New pension proposals for millions of public sector workers. They say

:00:17.:00:21.

workers will work longer, pay more and get less. Ministers insist it

:00:21.:00:26.

is a deal for a generation. This is a strong set of pension reforms

:00:26.:00:30.

which will give you pensions better than anything available in the

:00:30.:00:34.

private sector. There's no doubt there are very, very big barriers

:00:34.:00:44.
:00:44.:00:46.

in the way to be able to reach an France and Germany give Greece a

:00:46.:00:53.

stark choice - you're either in the eurozone or out.

:00:53.:00:58.

Bill Gates gives me his message to world leaders - don't let the

:00:58.:01:02.

economic crisis affect what we give the poor. I've still got what it

:01:02.:01:06.

takes. David Beckham puts down his marker for a place in Britain's

:01:06.:01:10.

Olympic team. We all dream about it. We all think about it. If it

:01:11.:01:20.
:01:21.:01:48.

Welcome to the BBC's news at 6pm. The row shows little sign of

:01:48.:01:55.

abating, that is despite a new deal from the Government. Workers will

:01:55.:02:00.

be protected and new pensions will grow more quickly. Staff will have

:02:00.:02:04.

to pay higher country buegs, and many will have to work --

:02:04.:02:08.

contributions and many will have to work longer. Unions are not

:02:08.:02:11.

satisfied and say they plan to continue their ballot on wide-

:02:11.:02:14.

spread industrial action, which could take place by the end of the

:02:14.:02:23.

month. Today brought an important new

:02:23.:02:28.

front in the battle over public sector pensions w the result of a

:02:28.:02:31.

ballot on industrial action Dubai one union tomorrow.

:02:31.:02:35.

The Government has come out with a new offer, what it's calling a very

:02:35.:02:41.

big move. David Cameron spelled out what he

:02:41.:02:46.

believed was on the table. Low and middle income earners will see more

:02:46.:02:50.

from their pensions. Everyone will keep what they have built up so far.

:02:50.:02:53.

Anyone within ten years of retirement will see no change in

:02:53.:02:57.

their pension arrangements. At the end of all this, people in the

:02:57.:03:01.

public sector will still get far better pensions than people in the

:03:01.:03:11.
:03:11.:03:28.

David Hambly is a social worker, as he's over 50 he would benefit from

:03:29.:03:35.

the Government's new proposal. He's still ready to go on strike. We're

:03:35.:03:41.

not militant. We are with an employer who is making an

:03:41.:03:45.

unreasonable attack on our pensions. At the TUC, union leaders discussed

:03:45.:03:49.

the new proposals and gave a measured reaction. We want to

:03:49.:03:52.

resolve this by negotiation, without the need for further

:03:52.:03:55.

industrial action. That has always been our position. There's no doubt

:03:55.:04:00.

there are very, very big barriers still in the way of us being able

:04:00.:04:03.

to reach an agreement. Union leaders acknowledge the Government

:04:03.:04:07.

has made concessions. They say the detail will now need to be looked

:04:07.:04:11.

at. And how it applies to different bits of the public sector like

:04:11.:04:15.

health and education. At this stage, there's no suggestion that the day

:04:15.:04:19.

of action and planned walkouts for the end of November will be called

:04:19.:04:23.

off. Good afternoon.... Ministers warned the offer could be withdrawn

:04:23.:04:30.

if there was no agreement. We have made a serious move and it's

:04:30.:04:32.

obviously conditional on there being agreement with the unions

:04:32.:04:36.

ultimately. The stress that this does need to

:04:36.:04:41.

be a solution, a settlement that endures for the long term.

:04:41.:04:45.

And with more union ballots due soon, it's not clear how the public

:04:45.:04:48.

will react to the threat of disrupted services and whether they

:04:48.:04:53.

will sympathise with the union fight to protect their pensions.

:04:53.:04:58.

Well, our political editor is in Downing Street. Nick, it is clearly

:04:58.:05:02.

not really happening around the negotiating table. It looks like it

:05:02.:05:07.

will end up a battle for public opinion? It may look that way. In

:05:07.:05:10.

truth the negotiations will go on. Take that warning that Francis

:05:10.:05:14.

Maude, the Cabinet Office minister made a few seconds ago in that

:05:14.:05:18.

report, saying they could withdraw this offer if the unions end

:05:18.:05:22.

negotiations. I am told however that it will not be withdrawn if

:05:22.:05:26.

the unions go ahead with their day of action and strikes on November

:05:27.:05:30.

