:00:11. > :00:16.Birmingham. There's horror as a crowd sees them

:00:16. > :00:19.deliberately run over by a car in the early hours of the morning.

:00:19. > :00:24.The three men were protecting their property according to witnesses,

:00:24. > :00:28.today the father of one paid tribute. He was 21 years old. He

:00:28. > :00:31.was a good lad. Everybody in the community here knew him because he

:00:31. > :00:35.stood up for the community. New pictures appear to show police

:00:35. > :00:40.in Manchester upping the ante as David Cameron declares a fightback

:00:40. > :00:45.against the rioters. There are pockets of our society that are not

:00:45. > :00:48.just broken, but, frankly, sick. More than 100 people are arrested

:00:48. > :00:58.in Salford and Manchester as residents argue over what is to

:01:53. > :02:05.

:02:05. > :02:09.Northern Ireland are playing a euro Good evening, welcome to the BBC

:02:09. > :02:13.News at Six. The Prime Minister has declared a fightback against the

:02:13. > :02:16.rioters who have been wreaking havoc in cities across England for

:02:16. > :02:19.the past four nights. In Birmingham there are calls for calm tonight

:02:19. > :02:23.after three men were killed by a car in the early hours of this

:02:23. > :02:26.morning as they tried to protect their community from looters. Today,

:02:26. > :02:29.David Cameron vowed that the violence would be stopped and said

:02:29. > :02:33.he would not allow a culture of fear to exist on our streets. This

:02:33. > :02:40.evening, the father of one of the men who was killed last night has

:02:40. > :02:43.said he doesn't want his son's death to lead to more violence.

:02:43. > :02:46.Claire Marshall is in Birmingham for us now.

:02:46. > :02:49.It's a very sombre mood in this part of the city tonight. There

:02:49. > :02:53.have been meetings with community leaders all throughout the day to

:02:53. > :02:56.make sure that this area remains peaceful this evening. David

:02:56. > :03:00.Cameron has just offered his condolences to the relatives and

:03:00. > :03:06.families of the men that were killed last night. The last thing

:03:06. > :03:10.anyone wants to see around here is more Birmingham deaths.

:03:10. > :03:17.Every scrap of evidence from the crime scene is needed. Police

:03:17. > :03:23.believe the hit and run here last night was murder.

:03:23. > :03:31.The community pays their respects to the three men who were killed.

:03:31. > :03:35.The brothers Shazad Ali and Musaver and Haroon Jahan. This is a picture

:03:35. > :03:41.of him when he was younger. Anything I ever wanted done I would

:03:41. > :03:45.always ask Haroon to sort it out for me, not my eldest or my

:03:45. > :03:51.daughter, but my youngest and they killed him. Friends and neighbours

:03:51. > :03:54.are deeply angry. It's mindless and pointless. It's getting beyond a

:03:54. > :03:59.joke now. We need to all stand together and fight for peace

:03:59. > :04:05.because this is England. We shouldn't be in this war. This is

:04:05. > :04:11.England. I am just disgusted. I am disgusted with the things people

:04:11. > :04:16.are carrying on. Exclusive footage given to the BBC

:04:16. > :04:26.shows the street just after the men were moan down, one of them lies on

:04:26. > :04:30.the ground and a group gathers. This was filmed by a 13-year-old.

:04:30. > :04:35.When I was recording it, it's like you just can't stop shaking, like

:04:35. > :04:39.seeing someone die out in the front on your street, it's just unsafe to

:04:39. > :04:45.be out now. West Midlands Police worry that this may trigger more

:04:45. > :04:51.violence but this time along racial lines. I would appeal to people,

:04:51. > :04:59.particularly at this time, to be calm. If we are calm I am

:04:59. > :05:03.absolutely confident that the people in the West Midlands can get

:05:03. > :05:06.through strange and difficult phase and we can rebuild trust with

:05:06. > :05:09.communities and move on with a sense of purpose. This street is

:05:09. > :05:12.normally thriving, filled with life but the people here are subdued.

