:01:39. > :01:41.BBC News at One. One of the men accused of murdering
:01:42. > :01:44.Fusilier Lee Rigby outside Woolwich barracks in London has been giving
:01:45. > :01:48.evidence at the Old Bailey for the first time. Michael Adebolajo, a
:01:49. > :01:51.father of six from Essex, described the moment he targeted the British
:01:52. > :01:56.soldier, and told the court he prayed he had the right victim. The
:01:57. > :01:59.28-year-old Muslim convert said he loved al-Qaeda, and blamed Lee
:02:00. > :02:05.Rigby's death on the Uk's foreign policy. Our home affairs
:02:06. > :02:13.correspondent June Kelly is outside the Old Bailey now.
:02:14. > :02:21.He has been giving more details surrounding the death.
:02:22. > :02:25.I am a soldier and this is war, the words of Michael Adebolajo from the
:02:26. > :02:30.witness box. There was intense security as he was moved to the
:02:31. > :02:36.witness box. He said he loved Al-Qaeda like his brothers, and said
:02:37. > :02:41.he targeted Lee Rigby that day, he set out to target a British soldier.
:02:42. > :02:46.They picked on him because he was carrying a military rucksack. He
:02:47. > :02:50.said, after the actual killing, and his barrister did not go into detail
:02:51. > :02:57.because the jury has already heard the details of the death, he said he
:02:58. > :03:03.was mindful of the family were in court, Adebolajo said he asked
:03:04. > :03:07.members of the public to record his thoughts and message because he did
:03:08. > :03:13.not want people to be brainwashed by the BBC. He said he waited for the
:03:14. > :03:18.military to arrive. The police arrived, and he was shot when he ran
:03:19. > :03:23.at them wielding a meat cleaver. He said he wished the police had shot
:03:24. > :03:27.him in our head. He said he wanted to die. He described being taken to
:03:28. > :03:34.hospital and said the nurses were the best on the planet.
:03:35. > :03:38.Adebolajo was giving details of his childhood in Essex and his decision
:03:39. > :03:42.to convert to Islam. He converted in his first year at
:03:43. > :03:47.university. He said he had been brought up in a Christian family.
:03:48. > :03:52.His parents believed the way to success was getting a degree. He
:03:53. > :03:56.decided it was by getting to Paradise. He said he became
:03:57. > :04:00.increasingly infuriated by British foreign policy, particularly the war
:04:01. > :04:04.in Iraq, and he said that motivated him that day to go and kill a
:04:05. > :04:07.British soldier. He will continue his evidence this afternoon.
:04:08. > :04:12.Some patients taken by ambulance to NHS hospitals in England, Wales and
:04:13. > :04:14.Scotland are having to wait outside A departments in an ambulance for
:04:15. > :04:18.far longer than they should. The recommended time is 15 minutes. But
:04:19. > :04:22.data released to the BBC under the Freedom Of Information Act reveals,
:04:23. > :04:27.that in the worst case, a patient in Wales was kept waiting for more than
:04:28. > :04:29.six hours. NHS England says it is trying to minimise any delays, and
:04:30. > :04:40.most people are transferred within 30 minutes. Our health correspondent
:04:41. > :04:44.Dominic Hughes reports. Ambulance crews work hard to get
:04:45. > :04:48.patients to hospital as quickly as possible. Once there, they hit
:04:49. > :04:54.delays which can stop them getting to the next job, and it is bad for
:04:55. > :04:58.patient safety. The figures obtained showed there have been serious
:04:59. > :05:05.delays. A symptom of an entire system under pressure. The reason we
:05:06. > :05:10.have got to this point is delayed discharges. Secondly, huge cutbacks
:05:11. > :05:16.in social care. Thirdly, inappropriate presentations to A
:05:17. > :05:21.departments. And 25% of walk-in centres being closed over two
:05:22. > :05:27.years. The figures obtained by the BBC for ambulance handovers at A
:05:28. > :05:34.revealed that Wales have some of the worst delays. Overall, England was
:05:35. > :05:39.better but had if you long delays up to five hours and 51 minutes.
