:01:53. > :01:58.help you save a heart attack victim. Good evening.

:01:58. > :02:01.Welcome to the BBC News at 6.00pm. Gary Dobson and David Norris, the

:02:01. > :02:04.two men convicted of murdering Stephen Lawrence, have been told

:02:04. > :02:08.their crime scarred the conscience of the nation. Sentencing the men,

:02:08. > :02:12.the judge said their white gang had acted purely out of racial hatred.

:02:12. > :02:15.Dobson will serve at least 15 years and two months while Norris will be

:02:15. > :02:17.in jail for a minimum of 14 years and three months. Today the

:02:17. > :02:24.Metropolitan Police Comissioner, Bernard Hogan-Howe, warned other

:02:24. > :02:30.members of the gang that they could not rest easy in their beds. Our

:02:30. > :02:33.Home Affairs correspondent Tom Symonds is at the Old Bailey. Tom.

:02:33. > :02:38.Yes, George, plenty of people wanted to see the culmination of

:02:38. > :02:41.this trial. The public gallery was packed. Barristers gave up their

:02:41. > :02:46.seats for extended members of the Lawrence family. The jury came back

:02:46. > :02:50.to watch the results of their verdicts. Now, the sentences are

:02:50. > :02:54.lower than they could have been for legal reasons, but the Lawrences

:02:54. > :02:59.welcomed them nonetheless. Stephen Lawrence's name has never

:02:59. > :03:03.been forgotten. Today finally a penalty was handed down for taking

:03:03. > :03:08.his life. David Norris and Gary Dobson are detained at Her

:03:08. > :03:13.Majesty's pleasure. They won't be released until the late 2020s at

:03:13. > :03:17.the earliest. Hip, hip, hooray! Stephen's mother

:03:17. > :03:24.reached the end of this trial satisfied by what justice had

:03:24. > :03:29.delivered - to a point. And these sentences that happened - it may be

:03:29. > :03:33.quite low, but at the same time, the judge's hands were tied, and

:03:33. > :03:37.for that, as much as he can do, I was very grateful. The court was

:03:37. > :03:41.packed. The convicted men said nothing when the sentences were

:03:41. > :03:45.handed down, though afterwards there was a shout from a supporter

:03:45. > :03:55.in the public gallery, "Shame on all of you." The judge, Mr Justice

:03:55. > :04:14.

:04:14. > :04:18.The pair were juveniles when they murdered Stephen and when police

:04:18. > :04:23.put them under surveillance. Under law they received lower sentences

:04:23. > :04:25.to reflect their ages at the time but several years were added to the

:04:25. > :04:30.totals because of the racist nature of the crime and the public

:04:30. > :04:34.reaction to it. The judge also said he hoped the conviction of Norris,

:04:34. > :04:39.here being interviewed by police, and Dobson would not result in the

:04:39. > :04:44.case file being closed. Outside, Stephen's father said he hoped the

:04:44. > :04:48.pair would now cooperate with police. These people have now

:04:48. > :04:53.realised that they have been found out and is now going to go and lay

:04:53. > :04:57.down in their bed and think that they weren't the only ones who were

:04:57. > :05:01.responsible for the death of my son, and they're going to give up the

:05:01. > :05:04.other rest of the people. The other people involved in the murder of

:05:04. > :05:07.Stephen Lawrence should not rest easily in their beds. We're still

:05:07. > :05:11.investigating this case, and I would just like to take this

:05:11. > :05:15.opportunity - if anybody out there has anymore information or anymore

:05:15. > :05:19.evidence even after all this time, please tell us, and we'll do the

:05:19. > :05:24.rest. Nine people remain of interest to police. They include

:05:24. > :05:28.Luke Knight, Neil Acourt and his brother Jamie. They've never been

:05:28. > :05:34.convicted of violence despite a series of allegations. In 1993 Neil

:05:34. > :05:43.Acourt and David Norris were said to have attacked a youth, he was

:05:43. > :05:49.acquitted, Neil Acourt never charged. This is Darren Giles. In

:05:49. > :05:52.1994 he intervened in a nightclub row Jamie Acourt was having with

:05:52. > :05:56.his friend. Mr Acourt stabbed Darren Giles in the heart. My heart

:05:56. > :06:00.stopped for about 12 minutes. There was no oxygen getting to my brain.

