:01:07. > :01:08.
:01:08. > :01:12.talks of her anguish. This is just unbearable, unbelievable. And, most
:01:12. > :01:15.of all, destructive - so destructive. Police in France
:01:15. > :01:23.reveal one gun was used to murder the British family in France,
:01:23. > :01:28.suggesting a single killer was responsible. Fans watch Andy Murray
:01:28. > :01:34.prepare for tonight's US Grand Slam final. After his Olympic success,
:01:34. > :01:38.is this his moment? Later, we will have the sport on the BBC News
:01:38. > :01:48.channel with all the latest reports, results and interviews from the BBC
:01:48. > :01:58.
:01:58. > :02:02.Good evening. Welcome to the BBC News at Six. Hundreds of thousands
:02:02. > :02:04.of people have lined the streets of London to celebrate the success of
:02:04. > :02:07.Britain's athletes at the Olympics and Paralympics. Cheering crowds
:02:07. > :02:11.waved to 800 athletes on over 20 floats, as they inched their way
:02:11. > :02:13.from St Paul's Cathedral to Buckingham Palace. Britain's most
:02:13. > :02:16.successful ever Olympian, cyclist Chris Hoy, echoed the words of many
:02:16. > :02:26.of his fellow athletes when he paid tribute to everyone who'd been
:02:26. > :02:27.
:02:27. > :02:32.involved in the Games. David Bond was watching the parade. Setting
:02:32. > :02:37.off on one last lap of honour. Over the last six weeks, the country has
:02:37. > :02:40.been captivated by a summer of spellbinding sport. Today,
:02:40. > :02:47.thousands and thousands of people lined the streets of London to pay
:02:47. > :02:54.a final enthusiastic tribute to the British athletes who made it all so
:02:55. > :02:58.special. Look at this! The British people are so supportive. They are
:02:58. > :03:06.fantastic. No one expected the British public to embrace the
:03:06. > :03:10.Olympic Games and the Paralympic Games like they have. I tried so
:03:10. > :03:15.hard not to be distracted, remain focused and concentrate on my
:03:15. > :03:22.training. That is what I did. I knew if I did that I would be in
:03:22. > :03:27.the best position possible. It is the most amazing feeling. I did it.
:03:27. > :03:33.I am enjoying every minute. athletes stepped up. Everything
:03:33. > :03:37.stepped up a level. For the Paralympians to have this immense
:03:37. > :03:42.crowd and amazing venues and incredible volunteers, backed up by
:03:42. > :03:46.our amazing team, we could not have asked for more. With the
:03:46. > :03:51.Paralympics finishing last night, we were all supposed to get back to
:03:51. > :03:57.normal. As the parade wound its way from the City to Trafalgar Square,
:03:57. > :04:01.it was clear the British public did not want any of this to come to an
:04:01. > :04:06.end. Four years ago, I thought we saw the greatest ever welcome for
:04:06. > :04:10.an Olympic team and a Paralympic team but this tops it by a long
:04:10. > :04:16.shot. People are hanging out of windows and climbing lamp-posts. It
:04:16. > :04:23.is incredible. It is our chance to thank the public. There has not
:04:23. > :04:27.sunk in yet. I need to go back home and spend some time with my family.
:04:27. > :04:32.I just watch my races back and look back over what I have done and what
:04:32. > :04:38.I have achieved. This has been a sporting summer like no other,
:04:38. > :04:43.thanks mainly to the huge success of first Briton's Paralympians and
:04:43. > :04:48.then the country's Paralympians. The challenge is to use all this
:04:48. > :04:54.was something far more lasting. Today was all about celebrating the
:04:54. > :05:00.great British gold rush and saying thank you. The Mall reserve for the
:05:00. > :05:04.volunteers, police and armed forces, who ensured the Games went so
:05:04. > :05:09.smoothly. This summer has created so many heroes come up or those
:05:09. > :05:19.some stand out more than others. As the 700 strong team reached
:05:19. > :05:19.
:05:19. > :05:24.Buckingham Palace, there was one final fly-past to honour their
:05:24. > :05:30.achievements. To our athletes. And I do mean all the athletes,
:05:30. > :05:35.everybody. Not just those who have won medals - all of them. You are
:05:35. > :05:40.now all Olympians and Paralympians. You set the tone for the future.
