:01:34. > :01:36.of four councils in Essex Good afternoon
:01:37. > :02:18.and welcome to the BBC News at One. It has been a good night for the UK
:02:19. > :02:25.Independence Party. For Labour, it was a mixed night. It
:02:26. > :02:29.suffered some setbacks in its heartlands in the north-east. The
:02:30. > :02:33.Tories lost control of some of their councils while the Lib Dems have
:02:34. > :02:37.lost a third of the councillors who stood for them. With about a third
:02:38. > :02:44.of the results and, UKIP have picked up a quarter of the vote. It has
:02:45. > :02:49.gained 93 seats, making significant gains in Essex. In Basildon, the
:02:50. > :02:55.party won 11 of the 15 seats available. In terms of councils,
:02:56. > :02:58.Labour have gained five, the Conservatives are down nine and the
:02:59. > :03:06.Liberal Democrats have lost two. The number of councils well no party is
:03:07. > :03:10.in overall control is up six. Iain Watson reports. He promised a
:03:11. > :03:18.political earthquake and even though Nigel Farage's party has not won
:03:19. > :03:22.control of a council, they have sent shock waves through the more
:03:23. > :03:27.established parties. They caused upsets from Essex to Yorkshire,
:03:28. > :03:33.depriving the Conservatives over overall control in Basildon and
:03:34. > :03:39.labour in Thurrock. It is just a protest vote is what they said. They
:03:40. > :03:46.said it in 2009, they said it East league, they it last year and after
:03:47. > :03:51.this result. It looks like a fairly permanent protest. There were calls
:03:52. > :03:55.from some conservatives for a pact that the general election but the
:03:56. > :03:59.Prime Minister dismissed this. We do not do pacts and deals. We are
:04:00. > :04:03.fighting for an all-out win at the next election. Last night, we lost
:04:04. > :04:08.some good councillors but our vote share was up from last year. One of
:04:09. > :04:17.the Council is the Conservatives lost was Croydon. They blamed UKIP.
:04:18. > :04:21.If you look at the Labour vote, it has not moved dramatically. What has
:04:22. > :04:26.happened is UKIP have taken votes of hours. I think there will be a lot
:04:27. > :04:30.of people waking up in Croydon today and finding they have got a Labour
:04:31. > :04:34.council because they voted UKIP. The clear winner of the council
:04:35. > :04:40.elections so far has been Labour. They performed particularly well in
:04:41. > :04:47.areas where UKIP are weak such as Cambridge and London. They
:04:48. > :04:53.recognised -- the Labour leader recognised UKIP posed a challenge.
:04:54. > :04:58.They have made a change happen from Croydon, to Hastings and Cambridge.
:04:59. > :05:01.We have seen some people turning to UKIP and I'm determined that over
:05:02. > :05:07.the next year we persuade them that we can change their lives for the
:05:08. > :05:12.better. So far, Labour's vote is only up three points. The
:05:13. > :05:17.Conservatives have lost more than 100 councillors. They have some
:05:18. > :05:26.consolation, seeing Labour off in Lipton -- Swindon. It is never easy
:05:27. > :05:31.to see dedicated hard-working Liberal Democrat councillors lose
:05:32. > :05:34.ground. In the areas where we have MPs, where we have good
:05:35. > :05:40.organisational Underground, we can get our message across, we're
:05:41. > :05:42.actually doing well. Based on their performance in the council
:05:43. > :05:47.elections, UKIP are confident of doing well when the results of the
:05:48. > :05:50.European election are announced on Sunday night. If they send more
:05:51. > :05:53.tremors through the political establishment then the more
:05:54. > :05:58.traditional parties will have to decide how to respond. Should they
:05:59. > :06:03.move closer to UKIP's territory on Europe and immigration or should
:06:04. > :06:06.they stand their ground? After their successes, the UKIP
:06:07. > :06:13.leader Nigel Farage said the party was now a serious player in next
:06:14. > :06:15.year's general election. Our local government correspondent Mike
:06:16. > :06:22.Sergeant is in South Ockenden in Essex. Nigel Farage was here a few
:06:23. > :06:27.hours ago. He has gone a few miles up the road for that standard UKIP
:06:28. > :06:32.celebration, a pint in the local pub. UKIP's gains in Essex and other
:06:33. > :06:37.parts of the country have shown the problem is that UKIP is starting to
:06:38. > :06:45.cause for the Conservatives and for Labour.
