:01:36. > :01:37.Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at One.

:01:38. > :01:40.It's the most significant reshuffle of his cabinet since the

:01:41. > :01:46.David Cameron has been unveiling the changes this morning which are

:01:47. > :01:51.The biggest surprise was the departure of Michael Gove

:01:52. > :01:54.from his job as Education Secretary and the appointment

:01:55. > :01:57.of the relatively unknown minister, Nicky Morgan, who takes his place.

:01:58. > :02:03.The new Foreign Secretary will be Philip Hammond after William Hague

:02:04. > :02:05.announced his decision to step down last night.

:02:06. > :02:08.Mr Cameron has now doubled the number of women in the Cabinet

:02:09. > :02:16.Our political correspondent, Robin Brant, reports.

:02:17. > :02:22.Still and motionless on the outside, but behind the front door, David

:02:23. > :02:26.Cameron is making big changes. It is the most significant shake-up of his

:02:27. > :02:31.team since he became Prime Minister. And guess who is happy. Nicky Morgan

:02:32. > :02:36.is the new Education Secretary. The Cabinet has a working mum in it once

:02:37. > :02:42.again. She is one of several women who have been promoted. She will sit

:02:43. > :02:46.alongside Liz Truss. Still in her 30s, she is the new Environment

:02:47. > :02:51.Secretary. Esther McVey also gets to the top, kind. She will attend

:02:52. > :02:56.Cabinet but stays in her junior job as employment minister. The former

:02:57. > :02:59.TV presenter will reprise what she did before politics. Expect to see

:03:00. > :03:07.and hear a lot of on TV, pushing the Conservative case. Hello, my name is

:03:08. > :03:12.Michael. You will hear a lot more hellos on the airwaves from this man

:03:13. > :03:16.as the Conservatives go into full election fighting mode. Even though

:03:17. > :03:20.Michael Gove has been demoted today. He arrived at Downing Street to be

:03:21. > :03:26.told he is out of education. Some saw him as a crusader for reform,

:03:27. > :03:27.other hated -- others hated what they called his old-fashioned,

:03:28. > :03:36.antagonistic approach. William Hague announced last night

:03:37. > :03:41.he is quitting as Foreign Secretary, unusually he stays on in the cabinet

:03:42. > :03:42.with a campaigning role. Philip Hammond steps up from defence to

:03:43. > :03:58.become the new Foreign Secretary. Nicky Morgan takes over at

:03:59. > :04:01.education. Liz Truss is now in charge at environment. Esther McVey

:04:02. > :04:08.also attends Cabinet but she is not actually in it. There is a balance

:04:09. > :04:11.between experience on the one hand and renewal. We are fortunate in our

:04:12. > :04:17.party to have some extremely talented people, now coming to the

:04:18. > :04:20.fore. So let's give them their opportunity. This reshuffle is

:04:21. > :04:23.fore. So let's give them their two things, how the government

:04:24. > :04:26.fore. So let's give them their and sounds to the voters. There is

:04:27. > :04:30.also a message from David Cameron to the people inside his own party.

:04:31. > :04:35.With William Hague moving sideways and Hammond moving up, it is looking

:04:36. > :04:39.a bit more Eurosceptic. The Tories are now clearly on an election

:04:40. > :04:42.footing. Emotions for big hitters like William Hague means less global

:04:43. > :04:47.campaigning with Hollywood stars, but more time to fight in the

:04:48. > :04:52.marginals. More women are being promoted today, but the risk is, for

:04:53. > :04:56.years in, it will be seen as presentation and little more. I

:04:57. > :04:58.think politics has to look and sound like Britain. When three quarters of

:04:59. > :05:03.the Cabinet are men, clearly like Britain. When three quarters of

:05:04. > :05:06.has fallen short. It just so happens this reshuffle comes on the day and

:05:07. > :05:10.pain is marked the anniversary of the birth of suffragette Emily

:05:11. > :05:15.Pankhurst. Long after she helped secure votes for women, the Cabinet

:05:16. > :05:17.and Conservative Party remains dominated by men.

