On a visit to Washington, David Cameron gets President Obama's | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
support as he dismisses his EU critics. I want to see the European | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
Union change. I want to see Britain's relationship with the | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
European Union change and improve. It will be a false choice between | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
the status quo and leaving. I don't think that is the choice the British | :00:30. | :00:38. | |
public want. You probably want to see if you can fix what's broken in | :00:38. | :00:45. | |
a very important relationship before you break it off. Also tonight: The | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
murder of 12-year-old Tia Sharp. Her grandmother's partner finally admits | :00:48. | :00:53. | |
he killed her. Spotted on CCTV, Stuart Hazell was with Tia when she | :00:53. | :00:58. | |
was last seen alive. The former Cabinet Minister Chris | :00:58. | :01:08. | |

News at Six. David Cameron has accused senior Conservatives who | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
have called for Britain to leave the EU now of throwing in the towel. On | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
a visit to Washington for talks with President Obama, the Prime Minister | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
ruled out holding an in-out referendum on Britain's EU | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
membership until after the next election. President Obama gave him | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
his support telling Britain, "You probably want to see if you can fix | :02:11. | :02:18. | |
what's broken in a relationship before you break it off." | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
David Cameron swept into the White House on the latest stop of his | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
diplomatic World Tour. His aim? To talk to President Obama about | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
possible Syrian peace talks and the G8 Summit in Northern Ireland. Here, | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
he couldn't avoid talking about Europe. The contrast with his party | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
at home could not be starker. Whilst some Tories were talking of leaving | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
the EU, the Prime Minister was banging the drum for a trade deal | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
between the EU and the US, potentially the world's largest Free | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
Trade Area that he said could mean �10 billion a year for Britain's | :02:50. | :02:58. | |
economy. For the next five weeks, they are crucial. To realise the | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
benefits this deal could bring will take political will. | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
REPORTER: You are talking about a new EU-US trade deal? Yet, members | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
of your party are talking about leaving the EU. What is your message | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
to them? There is a very good reason why there is not going to be a | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
referendum tomorrow. It will give the British public the false choice | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
between the status quo, which I don't think is acceptable. I want to | :03:22. | :03:28. | |
see the EU change. I want to see Britain's relationship with the | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
European Union change and improve. It would be a false choice. I don't | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
think that is the choice the British public want or the British public | :03:35. | :03:41. | |
deserve. Was America worried about all this talk of leaving? The people | :03:41. | :03:50. | |
of the UK have to make decisions for themselves. I will say this. Dave's | :03:50. | :03:56. | |
basic point - you probably want to see if you can fix what's broken in | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
a very important relationship before you break it off. That makes some | :04:00. | :04:06. | |
sense to me. These talks discussed Syria, too. The Prime Minister said | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
there was an urgent window of opportunity to get both sides around | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
the negotiating table. He also promised to double the amount of | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
non-lethal aid that Britain gives to the opposition. Another �10 million | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
and more armoured vehicles and body armour. Mr Cameron came here to the | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
FBI's headquarters to pick the brains of America's security chiefs | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
about how they respond to terrorism and incidents like the Boston | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
