Back on track - the Bank of England says the UK recovery has finally | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
taken hold. The Bank's Governor now says the economy will grow sooner | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
and unemployment will fall faster than expected. For the first time in | :00:13. | :00:24. | |
a long time, you do not have to be an optimist to see that the glass is | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
half full. The recovery has finally taken hold. We'll be asking whether | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
it all means interest rates could now go up sooner than had been | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
expected. Also tonight... Trying to keep the calm - the army has been | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
drafted in as the Philippine government admits it has been | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
overwhelmed by the scale of the typhoon. The hospital in Tacloban - | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
one of the worst-hit cities - is still without power, running water, | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
and they are low on supplies. And I will be reporting on how, six days | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
later, many still depend on the charity of their church. Dividing up | :00:51. | :00:55. | |
A - NHS bosses propose a two-tier system in England to try to ease the | :00:56. | :01:03. | |
pressure on emergency departments. And Oprah Winfrey talks to the BBC | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
about Barack Obama and claims he is disrespected not because he is | :01:08. | :01:08. | |
president but because he is black. Coming up in the sport, England's | :01:09. | :01:22. | |
injury list lengthens. They will be without Steven Gerrard and Kyle | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
Walker for Friday's match. Good evening and welcome to the BBC | :01:26. | :01:45. | |
News at Six. The Bank of England hasn't sounded this positive since | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
before the recession began in 2008 - but today, its governor announced | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
that the recovery has finally "taken hold". Mark Carney's comments came | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
as the Bank upgraded its growth forecast, suggesting the UK economy | :01:55. | :02:03. | |
could grow by up to 2.8% next year. And the latest unemployment figures | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
show another fall down by 48,000 to the lowest level for 2.5 years. So, | :02:07. | :02:13. | |
with the economy picking up at last, our chief economics correspondent, | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
Hugh Pym, looks at what it will all mean for interest rates. | :02:17. | :02:27. | |
We have heard some gloomy predictions from the Bank of | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
England, but today, the Bank was looking on the bright side, with | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
inflation forecasts revised down, and growth, up. The Governor was | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
clear in his assessment of where the economy is going. Jobs are being | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
created at 60,000 per month, the economy is growing at its fastest | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
rate in six years. For the first time in a long time, you do not have | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
to be an optimist to see that the glass is half full. The recovery has | :02:56. | :03:02. | |
finally taken hold. For many businesses, like this garden | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
supplier in Sussex, there is no more cutting back. It is quite the | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
opposite. The company is growing and is about to open a new site, which | :03:11. | :03:17. | |
means taking on more workers. Just this year, things have really | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
changed, they are getting a hell of a lot better, partly because of the | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
economy, but certainly because we are doing our job better, and it | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
leaves me very much more confident about the future. Mortgage payers, | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
savers and businesses will want to know what all of this means for | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
interest rates. Back in August, Bank unveiled a new policy which were | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
designed to provide reassurance that interest rates would stay low for a | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
certain period of time, so where does that stand now? The policy | :03:47. | :03:53. | |
focuses on the unemployment rate. Today, we learned it was 7.6% of the | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
workforce. The Bank says it will not consider raising interest rates | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
until unemployment falls to 7%. Previously that was forecast to | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
happen in 2016 at the earliest, but now the Bank says that could happen | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
