:01:43. > :01:45.Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at One. The presenter
:01:45. > :01:55.Jimmy Savile was a prolific, predatory sex offender who carried
:01:55. > :01:56.
:01:56. > :01:57.out abuse on an unprecedented scale for more than 50 years. Today the
:01:57. > :02:00.police and the Crown Prosecution Service have revealed the extent of
:02:00. > :02:03.his crimes and admitted that he could have been brought to justice
:02:03. > :02:06.while he was still alive if his victims had been taken more
:02:06. > :02:09.seriously. The BBC says it's "appalled" that Jimmy Savile preyed
:02:09. > :02:15.on victims on its premises and has again apologised to those affected.
:02:15. > :02:19.In total, police have recorded 214 crimes against him all over the UK.
:02:19. > :02:24.They say his footprint was vast and he used his celebrity to "hide in
:02:24. > :02:26.plain sight". A lot of the abuse was carried out at the BBC and 14
:02:26. > :02:33.medical sites, including a hospice, even schools, with the first
:02:33. > :02:37.allegation dating back to 1955, the most recent in 2009. The majority
:02:37. > :02:40.of his victims were girls between the ages of 13 and 16, but his
:02:40. > :02:50.youngest victim was a boy of just eight. Our correspondent David

:02:51. > :02:57.Sillito is at New Scotland Yard. There have been 30 officers. It's
:02:57. > :03:01.taken 14 weeks, and more than 600 people have come forward - 450
:03:01. > :03:06.giving evidence about crimes committed by Jimmy Savile, but this
:03:06. > :03:12.is a man they could never prosecute. What was this all about? The police
:03:12. > :03:17.say it was simply a matter of giving the victims a voice.
:03:17. > :03:24.Jimmy Savile, a predatory sexual offender der his first recorded
:03:24. > :03:29.assault was in 1955, the last, 2009. Today's police report gives us the
:03:29. > :03:33.clearest picture yet of his crimes. It's clear that their testimony
:03:33. > :03:38.when taken together presents a compelling case of a predatory sex
:03:38. > :03:41.offender across the whole of the UK. It could be said he groomed a
:03:42. > :03:48.nation. He was hiding in plain sight, and yet none of us were able
:03:48. > :03:54.to do anything about it. 40 years ago Deborah was a teenager, a
:03:54. > :03:58.resident of the Duncroft Children's Home. She says she spoke up at the
:03:58. > :04:03.time but nothing happened after her encounter with Jimmy Savile.
:04:03. > :04:11.forced me down backwards and pushed - you know, his weight on top of
:04:11. > :04:16.you and pushed his tongue into my mouth and down my throat, and you
:04:16. > :04:22.just had to endure it. She's now one of 450 people who have in the
:04:22. > :04:26.last 14 weeks approached the police about Jimmy Savile. 234 crimes, 14
:04:26. > :04:31.rapes in studios, 13 hospitals, a hospice and schools across the
:04:31. > :04:35.country. The youngest victim was just eight. And yet the world knew
:04:35. > :04:39.nothing until a few months ago when women from Duncroft decided to
:04:39. > :04:42.speak out. What they triggered was an avalanche - hundreds upon
:04:42. > :04:49.hundreds have come forward with their stories about the dark side
:04:49. > :04:58.of Jimmy Savile. This isn't justice, but at least they have been heard.
:04:58. > :05:05.Of course, there were suspicions over the years. This Louis Thorough
:05:05. > :05:09.documentary tackled the topic head This, is he, isn't he a
:05:09. > :05:12.paedophile... Yes whether I am or not, nobody knows whether I am.
:05:13. > :05:16.Complaints were made to police in 2007. Today Crown Prosecution
:05:16. > :05:23.Service issued an apology for not bringing a prosecution. A review of
:05:23. > :05:25.that case says they had been too cautious. There are also another 14
:05:25. > :05:29.Saville-related inquiry, but what about justice? This has been an
:05:29. > :05:32.investigation of a man who cannot be prosecuted.