bombings. This operation centre is open around-the-clock, it holds 400 | :04:38. | :04:44. | |
staff and more than 1,000 telephone lines. Thank you very much.David | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
Cameron leaves for Boston, then he is off to New York and the United | :04:48. | :04:54. | |
Nations. Europe looks set to dog him every step of the way. James Landale | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
is outside the White House now. Let's talk about the EU. How much | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
difference will President Obama's support make to the Prime Minister? | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
Well, if the leader of the free world supports you in anything, that | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
is not to be sniffed at. President Obama made clear he supported David | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
Cameron's strategy of trying to renegotiate Britain's relationship | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
with tesmt U. It will strengthen the Prime Minister's negotiating hand. | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
It shows that the special relationship is in fine fettle, that | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
President Obama is prepared to help out a friend in need. It won't end | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
this debate because this democratic President doesn't enjoy untrammelled | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
support on the Conservative backbenches. I don't think the most | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
powerful man in the world could stop a Tory MP in full cry over Europe. | :05:40. | :05:46. | |
For many Tory MPs, it is their local electorates and the prospect of | :05:46. | :05:53. | |
defeat at the next election which is concentrating the mind. | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
In a dramatic change of plea, the man accused of murdering 12-year-old | :05:57. | :06:02. | |
Tia Sharp has admitted killing her. A jury heard that Stuart Hazell, 37, | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
was attracted to the 12-year-old and had assaulted her last summer. Tia's | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
body was found in the loft of the house that Hazell shared with the | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
schoolgirl's grandmother in South London. Matt Prodger is at the Old | :06:13. | :06:20. | |
Bailey. For nine months, Stuart Hazell has | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
denied murdering Tia Sharp. Finally, half-way through his trial, he | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
changed his plea to guilty. His lawyer said that was to spare the | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
family of Tia Sharp any further anguish. In truth, there was a | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
mountain of evidence against him and it is unlikely that any jury would | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
have acquitted him. Tia Sharp, the 12-year-old | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
schoolgirl who went to spend the night at her grandmother's house and | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
never returned. Stuart Hazell, her grandmother's partner, was the last | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
to see her alive. CCTV showed she spent the afternoon shopping with | :06:53. | :07:01. | |
him. The court was told that Tia idolised Hazell. Hours later, he | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
sexually assaulted and murdered her. Tia's relatives had been bracing | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
themselves for further distressing evidence today. Suddenly, Hazell | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
pleaded guilty. I'm glad that Stuart Hazell changed his plea to guilty | :07:14. | :07:20. | |
this morning. Four days of trial have been very hard to deal with, | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
hearing the vile things Hazell did to Tia. In my opinion, it would not | :07:24. | :07:29. | |
be enough. He should serve his time and then be hung. Last August, | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
residents of the new Addington housing estate had united behind | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
Tia's family in their struggle to find her. The night she died, she | :07:37. | :07:43. | |
was alone with Hazell while her grandmother was at work. In a TV | :07:43. | :07:48. | |
interview, he said Tia had left to go shopping the following morning. | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
He was lying. It is not about me, it is about Tia. This is all about Tia. | :07:53. | :07:58. | |
We have to get her home. We have to get her home. I don't know what more | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
to do. Police searched this house repeatedly, but it was almost a week | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
before they finally discovered Tia's body in the attic. It was an | :08:08. | :08:14. | |
oversight for which they were to apologise to the family. It was a | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