:05:40. > :05:45.Thank you. Many of these remarkable athletes will go on and win more
:05:45. > :05:52.medals for Great Britain in Rio in 2016. Whatever they do next, they
:05:52. > :05:55.were never forget what has happened here in 2012. -- they will never
:05:55. > :05:58.forget. The sense of excitement was palpable as huge crowds, numbering
:05:58. > :06:00.hundreds of thousands, lined the streets of London to cheer on their
:06:00. > :06:06.sporting heroes, including 9,000 Gamesmakers, given pride of place
:06:06. > :06:12.along the Mall. Robert Hall spent the day meeting just a few of them.
:06:12. > :06:17.Dan left his job on a golf course to become a games maker. Today, he,
:06:17. > :06:22.and the friends he made, joined the river of humanity flooding into
:06:22. > :06:26.central London. No longer on duty and able to reflect on their
:06:27. > :06:31.experiences. It is fantastic. It is sad to be at the end of the journey.
:06:31. > :06:36.Great memories. Everyone can get together, whoever they are. It was
:06:36. > :06:40.really good. It has been fabulous been here every day be so many
:06:40. > :06:44.people having the time of their lives. Along the parade route,
:06:45. > :06:49.early arrivals had staked their positions. Some had a short bus
:06:49. > :06:53.ride, others along rail journey. All drawn together by a compulsion
:06:53. > :06:57.to celebrate sporting achievement. It is the greatest thing that has
:06:57. > :07:02.ever happened in Great Britain for May. It has been good for the
:07:02. > :07:09.children. She is already saying, when I went and got Murdoch. It has
:07:09. > :07:13.lifted everyone's spirits, hasn't it? -- when I win a gold medal.
:07:13. > :07:20.When the moment arrived, at the Olympic roar echoed from Mansion
:07:20. > :07:25.House to Buckingham Palace. I think it is inspirational. During a
:07:25. > :07:33.recession, we need the feel-good factor and we have got it. So many
:07:33. > :07:37.people come at so many individual memories. -- so many people, so
:07:37. > :07:44.many individual memories. The final act was played out at the Olympic
:07:44. > :07:49.Stadium last night. No one here wanted to miss the curtain call.
:07:49. > :07:54.is just amazing. I am a social worker for children with
:07:54. > :08:02.disabilities. It is Sir and spying for them for the future. I am
:08:02. > :08:09.staggered, cry my eyes have. As an autumnal breeze whipped across
:08:09. > :08:16.Trafalgar Square, the party was over. Even under grey skies, the
:08:16. > :08:22.Olympic spirit lingers and lives have been changed. The Prime
:08:22. > :08:26.Minister, David Cameron, joins us from the QE2 Centre. It has been a
:08:26. > :08:30.summer of sporting success, hasn't it? Thoughts are turning to
:08:30. > :08:36.building on that. What are you doing to ensure more children are
:08:36. > :08:41.getting involved in sport? One of the most important things is to
:08:41. > :08:45.take the spirit of this Games and take that into every school, every
:08:45. > :08:48.sports club across the country. I have been in a speech to our
:08:48. > :08:52.brilliant Olympians and Paralympians and asked them to help
:08:52. > :08:55.me to do that. They can change people's lives along with all the
:08:55. > :09:00.things that the Government can do in terms of spending money and
:09:00. > :09:04.making sure there is proper sport in schools, which we will. It has
:09:04. > :09:12.been an enormously positive shop window for Britain to present
:09:12. > :09:16.ourselves to the world and make the best of everything we have got.