:05:32. > :05:38.Do you think this brings something to an end? Do you think this helps?
:05:38. > :05:42.I hope so. It's helped me, and I'm sure it's helped a lot of others
:05:42. > :05:48.too, just to be able to finally be believed. It's not even telling the
:05:48. > :05:50.story. It's being believed. years on, there will be no
:05:50. > :05:55.conviction. This is perhaps the closest we'll get to the truth
:05:55. > :05:59.about Jimmy Savile. And in the last hour, the BBC has
:05:59. > :06:03.issued a statement saying it's appalled that any of these offences
:06:03. > :06:08.took place on BBC premises and restated their apology to the
:06:08. > :06:12.victims and added that of course there is the ongoing Dame Janet
:06:12. > :06:17.Smith review looking at the culture and practise of the BBC and how any
:06:17. > :06:22.of these things could have happened. David, thank you very much.
:06:22. > :06:29.Jimmy Savile used his charity fund- raising work to gain access to
:06:29. > :06:32.vulnerable people at 14 medical sites including hospitals, mental
:06:32. > :06:35.health units and even a hospice. Today the Department of Health said
:06:35. > :06:37.the scale of abuse was shocking and lessons must be learnt from his
:06:37. > :06:40.crimes. Here's Branwen Jeffreys. NHS hospitals which opened their
:06:40. > :06:45.doors to Jimmy Savile - his celebrity status meant he was taken
:06:45. > :06:49.at face value - a high-profile volunteer who raised considerable
:06:49. > :06:54.sums of money. It's now clear how much opportunity for abuse that
:06:54. > :06:59.created. Today's report says there were at
:07:00. > :07:03.least 50 offences at medical premises in 13 separate NHS
:07:03. > :07:10.hospitals and one hospice - at Stoke Mandeville Hospital where he
:07:10. > :07:17.had an office and a flat there were 22 offences between 1965 and '88,
:07:17. > :07:22.at Leeds, where he also had an office - 16 offences between 1965
:07:22. > :07:25.and 1995. At every other hospital and the hospice, there was one
:07:25. > :07:33.offence reported - opportunistic sexual abuse over three decades.
:07:33. > :07:35.was able to use his iconic fame to get himself into situations where
:07:35. > :07:42.there were vulnerable people, vulnerable children predominantly.
:07:42. > :07:47.He was very good at it. He was abusing in TV studios where people
:07:47. > :07:50.come and they were slightly in awe of his fame status. At Broadmoor,
:07:51. > :07:55.Jimmy Savile was appointed by Ministers to a task force - four of
:07:55. > :07:59.the hospitals where offences have been recorded were psychiatric
:07:59. > :08:03.institutions, while most of his offending involved children,
:08:03. > :08:13.vulnerable adults were also targets. In a statement today, the
:08:13. > :08:20.
:08:20. > :08:24.Kate Lampard, a lawyer, is overseeing the NHS investigations.
:08:24. > :08:27.The terms of reference were published in early December. While
:08:27. > :08:31.many of the hospitals still exist, the offences stretch back to the
:08:31. > :08:37.1960s. The report from the NHS inquiries are not expected until
:08:37. > :08:39.late this year. Let's go live to two of the
:08:40. > :08:42.hospitals where multiple offences have been recorded by the police -
:08:42. > :08:44.Stoke Mandeville in Buckinghamshire and Leeds General Infirmary. First,
:08:45. > :08:50.Louise Hubball at Stoke Mandeville. Jimmy Savile was a very well-known
:08:50. > :08:54.figure there and plenty of access to patients.
