:01:53. > :01:58.Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six. A surge in immigration
:01:59. > :02:01.and a drop in people leaving the UK has dealt another blow to David
:02:02. > :02:04.Cameron's pledge to slash net migration to the tens of thousands.
:02:05. > :02:08.The latest net migration figures have risen by more than a third.
:02:09. > :02:12.They went up from 154,000 in September 2012, to 212,000 people by
:02:13. > :02:15.the same time last year. The rise was driven by a dramatic increase in
:02:16. > :02:26.the number of people coming here from other EU countries. Here's our
:02:27. > :02:31.home editor, Mark Easton. Just arrived from Romania,
:02:32. > :02:35.passengers who represent two of the most incendiary issues for the
:02:36. > :02:39.government, immigration and Europe. Today, figures show the UK has seen
:02:40. > :02:46.more migrants arriving from the European Union than ever before.
:02:47. > :02:55.Where have you come from? Romania. Have you come for work? Yes. Have
:02:56. > :03:08.you got a job? Guests. Net migration from the EU has doubled in a year,
:03:09. > :03:13.the highest level in history. An estimated 20,000 Romanians and
:03:14. > :03:18.Bulgarians came to the UK last year. It looks almost impossible for the
:03:19. > :03:25.government to hit its target of cutting net migration overall. The
:03:26. > :03:30.current figure is twice that. That is wiry remain focused on dealing
:03:31. > :03:34.with the abuse of free movement and also addressing some of the benefit
:03:35. > :03:38.and welfare factors which may be a pull factor to attract people to
:03:39. > :03:46.come to the UK. Six out of ten of the new European migrants have come
:03:47. > :03:51.here to work, following in the footsteps of people from Spain and
:03:52. > :03:58.Romania. It is a good place to have fun. Opportunities to learn new
:03:59. > :04:05.things. Came for a better life and a better job. The foreign workers from
:04:06. > :04:08.the EU outnumber those from the rest of the world put together. The
:04:09. > :04:15.figures show the government's immigration policy is in tatters.
:04:16. > :04:22.They are not doing enough to tackle immigration and they are putting off
:04:23. > :04:27.university students. Trust is being undermined. The sharp increase in EU
:04:28. > :04:32.migration began as the Olympics finished in 2012. The games were a
:04:33. > :04:36.shop window for the UK but it is likely the improving state of the
:04:37. > :04:39.British economy, compared to elsewhere in the EU, is what has
:04:40. > :04:47.persuaded many Europeans to move here. We are at risk. If there is a
:04:48. > :04:52.serious crisis in the euro zone, and migrate to re-wave of the likes we
:04:53. > :05:00.have never seen before. With a general election in little over a
:05:01. > :05:02.year, the government's chosen message of success in controlling
:05:03. > :05:05.immigration is telling an unlikely story.
:05:06. > :05:08.The latest immigration figures come as the German Chancellor, Angela
:05:09. > :05:11.Merkel, was in London telling parliament she can't promise
:05:12. > :05:14.fundamental reform of the EU. Mrs Merkel made it clear that she wants
:05:15. > :05:21.Britain to remain a "strong voice" in Europe. Our political editor Nick
:05:22. > :05:28.Robinson reports. They treated her like the queen of
:05:29. > :05:32.Europe in Parliament today. The Prime Minister believes Angela
:05:33. > :05:38.Merkel holds the key to his dream of forging a new relationship with the
:05:39. > :05:44.EU. His allies briefed that today she would show that she is on his
:05:45. > :05:49.side. I have been told that there are very special expectations of my
:05:50. > :05:53.speech here today. Looking on, ever so nervously, the men who know that
:05:54. > :05:57.her intentions will form the backdrop to their election
:05:58. > :06:02.campaigns. Some expect my speech to pave the way for a fundamental
:06:03. > :06:08.reform of the European architecture which will satisfy all kinds of
:06:09. > :06:14.alleged or actual British wishes. I am afraid they are in for a
:06:15. > :06:18.disappointment. She would, she swiftly added, also dashed the hopes
:06:19. > :06:22.of those who thought she would rule out change, switching to German,
:06:23. > :06:27.there was plenty of talk of reform but no promise to change your's
:06:28. > :06:33.treaties. None to give powers back to Britain. We need a strong United
:06:34. > :06:39.Kingdom with a strong voice inside the European Union. If we have that,
:06:40. > :06:46.we will be able to make the necessary changes for the benefit of
:06:47. > :06:50.all. Left unstated at the end of a well-received speech, what exactly
:06:51. > :06:55.their business is very changes are. What the Prime Minister knows that
:06:56. > :07:01.on his own, he can change nothing in Europe. It takes the votes of 27
:07:02. > :07:05.other leaders. Some of course matter more than others. That is why
:07:06. > :07:09.Germany's Chancellor got the red carpet treatment today. Angela
:07:10. > :07:14.Merkel has the power to make or break David Cameron's dream of
:07:15. > :07:18.reshaping the European Union. She said nothing today to convince his
:07:19. > :07:24.sceptics that Germany is really on his side. After lunchtime talks,
:07:25. > :07:30.David Cameron joked and teased and flirted with the woman who his aides
:07:31. > :07:37.claim sees him like her naughty nephew. They were, he insisted, at
:07:38. > :07:41.one. Angela and I both want to see change in Europe. We both believe
:07:42. > :07:47.changes possible. I believe that what I am setting out, the changes
:07:48. > :07:52.that Britain wants to see, to build confidence in the membership of this
:07:53. > :07:55.organisation are doable. On cutting red tape and tackling so-called
:07:56. > :08:00.benefit tourism, she signalled her agreement with Britain. As for
:08:01. > :08:06.everything else, it would require all of us European compromise.
