:02:36. > :02:41.tackling exploitation at work, clarifying the law, and removing
:02:42. > :02:44.distortions in the labour market created by the tax system, those are
:02:45. > :02:49.the ambitious goals of the review of the world of work by the government.
:02:50. > :02:56.Matthew Taylor says the economy has created a record quantity of jobs.
:02:57. > :02:59.Too often, they are not good jobs. The bad work, insecure,
:03:00. > :03:04.exploitative, controlling, is bad health and well-being, something
:03:05. > :03:07.that generates cost of honourable he people, but also the wider society.
:03:08. > :03:10.As the world of work changes, our factors is and laws must properly
:03:11. > :03:18.reflect and accommodate those changes. Because good work is in the
:03:19. > :03:21.interests of good business. These licensed cabs really are
:03:22. > :03:25.self-employed, they own their cars and get work from anyone that books
:03:26. > :03:31.them. What would change that, as if they were controlled and supervised
:03:32. > :03:36.by a company? Report says, in that case, that company should pay
:03:37. > :03:40.benefits, like sick pay and holiday pay, and pay national insurance, as
:03:41. > :03:45.if they were employees. The report says an equal tax treatment creates
:03:46. > :03:49.distortions. The government loses out on ?5.1 billion a year from
:03:50. > :03:55.lower rates of national insurance paid on self-employed labour. By
:03:56. > :03:59.2020, we will lose another 3.5 billion a year because people form
:04:00. > :04:02.their own companies to avoid tax. So it calls for companies using
:04:03. > :04:06.self-employed labour, who paid no national insurance, to pay more. The
:04:07. > :04:12.government should look at new rights for this employer, like parental
:04:13. > :04:17.leave. Some work isn't taxed at all, cash in hand, which deprives the
:04:18. > :04:21.government and other taxpayers ?6 billion a year. Some cleaners,
:04:22. > :04:25.decorators, or gardeners, are paid cash in hand. The others that aren't
:04:26. > :04:29.evading tax are at a disadvantage, it is harder to compete on price.
:04:30. > :04:35.Moving to electronic payments can tackle that. There is a huge black
:04:36. > :04:41.market economy, where there are lots of crash transactions. Workers will
:04:42. > :04:44.be going into people's homes on recommendation, but also we are up
:04:45. > :04:50.against the new gig economy, which is digital platforms that link
:04:51. > :04:53.customers to consumers, and also agencies, which I called grey
:04:54. > :04:59.market, because they often subcontract and unregulated
:05:00. > :05:02.workforce. That can keep costs down, because they don't have all of these
:05:03. > :05:07.additional employment costs. The report says that workers like curry
:05:08. > :05:10.is paid by the task, they have two proved they can come to be make a
:05:11. > :05:17.fifth more than the minimum wage. Maggie took the courier firm that
:05:18. > :05:21.she works for to caught. We have been fighting for two years, a bit
:05:22. > :05:25.over two years to get to a point where we can access justice and make
:05:26. > :05:33.things better for a whole new generation of people. And it seems
:05:34. > :05:39.like they are rubber-stamping a lot of the awful operations that already
:05:40. > :05:43.exist. The report has drawn a disappointed response from workplace
:05:44. > :05:47.unions, who say it is not the Game Changers a hub for to end in
:05:48. > :05:50.security at work. Less disappointed will be the Treasury, which if
:05:51. > :05:52.recommendations are adopted stands to gain more from tax, so there is
:05:53. > :05:57.less of a need to cut spending. With me is our Economics
:05:58. > :06:03.Editor Kamal Ahmed. I suppose the big question is, is
:06:04. > :06:08.anything actually going to change as a result of this? You are absolutely
:06:09. > :06:12.right. Not many people would disagree with good work, it is like
:06:13. > :06:16.disagreeing with apple pie. There are interesting ideas in the report,
:06:17. > :06:20.which goes to the heart of how people work, not just in the gig
:06:21. > :06:24.economy, not just zero-hour contracts, but generally, is your
:06:25. > :06:27.work good work? Do you feel fulfilled in that work? I was at the
:06:28. > :06:31.launch with the Prime Minister and Matthew Taylor, and I asked that
:06:32. > :06:40.question, how can the Prime Minister, in a position where the
:06:41. > :06:42.government doesn't have a majority, how can she drive through the
:06:43. > :06:45.legislation on this issue to get these changes that Matthew Taylor
:06:46. > :06:48.has recommended and Andy Verity was reporting on? That is the big issue.