:08:54. > :08:58.Absolutely, Sophie. Jimmy Savile was a major fundraiser here at
:08:58. > :09:03.Stoke Mandeville Hospital, raising over �40 million to rebuild the
:09:03. > :09:07.National Spinal Injuries Centre here, but today's report reveals
:09:07. > :09:11.that behind that charitable facade he also committed 22 sexual
:09:11. > :09:16.offences here between 1965 and 1988. The Crown Prosecution Service have
:09:16. > :09:20.also said today that he could have faced prosecution for an assault on
:09:20. > :09:24.a teenaged girl outside the hospital, but the victim was
:09:24. > :09:29.treated with an unjustified degree of caution. People here are shocked
:09:29. > :09:34.at the scale of the abuse, and Buckinghamshire Health Care NHS
:09:34. > :09:36.Trust have issued a statement. They say last year the Trust set up an
:09:36. > :09:40.independent investigation. It's a serious and complex inquiry, they
:09:40. > :09:44.say, reviewing files and records from the last 40 years before it
:09:44. > :09:48.moves on to meeting and hearing from witnesses. They expect that
:09:48. > :09:51.report to be complete by the end of the year, and they are urging
:09:51. > :09:56.anyone with any information to come forward and contact that
:09:56. > :10:00.investigation team. And Stuart Flinders in Leeds, a
:10:00. > :10:04.similar story there - a very well- known figure there and a very
:10:04. > :10:08.frequent visitor. Yes, Jimmy Savile was very well known here at Leeds
:10:08. > :10:12.General Infirmary and dare I say it a popular figure, first as a
:10:12. > :10:16.volunteer, and later as an important fundraiser, and this
:10:16. > :10:19.hospital has today released a statement saying it is carrying out
:10:19. > :10:23.its own investigation. It expects to report towards the end of this
:10:23. > :10:27.year, and it will be looking at not only information from the police
:10:27. > :10:32.but also directly from his victims. 16 cases relate to this hospital,
:10:32. > :10:37.another to the famous teaching hospital St James's, which is knee,
:10:37. > :10:40.and another two - a psychiatric hospital which has since closed
:10:40. > :10:44.down and one other allegation which has emerged for the first time
:10:44. > :10:48.relating to a hospice here in Leeds and a statement from the hospital
:10:48. > :10:55.reads that they are appalled and dismayed by the allegation which
:10:55. > :10:58.relate to an incident back in 1977. Thank you both very much.
:10:58. > :11:03.And we'll be talking to the Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt at the end of
:11:03. > :11:06.the programme. Right now our legal affairs expert
:11:06. > :11:10.Clive Coleman is with me. Let's talk about the Crown Prosecution
:11:10. > :11:13.Service, a very strong statement from them, an apology and this
:11:13. > :11:18.admission that he could have been prosecuted if some of these victims
:11:18. > :11:21.had been taken more seriously. you say, this is a really strong,
:11:21. > :11:25.really powerful statement from Keir Starmer laced with I think a lot of
:11:25. > :11:28.genuine regret because what it says is in 2009 the criminal justice
:11:28. > :11:31.system in the form of senior police officer and Crown Prosecution
:11:31. > :11:36.Service lawyers failed the few victims of Jimmy Savile who at that
:11:36. > :11:40.stage had come forward, and of course, what that means is that the
:11:40. > :11:45.now - the mass of victims - we now know the size of Jimmy Savile's
:11:45. > :11:47.abusing - all of those victims have now been denied the chance to see
:11:47. > :11:50.Jimmy Savile prosecuted in a criminal court. What happened is
:11:50. > :11:55.that prosecutors and police simply didn't give enough credibility to
:11:55. > :12:00.witnesses. They didn't think about building cases, and they didn't
:12:00. > :12:04.critically in terms of the - the witnesses who had come forward -
:12:04. > :12:06.they didn't tell them about the other allegations. That, these
:12:06. > :12:13.witnesses said, would have given them the confidence to say, yes,
:12:13. > :12:16.we'll go to court and give evidence. He died 18 months ago. As you say,
:12:16. > :12:20.he'll never be brought to justice. What about these victims? That
:12:20. > :12:23.chapter is now over. Their only redress now is to bring civil
:12:23. > :12:26.claims. Civil claims are complicated. They can either sue
:12:26. > :12:31.the estate of Jimmy Savile or seek to sue one of these organisations
:12:31. > :12:34.with which he was associated and on whose premises it is said he abused
:12:34. > :12:37.his victims. Either a complaint can be brought in negligence - that's
:12:37. > :12:41.complicated because you have to show a duty of care that was
:12:41. > :12:45.breached. You have to go back and show what the organisation knew,
:12:45. > :12:48.what protective measure they took. Alternatively, something called
:12:48. > :12:53.vicarious liability. That's almost a no-fault liability where you sue
:12:53. > :12:57.the employer for the acts of the employee. It used to be a defence
:12:58. > :13:01.if you say Jimmy Savile wasn't actually an employee. The law has
:13:01. > :13:04.changed recently. The change has been driven by these historic
:13:04. > :13:09.sexual abuse cases. Last year the Supreme Court broadened that out so
:13:09. > :13:11.you don't now need to be an employee. You can now bring a claim
:13:11. > :13:15.against an organisation if the relationship is akin to employment.
