:00:05. > :00:09.Terror in Nairobi - the siege at a Kenyan shopping mall continues -

:00:09. > :00:19.sixty two people are now dead including four Britons. Kenyan

:00:19. > :00:22.troops try to storm the building to stop the Islamic militants who are

:00:22. > :00:25.threatening to kill their remaining hostages. Images of the innocent

:00:25. > :00:29.caught up in the attack, families out shopping and children taking

:00:29. > :00:38.part in a cookery competition. A mother speaks to us of the chaos.

:00:38. > :00:43.The adults were animals. They were climbing on top of the kids to jump

:00:43. > :00:47.over the walls. I was trying to save all the little children. They kept

:00:47. > :00:50.stepping on the children. With the siege lasting over three days now,

:00:50. > :00:52.we'll bring you the latest from the scene.

:00:52. > :00:55.Also tonight: Rolf Harris appears in court charged with indecent assault

:00:55. > :00:58.of underage girls and making indecent images of children.

:00:58. > :01:01.The Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls says Labour would increase free childcare

:01:01. > :01:06.in England if it came to power, and signals a possible rethink on HS2.

:01:06. > :01:09.And how the latest report on climate change is expected to confirm that

:01:09. > :01:19.man is the main cause of global warming. Coming up in sport on BBC

:01:19. > :01:23.News, reaction from Sunderland as head coach Paolo Di Canio is sacked

:01:24. > :01:44.after just 13 games and only three wins.

:01:45. > :01:51.Good evening, and welcome to BBC News. Heavy gunfire is still being

:01:51. > :01:55.heard in the Kenyan capital this evening, and flames are pouring out

:01:55. > :02:00.of the shopping centre where Islamist militants have been holding

:02:00. > :02:04.shoppers since Saturday. The security forces are trying to clear

:02:04. > :02:08.the gunmen from the Westgate mall in Nairobi. Authorities say 62 people

:02:08. > :02:15.have been killed, including four Britons. The militant Somali group

:02:15. > :02:19.Al-Shabab have claimed responsibility. Let's go live to

:02:19. > :02:27.Nairobi and join our correspondence. What is the latest

:02:27. > :02:32.there? It is calm here now, but make no mistake, this is still a siege

:02:32. > :02:37.situation. The soldiers behind me are taking a break, having a bite to

:02:37. > :02:42.eat, but today was the day that Kenyan security forces finally made

:02:42. > :02:50.their big assault. I have been here most of the day, watching these

:02:50. > :02:54.extraordinary events unfold. Day three. The siege is starting to feel

:02:54. > :03:08.like a waiting game. Soldiers and policemen passing the time of day.

:03:08. > :03:10.Then suddenly... Just afternoon, a shot rings out. Then a series of

:03:10. > :03:14.explosions coming from inside the complex. There is a series of shots

:03:14. > :03:17.ringing out now, just outside the shopping centre. We can see black

:03:17. > :03:24.smoke coming from the top of the building. We don't know what's going

:03:24. > :03:28.on inside, but certainly, this is the most action we have heard in

:03:28. > :03:32.quite a number of hours. The building where the gunmen are holed

:03:32. > :03:37.up is now on fire. Reinforcements have been brought in, including

:03:37. > :03:41.armoured personnel carriers. Government forces are engaged in a

:03:41. > :03:46.major assault to try and dislodge the militants. But the attackers are

:03:46. > :03:51.not giving up without a fight. A commander from Al-Shabab, the group

:03:51. > :03:54.that says it carried out the attack, told the BBC this morning that their

:03:54. > :04:00.Al Qaeda-linked forces are well organised and there would be no

:04:00. > :04:14.surrender. I am intact with them in the mall. -- in touch with them.

:04:14. > :04:23.Meanwhile, those who managed to escape are coming to terms with

:04:23. > :04:25.their experiences. This woman was hosting a children's cookery

:04:25. > :04:31.competition on Saturday when the gunmen struck. Her own daughter and

:04:31. > :04:39.son, aged 12 and eight, were injured in the attack. I had about 30 to 33

:04:39. > :04:45.kids with me. The shooting was going on. We were in the corner. Everybody

:04:45. > :04:50.bent down, because the adults were animals. They were climbing on top

:04:50. > :04:56.of the kids to jump over the walls. I was trying to save all the little

:04:56. > :04:59.children, and they kept trying to step on the children. Someone

:04:59. > :05:03.carried my daughter out. She was hurt pretty badly in the lake and

:05:03. > :05:08.she couldn't walk. Someone picked her up and took her out. I just

:05:08. > :05:20.stayed there to look after her. And then... We pushed the kids away. We

:05:20. > :05:25.ran towards each other. We heard some more firing so we thought they

:05:25. > :05:29.were about to fire at us, but it was the guys who had come in and were

:05:29. > :05:33.protecting us, so they were firing to keep them away. Government forces

:05:33. > :05:37.said they killed at least two macro militants during today's assault,

:05:37. > :05:47.but say the crisis is still not over. There is going to be running

:05:47. > :05:54.and hiding, but I confirm that we have fully cordoned the building.

