Ahead of the Church of England, the Archbishop of Canterbury, is to

:00:12.:00:16.

step down. He says he hopes the next Archbishop or have the

:00:16.:00:21.

constitution of an ox and the height of a rhinoceros. A potential

:00:21.:00:26.

successor does not seem too keen. Do you fancy his job? You cannot be

:00:26.:00:31.

serious. We will be looking at the challenges ahead for the Anglican

:00:32.:00:37.

Church. Also tonight: The coffins of the school children flown home

comrades. The actor George Clooney is

pulls up. AP McCoy wins on Good evening. The Archbishop of

:01:46.:01:51.

Canterbury, Rowan Williams, is to step down at the end of the year.

:01:51.:01:54.

As the global head of the 80 million-strong Anglican Church he

:01:54.:01:58.

hinted at the strength of the job by saying he hoped his successor

:01:58.:02:03.

would have the constitution of an ox and the hide of a rhinoceros. He

:02:03.:02:06.

has battled with a number of issues that have threatened to split the

:02:06.:02:12.

Church. He will leave his post before another pervasive issue is

:02:12.:02:17.

voted on, the consecration of women bishops. Was his decision a

:02:17.:02:22.

surprise? It was in many ways. When he

:02:22.:02:28.

arrived 10 years ago, he admitted by being daunted by the

:02:28.:02:31.

expectations of the Anglicans placed on him to heal their

:02:31.:02:38.

church's divisions. In the process of keeping the church together he

:02:38.:02:42.

has even become a revered figure in the church and tonight there is

:02:42.:02:50.

widespread shock and dismay at the prospect of losing him. Even as he

:02:50.:02:54.

demanded to be let into Canterbury Cathedral for his enthronement,

:02:54.:02:59.

Rowan Williams was a reluctant leader of the Church. This is why

:02:59.:03:04.

the Christian will engage with passion in the world of our society

:03:04.:03:09.

and politics. He was taking over a church and a worldwide communion

:03:09.:03:14.

that were bitterly divided about homosexuality. A let us create our

:03:14.:03:19.

newly enthroned Archbishop with great gladness. It was an issue

:03:19.:03:24.

which was to overshadow his entire leadership. After again man was

:03:24.:03:29.

ordained as an Anglican bishop in the United States, traditionalists

:03:29.:03:33.

accused Dr Williams of doing too little to stand up for basic

:03:33.:03:38.

Christian teaching. The Archbishop of Canterbury was seen as

:03:38.:03:43.

indecisive to an extent by a number of key leaders in Africa and

:03:43.:03:48.

elsewhere. The very fact he wanted to keep people discussing was seen

:03:48.:03:53.

as him taking sides, siding with those who wanted to innovate,

:03:53.:03:57.

particularly in the area of sexuality. Although the archbishop

:03:57.:04:01.

remained a popular figure, traditionalists in the developing

:04:01.:04:06.

world who see homosexuality as a sane, constructed a powerful

:04:06.:04:09.

alliance, partly aimed at getting the American Church expelled from

:04:09.:04:14.

the Anglican Communion. The worldwide communion threatened to

:04:14.:04:19.

disintegrate, but Dr Williams held it together. I pay tribute to the

:04:19.:04:22.

service he has paid to the country and the church and I single out the

:04:22.:04:28.

work he has done in Africa and Sudan and elsewhere to ensure peace,

:04:28.:04:33.

stability and prosperity. conflicting demands on Dr Williams

:04:33.:04:37.

came to the head at the once a decade meeting of the world's

:04:37.:04:41.

Anglicans at the Lambeth Conference. Last summer he spoke of handed over

:04:41.:04:45.

his burden. I have said I do not want to be the President of the

:04:45.:04:50.

next Lambeth Conference, I have done one and I have done that job

:04:50.:04:55.

for the Church. The next one will be in 2018. Between now and then I

:04:55.:05:01.

will think about it. The ordination of women as bishops could be among

:05:01.:05:07.

Dr Williams' achievements. A crucial vote takes place in July.

:05:07.:05:12.

Who might follow Dr Williams into Lambeth Palace? The Archbishop of

:05:13.:05:17.

York, John Sentamu, was asked whether he was a contender.

:05:17.:05:24.

