The Prime Minister rules out an amnesty for crimes committed you | :00:10. | :00:14. | |
ring the Troubles in Northern Ireland. It comes after a call for | :00:15. | :00:18. | |

to be tried sparked an angry response. Life has to go on but we | :00:21. | :00:29. | |
never got closure. How can you have closure if you don't get justice? | :00:30. | :00:35. | |

Good afternoon and welcome to BBC News at One. The Attorney General | :01:42. | :01:48. | |
for Northern Ireland says there should be no more prosecutions | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
linked to deaths that took place during the Troubles before the Good | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
Friday Agreement in 1998. His comments sparked anger from | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
relatives. More than 3500 people were killed in the conflict in | :02:02. | :02:03. | |
Northern Ireland, but a short time ago the Prime Minister said the | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
government had no plans to legislate for an honest -- amnesty. Belfast is | :02:08. | :02:16. | |
a place that has opened up after years of tight security. But the | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
decades of violence can't be forgotten. Bombings and killings | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
were an all too common part of recent history. There are still | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
murders solved, killer is not held accountable. Now the Attorney | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
General for Northern Ireland has suggested that the time may have | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
come to end any prosecutions or investigations related to the worst | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
years of the Troubles. The time has come to think about putting airline | :02:42. | :02:49. | |
-- I set on the Good Friday Agreement. Across Northern Ireland, | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
there are families who feel they have never had justice. This | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
proposal would be anybody involved in killings before 1998 would be | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
immune from prosecution. That is difficult for the relatives of many | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
victims. He didn't have a chance to draw a gun or anything. It was all | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
in the back. He was left lying in the road to die. Nobody was there. | :03:14. | :03:23. | |
That memory comes to me often. Florence's son was a policeman, | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
murdered in 1980. She feels that you can't simply draw I. I know we have | :03:28. | :03:35. | |
to go on with life. We never got closure. How can you have closure if | :03:36. | :03:42. | |
you don't get justice? Dealing with the legacy of violence is always a | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
difficult discussion in Northern Ireland. It has been devoted -- | :03:46. | :03:52. | |
debated on the radio, and the American diplomat is trying to | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
broker an agreement between politicians about the past. | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
However, the Prime Minister has indicated this suggestion could be a | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
step too far. The government has no plans to legislate for an amnesty | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
for crimes that were committed during the Troubles. But there are | :04:08. | :04:14. | |
politicians concerned about -- as well as victims. This is a place | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
where the past casts a long shadow. Four people have died in a house | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
fire in Derbyshire, two adults and children killed by the blaze in | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
North Wingfield this morning. A third child is in hospital with only | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
minor injuries. Sian Lloyd is there at the scene. What can you tell us? | :04:33. | :04:40. | |
Fire crews work called just after 5am. Looking at the house, it is the | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
one behind me with the window that is open. There really isn't much | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
sign of fire damage at all on the outside. However, we have been told | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
that there is a great deal of smoke damage inside. Four people died | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
here, including two children. A third child is being treated in | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
hospital for minor injuries. The road in front of the houses usually | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
a very easy thoroughfare. It has been close ever since the incident. | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
Local diversions are in place while officers continue to investigate. I | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
have spoken to a few neighbours in the street this morning. None of | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
