Unemployment is down again, with the biggest fall in people claiming

:00:08.:00:12.

Jobseekers' Allowance for 16 years. The number of jobless is down 18,000

:00:13.:00:16.

- the government says it proves its policy is working: today on the day

:00:17.:00:26.

we concede there are 1 million more people in work, 1 million reasons to

:00:27.:00:30.

stick to the economic plan that we have. Food bank are on the rise.

:00:31.:00:39.

Even in work you are worse off and it is a Prime Minister in total

:00:40.:00:42.

denial about the cost of living crisis. We'll be looking the trend

:00:43.:00:47.

in wages for those in work. Also tonight. The Savile scandal - the

:00:48.:00:50.

police watchdog investigates a former officer at the West Yorkshire

:00:51.:00:54.

force who is accused of acting on behalf of the TV presenter. A deal

:00:55.:01:05.

in the making of America's debt crisis. The goal that set England on

:01:06.:01:12.

the road to Rio - Manager Roy Hodgson says his team can win the

:01:13.:01:20.

World Cup. I will explain why one in five of the world's children is

:01:21.:01:24.

still missing up on basic vaccine. And who will take centre stage in

:01:25.:01:30.

the autumn internationals in the union? -- in rugby union.

:01:31.:01:51.

Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six. There were angry

:01:52.:02:01.

exchanges today in the Commons about the UK's economic prospect. But

:02:02.:02:09.

David Cameron insisted that the economic policy is the right one.

:02:10.:02:13.

Unemployment fell by 18,000 in the June to August period. In total just

:02:14.:02:17.

under 2.5 million people are unemployed. The number of people

:02:18.:02:19.

claiming Jobseekers' Allowance is down to 1.3 million, after the

:02:20.:02:22.

biggest fall for 16 years. Our Business Correspondent Emma Simpson

:02:23.:02:30.

has more details. There has been no slowdown in sales

:02:31.:02:38.

of fast-food here. At Kentucky fried chicken the appetite for cheaper

:02:39.:02:42.

food is continuing to create new jobs especially for young people. We

:02:43.:02:54.

are taking on 1600, most will be 25 or under. Where opening about 25 new

:02:55.:03:01.

stores this year. And we have done that for the past few years. The

:03:02.:03:06.

story of this company feeds in to an improving jobs picture. The figures

:03:07.:03:10.

today are good news. Unemployment down, the number of jobs up. But

:03:11.:03:16.

still no sign of an end to the squeeze on wages. That fuels more

:03:17.:03:20.

clashes at Prime Minister 's questions. These are welcome

:03:21.:03:25.

figures. Of course we all want to see living standards improve and

:03:26.:03:30.

last year disposable income increased. The way to deliver on

:03:31.:03:34.

living standards is to grow the economy and cut taxes. But with

:03:35.:03:41.

prices rising three times faster than pay, the Labour leader said

:03:42.:03:46.

recovery was not being felt in people 's pockets. The British

:03:47.:03:50.

people would be surprised to hear the Prime Minister telling them that

:03:51.:03:54.

their living standards are rising when they know that under him living

:03:55.:04:00.

standards of falling each month. One part of the economy that appears to

:04:01.:04:04.

be on the mend is the jobs market. Long-term unemployment is down by

:04:05.:04:08.

15,000. But the number of people working part time is up again at

:04:09.:04:16.

nearly 1.5 million. Youth unemployment fell slightly but still

:04:17.:04:20.

stubbornly high at more than 950,000. Getting that first job has

:04:21.:04:28.

not been easy for these young people. They're being helped neither

:04:29.:04:34.

this charity in east London. Shirley has been unemployed since graduating

:04:35.:04:38.

a year ago in spite of living just a few miles away from the city of

:04:39.:04:48.

London. I am worse off than when I was 18 with three A-levels and apart

:04:49.:04:55.

time job. It is crazy to think that because I am more highly skilled.

:04:56.:05:00.

They all hope that a job is just around the corner and that they will

:05:01.:05:04.

also start to benefit from the economic recovery.

:05:05.:05:11.

Our political editor is here. We need to look at two things. There

:05:12.:05:17.

are more jobs but people are saying that wages are low. The government

:05:18.:05:23.

wants to highlight the good news. 1 million jobs created since the

:05:24.:05:26.

general election. The opposition wants to highlight the fact that we

:05:27.:05:30.

are all feeling the squeeze and wages are not going up as fast as

:05:31.:05:35.

inflation. And then the politicians trying to highlight who got what

:05:36.:05:40.

wrong. David Cameron was able to quote a speech that the Labour

:05:41.:05:44.

leader gave three years ago, addicting that there would be 1

:05:45.:05:48.

million fewer jobs in the British economy as a result of government

:05:49.:05:53.

economic policy. Cameron was able to say there are now 1 million more.

