:00:12. > :00:18.Royal phone book. The paper's former Royal Editor said Diana was looking

:00:19. > :00:20.for an ally in the press. Clive Goodman told the Old Bailey that

:00:21. > :00:24.Diana leaked the information in 1992 to try to "take on" Prince Charles.

:00:25. > :00:27.We'll be getting the latest from the Old Bailey. Also tonight, a one %

:00:28. > :00:33.public sector pay rise. Unions react angrily at the below-inflation

:00:34. > :00:38.increase. It is an absolute disgrace. Unfair

:00:39. > :00:42.and disappointing and unreasonable. Big losses at Morrisons spark talk

:00:43. > :00:44.of a price war as Britain's fourth biggest supermarket says it'll slash

:00:45. > :00:48.prices. No debris and no clues, we report

:00:49. > :00:52.from onboard a search plane as the hunt for the missing Malaysia

:00:53. > :00:55.Airlines plane continues. And it became a symbol of the Somerset

:01:28. > :01:37.Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six. A former News of the

:01:38. > :01:39.World journalist has told the Old Bailey Princess Diana gave him a

:01:40. > :01:42.confidential royal phone book in 1992. Clive Goodman, the paper's

:01:43. > :01:45.Royal Editor who was jailed for phone hacking, told the jury that

:01:46. > :01:49.Diana was in 'a bitter situation with the Prince of Wales at the time

:01:50. > :01:52.and was looking to take him on'. Our Home Affairs Correspondent, Tom

:01:53. > :02:01.Symonds is at the Old Bailey for us now.

:02:02. > :02:04.Tonight, another extraordinary revelation from this trial. A man

:02:05. > :02:08.convicted of attacking the phones of members of the Royal household now

:02:09. > :02:13.says that a very senior member of the Royal household pass him a

:02:14. > :02:16.highly confidential documents. He says that it happened at the height

:02:17. > :02:20.of the ill feeling between Prince Charles and Diana, Princess of

:02:21. > :02:27.Wales. The jury will have to decide if it is true. The man who made the

:02:28. > :02:32.claim is Clive Goodman. A familiar face in the long phone hacking saga.

:02:33. > :02:37.He admitted doing that, at this very court in 2006. He went to prison.

:02:38. > :02:41.Now he is accused of paying police officers at the Royal Palace for

:02:42. > :02:46.internal phone directories. He denies it and today told the jury

:02:47. > :02:52.that a 1992 directory came to him from a very different source. Diana,

:02:53. > :02:55.Princess of Wales. He says that she wanted him to see the scale of her

:02:56. > :03:00.husband's staff and household compare to the scale of hers. The

:03:01. > :03:03.directories listed the names and numbers of staff. She felt she was

:03:04. > :03:07.being swamped by the people close to him and she was looking for an ally

:03:08. > :03:14.to take him on and sure the kind of forces against. She was, he says, in

:03:15. > :03:18.a better situation. And it was a better time. The Prince and Princess

:03:19. > :03:24.were shortly to separate and in public appearances, it showed. They

:03:25. > :03:30.divorced in 1996. One year later, she was killed in a speeding car in

:03:31. > :03:33.a Paris underpass. Of course, all of this was a huge story for the News

:03:34. > :03:37.of the World. The court heard that the paper had had access to a series

:03:38. > :03:42.of internal Palace phonebooks since at least 1986. They were regularly

:03:43. > :03:47.used for checking stories, sometimes stories denied by the Palace. As a

:03:48. > :03:54.result, the Royal editor's picture and byline regularly appeared in the

:03:55. > :03:59.editor. Clive Goodman says that this phone book arrived in the News of

:04:00. > :04:02.the World's mail and found its way into his pigeonhole. He said the

:04:03. > :04:07.princess called him later to check it had arrived. It was one of a

:04:08. > :04:11.dozen phonebooks that Clive Goodman is alleged to have had. He does not

:04:12. > :04:16.deny having them or using them but he does deny paying police officers