30th. Ministers accept that unions will find it very difficult to back

:05:30.:05:33.

away from that. It would look like they are giving in. What is more,

:05:33.:05:38.

if they had to re-ballot members for strikes at later dates that

:05:38.:05:42.

could cost many millions of pounds. There'll be an argument in public

:05:42.:05:45.

and a different one in private. What ministers are hoping is they

:05:45.:05:48.

have sent a message tonight. They have sent a message to older

:05:48.:05:53.

workers to say, this doesn't affect you, if you are about to retire in

:05:53.:05:57.

the next ten years things will be as they are now. It sends a message

:05:57.:06:01.

to low and middle-income workers. It says to them, yes, you will have

:06:01.:06:06.

to work longer, as everybody else is. You'll have to pay more for

:06:06.:06:11.

your pension. You may get as much as you are now or even more. Stuen

:06:11.:06:15.

has to -- someone has to pick up the bill for that, it is higher

:06:15.:06:18.

paid workers and taxpayers. The other part of the Government's

:06:18.:06:23.

message is, there are millions of people who dream of having anything

:06:23.:06:27.

like a public sector pension. They hope those people will put pressure

:06:27.:06:30.

on public sector workers to accept that this is as good as it's going

:06:30.:06:34.

to get. Thank you.

:06:34.:06:42.

The German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, says Euro- zone plan is not

:06:42.:06:45.

up for negotiation. Angela Merkel and Nicolas Sarkozy

:06:45.:06:49.

will hold a meeting with Andreous Papandreou tonight, ahead of the

:06:49.:06:53.

G20 summit in Cannes. They are angry with him for calling for a

:06:53.:06:58.

referendum on last week's bail out plan for Greece.

:06:58.:07:03.

For the leaders of France and Germany, the shock of a Greek

:07:03.:07:07.

referendum feels like betrayal. Both President Sarkozy and

:07:07.:07:12.

President Merkel made huge efforts to deliver last week's Euro-deal.

:07:12.:07:15.

Tonight, they have summoned the Greek Prime Minister to Cannes, to

:07:15.:07:19.

urge him to stick with it. This is the man who has plunged the

:07:19.:07:22.

European Union back into crisis - Andreous Papandreou agreed last

:07:22.:07:27.

week in Brussels to what was called "the ultimate rescue." Now it is

:07:27.:07:32.

unravelling because he insists the Greek people must accept or reject

:07:32.:07:36.

it first in a referendum. There's no disguising Chancellor Merkel's

:07:36.:07:43.

anger today. TRANSLATION: We agreed a plan for

:07:43.:07:46.

Greece last week. As far as the European Union is concerned, we

:07:46.:07:50.

want to put this plan into practise. For this, we need clarity. The

:07:50.:07:54.

meeting tonight should help with precisely this.

:07:54.:08:00.

Five days ago, Europe was celebrating a measure to save the

:08:00.:08:07.

euro. All agreed on an �86 billion loan to Athens and a 50% debt

:08:07.:08:11.

write-off. Now the move to hold a referendum in the next 30 days has

:08:11.:08:14.

thrown everything in doubt. You can hear the frustration from France's

:08:14.:08:19.

Prime Minister in Parliament tonight.

:08:19.:08:23.

TRANSLATION: The Greeks must understand that Europe cannot spend

:08:23.:08:27.

long weeks waiting for the response they will give at the referendum.

:08:27.:08:32.

The Greeks must thus say quickly and unambiguously whether or not

:08:32.:08:38.

they are choosing to keep their place in the eurozone.

:08:38.:08:41.

As the world's most powerful leaders arrive here in Cannes and

:08:42.:08:46.

the Presidents of the United States and China will both be here among

:08:46.:08:49.

the economic giants it is increasingly clear that patience

:08:49.:08:54.

with Greece is rapidly running out, not just among eurozone Governments.

:08:54.:09:00.

The whole of the world has a stake in this, the deepening Euro-crisis

:09:00.:09:03.

is intensifying, raging instability which threatens economies right

:09:03.:09:07.

around the globe. And protestors in Cannes are hoping

:09:07.:09:13.

to have their voices heard too. Their complaint - that democracy in

:09:13.:09:16.

Greece is being sacrificed. They mock President Sarkozy and insist

:09:16.:09:21.

the world leaders need to join them, taking the plunge to protect

:09:21.:09:25.

ordinary people, as well as promoting global growth.