:05:40. > :05:44.Scotland had the longest under two hours. Northern Ireland failed to
:05:45. > :05:49.respond to the Freedom of information request. But the average
:05:50. > :05:55.weight was around 40 minutes and 40 seconds. In England, their financial
:05:56. > :05:59.penalties for long handover delays. The situation has improved slightly
:06:00. > :06:02.since they were introduced but doctors say the pressures reflect
:06:03. > :06:08.what is going on in the health system.
:06:09. > :06:16.Our hospitals are to fall. The two patient groups are being admitted at
:06:17. > :06:20.the same time and we need a system where these hospitals are not
:06:21. > :06:26.penalised for delaying routine surgery at times of peak demand. In
:06:27. > :06:29.Wales, officials say the longest delays are exceptional and the NHS
:06:30. > :06:34.has halved the number of patients waiting more than an hour. NHS
:06:35. > :06:36.England says waiting times are improving as the number of delays
:06:37. > :06:39.over 30 minutes is falling. As part of the BBC's NHS Winter
:06:40. > :06:42.Project, we're launching a website which lets you see the latest weekly
:06:43. > :06:49.statistics for every major A department in England. Go to:

:06:51. > :07:02.hospital is coping. MPs are to examine problems
:07:03. > :07:10.hampering the implementation of a central pillar of government changes
:07:11. > :07:13.to the welfare system. The Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith
:07:14. > :07:16.will be asked to explain why the new universal credit will not be paid to
:07:17. > :07:22.about 700,000 people until after a planned 2017 deadline. Our political
:07:23. > :07:26.correspondent Chris Mason reports. It is a whopper of a shake up,
:07:27. > :07:30.merging six benefits into one, trying to make sure it pays to
:07:31. > :07:36.work. The man in charge has repeatedly said it was on-time and
:07:37. > :07:41.on budget. Listen to him now. Yes, I do accept that this plan is
:07:42. > :07:46.different. We are going to set a system so the system works first, we
:07:47. > :07:51.test the people going on to it. When we know how it works, we roll the
:07:52. > :07:55.numbers in as we understand how the system behaves. Isn't that the best
:07:56. > :07:59.way to do it? This will mean three quarters of a million of the most
:08:00. > :08:06.vulnerable will not be transferred until after 2017. The deadline has
:08:07. > :08:11.slipped massively elsewhere. The latest published figure shows 2150
:08:12. > :08:17.people were claiming universal credit in September. Two years ago,
:08:18. > :08:22.he set a target of more than 1 million claiming it by April next
:08:23. > :08:28.year. That offers an insight into the timetable. What about the
:08:29. > :08:32.budget? Expect Iain Duncan Smith to be pressed on how much money has
:08:33. > :08:39.been written off on IT. Labour in principle that universal credit but
:08:40. > :08:46.one can detect a whiff of delay in implementation.
:08:47. > :08:51.The public come out -- be Public Accounts Committee and others have
:08:52. > :08:55.said this project has been off track for months now. And Iain Duncan
:08:56. > :09:00.Smith failed to get a grip. This is about his leadership. He has staked
:09:01. > :09:06.his reputation on it. We know that flagship policy is in tatters. Iain
:09:07. > :09:13.Duncan Smith is defined. Delivering universal credit safely is more
:09:14. > :09:16.important than deadlines, he says. But 7 million people will eventually
:09:17. > :09:21.be reliant on it so plenty are asking him the question -- these
:09:22. > :09:29.simple questions. Three people have been killed after
:09:30. > :09:32.a fire broke out in a house in Greater Manchester in the early
:09:33. > :09:35.hours of this morning. A woman, who was rescued from the flames, died in
:09:36. > :09:38.hospital. Two more bodies were discovered in the house in Bolton.
