:00:15. > :00:25.conviction. Appearing on television at home in America, she says she'll

:00:26. > :00:31.never willingly return to Italy. I am going to fight this until the

:00:32. > :00:33.very end. And it is not right, and it is not fair.

:00:34. > :00:40.But Meredith Kercher's family say Knox should be extradited. I think

:00:41. > :00:47.we are still on the journey to the truth, and it may be the fact that

:00:48. > :00:50.we don't ever really know what happened that night.

:00:51. > :00:52.We'll look at how likely it is that Amanda Knox will be extradited from

:00:53. > :00:57.the US. Also tonight: Sandbags at the ready.

:00:58. > :01:00.Britain braces itself for more bad weather as the wind and rain returns

:01:01. > :01:04.for the weekend. The hidden horror of abuse in

:01:05. > :01:13.private schools. Hundreds of former pupils could sue for damages. We

:01:14. > :01:14.have a special report. That is it. And after Ashes humiliation, England

:01:15. > :01:24.part company with Andy Flower. Bob and Boris still poles apart, as

:01:25. > :01:27.next week's two-day Tube strike looms.

:01:28. > :01:50.Life in prison for the gang who killed a 16-year-old in Pimlico.

:01:51. > :01:55.Good Evening. Welcome to the BBC News at Six.

:01:56. > :01:57.The family of the murdered British student Meredith Kercher say they

:01:58. > :02:02.may never know what really happened to her when she died in Italy in

:02:03. > :02:05.2007. They were speaking after Italian judges reinstated the guilty

:02:06. > :02:10.verdicts against Amanda Knox and Rafaele Sollecito. Meredith

:02:11. > :02:13.Kercher's sister said said they were still on what they called "a journey

:02:14. > :02:19.for the truth" about what really went on in Perugia. Today Amanda

:02:20. > :02:22.Knox said she was going to fight until the very end any attempt to

:02:23. > :02:26.extradite her from the United States. Raffaele Sollecito, Amanda

:02:27. > :02:29.Knox's former boyfriend, was today banned from leaving Italy after

:02:30. > :02:34.being arrested by police close to the border. This report from Luisa

:02:35. > :02:46.Baldini contains some flash photography.

:02:47. > :02:50.Amanda, how do you feel about the guilty verdict. Refusing to show her

:02:51. > :02:54.face, let alone answer questions, Amanda Knox left her mother's house

:02:55. > :02:59.in Seattle following convictions -- the convictions, but was later at TV

:03:00. > :03:05.studios in New York where she gave an emotional but defiant interview.

:03:06. > :03:12.I will never go willingly back to the place where... I am going to

:03:13. > :03:19.fight this until the very end. And it is not right, and it is not fair.

:03:20. > :03:27.And I'm going to do everything I can. Granted, I need a lot of help.

:03:28. > :03:32.I can't do this on my own, and I can't help people understand this on

:03:33. > :03:38.my own. But it is in Italy that she stands accused of murdering Meredith

:03:39. > :03:42.Kercher, and in spite of claims that they did not get on, Amanda has

:03:43. > :03:45.always said they were friends. It was shortly before the murder that

:03:46. > :03:50.Amanda and Raffaele Sollecito started dating. Although he has been

:03:51. > :03:54.at some court hearings, it was not there for the verdicts, and these

:03:55. > :03:59.latest pictures show him leaving a police station in northern Italy

:04:00. > :04:02.near the border with Austria today. Police say they detained him and

:04:03. > :04:08.confiscated his passport. It is reported he may have been trying to

:04:09. > :04:13.flee. For Meredith's family, the verdicts are just another stage in a

:04:14. > :04:19.long process. We are still on the journey to the truth. And it may be

:04:20. > :04:24.the fact that we don't ever really know what happened that night, which

:04:25. > :04:29.is obviously something we will have to come to terms with. The verdicts

:04:30. > :04:35.reinstate the original convictions, based on the first trial in 2009. So

:04:36. > :04:39.what was the main evidence against Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito?