:06:49. > :06:53.We have had lots of reports that gather dust on long forgotten
:06:54. > :06:57.Whitehall shelves, how do we make sure this isn't one of those? She
:06:58. > :07:04.did this open armed approach, working with other parties to the
:07:05. > :07:07.get this through Parliament. We will only know in the autumn when the
:07:08. > :07:12.government does a specific was once, and what do labour and the Liberal
:07:13. > :07:17.Democrats do? Do they agree to come together to push this through
:07:18. > :07:20.Parliament or not? There is already disagreement, the TUC say they
:07:21. > :07:23.haven't gone far enough. It is difficult to see how we can make
:07:24. > :07:33.sure the good ideas in this report become reality. Thank you.
:07:34. > :07:35.The Prime Minister has ordered an inquiry into the contaminated
:07:36. > :07:37.blood scandal that left 2,400 people dead.
:07:38. > :07:38.Those affected include many haemophiliacs who died
:07:39. > :07:40.from hepatitis C and AIDS-related illnesses after receiving
:07:41. > :07:43.contaminated blood products from the NHS in the 1970s and 1980s.
:07:44. > :07:52.Our Health Editor Hugh Pym is in Westminster.
:07:53. > :07:58.Remind us more about what happened and what has been announced today.
:07:59. > :08:03.It has been called the worst disaster in the history of the NHS,
:08:04. > :08:07.because these were patients treated, in the case of haemophiliacs, they
:08:08. > :08:13.needed blood clotting products. These were imported from the United
:08:14. > :08:19.States, and they came into the UK tainted with hepatitis C and HIV.
:08:20. > :08:26.2400 patients, receiving treatment in good faith, contracted these
:08:27. > :08:32.diseases and died. Thousands more were infected. It has been seen as a
:08:33. > :08:36.burning injustice by the victims, and the families, and it has been
:08:37. > :08:41.acknowledged now by ministers as an injustice. What happened is the
:08:42. > :08:45.government is set, there is a debate in the Commons right now on the
:08:46. > :08:48.subject, the history of contaminated blood, the government will confirm
:08:49. > :08:53.details of a full enquiry, which will be UK wide. The interesting
:08:54. > :08:57.thing is, we have already had an enquiry paid for by the victims, a
:08:58. > :09:02.private enquiry headed by a judge, which covered largely England. There
:09:03. > :09:07.has been an enquiry by a Scottish judge, Lord Penrose, reported just
:09:08. > :09:11.over a year ago. But the victims have never felt, and the families,
:09:12. > :09:15.have never felt that the enquiries got to the heart of the matter. Was
:09:16. > :09:20.there a cover-up in Whitehall? There have been admissions of documents
:09:21. > :09:24.going missing about who knew what when in the civil service. Senior
:09:25. > :09:29.health officials, did they know the products were tainted and take no
:09:30. > :09:34.action to stop it happening? That is the thing the enquiry will have to
:09:35. > :09:37.get to the heart of, following a letter from opposition leaders to
:09:38. > :09:54.the government early on Sunday to call for justice. Thank you.
:09:55. > :09:55.The Foreign Secretary, Boris Johnson, has agreed
:09:56. > :09:58.with a Conservative MP that the European Union can "go
:09:59. > :10:01.whistle" for any final payment from the UK when it leaves.
:10:02. > :10:04.Speaking in the House of Commons, he also said there was no plan
:10:05. > :10:06.for what to do in the event that Britain fails to strike
:10:07. > :10:10.Our Political Correspondent Chris Mason is in Westminster.
:10:11. > :10:14.Using some colourful language here, Chris. Yes, indeed. Boris Johnson is
:10:15. > :10:18.the chief diplomat as the Foreign Secretary, and we use to him using
:10:19. > :10:25.colourful language on his poncho for dashing the odd splash for colourful
:10:26. > :10:29.vocabulary around. If there was a diplomat's dictionary, there will be
:10:30. > :10:31.plenty of words in there, but not the ones he decided to use in the
:10:32. > :10:33.Commons in the last hour. The sums that I have seen
:10:34. > :10:35.that they propose to demand from this country seem to me to be
:10:36. > :10:42.extortionate, and I think "to go whistle" is
:10:43. > :10:50.an entirely appropriate expression. There was no plan to no deal. You
:10:51. > :10:53.may remember that the Prime Minister to the general election campaign
:10:54. > :10:58.said that no deal was better than a bad deal when it came to the Brexit
:10:59. > :11:03.negotiations. Boris Johnson offering an alternative perspective on that.
