:02:12. > :02:15.Welcome to the BBC News at 6.00pm. The revolution in Libya has brought
:02:15. > :02:21.new hope of justice for WPC Yvonne Fletcher and her family. She was
:02:21. > :02:24.gunned down 27 years ago by someone inside the Libyan embassy in London.
:02:24. > :02:27.Today David Cameron and Nick Clegg both said they expect Libya's
:02:27. > :02:30.interim administration to find the suspect - a key figure in the
:02:30. > :02:32.Gaddafi regime who's still thought to be in the country. As Tom
:02:32. > :02:42.Symonds reports, dealing with WPC Fletcher's case will be a key
:02:42. > :02:52.
:02:52. > :02:56.element in Britain's relations with the new Libya. Especially by the
:02:56. > :03:01.Metropolitan Police. She had been detailed to police a protest
:03:01. > :03:07.outside the Libyan embassy. When the shooting started from an
:03:07. > :03:13.upstairs window. The question, who killed WPC Yvonne Fletcher remains
:03:13. > :03:16.unanswered. But now Libyan rebels are getting closer to a key Gaddafi
:03:16. > :03:21.official alleged to have been involved. The case is at the heart
:03:21. > :03:24.of Britain's relations with new Libya. Obviously, I want justice
:03:24. > :03:27.for eave's family. There is an ongoing police investigation, and I
:03:27. > :03:33.am sure the new authorities in Libya will cooperate fully with
:03:33. > :03:37.that investigation. Former policeman John Murray was
:03:37. > :03:42.also outside the embassy that day. He held Yvonne Fletcher in his
:03:42. > :03:47.harms, and he made her a promise. said, "Don't worry. We will get the
:03:47. > :03:52.people who did this. We will find them." I made that promise to her.
:03:52. > :03:57.I made it when she died. I made it when I carried her coffin. That's a
:03:57. > :04:01.promise I will fulfil any day now. You feel that day is coming closer?
:04:01. > :04:06.That day is coming very, very soon. I am so proud. Abdulmagid Salah
:04:06. > :04:14.Ameri has been named as the man who actually pulled the trigger. He's
:04:14. > :04:17.thought to have died. Yesterday came news of another suspect, Abdul
:04:17. > :04:24.Bagdadi, alleged to have been involved. We just found the body.
:04:24. > :04:30.She was shot in the head. Probably it's an inside vendetta within the
:04:30. > :04:36.regime groups themselves. The Met restated its commitment to the case
:04:37. > :04:41.today. Even Gaddafi offered some cooperation, but in 1984 diplomatic
:04:41. > :04:45.immunity resulted in the embassy's officials walking free. Now Libya
:04:45. > :04:48.has a new Government. 27 years on it now may become easier to speak
:04:48. > :04:52.to those people who were inside this building on that day.
:04:52. > :04:57.Certainly, prosecutors say that gathering the evidence relies on
:04:57. > :05:00.people talking, be they diplomats who witnessed what happened or
:05:00. > :05:05.those responsible admitting for the first time their role in this
:05:05. > :05:08.notorious crime. For the first time in more than
:05:08. > :05:10.four decades, the people of Libya have been celebrating the end of
:05:10. > :05:13.Ramadan without Colonel Gaddafi in charge.
:05:13. > :05:16.The feast day marks a respite from the fighting - the battle for Sirte,
:05:16. > :05:18.Gadafi's birthplace, is set to resume soon. As Jeremy Bowen
:05:18. > :05:28.reports, whilst Tripoli remains quiet, Libyans living in the
:05:28. > :05:33.
:05:33. > :05:39.capital have now been left to fend The war has swept through Tripoli
:05:39. > :05:42.and back out into the desert, taking the Colonel with it.
:05:42. > :05:46.SOUND OF GUNFIRE In this fragile capital, gunfire is
:05:46. > :05:56.for celebration now, not killing, and prayers for Eid Al Fitr, the
:05:56. > :05:59.
:05:59. > :06:03.Just after dawn, the former Green Square, now renamed after Libya's
:06:03. > :06:11.martyrs, was full of people and memories of almost 42 years of
:06:11. > :06:17.dictatorship. "They killed our children," said the Imam, "and
:06:17. > :06:21.raped our women. He's a murderer, and God will punish him." Suburban
:06:21. > :06:27.roads still have barricades put up by their residents to keep the
:06:27. > :06:35.violent fall of the Gaddafi regime away from them. The wall had
:06:35. > :06:38.already touched this street. NATO killed a family here. But now the
:06:38. > :06:43.children, in their best clothes for Eid Al Fitr, can play outside, and
:06:43. > :06:48.this man can say that the fighters gave their lives, "And we think
:06:48. > :06:52.it's going to be fine for our family now." Tripoli is feeling
:06:52. > :06:56.very local at the moment. People are looking after themselves.