:05:54. > :05:59.There is no room for escapes. The says its overriding concern is to

:05:59. > :06:03.get the remaining hostages out alive. People are now preparing to

:06:03. > :06:10.spend a third terrifying night inside.

:06:10. > :06:17.The authorities here say they have since killed another militant,

:06:17. > :06:21.bringing the tally to three. They have also arrested ten people in

:06:21. > :06:25.connection with this incident, though it is not exactly clear where

:06:25. > :06:31.they arrested them or what role they are suspected of having played in

:06:31. > :06:36.this hostage scenario. Meanwhile, that hostage scenario does

:06:36. > :06:42.continue, and this is still an ongoing situation.

:06:42. > :06:43.Thank you. There were thousands of shoppers in the Westgate shopping

:06:43. > :06:49.mall when the gunmen struck on shoppers in the Westgate shopping

:06:49. > :06:53.Saturday afternoon. People of many nationalities, including at least

:06:53. > :06:57.four Britons were killed or injured. Our reporter was one of the first

:06:57. > :07:04.journalists to arrive at the scene on Saturday. She looks at some of

:07:04. > :07:09.those who have lost their lives. A terrifying experience for those

:07:09. > :07:12.who escaped and those still trapped. Over the weekend, as the death toll

:07:12. > :07:15.who escaped and those still trapped. rose, it has become clear that the

:07:15. > :07:20.victims of this attack were from all corners of the globe. This is a

:07:20. > :07:27.place where foreigners and Kenyans come to blacks and to shop. These

:07:27. > :07:37.thick, insulated roof protects from the sun.

:07:37. > :07:41.Among the dead was a prize-winning architect with joint British and

:07:41. > :07:58.Australian citizenship. His company today described him as:

:07:58. > :08:09.Rose pop back -- Rose's fiance, pregnant with his first child, was

:08:10. > :08:15.killed alongside him. She works with the built-in -- the Bill Clinton

:08:15. > :08:25.health initiative. Others confirmed to have died include a poet.

:08:25. > :08:28.Regarded as literally -- as literary royalty in his home nation. The

:08:28. > :08:33.Canadian government has confirmed that one of its diplomats was also

:08:33. > :08:42.among the dead. Her husband was injured. With the number of

:08:42. > :08:44.casualties expected to rise, Kenyans continue to queue in their numbers

:08:44. > :08:47.casualties expected to rise, Kenyans donating blood. Tragic as it is,

:08:47. > :08:59.this incident has brought Kenyans together. We are multiethnic...

:08:59. > :09:01.Kenya's president announced at the weekend that his nephew was among

:09:01. > :09:05.Kenya's president announced at the the dead. He perished with his

:09:05. > :09:10.fiancee. This is an atrocity that has united in grief the whole of

:09:10. > :09:18.Kenya, as well as hundreds of families who have been affected

:09:18. > :09:23.around the world. The militant Islamist group,

:09:23. > :09:27.Al-Shabab, based in Somalia, says it is responsible for the attack. The

:09:27. > :09:32.brutality of the events at the mall in Nairobi has caused shock waves

:09:32. > :09:39.around the world. What can you tell us about this group? They are from

:09:39. > :09:44.the most dangerous militant group in East Africa, Al-Shabab. Literally,

:09:44. > :09:49.it means "the Lads" in Arabic. What do we know about this organisation?

:09:49. > :09:53.They are based in southern Somalia. Only about 8000 strong at most, but

:09:53. > :09:58.they have been able to cross over into Kenya and also to attack

:09:58. > :10:02.Uganda. Their members are mostly Somali jihadis, but they have

:10:03. > :10:07.attracted a number of foreign jihadists. They have been using

:10:07. > :10:17.online social media to publicise their attacks. One Tweet reads:

:10:17. > :10:23.Noticed the way in which it is written - English is clearly the

:10:23. > :10:39.first language. Another Tweet says: All of this presents Kenya with a

:10:39. > :10:43.major security problem. This is this country's biggest security headache.