:09:39. > :09:45.Our correspondent, Ed Thomas is at the scene.
:09:46. > :09:49.This is the Heaton area, on the edge of Bolton. A leafy suburb with
:09:50. > :09:53.large, detached houses. What neighbours have told us is at 2am
:09:54. > :09:58.this morning, they heard an explosion. They came outside to see
:09:59. > :10:02.this house engulfed with flames. Fire fighters were soon here and
:10:03. > :10:08.pulled one body from the house. A woman who later died in hospital. A
:10:09. > :10:11.search was carried out and to further bodies were found. One
:10:12. > :10:16.neighbour said, when they came out, this place was full of smoke and
:10:17. > :10:22.what they thought was fog. We heard the sound of the fire
:10:23. > :10:26.engines. And we heard some banging noises which by the firemen tried to
:10:27. > :10:31.break open the door to gain entry. When I looked out the window, we saw
:10:32. > :10:38.a scene we thought we'd only see in a film, not on your doorstep. It was
:10:39. > :10:44.a fire in the kitchen which looked like it had taken hold. Lots of
:10:45. > :10:48.big, black smoke. Police and fire fighters are taking
:10:49. > :10:53.this extremely seriously. There is an investigation going on now. What
:10:54. > :10:54.they want to find out is how this fire started, and the identity of
:10:55. > :11:02.the people who died. The Prime Minister of Thailand has
:11:03. > :11:05.dissolved parliament, and is promising to hold fresh elections in
:11:06. > :11:07.the face of growing anti-government protests. An estimated 100,000
:11:08. > :11:10.people have continued to demonstrate in the capital, Bangkok, despite the
:11:11. > :11:12.announcement. Protest leaders say they don't want new elections
:11:13. > :11:22.because the entire democratic system needs to be changed.
:11:23. > :11:28.They promised a day of judgement. A mass assault to bring down the
:11:29. > :11:31.government. They have certainly got a huge crowd. The news the Prime
:11:32. > :11:37.Minister was offering an election softened the mood. The opposition
:11:38. > :11:44.show of strength became more like a giant street party. The leaders of
:11:45. > :11:51.this protest note they have an impressive turnout. You can see the
:11:52. > :11:55.streets are filled with people. It has certainly made an impression on
:11:56. > :12:00.the government. What you do not see are the government supporters. You
:12:01. > :12:08.have to ask whether they have enough people to be able to beat the
:12:09. > :12:13.government in an election. There was some confusion among
:12:14. > :12:20.participants. Had they won? Was an election a big enough concession? If
:12:21. > :12:27.it was me, I would accept it. Even if this government wins another
:12:28. > :12:35.election? For me, yes. I'm not sure about other people. What is wrong
:12:36. > :12:48.with an election? She will have her way to come back. And also her team.
:12:49. > :12:53.Even the main opposition party whose MPs have joined these IDs seemed
:12:54. > :12:57.unclear. Its leader has been demanding an election for days, yet
:12:58. > :13:07.was suddenly unsure whether he would even contest it. You will have two
:13:08. > :13:14.asked the party. So, an announcement that should have cleared the air had
:13:15. > :13:20.cleared up nothing. An election will be held in less than two months. How
:13:21. > :13:25.it will go, whether its results will be respected, is anyone's guests.
:13:26. > :13:29.Health ministers from the G8 nations will meet in London this week, to
:13:30. > :13:36.discuss the urgent challenge posed by dementia. 44 million people are
:13:37. > :13:40.already living with the condition around the world - and that figure's
:13:41. > :13:45.predicted to soar to 76 million by 2030. Every day this week, we'll be
:13:46. > :13:48.taking a look at what life is like for those who have dementia, and for
:13:49. > :13:51.the people who support them. Today we're hearing from Viv Galley, whose
:13:52. > :14:04.husband Bill has advanced Alzheimer's.