:06:46. > :06:50.In parts of Essex, UKIP stunned the established parties, 11 new seats in
:06:51. > :06:57.Basildon. One of the scalps they took was that of Tory council leader
:06:58. > :07:03.Tony Ball. He rose to national prominence in the struggle to evict
:07:04. > :07:08.travellers from Dale farm. What is your message to the Conservative
:07:09. > :07:11.Party leadership now? I think they have got to take UKIP seriously and
:07:12. > :07:17.tackle what Nigel Farage and UKIP are saying. There is no doubt that
:07:18. > :07:22.all the main political parties have not tackled UKIP at all well.
:07:23. > :07:27.Basildon is half an hour from London on the train that a world away from
:07:28. > :07:32.the politics of Westminster. I think basically England should be for the
:07:33. > :07:37.English. That is why you have voted for UKIP? Yes, there are too many
:07:38. > :07:42.foreigners here. We should shut the doors. Enough is enough. I think
:07:43. > :07:48.they have got too much to say about this country, the EU. That is the
:07:49. > :07:55.big issue in Basildon? It is the big issue for me, anyway, and of course,
:07:56. > :07:59.the immigrants. Say no more on that one. The performance of UKIP is
:08:00. > :08:03.starting to alter the political balance of local government in
:08:04. > :08:08.England. It used to be said the party talked the talk but did not
:08:09. > :08:12.deliver in council elections. Not any more. Political times are
:08:13. > :08:16.changing, not just in Basildon. From here, out across Essex and well
:08:17. > :08:21.beyond, there are places where the UKIP message seems to have had
:08:22. > :08:27.resonance. There was success in Thurrock as well. That is where
:08:28. > :08:31.Nigel Farage headed to celebrate. In Rotherham, the party took several
:08:32. > :08:36.feet of Labour and the Tories. But the UKIP story has not been without
:08:37. > :08:41.its arms and glitches. There was an overnight debate in Basingstoke
:08:42. > :08:47.between two UKIP representatives over whether one is actually a
:08:48. > :08:52.candidate. Refreshingly open party of straight talkers or a shaky
:08:53. > :08:56.alliance of the angry and disaffected? UKIP is certainly
:08:57. > :09:00.shaking up politics. UKIP is not popular everywhere. It
:09:01. > :09:04.still does not have outright control of any councils. In local elections
:09:05. > :09:09.last year and this year, it is starting to build up a significant
:09:10. > :09:14.number of councillors in some areas. If the parties to advance further,
:09:15. > :09:18.these new local bases of power will be very significant. Back to you.
:09:19. > :09:25.Labour have had their biggest success in London. Our correspondent
:09:26. > :09:30.Tim Donovan is in Barnet. This was a prime target for the party?
:09:31. > :09:36.It was indeed. Labour have had an incredible night for them in London.
:09:37. > :09:41.It is not a new trend. They did well in the general election in 2010.
:09:42. > :09:48.David Cameron said he won in London. In 2012 day ran ahead of
:09:49. > :09:52.their candidate Ken Livingstone. There are a number of factors about
:09:53. > :09:55.why this has happened, concern at austerity, protest that benefit
:09:56. > :10:00.changes, there is a lack of affordable housing in London. And
:10:01. > :10:06.perhaps wider than that, something more intangible which is a gradual
:10:07. > :10:10.democratic shift in London. Younger, perhaps more diverse and we will see
:10:11. > :10:15.later whether they have managed to take their final big target of
:10:16. > :10:20.Barnet where I am. But perhaps those reasons are the kind of reasons
:10:21. > :10:25.which explain why UKIP have not got much further than the boundaries of
:10:26. > :10:28.London. Thank you. We can speak now to Jeremy Vine who
:10:29. > :10:36.has been taking a closer look at the numbers.