:04:17. > :04:18.to obtain them. Millions of public sector workers,

:04:19. > :04:21.including civil servants, prison staff, military personnel and some

:04:22. > :04:25.NHS staff, will get a below-inflation pay rise of one

:04:26. > :04:33.percent from April this year. But the government is not giving an

:04:34. > :04:36.across the board rise. And around 600,000 NHS staff who receive annual

:04:37. > :04:39.rises in so-called "increments" won't get it. There are also changes

:04:40. > :04:41.to how the government pays for public sector pensions with

:04:42. > :04:44.individual departments picking up the bill. Some union members are

:04:45. > :04:54.angry and there are some threats of strike action, as our Political

:04:55. > :04:57.Correspondent Vicki Young reports. Like all family households,

:04:58. > :05:01.Angela's bills stack up. She is a nurse on a busy hospital ward and

:05:02. > :05:05.has just discovered she will not be getting the salary rise she was

:05:06. > :05:08.expecting. She is angry about the announcement and says that staff are

:05:09. > :05:15.totally undervalued. It is disappointing, upsetting, and it

:05:16. > :05:19.does not make you want to get up out of bed and do a 12 and a half hour

:05:20. > :05:25.shift. When you are not being sufficiently rewarded, it hurts.

:05:26. > :05:28.Like Angela, more than half of NHS workers receive an incremental,

:05:29. > :05:32.regular pay increase as they gain experience. The official advice to

:05:33. > :05:37.ministers was that staff should get this plus a 1% salary rise. The

:05:38. > :05:43.government says it has to be one or the other. I would dearly like to be

:05:44. > :05:48.more generous. But not if it means, as it would if we accepted this Pay

:05:49. > :05:53.Review Body recommendation, that we had to lay off around 6000 nurses.

:05:54. > :05:56.And that is the risk we take. What nurses up and down the country say

:05:57. > :06:01.to me when I'm on the front line is that they think is -- the single

:06:02. > :06:05.thing that matters most is having enough people on the wards. What

:06:06. > :06:08.about other public sector workers? Ministers have decided that members

:06:09. > :06:13.of the Armed Forces, prison officers and judges should receive a 1% rise,

:06:14. > :06:18.but for the rate of inflation. In recent months, we have been hearing

:06:19. > :06:20.more positive news about the economy but ministers have remained

:06:21. > :06:24.cautious, talking about a slow recovery. And today's announcement

:06:25. > :06:28.is a sign that they have no intention of going on a spending

:06:29. > :06:34.spree. Years of pay restraint are far from over. And that is

:06:35. > :06:38.incubating unions, who say it will mean a further cut in living for

:06:39. > :06:41.public sector workers. Some of them have already said they will consult

:06:42. > :06:47.members over strike action. It shows complete contempt, not just for the

:06:48. > :06:50.NHS workforce, but for the NHS. If you have a demotivated workforce,

:06:51. > :06:56.that cannot be good for patient is. We feel that this really shows the

:06:57. > :07:00.government in their true colours. We did not expect them to pick a fight

:07:01. > :07:03.with the NHS before the general election but it looks like that is

:07:04. > :07:06.what they are trying to do and if that is what they want, that is what

:07:07. > :07:09.they will get. Wales and Northern Ireland are considering they pay

:07:10. > :07:15.awards and in Scotland there will be more generous offer. But in England,

:07:16. > :07:20.despite the action, government insists that reform of health pay is

:07:21. > :07:23.essential. The Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls has

:07:24. > :07:26.told the BBC that the government's decision to overrule the Pay Review

:07:27. > :07:28.Body for public sector workers was unfair. He says a future Labour

:07:29. > :07:34.government would scrap the married couples allowance and introduce a

:07:35. > :07:36.10p tax rate instead. Five days before the budget our Political

:07:37. > :07:43.Editor Nick Robinson has been talking to him about Labour's plans

:07:44. > :07:47.and the challenges ahead. If we put two eggs in one side and

:07:48. > :07:52.none in the other, what will happen? Lets see if it goes unbalanced. In a

:07:53. > :07:58.little over a year, that could be the job of the man who wants to be

