BBC News at One. The Royal College of Nursing and the Government are | :01:33. | :01:39. | |
locked in a war of words over plans to change the NHS after the | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
Staffordshire hospital public inquiry. Ministers want students to | :01:41. | :01:47. | |
spend a year to help patients eat, wash and get dressed. This is | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
condemned by the RCN as a stupid idea. | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
At the Government's conference in Liverpool, the RCN say it is should | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
concentrate on the dangerously low staff levels. | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
Our health correspondent is in Liverpool now. | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
In the wake of the Staffordshire hospital, nurses gathered at the | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
Royal College of Nursing here in Liverpool, they know that the | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
reputation of the profession is under scrutiny like never before, | :02:17. | :02:23. | |
but it is the Government's response to the France is | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
Enquiry that sparked the war of words between the ministers and the | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
nurses leaders. In particular, the proposal that nurses work for a | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
year as healthcare assistants before starting their training as | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
nurses. Providing dignified and | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
compassionate care is a fundamental part of nursing, but the Francis | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
Inquiry into the Staffordshire hospital scandal found a failure in | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
care. Ministers suggested that nurses in training spend a year | :02:51. | :02:57. | |
working as healthcare assistants to expose home to the realities of | :02:57. | :03:04. | |
life in the job, but this was rid cured here at the conference. | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
This proposals -- proposal is worrying us. Where is the money | :03:07. | :03:16. | |
going to come from? Who will pay for the 310,000 new HCAs? But the | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
Government hit back, arguing the trainee nurses must be prepared for | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
what the job brings. Having time on the front line doing | :03:24. | :03:30. | |
the basic jobs, washing, cleaning, that always used to be a part of | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
nursing training. I think we have to ensure it is again. | :03:33. | :03:39. | |
The other worry is over staffing levels, how it affects the safety | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
of patients. An RCN survey of more than 2,000 hospital and community | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
nurses reveals concerns about the staffing numbers. Three quarters | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
were not confident that the staffing levels were safe. Of these, | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
three out of four felt that the staffing levels became unsafe once | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
a month. One in ten said that the staff numbers were unsafe on every | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
shift. In some places the numbers of | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
nurses have stayed the same but the work has gone up. It does feel it | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
is getting dangerous. There is not enough staff on the wards. It is | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
happening all the time. There is a huge reliance on temporary staff | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
and agency staff. Not enough nurses available to care | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
for patients was a key failure identified at the public inquiry | :04:24. | :04:31. | |
into the staffed -- Stafford hospital scandal. | :04:31. | :04:38. | |
But the RCN wants standards to ensure that the wards are safe. Now | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
Government sources have said that the Royal College of Nursing has | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
failed to face up to the criticism of nursing in the Staffordshire | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
scandal and failed to tackle the brutal criticism of the nursing | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
profession, but nursing leaders say that the Government has fudged its | :04:54. | :05:01. | |
response to the Francis Inquiry into the Stafford scandal. | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
Now let's speak to our Political Correspondent Norman Smith joining | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
from us Westminster. Norman, nursing unions are often at | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
loggerheads with the changes to the NHS and staffing levels, how | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
significant is this row? It is significant. Here are the | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
Government and the RCN hurling pots and pans, crockery and sauce pans | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
at each other. We know that a basic rule of modern politics is that | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
governments don't like to get involved in bust-ups with the | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
nursing profession. Why? Obviously the voters have to choose between a | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
minister and a government department. In nurse in a hospital | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
ward will always sympathise with the nurse in the ward. So the | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