:10:37. > :10:41.Welcome to our election studio. We have been looking at the council
:10:42. > :10:45.results coming in. We have had about half of them now. I will colour my
:10:46. > :10:53.map in. What is the situation at this point? I can tell you, Labour
:10:54. > :10:57.are leading. Here they are. Their percentage, 33 we reckon. The
:10:58. > :11:04.Conservatives in second place on 27%. 16% for the Lib Dems. In fourth
:11:05. > :11:10.place, a really strong performance from UKIP as you have been hearing,
:11:11. > :11:19.15%. The Green Party on 7% and then the others. We will look at the
:11:20. > :11:25.change since 2010. Labour did very badly under Gordon Brown. They are
:11:26. > :11:31.only up 3%. The Conservatives are down on that collection
:11:32. > :11:36.performance. The Lib Dems are badly down. UKIP again surging through
:11:37. > :11:41.powerfully. Maybe more telling if I show you change since 2012. Labour
:11:42. > :11:48.and Ed Miliband were really starting to motor. What is the difference?
:11:49. > :11:53.Since that year, two years on, they have gone down. Labour seem to be
:11:54. > :11:58.going backwards on some measures. The Conservatives are static. That
:11:59. > :12:03.is not much good for them. The Liberal Democrats are down and once
:12:04. > :12:07.again the purple column shows UKIP surging up 11%. There is one ray of
:12:08. > :12:13.light for Labour in these local elections. You can see this map. It
:12:14. > :12:19.is England but also the 32 London boroughs over here and there, Labour
:12:20. > :12:27.are doing very well. I will flash the gains. This is where control has
:12:28. > :12:33.changed. Croydon and Merton and Hammersmith and Fulham are going to
:12:34. > :12:40.read. Redbridge, appropriately, also turning red-macro. If you look at
:12:41. > :12:47.London, it is better news for Labour. Overall, nothing for them to
:12:48. > :12:52.write home about. Nothing for the Conservatives. It is all UKIP in
:12:53. > :12:57.lots and lots of places. Thank you. We can speak to our political editor
:12:58. > :13:02.Nick Robinson. Nigel Farage promised an earthquake. Is that what we are
:13:03. > :13:07.seeing? We are certainly seeing the ground shaking under the feet of the
:13:08. > :13:11.big parties. The Tories find themselves losing votes, losing
:13:12. > :13:16.councillors and council is because people they often regarded as like
:13:17. > :13:20.them, part of the wider Conservative family. We will see the result of
:13:21. > :13:26.the European vote on Sunday night, Monday morning. Labour are feeling
:13:27. > :13:31.the pain. They are having to lick wounds with UKIP challenging them in
:13:32. > :13:35.their northern heartlands. UKIP denying them victories in the
:13:36. > :13:38.crucial battle ground of the West Midlands. Voters are disaffected
:13:39. > :13:44.with the coalition and bypassing them all together and going straight
:13:45. > :13:48.to UKIP in places like Essex. All the Liberal Democrats can do is sit
:13:49. > :13:54.and stare and say, those were our protest votes. Now, it is not asked
:13:55. > :13:59.that is a party of protest, it is not us who are on the rise, and the
:14:00. > :14:05.threat to the established order, it is Nigel Farage. There are still
:14:06. > :14:10.results to come. How do you think the parties will react? Listen hard
:14:11. > :14:14.to the interviews and you can hear the beginning of great debates in
:14:15. > :14:18.both parties, about how to react. The Tories will insist they simply
:14:19. > :14:21.have to deliver what they have already promised, tougher
:14:22. > :14:26.immigration control, European reform and on the economy as well. You
:14:27. > :14:30.heard the Basildon Council leader in the report a few minutes ago saying,
:14:31. > :14:34.we have got to do more. We cannot simply repeat what we are all doing.
:14:35. > :14:39.Equally, in the Labour Party, while they have stressed that they have to
:14:40. > :14:43.convince UKIP voters that they are the change, they can make the
:14:44. > :14:48.change. You heard the Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls stress they need
:14:49. > :14:54.a credible plan on reforming Europe, a credible plan on reducing
:14:55. > :14:58.immigration. As these results sink in, expect fractures to develop
:14:59. > :15:02.within the parties about what on earth they do. Thank you.
