:01:42. > :01:44.BBC News At One. Thousands of public sector workers learned today how
:01:45. > :01:48.much of a pay rise they will be getting next year. For the vast
:01:49. > :01:52.majority of people, doctors, nurses, members of the Armed Forces
:01:53. > :01:57.and civil servants, it will mean a below inflation pay rise of 1%. Some
:01:58. > :02:01.top managers will not receive anything at all. The government says
:02:02. > :02:04.it needs to keep wage rises low as a way of sorting out the public
:02:05. > :02:10.finances. But some unions are already warning of strike action.
:02:11. > :02:14.Here is our political correspondent, Ross Hawkins.
:02:15. > :02:19.NHS pay will go up, but by less than many expected. Official advisers
:02:20. > :02:24.said workers like these should get a regular increase and a 1% pay rise.
:02:25. > :02:28.Ministers disagreed. Staff will get one come all the other, but not
:02:29. > :02:31.both. It is right to take these difficult decisions because it means
:02:32. > :02:35.we can keep more people employed, we can keep more people in work and we
:02:36. > :02:39.can make sure we spend money on vital treatments, on hospitals and
:02:40. > :02:43.on delivering services, which is what patients badly want. It means
:02:44. > :02:50.NHS Trusts in England will get either a 1% pay rise from April and
:02:51. > :02:53.2% the year after, or, that in curing -- that incremental
:02:54. > :02:59.regularise, received by about half the stuff. 400 senior management
:03:00. > :03:02.will get nothing. Unions are talking to their members about strike
:03:03. > :03:09.action. For the bottom, lowest people paid -- lowest paid people in
:03:10. > :03:15.the NHS, this 1% is worth ?150 a year, less than ?3 per week to the
:03:16. > :03:19.lowest paid in the NHS. It is a scandal. The Treasury has long since
:03:20. > :03:24.said it wants to save money by cutting back on the incremental pay
:03:25. > :03:29.rises. Now we know how its plans will work in the NHS in England. But
:03:30. > :03:34.after a two year pay freeze, it has got a fight on its hands. Other
:03:35. > :03:40.staff, including the Armed Forces and Prison Service workers and even
:03:41. > :03:44.judges will get a 1% rise. And the Treasury. Topping up pension funds
:03:45. > :03:49.for teachers, civil servants and the NHS, that means employers like
:03:50. > :03:53.schools, NHS Trusts does other government departments, will have to
:03:54. > :03:59.pick up a ?1 billion bill between them instead. One union said that
:04:00. > :04:03.added up to a con. In Scotland there will be more generous offer for
:04:04. > :04:07.health staff and in England a real struggle between ministers and
:04:08. > :04:11.unions over how much they should get and how their patient rise in
:04:12. > :04:14.future. Let's get the reaction from public
:04:15. > :04:18.sector workers themselves. More Northern Ireland has the highest
:04:19. > :04:22.proportion of public sector workers in the UK. Our Ireland correspondent
:04:23. > :04:25.was Buchler has been speaking to some of them.
:04:26. > :04:30.Shopping seems to cost more, spending seems to cut further into
:04:31. > :04:34.savings. At this supermarket in south Belfast, workers from both the
:04:35. > :04:37.public and private sectors were united. Bills are rising, while
:04:38. > :04:43.their wages are struggling to keep up. Things that were 20p cheaper two
:04:44. > :04:48.weeks ago, you go back and you look at the same product and it is 20p
:04:49. > :04:55.more expensive. Definitely, I am a student nurse and you are constantly
:04:56. > :05:00.on the breadline. This lasts about three days and costs ?30. That
:05:01. > :05:04.feeling of being tight for cash may well remain when she qualifies as a
:05:05. > :05:08.nurse. Northern Ireland has a particularly Lardner -- large number
:05:09. > :05:12.of people employed in the public sector. And NHS staff across the UK
:05:13. > :05:16.are among those who are worried about how they will cope with rising
:05:17. > :05:22.prices and the potential of just a 1% pay rise. It is hard to survive
:05:23. > :05:37.on a wage in Northern Ireland. Will 1% make a difference? Definitely
:05:38. > :05:40.not. It is tight at the minute. What did the MPs get as their pay rise?