:09:16. > :09:20.head of the British Olympic Association has called for a step
:09:20. > :09:27.change in government policy, for Morse funding for sports in schools
:09:27. > :09:31.and facilities for local sports clubs. -- more funding. We are
:09:31. > :09:37.spending �1 billion over the next period on use sport. If money and
:09:37. > :09:43.targets were enough to deliver what we want, we would have done it by
:09:43. > :09:47.now. A changing culture is needed. One of the inspiring things is
:09:47. > :09:52.people can see success comes from hard work and team work, picking
:09:52. > :09:58.yourself up, having another go if it does not work out. We need that
:09:58. > :10:03.competitive spirit in our schools. People talk about legacy. I also
:10:03. > :10:07.talk about momentum. We should use momentum from the Olympic Games and
:10:07. > :10:13.the Paralympic Games to build the momentum. More sport in schools, a
:10:13. > :10:17.more positive attitude to disability, more investment in our
:10:17. > :10:22.economy. A great message to the world about how great this country
:10:22. > :10:27.is. A key message was inspired a generation. If we were to ask you
:10:28. > :10:35.have the next election, are more children involved in sport now than
:10:35. > :10:40.when we won the 2012 it, would you say, yes? We must not do that by
:10:40. > :10:46.saying, let's set the target and not care what the activity is. We
:10:46. > :10:51.need to see more children involved in competitive sport. I want sports
:10:51. > :10:56.clubs linking up with the schools. That will help them to deliver more
:10:56. > :11:01.sport. I had two children at the state school in London. They want
:11:01. > :11:06.to take part in more competitive sport. What I want for my children,
:11:06. > :11:12.I want for every child in this country. It is about facilities,
:11:12. > :11:17.yes. It is about money, yes. It is about the curriculum. It also needs
:11:17. > :11:22.a culture where the clubs want to get involved and teachers say they
:11:22. > :11:29.want to do more. Where parents get involved. That will be the key to
:11:29. > :11:32.transforming experience for our young people and children in
:11:32. > :11:35.Britain. And, later, we'll hear from gold medal long jump winner
:11:35. > :11:38.Greg Rutherford on what the Games meant for him. Today's other news
:11:38. > :11:41.now and a fourth teenager has been arrested on suspicion of murder
:11:41. > :11:43.after the death of a 17-year-old A- level student at a house party,
:11:44. > :11:46.which had been advertised on Facebook. Three people were
:11:46. > :11:49.arrested yesterday and are being questioned by police. Jay Whiston,
:11:49. > :11:52.an A-level student from Essex, was stabbed on Saturday night, during a
:11:52. > :12:01.gathering of more than 100 teenagers. It is thought some
:12:01. > :12:06.people may have turned up uninvited. Jeremy Cooke is in Colchester now.
:12:06. > :12:12.Jay Whiston, 17 years old, but bright, popular, A level student,
:12:12. > :12:17.with ambitions to become a lawyer. Stabbed to death at the Saturday
:12:17. > :12:24.night party. It happened at this unremarkable family home, in a
:12:24. > :12:28.normal, suburban neighbourhood. 64 miles away it is a crime scene, a
:12:29. > :12:34.focus of a murder investigation. There were frantic efforts to save
:12:34. > :12:40.him as his teenage friends looked on. His injuries put him beyond
:12:40. > :12:44.help. It was supposed to have been a fun night. Party details were
:12:44. > :12:50.posted on Facebook. Today, social media sides have taken on a wholly
:12:50. > :12:56.different tone, remembering a young man, whose life was cut short. One
:12:56. > :13:03.theory was that he died trying to protect his friends. He was
:13:03. > :13:11.protective of everybody. He protected us, his nans, his grandad.
:13:11. > :13:19.He was fair. He loved fairness. He was a genuinely - according to his
:13:19. > :13:25.friends - he was a funny guy but he was grumpy. He was 17. You know
:13:25. > :13:30.what they are like. At his college, there is also grief. Some of his
:13:30. > :13:34.friends were with him on Saturday night. The entire student body is
:13:34. > :13:39.in shock. The sort of student you would want in your school. The sort
:13:39. > :13:45.of young man who would not have invited, or looked for, this sort
:13:45. > :13:50.of thing to happen. He was a good friend to his friends. He was witty,
:13:51. > :13:56.he was funny. That makes it all the more shocking. And so today, a
:13:56. > :14:05.steady stream of those wanting, needing to pay their respects, and
:14:05. > :14:10.the family in agony. This is just unbearable, unbelievable, and most
:14:10. > :14:14.of all, destructive - so destructive. Police investigations
:14:14. > :14:19.are continuing with detectives stressing that every one of the
:14:19. > :14:27.young people who attended the party is the key witness. All of them are
:14:27. > :14:31.being urged to come forward. A man has been charged with the
:14:31. > :14:35.manslaughter of a two-year-old boy who died in an explosion at a house
:14:35. > :14:40.in Oldham in June. Andrew Partington is also charged with
:14:40. > :14:43.causing criminal damage of more than �1 million. Teachers said they
:14:43. > :14:52.would take a alternated industrial action from the end of this month
:14:52. > :15:02.in schools in England and Wales. The TUC voted to support an action
:15:02. > :15:03.
