Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at One. | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
A draft of Labour's general election manifesto has been leaked, | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
and it includes radical plans to renationalise the railways | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
and Royal Mail, to scrap university tuition fees in England, | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
and to end the public sector pay cap. | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
The long document also includes plans to fund the NHS and social | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
care through an increase in income tax for higher earners. | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
The manifesto is due to be formally launched next week, | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
and is being discussed today by the Shadow Cabinet. | :02:29. | :02:30. | |
Our Political Correspondent Eleanor Garnier reports. | :02:31. | :02:40. | |
It wasn't meant to be like this. Labour's first election launch, they | :02:41. | :02:48. | |
had wanted to focus on attacking the Tories. Good morning, everyone. | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
Instead, it is their leaked manifesto everyone is talking about. | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
A draft version now out there for all to see, a whole week early. This | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
morning, though, no sign of the leader as originally planned. He was | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
meant to be here, but these things happened, and Mr Corbyn is dealing | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
with internal matters. So it was left to others in Labour to play | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
down the significance of the league. The draft includes proposals to | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
nationalise the railways and the postal service, a plan to create | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
publicly owned energy companies in every region of the OK plus the | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
introduction of price caps, and commitment to abolish tuition fees | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
as well as ?8 billion social care. This is an extremely modern, | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
progressive set of proposals. And it's looking to the long-term future | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
and most people are extremely at what they have seen. What if you? It | :03:45. | :03:51. | |
certainly wasn't. The details might be out but the manifesto is not | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
finalised. We are here to decide the final word, I am sure it will be an | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
exciting programme to attract as many voters as possible to the | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
Labour Party. It's being agreed by senior figures today. Are you | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
responsible for the league? Don't be silly. They are hoping that | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
decisions will help win over the public. Ordinary voters want the | :04:13. | :04:20. | |
abolition of zero our contract, agency workers dealt with, | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
nationalisation of the railways. So what did people at Coventry station | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
make of the claims? It's a good idea, they should nationalise | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
everything, bring it back to how it was. Jeremy Corbyn generally has the | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
right idea, so if you think it is the right idea, I am linked to | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
listen. It will just be a gravy train run by left wing think tanks, | :04:43. | :04:51. | |
people in London. It is clear not all in Labour think that he has a | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
clear message. The Tories are 20 points ahead in the polls, it is the | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
Tory manifesto that people need to be focusing on. Labour MPs are | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
trying to save as many good Labour MPs as possible so we have a | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
semblance of an opposition after the election. One key question remains, | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
how many of the major spending commitments be met? Mr Corbyn's | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
allies insist all of the policies in the final document will be fully | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
funded. So far, there's little detail the draft. There's no | :05:20. | :05:26. | |
doubting the Labour leader's polarity among his own supporters. | :05:27. | :05:33. | |
But to win this election, -- his popularity among his own supporters. | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
But to win this election, he will need to win over much wider support. | :05:37. | :05:38. | |
Our Assistant Political Editor Norman Smith is outside | :05:39. | :05:40. | |
Is this damaging, this league? -- this leak? This suggests a degree of | :05:41. | :05:56. | |
fear and loathing, distrust and disloyalty at the top of the Labour | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
Party. But those around Mr Corbyn say at least this enables them to | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
set out the radical agenda they are thinking about. Some are even | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
speculating, maybe it was Jeremy Corbyn's team who leaked this draft | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
manifesto. We do not know that, but we do know that this is the most | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
extensive manifesto of modern times, it is a humongous Lydia Ko shopping | :06:18. | :06:26. | |
list, a cornucopia of proposals and pledges, everything from a big | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
Bonanza pledge like 1 million more homes and small things like free | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
Wi-Fi on the trains and banning pesticides that hurt bumblebees. It | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
is probably the most left-wing manifesto of any recent would-be | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
Labour government, the big iconic left-wing proposals such as | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
renationalising the railways, chunks of the energy industry, state | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
intervention to cap rises in people's rents. That said, it is | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
also probably the most extensive manifesto of any modern Labour | :06:59. | :07:05. | |
Party, with huge spending pledges such as ?8 billion for social care. | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
Billions for reversing benefit cuts. 11 billion to pay for scrapping | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
tuition fees. And while this trough to manifesto may be packed with | :07:14. | :07:20. | |
odysseys, it's -- with policies, it is decidedly short on sums to show | :07:21. | :07:22. | |