:06:00. > :06:06.I don't remember a thing. I was dead for about 12 minutes,

:06:06. > :06:10.basically. But Jamie Acourt, who has refused to speak to the BBC,

:06:10. > :06:13.was acquitted. A jury decided he'd acted in self-defence. These

:06:13. > :06:16.incidents don't provide any evidence any of the three men

:06:16. > :06:25.killed Stephen Lawrence. They all deny that, and police currently

:06:25. > :06:29.have no information to act on. The Lawrences left court this afternoon

:06:29. > :06:34.to begin their return to normal life, but they do expect to meet

:06:34. > :06:40.detectives again next week. Just to come back to those sentences, 15

:06:40. > :06:44.years and 14 years - if the offence will be committed last year, for

:06:44. > :06:48.example, the sentences could have been as high as 30 years in prison,

:06:48. > :06:52.but there is a basic rule in law that you're sentenced according to

:06:52. > :06:56.the law in place at the time. 1993 there were lesser sentences for

:06:56. > :07:02.this sort of crime, and in particular, these two men had to be

:07:02. > :07:04.treated as juveniles. George? Thank you.

:07:04. > :07:06.Stephen Lawrence's murder, and the failure of the subsequent

:07:06. > :07:09.investigation raised stark questions about race relations in

:07:09. > :07:13.Britain and the treatment of ethnic minorities by the police. Our home

:07:13. > :07:18.editor Mark Easton has been talking to people in South London to find

:07:18. > :07:22.out if attitudes have changed after 18 years.

:07:22. > :07:26.Almost two decades after Stephen Lawrence's racist murder on the

:07:26. > :07:32.London street, how much scope for celebration is there in terms of

:07:32. > :07:37.improved race relations? No-one actually is born racist...

:07:37. > :07:40.The DJs at Respect Radio reflect the self-confidence of their young,

:07:40. > :07:45.largely black audience in South London. Do you think the colour of

:07:45. > :07:50.your skin makes much difference to the way your life goes? I try not

:07:50. > :07:53.to see it like that. I know it probably does, and I have been in

:07:53. > :08:02.situations where I can see in a person's eyes there is a sort of

:08:02. > :08:05.judgment, but I try to see that as more of self-paranoia than anything.

:08:05. > :08:10.Waves of immigration have shaped diverse neighbourhoods in

:08:10. > :08:14.communities which have become used to difference, but where today I

:08:14. > :08:18.found tension, even prejudice just below the surface. I don't think

:08:18. > :08:23.they was guilty. Really? Do you think it was a stitch-up or what?

:08:23. > :08:28.think it was a stitch-up. Why was that? Why do you think that was

:08:28. > :08:33.done, then? I don't know because it's - BLEEP - been done... Using

:08:33. > :08:39.the "N" word in public is rare, open prejudice rarer still. Racism

:08:39. > :08:46.still exists in Britain, but in multicultural communities here in

:08:46. > :08:52.South London, it is subtle, hidden and unacceptable. What does exist

:08:52. > :08:56.is hostility towards new migrants, who are seen as competitors in the

:08:56. > :09:02.battle for increasingly scarce resources. What are our children

:09:02. > :09:07.going to do when they grow up? They can't get a job if we can't. Do you

:09:07. > :09:15.blame black people, brown people? No, I blame the Government. Other

:09:15. > :09:20.countries don't take them, like Australia. Why do we?