:05:12. > :05:15.They're just standing around talking quietly amongst themselves,

:05:16. > :05:20.trying to make sense of what happened here last night. Are

:05:20. > :05:24.people talking about taking revenge? I don't think it will be

:05:24. > :05:27.revenge, because at the end of the day all we were doing was

:05:27. > :05:31.protecting the community. You want your own house to be safe, your own

:05:31. > :05:34.business to be safe, so the best thing you can do is rely on the

:05:34. > :05:38.police, but over the last couple of days sometimes it ain't the best

:05:38. > :05:44.thing to do, just got to bring your own numbers out and just make

:05:44. > :05:50.yourself visible so these people know that this can't happen.

:05:50. > :05:55.Elsewhere in Birmingham last night there was more unrest.

:05:55. > :05:59.At and around the crime scene tonight there will be a very heavy

:05:59. > :06:02.police presence. Just in the last few minutes

:06:02. > :06:05.Haroon's father has been giving a news conference. He says that he

:06:05. > :06:11.doesn't believe that this is a racial issue, he has called for all

:06:11. > :06:14.this violence to come to an end and the Prime Minister also termed it

:06:14. > :06:20.as a truly dreadful incident so the feeling I am getting here tonight

:06:20. > :06:24.is everyone wants this awful period to be over.

:06:24. > :06:28.Today, David Cameron said plans were in place to provide police

:06:28. > :06:31.with water cannon if they decide they need them and officers have

:06:31. > :06:33.been authorised to use plastic bullets. The Prime Minister, who

:06:34. > :06:40.has been visiting the West Midlands this afternoon, said pockets of

:06:40. > :06:43.society were not just broken but sick. Our political editor Nick

:06:43. > :06:52.Robinson travelled with him and sent this report on Mr Cameron's

:06:52. > :06:55.response. Take now, don't pay later. This was

:06:55. > :06:59.Wolverhampton last night. They lined up to clean out this family

:07:00. > :07:05.electrical store having first robbed and assaulted its owner.

:07:05. > :07:12.Obviously I was frightened for my life. All these people poured in,

:07:12. > :07:18.one of them grabbed me by the neck and I was frightened. David Cameron

:07:18. > :07:22.promised him and other retailers in this city a tougher police response.

:07:22. > :07:26.Earlier the Prime Minister had presented himself as the leader of

:07:26. > :07:31.a new moral army who would stand up up against what he called the worst

:07:32. > :07:35.of Britain. We needed a fightback and a fightback is under way. We

:07:35. > :07:40.have seen the worst of Britain, but I also believe we have seen some of

:07:40. > :07:44.the best of Britain. The million people who signed up on Facebook to

:07:44. > :07:48.support the police, communities coming together in the cleanup

:07:48. > :07:54.operations. But there is absolutely no room for complacency and there

:07:54. > :07:57.is much more to be done. promised more robust policing,

:07:57. > :08:01.using water cannon and rubber bullets, if they prove necessary.

:08:01. > :08:07.There are pockets of our society that are not just broken but,

:08:07. > :08:10.frankly, sick. When we see children as young as 12 and 13 looting and

:08:10. > :08:14.laughing, when we see the disgusting sight of an injured

:08:14. > :08:20.young man with people pretending to help him while they are robbing him,

:08:20. > :08:26.it is clear there are things that are badly wrong in our society.

:08:26. > :08:30.did not risk walking through a city on edge, where groups of youths

:08:30. > :08:35.gather menacingly and where the police move in at the first sign of

:08:35. > :08:41.trouble. Wolverhampton tonight is a city that is still living in fear.