:09:25.:09:30.

Now, if the Greeks were to turn down the eurozone bail out deal in

:09:30.:09:35.

a referendum and default on their debts, the shock waves could be

:09:35.:09:42.

felt throughout the world economy. The eurozone's financial crisis,

:09:42.:09:48.

started in Greece 19 months ago and is still in Greece, but has spread

:09:48.:09:53.

to Ireland, Portugal, Spain, Belgium and perhaps most worryingly

:09:53.:09:56.

of all Italy, with its huge Government debts.

:09:56.:10:02.

So why does it matter that the Greece referendum could lead to

:10:02.:10:09.

Greece reneguing on its debts or withdraw from the euro? It is not

:10:09.:10:14.

just to distinguish this, you cannot get one country out and say

:10:14.:10:17.

the rest does not have similar implications. This is one of the

:10:17.:10:20.

crucial problems that other countries have similar, not as

:10:20.:10:24.

massive problems as Greece, and as long as you have this threat,

:10:24.:10:30.

invessors will think about it. point is that last week's painfully

:10:30.:10:33.

negotiated package does not have the money to cope with the losses

:10:33.:10:38.

and stresses which will be generated for countries or exit

:10:38.:10:42.

from the euro and it is Italy that looks most vulnerable. Italy's

:10:42.:10:49.

problem is its Government debt is huge. More than 120% of the value

:10:49.:10:52.

what it produces. Now creditors have become nervous about whether

:10:52.:10:57.

they will be re-paid, so they are charging Italy record amounts to

:10:57.:11:01.

borrow. An interest rate of 5% for a one-year loan, massively more

:11:01.:11:10.

than the 0.3% paid by Germany. Disaster for Italy which has to

:11:10.:11:16.

borrow 300 billion euros. It is vital for Europe's bail out

:11:16.:11:24.

fund to have enough money to fill that gap. Would one trillion be

:11:24.:11:27.

enough? One trillion is probably not enough. We have seen the

:11:27.:11:31.

spreading of the crisis to Italy and Spain and even before that

:11:31.:11:35.

crisis spread to the countries we thought that two trillion was

:11:35.:11:40.

probably mess. So one trillion not enough to stabilise the situation,

:11:40.:11:45.

I am afraid. The Italian Prime Minister and his Cabinet under

:11:45.:11:54.

pressure from Germany and other members to accelerate moves. We, as

:11:54.:11:58.

the Government are doing everything that was agreed with Europe. As for

:11:59.:12:04.

Greece, well the IMF is threatening to turn off its financial life-

:12:04.:12:08.

support machine until after the referendum result is known. Will

:12:08.:12:12.

such pressure persuade Greek people to stay a member of the eurozone

:12:12.:12:16.

circle, or will it break the circle with who knows what painful

:12:16.:12:23.

consequences for it and for us? Well, our Europe editor is in

:12:23.:12:26.

Cannes where the G20 summit is taking place. The Greek Prime

:12:26.:12:29.

Minister arrives there tonight, I think - what sort of message will

:12:29.:12:34.

he get? Well, George, an EU official has

:12:34.:12:38.

just told us that tonight, when Andreous Papandreou arrives here in

:12:38.:12:42.

kapbls, there will be tough talking. -- Cannes, there will be tough

:12:42.:12:48.

talking. He will be told don't expect renegotiation over what

:12:49.:12:51.

happened last week. He will be told if there is to be a referendum,

:12:51.:12:56.

make ed quick. We don't want this in the New Year, we want it in the

:12:56.:13:00.

next couple of weeks. The French and German will frame the nature of

:13:00.:13:05.

the question. They don't want it to be about austerity - do you want

:13:05.:13:10.

further austerity? They want it to be about; do you want to be in the

:13:10.:13:13.

eurozone or out of the eurozone? Whether they will be successful

:13:13.:13:18.

with that pressure is hard to know. Why does all this matter? It

:13:18.:13:22.

matters because of uncertainty. Europe's leaders and also the

:13:22.:13:25.

President of the United States tonight talking about the effect

:13:25.:13:29.

that this uncertainty is having on the global economy, not just the

:13:29.:13:32.

global economy of course, but also it matters to Britain, George.

:13:32.:13:37.