:14:05. > :14:08.What do I think of Alzheimer's? It's a horrible, horrible illness. It
:14:09. > :14:15.tears your life apart. Hello. Cup of tea's ready.
:14:16. > :14:19.This has taken over our lives. Bill can't do anything for himself.
:14:20. > :14:32.It took us a year until somebody finally said, yes, definitely
:14:33. > :14:41.Alzheimer's. It just hits you in the gut. From stating that diagnosis, it
:14:42. > :14:43.has progressed so rapidly. His speech has gone, he can't have a
:14:44. > :14:59.conversation. It's just horrible. She's brilliant. She's so good with
:15:00. > :15:04.him. He can get stroppy, nasty
:15:05. > :15:17.sometimes. This illness has done that. He used to lash out and punch
:15:18. > :15:21.me on my arms. He's really, like he was fighting with a man, it wasn't
:15:22. > :15:26.as if he knew I was a woman and shouldn't do that.
:15:27. > :15:29.When you start to go to these groups and to meet other people in the same
:15:30. > :15:36.situation, it's so good. They know what you are going through. And you
:15:37. > :15:38.know what they are going through. I met Bill 21 years ago. It was in
:15:39. > :15:51.the summer. He was such good company. He was
:15:52. > :16:01.lovely. I love him to bits. Sorry, I am getting upset now.
:16:02. > :16:12.Yes, we had a good life. We had a good 17/18 years of happiness.
:16:13. > :16:16.Bill, what's my name? I'm not mum, I'm your wife. Eventually it will
:16:17. > :16:23.take me away from him because he's not going to know who I am.
:16:24. > :16:25.That's heartbreaking. That is heartbreaking. See you in the
:16:26. > :16:31.morning. I love him with all my heart.
:16:32. > :16:39.He's still there. He's still my Bill. Viv Galley, describing her
:16:40. > :16:47.experiences of dealing with Alzheimer's. The time is just after
:16:48. > :16:51.1. 15pm. Michael Adebowale tells the Old Bailey he targeted Lee Rigby
:16:52. > :16:55.because of the UK's foreign policy, claiming his actions would save

:17:14. > :17:16.We will be live with a Lewisham hospital as they aim for a Christmas
:17:17. > :17:26.number one. Final preparations are being made
:17:27. > :17:31.for tomorrow's national memorial service in South Africa to celebrate
:17:32. > :17:35.the life of Nelson Mandela. Four British Prime Ministers, past and
:17:36. > :17:41.present, will be among leaders who will join the tens of thousands of
:17:42. > :17:45.people expected to pack into the soccer stadium in Soweto.
:17:46. > :17:49.The funeral will take place on Sunday.
:17:50. > :17:55.Yes, the memorial service is due to last around four hours. It is sure
:17:56. > :17:59.to be charged with immense joy at the success of a man who is revered
:18:00. > :18:04.at home and right around the world. Of course, naturally sadness and for
:18:05. > :18:08.some people utter desolation that he's no longer here. Well, leaders
:18:09. > :18:12.from around the world, including President Obama and David Cameron,
:18:13. > :18:19.will join tens of thousands of ordinary South Africans for that
:18:20. > :18:23.memorial service in the FNB Soccer stadium in Soweto. Millions more
:18:24. > :18:28.will watch live on television. Well, this morning, one of Nelson
:18:29. > :18:31.Mandela's daughter's gave her first television interview since her
:18:32. > :18:40.father's death. She has been describing his final moments.
:18:41. > :18:44.Every day, for the past months I would say, I love you. I am coming
:18:45. > :18:50.to see you tomorrow. And then maybe he would open his
:18:51. > :19:01.eyes for just a second and close those eyes.
:19:02. > :19:04.So, for me I think until the last moment had us, you know and the
:19:05. > :19:12.children were there, the grand children were there.
