Scotland would have to give up some powers. A durable, successful | :00:15. | :00:23. | |
currency union requires some ceding of national sovereignty. We will | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
look at how both sides in the independence debate have reacted. | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
Also tonight: The stars of Coronation Street turn up to defend | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
actor William Roache. He's a perfect gentleman, one of them says. Red | :00:35. | :00:41. | |
Arrows pilot, Sean Cunningham, died after his ejector seat misfired. The | :00:42. | :00:48. | |
coralononer says the mechanism was "useless." Teaching under a tree in | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
Pakistan. Why aren't there enough classrooms when Britain gives | :00:53. | :00:58. | |
millions for education. Tonight, on BBC London. The Mayor explains why | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
he thinks the Met should have water cannon. And, how tens of thousands | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
of part-time workers could be helped by changes to travelcards. | :01:05. | :01:23. | |
Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six. The Bank of England | :01:24. | :01:30. | |
governor says an independent Scotland would have to give up some | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
powers if it wanted to keep the pound. Mark Carney used a speech in | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
Edinburgh to issue a warning about some of the challenges, citing the | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
eurozone crisis as an example of what could happen if the proper | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
arrangements are not in place first. Mr Carney said the bank would | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
implement whatever decision politicians reached if voters in | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
Scotland opted for independence. Here's our chief economic | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
correspondent, Hugh Pym. This report does have some flash photography. | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
Just another day for Scotland's voters, but this was a major | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
landmark in the fast moving debate over whether Scotland should become | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
an independent nation. At the heart of that debate is the economy. Into | :02:08. | :02:14. | |
it stepped the governor of the Bank of England, Mark Carney. This | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
morning, he met First Minister Alex Salmond, who said an independent | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
Scotland would keep the pound. How would it work? Over to the governor. | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
In a speech, he said a currency union between Scotland and the rest | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
of the UK would need joint supervision of banks and a sharing | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
of budget responsibilities and there were lessons from the eurozone. A | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
durable, successful currency union requires some ceding of nation nal | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
vereignty. It's likely that similar institutional arrangements will be | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
necessary to support a monetary union between an independent | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
Scotland and the rest of the United Kingdom. Scotland would have to give | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
up some sovereignty. He said late per a currency union was what | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
governments wanted, he would make it work. The Bank of England, which is | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
an im artial technocratic institution would implement whatever | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
monetary arrangements were decided to the best of our ability. There is | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
no doubting the significance of the governor's visit to the heart of | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
Edinburgh's financial district to give his views on how a currency | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
union might work and how banks might be regulated in an independent | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
Scotland, including RBS which has its official headquarters right | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
here. The Scottish Government said there had been constructive talks | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
with Mr Carney. We had a splendid discussion we continued the | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
technical discussions that the Bank of England has been having with the | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
Scottish Government. Our proposals are soundly based on technical | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
terms. The pro-union campaign said the governor had undermined the | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
argument for leaving the UK. The nationalists say they want to get | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
rid of that, at the same time, reenter a currency union where they | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
will be told what to do in terms of tax and spending. That is a funny | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
form of independence if you end up with a situation where a a country | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
you have broken away from has the final say over what you can do. | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
Scottish businesses like this barber have to plan ahead. It has branchs | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
in Edinburgh and London and feels the uncertainty over the currency | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
isn't helpful. For us it's important we can concentrate where our | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
businesses is going and not worry about what is happening in either | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
down at Holyrood or Westminster that might affect us. There will be a lot | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
to negotiate if Scotland votes "yes", for that to happen, is in the | :04:37. | :04:43. | |