at the end of next year. But the Governor says even if that did | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
happen, interest rates could still be held at their current low level. | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
We will not even consider raising interest rates until that 7% | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
threshold is reached, that is the first point. The second point is, at | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
that point, we are going to take an assessment, in the MDC, about the | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
degree of slack in the economy, degree of momentum in the economy, | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
and what that means for achieving our inflation targets and everything | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
else. The Chancellor welcomed the forecasts and the news of falling | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
unemployment, claiming it as further proof that his policies were | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
working. But Labour said that with wages lagging behind inflation, it | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
was still a cost of living crisis. Our deputy political editor, James | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
Landale, is in Downing Street. A growing economy is of course good | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
news, but an interest rate rise just before an election, if it does | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
happen - would it be good for the Government? I think there is a | :05:06. | :05:12. | |
paradox here. There is clearly better economic news for the | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
Government, allowing them to argue that their policies are working, and | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
allowing them to try to move the debate away from the cost of living | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
and energy bills, where they are struggling, and back to the broader | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
economy, where they are doing better. If you speak to people in | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
here and down at the Treasury, they are being very cautious. They know | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
that many people are not feeling any kind of recovery in their wage | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
packets. They know that any more bad news from the eurozone could change | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
these figures very much, so there can be no complacency. And even if | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
the economy does recover quicker than expected, there are potential | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
political problems. Any interest rate rise just before an election | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
would raise the cost of living for many people, just when the | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
government would not want it. Also, if there is this idea of a secure | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
recovery out there, many people in the government fear that some voters | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
might feel that they could take a risk on the other side, in other | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
words Labour, rather than sticking with the coalition to finish off the | :06:10. | :06:16. | |
job. So, there is a balancing act he has got to get a balance between | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
pessimism and optimism, which is why today he was not rejoicing about the | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
recovery, but reminding us of the risks which lie ahead. | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
The government in the Philippines has admitted it has been overwhelmed | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
by the scale of the devastation caused by Typhoon Haiyan. Millions | :06:33. | :06:34. | |
of people are still without vital supplies. In some of the worst-hit | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
areas, frustration has started to boil over. George Alagiah has | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
managed to reach the city of Tacloban, which was flattened by the | :06:41. | :06:41. | |
typhoon. Good evening - I'm in Tacloban, the | :06:42. | :06:49. | |
city at the heart of the Philippines typhoon disaster. More relief planes | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
have been landing here today - and there are, finally, signs of an | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
organised response to a crisis that has left hundreds of thousands of | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
people homeless and millions more needing help. But there is little | :07:01. | :07:08. | |
sign that the aid is getting out to the 600,000 people who have been | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
made homeless, and the Melli millions more who need help. But | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
around the city, there are growing signs that the survivors of last | :07:16. | :07:17. | |
Friday's typhoon disaster are becoming more desperate - troops | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