:05:18. > :05:20.So among the biggest changes is Nicky Morgan's new job as

:05:21. > :05:22.Education Secretary - replacing Michael Gove, who's overseen

:05:23. > :05:24.the biggest shake-up of England's schools system for decades.

:05:25. > :05:27.So what impact will the change have on teachers and pupils?

:05:28. > :05:38.It is a new job indeed for the man who spent the past four years

:05:39. > :05:45.transforming education according to his vision. Instead of Education

:05:46. > :05:47.Secretary, Michael Gove is now Chief Whip. He

:05:48. > :05:57.Secretary, Michael Gove is now Chief political move. The divisive

:05:58. > :05:59.figure's radical reforms to schools and teaching have made him a hero to

:06:00. > :06:04.figure's radical reforms to schools some at an enemy to many. He has

:06:05. > :06:07.attracted vehement dislike from across the education establishment.

:06:08. > :06:14.Made clear at one teaching union conference. Gove must go. Today

:06:15. > :06:19.those same union celebrated his surprise departure from education. I

:06:20. > :06:26.have been in education for over 30 years and I think Muckle Gove is the

:06:27. > :06:30.most unpopular secretary of state for education with teachers that I

:06:31. > :06:36.have ever experienced -- I think Michael Gove is. Despite the anger,

:06:37. > :06:41.in some cases personal hatred directed at him, Mr Gove pressed on

:06:42. > :06:42.with his vision. He changed the school curriculum, toughened up GCSE

:06:43. > :06:46.and A-level exams and school curriculum, toughened up GCSE

:06:47. > :06:50.growth of academies and free schools, even teachers more control,

:06:51. > :06:53.allowing them to answer more directly to Whitehall and cutting

:06:54. > :06:58.out what he called local bureaucracy. He brought passion to

:06:59. > :07:03.the job to drive up standards. What he has done has got to work through.

:07:04. > :07:07.There are virtually no more changes he can make. He has been a great

:07:08. > :07:12.change in education and it is better he goes on to something else. Less

:07:13. > :07:15.than a year before the general election, a safe pair of hands has

:07:16. > :07:20.taken over the education brief. Nicky Morgan, a working mother who

:07:21. > :07:24.has quietly risen through the Whitehall ranks since being elected

:07:25. > :07:30.in 2010. Were you brought in to make peace after Michael Gove? It is

:07:31. > :07:33.unlikely she will undo Mr Gove's reforms or introduce radical ideas

:07:34. > :07:36.of her own, but it is hoped a less toxic figure will help win back

:07:37. > :07:43.support from teachers. As one of many new women in top jobs, it is

:07:44. > :07:44.also help she -- hope she will help sell David Cameron's government to

:07:45. > :07:46.voters. Our chief political correspondent,

:07:47. > :07:56.Norman Smith, A far more extensive reshuffle, what

:07:57. > :08:01.is your verdict? Normally they tend to be a nip and tuck job. This time

:08:02. > :08:06.David Cameron has grabbed the Cabinet by the scruff of its lapels

:08:07. > :08:08.and given it an almighty shake-up. He has fundamentally recast the

:08:09. > :08:12.conservative side of the coalition in a reshuffle that is more radical

:08:13. > :08:17.than anyone in Westminster had expected, not just in terms of the

:08:18. > :08:21.names that have gone. William Hague leaving the Foreign Office, Michael

:08:22. > :08:25.Gove leaving education. But in terms of the public face of the

:08:26. > :08:29.Conservative Party. It is an attempt to end the old school tie, old boy

:08:30. > :08:34.image of the Conservative Party and bring in many more women, doubling

:08:35. > :08:36.the number of women in the Cabinet, presenting a more feminine, more

