart there should be more English.

:02:29. > :02:33.There is a minority who have come here without being able to speak

:02:34. > :02:37.English. That makes life harder for them. Those who don't speak English

:02:37. > :02:42.are less able to get a good job, and less able to make the most of

:02:42. > :02:46.being in Britain. Ed Miliband says he recognises some

:02:46. > :02:49.communities anxieties, but the pace of immigration and the scale of

:02:49. > :02:54.change so he will accept the Government's cut of migration

:02:54. > :02:56.outside the EU if there is evidence that it works, but Labour are

:02:56. > :03:00.insisting that they are not concerned about the numbers of

:03:01. > :03:08.people who come to Britain, but about how well they integrate when

:03:08. > :03:12.they get here. Under Labour, net migration rose from 140,000 to

:03:12. > :03:19.198,000 in 2009. Last year under the coalition, it stood at 242,000,

:03:19. > :03:23.but it has fallen. In 2002 a survey suggested around four out of ten

:03:23. > :03:26.people felt immigration had a negative economic impact.

:03:26. > :03:30.Here in South London, there was support for measures that

:03:30. > :03:34.encouraged greater integration. I support that immensely because

:03:34. > :03:39.one of the things that we can do is get communities communities groups

:03:39. > :03:42.in our local library and learn people to speak English.

:03:43. > :03:47.Others say Labour should have done more to control the numbers coming

:03:47. > :03:51.into the country. We are getting overcrowded.

:03:51. > :03:55.Was the number too high? Yes, it was too high. I think we relied too

:03:55. > :03:57.much on low skill migration. All the things he laid out this

:03:57. > :04:04.morning were dealing with the problems that the Government that

:04:04. > :04:10.he was a member of created. Government has taken firm action to

:04:10. > :04:14.deal with the system they broke. Ed Miliband says he celebrates a

:04:14. > :04:20.multi-cultural society. Opponents say he is under estimating voters

:04:20. > :04:22.Our political correspondent Carole Walker is at Westminster. How much

:04:22. > :04:27.afchange in policy is this for Labour? Well, there is a shift

:04:27. > :04:30.going on here. Labour in the past was critical of the Government's

:04:30. > :04:33.cap on immigration. Now, Ed Miliband, is saying that is

:04:33. > :04:38.something they are going to look at. The Government would say there

:04:38. > :04:43.already is evidence that it is working on reducing net immigration.

:04:43. > :04:48.Interesting too that Ed Miliband was focusing on language as a

:04:48. > :04:51.barrier to integration, but there are some questions on that. The

:04:51. > :04:57.Immigration Minister said these were hollow words. He pointed out

:04:57. > :05:04.that the Government is already - has already introduce a language

:05:04. > :05:09.requirement on anyone coming to this country to to work or study

:05:09. > :05:12.from outside Europe. Sources are saying it would be difficult to

:05:13. > :05:16.impose such a restriction on people from the EU because they have a

:05:16. > :05:19.right of freedom of movement. He was pointing out that everyone

:05:19. > :05:23.would accept the need for public service workers to speak good

:05:23. > :05:29.English. But to suggest there was a requirement for all public sector

:05:29. > :05:34.workers to reach a certain level, there is a question 6 question of

:05:34. > :05:40.how you are going to test that. Labour want to address voters

:05:40. > :05:44.concerns, but we are going to have to wait and see detailed policies

:05:44. > :05:47.before we can see if they have achieved what they hoped.

:05:47. > :05:50.The Deputy Prime Minister is calling for a full-scale review of

:05:50. > :05:53.Britain's drug laws. Nick Clegg says we can't carry on ignoring

:05:53. > :05:56.evidence that society is losing the so-called war on drugs. But his

:05:56. > :06:01.announcement comes just five days after the Prime Minister ruled out

:06:01. > :06:05.any changes. Here's Mark Easton. The question of whether Britain's

:06:05. > :06:08.drug laws need significant reform has become the latest issue to

:06:08. > :06:12.divide the coalition Government. The Prime Minister and Home

:06:12. > :06:19.Secretary, say there is no need for a Royal Commission on drugs because

:06:19. > :06:23.Britain's strategy is working. But in an interview with the the BBC,

:06:23. > :06:27.Nick Clegg said the opposite. I don't see this as a thing between

:06:28. > :06:31.myself and the Prime Minister. It is not an issue of what different

:06:31. > :06:35.politicians, it is what do we as a country believe is the right thing

:06:35. > :06:39.to do. If you are anti-drugs, you should be pro-reform.