:10:43. > :10:47.When this siege is over, difficult questions will be asked. The

:10:47. > :10:51.authorities will have to make difficult decisions about the

:10:51. > :10:54.security system. Across the board in Somalia, they will also have to

:10:54. > :11:01.consider the fate of the Kenyan troops in that country. Given the

:11:01. > :11:06.international aspect of this, are any Britons involved? Among the

:11:06. > :11:10.ranks of Al-Shabab's volunteers, up to 50 are believed to have come from

:11:10. > :11:13.Britain. The government here fears that some may eventually return to

:11:13. > :11:19.this country. Separately, a Briton, that some may eventually return to

:11:19. > :11:23.Jermaine Grant, faces trial in Kenya for possession of explosives.

:11:23. > :11:28.Another, Samantha Lewthwaite has been on the run there from the

:11:28. > :11:35.authorities. What do Al-Shabab want? They want a strict Islamic state in

:11:35. > :11:40.Somalia. They want foreign forces out. Three years ago, they carried

:11:40. > :11:47.out a double suicide bombing in Kampala to punish Uganda for sending

:11:47. > :11:51.UN backed troops into Somalia. Al-Shabab has always had this

:11:51. > :11:56.tension between those in the movement who want to see Jihad

:11:56. > :12:00.fought inside Somalia, and it is really all about what happens to

:12:01. > :12:04.Somalia. There are others who would like to create ties to Al-Qaeda and

:12:04. > :12:08.other terrorist networks throughout the Middle East and Africa, and he

:12:08. > :12:13.wanted to be more of an international Jihad. Despite these

:12:13. > :12:18.divisions, with this attack in Nairobi, Al-Shabab has hit the most

:12:18. > :12:22.powerful country in East Africa where it hurts. This may end up

:12:22. > :12:26.uniting Kenyans, but it has also exposed just how vulnerable the

:12:26. > :12:32.country is to hit and run attacks from a ruthless enemy.

:12:32. > :12:36.Let's take a look at today's other news. Rolf Harris has appeared in

:12:36. > :12:41.court to face charges of indecent assault of underage girls in the

:12:41. > :12:47.80s, and of making indecent images of a child last year. He was

:12:47. > :12:50.arrested as part of the Metropolitan Police's Operation Yewtree, which is

:12:50. > :12:57.investigating historic allegations of child abuse.

:12:57. > :13:03.Rolf Harris has been entertaining British audiences since the 50s. He

:13:03. > :13:08.is now 83, and facing a criminal trial. He entered his court -- he

:13:08. > :13:12.entered court with his wife and daughter, surrounded by journalists

:13:12. > :13:17.and photographers, some from Australia. He walked slowly into the

:13:17. > :13:23.dock, and one hand -- at one point, put out a hand to steady himself.

:13:24. > :13:27.The court heard that the case was of a serious nature, and would be

:13:27. > :13:30.transferred to the Crown Court. He is charged with assault against two

:13:30. > :13:37.girls, one aged 15 in 1980, and one is charged with assault against two

:13:37. > :13:43.in 1986. He is also charged with making indecent images of a child

:13:43. > :13:47.last year. His lawyers say he will plead not guilty. His arrest

:13:47. > :13:52.interrupted a career that has continued to flourish, on TV, as an

:13:52. > :13:57.artist who once painted the Queen, and as an entertainer. At a music

:13:57. > :14:00.festival in May, he thanked the audience for his support. These

:14:00. > :14:06.charges bring him public attention of a different nature. He has been

:14:06. > :14:09.granted bail, and the legal process continues with an appearance at

:14:09. > :14:13.Southwark Crown Court on the 7th of October.

:14:13. > :14:18.Labour says it will give working parents of all three and

:14:18. > :14:23.four-year-olds in England's 24 hours a week of free childcare if the

:14:23. > :14:26.party wins the next election. The announcement by the Shadow

:14:26. > :14:32.Chancellor will increase the levy on the banks. The Shadow Chancellor

:14:32. > :14:35.also spoke of weakening support for HS2, saying it would review the

:14:35. > :14:56.plans for the controversial railway line if they come to power. Today,

:14:56. > :14:59.Ed Balls promised Labour would spend line if they come to power. Today,

:14:59. > :15:05.£800 million more money, extending free childcare to working patient --

:15:05. > :15:07.parents with toddlers. They have both something to prove, that they

:15:07. > :15:09.can make a difference without simply taxing and borrowing a whole lot

:15:09. > :15:11.can make a difference without simply more. The Shadow Chancellor told his

:15:11. > :15:16.conference that delivering Labour's goals would be harder than ever. We

:15:16. > :15:20.won't be able to reverse all the spending cuts and tax rises the

:15:20. > :15:23.Tories have pushed through. We will have to govern with less money

:15:23. > :15:28.around, the next Labour government will have to make cuts, too.