:19:13. > :19:16.Graca was there. We were always around. The last moment, we were
:19:17. > :19:23.sitting with him and when the doctors told us, I think the morning
:19:24. > :19:32.they warned us before there were signs. But when they told us there
:19:33. > :19:36.was nothing they could do, and said to me might you call everybody that
:19:37. > :19:41.is here that wants to see him and say goodbye. It was the most
:19:42. > :19:43.wonderful day for us. Because the grandchildren were there. We were
:19:44. > :19:52.there. I don't think my father fought just
:19:53. > :19:57.for political freedom. He also fought for spiritual freedom, to
:19:58. > :20:04.free yourself spiritually. He talks about the thing that it takes
:20:05. > :20:08.courage to forgive. Forgiveness is a difficult thing. Wake up one morning
:20:09. > :20:14.and say, I forgive those who incarcerated me. I think he knew
:20:15. > :20:20.that if you didn't forgive he would be forever in prison, himself spirit
:20:21. > :20:26.ally. And if you are not free, you cannot be free, definitely here. And
:20:27. > :20:33.so, for me, the lesson is to have the lesson you can takeaway from his
:20:34. > :20:38.life is to have the courage to forgive other people. Your own
:20:39. > :20:43.husband, if you are married, your own children, your own neighbours.
:20:44. > :20:47.Your own community. If we have the courage to forgive as human beings
:20:48. > :20:52.there would be no wars that we see around us. There would be no crime,
:20:53. > :20:57.no violence, no conflict. And for me, that's the greatest gift that
:20:58. > :21:06.Tata has given to the world. Nelson Mandela's daughter there.
:21:07. > :21:12.Well, his time spent as a political prisoner on that desolate rock,
:21:13. > :21:17.called Robben Island helped to shape the man and define his political
:21:18. > :21:26.idles. He was in total there for 18 years. Prisoner 46664.
:21:27. > :21:34.Yes, just behind me the stark entrance way to Robin island. Very
:21:35. > :21:40.much a reflect -- Robben Island. Very much a reflective mood. This is
:21:41. > :21:45.where Nelson Mandela arrived, in his mid-40s. He spent 18 of his 27 years
:21:46. > :21:50.in jail here. I went earlier on in his prison cell. There a single
:21:51. > :21:54.candle burns bright. The staff here at Robben Island and some of the
:21:55. > :22:01.political prisoner prisoners expect to come back tomorrow. They will
:22:02. > :22:05.participate in their own private memorial service here. Much has been
:22:06. > :22:09.made of the friendships that Nelson Mandela forged with some of the
:22:10. > :22:13.prison guards. They were friendships that were born out of a sense of
:22:14. > :22:24.mutual respect. One of those that stands out among all the others is
:22:25. > :22:34.the friendship he had with Christo Brand. In 1978 a young African that
:22:35. > :22:39.prison guard arrived. His name was Christo Brand.
:22:40. > :22:45.Which was Mandela's cell? Just here. You can see two mats. By then Nelson
:22:46. > :22:52.Mandela was halfway through his 27 years in jail.
:22:53. > :23:04.You know, when I came here, immediately I felt I hate them. A
:23:05. > :23:07.few months later, he gets visits. He gets visitors. I thought what was
:23:08. > :23:14.they in for. We were told they were the biggest criminals. On the name
:23:15. > :23:19.was the name. He said, no that is not - these people will handle you
:23:20. > :23:24.with respect. These people will not steal from you, if you leave food on
:23:25. > :23:29.our table. If you leave a newspaper they will steal it because he was
:23:30. > :23:33.hungry for news. The two men would form an unlikely friendship. He
:23:34. > :23:40.means to me quite a lot. He was like a father to me. He always believed
:23:41. > :23:46.we are human beings, not black and white. I ask Mandela if he hate the
:23:47. > :23:52.white people who put him in prison. He said, Mr Brand I cannot hate
:23:53. > :23:56.white people. I can hate the system. All hi friends were white before he
:23:57. > :23:58.came to prison. He had a lot of white friends. Today Christo Brand
:23:59. > :24:17.is back, working on Robben Island. I think Mandela figures we mustn't
:24:18. > :24:24.never repeat the past. We must look forward.