Thank you. The founder of the WikiLeaks

:13:37.:13:41.

website, Julian Assange, has lost his High Court battle against

:13:41.:13:47.

exfrom decision to Sweden. The -- ex-tradition to Sweden. He is

:13:47.:13:51.

wanted to be questioned about sexual assault allegations. Mr

:13:51.:13:56.

Assange denies the claims and says the case against him is

:13:56.:14:00.

politically-motivated. His lawyers have 14 days to decide whether to

:14:00.:14:03.

appeal to the Supreme Court or not. Five metd met police officers have

:14:03.:14:08.

been disciplined after smashing a suspects Carwyn dough with baseball

:14:08.:14:12.

bats. The Independent Police Complaints commission found they

:14:12.:14:16.

used unreasonable force during the incident in North London three

:14:16.:14:20.

years ago. A sixth officer was demoted for failing to supervise

:14:20.:14:24.

them properly. David Beckham says he can still perform at the highest

:14:24.:14:29.

level and he will know when it is time to quit football. Speaking to

:14:29.:14:35.

the BBC, the Los Angeles Galaxy midfielder said his next goal would

:14:35.:14:45.
:14:45.:14:46.

be to represent the 2012 Olympic For decades, people have been

:14:46.:14:50.

making the pilgrimage to this city, seeking fame and fortune. When he

:14:50.:14:56.

came to Los Angeles five years ago, David Beckham already had both.

:14:56.:15:01.

This season it has been his form on the pitch which has got Tinseltown

:15:01.:15:06.

talking, guiding his club, LA Galaxy, to within three games of

:15:06.:15:10.

the American title. But with his contract up at the end of the month,

:15:10.:15:15.

his time here could be coming to an end. So, has he helped football to

:15:15.:15:20.

break America? When I first came here, I always said, it is not

:15:20.:15:28.

going to be a huge success in a couple of years, it has to go on

:15:28.:15:32.

longer than that. There was the buzz at the start, there has been

:15:32.:15:36.

new stadiums getting built, new players coming to the country, but

:15:36.:15:40.

there is still a long way to go. David Beckham's time in America may

:15:40.:15:43.

not have completed delivered on all the ambitious targets he set

:15:43.:15:48.

himself. But he remains one of world football's most valuable

:15:48.:15:53.

brands. The question is, at the age of 36, how long he can continue

:15:53.:16:00.

playing. There is still interested in signing him back in Europe, most

:16:00.:16:03.

notably from Paris St Germain. That's why he insists he's not

:16:04.:16:07.

ready to quit just yet. It is always difficult when you come

:16:07.:16:11.

towards the end of your career, it is always difficult making that

:16:11.:16:14.

decision about stopping. But I don't think I will have that

:16:14.:16:23.

problem. I think I will know when I need to finish. But that's not yet.

:16:23.:16:28.

As part of the London 2012 bid team, Beckham helped bring the Olympics

:16:29.:16:34.

to his home city. Now, he's focused on playing a key role in the

:16:34.:16:39.

British football team's push for gold. When it comes to leading my

:16:39.:16:44.

country, or playing for my country, it is still a big thing. We all

:16:44.:16:48.

dream about it, we all think about it. If it happens, then I would be

:16:48.:16:53.

honoured. Some people will think, that's a bit of an indulgence, we

:16:53.:16:58.

should be picking other players, we want the best, youngest team.

:16:58.:17:02.

people will say that, but people have been saying there that about

:17:02.:17:08.

me for the last 10-15 years. I have continued to represent my country.

:17:08.:17:12.

David Beckham could have used his time in Los Angeles to gently wind

:17:12.:17:16.

down after a long career in the spotlight. Instead, this American

:17:16.:17:22.

adventure has left his footballing ambitions still burning. And you

:17:22.:17:27.

can see the full interview with David Beckham on Football Focus on

:17:27.:17:37.

Saturday here on BBC One. Our main headline - the unions to reject a

:17:37.:17:40.

new government offer on pension reforms for millions of public

:17:40.:17:46.

sector workers. Coming up, cake lends a helping hand on a visit to

:17:46.:17:56.
:17:56.:18:09.

a UNICEF emergency supply centre. - The Archbishop of Canterbury has

:18:09.:18:12.

defended the way the Church of England is dealing with the

:18:12.:18:15.

protests outside St Paul's cathedral. Almost three weeks after

:18:16.:18:19.

the demonstrators set up camp, Dr Rowan Williams says in an interview

:18:19.:18:24.

with the BBC that it has been a real focus for people's feelings

:18:24.:18:28.

about the banking industry, and he has backed the introduction of a

:18:28.:18:33.

new introduction -- international tax on financial transactions.

