:00:10. > :00:15.official watchdog. It warns that delays are not being recorded

:00:16. > :00:22.properly and patients failed - critics say the figures are being

:00:23. > :00:27.fudged. People's jobs depend on these data looking right. The tar

:00:28. > :00:32.gets are clear and the pressure to get the numbers where they should be

:00:33. > :00:36.is very strong. We'll be asking what this says about the pressures on the

:00:37. > :00:39.NHS. Also tonight: Guilty - the woman who disguised herself in a

:00:40. > :00:41.Muslim veil before attacking her friend with acid - her victim,

:00:42. > :00:53.21-year-old Naomi Oni, is scarred for life. Crime falls to its lowest

:00:54. > :00:56.level in more than 30 years. The singer Justin Bieber is arrested

:00:57. > :00:59.after racing his Lamborghini in Miami Beach - he's suspected of

:01:00. > :01:01.driving under the influence of drink and drugs.

:01:18. > :01:19.And the family of a schoolboy who died after taking ecstasy criticise

:01:20. > :01:36.the 'pocket money' cost of drugs. Good evening and welcome to the BBC

:01:37. > :01:40.News at Six. Waiting times are one of the key targets for the NHS in

:01:41. > :01:44.England - now the National Audit Office says figures being published

:01:45. > :01:47.by some hospitals are unreliable. The waiting times relate to

:01:48. > :01:54.non-emergency operations like hip and knee replacements. The Patients'

:01:55. > :01:57.Association warned that fudging the figures diverts attention from

:01:58. > :02:03.providing high quality care. Our health correspondent, Branwen

:02:04. > :02:07.Jeffreys, has more. Every year millions of people have routine

:02:08. > :02:13.operations. They go on a waiting list and wait for the appointment,

:02:14. > :02:18.expecting the NHS to live up to the promise of treating them quickly.

:02:19. > :02:24.That hasn't happened for Sue. On the waiting list since last March, she

:02:25. > :02:31.still is struggling with a sore hip. Then she got a date and her son

:02:32. > :02:36.booked time off work to look after her and she went to wait her turn. I

:02:37. > :02:42.was asked to lie down and stay in the bed, not to move and until I was

:02:43. > :02:47.taken to theatre. Hours later, the operation was cancelled, the

:02:48. > :02:53.hospital didn't have the right part. I find it distressing, because I'm

:02:54. > :02:58.thinking it is going to be even more difficult getting back to normal

:02:59. > :03:05.once I have had the operation the longer the waiting goes on. How do

:03:06. > :03:09.we know how many patients fit the rules for waiting times in England?

:03:10. > :03:14.The waiting time clocks starts when your GP decides to refer you for

:03:15. > :03:20.treatment like an operation and for most people it should stop by 18

:03:21. > :03:25.weeks. It keeps ticking through any preoperation appointments and tests.

:03:26. > :03:29.But sometimes it gets paused or reset and it is clear hospitals are

:03:30. > :03:34.interpreting the rules in different ways to do that. It is only meant to

:03:35. > :03:41.happen for good medical reasons. Or when you have been offered two dates

:03:42. > :03:46.and turned them down. Today's report found patients don't know their

:03:47. > :03:50.rights on waiting. A detailed analysis of hundreds of records

:03:51. > :03:55.found less than half were accurate. More of the mistakes recorded

:03:56. > :04:00.patients waiting less time than they had. Helping the hospitals meet

:04:01. > :04:05.their targets. We have a set up that is going to produce this result,

:04:06. > :04:09.because people's jobs depend on the data looking right. The targets are

:04:10. > :04:14.clear and the pressure to get the numbers where they should be is very

:04:15. > :04:19.strong. NHS managers say waiting times have come down and the

:04:20. > :04:25.mistakes in records are not hiding a bigger problem. There no suggestion

:04:26. > :04:29.at the scene mis-record rgs -- there is no suggestion that the mis-record

:04:30. > :04:34.rgs deliberate. Hospitals are working to treat people quickly and

:04:35. > :04:40.patients are getting better care than they used to. The Health

:04:41. > :04:43.Secretary volunteers regularly in hospitals and has been speaking

:04:44. > :04:47.about patients having a named doctor, but didn't want to talk

:04:48. > :04:51.about waiting times. Labour says the report raises questions, but

:04:52. > :04:58.ministers say fewer patients are facing very long waits. And our

