:01:32. > :01:34.the UK, five- year-old Ashya King, who has a brain tumour,

:01:35. > :01:50.remains in a Malaga hospital. Brett and Naghemeh King were arrested on

:01:51. > :01:52.Saturday after removing their son from the Southampton Hospital where

:01:53. > :01:58.he was being treated. Hampshire Police say they contacted

:01:59. > :02:00.Spanish officers after they were told

:02:01. > :02:03.the boy's health was at risk, and they had no choice but to ask for

:02:04. > :02:07.an arrest warrant for his parents. The King's supporters say they are

:02:08. > :02:09.being treated like criminals Their hearing at the

:02:10. > :02:13.Madrid High Court is underway now. Our Correspondent Tom

:02:14. > :02:25.Burridge is there. The hearing has been delayed because

:02:26. > :02:31.the lawyer was delayed. The Kings will be asked if they accept their

:02:32. > :02:35.extradition back to the UK. If so they could be back in the UK within

:02:36. > :02:40.48 hours. If they do not agree it will go to another court hearing in

:02:41. > :02:43.weeks or even months. And the court here will decide in the meantime if

:02:44. > :02:49.they are to be granted bail. The parents of five-year-old Ashya King

:02:50. > :02:52.were driven this morning in a police van into the High Court here in

:02:53. > :02:58.Madrid. Last night they were taken in handcuffs from a hearing at a

:02:59. > :03:07.regional court in Malaga. What is your message tonight? The

:03:08. > :03:15.best treatment for Ashya. Images like these had increased criticism

:03:16. > :03:22.of how the couple have been treated. Ashya's and mother told us she was

:03:23. > :03:28.appalled. It is appalling, they are being treated like criminals. They

:03:29. > :03:32.have taken for a little Ashya who's dying of a brain tumour and they

:03:33. > :03:38.will not let his parents see him at all. It is terrible. It is so cruel

:03:39. > :03:43.it is unbelievable. But Hampshire police said they had to act as

:03:44. > :03:47.quickly as possible and they say that issuing a European arrest

:03:48. > :03:52.warrant was there only option. A European arrest woman has to be

:03:53. > :03:57.agreed by the Crown Prosecution Service and a district judge. --

:03:58. > :04:01.European arrest warrant. It is not just the view of Hampshire

:04:02. > :04:08.Constabulary that Ashya is vulnerable and needs to come back to

:04:09. > :04:12.the UK for treatment. For now Ashya is in a children's hospital in

:04:13. > :04:15.Malaga. Authorities in Britain say his life was in danger but one of

:04:16. > :04:20.his older brothers said that after he was removed by his parents from

:04:21. > :04:27.hospital, he was given the necessary care. We did not change his food, it

:04:28. > :04:34.was the same food. He was not starving along the way. The parents

:04:35. > :04:38.say they just want the young boy to get the best treatment, a treatment

:04:39. > :04:42.they say is only available abroad. No UK hospital offers proton beam

:04:43. > :04:48.therapy of the US -- by the NHS was paid for some to have the treatment

:04:49. > :04:56.abroad. Last year 143 patients had their cases considered, 122 of those

:04:57. > :05:01.were approved, 99 were children. The cost is around ?100,000 per patient.

:05:02. > :05:05.Proton therapy is a more targeted form of radiotherapy used in

:05:06. > :05:11.children to reduce the severity of some long-term side effects of

:05:12. > :05:15.treatment. The use of proton therapy is not an advantage for everyone and

:05:16. > :05:20.so there is a specialist panel which advises the NHS as to which patients

:05:21. > :05:25.will benefit from proton therapy. At the centre of everything as a young

:05:26. > :05:29.boy who is still seriously ill in a Spanish hospital. When Ashya King

:05:30. > :05:36.and his six siblings might return to the UK is still not clear. And what

:05:37. > :05:40.happens next to Ashya and his six siblings were still in Spain depends

:05:41. > :05:45.to a large extent on what happens to their parents in that hearing in the

:05:46. > :05:46.High Court behind me. Whether or not they accept extradition and it is

:05:47. > :05:50.High Court behind me. Whether or not they accept whether the judge grants

:05:51. > :05:54.them bail. We expect that decision soon.