:08:41. > :08:48.Arrests on the street, and shops that have closed early in order to

:08:48. > :08:51.avoid another night which people fear might bring more trouble. The

:08:52. > :08:56.Labour leader Ed Miliband did take to the streets of Manchester, for

:08:56. > :09:01.now at least, political leaders are speaking with one voice about

:09:01. > :09:06.what's gone wrong. We must not have a situation where there are people

:09:06. > :09:11.who think it is OK to go out and commit the kinds of acts we have

:09:11. > :09:17.seen. I do not want my kids to grow up in a country where people think

:09:17. > :09:23.that's an OK thing to do. All of us have a responsibility to make sure

:09:23. > :09:26.we don't see these kind of events repeated.

:09:26. > :09:31.Back in Wolverhampton they're preparing for the worst tonight.

:09:31. > :09:37.Businesses have closed early, or boarded themselves up. Police have

:09:37. > :09:44.been bussed in, people are staying home. Except those who roam the

:09:44. > :09:48.streets. More than 100 people have been

:09:48. > :09:53.arrested so far in Manchester and Salford where 1,000 youths were

:09:53. > :09:56.involved in last night's violence. Shops were looted and cars burned.

:09:56. > :10:02.Our correspondent Chris Buckler has been gauging the mood there today

:10:02. > :10:05.and joins us now. Good evening. If you look behind me

:10:05. > :10:08.you can see police officers are again on duty here in Manchester

:10:08. > :10:11.City centre along with private security guards. They've been

:10:11. > :10:15.employed by shops to try and protect them after what happened

:10:15. > :10:19.last night. If you look you can see the scene of where windows were

:10:19. > :10:21.smashed and tonight they are trying to protect themselves from looters.

:10:21. > :10:24.It was a difficult job for Greater Manchester Police last night

:10:24. > :10:27.because they weren't just dealing with problems here in Manchester,

:10:27. > :10:33.but also a few miles away in Salford and I have been to the

:10:33. > :10:37.scene of those riots to find out why it happened.

:10:37. > :10:42.In the aftermath of the violence that scarred Salford's shops and

:10:43. > :10:48.streets, this is a community asking one question: How do you you stop

:10:48. > :10:53.all of this from happening again? Many who ransacked and ruined these

:10:53. > :10:56.stores were young teenagers but while no parents said they condoned

:10:56. > :11:02.the riots some fell short of condemning them. A lot of them

:11:02. > :11:07.think and I believe this to be true, a lot of them act like scum, is it

:11:07. > :11:12.any wonder. Why have they got, nothing. Doesn't give them a right

:11:12. > :11:16.to smash the place up, does it? Have I said I condoned it? You

:11:16. > :11:20.think it's fair someone's been shot in London for nothing? What's that

:11:20. > :11:28.got to do with wrecking our shops? Do you agree with that? Have you

:11:28. > :11:33.kids? I am sorry... But that's nothing to do... The images of

:11:33. > :11:37.children at the heart of trouble and looting has shocked many. And

:11:37. > :11:47.it's members of every generation left frightened. All night I

:11:47. > :11:50.couldn't sleep. This disorder has been taking place near to many

:11:50. > :11:53.doorsteps. The shopping area that has been at the centre of the

:11:53. > :11:57.trouble here in Salford is very close to houses, you can probably

:11:57. > :12:00.see there are people standing at the front of their homes here,

:12:00. > :12:05.they're nervous at the moment because they are worried there

:12:05. > :12:09.could be further trul. -- trouble. When you look at the pictures you

:12:09. > :12:12.must know some people involved in this? They live around here, yeah

:12:13. > :12:17.and they're wrecking their own place really. The police have been

:12:17. > :12:19.criticised for being heavy-handed in some cases, they say say they

:12:19. > :12:24.faced unprecedented levels of violence and they've asked parents

:12:24. > :12:29.to stop their children from going out into trouble. They're blaming

:12:29. > :12:37.parents. I saw 10,000 people here last night all grownup, no kids.

