Hello and welcome to the BBC News at One. | :01:46. | :01:47. | |
Ceremonies to mark the 70th anniversary of D-Day are | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
drawing thousands of visitors to the cemeteries, beaches and villages | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
Among those visitors are some of the few remaining survivors | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
of the largest sea-borne invasion ever mounted. | :02:00. | :02:00. | |
World leaders, including the Queen and President Obama, will gather to | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
honour those who gave their lives in the battle against the Nazis. | :02:05. | :02:13. | |
Events are taking place along the 50-mile stretch of the Normandy | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
coastline, where Allied troops landed on the 6th of June, 1944. | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
This is likely to be the last time a major anniversary is marked by large | :02:20. | :02:30. | |
numbers of veterans, most of whom are in their 90s. They have | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
travelled to these beaches where thousands of troops were killed to | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
pay their respects. Robert Hall has been to meet some of the survivors | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
of the Normandy battlefields. At the bridge which has become an icon for | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
the airborne divisions, the chief of The Parachute Regiment Laure -- | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
marked them loss of life during a surprise attack that was vital to | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
the D-Day plans. In the hours before the seaborne assault, 181 men | :02:55. | :03:01. | |
targeted bridges over which German reinforcements could threaten Allied | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
forces. The gliders landed in total darkness, within a few yards of what | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
is now known as Pegasus Bridge. Today, the Prince of Wales laid a | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
wreath in memory of what was described at the time of the finest | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
piece of airmanship of the war. The original bridge is now in the nearby | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
museum. The prince crossed its replacement to visit a cafe which is | :03:23. | :03:29. | |
still owned by a family who treated the wounded that night and who | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
welcome red beret is as their Rome. I was born into it and I'm part of | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
the history, as were my parents and sisters. It is a mission. In the | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
skies above, the rumble of Merlin engines heralded the arrival of the | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
Battle of Britain Memorial flight. More reminders for the dwindling | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
number of veterans still able to visit Normandy and reflect on their | :03:54. | :04:01. | |
experiences. I was 20 the next day. I didn't think I would see 20. In | :04:02. | :04:09. | |
the Navy you didn't get your top until you were 20. I'm representing | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
my grandad, James Walsh. He passed away two years September. We've come | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
to wear his medals. I'm honoured and proud to be wearing them. We were | :04:20. | :04:26. | |
brothers. You know where the phrase comes from, Lord Nelson. He was the | :04:27. | :04:33. | |
first one to braise us. A band of Brothers. It's true. Westwoods along | :04:34. | :04:41. | |
the beaches, Arromanches preparing to say its farewells to the Normandy | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
veterans Association. More than 200 of its members will hold their last | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
formal parade in the main square tomorrow evening. What ever their | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
physical limitations, the veterans now in Normandy have made it clear | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
they say this -- see this as a duty. They say as long as they are able, | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
as long as they have family and friends to help them, they will | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
return and they will remember. Robert Hall, BBC News, Pegasus | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
Bridge. 70 years ago, the focus of attention in the last hours leading | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
up to D-Day was across the Channel from here in Portsmouth. There | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
today, many veterans have gathered for a special service to mark the | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
anniversary of the Normandy landings, as Nick Higham now | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
reports. In the shadow of the naval war more real on the common, a | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