how they are going to be paid for. Two key policy areas | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
in Labour's leaked manifesto Our correspondent Gillian Hargreaves | :07:26. | :07:27. | |
looks first at the party's pledge to abolish university tuition | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
fees in England. They've got | :07:31. | :07:36. | |
cause for celebration, earn around ?200,000 more | :07:37. | :07:42. | |
in your lifetime than somebody Which is one of the reasons why | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
the Coalition Government raised fees to ?9,000 a year | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
for students in England. But when they did, there were riots | :07:50. | :07:55. | |
on the streets, and now Labour promises to | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
scrap fees altogether. I reckon it's a good | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
idea for the students, but for the Treasury, | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
not so much. Up until now, my | :08:08. | :08:09. | |
education has been free. Why do I have to pay at 18 onwards, | :08:10. | :08:11. | |
nine grand per year? Well, perhaps some | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
students would say that. When 7% of the population went | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
to university, the government could afford to pay tuition fees, but now | :08:20. | :08:26. | |
more than half of all 18-year-olds If the government | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
paid for all of their tuition fees, the bill | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
would be huge. Well, abolishing tuition fees adds | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
to borrowing in the short run Of course, the government | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
is already paying for student fees, it's just getting | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
that money back, well, two thirds of that money back | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
from graduates in the long run. So the long run cost to | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
the government of abolishing fees is When it comes to paying | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
for university, opposite direction to the Tories, | :08:59. | :09:05. | |
but there's little detail yet on how and when it would | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
introduce the change. Another pledge in the | :09:10. | :09:11. | |
leaked manifesto is to Richard Lister is at | :09:12. | :09:18. | |
Kings Cross station in London. But have passengers been saying? I | :09:19. | :09:39. | |
did a thoroughly nonscientific side survey of the ten people I first | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
came across, seven were in favour of nationalisation and three were | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
against, that proves nothing. But its chimes closely with what opinion | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
polls have been saying nationally for the past few years. The clear | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
majority of people tell opinion polls that they are in favour of | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
nationalised railways. That is remarkable when you consider the bad | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
old days of the old nationalised British rail which was something of | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
a byword for British decline by the time it was fully privatised 20 | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
years ago. Labour says this time it would be different, if you put the | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
passenger first on your spending, you can freeze fares, you can give | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
free Wi-Fi to everybody on board, and you can improve disabled access | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
to trains. And of course, few would argue that privatisation has been an | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
unqualified success over the past 20 years. Certainly fares have | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
increased more sharply than inflation and trains, many trains | :10:34. | :10:36. | |
are hugely overcrowded. The Tories say that still better than British | :10:37. | :10:42. | |
rail, and they point to the fact that privatisation has led, since | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
2000, to a much better safety record and also much more punctual | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
services. The counterargument to that is that Network Rail is | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
responsible for a lot of those implements and Labour points to the | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
fact that Network Rail, in charge of tracks and stations, is a public | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
body and taxpayer money has gone into improving the services we now | :11:07. | :11:07. | |
use. The Conservatives have said that | :11:08. | :11:09. | |
if they win the election, they will increase defence spending | :11:10. | :11:12. | |
by 0.5% more than The Defence Secretary Michael Fallon | :11:13. | :11:14. | |
also said the Conservatives would continue to meet the pledge | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
to spend at least 2% It's a growing defence budget, | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
it's properly financed. We meet the Nato 2% target | :11:21. | :11:27. | |
and we think that it's right to commit to that for the rest | :11:28. | :11:29. | |
of this parliament, so that our Armed Forces | :11:30. | :11:32. | |
have the equipment that they need The Green party have | :11:33. | :11:35. | |
launched their election In a speech, the party's co-leader | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
Caroline Lucas said that Britain's prosperity depends | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
on the natural world. We're the only party that puts | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
the environment at the heart And we do it quite simply | :11:50. | :11:51. | |
because a prosperous, thriving future will be green...or | :11:52. | :11:57. | |
not at all. And a reminder, you can keep up | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
to date with all the developments throughout the campaign, | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
and live events, on the BBC news And if you're on the move | :12:08. | :12:09. | |
you can follow the election The Bank of England is predicting | :12:10. | :12:15. | |
only moderate growth for the UK economy this year with a squeeze | :12:16. | :12:24. | |
on households' incomes, as wages rise more | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
slowly than prices. Interest rates have | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
kept on hold at 0.25%. Looking further ahead, | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
the forecast is brighter, although as our economics | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
correspondent Andrew Verity reports, a lot depends on the impact | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
of Brexit negotiations. Here is one element of the cost | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