:15:03. > :15:06.And you can find all the results from your local area by going to the
:15:07. > :15:10.BBC News website. If you click on the lake to the latest news and
:15:11. > :15:22.results from your area, you will find update from councils across
:15:23. > :15:26.England. Social workers in Birmingham have closed cases.
:15:27. > :15:30.Between October and January the City Council closed the cases because of
:15:31. > :15:34.a lack of staff. It says that as of last month more than 400 Children in
:15:35. > :15:38.Need had still not had their case investigated. Our social affairs
:15:39. > :15:43.correspondent Michael Buchanan reports.
:15:44. > :15:47.All these children died after being let down by Birmingham Children's
:15:48. > :15:51.Services. Today's report shows they continued to fail. The latest
:15:52. > :15:56.indictment in a decade of failure. Osterloh, say the child protection
:15:57. > :16:01.in the city is inadequate. -- Ofsted say child protection is inadequate.
:16:02. > :16:05.The council closed 145 cases without assessing the risk children faced,
:16:06. > :16:10.due to a lack of social workers. 400 of the children had not had their
:16:11. > :16:14.cases looked at. Children were left at risk of significant harm for too
:16:15. > :16:22.long. The Ofsted report confirms what we were clear about. We are an
:16:23. > :16:25.inadequate council when it comes to child safeguarding. We have been for
:16:26. > :16:28.too long. There is nothing Ofsted presented we were not already aware
:16:29. > :16:31.of and when we they came to see as we raise some of those issues
:16:32. > :16:34.ourselves. More than a quarter of the population here are under 18,
:16:35. > :16:39.the highest proportion in Europe. But many are living in poverty. More
:16:40. > :16:43.than 800 children are on child protection plans. There are many
:16:44. > :16:47.entrenched problems in Birmingham that mailed child protection
:16:48. > :16:51.difficult. This area, for instance, has one of the highest levels of
:16:52. > :16:56.child poverty in England. But officials here should be doing
:16:57. > :16:59.better and they know that. The council are therefore investing
:17:00. > :17:03.nearly ?10 million this year, mainly to recruit social workers. Vacancy
:17:04. > :17:09.rates are high and many simply don't want to work in the city. There are
:17:10. > :17:12.challenges in terms of creating the right environment for social workers
:17:13. > :17:17.in Birmingham and we want to work in partnership to make sure that there
:17:18. > :17:19.are good working conditions. The priority is the children and
:17:20. > :17:24.families of this city and we need to make it work. The long-standing
:17:25. > :17:28.problems in Birmingham have already led to ministries sending a team of
:17:29. > :17:33.advisers to the city over three improvements. They say there are
:17:34. > :17:36.some positive signs and are clear -- under three year action plan has
:17:37. > :17:40.been drawn up. Birmingham will finally have to prove it is big to
:17:41. > :17:46.succeed when it comes to protecting its children.
:17:47. > :17:59.There have been big gains for UKIP in council elections. Nigel Farage
:18:00. > :18:00.says his party will be serious players in next year's general
:18:01. > :18:02.election. His remains were found
:18:03. > :18:05.in a Leicester car park but where will the last of the Plantagenet
:18:06. > :18:07.kings finally be buried? Scientists unveil the latest

:18:10. > :18:15.and a return to the Premier League It is one
:18:16. > :18:26.of the world's biggest killers - resulting in the deaths more than
:18:27. > :18:33.600,000 people last year alone - and The researchers writing
:18:34. > :18:38.in the journal Science developed an experimental vaccine
:18:39. > :18:41.for mice after studying a group Our science correspondent
:18:42. > :18:56.Rebecca Morelle has more. This is a common sight in hospitals
:18:57. > :19:00.in Africa. Where every minute a child dies from malaria. But
:19:01. > :19:04.scientists have found that some children are naturally resistant to
:19:05. > :19:08.the disease and they could hold the key to developing an effective
:19:09. > :19:13.vaccine. Tests have revealed that their immune system attacks the
:19:14. > :19:17.malaria, causing parasite. They produce an antibody that traps the
:19:18. > :19:20.tiny organism inside red blood cells, preventing it from bursting
:19:21. > :19:25.out and spreading throughout the body. Only about 6% of the children
:19:26. > :19:32.had this antibody and were resistant to severe malaria. They develop it
:19:33. > :19:36.naturally, through being exposed to parasites over the course of their
:19:37. > :19:39.lifetime, over the course of the two years of their life. Some of these
:19:40. > :19:43.children develop this protective response and the trick was finding
:19:44. > :19:47.what was the target of the antibody response. The team found that
:19:48. > :19:52.injecting a form of this antibody into mice protected the animals from
:19:53. > :19:59.malaria. It is early days, but a vaccine is much needed. Half of the
:20:00. > :20:03.world's population, that is 3.4 billion people, are at risk from
:20:04. > :20:09.malaria. There are more than 200 million cases reported each year.