:11:04. > :11:06.And disputing a suggestion from Labour that the Chancellor and the
:11:07. > :11:09.first Secretary of State were the view that there could be a long
:11:10. > :11:15.period after Brexit where the remained under the remit of the
:11:16. > :11:18.European Court of Justice. Some interesting reflections there from
:11:19. > :11:22.the Foreign Secretary. He also suggested that in the fullness of
:11:23. > :11:29.time, as he put it, there will be a subtle nurse that descends on
:11:30. > :11:33.negotiations to come. Not much subtlety from him today. Thank you.

:12:48. > :12:51.What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you, Emin?
:12:52. > :12:57.According to Goldstone, it was Agalarov who asked him
:12:58. > :12:59.to broker the meeting between Donald Trump Jr
:13:00. > :13:06.Trump Jr sarcastically made light of the fact he might be
:13:07. > :13:08.offered compromising information about Hillary Clinton
:13:09. > :13:10.at the meeting, saying he was obviously the first person
:13:11. > :13:14.in the campaign to ever hear information about an opponent.
:13:15. > :13:17.But the New York Times is now reporting he was told before
:13:18. > :13:19.the Trump Tower meeting that the Russian government
:13:20. > :13:29.With Congressional committees and a special prosecutor investigating
:13:30. > :13:33.possible collusion between the Trump team and the Russians,
:13:34. > :13:37.the new details have been dismissed as much ado about nothing by lawyers
:13:38. > :13:41.For the President's supporters, this is more evidence of an American
:13:42. > :13:43.media establishment obsessed with Russia and trying
:13:44. > :13:45.to consistently undermine his authority.
:13:46. > :13:50.And as Donald Trump still tries to establish,
:13:51. > :13:54.himself on the world stage, news that a controversial state
:13:55. > :13:58.visit to Britain is now likely to be delayed until next year,
:13:59. > :14:01.after concerns that a trip before then could be disruptive.
:14:02. > :14:12.It's believed that more than 200 million women worldwide
:14:13. > :14:15.who want family planning services still don't have them.
:14:16. > :14:17.Today, a conference in London is aiming to improve access

:14:56. > :14:58.getting to get the at a summit in London to look at how they can get
:14:59. > :15:04.more contraceptives to women and girls in the poorest countries. The
:15:05. > :15:06.philanthropist co-hosting the conference believes special
:15:07. > :15:12.attention needs to be given to teenagers. The biggest population of
:15:13. > :15:16.adolescence we have ever had in the history of Europe is now coming to
:15:17. > :15:21.the developed world. If we don't offer them contraceptives, you are
:15:22. > :15:25.basically putting them into a life of destitute poverty, whereas if you
:15:26. > :15:29.can offer a girl contraceptives, she will stay in school. She will tell
:15:30. > :15:34.you, I want to stay in school, I don't want to have a baby until I am
:15:35. > :15:38.ready. Earlier this year, Donald Trump announced controversial plans
:15:39. > :15:41.to cut America's aid budget for family planning and plays tough
:15:42. > :15:45.restrictions on how the remaining money gets used. Britain is one of
:15:46. > :15:50.the countries worried about the impact of those changes. There are
:15:51. > :15:54.many areas where we work with America. We will continue to work
:15:55. > :15:59.with America. But obviously, this is an area where we are not seeing eye
:16:00. > :16:03.to eye. We believe this is not an area where we can stand still,
:16:04. > :16:07.because the human consequences are enormous, there are too many women
:16:08. > :16:15.and girls, 214 million women and girls don't get access to modern
:16:16. > :16:18.family planning measures. The UK is already the second biggest country
:16:19. > :16:29.donor in family planning. Today, it is announced more money, ?225
:16:30. > :16:32.million will be spent until 2022. The government hopes the money will
:16:33. > :16:35.empower more women to have kids when they want. And to stay in education

:18:02. > :18:04.there's a Lancaster, a couple of Spitfires and hurricanes as well,
:18:05. > :18:08.and in the last hour or so they have been airborne, giving a display in
:18:09. > :18:16.front of the Duke of Cambridge and veterans as well as part of a very
:18:17. > :18:21.special display. For 60 years they RAF Cosford a special squadron of