:13:15. > :13:19.Thank you very much. You can see the full details of the
:13:19. > :13:26.report and the background on all the investigations on the BBC News
:13:26. > :13:29.website, bbc.co.uk/Savile. The rest of the news now, and the
:13:29. > :13:32.Japanese carmaker Honda is cutting 800 jobs at its factory in Swindon.
:13:32. > :13:34.The company says demand for its cars has fallen in Europe. Only
:13:34. > :13:37.last September, Honda announced a major investment programme at
:13:37. > :13:43.Swindon, but the expected increase in demand has failed to materialise.
:13:43. > :13:48.Here's our industry correspondent John Moylan.
:13:48. > :13:53.A grim start to the year for workers here at Honda's plants in
:13:53. > :13:57.Swindon. Staff emerged shocked and concerned at the news that 800 jobs
:13:57. > :14:02.will go by April. Just kicked the life out of everybody I think. You
:14:02. > :14:06.know, everybody's disappointed, and worried scared straight away, so
:14:06. > :14:11.yeah, a little bit devastated, to be honest. You know, that's all I
:14:11. > :14:16.can say, really, so... It's a huge reversal of fortunes. Back in
:14:16. > :14:22.September, the Business Secretary was at the plant welcoming news of
:14:22. > :14:26.a �260 million investment, Honda's biggest in Britain in a decade. The
:14:26. > :14:31.firm had also recruited 500 new staff, but it now says it's become
:14:31. > :14:34.a victim of the eurozone crisis, which has caused car sales in
:14:34. > :14:39.mainland Europe to plummet. We have to realign our business to the
:14:39. > :14:46.market conditions. What are the market conditions? In Europe, one
:14:46. > :14:51.million less cars were sold of all makes in 2012 over 2011. That
:14:51. > :14:56.impacts on everybody's business. Last year Honda produced around
:14:56. > :15:01.165,000 cars in Swindon - typically, 50% of those are exported to
:15:01. > :15:05.mainland Europe, but sales there fell by around 7.6% last year
:15:05. > :15:11.according to the latest figures. The UK auto industry has bounced
:15:11. > :15:15.back from the downturn, but while high-end brands like Jaguar, Land
:15:15. > :15:19.Rover and Bentley have fared well, some volume car makers have
:15:19. > :15:23.struggled. At Honda now, there are concerns over the wider impact in
:15:23. > :15:26.the area. One supply plant very close to Honda has already
:15:26. > :15:31.announced to its workforce that in the region of 300 jobs will go, so
:15:31. > :15:34.that won't be the end of it. I would anticipate that the
:15:34. > :15:39.announcement today would have a devastating effect in the region to
:15:39. > :15:43.three to 4,000 jobs going from the industry permanently. UK car
:15:43. > :15:45.exports are thought to be at record levels, but with many of those
:15:45. > :15:52.vehicles bound for the rest of Europe, that boom may be hard to

:20:35. > :20:38.with a new pistol for the first time in more than 40 years. The
:20:38. > :20:40.Ministry of Defence has a signed a �9 million contract to provide
:20:40. > :20:43.soldiers, sailors and air-personnel with more than 25,000 new Glock
:20:43. > :20:46.sidearms. They can be drawn and fired within about two seconds -
:20:46. > :20:47.replacing the slower Browning pistol which has been in service
:20:47. > :20:55.since 1967. Our Defence Correspondent Caroline Wyatt
:20:55. > :20:59.reports. It looks like a weapon James Bond
:20:59. > :21:02.might use but from now on this is the pistol that will be in the
:21:02. > :21:08.hands of British servicemen and women around the world, as the
:21:08. > :21:12.Brown something phased out after 45 years of service. This is the new
:21:12. > :21:17.pistol that British forces will be getting. It's the Glock 17,
:21:17. > :21:20.generation four and the MoD is buying 25,000 of these at a cost of
:21:20. > :21:25.�9 million and amongst the first troops to get it will be those
:21:25. > :21:30.serving out in Afghanistan on the frontline.
