:00:12. > :00:17.The couple suspected of holding three women against their will for

:00:18. > :00:25.decades in a London house are named. The BBC understands the couple would

:00:26. > :00:31.activists. Also this lunchtime.

:00:32. > :00:34.A new law to the cost of payday loans after some lenders are accused

:00:35. > :00:41.of driving people further into debt. The payday lending industry was

:00:42. > :00:46.almost unregulated which led to an acceptable practices.

:00:47. > :00:49.Claims RBS drove small businesses to collapse so it could buy their

:00:50. > :00:56.assets on the cheap. Undercover at Amazon and workers

:00:57. > :01:00.face an increased risk of mental illness.

:01:01. > :01:03.A new 24-hour helpline is launched to help older people who find

:01:04. > :01:06.themselves losing touch with the outside world.

:01:07. > :01:13.Jonathan Trott has returned home out of the ashes because of a long

:01:14. > :01:17.standard, stress-related illness. Jailed for eight years, the rapist

:01:18. > :01:20.caught by the public during an attack.

:01:21. > :01:24.Hundreds of police officers go on control to keep cyclists safe and

:01:25. > :01:44.stop mortalities. Good afternoon.

:01:45. > :01:48.The BBC understands the couple arrested in the alleged slavery case

:01:49. > :01:54.are former activists. The police are investigating claims they held three

:01:55. > :02:01.women for more than 30 years and are looking at 13 addresses. Ali said

:02:02. > :02:05.the three alleged victims, a Briton, an Irish woman and the Malaysians

:02:06. > :02:11.are thought to have suffered years of physical and mental abuse. Our

:02:12. > :02:17.correspondence is with me now. We have names for the suspects who have

:02:18. > :02:29.been arrested? Yes, confirmed by the police. We understand in 1978, they

:02:30. > :02:36.were running a memorial centre in acre Lane in Brixton. It might be

:02:37. > :02:41.described as a group of activists who set up an operation at this

:02:42. > :02:44.building. In 1978 it was raided by police. And the leaders of this

:02:45. > :02:49.group were arrested and given jail sentences. We don't know whether the

:02:50. > :02:54.police regard this as the collect and they have talked about when they

:02:55. > :03:01.said these women were kept as part of a politically, ideological

:03:02. > :03:05.collective. That may be an area the police are investigating. There is a

:03:06. > :03:10.long way to go in this investigation and part of that will be looking at

:03:11. > :03:16.what kind of culture this group of activists is hard and whether there

:03:17. > :03:18.was any potential for any abuse. We have been talking about other

:03:19. > :03:24.addresses the couple have been linked to? The police had been doing

:03:25. > :03:28.house to house searches and checking the records of this couple and where

:03:29. > :03:33.they have lived. 13 addresses over more than 30 years. They have been

:03:34. > :03:38.in this country a long time. The lease are doing house to house

:03:39. > :03:42.searches in the area and they will be going through social service

:03:43. > :03:46.records, because there are some indications they were in receipt of

:03:47. > :03:51.some of the services social services provide, whether it is a then a fit

:03:52. > :03:58.service or a carer service, is not known. But it is something the local

:03:59. > :04:02.council may have provided them with. They have been bailed until January

:04:03. > :04:06.and the police have said it is a long and complex enquiry.

:04:07. > :04:10.A new law capping the cost of payday loans is to be introduced by the

:04:11. > :04:14.government. Annual charges can exceed 4000%. There have in growing

:04:15. > :04:22.calls for tougher controls on the way some lenders operate. The

:04:23. > :04:26.financial authority has not yet said what form the cap will take.