case of human error on the part of an inexperienced searcher that led | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
to the body not being found. The police have apologised. We have | :08:22. | :08:27. | |
addressed that, both in our electricion of search officers and | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
-- in our selection of search officers and in our training regime. | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
Today, police released this interview with Hazell. He refuses to | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
answer questions. They later found images of child abuse on his phone, | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
videos of Tia and a photo of her body. Hazell had grown up in care. | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
His mother was a prostitute and the court heard he had been raped as a | :08:49. | :08:55. | |
teenager. Local people remember a violent man, jailed for threatening | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
a landlord with a machete three years ago. He started walking up the | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
road with a machete in his hand. With that, I locked the pub doors, | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
called the police, the correct thing to do, I told everyone to stay | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
inside. He was a horrible man. He was a bully. He was a big lad. He | :09:10. | :09:18. | |
was a bully. Not very popular. statement released today, Tia | :09:18. | :09:24. | |
Sharp's mother said: She had not yet allowed herself to grieve. The trial | :09:24. | :09:29. | |
may be over, she said, but not for her. In that statement, she went on | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
to say that her young son had asked when Tia would be coming back home. | :09:34. | :09:40. | |
It made me cry, she said, I had to tell him she was a star in the sky. | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
There's a Serious Case Review which has been carried out into any | :09:44. | :09:54. | |

possible shortcomings or failings by the authorities, which may have | :09:57. | :10:07. | |
:10:07. | :10:08. | ||
contributed or -- contributed in the lead-up to her death. Nigel Evans, | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
the deputy speak of the House of Commons, said he would be away from | :10:11. | :10:19. | |
his duty for a few days. A convicted articled -- armed robber | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
is to be extradited to Britain. Andrew Moran agreed to be sent home | :10:23. | :10:31. | |
when he appeared at a court in Madrid. He was arrested yesterday. | :10:31. | :10:36. | |
The Army in Bangladesh says it is ending its search for survivors in | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
the wreckage of an eight-storey clothing factory. More than 1,100 | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
bodies have been recovered from the building. The Army says there is no | :10:43. | :10:49. | |
more hope of finding anyone alive in the rubble. | :10:49. | :10:54. | |
Two severely disabled men have gone to the Court of Appeal arguing for | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
the right-to-die. Paul Lamb wants a doctor to be allowed to help him to | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
take his own life without facing a murder charge. The other man, known | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
as "Martin" wants a change in the law to stop someone being prosecuted | :11:06. | :11:13. | |
if they help him to die. Clive Coleman was in court. | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
After two decades of paralysis and pain, Paul Lamb has made the | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
difficult journey to London and to the Court of Appeal to ask it to | :11:21. | :11:27. | |
give him the right to have a doctor end his life. I do actually love | :11:27. | :11:34. | |
life. I'm hanging on as long as I can. I don't ever want to be in a | :11:34. | :11:40. | |
bed where I think, "Wow, I'm not going to get out of this bed." I | :11:40. | :11:45. | |
don't ever want to be in that situation. I'm constantly going | :11:45. | :11:51. | |
through pain and being doped up. paralysis is so severe he has just | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
minimal movement in one hand that he couldn't take the final steps to end | :11:55. | :12:00. | |
his own life. He would need a doctor to kill him. That would amount to | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
murder. Paul is too physically disabled to take the final steps. So | :12:05. | :12:11. | |
what he would be asking the court to do is to sanction these steps in | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
advance after the court has heard all of the evidence in his case. | :12:15. | :12:20. | |
is a legal challenge started by the late Tony Nicklinson who died | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
shortly after the High Court rejected his bid to change the law | :12:24. | :12:30. | |
on the right-to-die. Now Paul Lamb is taking it on. In court today, the | :12:30. | :12:36. | |