:07:59. > :08:02.Chancellor. He insists he is tough enough to do it, tough enough to

:08:03. > :08:07.back the government's decision to refuse a 1% pay rise to all NHS

:08:08. > :08:14.staff? Saving ?200 million a year? That was a question I'd put to him

:08:15. > :08:17.nature of the West Midlands. The government has spent ?3 billion on a

:08:18. > :08:21.reorganisation of the NHS. They have given huge payoffs to senior

:08:22. > :08:26.managers to leave the NHS and then today, when the independent Pay

:08:27. > :08:30.Review Body recommends a 1% rise, lower than inflation, they are

:08:31. > :08:37.reneging upon that, rejecting it, and actually therefore not giving a

:08:38. > :08:39.pay rise to 600,000 lower paid NHS staff. Is this something you could

:08:40. > :08:43.promise to reverse if you were Chancellor? We have said we will

:08:44. > :08:47.have to work within the budgets that we inherit, and that will include

:08:48. > :08:54.everything we inherit, including pay. So you cannot reverse it? Pay

:08:55. > :08:59.would not go up by more than 1%? We will do things more fairly. Whoever

:09:00. > :09:03.is in Number Ten will be grappling with huge numbers for borrowing,

:09:04. > :09:08.deficit and debt after the election. The Institute of Fiscal Studies

:09:09. > :09:12.tells me that you may need to find ?18 billion in cuts when you are

:09:13. > :09:17.Chancellor. That is more than Margaret Thatcher, more than Denis

:09:18. > :09:21.Healey in the 70s. It is that serious. We are going to inherit a

:09:22. > :09:27.tougher situation than we needed to and that we want. Under any

:09:28. > :09:32.government since the war. If we can get stronger growth, I hope we can

:09:33. > :09:35.make this not as painful as the IFS is suggesting. But at the moment, it

:09:36. > :09:38.is going to be very difficult. With the budget days away, the economy is

:09:39. > :09:45.heating up nicely. This boiler factory is making much more than a

:09:46. > :09:48.year ago. I showed Ed Balls a graph of growth forecasts for the next few

:09:49. > :09:54.years. Not, I suggested, exactly what he had it. Thank goodness.

:09:55. > :09:58.Finally we have growth. So this does not show that you were wrong? Not at

:09:59. > :10:02.all. Growth was always going to come back. It has happened weaker and

:10:03. > :10:06.later than it should have done because of, I believe, George

:10:07. > :10:09.Osborne's serious mistakes. The coalition is looking at making

:10:10. > :10:15.another tax cut for basic rate taxpayers. Ed Balls has other ideas.

:10:16. > :10:19.What we should actually do is scrap the married couples allowance, which

:10:20. > :10:23.is perverse and unfair, and use that money to give a tax cut for middle

:10:24. > :10:27.and lower income families. We propose a 10p starting rate of

:10:28. > :10:30.income tax my helping two thirds of married couples, women as well as

:10:31. > :10:34.men. Labour's leaders are just beginning to think about life when

:10:35. > :10:40.their ideas might actually become government policy.

:10:41. > :10:45.You excited or terrified? Well, I am. Because it is going to be such a

:10:46. > :10:50.task, with the deficit we will inherit. We have such challenges to

:10:51. > :10:53.get the reforms that we need. Before that, of course, the electorate will

:10:54. > :11:03.have to decide whether to give Mr bowls another chance to play with

:11:04. > :11:06.the nation's train sets. Britain's fourth biggest

:11:07. > :11:09.supermarket, Morrisons, has sparked talk of a supermarket price war

:11:10. > :11:12.after reporting its lowest profit in five years. The retailer says it

:11:13. > :11:16.will spend ?1 billion on price cuts over the next three years in a bid

:11:17. > :11:19.to take on its rivals. The news caused shares to tumble by nearly

:11:20. > :11:25.10% on the stock market. Our business correspondent Emma Simpson

:11:26. > :11:28.reports. In the fast changing world of

:11:29. > :11:33.supermarkets, Morrisons has been struggling to keep up. And today, it

:11:34. > :11:37.plunged into the red, hit by some exceptional costs of nearly ?1

:11:38. > :11:41.billion. Sales are falling and it is being squeezed. There are big

:11:42. > :11:45.structural shifts going on in the market, some of the biggest changes

:11:46. > :11:53.for two generations as people shop differently, online, inconvenience,

:11:54. > :11:56.and now in discounters, which customers see as small supermarkets.