them knew the victims, although everybody in this community is | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
shocked and saddened what they have heard. We expect to hear more | :05:25. | :05:31. | |
details, to find out exactly what has happened here, and where the | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
current state of the investigation is, when a joint press conferences | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
held here at the scene this afternoon at 2pm by Derbyshire for | :05:40. | :05:47. | |
and also the police. -- Derbyshire. Plans to reorganise the Army could | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
be rejected this afternoon. The government faces a rebellion by some | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
conservatives over its reforms, which will mean 20,000 regular | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
troops are replaced with 30,000 river -- reservists by 2020. More | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
than 20 Tories have signed a plan to -- amendment to delay the plan. | :06:05. | :06:13. | |
Infantry reservists in training in Cyprus before being sent to fight in | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
Afghanistan. In 2010, the MoD was told it needed to reduce its budget | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
by 8%. They decided to cut regular Army manpower and increased the use | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
of reserves to save money. They are reforms that are again coming under | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
fire. This time it is from some 20 Conservative backbenchers, who | :06:33. | :06:34. | |
disagree with the government's plans. Let's make sure these Army | :06:35. | :06:42. | |
reserve plans are actually going to work. We have heard of reserve | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
recruitment targets being missed, TA numbers falling, and costs arising. | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
There are some here Julia and assumptions to make these work, | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
including a doubling of the mole is a charade. -- there are some massive | :06:58. | :07:04. | |
assumptions. In 2010, the regular army rated -- was at 102,000. | :07:05. | :07:14. | |
The plan to make redundant some 20,000 regular soldiers is already | :07:15. | :07:24. | |
well underway, all though it was unpopular with the regular army. | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
Recruiting for the reserves has been slow and very much behind schedule. | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
The Secretary of State for defence says it is too soon to be | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
pessimistic and those numbers will go up. Nests -- yes, there have been | :07:36. | :07:43. | |
problems. But we have a lot of initiatives underway. We are testing | :07:44. | :07:50. | |
what works best, making sure that we learn from best practice and roll it | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
out across the country. What the Army needs now is a proper breathing | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
space to implement this programme, and then, by all means, to be | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
scrutinised on the results. Quite what the Army of the future will | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
look like a still taking shape. In Parliament, the government has come | :08:09. | :08:10. | |
out fighting against any rebel ambush this afternoon. | :08:11. | :08:20. | |
Our political correspondent is in Westminster for us. What scale of | :08:21. | :08:26. | |
rebellion could we expect? That depends. Compromise is in the air. | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
The Defence Secretary is expected to announce an annual report on the | :08:33. | :08:35. | |
state of the reserves and how well recruitment is going. The hope of | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
Conservative technicians will be that it will persuade some Tory MPs | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
who may have voted with the rebel not to do so. The underlying reality | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
behind all this, though, is, as we have heard, the bulk of the cuts, | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
particularly in the Army, have been made. If there is one thing that | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
ministers are clear on it is that they are not about to turn back the | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
clock and try to recruit again those regular troops. There are plenty of | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
Conservative MPs around here who will not like the future shape or | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
size of the British Army, but they may have to learn to live with it. | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
You can watch the debate throughout the afternoon on the BBC News | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
Channel. David Cameron says alarm bells should have been wrong about | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
