:00:00. > :00:07.The Prime Minister says the UK will take back control of its laws,

:00:08. > :00:10.when the country leaves the European Union.

:00:11. > :00:13.Government proposals just released stress that the European Court

:00:14. > :00:18.of Jusice would retain no direct jurisdiction.

:00:19. > :00:20.When we leave the European Union, we will be leaving

:00:21. > :00:28.the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice.

:00:29. > :00:36.We will be able to make our own laws. Parliament will make our laws.

:00:37. > :00:39.But as judges will interpret those laws. And the British Supreme Court

:00:40. > :00:41.will be the ultimate arbiter of those laws.

:00:42. > :00:43.We'll have the latest on the government proposals.

:00:44. > :00:46.Princes William and Harry have spoken about the days

:00:47. > :00:48.following their mother's death - Harry spoke of the anger

:00:49. > :00:58.he feels towards the photographers who chased.

:00:59. > :01:04.She had had quite a severe head injury but she was still very much

:01:05. > :01:08.alive. Those people that caused the accident, instead of helping, were

:01:09. > :01:10.taking photographs of her dying on the back-seat.

:01:11. > :01:12.President Trump launches a lengthy tirade against the media,

:01:20. > :01:21.from parts of Birmingham, after leaving a trail

:01:22. > :01:29.And how well are you protecting your identity?

:01:30. > :01:37.A warning that identity theft has reached a record high.

:01:38. > :01:40.And coming up in the sport on BBC News, Conor McGregor arrives

:01:41. > :01:43.in Las Vegas ahead of what could be the most lucrative fight in boxing

:01:44. > :02:06.history, against the undefeated Floyd Mayweather.

:02:07. > :02:09.Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at One.

:02:10. > :02:11.The Prime Minister says the UK will "take back

:02:12. > :02:13.control" of its laws, when the country leaves

:02:14. > :02:18.The government has published a legal paper on how disputes could be

:02:19. > :02:22.resolved in the future trade relationship with the EU,

:02:23. > :02:24.which stresses that the UK will leave the jurisdiction

:02:25. > :02:30.Ministers have pointed out that the ECJ has no influence over

:02:31. > :02:33.the EU's trade deals with Canada or Singapore, so the UK

:02:34. > :02:39.The government has also stressed that the rights of EU citizens

:02:40. > :02:41.living in the UK after Brexit will be protected by

:02:42. > :02:46.Critics say European judges could retain some influence.

:02:47. > :02:58.Our political correspondent, Leila Nathoo, reports.

:02:59. > :03:06.It is the EU's highest legal authority. The European Court of

:03:07. > :03:09.Justice settles disputes within the EU, and enforces its rules.

:03:10. > :03:13.Judgments handed down in Luxembourg are binding on the UK and all member

:03:14. > :03:18.states. The government has long been clear that after Brexit that will

:03:19. > :03:21.have to change. We will take back control of our laws and bring an end

:03:22. > :03:25.to the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice in Britain. Leaving

:03:26. > :03:28.the European Union will mean that our laws will be made in

:03:29. > :03:34.Westminster, Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast. And those laws will be

:03:35. > :03:39.interpreted by judges not in Luxembourg, but in court across this

:03:40. > :03:44.country. And so today, proposals for a new way forward. New arrangements

:03:45. > :03:48.for policing our future relationship with the EU. We have issued a paper

:03:49. > :03:52.which shows a number of ways in which it would be possible to

:03:53. > :03:55.resolve disputes. What businesses want to know is that in future

:03:56. > :04:00.relationships, if a dispute arises, how will it be possible to resolve

:04:01. > :04:03.that? We are very clear, we won't have the jurisdiction of the

:04:04. > :04:06.European Court of Justice. We will put in place arrangements to ensure

:04:07. > :04:12.businesses have the confidence of knowing they can continue to trade

:04:13. > :04:17.across the European Union. The European Court of Justice is the

:04:18. > :04:21.bedrock of all EU institutions. Its reach is extensive. Ministers

:04:22. > :04:25.promised today to end specifically the direct jurisdiction of the

:04:26. > :04:32.court. That has punted claims of a climb-down. Pragmatism has won out.