Do you fancy his job? You cannot be serious. Any successor will take on

:05:24.:05:28.

a church still in grave danger of division. Finding the right person

:05:28.:05:34.

will not be easy. I think it there is a surprise about the timing of

:05:34.:05:39.

his decision is it comes just ahead of this decisive vote on women

:05:39.:05:44.

bishops. He has turned himself into a lame duck Archbishop just when

:05:44.:05:48.

his personal prestige could make a huge difference to the outcome. The

:05:48.:05:54.

Church will feel a little more lonely in discussing those issues.

:05:54.:05:58.

Belgium has held a national day of mourning to remember the victims of

:05:58.:06:04.

Tuesday night's coach crash in Switzerland. 28 people, including

:06:04.:06:09.

22 children, died when their bus hit the wall of a tunnel. It

:06:09.:06:13.

emerged a British boy, 11 year-olds Sebastian Bowles, was among the

:06:13.:06:16.

dead. At 11 o'clock in the morning a

:06:16.:06:23.

minute's silence to remember those who died. At this school in

:06:23.:06:27.

Heverlee, a school where seven children and two adults will not

:06:27.:06:31.

return, children gathered in the playground, many of them too young

:06:31.:06:36.

to understand. Across the country flags were at half mast and in

:06:36.:06:43.

Government buildings, railway stations, even in local factories,

:06:43.:06:47.

people stopped for a moment of contemplation. From another school

:06:47.:06:53.

in Lommel near the Dutch border, 15 people died. All of them were only

:06:53.:07:01.

about 12 years old. There is only silence. If we can hope that the

:07:01.:07:04.

parents and the Grand parents become better after some time, but

:07:04.:07:10.

I think it will last 20 years. Heverlee balloons were released in

:07:10.:07:14.

an act of remembrance. And on the school gates a list of names of

:07:14.:07:19.

those who died, among them Sebastian Bowles, an 11 year-old

:07:19.:07:24.

boy with a British father and a Belgian mother. On a school block a

:07:24.:07:28.

few days ago he wrote about how much he was enjoying his skiing

:07:28.:07:33.

holiday. Today he was remembered fondly at his former school in

:07:33.:07:38.

north London. AA smiley, bubbly boy who looked like an angel and was an

:07:38.:07:44.

angel and it was a delight to have him as part of our school community.

:07:44.:07:49.

Still pipa are looking for answers. Why did the bus crash in

:07:49.:07:52.

Switzerland? So far there is nothing to suggest the driver was

:07:52.:07:57.

suddenly taken ill. The investigation continues. More

:07:57.:08:01.

people will be leaving their own personal tributes and sooner we

:08:01.:08:06.

will have a series of heartbreaking funerals. It is the loss of so many

:08:06.:08:09.

young children who should have their whole lives ahead of them

:08:09.:08:14.

which is making this tragedy so difficult to accept. And now those

:08:14.:08:20.

who died have been brought back home. Coffins emerging from

:08:20.:08:26.

military aircraft, one by one. It is hard for everyone to take. A

:08:26.:08:30.

sombre ceremony as Belgium searchers for some way to bring

:08:30.:08:40.
:08:40.:08:42.

some comfort to the bereaved. The town of Warminster in Wiltshire

:08:42.:08:45.

came to a standstill today as residents paid their respects to

:08:45.:08:49.

the six soldiers killed in Afghanistan last week and saw off

:08:49.:08:54.

their comrades now heading into the war zone. 400 soldiers from the 3rd

:08:54.:08:57.

Battalion the Yorkshire Regiment marched through the town of

:08:57.:09:03.

Warminster. Its motto is fortune favours the

:09:03.:09:07.

brave. Today arrangement with its heart in Yorkshire followed its

:09:07.:09:10.

colours of through the Wiltshire town which has offered so much

:09:10.:09:15.

sympathy and support at a difficult time. Hundreds of people, young and

:09:15.:09:21.

old, joining the Duke of York, the regiment's Colonel in-Chief, to

:09:21.:09:26.

which this Battalion Welsh. house and his ex-forces himself, so

:09:26.:09:29.

I understand how the whole battalion are feeling at this sad

:09:29.:09:34.

time. We are backing them all the way, especially over what has

:09:34.:09:38.

happened in the last few weeks. Because we are a military town and

:09:38.:09:44.

they are all young lads and it is just heartbreaking. News that six

:09:44.:09:47.

comrades had been lost broke as these men took part in their final

:09:47.:09:53.

training. Some have served in Afghanistan before. Every man knows

:09:53.:09:56.

that today's heightened tension will bring increased risks on

:09:56.:10:06.
:10:06.:10:07.

patrol. In Warminster's Parish Church soldiers and civilians have

:10:07.:10:11.

bowed their heads to remember the six members of the company who will

:10:11.:10:15.

be repatriated next week and to pray that other lives will be

:10:15.:10:22.

spared. Whatever we face in the coming months of our tour, let us

:10:22.:10:30.

face our joys, our sadness, our winning, our losing as a team.