:04:27. > :04:32.This is one and another. And another. This south London high

:04:33. > :04:35.street like many, is punctuated right payday loan shops, providing

:04:36. > :04:40.emergency money to the cash-strapped. It is big business

:04:41. > :04:47.and demand is high. These short-term loans can be very expensive. Now the

:04:48. > :04:54.government once a cap on the cost. We inherited a situation where the

:04:55. > :05:02.payday lending was unregulated and that led to outrageous fees. We will

:05:03. > :05:08.now cap the credit for the payday lending industry. The Financial

:05:09. > :05:14.Conduct Authority wants to introduce the cap on the loans. It will decide

:05:15. > :05:18.what the level will be, but it will include arrangement fees and penalty

:05:19. > :05:22.fees for late payment. Short-term lenders have been accused of

:05:23. > :05:26.exploiting vulnerable customers, hitting them with high levels of

:05:27. > :05:32.interest, sometimes as much as 4000%. But the industry has boomed

:05:33. > :05:35.during the recession, lending to people who are struggling to make it

:05:36. > :05:42.to payday. Which is Jason's situation who is off to look for a

:05:43. > :05:48.loan. I don't get paid until Friday but my bills coming on Wednesday and

:05:49. > :05:50.Thursday and they have to be paid. Five figure interest rates is not

:05:51. > :05:56.acceptable. A cap on the loan would a good because then there would be

:05:57. > :06:02.only a certain amount of interest they can put on. This move is an

:06:03. > :06:06.about turn by the Treasury, which has previously been sceptical about

:06:07. > :06:11.having a cap on the overall cost of a loan. The group representing

:06:12. > :06:13.short-term lenders is unimpressed. The consumer Finance Association

:06:14. > :06:24.said: Labour said the government's move

:06:25. > :06:31.was overdue and there is more to do. The government has to pay catch

:06:32. > :06:35.up on other things, including advertising. The way in which we

:06:36. > :06:43.need to support credit unions. We have been called for a levy on the

:06:44. > :06:50.payday lenders to help credit unions. The cap is expected to come

:06:51. > :06:58.in before the next election. Many people rely on loans like these.

:06:59. > :07:02.The Royal Bank of Scotland says it is investigating claims the 81%

:07:03. > :07:05.state-owned bank drove some companies into liquidation so it

:07:06. > :07:10.could buy back their asset is at rock bottom prices. The allegations

:07:11. > :07:15.are made by a government adviser and are being investigated by city

:07:16. > :07:22.regulators. RBS in the headlines again. With

:07:23. > :07:26.damaging accusations that it drove viable, small businesses to collapse

:07:27. > :07:32.for its own financial gain. People have come to me with these horrific

:07:33. > :07:36.stories of businesses that in my view and their view were not

:07:37. > :07:39.failing. Did have a future, would have gone on to key people in

:07:40. > :07:46.employment and have been put down and RBS benefiting by getting their

:07:47. > :07:53.property at maybe a third, in a lot of places at what it would have been

:07:54. > :07:56.valued at. The allegations centre on its turnaround division, its Global

:07:57. > :08:01.Restructuring Group, where many viable businesses apparently ended

:08:02. > :08:06.up. They were reclassified as high risk which meant they were hit with

:08:07. > :08:12.higher fees, tipping them into distress and in many cases,

:08:13. > :08:16.insolvency. The report claims there are multiple accounts of RBS's

:08:17. > :08:20.internal property unit and then buying assets at cut prices. The

:08:21. > :08:25.government is taking the allegations seriously. We are not just taking it

:08:26. > :08:30.at face value, it has been referred to the regulators. We have asked the

:08:31. > :08:35.bank, some weeks ago, I referred it to them to ask for their reaction.

:08:36. > :08:40.We have to make sure the evidence is solid, but it does seem to confirm a

:08:41. > :08:45.pattern. As if RBS has not got enough on its plate, today there was

:08:46. > :08:52.another damaging report of a former deputy governor of the bank of

:08:53. > :08:55.England. It is said this important institution is not lending enough to

:08:56. > :08:59.healthy companies. The boss of RBS has said he has accepted the

:09:00. > :09:05.recommendations and saying in a letter they have committed to fixing

:09:06. > :09:10.their lending processes. He admitted some customers were angry at the

:09:11. > :09:13.treatment they received. RBS has appointed a law firm to look into

:09:14. > :09:19.the bank's treatment of small businesses in financial distress.

