:00:12. > :00:16.population grew by more than any other country in Europe. 800,000

:00:16. > :00:24.babies were born last year. That's the highest number in the last 40

:00:24. > :00:29.years. In the short-term, has affected housing, transport,

:00:29. > :00:34.services, like education and health. We will be looking at the reasons

:00:34. > :00:37.for this baby boom. An acid attack on two teenage girls doing charity

:00:38. > :00:45.work in Zanzibar. They've been flown to the capital for medical

:00:45. > :00:51.treatment. David Cameron... For struggling AMD departments, but

:00:51. > :00:57.doctors say it is papering over the cracks. A month ago, Jeeni was

:00:57. > :01:04.enslaved, working off her father's debt in Pakistan. Today, after the

:01:04. > :01:08.BBC's report, she can be a child again. In sport, the ICC say that

:01:08. > :01:18.Hot Spot will be used for the remaining Ashes test, despite being

:01:18. > :01:34.

:01:34. > :01:38.dogged by controversy so far this middle of a baby boom, with the

:01:38. > :01:42.highest number of boats for 40 years. New figures show that more

:01:42. > :01:47.than 800,000 babies were born last year. It means the UK population

:01:47. > :01:51.grew by more than any other country in you rub. We have been looking at

:01:51. > :01:57.the reasons for our growing population, and the strain it might

:01:57. > :02:01.put on services. A baby, it seems, is the must have item these days, as

:02:01. > :02:06.Britain experiences a baby-boom, the like of which we haven't seen since

:02:06. > :02:10.you doubt what Stewart was top of the charts in 1972. In the 12 months

:02:11. > :02:16.to June last year, more than 800,000 were delivered. It is not one born

:02:16. > :02:20.every minute now, it's one and a half. All of those babies have

:02:20. > :02:27.helped push the population up by almost 420,000 in just one year.

:02:27. > :02:33.There are now 63.7 million people in Britain, thanks to a quarter of a

:02:33. > :02:38.million more birds than deaths and 166,000 in net migration. So what do

:02:38. > :02:44.some of the crowds of new mums think is inspiring the baby-boom? After

:02:44. > :02:48.she came, all you see are mothers and kids. It is booming with babies.

:02:48. > :02:54.I see loads of babies around and the playgroups are full, you already

:02:54. > :02:58.have to worry about them now. There's lots to think about. It is

:02:58. > :03:03.now big business, pregnancy shops, baby shops and kiddie shops. Before

:03:04. > :03:07.we just have restaurants and pubs. Immigration has increased the number

:03:07. > :03:11.of women of child-bearing age. But it's thought an increasing trend

:03:11. > :03:14.towards larger families and women having children later are more

:03:14. > :03:19.significant factors. Whatever it is, the rise is seen as worrying by

:03:19. > :03:23.some. We want the government to say this growth in population isn't

:03:23. > :03:27.helpful, that we'd like people to have smaller families. Sure,

:03:27. > :03:37.migration is part of it, but people should be thinking about having one

:03:37. > :03:38.

:03:38. > :03:40.or two children, not three or four. Another factor in the population

:03:40. > :03:43.increases people living longer. Today's figures reveal that the

:03:43. > :03:47.number of men over 75 in the UK has risen an astonishing 25% each

:03:47. > :03:50.decade. A number of EU nations are actually worried by their low birth

:03:51. > :03:55.rates, and some economists suggest there are advantages in having more

:03:56. > :04:00.children. Medium to long-term economic benefits are substantial.

:04:00. > :04:05.People who are being born now or the immigrants coming here now, will

:04:05. > :04:10.help pay for our pensions and public services in the future. The hope is

:04:10. > :04:14.that today's numbers will act as an early warning system to planners. So

:04:14. > :04:20.whether by Royal appointment or not, as the new baby boomers grow up, the

:04:20. > :04:24.nurseries and the schools will be ready for them. We know there is a

:04:24. > :04:28.baby-boom. What I'm interested in is why our figures are so different to

:04:28. > :04:32.the rest of Europe. Part of it is immigration, we saw substantial

:04:32. > :04:37.immigration to this country over the last 12 years, it does push up the

:04:37. > :04:43.number of women of child-bearing age. We also seem to have women

:04:43. > :04:48.having babies later, into their late 30s and 40s. So the period over

:04:48. > :04:52.which they tend to have babies as longer. But the key thing is that in

:04:52. > :04:57.this country we tend to have bigger families than elsewhere in Europe.