Lord Chief Justice said that he and his fellow judges were acutely aware | :12:36. | :12:41. | |
of the desperate situation that Paul Lamb and another man who is | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
challenging prosecution policy on assisted suicide find themselves in. | :12:44. | :12:50. | |
But, he said, we can't decide this as a matter of personal sympathy. We | :12:50. | :12:56. | |
have to decide it according to the law. Many oppose any change in the | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
law that would allow doctors to actively end a life. There will be | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
so many people who will be made vulnerable by reason of their | :13:05. | :13:10. | |
disability, their age, their dementia, who will feel pressured | :13:10. | :13:15. | |
into accepting a way out of their lives like this. Previously, the | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
High Court had said that only Parliament can change the law. This | :13:18. | :13:24. | |
Wednesday, a Private Members' Bill will be put before it in an attempt | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
to legalise assisted dying for the terminally-ill who have less than | :13:28. | :13:33. | |
six months to live. That won't help Paul. He hasn't got a terminal | :13:33. | :13:41. | |
illness. His hopes lie with three senior judges. | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
The former Liberal Democrat Cabinet Minister Chris Huhne and his ex-wife | :13:45. | :13:49. | |
have been released from prison. They both served a quarter of their | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
eight-month sentences for lying about a speeding offence. They were | :13:52. | :13:59. | |
jailed in March for perverting the course of justice. Bags packed and | :13:59. | :14:05. | |
about to be freed. Chris Huhne left Leyhill Prison in Gloucestershire at | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
7.30am, two months into an eight-month sentence. | :14:08. | :14:15. | |
REPORTER: How was prison? The former Energy Secretary went | :14:15. | :14:21. | |
home by car, but he was not driving himself. It was when he was behind | :14:21. | :14:26. | |
the wheel over ten years ago that led to his jail sentence. He picked | :14:26. | :14:31. | |
up a speeding ticket, but persuaded his then wife to say she was driving | :14:31. | :14:35. | |
and accept the points. After an acrimonious divorce, Vicky Pryce | :14:35. | :14:40. | |
told newspapers what she had done and both were jailed for perverting | :14:40. | :14:45. | |
the course of justice. Chris Huhne arrived home in Central London with | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
the girlfriend he left his wife for. He will now be fitted with an | :14:49. | :14:54. | |
electronic tag. It has been a humbling and sobering experience. I | :14:54. | :15:00. | |
would like to thank all of those who have written to me hundreds of | :15:00. | :15:06. | |
letters and all my family and friends who have stood by me. | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
Clapham, Vicky Pryce was back home, too, having also been release | :15:10. | :15:15. | |
frommed prison this morning. She is very grateful for all the support. | :15:15. | :15:20. | |
She now intends to spend time with her family and she looks forward to | :15:20. | :15:25. | |
returning to her career as an economist. Chris Huhne doesn't have | :15:25. | :15:30. | |
a career to return to here. His time in politics is surely over for this | :15:30. | :15:40. | |

he is due to return to Earth. He is already well known to many people | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
because of the pictures he has treated from more than 200 miles | :17:29. | :17:34. | |
above us. I grabbed my camera and I raced over to the windows and try | :17:34. | :17:42. | |
to get a picture of the world that is underneath us. | :17:42. | :17:50. | |
And quite a few of his pictures have been of the UK. This is what | :17:50. | :17:55. | |
London looks like from out in space. The English Channel and the port of | :17:55. | :18:00. | |
Dover. Further west, the distinctive shape of the Isle of | :18:00. | :18:05. | |
Wight. The Humber estuary, and what about the Lake District with snow | :18:05. | :18:09. | |
on the stock -- summits. And when those pictures have been treated | :18:09. | :18:13. | |
from space, there has been a huge response from people living in the | :18:13. | :18:19. | |
UK. We managed to get a question to him in one of his recent link-ups | :18:19. | :18:26. | |
with there. I have a question from you from the BBC. We asked him what | :18:26. | :18:30. | |
he thought. You see the Isle of Wight, or some of the northern | :18:30. | :18:35. | |
regions into southern Scotland, they have a perspective on it that | :18:35. | :18:39. | |
may be did not exist for them in the regular two dimensional way we | :18:39. | :18:45. | |
see things. David Bowie has said this is probably the most poignant | :18:45. | :18:49. | |
version of Space oddity ever created. It is definitely recorded | :18:49. | :18:57. | |
in the right place. The former Prime Minister, Gordon | :18:57. | :19:00. | |