:09:20. > :09:24.The irony is, regulators will read RBS were keeping too many failed

:09:25. > :09:30.businesses on life-support. This bank needs to clean itself up, but

:09:31. > :09:34.the question is, at what cost? Police and crime commission should

:09:35. > :09:37.be abolished and replaced by a new system, according to a review of

:09:38. > :09:45.policing in England and Wales. The review, led by Lord Stevens, says

:09:46. > :09:49.they have fatal flaws and more power should be given to local

:09:50. > :09:52.authorities. The review also says 43 separate forces in England and Wales

:09:53. > :10:01.is untenable and some should be merged.

:10:02. > :10:05.The Hillsborough tragedy where it emerged hundreds of police

:10:06. > :10:12.statements were altered. Plebgate, some officers are currently under

:10:13. > :10:17.investigation. And the death of Ian Tomlinson, who was pushed over by a

:10:18. > :10:20.police officer and died. Some of the cases that were highlighted in this

:10:21. > :10:26.report as damaging public confidence in the police. The commission which

:10:27. > :10:30.has produced this report was set up by Labour. It is chaired by the

:10:31. > :10:34.former head of the Met, Lord Stevens, who brought together a team

:10:35. > :10:40.of academics and experts to examine all aspects of policing. He stressed

:10:41. > :10:43.his team were politically impartial. This morning, there was a broadside

:10:44. > :10:49.for the government. Whilst the government's reform of the lease pay

:10:50. > :10:53.and conditions is necessary, the failure to engage the service in the

:10:54. > :11:00.programme of reform has resulted in a damaging stand-off and plummeting

:11:01. > :11:03.morale. Among a raft of recommendations, the report is

:11:04. > :11:09.calling for the abolition of police and I commissioners, introduced by

:11:10. > :11:14.this government. It says they should be replaced by local policing boards

:11:15. > :11:16.and wants existing bodies like the Independent Police Complaints

:11:17. > :11:22.Commission to be scrapped and a beefed up body to be brought in. In

:11:23. > :11:24.a radical move it says police officers should be chartered or

:11:25. > :11:29.registered in the same way teachers and medics are. This report has

:11:30. > :11:34.taken two years to produce and contains more than 30

:11:35. > :11:39.recommendations. Plenty for the police service and politicians to

:11:40. > :11:42.digests. Officers of all ranks have argued for a commission on policing,

:11:43. > :11:46.but the government has always said it is not needed. It is 50 years

:11:47. > :11:51.since there was a Royal commission on policing. Labour said a new

:11:52. > :11:56.commission was overdue to reflect all of the changes in the policing

:11:57. > :11:58.landscape. When it comes to this report, ministers said they are

:11:59. > :12:04.putting into practice, some of the recommendations. Others, they are

:12:05. > :12:10.dead against. The attack on Police and Crime Commissioner 's is wrong.

:12:11. > :12:14.I think the overall point that the police should somehow have a wider

:12:15. > :12:19.remit and preventing crime and catching criminals, is quite a

:12:20. > :12:22.dangerous road to go down. In future, the police service will be

:12:23. > :12:27.operating with less money and fewer officers. The team behind the

:12:28. > :12:32.Stevens Report are adamant their changes can be brought in without

:12:33. > :12:36.any more resources. A scheme allowing people to check

:12:37. > :12:39.their partner's police record has been widened to include the whole of

:12:40. > :12:45.England and Wales. Clare's Law has been trialled by police forces and

:12:46. > :12:49.is named after Clare Wood, who was murdered by her ex-boyfriend who had

:12:50. > :12:54.a history of violence. Clare Wood was killed by her

:12:55. > :13:00.ex-boyfriend. She had no idea George Appleton had a long history of

:13:01. > :13:05.violence towards women. Now, a law in her name gives people the right

:13:06. > :13:11.to ask police about their partner's past. It is something her father has

:13:12. > :13:14.campaigned for since his daughter's death, to stop others being murdered

:13:15. > :13:19.at the hands of so-called loved ones. Clare's Law is not a panacea.