:20:10. > :20:14.Which result in 600,000 deaths. 90% of these are in sub-Saharan Africa.
:20:15. > :20:18.But experts say they are optimistic. We have made incredible progress
:20:19. > :20:23.against malaria. We have seen child deaths from malaria cut by half over
:20:24. > :20:27.the last decade. With the current tools we have and the potential new
:20:28. > :20:31.tools like a vaccine in the pipeline, the possibility of being
:20:32. > :20:35.able to end malaria in my lifetime. That would be an amazing
:20:36. > :20:39.achievement. This latest study is one of many avenues being explored.
:20:40. > :20:43.The hope is that harnessing natural immunity could be a powerful weapon
:20:44. > :20:46.against this deadly disease. There are billions of barrels
:20:47. > :20:51.of oil trapped in shale rock beneath parts of Sussex, Hampshire
:20:52. > :20:53.and Kent in Southern England. Getting to it would mean using the
:20:54. > :20:58.controversial process of fracking. Our environment analyst
:20:59. > :21:08.Roger Harrabin reports. Imagine fracking rigs like this,
:21:09. > :21:12.dotted across southern England. Much of the Home Counties lies on
:21:13. > :21:17.oil-bearing shale rocks, suitable for fracking. This map, released by
:21:18. > :21:20.the British Geological Survey today, shows the extent of possible shale
:21:21. > :21:26.oil deposits stretching south of London, across the wheels basin of
:21:27. > :21:31.Kent and Sussex. Coaxing oil or gas from shale involves pumping water
:21:32. > :21:36.and sand to fracture rocks deep underground. We have a better
:21:37. > :21:39.estimate of how much oil is down there and it would be wrong in the
:21:40. > :21:43.interests of national energy security to ignore the potential for
:21:44. > :21:47.extracting more home-grown energy here, rather than importing oil from
:21:48. > :21:52.unreliable parts of the world. In the Home Counties and across the UK,
:21:53. > :21:56.house owners have been able to delay fracking until now through the law
:21:57. > :22:02.of Christmas. The government announced today that it will change
:22:03. > :22:05.that -- the law of trespass. But how safe is that technology? Stories of
:22:06. > :22:11.water taps polluted and as cakes have alarmed -- and earthquakes have

:22:19. > :22:21.have said fracking will cause a nuisance but will not cause
:22:22. > :22:25.pollution or earthquakes if it is done right. It can even slow climate

:22:42. > :22:46.Tests show that Britain's rocks do contain useful gas and oil. But the
:22:47. > :22:51.scientists don't know how much we can extract. The biggest barriers to
:22:52. > :22:55.a boom in fuels from shale in the UK are likely to be technical,
:22:56. > :23:05.financial and is today's report will prove, political.
:23:06. > :23:08.The search for four British sailors who've been missing in the Atlantic
:23:09. > :23:11.for a week will be called off in the early hours of tomorrow
:23:12. > :23:16.The US Coast Guard has told the families.
:23:17. > :23:21.Our correspondent Duncan Kennedy is in Southampton.
:23:22. > :23:26.This has been a difficult week for the families and the news that came
:23:27. > :23:29.in last night from the coastguard that they are to call off their
:23:30. > :23:32.searchlight will have come as something extremely painful but
:23:33. > :23:36.perhaps understandable. I have been speaking to a few of them today.