:06:56. > :06:58.They're looking after their families, and they're looking after
:06:58. > :07:00.their neighbourhoods. There is a vacuum at the top. The National
:07:00. > :07:04.Transitional Council has been recognised by some of the biggest
:07:04. > :07:08.powers in the world, but around here, it's local people who are
:07:08. > :07:15.taking the decisions. And decision making on this street
:07:15. > :07:21.starts with these men - locals who picked up guns to fight the regime
:07:21. > :07:25.stopping to check us out. Anyone suspicious gets taken to this
:07:25. > :07:29.school requisitioned by the fighters. These three were
:07:29. > :07:32.suspected mercenaries. The prisoners, one Ghanaian, two from
:07:32. > :07:35.Niger, said they were innocent migrant workers picked up because
:07:35. > :07:40.they were black. Everything is going to be fine. They were
:07:40. > :07:44.terrified, and not much reassured when their captors, all fighters
:07:44. > :07:48.from Tripoli, said there would be justice in the new Libya.
:07:48. > :07:51.The hard part is starting now because now we're going to build
:07:51. > :07:58.our country. We're going to create, to have creative people. We're
:07:58. > :08:02.going to produce. We're going to do everything. Men with guns still set
:08:02. > :08:05.the pace here, not civilian politicians who have been slow off
:08:05. > :08:10.the mark. Long term, that doesn't equal stability.
:08:10. > :08:15.And we can talk to Jeremy now. In your report you talked about a
:08:15. > :08:20.vacuum at the top, a lack of leadership. That could become quite
:08:20. > :08:24.dangerous, could it not? Yes. I think it matters because Colonel
:08:24. > :08:27.Gaddafi used divide-and-rule tactics between different parts of
:08:27. > :08:31.this country, which is quite a fragile - and it's a very big
:08:31. > :08:35.country as well with a tradition of local differences. If regional
:08:35. > :08:39.bosses fall out about the future, perhaps trying to gain credit for
:08:39. > :08:42.what they did to overthrow Colonel Gaddafi, they all have effectively
:08:42. > :08:47.a militia each now. That's dangerous. Colonel Gaddafi himself
:08:47. > :08:52.has been making broadcasts to the people in his hometown of Sirte,
:08:52. > :08:58.telling them to fight on. Jeremy, I want to turn to WPC Yvonne Fletcher
:08:58. > :09:01.now. How realistic is it to assume that Libya's new leaders will deal
:09:01. > :09:05.this kind of legacy from the Gaddafi regime? I think not
:09:05. > :09:10.immediately. The reason for that is there isn't a new government yet.
:09:10. > :09:14.Here in Tripoli, there is - there are men on the streets with guns.
:09:14. > :09:17.The National Transitional Council is over in Benghazi, at least those
:09:17. > :09:21.parts of it that are known and named. So I think that, yes,
:09:21. > :09:27.ultimately if they set up a representational and democratic
:09:27. > :09:31.government here - and it's going to be difficult - then they will be
:09:31. > :09:35.redressed, but don't expect it overnight. OK, thank you very much.
:09:35. > :09:39.Plans to shake up the way banks operate in the wake of the
:09:39. > :09:41.financial crisis may not come into force until after the next election.
:09:41. > :09:44.The Independent Commission on Banking is due to deliver its final
:09:44. > :09:47.report in two weeks' time, and is expected to recommend that the
:09:47. > :09:50.banks' riskier operations should be separated from the their everyday
:09:51. > :09:57.customer business. With all the details, here's our chief economics
:09:57. > :10:01.Correspondent Hugh Pym. Ever since those Northern Rock
:10:01. > :10:04.queues, the future of banking has been on the line - major collapses
:10:04. > :10:09.and taxpayer bail-outs followed, and that made the recession worse.