:18:22. > :18:24.preserved World War II planes. It remembers the veterans who flew in
:18:25. > :18:33.these aircraft and those killed in action. I was a pilot and engineer,
:18:34. > :18:37.in the front, so I took care of the engineering aspect of the aircraft,

:18:49. > :18:53.open the doors and dropout. This veteran is thrilled such a plane is
:18:54. > :19:02.still flying. Great, it's a real memory. I actually flew Tiger moths,

:19:15. > :19:22.of 1940, fought in the skies over southern England it was won by a
:19:23. > :19:27.handful of RAF pilots. Such was the achievements of the RAF that in the
:19:28. > :19:31.late 1950s, a small flight of Spitfires and hurricanes was formed
:19:32. > :19:35.to preserve the memory of the service's finest hour. In later
:19:36. > :19:41.years the ever popular Lancaster bomber was added to what had become
:19:42. > :19:45.known as the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight. Today Prince
:19:46. > :19:49.William, the patron of the flight, came to RAF Coningsby to mark 60
:19:50. > :19:54.years of displays by the vintage aircraft. The Prince, himself a
:19:55. > :20:04.former RAF pilot, spent time talking to the veterans and this afternoon

:20:45. > :20:49.What's happening here this afternoon is they are lining the planes up so
:20:50. > :20:54.the veterans can have their pictures taken in front of them, and the sad
:20:55. > :20:57.reality is that every time this happens there are fewer veterans
:20:58. > :21:01.here to come to these events so that's why it's so special for the

:21:19. > :21:21.be monitored remotely by a team that can track physical activity,
:21:22. > :21:25.John Maguire has been to find out how it works.
:21:26. > :21:28.For Phil and June Bell, the home they've lived in for 30
:21:29. > :21:34.years is very definitely where there hearts are.
:21:35. > :21:36.They're trialling technology that should help June
:21:37. > :21:44.She was diagnosed with dementia a year ago.
:21:45. > :21:46.One of our aims has always been to stay as long
:21:47. > :21:48.as we can within the home, our home.
:21:49. > :21:51.And what the technology's done is enable us to do that.
:21:52. > :21:54.Because we intend to die in our beds, so to speak!
:21:55. > :21:56.You said it makes you feel safer, doesn't it.
:21:57. > :22:10.Yeah, to think that somebody's out there, concerned about me,
:22:11. > :22:12.and I think that's, you know, quite touching, really.
:22:13. > :22:20.Various sensors in the house monitor June's movements and activity.
:22:21. > :22:31.Phil also regularly checks her health,
:22:32. > :22:32.blood pressure and oxygen levels, for example.
:22:33. > :22:35.The information is then immediately sent to this clinical monitoring
:22:36. > :22:37.team and staff here can combine June's medical and environmental
:22:38. > :22:46.data to build up a fuller picture of her health.
:22:47. > :22:48.You can look at some of the motion data here,
:22:49. > :22:55.Also, we see how often she was in bed.
:22:56. > :23:02.We can get some body temperature, and all the data,
:23:03. > :23:05.suggest if she's becoming agitated or not, is there
:23:06. > :23:11.Putting everything together could give us a good picture
:23:12. > :23:14.There are currently 200 patients with mild or moderate
:23:15. > :23:16.dementia on the trial, based in the Surrey
:23:17. > :23:19.And they're looking for more volunteers.
:23:20. > :23:21.A red stethoscope and an on-screen alert warns the team
:23:22. > :23:25.They may then call the household, enlist help from medical teams,
:23:26. > :23:30.or ask staff from the Alzheimer's Society to pay a visit.
:23:31. > :23:35.The results of the trial, the first of its kind in the UK,
:23:36. > :23:38.won't be known until next year, but early indicators are positive.

:23:41. > :23:43.safe and secure in the knowledge that help, if needed,
:23:44. > :23:45.is just a phone call or a mouse click away.
:23:46. > :23:53.We drink 55 million cups of coffee every day in this country,
:23:54. > :23:56.but there is still confusion about the impact it
:23:57. > :24:01.Two international studies released today suggests coffee drinkers have
:24:02. > :24:07.longer life expectancy but others have urged caution,
:24:08. > :24:09.saying there's no proof coffee drinking is good for you.
:24:10. > :24:15.Our Health Correspondent Sophie Hutchinson reports.