:04:57. > :05:02.Far more people have three children in the UK than elsewhere in the EU.

:05:02. > :05:05.So there's something cultural there. I don't know what it is, but at the

:05:05. > :05:11.moment it seems that people think perhaps it's what you do. You have

:05:11. > :05:17.more than two kids. Two young British women have been attacked

:05:17. > :05:22.with acid on the East African island of Zanzibar. Case Dick -- DGN

:05:22. > :05:30.Kirstie Trup were volunteering for a charity. They have been treated on

:05:30. > :05:34.mainland Tanzania, but they are due to fly home tonight. This was the

:05:34. > :05:39.emergency operation to take the two injured women of Zanzibar island and

:05:39. > :05:45.into hospital on mainland Tanzania. Both girls had been splashed by

:05:45. > :05:48.acid. One was more seriously injured. Both in pain and shock,

:05:48. > :05:55.after the sudden and vicious attack. British consular staff

:05:56. > :06:00.helped them get from hospital in the island's capital. Katie Gee and

:06:00. > :06:04.Kirstie Trup are both 18. They were two weeks into a three-week trip,

:06:04. > :06:09.working as volunteers for a charity in Tanzania. They booked through a

:06:10. > :06:14.big UK travel company. Stone town is a major tourist destination. Tens of

:06:14. > :06:18.thousands of Britons come here every year. But the Foreign Office does

:06:18. > :06:22.one violent and armed crime is increasing. The girls were walking

:06:22. > :06:26.up this area of Stone town when suddenly two men on mopeds stopped

:06:26. > :06:30.and flung acid into their faces before speeding away. People rushed

:06:31. > :06:35.to help as they heard them screaming. It all happened so fast.

:06:35. > :06:38.The police still don't know why they were targeted. Zanzibar is a

:06:38. > :06:44.majority Muslim island. There have been tensions in the past between

:06:44. > :06:49.locals and tourists, for not dressing appropriately or covering

:06:49. > :06:53.up. But there's no indication that this was religiously motivated. It

:06:53. > :07:00.was said they were appropriately dressed. The girls who were working

:07:00. > :07:03.for your aid agency, they were aware? Yes, they were dressed

:07:04. > :07:08.appropriately. The girls are being treated for burns to their face,

:07:08. > :07:13.chest, arms and stomach. Their injuries are not life-threatening

:07:13. > :07:16.and they were said to be in good spirits, despite the vicious attack.

:07:16. > :07:20.Consular staff were helping to arrange an emergency medical

:07:20. > :07:25.evacuation flight to get them back to Britain, where their mums gave a

:07:25. > :07:28.joint statement, read by a family friend. Both families are extremely

:07:28. > :07:32.upset and distressed that this completely unprovoked attack on

:07:32. > :07:36.their lovely daughters, who had only gone to Zanzibar with good

:07:36. > :07:39.intentions. We understand that they will be flying home overnight. We

:07:39. > :07:43.appreciate all the interest and support we have received from the

:07:43. > :07:53.media, but we would ask that we are left alone until we've been reunited

:07:53. > :07:54.

:07:54. > :07:57.with our daughters. The authorities here say nothing like this has ever

:07:57. > :07:59.happened before, and police are still tracking the two men and

:07:59. > :08:02.investigating what might have been behind this vicious and unexpected

:08:02. > :08:06.attacks. UK border staff in France have been criticised for not taking

:08:06. > :08:09.the fingerprints of thousands of people caught trying to enter

:08:09. > :08:13.Britain illegally. The chief Inspector of Borders and immigration

:08:13. > :08:17.said records should be kept in case the same people later claimed asylum

:08:17. > :08:22.in the UK. He also said people smugglers were not being fined

:08:23. > :08:26.heavily enough. Ministers have agreed to review the issue. Several

:08:26. > :08:31.companies and charities say there. Advertising on the website Ask.fm,

:08:31. > :08:35.after the death of a teenager who was bullied online. 14-year-old

:08:35. > :08:38.Hannah Smith was found hanged at home in Leicestershire last week.