:10:09. > :10:15.People said it must never happen again, but four years on, the shape
:10:16. > :10:19.of reform still isn't clear. Today, the Business Secretary Vince Cable
:10:19. > :10:22.visiting Edinburgh University attacked the banks for trying to
:10:22. > :10:26.block a shape-up of the industry and said the Government was
:10:26. > :10:30.committed to change. Given all the financial vol tilt and instability
:10:30. > :10:35.in the world at the moment, it's all the more important that we have
:10:35. > :10:39.reform of the banking system. How we do that - we have got to await
:10:39. > :10:43.the final report of the Banking Commission. That final Banking
:10:43. > :10:46.Commission report is due very soon. The Chancellor said in a speech in
:10:46. > :10:50.June he wanted to go ahead with its key recommendations, though it's
:10:50. > :10:53.emerged today they may not actually take effect until after the next
:10:53. > :10:57.election. So what are the main banking reforms which have been
:10:58. > :11:02.proposed by the Commission? Final details will be out the week after
:11:02. > :11:06.next. Banks will have to build a firewall between their High Street
:11:06. > :11:10.operations and other riskier trading in their investment banks,
:11:10. > :11:14.so if the investment bank collapsed, the High Street operations would be
:11:14. > :11:18.safe. Banks would have to have more capital. That's money set aside for
:11:18. > :11:22.emergencies, and there would have to be more competition in High
:11:22. > :11:25.Street banking, but many of the big banks strongly oppose the reforms.
:11:25. > :11:28.They say it would be harder for them to raise money to lend to
:11:28. > :11:32.businesses and consumers, and they point to the market turbulence this
:11:32. > :11:36.month. The FTSE share index has plunged because of concerns about
:11:36. > :11:39.the US economy and European leaders' handling of the debt
:11:39. > :11:44.crisis, with some traders now worried about the health of the
:11:44. > :11:48.banking sector. The economy is now sluggish, so do we want to make it
:11:48. > :11:53.harder for bank at this moment to get money into the hands of small
:11:53. > :11:56.businesses? Because mark this - the reality of a big, structural change
:11:56. > :11:59.to the way Britain's banks are organised is they'll be less able
:11:59. > :12:03.to lend to small businesses in Britain. So it could be several
:12:03. > :12:06.more years on from the start of the crisis before change is aimed at
:12:06. > :12:10.preventing more scenes like this take effect. There will be plenty
:12:10. > :12:20.of wrangling over the detail before then.
:12:20. > :12:22.
:12:22. > :12:25.We can talk to our deputy political editor who is in Westminster for us.
:12:25. > :12:28.Given the levels of public interest in banking reforms - can the
:12:28. > :12:30.government really get away leave this til after the next election?
:12:30. > :12:34.The Government has a dilemma. On the one hand they want to move
:12:34. > :12:36.quickly. They want to avoid the risk of this happening again, but
:12:36. > :12:41.equally they know this is going to take time. It's complicated, time
:12:41. > :12:48.to draw up the legislation, get it through Parliament channelment and
:12:48. > :12:53.hammer out the details. Some are saying, look, this may not be
:12:53. > :13:02.implemented until after the next general election. That'll infur
:13:02. > :13:05.aiate Liberal Democrats. This has upset some Conservatives who accuse
:13:05. > :13:08.Mr Cable of some politicking ahead of the Liberal Democrat conference.
:13:08. > :13:12.The bottom line is this - there is a risk for the Government that they
:13:12. > :13:16.raise expectations that aren't met and they be accused of giving way
:13:16. > :13:19.to the banks and kicking all of this into the long grass. Thank you
:13:19. > :13:22.very much. That was James Landale there.
:13:22. > :13:25.A group of travellers have lost a High Court appeal to prevent their
:13:25. > :13:28.eviction from a site near Basildon in Essex. 80 families have been
:13:28. > :13:31.told to leave Dale Farm because they don't have planning permission
:13:31. > :13:33.for their caravans and chalets. Basildon Council has said it will
:13:33. > :13:43.use bailiffs, if necessary, to clear the site. Mark Worthington
:13:43. > :13:43.
:13:43. > :13:49.reports. At the entrance to Dale Farm, the defences are ready. The
:13:49. > :13:54.lines of resistance now firmly drawn after the failure of a final
:13:54. > :13:59.legal challenge - the deadline to leave is just hours away. Beyond
:13:59. > :14:04.the gate, a watchful community waits for the bailiffs. Some have
:14:04. > :14:09.lived here for ten years. Most are resolved to stay until forcibly
:14:09. > :14:15.removed. The worry for me is - is when the bailiffs comes in - the
:14:15. > :14:18.trauma of it and the fear of it, and with everybody under so much
:14:18. > :14:23.pressure, and when you're in pressure, you do things which you'd
:14:23. > :14:26.never do in a lifetime. The other side of that metal fence is the
:14:27. > :14:33.biggest illegal gypsy site in Europe called Dale Farm. For the
:14:33. > :14:38.neighbours, though, the view is very different. Bigot? No. I have
:14:38. > :14:42.stood up for this for the last ten years, I have had to put up with it.