:12:37. > :12:42.There was a few. Let's have a riot. And you will find people on these

:12:42. > :12:47.streets encouraging a return to chaos. Got to do it. Why have you

:12:47. > :12:52.got to do it? Because all the BLEEP everyone in our country, letting

:12:52. > :12:55.everyone do our jobs and we can't get jobs, so... You are not going

:12:56. > :12:59.to get jobs if they're burning down shops here, smashing windows.

:12:59. > :13:03.That's not going to make people invest in Salford. It's up to them.

:13:03. > :13:08.Here the work of rebuilding is needed not just for property, but

:13:09. > :13:12.also the community. Here in Manchester and also in

:13:12. > :13:16.Salford tonight it is calm. However, there is concern which is why shops

:13:16. > :13:20.like this have boarded up windows to prepare for any future looting

:13:20. > :13:23.that might take place. You can probably see the numbers of police

:13:23. > :13:26.officers here have grown and they will be here in force in the city

:13:26. > :13:30.centre tonight. The other big question that people have been

:13:30. > :13:34.asking is why? Some talk about shooting in London many miles away,

:13:34. > :13:37.some talk about jobs, others talk about cuts. But I have to say I

:13:37. > :13:40.haven't been in -- having been in Manchester and seen the amount of

:13:40. > :13:44.looting it must be said that there is an element of greed and

:13:44. > :13:49.criminality that's been involved as well.

:13:49. > :13:51.In London, more than 800 people have been arrested since the riots

:13:51. > :13:55.started on Saturday. Several courts are expected to sit through the

:13:55. > :13:59.night again to deal with the volume of cases. This morning one of the

:13:59. > :14:03.first to appear before magistrates was a teaching assistant at a

:14:03. > :14:06.primary school in south London. Our special correspondent Allan Little

:14:06. > :14:14.reports on the suspects in court and how the justice system is

:14:14. > :14:18.coping. BLEEP away... Anthony Alexis Bayley,

:14:18. > :14:24.from south London charged with burglary with intent to steal,

:14:24. > :14:29.pleaded guilty, remanded on bail to be sentenced later. BLEEP off.

:14:29. > :14:33.Normally he is a primary school teaching assistant. The website of

:14:33. > :14:38.the school says he is a mentor to the young. The court sat through

:14:38. > :14:44.the night, the suspects before them include an Army recruit, students,

:14:44. > :14:49.a graphic designer and an 11-year- old boy. Jason White and Richard

:14:49. > :14:53.Miles Palmer pleaded guilty to theft. They were found with �1500

:14:53. > :14:58.worth of power tools in a shopping trolley and will be sentenced later.

:14:58. > :15:03.We don't want to be filmed. Camberwell 18-year-old James ap

:15:03. > :15:07.Anthony is charged with disorder and assaulting a policewoman. He is

:15:07. > :15:14.in custody. His father is dismayed. Do you think James is not guilty?

:15:14. > :15:17.He is not guilty at all, he is not violent.

:15:17. > :15:21.Today police released a second batch of pictures of others they

:15:21. > :15:27.want to question. They posted the images online and there are more to

:15:27. > :15:31.come. In many parts of London communities

:15:31. > :15:35.defended themselves. In north London there are Turkey and Kurdish

:15:35. > :15:45.owned businesses. Here, looters came face-to-face with organised

:15:45. > :15:45.

:15:45. > :15:50.It is now clear that in places like this, it does not take long for the

:15:50. > :15:54.community, the business owners and shopkeepers to organise themselves

:15:54. > :15:59.into a defensive force of their own. In effect, to take the law into

:15:59. > :16:03.their own hands, to defend their properties and businesses. On

:16:03. > :16:09.Monday, customers found themselves trapped in this confectionery shop

:16:09. > :16:13.as looters ran amok outside. Then, hundreds of local men went on to

:16:13. > :16:17.the street to chase the rioters away. A lot of people had baseball

:16:17. > :16:21.bats. They were prepared to do a lot, I guess. They did chase them

:16:21. > :16:27.and then they passed them on to the police so they did not harm them or

:16:27. > :16:31.anything like that. How far did they chase them? They chased them

:16:31. > :16:36.down to Dalston Junction so quite a long way. This restaurant owner

:16:36. > :16:40.asked not to be named. He also took part in defending the neighbourhood.