:04:33. > :04:36.The Prime Minister's earlier position making this a red line was

:04:37. > :04:40.always impractical. Now we're moving to a sensible position. Indeed we

:04:41. > :04:45.said at the time this is where we would have two and up to have a

:04:46. > :04:50.compromise. The Prime Minister is recognising there will be a role for

:04:51. > :04:53.the European Court, whether it's in relation to the withdrawal

:04:54. > :05:00.agreement, the transition period or even post Brexit in terms of the ECJ

:05:01. > :05:05.law, the European law we have incorporated into UK law. Restoring

:05:06. > :05:09.the sovereignty of our place -- this place, our Parliament deciding our

:05:10. > :05:15.laws, was one of the key promises of the Leave campaign. It goes to the

:05:16. > :05:18.heart of what Brexit means. Any suggestion European Court of Justice

:05:19. > :05:24.could still hold sway in the UK is unlikely to satisfy Brexiteers. We

:05:25. > :05:26.wish to be independent because European law, European budgets,

:05:27. > :05:34.European requirements don't always sued the UK and are getting in the

:05:35. > :05:38.way of progress. We want to take control and that means ending the

:05:39. > :05:41.role of the European court. Theresa May insists she is sticking to a red

:05:42. > :05:45.line but that could prove a stumbling block in the negotiations.

:05:46. > :05:49.Brussels wants a future role for the European Court and once default

:05:50. > :05:52.matters dealt with first. It won't be an easy ride.

:05:53. > :05:55.So how does the European Court of Justice work and what is its role?

:05:56. > :06:01.Adam Fleming has been to the Court in Luxembourg to find out more.

:06:02. > :06:03.Welcome to the ECJ, where justice is served EU style.

:06:04. > :06:12.The Court of Justice - that's where national courts can ask

:06:13. > :06:15.for EU laws to be clarified, and EU countries can get

:06:16. > :06:21.and the general court, where decisions made by the European

:06:22. > :06:24.institutions can be challenged by countries, companies,

:06:25. > :06:33.But remember, this is absolutely not the European Court of Human Rights.

:06:34. > :06:36.That's part of a separate organisation, that's not the EU.

:06:37. > :06:39.So, it's not part of the Brexit process.

:06:40. > :06:43.That is totally different, totally separate.

:06:44. > :06:49.Well, recent rulings, which impact you and me,

:06:50. > :06:52.included a decision that if you fall sick during annual leave from work,

:06:53. > :07:00.Plus, it was the ECJ which decided anyone who wanted to access benefits

:07:01. > :07:03.in the UK had to prove they lived in the country.

:07:04. > :07:06.However, the ECJ overruled British tax rules, forcing HMRC

:07:07. > :07:12.to refund some taxes back to a number of businesses.

:07:13. > :07:16.This is every judgment from the 1950s to about 2010

:07:17. > :07:21.To supporters of this place, it's amazing.

:07:22. > :07:26.To critics, these are examples of foreign judges interfering

:07:27. > :07:33.So, where do we think this place will feature in Brexit negotiations?

:07:34. > :07:36.Well, the EU wants a big future role for the ECJ,

:07:37. > :07:39.particularly when it comes to the rights of EU

:07:40. > :07:44.The British government isn't quite so sure.

:07:45. > :07:47.Anyway, case - definitely not - closed.

:07:48. > :07:49.Adam Fleming, BBC News, at the European Court

:07:50. > :08:01.With me now is our legal correspondent, Clive Coleman.