drumhead parade with a ceremonial guard of honour drawn from all three | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
services. In a centuries-old tradition, drummers hail their drums | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
to create a makeshift altar, a service to commemorate those killed | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
in the D-Day landings and to honour those who survived. The sacrifice | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
that was made to free Europe from tyranny 70 years ago is a vital | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
lesson for all of us, not just the military lessons we can learn from | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
the previous assault, but from the courage and professionalism of the | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
soldiers, sailors and airmen who took part. Among those veterans is | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
this man, 93, Royal Marine commando tasked on D-Day with capturing a | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
German radar station. A matter-of-fact hero. We charged up | :06:12. | :06:19. | |
the beach, cut the wires and the fences. Headed up towards the radar | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
station, a scuffle here and a scuffle there. We took over the | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
radar station. Anybody that didn't want to come along got shot. You | :06:29. | :06:35. | |
make it sound very easy? It was. This was the closest major port to | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
the invasion beaches and played an important role in the landings. | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
Portsmouth was just one of dozens of departure points all along the south | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
coast. Here, men embarked on to the landing craft from temporary jetties | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
built alongside South Parade Pier, on Southsea beach. For a time on | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
that morning 70 years ago, the supreme commander himself, General | :06:58. | :07:12. | |
Eisenhower, watched them go aboard. This morning, a Dutch assault ship | :07:13. | :07:14. | |
and the Royal Navy's HMS bulwark sailed close inshore to demonstrate | :07:15. | :07:16. | |
what the modern amphibious landing looks like. In some respects it's | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
not so very different from D-Day. Tonight, the ship will sail for | :07:20. | :07:21. | |
France carrying a band of D-Day veterans back to the Normandy | :07:22. | :07:27. | |
beaches. That arrival will herald a change of mood from the celebrations | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
that we can hear behind me, as the planes fly overhead... To the bands | :07:31. | :07:36. | |
that are going to be playing and the fireworks that of playing tonight. | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
Tomorrow, and much more sombre mood as people remember events of 70 | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
years ago. Live coverage of more D-Day anniversary events on the BBC | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
News channel throughout the afternoon and across the BBC | :07:50. | :07:58. | |
tomorrow. One of the Birmingham schools at the centre of allegations | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
of a Muslim takeover plot has been accused of doing too little to keep | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
pupils safe from extremism. Ofsted has given the school and adequate | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
rating. It comes as Michael Gove has denied he is at war with the Home | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
Secretary, Theresa May, over the issue of Islamic extremism. Let's | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
head to Westminster and Norman Smith. This has become a very ugly | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
and damaging political row. The Ofsted report looks damning. The | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
Ofsted report gives Buell to what is a very bitter row within Cabinet | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
over how you tackle Islamic extremism. There has been a | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
concerted attempt in Government this morning to try and dampen down that | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
row with Michael Gove saying he now fully supported the Home Secretary. | :08:45. | :08:45. | |
This is what he said this morning. Good morning, Secretary of State, | :08:46. | :08:55. | |
Are you at war with which the Home Secretary? | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
Certainly not, I think Theresa is doing a fantastic job. | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
I hope that you will enjoy the rest of today. | :09:03. | :09:04. | |
There's a lot going on, a lot of exciting things. | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
Are they too soft on fundamentalism, though? | :09:08. | :09:08. | |