:06:39. > :06:43.Last year, the Liberal Democrats voted to establish a panel to

:06:43. > :06:47.consider decriminalising the use of all drugs. Mr Clegg is demanding

:06:47. > :06:53.the Government look at the system in Portugal where all drugs have

:06:53. > :06:56.been dependalised and at the the experience in Washington and

:06:56. > :06:59.Colorado where marijuana has been legalised. The Deputy Prime

:06:59. > :07:03.Minister rejects allegations that he is sending a dangerous message

:07:03. > :07:05.to young people. I think it is important that we break this

:07:06. > :07:09.conspiracy of silence, where politicians, when they are in

:07:09. > :07:12.Government at least, say this is all too controversial, we are not

:07:12. > :07:16.going to look elsewhere. We are not going to compare notes with

:07:16. > :07:22.European countries. We are not going to look at what they are

:07:22. > :07:25.doing in Latin America and North America to make sure wir doing all

:07:25. > :07:29.we can to help families and children who are affected by the

:07:29. > :07:34.blight of drugs. The Prime Minister made it clear he

:07:34. > :07:37.was opposed to any review of Britain's drug strategy, but played

:07:37. > :07:41.down the coalition split. The Deputy Prime Minister is

:07:41. > :07:45.entitled to take a view for the next election and beyond for his

:07:45. > :07:50.manifesto. Wanting to go further. Wanting to have a Royal Commission.

:07:50. > :07:52.I don't support a Royal Commission in my view, there is always a a

:07:52. > :07:57.danger that they can take minutes and last for years.

:07:57. > :08:01.There is no question of any change to drugs drugs policy in this

:08:01. > :08:05.Parliament, but as the first serving minister of the Crown to

:08:05. > :08:10.call for reform of the drug laws, Mr Clegg is looking to a debate

:08:10. > :08:16.beyond 2015. Let's get more on this from Norman

:08:16. > :08:21.Smith. There is more disagreement and and divisions within the

:08:21. > :08:24.coalition, is it serious? We have a disagreement today over drugs

:08:24. > :08:27.policy. You go back to the start of the week and we had the

:08:27. > :08:30.disagreement over security policy and allowing the police to access

:08:30. > :08:34.our e-mails and texts and before that, we had the high-profile

:08:34. > :08:39.disApril greement over whether should be legislation to implement

:08:39. > :08:43.the Leveson proposals. Those around Mr Clegg say this is not part of

:08:43. > :08:46.some plan to put distance between himself and the Prime Minister, but

:08:46. > :08:54.it does tell us two things. One is that the pressure, the need, Mr

:08:54. > :08:58.Clegg has to show his own people that that he has not become some

:08:58. > :09:02.Cameron-like figure that he is willing to speak out on issues that

:09:02. > :09:09.matter to the Liberal Democrats, but we are seeing a coalition which

:09:09. > :09:12.is becoming much looser, much less fluid and much less tightly bound

:09:12. > :09:17.and that carries with it risks. Risk number one, it is easy for

:09:17. > :09:22.Labour to play one man off against the other. Risk number two, is that

:09:22. > :09:26.it risks further enraging many Tory backbenchers when they see Nick

:09:26. > :09:30.Clegg criticising Government policy, but above all, it risks creating

:09:30. > :09:35.the appearance of a division and of a split and we know from history

:09:35. > :09:38.that divisions and splits can profoundly weaken Governments.

:09:38. > :09:41.Norman, thank you very much. There has been a dramatic increase

:09:41. > :09:44.in the number of allegations of child sex abuse since the

:09:44. > :09:48.revelations about Jimmy Savile. Children's Protection Agencies say

:09:48. > :09:52.the number of reports last month was up by almost a third on a year

:09:52. > :10:01.ago. The NSPCC is urging people not to hesitate in coming forward if

:10:01. > :10:06.they have concerns. Tom Symonds reports. His face has been on our

:10:06. > :10:13.screens for all the wrong reasons since September. But it seems to be

:10:13. > :10:16.helping abuse victims reveal the secrets of their past. Stacey Watts

:10:16. > :10:19.knows how hard it can be to take the decision to tell someone.