:09:20. > :09:26.relationship between police and the black youth have improved. I have

:09:26. > :09:33.been stopped three to four times in one day. For me, it just feels like

:09:33. > :09:36.why is it always me? It feels like I am being targeted. In 1993 the

:09:36. > :09:40.proportion of Met officers to ethnic minorities was 2%. Today

:09:40. > :09:46.it's just under 10%. The local Police Chief told me the force has

:09:46. > :09:51.come a long way. The images of life on Mars and that sort of culture

:09:51. > :09:55.did exist, but not in the way it's portrayed sometimes around racism.

:09:55. > :09:58.It's more about our relationship with how we police the diverse

:09:58. > :10:02.communities in London and how we understand those communities.

:10:02. > :10:07.majority of people I met on souths London's streets thought race

:10:07. > :10:12.relations were pretty good, certainly better than 20 years ago,

:10:12. > :10:15.but no-one argued Stephen Lawrence's death had seen bigotry

:10:15. > :10:18.stopped. More details have emerged about the

:10:18. > :10:21.body of a woman found on the Queen's Sandringham Estate on New

:10:21. > :10:23.Year's day. Police say she is young and white - probably aged between

:10:23. > :10:33.15 and 23 years old. Our correspondent Claire Marshall is

:10:33. > :10:35.

:10:35. > :10:39.outside Sandringham. Claire. George, within the last half hour, police

:10:39. > :10:43.have said they have analysed DNA samples taken from the woman's body

:10:43. > :10:48.on the Royal estate a few hundred metres behind me, and they have not

:10:48. > :10:52.found a match. That body still hasn't been identified, but they do

:10:53. > :11:01.know that she was between 15 and 23 years old, so they do have that

:11:01. > :11:06.information to go on, and they are following some very strong leads.

:11:06. > :11:11.ALisa Dimitrieva has been missing four months. She's 17 from Latvia.

:11:11. > :11:14.Officers are still trying to find out whether it was her body found

:11:14. > :11:19.on New Year's Day here at the Royal estate at Sandringham. They have

:11:19. > :11:24.been carefully searching the area all day. This missing woman is one

:11:24. > :11:29.important line of inquiry. Today the posters are still up where she

:11:29. > :11:35.lived. It's around 30 miles from where the woman's body was found.

:11:35. > :11:38.The town has a large Eastern European immigrant population.

:11:38. > :11:42.Martin is Latvian. What do you know about her as a

:11:42. > :11:48.person? I don't know, just - she was a nice girl, something like

:11:48. > :11:52.that. I don't know. One time, miss - some guy missed her - her father,

:11:52. > :11:56.her mum, theands it. The body was taken away from the Royal estate

:11:56. > :12:05.yesterday for a post-mortem. Police say they will need more time to

:12:05. > :12:10.identify who she is. So they have been very carefully

:12:10. > :12:16.searching this site all day. There have been police helicopters above

:12:16. > :12:19.us earlier. The Queen and Prince Philip are in residence at

:12:19. > :12:29.Sandringham and are being kept up to date with the proceedings of

:12:29. > :12:41.

:12:41. > :12:44.this case. The name of a soldier who died in

:12:44. > :12:46.hospital earlier this week after being injured in Afghanistan 18

:12:46. > :12:49.months ago has been released. Rifleman Sachin Limbu from 1st

:12:49. > :12:51.Battalion, The Royal Gurkha Rifles, was caught in a blast from an

:12:51. > :12:53.improvised explosive device in June 2010.

:12:53. > :12:55.The Independent Police Complaints Commission has launched an

:12:55. > :12:58.investigation into the granting of a firearms license to Michael

:12:58. > :13:01.Atherton - the man who shot dead three women in County Durham,

:13:01. > :13:04.before killing himself. The 42- year-old killed his partner and her

:13:04. > :13:07.sister and niece - in his home in Horden on New Year's Day. Relatives

:13:14. > :13:17.Police officers are being warned to avoid having a drink with

:13:17. > :13:21.journalists and are being told to watch out for reporters flirting

:13:21. > :13:23.with them in order to obtain information. A report into

:13:24. > :13:26.relationships between Scotland yard and the media by Dame Elizabeth

:13:26. > :13:34.Filkin says the close relationship between some members of the police

:13:34. > :13:38.and the media had caused. - serious harm.

