:01:28. > :01:32.Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at One. The police watchdog

:01:33. > :01:34.says the way Police Federation officers dealt with the former

:01:35. > :01:36.Cabinet minister Andrew Mitchell raises issues of "honesty and

:01:37. > :01:42.integrity and/or discreditable conduct." Mr Mitchell resigned after

:01:43. > :01:45.allegations that he had sworn at police officers on the gates of

:01:46. > :01:50.Downing Street and called them "plebs", something he has always

:01:51. > :01:52.fiercely denied. Now the IPCC says it has found evidence that three

:01:53. > :01:57.police officers gave a misleading account of a meeting they'd had with

:01:58. > :02:04.Mr Mitchell after the event. Our political correspondent Robin Brandt

:02:05. > :02:09.is at Westminster. Almost exactly a year ago Andrew

:02:10. > :02:12.Mitchell, a senior Conservative politician, was involved in a fight

:02:13. > :02:15.for his political career. There had been a bizarre incident at the gates

:02:16. > :02:20.of Downing Street and he stood accused of being the Tory

:02:21. > :02:22.politician, he used offensive language against the police 's job

:02:23. > :02:26.it is to guard him and his colleagues every day of the week. In

:02:27. > :02:30.the weeks after that there was also a separate meeting with police

:02:31. > :02:34.representatives, and the question at the time was who do you trust, the

:02:35. > :02:41.politician or the police? Today we have come close to something like a

:02:42. > :02:45.verdict, . -- verdict on that. It was a September evening last year,

:02:46. > :02:48.he was riding his bike out of Downing Street, there was a

:02:49. > :02:51.confrontation with armed officers, they insisted he gets off his bike

:02:52. > :03:00.and use a side gate, it lasted seconds. The next day it was lashed

:03:01. > :03:03.across -- splashed across the tabloids. In the weeks after the row

:03:04. > :03:07.he met with police Federation representatives in his

:03:08. > :03:12.constituency. They were already angry about government budget cuts.

:03:13. > :03:15.They claimed during the sit down Andrew Mitchell refused to explain

:03:16. > :03:20.what he said in the Downing Street confrontation. In fact, transcripts

:03:21. > :03:24.from the sick were recording showed he did explain his version of

:03:25. > :03:28.events. The police Federation set out to bring down the government

:03:29. > :03:32.minister and were dishonest in the way they did it. The initial

:03:33. > :03:36.investigation found there was no deliberate intention to like. The IP

:03:37. > :03:42.CC has rejected that and says there is a case the men gave a false

:03:43. > :03:45.account of the meeting to discredit the politician and add to the

:03:46. > :03:51.pressure on him to resign. In the last hour he has reacted to

:03:52. > :03:55.this, he is not being triumphalist but this is a victory for him. That

:03:56. > :03:58.is plain. He said it is a matter of deep concern the police forces who

:03:59. > :04:03.employ these officers have concluded their conduct did not bring the

:04:04. > :04:06.police service into disrepute. He believes it is a decision that will

:04:07. > :04:12.undermine confidence in the ability of the police to investigate this

:04:13. > :04:16.conduct. Clearly for him he believes what is at stake here is the

:04:17. > :04:18.reputation of not just the police force involved but the police force

:04:19. > :04:22.as a whole. What happens next?

:04:23. > :04:26.Andrew Mitchell has the option of pursuing another complaint but that

:04:27. > :04:30.is unlikely. What is of more significance is the ongoing

:04:31. > :04:32.investigation and the decision of the Crown Prosecution Service into

:04:33. > :04:36.what went on and the gates of Downing Street in September last

:04:37. > :04:44.year. 97 police officers are being questioned, some civilian workers as

:04:45. > :04:47.well. The expectation is there may be a decision soon on claims some of

:04:48. > :04:53.those officers conspired to fit up Andrew Mitchell in that infamous

:04:54. > :04:57.incident and what is at stake there is even more serious, the reputation

:04:58. > :05:02.of the Metropolitan police and of Andrew Mitchell, this politician,

:05:03. > :05:06.who harbours desires to return to front line politics.