:11:57. > :12:00.So what is Morrisons going to do about it? Today, it took a change in

:12:01. > :12:04.direction, aggressively cutting prices. ?1 billion worth of the next

:12:05. > :12:08.three years. There are going to be fewer products to make this business

:12:09. > :12:14.Li Na and simpler. But it will also mean that Morrisons takes a huge hit

:12:15. > :12:18.on its profits. Here is where it all began. When a young egg and butter

:12:19. > :12:24.seller, William Morrison, opened his first shop in Bradford. A century

:12:25. > :12:28.later, Morrisons has lost its way. Becoming a bit too posh and pricey,

:12:29. > :12:32.it seems, for many of its core customers, who have ended up here.

:12:33. > :12:39.The fast-growing discounters like this one are mirroring in shoppers,

:12:40. > :12:42.even in Yorkshire, Morrisons' home turf. If something is right, you

:12:43. > :12:45.will pay the price. No point paying the price for the sake of it. I

:12:46. > :12:50.think these are the up-and-coming supermarkets. Morrisons prides

:12:51. > :12:54.itself on fresh produce but it has lagged behind in the big growth

:12:55. > :13:00.areas of convenience stores and online shopping. It has got its work

:13:01. > :13:04.cut out. Companies go through cycles but at some point, they lose touch

:13:05. > :13:07.with customers. Every ten or 15 years, you see customers going

:13:08. > :13:13.through a reset, having to rethink their strategy. More Sims has now

:13:14. > :13:24.press the reset button, a move that wiped billions of big UK supermarket

:13:25. > :13:31.chains have -- shares. Six days after the Malaysia Airlines

:13:32. > :13:34.jet vanished from the radar, there are still no clues about what

:13:35. > :13:36.happened to it. The authorities now say Chinese satellite images,

:13:37. > :13:41.thought to show some of the wreckage, were released by mistake

:13:42. > :13:43.and didn't show debris after all. Forty three ships and forty aircraft

:13:44. > :13:47.are searching these zones in the Malacca Straits and the South China

:13:48. > :13:49.Sea, an area of 27,000 square miles. Rupert Wingfield-Hayes joined one

:13:50. > :13:57.aircraft that left Kuala Lumpur for its search area over the Malacca

:13:58. > :14:01.Straits near Penang. Today, I got to see for myself how

:14:02. > :14:08.the Malaysia Air force is searching for flight MH370. For six hours, we

:14:09. > :14:14.flew back and forth, a few hundred feet above the Straits of Malacca.

:14:15. > :14:18.The endless blue water occasionally rocking by fishing boats but not a

:14:19. > :14:25.single sign of any debris. At least not with the technology on board

:14:26. > :14:34.this aircraft. We have six people looking out for things. We are

:14:35. > :14:36.coordinating the visual search and we are assisted. This search, in

:14:37. > :14:42.other words, is being carried out by people looking out of windows with

:14:43. > :14:46.the naked eye. Today, we covered just 70 square miles out of 27,000

:14:47. > :14:52.that need to be searched. This area of sea beneath us is actually

:14:53. > :15:00.several hundred kph from the last known position of flight MH370. This

:15:01. > :15:04.aircraft has been sent up to search this area today because of a strange

:15:05. > :15:07.blip that appeared on military radar a few hours after the plane

:15:08. > :15:12.disappeared. Of course, Malaysia military has to follow up every lead

:15:13. > :15:17.it can, at six days in, it really feels like they are now grasping at

:15:18. > :15:22.straws. In place of facts, the rumour mill swirls. From China today