:04:59. > :05:04.correspondent joins me now. It was distressing for that patient in your

:05:05. > :05:07.report, what does it say in the bigger picture? If you're an

:05:08. > :05:13.individual patient,ivity is a stress -- it is a stressful time waiting

:05:14. > :05:20.for that letter to arrive with your appointment. But this report says it

:05:21. > :05:24.is annish queue for the system and is a measure of the quality the NHS

:05:25. > :05:28.offers to patients and part of the promise is to see them quickly. We

:05:29. > :05:36.know that pressures are building and the financial pressures are build

:05:37. > :05:41.ing. And for the NHS to keep on treating people quickly, it needs to

:05:42. > :05:48.have accurate information and know it can rely on the figures. Thank

:05:49. > :05:51.you. A young woman's been convicted of throwing acid in the face of a

:05:52. > :05:54.friend - leaving her scarred for life. Mary Konye disguised herself

:05:55. > :06:02.in a Muslim veil before attacking 21-year-old Naomi Oni in east London

:06:03. > :06:05.just over two years ago. From Snaresbrook Crown Court, Daniel

:06:06. > :06:09.Boettcher reports. Naomi Oni before the attack that changed her life and

:06:10. > :06:14.here after acid had been thrown at her, blistering her face, hand and

:06:15. > :06:20.thigh. My face was black, my eyes were swollen. I was terrified. This

:06:21. > :06:26.interview was recorded just over a month after the attack. That the

:06:27. > :06:30.time she was unaware that the person who had done this to her was her

:06:31. > :06:37.friend. That person failed, whatever their aim was, they failed and God

:06:38. > :06:42.has gave me a life for a reason. She was attacked late at night on her

:06:43. > :06:45.way home from work in London, travelling train and then bus, she

:06:46. > :06:50.believed she was on her own. In fact, she was being followed. Naomi

:06:51. > :06:56.Oni got off and felt a presence behind her. When she turned she saw

:06:57. > :07:03.a figure in a black veil staring at her. She then felt the acid being

:07:04. > :07:06.thrown into her face and ran home screaming. The figure she hadn't

:07:07. > :07:09.recognised, the woman responsible for the injuries, was her friend,

:07:10. > :07:13.21-year-old Mary Konye. The court heard she carried out the attack out

:07:14. > :07:20.of jealousy and revenge, because Naomi Oni once called her an ugly

:07:21. > :07:27.monster. This CCTV footage shows Mary Konye following her friend.

:07:28. > :07:31.Phone records showed she was there and had talked to others and talked

:07:32. > :07:37.about getting acid and throwing it at Naomi. All evidence that led to

:07:38. > :07:42.the guilty verdict. The result today will give Naomi Oni some comfort,

:07:43. > :07:46.but she is never going to be away from the fact that she is scarred.

:07:47. > :07:50.Every time she looks in the mirror she will be reminded of the fact,

:07:51. > :07:57.but it will enable her to start to get some closure. Naomi Oni left

:07:58. > :08:01.court supported by her family. Mary Konye will be sentenced in March

:08:02. > :08:07.with the judge warning she faces a substantial prison term. A day after

:08:08. > :08:10.the latest figures showed unemployment coming down faster than

:08:11. > :08:12.many had expected David Cameron says he is determined that the recovery

:08:13. > :08:15.will benefit everyone - north and south. Speaking to our Business

:08:16. > :08:18.Editor Robert Peston at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland - he

:08:19. > :08:30.warned that it would take time before people felt the recovery in

:08:31. > :08:35.their pockets. They come from all Ove the world -- over the world to

:08:36. > :08:44.the top of a Swiss mountain. The rich, the powerful, not to see, but

:08:45. > :08:48.they say to solve the world's problems. But the problems don't

:08:49. > :08:51.seem as severe as they have, because there is a strengthening economic

:08:52. > :08:58.recovery, not only in prince, but also -- Britain, but also in America

:08:59. > :09:02.and much of the world. We seem to be eper thing a period of economic

:09:03. > :09:07.recovery for the first time since the banking crisis. Do you think we

:09:08. > :09:11.can have confidence that will go on? I think we can be confident, as long

:09:12. > :09:15.as we tackle the problems that let to -- led to the difficulty and

:09:16. > :09:24.getting our deficit down, mending broken banking systems, making sure

:09:25. > :09:31.recoveries are balanced. But as they sit here and drink champagne, in the

:09:32. > :09:37.lavish parties here, there is one thing they say profoundly troubles