:18:33.:18:38.

Robert Piggott reports. Anglicans have watched a protest about banks

:18:38.:18:43.

become a debate about whether their own church is standing up to

:18:43.:18:47.

Christian values. Today, its leader emerged to try to wrest back

:18:47.:18:53.

control of the debate. Dr Williams said people were frustrated by

:18:53.:18:58.

Bancos' irresponsible behaviour, and their soaring bonuses. It is

:18:58.:19:03.

not changing fast enough, people still feel that the public is

:19:03.:19:07.

bearing more of the cost than they ought to. So this has been a real

:19:07.:19:11.

focus for people's feelings, even if they have not known exactly what

:19:11.:19:18.

they're after. What would you say to criticism that you have been

:19:18.:19:22.

slow in exercising your own leadership on this one. It is

:19:22.:19:25.

always difficult judging these things, and I may not have got it

:19:25.:19:30.

right, but anyway, this is what I have got to say now. For Dr

:19:30.:19:35.

Williams, this all represents an opportunity as well as a danger. He

:19:35.:19:38.

wants the Church to seize back the initiative and put Christian

:19:38.:19:41.

concern for the Palace at the centre of the debate. So today he

:19:41.:19:49.

has challenged the government to use the G20 to back controversial

:19:49.:19:53.

proposals for a tax on financial transactions. The so-called Robin

:19:53.:19:58.

Hood tax would place a tiny levy on the millions of share, bond and

:19:58.:20:03.

currency transactions which take place each day. Dr Williams said

:20:03.:20:07.

the tax could be one way of answering the campaign ofs' moral

:20:07.:20:12.

agenda. When you have a scheme like this, backed by a lot of serious

:20:12.:20:17.

economists, people who cannot just be written off as knee-jerk anti-

:20:17.:20:22.

capitalists. It means there must be something to be said for it.

:20:22.:20:27.

Protesters welcomed Dr Williams' intervention. Enormous institutions

:20:27.:20:30.

and powerful individuals are starting to raise questions in the

:20:30.:20:33.

media. Everyone here has got a renewed sense of zeal and

:20:33.:20:37.

commitment. It is a nice answer to the critics who say it has all been

:20:37.:20:41.

pointless. The Prime Minister said today that Dr Williams spoke for

:20:41.:20:46.

everyone in doubting whether high earners were behaving

:20:46.:20:50.

responsibility, but that Britain would back the tax only if it were

:20:50.:20:54.

adopted worldwide. The Archbishop is not the only prominent figure

:20:54.:20:58.

backing a new tax on financial deals. Today, bill Gates, the

:20:58.:21:03.

former head of Microsoft, and one of the world's richest men, says he,

:21:03.:21:07.

too, favours the tax, but he would like to spend some of the billions

:21:07.:21:12.

raised on helping the world's poor. He told me today this was a message

:21:12.:21:18.

he would be taking to the Cannes summit. Bill Gates is arguably the

:21:18.:21:22.

businessman of his age, the big beast of the information era. It

:21:22.:21:26.

made him one of the world's wealthiest men. But now, he has

:21:26.:21:30.

turned his attention to the plight of the poor. Today he told me that

helping them was in our interest. Not caring about the instability of

:21:37.:21:42.

these countries really would hurt our economic future quite

:21:42.:21:48.

dramatically, whether it is on rest, disease... On the other hand, if

:21:49.:21:54.

you bring these people into the world economy, then you get is very

:21:54.:22:01.

positive cycle. So, all of these things need money, and you have now

:22:01.:22:08.

come to support a tax on financial transactions, and interestingly,

:22:08.:22:11.

the Archbishop of Canterbury has come out today in support of that.

:22:11.:22:19.