:13:38. > :13:41.It's the first indication of how the big high street stores did over

:13:41. > :13:44.the Christmas period. John Lewis said its sales were up nine per

:13:44. > :13:47.cent on the same period in 2010. But Next saw its share price drop

:13:47. > :13:53.after posting disappointing results at its stores. And both companies

:13:53. > :13:56.have warned that the year ahead could be difficult. Our chief

:13:57. > :14:00.economics correspondent Hugh Pym has the details.

:14:00. > :14:04.Seems like awhile ago now - the Christmas season on the High Street

:14:04. > :14:09.followed by the sales starting on Boxing Day. After all that noise

:14:09. > :14:13.and hustle and bustle, we now have some hard figures showing how much

:14:13. > :14:18.went through the tills. First up, John Lewis reporting higher

:14:18. > :14:23.December sales than the same month in 2010. It said trade before

:14:23. > :14:26.Christmas was outstanding, but warned this year would be tougher.

:14:26. > :14:31.The big challenge for 2012 is just planning for the economy that we're

:14:31. > :14:36.going to face. We're not expecting a serious reduction in sales. We

:14:36. > :14:39.think the economy will still grow, but probably only a little above

:14:39. > :14:44.flat sales and just preparing for that getting everything planned

:14:44. > :14:50.around that - that's the challenge. The biggest winner was online trade,

:14:50. > :14:53.up 28% at John Lewis. Internet and online seath sales at Next were up

:14:53. > :15:00.17% in the August to December period compared to the previous

:15:00. > :15:04.year. At the same time Next saw High Street stores saw lower sales,

:15:04. > :15:09.and the performance was disappointing. Shoppers are

:15:09. > :15:13.migrating away from the High Street and buying online. There is the

:15:14. > :15:19.perception of a better value and being able to shop when you want.

:15:19. > :15:22.So here are two of Britain's best- known retailers acknowledging

:15:22. > :15:26.trading conditions right now are not exactly straight forward, so

:15:26. > :15:29.it's hardly surprising elsewhere on the High Street, some smaller

:15:29. > :15:35.competitors are finding life more difficult. There has been a squeeze

:15:35. > :15:40.on consumer budgets because of high inflation, and some retailers have

:15:40. > :15:50.felt the pressure. Take Blacks Leisure. It admits it's had a

:15:50. > :15:54.challenging year and is trying to The underwear retailer said it was

:15:54. > :15:58.ready to call in administrators because of tough trading conditions.

:15:58. > :16:01.Other retailers will come up with their own Christmas stories next

:16:01. > :16:06.week there. Could be cheerful news from some, but not all will have a

:16:06. > :16:09.happy ending. Our top story tonight: The

:16:09. > :16:18.murderers of Stephen Lawrence have been jailed for a minimum of 15

:16:18. > :16:21.years and 14 months. - 15 years and 14 years.

:16:46. > :16:52.former Mormon missionary, and now the Republican frontrunner in the

:16:52. > :16:54.race to challenge Barack Obama for the White House. Mitt Romney won

:16:54. > :16:58.the first big poll of possible Republican candidates last night,

:16:58. > :17:08.in the state of Iowa. But, as Steve Kingstone reports, he did it by

:17:08. > :17:09.