:09:38. > :09:44.them. Which is that as we enjoy this relatively strong recovery, too many

:09:45. > :09:48.of the rewards are going to them and not enough to poorer people. This

:09:49. > :09:54.isn't just about the cost-of-living rising faster than earnings, in

:09:55. > :10:01.places like Britain. It is about a longer trend of a widening gap

:10:02. > :10:08.between the richest and poorest all over the word. When do you think

:10:09. > :10:12.people will be able to feel that the recovery is benefitting them in

:10:13. > :10:17.terms of their living standards? These things take time and we are

:10:18. > :10:22.recovering from the o' longest recession in living memory. And the

:10:23. > :10:27.recovery has come in jobs first and we saw the largest increase in

:10:28. > :10:31.employment since records began. But we are cutting taxes, so we are

:10:32. > :10:39.seeing signs in terms of take home pay. But it is going to take time. ?

:10:40. > :10:46.What more the International Monetary Fund isn't even sure the covery will

:10:47. > :10:51.last more than a year. It is a year of reform and adjustments and

:10:52. > :10:59.without those policies, I think we are facing another challenging year

:11:00. > :11:04.in 2015. The length of the recovery matters to all of us, although

:11:05. > :11:11.probably less to the superwealthy as they make their way home from this

:11:12. > :11:16.summit. Crime in England and Wales has fallen to its lowest level for

:11:17. > :11:20.more than three decades. The latest figures in the annual crime survey

:11:21. > :11:23.show a ten per cent drop in the year to last September. There's been a

:11:24. > :11:28.significant decrease in violent crime but the shoplifting and theft

:11:29. > :11:34.from the person has increased. Home Affairs Correspondent Tom Symonds

:11:35. > :11:38.reports. A high profile police operation today, the Metropolitan

:11:39. > :11:44.Police moving in on alleged domestic abusers. If you harass or stalk a

:11:45. > :11:49.partner, the police will not tolerate this. Tough talk, partly

:11:50. > :11:56.designed to reassure, because many of us simply can't believe crime is

:11:57. > :12:02.falling. Year after year, there has been a fall in #kr50i78 from a --

:12:03. > :12:07.crime from a high in the mid 90s. Today's crop of 10% shows the number

:12:08. > :12:17.of victims of crime is at the lowest since records began in 1981. This is

:12:18. > :12:22.a survey of more than 40,000 people. Violent crime was down 13%. But

:12:23. > :12:27.there were increases. Sexual crimes are up 17%. Partly due to victims

:12:28. > :12:32.coming forward after the Jimmy Savile scandal. Theft from the

:12:33. > :12:39.person without violence were up 7%. Shoplifting up 4%. So why is crime

:12:40. > :12:44.falling over all? That is because of many people, including the police,

:12:45. > :12:50.whose basic job is to cut crime and crime is falling. That is good news.

:12:51. > :12:55.Here is another reason - modern car security. They say however hard I

:12:56. > :13:00.hit it, it isn't going to break. That was eight years ago. Result -

:13:01. > :13:05.joy riding is no longer the starter crime it was. Offending is changing.

:13:06. > :13:11.Mobile phone theft in the street is a big problem, because houses are

:13:12. > :13:17.harder break into. When you break in, the goods don't have a high

:13:18. > :13:22.resale and so when people break in, they look for money and stuff that

:13:23. > :13:30.is small and can be easily sold or just spent. Crime is moving online.

:13:31. > :13:35.Including credit card fraud which isn't included in the figures. There

:13:36. > :13:40.are more criminals in prison and one theory, still a theory, after lead

:13:41. > :13:47.was Rae moved -- removed from petrol, crime fell. Perhaps pause

:13:48. > :13:53.because of the effect of exhaust fumes on the brain. A coroner has

:13:54. > :13:56.ruled that there were "lost opportunities" in the care and

:13:57. > :13:59.treatment of a four-year-old boy who died after heart surgery at Bristol

:14:00. > :14:01.Children's Hospital. Sean Turner died in March 2012 from a

:14:02. > :14:06.haemorrhage six weeks after he underwent heart surgery. At the

:14:07. > :14:10.inquest, his parents criticised the hospital and questioned whether

:14:11. > :14:15.enough lessons had been learnt from their son's death. A woman has told

:14:16. > :14:18.a court that the former Radio 1 DJ Dave Lee Travis indecently assaulted