:05:07. > :05:10.Hidden cameras could form part of a new inspection regime for care homes

:05:11. > :05:13.in England from next year. The new chief inspector for adult social

:05:14. > :05:15.care, Andrea Sutcliffe, says she wants to explore the role such

:05:16. > :05:18.techniques could play in uncovering abuse and neglect. But civil

:05:19. > :05:24.liberties campaigners have expressed concern at the plans. Our social

:05:25. > :05:31.affairs correspondent Michael Buchanan reports.

:05:32. > :05:40.No one is there, they forgot me. Me all your's -- Muriel's family

:05:41. > :05:46.installed CCTV cameras for her safety but ended up recording

:05:47. > :05:49.neglect. What they saw shocked her family who subsequently changed her

:05:50. > :05:55.carers. They fully support the use of cameras. It is a fantastic idea,

:05:56. > :06:00.it will highlight poor care and neglect, but also it will address

:06:01. > :06:05.what needs to be done in a sector and how we can improve it. Cameras

:06:06. > :06:09.may only be one element in a much tougher inspection regime. From next

:06:10. > :06:16.year a new weighting system -- rating system will great care

:06:17. > :06:18.homes. New expert inspectors will be employed who know what good care

:06:19. > :06:24.looks like, to work alongside members of the public who have

:06:25. > :06:27.experienced the system. Quality is the responsibility of the

:06:28. > :06:31.provider of the service. The regulator cannot be there all the

:06:32. > :06:36.time, what we can do though is inspire people to actually ensure

:06:37. > :06:41.the services they are providing our safe, responsive, caring, effective

:06:42. > :06:45.and will lead. Winterbourne View, the care home

:06:46. > :06:50.that jolted the nation 's conscious, where hidden cameras will

:06:51. > :06:55.grizzle -- were crucial to exposing abuse. These shocking scenes may not

:06:56. > :06:59.have been exposed had it not been for secret filming showing not just

:07:00. > :07:05.poor care but leading to prosecutions. The case for cameras

:07:06. > :07:10.is clear, however they are no substitute for a well-run care home.

:07:11. > :07:13.Steve's son was abused in Winterbourne View but he is not

:07:14. > :07:16.convinced installing cameras is the answer to bad careful stop so they

:07:17. > :07:22.get a phone call, there is a problem. They say we will put a

:07:23. > :07:27.camera in there. By the time they get the camera in there, film

:07:28. > :07:30.things, there could be more abuse. The Care Quality Commission says

:07:31. > :07:36.installing any cameras can only be done with the privacy and dignity of

:07:37. > :07:39.service users protected. The government's been accused of

:07:40. > :07:42.doing a U-turn on its promise to prevent elderly people in England

:07:43. > :07:48.being forced to sell their homes to pay for care costs. Labour says

:07:49. > :07:52.under the plans only people with savings of less than ?23,000 would

:07:53. > :07:59.be able to put off payment for their care until after they've died. But

:08:00. > :08:02.the care minister, Norman Lamb, insists nobody will be forced to

:08:03. > :08:04.sell their home to pay for care while they're alive. Our political

:08:05. > :08:08.correspondent Ross Hawkins reports. You work hard, pay off the mortgage,

:08:09. > :08:11.and then you are forced to sell your home to cover the cost of care.

