:01:34. > :01:38.News at Six. Heathrow Airport has warned of gridlock next Wednesday

:01:38. > :01:42.when immigration officers walk out as part of the public sector strike.

:01:42. > :01:46.The airport's owner BAA says passengers can expect delays of up

:01:46. > :01:49.to 12 hours. It's asked airlines flying into Heathrow to reduce by

:01:49. > :01:52.half the number of people they bring in on Wednesday, and offer

:01:52. > :01:56.their passengers alternative dates to travel. Other airports will also

:01:56. > :02:02.be affected. Our transport correspondent Richard Lister

:02:02. > :02:05.reports. More international passengers fly

:02:05. > :02:10.into Heathrow than anywhere else, but the airport's warning that next

:02:10. > :02:13.Wednesday they may face gridlock. Industrial action's caused problems

:02:14. > :02:18.here before. These planes were grounded during a dispute in March

:02:18. > :02:20.last year. Heathrow's asking airlines to fly their planes in

:02:20. > :02:23.half-full during the strike, warning them in a letter that

:02:23. > :02:27.without further action arriving passengers could face delays of up

:02:27. > :02:32.to 12 hours, so long that passengers could not be safely

:02:33. > :02:39.accommodated, and would need to be held on arriving aircraft.

:02:39. > :02:42.Sarah from Gloucestershire is flying to kol rad do on -- kol rad

:02:42. > :02:47.do on Wednesday. British Airways have offered to change her flight.

:02:47. > :02:53.Very angry. We have worked hard all year to pay for the holiday and to

:02:53. > :02:56.go and enjoy our snowboarding trip and to spend 12-plus hours in

:02:56. > :03:01.Heathrow is not the way we planned on starting it. But here's what she

:03:01. > :03:04.is up against. Striking unions represent more than 1800 border

:03:04. > :03:08.control staff at Heathrow. They say not a single member will turn up

:03:08. > :03:12.for work on Wednesday. Other civil servants are being brought in but

:03:12. > :03:17.immigration staffing levels are expected to be less than 50%. And

:03:17. > :03:21.by 9.00am on Wednesday almost 100 long haul flights and 22,000

:03:21. > :03:25.passengers will already have landed. The problem for Heathrow is that it

:03:25. > :03:31.operates at 98% capacity which gives it almost no room for

:03:31. > :03:34.manoeuvre when trouble strikes. So, even a mod rat disruption can --

:03:34. > :03:37.moderate disruption can spiral into something worse. The UK Border

:03:37. > :03:40.Agency had said there were robust contingency plans to replace

:03:40. > :03:44.striking immigration officers. Today, though, Downing Street

:03:44. > :03:50.suggested those plans were still a work in progress and that doesn't

:03:50. > :03:53.reassure British business. If you are having people for 12 hours in

:03:53. > :03:58.planes, to investors or American business people who are coming here

:03:58. > :04:04.to do business, you are going to turn Britain into a laughing stock

:04:04. > :04:07.internationally. Other UK airports are not expected to be as badly hit

:04:07. > :04:11.but Heathrow is despite to avoid the gridlock caused by last

:04:11. > :04:14.winter's snow and as the airlines and the Government only can keep

:04:14. > :04:17.passengers moving. Richard is here now. Clearly

:04:17. > :04:22.Heathrow's going to be very badly affected. What about transport

:04:22. > :04:25.overall? Well, something like 288,000 people cross into the UK

:04:25. > :04:28.every day and Heathrow is going to be the worst affected because of

:04:28. > :04:31.its capacity problems. Gatwick is warning of the potential for

:04:31. > :04:34.significant delays, but they think they can cope. The regional

:04:34. > :04:40.airports, Liverpool, Manchester, have both told us today they think

:04:40. > :04:42.they'll probably be OK. Stansted, the same. Ferry travellers may face

:04:42. > :04:46.disruption, particularly those travelling through northern France

:04:47. > :04:50.which will also be affected by the strike. What we don't know is how

:04:50. > :04:55.many passengers will change their plans on Wednesday and we don't

:04:55. > :04:59.know how many people will turn up to staff those immigration desks.