:05:54.:05:58.

But Ed Miliband was able to say, this is not how it feels for people.

:05:59.:06:04.

They are feeling the squeeze. To try to defend himself the Prime Minister

:06:05.:06:07.

then said, do not look at the difference between inflation and

:06:08.:06:12.

wages, look at what economists call disposable income the money you have

:06:13.:06:16.

left after taxes. The Prime Minister said that was going up but the

:06:17.:06:20.

Labour leader said he had got his figures wrong. That people actually

:06:21.:06:33.

have less money in work than before. There's been a dramatic rise in the

:06:34.:06:36.

number of people using food banks - that's according to the Trussell

:06:37.:06:40.

Trust. The charity says it's handed out

:06:41.:06:43.

more than 350,000 food parcels since April this year, triple the number

:06:44.:06:47.

for the same period last year. It says the situation is "scandalous",

:06:48.:06:50.

but the government says the rise could be the result of more people

:06:51.:06:53.

being aware of food banks. From Manchester, Ed Thomas reports.

:06:54.:07:00.

If you're hungry and cannot afford to eat this is the place to come to.

:07:01.:07:07.

The food bank here is busier than ever before. One of the customers is

:07:08.:07:14.

Kerry who is training to be a hairdresser. She said her benefits

:07:15.:07:18.

do not cover rising bills and that means she goes hungry. I have a lot

:07:19.:07:24.

of anxiety. Just the world nowadays has just changed. Everything is

:07:25.:07:29.

higher in price. It feels that we are scroungers but we are just

:07:30.:07:35.

trying to survive. The story is a familiar one with more than 400 food

:07:36.:07:39.

banks in towns and cities across the UK. What is behind this growing

:07:40.:07:44.

demand? Is it because people are struggling in a difficult economy or

:07:45.:07:49.

something else? Awareness that if food is being offered for free, then

:07:50.:07:55.

people will take it. Angela Shannon is a manager here. Many who ask her

:07:56.:08:02.

for help blame benefit changes. She believes it is right to ask

:08:03.:08:06.

difficult questions. You are donating something and you do not

:08:07.:08:10.

want it just to go to the off-licence. Morally that cannot be

:08:11.:08:18.

right. One reason the government says numbers are going up is because

:08:19.:08:21.

job centres are now referring people to food banks. And changes to the

:08:22.:08:27.

welfare system will provide low earners with choices away from

:08:28.:08:31.

hand-outs. How many jobs have you applied for in the past three

:08:32.:08:39.

months? About 150. Do you really need to be here? If I could not come

:08:40.:08:45.

here I would end up having a breakdown. The problem is the longer

:08:46.:08:52.

it takes for the economy to recover, the longer someone will have to rely

:08:53.:08:57.

on food banks. There's been a new development on

:08:58.:09:04.

the Savile scandal. The police watchdog - the IPCC - says it's

:09:05.:09:07.

begun an investigation into a former officer on the West Yorkshire force

:09:08.:09:10.

who's alleged to have acted on behalf of the TV presenter. David

:09:11.:09:19.

Silitto has the latest. The closest Jimmy Savile King to an

:09:20.:09:29.

investigation was this interview. The allegations with their to the

:09:30.:09:34.

officer having at Tate on behalf of Jimmy Savile by inappropriately

:09:35.:09:38.

contacting Surrey police ahead of a police interview in 2009. Then there

:09:39.:09:45.

is the conduct of the interview. One big felt that down. I think he was

:09:46.:09:51.

arrogant. He thinks he thinks he's also untouchable. I think the police

:09:52.:09:55.

should have probed him or on the questions they asked him. The

:09:56.:10:00.

interview also reveals how Jimmy Savile fended off accusations. Did

:10:01.:10:04.

he really have such powerful friends? George Carman was a leading

:10:05.:10:11.

libel lawyer in the 1980s and 1990s and he also knew Jimmy Savile and

:10:12.:10:18.

his secrets. He talked about Jimmy Savile and that he had been

:10:19.:10:22.

cautioned by police in Manchester for sexual offences against

:10:23.:10:27.