But he's that really something that is going to fly, given the

:22:19.:22:22.

opposition? I don't know. It is clearly a political question. When

:22:22.:22:28.

we talk about the financial transaction tax, there's many

:22:28.:22:32.

flavours of this. What I was looking at is, are other ways for

:22:33.:22:37.

countries which are falling a bit short of their aid commitments, are

:22:37.:22:41.

there ways that they could raise money to get to those commitment

:22:41.:22:47.

levels? My expertise involves being able to say, if you apply it to

:22:47.:22:51.

development aid, it will have a fantastic effect. Bill Gates

:22:51.:22:55.

accepts that these are tough and volatile times for the global

:22:55.:22:59.

economy, but he insists that the poor should not be sacrificed to

:22:59.:23:09.
:23:09.:23:10.

save the rich. I think steps have to be taken to restore confidence

:23:10.:23:14.

in the fact that governments will pay their debts. I do think we can

:23:14.:23:22.

come out of this without taking that 1% which goes to the poorest

:23:23.:23:26.

and using that as a way to solve the problem. This time tomorrow,

:23:26.:23:31.

bill Gates will be at the summit in Cannes, and he is determined to

:23:31.:23:35.

make sure that the voices of the poor are not forgotten when the

:23:35.:23:39.

world's most powerful politicians sit round a table. An investigation

:23:39.:23:42.

into two earth tremors on the Lancashire coast has found it is

:23:42.:23:46.

highly probable that there were caused by the controversial gas

:23:46.:23:51.

extraction method called fracking. Our correspondent is that the

:23:51.:23:54.

drilling site in Lancashire. This is going to add to the fears and

:23:54.:24:01.

arguments about this particular way of extracting gas... It is, because

:24:01.:24:06.

fracking involves drilling 9,000ft below the surface, shattering the

:24:06.:24:11.

rocks and releasing gas. There were exploratory tests on this site back

:24:11.:24:16.

in the spring which was stopped after a few weeks because a couple

:24:16.:24:20.

of earth tremors were felt measuring up to 2. Re-on the scale

:24:20.:24:24.

of magnitude. Today, a report has been released which says it is

:24:24.:24:27.

highly probable that those earth tremors were caused by the fracking.

:24:27.:24:33.

But the report also says that should fracking be resumed here,

:24:33.:24:38.

that further tremors are unlikely to happen. So, Cuadrilla, the

:24:38.:24:41.

company operating this drill, wants to start up again, and is waiting

:24:41.:24:45.

for the green light from government. Today alone on this site there have

:24:45.:24:49.

been protesters who came in in the morning and were here all day, and

:24:49.:24:54.

have just been removed. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are in

lives. Here, they are trying to exploit that global fascination and

focus it on the needs of others. Aid agencies are appealing for more

money at a time of financial difficulties for many. Prince

William knows it will be a challenge. As tragic and disastrous

:25:59.:26:03.

as everything is, financially, what's going on in Africa puts

:26:03.:26:08.

everything into perspective. Kate says she wants to put the spotlight

:26:08.:26:13.

back on this crisis. It is really just how shocking this situation

:26:13.:26:18.

still is. It has been going on for 100 days or so. It is really still

:26:18.:26:24.

ongoing. A huge amount still has to happen, with hundreds of children

:26:24.:26:29.

still malnourished at the moment. In a warehouse the size of three

work done here. They have come for a day. The problems they have been

:26:37.:26:43.

highlighting will last for many, many days. It is time for the

:26:43.:26:50.

many days. It is time for the weather now. Yes, a lot more cloud

:26:50.:26:55.

around tonight, and all of you are set to see some wet weather and at

:26:55.:26:59.

times. The wind is coming from a south-easterly direction, which

:26:59.:27:03.

will be crucial to temperatures overnight. The wet weather is

:27:03.:27:09.

coming northwards and eastwards from the south. Some of it will be

:27:09.:27:15.

heavy at times. But the wind coming from the south-east will keep

:27:15.:27:23.

temperatures up. Tomorrow morning, the heaviest of the rain will have

:27:23.:27:29.

pushed into Scotland, central and eastern areas in particular. A few

:27:29.:27:34.

showers in Northern Ireland, but the early morning heavy rain across

:27:34.:27:39.

northern England will be easing off. It will be leaving a good deal of

:27:39.:27:49.
:27:49.:27:53.

standing water in its wake. We will see some more showers developing

:27:53.:28:03.
:28:03.:28:05.

during the day. But there will also be some drier and brighter weather.

:28:05.:28:09.

Tomorrow night is not vastly dissimilar to tonight. There will

:28:09.:28:14.

be more heavy rain working its way northwards and eastwards. The winds

:28:14.:28:18.

will be lighter on Friday. But there will be some heavy showers,

:28:18.:28:23.

particularly in the morning, more especially across southern areas.

:28:23.:28:27.

After a rather chilly night, Saturday brings this low pressure

be a wet and windy day in southern and eastern areas. Our main