:04:59. > :05:02.Thank you. Hundreds of thousands of

:05:02. > :05:05.workplacements are to be created for unemployed young people in a

:05:05. > :05:09.new Government scheme. Private employers will be offered a subsidy

:05:10. > :05:13.if they take on an 18-24-year-old for at least six months. The Deputy

:05:13. > :05:17.Prime Minister said �1 billion will be spent on the project over three

:05:17. > :05:21.years. But it's unclear where that money will come from. Our political

:05:21. > :05:26.correspondent Ben Geoghan reports. He is young, he is out of work, and

:05:26. > :05:30.he is one in more than a million others. He left college two months

:05:30. > :05:35.ago, he has been working for work ever since. So far, without any

:05:35. > :05:41.luck. I just feel stuck. I am in the middle, I just feel stuck

:05:41. > :05:45.basically. I am applying, nobody getting back to me. It feels like

:05:45. > :05:50.time's flying but it's me standing still. I am really incredibly

:05:50. > :05:53.grateful to you for getting up so early. Today, Nick Clegg tried to

:05:53. > :05:58.give more young people a reason to get up early. He announced details

:05:58. > :06:03.of a so-called youth contract, a scheme to subsidise workplacements

:06:03. > :06:06.in the private sector. If you are between the ages of 18 and 24 and

:06:06. > :06:10.out of work and you are feeling lonely and demoralised and cut off

:06:10. > :06:12.at home, sending out job applications, never getting an

:06:12. > :06:18.answer, we will under this contract give you the opportunity to learn

:06:18. > :06:22.or earn. Under the youth contract 250,000 extra work experience

:06:22. > :06:26.places will be on offer, each lasting up to eight weeks. On top

:06:27. > :06:31.of that, the wages of 160,000 young people will be subsidised by the

:06:31. > :06:38.Government for six months. Employers will get over �2,000 for

:06:38. > :06:41.every person they take on. There will also be money for more young

:06:41. > :06:44.apprentices and one man who knows a lot about them is warning the

:06:44. > :06:48.scheme will have to be monitored properly. Every time someone comes

:06:48. > :06:53.up with new scheme you can start to see how it can be abused, take

:06:53. > :06:58.someone on for six months, take the money, threw them out. Bring

:06:58. > :07:02.another one in, take the money. The benefit has to be to the actual

:07:02. > :07:07.employee. The Government is putting �1 billion into the Youth Contract

:07:07. > :07:12.which will be paid out over three years. And the hope is it will help

:07:12. > :07:17.more than 400,000 young people find work. But what Ministers haven't

:07:17. > :07:20.spelt out today is exactly where that money will come from.

:07:20. > :07:25.Labour have criticised the Government for axing their jobs

:07:25. > :07:29.scheme. They're concerned at suggestions this one will be paid

:07:29. > :07:32.for by freezing some tax credits. We think there should and bigger

:07:32. > :07:38.scheme that will get more young people back to work but would fund

:07:38. > :07:42.it by a sensible and fair tax on bankers' bonuses. It should be a

:07:42. > :07:45.bonus tax paying young people back to work not a squeeze on family tax

:07:45. > :07:50.credits. Next week the Government will be making more announcements

:07:50. > :07:54.about how to get the economy moving. Its critics say its policies are

:07:54. > :07:57.putting jobs at risk. While the uprising continues in

:07:57. > :08:01.Syria, journalists are banned from reporting there. But the BBC has

:08:01. > :08:04.managed to get into the country with the Syrian Free Army, the

:08:04. > :08:08.opposition force made up of soldiers who have defected from the

:08:08. > :08:11.Government side. Our correspondent Paul Wood and cameraman Fred Scott

:08:12. > :08:19.report from Homs, the scene of the worst violence of the eight-month

:08:19. > :08:26.uprising. Syria's border with Lebanon. These

:08:26. > :08:32.men are taking in guns to support a growing insurgency. The area is

:08:32. > :08:37.mined and full of Syrian patrols. Hours earlier, a smuggler was

:08:37. > :08:41.captured here. Each man carries two or three Kalashnikovs for the

:08:41. > :08:51.fighters inside. Our guides are not paid smugglers,

:08:51. > :08:53.

:08:53. > :09:02.but supporters of the revolution. The regime's had us under siege for

:09:02. > :09:12.40 years, he says. We have been starving for 40 years.

:09:12. > :09:12.

:09:12. > :09:22.In to Homs. The Syrian army is all around.

:09:22. > :09:35.