:08:02. > :08:10.In reality, isn't the ECJ still going to have influence? In reality,

:08:11. > :08:15.I think it will continue to have influence. The question is, how

:08:16. > :08:18.much? The government reiterated their position, which is not

:08:19. > :08:22.controversial, which is that when we leave EU law ceases to have direct

:08:23. > :08:27.effect. Judgments in the European Court of Justice ceased to be

:08:28. > :08:31.binding on this country. What follows? There will be a bilateral

:08:32. > :08:35.agreement. There will be a trading agreement. How is that overseen,

:08:36. > :08:38.policed and how are disputes dealt with? There are a number of

:08:39. > :08:43.different scenarios which provide for greater or lesser influence of

:08:44. > :08:47.the ECJ. The government makes it clear if it is a bilateral

:08:48. > :08:51.agreement, the ECJ shouldn't have sold jurisdiction over any

:08:52. > :08:57.arbitration mechanism, nor should the UK. The point is that the EU

:08:58. > :09:02.position is pretty clear. This agreement is made up of EU law, if

:09:03. > :09:07.it looks like event sounds like it, it is the ECJ that should adjudicate

:09:08. > :09:11.on matters of dispute. As we are going to be outside of the EU, we

:09:12. > :09:17.want to trade in, sell our cars, it's difficult to see how the

:09:18. > :09:19.influence of the ECJ can be entirely expunged. Clive Coleman. Thank you.

:09:20. > :09:24.Our political correspondent, Iain Watson, is in Westminster

:09:25. > :09:35.That is very striking to hear. Set against what Theresa May says. It

:09:36. > :09:38.reminds us of the complexity? Yes, it is a complex process, trying to

:09:39. > :09:44.get rid of 40 years of directives and regulations that Bauwens us up

:09:45. > :09:50.with the EU. This document has been pretty well formed. There are some

:09:51. > :09:54.things which are politically quite important in this document. The

:09:55. > :10:00.first thing to state is that the government is saying, it is further

:10:01. > :10:05.UK courts in the future to guarantee the rights of EU residence here.

:10:06. > :10:08.That proved a big stumbling block in early Brexit negotiations. The

:10:09. > :10:13.European Commission still wants a role for the ECJ. The government

:10:14. > :10:17.wants UK courts do have that say. The ECJ is out. The government is

:10:18. > :10:21.right in saying there will be no direct jurisdiction of the ECJ, in

:10:22. > :10:25.the sense they will not automatically follow the rulings any

:10:26. > :10:29.longer. But as Clive Coleman pointed out, it could have a big direct

:10:30. > :10:34.influence. When we get into some of these examples, the government says

:10:35. > :10:38.it wanted it -- bespoke deal. The president it sets out between other

:10:39. > :10:41.countries and the EU, the disputes panel is they have two police future

:10:42. > :10:51.trading arrangements, these are purely examples. Nonetheless, it is

:10:52. > :10:57.a case that Moldova, the decision of the EU Court, the ECJ, in

:10:58. > :11:00.interpreting EU law, is binding on any disputes panel between Moldova

:11:01. > :11:04.and the EU. There are other examples where there is a more flexible

:11:05. > :11:07.arrangement. What the government makes clear is that it doesn't have

:11:08. > :11:12.one particular model in mind but wants to get some discussions under

:11:13. > :11:18.way. It will not be flexible when it comes to EU citizens' rights. Maybe

:11:19. > :11:20.more flexible when it comes to future trading arrangements in its

:11:21. > :11:21.relationship with the ECJ. Ian Watson.

:11:22. > :11:23.Princes William and Harry have described their bewilderment

:11:24. > :11:26.when they encountered grieving crowds, on the day

:11:27. > :11:32.Speaking in a BBC documentary marking 20 years since the death

:11:33. > :11:35.of Diana Princess of Wales, they say walking behind her coffin

:11:36. > :11:43.Our royal correspondent, Nicholas Witchell, reports.

:11:44. > :11:45.It was the week when a nation mourned, and the monarchy

:11:46. > :11:51.At its heart were two boys, William and Harry,

:11:52. > :11:55.Grieving for the loss of their mother, but required

:11:56. > :12:01.by their royal position to appear in public and help assuage

:12:02. > :12:07.In a BBC documentary, William and Harry speak

:12:08. > :12:09.about the numbness and confusion they felt when they were told

:12:10. > :12:14.And in Harry's case it's clear that there still anger

:12:15. > :12:17.towards the French photographers who were pursuing Diana's

:12:18. > :12:23.speeding car in the crash in the Alma tunnel in Paris.