of living that is shooting up. The wholesale price of butter has | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
doubled in the last year, according Producers and shops | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
are passing on some, but not At the last count, | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
the retail price of oils and fats like butter was up | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
by 15.5% compared to last year. As for the price of | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
butter as for the whole economy, the big question | :13:07. | :13:08. | |
is, is this inflation I think for the Bank of England, | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
they are really trying to work out how persistent the rise | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
that we are seeing in inflation at the moment is going to be, and | :13:17. | :13:19. | |
struggle that against the context which is a UK economy | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
that is weakening, looking a little bit soggy, | :13:23. | :13:25. | |
certainly in terms of activity, people looking for new houses and | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
properties coming onto the market. A UK economy that is | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
also facing Brexit. The official consumer price index | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
measure of inflation got down But now, it's back | :13:39. | :13:40. | |
above the 2% target. The Bank of England | :13:41. | :13:46. | |
is now predicting it will carry on rising, peaking | :13:47. | :13:49. | |
later this year at 2.8%. The wages that people | :13:50. | :13:52. | |
are getting are not going to be sufficient to compensate | :13:53. | :13:54. | |
for the rises in consumer prices, And so this is going to be a more | :13:55. | :13:57. | |
challenging time for British households over | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
the course of this year. One big reason for higher | :14:02. | :14:06. | |
price rises is the pound. Because it dropped | :14:07. | :14:13. | |
in value both before need more pounds to get hold | :14:14. | :14:15. | |
of the dollars and Euros we need The projected inflation | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
entirely reflects the The depreciation caused by market | :14:21. | :14:37. | |
expectations of a material adjustment to the UK's medium term | :14:38. | :14:39. | |
prospect as it leaves the EU. The bank's confident | :14:40. | :14:42. | |
prediction is that the effect of the weaker pound | :14:43. | :14:44. | |
will be select next year and that workers will not seek to beat | :14:45. | :14:47. | |
inflation by On that basis, interest | :14:48. | :14:49. | |
rates may have to rise a little in the next three | :14:50. | :14:52. | |
years, but only very slightly. Three women have appeared | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
in court today, including a mother and daughter, | :14:57. | :14:58. | |
charged with terrorism offences They include 21-year-old | :14:59. | :15:00. | |
Rizlaine Boular, who was shot by police during a raid | :15:01. | :15:07. | |
at a property in Willesden Our home affairs correspondent | :15:08. | :15:10. | |
June Kelly is at Westminster This case is said to involve an | :15:11. | :15:24. | |
alleged plot involving a knife attack in Westminster. In the dock | :15:25. | :15:30. | |
we had a mother, Mina Dich, 43, her daughter, Rizlaine Boular, 21, and a | :15:31. | :15:35. | |
third woman, Khawla Barghouthi, it was Rizlaine Boular -- Rizlaine | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
Boular who was shot two weeks ago. They are accused of conspiring to | :15:41. | :15:46. | |
murder person or persons unknown. Rizlaine Boular is accused of | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
engaging in conduct preparing for terrorist acts on the other two are | :15:51. | :15:55. | |
charged with assisting her in this. All three were wearing Islamic | :15:56. | :15:58. | |
dress. The mother and daughter both had their faces fully covered. The | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
senior district Judge, Emma Roberts not, ask them to adjust their veils, | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
so she could see their eyes, which they did. Mina Dich chose to recover | :16:08. | :16:13. | |
all of her face for most of this hearing. As they left the dock, she | :16:14. | :16:17. | |
waved to relatives in the public gallery. All three women have been | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
remanded in custody and their next appearance will be at the Old Bailey | :16:22. | :16:24. | |
on May the 19th. June Kelly. | :16:25. | :16:31. | |
A marketing company which made nearly 100 million nuisance calls | :16:32. | :16:33. | |
has been fined a record ?400,000 by the Information | :16:34. | :16:36. | |
Keurboom Communications made automated calls | :16:37. | :16:42. | |
to people encouraging them to make insurance claims. | :16:43. | :16:45. | |
We've all had them, at any time of day or night. | :16:46. | :16:56. | |
The call, the click on the line and then the recorded | :16:57. | :16:59. | |
message, about PPI or a car accident. | :17:00. | :17:01. | |
Today, Kerboum Communications was fined ?400,000 | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
One said, these calls disrupt my work, cause | :17:07. | :17:18. | |
unnecessary anxiety and make me very angry. | :17:19. | :17:20. | |
Another, a victim of stalking, complained, "I am harassed | :17:21. | :17:21. | |
by my ex-partner through calls and text messages, and so unsolicited | :17:22. | :17:26. | |
Companies can only call if they have our permission. | :17:27. | :17:34. | |
Kerboum didn't, but made the calls enemy. | :17:35. | :17:38. | |
It has now gone bust, so may not pay the fine. | :17:39. | :17:45. | |
If the director, who was responsible for the company, | :17:46. | :17:53. | |
think we would have a much better chance of success, and we think it | :17:54. | :17:57. | |
It seems tougher action on rogue cold | :17:58. | :18:04. | |
I think it's rude to call people up and interrupt their day when they're | :18:05. | :18:07. | |
I find it rude, I would never do that someone else, so I just think | :18:08. | :18:14. | |
As soon as I put it down and say no, or take me off or | :18:15. | :18:19. | |
whatever, I want to be of this research, then they'll phone back. | :18:20. | :18:22. | |
The industry itself welcomes tighter regulation. | :18:23. | :18:24. | |
At the moment, it may well be in a bad place, and people | :18:25. | :18:27. | |
don't really trust the calls coming through to their phone. | :18:28. | :18:30. | |
But if we were able to get rid of the vast | :18:31. | :18:32. | |
majority of these nuisance callers, then it would re-establish itself | :18:33. | :18:35. | |
But some think fines are not enough, and only the threat of | :18:36. | :18:40. | |
prison for company bosses will put a stop to the nuisance calls. | :18:41. | :18:43. | |
Waiting times for a number of key NHS services in England | :18:44. | :18:48. | |
were the worst in four years, according to analysis of figures | :18:49. | :18:51. | |
More people waited more than four hours to be seen in A, and cancer | :18:52. | :19:01. | |
Our Health Editor Hugh Pym is with me. | :19:02. | :19:08. | |
Talk is through the figures. This is key performance targets for the NHS | :19:09. | :19:15. | |
in England. For the whole financial year. We got figures for March, | :19:16. | :19:19. | |