:04:40. > :04:41.The prosecution said that both the DNA of Amanda and Meredith was on

:04:42. > :04:48.the knife a believed to be the murder weapon and that Sollecito's

:04:49. > :04:52.DNA was on Meredith's bra clasps, although that evidence was

:04:53. > :04:56.contested. Her behaviour was also questioned, when Amanda and Raffaele

:04:57. > :05:01.Sollecito were seen kissing hours after the body was found, which was

:05:02. > :05:05.deemed suspicious. The prosecution always claimed that Amanda Knox,

:05:06. > :05:09.Raffaele Sollecito and a third man, Rudy Guede, still in prison for the

:05:10. > :05:14.crime, had been involved in a sex game that went wrong, but after

:05:15. > :05:17.appeal she was acquitted in 2011, and Amanda was immediately freed and

:05:18. > :05:24.allowed to return home to the United States. She will have no choice on

:05:25. > :05:30.this, because this legal process of the Italian, assuming the Italian

:05:31. > :05:35.Supreme Court confirms it, Amanda Knox will be facing an extradition

:05:36. > :05:42.process, an extradition hearing, I have no doubt. First, Amanda Knox,

:05:43. > :05:45.Raffaele Sollecito and the Kercher family will wait for the report to

:05:46. > :05:50.be published in 90 days giving the reasons for the convictions. Only

:05:51. > :05:53.then can they appeal. The next phase of the lengthy legal process to find

:05:54. > :05:58.definitive justice for Meredith Kercher.

:05:59. > :06:02.So as we've been hearing, Amanda Knox says she'll fight all attempts

:06:03. > :06:04.to send her back to Italy. Let's talk to our North America

:06:05. > :06:07.correspondent Nick Bryant. What likelihood is there that she will

:06:08. > :06:17.one day be extradited to face the courts once again in Italy? There

:06:18. > :06:22.are many Americans who regard Amanda Knox as the victim of a miscarriage

:06:23. > :06:26.of justice from a legal system they think is shambolic and medieval. The

:06:27. > :06:31.Court of opinion in America is firmly on her side. If America

:06:32. > :06:37.agreed to an extradition request, a legal process with layout. She would

:06:38. > :06:41.have her day in court and could contest her extradition. But if a

:06:42. > :06:45.judge said she had to go back to Italy, the decision would come back

:06:46. > :06:50.here to the state department, and legal considerations would be in

:06:51. > :06:53.play, but also political and diplomatic considerations.

:06:54. > :06:57.Politically, she has some powerful backers on Capitol Hill, public

:06:58. > :07:02.opinion is on her side. Diplomatically, does America want to

:07:03. > :07:06.anger arose and also jeopardise extradition requests for its own

:07:07. > :07:10.fugitives on American soil that it wants to bring back to America? It

:07:11. > :07:13.is a compensated process which could take years. I have just been

:07:14. > :07:17.speaking to a lawyer who said it is a real 50-50.

:07:18. > :07:21.The Met Office is warning of yet more flooding this weekend, as a

:07:22. > :07:24.band of heavy rain sweeps across the UK. Nine severe flood warnings are

:07:25. > :07:28.in place tonight with fears that coastal flood defences and sea walls

:07:29. > :07:31.could be breached. In Aberystwyth, hundreds of university students have

:07:32. > :07:37.been told to leave their sea-front accommodation because of fears for

:07:38. > :07:39.their safety. And in Somerset intense preparations are underway to

:07:40. > :07:43.protect already flooded stretches of the Somerset Levels. Jon Kay has

:07:44. > :07:52.spent the day there and has sent this report from the village of

:07:53. > :07:55.Burrowbridge. If you thought the weather forecast

:07:56. > :08:05.was depressing, spare a thought for James. Here we go again, just what

:08:06. > :08:10.we don't need. 90% of his farm is already underwater. This is all the

:08:11. > :08:15.farmland which should be nice green grass. With heavy rain falling

:08:16. > :08:21.again, James fears that things are about to get even worse. Stomach