have been deployed in greater numbers than ever before. Our first | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
report tonight is from Rupert Wingfield-Hayes. At Tacloban | :07:24. | :07:32. | |
Hospital, this 13-year-old girl has been brought in badly injured and | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
deeply traumatised. For six days she was trapped in the ruins of her | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
home. The bodies of her whole family were lying around her. The only | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
thing she has been able to tell nurses is her name, Rebecca. The | :07:46. | :07:52. | |
doctor immediately sets to work cleaning her badly infected wounds, | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
but he only has the most basic supplies. We have no stocks, as you | :07:56. | :08:05. | |
can see. We have no equipment. The big problem is, we do not have | :08:06. | :08:12. | |
medicines. We need your help. Outside, others are not waiting for | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
help, they are helping themselves. At first glance, it is hard to tell | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
exactly what is going on here, until you realise this is a petrol | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
station. So, down here, this is diesel in this tank underground, and | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
ingenuously, they are putting these things down and filling up their | :08:32. | :08:37. | |
bottles. Is this for your car, for your motorcycle? For the | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
motorcycle, you have run out of fuel? OK. If this is looting, then | :08:43. | :08:50. | |
it is very patient and well ordered looting. The truth is, it is the | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
only way for people to get fuel here. These are strange days in | :08:54. | :09:03. | |
Tacloban. At noon, the streets empties and suddenly, soldiers | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
appeared. It took on the appearance of a war zone. With the rumour mill | :09:08. | :09:13. | |
in overdrive, several people told me the city was about to be attacked by | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
communist rebels. It is not clear what is going on. The Army have come | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
in to reassert control, and now they say they have some sort of | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
government down this street pinned down. We never did find out, but the | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
Army does appear to be here in force now. Back at the hospital, it is | :09:31. | :09:38. | |
little consolation. They are short of everything. These people are | :09:39. | :09:41. | |
waiting for operations they cannot have. This baby has a high fever and | :09:42. | :09:48. | |
diarrhoea, or even the drinking water she so obviously needs has to | :09:49. | :09:56. | |
be carefully rationed. In time, Rebecca's physical wounds will heal, | :09:57. | :10:04. | |
but for her and for so many here, there will be life before and after | :10:05. | :10:06. | |
the typhoon. The government here has been | :10:07. | :10:18. | |
defending its response to the crisis. A senior politician came | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
here and described it as the biggest logistical operation the country has | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
ever had to mount. With the government struggling, local | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
institutions have had to step in to do what they can, and as I found | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
out, local churches have been playing their part. My report does | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
have some images which you may find disturbing. A place for prayer, now | :10:40. | :10:46. | |
a place for sanctuary. Super Typhoon Haiyan blew open the doors of the | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
church, and the parishioners walked in, grieving and homeless. This is | :10:51. | :10:58. | |
now the space they call home. The Father is like the good Shepherd | :10:59. | :11:00. | |
with his flock. He never doubted this was what he should do. Not only | :11:01. | :11:12. | |
do we do the sacraments, but we have to save the lives of people. Six | :11:13. | :11:19. | |
days on, he has not seen any official aid here. He does not blame | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
his parishioners for what many have described as looting. For me, what | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
they did was moral, it was not immoral, because that is their basic | :11:29. | :11:36. | |
need. When they are looting the shops, the groceries, they want to | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
live. For me, it is not a sin. In total, there are more than 300 | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
families here, nearly 2000 people. Unlike some of her neighbours, no | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
correct's family, three generations of it, survived the typhoon intact. | :11:52. | :11:58. | |
They described how they learn to each other on a neighbour's roof. | :11:59. | :12:04. | |
All around them, there are families with similar stories. Tita said she | :12:05. | :12:10. | |