:08:38. > :08:43.The Prime Minister has urged people to boycott social media sites which

:08:43. > :08:48.fail to respond to concerns about bullying. Reeta Chakrabarti is with

:08:48. > :08:53.me now. Who are these advertisers that have pulled out? They have been

:08:53. > :08:58.pulling out during the course of the afternoon. They include names like

:08:58. > :09:03.Spec Savers, Vodafone, Laura Ashley, Save the Children, the sun

:09:03. > :09:06.newspaper, BT and eBay. A couple of the companies have said they didn't

:09:06. > :09:10.know they had adverts on this website, they were sold this

:09:10. > :09:14.advertising space as part of a wider package by other agencies.

:09:14. > :09:18.Nonetheless, they've moved fast to get out of the website this

:09:18. > :09:21.afternoon. The pressure has been growing on Ask.fm, so much so that

:09:21. > :09:25.this afternoon the founders of the website actually put out a long,

:09:25. > :09:31.open letter, saying that they defended their website, they don't

:09:31. > :09:35.condone bullying. They say that users can report any abuse, and they

:09:35. > :09:39.say users can elect not to have anonymous contact with other

:09:39. > :09:43.people, because anonymity has been one of the key reasons this website

:09:43. > :09:47.has been criticised. David Cameron said today that he felt that users

:09:47. > :09:51.needed to be protected, and that users should boycott websites where

:09:51. > :09:55.they are not properly protected. The trouble with that is, as one expert

:09:55. > :09:59.said to me, young people live their social lives online as much as they

:09:59. > :10:06.do offer it. How realistic is it to expect them to boycott a website?

:10:06. > :10:09.The issue was more about regulation. The NHS is to get an extra �500

:10:09. > :10:14.million to help bail out struggling accident and emergency departments

:10:14. > :10:17.in England. The government says the money will be spent over the next

:10:17. > :10:20.two years. The British Medical Association, which represents

:10:20. > :10:26.doctors, says the bailout is merely -- is merely papering over the

:10:26. > :10:31.cracks. Accident and emergency departments across the UK have been

:10:31. > :10:35.getting busier. Over the winter, waiting times in English hospitals

:10:35. > :10:41.increased. Leading to warnings from doctors, hospital managers and MPs

:10:41. > :10:45.that emergency care was facing a crisis. Now the Prime Minister is

:10:45. > :10:49.offering hospitals financial help to avoid similar problems this winter.

:10:49. > :10:54.We need to make sure that GPs surgeries work more closely with

:10:54. > :10:59.hospitals. We need to make sure that the frail and elderly better cared

:10:59. > :11:03.for in our communities, rather than going in and out of accident and

:11:03. > :11:07.emergency departments. government is offering �500 million

:11:07. > :11:13.to be spread over two years, which comes from savings already achieved

:11:13. > :11:18.in the NHS. But it represents less than half of 1% of the �110 billion

:11:18. > :11:23.budget for the NHS in England. It is likely to be shared between 25 to 50

:11:23. > :11:26.hospitals which have faced the biggest problems in A&E. At Salford

:11:26. > :11:32.Royal they are trying to relieve pressure on the busy emergency

:11:32. > :11:36.department. This is known as deflection will stop a nurse

:11:36. > :11:39.assessing patients to make sure they really need to be admitted. If they

:11:39. > :11:44.don't, they are offered advice and could even have an urgent

:11:44. > :11:46.appointment booked with their local GP. Accident and emergency

:11:46. > :11:51.departments across England have seen more patients walking through the

:11:51. > :11:56.door. But at the same time, there's been a real problem recruiting

:11:56. > :12:00.doctors and nurses to come and work in this intensely pressurised

:12:00. > :12:05.speciality. Not all doctors are convinced that the money today will

:12:05. > :12:08.make a real difference to the root causes of the problems. Doctor

:12:08. > :12:13.Clifford man, standing by to receive casualties from a motorway

:12:13. > :12:16.accident, knows all about the pressures of working in A&E. The

:12:16. > :12:21.Health Select Committee recently said just 17% of emergency

:12:21. > :12:24.departments were fully staffed. The doctor says that won't change with

:12:24. > :12:30.today's announcement. We welcome the money but it doesn't address the

:12:30. > :12:35.root cause of the problem in A&E department, which is a lack of

:12:35. > :12:38.senior decision-makers. But experts warn there are also problems with

:12:38. > :12:43.the ability of hospitals to discharge people back into their

:12:43. > :12:48.communities. When you can't do that they start backing up, and that's

:12:48. > :12:53.where you see the problems in the A&E department. It isn't necessary

:12:53. > :12:57.where the source of the problem is. A review of emergency care is

:12:57. > :13:04.looking at longer-term solutions, but winter pressures will soon start

:13:04. > :13:07.to build again. Britain is in the middle of a baby boom. Latest

:13:07. > :13:13.figures show the population grew by more than any other country in

:13:14. > :13:19.Europe. Still to come... Too much on show? Why the Co-op won't be

:13:19. > :13:23.stacking some lads magazines anymore. In Sportsday, Rickie

:13:23. > :13:26.Lambert is the surprise name in the England squad to face Scotland up

:13:26. > :13:36.when you next week. A Southampton striker could make his international

:13:36. > :13:44.