:09:35. > :09:42.They'll probably shoot if they spot The people are hemmed in by the

:09:42. > :09:47.security forces. The fear is sufficient sufficient --

:09:47. > :09:54.suffocating. But the firepower is no longer all on one side. These

:09:54. > :09:59.are the men of the Free Syria Army. They don't exactly hold this area,

:09:59. > :10:04.they just hope to slow up the security forces. Almost from the

:10:04. > :10:07.beginning it was Syrian Government propaganda that armed groups or

:10:07. > :10:10.tkpwapbgs as -- gangs as they were called were supporting the

:10:10. > :10:18.opposition. Now after months of protesters being shot down in the

:10:18. > :10:26.streets that myth of an armed insurgency has become reality.

:10:26. > :10:35.GUNFIRE. More join every day. A gun battle

:10:35. > :10:45.signals another defection. Soldiers are running in, fired on by former

:10:45. > :10:48.

:10:48. > :10:53.comrades. Five made it out. A 6th did not. We

:10:53. > :10:59.heard him screaming, he says, we couldn't go back, there were too

:10:59. > :11:05.many troops chasing us. Another explains that they fled

:11:05. > :11:14.after being ordered to shoot unarmed protesters. We are all one

:11:14. > :11:19.people, one blood, we can't just kill them. The rebels believe they

:11:19. > :11:24.can win, if there's help from outside. They want a no-fly zone

:11:24. > :11:27.over Syria. Network Rail is to be prosecuted

:11:28. > :11:33.after a long campaign by the parents of two girls who died on a

:11:33. > :11:37.level crossing in 2005. Olivia Bazlinton, who was 14, and

:11:37. > :11:43.Charlotte Thomson, who was 13, were killed as they used a footpath to

:11:43. > :11:46.cross a railway line to reach a platform at Elsenham in Essex.

:11:46. > :11:49.Forensic scientists spent two years re-examining thousands of clothes

:11:49. > :11:54.fibres before bringing two men accused of the murder of Stephen

:11:54. > :11:58.Lawrence to trial. Prosecuters claim evidence on the clothes of

:11:58. > :12:04.Gary Dobson and David Norris links them to the killing 18 years ago.

:12:04. > :12:08.Both men deny murder. There's some flash photography at the start of

:12:08. > :12:13.this report. Doctor Angela Gallop led the so-

:12:13. > :12:18.called cold case review of the Stephen Lawrence inquiry in 2007,

:12:18. > :12:22.the aim to discover if this company, LGC Forensics could find new

:12:22. > :12:27.evidence on Stephen Lawrence's clothes, stored since his death, or

:12:27. > :12:33.those seized from the homes of David Norris and Gary Dobson. The

:12:33. > :12:38.experts started their search with Stephen's black jacket. On it they

:12:38. > :12:42.found reddy pink fibres from this, his shirt worn underneath. Were any

:12:42. > :12:47.of those fibres on the suspects' clothing? Samples from Gary

:12:47. > :12:50.Dobson's jacket were searched. And more red pink fibres were

:12:50. > :12:55.discovered, one stained with what might have been blood. More flakes

:12:55. > :12:59.of blood were found in brown paper evidence bags used to store the

:12:59. > :13:05.exhibits, which triggered another microscopic search of Gary Dobson's

:13:05. > :13:11.jacket. On the collar a single tiny blood spot was found with an almost

:13:11. > :13:16.full DNA match to Stephen. The team also found a hair on David Norris

:13:16. > :13:21.jeans, alleged to match Stephen's. The defence says these findings are

:13:21. > :13:25.due to contamination over the years. In fact, this afternoon the veteran

:13:25. > :13:29.barrister Michael Mansfield QC, more used to asking the questions,

:13:29. > :13:33.was pressed repeatedly about whether he opened a packet

:13:33. > :13:36.containing Gary Dobson's jacket at the inquest into Stephen Lawrence's

:13:36. > :13:45.death. No, he said, he almost certainly hadn't. There will be

:13:45. > :13:48.more evidence next week. Our top story tonight: Heathrow

:13:48. > :13:53.passengers are told to expect delays of up to 12 hours when

:13:53. > :13:57.immigration officers go on strike. The airport asks planes to arrive

:13:57. > :14:01.half-empty as it warns of gridlock. Coming up. Martin Johnson describes

:14:01. > :14:08.the fallout from the rugby World Cup as one of the worst things he

:14:08. > :14:12.has experienced in the game. Coming up on BBC News: We are

:14:12. > :14:22.gearing up for the final race of the season in Brazil as world

:14:22. > :14:26.champion Sebastian Vettel chases yet more records.