However, the attempts to dampen down that row looked to be made much | :09:09. | :09:16. | |
harder that the issue that has provoked it is set to explode into | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
the public arena next week with the publication of the report into the | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
so called Trojan horse plot, the claim that more than 20 Birmingham | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
schools were targeted by Islamic extremists. We have obtained a copy | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
of the report into one of those schools. It would appear to | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
substantiate or back many of Mr Gove's concerns. Saying that the | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
male members of staff felt intimidated, that there was an | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
overwhelming focus on Islamic education in the religious education | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
studies. It says pupils were left by rubble to the risk of | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
marginalisation from British society and the associated risks of | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
radicalisation. By this report matters is if it reflects what is in | :09:58. | :10:00. | |
the Ofsted report to be published next week, that will ignite a | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
political firestorm. Not just in Birmingham but in the educational | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
establishment and, it would seem, in the Cabinet. | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
The European Central Bank is expected to cut interest rates to | :10:15. | :10:17. | |
address concerns that countries in the Eurozone could be facing | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
The ECB may also set a negative interest rate for banks, in the hope | :10:21. | :10:32. | |
it will encourage them to lend more. Let's talk to Simon Jack. How | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
unprecedented is this? On the deposit rate for the banks, it's the | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
first time it has ever happened in European Central Bank history. | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
European banks have been stashing money for safekeeping. By having a | :10:46. | :10:47. | |
negative interest rate, you are charging them for the privilege of | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
doing that, a rather sharp prod in the ribs to say, don't do that, get | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
out, lending to businesses and individuals to promote growth. They | :10:58. | :10:59. | |
are getting very frustrated. The eurozone as a whole has only grown | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
by 0.2% in the last quarter. There's a fear that prices could fall. That | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
is the real economy killer, deflation. Why would you buy | :11:08. | :11:10. | |
something to David could be cheaper next month or next year? You stop | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
spending and the economy could grind to a halt. We're not there yet, but | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
at 0.5% of inflation, we're not far off. That's the big worry. | :11:20. | :11:25. | |
A BBC investigation has discovered that some major banks | :11:26. | :11:27. | |
and credit card companies may have significantly underpaid | :11:28. | :11:29. | |
the compensation due to customers for mis-sold payment protection | :11:30. | :11:31. | |
One leading expert in PPI has put the shortfall | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
The firms involved all insist they make every effort to pay the correct | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
Here's our personal finance correspondent Simon Gompertz. | :11:41. | :11:50. | |
Payment protection insurance on loans and credit, the biggest | :11:51. | :11:56. | |
mis-selling scandal ever. Now it emerges that compensation to credit | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
card customers could have been underpaid by up to ?1 billion. So | :12:00. | :12:06. | |
all of these charges, I never saw. Mark Pascoe was wrongly sold the | :12:07. | :12:08. | |
cover, designed to help if you were sick or unemployed. The claims | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
company says his compensation is less than half what it should be. | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
You thought the credit card companies ripped you off in terms of | :12:18. | :12:28. | |
the deals and what they did to you. Mark has already been paid | :12:29. | :12:30. | |
compensation, adding to the huge PPI bill faced by the banks. But take a | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
look at this analysis of his credit card account. There are the payments | :12:34. | :12:36. | |
for PPI cover going out, that's what he's been given back, but he was | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
also charged for going over his credit limit while he was paying for | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