:13:20. > :13:25.We have never advocated it would stop domestic violence. But it gives

:13:26. > :13:30.women and men in that situation a reasonable chance to make an

:13:31. > :13:36.educated assumption of what they should do in future. Clare's Law has

:13:37. > :13:40.already been piloted in four areas. Over the past year, 126 people have

:13:41. > :13:46.been warned about their partner's violent past. The majority of those

:13:47. > :13:51.warnings have happened in Greater Manchester. Today, officers searched

:13:52. > :13:54.homes for domestic abusers, the scheme the government will now roll

:13:55. > :14:00.out to the rest of England and Wales. We have seen so far, women

:14:01. > :14:09.have been protected from violence and have left their partners. I felt

:14:10. > :14:15.completely isolated, like a nobody. Stripped of confidence, self-esteem.

:14:16. > :14:19.Lorraine was abused for 26 years. For her, Clare's Law is choice she

:14:20. > :14:28.never had. To empower women and to give them some rights, which

:14:29. > :14:31.obviously when they are victims of domestic abuse, these rights are

:14:32. > :14:39.stripped from them. But there is concern, two people are killed every

:14:40. > :14:45.week by violent partners. Some worry that Clare's Law will do little to

:14:46. > :14:52.help. We have a major problem in this country where thousands of

:14:53. > :14:54.women are not getting the protection they need and deserve. We don't

:14:55. > :14:57.believe this scheme is a good use of taxpayer's money. It is important we

:14:58. > :15:01.help the majority of victims. Domestic abuse claims Clare Wood's

:15:02. > :15:16.life but her legacy is now giving us the right to ask and the right to

:15:17. > :15:20.know. Coming up, making a comeback - how the red squirrel is fighting

:15:21. > :15:26.back against the grey squirrel. On BBC London, the mayor launches a new

:15:27. > :15:45.housing strategy. The England batsman Jonathan Trott

:15:46. > :15:48.has left the Ashes tour in Australia because of a long-standing

:15:49. > :15:52.stress-related condition. He had been struggling to score runs on the

:15:53. > :15:58.tour and has been taunted by the Australian for his lack of form. The

:15:59. > :16:06.ECB says he needs to be with his family and will take a break from

:16:07. > :16:12.cricket for the foreseeable future. Jonathan Trott walked into the first

:16:13. > :16:16.Ashes test match and experienced successful international cricketer,

:16:17. > :16:19.but we now know he was carrying a stress-related condition in

:16:20. > :16:24.Brisbane. He struggled badly against Australia and has not been at his

:16:25. > :16:29.best for some time. It seems the endless touring has taken its toll

:16:30. > :16:34.on another England player. He needs time to reassess and spend some

:16:35. > :16:42.quiet time with his family, and this isn't the type of environment for

:16:43. > :16:49.that type of rest and recuperation he requires. In recent years, other

:16:50. > :16:53.England cricketers have flown home in similar circumstances. Marcus

:16:54. > :16:58.Trescothick, Michael Yardley. Here at this hotel, the ECB insists they

:16:59. > :17:07.have the right support network in place to support him, they were

:17:08. > :17:11.proved wrong. Well Jonathan Trott was referred to by David Warner as

:17:12. > :17:16.scared and weak, England are furious about that but insisted did not

:17:17. > :17:20.prompt his departure. Tension between the teams was blatantly

:17:21. > :17:26.obvious. Australia's captain has been fined for telling another

:17:27. > :17:32.player to expect his arms to be broken by fast bowling during the