:24:25. > :24:27.Many of those ex-prisoners feel very much like ambassadors for Nelson
:24:28. > :24:32.Mandela now. And they have even more of a desire to tell his story to
:24:33. > :24:35.future generations. One told me, it is like handing the spear from one
:24:36. > :24:37.generation to the next. It feels like South Africa today has a lot to
:24:38. > :24:48.live up to. Many thanks. So, the scene is set
:24:49. > :24:53.for tomorrow's special memorial service. Nelson Mandela's body will
:24:54. > :25:02.lay in state in the capital, Pretoria, before making its final
:25:03. > :25:08.journey to the eastern cape for a private burial service on Sunday.
:25:09. > :25:16.And you can see live coverage of tomorrow's memorial service from
:25:17. > :25:22.Soweto in a special programme from Soweto in a special programme,
:25:23. > :25:26.Nelson Mandela: A Nation Remembers. DJ Campbell is among six people
:25:27. > :25:31.questioned in connection with allegations of sixing in -- fixing
:25:32. > :25:36.in football matches. He is one of six arrested. They were detained
:25:37. > :25:42.after the former Portsmouth player, Sam Sodje, told a reporter he could
:25:43. > :25:46.arrange for players to be booked or sent off in exchange for cash. Let's
:25:47. > :25:51.speak to our correspondent. What more can you tell us? In the last
:25:52. > :25:54.hour or so, the National Crime Agency have confirmed five people
:25:55. > :25:59.arrested yesterday have now been released on bail. A sixth person is
:26:00. > :26:04.still being questioned by police. Now, among the people arrested
:26:05. > :26:08.yesterday, we know is DJ Campbell - a striker here at Blackburn Rovers.
:26:09. > :26:12.Blackburn have released a statement, saying they will make no further
:26:13. > :26:17.comment on what is an on-going legal matter. DJ Campbell is the most high
:26:18. > :26:19.profile figure to be arrested in connection to these latest
:26:20. > :26:23.allegations of corruption in football. He is a familiar name to
:26:24. > :26:27.football fans up and down the country. In fact he's played in the
:26:28. > :26:32.Premier League with three different clubs. This latest investigation
:26:33. > :26:37.follows footage released by the Sun on Sunday yesterday, which showed
:26:38. > :26:42.the former Portsmouth player, Sam Sodje, claiming he got himself
:26:43. > :26:47.deliberately sent off in exchange for ?70,000. He claimed he could get
:26:48. > :26:51.other players deliberately to pick up yellow cards. These are
:26:52. > :26:57.allegations of fixing specific elements within a match. In that
:26:58. > :27:01.sense, the game of English football is under scrutiny, like never
:27:02. > :27:05.before. Thank you very much. Australia made quick work of
:27:06. > :27:08.finishing off England in the second Ashes this morning. The visitors are
:27:09. > :27:13.two down, with three to play in the series and will need something very
:27:14. > :27:16.special if they will keep hold of the urn.
:27:17. > :27:22.It is no good arriving at the fifth day of a Test Match in Australia and
:27:23. > :27:26.expecting the weather to come to your rescue. Drizzle delayed play
:27:27. > :27:30.for ten minutes. England lastedless than an -- less
:27:31. > :27:34.than an hour. The more obvious Australia make the trap the more
:27:35. > :27:38.determined some England players are to jump into it. So much for Stuart
:27:39. > :27:42.Broad, out in the first over. Matt Prior at least played himself back
:27:43. > :27:46.into some form. There wasn't much to try and save here, wasn't there?