:15:28. > :15:31.However, he said taxing the banks, hedge funds and people who live in

:15:32. > :15:36.mansions could pay for a very long list. Jobs for young people

:15:36. > :15:43.guaranteed, expanding free childcare... The longer he went on,

:15:43. > :15:46.the more he liked -- they liked it. Building the homes we need, that is

:15:46. > :15:51.what a Labour government could do. Let's together go out there and make

:15:51. > :15:55.it happen. They rose to their feet for that, but it wasn't long before

:15:55. > :15:59.they were reporting a very different message. A call for an end to pay

:15:59. > :16:04.restraint from the leader of Britain's biggest public sector

:16:04. > :16:08.union. If this is the cost of living conference, then the pay freeze must

:16:08. > :16:15.end. No ifs, no buts, a clear commitment to end a Tory pay freeze.

:16:15. > :16:19.That call for existing party policy was voted for overwhelmingly. But

:16:19. > :16:22.what has really got people talking here in the beautiful sunshine in

:16:22. > :16:27.Brighton is the sense that Labour might be about to break the

:16:27. > :16:30.consensus between the Reds and the blues, about building a high-speed

:16:30. > :16:34.rail line to link the south to the north. The project some fear is

:16:34. > :16:42.becoming an expensive white elephant. Ed Balls says Labour won't

:16:42. > :16:47.write HS2 a blank cheque. The question is not just whether a new

:16:47. > :16:53.high-speed line is a good idea or a bad idea, but whether it is the best

:16:53. > :16:57.way to spend £50 billion for the future of our country. Plans for

:16:57. > :17:01.another high-speed railway were launched under the last Labour

:17:01. > :17:06.government. The party says it is not changed its mind, but just listen to

:17:06. > :17:09.this. We would cancel it if we did not think it was good value for

:17:09. > :17:14.money and the costs continued to rise. On a day Ed Balls is trying to

:17:14. > :17:18.prove it can be trusted with public money, he's raised questions not

:17:18. > :17:25.just about the cost of High Speed 2 but the alleged benefits as well.

:17:25. > :17:27.You can't do a U-turn on a railway, but is that the sound of a train

:17:27. > :17:38.You can't do a U-turn on a railway, being slammed into reverse? Our top

:17:38. > :17:41.story... Kenyan troops tried to storm the shopping mall in Nairobi

:17:41. > :17:45.to stop Islamic militants, who are threatening to kill their remaining

:17:46. > :17:53.hostages. Police in Wales say they may have uncovered a modern day

:17:53. > :17:59.slavery ring. In Sportsday, three new faces are named in England's

:17:59. > :18:03.Ashes squad. All-rounder Ben Stokes joins batsmen Gary Ballance and fast

:18:03. > :18:13.bowler Boyd Rankin on the tour to Australia in November.

:18:13. > :18:19.The most recent international report on climate change, due later this

:18:19. > :18:22.week, is expected to confirm that human activity is primarily

:18:22. > :18:26.responsible for global warming. That is meant to warm oceans, melting

:18:26. > :18:29.snow and ice and a rise in sea levels. In the last 100 years there

:18:29. > :18:34.has been an increase in global average temperatures of 0.8

:18:34. > :18:38.Celsius, and further rises are projected. At what is baffling

:18:38. > :18:45.scientists is that for the last 15 years, temperatures haven't gone

:18:45. > :18:51.above the level recorded in 1998. The air we breathe is changing. It

:18:51. > :18:56.now holds more of the warming gas, carbon dioxide, than at any time in

:18:56. > :19:01.human history. And new records of temperature keep being set. Crops

:19:01. > :19:05.burned last year in America's hottest month ever. In China this

:19:05. > :19:10.summer, people were desperate to keep cool in heat that no one had

:19:10. > :19:15.experienced. So how much is the planet warming? Well, in this graph

:19:15. > :19:20.the red area shows computer simulations of the global average

:19:20. > :19:23.temperature. The white line is what is actually being recorded.