:15:04. > :15:09.Is Briton facing an upsurge in protests and strikes? Teachers will
:15:09. > :15:13.launch action next week. Next month, the TUC is planning a huge
:15:13. > :15:18.demonstration. Today in Brighton, union leaders lined up to say this
:15:18. > :15:22.was only the start. The way to really shocked the government is to
:15:22. > :15:25.follow up the demonstration on October 20th as quickly as we can
:15:25. > :15:30.with mass, co-ordinated strike action across the public and
:15:30. > :15:35.private sector to show them that we are serious. Unions say millions of
:15:35. > :15:39.workers are facing a pay freeze and falling living standards. In his
:15:39. > :15:43.last speech to Congress as general secretary, Brendan Barber warned of
:15:43. > :15:48.the economy would suffer years of stagnation because of the
:15:48. > :15:52.government's policies. It is time for change. The government's
:15:52. > :15:58.strategy is failing Britain. The economy is on its knees. Services
:15:58. > :16:02.are being devastated. So, a standing ovation for Brendan Barber,
:16:02. > :16:07.recognition that over the past decade, he has managed to hold this
:16:07. > :16:12.movement together, while being the moderate face of trade unionism.
:16:12. > :16:17.And this will be the new face at the top. In the new year, Frances
:16:17. > :16:21.O'Grady will become the first woman to become the TUC's general
:16:21. > :16:26.secretary in its history. The 52- year-old single mum has been a
:16:26. > :16:32.courier trade unionist. She is regarded as an affectionate -- an
:16:32. > :16:35.effective negotiator or. What will she bring to the job? I think I
:16:35. > :16:38.understand what it is to be a working mother in this country and
:16:38. > :16:43.the support you need and I will be standing up for working families to
:16:43. > :16:48.get a fair deal. But one of her first jobs could be to help co-
:16:48. > :16:53.ordinate strikes. Today, the government condemned the threat of
:16:53. > :16:58.more industrial action. Is a very irresponsible call by some of the
:16:58. > :17:02.unions and I believe the majority of union members, dedicated public
:17:02. > :17:09.servants will reject it. But the momentum for action is building.
:17:09. > :17:13.May believe it is not a question of if, but when.
:17:13. > :17:19.Our top story tonight: Hundreds of thousands have lined the streets to
:17:19. > :17:22.cheer the athletes of London 2012. Coming up: We will be following one
:17:22. > :17:25.of Britain's gold medallists as he made that journey through the
:17:25. > :17:29.crowds. Later in business on the News
:17:29. > :17:33.Channel, Sir Richard Branson tells MPs they should be a total overhaul
:17:34. > :17:43.of the rules surrounding rail franchises. While JJB Sports cannot
:17:43. > :17:46.find a buyer even though Britain has gone sports-mad.
:17:46. > :17:50.Police in France have revealed that a single semi-automatic weapon was
:17:50. > :17:54.used to kill the British family shot dead in the Alps last week,
:17:54. > :17:58.suggesting a single gunman was responsible for their murders.
:17:59. > :18:04.Earlier today, army bomb disposal experts searched the family's home
:18:04. > :18:08.in Surrey but no dangerous material was found. Saad al-Hili, his wife
:18:08. > :18:12.Iqbal and her mother were murdered in Annecy.
:18:12. > :18:16.For a third day, searches have continued at the house. An
:18:16. > :18:22.investigation in Surrey but still led by French authorities. This
:18:22. > :18:28.morning, a brief but dramatic turn of events. We need you to move
:18:28. > :18:32.further up the road. The media were ushered back as a police cordoned
:18:32. > :18:36.was widened to a radius of 100 metres around the house. And then
:18:36. > :18:40.the arrival of a bomb disposal team from the Royal Logistics Corps as
:18:40. > :18:47.residents looked on. They parked outside my house when they first
:18:47. > :18:51.arrived and I thought, what does that say? Bomb-disposal. Surrey
:18:51. > :18:56.Police said the team had been brought in because of concerns
:18:56. > :19:00.about items found when the search was extended from the main house to
:19:00. > :19:04.outbuildings in the garden. As a precaution, a small number of
:19:04. > :19:07.people inside the cordon, including a builder working on the
:19:07. > :19:13.neighbouring property, it was asked to leave. The police knocked on the
:19:13. > :19:18.door and said we have got to evacuate. But the search turned up
:19:18. > :19:23.items which the police describe as non-hazardous. The cordon was
:19:23. > :19:26.removed and residents were allowed back. There is no indication about
:19:26. > :19:30.whether the investigation he is helping to move the inquiry on or
:19:30. > :19:35.whether it is yielding new lines of inquiry but Surrey Police say the
:19:35. > :19:39.work here is expected to continue. For in France, the French
:19:39. > :19:44.prosecutor has confirmed that a single weapon was used to kill Saad
:19:44. > :19:49.al-Hili, his wife, Iqbal, her mother and a French cyclist. Police
:19:49. > :19:54.are waiting to speak to Zainab al- Hilli who has been brought out of a
:19:54. > :19:58.medically induced coma. There has been more police activity at the
:19:59. > :20:02.family home today and a large tent has been put up in the garden.