:12:24. > :12:28.I think one of the hardest things to come to terms with is the fact

:12:29. > :12:31.that the people that chased her into the tunnel

:12:32. > :12:37.where the same people that were taking photographs

:12:38. > :12:40.of her while she was still dying on the back-seat of car.

:12:41. > :12:42.And William and I know that, we've been told that numerous

:12:43. > :12:44.times by people that know that was the case.

:12:45. > :12:47.She'd had quite a severe head injury but she was still very much

:12:48. > :12:52.And those people that caused the accident, instead of helping,

:12:53. > :12:55.were taking photographs of her dying on the back-seat.

:12:56. > :13:01.And then those photographs made their way back to news desks.

:13:02. > :13:05.William and Harry were at Balmoral when they heard the news from Paris.

:13:06. > :13:06.They speak up in support of their grandmother

:13:07. > :13:11.And of their father, he tried to do his best for us, says Harry.

:13:12. > :13:21.When they moved from Balmoral to London,

:13:22. > :13:27.And it's clear that they found the experience bewildering.

:13:28. > :13:31.With so many people sobbing and wanting to touch them.

:13:32. > :13:34.Of the decision to walk behind their mother's coffin,

:13:35. > :13:37.both say it was a collective, a family decision and both

:13:38. > :13:41.say they felt a strong sense of duty, even then.

:13:42. > :13:44.When you have something so traumatic as the death

:13:45. > :13:48.of your mother when you're 15, as very sadly many people have

:13:49. > :13:52.experienced, and no one wants to experience,

:13:53. > :13:56.You know, it will either make or break you.

:13:57. > :14:05.I wanted her to be proud of the person I would become.

:14:06. > :14:08.I didn't want worried or her legacy to be that, you know,

:14:09. > :14:11.William and or Harry were completely and utterly devastated by it

:14:12. > :14:15.and that all the hard work and all the love and all the energy

:14:16. > :14:17.that she put into us when we were younger,

:14:18. > :14:22.They were children, coping with their own grief

:14:23. > :14:25.and the attention of a grieving nation, and who kept going to honour

:14:26. > :14:34.And you can see that documentary - Diana, 7 days -

:14:35. > :14:46.President Trump has used a rally in Arizona to launch a blistering

:14:47. > :14:48.attack on media coverage of his response to violence in

:14:49. > :14:55.The president was accused of failing to condemn the white supremacists

:14:56. > :14:57.who clashed with anti-fascist protesters, and for saying

:14:58. > :15:04.But the president told supporters in Phoenix that the "dishonest

:15:05. > :15:05.media" had been selective in its reporting.

:15:06. > :15:18.Teargas and trouble on the streets of Phoenix.

:15:19. > :15:21.The clashes didn't last long, but for a short time they were

:15:22. > :15:24.intense, as riot police cleared protestors from the street after a

:15:25. > :15:31.There have been announcements telling people to go

:15:32. > :15:33.home, telling protestors to leave the area.

:15:34. > :15:36.For a few minutes it was pretty unpleasant, with some

:15:37. > :15:39.tear gas in the air, which was stinging my eyes.

:15:40. > :15:41.But also, the eyes of the people it was aimed at.

:15:42. > :15:43.For the moment it does seem to have worked.

:15:44. > :15:48.It seems to have driven them off down the street.

:15:49. > :15:50.Inside, it had been an animated Donald Trump who had

:15:51. > :15:52.rallied his supporters by denouncing the news media.

:15:53. > :15:55.Mr Trump quoted himself at length, aiming to

:15:56. > :15:57.demonstrate he had wholeheartedly condemned the actions of neo-Nazis

:15:58. > :16:03.in the city of Charlottesville, when a counterprotester was killed.

:16:04. > :16:07.What happened in Charlottesville strikes

:16:08. > :16:15.And tonight, this entire arena stands united in

:16:16. > :16:22.forceful condemnation of the thugs who perpetrate hatred and violence.

:16:23. > :16:24.But the very dishonest media, those people right up

:16:25. > :16:31.They make up stories. They have no sources in many cases.

:16:32. > :16:34.They say, "A source says", there is no such thing.