:10:20. > :10:24.You are in a safe zone when the secret is still with you. Hopefully

:10:24. > :10:28.we are going to go through a cultural change of acceptance that

:10:28. > :10:32.yes, it does happen and that this topic can't be ignored anymore.

:10:32. > :10:36.Children coming forward can't be ignored anymore. They have to be

:10:36. > :10:41.believed. The Metropolitan Police says

:10:41. > :10:49.allegations of abuse in the past have increased 300% since the

:10:49. > :10:52.Savile scandal. The NSPCC has had a 200% increase in calls. And today

:10:52. > :10:56.the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre has told the BBC

:10:56. > :11:04.it received 30% more cases in November alone, compared to

:11:04. > :11:09.November last year. It is report frs adult and reports from children.

:11:09. > :11:13.It is difficult for a a child to raise a flag and say someone is

:11:13. > :11:18.hurting me. It is important that other people report it. Anyone who

:11:18. > :11:24.observe it is and those reports have gone up as well.

:11:24. > :11:28.The NSPCC launched a new campaign which emphasises the need for those

:11:28. > :11:33.who believe abuse is taking place to report it even if they are not

:11:33. > :11:38.100% sure. With sexual abuse, it is difficult

:11:38. > :11:43.to be 100% certain into a child is a victim -- certain that a child is

:11:43. > :11:49.a victim of abuse. Don't wait until you are certain, call us. Speak to

:11:49. > :11:52.our trained counsellors, we will talk to you. We will help you

:11:52. > :11:57.decide whether or not a child is at risk. We can take that information.

:11:57. > :11:59.You can call us anonymously as well. You don't have to say who you are

:11:59. > :12:03.and we will make sure that that information is acted upon.

:12:03. > :12:08.The charity says Savile's victims have done a great public service in

:12:08. > :12:17.placing a Spotlight on child sexual abuse and the problem should not be

:12:17. > :12:20.allowed to slide back into the A coroner has ruled that one of

:12:20. > :12:23.Britain's richest women died as a result of drug abuse. An inquest

:12:23. > :12:26.into the death of Eva Rausing, who was married to the Tetra Pak heir

:12:26. > :12:30.Hans Christian Rausing, found that the mother of four died as a result

:12:30. > :12:34.of cocaine intoxication. Her body lay undiscovered for two months at

:12:34. > :12:37.her home in West London. Birmingham's City Hospital has

:12:37. > :12:41.closed all its wards to visitors because of an outbreak of the

:12:41. > :12:47.winter vomiting bug. There has been a 72% increase in cases of

:12:47. > :12:52.norovirus there compared to this time last year. The George Elliot

:12:52. > :12:58.Hospital is also closed to almost all its visitors because of

:12:58. > :13:04.Norovirus. A cruise company has apologised to

:13:04. > :13:08.passengers who were affected. More than 150 passengers were struck

:13:08. > :13:13.down by Norovirus during a ten-day cruise which departed on 4th

:13:13. > :13:16.December. The former Labour MP Margaret Moran

:13:16. > :13:21.has been given a two year supervision and treatment order for

:13:21. > :13:23.fiddling her expenses to receive more than �53,000 from the taxpayer.

:13:23. > :13:29.Mrs Moran, who's suffering from severe depression, did not appear

:13:29. > :13:33.at Southwark Crown Court. Daniel Boettcher is there. Is it her

:13:33. > :13:38.mental health issues that mean she hasn't received a criminal

:13:38. > :13:43.conviction for this? Well, it has been an unusual case.

:13:43. > :13:47.Margaret Moran was found to be unfit to stand trial so she has

:13:47. > :13:54.been no part of these proceedings. A doctor treating her was today

:13:54. > :13:58.asked about her health and he said she rufrd r -- suffered from panic

:13:59. > :14:03.attacks and she was ill. Her health appeared to be deteriorating

:14:03. > :14:08.already last year when she came before magistrates and since then

:14:08. > :14:11.she has been examined by two experts who are the -- for the

:14:12. > :14:16.defence who found she could not stand trial and an expert for the

:14:16. > :14:20.prosecution who Bradley agreed with that. -- broadly agreed with that.