:13:44. > :13:49.ten-year-old Pakistani girl who worked for 15 hours a day, virtually

:13:49. > :13:54.a slave, paying off her father's deaths. The name is Jeeni and she is

:13:54. > :13:58.not alone. A leading NGO said there are 12 million child labourers

:13:58. > :14:02.working in Pakistan last year. It believes 25 million children and

:14:02. > :14:12.teenagers are not in school. But as for Jeeni, her life may be about to

:14:12. > :14:18.

:14:18. > :14:22.change. Deep in the cotton fields, Jeeni is at work, a child

:14:22. > :14:32.shouldering the burdens of adults. But if looks like hard Labour,

:14:32. > :14:33.

:14:33. > :14:39.remember what she left behind. This brick kiln was her home and

:14:39. > :14:44.effectively, her prison. She and her entire family toiled here. They were

:14:44. > :14:52.bonded labourers, enslaved by debt. But after we featured her story,

:14:52. > :14:58.that debt was suddenly forgiven. We were taken to see the small room

:14:58. > :15:02.Jeeni shared with 14 family members. This campaign from the

:15:02. > :15:08.Child rights group, SPARC, said she would have been liable for her

:15:09. > :15:15.parents' debt. She would have had to work for her entire life to pay off

:15:15. > :15:20.this loan but she would not pay alone like that in her whole life.

:15:20. > :15:26.The owner of the kiln claims he treats his work as well although

:15:26. > :15:34.bonded Labour is illegal. He said Jeeni's father owed him almost

:15:34. > :15:36.$8,000 which he wrote off out of compassion. TRANSLATION: After the

:15:36. > :15:41.BBC report, campaigners said to me and I said I have forgiven the

:15:41. > :15:50.debt, now they are free. I have children as well. I'd took pity on

:15:50. > :15:57.Bears. How are you? For Jeeni and her family, this new-found freedom

:15:57. > :16:04.means the chance of a better life. Still poor but no longer trapped.

:16:04. > :16:09.Her father says with what they earn picking cotton, he hopes to send

:16:09. > :16:15.Jeeni and her brothers to school. She is hoping for that as well and

:16:15. > :16:21.tells me she likes it here working the land. There we spent all day in

:16:21. > :16:29.the mud making bricks, she says. Now we work for only four hours a day.

:16:29. > :16:36.We are better off here. This is another advantage of their

:16:36. > :16:41.new location. For Jeeni, life certainly looks a lot different.

:16:41. > :16:47.Here, at least for a time, she can set work aside and simply be a

:16:47. > :16:53.child. But the biggest change is she can look forward to taking her place

:16:53. > :16:56.in the classroom, having a chance to learn and that is something which

:16:56. > :17:00.seemed impossible before. Millions of children in Pakistan never get to

:17:00. > :17:10.school. But for Jeeni and her siblings, a new future might be

:17:10. > :17:13.written. A Mafia boss who has been on the run

:17:13. > :17:18.for nearly two decades has been arrested in London. Domenico

:17:18. > :17:24.Rancadore, who is 64, and wanted by the Italian authorities, was

:17:24. > :17:27.arrested at home in Uxbridge. The co-operative has confirmed it

:17:27. > :17:33.will no longer sell Nuts magazine from early next month. It comes

:17:33. > :17:39.after the title's rubbish rejected an ultimatum to use modesty barracks

:17:39. > :17:47.or be removed from the shelves. -- modesty barracks. They are known

:17:47. > :17:50.as lads mags and in the Co-op, they're often sexually charged

:17:50. > :17:55.covers are hidden behind modesty boards. But now the Co-op wants to

:17:55. > :18:00.go further and put them in sealed bags. This is about responding to

:18:00. > :18:05.the needs of our customers. response from one of those magazines

:18:05. > :18:10.was simple. To Co-op we are saying we're not going to put our magazine

:18:10. > :18:14.in modesty barracks and if that means they not available, we will

:18:14. > :18:19.encourage our readers to shop elsewhere. They will buy the

:18:19. > :18:23.magazine and their shopping somewhere else. This is more than a

:18:23. > :18:28.row over a magazine. It is a claim that public attitudes have shifted.