:05:41. > :05:45.The government is determined what it might -- to make what it calls
:05:46. > :05:49.savings and the unions call cuts. Protests overpaid likely but this
:05:50. > :05:54.campaign to save jobs appears to have failed. Today, it was announced
:05:55. > :05:56.300 posts are being lost in Coleraine as the government closes
:05:57. > :06:03.Northern Ireland's driver and the lady see. The work is being
:06:04. > :06:07.centralised in Swansea but there will be no board jobs there. That is
:06:08. > :06:12.austerity. Today's announcement means some age and -- some NHS staff
:06:13. > :06:15.will not be paid as much as they were expecting and that has led to
:06:16. > :06:19.the threat of possible industrial action. Branwen Jeffreys is with me.
:06:20. > :06:24.There are so many levels and the NHS and this is a tight more corporation
:06:25. > :06:28.affront year. Absolutely, this is a pay deal that will not make many
:06:29. > :06:33.nurses happy, 1% is a real terms cut for them and people's budgets are
:06:34. > :06:37.being squeezed as we were hearing in that report. But the NHS walks a
:06:38. > :06:43.very fine line and hospital managements will also be worried.
:06:44. > :06:47.The pay bill is a huge part of the NHS budget, two thirds of what the
:06:48. > :06:52.NHS spends on our care is on paying for its staff. If you don't give
:06:53. > :06:56.staff a pay rise, you risk not being able to recruit enough, particularly
:06:57. > :06:59.as the economy lifts off, then we're back to hiring nurses from abroad.
:07:00. > :07:03.But if you give pay rises without getting them to work differently or
:07:04. > :07:08.do more, hospital managers are worried that they will not be a will
:07:09. > :07:12.to maintain the quality of care, so this is a difficult line for the NHS
:07:13. > :07:15.to tread. Branwen, thank you very much. Our chief political
:07:16. > :07:18.correspondent Norman Smith is in Westminster for us. The government
:07:19. > :07:24.says they need to do this, but the unions may suggest they are picking
:07:25. > :07:29.a fight. Today's settlement tells us just how perilous the public
:07:30. > :07:33.finances remain, despite the steady diet of better economic news we have
:07:34. > :07:39.had, because be in no doubt how extraordinarily tough this delays,
:07:40. > :07:42.with many many, many workers against seeing their pay like behind prices
:07:43. > :07:45.for the fourth year running, questions about whether their
:07:46. > :07:49.pensions are affordable with government departments being asked
:07:50. > :07:55.to find another ?1 billion to prop them up and at the presenter of this
:07:56. > :08:00.pay squeeze now is the NHS, a politically hugely emotive issue --
:08:01. > :08:03.at the epicentre. What is interesting is the reaction of the
:08:04. > :08:08.health service unions, who have threatened industrial action
:08:09. > :08:13.including strike action. You have to go back to the Winter of discontent
:08:14. > :08:17.in 1979 to find sustain industrial action in the health service. People
:08:18. > :08:22.don't do it because you put patients' lives at risk, but it
:08:23. > :08:26.tells you how angry the unions are and it raises the question is are we
:08:27. > :08:32.in your four reaching the outer limits of public sector acceptance
:08:33. > :08:37.of austerity? The supermarket chain Morrisons has
:08:38. > :08:42.announced losses of ?176 million for last year, that is down from a
:08:43. > :08:45.profit of 879 million pounds the year before. The firm says it will
:08:46. > :08:50.massively overhauled how it operates and is going to refocus its business
:08:51. > :08:54.to take on discount supermarkets like Aldi and Lidl. Shares in
:08:55. > :09:01.Morrisons have fallen sharply this morning. Emma Simpson reports.