:08:22. > :08:27.churning. You just ring, last time we had 30 millimetres of rain on the

:08:28. > :08:30.hills, it rose eight .5 inches within 12 hours. You can see how

:08:31. > :08:36.close it is to the buildings and the house. It is a high spring tide as

:08:37. > :08:41.well, so we have that battle. It is set to be a very wet weekend, and on

:08:42. > :08:45.the Somerset Levels it is already spilling over the roads. Over the

:08:46. > :08:50.last couple of days the level of the water has been slowly dropping, but

:08:51. > :08:52.this afternoon we have more heavy rain, the wind is blowing hard, and

:08:53. > :09:35.look, warnings in place yet again.

:09:36. > :09:39.Aberystwyth was hammered at New Year, and now it is set for another

:09:40. > :09:41.pasting. These students have been told to leave their halls of

:09:42. > :09:49.residence for the third time since Christmas. It is lasting too long

:09:50. > :09:52.now. It would be nice to stop having evacuations. Hopefully it will pass

:09:53. > :09:59.and we don't have another crazy winter. In Cornwall, part of the

:10:00. > :10:04.South West coastal path has been closed after a landslip. It looks

:10:05. > :10:08.like a mass movement in the cliff face with active erosion which has

:10:09. > :10:14.led to cracking. There is very little that can be done apart from

:10:15. > :10:17.divert in the path. In Sussex, it was railway lines blocked by

:10:18. > :10:23.landslips, leaving commuters delayed for the start of the weekend. So

:10:24. > :10:29.tonight, Britain is braced all over again for heavy rain, high tides and

:10:30. > :10:37.huge gusts. It seems February is about to arrive with the same the

:10:38. > :10:44.Russell T as the New Year did. -- the same ferocity. 140 miles from

:10:45. > :10:47.soaking Somerset, at this moment the Environment Secretary is sitting

:10:48. > :10:51.down in Westminster to chair another meeting of the government's

:10:52. > :10:56.emergency COBRA committee. To give you an idea of how relentless this

:10:57. > :10:59.weather has been, it will be the 16th time that committee has met to

:11:00. > :11:05.discuss the climate and the weather we have suffered since all of this

:11:06. > :11:09.began just before Christmas. And it is not just wind and tides and rain,

:11:10. > :11:13.some people are getting snow as well this weekend. Ministers are

:11:14. > :11:16.stressing that at least as far as Somerset is concerned, they are

:11:17. > :11:19.grabbing things by the scruff of the neck.

:11:20. > :11:23.A British husband accused of hiring a hit man to kill his wife while

:11:24. > :11:26.they were on honeymoon in Cape Town has lost his High Court attempt to

:11:27. > :11:30.block his extradition to South Africa. Shrien Dewani claimed he was

:11:31. > :11:34.unfit to stand trial because of his mental health problems. His wife,

:11:35. > :11:38.Anni, was shot while in the back of a taxi in November 2010. Mr Dewani

:11:39. > :11:47.can still appeal against today's judgement but his wife's family say

:11:48. > :11:52.they will fight on. It has been three-year 's and three months so

:11:53. > :11:55.far. It has been a long time. We have had to fight in so many

:11:56. > :11:57.different courts but we are happy we can go forward now.

:11:58. > :12:00.The owners of the Sellafield nuclear reprocessing site in Cumbria say

:12:01. > :12:02.higher than normal levels of radiation detected at the complex

:12:03. > :12:04.this morning were caused by naturally occurring radon.

:12:05. > :12:07.Nonessential staff had been told not to come into work after the

:12:08. > :12:11.abnormalities were detected. The company says staff can now return to

:12:12. > :12:22.work as normal and that there is no risk to the public.

:12:23. > :12:26.Dozens of leading public schools are facing a sharp rise in claims for

:12:27. > :12:31.historical sex abuse allegations dating back decades. One legal firm

:12:32. > :12:34.says the schools should pay American-style financial damages

:12:35. > :12:37.running into hundreds of thousands, possibly millions of pounds, to

:12:38. > :12:42.compensate victims whose lives have been ruined by abuse. Such claims

:12:43. > :12:50.could threaten the future of some of the smaller independent schools.