:18:28. > :18:32.However, when it comes to a fence, the boundaries are not clear.

:18:32. > :18:36.not like to see them in shops because they are very explicit. I

:18:36. > :18:42.have small children with me and I do not want to answer questions about

:18:42. > :18:46.why they are there. Not very nice. We macro I think they are

:18:46. > :18:54.ridiculous. A beautiful woman, who does not want to see that? Bikinis

:18:54. > :19:00.do not just appear in lads mags. Will we have to ban women's

:19:00. > :19:06.magazines as well. The same pictures are in the sun and the daily the

:19:06. > :19:13.daily Star so would we have two put covers on that as well. There has

:19:13. > :19:18.been evidence that the tide has turned. There has been a gradual

:19:18. > :19:22.normalisation of soft porn. We do not have to stand for it any more.

:19:22. > :19:28.We can challenge it. The clearest evidence is how many people are

:19:28. > :19:33.buying them. Loaded used to sell 400,000 copies 15 years ago, it has

:19:33. > :19:38.now lost 90% of its sales, down to around 13,000 copies for each

:19:38. > :19:44.addition. And if the decline continues at the same rate, there

:19:44. > :19:47.may be nothing left to cover up. Shoppers were once attracted to big

:19:48. > :19:52.out-of-town supermarkets because they could get everything under one

:19:52. > :19:57.roof. Now as we buy more electrical and household goods online, major

:19:57. > :20:01.retailers are facing a challenge, what to do with all their spare

:20:01. > :20:05.space in stores. As our business correspondent reports, Tesco has

:20:06. > :20:12.more of these than anybody else, and this year they reported their first

:20:12. > :20:17.drop in profits for 20 years. Tesco, it still takes more of our

:20:17. > :20:21.money than any other retailer, but here is its problem. Shoppers do not

:20:21. > :20:29.need to visit these big out-of-town hypermarkets any more, but Tesco

:20:29. > :20:32.thinks it has found a solution. Today, a glimpse of the future,

:20:32. > :20:38.Tesco's multi-million pound experiment. Its aim is to make this

:20:38. > :20:44.story on to more than just the weekly shop. It has bought a

:20:44. > :20:52.restaurant chain and given space for community activities. The boss told

:20:52. > :20:56.me hypermarkets across the world are facing a challenge. Our answer is a

:20:56. > :21:03.reinvention of the hypermarket. Food first, lots of experience, lots of

:21:03. > :21:06.eating places, lots of browsing places, focused right on the family.

:21:06. > :21:11.After two decades of breakneck expansion, building large

:21:11. > :21:16.supermarkets like this one, the race for space is now over. Many

:21:16. > :21:21.retailers have too much of it. This shift is being driven by consumers

:21:21. > :21:27.and the way we now shop. And one of the big changes for supermarkets is

:21:27. > :21:31.shopping online. New figures out today suggest just over one of us --

:21:39. > :21:43.net. That is a rise of 40% in three years. Shopping habits are changing

:21:43. > :21:48.and online groceries we think will double over the next five years. We

:21:48. > :21:53.can buy when we want, how we want at a time which suits us. That is one

:21:53. > :21:58.of the challenges retailers are having to deal with. We are also

:21:58. > :22:02.shopping more locally, more often, in smaller convenience stores.

:22:02. > :22:08.Little and often because I work. When I have a day off I do what I

:22:08. > :22:12.can but I am picking up it's on the way home most nights. I am finding

:22:12. > :22:18.the larger stores too daunting. By the time you have gone half way

:22:18. > :22:21.round, you have had enough. Offering something different than just

:22:21. > :22:28.filling up the bags. All superstores will have to evolve if they are to

:22:28. > :22:32.keep their customers keen. Hawk-Eye, the goal line technology

:22:32. > :22:36.system for the Premier League and Wembley Stadium has been unveiled

:22:36. > :22:41.today. The system uses 14 cameras and will take just a second to send

:22:41. > :22:47.a signal to the referee's watch and earpiece, indicating whether the

:22:47. > :22:51.ball has crossed the line or not. It will be used for the first time this

:22:51. > :22:54.Sunday in the community shield match between Manchester United and Wigan.