:08:37. > :08:41.voter friendly face to the electorate. We have also seen a

:08:42. > :08:48.marked political shift, a much more hard edged Eurosceptic Conservative

:08:49. > :08:52.side of the coalition. Not just with the promotion of Philip Hammond to

:08:53. > :08:55.Foreign Secretary, a man who has openly countenanced leaving the

:08:56. > :08:59.European Union, but in the demise of many what I would call euro

:09:00. > :09:05.moderates, who have now left the government. What we are left with

:09:06. > :09:08.is, in effect, a war cabinet, a campaigning cabinet with one eye on

:09:09. > :09:12.the general election. What will be interesting is whether this shake-up

:09:13. > :09:16.is sufficiently radical to promote the other two parties, the Liberal

:09:17. > :09:20.Democrats and the Labour Party, to carry out their own reshuffles.

:09:21. > :09:24.And you can find the full details of the cabinet reshuffle on the BBC

:09:25. > :09:31.Egypt says it hasn't received an official response

:09:32. > :09:34.from the Palestinians to its proposal for a ceasefire in Gaza.

:09:35. > :09:36.Israel has approved the Egyptian plan but said

:09:37. > :09:39.if the rocket fire into Israel didn't stop, it was prepared to

:09:40. > :09:49.Our Middle East correspondent, Yolande Knell, reports.

:09:50. > :09:58.Smoke rising on the Gaza skyline once again. After an early-morning

:09:59. > :10:01.Israeli strike. This building took a direct hit, leaving more

:10:02. > :10:05.Palestinians to pick through rubble for their possessions. The number

:10:06. > :10:11.killed here has reached more than 190. But overnight, diplomatic

:10:12. > :10:18.efforts to end the two-way violence gathered pace. This was an Arab

:10:19. > :10:23.League meeting in Cairo. Egypt, a key player, said a time for a

:10:24. > :10:31.cease-fire, in order to mediate a longer term deal -- set a time for a

:10:32. > :10:35.cease-fire. Israel accepted but the factions in Gaza did not. We are

:10:36. > :10:39.here at the main hospital in Gaza city, one of the few locations where

:10:40. > :10:42.a mass officials feel they are safe enough from a possible Israeli

:10:43. > :10:54.attack to come out and speak to the media. -- where how mass

:10:55. > :10:59.the cease-fire proposal was discussed by everyone except us. We

:11:00. > :11:07.will continue defending our people and fighting. We are fighting to

:11:08. > :11:10.improve conditions. The cease-fire opposable is like an ambush. Soon,

:11:11. > :11:16.more Palestinian rockets were fired from Gaza. Here they were

:11:17. > :11:22.intercepted over the southern Israeli city of Ashkelon. As the

:11:23. > :11:28.sirens sounded, locals went rushing for cover. Now with no truce in

:11:29. > :11:35.place, Israeli officials are threatening to widen their military

:11:36. > :11:40.action. No country would sit idly by while its civilian population is

:11:41. > :11:48.subjected to terrorist rocket fire. Israel is no exception. If Hamas

:11:49. > :11:51.rejects the Egyptian proposal, and the rocket fire from Gaza does not

:11:52. > :11:56.cease, and that appears to be the case now, we are prepared to

:11:57. > :12:02.continue and intensify our operation to protect our people. Large numbers

:12:03. > :12:07.of Israeli troops remain along the Gaza border, awaiting orders.

:12:08. > :12:11.Meanwhile, the strategic efforts to try to end the fighting continued.