PPI. There were late payment charges when he couldn't settle the bill on | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
time and interest on the debt as it built up. The claim is that some of | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
those charges should also be refunded, along with interest in his | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
favour. It would take his compensation from ?6,000 to ?13,000. | :12:55. | :13:01. | |
Did you ever make a claim on that? At the Financial Ombudsman Service, | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
there's no doubt that charges triggered by mis-sold PPI should be | :13:06. | :13:11. | |
refunded. If they haven't taken into account these charges, provided it | :13:12. | :13:13. | |
was the sale of the payment protection insurance that caused the | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
charges, then, yes, that would be wrong and they need to put that | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
right. Mark's provider MBNA said of its overall policy... | :13:23. | :13:31. | |
have all told the BBC they made every effort to pay the correct | :13:32. | :13:33. | |
amount. Barclays adding... The size of the compensation | :13:34. | :13:49. | |
shortfall is difficult to assess, so we asked a former banker and PPI | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
expert to make an estimate. I'm confident that based on what you | :13:55. | :13:57. | |
have discovered, the banks are looking at an extra compensation | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
bill of around ?1 billion. It's a huge number. I think it could be the | :14:02. | :14:05. | |
worst news they get this year. If that's true, many thousands of | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
victims of PPI mis-selling may have been paid too little. Simon | :14:10. | :14:11. | |
Gompertz, BBC News. And you can find much more | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
on this story, including what the banks have had to say, by going | :14:17. | :14:19. | |
to our website, bbc.co.uk/business. The Catholic Church in Ireland has | :14:20. | :14:31. | |
told an order of nuns to cooperate into an inquest into the deaths of | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
children who were found in a mass grave on their premises. Children | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
who were found in the grounds of a home for unmarried mothers found -- | :14:41. | :14:47. | |
eyed of malnutrition or illness. It was a place where they were supposed | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
to care for unmarried mothers and their children. The sight of what | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
was a home run by nuns in Co Galway is now a marked graveyard. The | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
bodies of nearly 800 children are thought to be here. They ranged in | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
age from just two days to nine years old when they died, although the | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
church says it has no records of their burial. This is a mass grave | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
and they are all buried in this area. No little cross, no marking, | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
no headstone, nobody knows who they are. It is actually almost 40 years | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
since the remains were found hidden in a septic tank. It was claimed | :15:23. | :15:30. | |
then that they were victims of the Irish famine. But historians | :15:31. | :15:32. | |
searched through records and found that wasn't true. These men made the | :15:33. | :15:35. | |
grim discovery when they were just children themselves. There it was, | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
skulls piled up on top of each other. Maybe eight or nine feet | :15:41. | :15:48. | |
deep. It's thought most of the children died of sickness or | :15:49. | :15:51. | |
disease, but this has again raised concerns about how the Catholic | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
Church in Ireland treated children in its care during the middle of the | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
20th century. The Irish Government was under pressure to give a state | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
apology and to hold enquiries over what one of its own ministers has | :16:04. | :16:06. | |
described as a reminder of Ireland's darker past. There are | :16:07. | :16:12. | |
plans for a memorial to remember children once deliberately | :16:13. | :16:16. | |
forgotten. Hidden secret now uncovered that has again raised | :16:17. | :16:19. | |
questions about the morality and actions of both the Church and the | :16:20. | :16:32. | |
in Ireland. Leaders at the G-7 summit in... Said they will impose | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
more sanctions on Russia. There are signs of a desire to find a | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
diplomatic solution to this crisis. Matthew Price reports now from | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
Brussels. In Eastern Ukraine it is begun, not | :16:48. | :16:51. | |
the diplomats that is being heard for now. -- it is begun. Pro-Russian | :16:52. | :16:57. | |