:22:54. > :22:58.The International Cricket Council have confirmed that controversial

:22:58. > :23:03.HotSpot sensors which show whether a ball has hit the bat or not will

:23:03. > :23:07.continue to be used in the two remaining Ashes tests.

:23:07. > :23:11.That is despite complaints about its unreliability and allegations denied

:23:11. > :23:16.by England and Australia that players have tried to cheat the

:23:16. > :23:22.system. Joe Wilson reports from Chester-le-Street.

:23:22. > :23:26.You can see the pace of change in the north-east sky. This is how the

:23:26. > :23:31.Nissan car factory generates some of its energy. But is old-fashioned

:23:31. > :23:36.best when it comes to cricket? There is a feeling that technology has

:23:36. > :23:40.gone too far. I would like to see umpires make decisions. That is what

:23:40. > :23:48.they are there for. They are trained. With the RS it is not

:23:48. > :23:53.conclusive. This HotSpot is not picking it up -- DRS. Unless it

:23:53. > :23:57.works 100% I do not think there is any room for it. Every move the

:23:57. > :24:04.player makes is scrutinised by cameras. The slightest touch of ball

:24:10. > :24:15.takes his bat in a way to fool the cameras. Suggestions of foul play

:24:15. > :24:19.were made on Australian TV, ridiculed by England and Australia.

:24:19. > :24:24.A lot of people play with their favourite bats and put tape around

:24:24. > :24:28.them to make the bats last as long as they can. Cricket's governing

:24:28. > :24:33.body is trying to reassure the teams that the umpires know what they are

:24:33. > :24:38.doing. I think they have held their hands up and said mistakes have been

:24:38. > :24:42.made. It is something they are trying to iron out so it is not a

:24:42. > :24:46.talking point. It goes back to almost what it says on the tin,

:24:46. > :24:50.trying to get more decisions right so those decisions do not have a big

:24:50. > :24:57.impact on big aim. Taped up that have always been around in cricket

:24:57. > :25:04.but there has never been an Ashes test in Durham. They would rather

:25:04. > :25:10.see runs than reviews. Australia insist they are still motivated to

:25:10. > :25:13.square the series, even though they have already lost the Ashes.

:25:13. > :25:23.What is the weather going to be like for the cricket? Helen Willetts has

:25:23. > :25:28.

:25:28. > :25:33.decent day tomorrow. This has been creeping off the Atlantic, a weather

:25:33. > :25:37.front. It is creeping into Northern Ireland. It will take centre stage

:25:37. > :25:45.through the night and tomorrow. Some heavy bursts of rain along that

:25:45. > :25:54.weather front, fairly breezy as well. There will be a lot of cloud

:25:54. > :25:59.sitting on the hills. Quite grey and damp to start tomorrow morning. It

:25:59. > :26:05.does look brighter by the afternoon. You could be caught and some nasty

:26:05. > :26:12.conditions in the rush-hour in the morning. What it should blow away

:26:12. > :26:18.quite quickly. Then the sun comes out. 12-macro showers and eastern

:26:18. > :26:21.areas. Fairly confident for a decent day at Chester-le-Street. And you

:26:22. > :26:31.can catch the coverage on BBC. There will be some showers around in

:26:32. > :26:32.

:26:32. > :26:37.eastern England. For many of us, a lovely day. We will see temperatures

:26:37. > :26:47.around average for the time of year. The rain will linger little more in

:26:47. > :26:53.the north-east of Scotland. It is also looking very promising for the

:26:53. > :26:59.Welsh Eisteddfod tomorrow and Saturday. As we head towards the

:26:59. > :27:05.weekend, there is a question over the detail. For Saturday, many parts

:27:05. > :27:14.of central and southern and eastern areas are looking fine and dry. A

:27:14. > :27:19.fresh breeze and showers north and west. A noticeable breeze on Sunday.

:27:19. > :27:22.This weather system in the South might introduce some rain across

:27:22. > :27:28.England and Wales. Hopefully, it will be for the first half of the

:27:28. > :27:34.day and will slowly clearer way. It will be a bit up and down in the

:27:34. > :27:38.weekend. Please do not make this the last forecast you see if you do have

:27:38. > :27:44.plans. There is more information on the website.

:27:44. > :27:50.A reminder of our main stories tonight: Britain is in the middle of

:27:50. > :27:55.a baby boom. The latest figures show the population grew more than any