hands of the voters. Well, Brian Taylor, our Scotland political | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
editor, is at the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh. Brian, | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
listening to that report, both sides seems to suggest that the governor | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
supports their arrangement in the debate. The governor was stressing | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
he would work with whatever rises he was given a technocratic argument, | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
because of that both can find some meat in the speech. They say they | :05:07. | :05:13. | |
were ready for it with ideas, for example, on a common agreement, a | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
fiscal pact, they call it, to control debt, to control spending | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
and agree that between Edinburgh and London. It was intriguing that the | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
governor was at pains to stress that the best currency unions were those | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
that had strong control of tax and spending at the core and also | :05:29. | :05:36. | |
efficient banking union. He described the current banking unions | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
as working well. He contrasted it with the eurozone. It led the | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
critics of independence to say there will be upheaval of independence | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
without perhaps a measurable gain in freedom for Scotland and with risks. | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
As for the governor of the Bank of England Bank of England he stresses | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
the technical discussions will go on between the Scottish Government and | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
the bank and that they will deal with whatever rise, whatever the | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
politicians and the people decide. Brian, thank you very much. Some of | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
the stars of Coronation Street appeared at Preston court today as | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
defence witnesses for their fellow actor, William Roache, who plays Ken | :06:13. | :06:20. | |
Barlow. Anne Kirkbride, who plays his onscreen wife, Deirdre described | :06:21. | :06:29. | |
him as being "always a perfect gentleman." Mr Roache, who is | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
accused of rape and indecent assault denies all the charges. Judith | :06:36. | :06:42. | |
Moritz reports. They came to support their co-star William Roache, who is | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
on trial charged with two counts of rape and four of indecent assault. | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
He arrived, as he has every day, flanked by his family. I'll come to. | :06:50. | :06:58. | |
Did you say 1.00pm. Anne Kirkbride has been in Coronation Street since | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
1972. She plays William Roache's screen wife, Deirdre Barlow. Today | :07:05. | :07:06. | |
she stood in the witness box and said that if she could choose one | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
word to describe the actor it would be "lovely." She was asked, "you're | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
contact with him, in terms of a man and woman together, how did he | :07:16. | :07:21. | |
behave? ?" Impeccably, perfectly, he was always a perfect gentleman." | :07:22. | :07:30. | |
William Roache's onscreen son is Peter Barlow played by Chris | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
Gascoyne. He was asked how the rest of the cast saw the 81-year-old | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
actor. He said, "Bill sets the pris dent for everybody. He is decent to | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
everybody, kind to everybody and not a star." Is Helen Worth has played | :07:44. | :07:56. | |
ail for 4 o years. He was asked about his status. We looked up to | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
him. He was a father figure, an elder statesman. The court room was | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
packed as members of Coronation Street came to give their evidence. | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
Sitting in the dock William Roache seemed pleased to see them. William | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
Roache denies twos counts of rape and four of indecent assault. His | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
trial continues. Judith Moritz, BBC News, Preston. Hundreds of the most | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
vulnerable Syrian refugees are to be allowed to settle in the UK | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
temporarily, the Government has decided. This comes after criticism | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
from MPses of all parties who were disappointed when the Government | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
failed to join a UN-led scheme to help Syrians. At least | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
six-and-a-half million Syrians are homeless inside the country. There | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
are nearly two-and-a-half million registered refugees outside the | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
country, but officials believe many more are living, undocumented, in | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
communities throughout the region. Our deputy political editor, James | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
Landale, reports on the announcement and the reaction of Syrians already | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
living in Britain. This is the price of civil war. Millions of Syrians | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
fleeing to neighbouring countries in search of safety. While many have | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
received shelter, food and water, paid for by Britain, hundreds of the | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
most vulnerable will now also be able to seek refuge in Britain too. | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