:14:42. > :14:45.If anyone came here and had to put up with where I live for ten
:14:45. > :14:48.yearsior, think they'd last a week. How I have lasted ten years, I
:14:48. > :14:53.don't know. The issue is this - Dale Farm close
:14:53. > :14:57.to the village of Cray's Hill is essentially two sites. A number of
:14:57. > :15:01.travellers bought this section in the mid '90s and set up 34 pitches,
:15:01. > :15:06.all of which are legal. Those facing eviction bought the
:15:06. > :15:11.adjoining green belt site in 2001. They established 51 pitches with no
:15:11. > :15:15.planning permission. But it isn't as simple as it might
:15:15. > :15:20.seem. Changes to the law in the '90s meant councils no longer had a
:15:20. > :15:24.duty to provide travellers with suitable sites. Instead, they were
:15:24. > :15:27.encouraged to buy land themselves and to seek planning permission.
:15:27. > :15:32.That's exactly what the residents here say they have been trying to
:15:32. > :15:37.do - without success. If there is trouble, the cost of clearing Dale
:15:37. > :15:41.Farm could reach �18 million. But Basildon Council says its sheer
:15:42. > :15:46.scale means it has to be done. That's just much too large for a
:15:46. > :15:49.small village like this to deal with. The impact on that village
:15:49. > :15:53.has been enormous. Now a High Court judge has ruled the council's plan
:15:53. > :16:03.is entirely lawful. More supporters are expected to arrive to help

:16:44. > :16:49.Bassett, has pause to remember the servicemen and women killed in
:16:49. > :16:53.Afghanistan. Now, military repatriations will be shifted to
:16:53. > :16:57.RAF Brize Norton instead. A special service is being held to mark the
:16:57. > :17:03.end of what has become a Wootton Bassett tradition. It comes out the
:17:03. > :17:07.latest soldier in Afghanistan has been named. He was Sergeant Barry
:17:07. > :17:10.Weston from 42 Commando Royal Marines, killed on foot patrol in
:17:10. > :17:18.Helmand province yesterday. Let's go live to Wootton Bassett and John
:17:18. > :17:24.Kay. When Sergeant Barry Weston's body is flown home next week, it
:17:24. > :17:28.will not come into RAF Lyneham, just up the road. It will come into
:17:28. > :17:32.RAF Brize Norton. That means it will not come through the high
:17:32. > :17:37.street in Wootton Bassett. That town's role in repatriations is
:17:37. > :17:42.coming to an end. Tonight at sunset there will be a special ceremony
:17:42. > :17:52.here. This time, not involving a cortege or coffins, but focused
:17:52. > :17:58.
:17:58. > :18:05.The flag has flown every time. In all weathers. All seasons. All
:18:05. > :18:09.times of day and night. Nearly 400 military coffins have passed
:18:09. > :18:15.through Wootton Bassett. But with repatriation flights now returning
:18:15. > :18:20.to RAF Brize Norton, this town's duty is done. It is the end of an
:18:20. > :18:27.era for Wootton Bassett. It is going to be a very emotional time.
:18:27. > :18:31.It's very sad. At the end of the day, things move on. It is time for
:18:31. > :18:36.RAF Brize Norton to take over. Tonight, in one final act of
:18:36. > :18:41.respect, the town's flag will be lowered and blessed on the altar of
:18:41. > :18:47.the parish church. Local people, keen to mark the end of their role
:18:47. > :18:52.in a quiet and dignified manner. have done a good job and people are
:18:52. > :18:57.thankful to us. I don't think that is foolish pride. I don't think
:18:57. > :19:04.it's a lack of humility. I think it's appropriate to to say well
:19:04. > :19:09.done. 30 miles away, this is the new Wootton Bassett. A purpose-
:19:09. > :19:14.built garden, on a ring road next to RAF Brize Norton, where bereaved

:20:29. > :20:32.panel will deliver initial findings in November.
:20:32. > :20:35.And 11-year-old boy from Romford has become the youngest person in
:20:35. > :20:40.London to be sentenced over his part in the riots. The boy, who
:20:40. > :20:44.cannot be named for legal reasons, was given an 18 month
:20:44. > :20:52.rehabilitation ward after stealing a bin from Debenhams. Luisa Baldini
:20:52. > :20:57.is outside the shop now. Talk us through the details of this case.