:24:16. > :24:23.It is estimated that more than 2 billion cups of coffee are drunk
:24:24. > :24:29.each day around the world, but is it good for you? Today two studies
:24:30. > :24:34.published in the journal claimed an association between drinking more
:24:35. > :24:38.coffee and living longer. Sounds like good news? If these effects
:24:39. > :24:41.were relieved you to the coffee and carried on throughout your life,
:24:42. > :24:46.they would estimate that every extra cup a day would extend a man's life
:24:47. > :24:50.by about three months and a woman's life by about one month. But the
:24:51. > :24:54.larger of the two studies which examined data from half a million
:24:55. > :24:58.Europeans excluded people who had had heart attacks, cancer and
:24:59. > :25:19.diabetes, and both studies which lasted 16 years only asked people
:25:20. > :25:23.once how much coffee they drank. Just because people who drink coffee
:25:24. > :25:25.live longer, that doesn't mean it is the coffee that's causing it. There
:25:26. > :25:28.may be other explanations like their income, physical activity, and the
:25:29. > :25:30.studies try to take these things into account. So what do we know
:25:31. > :25:32.about coffee? Some studies have linked it to heart risk factors such
:25:33. > :25:35.as raised cholesterol, while others suggest it may offer some protection
:25:36. > :25:37.for the heart, but there is no conclusive evidence either way.
:25:38. > :25:41.Confused? Well, too much coffee is bad and pregnant women are advised
:25:42. > :25:43.to limit their intake. Otherwise it seems drinking coffee is fine, but
:25:44. > :25:45.so is abstaining. The British Grand Prix comes
:25:46. > :25:49.to Silverstone this weekend, but could it be one of the last
:25:50. > :25:52.at the historic track? Silverstone's owners are expected
:25:53. > :25:56.to announce that they will activate a break clause in their contract,

:26:15. > :26:18.to cash and they cannot seem to make the sums add up despite it being one
:26:19. > :26:24.of the best attended races of the season. The hosting fee is so high,
:26:25. > :26:28.70 million at the moment and rising, and to give you an idea this Sunday
:26:29. > :26:34.even with a full house the owners can expect to make ?4 million loss
:26:35. > :26:38.so clearly not viable, and it doesn't receive government support.
:26:39. > :26:44.If they cannot renegotiate, we might lose it all together. There is no
:26:45. > :26:48.alternative to Silverstone at the moment, that is why there is a
:26:49. > :26:55.stand-off between them and Liberty media, the owners of F1, they have
:26:56. > :27:01.told the BBC that priority is to find a solution with Silverstone.
:27:02. > :27:05.But when we should be talking about Lewis Hamilton, with are talking
:27:06. > :27:11.about maybe losing a British Grand Prix for the first time since 1950.
:27:12. > :27:14.If you're backing the Brits at Wimbledon, today
:27:15. > :27:18.is another big day as Johanna Konta continues her

:27:35. > :27:37.And as the racket went up, for just one moment,
:27:38. > :27:43.her guard came down as Johanna Konta continued her Wimbledon charge.
:27:44. > :27:46.It's those positions, those situations that you...
:27:47. > :27:49.That I dream of... when I was a little girl and even
:27:50. > :27:54.now to be a part of those battles on big stages.
:27:55. > :27:57.So I think that's really what it's about to be a
:27:58. > :28:00.Before this year, Konta had only managed
:28:01. > :28:03.to win one match in five visits to Wimbledon, but victory today
:28:04. > :28:06.would take her a step closer to the ultimate aim -
:28:07. > :28:09.becoming the first British woman to win the singles
:28:10. > :28:17.Johanna Konta into sporting superstardom.
:28:18. > :28:25.Expectations are, of course, high this year and so far,
:28:26. > :28:29.she is controlling her emotions in a very positive way.
:28:30. > :28:39.I think it is a result of her mental hard work in the past.
:28:40. > :28:41.Konta's journey actually began in Australia where she was
:28:42. > :28:46.born to Hungarian parents before moving to the UK, aged 14.
:28:47. > :28:49.There was one time I came in from the courts
:28:50. > :28:54.outside, I think it was freezing cold, I think she had six layers
:28:55. > :28:58.on, outside on an artificial clay-court and her enthusiasm and
:28:59. > :29:00.hard work, I just thought it was great.
:29:01. > :29:04.And I came in and said to her father, I said, "This is top 5%
:29:05. > :29:08.Konta is now turning that potential into reality.