children. At that age I did not understand the full ramifications of

:10:28.:10:33.

what that meant. Then there are the enquiries. At least six at the last

:10:34.:10:36.

count. The former Sunday Mirror editor Paul Conway has already

:10:37.:10:41.

spoken to three of them. We had too many enquiries on going. The tragedy

:10:42.:10:48.

here is we have a mixture of enquiries, extended NHS and police

:10:49.:10:56.

enquiries. I think there is now a compelling case for an overarching

:10:57.:11:01.

judicial enquiry into the multi-institutional failures

:11:02.:11:03.

surrounding Jimmy Savile and other cases. So another Jimmy Savile

:11:04.:11:09.

investigation begins. The questions keep on coming.

:11:10.:11:16.

In the past hour the US senate has agreed a deal to avoid America

:11:17.:11:18.

defaulting on its debts. Our Washington Correspondent Laura

:11:19.:11:21.

Trevelyan is on Capitol Hill with the latest for us now. Is this the

:11:22.:11:30.

real thing? We think it is. It has been announced on the floor of the

:11:31.:11:33.

Senate. They have agreed on the Senate side in a bipartisan way to

:11:34.:11:38.

reopen the government until the middle of January and to extend the

:11:39.:11:41.

debt ceiling until early February. To have a long-range planning

:11:42.:11:47.

committee on government finances which would report back on efforts

:11:48.:11:50.

to reach a compromise in the middle of December. It was the Republicans

:11:51.:11:54.

who wanted to shut down the government in order to force changes

:11:55.:11:59.

to the signature health care Law of the President. What have they got in

:12:00.:12:03.

return? Very little. Just crumbs as one senior senator put it. So this

:12:04.:12:09.

will be a tough vote when it comes to the House of Representatives. It

:12:10.:12:13.

will require a handful of Republicans to break ranks to pass

:12:14.:12:18.

it. Thousands of England fans are

:12:19.:12:21.

expected to make the journey to Brazil next summer. Now the team are

:12:22.:12:26.

heading to next year's World cup. Roy Hodgson's men beat Poland

:12:27.:12:29.

two-nil at Wembley last night, guaranteeing them a place in the

:12:30.:12:36.

finals. Today he said winning was not out of the question. It was the

:12:37.:12:42.

moment English put all could breathe a huge sigh of relief. Steven

:12:43.:12:47.

Gerrard is my goal to seal the jury last night against Poland sent his

:12:48.:12:50.

team to dreamland. For Roy Hodgson the relief was obvious. The weight

:12:51.:13:01.

of unexpected nation lifted at last. And he said that England could now

:13:02.:13:08.

win the World Cup. It is not impossible. I must also say that we

:13:09.:13:15.

have been in a slight transition period. I do not think we will go

:13:16.:13:22.

into any games believing we do not have a chance to win it. Not too

:13:23.:13:29.

many teams out there will be saying England, what an easy one. England

:13:30.:13:36.

have had two wins in their final two matches, transforming a stuttering

:13:37.:13:40.

campaign and giving a sense of optimism and freshness. Now players

:13:41.:13:44.

and fans can look forward to the ultimate World Cup experience. The

:13:45.:13:49.

base camp is booked. The luxury Rio hotel and here is where they will

:13:50.:13:54.

prepare for matches. But for the fans hoping to join the players on a

:13:55.:14:00.

quest, it will not come cheap. Tickets start at ?56. But for the

:14:01.:14:06.

World Cup final more than ?600. Currently the most reasonable direct

:14:07.:14:16.

flight is over ?1600. Travel companies are offering packages for

:14:17.:14:23.

around ?7,000. Following England has never been more expensive. You have

:14:24.:14:31.

to fly internally all the time so no doubt the prices will go up.

:14:32.:14:36.

Logistically it will be difficult. John Barnes is on his way to scoring

:14:37.:14:42.

the greatest ever poll against Brazil but 29 years on, he plays

:14:43.:14:48.

down his country 's chances. It is not just about the World Cup. It is

:14:49.:14:56.

about English football in the next ten years and putting building

:14:57.:14:59.

blocks in place. England will have to wait until December to find out

:15:00.:15:03.

exactly who they will play in Brazil. But for now at least they

:15:04.:15:09.

will be at the carnival in the spiritual home of football. Our top

:15:10.:15:17.

story this evening. Unemployment down again - the number of jobless

:15:18.:15:22.

has fallen by 18,000. And still to come: It fell to earth in a blaze of

:15:23.:15:26.

light. Now scientists hope they have recovered some of the meteor. In

:15:27.:15:35.

sport later on, you can hear much more from Roy Hodgson as the England

:15:36.:15:41.

manager reveals his plans for Brazil and the World Cup next year. Now the

:15:42.:15:54.

latest on the international battle against preventable deaths among

:15:55.:16:00.

children. The World Health Organisation says there has been

:16:01.:16:06.

huge progress in the past decade. Measles deaths have been cut by 70%.