Government is pitching this to the Royal College of Nursing rather | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
than to the nursing profession itself. Saying it is the RCN which | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
has failed to respond to the criticism it faced after the Mid | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
Staffordshire scandal and the RCN saying that the ministers failed to | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
come to terms with the fact that this is a trade union but also a | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
college,.meant to be interested in improving standards of patient care. | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
What the ministers are doing is to try to appeal above the heads of | :06:07. | :06:14. | |
the union. Saying that older nurses, they had the hands on training and | :06:14. | :06:20. | |
are sympathetic, to say to trainee nurses that they may like time as a | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
healthcare assistant, it may give a better idea as to whether or not | :06:24. | :06:30. | |
you go to nursing, but the readiness of a Government ready to | :06:30. | :06:36. | |
engage in an argument, previously a no-go, underlines the determination | :06:36. | :06:42. | |
to press ahead with the changes. Surveys commissioned by the BBC, | :06:42. | :06:47. | |
suggest that few people in Romania and Bulgaria have made plans to | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
come to Britain when work restrictions are lifted at the end | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
of the year. The research by the Newsnight programme indicates that | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
those interested in coming to the UK would come if they had a firm | :06:58. | :07:04. | |
job offer. In Bulgaria many people say that | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
they want to work abroad, like these students. | :07:08. | :07:14. | |
Ever since I read the first Harry Potter book I kind of started to | :07:14. | :07:20. | |
love England. Mainly because of Top Gear! I'm not sure. It is a great | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
passion for me. I really like the presenters. | :07:24. | :07:29. | |
Over the last decade, few have gone, though. BBC Newsnight, commissioned | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
din depth, face-to-face surveys in Bulgaria and Romania to establish | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
how many are making plans to migrate here. At the end of the | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
year they can work freely across the EU, the survey suggests when it | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
comes to people of working age, 1% in Romania and 4 .2% in Bulgaria | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
have started to look for a job in the UK. Most are planning to move | :07:53. | :07:58. | |
to the UK, said that they would come only with a firm offer of work. | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
People who want to live here have already left, gone somewhere, come | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
back, gone sunshine again and come back. Going back to the survey, 67% | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
of people want a firm job offer. Last month, David Cameron sent a | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
signal to the people of the two countries. | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
By the end of the year, before the controls on Bulgarians and | :08:19. | :08:24. | |
Romanians are lifted we eare to strengthen the test to determine | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
which migrants access benefits. The young Romanian professionals | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
said that they would not move for benefits but got the point. | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
I got the message. I think that all Romanians who are aware of the | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
message got it. But I think that we have to wait | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
and see. We commissioned this research | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
before David Cameron made his speech about benefits, but we asked | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
this question: The UK Government may consider restrilgting the state | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
benefits that Romanians and Bulgarians claim. If they did so, | :08:57. | :09:03. | |
would it affect your decision? Most Romanians, interested in moving to | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
Britain, said it would. Surveys capture opinion at the moment in | :09:07. | :09:13. | |
time. Views may change. Well, there is a full report on | :09:13. | :09:20. | |
that story tonight on Newsnight on BBC Two at 10.30pm. | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
The Foreign Secretary, William Hague, says he is appalled by | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
reports of a massacre in Syria. More than 85 civilians, including | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
women and children, have reportedly been killed by government forces. | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
Waib is meeting other European ministers to discuss the priefs. | :09:36. | :09:42. | |
Let's talk to our World Affairs Correspondent with me. Emily, what | :09:42. | :09:48. | |
do we know as to what happened in Damascus? We are seeing pictures, | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
rather grizzly pockets taken by opposition groups of bodies being | :09:51. | :09:57. | |
lined up in body bags. This is a key areas, the area south-west of | :09:57. | :10:04. | |
Damascus. It reminds me of the massacre of a neighbouring area | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
lass year. The government is keen to secure the area. What we think | :10:08. | :10:15. | |