:10:30.:10:36.

flames which have been lit here Welburn until they return home. The

:10:36.:10:40.

days before departure will not be easy, but this town has done all it

:10:40.:10:48.

can to help soldiers and their families face the challenges ahead.

:10:48.:10:52.

In Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai has met the families of the

:10:52.:10:57.

16 villagers shot dead by a road US soldier last Sunday. He accused the

:10:57.:11:01.

US authorities of failing to co- operate fully with an investigation

:11:01.:11:05.

into how it happened and he questioned that more than one

:11:05.:11:10.

soldier was involved. Quentin Somerville is in Kabul for us now.

:11:10.:11:14.

These are strong words. How difficult it will this make it for

:11:14.:11:20.

the US and Britain to work together with President Hamid Karzai? Strong

:11:20.:11:24.

words that have come after a series of horrible events, the accidental

:11:24.:11:29.

burning of the Koran by American soldiers, which caused protests,

:11:29.:11:34.

and then those terrible murders in the south of the country. Everyone,

:11:34.:11:38.

it seems, is in agreement that foreign troops need to move back to

:11:38.:11:45.

their bases and eventually return home. Hamid Karzai wants foreign

:11:45.:11:47.

troops out of the villages of Afghanistan and back in those bases,

:11:48.:11:52.

but so too does the British Government. They are saying by the

:11:52.:11:56.

end of next year does combat operations will have ended and

:11:56.:12:03.

Afghans will be doing the fighting. The actor George Clooney has been

:12:03.:12:07.

arrested in Washington. He was taking part in a demonstration at

:12:07.:12:12.

the Sudanese embassy, accusing the country's president of promoting a

:12:12.:12:17.

humanitarian crisis by blocking food aid. Our Washington

:12:17.:12:22.

correspondent has the story. This report contains flash photography.

:12:22.:12:26.

Amid the sort of publicity few can muster, George Clooney taking his

:12:26.:12:31.

case to Washington, standing outside the Sudanese mission with

:12:31.:12:36.

two simple demands. We need humanitarian aid to be allowed into

:12:36.:12:41.

Sudan before it becomes the worst humanitarian crisis in the world.

:12:41.:12:45.

Immediately. The second thing we are here to ask is a very simple

:12:45.:12:50.

thing, for the Government in Khartoum to stop randomly killing

:12:50.:12:54.

its own innocent men, women and children. The film star has spent

:12:54.:12:58.

much of the week in Washington, including an appearance on Capitol

:12:58.:13:03.

Hill, arguing for action to stop Sudanese attacks in the mountains.

:13:03.:13:09.

We found children filled with shrapnel. He is just back from the

:13:09.:13:14.

border region and a secret trip into the affected area. This video,

:13:14.:13:18.

which includes graphic images of civilian injuries, was shown two

:13:18.:13:23.

senators. George Clooney has political cloud and access among

:13:23.:13:30.

the guests at the White House for Wednesday's state banquet in honour

:13:30.:13:35.

of David Cameron. Today's outcome was never in doubt. George Clooney

:13:35.:13:40.

and his father among a dozen activists deliberately defying the

:13:40.:13:45.

police, knowing perfectly well what would follow. After years of

:13:45.:13:51.

activism on Sudan, George Clooney shows no sign of giving up.

:13:51.:13:56.

Our top story tonight: The Archbishop of Canterbury says he is

:13:56.:14:01.

to step out at the end of the year. Coming up, Wales is getting ready

:14:02.:14:07.

for tomorrow's big Grand Slam rugby game, but can the team at the

:14:07.:14:14.

success of the 1970s? And we bring you inside F1 as the

:14:14.:14:24.
:14:24.:14:26.

new Formula One season gets under Racing and at the Cheltenham

:14:26.:14:30.

Festival, Synchronised, ridden by Tony McCoy, has won the Gold Cup.

:14:30.:14:36.

There were high hopes for Kauto Star, which has won the race twice.

:14:36.:14:39.

But his jockey pulled him up before the end of the race and the 12-

:14:39.:14:46.

year-old horse is almost certain to retire. Joe Wilson was watching.