:16:07.:16:10.

Polio is close to eradication. And global child mortality has fallen by

:16:11.:16:14.

nearly half since 1990, despite the population growing. But as our

:16:15.:16:19.

medical correspondent, Fergus Walsh, reports, millions of children are

:16:20.:16:26.

still missing out on basic vaccines. Giving every child the chance of

:16:27.:16:33.

life. In Laos, this baby has a higher likelihood of staying healthy

:16:34.:16:38.

than any previous generation. Vaccines play a key role. It is

:16:39.:16:44.

estimated they save to -3 million lives every year. 50 years ago,

:16:45.:16:53.

things were different. Even in Britain, children faced many

:16:54.:16:57.

diseases that have disappeared. Smallpox was eradicated in 1980,

:16:58.:17:01.

showing that vaccines can transform health. In addition to saving lives,

:17:02.:17:08.

vaccines reduce illness and prevent disability and illness and

:17:09.:17:12.

disability but a huge economic burden on the family and also

:17:13.:17:16.

government and the health system. Let's look at the basic vaccines

:17:17.:17:21.

that every child should get. There are 11, including measles and polio.

:17:22.:17:27.

TB is not needed everywhere. One in 20 of the world 's children is fully

:17:28.:17:32.

immunised, getting all of the doses required and most are in wealthier

:17:33.:17:35.

countries. Let's look at individual vaccines. This prevents meningitis

:17:36.:17:42.

and pneumonia but fewer than ten and 20, or have of children, are

:17:43.:17:48.

protected. Diphtheria, tetanus and whooping cough, that figure is

:17:49.:17:54.

better with 16 and 20 but that means around 20 million children every

:17:55.:17:58.

year do not get fully immunised and that failure as a human cost. 1.5

:17:59.:18:03.

million deaths every year from these vaccine preventable diseases, nearly

:18:04.:18:09.

two thirds from only two infections. You will cockle diseases and

:18:10.:18:16.

rotavirus, which causes diarrhoea. The first vaccines against these

:18:17.:18:20.

were introduced less than one decade ago. Rich countries use them and

:18:21.:18:24.

dozens of developing nations are beginning to. But there is a very

:18:25.:18:29.

long way to go. What are the hurdles? Many health services in

:18:30.:18:34.

developing countries are so overstretched there are not enough

:18:35.:18:37.

medical staff to carry out immunisation. Vaccines must be kept

:18:38.:18:43.

cool or they will perish and it can be difficult getting them to remote

:18:44.:18:50.

communities. So closing the immunisation gap between poor and

:18:51.:18:54.

wealthier nations remains a key target for improving children's

:18:55.:19:00.

health. The Prime Minister has added his voice to calls for an apology

:19:01.:19:04.

from the police to the former Cabinet minister Andrew Mitchell

:19:05.:19:10.

over the so-called Plebgate affair. David Cameron was commenting on the

:19:11.:19:13.

conclusions of the police watchdog which said that three senior

:19:14.:19:16.

officers had knowingly given a false account of their meeting with Mr

:19:17.:19:19.

Mitchell a year ago. Carole Walker is in Westminster for us tonight.

:19:20.:19:25.

Yesterday we had the Home Secretary added a the Prime Minister adding to

:19:26.:19:29.

pressure on the police. -- and today, the Prime Minister. Yes, this

:19:30.:19:35.

is unusual to talk about a specific case. What do with Cameron said at

:19:36.:19:41.

Question Time was that the account that police gave other meeting with

:19:42.:19:45.

Andrew Mitchell to discuss his clash with officers at the gates of

:19:46.:19:52.

Downing Street, he said that the accord was untrue, Andrew Mitchell

:19:53.:19:56.

was owed an apology and should be a proper investigation. In the last

:19:57.:20:00.

few minutes I have learned that the original investigation into this

:20:01.:20:04.

meeting, the officer recommended that the police involved should face

:20:05.:20:10.

disciplinary proceedings but that was overruled by the Chief

:20:11.:20:13.