:14:19. > :14:22.her while he was presenting a live programme. The woman, who was

:14:23. > :14:24.working for the BBC at the time, said her complaints were ignored by

:14:25. > :14:27.the Corporation when she reported them in the wake of the Jimmy Savile

:14:28. > :14:34.scandal. Mr Travis denies 13 counts of indecent assault and one of

:14:35. > :14:36.sexual assault. The singer Justin Bieber has been arrested on

:14:37. > :14:44.suspicion of racing his Lamborghini against a Ferrari driven by another

:14:45. > :14:48.pop star in Miami Beach. The driver of the other car, the singer Khalil,

:14:49. > :15:00.has also been arrested. Both are suspected of having been drunk at

:15:01. > :15:04.the time. Justin Bieber, one of the most photographed celebrities in the

:15:05. > :15:15.world, seen in a mug shot which will disappoint his fans. This is the

:15:16. > :15:20.scene, but moments later the teenage pop sensation's evening came to an

:15:21. > :15:25.end. These fans filmed it on their phone. Officers say he had been

:15:26. > :15:32.racing a friend and was driving at double the speed limit. We opened up

:15:33. > :15:37.the window and confronted Justin Beaver and he smelt of a strong

:15:38. > :15:40.alcoholic beverage. He was not cooperating with the officer's

:15:41. > :15:45.instructions and the officer asked him to exit the vehicle and he

:15:46. > :15:49.questioned why he was being stopped. Eventually he stepped out of the

:15:50. > :15:55.vehicle and would not follow instructions. The officer placed him

:15:56. > :16:01.under arrest. He was taken to a police station nearby where he had

:16:02. > :16:05.admitted he had had a beer, smoked marijuana and had taken prescription

:16:06. > :16:10.drugs. The singer was charged this morning with resisting arrest

:16:11. > :16:14.without violence, driving under the influence and having an out of date

:16:15. > :16:19.licence. The police report also says he swore repeatedly at the officer

:16:20. > :16:24.who pulled him over. The Canadian teenager shot to fame at the age of

:16:25. > :16:30.15 and became an overnight star with a huge and loyal following. Recently

:16:31. > :16:35.his erratic behaviour has seen him attract the wrong kind of headlines.

:16:36. > :16:40.Earlier this month, police raided the singer 's mad cows in California

:16:41. > :16:44.after neighbours complained eggs had been thrown at them from his

:16:45. > :16:48.property. Drugs were found during the search. The singer is due to

:16:49. > :16:54.appear before the judge later today. He faces up to six months in

:16:55. > :17:03.jail, a fine and community service if found guilty. The time is nearly

:17:04. > :17:07.17 minutes past six. Our top story: The health watchdog has branded some

:17:08. > :17:11.NHS waiting times as unreliable and says patients are being failed. And

:17:12. > :17:15.more missed targets for Man U. Yesterday it was the League Cup,

:17:16. > :17:24.today the club is no longer among Europe's top earners. Later on BBC

:17:25. > :17:30.London: Chew bosses announced plans to beat next month's strike by

:17:31. > :17:35.bringing in volunteer workers. And the London surgeons pioneering new

:17:36. > :17:44.treatment for sufferers of deep vein thrombosis. The storms that battered

:17:45. > :17:47.Britain's coastline this month did not just cause damage to its seaside

:17:48. > :17:50.resorts, they changed its physical geography. One four-mile stretch of

:17:51. > :17:55.coastline in Wales was so altered by the waves that it has been pushed

:17:56. > :17:58.back 50 feet. But the changes have unearthed some interesting

:17:59. > :18:12.surprises. Jeremy Cooke reports from Tywyn. The West Coast of Wales,

:18:13. > :18:16.pounded by a new year storm, powerful enough to stop the trains,

:18:17. > :18:22.and to change the landscape revealing a lost history. Tywyn

:18:23. > :18:30.beach is stripped of sand and covering the remains of an historic

:18:31. > :18:35.forest, emerging into the light after being buried literally for

:18:36. > :18:39.ages. A thick layer of peat from the ancient forest floor. Perhaps the

:18:40. > :18:45.most remarkable thing I things like this, totally recognisable trees,

:18:46. > :18:57.lying where they fell thousands of years ago. Here we can see how big

:18:58. > :19:02.the tree stumps were, we get a much clearer picture of what the ancient

:19:03. > :19:06.landscape was like. Would the peat beds, a mystery, clearly they have