:15:23. > :15:27.came the satellite pictures, supposedly showing large chunks of

:15:28. > :15:30.debris off the coast of Vietnam. Then a US report said that the

:15:31. > :15:36.Rolls-Royce engines on the missing plane had continued to transmit data

:15:37. > :15:45.for five hours after it disappeared. Malaysia's Transport Minister

:15:46. > :15:48.swiftly stamped on both. The families of the missing are still

:15:49. > :15:57.praying for a miracle. The stress of not knowing is agonising. They say

:15:58. > :16:03.they are looking into it. We are seeking cooperation from

:16:04. > :16:05.neighbouring countries. They are not concentrating and giving us a

:16:06. > :16:13.precise answers we need to know. Many here are starting to accept

:16:14. > :16:17.they are now praying for the dead. Our top story this evening. The

:16:18. > :16:20.former Royal Editor of the News of the World has claimed in court that

:16:21. > :16:27.Princess Diana gave him a confidential royal phone book in

:16:28. > :16:30.1992. And still to come. A new report into a North Sea helicopter

:16:31. > :16:38.crash in 2009 finds the accident could have been avoided.

:16:39. > :16:47.A benefit or a burden? We look at the contribution made by immigrants

:16:48. > :16:49.in the capital. And reaching for the skies, white towel blocks are on the

:16:50. > :17:02.up in the capital. Russia has begun new military

:17:03. > :17:04.exercises close to the border of Ukraine as the stand off between the

:17:05. > :17:07.two countries continues. Around 8,500 Russian troops are involved

:17:08. > :17:13.together with artillery and rocket launchers. It comes at a time of

:17:14. > :17:16.high tension ahead of Crimea's referendum on Sunday on whether to

:17:17. > :17:19.break away from Ukraine and join Russia. If that happens, it will be

:17:20. > :17:22.the latest of many historic changes to Ukraine's borders in a troubled

:17:23. > :17:24.past, as Our Diplomatic Correspondent Bridget Kendall has

:17:25. > :17:33.been finding out at the British Library.

:17:34. > :17:42.Momentous days in Ukraine shaken by turmoil, bloodshed and division. And

:17:43. > :17:48.passions are being fired by history as the old maps in the British

:17:49. > :17:53.Library's collection reveal. Let's start with Crimea. Now the focus on

:17:54. > :17:56.flash point of this crisis. Threatening to loosen ties with Kiev

:17:57. > :18:03.or even return to Russian rule if the pro-Moscow Russian speakers they

:18:04. > :18:05.get their way. And here it is, a tiny peninsula in the Black Sea,

:18:06. > :18:11.just below modern Russia and modern Ukraine. In the 18th century, it was

:18:12. > :18:18.part of the Ottoman Turkish Empire ruled by the Kahn of the Crimean

:18:19. > :18:21.Tartars. Until, as in this map, Russia's Catherine the Great annexed

:18:22. > :18:27.it and made it part of the Russian Empire. And there it stayed, part of

:18:28. > :18:33.Russia, until 1954 when the Soviet leader Khrushchev decided to give it

:18:34. > :18:40.to Ukraine as a gift. That didn't matter too much when it was all part

:18:41. > :18:43.of Soviet territory. But then, in 1991, the Soviet Union collapsed and

:18:44. > :18:51.Russia and Ukraine found they were separate countries with Crimea still

:18:52. > :18:55.part of Ukraine. As for the main part of Ukraine, it's always been

:18:56. > :19:02.pulled two ways. The West stays tied to West for good reason. Take Lviv,

:19:03. > :19:06.as is called today, in the far west of Ukraine. In 1775, it was called

:19:07. > :19:11.Lindberg, and was part of the Austrian Empire. In 1940, now part

:19:12. > :19:20.of Poland, it came under Soviet rule, part of a carve up, secret

:19:21. > :19:25.deal between Hitler and Stalin. Some Ukrainian nationalists saw Stalin as

:19:26. > :19:30.a bigger enemy than Hitler. That's why there's still so much suspicion