:05:55. > :05:57.Let's speak to our correspondent Jon Kay, who's outside the hospital in

:05:58. > :06:13.What is the latest on his condition? Ashya was brought here on

:06:14. > :06:17.Saturday night when his parents were arrested. He is in a private room

:06:18. > :06:21.under police guard. None of his family, his six brothers and sisters

:06:22. > :06:24.who are somewhere in the surrounding area, none of them have been allowed

:06:25. > :06:29.to go inside to see him. They told me they found that distressing. We

:06:30. > :06:32.heard from the grandmother and she also said she found it distressing.

:06:33. > :06:39.Just in the last couple of minutes I was with Danny King, the older

:06:40. > :06:44.brother who is 23. He got a call from doctors telling him he could go

:06:45. > :06:47.there this afternoon to see his little brother for the first time.

:06:48. > :06:53.Danny was extremely relieved to hear that news. He is delighted. He was

:06:54. > :06:56.thankful to the Spanish doctor who told him that because he has been

:06:57. > :07:01.really concerned about how Ashya is dealing with this. He is five years

:07:02. > :07:05.old, seriously ill and on his own. He is in a foreign country. He

:07:06. > :07:10.cannot communicate with the doctors around him and his oldest brother

:07:11. > :07:15.was concerned about what on earth would be going through his mind. So

:07:16. > :07:19.he hopes he will be able to reassure him this afternoon. As far as the

:07:20. > :07:23.family are concerned this is the first bit of good news they had

:07:24. > :07:29.heard over the course of the last couple of days. So court proceedings

:07:30. > :07:33.in Madrid, an ethical and legal debate going on in the UK, but the

:07:34. > :07:34.focus is still on that one little boy in a hospital room on the fourth

:07:35. > :07:39.floor of this building behind me. We can speak now to

:07:40. > :07:52.our legal affairs correspondent, What happens next? The Crown

:07:53. > :07:56.Prosecution Service have gone to a court in this country and persuaded

:07:57. > :07:58.a district judge there are reasonable grounds of suspecting his

:07:59. > :08:02.period of having committed a criminal offence. There have been no

:08:03. > :08:08.charges, but reasonable ground for suspicion. That triggered the rest

:08:09. > :08:12.in Spain and this afternoon either his parents will agree to the

:08:13. > :08:15.extradition and return to the UK swiftly, or they will seek to fight

:08:16. > :08:19.it. If they do it could be a matter of weeks or months. And it is

:08:20. > :08:23.difficult to resist and fight extradition under this fast-track

:08:24. > :08:27.system that was brought in after the September the 11th attacks. It is to

:08:28. > :08:34.facilitate the fast return of those suspected of criminal offences. The

:08:35. > :08:40.uncomfortable aspect is that there is a five-year-old boy in hospital

:08:41. > :08:43.with no access to his parents. That will be determined by whether the UK

:08:44. > :08:49.authorities resist an application for bail. If they do, and bail was

:08:50. > :08:54.not granted, because the parents are deemed to be at risk of flight, one

:08:55. > :08:57.of the grounds for resisting a bail application, then they will perhaps

:08:58. > :09:03.be in custody for weeks or months. We'll find out later this afternoon

:09:04. > :09:06.what the government's plans are to tackle the threat from Islamist

:09:07. > :09:07.extremists. All weekend the Conservatives have

:09:08. > :09:10.been in talks with Liberal Democrats over proposals for temporary bans

:09:11. > :09:12.on fighters travelling home Plans which some senior Lib Dems

:09:13. > :09:25.have warned could be illegal. The Prime Minister says the threat

:09:26. > :09:29.is greater than ever. But what exactly should now be done to keep

:09:30. > :09:31.the country safe with Mac several hundred British nationals are

:09:32. > :09:36.thought to have travelled to Iraq and Syria to join Islamic State

:09:37. > :09:39.fighters. Some may already have come back and others could return

:09:40. > :09:44.prepared to carry out violence here. Someone coming back from that sort

:09:45. > :09:47.of area has got to prove to the likes of me and everyone else in

:09:48. > :09:51.this country that they're not coming back to do us harm. Otherwise we as

:09:52. > :09:54.politicians would be remiss in our duty.