:09:02. > :09:05.Good morning. Morrisons have spared no expense promoting its fresh
:09:06. > :09:10.produce, but today, it plunged into the red. It has been hit by some
:09:11. > :09:14.exceptional costs of nearly ?1 billion, but the underlying picture
:09:15. > :09:19.is also grown. With cut-throat competition, this supermarket is
:09:20. > :09:23.being squeezed. There are big structural shifts going on in the
:09:24. > :09:28.market. Some of the biggest changes for two generations as people shop
:09:29. > :09:32.differently, online, convenience and discounters, which customers see us
:09:33. > :09:34.small supermarkets and today, we are taking the bold decision to ensure
:09:35. > :09:39.that we are giving our customers the very best price and we are prepared
:09:40. > :09:45.to put our money where our mouth is and invest in it. That investment
:09:46. > :09:50.adds up to ?1 billion over the next three years and cutting prices and
:09:51. > :09:55.improving stores come to win back customers. It is a big shift, but it
:09:56. > :10:01.will also mean Morrisons' profits taking a huge hit. Here is where it
:10:02. > :10:05.all began, when a young edit and butter seller, William Morrison,
:10:06. > :10:10.graduated from his market stall to the first shop Bradford but a
:10:11. > :10:15.century later Morrisons seems to have forgotten its roots. They have
:10:16. > :10:20.lost customer with -- they have lost touch with the store customer base.
:10:21. > :10:23.In 2005 they would have been ranked for value above ASDA, but they have
:10:24. > :10:29.been moving upmarket, making their fresh food more fancy than it ought
:10:30. > :10:33.to be. This is where most of its customers have ended up, the
:10:34. > :10:37.discounters. If you want something and it is right, you will pay the
:10:38. > :10:42.price. There is no point paying the price for the sake of it. Prices
:10:43. > :10:47.mainly at once we had been we started coming again. These are the
:10:48. > :10:51.up and coming supermarkets at the moment. Morrisons is now fighting
:10:52. > :10:55.back, with a dramatic change of course. That has hit other
:10:56. > :11:04.supermarket shares today, as fears of an all-out price war take hold.
:11:05. > :11:08.An enquiry into the deaths of 16 men in a North Sea helicopter crash has
:11:09. > :11:12.concluded that the accident might have been prevented. 14 oil workers
:11:13. > :11:18.and two crew died when the Bond Super Puma crashed into the water
:11:19. > :11:20.off the Aberdeenshire coast in 2009. Relatives of those who died have
:11:21. > :11:26.called for a criminal prosecution and full public enquiry. Our
:11:27. > :11:29.Scotland correspondent Lorna Gordon reports.
:11:30. > :11:32.It should have been a routine journey, but five years ago this
:11:33. > :11:37.helicopter, returning from a platform in the North Sea, plummeted
:11:38. > :11:42.into the water. All on board died. It has been a long wait for their
:11:43. > :11:46.relatives, still grieving, still waiting for answers. We relive this
:11:47. > :11:51.every day. This is not something that will go away. The length of
:11:52. > :11:57.weight of nearly five years has been intolerable for all the families and
:11:58. > :12:01.we, the families, feel let down by the system. Much of the wreckage was
:12:02. > :12:04.recovered from the sea bed. There has been multiple investigations
:12:05. > :12:08.into what happened. It was discovered that a catastrophic
:12:09. > :12:14.failure of the gay box caused main rotors to break away. -- the
:12:15. > :12:16.gearbox. Now today Fatal Accident Inquiry has concluded it is possible
:12:17. > :12:20.the deaths might have been avoided if it were not for a number of
:12:21. > :12:25.failures by the helicopter's operators, bond. They failed to
:12:26. > :12:29.perform a specific maintenance task and failed to ensure their
:12:30. > :12:33.communications with the manufacture, Eurocopter, followed procedures. We
:12:34. > :12:37.know there were mistakes and we have put those mistakes right. There
:12:38. > :12:41.remains no conclusive evidence that any mistake did lead to the
:12:42. > :12:45.accident. There has been five helicopter crashes in the North Sea
:12:46. > :12:50.in as many years. Relatives today said each time they hear the news,
:12:51. > :12:56.the memories come flooding back. Every time there is a helicopter