:14:20. > :14:24.This has been a trial of issues and jurors when they heard the evidence

:14:25. > :14:31.last month found that the facts as alleged by the prosecution had been

:14:31. > :14:36.established so that Margaret Moran had received �53,000 to which she

:14:36. > :14:41.was not entitled. The finding by the jury was not the same as a

:14:41. > :14:46.guilty verdict and not a conviction. And what did the judge have to say?

:14:46. > :14:50.Well, Mr Justice Saunders ordered that Margaret Moran should under go

:14:50. > :14:54.treatment for a period of two years under the supervision of a mental

:14:54. > :14:58.health social worker. He explained why the court had acted in the way

:14:58. > :15:01.that it had done and at the end of his ruling he said, "There will be

:15:01. > :15:06.feelings amongst some that Mrs Moran has got away with it. What

:15:06. > :15:12.the court has done and has to do is to act in accordance of the law of

:15:12. > :15:16.the land and on the basis of the evidence that it hears. ". Thank

:15:16. > :15:19.you very much. The Labour leader Ed Miliband says

:15:19. > :15:25.too little is being done to integrate people who have come to

:17:12. > :17:17.providing missiles. Does this risk raising the stakes in the Syrian

:17:17. > :17:20.crisis? I see the Patriot missiles as a defensive move. The Al-Assad

:17:20. > :17:24.regime knows it's a defensive move. Though these missiles can

:17:24. > :17:27.theoretically be used to shoot down planes and contribute to a no-fly

:17:27. > :17:32.zone, that's probably not going to happen. They're far too expensive

:17:32. > :17:36.and scarce to use for that purpose. Syria's most important ally, Russia,

:17:37. > :17:40.has already responded, saying the American missile deployment creates

:17:40. > :17:50.extra tension and does not assist a political solution of the Syrian

:17:50. > :18:00.conflict. It does put the spotlight again op the volatile Syria/Turkey

:18:39. > :18:45.was pretty strong in what he said, though he wouldn't elaborate on

:18:45. > :18:49.what he meant by "nothing being off the table" when pushed on it. He is

:18:49. > :18:54.supported here by the French. The French and British have been

:18:54. > :18:58.leading the European pack,if you like, on supporting the opposition.

:18:58. > :19:03.David Cameron pointed to council conclusion that's talk about, so

:19:03. > :19:08.this is all EU members, 27 member states u, talking about they must

:19:09. > :19:13.work on all options to support the opposition. They repeat political

:19:13. > :19:17.transition is necessary in Syria. They talk of his ill legitimate

:19:17. > :19:22.regime. David Cameron said that represented progress. I think some

:19:22. > :19:25.of the context to that is the the fact that some other countries,

:19:25. > :19:30.notably the Germans, are less overwhelmingly convinced that the

:19:30. > :19:35.opposition in Syria, at the moment, should be robustly backed. That

:19:35. > :19:38.means, yet again, that on another crucial foreign policy issue, the

:19:38. > :19:43.European Union doesn't have a coherent stance to make it a big

:19:43. > :19:46.player in this debate. I don't think we're going to see major

:19:46. > :19:49.changes, for instance, to the arms embargo that Europe has put in

:19:49. > :19:54.place that night allow weapons to be provided to the Syrian

:19:54. > :19:59.opposition. In that sense, dfpbg and his French counterpart might

:20:24. > :20:27.Lyse Doucet sent this report from President Morsi's home town.

:20:28. > :20:33.This village is much like any other Egyptian village, but it has a

:20:33. > :20:38.claim to fame. It's where President Mohamed Morsi was born. Everyone

:20:38. > :20:45.knows Mohamed Morsi here, but do they know his constitution? It's

:20:45. > :20:53.the future of their country. 63 pages long, 236 articles. Have they

:20:53. > :20:57.read it? Do they understand it? And will they vote for it? Most

:20:57. > :21:01.Egyptians live in rural areas. Most are poor. This new charter affects

:21:11. > :21:14.the state. They seem to know that. This woman tells me "just because

:21:14. > :21:19.we're farmers, doesn't mean we're not educated. I've read the

:21:19. > :21:25.constitution and I'm very convinced of it."