Brown, returned to the political front line today as the face of | :19:00. | :19:03. | |
Labour's campaign for Scotland to stay in the United Kingdom. Mr | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
Brown said Scotland would be worse off if there were a yes vote next | :19:06. | :19:09. | |
year, but nationalists insist the country would be fairer and | :19:09. | :19:11. | |
wealthier under independence. Here's our Scotland Correspondent, | :19:11. | :19:19. | |
James Cook. For centuries, Scotland has shared | :19:19. | :19:24. | |
a flag and fait with its British neighbours. Scottish Labour builds | :19:24. | :19:29. | |
ships for the Empire and the Scottish party helped build the | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
welfare state and the NHS. Today, a former Labour Prime Minister came | :19:33. | :19:39. | |
to Glasgow to re-enter the political fray and defend the Union. | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
In the last few years I have had time on my hands... The time to | :19:44. | :19:49. | |
reflect, courtesy of the British people. I want to put the positive | :19:49. | :19:54. | |
principle, forward looking case for a strong Scottish Parliament inside | :19:54. | :19:59. | |
a strong United Kingdom. Workers across the UK had always marched | :19:59. | :20:05. | |
for the same causes, said Gordon Brown, for a living wage, decent | :20:05. | :20:09. | |
pension and National Health Service. Independence, he argued would put | :20:09. | :20:14. | |
it in danger, risking a race to the bottom. His speech evoked another | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
era when the River Clyde was bustling with industry and the | :20:18. | :20:23. | |
British labour movement was forged. The nationalists say that | :20:23. | :20:26. | |
maintaining that left wing position is only possible with Scottish | :20:26. | :20:32. | |
independence. It is a choice between two very, very different | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
futures. One in which we take the power to shape our own future into | :20:36. | :20:42. | |
our own hands, and another where we leave the power in the hands of a | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
Westminster establishment that is set on a social and economic path | :20:45. | :20:50. | |
that most people in Scotland wouldn't choose. I another day of | :20:50. | :20:56. | |
speeches, claims and rebuttals in Scotland's independence campaign. | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
Neighbours think Gordon Brown is a vote winner here. Although he lost | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
the last election, he increased labour's share of the vote in | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
Scotland. The people of this country have another 16 months of | :21:08. | :21:14. | |
listening before their voice is heard. | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
The parent company of British Gas, Centrica, says this winter's cold | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
weather meant fuel consumption was 18% higher between January and | :21:20. | :21:23. | |
April than in the same period last year. It says it will use the | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
increased profits to avoid having to raise prices further for as long | :21:26. | :21:28. | |
as possible. The organisers of next year's | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
Commonwealth Games in Glasgow have promised there'll be no repeat of | :21:31. | :21:33. | |
the ticketing problems at last year's London Olympics. They've | :21:33. | :21:36. | |
announced that one million tickets will be made available with two | :21:36. | :21:40. | |
thirds of them costing �25 or less. And they say most of the tickets | :21:40. | :21:47. | |
will go to the public, as Laura Bicker reports. | :21:47. | :21:57. | |
:21:57. | :21:58. | ||
They are ready. The swimming-pool is set. The track is being tested. | :21:58. | :22:03. | |
The 2014 games venues are almost complete, so today it was time to | :22:03. | :22:08. | |
tell sports fans how they can get hold of tickets. We have tickets | :22:08. | :22:14. | |
for every sport starting at �15. Two thirds of the tickets are �25 | :22:14. | :22:17. | |
or less. It gives people a choice to buy tickets and come along and | :22:17. | :22:22. | |
see the sport next summer. Organisers are keen to avoid these | :22:22. | :22:27. | |
early Olympic embarrassments. Empty seats seats left for sponsored | :22:27. | :22:32. | |
angered those desperate for tickets. They are not just learning lessons | :22:32. | :22:37. | |
from London. Scotland has hosted the Games before. In 1986 in | :22:37. | :22:42. | |
Edinburgh, there was success on the track, but the event was left over | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
�4 million in debt. This time that when TB14 team say the Games will | :22:47. | :22:54. | |
be on time and on budget. -- 2014. The demand for tickets will be high. | :22:54. | :22:58. | |
People wanted to be in London to soak up the atmosphere, what other | :22:58. | :23:04. | |
sport it was. The great news is, the chance for anyone who wants to | :23:04. | :23:09. | |
come along and be there, made 2014 a massive success. This venue is | :23:09. | :23:15. | |