:23:37. > :23:41.They say they know why that decision has been taken and that while there
:23:42. > :23:45.is a search going on, there is still some hope.
:23:46. > :23:49.This new picture is the last known image of the four men taken just a
:23:50. > :23:54.few hours before they set sail one week ago today. They were heading
:23:55. > :24:02.home on this yacht, the Cheeki Rafiki, but managed trouble and lost
:24:03. > :24:06.contact. -- but ran into trouble. Late last night the US Coast Guard
:24:07. > :24:12.said the search would be suspended at the end of today. We have put our
:24:13. > :24:19.utmost efforts to find and rescue those in peril at sea. It is only
:24:20. > :24:24.after deepest consideration that we suspend active search efforts. The
:24:25. > :24:30.men's families say they appreciate the huge search operation that --
:24:31. > :24:34.and they understand it cannot be open-ended. We know they can't
:24:35. > :24:38.search for ever and we know they cannot survive forever but we have
:24:39. > :24:43.not given up hope yet. So while they are still searching, there is hope.
:24:44. > :24:49.Andrew Bridge, James Male, Paul Goslin and Steve Warren have been
:24:50. > :24:52.returning to Southampton. These BBC pictures show how calm conditions
:24:53. > :24:56.were yesterday and the weather is said to be good again today. But
:24:57. > :25:01.veteran seafarers save the end of the search is now in sight. I hope
:25:02. > :25:05.someone will stumble on them, I still hope we will, but I cannot
:25:06. > :25:11.blame the US Coast Guard for saying that is it, we have done all we can.
:25:12. > :25:14.This possible sighting of the's Keel came last weekend. There has been
:25:15. > :25:20.nothing since. This search operation now appears to be in its countdown
:25:21. > :25:24.face. So what will happen now is that
:25:25. > :25:28.American led search will continue for the rest of today, but if
:25:29. > :25:32.nothing is found it will come to an end in the early hours of our
:25:33. > :25:34.morning tomorrow morning. And RAF Hercules will continue for several
:25:35. > :25:41.hours after that and if then nothing is found, well, really this will be
:25:42. > :25:47.the sad end to the search for the men of the Cheeki Rafiki.
:25:48. > :25:49.The former BBC broadcaster Stuart Hall has been sentenced to
:25:50. > :25:52.an extra two years and six months in jail for two counts
:25:53. > :25:56.Hall, who's 84 and from Wilmslow in Cheshire, was found guilty
:25:57. > :25:59.of one count of indecent assault on 16 May in a majority jury

:26:22. > :26:28.In many ways the court room left Warrington and came to Sheffield
:26:29. > :26:32.Wednesday. The jurors have been on the pitch, opposite the West stand.
:26:33. > :26:35.They have been shown around pens three and four in the West Terrace,
:26:36. > :26:40.where Liverpool fans were crushed. They have been taken to the police
:26:41. > :26:44.box, where the match commander was that today, in 1989. They have been
:26:45. > :26:47.shown the gymnasium on the other side of this stadium, where
:26:48. > :26:52.Liverpool fans were taken, the injured and the dead, before that
:26:53. > :26:56.they came to this place by coach. When the coroner got onto the coach,
:26:57. > :27:02.he said this court is now in session. He has been speaking into a
:27:03. > :27:05.microphone. Every word he says is relayed into headphones that the
:27:06. > :27:09.jurors are wearing. They walked down the lane just outside the stadium.
:27:10. > :27:14.The coroner said, this is what the Liverpool fans did 25 years ago.
:27:15. > :27:19.Because this stadium has changed so much the perimeter fences and gates
:27:20. > :27:22.that were here in 1989 have now been marked out with these yellow cones
:27:23. > :27:28.and orange tape. It is important that the jurors understand this
:27:29. > :27:49.stadium, because is -- because it is the jurors themselves who will have
:27:50. > :27:57.to decide how the 96 fans died. Our correspondent Sian Lloyd has more.