:12:12. > :12:14.-- continue. In a moment we'll be speaking to

:12:15. > :12:27.James Reynolds in Tel Aviv, We have heard that Israel has

:12:28. > :12:33.resumed air strikes in Gaza, can you confirm that? We can confirm that,

:12:34. > :12:37.we have seen those at strikes clearly from our rooftop position,

:12:38. > :12:41.five to the south and east of the Gaza Strip and a couple of short

:12:42. > :12:45.time ago to the North. Smoke has just dispersed from that. In the

:12:46. > :12:49.past few hours since the cease-fire was supposed to have come into

:12:50. > :12:53.effect, about 40 rockets fired by Miller to and groups in Gaza into

:12:54. > :13:01.Israel, including some of the longer range kind -- militant groups. One

:13:02. > :13:06.reached high -- a city about 100 miles from here. Hamas says it wants

:13:07. > :13:10.another of its activists released from Israeli jails and says it wants

:13:11. > :13:15.to see an end to the border restrictions imposed by Israel and

:13:16. > :13:20.Egypt. These were tightened after her master control of this small

:13:21. > :13:24.coastal strip seven years ago. -- after Hamas took control of the a

:13:25. > :13:28.lot of ordinary Palestinians we have spoken to agree there needs to be

:13:29. > :13:32.those kind of political achievements to come out of this conflict,

:13:33. > :13:35.especially after all of the bloodshed they have seen.

:13:36. > :13:38.Our Middle East correspondent, James Reynolds, is in Tel Aviv.

:13:39. > :13:54.Israel is threatening to intensify its military action

:13:55. > :14:01.It looks like that may be happening. It is a response to the rockets

:14:02. > :14:08.fired by Gaza. We have just come back from Ashdod, a few miles from

:14:09. > :14:12.Gaza. Week saw the damage caused by a rocket in a garden and we saw

:14:13. > :14:17.arguments between Israelis, one woman called for peace and another

:14:18. > :14:22.said Israel should continue its operation. We saw people shouting,

:14:23. > :14:26.saying cease-fire, what cease-fire? They wanted their government to

:14:27. > :14:38.continue. If they look weak and stop,

:14:39. > :14:40.There's been an unexpected and sharp rise in inflation.

:14:41. > :14:44.It rose from 1.5% in May to 1.9% in June - increasing the prospect of

:14:45. > :14:49.There's also been another rise in UK house prices - the highest rate

:14:50. > :14:51.for four years according to the Office for National Statistics.

:14:52. > :14:54.Our economics correspondent, Simon Jack, has more.

:14:55. > :14:59.the squeeze on consumer pockets is back on.

:15:00. > :15:04.The cost of the national shopping basket went up faster than expected

:15:05. > :15:07.in June. Inflation had been on a downward trend so today's jump, the

:15:08. > :15:14.biggest in nearly two years, was a surprise. Prices rose by 1.9% in the

:15:15. > :15:25.year to June, that is up from a rate of 1.5% in May. Almost The summer

:15:26. > :15:28.sales are now, in July, last year the retailers went early because the

:15:29. > :15:32.weather was not so good which means last year, in June, clothing and

:15:33. > :15:37.footwear was a bit cheaper, making it look more expensive this time

:15:38. > :15:41.around. Some of the rise came from food prices, they have been falling

:15:42. > :15:45.in recent months as supermarket competition intensified, but in June

:15:46. > :15:47.they stopped falling and levelled out. Inflation may well resume,

:15:48. > :15:51.downward trend, but out. Inflation may well resume,

:15:52. > :15:56.comes on the same day figures showed house prices rose 105% over the same

:15:57. > :16:04.period. How will the Bank of England respond? -- 10.5%. They will not be

:16:05. > :16:08.panicking over the raid, it is still below the targets, and sterling

:16:09. > :16:14.could fall further. -- over the rate. The first rise will be next

:16:15. > :16:18.year rather than this year we think. Remember wages are rising less than

:16:19. > :16:24.1% per year on average, half the speed prices are going up, it means

:16:25. > :16:28.that the cheque of -- at the check out, we feel poorer everyday. The

:16:29. > :16:32.bank may wait for evidence that this is changing before making a move.

:16:33. > :16:35.People using payday lenders will see the cost of borrowing fall

:16:36. > :16:40.The financial regulator has imposed a cap on payday lending which means

:16:41. > :16:44.no one will have to pay back more than twice the amount they borrowed.