:16:41. > :16:46.That is the culture as well. In Turkey, when there is some danger

:16:46. > :16:51.to your village, to your street, to your town, that is the culture, the

:16:51. > :16:58.people come together in one second. This is a culture and you can tell

:16:58. > :17:01.a lot about it and it is the same thing here. Ethnic groups banding

:17:02. > :17:11.together in self-defence against external threats. This, too, is

:17:11. > :17:18.part of the story of London's riots. A top story tonight: Calls for calm

:17:18. > :17:24.after three men are killed during rioting in Birmingham. Coming up:

:17:24. > :17:29.England on top as India's batsmen crumble at Edgbaston.

:17:29. > :17:32.In business on the News Channel, a fresh slide for European markets as

:17:32. > :17:42.worries about the sovereign debt crisis continue. The Bank of

:17:42. > :17:46.

:17:46. > :17:50.England cuts its growth forecast There has been another gloomy

:17:50. > :17:54.prediction about the future of Britain's economy. The Bank of

:17:54. > :17:58.England has lowered its forecast for growth. The bank's governor,

:17:59. > :18:04.Sir Mervyn King, said inflation could rise to 5% by the end of the

:18:04. > :18:08.year and he said the biggest threat to growth came from outside the UK.

:18:08. > :18:13.The Bank of England is that the heart of the British economy but

:18:13. > :18:18.its message today is it cannot do a lot to prevent a slow down when the

:18:18. > :18:21.UK's financial future is linked so closely to the United States and

:18:21. > :18:26.the eurozone. And things could go wrong there. The big risks facing

:18:26. > :18:30.the UK economy come from the rest of the world. We must work with our

:18:30. > :18:36.colleagues abroad to tackle the challenge of how to reduce the

:18:36. > :18:41.overhang of private and public debt. But there is a limit to what UK

:18:41. > :18:46.monetary policy can do. What he means is that British companies

:18:46. > :18:51.like this one will suffer if foreign markets go into reverse. It

:18:51. > :18:56.sells upmarket stationery and luxury items by mail order. Half go

:18:56. > :19:00.to overseas customers. We have seen a slight dip in sales to Europe and

:19:00. > :19:04.the US, but whether that is to do with the summer holidays or whether

:19:05. > :19:09.it is to do with economic crisis affecting people's wallets, I think

:19:09. > :19:13.we will only know early next month. What does the Bank think will

:19:13. > :19:18.happen here in the UK? It has downgraded its outlook for growth

:19:18. > :19:23.for both this year and next. It thinks inflation will get 25 % and

:19:23. > :19:27.then fall quite rapidly, probably below its 2% target in two years'

:19:27. > :19:30.time. None of that suggests the bank is in any hurry to raise

:19:30. > :19:35.interest rates. Analysts think the bank may not

:19:35. > :19:40.raise rates to 2013 because of worries of low growth. What does it

:19:40. > :19:43.all mean for consumers and workers? What do you think British

:19:43. > :19:48.households should be expecting over the next year or so in terms of

:19:48. > :19:54.jobs and growth? There is obviously a great deal of uncertainty and

:19:54. > :19:57.nobody should expect to know what the future holds. But we do expect

:19:57. > :20:02.growth to gradually recover. It will be slow but we expect a

:20:02. > :20:08.gradual recovery. The conditions for that are in place. Wall Street

:20:08. > :20:13.opened sharply lower. Shares in Europe took their cue with markets

:20:13. > :20:16.closing down 3%. That underlines the governor's point that the UK

:20:16. > :20:20.can be at the mercy of events a long way from here.