:08:12. > :08:17.Minister said that was desperately unfair, so they are changing the

:08:18. > :08:20.system. Under their proposals you will be able to delay the sale of

:08:21. > :08:25.your home until after you have died so the cost of your care can be paid

:08:26. > :08:29.back later. But few realise that would happen only if your assets

:08:30. > :08:35.apart from your home were worth less than ?23,000. This is completely

:08:36. > :08:38.emasculated the government 's deferred payment scheme, it is no

:08:39. > :08:41.longer true people will not have to sell their homes to pay for care

:08:42. > :08:44.which was the government 's deferred payment scheme, it is no longer true

:08:45. > :08:46.people will not have to sell their homes to pay for care which was the

:08:47. > :08:49.governments claim because unless you are prepared to get by with just,

:08:50. > :08:53.not enough to allow for little luxuries, unless you are prepared to

:08:54. > :08:56.do that you are not eligible. The government says nobody will be

:08:57. > :09:03.forced to sell the home while they are alive. The decision is still

:09:04. > :09:10.have to be made about who should get to delay paying for the cost of

:09:11. > :09:14.care. If they have got ?1 million of assets, should they be expected to

:09:15. > :09:18.use those assets before they get to the point of having to sell their

:09:19. > :09:24.home? That is what we are consulting on. In Scotland personal care is

:09:25. > :09:30.free for over 65 C needed, in Wales are working on a new system, and in

:09:31. > :09:33.England, the cost of elderly care, although not accommodation, will be

:09:34. > :09:40.capped at ?72,000. Some in this debate think the chances are not

:09:41. > :09:43.everybody has read the small rent. -- small print. This is about

:09:44. > :09:49.growing up conversations, not about 20 pool will overall winning votes.

:09:50. > :09:53.It was that problem of people who had saved all their lives only to be

:09:54. > :09:57.stripped of their assets in their old age that has caused so much

:09:58. > :10:02.upset and politicians here have been so keen to address. Ministers say

:10:03. > :10:05.they haven't finalised their plans, but they know they will have to bear

:10:06. > :10:09.is what is fair and what the taxpayer can afford.

:10:10. > :10:12.Small investors who successfully applied for Royal Mail shares are

:10:13. > :10:23.sitting on a paper profit of almost ?360 after the shares rose sharply

:10:24. > :10:27.as full trading got underway. They went as high as 400 90p. Today is

:10:28. > :10:30.the first day that people who bought shares through the government's

:10:31. > :10:32.website have been able to trade. The Union which represents postal

:10:33. > :10:44.workers, is due to announce the result of a strike ballot tomorrow.

:10:45. > :10:46.At 8am formal trading in the shares got underway. For decades

:10:47. > :10:56.governments have tried to privatise this business, little wonder its

:10:57. > :10:59.boss looks so relieved. For most of the six to 90,000 small investors it

:11:00. > :11:03.is the first time they have been able to sell their shares, and in

:11:04. > :11:10.city trading rooms business was brisk. I have never seen this amount

:11:11. > :11:13.of excitement generated. Anybody who decides to sell will take away a

:11:14. > :11:16.chunk of Watford but there are those who could hang onto it in light of

:11:17. > :11:22.the fact we have got some good dividend yield due next year.

:11:23. > :11:28.So we applied for ?5,000 worth of shares and she only received ?750

:11:29. > :11:33.worth. But with the shares soaring she stands to make an instant profit

:11:34. > :11:40.of more than ?300. I think I probably will sell them today, a 40%

:11:41. > :11:45.increase on my original investment is a great return. I am not a big

:11:46. > :11:51.risk taker, I have never dabbled in shares before so I will sell today

:11:52. > :11:55.and make 40% profit. Was the business sold off to cheaply? Not

:11:56. > :11:59.according to its boss who was brought in to turn it around for

:12:00. > :12:06.stop. We have two look through the next

:12:07. > :12:11.six or nine months to see we have made a lot of progress, very proud,

:12:12. > :12:20.the proudest moment of my career. But we still have a lot of work to

:12:21. > :12:28.do. The postal union opposed the sell-off it is balloting its members

:12:29. > :12:33.in a dispute over a long-term deal in the post-privatisation world.

:12:34. > :12:40.When we announce that ballot result tomorrow the game changes massively.