:14:46.:14:51.

There is a sweet agony to watch him at Cheltenham. Even to lovers of

:14:51.:14:56.

course racing, there has been soul- searching this week. The enjoy it

:14:56.:15:00.

but it compose such risks to the animals. It doesn't put me off

:15:00.:15:05.

because it is part of the whole scene. Like with most sport, there

:15:05.:15:09.

is always a risk, but that is why you watch it, because of the

:15:09.:15:14.

excitement. Most come to watch the great Kauto Star, defying the used

:15:14.:15:20.

to battle for his third Gold Cup, but the race was over before

:15:20.:15:25.

halfway. Ruby Walsh decided he was not moving properly and moved him

:15:25.:15:29.

out. This was the reaction from those watching.

:15:29.:15:34.

APPLAUSE. It was reported that Kauto Star was fine. The race was

:15:34.:15:38.

left to the others. Defending champion Long Run strained to

:15:38.:15:43.

retain his title but between the last fence and the finishing line

:15:43.:15:52.

it was Synchronised, guided by AP McCoy, who timed it perfectly. Any

:15:52.:15:57.

victory for Tony McCoy is greeted by a huge warmth at Cheltenham. It

:15:57.:16:00.

is an acknowledgement of this jockey's enormous contribution to

:16:00.:16:07.

the sport. Moments after victory, AP McCoy was four of praise for

:16:07.:16:13.

Ruby Walsh's decision to withdraw Kauto Star -- full of praise.

:16:13.:16:18.

of us want it to happen to any course but especially not one like

:16:18.:16:21.

quarter stop so Ruby Walsh was thinking about it animal more than

:16:21.:16:28.

anybody else -- like Kauto Star. For the image of the sport, AP

:16:28.:16:38.
:16:38.:16:41.

McCoy's was not the only victory. Over the last year, more British

:16:42.:16:46.

people were murdered in Pakistan than any other foreign country.

:16:47.:16:53.

This is often related to family disputes, as our correspondent

:16:53.:16:58.

reports from the Punjab provinces. Pakistan, homeland to around 1

:16:58.:17:03.

million people in the UK. Many invested dreaming of a comfortable

:17:03.:17:08.

future but for this man, it was an aspiration that ultimately cost him

:17:08.:17:14.

his life. From Glasgow he sent back money to support relatives in

:17:14.:17:18.

Pakistan but on a visit here, when he told them that would stop, he

:17:18.:17:23.

was killed. For his wife, that has been impossible to comprehend.

:17:23.:17:30.

am I supposed to think? This is supposed to be my second home. We

:17:30.:17:36.

were planning that when we both retired, that we would maybe buy a

:17:37.:17:41.

house and live permanently here, but everything has changed. Your

:17:41.:17:49.

own relatives are not your own any more. She says she is too

:17:49.:17:53.

frightened to visit her husband's grave, fearing she too could be

:17:53.:17:57.

killed for pursuing a murder case against her nephews. Crimes like

:17:57.:18:02.

this, family disputes over land and money which ended in murder, or not

:18:02.:18:06.

uncommon in Pakistan but British Pakistanis are thought to be

:18:06.:18:09.

targeted in particular because they are the ones perceived to be

:18:09.:18:16.

wealthy. One family thousands of miles away in Oldham knows exactly

:18:16.:18:23.

how that feels. A five-year-old British boy has

:18:23.:18:28.

been kidnapped in Pakistan Bob le Brocq this tour we hit the

:18:28.:18:35.

headlines two years ago. -- in Pakistan... Their story hit the

:18:35.:18:42.

headlines two years ago. By grown men! Today, the little boy appears

:18:42.:18:46.

to be doing well and he was released unharmed, but only after a

:18:46.:18:50.

huge ransom was paid to a criminal gang. The family still can't

:18:50.:18:54.

believe he had had such terrifying ordeal in a country they had been

:18:54.:19:01.

to so often. We used to go every few years but now... It is scary.

:19:01.:19:06.

If I do go over, I have got three children, and they need to go back

:19:06.:19:12.

to their home country to visit. Much as they want to retain their

:19:12.:19:16.

links with Pakistan, many others are deciding it is too dangerous to

:19:16.:19:21.

travel here because of amounting number of cases. The suspected

:19:21.:19:25.

murderers of Hanif have been detained for now, but his wife

:19:25.:19:32.

cannot be at peace. On top of the increasing security risks, there is

:19:32.:19:42.
:19:42.:19:43.

also never any certainty that killers stay behind bars.