:16:45. > :16:46.Last year around one and a half million people took out

:16:47. > :16:52.Our Personal Finance Correspondent Simon Gompertz has the details.

:16:53. > :16:56.Swansea. Thousands here are in trouble with payday loans.

:16:57. > :17:02.Swansea. Thousands here are in borrowers in this seaside city have

:17:03. > :17:06.been demanding a cap on costs. We managed to get a lot of the payday

:17:07. > :17:10.companies to stop but we need more control. This mother of two, is

:17:11. > :17:17.leading the campaign after the shock of having to pay back more than

:17:18. > :17:21.twice what she borrowed. I was struggling, I was depressed, I would

:17:22. > :17:27.not go out of the house, nobody knew. How much did you have to pay

:17:28. > :17:33.back? Lou Makro sometimes doubled the amount, sometimes more with the

:17:34. > :17:37.charges. What other costs, it is not only the high interest rates, you

:17:38. > :17:40.can be charged just for having the money in your account or for a

:17:41. > :17:45.faster transfer or for rolling over the lone longer or for paying back

:17:46. > :17:49.the money later. The point of the cab is to try to put a limit on all

:17:50. > :17:56.of the costs. The cap limits interest and fees to know more than

:17:57. > :18:01.0.8% per day, ?24 per month on ?100, penalties, no more than ?15

:18:02. > :18:05.for paying late, total charges never more than 100% of the loan. This

:18:06. > :18:12.catches the money shop, more than 100% of the loan. This

:18:13. > :18:16.nearly costs ?30 a month, and Wonga, charging 1% per day. The industry is

:18:17. > :18:20.warning this will limit the options for borrowers. What will happen to

:18:21. > :18:25.those people when they need to pay their bills and they need to get

:18:26. > :18:30.access to quick cash? They will turn to illegal lenders alter those

:18:31. > :18:34.operating outside the UK. Some operators in Swansea have axed

:18:35. > :18:35.payday loans already. The cab is expected to remove over 40% of the

:18:36. > :18:41.lenders income. -- the cap. David Cameron unveils his most

:21:49. > :22:02.What will his appointment mean for the EU and the UK? Well, he won a

:22:03. > :22:05.clear majority which gives him a mandate, to set up the next

:22:06. > :22:11.commission and put forward his priorities. Top of which, everyone's

:22:12. > :22:15.priority, more growth and more jobs, particularly for the 6 million

:22:16. > :22:18.unemployed youth in southern Europe. It is clear the question of

:22:19. > :22:24.Britain's relationship with the European Union will loom large

:22:25. > :22:27.during the presidency. He did not mention it during a speech in

:22:28. > :22:30.Parliament today even though it was one thing he said would be a

:22:31. > :22:36.priority for him as he campaigned during the election. Obviously David

:22:37. > :22:41.Cameron 's efforts to stop him were red bruise in experience, some

:22:42. > :22:47.bridges are going to have to be rebuilt that it was a bruising

:22:48. > :22:50.experience. Jean-Claude Juncker will now have to put forward his own

:22:51. > :22:54.commission, he needs a representative from each member

:22:55. > :22:57.state. This morning the Prime Minister has nominated Lord Hill,

:22:58. > :23:01.leader of the House of Lords, as Britain's next EU Commissioner. It

:23:02. > :23:05.is safe to say the nomination is something of a surprise. He's not

:23:06. > :23:11.one of the names who were top of the list, being put about, rumoured. The

:23:12. > :23:14.Prime Minister has put out a statement saying he has experienced

:23:15. > :23:19.in government and the private sector, that he's a good negotiator.