:12:41. > :12:44.That may have been a battle, but the result war and a real issue was

:12:45. > :12:48.always going to be how we defend your terms and conditions. The

:12:49. > :12:51.postal union is due to announce the result of the strike ballot

:12:52. > :12:55.tomorrow, it is confident it will receive an overwhelming vote in

:12:56. > :12:58.favour of industrial action. Though in past disputes it has moved

:12:59. > :13:02.quickly to announce a national 24-hour strike, this huge business

:13:03. > :13:07.could be at a standstill within weeks.

:13:08. > :13:12.What impact that will have on the stock price, nobody yet knows, but

:13:13. > :13:15.hundreds of thousands of Royal Mail shareholders could be in for a bumpy

:13:16. > :13:18.ride. The editor of the BBC's Crimewatch,

:13:19. > :13:20.Joe Mather, says they've had a "truly unprecedented" response to

:13:21. > :13:23.last night's appeal for information about the disappearance of Madeleine

:13:24. > :13:29.McCann in Portugal in 2007. Police have released e-fit images of men

:13:30. > :13:31.they want to trace. More than a thousand people have called or

:13:32. > :13:34.emailed the programme with information, several giving the same

:13:35. > :13:41.name of a man seen carrying a child towards the beach on the evening

:13:42. > :13:44.Madeleine disappeared. House prices in the UK have risen to

:13:45. > :13:48.a record high, according to the Office for National Statistics. It

:13:49. > :13:52.says the average price of a house or flat is now ?247,000 almost 4%

:13:53. > :13:56.higher than a year ago. Prices are now above the housing boom that

:13:57. > :14:07.ended in 2008. Our chief economics correspondent Hugh Pym reports.

:14:08. > :14:10.The focus on the housing market is intense right now, with speculation

:14:11. > :14:16.about whether a bubble is being inflated. The UK average price is

:14:17. > :14:19.back above the previous peak reached in 2008. Some are asking whether

:14:20. > :14:24.official schemes to boost lending might be pushing up prices. We are

:14:25. > :14:28.coming from a low base on house prices so there is no need to worry

:14:29. > :14:31.about the level right now but prices are picking up quickly across the

:14:32. > :14:36.country as the government and Bank of England schemes help people onto

:14:37. > :14:38.the housing ladder. The Prime Minister launched a new

:14:39. > :14:43.government initiative last week giving buyers who could afford only

:14:44. > :14:47.a fight cent deposit the chance to get a mortgage. Critics argue that

:14:48. > :14:52.will fuel an overheated market. The mortgage market was still below

:14:53. > :14:55.long-term levels and the scheme would allow young people the chance

:14:56. > :15:01.to get on the property ladder. The latest figures reveal wide

:15:02. > :15:07.variation. Prices in London were up 8.7% in the year up till August and

:15:08. > :15:13.the increased for Northern Ireland prices was just 1.1%. Over the same

:15:14. > :15:20.period prices in Wales were up 1%. But in Scotland there was actually a

:15:21. > :15:26.fall, prices were down nor .7%. -- 0.7% for stop first-time buyers are

:15:27. > :15:32.facing steep increases, prices they played were up nearly 5%. House

:15:33. > :15:35.prices have gone up in the south-west of England, here in

:15:36. > :15:40.Bristol we ask people how they felt about that. On a normal salary, I am

:15:41. > :15:45.not sure how I am expected to be able to get a mortgage for stop I am

:15:46. > :15:51.not sure how I'm expected to get on the ladder. It doesn't bother us, we

:15:52. > :15:58.are not planning to sell any time soon. As house prices accelerate in

:15:59. > :15:59.some areas cost of living increases remained relatively high with

:16:00. > :16:23.inflation at two point 7% -- 2.7%. The police marksman who shot and

:16:24. > :16:26.killed Mark Duggan in North London has told an inquest that he opened

:16:27. > :16:29.fire because he believed he was going to be shot. The officer, who

:16:30. > :16:32.gave evidence anonymously, said he had seen Mr Duggan carrying a gun.