:19:23. > :19:26.Temperatures rising recently, until 15 years ago, for some reason, they

:19:26. > :19:36.paused. Decade on decade global warming is

:19:36. > :19:37.proceeding as expected. That said, within the last 15 years we've seen

:19:37. > :19:42.little warming at the surface. That within the last 15 years we've seen

:19:42. > :19:45.in itself is enough to tell us that the most extreme projections of

:19:45. > :19:50.warming over the next 20 or 30 years looking less likely, and that's good

:19:50. > :19:54.news. One explanation is that the sun is giving off less heat. Another

:19:54. > :19:58.is that industrial pollution is reflecting the rays of the sun. A

:19:58. > :20:09.third idea is that the oceans warming. Scientists have a network

:20:09. > :20:11.of devices are measuring a rise in water temperature. The deep ocean

:20:11. > :20:14.has without doubt warmed up since the 1980s. But the ocean is so fast

:20:14. > :20:17.that even 100 degrees -- a hundredth of a degree temperature chains is

:20:17. > :20:20.significant to the impact it will have on the atmosphere above it. So

:20:20. > :20:23.significant to the impact it will there are several babies by the

:20:23. > :20:27.warming of the planet has paused. The most plausible answer for many

:20:27. > :20:31.scientists does lie in the oceans with all of the different currents.

:20:31. > :20:34.But so far the evidence from the deeper still pretty sparse. So at

:20:34. > :20:43.this stage no one can be really sure. One blogger read by thousands

:20:43. > :20:46.every day has long raised questions about the pores. Andrew Montford

:20:46. > :20:50.accepts mankind is affecting the climate and says there's so much the

:20:51. > :20:55.scientists don't know. If they convert explain it then they should

:20:55. > :20:59.say so. People will learn from that, that there's a lot about the

:20:59. > :21:03.climate system that scientists don't understand. That is the truth and

:21:03. > :21:08.that is what the public needs to know. A major report on climate

:21:08. > :21:12.change is due on Friday. The scientists will try to explain why

:21:12. > :21:19.temperatures have forced, while insisting that global warming in the

:21:19. > :21:23.term remains a dangerous threat. The German chancellor, Angela Merkel,

:21:23. > :21:26.has spent the day trying to form a fresh coalition government, after

:21:26. > :21:30.winning her third successive term in office. She led her centre-right

:21:30. > :21:33.Christian Democrats to victory in the German election, but without

:21:33. > :21:39.securing an outright majority. She is now talking to her rivals in the

:21:39. > :21:44.Social Democratic Party will stop let's get more from Gavin Hewitt,

:21:44. > :21:50.who joins us from Berlin. How is Mrs Merkel's third term likely to affect

:21:50. > :21:53.Europe and Britain? First of all, Angela Merkel is still getting

:21:53. > :21:58.rounds of applause from her supporters. But she will need to

:21:58. > :22:00.build a governing coalition. Some soundings were taken today with the

:22:00. > :22:06.other parties, but it clear those negotiations will be long and tough.

:22:06. > :22:11.She did speak about Europe today and said, on Europe, we will not change

:22:11. > :22:15.course. What does she mean by that? That the combination of austerity,

:22:15. > :22:20.cutting spending, labour market reforms will have to continue in

:22:20. > :22:25.exchange for support. David Cameron picked up a phone and spoke to her

:22:25. > :22:29.and congratulated her. He is planning to renegotiate Britain's

:23:09. > :23:14.Over 100 officers who were involved in the raid at this site and two

:23:14. > :23:18.others this morning, the culmination of a six-month investigation into

:23:18. > :23:21.people trafficking and slavery. It is now an investigation that may yet

:23:29. > :23:33.quiet country road, a farm the police say could be at the centre of

:23:33. > :23:37.a modern slavery network. They believe workers have been forced to

:23:37. > :23:44.live here in squalid conditions without pay. There may also have

:23:44. > :23:47.been a death here. We do have information there may be a body

:23:47. > :23:52.buried at that site, and it would be amiss mischievous at that time not

:23:52. > :23:54.to investigate it fully. We will enquire into that, but at the moment

:23:54. > :23:56.to investigate it fully. We will we have no more than just a

:23:56. > :24:03.suggestion that there could be a Borrie -- that there could be a body

:24:03. > :24:05.buried there. It follows the discovery of this man, Darryl

:24:05. > :24:11.semester, found living here after he'd been missing for 13 years.