:09:55. > :09:59.Over the weekend and again this morning senior ministers met to

:10:00. > :10:03.consider the options. Tightening up existing protections and considering

:10:04. > :10:07.some new measures. Plans to make it easier to seize passports, temporary

:10:08. > :10:09.bans on British fighters travelling home from conflict abroad and

:10:10. > :10:16.stricter surveillance. Labour want stronger laws to restrict the

:10:17. > :10:21.movement of suspects, like the old control orders now replaced by

:10:22. > :10:22.lesser powers. If you do that the police can keep a

:10:23. > :10:26.lesser powers. If you do that the better eye on them and you can

:10:27. > :10:30.remove them from their associates where they are plotting. If we put

:10:31. > :10:37.that power back into those orders we now have, that would be used. MPs

:10:38. > :10:40.will have to consider whether existing terror laws need to be

:10:41. > :10:41.strengthened. If ministers insist that they do,

:10:42. > :10:45.strengthened. If ministers insist that any new package would have to

:10:46. > :10:48.have enough political support and be legally watertight. Even if the

:10:49. > :10:54.authorities can identify suspect and obtain enough evidence against them,

:10:55. > :10:58.could they be detained at airports without being arrested? Wherewith

:10:59. > :11:05.they then go? With a passports be removed even temporarily? If you

:11:06. > :11:14.have a passport removed and you are British citizen it could present

:11:15. > :11:16.problems with various UN conventions on statelessness. Parliament has

:11:17. > :11:22.been faced with dilemmas such as this before. Upholding freedom while

:11:23. > :11:26.at the same time doing everything to keep us safe.

:11:27. > :11:32.Let's speak to our Assistant Political Editor, Norman Smith.

:11:33. > :11:41.How difficult will it be to get agreement? Well agreement has only

:11:42. > :11:45.been reached in the last few minutes which underlines the difficulties

:11:46. > :11:51.involved in securing agreement between the Liberal Democrats and

:11:52. > :11:53.the Conservatives. The Liberal Democrats much more cautious about

:11:54. > :11:59.restrictions on British citizens and even temporarily barring British

:12:00. > :12:02.subjects returning to the UK. At difficulties above all in ensuring

:12:03. > :12:08.any new measures are legally watertight and do not crumble in the

:12:09. > :12:11.courts as has so often be the case with counterterrorism legislation.

:12:12. > :12:15.When the Prime Minister gets up I suspect what we will hear is strong

:12:16. > :12:21.language about generational threat we face, and new measures, but

:12:22. > :12:28.precious little new legislation. But I think that tells us is firstly, it

:12:29. > :12:32.is comparatively easy to talk about cracking down on terrorism but much

:12:33. > :12:37.harder to come up with specific legislative measures to do so. And

:12:38. > :12:40.also in the view of ministers, it underlines that we are involved in a

:12:41. > :12:45.long generational struggle and in that struggle, argument, opinion,

:12:46. > :12:50.expressing British values, maybe much more important than simply

:12:51. > :12:51.coming up with an endless list of new pieces of counterterrorism

:12:52. > :13:02.legislation. Millions

:13:03. > :13:03.of children return to school this And this term they're also having to

:13:04. > :13:07.cope with a new, tougher, Five-year-olds will be learning

:13:08. > :13:10.fractions and computer coding, while students in early secondary