:16:35. > :16:40.Just like they don't want to report that I

:16:41. > :16:46.spoke out forcefully against hatred, bigotry and violence, and strongly

:16:47. > :16:50.condemned the neo-Nazis, the white supremacists and the KKK.

:16:51. > :16:53.If you want to discover the source of the

:16:54. > :16:57.division in our country, look no further than the fake news and the

:16:58. > :17:03.crooked media, which would rather get ratings and clicks

:17:04. > :17:10.President Trump took his war with the media to a new level

:17:11. > :17:14.tonight, attacking journalists again and again.

:17:15. > :17:18.He clearly regards the best way to defend against criticism

:17:19. > :17:23.of his presidency, as a full throated attack on the messenger.

:17:24. > :17:29.James Cook, BBC News, Phoenix, Arizona.

:17:30. > :17:36.Our correspondent, Gary O'Donoghue, is in Washington.

:17:37. > :17:43.The president is just not giving up on this topic especially in relation

:17:44. > :17:48.to what happened in Charlottesville. He is rerunning this time and again

:17:49. > :17:54.over the last ten days or so. And failing last night to mention this

:17:55. > :17:58.crucial phrase about violence on many sides which really was where

:17:59. > :18:02.the criticism of him came. That was the main point of the criticism,

:18:03. > :18:07.that he did not talk about that last night, he talked about a range of

:18:08. > :18:11.things, having a go at the media, suggesting it had switched off live

:18:12. > :18:16.coverage of cameras including CNN. I can tell you I was watching CNN and

:18:17. > :18:22.they did not switch off live coverage was also threatening to

:18:23. > :18:28.shut down the government if he did not get his way. That means services

:18:29. > :18:32.not being provided, people not getting paid. That could happen in

:18:33. > :18:36.the autumn if he is to be believed. And all shall bash also lashing out

:18:37. > :18:41.that the lead in the country talking about them as having not as good an

:18:42. > :18:44.education as he had and he said I have a bigger and more beautiful

:18:45. > :18:46.apartment than them and I also live in the White House which is really

:18:47. > :18:51.great. Thank you very much. The Prime Minister says the UK

:18:52. > :18:57.will take back control of its laws, when the country leaves

:18:58. > :19:08.the European Union. Wayne Rooney has just announced his

:19:09. > :19:12.retirement from international football.

:19:29. > :19:31.Police in Birmingham have obtained what they're calling landmark court

:19:32. > :19:34.injunctions against suspected members of two criminal gangs,

:19:35. > :19:38.thought to be involved in gun and drugs offences.

:19:39. > :19:41.17 people have been served with a legal order banning them

:19:42. > :19:44.from entering large parts of the city and mixing

:19:45. > :19:50.Our Midlands Correspondent Sima Kotecha sent this report.

:19:51. > :19:52.Early morning and police in Birmingham are getting ready

:19:53. > :19:59.to issue several men with gang injunctions.

:20:00. > :20:02.We are on our way to serve a final gang injunction on a man

:20:03. > :20:07.For the next two years the men won't be able to go

:20:08. > :20:09.to certain parts of the city, they won't be able to meet one

:20:10. > :20:12.another, and they won't be allowed to post material online.

:20:13. > :20:15.Well we are driving through Handsworth, one of the areas

:20:16. > :20:17.where the men will no longer be able to go to.

:20:18. > :20:20.And it is in what is called the exclusion zone and that area

:20:21. > :20:25.stretches from the centre of the city to its outskirts.

:20:26. > :20:29.Here are the 18 men, 12 of whom are already in prison.

:20:30. > :20:31.They're all suspected of having links with two

:20:32. > :20:37.The Burger Bar Boys and the Johnson Crew.

:20:38. > :20:40.House number one, and he is not home.

:20:41. > :20:51.This is often a problem that we get, we can come as early as we like,

:20:52. > :20:53.but we won't necessarily catch them in.

:20:54. > :20:58.And unfortunately we do not have the power of entry

:22:07. > :22:08.The BBC understands the local government ombudsman will now

:22:09. > :22:11.investigate Rotherham Council for its handling of

:22:12. > :22:13.a complaint about the whistleblower Jayne Senior.