:17:09. > :17:14.only eight votes and the outcome is still far from certain. Get used to

:17:14. > :17:18.this face. A year from now he could be the most powerful person on

:17:18. > :17:21.Earth. Mitt Romney here in a photo finish when he took to the stage

:17:21. > :17:25.for the final votes were still being counted. This is a campaign

:17:25. > :17:28.night where America wince. We're going to change the White House and

:17:28. > :17:33.get America back on track. CHEERING

:17:33. > :17:36.Mitt Romney remains the best funded, the best-organised candidate in

:17:36. > :17:40.this race, the favourite. But this result makes it clear that more

:17:40. > :17:45.Conservative Republicans are looking for an alternative. Game on.

:17:45. > :17:51.CHEERING And that alternative is called Rick

:17:51. > :17:58.Santorum, who came within eights votes of Mitt Romney, with the

:17:58. > :18:04.support of evangelical Christians. For give me his Grace every day,

:18:04. > :18:09.and poor loving me warts and all, I offer thanks to God. Who are the

:18:10. > :18:15.name to watch? There's Mitt Romney, a businessman who governed

:18:35. > :18:40.-- Gingrich. Iowans were voting on values and who can beat Barack

:18:40. > :18:45.Obama. I'm supporting Romney, because I think he's got the best

:18:45. > :18:48.chance to win the general election. I'm supporting Rick Santorum

:18:48. > :18:56.because of his Conservative stance on gay marriage. He doesn't support

:18:56. > :19:00.that. He's pro-life. For some candidates like sixth placed

:19:00. > :19:04.Michele Bachmann Iowa was the last dance. She dropped out today. But

:19:05. > :19:10.others have already moved on to New Hampshire, which votes next Tuesday.

:19:10. > :19:16.There, Mitt Romney has a commanding lead in the polls. Four years ago

:19:16. > :19:19.he fell short of the nomination. Now he's the man to beat.

:19:22. > :19:24.changes aimed at cutting the deficit, according to new research.

:19:25. > :19:29.The Family and Parenting Institute, a charity, says many families will

:19:29. > :19:32.lose over �1,000 a year. But the Government insists it's taking

:19:32. > :19:42."practical steps" to help, such as cutting fuel duty. Chris Buckler

:19:42. > :19:42.

:19:42. > :19:48.reports. The cost of running a household has been rising, from

:19:48. > :19:52.heating to eating. But while prices have been going up, wages simply

:19:52. > :19:55.haven't, and families are feeling the pressure. To eat, to live, to

:19:55. > :20:00.wear clothes, everything nowadays is an expense within itself. They

:20:00. > :20:04.should put the earnings up or the bills down, to make even. Families

:20:04. > :20:08.bringing up children will continue to find it tough. According to

:20:08. > :20:12.today's report, commissioned by the Family and Parenting Institute. In

:20:12. > :20:19.the five years to 2016, they predict the average household

:20:19. > :20:25.income will fall by 0.9, or �215 a year. But there's a difference for

:20:25. > :20:32.the average household with children. Their income is expected to fall by

:20:32. > :20:35.4.2%, or �1,250 a year. Ashley has three children. He's just started

:20:39. > :20:45.He's having to watch the pennies and pounds, not just at work but

:20:45. > :20:52.also at home. When you sit down at home and look at all your bills and

:20:52. > :20:56.you assess it, you ask yourself, "What am I doing? I'm paying

:20:56. > :20:59.constantly bills." It is frustrating, because I can see how

:20:59. > :21:03.it the missus. It is going forward that people are really concerned.

:21:03. > :21:09.For many the outlook could be bleak for the coming years. The report

:21:09. > :21:12.says it is the Government's changes to taxes and benefits which will

:21:12. > :21:16.leave families with children worse off than families without.