the appointment of the former chairman of the co-operative bank, | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
Paul Flowers, resign after the dog came in for oil in an alleged -- | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
after he became embroiled in an alleged drug scandal. Our chief | :09:33. | :09:39. | |
political correspondent is in Westminster. What kind of enquiry | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
could we expect? At one level, this will be an enquiry into yet another | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
banking failure with the Prime Minister concerned about | :09:51. | :09:52. | |
constituents who are bondholders and pensioners whose funds were | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
invested. But do not be fooled. This is not just a financial matter, it | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
is about rule, brutal party potted -- politics. It is equivalent to | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
David Cameron getting out I can opener, opening the ten -- tin of | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
the Co-op, and opening a can of worms. We know that Paul Flowers is | :10:14. | :10:22. | |
involved in a lot of scandals. But he has close ties to the Labour | :10:23. | :10:25. | |
Party. He was a Labour councillor for ten years. He was put on an | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
advisory board by Ed Miliband. He had a meeting with him in March. He | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
is a man who sanctioned large loans to the Labour Party. The clear hope | :10:36. | :10:42. | |
by David Cameron's team is not just hope for jobs by association but to | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
raise a question, that did the Labour Party turn a blind eye to | :10:48. | :10:50. | |
this man's character because he was so important to him -- then? Labour | :10:51. | :10:57. | |
say this is all a distraction. All week they have decided to fend off | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
the controversy. Today we saw David Cameron try to drag Ed Miliband | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
deeper and deeper into the mire with an enquiry which could go on for | :11:08. | :11:13. | |
months. Home buyers borrowed more in mortgages last month than in any | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
other month since October, 20 -- 2008. The Council of Mortgage | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
Lenders said that lending increased to ?17.6 billion in October and | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
petty 12.9 billion at the same point last year. The General Synod of the | :11:27. | :11:33. | |
Church of England has just voted in favour of new proposals to allow the | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
creation of women bishops. It comes off the safeguards were promised to | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
ensure that parishes which don't want a woman bishop aunt, against. A | :11:42. | :11:50. | |
final vote is expected next July. -- are not discriminated against. For a | :11:51. | :11:56. | |
deco or more, traditionalist Anglicans have resisted the | :11:57. | :11:58. | |
introduction of women bishops. -- for a decade. Today, one of the | :11:59. | :12:05. | |
leaders of that struggle agreed to accept the compromise on offer. In | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
the spirit of wanting to achieve agreement, I will vote for it. Even | :12:11. | :12:16. | |
if at the end of the day I am unable to join the majority who I expect to | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
prove this by the required majority is, even if I cannot join you, I | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
shall rejoice in the measure of agreement that we have been able to | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
reach. The traditionalist opposition in the Senate has been just strong | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
enough to block women bishops. -- the Synod. Under new proposals, | :12:36. | :12:44. | |
traditionalists who don't believe women should be priests, let alone | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
bishops, would be able to ask for a male alternative and appeal to an | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
independent arbitrator to brood on disputes. I high church opponent | :12:54. | :13:00. | |
held the -- at high church opponent praised the breakthrough. The battle | :13:01. | :13:07. | |
surely is over. Let's not get on with the mission for the wondrous | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
things he has done, not thank we all our God. But some evangelicals say | :13:13. | :13:18. | |
they would be forced to compromise their theological beliefs. I and my | :13:19. | :13:28. | |
church can only flourish once we denied our theological convictions. | :13:29. | :13:35. | |
Women make up a third of Anglican clergy. Now almost 20 years since | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
the first women priests, resistant to their becoming bishops is ebbing | :13:40. | :13:45. | |
away. -- resistance. By convention, the vote today was greeted silently. | :13:46. | :13:48. | |