Constables of the forces involved and do not forget, this comes after

:20:14.:20:19.

the most senior prosecutor is still considering whether to bring to

:20:20.:20:24.

trial any of the officers over that original clash in Downing Street

:20:25.:20:28.

over allegations that they made up their account more than one year

:20:29.:20:34.

ago. Thank you. The newly privatised Royal Mail is facing the first

:20:35.:20:36.

national postal strike in almost four years. The Communication

:20:37.:20:38.

Workers' Union, which represents more than 100,000 staff at Royal

:20:39.:20:42.

Mail, has called the strike for the 4th of November. The union is

:20:43.:20:47.

pushing for an agreement that would protect workers' current terms and

:20:48.:20:50.

conditions at the newly privatised company. The BBC has learned that

:20:51.:20:56.

more than 1700 mental health beds have been closed in the past two

:20:57.:20:59.

years in England, forcing some patients to travel hundreds of miles

:21:00.:21:09.

to receive care. The findings have prompted a leading psychiatrist to

:21:10.:21:12.

warn that mental health services in England are in crisis and the

:21:13.:21:14.

Government has acknowledged that things have to improve. Michael

:21:15.:21:19.

Buchanan reports. One in four of us will suffer some kind of mental

:21:20.:21:23.

problems in the course of one year. That's according to the mental

:21:24.:21:26.

health foundation. But services in England to help those most in need

:21:27.:21:32.

are under severe strain. When Kerry fell ill, the only available bed was

:21:33.:21:36.

miles from her home, which delayed her recovery. They did not know

:21:37.:21:42.

anything about who I was what was available to support me. I was held

:21:43.:21:48.

there for longer than I needed to be. In 2011-12, there were nearly

:21:49.:21:53.

19,000 mental health beds in England. Using Freedom of

:21:54.:21:58.

information requests, we discover that more than 1700 have been

:21:59.:22:05.

closed, that's 9%. Closing beds and shutting down wards is only part of

:22:06.:22:10.

the problem. Doctors say there is an increase in demand for these

:22:11.:22:15.

services. But put those two things together and you end up with more

:22:16.:22:20.

patients saying there is simply not enough help. We have got access

:22:21.:22:28.

standards, 18 week limit for physical health problems, but they

:22:29.:22:32.

left out mental health and we have to correct that so that people with

:22:33.:22:36.

mental health problems are treated with the same seriousness as someone

:22:37.:22:39.

with physical problems. Lucy would agree. She voluntarily looked for

:22:40.:22:46.

psychiatric help but ended up being detained by police for her own

:22:47.:22:49.

safety. It was after hours of frantic calls had failed to find any

:22:50.:22:56.

bed. I heard a lot of disagreement between the different services and I

:22:57.:23:04.

felt awkward and quite ashamed to be causing such a problem when I had

:23:05.:23:12.

not meant to. The bed closures mean that many awards are now running at

:23:13.:23:17.

100% capacity. With staff increasingly scrambling to find

:23:18.:23:21.

spaces in the private sector. We are in a crisis at the moment and

:23:22.:23:26.

short-term cuts in services and beds increased costs because the system

:23:27.:23:31.

is currently inefficient and costing more than that would do if we

overlooked by the NHS. The pressure on resources means that cannot

continue. The operator of the Grangemouth oil refinery in Scotland

:23:49.:23:51.

says the plant will be shut down until at least Tuesday after

:23:52.:23:53.

negotiations with union leaders broke down. This morning the Unite

:23:54.:23:58.

union called off a 48-hour strike planned for Sunday. But the owners

:23:59.:24:04.

say that without an assurance that there will be no industrial action

:24:05.:24:08.

this winter, it will still shut down the plant. James Cook joins me now.

:24:09.:24:16.

What reaction has been, given that the union called off their strike?

:24:17.:24:22.

That is right and the problem is you cannot just flick a switch and turn

:24:23.:24:27.

this off and then turn it on again. The company which runs this said it

:24:28.:24:32.

was already running it down ahead of their strike on Sunday and without

:24:33.:24:36.

any guarantee that there will be no further action this winter, there

:24:37.:24:41.

was no point powering up. The union has accused the company of economic

:24:42.:24:45.

vandalism and holding Scotland to ransom. But it is important because

:24:46.:24:51.

this site provides 70% of filling stations in Scotland with fuel. They

:24:52.:24:56.

can get it elsewhere but it also powers a crucial oil pipeline and

:24:57.:24:59.

the effect on that is not clear but what began as a locals dispute is

:25:00.:25:06.

more serious. A huge rock believed to be part of a giant meteor

:25:07.:25:10.

weighing more than half a tonne has been raised from the lake where it

:25:11.:25:15.

crashed earlier this year. The meteor exploded above Central Russia

:25:16.:25:17.

back in February, shattering windows across the city of Chelyabinsk and

:25:18.:25:20.

injuring more than 1000 people. Here's our science editor, David

:25:21.:25:29.