:12:51. > :12:54.Britain's great public schools. For many young boys, institutions that

:12:55. > :12:59.have been the making of them. But for some, the breaking of them. We

:13:00. > :13:02.now know that hundreds of children suffered often lifelong damage from

:13:03. > :13:09.sexual abuse by staff at some of the country's most prestigious private

:13:10. > :13:14.schools. Now, a British- American law firm is seeking US style

:13:15. > :13:19.compensation pay-outs from UK courts, demanding damages in some

:13:20. > :13:23.cases of over ?1 million. The message, I think, to people who do

:13:24. > :13:26.bad things is, go to Great Britain because you can frolic and do

:13:27. > :13:30.whatever you want with our children, and at the end, if you are caught

:13:31. > :13:35.and you have to pay, you will pay a very small price. In America if you

:13:36. > :13:38.do this and get caught, it is going to hurt. If people don't pay real

:13:39. > :13:44.money to stop this problem, it is not going to end. As a teenager at

:13:45. > :13:49.St Bede 's College, Catholic hoarding school in Manchester in the

:13:50. > :13:52.late 1950s and early 1960s, Rick Merrin was repeatedly and severely

:13:53. > :13:58.abused by the headmaster, Monsignor Thomas Duggan, and two other

:13:59. > :14:15.priests. I woke up and I was faced down. I don't need to explain what

:14:16. > :14:19.they did to me. From top of the class to a life of disappointment in

:14:20. > :14:24.work and relationships. A psychiatric report concludes that

:14:25. > :14:28.his abusers stole the golden future he should have had. He is among

:14:29. > :14:30.hundreds of public schoolboys who have gone to lawyers seeking damages

:14:31. > :14:40.for abuse often committed decades ago. In 2011 And Other St Bede 's

:14:41. > :14:44.teacher, Father William Green, admitted 27 sexual assaults on boys

:14:45. > :14:49.in the 1970s, with the possibility of personally facing damages

:14:50. > :14:54.claims. Seven governors at St Bede 's resigned. It has not been seen in

:14:55. > :14:58.child abuse cases before but legal experts say that the courts could

:14:59. > :15:02.order substantial compensation. There might be a considerable

:15:03. > :15:07.financial settlement at the end of this. What motivates you to do it.

:15:08. > :15:10.Is it the money? Nothing could make up for what happened to me at school

:15:11. > :15:16.and the impact it has had on my life. If it comes to some form of

:15:17. > :15:22.financial settlement, it would be some small way of making up for it.

:15:23. > :15:27.Only last November, inspectors rated St Bede 's child protection policies

:15:28. > :15:30.on satisfactory, and the college, now a coeducational Catholic Day

:15:31. > :15:34.School, has promised to review safeguarding policies, insisting St

:15:35. > :15:40.Bede 's is a safe and secure environment. Public revulsion at the

:15:41. > :15:43.perpetrators and sympathy towards victims has led many more people to

:15:44. > :15:48.find the confidence to tell their stories. Now, with lawyers

:15:49. > :15:53.considering punitive damages for historical abuse, the very survival

:15:54. > :15:59.of some of written's oldest and most established institutions could be

:16:00. > :16:03.under threat. I can tell you that in the 1970s and 1980s particularly,

:16:04. > :16:09.the words child protection were never really used. The culture has

:16:10. > :16:14.completely changed, and I think it is very unfair on the teachers and

:16:15. > :16:18.parents of children in those schools, and the children

:16:19. > :16:20.themselves, if a school was to be forced to close as a result of

:16:21. > :16:28.something which happened decades ago. The prospect of American-style

:16:29. > :16:32.court pay-outs toppling ancient educational institutions will

:16:33. > :16:37.outrage some, but others will protest that only by demanding

:16:38. > :16:45.significant compensation can society properly value the life of a child.