:27:47. > :27:51.Swann lasted half an hour. Batting is the connection of thought process
:27:52. > :27:54.and technique, so often in Adelaide the English thinking seemed
:27:55. > :28:00.scrambled. In truth, the cause had been lost days before. Matt Prior
:28:01. > :28:08.out for 69. Another ball wall lopped into Australian hands. 312 all out
:28:09. > :28:11.Panesar fell. It begins with the batsman and right at the top with
:28:12. > :28:17.England's captain. I need to score more runs. We all
:28:18. > :28:21.do. That first - there are only so many times you can tell the lads. If
:28:22. > :28:25.you are not delivering, it makes it harder. I am there at the top of the
:28:26. > :28:31.order as a batter. These last two gamesvy not scored enough runs. --
:28:32. > :28:36.games I have not scored enough runs. Is England's golden era coming to a
:28:37. > :28:42.halt? It is all beginning to unravel. We have had three series we
:28:43. > :28:45.have won comfortably. We'll get stopped in this one. I don't think
:28:46. > :28:50.the mind is right. I don't think they are there as a team. The next
:28:51. > :28:57.Test Match starts on Friday - the 13th, in Perth, where England have a
:28:58. > :29:02.grim record. Sound encouraging! Then the Ashes really will be gone!
:29:03. > :29:07.Time for a look at the et wither now.
:29:08. > :29:16.-- weather now. It is quiet out there thanks to high
:29:17. > :29:20.pressure. The amount of cloud we see from place to place will vary
:29:21. > :29:25.day-to-day. We are looking at some fog patches over the next few
:29:26. > :29:29.nights. The best of today's sunshine is across England and Wales. In the
:29:30. > :29:35.Bay of Biscay we have cloud which will be drawn northwards on the
:29:36. > :29:39.prevailing winds. That will bring cloudier weather across England and
:29:40. > :29:42.Wales tomorrow. The main message is, enjoy the best of the sunshine
:29:43. > :29:46.whilst it is available across southern England. Plenty of sunshine
:29:47. > :29:50.here throughout the afternoon. There'll be quite a bit of cloud
:29:51. > :29:56.across the hills of Wales and blowing inland. Mist and low cloud
:29:57. > :30:00.affecting the Midlands. In Northern Ireland, brightening up. Antrim and
:30:01. > :30:06.Down looking good with some sunshine. Some of the warmest
:30:07. > :30:10.weather is around the Murray Firth. Temperatures have reached 13 Celsius
:30:11. > :30:15.here during the afternoon. Overnight we will see that lump of
:30:16. > :30:18.cloud I showed you on the satellite moving in across England and Wales.
:30:19. > :30:22.It will stay cloudy over Northern Ireland and Scotland. Winds touching
:30:23. > :30:26.gale force in the north and west. For most of us though, this cloud
:30:27. > :30:30.means it will not get too cold. One exception will be really across East
:30:31. > :30:35.Anglia and south-east England, where skis are expected to stay clearest
:30:36. > :30:41.longest. In the countryside, cold enough for a nip of frost.
:30:42. > :30:46.Down to minus two in Kent and Sussex, maybe into Surrey as well.
:30:47. > :30:48.Tomorrow, the cloud thickening up for Northern Ireland and western
:30:49. > :30:54.Scotland. Damp weather working in here. The warmest around the Murray
:30:55. > :30:59.Firth. Could reach 14 Celsius here during the afternoon. The best of
:31:00. > :31:05.any sunshine across East Anglia and south-east England. Mist and fog
:31:06. > :31:09.could develop across southern parts. Some of that mist and fog could
:31:10. > :31:15.linger into Wednesday, with light winds. This area of high pressure on
:31:16. > :31:17.the scene. Apart from the mist and fog patches, actually there should
:31:18. > :31:20.be sunshine across England and Wales. Not a bad looking day across
:31:21. > :31:29.Northern Ireland. So, the weather will be quiet over
:31:30. > :31:32.the next few days. The cloud will vary from day-to-day. Across the
:31:33. > :31:38.other side of the Atlantic though, we have an early season cold blast.
:31:39. > :31:41.They've had some snowy weather and liquid rain, which has a temperature
:31:42. > :31:44.below zero.