:19:43.:19:46.

Many elderly and vulnerable patients who rely on carers who

:19:46.:19:49.

look after them in their homes are being neglected, according to new

:19:49.:19:52.

research from the consumer group Which. An undercover investigation

:19:52.:19:55.

has found that poor home care is widespread and many vulnerable

:19:55.:19:59.

people are left without food and medication for long periods of time.

:19:59.:20:02.

The voucher company Groupon has been given three months to improve

:20:02.:20:05.

the way it operates after an investigation by the Office of Fair

:20:05.:20:07.

Trading found widespread examples of breaches of consumer protection

:20:07.:20:12.

rules. Groupon says it will ensure that prices in its adverts are

:20:12.:20:17.

accurate and that any limitations on availability are made clear.

:20:17.:20:20.

The former head of the UK Border Force Brodie Clark, who stepped

:20:20.:20:22.

down last year over claims that immigration controls had been

:20:22.:20:25.

relaxed without ministerial permission, has reached an out of

:20:25.:20:30.

court settlement with the Home Office. Mr Clark had brought a case

:20:30.:20:33.

for constructive dismissal. In a joint statement, both sides said

:20:33.:20:37.

they had done nothing wrong. Young people out of work for more

:20:37.:20:41.

than a year would be guaranteed a job for six months if Labour were

:20:41.:20:47.

in power, but they would lose their benefits if they refused the offer.

:20:47.:20:50.

That was the promise from the Labour leader Ed Miliband today.

:20:50.:20:55.

The Conservatives said the policy was irresponsible. What more did Ed

:20:55.:21:02.

Miliband have to say? He said this was the initiative

:21:02.:21:05.

that would conquer youth unemployment. His idea was to give

:21:05.:21:09.

a guarantee of a job for at least six months to any young people who

:21:09.:21:15.

had been out of work for more than a year. He put a figure on this of

:21:15.:21:19.

around �600 million and this money, he said, would come from repeating

:21:19.:21:26.

the bank bonus tax. That is the tax which Labour says could raise up to

:21:26.:21:30.

�2 billion, and they also want to use this money to do things like

:21:30.:21:33.

you a boost to the construction industry, to get more affordable

:21:33.:21:39.

homes and to boost the regional growth fund. Labour's deputy leader,

:21:39.:21:44.

Harriet Harman, got herself into trouble when she appeared on the

:21:44.:21:47.

BBC politics programme earlier today and appeared to be unaware of

:21:47.:21:51.

either the cost of the flagship initiative or the amount that the

:21:51.:21:56.

bank bonus tax was due to raise. That is embarrassing for Harriet

:21:56.:22:01.

Harman but it also makes it much more difficult just as Labour are

:22:01.:22:04.

trying to prove their credibility on the economy, and with Ed

:22:04.:22:08.

Miliband saying that this initiative was so important today

:22:08.:22:12.

that it would be in the first line of the future budget of a Labour

:22:12.:22:16.

government. Thank you.

He is a global cricket hero to millions, and now the Indian

:22:19.:22:22.

batsman Sachin Tendulkar has become the first player to score 100

:22:22.:22:26.

centuries in tests and one-day internationals. It came against

:22:26.:22:30.

Bangladesh in the Asia Cup, and it has been a long road since his

:22:30.:22:33.

first century against England more than 20 years ago.

:22:33.:22:38.

It was just one run. But a milestone no cricketer has ever

:22:38.:22:46.

come close to. The moment Sachin Tendulkar hit his 100 century. It

:22:46.:22:52.

has been an agonising wait. More than a year since he hit number 99.

:22:52.:22:57.

Ironically it happened in a match that India lost, but that doesn't

:22:57.:23:02.

matter to 10 corker's millions of fans -- took Tendulkar's millions

:23:02.:23:12.
:23:12.:23:13.

of fans. He was marvellous, fantastic, 100th century!! There it

:23:13.:23:17.

is! The man they called the Little Master showed his talents barely,

:23:17.:23:22.

hitting his first century when he was just 17 against England. Today,

:23:22.:23:29.

among those he been on the praise... Sachin Tendulkar has been the

:23:29.:23:32.

player against which all others have been measured in the last 15

:23:32.:23:38.

years and for him to get 100100s is an amazing achievement and very

:23:38.:23:43.