:08:07. > :08:10.TRANSLATION:: It is not a piece of cake. It will be a lot of work. We
:08:11. > :08:17.have already worked hard on other issues. If we want Britain to remain
:08:18. > :08:21.in the European Union, which is what I want, one can find common
:08:22. > :08:26.solutions. Who she will go shake those with, is of course, still a
:08:27. > :08:32.matter for the British electorate, hence the talks with the man who may
:08:33. > :08:36.become Prime Minister Miliband. Today has confirmed that David
:08:37. > :08:40.Cameron's approach to Europe is not working. Chancellor Merkel will
:08:41. > :08:43.leave the United Kingdom with a gap between what she is not working.
:08:44. > :08:45.Chancellor Merkel will leave the United Kingdom with a gap between
:08:46. > :08:48.what she's offering and what Eurosceptic backbenchers are
:08:49. > :08:52.demanding as wide as ever. Angela Merkel's last stop was with the
:08:53. > :08:58.woman she insisted was the only Queen in town today. She wore Royal
:08:59. > :09:06.blue in her honour. As she left town, we are all being asked of any
:09:07. > :09:11.clearer about what she might do? Nick Robinson is in Westminster for
:09:12. > :09:17.us. As David Cameron got anything from this visit? It depends what
:09:18. > :09:21.Angela Merkel view listen to. If you want fundamental change, you will be
:09:22. > :09:26.disappointed. If you want treaties torn up and rewritten, you will be
:09:27. > :09:32.very disappointed. If I'm the other hand, like the Prime Minister, you
:09:33. > :09:37.heard Chancellor say change was doable, you will be happier. What
:09:38. > :09:40.she was clear about was any change will only come about when all
:09:41. > :09:44.European countries agree. The best bit of news she had for David
:09:45. > :09:50.Cameron was that offered to change the rules on freedom of movement.
:09:51. > :09:54.That was a principal, she said, but benefit tourism certainly was not.
:09:55. > :09:59.We still do not know how that will change. If you want more than that
:10:00. > :10:03.from a change in Europe, she made it pretty clear, you will probably have
:10:04. > :10:07.to get out. Standard life has become the first
:10:08. > :10:10.major Scottish business towards it might leave Scotland if there is a
:10:11. > :10:15.yes vote for independence. The pension and savings firm, which is
:10:16. > :10:19.based in Edinburgh, said in its annual report that it is putting in
:10:20. > :10:25.place contingency plans to relocate. Standard life was founded
:10:26. > :10:33.in 1825. It is one of six FTSE 100 companies with headquarters in
:10:34. > :10:35.Scotland and employs 5000 people in Scotland. But 90% of the customers
:10:36. > :10:41.live outside Scotland. Here is Lorna Gordon.
:10:42. > :10:46.Edinburgh, for hundreds of years, a centre for banking and finance.
:10:47. > :10:50.Among its institutions, standard life, successful and symbolically
:10:51. > :11:00.important. Today warned it might move some of its headquarters if an
:11:01. > :11:04.agreement is not reached. This intervention on business dominated
:11:05. > :11:08.politics at Holyrood today. Standard life will find Scotland a good place
:11:09. > :11:12.to do business. A Scottish government puts forward the concept
:11:13. > :11:16.of a shared currency and regulatory framework which is exactly the sorts
:11:17. > :11:20.of things which standard life has been calling for. The first
:11:21. > :11:26.Minister's reassurances drew an angry response from the opposition.