may have happened is that the army sounds the area, then sends in the | :10:15. | :10:24. | |
militia and from what we understand people are taken, especially if | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
they are Sunni. We heard William Hague saying he is appal bid the | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
reports. There is a meeting of European ministers today. What can | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
the international community do? It is difficult. At the moment there | :10:35. | :10:40. | |
is pressure building, that these sorts of atrocities, raising the | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
tone, as it were, William Hague's language is strong, talking about | :10:44. | :10:50. | |
the impunity of the regime. What we have seen in Luxembourg, well, the | :10:50. | :10:52. | |
German Foreign Minister, interestingly, talked about, | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
although the Germans have always been against this, he is talking | :10:55. | :11:01. | |
about the possibility of lifting an arms embargo and also lifting the | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
oil embargo so that they can export oil from the areas that they hold. | :11:05. | :11:10. | |
So it may be shifting slightly, but it is tinkering around the edges. | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
It will not stop the violence that is continuing. | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
Thank you very much. The former Cabinet Minister, Chris | :11:18. | :11:23. | |
Huhne may have to pay more than �100,000 in legal costs following | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
his conviction for perverting the course of justice. The prosecution | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
wants Vicky Pryce to pay more than �48,000 after wrongly claiming that | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
he forced her to take sweeting points for him ten years ago. They | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
have been sentenced to eight months in prison. | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
It is 20 years since the murder of the teenager, Stephen Lawrence, in | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
south London. His family and friends and the leaders of the | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
three main parties in Westminster are to attend a memorial service | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
this afternoon. David Cameron said that his murder sparked monumental | :11:56. | :12:02. | |
changes in British society. We look at what has altered in the two | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
decades since Stephen Lawrence was killed. For two decades, the face | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
of lairns Lawrence Lawrence looked from the newspapers and the | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
television screens. -- Stephen Lawrence. A reproach for | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
a society that failed to protect him and then failed to deliver him | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
justice for so long. The teenager died in south London. Stabbed to | :12:21. | :12:26. | |
death in an unprovoked attack by a gang of white men. The murder and | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
the butched police investigation prompted 20 years of soul-searching | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
about racial divides in Britain. Today, the Prime Minister claimed a | :12:34. | :12:39. | |
monumental change had taken place. It is a change, obviously, it has | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
taken place since that dreadful murder 20 years ago. A change in | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
policing but also as important, the change in culture. Not accepting | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
racism in our country. We have made huge steps forward on that front, | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
but there is always more that needs to be done. | :12:57. | :13:03. | |
But critics claim that 14 years after the MacPherson Report, that | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
described the Metropolitan Police as institutionally racist, not | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
enough has changed. They point to the tactic of stop and search. | :13:10. | :13:16. | |
According to a survey, in the year to 2000, nearly five out of every | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
100 black people were searched. In the past decade, the figure has | :13:20. | :13:27. | |
doubled. In the same period the figure for whites went up from just | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
1.5 to 1.6. What I have noticed is that the | :13:30. | :13:35. | |
role of Government is critical. At times when the Government has | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
shown commitment, we have made progress, but then when the | :13:39. | :13:44. | |
commitment wanes, the progress seems to taper off. I believe that | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
progress is tapering off at present. It was not until last January, that | :13:49. | :13:54. | |
two of Stephen's killers, Gary Dobson and David Norris were | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
finally jailed. Scotland Yard apologised it had taken so long. | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
The Met's commissioner is among the guests at today's service. Stephen | :14:02. | :14:06. | |
Lawrence' edeath was described as a murder that scarred the conscious | :14:06. | :14:11. | |
of the nation. As his memorial service is held today, it is clear | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
from the controversy, that the scars have not yet fully healed, | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
but for the friends and family, today is about remembering Stephen | :14:19. | :14:24. | |