:20:02. > :20:07.Police say it is to protect evidence which has been gathered
:20:07. > :20:11.from the outbuildings. The Welsh government has called for
:20:11. > :20:15.this year's GCSE English language papers to be regraded. It follows a
:20:15. > :20:20.row about students being awarded lower grade than expected when
:20:20. > :20:23.results were published in August. The decision in Wales differs to
:20:23. > :20:27.that of England where ministers have refused to intervene.
:20:27. > :20:34.Andy Murray will attempt to win his first Grand Slam title this evening
:20:34. > :20:38.when he takes on defending champion Novak Djokovic in the US Open.
:20:38. > :20:44.After his recent triumph at the Olympics, many hope tonight will be
:20:44. > :20:49.Andy Murray's night. Four times before, he has been this
:20:49. > :20:55.close. Four times he has been left distraught. Grand Slam finals have
:20:55. > :21:01.brought only heartache to Andy Murray. So near, yet so far. But
:21:01. > :21:06.here in New York, the Murray Band Wagon has gathered pace. He already
:21:06. > :21:10.has a fan club but can the eternal contender finally become the
:21:10. > :21:15.champion? I know will be difficult match. Regardless of whether I play
:21:15. > :21:23.well or not, I have had a really good summer, the best of my career
:21:23. > :21:28.for sure and I hope I can play well in the final.
:21:28. > :21:32.There is certainly a fresh confidence and toughness about Andy
:21:32. > :21:37.Murray, buoyed by a Wimbledon final and of course, that Olympic gold
:21:37. > :21:41.medal. Fans hear from both sides of the Atlantic are backing him.
:21:41. > :21:46.fitter than ever, he is looking mentally stronger than ever. No VAT
:21:46. > :21:50.has been playing really well but my heart is going to go out for the
:21:50. > :21:54.Queen this year and I hope he can take it back home -- Novak Djokovic
:21:54. > :21:58.has been playing well. If here they have an honours board listing all
:21:59. > :22:04.the champions including the last time a British man won a Grand Slam
:22:04. > :22:08.singles title, Fred Perry way back in 1936 so can Andy Murray and the
:22:09. > :22:12.years of waiting? He will have to do it the hard way against the
:22:12. > :22:16.defending champion Novak Djokovic but even he agrees that Andy Murray
:22:16. > :22:20.has never looked better. He is one of the most complete players in the
:22:20. > :22:26.world right now. In the last couple of years he was at the top of the
:22:26. > :22:30.men's game. This is his 5th Grand Slam final. We all know he is
:22:30. > :22:35.definitely a competitor to win a grand-slam title. Whisper it then,
:22:35. > :22:39.but this might be Andy Murray's best chance yet of that elusive
:22:39. > :22:43.grand-slam. As they prepare here for a Night to Remember, Murray
:22:43. > :22:48.will be hoping it is finally his term to celebrate.
:22:48. > :22:52.Back to our main story today and the London 2012 parade. Many of
:22:52. > :22:56.Britain's medallists have spoken about the role of the crowd in
:22:56. > :23:00.helping them achieve their success and how today was their chance to
:23:00. > :23:07.say thank you. Our correspondent James Pearce has joined one of the
:23:07. > :23:10.medalists, long jumper goal -- Greg Rutherford today.
:23:10. > :23:15.Preparing his GB Kit one more time and one special possession, Greg
:23:15. > :23:17.Rutherford was ready to leave for the parade. It will be great to see
:23:17. > :23:24.everybody back together and I cannot wait to see how many people
:23:24. > :23:28.get on to the streets. A long jump competition which has changed Greg
:23:28. > :23:36.Rutherford's life, the first Briton to win the event at the Olympics
:23:36. > :23:46.since 1964. On arrival at the start of the parade, it was slow progress.
:23:46. > :23:50.