The programme will focus on individual cases where evacuation | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
from the region is the only option. In particular, we will prioritise | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
help for survivors of torture and violence and women and children at | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
risk or in need of medical care. Britain has committed ?600 million | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
to help refugees in the region, more than any other country, except the | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
United States. It will work with the UN to identify several hundred of | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
the most traumatised refugees who will get temporary Visas. Germany | :09:48. | :09:55. | |
will take in 10,000 more and pledged ?300 million in aid. France has | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
committed ?75 million to help those on the ground. Theresa May acted in | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
part because of pressure from the Lib Dems and Labour. The Labour said | :10:06. | :10:15. | |
it was glad the Government was doing something. We can come together with | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
cross-party support for helping the most vulnerable Syrian refugees too. | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
Compassion and common sense has rerailed over the Government's | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
resistance last week. I met up with Syrians in London who said they | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
welcome the refugee announcement but... If the international | :10:35. | :10:37. | |
community don't take action now, I mean they will face millions of | :10:38. | :10:43. | |
refugees. It's better than nothing. But it is not enough. They should | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
support the people in Syria. The we can do is hope these actual promises | :10:48. | :10:53. | |
get implemented. The Government still believes it can do most | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
goodbye helping refugees on the ground. Ministers felt they were | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
getting on the wrong side of an argument, this he have acted. That | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
doesn't mean there are aren't some concerns in Whitehall and | :11:05. | :11:07. | |
Westminster about the potential impact on migration numbers. We | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
should limit this to hundreds and not thousands. Secondly, I wonder if | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
she would agree with me that we, as a Christian country, should be | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
prioritising those Christians beings persecuted in Syria? Some Syrian | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
refugees will come to Britain. But only some. Most will stay exactly | :11:26. | :11:31. | |
where they are. James Landale, BBC News, Westminster. The jury in the | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
Dave Lee Travis trial has been shown a video of the former Radio One DJ | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
visiting a hospital where he's alleged to have indecently assaulted | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
a woman. In the video, he's seen with his wife and a group of other | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
people during the visit to Hertford County Hospital in 1973. The DJ | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
claimed it proved he'd never been alone with the alleged victim. He | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
denies 13 counts of indecent assault and one of sexual assault. An | :11:58. | :12:06. | |
inquest into the death of a Red Arrows pilot, who was killed after | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
being ejected from a stationary plane, has criticised the RAF and | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
the company that made the ejector seat. Flight Lieutenant Sean | :12:14. | :12:16. | |
Cunningham, who was 35, was propelled several hundred feet into | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
the air at RAF Scampton in Lincolnshire in November 2011. Danny | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
Savage reports. In Lincolnshire today the Red Arrows were training | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
as usual. The team are now said to be stronger, safer and better. It | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
took the death of one of their own to get to this point. Sean | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
Cunningham died because he was failed by the RAF, the Ministry of | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
Defence and the company which made the ejector seat in his plane. It | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
has left his family bereft. We welcome the conclusion of the | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
coroner, which confirmed what we knew all along, which is that Sean | :12:52. | :13:04. | |
was blameless and his tragic death, excuse me, was preventible. The | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
34-year-old, who had flown combat missions in Iraq, was ejected from | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
his aircraft as he prepared for takeoff. This is a similar seat. The | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
coroner said a succession of personnel had missed 19chances to | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
spot that the firing handle was in an unsafe position. When Sean | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
Cunningham touched it, the seat went off. Even being ejected | :13:27. | :13:31. | |
unintentionally from his Red Arrows jet shouldn't have resulted in his | :13:32. | :13:37. | |
death. Cunningham died because of multiple injuries he received as he | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
crashed back into the ground with horrendous force. That was because | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
the parachute, built into his ejection seat, failed to open. The | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
seat is made by a company called Martin-Baker. They'd known for 20 | :13:51. | :13:58. | |
years that a single nut and bolt could cause problems with the | :13:59. | :14:01. | |
parachute, but didn't tell the Ralph. In light of this incident. | :14:02. | :14:06. | |