himself, and all of his unfulfilled potential. | :14:24. | :14:29. | |
Stephen's mother said that her son's short life had value. Through | :14:29. | :14:34. | |
the Trust set up in his name, his life was giving life to other young | :14:34. | :14:37. | |
children. The police in the United States say that five people have | :14:37. | :14:43. | |
been killed in an incident south of seat. One of those kill -- Seattle | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
one was the suspect shot by the police. Off officials say that two | :14:48. | :14:53. | |
men were lying on the ground, one of whom reached for a gun when the | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
police arrived. There were two more bodies in the apartment. | :14:57. | :15:04. | |
A week after the bomb attacks that brought cannage to the Boston | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
marathon, interrogators are preparing to interview the | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
surviving suspect. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is in hospital | :15:11. | :15:15. | |
after being shot in the throat. His brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev decide in | :15:15. | :15:21. | |
the shoot-out with the police. The police thank say that the brothers | :15:21. | :15:28. | |
were probably planing more attacks. Now, the situation is that we know | :15:28. | :15:33. | |
that they have not been able to get any conversation from the remaining | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
suspect, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev as he has a wound to the throat. They | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
have not been able to question him in the way that they like. That has | :15:40. | :15:44. | |
led to speculation here. There is an information vacuum as nothing is | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
coming from the hospital so. Questions are being asked about | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
whether there was an intelligence failure on the part of the FBI. | :15:51. | :15:56. | |
That is as we know that two years ago, they investigated Tamerlan | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
Tsarnaev and found nothing and closed the file, but a Congressman | :16:00. | :16:08. | |
here, wrote a letter to the FBI asking if, why, if when on the | :16:08. | :16:18. | |

earthquake on Saturday. Damage to roads and isolated areas have | :17:55. | :18:00. | |
forced them to travel on foot. State media say 188 people were | :18:00. | :18:06. | |
killed in the quake. Many are missing. 11,500 people have been | :18:06. | :18:12. | |
injured. More than 1,300 aftershocks have been felt in the | :18:12. | :18:17. | |
area. We have this report. | :18:17. | :18:21. | |
The landslides have kept rescue teams back but also family members | :18:21. | :18:26. | |
too. As the roads are cleared people rush forward desperate for | :18:26. | :18:32. | |

to see. This was a Muslim gold shop in Meiktila, being looted by an | :20:47. | :20:53. | |
angry mob. An argument over a piece of jewellery. It is March 20th, the | :20:53. | :20:55. | |
running stheers are Burma's sectarian tensions are about to | :20:55. | :21:03. | |
burst into the open once more. The police watch, hopelessly | :21:04. | :21:06. | |
outnumbered. Muslim and Buddhist communities have lived here for | :21:06. | :21:11. | |
generations but spurred on by monks and anti-Islamic sentiment is | :21:11. | :21:19. | |
taking hold. The extraordinary thing about the | :21:19. | :21:24. | |
footage is that most was shot by the Burmese police. It shows how | :21:24. | :21:28. | |
the violence unfolded and how the police completely failed to protect | :21:28. | :21:34. | |
Muslim communities. That afternoon, a monk was killed | :21:34. | :21:40. | |
in a revenge attack. Buddhist and Muslim gangs roamed the streets. | :21:40. | :21:45. | |
In this shot, a man, almost certainly a Muslim, has been set on | :21:45. | :21:55. | |
:21:55. | :22:06. | ||
fire. Watching but not helping him, The first day may have taken | :22:06. | :22:11. | |
authorities by surprise. This is the morning of the second. Riot | :22:11. | :22:16. | |
police have been deployed. Still they do nothing. A crowd watches | :22:16. | :22:26. | |
:22:26. | :22:28. | ||
from the hillside as people flee Then, a young Muslim man, possibly | :22:28. | :22:34. | |
only a boy, is forced into the open. He is beaten by several men and | :22:34. | :22:39. | |
then a monk before being hacked at buyer sought on the ground. Police | :22:39. | :22:46. | |
are escorting women and children away from their burning homes. In | :22:46. | :22:52. | |
all, 43 died and thousands of Muslims were displaced. This is a | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
country where Buddhists dominate every aspect of life. Much is | :22:55. | :22:59. | |
changing for the better but building a future where everyone | :22:59. | :23:07. | |
feels they belong could well be Burma's latest test. One of | :23:07. | :23:12. | |
Britain's first jet fighters, and meatier, is moving to a new home | :23:12. | :23:19. | |
today, where it will take pride of place. It was withdrawn from | :23:19. | :23:22. | |
service in the 60s. Our correspondent is in Gloucestershire | :23:23. | :23:32. | |
for us now. It made history as the Allies first jet engine plane | :23:32. | :23:35. | |
during the war. This has been on the ground for the last three | :23:35. | :23:40. | |
decades. In the next hour, it will be back in the skies again in a | :23:40. | :23:46. | |
different way from what it used to fly. They have attached these are | :23:47. | :23:52. | |
huge chains, which will be lifted into the air by a helicopter. It | :23:52. | :23:58. | |
will be carried two miles over to a museum, where it will go on display. | :23:58. | :24:08. | |
:24:08. | :24:09. | ||
It has been bought by this man. Why did you want it? It is a piece of | :24:09. | :24:13. | |
Gloucestershire aviation history. In one tip back here where it is | :24:13. | :24:23. | |
:24:23. | :24:29. | ||
back home, where it belongs. -- we wanted it. If there is a risk to | :24:29. | :24:35. | |