:22:14. > :22:15.Our social affairs correspondent Alison Holt has this

:22:16. > :22:24.Rotherham in South Yorkshire is a town emerging from the darkest

:22:25. > :22:26.of times after a child sexual exploitation scandal which showed

:22:27. > :22:30.the authorities ignoring the problem for years.

:22:31. > :22:32.Jayne Senior was a whistle-blower who helped expose

:22:33. > :22:39.For 12 months now she has been investigated by Rotherham Council

:22:40. > :22:43.Speaking about it for the first time, she says it

:22:44. > :22:59.And I feel more vilified than some of the perpetrators in Rotherham.

:23:00. > :23:02.That is how you feel at the moment, you feel vilified?

:23:03. > :23:09.She says she is accused of sharing information

:23:10. > :23:12.inappropriately and of making money from media appearances.

:23:13. > :23:20.It devastates me, I do not receive money for doing interviews.

:23:21. > :23:25.I do not and have not done this for money.

:23:26. > :23:27.Somebody told them that I was earning a significant

:23:38. > :23:41.committee of the charity where Jayne Senior works.

:23:42. > :23:43.We have policies and procedures here to deal with allegations.

:23:44. > :23:45.They have deliberately bypassed those, even

:23:46. > :23:49.when we have asked them to stop, it just seems as though they want

:23:50. > :23:58.Given Rotherham's history, the council has to make

:23:59. > :24:02.sure it investigates all complaints thoroughly.

:24:03. > :24:04.But the question being raised here is about the length

:24:05. > :24:10.The council says it has appointed independent investigators

:24:11. > :24:13.and has a duty to robustly and fairly consider complaints.

:24:14. > :24:17.It also says it cannot comment further.

:24:18. > :24:20.Rotherham has made significant progress over three years with major

:24:21. > :24:27.But for some families, still not enough has changed.

:24:28. > :24:30.This is when she were only a few months old.

:24:31. > :24:34.Gemma Roberts was first exploited in a council run children's home.

:24:35. > :24:37.Her foster parents say as an adult, plagued by the same abusers,

:24:38. > :24:42.she still didn't get the help she needed.

:24:43. > :24:45.The perpetrators that had got Gemma hooked on drugs

:24:46. > :24:48.and lending her money, manipulating her, were coming

:24:49. > :24:59.Police didn't come on two occasions, they came on one.

:25:00. > :25:05.She felt like I felt, that she wasn't listened to.

:25:06. > :25:10.Last February Gemma died of a morphine overdose.

:25:11. > :25:13.She had been waiting three weeks for police to take her statement

:25:14. > :25:16.after being gang raped by her exploiters.

:25:17. > :25:18.They were still there from the care system,

:25:19. > :25:30.South Yorkshire Police said they do not have details

:25:31. > :25:32.of the specific incidents and that they will

:25:36. > :25:46.The Transport Secretary, Chris Grayling, says politicians

:25:47. > :25:49.in the north of England should find the solutions to its regional

:25:50. > :25:52.transport problems, not central government.

:25:53. > :25:54.His comments come as northern leaders are meeting in Leeds calling

:25:55. > :25:56.for more money and a commitment from central government

:25:57. > :25:59.to help improve transport links in the region.

:26:00. > :26:07.Our correspondent Dan Whitworth is in Leeds.

:26:08. > :26:15.How has that comment from Chris Grayling gone down? Not very well as

:26:16. > :26:21.you might imagine. It has been dozens of political business leaders

:26:22. > :26:25.who have meeting here behind me in Leeds all day. Just about wrapping

:26:26. > :26:30.up now. The message is one of unity and speaking with one voice when a

:26:31. > :26:34.call on government to demand more commitment and indeed more money to

:26:35. > :26:38.help improve public transport right across the north of England. This

:26:39. > :26:43.comes in the wake of an article in the Yorkshire Post this morning from

:26:44. > :26:48.Transport Secretary Chris Grayling. The headline says it all, is that to

:26:49. > :26:54.the north to sort out real issues. That left a sour taste with some of

:26:55. > :26:57.the delegates behind me. This is important as the North of England

:26:58. > :27:01.has 15 million people, the tenth largest economy in the EU if it was

:27:02. > :27:05.its own region. So a lot of passion here, Chris Skelley says the

:27:06. > :27:07.government has already spent billions to improve transport

:27:08. > :27:10.networks here in the north. Much more to come on this issue no doubt.