Lessons have been learnt we have taken steps to alert all our | :14:07. | :14:09. | |
customers worldwide who still use this type of seat. Such a warning is | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
far too late for what happened here. The coroner accused the company, who | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
make the seats for these jets, of a very serious failure of | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
communication. Not sending information that could have | :14:23. | :14:25. | |
prevented the death of one of these world-famous pilots. Danny Savage, | :14:26. | :14:34. | |
BBC News, Lincoln. The time is almost a quarter past six. Our top | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
story this evening. The governor of the Bank of England intervenes in | :14:40. | :14:42. | |
the debate on Scottish independence. Still to come: at last, an England | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
team celebrating their Ashes success Down Under. Later on BBC London. | :14:49. | :14:55. | |
City Hall's war of words with the Government over plans to make | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
lorries safer for cyclists. And, a pint of Essex best asses Prince | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
Charles and The Duchess of Cornwall raise a glass to the locals. | :15:04. | :15:15. | |
On the news at six we have often reported on classroom challenges in | :15:16. | :15:22. | |
the UK, but that is nothing compared to what some children around the | :15:23. | :15:28. | |
world face. The UN calls it a global education crisis. It says a quarter | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
of a billion children do not have basic skills in new Morrissey or | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
literacy. In Pakistan less than half the children can do maths or read, | :15:38. | :15:41. | |
despite millions of pounds of British aid for schools. As Aleem | :15:42. | :15:47. | |
Maqbool reports from Sindh province, some of those schools do not even | :15:48. | :15:50. | |
exist. Coming to the end of a hard day's | :15:51. | :15:56. | |
work. Devo should be at primary school. Instead he and his friends | :15:57. | :16:03. | |
have been up since dawn, harvesting sugar cane and carrying it to store. | :16:04. | :16:12. | |
Devo is not sure exactly how old he is and from what he told us he | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
barely understands the concept of what a school is. He is not the only | :16:18. | :16:24. | |
one. It appeared that farming around here was being done entirely by | :16:25. | :16:28. | |
young children. Everyone of them we spoke to said they knew no one who | :16:29. | :16:33. | |
was getting an education. Rashid at least knew what a school was. It is | :16:34. | :16:39. | |
my dream to go to school, he said, but since there is not one in this | :16:40. | :16:56. | |
area I will never be able to. In a province which has been given huge | :16:57. | :16:58. | |
sums of foreign aid for education, including tens of millions of pounds | :16:59. | :17:01. | |
from the British Government, why are so many children missing out from | :17:02. | :17:03. | |
schooling? This is the Government Girls Primary School, or at least it | :17:04. | :17:05. | |
would be if it was not for corruption. This is what is known | :17:06. | :17:11. | |
around here as a ghost school. Someone somewhere is getting | :17:12. | :17:14. | |
government funds for teachers and facilities, but it is not being | :17:15. | :17:18. | |
spent here and no children are benefiting. This is just one such | :17:19. | :17:25. | |
post-school among 22 in this area alone, one which unsurprisingly has | :17:26. | :17:30. | |
one of the lowest literacy rates in all of Pakistan. I know there are | :17:31. | :17:39. | |
certain lapses on the part of the officials, certain lapses on the | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
part of the teachers. The monitoring has to be improved. But many donors | :17:45. | :17:50. | |
like the UK's Department for International Development do now | :17:51. | :17:55. | |
fund projects directly. It is clear many Pakistanis have had enough of | :17:56. | :18:01. | |
their politicians' promises. Gul Mohammed, a teacher, set up class | :18:02. | :18:07. | |
under a tree offering free lessons. He has decided the only way to avoid | :18:08. | :18:10. | |
corruption is to do things in entirely by himself. But there are | :18:11. | :18:19. | |
not nearly enough people like him to help the millions of Pakistani | :18:20. | :18:22. | |
children who are currently being denied their futures. Aleem Maqbool, | :18:23. | :18:30. | |
BBC News in Sindh province. In the phone hacking trial a former | :18:31. | :18:34. | |
News of the World journalist has denied making false allegations | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
about the involvement of his former editor Andy Coulson. Dan Evans, who | :18:39. | :18:43. | |
has pleaded guilty to hacking voice mails, was being cross examined by | :18:44. | :18:49. | |
Mr Coulton's barrister at the Old Bailey. Mr Coulson and six other | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
defendants deny all the charges against them. This report contains | :18:55. | :18:59. | |
flash photography. The major police investigation that led to this trial | :19:00. | :19:04. | |
began in 2011, police raiding the homes of News International staff, | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
looking for evidence of phone hacking. | :19:09. | :19:11. | |
One of those arrested was reported Dan Evans, recruited he said to have | :19:12. | :19:18. | |
telephones, which left him carrying around an enormous secret, that he | :19:19. | :19:22. | |
was delving illegally into the lives of people who did not deserve it. | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
News International has admitted phone hacking, but was it done | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
secretly? Did Andy Coulson the editor know it was going on? Dan | :19:32. | :19:38. | |
Evans told the jury he tried to hide his activities. He said it was an | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
illegal activity. I did not necessarily want it to be an open | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
secret, but that is the way it became. A newspaper is a leaky | :19:49. | :19:59. | |
place. Timothy Langdale on behalf of Andy Coulson questioned him closely. | :20:00. | :20:02. | |
Why hide what he was doing if it was an open secret? The reporter said he | :20:03. | :20:05. | |
was embarrassed, conscious that what he was doing was wrong. But at one | :20:06. | :20:10. | |