But its applications are far reaching. A final vote is likely in | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
July to be followed by the first woman bishop sometime in 2015. Two | :13:54. | :14:01. | |
of the six Britons arrested in Russia during a protest against | :14:02. | :14:04. | |
drilling in the Arctic have been granted bail. Alexander Harris and | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
Kieron Bryan has spent more than two months in jail. They were among 28 | :14:10. | :14:12. | |
activists and two journalists who were arrested by Russian security | :14:13. | :14:19. | |
forces. Our correspondent is in St Petersburg, where the court hearings | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
are being held. One other Briton is also hoping to be granted bail. Is | :14:24. | :14:32. | |
that right? Two British activists have been granted bail. There have | :14:33. | :14:40. | |
been joyful scenes here amongst the Greenpeace activists. Many have come | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
here to support their colleagues who have been imprisoned for two | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
months. Alexander Harris made an impassioned plea for the judge to | :14:50. | :14:57. | |
grant her bail. -- Alexandra Harris. Selfie, in his argument to the | :14:58. | :15:03. | |
judge, said he was a journalist just doing his job. You would not arrest | :15:04. | :15:09. | |
journalists in a war zone covering the issue. Very happy smiles on | :15:10. | :15:17. | |
their faces at the moment. Thank you very much. | :15:18. | :15:23. | |
Social workers in England are warning that vulnerable children are | :15:24. | :15:29. | |
more at risk of serious harm because of an unprecedented demand on child | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
protection services since the death of Baby Peter. The survey suggests | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
that the level of need required for children to access support has | :15:39. | :15:43. | |
increased. Child abuse can happen anywhere, and | :15:44. | :15:50. | |
in recent years people are more willing to report it. But providing | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
the help that every child needs is becoming harder as pressure on child | :15:55. | :16:00. | |
protection officials increases. In the five years since Baby P's | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
suffering became apparent, there has been an increase in children | :16:06. | :16:12. | |
suffering in care. 75% of social workers delay cannot | :16:13. | :16:18. | |
protect vulnerable children. 78% see an increase in thresholds for | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
neglected children, meaning it is harder for those youngsters to get | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
help. The reasons, 77% blame increased demands, while 71% Social | :16:28. | :16:36. | |
Workers have never been under more pressure. The sheer volume of | :16:37. | :16:43. | |
referrals from other professionals have grown year-on-year for the last | :16:44. | :16:49. | |
four years. There are over half a million feral the year which require | :16:50. | :16:57. | |
a social worker's assessment. -- referrals. | :16:58. | :17:06. | |
One social worker said, we were told if you have a 14-16 -year-old then | :17:07. | :17:12. | |
they cannot have child protection plans any more. In a school in east | :17:13. | :17:19. | |
London, staff regularly alert social workers to child protection issues. | :17:20. | :17:24. | |
My colleagues and I have been in meetings where it has been said, it | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
is a bit too late when they are 15 to put them on a bit too late when | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
they are 15 to put their money child protection plan. They would almost | :17:34. | :17:36. | |
always be automatically turned down because of their age. Ministers | :17:37. | :17:42. | |
acknowledge that social workers face huge challenges, but they say the | :17:43. | :17:45. | |
survey does not present an accurate picture. More children are being | :17:46. | :17:53. | |
cared for by local authorities. Ensuring children are not left to | :17:54. | :17:56. | |
cope alone is getting increasingly harder. | :17:57. | :18:01. | |
Six cyclists have been killed on the streets of London in the past | :18:02. | :18:05. | |
fortnight, but Boris Johnson says cycling in the cat -- in the capital | :18:06. | :18:11. | |
is safer now. He said he bitterly regretted the recent deaths but | :18:12. | :18:15. | |
would still encourage more cycling in London. He did say he would look | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
at restriction on lorries at busy times. | :18:20. | :18:24. | |
It has been a grim couple of weeks for London cyclists. The spate of | :18:25. | :18:28. | |
fatalities has raised questions about whether riding a bike has | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
become more dangerous, questions which became more heated for | :18:33. | :18:39. | |
London's mayor of this morning. The mayor agreed that the injury rate | :18:40. | :18:43. | |
remains stubbornly high for cyclists, but he insisted the chance | :18:44. | :18:46. | |
of being killed on a bike is lower than ever. Whichever way you cut | :18:47. | :18:51. | |