:11:27. > :11:31.No amount of bullying from Alex Salmond can change that fact. Now
:11:32. > :11:36.all the first Minister admit that if Scotland leaves the United Kingdom,
:11:37. > :11:43.people's jobs will leave Scotland. What is standard life saying? The
:11:44. > :11:47.company's chairman stated: Scotland has been a good place to run our
:11:48. > :11:57.business and compete around the world.
:11:58. > :12:05.Standard Life is both important and iconic to Scotland's financial
:12:06. > :12:10.services industry. What it says about the prospect of independence
:12:11. > :12:14.matters. If the company were to move employees and funds out of Scotland
:12:15. > :12:18.then it would cause real concern here. Is Standard Life did move then
:12:19. > :12:24.obviously jobs and whatnot would be lost. You are an employee, this
:12:25. > :12:29.statement may impact on you, what do you make of it? The company has
:12:30. > :12:34.every right to its opinion like everybody else. They are driven by
:12:35. > :12:41.fear and money. They are not part of the new Scottish vision. Realising
:12:42. > :12:46.that vision, not impossible according to one credit ratings
:12:47. > :12:50.industry. It is a company with deep domestic savings but there certainly
:12:51. > :12:54.would be some significant challenges to going it alone, one of those
:12:55. > :13:01.would be questions about what monetary arrangement, what currency
:13:02. > :13:05.would the new country use. It is not just voters who have a stake in
:13:06. > :13:09.Scotland's future, businesses do as well. And today, one very
:13:10. > :13:14.significant company made its concerns known.
:13:15. > :13:19.Our business editor Robert Peston joins us now. Are there any signs of
:13:20. > :13:27.other companies drawing up contingency plans? We heard that
:13:28. > :13:31.interesting comment from one of those famous rating agencies and he
:13:32. > :13:36.pointed out that Scotland is a rich country and it would get the top
:13:37. > :13:43.investment-grade rating but the other thing is that Scotland has
:13:44. > :13:49.enormous financial companies. Lloyds and RBS are both domiciled there.
:13:50. > :13:53.They have their headquarters there. It points out that the risks of
:13:54. > :13:58.supporting those sorts of companies, those sorts of banks in a crisis
:13:59. > :14:04.would be pretty challenging for such a small economy. It said it expects
:14:05. > :14:09.those companies to move, to find a new home. And I have to say that
:14:10. > :14:15.talking to bankers, I think that other banks do share Standard
:14:16. > :14:20.Life's concerns and what Standard Life said may well be followed by
:14:21. > :14:25.the big financial institutions. Thank you.
:14:26. > :14:29.David Cameron has ordered an independent enquiry to assure that
:14:30. > :14:32.no more letters have been wrongly sent to paramilitary suspects saying
:14:33. > :14:36.they are no longer wanted men. It comes after the case of a man
:14:37. > :14:41.arrested for the IRA Hyde Park bombing collapsed this week.
:14:42. > :14:44.Northern Ireland's first Minister Peter Robinson who threatened to
:14:45. > :14:51.resign, says he is happy with the enquiry.
:14:52. > :14:57.The IRA's campaign of terror caused death and damage across the UK. From
:14:58. > :15:02.Belfast to London, the years of bombings and shootings left many
:15:03. > :15:06.victims. Yet in the case of an attack at Hyde Park, the main
:15:07. > :15:10.suspect for murder will not face prosecution, and all because of a
:15:11. > :15:14.letter wrongly sent to him by the government, assuring him that he
:15:15. > :15:18.would not be prosecuted. There were scores of letters similar to the one
:15:19. > :15:22.sent to John Downie and today the Prime Minister promised an enquiry
:15:23. > :15:27.to make sure there were not mistakes. We will appoint an
:15:28. > :15:30.independent judge to provide a full account into the administration of
:15:31. > :15:35.the scheme to determine whether any other letters were sent in error.