:13:11. > :13:12.school will have to study According to the Department

:13:13. > :13:15.for Education, the aim is to prepare children

:13:16. > :13:18.for "life in modern Britain". Though some teachers have warned

:13:19. > :13:32.they haven't had enough time to get Max is ten years old and taught

:13:33. > :13:37.himself coding. I started coding when I was six. He started typing in

:13:38. > :13:45.instructions like these with that laptop and it helped him our

:13:46. > :13:51.websites and android apps. Coding, you can do so much with it. It gets

:13:52. > :13:55.you so creative. If you get coding in schools it might not seem as fun

:13:56. > :14:00.any more. You do not want to learn something in school out of school.

:14:01. > :14:04.That is the challenge ahead for the government. They want teachers in

:14:05. > :14:12.England to crack coding just like Max and make mandatory computer

:14:13. > :14:15.lessons interesting. It is one of the biggest changes to the National

:14:16. > :14:18.Curriculum in 26 years so over the summer teachers have been learning

:14:19. > :14:24.all about coding at sessions like this to get them ready to teach the

:14:25. > :14:30.subject in time for the new school term.

:14:31. > :14:33.I think most primary schools are not repaired for this September and it

:14:34. > :14:37.will take time and a lot of the Fort.

:14:38. > :14:41.You want to be able to know your subject as well as you possibly can.

:14:42. > :14:48.To be able to deliver that to students. I have spent so much of my

:14:49. > :14:50.own time getting myself ready. Schools in Scotland, Wales and

:14:51. > :14:52.Northern Ireland said they had no plans to make computer programming

:14:53. > :14:56.mandatory but they say it is plans to make computer programming

:14:57. > :15:00.mandatory but they say still an important part of their curriculum.

:15:01. > :15:10.The National Association of head teachers believe the changes in

:15:11. > :15:15.England have come too soon. It would have given us opportunity to drip

:15:16. > :15:19.feed it into the curriculum. But as long as people do not expect them to

:15:20. > :15:23.be built in a day. The government said teachers have had over a year

:15:24. > :15:26.to prepare. They are confident that mandatory computer lessons including

:15:27. > :15:33.coding will benefit children. We need to teach them how to programme,

:15:34. > :15:38.how to build and understand how a computer works. That is what the new

:15:39. > :15:42.curriculum will deliver. Schools in England are settling into the

:15:43. > :15:48.changes. Max one day once to turn his love of coding into a career.

:15:49. > :16:05.The hope is many other children will follow.

:16:06. > :16:06.received -- release new footage of the so-called Plebgate incident. It

:16:07. > :16:09.led to the resignation of Andrew Mitchell. It was said it was the

:16:10. > :16:15.first time it could be published because of criminal and disciplinary

:16:16. > :16:19.proceedings. Does this tell us anything new? This is a closing

:16:20. > :16:25.report and it is unusual for the police to mark the end of an

:16:26. > :16:28.investigation by putting so much detail out there, including these

:16:29. > :16:34.videos. It was controversial and I think they wanted the public to have

:16:35. > :16:37.all the information. The video shows new angles on an incident that has

:16:38. > :16:49.been so much talked about. This camera, you can see Andrew Mitchell

:16:50. > :16:53.talking to two police officers, who said he could not go through the

:16:54. > :16:57.main gate and had to go through the pedestrian gate. This conversation

:16:58. > :17:03.lasted about 36 seconds. He moves off and it is at that point he is

:17:04. > :17:14.alleged to have called the police officers plebs. There is no sound so

:17:15. > :17:18.there is no way of confirming that. One of the officers involved said

:17:19. > :17:22.there were people who could overhear what is being said and they were

:17:23. > :17:27.visibly shocked by what they heard. We can see in the picture there is

:17:28. > :17:32.one person who is close enough to hear, and even that is arguable.

:17:33. > :17:39.That particular account is pretty much discredited by these pictures.