it, you're looking at a reduction in the number of fatalities over | :18:52. | :18:58. | |
identical periods of time. You are also looking at a considerable | :18:59. | :18:59. | |
increase in the volume of cycling. HGVs and bikes are a dangerous mix. | :19:00. | :19:14. | |
Campaigners say it is time to regulate their access to city roads. | :19:15. | :19:20. | |
Paris is probably the best case and point, there are no articulated | :19:21. | :19:26. | |
lorries in the centre of Paris and they restricted to keep the large | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
volume of commuters segregated. It all works, the city carries on and | :19:32. | :19:37. | |
is economically viable. Boris Johnson promised to consider new | :19:38. | :19:40. | |
restrictions, but warned they could simply increase problems. This is a | :19:41. | :19:49. | |
debate being monitored by city planners across Britain. Our top | :19:50. | :19:54. | |

crimes committed during the Troubles in Northern Ireland. | :19:57. | :20:03. | |

Today, Hull has been named as the UK's city of culture. What will it | :20:54. | :21:07. | |
mean for the city? Ten years ago, a bestselling books declared Hull to | :21:08. | :21:10. | |
be the worst place in Britain to live. Today it has been named the | :21:11. | :21:15. | |
city of culture, so what has changed? What culture will Hull be | :21:16. | :21:21. | |
able to offer in 2017? I am delighted to announce the UK city of | :21:22. | :21:28. | |
culture 2017 is Hull. A shock result, an ecstatic reaction. Those | :21:29. | :21:34. | |
who backed Hull's bid believed being city of culture will change | :21:35. | :21:37. | |
people's perceptions about the place. Hull has been a city of | :21:38. | :21:43. | |
culture for many, many years. This is a vindication of all the work | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
which has been going on over time. Why was Hull picked ahead of | :21:49. | :21:55. | |
Dundee, Leicester and Swansea Bay? As a city it is hungry, desperate to | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
come out of a negative perception and find its place in the world. | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
Hull were not the favourites to win, but everyone here is ecstatic. | :22:05. | :22:13. | |
This promotional film helped Hull win the title. Now the council has | :22:14. | :22:20. | |
to find ?50 million to spend on a year-long programme which will | :22:21. | :22:24. | |
include at least one cultural event everyday. Absolutely fantastic. Why | :22:25. | :22:32. | |
is it so good? It is going to bring work into the city. There is a lot | :22:33. | :22:38. | |
going on in Hull, it gets a bad name but it is a good city. There are a | :22:39. | :22:44. | |
lot of cultural aspects to Hull, you just have to go and find them. | :22:45. | :22:49. | |
Maureen Lipman believes it is a huge boost for the city of her birth. I | :22:50. | :22:55. | |
am happy they have got a treat for once, they have had enough bad | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
press. People who have lived here for any period of time, we all have | :23:00. | :23:10. | |
extremely deep impressions of whole. -- Hull. One of Hull's problems have | :23:11. | :23:20. | |
been it is tucked away. In 2017, the hope is many will make it their | :23:21. | :23:25. | |
destination. The most famous band from Hull were the Housemartins. In | :23:26. | :23:33. | |
2017, Hull is hoping for a happy year. Britain's biggest aircraft | :23:34. | :23:40. | |
carrier HMS Illustrious is on its way to the Philippines to help | :23:41. | :23:44. | |
survivors of Typhoon Haiyan. On-board is equipment that can turn | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
sea water into drinking water, dumb thing that is in very short supply | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
in the worst hit areas. -- something. That is the HMS | :23:55. | :24:04. | |
Illustrious behind me. It arrived here in Singapore today and is in | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
the process of being loaded up with 500 tonnes of supplies. This is some | :24:10. | :24:18. | |
of it. 100 metric tonnes of rice. Also a lot of non-food items. | :24:19. | :24:23. | |
Generators, tools for people to use to rebuild their homes. This is the | :24:24. | :24:29. | |
commanding officer of the ship. How long will it take to get the | :24:30. | :24:32. | |
supplies from here to the Philippines? It will take me several | :24:33. | :24:40. | |
days to load this onto the ship and get it over to the Philippines as | :24:41. | :24:45. | |
quickly as I can. What is it about this particular ship that equips the | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
world to deal with the Typhoon Haiyan aftermath? I bring seven | :24:50. | :24:56. | |
helicopters from across the UK defence, these can get out into | :24:57. | :25:00. | |
remote communities, look out onto the ground and prioritise. I have | :25:01. | :25:07. | |
also got 1000 sailors and marines, young and fit and ready to go and | :25:08. | :25:11. | |
help the people of the Philippines on the ground. From what you were | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
being told, there are still communities which are not being | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