:15:36. > :15:38.Today, the government led crisis talks at Stormont, after the
:15:39. > :15:45.Northern Ireland minister threatened to resign. I think the Prime
:15:46. > :15:49.Minister and Secretary of State have been prompt, they have dealt with
:15:50. > :15:54.the issue seriously and in the matter that is -- the manner that is
:15:55. > :16:00.satisfactory to me. I do not intend to resign on the basis of if you get
:16:01. > :16:04.what you want, why would you resign? But there are victims still
:16:05. > :16:08.asking questions, including the families of those killed in the
:16:09. > :16:11.Denis Gulin bombing. It is clear that Sinn Fein put forward the name
:16:12. > :16:19.of one of the suspected this attack as part of the deal. I saw my dad's
:16:20. > :16:23.decapitated body, for someone of only 18 years to witness that and
:16:24. > :16:27.then 26 years later more or less told we will never get justice for
:16:28. > :16:31.the people murdered in Enniskillen and countless other atrocities. The
:16:32. > :16:35.issue of secret letters and deals still hangs over Stormont but for
:16:36. > :16:45.the moment, the Prime Minister will be relieved that the Assembly seemed
:16:46. > :16:48.secure. The time is 6:16pm. Our top story this evening: Net migration
:16:49. > :16:51.has risen to more than 200,000, a blow David Cameron's pledge to cut
:16:52. > :16:55.the numbers. And farewell to Sir Tom Finney. Thousands pay tribute to one
:16:56. > :17:00.of the greats of English football. Later on BBC London: The Mayor's
:17:01. > :17:03.accused of jeopardising hundreds of jobs after funding for a Science
:17:04. > :17:19.Park in Dagenham is pulled. And the latest Olympic venue to be
:17:20. > :17:22.transformed ready for public use. Hundreds of people have died in
:17:23. > :17:30.chemical attacks in the Syrian conflict. A third of them were
:17:31. > :17:33.children. Syria has 1,300 tonnes of substances including mustard gas and
:17:34. > :17:36.the components of sarin and other agents. Syria agreed to an
:17:37. > :17:39.international plan to rid itself of chemical weapons by the fifth
:17:40. > :17:42.February this year. But so far only 13% have left the country. The
:17:43. > :17:45.chemicals will be destroyed both at sea on board an American ship, and
:17:46. > :17:49.at several sites in Europe, including Britain. Our Science
:17:50. > :17:51.Editor David Shukman has been to a plant in Ellesmere Port which will
:17:52. > :18:02.handle some of the chemicals. The waste disposal plant at
:18:03. > :18:07.Ellesmere Port and the machinery that will help destroy the chemical
:18:08. > :18:11.weapons of Syria. This place handles all kinds of hazardous stuff, but
:18:12. > :18:16.soon there should be barrels from Damascus containing key ingredients
:18:17. > :18:20.for the world's most dangerous nerve agents. A control room will monitor
:18:21. > :18:24.the process. The Syrian chemicals will be treated like any industrial
:18:25. > :18:27.waste. They are not weapons themselves, so-called precursors,
:18:28. > :18:35.components about weapons and they will be fed into a giant incinerator
:18:36. > :18:45.and burnt at 1150 Celsius. We accepted materials that are similar
:18:46. > :18:49.over the last year. We take waste from the chemical sector and the
:18:50. > :18:53.agrochemical sector. The chemicals brought here are standard industrial
:18:54. > :18:56.products, and you need to mix them with something else to get a
:18:57. > :19:00.chemical weapon. The real challenges that they are not here yet. Syria
:19:01. > :19:07.was meant to have shipped out all of its chemicals by now. The whole is
:19:08. > :19:10.way behind schedule. -- the whole programme. New footage shows the
:19:11. > :19:15.extraordinary tension on a Norwegian ship as it approaches the Syrian
:19:16. > :19:18.coast. This is the first we have seen of the nerve wracking task of
:19:19. > :19:22.collecting chemicals from a war zone. This is something that never
:19:23. > :19:30.been tried before, and so far, there have only been four deliveries. From
:19:31. > :19:34.Syria's port, the chemicals are meant to be sent as far afield as
:19:35. > :19:40.Germany, Finland as well as Britain. With an American ship specially
:19:41. > :19:44.equipped to handle the most dangerous material, but only when
:19:45. > :19:49.Syria releases all of its stockpile. We cannot afford any further delays.