:20:20. > :20:25.There is a new warning today on the drought in East Africa. The latest

:20:25. > :20:30.assessment by a group of experts is that it will last for several more

:20:30. > :20:33.months. Around 116,000 people have already fled Somalia into

:20:33. > :20:38.neighbouring Kenya since the beginning of the year, putting a

:20:38. > :20:43.massive strain on the refugee camp at Dadaab. It is already home to

:20:44. > :20:49.300,000 Somalis who fled drought and civil war in the 1980s. George

:20:49. > :20:53.Alagiah explains how a 20 year of aid to the refugees has raised some

:20:53. > :20:57.uncomfortable questions. For a few hours every day, the

:20:57. > :21:02.children of section N 6 can pretend they are like children everywhere.

:21:02. > :21:07.The play Rhian cocoons them from a harsh world. The make-believe

:21:07. > :21:11.houses they built are a million miles from their reality. And the

:21:11. > :21:17.country it well-meaning aid workers encourage them to imagine is

:21:17. > :21:23.largely a fiction. In fact, these brothers were born here and have

:21:23. > :21:29.never been to Somalia. Their parents left the country 20 years

:21:30. > :21:39.ago. Would you like to go to Somalia? The answer is no. Their

:21:39. > :21:43.parents say it is a bad place. This massive aid operation sustains

:21:43. > :21:49.300,000 people who fled the Somali conflict of the 1990s and they have

:21:49. > :21:52.never gone back. They need help but they are not starving. Three out of

:21:52. > :21:57.every four people you see in the camp have nothing to do with the

:21:57. > :22:01.current crisis. In some cases, they have been collecting their rations

:22:01. > :22:08.like this for a decade or more. It is a graphic reminder that there is

:22:08. > :22:14.a much deeper problem at work than this year's drought alone. It begs

:22:14. > :22:21.a question. Is all this aid solving a problem or simply prolong it?

:22:21. > :22:27.This woman, who has been here since 1992, has an answer, although it is

:22:27. > :22:31.not one for the faint-hearted. TRANSLATION: Let the aid be stopped.

:22:31. > :22:36.Then we will have to go back home. Some will die but others will find

:22:37. > :22:43.a solution. Over the years, parts of Dadaab refugee camp have begun

:22:43. > :22:46.to look more and more like a town. Their markets, mechanics, even a

:22:46. > :22:53.deuce make a. It has its own economy, driven in part by the aid

:22:53. > :23:00.that flows in. Refugees sell part of their Russian and sell what they

:23:00. > :23:05.get at other shops -- their ration. TRANSLATION: Of course, it would be

:23:05. > :23:12.better to run our business in our own country but there is war going

:23:12. > :23:16.on in Somalia. And the failure to solve Somalia's deep-seated crisis

:23:16. > :23:23.drives a new generation across the border. Another mother building

:23:23. > :23:27.another shelter in this no-man's- land of helplessness.

:23:27. > :23:32.A court in London has approved the extradition to South Africa of a

:23:32. > :23:37.British man plotting to kill his wife -- accused of plotting to kill

:23:37. > :23:42.his wife on their honeymoon. A court says they have evidence that

:23:42. > :23:51.Shrien Dewani paid a Cape Town taxi driver to arrange the murder of his

:23:51. > :23:54.wife, Anni. He denies this. Police investigating phone hacking

:23:55. > :23:59.at the News Of The World have arrested a 61 year-old-man. It is

:23:59. > :24:03.understood he is Greg Miskiw, former editor at the paper. He is

:24:03. > :24:07.the 12th person to be arrested since January.

:24:07. > :24:13.England's bowlers have been on top on day one of the third Test at

:24:13. > :24:17.Edgbaston against India. England lead the series 2-0 and know that

:24:17. > :24:25.one more victory would see them takeover as the number one side in

:24:25. > :24:31.the world. A short while ago, England's batsmen were 78 no wicket.