:20:57. > :21:01.It was at the peak of the disorder on Monday 8th August that this boy
:21:01. > :21:06.was arrested at 10:30pm. The court heard today that his mother had
:21:06. > :21:09.thought that he was at his father's house. The court also heard how
:21:09. > :21:15.just five days before he was arrested the boy had been before a
:21:15. > :21:19.judge, charged with arson, criminal damage and for possessing a blade.
:21:19. > :21:25.That related to an incident on a bus, where he had cut up some seats,
:21:25. > :21:31.set fire to it and then tried to smash the glass doors to make his
:21:31. > :21:34.escape. The judge sentenced him for both offences committed its
:21:34. > :21:37.rehabilitation order. He says, I cannot send you to prison because
:21:37. > :21:41.you are only 11. You think you can behave how you want and everybody
:21:41. > :21:46.else has to put up with it. You need to understand you cannot get
:21:46. > :21:50.away with committing offences of that nature.
:21:50. > :21:54.It was an adventurer lifetime that turned into a terrifying ordeal.
:21:55. > :21:58.For the first time, one of the teenagers attacked by a polar bear
:21:58. > :22:02.in the Arctic has spoken of the attack. 16-year-old Patrick
:22:02. > :22:07.Flinders says he thought he was going to die as the bear gripped
:22:07. > :22:12.his head in its jaws. The savage attack happened earlier this month,
:22:12. > :22:19.leaving one student dead. It should have been a great
:22:19. > :22:23.adventure. 80 teenagers and leaders pitching camp inside the Arctic
:22:23. > :22:28.Circle on the Norwegian island of SFA told. A chance encounter with a
:22:28. > :22:32.polar bear left one dead and four others badly injured. A 13 strong
:22:32. > :22:37.group aged between 16 and 23 had pitched their tents in a rocky
:22:37. > :22:40.valley and settled down for the night. Patrick Flinders, who had
:22:40. > :22:43.raised several �1,000 to join the trip, had travelled from his home
:22:43. > :22:49.in Jersey. The party should have been protected by tripwires and
:22:49. > :22:56.flares. But they failed to operate when the bear crossed them and
:22:56. > :23:01.burst into a tent. I remember the bear coming into the tent.
:23:01. > :23:07.Everybody was screaming. Looking at my sleeping-bag, just seeing people
:23:07. > :23:13.really scared, seeing the polar bear. It grabbing my arm, biting it,
:23:14. > :23:18.grabbing my head and biting it. Me punching it, just to get it off me.
:23:18. > :23:22.The bear was eventually spot by -- shot by Spike Reid, one of the
:23:22. > :23:27.expedition leaders, who was also seriously hurt. Experts believe
:23:27. > :23:31.that the animal may have just been curious, but the encounter cost the
:23:31. > :23:35.life of Horatio Chappell, who had been asleep alongside Patrick.
:23:35. > :23:40.just glad that it was not me sleeping there. Every couple of
:23:40. > :23:44.nights we swapped around where we were slipping. If I had been
:23:44. > :23:49.sitting there that night, it could have been made. Patrick Flinders,
:23:49. > :23:53.who needed surgery to remove fragments of the bear's teeth from
:23:54. > :23:57.his skull vows he will never return to Svalbard. His injuries are
:23:57. > :24:00.healing, but his family knows that the memories of that night will
:24:00. > :24:04.take far longer to fade. A football fan has been acquitted
:24:04. > :24:08.of a sectarian assault on the Celtic manager Neil Lennon. John
:24:08. > :24:12.Wilson, 26, admitted a breach of the piece at Tynecastle Stadium in
:24:12. > :24:17.Edinburgh in May. Pictures showed him lunging at Neil Lennon during
:24:17. > :24:20.the game against Hearts. A charge of assault, aggravated by religious
:24:20. > :24:24.prejudice, was found not proven by the jury.
:24:24. > :24:29.It is deadline day in the football transfer market. The wheeling and
:24:29. > :24:32.dealing is well and truly under way. All of that top clubs are in the
:24:32. > :24:37.market to pick up a bargain and strengthen their squads, no one
:24:37. > :24:46.more so than Arsenal after their dismal start to the season. Let's
:24:46. > :24:52.Well, the nail-biting Countdown on this year's deadline day is truly
:24:52. > :24:55.under way. Managers have until 11 o'clock tonight to conclude any
:24:55. > :24:58.last-minute business and transfer dealings. Such is the money in the
:24:58. > :25:02.sport, so much at stake, one deal can mean the difference between
:25:02. > :25:05.staying in the Premier League or relegation. There's a huge amount
:25:05. > :25:12.of pressure on all clubs, but especially at Arsenal. They have
:25:12. > :25:16.about �80 million to spend with just a few hours now to spend it.