:14:27. > :14:30.It's been called the most ambitious mission to Mars ever. Tomorrow

:14:30. > :14:36.afternoon the American space agency NASA will launch a vehicle the size

:14:36. > :14:39.of a car on a nine-month voyage to the Red Planet. When it arrives the

:14:39. > :14:43.Curiousity Rover will begin the most extensive search yet for signs

:14:43. > :14:53.of whether life was or is possible on Mars. Our science correspondent

:14:54. > :14:59.David Shukman was given special High above Earth, this is what's

:14:59. > :15:04.meant to happen tomorrow afternoon. The start of the boldest journey to

:15:04. > :15:09.Mars so far. By next August, a strange craft

:15:09. > :15:14.should be decepblding to the Martian surface -- descending to

:15:14. > :15:20.the Martian surface. A Rover, called Curiosity, packed with

:15:20. > :15:24.instruments. Nothing this big has ever been sent to another planet.

:15:24. > :15:33.This full-scale replica shows you the size of this mission. It's the

:15:33. > :15:37.largest machine ever to be sent to the surface of Mars. It's a roving

:15:37. > :15:41.laboratory. Down below a drill, to get to the Martian surface to look

:15:41. > :15:45.for clues about possible life. Conditions are extremely hostile on

:15:45. > :15:50.Mars. The hope is to gather samples from inside the rock and soil. The

:15:50. > :15:54.aim, to search for evidence about what might have flourished in the

:15:55. > :15:59.past. Each tiny collection of dust will be dropped into a special

:15:59. > :16:03.container and will then be analysed inside the Rover. The most detailed

:16:04. > :16:08.investigation of whether anything could ever have lived here. We are

:16:08. > :16:12.hoping to figure out whether Mars was ever a habitable planet. We're

:16:12. > :16:18.going to go and look in one of the ancient environments. At a time

:16:18. > :16:21.when there was flowing water, and rivers and lakes. And see if it

:16:21. > :16:25.offered an opportunity for life to take hold and develop. Before any

:16:25. > :16:33.of that, the Rover must get to Mars safely.

:16:33. > :16:41.For this mission, they are trying out a new way of landing.

:16:41. > :16:44.A rocket-powered decent, with the rocket lowered on a tether. It is

:16:44. > :16:52.highly risky. The man behind Britain's failed mission to Mars

:16:52. > :16:57.eight years ago is worried again. Hoovering above the site. A car-

:16:57. > :17:02.sized rover, it is not easy. It is tricky. I shall be nervous. So, a

:17:02. > :17:09.huge gamble. If it works, we may get a bit closer to knowing if it's

:17:09. > :17:14.possible that we're not alone. The man chosen to be Egypt's new

:17:14. > :17:21.Prime Minister says he wants to search the people. Thousands of

:17:21. > :17:23.protestors are demanding an end to military rule. After Friday prayers,

:17:23. > :17:27.100,000 Egyptians packed into Tahrir Square. A large counter

:17:27. > :17:33.demonstration of people who support the Army is taking place in another

:17:33. > :17:38.major square in the city. First- time mothers who opt for home

:17:38. > :17:42.births are at greatest risk than those who have hospital births. The

:17:42. > :17:46.research looked at 65,000 births in England. It found the chance of

:17:46. > :17:51.harm to the baby is still under 1%. For a second baby, there's no

:17:51. > :18:01.difference at all. Here's our health correspondent.

:18:41. > :18:46.Very few babies are born at home. Up to now, we haven't had good

:18:46. > :18:52.evidence about the safety of home as a place of birth. Now, for the

:18:52. > :18:56.first time, with this study, we can make direct comparisons with

:18:56. > :19:00.hospital units. Samantha had her baby in a doctor-run unit in the

:19:00. > :19:10.hospital. Charlie was born without too much help. Where doctors are in

:19:10. > :19:15.charge, the chances of a normal birth are reduced. Annette choose a

:19:15. > :19:19.mid--wife run unit. For low-risk woman this is very safe. This is a

:19:20. > :19:24.new life coming into the world. You want to make sure they are safe. It

:19:24. > :19:29.was just more security for the first one because I didn't know

:19:29. > :19:34.what to expect. Where midwifes are in charge, the rate of emergency

:19:41. > :19:47.it is �1,631 on average. Midwife run units it falls to �1,461. At

:19:47. > :19:52.home, it's just over �1,000. In many areas, women don't have

:19:52. > :19:58.much choice. We know that in 50% of NHS Trusts

:19:58. > :20:04.there are no midwife-run units. Only 3% of births are home births.