still under construction, but once it is finished, it will seat 12,500 | :23:15. | :23:22. | |
people for the gymnastics. Fans can apply for tickets from 19th August | :23:22. | :23:27. | |
to 16th September on wine, and by post. You can find out just soon | :23:27. | :23:36. | |
afterwards if you have been lucky enough to get what you want. | :23:36. | :23:38. | |
The British tennis Number One, Laura Robson, has beaten an injury- | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
hit Venus Williams in the first round of the Italian Open in Rome. | :23:42. | :23:45. | |
After a poor start, serving two double faults in her opening game, | :23:45. | :23:47. | |
Robson, won 6-3, 6-2 although Williams was far from her best. | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
Robson will now meet the other Williams sister, Serena, in the | :23:50. | :23:55. | |
second round. Now, Sir Alex Ferguson can't put | :23:55. | :23:59. | |
his feet up and enjoy his retirement just yet. After partying | :23:59. | :24:02. | |
on the pitch at Old Trafford with his Manchester United team and the | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
Premier League trophy yesterday, Sir Alex is back at the stadium | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
tonight at the start of an open top bus tour through the city. And our | :24:09. | :24:15. | |
Sports Editor, David Bond, is there with him, David. | :24:15. | :24:20. | |
Yes, crowds have been building at Old Trafford. They have had to put | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
up with some awful weather. We have an hailstones, thunder and | :24:25. | :24:29. | |
lightning, but they stuck with it. Players are on the bus at the | :24:29. | :24:33. | |
moment, we are still waiting for Sir Alex Ferguson. Manchester | :24:33. | :24:37. | |
United have done plenty of these victory parades down the years. But | :24:37. | :24:42. | |
this is like no other. All of these thousands of fans have come to say | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
farewell and thanks to a man who helped turn his club into a global | :24:46. | :24:53. | |
sporting giant. Look at the support, what a hard act soon followed he is | :24:53. | :24:59. | |
going to be? It is impossible, and David Moyes has got to try and take | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
that on. It is not just the trophies. If you look at how the | :25:03. | :25:08. | |
game has changed during his time, since he walked in here all those | :25:08. | :25:13. | |
years ago, 26 and a half years ago, you did not have English football | :25:13. | :25:17. | |
with the money involved, player- power involved in quite the same | :25:17. | :25:22. | |
way. You did not have clubs owned by foreign billionaires. The whole | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
landscape of the game has been changed enormously. Somehow, Sir | :25:26. | :25:31. | |
Alex Ferguson has managed to navigate his way through it, adapt | :25:31. | :25:36. | |
and deliver success. That is why so many people are here to say | :25:36. | :25:39. | |
farewell and thanks to him. I don't think you'll ever see his like | :25:39. | :25:49. | |
:25:49. | :25:55. | ||
again. Fine briefly in Manchester, but is | :25:55. | :26:02. | |
it going to last? England and Wales has a distinct possibility of | :26:02. | :26:07. | |
flooding tomorrow. One or two places could see some snow. Trouble | :26:07. | :26:12. | |
is looming in the Atlantic. Ahead of that we have had blustery | :26:12. | :26:17. | |
showers. If you are lucky you will avoid them and get some decent | :26:17. | :26:22. | |
spells of Sunshine. Showers drifting east, but more gathering | :26:22. | :26:25. | |
across Scotland and heading south through the night. Some through the | :26:25. | :26:29. | |
Irish Sea as well. Proper rain arriving in the south-west by the | :26:29. | :26:34. | |
end of the night. One a two spots getting as low as two or three | :26:34. | :26:38. | |
degrees. I wouldn't rule out a touch of frost. The rain is | :26:38. | :26:42. | |
initially across the south-west of England tomorrow. In marches across | :26:42. | :26:46. | |
southern country and up through parts of Wales. The Midlands will | :26:46. | :26:49. | |
turn wet in the afternoon and will be knocking on the door of East | :26:49. | :26:53. | |
Anglia by the end of proceedings. It will be culled under the rain | :26:53. | :26:57. | |
clouds. Further north there will be some Sunshine. But even here some | :26:57. | :27:02. | |
showers. Underneath rain clouds across parts of south-west England, | :27:02. | :27:06. | |
Wales and the Midlands tomorrow afternoon, some places won't get | :27:06. | :27:11. | |
above five or six degrees. Unusually cold. That leaves the | :27:11. | :27:18. | |
possibility for the odd flake of snow. It pushes the rain ever | :27:18. | :27:23. | |
northwards and strong winds. Watch out for weather warnings over the | :27:23. | :27:27. | |
next 24 hours. Eventually the rain will turn up in eastern Scotland on | :27:27. | :27:31. | |
Wednesday. Behind that, some improvements and some Sunshine. | :27:31. | :27:36. | |
When is it going to get warmer? We will have more online, you might | :27:36. | :27:42. | |