:21:30. > :21:39.This pistol was tested by British arms experts and its ultimate users
:21:39. > :21:45.for 18 months, in climb mats of minus -- climates of minus 40T
:21:45. > :21:49.proved reliable and won out over six other kpet tofrs -- competitors.
:21:49. > :21:53.We tested it over a rigorous period of time. We have put them through

:21:57. > :22:00.competition has gone through across the world. I think we are pretty
:22:00. > :22:04.confident that we now have what we consider to be the best pistol that
:22:04. > :22:08.we could find. Troops on operations in Afghanistan will still use
:22:08. > :22:14.heavier weapons such as rifles as their main weapon. This will be
:22:14. > :22:18.carried as a sidearm for personal protection. It's peace of mind. You
:22:18. > :22:24.know to know wherever you are you have that backup system. You need
:22:25. > :22:28.to know that your secondary, your partner has that backup as well, so
:22:28. > :22:32.if anything happens you can draw that pistol and engage the enemy.

:22:45. > :22:48.The first official portrait of the Duchess of Cambridge has been
:22:48. > :22:50.unveiled in London. The painting, by the award-winning artist Paul
:22:50. > :22:54.Emsley, is said to depict her natural, not her official, persona.
:22:54. > :22:57.It was unveiled by the Duchess herself who described it as amazing.
:22:57. > :23:00.Prince William said it was absolutely beautiful. But the
:23:00. > :23:08.public response has been a little more mixed. Our Royal correspondent
:23:08. > :23:11.Nicholas Witchell reports. It was, we are told, Kate's wish to
:23:11. > :23:15.be portrayed naturally. In other words, as the person that she is,
:23:15. > :23:19.rather than in the role which will shape the rest of her life. And
:23:19. > :23:25.this is the result, a portrait in oil, showing a smiling figure
:23:25. > :23:28.looking straight out of the canvas. This morning, Kate arrived with
:23:28. > :23:32.William at the National Portrait Gallery to view the picture. She
:23:32. > :23:36.was shown it in private. She reportedly said it was amazing and
:23:36. > :23:43.brilliant. As for William, well, he said what you would expect a loyal
:23:43. > :23:47.husband to say, absolutely beautiful was evidently his opinion.
:23:47. > :23:51.The picture is the result of six months' work by the artist Paul
:23:51. > :23:55.Emsley. After just two sittings with the Duchess, he worked from
:23:55. > :23:59.photographs to produce the painting. Initially, it was going to show an
:23:59. > :24:04.unsmiling figure, but then the artist rethought it, to produce the
:24:04. > :24:09.portrait which goes on public display today. There were times
:24:09. > :24:15.when I thought it's not going to work. I must be honest. But,
:24:15. > :24:19.eventually, persistence pays off and you get there in the end.
:24:19. > :24:22.leading art critic, though, is less sure as to whether the portrait
:24:22. > :24:27.works. There's something that doesn't quite match about the face.