:16:46. > :16:51.It is 16 minutes past six. Our main story: Meredith Kercher's family say

:16:52. > :16:55.they are still on a journey to the truth after murder convictions are

:16:56. > :17:02.reinstated against Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito. Coming up: The

:17:03. > :17:06.actress Sienna Miller gives evidence to the phone hacking trial about a

:17:07. > :17:10.voice mail she left for the James Bond actor Daniel Craig.

:17:11. > :17:13.Later on BBC London: "A lack of dignity in his dying days" - a

:17:14. > :17:16.daughter demands to know why her father was so poorly cared for in

:17:17. > :17:18.hospital. And we meet the capital's rugby

:17:19. > :17:20.captains hoping to lead their countries to glory in the Six

:17:21. > :17:36.Nations. They are two leaders from different

:17:37. > :17:41.backgrounds, but when David Cameron hosted the French president for a

:17:42. > :17:44.summit today, the emphasis was supposed to have been on

:17:45. > :17:48.cooperation. There was some agreement with announcements on

:17:49. > :17:52.defence, energy and space. But divisions were quickly exposed over

:17:53. > :17:58.the future of Europe. David Cameron wants reform with every negotiator

:17:59. > :18:02.EU treaty by 2017. Francois Hollande is less keen, describing it as not a

:18:03. > :18:08.priority. This afternoon, Bill to legally under pin David Cameron's

:18:09. > :18:13.pledged to give voters a referendum was killed off in the House of

:18:14. > :18:15.Lords. With more, this report from our deputy political editor, James

:18:16. > :18:20.Landale. It contains some flash photography. The French president

:18:21. > :18:24.arrived alone at a windy airbase near Oxford. It is a businesslike

:18:25. > :18:30.venue for a businesslike summit, very much without spouses. Their job

:18:31. > :18:37.today was to repair a relationship worn thin by diplomatic spats.

:18:38. > :18:42.Differences over policy, the prime and it openly at knowledge. We are

:18:43. > :18:47.not going to agree about everything. I'm a British Conservative and he is

:18:48. > :18:53.a socialist. They agreed where they could, above all on defence, with

:18:54. > :19:05.plans form or joint exercises and anti-ship missiles. But over lunch

:19:06. > :19:08.at the pub that once appeared in Downton Abbey, they discussed their

:19:09. > :19:14.fundamental disagreements over Europe. Mr Cameron wants Britain's

:19:15. > :19:18.relationship with the EU to change. We want to see those changes. We

:19:19. > :19:24.want to see that renegotiation, and that will involve elements of treaty

:19:25. > :19:28.change. Then there will be a referendum in Britain before the end

:19:29. > :19:33.of 2017 that is an in out referendum. Back in London, a bill

:19:34. > :19:38.designed to enshrine the referendum in law was being killed off by

:19:39. > :19:41.peers. But here, even the premise of a referendum was worrying the French

:19:42. > :19:47.president, who fears treaty change could force into hold a referendum,

:19:48. > :19:51.too. TRANSLATION: If there are going to be a member to the text, we don't

:19:52. > :19:55.feel that for the time being they are urgent. We feel that revising

:19:56. > :20:03.the treaty is not a priority for the time being. We can't just expect to

:20:04. > :20:09.follow the example of one country in Europe in order to determine the

:20:10. > :20:13.rest. David Cameron's problem is that if he is going to achieve

:20:14. > :20:21.reform in Europe, he needs allies. The Nao, France into -- isn't one.

:20:22. > :20:28.Do you think your private life has made France an international joke?

:20:29. > :20:34.Are you still having an affair? I'm afraid I decline to answer. So,

:20:35. > :20:39.sharp question asked and a few deals signed, and a long conversation

:20:40. > :20:44.between two men with reviews about the future of Europe. -- different

:20:45. > :20:47.views. The actress Sienna Miller has told

:20:48. > :20:50.the phone hacking trial she did leave a message saying 'I love you'

:20:51. > :20:54.on the voice mail of the James Bond star Daniel Craig, but insisted its

:20:55. > :20:57.meaning had been misunderstood. Ms Miller told the court she had had

:20:58. > :21:00.what she described as a brief encounter with the actor. A former

:21:01. > :21:03.News of the World journalist claims the paper published a story based on

:21:04. > :21:10.the voice mail. Our home affairs correspondent, Tom Symonds, reports.