:21:16. > :21:20.thing that's surprising and very worrying is the number of children

:21:20. > :21:24.that will be in child poverty going forward. It doesn't make sense

:21:24. > :21:27.economically in the longer term. The Labour Party says the research

:21:27. > :21:31.published today deliver as damning verdict on the coalition's policies

:21:31. > :21:35.for family and children. But the Government insists it is taking

:21:35. > :21:41.practical steps to try to help people in difficult times. Like

:21:41. > :21:44.cutting fuel duty. Freezing council tax, and cutting income tax for

:21:44. > :21:48.many. They also say many poorer families will be protected by

:21:48. > :21:52.welfare changes, which will be phased in from next year. But there

:21:52. > :21:57.is no doubt that some will be left feeling that they do need a little

:21:57. > :21:59.help. Thousands of people in Scotland are

:21:59. > :22:01.facing a second night without power, and there's continuing disruption

:22:01. > :22:04.to rail services following yesterday's storms. Scotland was

:22:04. > :22:07.the hardest hit by heavy rainfall and strong winds, which also

:22:07. > :22:17.affected parts of England and Wales. Our correspondent, Lorna Gordon, is

:22:17. > :22:19.

:22:19. > :22:24.in Glasgow. It was a day when the winds topped 100 miles per hour.

:22:24. > :22:29.Walking was difficult. The roads were dangerous. The bridges visibly

:22:29. > :22:36.swayed. And through the course of the storm power was lost to more

:22:36. > :22:41.than 140 ,000 homes. For this couple in Lanarkshire it meant no

:22:41. > :22:45.heating no, hot water, camping lights and candles for 24 hours.

:22:45. > :22:50.You are switching on the kettle and you get nothing. No electricity. It

:22:51. > :22:56.is really awful. I've been here for 77 years now and this is the

:22:56. > :22:59.longest we've ever been out. Since half past eight yesterday morning.

:22:59. > :23:03.Engineers have been working to restore supplies but it's been

:23:03. > :23:07.difficult Places the damage was much more severe than in previous

:23:07. > :23:11.storms. It is very difficult for us. This has been the worst winds I've

:23:11. > :23:15.ever seen. We have 600 engineers on the patch now working to try and

:23:15. > :23:20.restore supplies to as many customers as possible today. We

:23:20. > :23:25.hope to get the vast majority on but we'll have some on tonight.

:23:25. > :23:29.This storm was deadly. Two people died. Among them a father of three

:23:29. > :23:34.who was killed when his van was crushed bay falling tree in

:23:34. > :23:39.Tunbridge wells in Kent. The damage and destruction spread across the

:23:39. > :23:45.country. In west works heaters were handed out after the winds affected

:23:45. > :23:50.gas supplies. There's a warning reconnecting homes here could take

:23:50. > :23:54.days. There's a chimney pot which had come down by itself. Now the

:23:54. > :23:59.winds have receded a little, it's a chance to count the cost. Like the

:23:59. > :24:03.rest of Scotland a lot of people were on holiday, so people weren't

:24:03. > :24:06.having to get to work. There is obviously a lot of phoning around

:24:06. > :24:11.the organise the insurance. high winds wreak havoc. Blocked

:24:11. > :24:21.roads will soon be cleared, but the damage to homes will take far

:24:21. > :24:25.

:24:25. > :24:28.longer to sort. If you're not trained in first aid,

:24:28. > :24:30.what do you do when someone's had a heart attack? Forget mouth-to-mouth

:24:30. > :24:33.resuscitation, just concentrate on giving chest compressions. That's

:24:33. > :24:36.the new advice from the British Heart Foundation. The organisation

:24:36. > :24:39.says many more people could survive an attack and, as Jane Hughes

:24:39. > :24:45.reports, it's come up with an unusual way of getting its message

:24:45. > :24:51.across. A lot of us don't know the answer. Former footballer Vinnie

:24:51. > :24:58.Jones keeps his advice simple: first off you call 999. Then no

:24:58. > :25:04.kigs. You only kiss your mis - then no kissing. You only kiss your

:25:04. > :25:10.missus on the lips. If feeling is if you are not trained you may not

:25:10. > :25:18.feel willing to do mouth to move. Chest compressions could save lives.

:25:18. > :25:24.Phone 999 and prest hard on the chest. -- hard.