:29:09. > :29:12.Three more wins and her dreams will come true.
:29:13. > :29:18.And David joins us live from Wimbledon now.
:29:19. > :29:27.Such an exciting day, David. The weather has taken a turn for the
:29:28. > :29:31.worse, but fortunately Centre Court has a roof so Johanna Konta will
:29:32. > :29:35.play, and delighted to be joined by the last British woman to reach the
:29:36. > :29:41.quarterfinals of Britain 33 years ago, what will Johanna Konta be
:29:42. > :29:45.going through today? She will be so excited and a little bit nervous of
:29:46. > :29:49.course because it is a very big match, but she is playing well. To
:29:50. > :29:52.get to the quarterfinal of a grand slam you are playing well so you
:29:53. > :30:00.have that confidence riding with you. How did you feel that day? What
:30:01. > :30:07.was your recollection? When I walked on court I couldn't believe the roar
:30:08. > :30:11.of the crowd and I started giggling. I was disappointed I didn't get
:30:12. > :30:15.going in my first set but at the end of the match I was playing well and
:30:16. > :30:20.I wanted it to keep going really. I think she will have a good match
:30:21. > :30:26.today, it will be tough. She will be hoping to emulate you, how far can
:30:27. > :30:33.she go? If she gets passed this match, she could win it because
:30:34. > :30:38.she's in the mix of the eight left. Jane, we hope the weather clears up
:30:39. > :30:39.but Johanna Konta will play regardless. OK, thank you.
:30:40. > :30:50.Today will be the wettest day of this year's Wimbledon Championships,
:30:51. > :30:54.and what a contrast we have had weather-wise compared with the sunny
:30:55. > :30:59.skies we had yesterday. It was another warm day across south-east
:31:00. > :31:04.England with the temperatures surging to 27 Celsius, the 80s in
:31:05. > :31:08.Fahrenheit. Today it is a different story, good news for gardeners. For
:31:09. > :31:12.those without a garden, it is probably not such exciting news is
:31:13. > :31:22.that we will see this heavy rain. And it has already started to come
:31:23. > :31:24.down pretty heavily across parts of southern Wales. It will move
:31:25. > :31:27.eastwards as we go through the rest of the afternoon. A few showers at
:31:28. > :31:30.the moment but we will see them merging into lengthy spells of rain
:31:31. > :31:33.this afternoon. Staying wet across the Midlands, much of Wales and
:31:34. > :31:38.south-west England to take us through the rest of the afternoon.
:31:39. > :31:42.Cumbria and Northumberland just about missing out, staying dry in
:31:43. > :31:47.Northern Ireland with sunny spells, and we will see sunshine and showers
:31:48. > :31:51.in Scotland. It could be slightly slower moving because the winds are
:31:52. > :31:56.not particularly strong. For the Wimbledon forecast, a few showers
:31:57. > :32:03.for the next hour so on and frame, but later the rain will be set in.
:32:04. > :32:07.Overnight tonight, this band of rain will be with us for most of the
:32:08. > :32:11.night, perhaps poking back into Yorkshire and north Lincolnshire
:32:12. > :32:14.before it becomes restricted to south-east England. Overnight these
:32:15. > :32:19.are the temperatures in towns and cities, cooler than that in Scotland
:32:20. > :32:22.and Northern Ireland in the countryside. Tomorrow we have this
:32:23. > :32:27.band of rain to start the day, a soggy start in south-west England
:32:28. > :32:31.but the rain pulls away and high pressure moving in so long spells of
:32:32. > :32:35.sunshine across the country. It is not particularly humid at the moment
:32:36. > :32:40.so in the sunshine it will feel pleasant with temperatures near the
:32:41. > :32:46.average for the time of year. What about Friday on the weekend? Well,
:32:47. > :32:50.it looks like we will see this area of high pressure still with us is go
:32:51. > :32:54.into Thursday so another dry day with sunshine, and a few isolated
:32:55. > :32:58.showers possible western areas and later in the day for western
:32:59. > :33:05.Scotland where the wind will pick up. Looking at highs between 17 in
:33:06. > :33:09.Glasgow to 24 in the London area. Through Friday on the weekend, there
:33:10. > :33:13.should be a fair amount of dry weather although probably a spell of
:33:14. > :33:15.rain to take us through Friday night. We should see the highs
:33:16. > :33:19.pushing into the low 20s in London. Reminder of our main