:20:26. > :20:33.In Wales, Labour and the Liberal Democrats have agreed a deal over

:20:33. > :20:37.the Welsh Government's �14.5 bill budget. After weeks of talks a

:20:37. > :20:42.final vote will take next month. Our correspondent is outside the

:20:42. > :20:45.Welsh Assembly. Is it a done deal now? It is a done deal. Not really

:20:45. > :20:48.surprising. Time was running out for the Welsh Labour Government.

:20:48. > :20:51.They hold 30 of the 60 seats. Enough to form a Government. Not

:20:51. > :20:55.enough to force through their spending plans. I think it's fair

:20:55. > :20:58.to say the Welsh Liberal Democrats would have been keen to strike some

:20:58. > :21:01.sort of deal, perhaps to put distance between themselves and the

:21:01. > :21:06.UK coalition. It is a matter of months before local elections here

:21:06. > :21:11.in Wales. What they have got in return for votes, well an extra �20

:21:11. > :21:15.million spent on poorest students. Not something you would imagine

:21:15. > :21:19.that Labour would find too difficult to find a deal to help

:21:19. > :21:23.poorest pupils here. They have agreed an economic stimulus package.

:21:23. > :21:31.Money we thought would probably be spent there any way. Plaid Cymru

:21:31. > :21:35.have said they have spent their votes and sold them too cheaply.

:21:35. > :21:42.They suspect in the morning the Welsh Liberal Democrats leader

:21:42. > :21:46.might live to regret this deal. Thank you. The former England

:21:46. > :21:49.manager, Martin Johnson, has described the fall out of the rugby

:21:49. > :21:54.cup campaign as one of the worst things he has experienced in the

:21:54. > :22:01.game. He stood down as team manager last week. Today, he launched a

:22:01. > :22:06.passionate defence of his players. As a player, he was the totem of

:22:06. > :22:11.English rugby. The first and only man to lead his country to World

:22:11. > :22:16.Cup glory. As a coach, Martin Johnson was to become the fall guy

:22:16. > :22:22.for England's dismal World Cup. His reputation has suffered damages by

:22:22. > :22:25.leaking of reports which revealed his players' thoughts on the

:22:25. > :22:31.campaign. He has admit it was hurt. It is one of the worst things I

:22:31. > :22:35.have experienced in the game. I also now, I sit in feed-back

:22:35. > :22:40.meetings, 90% of the time with the players. You come out sometimes and

:22:40. > :22:44.you can get contrary arguments. Johnson was also forced to address

:22:44. > :22:51.the latest revelations, which suggest an unnamed player felt they

:22:51. > :22:56.were put under player by the RFU to pay off a hotel chamber maid over

:22:56. > :22:59.an incident which players were subsequently played. She asked for

:22:59. > :23:04.compensation. The last thing those players needed and the team needed

:23:04. > :23:07.was for a story to break on the morning of a game. This week's leak

:23:07. > :23:12.painted a picture of a divided squad, with some players appearing

:23:12. > :23:16.to care more about money than winning. After unprecedented

:23:16. > :23:20.upheaval here, the relationship between those who play here and the

:23:20. > :23:24.RFU appears at breaking-point. There may be a lack of respect or

:23:24. > :23:28.sense of collaboration between the players and the RFU. It's done

:23:28. > :23:32.considerable damage. If you like, there's an opportunity

:23:32. > :23:37.for who ever comes in, be it a care-taker role or going forward,

:23:37. > :23:42.to try and restore that relationship, because it has beenor

:23:42. > :23:45.peddos by what is going on. There's no doubt the reigning champions

:23:45. > :23:52.still have talent. The problem for England is the way they have

:23:52. > :23:59.behaved and the way hay have been portrayed. Now it's a remarkable

:23:59. > :24:05.story which has astonished medical experts Monique Van der Vorst has

:24:05. > :24:08.been paralysed from the waist down for 13 years. Last year she crashed

:24:08. > :24:17.during training. Soon after the feeling gradually began to return

:24:17. > :24:22.to her legs. Now she hopes to compete as an able bodied athlete.

:24:22. > :24:26.Meet Monique Van der Vorst as she once was. A Paralympian. A world

:24:27. > :24:32.beater at handcycling. Paralysed in both her legs. Now, meet her today.