:17:40. > :17:44.The end product of this is there have been disciplinary hearings for

:17:45. > :17:51.four officers and four dismissed and one sent to prison for effectively

:17:52. > :17:54.writing to his MPs saying he was the person who overheard the

:17:55. > :17:56.conversation and not saying he was a serving Metropolitan police officer.

:17:57. > :18:08.Watt the top story. The parents of a five-year-old with

:18:09. > :18:18.a brain tumour are appearing in court in Madrid facing extradition.

:18:19. > :18:23.And remembering the warhorses. Later on BBC London, a study suggests many

:18:24. > :18:28.of London's parents want local councils to have more control over

:18:29. > :18:37.school places. And Watford's head coach quits.

:18:38. > :18:39.Ukraine's president has accused Russia of direct and open

:18:40. > :18:42.aggression and said the conflict had now changed in a radical way.

:18:43. > :18:45.There's still fierce fighting in the east of the country

:18:46. > :18:47.between Ukrainian troops and pro-Russian separatists.

:18:48. > :18:50.Today the Russian foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov,

:18:51. > :18:56.Representatives from Ukraine, Russia and the Organisation for Security

:18:57. > :19:02.and Cooperation in Europe are meeting today to discuss the crisis.

:19:03. > :19:10.Here's our world affairs correspondent, Mike Wooldridge.

:19:11. > :19:12.In the region at the centre of an intensifying diplomatic

:19:13. > :19:16.crisis, pro-Russian separatists prepare to fight.

:19:17. > :19:20.One leader said they were heading to Donetsk airport, shut at the end

:19:21. > :19:22.of May after clashes between rebels and government forces.

:19:23. > :19:35.It has been under the control of the military ever since.

:19:36. > :19:44.The Foreign Minister repeated denials of Russian involvement. He

:19:45. > :19:51.said talks on the Ukraine crisis were about an imminent and

:19:52. > :19:59.unconditional cease-fire. But international concern is now

:20:00. > :20:08.focusing on the key sports city -- port city of marry. -- marry Paul.

:20:09. > :20:18.Residents took to the streets yesterday to protest and to pray for

:20:19. > :20:23.peace. Ukraine's president used a gathering of military cadets today

:20:24. > :20:28.to accuse Russia of what he called direct and open aggression against

:20:29. > :20:33.his country, said it has radically changed the situation in the zone of

:20:34. > :20:38.conflict. The US and Europe have charged rusher with sending troops

:20:39. > :20:43.to intervene in Ukraine. European security organisation said today it

:20:44. > :20:48.was hard to confirm the presence of regular Russian forces within

:20:49. > :20:53.Ukrainian territory. That said, Australia has stepped up its

:20:54. > :20:59.sanctions against Russia. I want to make it clear that the bullying of

:21:00. > :21:05.small nations by big ones and assertions that might is right

:21:06. > :21:08.should have no place in our world. In the latest development on the

:21:09. > :21:17.ground, Ukrainian officials say their troops have retreated from the

:21:18. > :21:20.airport close to this rebel stronghold after coming under

:21:21. > :21:23.artillery fire. We can speak to our diplomatic correspondent. A lot of

:21:24. > :21:27.people will ask what Vladimir Putin is up to. It seems to have been a

:21:28. > :21:34.turnaround in the past week. It looked like the Ukrainian army was

:21:35. > :21:41.on its way to crushing the rebels, but they are retreating because the

:21:42. > :21:46.rebels seem to have more men. Vladimir Putin said he did not

:21:47. > :21:50.supply it and he wants peace and a cease-fire. It seems to me what he

:21:51. > :21:55.is trying to say to the Ukrainian president is he cannot win against

:21:56. > :22:02.Russia's military might and has no option but to start peace talks.