health foundation, or shows across the whole year there were 2.5 | :19:23. | :19:26. | |
million people waiting longer than the four our standard to be treated | :19:27. | :19:30. | |
are assessed in A and that's a really big increase on five years | :19:31. | :19:38. | |
ago, when the figure was more like 720 5000. On another key performance | :19:39. | :19:44. | |
benchmark, how long you have to wait for cancer treatment once there's | :19:45. | :19:50. | |
been an urgent referral by your GP, it should be 62 days, two months. It | :19:51. | :20:01. | |
was 26,000 people waiting longer than that for the full year. Quite a | :20:02. | :20:05. | |
big increase on the figure for 2011-12, which was just over 14,000. | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
A worsening across all key measures. How much of this is about simply | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
more people using the NHS? That's what are NHS England made clear, | :20:14. | :20:16. | |
more people are coming through the NHS and getting treated. That should | :20:17. | :20:21. | |
never be ignored, in looking at how these performance figures stack up. | :20:22. | :20:24. | |
They are also saying in March, things were better than in February. | :20:25. | :20:28. | |
There's been a slight improvement during the course of this year. That | :20:29. | :20:31. | |
shows the historic trend. You could be dealing with more patients, but | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
you still have to hit these targets. It's in the NHS Constitution. That's | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
going to be a dilemma for whoever forms the next government, how do | :20:41. | :20:42. | |
you carry on delivering what patients have been told they should | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
expect when you are dealing with more and more patients. Hugh Pym, | :20:47. | :20:47. | |