:17:33. > :17:37.test. This series worries me about where it could go. I don't think

:17:38. > :17:41.anybody in these teams likes each other very much. Andy Flower has

:17:42. > :17:48.said he will talk to the players and get them to pull their necks in. We

:17:49. > :17:52.are in the midst of back to back Ashes test series almost without a

:17:53. > :17:57.break. Playing cricket for England may be a dream job but it is

:17:58. > :18:00.relentless, and it is not clear if Jonathan Trott will ever return to

:18:01. > :18:07.it. It is called The Silver Line and it

:18:08. > :18:12.is hoped the new 24 hour a day helpline for older people will help

:18:13. > :18:20.combat the loneliness many pensioners feel. It has been set up

:18:21. > :18:26.by restaurants in and has already been trialled in the north of

:18:27. > :18:35.England. Some ask for advice, others just to talk to someone. It is two

:18:36. > :18:41.and a half years since Joseph lost his wife. At times he says the

:18:42. > :18:46.loneliness is unbearable. After being married for 52 years to my

:18:47. > :19:03.wife, who was not only my wife up my life, I find it very hard. I do miss

:19:04. > :19:07.her. After I have finished my little jobs in the morning, doing the

:19:08. > :19:17.dinner, then it really comes home. I don't know, I'm not ashamed to say I

:19:18. > :19:25.break down and cry. Could this be the answer? Hello? It is Natasha

:19:26. > :19:31.from The Silver Line. A charity simply offering a friendly phone

:19:32. > :19:35.call each week. Natasha is part of a group of volunteers, and older

:19:36. > :19:40.people who are feeling lonely can call for advice or simply someone to

:19:41. > :19:44.talk to. When somebody calls for the first time, they can be paired up

:19:45. > :19:49.with a volunteer who will call them each week. They have been trialling

:19:50. > :19:55.it in the north of England, and in the first year they have already

:19:56. > :20:00.made and received 8000 calls. The volunteers say it is already making

:20:01. > :20:05.a real difference. One lady in particular said she didn't have many

:20:06. > :20:09.friends, but now I was classed as one of her best friends, which

:20:10. > :20:15.really touched me. I had only been speaking to her for three weeks. Now

:20:16. > :20:21.it is being extended to cover the whole of the UK. Its founder, Esther

:20:22. > :20:28.Ranson, hopes it will help older people in the way ChildLine has

:20:29. > :20:32.helped many children. We have discovered that older people are

:20:33. > :20:37.reluctant to admit they are lonely, they don't want to be a burden, they

:20:38. > :20:42.don't even want to tell their families. For older people, we are

:20:43. > :20:48.the only free, national helpline open 24 hours a day. For Joseph,

:20:49. > :20:54.that one phone call in the week helps to fill the gap between visits

:20:55. > :20:58.from his family. It says it is not competing with charities like the

:20:59. > :21:02.Samaritans, it believes there is a real need and is expecting a million

:21:03. > :21:07.calls in the first year of going national.

:21:08. > :21:11.Sanctions against Iran could be eased as soon as December after the

:21:12. > :21:15.historic agreement on its nuclear programme reached in Geneva,

:21:16. > :21:19.according to the French foreign minister. The deal has been welcomed

:21:20. > :21:25.by many countries but has been opposed by Israel.

:21:26. > :21:30.Whatever the international verdict on the deal, in Iran there was

:21:31. > :21:35.jubilation. Greetings to the Ambassador of peace, said the

:21:36. > :21:40.posters, as the country's Foreign Minister arrived home. This woman

:21:41. > :21:45.said the greatest benefit will be peace and that we will see progress

:21:46. > :21:50.in every field. Amongst the crowd there was no sense of Iran bowing to

:21:51. > :21:54.pressure. This man said, the world powers were finally forced to

:21:55. > :22:05.recognise Iran's right to enrichment. As he spoke to the

:22:06. > :22:11.nation on TV, Mr Zarif emphasised Iran still have the upper hand. All

:22:12. > :22:19.the measures we will take our reversible and we hope we don't have

:22:20. > :22:23.to do this. All sides appeared to be relieved after days of intense

:22:24. > :22:28.negotiations. For Iran, the hope that crippling sanctions can at last

:22:29. > :22:33.be lifted. For the international community, a vital step forward.