:19:07. > :19:12.been carefully excavated, but where the locals digging for fuel or was

:19:13. > :19:16.this a medieval fish trap? New questions and new discoveries for

:19:17. > :19:22.those who walk this beach every day. It is completely different, it is

:19:23. > :19:26.not what you would expect to find on a beach. People do not associate a

:19:27. > :19:31.beach with woods and forests and that is what we are standing on. And

:19:32. > :19:35.a glimpse of another slice of history, tracks cut into the peat so

:19:36. > :19:41.clear it could have been made yesterday. But this war veteran

:19:42. > :19:47.knows different. He was stationed here preparing amphibious tanks for

:19:48. > :19:54.D-day and beyond. Those are made by a vehicle or a water buffalo and

:19:55. > :19:59.those cuts, as the trap went round, they propelled the vehicle through

:20:00. > :20:03.the water. The tides here are already at work and history so

:20:04. > :20:10.dramatically revealed will soon be buried once again, lost to the sand

:20:11. > :20:11.and the sea. The number of secondary schools in England classed as

:20:12. > :20:15.underperforming has fallen according to the latest league tables. 154

:20:16. > :20:18.state-funded schools out of over 3000 are now deemed to be below

:20:19. > :20:28.standard, that is 61 fewer than last year. Our education correspondent

:20:29. > :20:34.Reeta Chakrabarti is here. An awful lot of numbers, how significant are

:20:35. > :20:38.they? The government is pleased with these results. They show an

:20:39. > :20:42.improvement on the previous year and over a longer period, so the

:20:43. > :20:46.Education Secretary Michael Gove is saying today the number of children

:20:47. > :20:51.in underperforming schools has fallen by nearly a quarter of a

:20:52. > :20:55.million since 2010 and he has praised teachers for helping

:20:56. > :21:00.children. At the moment schools are judged on how many of their pupils

:21:01. > :21:05.get five good GCSEs, above grade C, over a period of time. This year for

:21:06. > :21:13.the first time schools are being given a grade, A, B, C, D, and that

:21:14. > :21:17.will represent the average of what children obtain in their best eight

:21:18. > :21:22.subjects. It is going to be the main indicator of how a school does in a

:21:23. > :21:26.few years time and its purpose is to stop schools from concentrating on

:21:27. > :21:30.children who are a borderline C, often ministers feel at the expense

:21:31. > :21:33.of weaker or more able pupils. The Ukrainian President, Victor

:21:34. > :21:36.Yanukovych, has asked for an emergency session of Parliament

:21:37. > :21:39.after two people died in mass protests in the capital Kiev. He

:21:40. > :21:41.said the session, to be held next week, would be in addition to

:21:42. > :21:45.negotiations with opposition leaders. Earlier, the European

:21:46. > :21:47.Commission said it had been assured by President Yanukovych that he did

:21:48. > :21:56.not intend to introduce emergency rule. Car production in the UK has

:21:57. > :22:00.hit a six-year high with a car rolling off a production line every

:22:01. > :22:04.20 seconds. More than 1.5 million cars left the factory last year and

:22:05. > :22:13.the vast majority, 80%, were exported. Our industry correspondent

:22:14. > :22:18.John Moylan reports. Built in Britain, but destined for the world.

:22:19. > :22:24.This plant in Solihull has never been busier, meeting growing demand

:22:25. > :22:29.at home and from America and amongst the growing middle classes of Asia.

:22:30. > :22:33.We never stop investing in our people and retaining our skills and

:22:34. > :22:38.we never stop investing in research for the future. When the recession

:22:39. > :22:43.finally started to come to an end we were able to hit the ground running.

:22:44. > :22:49.It is a mark of the success of Jaguar Land Rover that this plant

:23:02. > :23:01.is part of the reason why in 2013 UK car production

:23:02. > :23:05.group@aroundthreepercent.UK plants made more than 1.5 million cars, the

:23:06. > :23:11.best performance in six years. But there were losers as well. The

:23:12. > :23:16.number of cars coming off the production line of Vauxhall's

:23:17. > :23:23.Ellesmere plant have fallen. The slump in the European market has hit

:23:24. > :23:29.demand. Some companies operating in that market can do very well, but

:23:30. > :23:33.what we are seeing is Vauxhall and Honda not doing very well and that

:23:34. > :23:38.comes down to the combination of a market being in a bad position, but