point Dan Evans said Andy Coulson absolutely knows exactly what went | :20:11. | :20:16. | |
on on his watch. In fact, he said, the office cat knew. He said hacking | :20:17. | :20:21. | |
was discussed at the daily editorial conferences. Evans admitted he did | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
not attend these, but had been told by a colleague after he had been to | :20:27. | :20:32. | |
one. Timothy Langdale said, you are prone to making sweeping assertion | :20:33. | :20:37. | |
is not based on fact. Evans replied, that is not correct, though I | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
understand why you want people to believe that. Dan Evans pleaded | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
guilty to four offences including phone hacking and offered to help | :20:47. | :20:51. | |
police in the hope of a reduced sentence. Andy Coulson has always | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
denied the charges. It is expected the defence portion of the trial | :20:57. | :21:01. | |
will begin next week. The government's emergency committee | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
Cobra have been at a meeting to discuss the flooding crisis. David | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
Cameron called the situation unacceptable earlier today and said | :21:11. | :21:15. | |
rapid action is required. He has promised the rivers in Somerset will | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
be dredged when the current high level of water drops. An area of | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
about 40 square miles has been flooded since the storms began at | :21:25. | :21:29. | |
Christmas. Meanwhile, a helicopter has been ferrying in tonnes of stone | :21:30. | :21:34. | |
to plug a hole in a storm damaged coast in Gwynedd. Around 1000 acres | :21:35. | :21:40. | |
of farmland is flooded twice a day after the sea defences were breached | :21:41. | :21:44. | |
at the New Year. The banks are being dropped to create a temporary dam | :21:45. | :21:51. | |
before fears of a possible new storm surge this weekend. | :21:52. | :21:55. | |
At last England has some cricket news to celebrate. The women's team | :21:56. | :21:59. | |
have retained the Ashes by winning their latest match down under and | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
giving them an unbeatable lead in the series. From Hobart Katy Gornall | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
reports. Sun, sand and cricket. The setting | :22:10. | :22:15. | |
could not be more Australian, but in Hobart it was England's women | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
looking to bring the Ashes home. With two wins in the last two | :22:21. | :22:24. | |
matches, the momentum was with Australia. England needed a good | :22:25. | :22:32. | |
start to settle the nerves. One winner soon became too. But | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
Australia are the world champions in this format and when Aussie grid was | :22:37. | :22:42. | |
needed, up stepped their captain Meg Lanning. Next it was England's turn | :22:43. | :22:47. | |
to flex their muscle. They got off to a flying start, only interrupted | :22:48. | :22:53. | |
by some acrobatics of Australia's own. England have already let two | :22:54. | :22:57. | |
opportunities to clinch the series slip through their grasp and | :22:58. | :23:04. | |
Charlotte Edwards could not wait any longer. With Sarah Taylor beside the | :23:05. | :23:12. | |
she smashed an unbeaten 132. England made it look easy thanks to | :23:13. | :23:17. | |
Charlotte Edwards whose defiant innings saw England hauled | :23:18. | :23:20. | |
themselves over the line with two games left to play. To hit the | :23:21. | :23:25. | |
winning runs and to lead the team out here is a special feeling for me | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
as an individual, but most importantly for the players who have | :23:31. | :23:36. | |
worked so hard. Now English cricket can finally celebrate and Ashes win | :23:37. | :23:40. | |
down under. I wish we had some of those skies. | :23:41. | :23:44. | |
It is time for a look at the weather. | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
There was some sunshine on the Isle of sky and it was three degrees in | :23:50. | :23:57. | |
Hampstead in London. The easterly wind came in today and it brought | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
the chill. Tonight will be colder than it was last night and it will | :24:02. | :24:08. | |
not be dry. It was a dismal day across the South East and there will | :24:09. | :24:14. | |
be more rain in the and Wales. For the North might be some icy patches | :24:15. | :24:18. | |
and a touch of frost with wintry showers coming into eastern parts of | :24:19. | :24:23. | |
Scotland. Temperatures will not change a lot in the South East. The | :24:24. | :24:29. | |
rain will continue on and off tomorrow. In East Anglia it turns | :24:30. | :24:34. | |
wetter in the afternoon and also in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. The best | :24:35. | :24:39. | |
of the sunshine will be in western Scotland, but it will feel colder. | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
Wintry showers in the East of Scotland where we have a number of | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
flood warnings in Tayside in particular. It turns wetter across | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
Yorkshire and Lincolnshire and it is a dismal, gloomy day. It will be a | :24:55. | :25:02. | |
bit drier across Wales and in the South West. But it changes at the | :25:03. | :25:08. | |
end of the week. Another big area of low pressure is dragging in more | :25:09. | :25:13. | |
rain and wind. More gales on the western coast. There will be snow in | :25:14. | :25:20. | |
the hills of Scotland and briefly over the Pennines as well. The | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
temperatures will be on the rise. The rain will have the biggest | :25:25. | :25:30. | |
impact. An inch or possibly more. The weekend will be more of a windy | :25:31. | :25:36. | |
one, particularly on Saturday. There is a risk of coastal flooding in | :25:37. | :25:40. | |
Wales and the South West with some high tides. All the warnings are | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
online. A reminder of our main story: The | :25:46. | :25:51. | |
Bank of England Governor gives his views on sharing the pound with an | :25:52. | :25:59. | |
independent Scotland. That is all from the News at six, so it is | :26:00. | :26:00. |