:16:33. > :16:35.Mr Duggan's death in August 2011 was the catalyst for riots in

:16:36. > :16:39.Tottenham, which spread across the country. Tottenham on a summer

:16:40. > :16:45.evening two years ago. Mark Duggan is lying dead on the pavement -

:16:46. > :16:49.killed by a police bullet. Today, the inquest heard from a marksmen

:16:50. > :16:53.who fired the fatal shot. The brother of Mark Duggan was one of

:16:54. > :16:58.the family members who saw for the first time the officer who killed

:16:59. > :17:04.him. The family solicitor on the right, like other lawyers and the

:17:05. > :17:11.jury, could also see him. The officer, known as the 53, was part

:17:12. > :17:20.of a fire arms unit following Mark Duggan, who was in a minicab. The

:17:21. > :17:25.policeman described how they carried out what was called a heart

:17:26. > :17:35.stop on the minicab. He said this involved an officer in the first

:17:36. > :17:40.car to say, strike, strike, strike. He was convinced Mark Duggan was

:17:41. > :17:46.looking to escape. He told the jury it was like the freeze-frame moment.

:17:47. > :17:51.In my head, of the world had stopped because my focus turned to

:17:52. > :17:56.what he had in his hand. As he turned to face me, he had a hand

:17:57. > :18:03.gun in his right hand. He is moving the gun away from his body. I

:18:04. > :18:07.believed he was going to shoot me. It was then that he opened fire.

:18:08. > :18:11.The jacket of Mark Duggan shows how the bullet that killed him went

:18:12. > :18:17.through his chest and out through his back. The policeman said he had

:18:18. > :18:22.been involved in giving first aid to Mark Duggan. During his evidence,

:18:23. > :18:29.the word, Liar, was repeated from the public gallery. Our top story...

:18:30. > :18:32.The police watchdog has criticised three officers for their account of

:18:33. > :18:34.a meeting with the former Conservative Cabinet minister,

:18:35. > :18:38.Andrew Mitchell, at the height of the so-called pleb-gate row. The

:18:39. > :18:40.IPCC said the way the officers dealt with Mr Mitchell raised

:21:25. > :21:30.Burberry into new fast-growing markets like China. Perhaps one

:21:31. > :21:35.reason why Apple has poached her as head of its retail operations. She

:21:36. > :21:40.was one of the very few women at the helm of a major UK company. At

:21:41. > :21:45.Burberry, there will be some big and rather glamorous shoes to fill.

:21:46. > :21:48.Chinese banks are going to be allowed to set up their operations

:21:49. > :21:50.in Britain in the hope that London will become the main centre for

:21:51. > :21:53.China's financial business overseas. The Chancellor, George Osborne, has

:21:54. > :21:55.been outlining the ?8 billion pilot scheme, which will allow London

:21:56. > :21:58.investors to use Chinese currency to invest directly in Chinese

:21:59. > :22:06.shares and bonds, rather than having to trade via Hong Kong. And

:22:07. > :22:09.Chinese banks will be given the opportunity to set up wholesale

:22:10. > :22:13.branches in London, allow them to do business, but not to offer High

:22:14. > :22:19.Street services. We can now speak to our chief business correspondent,

:22:20. > :22:25.who is in Beijing. How have the Chinese taking to this idea? There

:22:26. > :22:30.is certainly a sense among the Chinese that the British expert in

:22:31. > :22:35.S. Something like two-thirds of all transactions of foreign currency

:22:36. > :22:41.happen in London. There is a sense of a good partnership that could be

:22:42. > :22:46.had. I should probably emphasise when I interviewed the Chancellor a

:22:47. > :22:52.few hours ago, these are still baby steps. There are quite a few steps