:21:11. > :21:15.This report contains some flash photography. Sienna Miller and

:21:16. > :21:18.Daniel Craig, on-screen lovers in their film, layer cake. But

:21:19. > :21:24.off-screen, their relationship has been pored over in this trial. It

:21:25. > :21:29.she called him from the Groucho club in Soho, London, and leave the

:21:30. > :21:32.mobile phone voice mail message? It is important because the keeper

:21:33. > :21:38.seclusion witness, former reporter Dan Evans, said she did. But he

:21:39. > :21:43.illegally intercepted it and played it to Andy Coulson, then the editor

:21:44. > :21:47.of the News of the World, proving he knew all about phone hacking. Mr

:21:48. > :21:51.Coulson's barrister says it didn't happen. Over a video link from New

:21:52. > :21:55.Orleans, Sienna Miller was asked, did she remember leaving the

:21:56. > :22:00.message? She said, it is likely, not impossible. She admitted she had had

:22:06. > :22:14.constantly in contact with him because, he was my best friend, and

:22:21. > :22:24.at the time, in 2005. Dan Evans has given evidence that intercepting the

:22:25. > :22:27.voice mail resulted in a big story for him and the paper, one that Andy

:22:28. > :22:33.Coulson absolutely knew the source of. In an intense week in court, Mr

:22:34. > :22:37.Coulson's lawyers have been questioning that story, suggesting

:22:38. > :22:43.the voice mail did not exist and could not have been the basis for

:22:44. > :22:46.the story. That other sources must have helped the newspaper. But

:22:47. > :22:50.Sienna Miller said it could easily have inspired such a story. Somebody

:22:51. > :22:53.intercepted the voice mail and would have thought it was a pretty

:22:54. > :23:01.exciting message to hear. At least, she said, somebody do -- who didn't

:23:02. > :23:04.understand her nature. Sienna Miller's private life has long been

:23:05. > :23:08.scrutinised, including during the Leveson Inquiry. It has happened

:23:09. > :23:12.again in this case. The judge apologised to her and said it was

:23:13. > :23:17.necessary. Andy Coulson denies conspiring to intercept voice mail

:23:18. > :23:24.messages. Tom Symons, BBC News, the Old Bailey.

:23:25. > :23:27.The Conservative MP for Thirsk and Malton, Anne McIntosh, has been

:23:28. > :23:30.deselected by her local party and won't stand as their candidate at

:23:31. > :23:33.the general election next year. Miss McIntosh, who was elected with a

:23:34. > :23:36.majority of more than 11,000 in 2010, says she'll stand as an

:23:37. > :23:38.independent in the seat. She's been involved in a long-running dispute

:23:48. > :23:49.Prince Charles, who has campaigned for many years to reduce global

:23:50. > :23:52.warming, said at an awards ceremony last night that the disbelievers

:23:53. > :23:54.were 'the headless chickens brigade', and that powerful

:23:55. > :24:03.anti-climate change groups were putting up a barrage of sheer

:24:04. > :24:05.intimidation. The England cricket coach Andy

:24:06. > :24:08.Flower has stepped down following this winter's woeful performances by

:24:09. > :24:13.his team as they lost the Ashes series in Australia. The

:24:14. > :24:16.announcement came on the day England lost to the Aussies yet again in a

:24:17. > :24:26.Twenty20 match, as our sports editor, David Bond, reports.