:23:50. > :23:55.Everybody wanted an autograph. But The crowds continued to grow as the
:23:55. > :24:00.parade began, Rutherford's eyes were beginning to moisten. It is
:24:00. > :24:05.just every emotion. You are happy, getting a bit tearful, everything
:24:05. > :24:10.is flooding back again. It is like at the Olympic Park when the crowd
:24:10. > :24:16.goes mad when they know you have won and you know you have won. That
:24:16. > :24:21.is what makes it special for me. These amazing crowds. It is quite
:24:21. > :24:25.tear-jerking, it is fantastic. It is so, so nice. Greg Rutherford
:24:25. > :24:30.went into London 2012 not quite knowing what to expect. The line
:24:30. > :24:34.between success and failure can be so small but here is the proof that
:24:34. > :24:44.all of the years of training have worked well and everything has come
:24:44. > :24:45.
:24:45. > :24:49.Many of those lining the route belong to the generation which
:24:49. > :24:53.these games were designed to inspire. I guess the challenge now
:24:54. > :24:58.is to keep this. How do we bottle this and keep the momentum going?
:24:59. > :25:04.think a lot of it comes down to us athletes. We have to get involved
:25:04. > :25:09.and encourage the children and be good role models. All those
:25:09. > :25:14.watching the parade now have a new generation of sporting heroes, of
:25:14. > :25:17.role models. Greg Rutherford is one of them. He and so many of his
:25:17. > :25:22.team-mates I genuinely excited about the responsibility that that
:25:22. > :25:27.brings. Along with Greg Rutherford, the
:25:27. > :25:30.Prime Minister talked to us earlier about the legacy of British sport
:25:30. > :25:34.post London 2012. Our sports editor David Bond is outside Buckingham
:25:34. > :25:39.Palace where the parade ended. What is your assessment about where
:25:39. > :25:44.sport goes from here? In terms of elite sport, it is looking pretty
:25:44. > :25:49.good. David Cameron came out and said a shortfall in funding in the
:25:49. > :25:54.run-up to the Rio Games in 2016 would be plugged. But I think there
:25:54. > :25:57.are serious concerns about sports participation at the grassroots
:25:57. > :26:03.level and I think there are serious concerns about what's happening in
:26:03. > :26:07.schools. It is interesting listening to your interview with
:26:07. > :26:11.David Cameron, talking about needing to change the culture and
:26:11. > :26:15.build on the Olympic spirit but he did not spell out how he and the
:26:15. > :26:22.coalition government would achieve that. Critics say the cut which the
:26:22. > :26:26.coalition made to sports -- school sports in 2010 has already had a
:26:26. > :26:31.seriously negative impact. I think looking at London 2012, at the
:26:31. > :26:34.incredible summer of sport we have had, it has exceeded all
:26:34. > :26:39.expectations and presented a bigger legacy opportunity than many people
:26:39. > :26:43.might have expected. I think for many people the fear is that that
:26:43. > :26:53.opportunity could be missed. Next take a look at the weather now
:26:53. > :26:55.
:26:55. > :27:00.Cloudy skies, not as hot as the weekend. If we take a look at the
:27:00. > :27:04.satellite picture from today, there were one or two breaks in the
:27:04. > :27:09.south-east. Further north the cloud was much thicker and here we had
:27:09. > :27:14.some rain. The rain has moved its way south-eastwards. Some rain
:27:14. > :27:19.through the night tonight, some showers following on behind that.
:27:19. > :27:24.In Scotland and Northern Ireland, temperatures in single figures. For
:27:24. > :27:29.tomorrow, it is fresher for all of us. Weather Wise there is a mixture
:27:29. > :27:32.of sunshine and showers. First thing in the morning there will be
:27:32. > :27:37.showers in the Midlands and North of England. There may be some hail
:27:37. > :27:41.and thunder mixed in. Brighter skies in the south-west corner. A
:27:41. > :27:46.scattering of showers elsewhere. In the afternoon we will see most of
:27:46. > :27:53.the cloud and showers to the north and west. Dryer down towards
:27:53. > :27:57.Edinburgh, the borders and Lothian. Bright spells and a scattering of
:27:57. > :28:03.showers for Northern Ireland. By the afternoon, the showers well
:28:03. > :28:08.scattered to the north and east of England and Wales. Further south
:28:08. > :28:11.and west, a better chance of seeing some dry, bright weather with some
:28:12. > :28:17.sunshine for Devon and Cornwall to finish off the day. The crowd
:28:17. > :28:22.returns through the day on Wednesday. A breezy day on Tuesday.
:28:22. > :28:26.Temperatures in London 18 degrees. Some patchy, light rain and a
:28:26. > :28:29.scattering of showers. The wind will strengthen on Thursday,