:19:31. > :19:33.of Moscow, the old occupying power. And that's why we keep hearing

:19:34. > :19:40.President Putin warning of the threat from right- wing extremists

:19:41. > :19:46.in western Ukraine. Old fears and mistrust, still shaping attitudes

:19:47. > :19:50.today. The further east you go in Ukraine, the more people see Russia

:19:51. > :19:55.not as an enemy but as part of the family. Look at this beautiful

:19:56. > :19:59.18th-century map. Russian lands extend all the way to Kiev. The

:20:00. > :20:01.other side of Poland. And Kiev is where the Russian state began and

:20:02. > :20:08.the Russian Orthodox Church over 1,000 years ago. It's almost sacred.

:20:09. > :20:18.That's why President Putin doesn't want to let it go.

:20:19. > :20:23.David Cameron has urged the leaders of Israel and the Palestinian

:20:24. > :20:27.authorities to be partners for peace. On the second day of his

:20:28. > :20:32.visit to the Middle East, he held talks with Palestinian President. He

:20:33. > :20:37.also met the former Prime Minister Tony Blair, who was a peace envoy in

:20:44. > :20:46.in 2009 have called for the aircraft's operator to be

:20:47. > :20:49.prosecuted. A new report found the accident could possibly have been

:20:50. > :20:53.avoided, if there had been more effective maintenance. Relatives say

:20:54. > :20:58.they also want a full public inquiry. Our Scotland Correspondent

:20:59. > :21:06.Lorna Gordon has been talking to the family of one of the victims. It was

:21:15. > :21:19.left grieving, the memories are still raw. Warren Mitchell left

:21:20. > :21:23.behind a wife and four children. He worked all over the world but he

:21:24. > :21:30.lost his life in the waters close to home. He was just a family man. He

:21:31. > :21:34.would always want to do something with us. That was his main priority,

:21:35. > :21:40.coming home and doing stuff with my mum and all us kids. He is sorely

:21:41. > :21:49.missed. Do you take comfort from today? No, not at all. The

:21:50. > :21:54.helicopter carrying them was just 20 minutes from landing here when it

:21:55. > :21:58.plummeted into the sea. This latest enquiry says their deaths could

:21:59. > :22:01.possibly have been prevented if proper maintenance procedures had

:22:02. > :22:05.been followed. The helicopter operator says lessons have been

:22:06. > :22:11.learned but that no other action is needed. We don't think a criminal

:22:12. > :22:15.enquiry is necessary. Mistakes were learned that there is no evidence

:22:16. > :22:19.whatsoever of criminal action having taken place at any stage of the

:22:20. > :22:24.process prior to the accident itself, so, we wouldn't feel it was

:22:25. > :22:28.necessary. However, criminal investigation is exactly what the

:22:29. > :22:33.families want. To come out today in a statement and say they hope is a

:22:34. > :22:39.broad closure to the families, I just find that disgusting. There's

:22:40. > :22:45.never going to be closure for us. The rest of our lives are ruined. 16

:22:46. > :22:52.men were killed, 16 families lives have also been ruined. A mother and

:22:53. > :22:56.daughter drawing comfort from each other, but the Mitchells and the

:22:57. > :23:01.other families of those who died are still waiting for answers. They

:23:02. > :23:04.still have no closure. In South Africa, the judge in the trial of

:23:47. > :23:50.footballer Eric Cantona has been arrested and cautioned for common

:23:51. > :23:53.assault. Cantona, who has made a new career as an actor, was placed in

:23:54. > :23:57.custody and later received a caution from police. The incident took place

:23:58. > :24:03.in Camden in North London at lunchtime and the male victim did

:24:04. > :24:08.not require medical attention. It became a symbol of the recent

:24:09. > :24:11.Somerset floods. A car submerged under several feet of water

:24:12. > :24:15.abandoned on a road leading to the village of Muchelney, which was cut

:24:16. > :24:18.off for months by the floodwater. And no-one knew who owned until our

:24:19. > :24:24.correspondent Jon Kay managed to track down the owner and reunite him

:24:25. > :24:29.with his saturated vehicle. Finally visible after weeks under water. But

:24:30. > :24:34.who does this abandoned car belong to? In January, it became an

:24:35. > :24:42.unlikely icon of the Somerset floods. Filmed and photographed by

:24:43. > :24:45.media from all over the world. That was a car. It shows you how deep the

:24:46. > :24:55.water is here. There you go. There is your car.