:23:20. > :23:25.Talking to people around here, I did a straw poll of British MEPs, the

:23:26. > :23:29.response was Lord Hill, who? He will have to make himself better known in

:23:30. > :23:32.Europe. And I guess better known to the British public if he is to be

:23:33. > :23:36.one of the main people trying to sell back to the UK the reasons why

:23:37. > :23:42.Britain should stay in the European Union. Thank you for joining us. At

:23:43. > :23:46.least 19 people have been killed in an accident on the Moscow Metro at

:23:47. > :23:51.the height of morning rush hour. Scores were injured, some seriously,

:23:52. > :23:56.when a packed commuter train braked abruptly between stations of the

:23:57. > :23:59.city. The cause of the crash, one of the worst incidents ever on the

:24:00. > :24:02.Metro, is reported to have been a power surge.

:24:03. > :24:04.More nurses will be employed on acute hospital wards in England,

:24:05. > :24:06.under new guidelines from the health regulator.

:24:07. > :24:09.It's estimated the move will increase the NHS nursing budget

:24:10. > :24:13.High death rates at the Mid-Staffordshire NHS Trust put

:24:14. > :24:16.the focus firmly on safe staffing levels as our health correspondent,

:24:17. > :24:23.Understaffed wards are dangerous for patients.

:24:24. > :24:26.The shocking failing exposed by the Francis Inquiry

:24:27. > :24:34.into Stafford Hospital has already resulted in more nurses.

:24:35. > :24:40.The NHS is being told to be flexible and look at the patients needs on

:24:41. > :24:44.each ward, the guidelines warn there is a risk of harm is one nurse is

:24:45. > :24:49.caring for more than eight patients. It is thought the NHS in England

:24:50. > :24:54.will need to spend around ?200 million extra on the budget, but

:24:55. > :24:56.better care can be cheaper, preventing infections for example

:24:57. > :25:03.could save up to ?700 million per year. There is argued we know more

:25:04. > :25:09.important piece of work in the NHS at the moment -- arguably. Staffing

:25:10. > :25:12.levels are an issue for members of the public, people want to feel

:25:13. > :25:18.confident in the wards that they are admitted to. Nursing leaders have

:25:19. > :25:24.welcomed the new advice but they warned some hospitals are already

:25:25. > :25:27.struggling to recruit staff. We know there was a staff shortage across

:25:28. > :25:31.the United Kingdom in relation to nursing and health care systems. We

:25:32. > :25:35.also know that nursing is a great profession and lots more people are

:25:36. > :25:38.coming into the profession. The plans say there should be an

:25:39. > :25:43.immediate trigger to put on extra staff if patients are not getting

:25:44. > :25:48.help with basic care. The government says it is a major step forward but

:25:49. > :25:50.Labour is warning too many hospitals are currently working beyond their

:25:51. > :25:58.capacity. Flying off on holiday is one thing

:25:59. > :26:00.but imagine blasting off to an out of this world holiday

:26:01. > :26:03.destination, like this? Some say space tourism from the UK

:26:04. > :26:06.is only a few years away. And now a number

:26:07. > :26:09.of locations are vying to build Only one will be chosen -

:26:10. > :26:13.and the successful spaceport will also be used to launch commercial

:26:14. > :26:28.satellites. In a few years time tourists could

:26:29. > :26:33.be flocking to the tranquil north Wales coastline to go to space. By

:26:34. > :26:38.2018, this airfield could be the place people come to, to go into

:26:39. > :26:42.orbit. It seems like the stuff of science fiction. The government

:26:43. > :26:50.really does want to have a launch site for space plane somewhere in

:26:51. > :26:53.the UK. In just a few years, lots of people could be turning up to

:26:54. > :26:58.airports wearing astronaut suits. And being sent into orbit. The plan

:26:59. > :27:04.is to convert an existing airfield, such as this one in North Wales.