:22:03. > :22:06.There is a NATO summit taking place at the end of the week, perhaps he

:22:07. > :22:11.is also signalling to the Ukrainian resident that they will not come to

:22:12. > :22:18.their military aid. They will not want to take on Russia directly for

:22:19. > :22:23.fear of war in Europe. What he has wanted all along, a peace deal, that

:22:24. > :22:27.allows the rebels to have an autonomous region inside Ukraine, so

:22:28. > :22:30.they would have a veto over decisions Kiev would want to

:22:31. > :22:45.undertake before example to join NATO. Would it work? I do not know.

:22:46. > :22:49.Far, when he has upped the anti-it has led them to harden their stance.

:22:50. > :22:56.Thank you. Mobile phones are on and cheque

:22:57. > :22:59.books are out on the final day of what is the most expensive transfer

:23:00. > :23:02.window in British football history. By 11 o'clock tonight, we'll know

:23:03. > :23:05.exactly who's gone where - but there's already been at least one

:23:06. > :23:16.big name arrival at Old Trafford. Manchester United have been the

:23:17. > :23:20.Premier League's biggest spenders this summer and today they have

:23:21. > :23:29.another high-profile arrival, the Colombian striker Radamel Falcao,

:23:30. > :23:35.arriving on loan from Monaco. He has a reputation as one of the world's

:23:36. > :23:40.most prolific goal-scorers and is valued at around 50 billion. This is

:23:41. > :23:45.quite a deal for Manchester United, who have spent a record-breaking

:23:46. > :23:49.?150 million on new players as they tried to recover from the

:23:50. > :23:53.disappointment of last season. It is not just here at Manchester United,

:23:54. > :23:59.clubs in the Premier League are spending more on new players than

:24:00. > :24:06.ever. ?745 million spent across the Premier League in this transfer

:24:07. > :24:09.window. That has smashed last summer's record. Wigmore transfers

:24:10. > :24:16.expected, the final total could be up to the ?1 billion mark. They are

:24:17. > :24:22.getting more money than ever from a bumper TV deal, which is why they

:24:23. > :24:26.are spending. The deadline is 11pm. Expect a frenetic few hours as clubs

:24:27. > :24:27.tried to sign the player who could make the difference between success

:24:28. > :24:31.and failure. Their contribution in the First

:24:32. > :24:33.World War was highlighted in the play War Horse and today the animals

:24:34. > :24:37.and men of the British Cavalry 100 years ago, they helped to

:24:38. > :24:41.stop the German advance on Paris. It changed the course of the

:24:42. > :24:43.Great War but was also the last time cavalry on horseback

:24:44. > :24:47.took part in a major action. And today they are remembered

:24:48. > :24:49.in the French town of Nery, Those who have seen

:24:50. > :25:03.their passing have spoken Over the past five days,

:25:04. > :25:09.the khaki-clad column has clattered through the lanes

:25:10. > :25:13.and villages north of Paris. Every rider represents one regiment

:25:14. > :25:17.amongst the many driven south Some carry personal mementos

:25:18. > :25:24.from family members who survived My great-grandfather was

:25:25. > :25:30.Lieutenant John Gage Williams of the 19th Hussars, and he was shot

:25:31. > :25:33.here in November 1914. I'm now wearing his dog tags

:25:34. > :25:36.along with my own. My own I last wore in Afghanistan,

:25:37. > :25:39.and his were last worn 100 years In late August 1914, long before

:25:40. > :25:45.the stalemate of trench warfare, cavalry still played a vital part

:25:46. > :25:48.in the Allied response to a German Cavalrymen could move quickly,

:25:49. > :25:54.scout ahead of the infantry, On the foggy morning of September

:25:55. > :26:05.the 1st, British cavalry and artillery were

:26:06. > :26:13.under fire from a much larger force. Today, crowds will watch part

:26:14. > :26:16.of that story unfold on the field where three Victoria

:26:17. > :26:25.Crosses were won in just an hour. Amid the carnage, the crew of

:26:26. > :26:29.the surviving field gun fought on. The hero of the day was

:26:30. > :26:31.really Captain Bradbury. He managed to summon up

:26:32. > :26:34.the troops to man the guns and take on the Germans as they were

:26:35. > :26:38.shelling from the higher ground. And you can see from the picture,