:22:53. > :22:57.before London can truly become a hub for trading. A few other things

:22:58. > :23:03.to consider - George Osborne says it will benefit all the UK but

:23:04. > :23:10.there is a sense it is very London centric and, also, it is unclear

:23:11. > :23:14.how the trading of the Chinese currency would ultimately mostly

:23:15. > :23:18.been in China or Hong Kong. The progress he has made with the

:23:19. > :23:22.Chinese certainly does put London in a more competitive position but

:23:23. > :23:28.it is not clear whether or not it will be a lasting one. Finally, he

:23:29. > :23:35.added, he thinks the Chinese are and be will be as important as the

:23:36. > :23:38.US dollar within our lifetimes. Iranian negotiators say there has

:23:39. > :23:41.been a positive start to talks with world powers on the country's

:23:42. > :23:44.nuclear programme. It is the first round of negotiations since Hassan

:23:45. > :23:47.Rouhani took office as President of Iran. The talks, involving the five

:23:48. > :23:52.permanent members of the UN Security Council, plus Germany, are

:23:53. > :23:54.due to last two days. There have been signs that relations between

:23:55. > :23:57.the White House and Iran have improved since Hassan Rouhani

:23:58. > :24:04.became president but US officials said no-one should expect a

:24:05. > :24:07.breakthrough overnight. One of Britain's last remaining World War

:24:08. > :24:11.One airfields has been saved thanks to an army of volunteers. During

:24:12. > :24:16.the war, Stow Maries near Chelmsford in Essex was a base for

:24:17. > :24:18.the fledgling Royal Flying Corps. It closed in 1919 and remained

:24:19. > :24:21.hidden and forgotten until 2008, when a group of enthusiasts

:24:22. > :24:28.rediscovered the airfield, and began a campaign to save it. Our

:24:29. > :24:41.correspondent is there. Look what they have done! These are

:24:42. > :24:46.the rooms remind young pilots would have - to their aircraft to take on

:24:47. > :24:49.the German Zeppelin's which were bombing London. If you were here

:24:50. > :24:55.three years ago, you would have been looking at this and other

:24:56. > :24:57.buildings which were derelict. The money announced today will enable

:24:58. > :25:10.volunteers to save the whole site. They were thought to be derelict

:25:11. > :25:14.farm buildings. On this Essex hilltop my nature had reclaimed

:25:15. > :25:23.reminders of the wartime years when young men coaxed fragile aircraft

:25:24. > :25:29.into combat. Their usefulness for storage of grain and machinery

:25:30. > :25:33.prevented this early snapshot being lost for ever. The days when the

:25:34. > :25:41.sound of a pianola echoed through the mess halls, the days when

:25:42. > :25:47.Captain Claude Whitley, barely 20, lead aircraft made of fabric and

:25:48. > :25:52.went into the bumbling German Zeppelin so on their missions over

:25:53. > :26:04.London. -- Zeppelins. Showing me round the old officers'

:26:05. > :26:09.mess, the man who has led the project. Much is spoken about land

:26:10. > :26:14.warfare and how terrible it was. We would agree. Not so much is known

:26:15. > :26:20.about the sacrifice of the radiators. It is our duty - if you

:26:21. > :26:24.like it is my duty - to keep that recorded both up opening the old

:26:25. > :26:35.grass runways to visitors is only the start. Aircraft and vehicles

:26:36. > :26:42.have been re- created. The dream is to go beyond Remembrance. To train

:26:43. > :26:50.apprentices in the skills which kept aircraft aloft and find ways

:26:51. > :26:54.of creating new links to a distant past. Look around me here and you

:26:55. > :26:58.can see the site is already coming back to life. The ?1.5 million from

:26:59. > :27:03.the National Heritage Memorial Fund could not come at a better time as

:27:04. > :27:10.it will look forward to next year's centenary commemorations of the