:24:27. > :24:32.The top seems to be be stern and you get to the mouth and there is
:24:32. > :24:36.this attempt at some elusive half- smile. There is a mismatch. I have
:24:36. > :24:42.to say almost the worst thing about it is when you get very, very close,
:24:42. > :24:47.the Duchess looks older than she is. For Kate, approximately three
:24:47. > :24:57.months pregnant now, with and her health seemingly restored, it's a
:24:57. > :24:58.
:24:58. > :25:00.portrait that tries to capture a young woman entering Royal life.
:25:00. > :25:05.Cricket, and England's first one- day international match against
:25:05. > :25:12.India is set for a thrilling climax. The match is evenly poised in
:25:12. > :25:16.Rajkot with India chasing a target of 326 runs. India are 218-4. Rob
:25:16. > :25:20.Heath reports. Before Christmas England won a Test series in India
:25:20. > :25:24.for the first time in 27 years. Success in these one-day matches
:25:24. > :25:29.would be another shock for the faithful. England's recent 50 over
:25:29. > :25:35.record in India reads played ten, lost ten. But they quickly set
:25:35. > :25:39.about bucking another trend. Bell crafted a classy 85. After scoring
:25:39. > :25:43.three centuries in the Test matches the Captain was sailing towards one
:25:43. > :25:53.here before finally departing for England then lost their way
:25:53. > :25:55.
:25:55. > :26:03.slightly. But late momentum was provided by Patel.
:26:03. > :26:07.India are now without their little master in one-day cricket. Singh
:26:07. > :26:10.made a quick 61 and the match is still in the balance.
:26:10. > :26:18.Winning the Test series proved tough. One-day success could be
:26:18. > :26:21.even tougher. Back now to our main story and the
:26:21. > :26:23.police report into Jimmy Savile that's made clear the extent of his
:26:23. > :26:27.crimes over more than half a century. More than 200 offences
:26:27. > :26:30.have been recorded by police - 50 of them at medical sites across the
:26:30. > :26:34.UK. I'm joined now by the Health Secretary, Jeremy Hunt. Good
:26:34. > :26:38.afternoon. Thank you for joining us. Hospitals, men mental health
:26:38. > :26:41.institutions, even a hospice. It's observation ordinary when you see -
:26:41. > :26:44.- extraordinary that he managed to get away with this for so long?
:26:44. > :26:51.Good afternoon. I think the first thing I want to say is I feel utter
:26:51. > :26:55.sense of shock that this could have happened over 41 years and that
:26:55. > :27:01.someone who was a national treasure, a celebrity, trusted and loved by
:27:01. > :27:05.so many people could have been able to do this over so many years and
:27:05. > :27:08.my first priority is people who used the NHS today because I want
:27:08. > :27:15.to know and it's very, very important that the investigations
:27:15. > :27:17.that are happening uncover whether there was a problem with NHS
:27:17. > :27:21.procedures which weren't what they should have been or whether
:27:21. > :27:23.procedures were there but blind eyes were turned and that's a
:27:23. > :27:26.critical question that we have to get to the bottom of. What are you
:27:27. > :27:30.doing to do that, are you tracing former staff who may have worked
:27:30. > :27:35.with him in years gone by because this dates back a long time, are
:27:35. > :27:39.you contacting them and finding out what they knew? Absolutely. But you
:27:39. > :27:43.will understand that it's an incredibly complex process. This
:27:43. > :27:47.happened up to four decades ago. The result of that is that we
:27:47. > :27:51.didn't have electronic records in those days. Very often we don't
:27:51. > :27:56.know the name of the victim that's alleging things have happened and
:27:56. > :27:59.so it's a - it's sometimes like a needle in a haystack. We will do
:27:59. > :28:03.the work that's necessary. I know every NHS institution will do
:28:03. > :28:07.absolutely everything that it takes because we want to be able to
:28:07. > :28:11.reassure people using the NHS today. We want to know that we have the
:28:11. > :28:16.right procedures in place. A lot has changed. We have CRB checks now,
:28:16. > :28:20.we have local safeguarding children boards, as well. But we need to be
:28:20. > :28:23.absolutely sure that this kind of thing can't happen again. I want to
:28:23. > :28:26.make sure the NHS does everything possible to do that. Of course,
:28:26. > :28:30.hospitals above all, are places where people really do have the
:28:30. > :28:34.right to feel safe and and clearly they didn't. They weren't at times
:28:34. > :28:39.and people seemed to be blinded by Jimmy Savile's celebrity and also
:28:39. > :28:43.by his great charity work, his fundraising power. I think that's
:28:43. > :28:47.what's so sickening about the whole thing. People in hospitals are the
:28:47. > :28:51.most vulnerable people in society. The thought that this man was able
:28:51. > :28:55.to do this for so long, and the other question that we really do
:28:55. > :28:59.need to ask, apart from how we could be a society where this kind
:28:59. > :29:03.of thing happens, is whether there were any blind eyes that were
:29:03. > :29:07.turned by anyone, because Jimmy Savile obviously had a very
:29:07. > :29:13.important role. He was key to the fundraising for many institutions.