:27:05. > :27:09.Space planes could be taking off from this very runway. Carrying

:27:10. > :27:14.people and also British made satellites. The announcement was

:27:15. > :27:20.made this morning. At the Farnborough airshow. We have a

:27:21. > :27:24.success story of space in the UK which is growing and we have new

:27:25. > :27:30.opportunities to seize, one of those is space tourism. There is not a

:27:31. > :27:34.working space plane yet but companies are designing them. This

:27:35. > :27:40.one takes off and it fires a spacecraft with tourists into space.

:27:41. > :27:43.one takes off and it fires a seater for a joyride. And this space

:27:44. > :27:50.plane can take satellites into seater for a joyride. And this space

:27:51. > :27:54.and come back to earth. As well as this location, there are seven other

:27:55. > :27:59.potential sites, one in England, and six in Scotland. Which has more room

:28:00. > :28:05.of airfield close to the sea than any other part of the country.

:28:06. > :28:12.remote airfields. We can see ourselves flying from Scotland, but

:28:13. > :28:16.also new key. Satellites will be the first payload for the spaceport,

:28:17. > :28:21.this will be a boost to British space companies like this one in

:28:22. > :28:24.Guildford. The site for the spaceport will be selected next

:28:25. > :28:31.March, when the UK can begin their long haul journey into space.

:28:32. > :28:41.It is fairly quiet at the moment today, but it will be changing later

:28:42. > :28:46.this week. Certainly for the rest of the afternoon sunny spells and

:28:47. > :28:50.feeling warm. Most places dry, with a small risk of showers across

:28:51. > :28:52.northern Scotland. Some breaks coming and going in the cloud giving

:28:53. > :28:59.brighter spells throughout the afternoon. More sunshine compared to

:29:00. > :29:03.yesterday. It will feel warmer. Temperatures 19-20 degrees.

:29:04. > :29:04.yesterday. It will feel warmer. yesterday, still the mid-20s in the

:29:05. > :29:10.London area. yesterday, still the mid-20s in the

:29:11. > :29:15.northern England but we could see some brighter spells to finish the

:29:16. > :29:20.day, or cloud in Northern Ireland and keeping the sunshine in Belfast.

:29:21. > :29:28.Cloud across Scotland, well broken and risks of showers. The cloud will

:29:29. > :29:32.continue over the West, turning murky across the south-west of

:29:33. > :29:36.England and Wales with rain arriving for Northern Ireland and Scotland.

:29:37. > :29:41.Dry in many central and eastern areas with breaks in the cloud and

:29:42. > :29:46.another warm night. Around dawn, temperatures in the mid-teens.

:29:47. > :29:49.Starting the morning, this area of cloud and rain is sitting in

:29:50. > :29:53.Scotland and Ireland. It will be moving south, and it will be

:29:54. > :29:58.brighter for Ireland. Showers moving into western Scotland. This front

:29:59. > :30:02.will move through England, Wales and the south-west and we could see

:30:03. > :30:06.heavy downpours throughout the afternoon despite the temperatures

:30:07. > :30:09.still in the low 20s. Ahead of that we have the sunshine and we have

:30:10. > :30:14.some heat with possible temperatures of 27 in London. The frontal system

:30:15. > :30:19.will clear away on Thursday, it should be fine and dry with sunny

:30:20. > :30:23.spells. Isolated downpours possible throughout the afternoon. Humidity

:30:24. > :30:34.will increase, temperatures will be climbing. A lot of places reaching

:30:35. > :30:39.up to 30 degrees, in the London area. It will be an uncomfortable

:30:40. > :30:45.and muggy night, with temperatures holding up into the high teens. I

:30:46. > :30:50.Friday, the humidity is more likely to trigger thunder. -- by Friday. At

:30:51. > :30:54.the moment it looks like over south-west areas, pushing north, but

:30:55. > :30:59.still high temperatures across the country. By the end of the week we

:31:00. > :31:03.will have warm weather, high humidity and uncomfortable nights

:31:04. > :31:05.for sleeping. We will increase the risk of thundery downpours

:31:06. > :31:15.particularly on Friday and especially Saturday. The top story,