:26:39. > :26:42.you just get a sense of the terrible casualties, both amongst

:26:43. > :26:44.the men and the horses here. They lost all the horses

:26:45. > :26:50.of the battery. British casualties were relatively

:26:51. > :26:52.light, but hundreds This ceremony marks the loss of

:26:53. > :27:07.life. Going home and looking back

:27:08. > :27:10.and just looking at the past week at what I've done, I feel very

:27:11. > :27:13.proud, and I hope the families of the deceased do feel proud too,

:27:14. > :27:19.because we won't let them forget. NASA has released new footage

:27:20. > :27:26.showing a series There've been more than half

:27:27. > :27:29.a dozen on the surface of the sun over the last week

:27:30. > :27:45.and that means we'll soon be feeling It has been a pretty busy week for

:27:46. > :27:51.the sudden, cosmically speaking. NASA's pictures prove the point. On

:27:52. > :27:55.the left, a huge explosion of radioactive material, it is a solar

:27:56. > :28:02.flare. Over the past days there have been more than half a dozen similar

:28:03. > :28:05.eruptions. Look at this image with particles of superheated energy

:28:06. > :28:11.shooting thousands of kilometres out into space. It is not just about

:28:12. > :28:18.pretty pictures. The solar wind travels through the cosmos and can

:28:19. > :28:22.reach us on earth. Satellite communications could be affected

:28:23. > :28:28.amongst other things. At the very least, you will get to see a

:28:29. > :28:33.wonderful display, like the Northern lights. This is what happens when

:28:34. > :28:37.solar winds hits the Earth's atmosphere. The solar flares do not

:28:38. > :28:41.appear to be aimed in our direction, so we can breathe easy.

:28:42. > :28:49.But they are an extraordinary sight, nonetheless. But will it be getting

:28:50. > :28:56.any warmer? We will feel the effects of the

:28:57. > :29:04.September sun here and there this week, but not necessarily

:29:05. > :29:08.everywhere. The sunshine, that is the big question for the week ahead.

:29:09. > :29:13.The weather is settled this week. Not much rain after today. It will

:29:14. > :29:19.feel warm. Why is the weather settled? We have high-pressure

:29:20. > :29:24.building from the Atlantic. The problem today is the weather front

:29:25. > :29:33.across eastern and central England. It is providing a dismal Monday

:29:34. > :29:38.here. Further west, sunshine. It might brighten up in north-east

:29:39. > :29:45.England but for East Anglia and the South East, grey with rain and

:29:46. > :29:51.drizzle for the rest of today. Brighter skies in the west. In

:29:52. > :30:01.north-west England some sunshine. Parts of Scotland, also. With the

:30:02. > :30:06.light wind, feeling pleasant. Overnight, some showers across East

:30:07. > :30:16.Anglia. Rain clearing from the South East. The most, it is dry after

:30:17. > :30:21.midnight. It will be not a cold night, with temperatures in double

:30:22. > :30:24.figures. Tomorrow, they could be a few fog patches around. Bear that in

:30:25. > :30:36.mind if you are heading back to work. The east remaining trapped

:30:37. > :30:40.throughout the day. One or two spots of drizzle across the East where

:30:41. > :30:52.temperatures may be held down if it stays gloomy. Up into the 20s. There

:30:53. > :30:59.should be no problems at Edgbaston, but it might be cloudy. That might

:31:00. > :31:04.break up in the afternoon. From Wednesday, we have high-pressure in

:31:05. > :31:14.control. That means settled weather and another dry day for most. The

:31:15. > :31:16.temperatures climbing higher, up to 24 degrees. We still have

:31:17. > :31:31.high-pressure in charge on Thursday. A reminder of the top story. The

:31:32. > :31:35.parents of a five-year-old boy with a brain tumour are appearing in

:31:36. > :31:37.court in Madrid facing extradition to the UK. Now,