:24:32. > :24:36.From the age of 13 her left leg was paralysed after surgery on her foot

:24:36. > :24:42.went wrong. Three years ago, she also lost the use of her right leg

:24:42. > :24:45.in a car crash. Then last year, Monique Van der

:24:45. > :24:49.Vorst had another terrible training accident which put her back in

:24:49. > :24:53.hospital for a long time. During the months of physiotherapy and

:24:53. > :24:58.training, she began to get feeling in her legs and then the use of

:24:58. > :25:02.both of them. Doctors simply can't explain it. I just did it. I just

:25:02. > :25:05.walked. I did it over and over again until I fell over on the

:25:05. > :25:10.ground. I could not believe it. think many people cannot believe it.

:25:10. > :25:14.Can you explain it? No. I have no idea how it happened! I really

:25:14. > :25:21.don't know. So, you could not use your legs for three years of your

:25:21. > :25:24.life, both legs and 13 of your life for one leg? Yeah. Now you are

:25:24. > :25:30.cycling again. Her living room is full of the trophies and medals

:25:31. > :25:34.from a long career as a disabled athlete. Three World Championships,

:25:34. > :25:39.eight nationals, and twice a silver medallist at the Beijing

:25:39. > :25:45.Paralympics. That's all over now. It feels like a new life, a new

:25:45. > :25:50.chance. I'm very lucky and very happy to do it all again. Now with

:25:50. > :25:53.my legs. Also, besides the sport, life is easier, walking and it's

:25:53. > :26:00.feels like a big challenge. I really want to push hard and train

:26:00. > :26:03.and see where I can get. So, she has lived one Olympic dream. Now

:26:03. > :26:12.she hopes to power her way to another.

:26:12. > :26:16.Rio, 2016? I would not bet against Amazing!

:26:16. > :26:18.The Duchess of Cornwall has visited the set of Strictly Come Dancing,

:26:18. > :26:26.where she saw rehearsals for tomorrow night's show. The Duchess,

:26:26. > :26:31.who is a fan, was invited by the judge.

:26:31. > :26:34.She met the stars and dancers in the show and went on a tour behind

:26:34. > :26:38.the scenes. Right, let's look at the weather

:26:38. > :26:41.now. John is here. How are you doing?

:26:41. > :26:46.John is here. How are you doing? Very well. Good in parts, the

:26:46. > :26:49.weekend. At time there will be a blow, quite windy. With time the

:26:49. > :26:53.winds will cause a problem up and down the country. It will be

:26:53. > :26:56.disturbed. Here is the picture. Rain clouds looming out west. Some

:26:56. > :26:59.places will turn wet overnight. The skies are clear. The lowest

:26:59. > :27:03.temperatures will be through this evening, down to three or four

:27:03. > :27:07.Celsius. One or two places will see a touch of frost. Then the wind

:27:07. > :27:10.increases, the cloud increases and it turns wet. Notably across

:27:10. > :27:15.western Scotland. Patchy rain for Northern Ireland and northern

:27:15. > :27:19.England. Further south it stays largely dry, albeit turning breezy.

:27:19. > :27:23.The wind is of concern. We have an amber warning in force. With time,

:27:23. > :27:26.it will kaz disruption. We think across northern parts of the

:27:26. > :27:32.country. Very windy and very wet again, particularly for western

:27:32. > :27:36.Scotland. Dribs and drabs elsewhere across the north. Further south, it

:27:36. > :27:44.stays dry, bright and breezy, with reasonable Sunshine over southern

:27:44. > :27:47.and eastern England in particular. A mild one, de-- despite the wind.

:27:47. > :27:51.It is through this evening where we are concerned. The strong winds

:27:51. > :28:00.will not just be over the hill tops they will bounce into north-east

:28:00. > :28:03.England. For example t -- the A1 could be badly affected, from frisk

:28:03. > :28:06.up to Newcastle, into Northumberland. Be aware of that,

:28:06. > :28:12.if you are on the move through tomorrow evening and into the night

:28:12. > :28:16.it will be windy. For a time, very wet. Into Sunday morning the worst

:28:16. > :28:21.of the wind and rain will ease down. Patchy rain reaching the south-east.

:28:21. > :28:25.That will clear through. Sunday is looking good. A dazzling day.

:28:25. > :28:31.Chillier. Some of the showers over the north-west will turn wintry.