Shukman. Across the sky of Russia last February, the dazzling,

:25:30.:25:33.

terrifying sight of a rock the size of a house hurtling from space. As

:25:34.:25:40.

it broke up, there were shock waves with the power of a nuclear weapons.

:25:41.:25:47.

The blast shattered windows, 1600 people needed treatment and no one

operation to retrieve the largest fragment found so far. It has taken

:26:02.:26:06.

months to locate. Eventually, it was taken ashore. A big moment for a

:26:07.:26:11.

region still shocked by what happened. The blackened service and

:26:12.:26:17.

round edges are the signatures of intense heat and melting. According

:26:18.:26:24.

to the scientist, the initial signs are that the rock is part of the

:26:25.:26:30.

meteorite that caused the damage. The team weighed the rock and

:26:31.:26:35.

meteorites are extremely heavy. This scales could not take it. It was a

:26:36.:26:42.

violent birth of the solar system that grated rocks like this and if

:26:43.:26:44.

they reach Earth, most burn up in the atmosphere but if you get

:26:45.:26:52.

through. Meteorites are so rare, you need to wear gloves. This one of the

ago but it is similar to the one that fell on Russia. Scientists hope

:27:02.:27:05.

that by studying these rocks from space, they can get a better handle

:27:06.:27:11.

on the possible dangers. Meteorites are evidence that we live in a very

:27:12.:27:16.

crowded corner of space. The rock in Russia will be really valuable. We

:27:17.:27:22.

can understand its behaviour as it was hurtling through the atmosphere

:27:23.:27:27.

at 46,000 mph and we can pull this piece out of the lake and look at

:27:28.:27:30.

its composition and structure in very fine detail. Never before has a

:27:31.:27:37.

meteorite been filmed and then find. The more that we know about these

:27:38.:27:40.

potential threats from space, the better. Now the weather.

:27:41.:27:50.

Not as impressive with a soggy start this morning. This was the South

:27:51.:27:55.

West first thing in this rain continued to push north and east

:27:56.:28:00.

with heavy pulses for Northern Ireland and night it focuses on

:28:01.:28:03.

Scotland for the rest of the evening and through the night. That rain

:28:04.:28:08.

will continue north and east, easing away with showers following behind

:28:09.:28:12.

and still windy over the next few hours across Wales and the

:28:13.:28:16.

Southwest. The persistent rain sets or night across the north-east of

:28:17.:28:20.

Scotland with showers for the north-west and showers running

:28:21.:28:24.

through this corridor but milder with temperatures at 11-13 degrees.

:28:25.:28:29.

I suspect first thing in the morning, it will be different for

:28:30.:28:33.

Scotland. Shelley with temperatures in single figures, low cloud and

:28:34.:28:38.

coastal fog to the east and still showers further west. Northern

:28:39.:28:43.

Ireland and northern England, dry and sunny, quite pleasant and

:28:44.:28:46.

despite showers lingering close to the M4, things will improve. It

:28:47.:28:51.

looks like a better day than today. The wind from the South West, but

:28:52.:28:54.

means temperatures will respond nicely. Particularly with sunshine.

:28:55.:29:01.

It is a risk of showers to the West and these could be heavy and

:29:02.:29:04.

thundery and the extreme north-east of Scotland stays rather grey, damp

:29:05.:29:09.

and disappointing. 7-12 degrees but with the sunshine in shelter, highs

:29:10.:29:15.

of 19 degrees. Still feeling pretty nice for this time of year. Starting

:29:16.:29:21.

Friday, it will not be long before this rain arrives and we do this

:29:22.:29:28.

again. Some quite heavy. That will track north and east into Saturday.

:29:29.:29:32.

Look to the west for a clue at what is to come for the weekend. Not bad

:29:33.:29:37.

but it stays pretty unsettled. More details throughout the evening.

:29:38.:29:46.

Thank you very much. That's all from us. Goodbye.