would take me to her home, just a five-minute walk away. She had lived | :12:11. | :12:16. | |
in the house for 20 years, and in the area for more than double that. | :12:17. | :12:25. | |
So, your house was just behind the big house? TRANSLATION: We felt all | :12:26. | :12:36. | |
alone in that time after the water came in. We were asking and asking | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
but it seemed nobody was around to help. We needed help with our | :12:40. | :12:46. | |
children and our house. Were no doctors around, and there was no | :12:47. | :12:48. | |
food. There will be four masses this | :12:49. | :13:01. | |
Sunday, as usual. That is one thing that has stayed the same, although | :13:02. | :13:04. | |
all around them, the world is upside down. Now, one last thought, there | :13:05. | :13:10. | |
is a continuing argument here about just how many people have died. The | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
government here says it could be anything between 2000 - 3000, and | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
the United Nations has gone up to 10,000. The truth is, I think it is | :13:20. | :13:24. | |
very difficult for anybody to know. You have only got to walk around the | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
city to see that very little of it has been systematically cleared or | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
surveys. The truth is, what is important now is the survivors. As | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
you saw in my report, some people have not had aid for six days, and | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
if that aid does not get to them, and quickly, they are going to be | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
weaker, they are going to be sick, which could lead to even more | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
deaths. If you want any more details, you can go to our website. | :13:51. | :14:01. | |
That is it from Tacloban. Back to you. | :14:02. | :14:11. | |
The Government has strongly criticised a report that said the | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
death of a four- year-old boy starved to death by his mother could | :14:16. | :14:18. | |
not have been predicted. Hamzah Khan's body was found in his cot | :14:19. | :14:21. | |
almost two years after he died. Amanda Hutton was jailed for 15 | :14:22. | :14:24. | |
years last month, after being found guilty of manslaughter and cruelty. | :14:25. | :14:34. | |
Hamzah Khan was starved to death. Amanda Hutton hit the abuse from all | :14:35. | :14:45. | |
the agencies and for 21 months, kept her son's lifeless body in her home. | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
The death of any child is a tragedy. Those behind the review, said the | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
four-year-old was invisible but did not accept lame. Concerns were | :14:55. | :15:00. | |
raised by neighbours and lease. Is this a credible document? -- police. | :15:01. | :15:10. | |
My whole career is dependent on my independence. One report in the | :15:11. | :15:16. | |
government said the report is rubbish. | :15:17. | :15:30. | |
The father of Hamzah Khan, separated from Amanda Hutton, believes that | :15:31. | :15:40. | |
the authorities failed. Why were the children not picked up? They failed, | :15:41. | :15:48. | |
big-time. Nobody chased anything up. Amanda Hutton was jailed for 15 | :15:49. | :15:55. | |
years for starving her son. The filth in the home has been cleared | :15:56. | :15:58. | |
but the horror cannot be scrubbed away. Inside their home, Amanda | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
Hutton would close the door on Hamzah Khan and leave him in a dark | :16:04. | :16:10. | |
room as punishment. Next door, neighbours could hear children | :16:11. | :16:13. | |
crying and shouting, but outside of these walls, this report shows that | :16:14. | :16:19. | |
police, social workers and health visitors failed to notice that the | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
four-year-old was dying. Because of that the government wants another | :16:25. | :16:32. | |
investigation. The child that waited for help that never came. The top | :16:33. | :16:40. | |
story: The UK recovery has taken hold according to the Bank of | :16:41. | :16:48. | |
England. Still to come: everybody sit down! I did not mean to make fun | :16:49. | :16:56. | |
of your hero! Oprah Winfrey talks politics and the president. Coming | :16:57. | :17:07. | |
up, Alex Ferguson's first-team coach has joined Fulham. He said they | :17:08. | :17:12. | |
share the same vision of how football should be played. | :17:13. | :17:20. | |
If you think you're already paying too much to heat your home we're | :17:21. | :17:23. | |
being warned that consumers face price rises for many more years to | :17:24. | :17:26. | |
come. And that's because more money is needed to fund new | :17:27. | :17:29. | |
infrastructure. The National Audit Office says energy and water bills | :17:30. | :17:32. | |
are set to rise faster than inflation for the next 17 years. | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
That would mean our combined energy and water bill could go up by 20% to | :17:38. | :17:40. | |
nearly ?2,000 by 2030. Our Industry Correspondent, John Moylan, reports. | :17:41. | :17:54. | |