:19:50. > :19:53.What we have to see immediately is a pick-up in the tempo, and we have
:19:54. > :20:03.two C regular, systematic predictable movement of the
:20:04. > :20:07.chemicals -- we have two C. This is why chemical weapons matter. The
:20:08. > :20:11.nerve agents are invisible, but potentially deadly. And their use in
:20:12. > :20:16.Syria against civilians caused international outrage. So the
:20:17. > :20:20.technology to destroy them is ready. Everyone is poised, but yet again,
:20:21. > :20:22.Syria faces massive pressure to allow its chemicals to reach places
:20:23. > :20:32.like this. The former News International Chief
:20:33. > :20:36.Executive Rebekah Brooks has admitted paying public officials on
:20:37. > :20:40.half a dozen occasions. She told the hacking trial at the Old Bailey that
:20:41. > :20:43.she had sanctioned payments when she edited the News of the World and the
:20:44. > :20:49.Sun newspaper, but denied knowing the name or position of the public
:20:50. > :20:53.and officials involved. It's been another bad year for the RBS, the
:20:54. > :20:56.bank which is mostly owned by the taxpayer has announced annual losses
:20:57. > :21:01.of just over ?8 billion thanks to a combination of fines and
:21:02. > :21:03.compensation payments. Five days after he was ousted as Ukraine's
:21:04. > :21:06.former President, Viktor Yanukovych has resurfaced in Russia where he
:21:07. > :21:08.has been granted protection. In a statement issued to Russian
:21:09. > :21:14.television, he said he still considered himself Ukraine's
:21:15. > :21:17.President. As the crisis deepens, military vehicles have been seen
:21:18. > :21:21.today on the outskirts of the Crimean capital of Simferopol. It
:21:22. > :21:24.comes after armed pro-Russia supporters stormed the regional
:21:25. > :21:26.parliament there. Daniel Sandford is in Simferopol and has sent us this
:21:27. > :21:39.report. This city is in Ukraine, but the
:21:40. > :21:41.crowds were shouting for Russia today as they celebrated the
:21:42. > :21:48.storming of the local parliament by men with guns. The building was
:21:49. > :21:53.barricaded although MPs could come and go, and nobody knows who the
:21:54. > :21:57.occupiers are. It shows how little control the new Ukrainian government
:21:58. > :22:02.has in Crimea, peninsular in the south-east of the country. The
:22:03. > :22:07.heavily armed men took over the parliament at about 4pm -- 4am this
:22:08. > :22:11.morning. Witnesses say they were carrying rifles and rocket propelled
:22:12. > :22:15.grenades. They forced their way in and throughout the police who had
:22:16. > :22:22.been guarding the building. This morning's action by an armed group
:22:23. > :22:26.is dangerous and irresponsible. I urge Russia not to take any action
:22:27. > :22:30.that could escalate tension or create misunderstanding. But along
:22:31. > :22:36.the border with Ukraine, Russia is conducting what it called military
:22:37. > :22:42.preparedness exercises. The drills involved 150,000 men. Given the
:22:43. > :22:45.Kremlin's particular interest in Crimea, which was historically a
:22:46. > :22:51.Russian peninsulas, it has only exacerbated concerns in the West. We
:22:52. > :22:55.expect other nations to respect the sovereignty of Ukraine and avoid
:22:56. > :22:59.provocative actions. That is why I am closely watching the Russian
:23:00. > :23:03.military exercises across the Ukrainian border. The alarm
:23:04. > :23:06.increased when seven armoured personnel carriers, thought to be
:23:07. > :23:12.Russian, briefly turned up on the outskirts of Simferopol, the city
:23:13. > :23:16.where the occupied parliament is, although they were probably part of
:23:17. > :23:19.a legitimate movement between bases. The new Ukrainian Prime Minister
:23:20. > :23:27.begged other countries not to get involved militarily. My first
:23:28. > :23:33.message, no boots on the ground. The Ukrainian Department of defence and
:23:34. > :23:37.the Ukrainian Department of Homeland Security is capable of doing their
:23:38. > :23:42.job. And we believe that we will definitely find a political
:23:43. > :23:48.solution. Ukraine's deposed president Yacoub which -- President
:23:49. > :23:51.Yanukovych has not been seen since Sunday night but he will give a
:23:52. > :23:52.press conference in Russia tomorrow night, 70 miles from the Ukrainian
:23:53. > :24:01.border. The captain of the Costa Concordia
:24:02. > :24:07.cruise ship has returned to the vessel he was accused of abandoning
:24:08. > :24:10.when it capsized in January of 2012 killing 32 people. His visit was
:24:11. > :24:16.part of a court ordered inspection of the ship which still lies in the