:27:30. > :27:34.deeper the more we go online. Fraudsters harvest personal details

:27:35. > :27:37.used on computers and phones and then use them to apply for loans

:27:38. > :27:41.and insurance products in our names. For one victim, Nick, it took five

:27:42. > :27:47.months to get it all sorted out. A bank account was

:27:57. > :27:59.as a guarantor for a payday loan. I don't know whether that was

:28:00. > :28:02.an online application or not. An application for a credit card

:28:03. > :28:04.was made in my name. The most targeted group

:29:56. > :29:59.us more. This is shock news that we received within the past half an

:30:00. > :30:04.hour. Wayne Rooney, his 14 year international career stretching back

:30:05. > :30:06.to 2002 is over. He has not played for England since November, a

:30:07. > :30:12.friendly against Scotland. He was then dropped from the squad for

:30:44. > :30:55.Good afternoon. A large amount of rain in a short space of time across

:30:56. > :31:01.Northern Ireland last night. Thunderstorms edging their way north

:31:02. > :31:05.east into West of Scotland. We have also seen some heavy and thundery

:31:06. > :31:11.showers in the north of England today. This photograph sent in from

:31:12. > :31:17.Barnsley. Further south it is drier and brighter. A little bit less in

:31:18. > :31:22.the way of rain in Suffolk. The band of rain in the North and Cloud

:31:23. > :31:26.further south edges slowly eased as we move through the day. Pushing up

:31:27. > :31:31.the humid air towards the east and bringing in some fresh air from the

:31:32. > :31:36.West. With some brightness in there as well. So for Northern Ireland and

:31:37. > :31:39.throw the rest of the day sunny spells and showers, some of those

:31:40. > :31:44.could be quite heavy. And it starts to brighten up in the West of

:31:45. > :31:49.Scotland, a little more cloud around in the east. Just some showers

:31:50. > :31:55.around for England and the South West. Starting to feel a bit

:31:56. > :32:00.fresher. But for the south-east we held onto that more humid air.

:32:01. > :32:03.Feeling a little bit warmer but starting to brighten up moving

:32:04. > :32:07.through the day. So it's denied the rain becoming confined to the far

:32:08. > :32:11.Northern Isles. Some showers pushing into Northern Ireland and the West

:32:12. > :32:16.but further east some dry conditions and temperatures a lot fresher than

:32:17. > :32:20.last night. Overnight lows of around 12, 14 Celsius. So tomorrow low

:32:21. > :32:27.pressure in charge in the North West. That will send in some showers

:32:28. > :32:31.to Northern Ireland and Scotland. Slowly moving east. A similar story

:32:32. > :32:36.in the north of England, showers pushing east. But for Wales and

:32:37. > :32:45.Central and southern England a lot of brightness around but feeling

:32:46. > :32:49.fresher. As we move into Friday a similar setup, low pressure stayed

:32:50. > :32:52.in charge in the north-west. And some bands of showers pushing into

:32:53. > :32:59.Northern Ireland and parts of Scotland. Northern England and Wales

:33:00. > :33:02.are little more in the way of brightness with highs of 24 Celsius.

:33:03. > :33:06.That takes us into the weekend and some heavy showers for Scotland,

:33:07. > :33:12.some showers in the south-east as well. A bit of uncertainty in the

:33:13. > :33:16.forecast. At the moment some showers in the north for Saturday and Sunday

:33:17. > :33:20.but not a total wash-out, some sunshine in the mix as well. The

:33:21. > :33:24.question is whether that will last into Monday and at the moment there

:33:25. > :33:26.is some uncertainty so stay tuned and we will keep you up-to-date.