:23:39. > :23:43.they have relatively weak products. Back in the Midlands one local

:23:44. > :23:50.supplier is expanding from here to hear tents to Jaguar Land Rover's

:23:51. > :23:55.success. It plans to hire another 400 staff. This is a huge investment

:23:56. > :23:59.for us, but that is linked in with Jaguar Land Rover and the investment

:24:00. > :24:05.we have made to plan for the future and Coke for the new model lines

:24:06. > :24:10.coming through. 80% of UK made cars are exported, so we are exposed to

:24:11. > :24:15.economic changes worldwide, but the industry believes it could hit

:24:16. > :24:19.record levels by 2017. They are out of both Cups, adrift in the Premier

:24:20. > :24:22.league, and have only the Champions League to save their season,

:24:23. > :24:26.although even the most optimistic Manchester United fan will admit

:24:27. > :24:30.that is a long shot. Today the club dropped out of the top three highest

:24:31. > :24:37.earners in Europe, but it is also on the verge of a record signing.

:24:38. > :24:46.It was a night which summed up this season. With a Wembley final at

:24:47. > :24:52.stake Manchester united's nerve crumbled in truly spectacular

:24:53. > :24:57.fashion, in one of the worst penalty shoot outs in memory. It handed

:24:58. > :25:02.Sunderland victory and United's critics and other field day. As Sir

:25:03. > :25:07.Alex Ferguson watched on, his successor could only reflect on

:25:08. > :25:14.another grim result. We did not play well last night dashed tonight, and

:25:15. > :25:21.we did not get it in the end. But that is football and we will get on

:25:22. > :25:26.with it. But the Reds had a horrible case of the January loose. First

:25:27. > :25:35.loss against and then a defeat ending their Premier league hopes

:25:36. > :25:40.and last night and end of league and Trophy. The only good news is the

:25:41. > :25:47.prospect of signing Juan Mata for a record ?37 million. Last minute they

:25:48. > :25:58.scored that goal and they could have won. Shocking, shocking, confidence

:25:59. > :26:03.at an all-time low. They are missing a whole midfield and defence. But

:26:04. > :26:08.United's rivals are catching them off the pitch as well. It is the

:26:09. > :26:16.first time ever they have dropped out of the top three of Europe's

:26:17. > :26:23.biggest earning clubs. Any downturn on the pitch if it is short-term it

:26:24. > :26:30.is nothing. If it goes into weeks and months and years, it will have

:26:31. > :26:36.an impact. Greater Manchester Police dialled 999 and asked to speak to

:26:37. > :26:42.Sir Alex Ferguson. They point out this is no emergency, but for United

:26:43. > :26:44.the pain is clean dashed clear to see. And that brings us to the

:26:45. > :26:55.weather. There is more wet weather to come.

:26:56. > :26:59.This has been the story today. This brought showery rain and then it

:27:00. > :27:04.brightened up quite nicely behind it. Then the clouds gathered out

:27:05. > :27:09.into the South West and that will bring rain overnight and into

:27:10. > :27:14.tomorrow. In the east it will feel pretty cold. The first signs of that

:27:15. > :27:21.are developing with clear skies overnight and dense part dashed

:27:22. > :27:28.patches of fog. In Scotland we could see some snow as it bumps into the

:27:29. > :27:31.cold air. We have also got an amber warning out for Somerset and that is

:27:32. > :27:37.because the river levels are extremely high and a further ten or

:27:38. > :27:43.20 millimetres of rain may well exacerbate the problems. In the east

:27:44. > :27:49.there is the fog in East Anglia. A wet start in Northern Ireland and

:27:50. > :27:56.gale force gusts of wins are likely. If we get freezing rain it

:27:57. > :28:01.will be treacherous on the roads. As the day continues the wet and windy

:28:02. > :28:06.weather pushes further inland. It will weaken as it moves into eastern

:28:07. > :28:14.areas, but it is a pretty dismal day. It will feel quite cold with

:28:15. > :28:18.that rain but there may be double figures in the South West. It is a

:28:19. > :28:24.quiet start to Saturday, but a line of showers starts to drift down from

:28:25. > :28:30.the North West. That clears on Saturday night and a cold night

:28:31. > :28:33.develops and the next area of low pressure starts to wind its way in

:28:34. > :28:41.from the Atlantic. More wet and windy weather to come. I can see you

:28:42. > :28:42.shaking your head. That is horrible. That is all from the BBC's News