:21:29. > :21:34.over this document. Policemen barricades around President Morsi's

:21:39. > :21:46.crucial vote, Egyptians are deeply divided. We stop by a street cafe,

:21:46. > :21:55.taken over by football fans to ask what side they're on. In Arabic, a

:22:17. > :22:24.constitution is good. No. No. No? Back to football. But you got

:22:25. > :22:31.the idea. Egypt lost the game. There's a lot more to lose if

:22:31. > :22:35.tomorrow's vote doesn't end the crisis.

:22:35. > :22:41.A man's appeared in court charged with the murders of four siblings.

:22:41. > :22:44.Dyson Allen is accused of killing Reece Smith, who was 19, four-year-

:22:44. > :22:48.old twins Holly and Ella and two- year-old Jordan at a fire in their

:22:48. > :22:52.home. Our correspondent Ed Thomas is at the scene of the fire in

:22:52. > :22:57.Freckleton. Tell us what happened in court this morning. Yes, this

:22:57. > :23:01.was the first appearance of 19- year-old Dyson Allen. It's nearly a

:23:01. > :23:05.year since the blaze here at the converted bungalow. Today, the home

:23:05. > :23:09.is still empty. The 19-year-old was led into the dock by a security

:23:09. > :23:15.guard. He was close to tears. He nodded to confirm his name and his

:23:15. > :23:19.age. Then the charges, four counts of murder, were read to him. This

:23:19. > :23:24.includes the death of 19-year-old Reece Smith, his two sisters, four-

:23:24. > :23:27.year-old twins, Holly and Ella and their two-year-old brother, Jordan.

:23:27. > :23:31.Police say the fire started in the attic of this converted bungalow.

:23:31. > :23:35.At the time, friends, neighbours, all desperately tried to save all

:23:35. > :23:39.of the children. They were rushed to hospital. Later they died from

:23:39. > :23:42.the effects of breathing in smoke. Police also said that their

:23:42. > :23:47.investigation goes on. They still want to hear from witnesses who

:23:47. > :23:50.were here in January before the fire. As for Dyson Allen, he was

:23:50. > :23:56.remanded in custody and he'll appear before Preston Crown Court

:23:56. > :23:59.on Monday. Just 12% of 14-year-old girls in

:23:59. > :24:04.Britain are reaching the recommended levels of physical

:24:04. > :24:07.activity, that's half the number of boys of the same age. Our

:24:07. > :24:14.correspondent has been to Sweden to find out why women there are four

:24:14. > :24:18.times more likely to be physically active than British counterparts.

:24:18. > :24:22.Stockholm in winter, this country bucks the European trend. They're

:24:22. > :24:28.sportier and fitter and yes, as a result on the whole, healthier than

:24:28. > :24:38.most. Sweden has a harsher climate than the UK and fewer daylight

:24:38. > :24:41.hours too, still girls are much part of their lives as they grow up.

:24:41. > :24:45.On average, a Swedish woman is four times more likely than her British

:24:45. > :24:50.counterpart to be active. But the head of the Swedish sports

:24:50. > :24:55.confederation says it's because women here have a head start.

:24:55. > :24:58.been working quite a lot with more women in the position where the

:24:59. > :25:02.decisions are made. For example in the executive committees and the

:25:02. > :25:10.boards and the clubs. Women are 40% of all those who are active in

:25:10. > :25:17.sport in Sweden. That also has to be reflected in those areas where

:25:17. > :25:20.the decisions are taken. In a suburb of Stockholm is this

:25:20. > :25:27.thriving sports club which can trace its history back to the

:25:27. > :25:32.Swedish Olympics of 1912. They run an impressive array of girls teams.

:25:33. > :25:37.Some of these players are following in their mother's, even

:25:37. > :25:41.grandmother's footsteps. It's 4pm in the afternoon. It's already dark.

:25:41. > :25:45.It's freezey -- freezing cold. There's horizontal rain. All these

:25:45. > :25:49.girls have been at school all day. This is one of the most

:25:49. > :25:53.enthusiastic football training sessions I have ever been to.

:25:53. > :25:57.the bottom of it all, it's just having a laugh and having a good

:25:57. > :26:04.time, yeah. Do they need to be good? Everyone can play. We never

:26:04. > :26:10.say no. You never turn anyone away? No. Almost half of this country's

:26:10. > :26:16.population is a member of a sports club, from the age of seven to 70,

:26:16. > :26:20.they simply make sport a part of their way of life.