:12:57. > :12:59.crash, we ask, why? I don't know why these things keep falling out of the
:13:00. > :13:02.sky and I don't know what we can put in place to prevent these things
:13:03. > :13:10.happening again, but the sooner, the better, as far as I am concerned. No
:13:11. > :13:14.have been announced to improve the safety of helicopters flying into

:13:42. > :13:45.disappeared last Saturday, an hour after taking off. In the words of
:13:46. > :13:49.one minister, the plane has vanished. This morning, the Malaysia

:14:15. > :14:18.possible aircraft debris but now the Malaysians say it was published in

:14:25. > :14:28.theory was also not -- knocked back by the Malaysia authorities today. A
:14:29. > :14:33.total lack of information after so long has raised questions about
:14:34. > :14:39.their openness. Malaysia has nothing to hide. We have spared no expense
:14:40. > :14:43.and no effort. From day one, we have been in regular contact with our

:14:51. > :14:52.To help. We have followed protocols as stipulated by the International
:14:53. > :14:58.civil aviation organisation since the incident began. At the
:14:59. > :15:02.well-wishers' wall they have put up at Kuala Lumpur Airport, they are
:15:03. > :15:07.starting to run out of space for all the messages of sympathy. It is hard
:15:08. > :15:12.to accept that such a huge airliner can simply Fach -- vanish in an era
:15:13. > :15:16.when technology seems to have" of our planet to scrutiny, yet other
:15:17. > :15:23.air accidents took months, even years to explain. In time, this

:15:34. > :15:36.believe and hope. Public sector workers are told they'll get a

:16:26. > :16:28.marriage equality in England and Wales but, as yet, there's no way
:16:29. > :16:34.for people to convert a civil partnership into a marriage. Simon
:16:35. > :16:38.Clemison reports. When it was a busy fishing port,
:16:39. > :16:42.marriage and Hull was about men going to see and women staying at
:16:43. > :16:48.home. But over the years, the fleets have left the city's docs. Marriage
:16:49. > :16:52.is about to become more than something for just men and women.
:16:53. > :16:55.Today, the stepdaughter of one month and her girlfriend will go to the
:16:56. > :17:02.Guildhall to formally give notice of their wedding in two weeks time. So,
:17:03. > :17:10.Sammy and Jenna, we are back at the pub where you first met. You are
:17:11. > :17:15.going to get married now? Yes, five years to the day when we first met.
:17:16. > :17:19.They told me as young girls they never dreamt of walking down the
:17:20. > :17:28.aisle, it was not their thing. It is now. Do you want matching rings?
:17:29. > :17:32.Yes, we want matching rings. Whichever one they choose, it will
:17:33. > :17:37.be a wedding ring. Up until now, couples like Sammy and Jenna have
:17:38. > :17:41.been able to become civil partners which will give them rights but not
:17:42. > :17:50.the right to say they are married. I like that one. We originally booked
:17:51. > :17:56.a civil partnership that they had all changed. You wanted to get
:17:57. > :18:00.married, why was that? It is the principle of the matter. Men and
:18:01. > :18:06.women have that right. It is an equality thing? Yes, we are
:18:07. > :18:11.basically saying we are equal to them. Jenna and Sammy's families
:18:12. > :18:15.will play a role in their big day. For Sammy's sister, putting
:18:16. > :18:23.relationships on an equal footing is important. It is something
:18:24. > :18:28.campaigners say is welcomed. How are you feeling? I am excited. It is
:18:29. > :18:34.important for my brother to have a wife and for my sister to have a
:18:35. > :18:40.wife. For people to say that? Guests. So this is the first
:18:41. > :18:48.registration of Earth wedding in Hull. History was made in 1837. And
:18:49. > :18:56.eventually there will be Mrs and Mrs Middleton. Marriage at the moment is
:18:57. > :19:00.referred to as a union between one man and one woman. After the changes
:19:01. > :19:06.implement it we will refer to it as a union between two people. What
:19:07. > :19:09.about all the people who are already joined together in civil
:19:10. > :19:16.partnerships? What if they wanted to marry but had to do what the Lawro
:19:17. > :19:19.rout at the time? They can convert their civil partnership into a
:19:20. > :19:22.marriage but that will not be possible until the end of the year.