:24:11. > :24:15.Today the officers took away another worker, originally from Eastern

:24:15. > :24:19.Europe, so he could receive medical help. Four people, all from south

:24:19. > :24:21.Wales, remain in custody. Police have brought in diggers and

:24:21. > :24:29.floodlights to continue their search. Scottish government

:24:29. > :24:32.ministers have said pensioners in Scotland would be better off than

:24:32. > :24:36.those in the rest of the UK if Scotland were to vote for

:24:36. > :24:39.independence. The Deputy First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, said if

:24:40. > :24:45.there was a yes vote in 2016, new pensioners would be given £160 a

:24:45. > :24:51.week, that would be £1.10 better off than pensioners elsewhere. It

:24:56. > :24:59.Hospital. In an exhibition featuring Wallace's loyal sidekick, Gromit,

:24:59. > :25:03.has surpassed expectations. It has had to be moved to bigger premises,

:25:20. > :25:26.Since this exhibition open five days ago, 25,000 people have paid to come

:25:26. > :25:30.through the doors to look at these Gromits. There are still enough to

:25:30. > :25:39.note that the gates have shot, hundreds outside hoping to get in.

:25:39. > :25:43.He went walkies for the summer. 80 giant Gromits dotted all over

:25:43. > :25:49.Bristol. The challenge was to try to find them all. Now, before they are

:25:49. > :25:55.auctioned off for charity, there's one final dog show. Gromits by

:25:55. > :25:57.celebrity artists like Zayn Malik and Sir Quentin Blake. And people

:25:57. > :26:03.have been queueing for up to eight and Sir Quentin Blake. And people

:26:03. > :26:12.hours to get inside. It's just his cheeky smile, he's funny. Everyone

:26:12. > :26:22.is smiling and laughing. You've come hundreds of miles for this. I know!

:26:22. > :26:25.I hope it's worth it. It will be. Jo found almost all of them this

:26:25. > :26:31.summer, but now wants to see the last one. Has it become a bit of an

:26:31. > :26:36.obsession for you? Yes, it has. I've taken my little brothers and nephews

:26:36. > :26:43.around. They absolutely love it. Who loves it more, then all you? Me! The

:26:43. > :26:46.Wallace and Gromit films are made in Bristol, and their Oscar-winning

:26:46. > :26:52.creator can't believe the public response. I have to pinch myself and

:26:52. > :26:57.think, did I have something to do with this? This plasticine dog that

:26:57. > :27:02.I made at college has come to this. 8000 people have already registered

:27:02. > :27:03.to buy a Gromit in the auction. Jo is just glad to have found her last

:27:03. > :27:19.one. Yeah! Today we had temperatures of 25

:27:20. > :27:22.degrees in Wales. You can see how the cloud broke through. A lovely

:27:23. > :27:26.day across north-east Scotland and the cloud broke through. A lovely

:27:26. > :27:30.North East England. And we've seen some belated sunshine develop in the

:27:30. > :27:33.south. Where we have clear skies overnight, we will see the

:27:33. > :27:37.temperatures falling just low enough to give us some mist and fog. It

:27:37. > :27:41.will be another mild and muggy night. We still have this large area

:27:41. > :27:57.of cloud in central areas moving north into north-east England and

:27:57. > :28:00.Scotland, allowing clearer skies not just for Wales but also the Midlands

:28:00. > :28:03.and southern England. It is here that we will have most of the mist

:28:03. > :28:04.and fog. There could be some dense patches by the morning. It will be a

:28:04. > :28:06.warm start at 13 or 14 patches by the morning. It will be a

:28:06. > :28:10.Watch out for the fog south patches by the morning. It will be a

:28:11. > :28:12.sunshine coming through in many areas. Some sunny spells probably a

:28:13. > :28:13.sunshine coming through in many little sooner across southern

:28:13. > :28:16.sunshine coming through in many England. 23 Celsius in the

:28:18. > :28:21.North West of England. Temperatures in the Midlands and for much of the

:28:21. > :28:26.similar to today across Northern Ireland. A little sunshine here and

:28:26. > :28:30.also for western Scotland. For eastern Scotland and North East

:28:30. > :28:36.England, much more cloud, drizzle and temperatures lower. We will find

:28:36. > :28:41.patchy rain developing in Scotland by the middle of the week. One or

:28:41. > :28:46.two showers in the south-west but for many it should be dry and bright

:28:46. > :28:53.with a little sunshine. A few more showers overnight through Thursday,

:28:53. > :28:57.moving north up the eastern side of England. To the south we have the