We are facing years of rising bills to upgrade gas and electricity | :17:55. | :18:00. | |
networks. According to the spending watchdog, the government does not | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
know how high the bills will go and whether we can afford them. We are | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
calling for the government to become better informed about the likely | :18:11. | :18:14. | |
cost and to do work to consider affordability. The considerations | :18:15. | :18:27. | |
they make should be well informed. Our utility bills are rising to pay | :18:28. | :18:30. | |
for upgrading our national infrastructure - new power plants - | :18:31. | :18:32. | |
gas pipelines and reservoirs. That will all cost around ?310 billion in | :18:33. | :18:40. | |
the coming years. The majority of that, more than two thirds, will be | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
paid by all of us through our bills. For energy alone we'll be paying at | :18:45. | :18:50. | |
least 18% more by 2030. Campaigners warn that could have a serious | :18:51. | :18:58. | |
impact on those with low incomes. The alarm bells are starting to ring | :18:59. | :19:04. | |
in government, but it horrifies me that here we are with bills having | :19:05. | :19:12. | |
gone up so much, 140% since 2005. We are now hearing that the government | :19:13. | :19:16. | |
is not aware of the affordable implications of this. The government | :19:17. | :19:21. | |
insists that energy efficiency measures will keep costs down and | :19:22. | :19:26. | |
that the energy prices are amongst the lowest in Europe was there is no | :19:27. | :19:33. | |
denying that will rise. We have not seen investment in the | :19:34. | :19:35. | |
infrastructure and we need to replace power stations, transmission | :19:36. | :19:41. | |
and distribution lines. This is essential investment, it is not | :19:42. | :19:47. | |
luxurious investment. That will come at a cost. That cost could be | :19:48. | :19:53. | |
higher. This week, a report said tariffs could rise by 50%. The | :19:54. | :20:04. | |
racing pundit John McCririck has lost his age discrimination | :20:05. | :20:06. | |
employment tribunal case against Channel four. The 73-year-old who | :20:07. | :20:11. | |
had appeared on Channel four Racing for 29 years argued that he was | :20:12. | :20:14. | |
sacked by the broadcaster because of his age. But an employment tribunal | :20:15. | :20:22. | |
panel unanimously ruled against him, accepting the broadcaster's argument | :20:23. | :20:25. | |
that its aim in replacing Mr McCririck was to bring horse racing | :20:26. | :20:28. | |
to a wider audience. Emergency care services in England could undergo | :20:29. | :20:31. | |
major reforms which would see the introduction of a two-tier accident | :20:32. | :20:34. | |
and emergency system. The review, by NHS England, proposes the biggest | :20:35. | :20:36. | |
accident and emergency departments deal with heart attacks, strokes and | :20:37. | :20:41. | |
major trauma. Smaller hospital units would treat less serious conditions. | :20:42. | :20:46. | |
There are also plans to enhance the role of paramedics and the 111 phone | :20:47. | :20:49. | |
service as our health correspondent Dominic Hughes reports. | :20:50. | :20:57. | |
The A at Bradford Royal infirmary is one of the busiest in the country | :20:58. | :21:01. | |
with 400 patients name average day. Like every emergency department, | :21:02. | :21:08. | |
attendances are increasing. The starting point is to treat people | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
closer to home with an enhanced 111 phone line which can issue | :21:14. | :21:16. | |
prescriptions and make appointments. There should be more highly skilled | :21:17. | :21:22. | |
ambulance crews. If it is more serious, you may be advised to go to | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
an urgent care centre. If you require hospitals, you may need to | :21:27. | :21:34. | |
go to an emergency centre. If you are seriously ill, suffering a heart | :21:35. | :21:38. | |
attack for example, you will be sent to a major emergency centre. The | :21:39. | :21:46. | |
frail and elderly make up a majority of patients being admitted to A | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
across the country. In Bradford they are trying new ways to deal with | :21:51. | :21:57. | |
older patients. The key issues are too rapidly diagnose what the | :21:58. | :22:00. | |
problem is and then inshore that those who need to stay will stay. -- | :22:01. | :22:08. | |
N Shaw. This review of emergency care warns there is no simple | :22:09. | :22:14. | |
solution to the crisis but that kind of ideas they are trying in Bradford | :22:15. | :22:20. | |
to relieve pressure on hard-pressed emergency departments and the good | :22:21. | :22:25. | |
for as well. This is the kind of scheme that the review wants to see | :22:26. | :22:31. | |
more of. A team from Bradford come to see this 88-year-old and his wife | :22:32. | :22:35. | |
in their home, keeping him out of hospital. You do not get that | :22:36. | :22:41. | |
special care, especially with the nurses coming in. They are | :22:42. | :22:48. | |
wonderful, 24 hour care. These are reforms that will take five years to | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
implement and senior doctors are warning of a system in crisis right | :22:53. | :22:57. | |
now. If we do not address this crisis in the UK then we will not be | :22:58. | :23:02. | |