:24:27. > :24:32.Just four needed... Another day, another thrashing for England down

:24:33. > :24:36.under, this time in Twenty20 International in Northern. This has

:24:37. > :24:42.been one of the worst Ashes tour is on record, and today Andy Flower

:24:43. > :24:49.paid the inevitable price. Appointed in 2009, he and his quiet authority

:24:50. > :24:52.was initially credited with transforming English cricket. But as

:24:53. > :24:53.results dipped, he was accused of fostering an arrogant majoris

:24:54. > :25:19.culture. In a statement, he said: They almost seem to get soap scared

:25:20. > :25:22.of Andy Flower. -- so scared. That is a concern. He has done an amazing

:25:23. > :25:29.job for a few years. I thought the players looked a bit robotic. So how

:25:30. > :25:32.will his era in charge be remembered? He was the coach who

:25:33. > :25:38.delivered England's first global one-day trophy back in 2010. He led

:25:39. > :25:44.a team to three back-to-back Ashes wins, historic achievement. But this

:25:45. > :25:48.year's five - zero thrashing by Australia has scarred his time at

:25:49. > :25:55.the helm. Despite the disaster down under, Andy Flower said he wanted to

:25:56. > :25:59.carry on as head coach will stop but, following a meeting here at

:26:00. > :26:05.Lords yesterday, it became clear that his position was untenable. Now

:26:06. > :26:11.I knew man must attempt to rebuild England's team. -- new man. Doubts

:26:12. > :26:16.remain over Alastair Cook's future as captain of the Test and one-day

:26:17. > :26:18.teams, and the perennial problem of managing star batsmen Kevin

:26:19. > :26:25.Pietersen will be the first task for whoever becomes the new head coach.

:26:26. > :26:30.Andy Flower turned England into the Test team in the world, but their

:26:31. > :26:34.decline was almost as rapid as they arise. More big changes might be

:26:35. > :26:42.needed before English cricket truly recovers. An all-important look at

:26:43. > :26:48.the weather now. It is going to be a wet one. Yes,

:26:49. > :26:52.more bad news, really, Kate. A three pronged attack continues. The rain

:26:53. > :26:56.has eased in Somerset. That is the good news. Heavy rain across the

:26:57. > :27:03.rest of the UK. Lots of puddles on the news. Some snow across Scotland,

:27:04. > :27:07.risk of it in Northern Ireland. The rain is clearing away to the east.

:27:08. > :27:13.As we go through the nightmare they will be another band into Wales. --

:27:14. > :27:19.through the night, there will be another band into Wales. It could

:27:20. > :27:24.all freeze up as the possibility of things turns icy. The biggest

:27:25. > :27:28.concern for tomorrow is the risk of further flooding. That is thanks to

:27:29. > :27:31.some strong winds around the coast. There are already severe flood

:27:32. > :27:35.warnings in force. There is the flood line number. The Environment

:27:36. > :27:38.Agency are particularly concerned and say there's a risk to life.

:27:39. > :27:43.Please do not go out looking at the waves around the coast of Wales in

:27:44. > :27:46.south-west England. High tides tomorrow, combined with strong

:27:47. > :27:54.winds, mean a real risk of very big waves and that coastal flooding. 70

:27:55. > :27:58.mph is possible on exposed coasts. It is a blustery and showery day

:27:59. > :28:04.wherever you are. The showers are wintry early on. Not too many

:28:05. > :28:08.getting to the east, it is a bit dry hair. Elsewhere, expect the showers

:28:09. > :28:14.and expected to feel cold in the wind. Sunday is a breezy day, still

:28:15. > :28:18.with some showers, but overall something of a respite. There will

:28:19. > :28:22.be as many showers but the wins will be lighter and there will be more in

:28:23. > :28:27.the way of sunshine stop still a risk of some high tides. Lots of

:28:28. > :28:30.weather warnings and a huge number of flood warnings. They are all

:28:31. > :28:37.available on the BBC Weather website. We return now to reminder

:28:38. > :28:42.of the main story. The family of Meredith Kercher say they want

:28:43. > :28:44.Amanda Knox extradited to Italy after her guilty verdict was

:28:45. > :28:48.reinstated by the court. That's all from the BBC News at Six,

:28:49. > :28:50.so it's goodbye from me, and on BBC One