:26:20. > :26:24.Now the Tour De France is returning to Britain in 2014. Leeds will host

:26:24. > :26:29.the start of the race. Tour organisers say that after an

:26:29. > :26:32.historic win for Bradley Wiggins this year, they're delighted that

:26:32. > :26:36.the 101st tour will finish in London, before crossing the channel

:26:37. > :26:40.to France. Stkpwhraen's cibgtders have put

:26:40. > :26:44.themselves in a -- England's cricketers have put themselves in a

:26:44. > :26:49.commanding position in the second day of the Fourth Test. England

:26:49. > :26:53.finished on 330 all out. Jimmy Anderson made early inroads against

:26:53. > :26:59.the Indian batsmen who are 87 for four in reply at close of play. Joe

:27:00. > :27:02.Wilson reports from Nagpur. Don't let it be said that Nagpur is

:27:02. > :27:06.unprepared. Around the ground they were taking no chances. Security

:27:06. > :27:09.that befits a huge new stadium. Trouble is it was built so far from

:27:09. > :27:16.anywhere, only the devoted made it there by morning.

:27:16. > :27:21.India! There were precious few inside to see Matt Prior make 50.

:27:21. > :27:25.He's aye well established asset in England's side. Joe Root is a

:27:26. > :27:31.surprise, a gift. Few expected him even to play here. He faced 229

:27:31. > :27:41.balls to make 73. He may look 21 going on 12, but he could not have

:27:41. > :27:41.

:27:41. > :27:44.batted with more maturity. runs too, making his fifth test 50

:27:44. > :27:51.in his 50th test. 330 as a total looked good, but it depended on the

:27:51. > :27:54.other team. As the afternoon progressed the

:27:54. > :28:04.interest grew. Look at the queue here now. People are waiting to get

:28:04. > :28:04.

:28:04. > :28:08.in. What Indian fans really love is seeing their team bat. Sehwag only

:28:08. > :28:15.entertained England, cleaned up for naught. Anderson had got rid of a

:28:15. > :28:21.big problem in the first over. By the close, England had four wickets,

:28:21. > :28:27.Anderson three, including Tend ulkar. India may not have a way

:28:27. > :28:30.back in this match. The -- they're 243 behind.

:28:30. > :28:38.There was a fair amount of cloud around last night. For those lucky

:28:38. > :28:41.enough to have clear skies, there The annual Geminid meteor shower

:28:42. > :28:46.was reaching its peak. It occurs every year as the earth crosses the

:28:46. > :28:52.path of an asteroid. Late night sky watchers were rewarded with the

:28:52. > :28:56.sight of dozens of Shooting Stars, trail of debris burned up in the

:28:56. > :28:57.atmosphere. Quite a sight. No cloud-free skies

:28:57. > :29:02.Quite a sight. No cloud-free skies now though.

:29:02. > :29:08.It's pretty cloudy at the moment. And a lot of cloud tonight as well.

:29:08. > :29:12.Plenty of other things falling out of the sky today. It's change over

:29:12. > :29:22.day today. It's messy and painful change. Strong winds and heavy rain

:29:22. > :29:30.

:29:30. > :29:35.It's the boundary between the two air masses. It's producing a lot of

:29:35. > :29:39.rain. More of that to come this afternoon across Wales. The winds

:29:39. > :29:42.easing a touch here. In Northern Ireland wet too. Coastal flooding

:29:42. > :29:47.down the East Coast. But water on the roads inland as well. Northern

:30:01. > :30:07.thing this morning. Further south, beginning to seat back of the rain

:30:11. > :30:16.through the channel though to impact one or two of the ferry

:30:18. > :30:23.Potential for transport disruption through today and tonight. BBC

:30:23. > :30:25.local radio and the weather pages of the website are a good spot for

:30:25. > :30:30.the information on that. Through tonight, we will see the worst of

:30:30. > :30:35.the weather pushing northwards. Strong winds, severe gales across

:30:35. > :30:37.north-east Scotland, still snow across the mountains. Blizzards

:30:37. > :30:42.possibly for Shetland. Further south things clear up. A windy

:30:46. > :30:50.around six or seven degrees. The weekend - we saw clearer weather

:30:50. > :30:54.heading our way. It's bright and breezy pretty much sums it up.

:30:54. > :30:57.There will be heavy showers around. Some of those could be thundery out