the helicopter, it will be dropped. All the things are the right | :24:35. | :24:42. | |
dimensions. It is supposed to fly it at eight by a degree altitude. | :24:42. | :24:45. | |
If that remains the same, everything will be all right for | :24:45. | :24:55. | |
the touchline. Only a five-minute journey. We are all crossing our | :24:55. | :25:00. | |
fingers. Luis Suarez has been fined by Liverpool Football Club for | :25:00. | :25:07. | |
biting Branislav Ivanovic during the 2-2 draw. He has asked for the | :25:07. | :25:14. | |
money to go to be Hillsborough charity. Our sports correspondent | :25:14. | :25:20. | |
reports. It was a moment which left football open-mouthed as Luis | :25:20. | :25:25. | |
Suarez sank his teeth into the arm of Branislav Ivanovic. The impact | :25:25. | :25:30. | |
was inevitable. Today he apologised once again and was fined by his | :25:30. | :25:37. | |
club. Liverpool insist he does have a future at Anfield. We have taken | :25:37. | :25:41. | |
action to fine him for his actions. Brendan has spoken to him and so | :25:41. | :25:50. | |
have I. Brendan will be working with him further on his discipline. | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
Certainly, when you speak to him, you can see how sorry he is about | :25:54. | :26:00. | |
it. He has shown quite a lot of contrition. Remarkably, he has done | :26:00. | :26:06. | |
this before. He bit an opponent at his previous club, Ajax. He has had | :26:06. | :26:12. | |
controversy at Liverpool, and eight-match ban for racially | :26:12. | :26:16. | |
abusing Patrice Evra. He will be offered anger management | :26:16. | :26:26. | |
:26:26. | :26:26. | ||
counselling. I hope the club the breeze -- agrees about the anger | :26:26. | :26:31. | |
management plans. They are expected to be role models were gangsters. | :26:31. | :26:38. | |
This incident is something you would not expect. -- for youngsters. | :26:38. | :26:44. | |
He is the star player for Liverpool, scoring once again yesterday. Fans | :26:44. | :26:51. | |
are divided over his conduct. Absolutely disgusting. Football is | :26:51. | :26:56. | |
driven by money, greed, morality and actions on the field do not | :26:56. | :27:02. | |
come into it. There is no mark on the man's arms. It was a playful | :27:02. | :27:09. | |
bite. The matter is far from over. He may yet face a lengthy ban in | :27:09. | :27:17. | |
the most extraordinary chapter of his footballing career. Liverpool | :27:17. | :27:23. | |
are saying it has no bearing on his future but that might not be it. | :27:23. | :27:28. | |
suppose there was one bit of good news for Luis Suarez. Merseyside | :27:28. | :27:33. | |
Police said they are not taking any action against him. That is because | :27:33. | :27:37. | |
Branislav Ivanovic did not report any physical injury. He said he did | :27:37. | :27:42. | |
not want to take the matter any further. He could still face | :27:42. | :27:48. | |
potentially a hefty punishment from the F A. The referee did not spot | :27:48. | :27:55. | |
the incident at the time. The referee's report is being reviewed. | :27:55. | :27:59. | |
The standard punishment for violent conduct is a three-match ban. | :27:59. | :28:04. | |
Because of the nature of this, there will be pressure to impose a | :28:04. | :28:08. | |
much stricter punishment. When he bit an opponent in the Dutch league | :28:08. | :28:14. | |
a few years ago, he got a seven- match ban. There is a feeling that | :28:14. | :28:17. | |
although British football has seen some unpleasant challenges over the | :28:17. | :28:23. | |
years, in many ways this is a new low. As for Liverpool - the club | :28:23. | :28:27. | |
which is a global brand which has sponsors around the world - this | :28:27. | :28:31. | |
negative publicity about the star player is frankly the last thing | :28:31. | :28:41. | |
:28:41. | :28:45. | ||
they need. Now for a look at the Sage was out at Derwentwater, | :28:45. | :28:50. | |
proving there has been a little bit of spring around. We will see some | :28:50. | :28:56. | |
spring warmth around. Then things will turn colder from the north. | :28:56. | :29:00. | |
This ribbon of cloud in the Atlantic will be the dividing line | :29:00. | :29:05. | |
between the cooler north and the warmer south. Ahead of that cloud, | :29:06. | :29:12. | |
a raft of cloud already across a good part of the British Isles. | :29:12. | :29:17. | |
They could beat rain in northern and western areas. -- there could | :29:17. | :29:23. | |
be rain. If you have got this combination, it really is quite | :29:23. | :29:32. | |
windy across the North, it is quite widespread across these western | :29:32. | :29:36. | |
areas. Across East Midlands, East Anglia and the South East, away | :29:36. | :29:41. | |
from the coast, temperatures will be in the mid- teens. The cloud is | :29:41. | :29:49. | |
sitting very low in the atmosphere. With time, I suspect some of that | :29:49. | :29:54. | |
rain will quit the scene during the course of the night. There are some | :29:54. | :30:03. | |
breaks in the Western part of Ireland. Clear skies for some | :30:03. | :30:10. | |
overnight. In London, or we may not dip below double figures. Off and | :30:10. | :30:15. | |
running into Tuesday. The clear skies translating into some | :30:15. | :30:20. | |
sunshine for Scotland's and some parts of eastern England. It is the | :30:20. | :30:26. | |
sort of day you will get out and get on with things for the most | :30:26. | :30:33. | |
part. On the western slopes and Hills, you will get some sunshine. | :30:33. | :30:40. | |
Late in the day, but cloud begins in Northern Ireland. Remember, it | :30:40. | :30:46. | |
is not just about cloud and rain, it is the division between cooler | :30:46. | :30:52. | |
and fresher weather in the north and, further south, we could see 20 | :30:52. | :30:56. | |
degrees also quite widely. Quite a contrast. The rain is petering out | :30:56. | :31:01. | |
in the north. The bit of brightness but the South. We could be looking | :31:01. | :31:10. | |
at 20. The best of the weather in the south. Let's bring you a | :31:10. | :31:15. |