:24:17. > :24:19.shallows of the Italian island of Gio. The Football Association has
:24:20. > :24:21.banned the West Bromwich Albion footballer, Nicholas Anelka, for
:24:22. > :24:25.five matches for a a goal celebration that was judged to be
:24:26. > :24:27.abusive and improper. Anelka has also been fined ?80,000 and ordered
:24:28. > :24:29.to complete a compulsory education course. The player has a right of
:24:30. > :24:35.appeal. Thousands of people lined the
:24:36. > :24:39.streets of Preston today to mark the life of the footballer Sir Tom
:24:40. > :24:44.Finney. He died two weeks ago, aged 91. Sir Tom won 76 England caps and
:24:45. > :24:45.played his entire career at Preston North End. Our Sports Editor David
:24:46. > :24:59.Bond reports. Even in his passing, Sir Tom Finney
:25:00. > :25:01.can still draw a crowd. Arguably the greatest play England has ever
:25:02. > :25:09.produced, he was devoted to this city. Today, Preston turned out to
:25:10. > :25:16.say goodbye to its favourite son. Outside left Tom Finney makes it
:25:17. > :25:20.1-0. A winger of rare talent, he played 76 times for England, scoring
:25:21. > :25:25.30 goals. Nowadays he would been a multimillionaire. At Preston North
:25:26. > :25:27.End, his only club, he earned ?14 per week. Those played with him for
:25:28. > :25:34.England you exactly what he was worth. He was playing left wing and
:25:35. > :25:38.I was in awe of him. He got the ball and took it to the dead ball line
:25:39. > :25:42.and squared it back, and I could not miss. I could not miss, it was so
:25:43. > :25:49.easy. And I thought, blimey, I could play with him every week. This was a
:25:50. > :25:56.grand sendoff for such a humble man, and a very English service for
:25:57. > :26:00.one of the country's finest. And they came from all over the game to
:26:01. > :26:05.pay their respects. But this was never mournful, it was a celebration
:26:06. > :26:10.of a player who seemed to unite football. He never won a
:26:11. > :26:12.championship medal, he didn't win the cup winners medal, he won
:26:13. > :26:20.something more important than that. He won the heart of his team-mates,
:26:21. > :26:27.quite often his opponents, the supporters and of the nation. Many
:26:28. > :26:33.footballers achieve fame, but few attain greatness. With Sir Tom
:26:34. > :26:39.Finney's death, the game has not only lost one of its best, but the
:26:40. > :26:47.link -- a link to its treasured past. Time for a look at the
:26:48. > :26:50.weather. Here's Alex. Some wintry weather about.
:26:51. > :26:57.Yes it's all been about the rain, but tonight 's ice across Northern
:26:58. > :27:01.Ireland in south-west Scotland, and even a touch of snow over the hills
:27:02. > :27:04.of Wales. There will be some snow in the showers across western
:27:05. > :27:08.Scotland. The showers across England and Wales fade away to allow the
:27:09. > :27:13.next system to arrive. Some snow over the hills of Wales, and the
:27:14. > :27:17.winds could get lightly. The extreme south-west seeing gusts of 70 mph.
:27:18. > :27:21.Further north, the winds are lighter which is why we might see a risk of
:27:22. > :27:25.ice. In the south, staying above freezing, which is why at low levels
:27:26. > :27:30.it will be mostly rain. There could be a bit of snow over the tops of
:27:31. > :27:34.the Moors, particularly in parts of mid and South Wales. The Brecon
:27:35. > :27:37.Beacons, the Black Mountains. The valley roads might be unpleasant in
:27:38. > :27:42.the morning rush hour. A few flakes on the tops of the Cotswolds, and
:27:43. > :27:45.maybe later across the Chilterns. But across East Anglia and the
:27:46. > :27:51.south-east, maybe the wake but most people will see rain. A cold and wet
:27:52. > :27:53.day. The rain will pull away from Wales and south-west England, skies
:27:54. > :27:58.brightening though, and elsewhere there will be sunny spells, but some
:27:59. > :28:00.showers for Northern Ireland and western Scotland. Temperatures
:28:01. > :28:04.between six and eight degrees, but with the cold wind in the south it
:28:05. > :28:10.will feel worse than that. Cold start to the weekend with a touch of
:28:11. > :28:14.Frost, some ice and fog. Patchy rain clearing away from East Anglia and
:28:15. > :28:21.the south-east. Some rain returning to the west later, but dry and
:28:22. > :28:24.bright. On Saturday, highs of six up to nine Celsius. Similar on Sunday
:28:25. > :28:30.with maybe patchy rain in the east, then rain returning to the west, but
:28:31. > :28:33.again, in between, many places dry and bright. There could be ice and a
:28:34. > :28:35.bit of snow on the hills of Wales tonight.