:24:56. > :24:56.Wow! The owner is 21-year- old Hubert, an apprentice engineer

:24:57. > :25:09.originally from Poland. Amazing. You're not going to be driving at

:25:10. > :25:14.home. I don't think so. He escaped from the car on Christmas Eve, as

:25:15. > :25:17.the water suddenly rose. Now he's going to have to share it with the

:25:18. > :25:21.new occupants, once he's found his keys, that is. ?? CYAN I think they

:25:22. > :25:30.fell down I think they fell down here

:25:31. > :25:37.somewhere. Disgusting. He bought the car two years ago for ?600. His

:25:38. > :25:42.pride and joy now a write- off. Well, there's some of my insurance

:25:43. > :25:48.documents, covered in... Loads of stuff. As you can see. So, what did

:25:49. > :25:53.he think when his flooded car became a superstar? Shocking, actually. I

:25:54. > :25:55.wasn't expecting my car to be on telly and eventually to be on

:25:56. > :26:03.international news, in the newspapers. Everyone is pretty much

:26:04. > :26:07.talking about it. Time for Hubert to get a tow from an amphibious

:26:08. > :26:14.military craft. No time for a coffee break.

:26:15. > :26:20.Next stop, a scrap yard or even a motor museum, where the car from the

:26:21. > :26:27.Somerset floods can finally rust in peace.

:26:28. > :26:30.Let's hope all that rain is behind us. Time now for a look at the

:26:31. > :26:40.weather. I'm optimistic about the weekend but

:26:41. > :26:44.we are not there yet. The fog is already reforming around coastal

:26:45. > :26:48.areas right now but watch out creeps inland and becomes widespread

:26:49. > :26:51.through tonight like the last few nights. Nasty patches across England

:26:52. > :26:56.and Wales primarily. A different story in northern Scotland. Not so

:26:57. > :27:01.cold here but further south could see a touch of frost and some rule

:27:02. > :27:05.spots. Let's concentrate on the fog because tomorrow morning, gain it

:27:06. > :27:10.could be quite nasty. Allow extra time across England and Wales. Some

:27:11. > :27:13.dense patches and it could last right the way through the rush hour.

:27:14. > :27:17.If you are on the move tomorrow morning, be aware that could be some

:27:18. > :27:21.disruption. Check out your BBC local radio station before you set off.

:27:22. > :27:25.The fog will shrink away and a reasonable day for many of us. Away

:27:26. > :27:30.from the western half of Scotland where it will be windy, wetter,

:27:31. > :27:35.particular across the far north. Dribs and drabs on western coast,

:27:36. > :27:38.but if you're going to Cheltenham, it should left, but limited

:27:39. > :27:46.brightness. It should be dry and bright. Low cloud towards western

:27:47. > :27:50.coasts of England and Wales. The fog should left, though. The sun should

:27:51. > :27:54.come out in eastern areas and temperatures could be high teens.

:27:55. > :27:59.Very nice. Further north, more cloud west of the, south-west Scotland,

:28:00. > :28:02.Northern Ireland. The heavy stuff will be along the Highlands, where

:28:03. > :28:08.it will be particularly windy tomorrow afternoon. A good old gale

:28:09. > :28:12.blowing in exposed places. For the weekend, largely dry, rain around in

:28:13. > :28:17.the north-western areas, but most of us will be dry at times with

:28:18. > :28:18.sunshine further south. It will be tempered to some extent by blustery

:28:19. > :28:24.wind. A reminder of our main story. The

:28:25. > :28:28.former Royal Editor of the News of the World has claimed in court that

:28:29. > :28:31.Princess Diana gave him a confidential royal phone book in the