:27:11. > :27:15.First World War. A '70s TV classic is on its way back. The children's

:27:16. > :27:17.show, The Clangers, was first shown in 1969 but now it's being re-made

:27:18. > :27:31.for CBeebies. The animation was pretty basic. The

:27:32. > :27:38.sets had that home-made feel. The clangers were much loved by

:27:39. > :27:44.children of the 70s. And now they will get a new generation of fans

:27:45. > :27:56.with the CBeebies invention of the boil and aliens, and their

:27:57. > :28:04.distinctive whistling sounds. -- woollen. The son of the Creator

:28:05. > :28:08.will help to produce the new version. It is exactly the same.

:28:09. > :28:15.All the characters will be very much the same. We are not making it

:28:16. > :28:20.into some new-fangled sort of thing. It is very much in the sentiment of

:28:21. > :28:26.the programme. That'll be the same as it always was before. The new

:28:27. > :28:33.version is another sign of the mood of nostalgia hitting children's

:28:34. > :28:36.television. The Wombles are getting a revamp with the new computer-

:28:37. > :28:43.generated version due for broadcast in two years' time. Paddington Bear

:28:44. > :28:47.is hitting the big screen with Paddington the movie due for

:28:48. > :28:51.release next year. The BBC wants to build on the enduring magic of the

:28:52. > :28:57.original series. You should see venue, modern day programme in 2015.

:28:58. > :29:07.Time for a look at the weather. A better picture behind made.

:29:08. > :29:12.Mostly dry across the British Isles and some sunny spells to boot. Some

:29:13. > :29:17.of you have seen the sunshine which was their across Wales, the south-

:29:18. > :29:24.west and into Northern Ireland. If you are stuck under the cloud, it

:29:25. > :29:32.is as cool as yesterday. Some parts of the Midlands only 9, 10 degrees.

:29:33. > :29:35.It is a similar line up to yesterday across Scotland with just

:29:36. > :29:42.enough clout across the East for there to be the odd rogue shower. -

:29:43. > :29:46.- cloud. Come further south, enough cloud across the eastern Midlands

:29:47. > :29:53.were there to be one or two mainly light showers. As we break away

:29:54. > :29:59.towards the West, a fine prospect. Acres of sunshine going on across

:30:00. > :30:03.the good part of Wales and the south-west. Here we have a veil of

:30:04. > :30:09.cloud - the shape of things to come during the course of the night was

:30:10. > :30:17.that that would begin over time. -- the night. That will thicken over

:30:18. > :30:23.time. There could be a warning about the density of the fog. Bear

:30:24. > :30:31.that in mind first thing on Wednesday. That is not the

:30:32. > :30:38.conditions of the day eventually. South eastern parts of Northern

:30:39. > :30:44.Ireland could be seeing 20, 30 mm of rain Macro. Not a warm day. A

:30:45. > :30:50.different story further south. Temperatures will rise. We are

:30:51. > :30:58.importing mild air from a long way south. You see the flood of mild

:30:59. > :31:05.air in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. In Scotland, the breezes

:31:06. > :31:12.coming from a different direction. A different story further north.

:31:13. > :31:20.Here is the rub on Friday. Still a mild flow from the south and south-

:31:21. > :31:24.west. Another area of cloud and rain working its way from the

:31:25. > :31:29.south-west. Friday will turn out to be one of those days, despite the

:31:30. > :31:33.fact temperatures are just above the seasonal norm. Now a reminder

:31:34. > :31:36.of our top story... The police watchdog has criticised three

:31:37. > :31:37.officers for their account of a meeting with the former

:31:38. > :31:40.Conservative Cabinet minister, Andrew Mitchell, at the height of

:31:41. > :31:43.the so-called pleb-gate row. The IPCC said the way the officers

:31:44. > :31:46.dealt with Mr Mitchell raised questions about their honesty and

:31:47. > :31:48.integrity. That's all from us. Now on BBC