:19:23. > :19:28.Civil partnerships are still recognised in law but you cannot
:19:29. > :19:33.have both. There was significant opposition to the new law from some
:19:34. > :19:38.MPs and churches. Jenna and Sammy said is partly for the rights that
:19:39. > :19:42.have been one that they will say their vows a week on Saturday.

:19:45. > :19:48.families who lose a child after heart surgery are treated with
:19:49. > :19:51.compassion. A report into the experiences of relatives at Leeds
:19:52. > :19:53.General Infirmary said there was "a tragic lack of communication,
:19:54. > :19:58.compassion and sometimes basic kindness". The hospital has been the
:19:59. > :20:01.subject of a year long review, after surgery was suspended at its
:20:02. > :20:11.children's heart unit because of concerns over the number of deaths.
:20:12. > :20:17.Almost a year ago, the children's heart surgery unit in Leeds was
:20:18. > :20:21.plunged into crisis. Surgery was suspended after safety concerns were
:20:22. > :20:25.raised with NHS England. The unit was allowed to resume work but
:20:26. > :20:30.abroad enquiry was set up in two patients' deaths and how complaints
:20:31. > :20:34.were handled. Today's report confirms the unit is safe and
:20:35. > :20:39.running well. But there were problems found with the care of the
:20:40. > :20:43.216 families and their children. It is devastating and shocking and I
:20:44. > :20:48.would offer a sincere heartfelt apology to every single one of those
:20:49. > :20:54.families who experienced that care and who were courageous enough to
:20:55. > :20:58.come forward. The testimony of the 16 families is heart-rending. The
:20:59. > :21:03.report details how to time of extraordinary distress, they
:21:04. > :21:06.experienced a lack of compassion, poor handling and badly handled
:21:07. > :21:10.complaints. NHS England say new standards are needed to ensure

:21:15. > :21:18.effective delivery of health care we cannot just be technicians, we have
:21:19. > :21:24.to be more human about our approach and look at the context that
:21:25. > :21:27.families are treated in. For the hundreds of families who were
:21:28. > :21:32.treated at this hospital, just a small number had a bad experience.
:21:33. > :21:35.But the report says every single one of them had the right to expect the
:21:36. > :21:38.highest possible standards of care and their stories need to be heard
:21:39. > :21:42.and acted upon. It is the ninth day of the trial of
:21:43. > :21:46.Oscar Pistorius - accused of the murder of his girlfriend Reeva
:21:47. > :21:49.Steenkamp. Today the court has been hearing more of the forensic
:21:50. > :21:56.details. Our Africa correspondent Andrew Harding is at the court in
:21:57. > :22:03.Pretoria. There was drama as some of the photographs of the crime scene
:22:04. > :22:08.appeared? In deed. We got our first detailed tour of the crime scene
:22:09. > :22:14.itself, courtesy of the first police others who arrived at the scene. He
:22:15. > :22:19.described walking into Pistorius' house. He found the athlete in his
:22:20. > :22:23.kitchen but pacing up and down and unable to talk. He described going
:22:24. > :22:27.into the hole and seeing Reeva Steenkamp's body lying on the
:22:28. > :22:33.ground, covered in towels and plastic bags. Another witness had
:22:34. > :22:39.tried to staunch the flow of blood. Then photographs followed the
:22:40. > :22:44.detective as he walked up the stairs, bloodstains on the stairs
:22:45. > :22:48.and on the landing, into the master bedroom and the bathroom itself. We
:22:49. > :22:53.saw the smashed down toilet door behind which Reeva Steenkamp had
:22:54. > :22:58.been killed. We saw the bloodied cricket bat which Oscar Pistorius
:22:59. > :23:01.had used to smash it. We saw cellphones and four bullet
:23:02. > :23:05.cartridges which the prosecution may suggest the position of which backs
:23:06. > :23:10.up their case that Oscar Pistorius did not shoot Reeva Steenkamp by
:23:11. > :23:15.accident. At this stage, we are looking more at the details, Ness at
:23:16. > :23:19.the arguments between prosecution and defence. Thank you.