:27:58. > :28:00.The result of the judicial review into the decision that King Richard
:28:01. > :28:08.III should be reinterred hearing Leicester Cathedral, the result is
:28:09. > :28:12.that it has gone Leicester's way. It is the result that the team in
:28:13. > :28:17.Leicester had waited 15 months for. They had found a king but risked
:28:18. > :28:19.losing him again after a group of distant relatives called the
:28:20. > :28:23.Plantagenet Alliance argued they should have a say on whether remains
:28:24. > :28:28.should be buried. But three High Court judges today dismissed the
:28:29. > :28:34.claim. The drama has been heightened. The tension has been
:28:35. > :28:40.raised. The joy and the relief is, well, what you would expect after
:28:41. > :28:43.waiting this long. This was the moment archaeologists found the
:28:44. > :28:49.remains of the last Plantagenet King beneath a car park in Leicester.
:28:50. > :28:54.They intended to rebury him at the cathedral nearby, but costly legal
:28:55. > :28:58.challenge but those plans on hold. Leicester really had everything to
:28:59. > :29:02.lose. They have already invested substantial amount of money
:29:03. > :29:07.preparing this Cathedral and the grounds for reinterred at. Befitting

:29:20. > :29:25.next spring. Let's have a look the weather.
:29:26. > :29:28.The weather forecast was never going to be straightforward. Showers for
:29:29. > :29:32.some of us, more sunshine for some others. The worst of the showers are
:29:33. > :29:38.clinging to the south coast. This afternoon it should brighten and
:29:39. > :29:41.quite considerably. Showers will target the south-west, Wales and
:29:42. > :29:45.Northern Ireland later in the day. Improved compared to yesterday for
:29:46. > :29:48.the Southeast and East Anglia and Scotland. This afternoon we have
:29:49. > :29:52.heavy, thundery downpours in prospect across parts of the
:29:53. > :29:56.south-west. A focus on the North Devon coast through the afternoon.
:29:57. > :29:59.For Wales, a lot of clout in general. Perhaps a few brighter
:30:00. > :30:03.spells. Still some heavy downpours and some of those fringing into
:30:04. > :30:07.northern England with more persistent cloud and drizzly rain. A
:30:08. > :30:12.largely fine afternoon in Northern Ireland, a bit of rain getting into
:30:13. > :30:15.the East. A lot of cloud and cool across northern Scotland and
:30:16. > :30:20.breezy. Much improved in the east after yesterday afternoon, with the
:30:21. > :30:22.rain and the gusty winds. For the north-east of England, Sunshine
:30:23. > :30:26.Coast to the coast and for the Southeast and East Anglia, I can't
:30:27. > :30:30.rule out the prospect of seeing a shower this afternoon. Overall a lot
:30:31. > :30:36.of dry weather. Sunny spells and highs of 19 - 20 Celsius. This
:30:37. > :30:39.evening, the rain will pull away from the south-west. Showers
:30:40. > :30:42.trailing over northern England and it is Northern Ireland where it will
:30:43. > :30:48.end the night, quite heavy in the earliest hours of Saturday.
:30:49. > :30:50.Elsewhere, a quieter story. But only briefly. From Northern Ireland the
:30:51. > :30:54.rain will clear through the morning and not a bad day to come. For
:30:55. > :30:57.England and Wales, if you are up first thing it could be. For you
:30:58. > :31:04.because widespread showers are what we are talking about through
:31:05. > :31:05.Saturday. A bit better in the south-east in the afternoon. I
:31:06. > :31:10.heavy, thundery downpours possible anywhere. Scotland and Northern
:31:11. > :31:13.Ireland are driest and brightest. For Sunday, everything pushes
:31:14. > :31:18.north. The showers head towards Scotland and Northern Ireland. Drier
:31:19. > :31:22.and brighter in England and Wales. For Bank Holiday Monday, hopefully
:31:23. > :31:25.driest day of the three for many areas although we are keeping a
:31:26. > :31:29.close eye on what could be heavy showers coming in from the east
:31:30. > :31:32.through the day. A lot of variation unfortunately in the certainty of
:31:33. > :31:36.the forecast as we get further into the Bank Holiday. It is worth
:31:37. > :31:42.keeping up-to-date. A little bit of everything but just about all of us