:25:16. > :25:20.The lowest experience of all of his years at Arsenal manager. It was
:25:20. > :25:23.the defeat that forced Arsene Wenger's hand. After years of
:25:24. > :25:27.nurturing young talent, the humiliation by Manchester United
:25:27. > :25:30.left the manager with just three days to replenish the depleted
:25:30. > :25:35.squad and provide shell-shocked fans with some much-needed retail
:25:35. > :25:42.therapy. In what has been a traumatic summer, they have lost
:25:42. > :25:47.Cesc Fabregas, Samir Nasri and Gael Clichy. Coming in are Korean Chu
:25:47. > :25:52.Young Park, Per Mertesacker and Andre Santos. For many, that is not
:25:53. > :25:56.enough. Arsenal fans are looking for a Bow signing, world-class
:25:56. > :26:00.players that will come in, immediately make a difference and
:26:00. > :26:04.give us new heroes to replace people like Fabregas and Nasri.
:26:04. > :26:10.While Arsenal tried desperately to spend big, that has been a problem
:26:10. > :26:14.for the Premier League as a whole. Up to 2010, the market was worth as
:26:14. > :26:18.much as �500 million. Last year that dropped to �350 million. But
:26:19. > :26:23.now things are looking up again. Over �400 million will be spent by
:26:23. > :26:27.the time the transfer window closes in less than five hours' time.
:26:27. > :26:30.revenue side, the broadcasting deals, commercial deals, the
:26:30. > :26:36.attendances, they are the three core revenue streams. They are
:26:36. > :26:40.pretty strong and remain strong. Seven years after they last won the
:26:40. > :26:44.title, Arsenal have fallen behind the Premier League's big spenders.
:26:44. > :26:50.Deadline day brings into focus football's new financial reality,
:26:50. > :26:54.that success does not come cheap. We understand in the last few
:26:54. > :27:01.minutes that Arsenal have made a �10 million bid for Everton's
:27:01. > :27:05.Spanish midfielder Michel Arteta. Scott Parker's move from West Ham
:27:05. > :27:11.to Spurs, Peter Crouch looks set to go to Stoke City. Joe Cole has gone
:27:11. > :27:19.on loan to Lille from Liverpool. It could be a few busy hours.
:27:19. > :27:23.This time yesterday we were talking about how it has been a dull August.
:27:23. > :27:28.I don't think the last date did much to improve the statistics. A
:27:28. > :27:31.lot of cloud. It's going to be a dry Night and Day chilly one. A few
:27:31. > :27:34.showers in northern Scotland and made eastern England. We might see
:27:34. > :27:40.one or two drifting across the Channel into southernmost counties
:27:40. > :27:46.of England. Most places stay in dry. A lot of cloud, but temperatures
:27:46. > :27:49.will fall to single digits in Scotland. 10 or 11 elsewhere. A
:27:49. > :27:53.similar day, certainly from Birmingham Northwood. Expect a lot
:27:53. > :27:58.of cloud. Further south, it should be brighter. Maybe some sunshine on
:27:58. > :28:02.offer in southern counties and across much of Wales. We might
:28:02. > :28:06.reach 21 in Cardiff. Across Northern Ireland it will be dry but
:28:06. > :28:10.predominantly cloudy. Maybe a few breaks in parts of the East. Parts
:28:10. > :28:14.of Scotland also looking great. A little bit of rain working its way
:28:14. > :28:19.into the Western Isles earlier on. For Eastern Scotland, a chance of a
:28:19. > :28:22.few breaks in the cloud. Across most of England it will be dry but
:28:22. > :28:27.predominantly cloudy. A lot of cloud across the Midlands and East
:28:27. > :28:31.Anglia. As we head further south, we should see more in the way of
:28:31. > :28:35.sunshine. It will feel quite a bit warmer, easily up to 21. It could
:28:35. > :28:39.be higher in places. Sunny spells across the south-west of England.
:28:39. > :28:41.Maybe just a breeze picking up across the course of the day. Many
:28:41. > :28:46.central and eastern areas are having a fine day on Friday.
:28:46. > :28:49.Temperatures are higher, 25 degrees. It changed for the North as that
:28:49. > :28:56.weather front brings cloud about bricks of rain to Scotland and