from all over the United Kingdom. In 1967 the first 10 | :21:57. | :22:03. | |

the old technology. I absolutely loved | :22:29. | :22:31. | |
my three years here. My dad often said the Star College | :22:32. | :22:41. | |
was the equivalent to an Eton I think it is essential | :22:42. | :22:46. | |
to have specialised schools and colleges for students | :22:47. | :22:51. | |

anniversary, it's expanding, although as a charity, | :23:27. | :23:28. | |
uncertainties around funding make But being bold is what | :23:29. | :23:32. | |
National Star is all about. The whole ethos here is to realise | :23:33. | :23:39. | |
the aspirations of disabled people, and today, just for fun, | :23:40. | :23:43. | |
they're doing that - The tailored support the young | :23:44. | :23:46. | |

negotiator Michel Barnier has addressed the Irish Parliament - | :24:04. | :24:14. | |
an honour usually only reserved Mr Barnier highlighted | :24:15. | :24:17. | |
the complexity of issues relating to the border with Northern Ireland | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
- and what that means Our Ireland correspondent | :24:22. | :24:24. | |
Chris Page was listening. Yes, until today, the only visitors | :24:25. | :24:40. | |

been president sometime in is to come in the likes of Nelson Mandela | :24:44. | :24:46. | |
and John F. Kennedy. The fact that Michel Barnier has been invited to | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
do so today shows how seriously the Irish government is taking Brexit. | :24:51. | :24:56. | |
The key issue, the border between the Irish Republic and Northern | :24:57. | :25:00. | |
Ireland remain open? Mr Barnier said again he doesn't want any new | :25:01. | :25:03. | |
controls to be introduced, but he did acknowledge that because the UK | :25:04. | :25:06. | |
is leaving the European customs union, finding a resolution would be | :25:07. | :25:07. | |
difficult. Brexit changes the border | :25:08. | :25:12. | |
with the EU, but I will work The UK's departure from the EU | :25:13. | :25:14. | |
will have consequences. We have together the duty | :25:15. | :25:20. | |
to speak the truth. Custom controls are part | :25:21. | :25:30. | |
of EU border management. They protect our food | :25:31. | :25:33. | |
safety and standards. But as I already said many times, | :25:34. | :25:40. | |

to occupy Mainz, but for today, Michel Barnier's address to the | :26:02. | :26:05. | |

and hear Mr Beckham's The reaction, more than a few | :29:35. | :29:37. | |
critics have been a bit... All these negative comments | :29:38. | :29:51. | |

he has no plans to take up Good afternoon. There's a change | :30:20. | :30:39. | |
taking place across the South. There's a lot of fine, dry weather, | :30:40. | :30:43. | |
particularly across the northern half of the country. This is from | :30:44. | :30:46. | |
County Antrim, a good example of how it's looking further north. To the | :30:47. | :30:50. | |
south, the change I mentioned is taking place. There's more cloud | :30:51. | :30:54. | |
around and a few showers, like the picture shows in West Sussex. That's | :30:55. | :30:57. | |
because we've got this area of low pressure, which is slowly moving up | :30:58. | :31:02. | |
from south. It's introducing thicker cloud and rain and tied in with it, | :31:03. | :31:06. | |
more humid, muggy air from the near continent. It is making inroads | :31:07. | :31:09. | |
across the country, particularly for England and Wales. You will notice | :31:10. | :31:12. | |
that for the next couple of days. Lots of sunshine to the north. To | :31:13. | :31:17. | |
the south, more cloud. When we get the sunshine breaking through, | :31:18. | :31:20. | |
temperatures lift, scattered showers and thunderstorms will develop. It's | :31:21. | :31:23. | |
difficult to say where they will form, but the focus could be along | :31:24. | :31:28. | |
the M4 corridor. There could be a torrential downpour and it will feel | :31:29. | :31:33. | |
warm and muggy, maybe 23 Celsius. Quite a warm feeling day for the | :31:34. | :31:38. | |
north-west of good. The further north you are, the dryer. For much | :31:39. | :31:41. | |
of Northern Ireland and Scotland are finite -- a fine afternoon. It will | :31:42. | :31:46. | |
feel chilly because of the North Sea Breeze. The thunderstorms will | :31:47. | :31:50. | |
rattle on across the South and we'll see another pulse of rain moving | :31:51. | :31:53. | |
north this evening, some getting towards Northern Ireland. There | :31:54. | :31:56. | |
could be maybe thundery bursts, because it will be a warm and muggy | :31:57. | :32:00. | |
night for England and Wales. Double figures. Clear skies for Scotland, | :32:01. | :32:05. | |
one or two chilly spots. For Friday, a cloudy day. The best of the | :32:06. | :32:09. | |
sunshine across western Scotland, may be towards north-west England. A | :32:10. | :32:13. | |
cool feeling day for eastern Scotland. Further south, warm and | :32:14. | :32:16. | |
muggy and further showers developing. Some could be thundery, | :32:17. | :32:23. | |
particularly through central areas of England and Wales. Around the low | :32:24. | :32:26. | |
20s, one of the warmest spot is closer than the high teens further | :32:27. | :32:29. | |
north. For the weekend, fairly unsubtle. Some sunny spells, | :32:30. | :32:33. | |
scattered showers and we'll lose the humidity, particularly on Sunday. It | :32:34. | :32:38. | |
will feel fresher. This is the picture for Saturday. The | :32:39. | :32:39. | |
south-eastern quadrant of the country could get away with a dry | :32:40. | :32:43. | |
day, sunshine and feeling quite warm. Further north and west, | :32:44. | :32:48. | |
breezy, some heavy showers and sunny spells. We'll see the weather front | :32:49. | :32:52. | |
sweep across the country during Saturday night. It will leave a | :32:53. | :32:55. | |
fresh regime for Sunday. A mixture of sunshine and showers. | :32:56. | :32:58. |