unlikely to be achieved again. where does temple could stand among

:23:43.:23:48.

the greats? Unquestionably the best batsman ever was Sir Donald Bradman,

:23:48.:23:54.

who averaged an astonishing 99.9 runs. No one has come close to

:23:54.:24:01.

equalling that. Gary Sobers is considered the best all-rounder,

:24:01.:24:11.
:24:11.:24:12.

taking 235 wickets. With his 100 centuries, Tendulkar's record may

:24:12.:24:19.

be unbeatable. Rugby now and Wales will be going

:24:19.:24:25.

for their third Grand Slam in eight years tomorrow. They take on France

:24:25.:24:28.

in the final round of the Six Nations at the Millennium Stadium

:24:28.:24:31.

in Cardiff. Wales are the favourites tomorrow?

:24:31.:24:36.

Yes. Most of the 75,000 people who will pack up the stadium tomorrow

:24:36.:24:41.

will certainly hope so. They will be nervous to see whether the

:24:41.:24:44.

latest crop of players can make history, but the game will also be

:24:44.:24:48.

tinged with sadness after the news that one of the greats of world

:24:48.:24:54.

rugby, Mervyn Davies, has passed away. A player who has tasted on

:24:54.:24:57.

more than one occasion the success of a Grand Slam.

:24:57.:25:02.

If you could bottle anticipation, Cardiff's shopkeepers would make a

:25:02.:25:10.

million. Welsh hopes, flying high. What will Wales do tomorrow? Win!

:25:10.:25:18.

We will score 28 points! Wales have beaten every team put before them

:25:18.:25:23.

in this tournament so far without truly dominating. Some of these

:25:23.:25:28.

places experienced Grand Slam Games in 2005 and 2008 but for the

:25:28.:25:34.

captain, it is the first time. 75,000 people cheering us, it will

:25:34.:25:38.

be a fantastic atmosphere and one that none of us will forget.

:25:38.:25:44.

Massive motivation for us to win the Grand Slam. The last time Wales

:25:44.:25:50.

won three Grand Slams within a decade was in the 1970s. Today, one

:25:50.:25:55.

of that era's greatest players passed away following a battle with

:25:55.:25:58.

cancer. Mervyn Davies will be remembered for his bravery on and

player and if I had to choose an international team throughout the

ages, his name would have gone down first as a number eight. Tomorrow's

:26:15.:26:21.

opponents will not be a pushover. France arrives after defeat last

weekend and keen to spoil the party. It will be hard but I think we are

going to win, France. The but at Sam Warburton's old club, they are

certain Wales will stay on course. The next generation are hungry for

:26:37.:26:43.

that title. Come on, Wales! Wales do not win tomorrow, that

opens the door to England. A big win against Ireland at Twickenham

:26:48.:26:52.

would deliver them the championship, so on the final day of the Six

:26:52.:26:55.

Nations Championship, it is all to play for.

:26:55.:27:05.
:27:05.:27:07.

Some threat of some really heavy showers tomorrow. At the Millennium

:27:07.:27:11.

Stadium, it could be quite wet. For the Scottish game in Italy, it will

:27:11.:27:21.
:27:21.:27:26.

Back to now, we have rain coming over Scotland and Northern Ireland.

:27:26.:27:30.

As the sky is clear across Scotland and Northern Ireland overnight, we

:27:30.:27:35.

could see some frost, but it will stay relatively mild with thick

:27:35.:27:40.

cloud and showers further south. The showers could produce a longer

:27:40.:27:44.

spell of rain tomorrow across more eastern parts of England and the

:27:44.:27:54.
:27:54.:27:55.

Midlands. Some are -- there is some uncertainty about this. For much of

:27:55.:27:59.

Scotland, it is looking find it tomorrow afternoon, although not to

:27:59.:28:06.

warm. For much of England and Wales, a lot of cloud and lively showers

:28:06.:28:10.

across more northern and western areas. Some sunshine in between.

:28:10.:28:15.

For the eastern half of England, it looks pretty cloudy and drought

:28:15.:28:22.

with a threat of persistent rain as we end the day. -- cloudy and damp.

:28:22.:28:29.

Another fairly cloudy and wet day on Sunday for the south and the

:28:29.:28:35.

East. To summarise the weekend, there will be some sunshine but

:28:35.:28:40.

showers as well. It will feel cool and there will be some frost around

:28:40.:28:42.

at night. A reminder of tonight's main news.