:24:31. > :24:36.If the beat Goes On, the cricket must follow. France did their best

:24:36. > :24:43.to maintain their enthusiasm and the sense of the bizarre means it

:24:44. > :24:48.is business as usual. The play was blissfully familiar for England.

:24:49. > :24:55.Virender Sehwag was dismissed first ball. Many of the dismissals were

:24:55. > :25:02.blatantly obvious. Sachin Tendulkar came and went before lunch. Great

:25:02. > :25:06.names struggling to live up to their reputations. Now, perhaps,

:25:07. > :25:11.sensing there was little to lose, MS Dhoni remembered his aggression.

:25:11. > :25:19.Suddenly, he was the captain who had won India the World Cup. He

:25:19. > :25:25.threw his bat once too often, gone for 77 and India were all out for

:25:25. > :25:32.up to 124. Cook and Strauss put on a 50 partnership. Another day when

:25:32. > :25:37.England looked like the world's best team. �32 million built the

:25:37. > :25:41.new grandstand here and so far, the emphasis has been on sport and not

:25:41. > :25:45.security. More now on our main story and the

:25:45. > :25:49.fresh violence in several cities in England overnight and the

:25:50. > :25:54.government's response. Nick Robinson has been following the

:25:54. > :25:59.Prime Minister's visit to the West Midlands today. We can join him

:25:59. > :26:04.live in Wolverhampton. What did you make about his comments about

:26:04. > :26:11.pockets of society in being not just broken but six. It is a

:26:11. > :26:15.dangerous word he has chosen. Dangerous, why? Some decades ago

:26:15. > :26:21.Britain was referred to as the sick man of Europe. He is saying the

:26:21. > :26:26.country is not sick but parts of it are. It is a move away from the

:26:26. > :26:31.language he used about a broken society because that angered some

:26:31. > :26:35.who said society as a whole was not broken but specific parts were. The

:26:35. > :26:38.language is easy to use but the question is what it will mean in

:26:38. > :26:43.practice. Prime Minister will come under mounting pressure from Boris

:26:43. > :26:48.Johnson, the mayor of London, to go slow on the cuts, whether on the

:26:48. > :26:53.police, prison places all the youth service. He is arguing there is a

:26:53. > :26:56.moral dimension to dealing with this about greater responsibility,

:26:56. > :27:01.better parenting and the state doing more to support families. It

:27:01. > :27:04.sounds good but the question he was asked here in Wolverhampton by a

:27:04. > :27:14.man who has lost his family business is, what will it mean for

:27:14. > :27:23.

:27:23. > :27:27.There is some heavy persistent rain in North Wales and Scotland. There

:27:27. > :27:32.is a Met Office ample warning in force. The reason for that is

:27:32. > :27:38.increasing risk of surface water -- amber warning. River flooding could

:27:38. > :27:44.be a problem as well. The rain band stays in place to that. Still wet

:27:44. > :27:54.across northern England and Wales. Further dried -- dryer at further

:27:54. > :27:57.

:27:57. > :28:07.Thursday morning, brighter in Scotland but still a cold wind and

:28:07. > :28:11.the rain in place. The greatest risk of flooding will be in Perth,

:28:11. > :28:16.Kinloss and sterling. The rain in Northern Ireland will be light and

:28:16. > :28:22.patchy. Heavy bursts of rain across northern England, Wales and the

:28:22. > :28:27.south-west. In the south-east it will be largely dry. For the

:28:27. > :28:36.afternoon, we seek skies brightened a little bit. One or two brighter

:28:36. > :28:41.spells. The rain will ease off as we go through Thursday night. Light

:28:41. > :28:47.and patchy rain here and there on Friday. The rain turns heavy again

:28:47. > :28:53.in Northern Ireland later in the day. Will have a day of sunshine