:25:24. > :25:28.Two months ago his heart stopped while he was at work. He only

:25:28. > :25:33.survived because one of his colleagues gave him chest

:25:33. > :25:39.compressions. Thank goodness she was there. She perform sod quickly.

:25:39. > :25:44.She showed extreme courage. It is amazing. Very, very much thank you.

:25:44. > :25:50.He was lucky. An estimated 30,000 people a year have a card yack

:25:50. > :25:53.arrest in public and fewer than one in ten survives. Only about a third

:25:53. > :25:57.getly life-saving resuscitation from a by-stander. It is the

:25:57. > :26:01.difference between life and death, the nature of cardiac arrest is

:26:01. > :26:04.such that it needs very prompt treatment. The community, in terms

:26:04. > :26:10.of lay people, the general public, pressing hard and fast in the

:26:10. > :26:13.centre of the chest when they realise someone's not breathing,

:26:13. > :26:18.with the Ambulance Service coming behind, will give that person the

:26:18. > :26:20.best chance of survival. Traditional first aid training

:26:20. > :26:24.advises alternating chest compressions with mouth to mouth

:26:24. > :26:27.resuscitation and that remains the gold standard. But people who

:26:27. > :26:29.haven't been trained often panic and don't know what to do when

:26:29. > :26:36.someone collapses. The idea of this campaign is to give them the

:26:36. > :26:42.confidence to help. Push hard and fast two time as

:26:42. > :26:46.second, like to the beat of Staying Alive. It is a simple message that

:26:46. > :26:51.really could make the difference between life and death. It ain't as

:26:51. > :26:54.hard as it looks. Let's take a look at the weather

:26:54. > :26:58.Let's take a look at the weather now with Alex Deakin. Not the

:26:58. > :27:03.violent gusts that we had yesterday but the winds remain a key feature

:27:03. > :27:07.of the weather tonight and for much of tomorrow. Tonight the windy

:27:07. > :27:10.weather be accompanied by rain. Winds gusting 50-60 miles per hour,

:27:10. > :27:15.particularly to the east of the Pennines. That could cause issues

:27:15. > :27:20.up the A1M. Later in the night and into the morning across south-west

:27:20. > :27:24.England, gusts of 50-60 miles per hour through the Bristol channel.

:27:24. > :27:29.It's a windy night, a wet night for most of us. Temperatures will fall.

:27:29. > :27:32.Most of let us stay above zero. The showers you turning wintry in

:27:33. > :27:36.northern Scotland. Showers in the morning. Another windy day. Gusts

:27:36. > :27:43.in Northern Ireland, south-west Scotland and the East Coast of 50 -

:27:43. > :27:46.60 miles per hour. Through the day the showers start to fade. For most

:27:46. > :27:52.places it does cheer up and there'll be winter sunshine.

:27:53. > :27:57.Showers in northern Scotland. Some will drift down the West Coast of

:27:57. > :28:00.Scotland into Northern Ireland. For much of northern England and Wales

:28:00. > :28:04.it will become dry by the afternoon, with sunshine. A scattering of

:28:04. > :28:07.showers to dodge across East Anglia and the South East. Not many in the

:28:07. > :28:10.south-west corner. With sunshine here, temperatures reaching 10

:28:10. > :28:14.degrees, but it is going to feel chilly because of wind. The winds

:28:14. > :28:19.die down and the temperatures drop on Thursday night. A cold start to

:28:19. > :28:22.Friday. A dry and bright day in eastern areas. But in the west it

:28:22. > :28:25.will cloud over, with rain in western Scotland and Northern

:28:25. > :28:29.Ireland. The weather is calming down a touch.

:28:29. > :28:33.Breezy on Saturday. Scattered showers in northern Scotland but a

:28:33. > :28:37.better chance of sunshine. That's the theme into the weekend activity

:28:37. > :28:42.winds are not as strong. Most of let us get a bit of sunshine. The