separatists fighting the Ukrainian army for control. But in Brussels | :16:58. | :17:04. | |
seven of the world's most powerful leaders may have found a way out of | :17:05. | :17:09. | |
this crisis. They know the key lies with the Russian president. Persuade | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
him to control the separatists and Ukraine could be pulled back from | :17:14. | :17:18. | |
the brink. Here is what Russia has to do. Recognise Ukraine's new | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
president, withdraw all its forces from the border between the two | :17:24. | :17:26. | |
countries and persuade the separatists to put down their | :17:27. | :17:32. | |
weapons. TRANSLATION: | :17:33. | :17:35. | |
We have a three pronged approach. We want is a port -- support Ukraine | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
economically. We want to talk to Russia about what it has to do. We | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
have to think about further sanctions. What the leaders have | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
outlined here is a way to potentially diffuse this crisis. | :17:49. | :17:51. | |
Everything now depends on the Russian reaction. There is that | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
threat of further sanctions but the G-7 is hoping it is not going to | :17:57. | :18:00. | |
have to use it. This evening Britain's David Cameron as well as | :18:01. | :18:03. | |
the French and German leaders will meet Vladimir Putin in Paris. He | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
appeared on French television and was asked about his Ukrainian | :18:08. | :18:16. | |
counterpart. Mr Poroshenko, he said, has a unique chance. His hands are | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
not yet covered in blood. In Ukraine, with another person dead, | :18:21. | :18:25. | |
another life to mourn, a solution to this crisis can't come soon enough. | :18:26. | :18:33. | |
A gunman has shot dead three police officers in southeastern Canada. | :18:34. | :18:36. | |
Another two officers and a third person were wounded in the town of | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
Monkton. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police say the man they are hunting | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
is armed and dangerous. Daniel Birch has the latest. | :18:46. | :18:51. | |
The suspect is still at large. Residents have been warned to stay | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
indoors. Streets are closed off. As police in the Canadian city of | :18:56. | :18:59. | |
Monkton search for a gunman who shot dead three of their colleagues. They | :19:00. | :19:03. | |
came under fire as they responded to reports of unarmed man wearing | :19:04. | :19:07. | |

officers were shot and killed. Two officers were also injured, but | :19:23. | :19:26. | |
their life is not threatened at this time. One eye witness reported | :19:27. | :19:30. | |
seeing a man standing in the street, pointed the weapon at police cars | :19:31. | :19:34. | |
and says he heard a burst of automatic gunfire. Police are | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
looking for a 24-year-old suspect, who they believe is still in the | :19:39. | :19:41. | |

team, from a football-mad public. But, as Wyre Davies reports, | :21:06. | :21:08. | |
from Rio, there are many distractions - including anti-World | :21:09. | :21:11. | |
Cup protests, across Brazil, and falling attendances, | :21:12. | :21:14. | |

of the Brazilian players come from difficult conditions and we also | :21:44. | :21:45. | |
want better things for the country. With more than 1000 global | :21:46. | :21:51. | |

team does this year. I suspect if they manage to pull | :23:21. | :23:22. | |
off a victory people will be feeling quite good about the state | :23:23. | :23:25. | |
of Brazilian football again. Football is in the blood here | :23:26. | :23:29. | |
and while everyone wants another Brazilian World Cup win that might | :23:30. | :23:31. | |
simply mask the growing disconnect between these | :23:32. | :23:35. | |
players and those who run the game. British police have been given | :23:36. | :23:45. | |
permission to extend their search for Madeleine Mccann | :23:46. | :23:47. | |

You Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency most of | :24:12. | :24:13. | |
the police activity has been concentrated behind me. You can see | :24:14. | :24:18. | |
the police were using special radar technology. It allows them to peer | :24:19. | :24:22. | |
beneath the surface of the Earth. Earlier today we have seen digging, | :24:23. | :24:25. | |
quite extensive digging, in this area. We have seen police mapping | :24:26. | :24:29. | |
out the ground. We have seen officers from the Metropolitan | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
Police removing manhole covers on a network of old sewers, which runs | :24:34. | :24:39. | |
underneath this roughly 15 acre site. We 15 minute walk from the | :24:40. | :24:43. | |
apartment where the family stayed on their holiday in 2007. Perhaps more | :24:44. | :24:48. | |
interestingly, we are even nearer to another point which the Metropolitan | :24:49. | :24:53. | |