:22:34. > :22:47.Under the preliminary agreement, Iran would neutralise its stockpile

:22:48. > :22:50.of enriched uranium, but the Americans are treading carefully.

:22:51. > :22:54.There is no agreement that they can enrich, they have the ability to

:22:55. > :22:59.negotiate it, but they could only gain that capacity to have some

:23:00. > :23:04.enrichment as some countries do if they live up to the whole set of

:23:05. > :23:08.terms necessary to prove it is a peaceful programme. The groundwork

:23:09. > :23:13.for the deal was apparently laid months ago in secret meetings. For

:23:14. > :23:19.President Obama it is a diplomatic coup after decades of hostility with

:23:20. > :23:22.Iran, but the Israelis are calling the agreement and historic mistake,

:23:23. > :23:28.making the world a more dangerous place. The key will be detailed

:23:29. > :23:32.verification that Iran sticks to its promises. We are embarking on a

:23:33. > :23:36.programme of lifting a certain number of sanctions but it is

:23:37. > :23:41.reversible. You will see when you read the text the same phrase used

:24:01. > :24:02.regulated nothing is regulated. The French say sanctions could be

:24:03. > :24:05.partially lifted as soon as next month. All sides have taken a big

:24:06. > :24:07.political risk with this deal and it will be months before the real

:24:08. > :24:10.outcome is clear. The former Manchester United defender Bill

:24:11. > :24:16.Foulkes has died at the age of 81. He captained the England team in the

:24:17. > :24:22.1958 FA Cup final. He was among the survivors of the Munich air disaster

:24:23. > :24:30.in which 23 people died. He went on to make 688 appearances for United.

:24:31. > :24:34.Prince Harry has been speaking about his final preparations before he

:24:35. > :24:37.sets off on a race to the South Pole.

:24:38. > :24:42.He is in the Antarctic with a team of wounded service men and women

:24:43. > :24:47.from the UK who are competing against two other teams. They

:24:48. > :24:54.haven't set of yet, have they, Nicolas? No, they have hit bad

:24:55. > :24:57.weather. They are at a Russian base, hoping to acclimatise, but they have

:24:58. > :25:02.not been able to do much of that because of the bad weather. Three

:25:03. > :25:08.teams of service men and women from the UK, and it is hoped tomorrow

:25:09. > :25:15.they will be flown to a position about 200 miles from the South Pole

:25:16. > :25:18.and they will walk there. In the last few minutes we have received

:25:19. > :25:24.part of an interview with Prince Harry, in which he has been asked

:25:25. > :25:31.how his family feels about this. My father was a little bit concerned.

:25:32. > :25:36.Obviously I tried to keep him calm but the north pole was a dangerous

:25:37. > :25:42.one because we were walking on a frozen ocean, whereas this time we

:25:43. > :25:49.will be taken around the crevasse. A fine ginger beard being grown! They

:25:50. > :25:52.will be flown to this point 208 miles from the South Pole and it is

:25:53. > :26:01.the race between the three teams over those last 208 miles and they

:26:02. > :26:07.will hope to get there around the 14th of December. They were once the

:26:08. > :26:10.only squirrel species in Europe but many of them were wiped out by the

:26:11. > :26:15.grey squirrel which was brought to the UK from America in the late 18

:26:16. > :26:19.hundredths. They brought with them squirrelpox which killed off vast

:26:20. > :26:28.numbers of red squirrels but now a group of them in Merseyside are

:26:29. > :26:32.showing resistance to the disease. Just five years ago, the red

:26:33. > :26:36.squirrel population here at this National Trust reserve in the

:26:37. > :26:41.north-west of England was decimated by an outbreak of squirrelpox. The

:26:42. > :26:46.virus carried by grey squirrels has killed thousands of red squirrels

:26:47. > :26:51.across the UK. After it crashed in 2008, the red squirrel population

:26:52. > :26:55.here has started to recover, and for the past four years researchers from

:26:56. > :26:59.the University of Liverpool have been studying the animals up close.