accessed by age? And you think the helicopters can help get that aid | :25:22. | :25:27. | |
through quicker? Absolutely. It is a reflection of the flexibility of my | :25:28. | :25:31. | |
ship that we can get around the Philippines with the ship and get | :25:32. | :25:38. | |
those helicopters out there. Thank you very much. This aids which will | :25:39. | :25:44. | |
be loaded on board the ship through the night and into tomorrow is part | :25:45. | :25:51. | |
of the 50 million which the British government has pledged directly in | :25:52. | :25:57. | |
response to Typhoon Haiyan. Thank you very much. | :25:58. | :26:06. | |
A British biochemist who twice won the Nobel Prize in chemistry has | :26:07. | :26:10. | |
died. He first won the Nobel Prize in 1958 for his work determining the | :26:11. | :26:15. | |
sequence of amino acids in an shilling. In 1980 he won a second | :26:16. | :26:22. | |
Nobel prize which related to the development of a technique to | :26:23. | :26:27. | |
sequence human DNA. The first Ashes test starts at | :26:28. | :26:31. | |
midnight to night. Alastair Cook says his squad have nothing to fear | :26:32. | :26:36. | |
against Australia, despite the fact the Australians have not lost to | :26:37. | :26:45. | |
England in that stadium 1966. Summer days in Brisbane in | :26:46. | :26:51. | |
Australia's only city centre beach. A man-made attractions for | :26:52. | :26:57. | |
relaxation. But in this city, there are 11 Australians expected to work | :26:58. | :27:01. | |
harder than ever. They have been offering autographs and photographs | :27:02. | :27:05. | |
but there is only one real way to win over the country. This is where | :27:06. | :27:11. | |
it is going to happen. It is the ground were just really have a | :27:12. | :27:15. | |
fearsome reputation and it is supposed to be a cauldron of | :27:16. | :27:20. | |
intimidation. There is no reason to feel intimidated. A lot of the | :27:21. | :27:25. | |
players in our squad worse here in 2010, 2011. -- word here. Australia | :27:26. | :27:36. | |
is an expensive country these days, a victory makes it worth the money. | :27:37. | :27:42. | |
It is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I have always wanted to | :27:43. | :27:49. | |
do it. It is important to win. If we are boring and win, that will do for | :27:50. | :27:55. | |
me. You will still find parks packed with children playing cricket. But | :27:56. | :28:03. | |
the children are growing up experiencing Australian defeat when | :28:04. | :28:05. | |
their parents just watch the team win. Two captain 's was an | :28:06. | :28:11. | |
opportunity, and responsibility to inspire their country. Ready or not, | :28:12. | :28:18. | |
here we go again. From glorious sunshine to cold | :28:19. | :28:21. | |
Britain. It is going to be staying rather | :28:22. | :28:33. | |
cold here at home. Over the next few days, the weather will be calming | :28:34. | :28:39. | |
down. It will not be as wet as it has been today. A short spell of | :28:40. | :28:46. | |
intense, atrocious weather has been sweeping southward over England and | :28:47. | :28:52. | |
Wales. Rain, thunder and even a bit of snow. Sunshine follows on behind | :28:53. | :28:57. | |
and then we get the shower is reading down from the north into | :28:58. | :29:02. | |
England and Wales. All driven on by a northerly wind which will make it | :29:03. | :29:08. | |
feel pretty cold out there. Overnight it will stay rather windy | :29:09. | :29:12. | |
in most places, there will be more showers. A bit of snow over the | :29:13. | :29:19. | |
Grampians. A lot of showers in the eastern side of Scotland. Frost is | :29:20. | :29:25. | |
going to be rather limited and most places will be frost free overnight. | :29:26. | :29:33. | |
A cold start in the western side of Scotland, not as cold and Northern | :29:34. | :29:38. | |
Ireland. Eastern Scotland near the close seeing some showers. A | :29:39. | :29:45. | |
scattering of showers early in the morning for the rush hour across | :29:46. | :29:49. | |
Wales, the Midlands and towards the south-west of England as well. Quite | :29:50. | :29:54. | |
a few showers in the south-east of England to start with. A lot of | :29:55. | :30:01. | |
showers for East Anglia as well. We have got a north-easterly wind | :30:02. | :30:05. | |
tomorrow. Showers across-the-board 's, and frequent showers across East | :30:06. | :30:09. | |
Anglia and the south-east of England. The sunniest weather, | :30:10. | :30:18. | |
western Scotland, Northern Ireland. It may not feel quite as cold | :30:19. | :30:22. | |
tomorrow because it will not be as windy. Low pressure is giving us the | :30:23. | :30:28. | |
wet and windy weather today. That will bring more rain into central | :30:29. | :30:31. | |
part of the Mediterranean this weekend. At home, high pressure is | :30:32. | :30:39. | |
going to build up. The last of the strong winds on Friday will be in | :30:40. | :30:45. | |
East Anglia and the south-east. Temperature is a bit on the low | :30:46. | :30:50. | |
side. Over the weekend it should stay rather chilly as well. Quite a | :30:51. | :30:55. | |
bit of cloud, many places will be dry and bright. | :30:56. | :31:02. | |
At 1:30pm, a reminder of our main story. | :31:03. | :31:07. | |
The Prime Minister rules out an amnesty for crimes committed during | :31:08. | :31:09. | |