:23:40. > :23:42.In the United States, a dramatic car chase in Colorado State ended with a
:23:43. > :23:46.police officer in hospital and a 29-year-old man under arrest. The
:23:47. > :23:49.chase, which was filmed a by a news helicopter, began when a car was
:23:50. > :23:56.hijacked with a young child in the back. Jon Brain reports.
:23:57. > :24:02.As rush hours go, this was one of the more eventful. Ryan Stone's
:24:03. > :24:08.third and final crash on the morning commute. The 28-year-old had begun
:24:09. > :24:13.his journey by stealing this red minivan. The owner's four-year-old
:24:14. > :24:17.boy was in the back-seat. A few miles down the freeway, he clearly
:24:18. > :24:21.felt it was time for a change and swapped for a newer model. After
:24:22. > :24:27.being forced to abandon the vehicle, one terrified passenger ran
:24:28. > :24:32.for safety. The driver was left the roadside. Traffic officers through
:24:33. > :24:36.tyre shredders onto the highway as he continued. Racing down the wrong
:24:37. > :24:41.side of the road, successfully evading all attempts to stop him.
:24:42. > :24:47.Soon, he was crashing into another car, before speeding off again. Then
:24:48. > :24:53.another vehicle exchange. This time, the driver tried to resist. His
:24:54. > :24:58.attempt at a fourth carjacking was thwarted by the close proximity of
:24:59. > :25:03.the police. Sten calculated he might be better off continuing his journey
:25:04. > :25:07.on foot. Wanted on drugs charges and with a string of previous
:25:08. > :25:11.convictions, rhinestone's desperation not to be caught was
:25:12. > :25:17.perhaps understandable, but it all ended here, 75 miles from where it
:25:18. > :25:21.began. He was finally captured. A police spokesman said it had been a
:25:22. > :25:26.strange and crazy morning in Colorado.
:25:27. > :25:29.A service has been held this morning at Westminster Abbey to celebrate
:25:30. > :25:32.the life and work of Sir David Frost. Sir Michael Parkinson, BBC
:25:33. > :25:35.Director General Lord Hall, and Joanna Lumley were among those
:25:36. > :25:39.paying tribute to the broadcaster who died in August aged 74. The
:25:40. > :25:42.Prince of Wales has laid flowers on a memorial stone dedicated to Sir
:25:43. > :25:54.David near Poets' Corner. David Sillito is there.
:25:55. > :25:58.The bells are still ringing out. If you go to the south transept, in
:25:59. > :26:03.among names like Byron, Keats and Shelley, among them, a new name, Sir
:26:04. > :26:15.David Frost. A memorial here at Westminster Abbey is a rare honour.