:29:13. > :29:17.We just need to know that people in authority really did react the way
:29:17. > :29:27.they they should have reacted and if they didn't we need to know that
:29:27. > :29:29.
:29:29. > :29:33.and learn lessons. Thank you. Time Could have scenes like this at the
:29:33. > :29:38.weekend. It's turning colder for all of us and there is snow in the
:29:38. > :29:44.forecast, as well. Today, it's quiet. We have sunshine for central
:29:44. > :29:48.areas. More cloud and rain coming in from the south-west and cloudy
:29:48. > :29:52.conditions down the eastern side. Showers in the north-east will turn
:29:52. > :29:57.wintry over the hills tonight. In the south-west rain swinging up
:29:57. > :30:01.here as the wind picks up later and the rain will turn heavy. At least
:30:01. > :30:05.it keeps temperatures up. On the whole, the frost is going to be
:30:05. > :30:10.patchy tonight. The fog, too. There will be a good deal of cloud around.
:30:10. > :30:14.The really cold air is going to arrive this weekend. It starts to
:30:14. > :30:17.feed in wintry showers from the North Sea. The complication on
:30:17. > :30:23.Saturday is this area of low pressure dragging this rain in from
:30:23. > :30:27.the south-west, as well. Tomorrow morning, it's rain across the
:30:28. > :30:32.southern counties of England, soon clearing from the south-west.
:30:32. > :30:41.Heavier rain pushing into Dorset and Hampshire. Maybe signs of snow
:30:41. > :30:47.beginning to develop over the Brecon Beacons. Frost maybe here.
:30:47. > :30:50.More cloud keeping temperatures up in Northern Ireland. A lot of sleet
:30:50. > :30:56.and snow showers arriving in Scotland and north-east England.
:30:56. > :31:02.Further south, rain for most of the day. Lighter further north into
:31:02. > :31:05.Wales. That starts to turn to sleet and snow towards the latter part of
:31:05. > :31:08.the afternoon. Further north, we keep cold and sunny weather. More
:31:08. > :31:12.snow showers to come during Saturday night for parts of eastern
:31:12. > :31:20.Scotland and northern England. We will see more sleet and snow
:31:20. > :31:23.falling across southern parts of England and Wales. Then it gets
:31:23. > :31:26.really cold. Not just cold, but very icy and that could be the
:31:27. > :31:31.major problem across southern areas later in the night and into Sunday.
:31:31. > :31:34.We are also going to continue to feed snow showers into eastern
:31:34. > :31:38.England on Sunday. Those will become fewer. Much of England and
:31:38. > :31:41.Wales, a dry and cold day with sunshine. Rain coming into Northern
:31:41. > :31:45.Ireland and working into Scotland and will turn to sleet and snow.
:31:45. > :31:49.It's Monday that we have the more significant snow into England and
:31:49. > :31:51.Wales as that wetter weather pushes south, turning to sleet and snow
:31:51. > :31:57.and arriving in the south-east and through the Midlands just in time
:31:57. > :32:00.for the rush hour on Monday evening. Thank you very much.