:27:00. > :27:10.So close that they have to catch them in traps. Once they catch a

:27:11. > :27:14.squirrel, the team examines it as swiftly as possible, taking the

:27:15. > :27:19.all-important blood samples. We are looking for the pox virus and

:27:20. > :27:22.antibodies to see if they have been previously exposed. The work shows a

:27:23. > :27:27.very small percentage do have antibodies to the pox virus so it

:27:28. > :27:32.appears they have come across the virus before, and they are still

:27:33. > :27:37.running about healthily in the woodland. This could help reverse a

:27:38. > :27:41.century of decline in this species, but their brief ordeal does seem to

:27:42. > :27:48.leave the squirrel is a little bit cross!

:27:49. > :27:56.Let's have a look at the latest weather forecast now. Plenty of

:27:57. > :28:00.sunshine in this short but that it has been hit and miss for many

:28:01. > :28:06.through the week, but some clear trend is emerging. Mostly dry story

:28:07. > :28:11.for many, but overnight we will see some frost and fork. Just a mild

:28:12. > :28:17.spell through the middle of the week, but will it last? Another

:28:18. > :28:24.patchwork quilt across the UK, as you can see. Areas of cloud and some

:28:25. > :28:30.clear spells in between bringing some of us some sunshine. Where we

:28:31. > :28:36.have the clear skies, that is where temperatures will drop away quite

:28:37. > :28:43.quickly. You can see these are the areas prone to fog and frost,

:28:44. > :28:52.changing as the night goes on. Many towns and cities getting close to

:28:53. > :29:01.freezing, in the Rory -- rural areas it will be a few degrees below

:29:02. > :29:04.that. One change tomorrow across northern Scotland specifically, this

:29:05. > :29:09.weather front moving in so the wind will be picking up but it is a warm

:29:10. > :29:14.front so it will bring some rain but also some milder air through the

:29:15. > :29:18.course of the day. Not as cold as it was this morning through the central

:29:19. > :29:24.belt, and less likely to see fog. A cold start in northern England, and

:29:25. > :29:30.we could see some patchy fog in the mix. Enough of a breeze to keep the

:29:31. > :29:33.mist and fog away in eastern parts, but in southwestern England more

:29:34. > :29:38.likely to see some clear spells with some frost. Generally more cloud

:29:39. > :29:46.around tomorrow across England and Wales, Northern Ireland has a very

:29:47. > :29:49.cloudy picture as well. Temperatures picking up across Scotland, some

:29:50. > :29:56.places get into double figures by the end of the day. That rain,

:29:57. > :30:00.gradually easing through as well. As that edges southwards, the milder

:30:01. > :30:11.air will follow. Temperatures on double figures on Wednesday. We

:30:12. > :30:15.start the week with a chill, milder air visits for a time through the

:30:16. > :30:20.week, but it will not last because we get the chill coming back for the

:30:21. > :30:24.end of the week. The wind will swing back to the north. You can follow

:30:25. > :30:29.the ups and downs of the temperature where you live by looking at the

:30:30. > :30:33.website. Our top story this lunchtime - the

:30:34. > :30:39.couple suspected of holding free women against their will the decade

:30:40. > :30:43.in a London house have been named. They are former Maoist activists.

:30:44. > :30:49.You can keep upto date with developments on that story and the