:26:16. > :26:20.Hello, good evening and welcome. It is the final resting place of our
:26:21. > :26:26.kings and queens, a space to honour poets and today, a broadcaster and
:26:27. > :26:29.friend to many, many famous names. This is my commandment, that you
:26:30. > :26:41.love one another as I have loved you. He was a very kind and gentle
:26:42. > :26:49.man. Very astute. Clever, sharp, Rich. A good man. The memorial stone
:26:50. > :26:53.lies feet away from Byron, Shakespeare and Dickens. Illustrious
:26:54. > :26:58.company, but there again, for anyone who had been to one of his parties,
:26:59. > :27:01.what else would you expect? These people will remember the legendary
:27:02. > :27:08.garden parties where you would see the Archbishop of Canterbury talking
:27:09. > :27:10.to one a Corbett, Esther Rantzen talking to Bill Clinton. Then he
:27:11. > :27:17.would say, had he met the Pinochets? Celebration of 50 years
:27:18. > :27:26.in television. The congregation were a Who's Who of celebrity politics.
:27:27. > :27:31.Many had a good reason to be here. Ronnie and I had a drink with David.
:27:32. > :27:42.As a result, Ronnie went into the Frost report. Shall I compare the
:27:43. > :27:51.two Sir Robin Day? To end, some political satire. And watching as
:27:52. > :27:57.people leave, it is extraordinary, so many famous names and famous
:27:58. > :28:03.faces. It feels as though the whole history of TV -- the whole 50 years
:28:04. > :28:07.of TV history is walking past us at the moment.
:28:08. > :28:11.Three rare tiger cubs have been born at London Zoo. Sumatran tigress
:28:12. > :28:15.Melati gave birth to the triplets early in February. But keepers are
:28:16. > :28:19.now confident the cubs are healthy, so they've released these images of
:28:20. > :28:22.them, filmed by hidden camera. The sex of the cubs isn't yet known, as
:28:23. > :28:25.they've remained inside their special enclosure since they were
:28:26. > :28:32.born. The Sumatran tiger is listed as critically endangered, with only
:28:33. > :28:33.about 300 in existence. Time for a look at the weather, here's Stav
:28:34. > :28:47.Daneos. Hello. We had some very thick fog in
:28:48. > :28:51.places today. Through the course of the morning, this fog has been
:28:52. > :28:54.breaking away and we have seen plenty of sunshine developing. The
:28:55. > :28:59.satellite picture shows that quite nicely. There will be one or two
:29:00. > :29:08.patches around as we head through the afternoon. We have thicker cloud
:29:09. > :29:11.across Northern Ireland and Scotland. But weather front will
:29:12. > :29:20.produce some spit some spots of rain. Some outbreaks of rain
:29:21. > :29:27.stretching from Argyll to Angus and Aberdeenshire. For England and
:29:28. > :29:32.Wales, we are seeing mostly sunny skies at the moment. Some low cloud
:29:33. > :29:41.and fog patches hanging on through central areas. As we head into this
:29:42. > :29:46.evening and overnight, we see the mist and fog return with a
:29:47. > :29:52.vengeance. Across England and Wales in particular, some very dense
:29:53. > :30:00.patches lightly. In Northern Ireland the weather front is producing
:30:01. > :30:04.outbreaks of rain. It will be a cold one with the Frost and fog. There
:30:05. > :30:08.could be some difficult driving conditions into work tomorrow
:30:09. > :30:16.morning. Some possible travel disruption. A cold start for much of
:30:17. > :30:20.the country. The sun will get going and burned that fog away. We will
:30:21. > :30:28.also pick up a westerly breeze. Lots of sunshine around. In the
:30:29. > :30:35.south-east, you could see temperatures into the mid-teens. The
:30:36. > :30:39.all-important weekend. It looks like high pressure dominates so it will
:30:40. > :30:47.be dry for most areas. Some warm sunshine at times. There will be
:30:48. > :30:51.more of a breeze. You can see the area of high-pressure anchored
:30:52. > :30:58.across the Atlantic. If you weather front affecting the northern half of
:30:59. > :31:03.the country. Saturday will be cloudy. I am hopeful by Sunday we
:31:04. > :31:04.should see more in the way of sunshine, particularly in sheltered
:31:05. > :31:14.eastern areas. A reminder of our top story this
:31:15. > :31:18.lunchtime: Public sector workers are told they will get a below inflation