Police believe could be key in their investigation. The siting of a man, | :24:54. | :24:56. | |

The manufacturer of a feed drip strongly linked to | :25:09. | :25:10. | |
the death of a premature baby - and the illness of 14 others, says | :25:11. | :25:13. | |
ITH Pharma says it's cooperating with an investigation. | :25:14. | :25:17. | |
The baby died from blood poisoning, at St Thomas's Hospital in London. | :25:18. | :25:20. | |

Neonatal intensive care units look after the most fragile babies. To | :25:30. | :25:35. | |
thrive, they are often fed with special formula milk. But many | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
premature babies also need top-up nutrients straight into their veins. | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
That is one of the products made by ITH Pharma Limited. It supplies | :25:46. | :25:48. | |
hospitals across the South of England. Now they are -- now, though | :25:49. | :25:54. | |

infection. Bacillus cereus is found in dust and dirt, but contamination | :26:19. | :26:21. | |
in a medical product is a rare event. Saint Thomas is, where one | :26:22. | :26:28. | |
baby died, is taking extra infection precautions. Here and at the other | :26:29. | :26:32. | |
five hospitals, 14 babies are being treated. They are said to be | :26:33. | :26:36. | |
responding to antibiotics. For their parents, their first concern, their | :26:37. | :26:41. | |
baby's welfare. For the regulators, tracking down how and why this | :26:42. | :26:45. | |
happened. Officials say they are not worried about any further | :26:46. | :26:47. | |
contamination, or any other similar products. | :26:48. | :26:54. | |
The US Secretary of Defence Chuck Hagel has defended the deal with the | :26:55. | :26:57. | |
Taliban that led to the release of the American soldier, Bowe Bergdahl. | :26:58. | :27:00. | |
Senior Republicans had criticised the release of senior Taliban | :27:01. | :27:02. | |
figures - saying it puts American lives at risk. | :27:03. | :27:04. | |
A rally in the American soldier's hometown has been cancelled. | :27:05. | :27:07. | |
Former colleagues had claimed that he'd deserted his unit. | :27:08. | :27:09. | |
The high drama surrounding Sgt Bergdahl's release has quickly | :27:10. | :27:15. | |
Americans unanimous that it's good to have the missing soldier back | :27:16. | :27:21. | |
but asking questions about the possible cost. | :27:22. | :27:27. | |
In the video, Bowe Bergdahl looks bewildered and uncertain. | :27:28. | :27:31. | |

good job for the Queen's Baton. Spending much of the afternoon | :29:24. | :29:27. | |
across the Kent area. I think the conditions are going to smile on | :29:28. | :29:33. | |
them there. Just the chance across some of the southern counties of a | :29:34. | :29:35. | |
couple of showers popping up, but you get the sense from the satellite | :29:36. | :29:40. | |
picture, there's a lot of dry weather to be had. Into Northern | :29:41. | :29:46. | |
Ireland at the far north of England and into Scotland, thicker cloud, a | :29:47. | :29:50. | |
weather front into northern parts of Scotland. Some fog on the eastern | :29:51. | :29:56. | |
coast as well. Not a particularly great afternoon there. Tonight, some | :29:57. | :30:02. | |
rain beginning to ease a touch. Further south, a dry enough night | :30:03. | :30:06. | |
with clear skies around, we will import some cloud later on into the | :30:07. | :30:11. | |
south-west. Towns and cities for the most part staying in double figures. | :30:12. | :30:15. | |
In the countryside, you may well find it a bit cooler than that. Then | :30:16. | :30:20. | |
we are off and running into Friday. The cloud and rain flirting with the | :30:21. | :30:25. | |
western extremities of England, Wales, eventually residing in | :30:26. | :30:29. | |
Northern Ireland. Sharp showers across parts of northern Scotland | :30:30. | :30:32. | |
with some gloom on the north-eastern shores again. Temperatures picking | :30:33. | :30:37. | |
up, signs of things to come here as we move into Saturday. A really | :30:38. | :30:41. | |
close, humid feel across many parts of the British Isles and the risk of | :30:42. | :30:47. | |
thunderstorms. My colleagues have used this particular graphic over | :30:48. | :30:50. | |
the past couple of days. We are importing the heat from the near | :30:51. | :30:55. | |
South, something slightly cooler trying to intervene from the West. | :30:56. | :30:58. | |
Where the air masses clash, that's where we are likely to spawn, if | :30:59. | :31:03. | |
everything comes together, some torrential downpours. I know there | :31:04. | :31:06. | |
are a lot of events going on, but that could be a real problem, across | :31:07. | :31:10. | |
predominantly central and western parts. The limits of this is not | :31:11. | :31:16. | |
hard and fast at the moment. A really close and humid day. A | :31:17. | :31:21. | |
different kettle of fish on Sunday. Mainly fine with a scattering of | :31:22. | :31:25. | |
showers, but not with the sort of intensity we are likely to see | :31:26. | :31:30. | |
through Saturday. Rain residing across northern parts of Scotland, a | :31:31. | :31:33. | |
scattering of showers towards the West. In inland areas, a close and | :31:34. | :31:35. | |
humid feel. Prince Charles has met D-Day | :31:36. | :31:47. | |