able to continue to provide safe and effective care. This will be the | :23:03. | :23:08. | |
most far reaching reorganisation of NHS services in many years. The | :23:09. | :23:13. | |
current system may not be broken but it cannot go on. | :23:14. | :23:16. | |
This painting by Francis Bacon of his friend and fellow artist Lucian | :23:17. | :23:19. | |
Freud has become the most expensive piece of art ever sold at auction. | :23:20. | :23:26. | |
It fetched ?89 million after just six minutes of bidding at Christie's | :23:27. | :23:34. | |
in New York. It eclipses the price paid for one of Edvard Munch's | :23:35. | :23:37. | |
series of paintings called "The Scream" which HAD been the most | :23:38. | :23:40. | |
expensive painting sold at auction after it fetched ?74 million last | :23:41. | :23:51. | |
year. She's the most powerful black woman in the world and now the | :23:52. | :23:54. | |
American broadcaster and actress Oprah Winfrey has accused some of | :23:55. | :23:57. | |
President Obama's detractors of not just 'disrespecting' him but also | :23:58. | :24:00. | |
his office because of the colour of his skin. The media mogul is in the | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
UK to promote her new film The Butler in which she plays the wife | :24:05. | :24:07. | |
of a White House butler played by Forest Whitaker. She's been talking | :24:08. | :24:10. | |
to our Arts Editor Will Gompertz. Are you political? No, sir. | :24:11. | :24:17. | |
Forest Whitaker is a character who becomes a butler to a president. His | :24:18. | :24:29. | |
wife is played by Oprah Winfrey. You are? I am well. She told me that | :24:30. | :24:38. | |
taking on the role was a risk. I did not want to embarrass myself. I was | :24:39. | :24:44. | |
going through lots of criticism and I could just hear, you know, in my | :24:45. | :24:47. | |
mind, people saying that I should have kept my day job. So I was | :24:48. | :24:59. | |
worried, to an extent, not being able to measure up to the moment. | :25:00. | :25:05. | |
Oprah Winfrey has been a supporter of Obama and thinks that he has been | :25:06. | :25:12. | |
treated with contempt because of the colour of his skin. There is a level | :25:13. | :25:19. | |
of disrespect to the office that occurs, and that occurs, in some | :25:20. | :25:25. | |
cases, because he is African-American. There is no | :25:26. | :25:28. | |
question about that. It is the kind of thing that nobody says that | :25:29. | :25:35. | |
everybody is thinking it. The film is set against the political | :25:36. | :25:38. | |
backdrop of the American civil rights movement. Is it a story that | :25:39. | :25:48. | |
needs to be told today? Well, I think that the word important does | :25:49. | :25:55. | |
not define it. I think it is essential that the world understands | :25:56. | :26:06. | |
what the history and legacy of slavery and the civil rights | :26:07. | :26:18. | |
movement is and what it has meant to African-American people. We saw a | :26:19. | :26:24. | |
wonderful movie the other night that reminded me of you. She has made | :26:25. | :26:28. | |
aliens as a media mogul but says acting brings her pleasure. She | :26:29. | :26:34. | |
suggests that this will not be her final performance. | :26:35. | :26:39. | |
Time for a look at the weather... Here's Darren Bett. We are not | :26:40. | :26:46. | |
expecting a frost and that is because there will be some wet | :26:47. | :26:47. | |
weather around to expecting a frost and that is | :26:48. | :26:49. | |
because there will be some wet night which is being driven around by | :26:50. | :26:54. | |
lively winds. The winds will turn more westerly as the night goes on. | :26:55. | :27:00. | |
Showers will fall, heavy and prolonged for a while. Gales are | :27:01. | :27:05. | |
likely in the North West, possibly severe gales. Because of the | :27:06. | :27:12. | |
stronger winds, temperatures will not feel as low. Some sunshine | :27:13. | :27:17. | |
around tomorrow, and the showers blowing in off the westerly winds. | :27:18. | :27:23. | |
As we went through the afternoon, the showers tend to fade away more | :27:24. | :27:26. | |
and more and there is a good chance of staying dry across south Wales | :27:27. | :27:32. | |
and the south-west of England. It should dry off through the Midlands | :27:33. | :27:35. | |
and we will have sunny spells across East Anglia and the South East of | :27:36. | :27:40. | |
England. Much of northern England will be dry and sunny. Some showers | :27:41. | :27:44. | |
across Northern Ireland and the West Coast of Scotland, and they could be | :27:45. | :27:51. | |
wintry showers. Those showers are fading away in the afternoon as we | :27:52. | :27:55. | |
find this ridge of high pressure building in. Where we have the | :27:56. | :28:02. | |
showers, there is a risk of a touch of frost on Thursday night. A chilly | :28:03. | :28:10. | |
start to Friday with eastern areas generally dry. Further west, there | :28:11. | :28:15. | |
will be more cloud while the rain comes into northern Scotland. Nine | :28:16. | :28:20. | |
or 10 degrees and we will keep those temperatures through the weekend. | :28:21. | :28:24. | |
Outbreaks of rain on Saturday in Scotland, sinking slowly southwards | :28:25. | :28:29. | |
on Sunday, but ushering in cold air week with snow mainly in the north. | :28:30. | :28:36. | |
That's all from the BBC News at Six so it's goodbye from me and on | :28:37. | :28:38. |
