satellite analysis. The moment families of the passengers were told | :00:14. | :00:22. | |
there were no survivors, they had hoped in vain. For them, the past | :00:23. | :00:36. | |
few weeks have been heartbreaking. I know this news must be harder still. | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
There have been new sightings of suspected wreckage. Ships and | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
surveillance aircraft are converging on the area. We'll be hearing from | :00:45. | :00:48. | |

Bob Crow. Hello and welcome to the BBC's News | :01:31. | :01:55. | |
At Six. More than two weeks after the Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
disappeared, the families of the 239 people who were on board have been | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
told the plane did crash and that no-one survived. This afternoon, | :02:03. | :02:09. | |
Malaysia's Prime Minister said new evidence pointed to the flight | :02:10. | :02:11. | |
ending in the Southern Indian Ocean and far from any landing sites. He | :02:12. | :02:18. | |
said that fresh data analysis in the UK had shed more light on the flight | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
path of the plane. That area has been the subject of an intense | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
aerial and sea search for some days now. And today more reconnaissance | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
aircraft, along with an Australian Navy vessel, have been combing the | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
area. Our first report on the fate of Flight MH370 is from Alastair | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
Leithead, who is in the Malaysian capital, Kuala Lumpur. His report | :02:39. | :02:40. | |
contains some flash photography. It was a moment the world was | :02:41. | :02:53. | |
expecting but the families of those on board flight MH370 were hoping | :02:54. | :03:00. | |
would never come. The Malaysian Prime Minister 's announcement was | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
based on new information from the British communications company that | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
has been at the heart of the investigation. Inmarsat, the UK | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
company that provided satellite data, using a type of analysis never | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
before used in an investigation of this sort, they have been able to | :03:20. | :03:28. | |
shed more light on MH370 's flight path. Inmarsat established to | :03:29. | :03:38. | |
possible corridors of travel. They used a new computer model to | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
discount the northern corridor, meaning the plane 's last signal | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
must have come from here, deep in the southern Indian Ocean. This is a | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
mode location, far from any possible landing sites. It is, therefore, | :03:55. | :04:01. | |
with deep sadness, and regret, that I must inform you that, according to | :04:02. | :04:19. | |
this new data, flight MH370 ended in a sudden -- the southern Indian | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
Ocean. This was the reaction in Beijing when the families heard the | :04:26. | :04:34. | |
terrible news. Anger replaced this sudden and brutal loss of hope. The | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
Malaysians are talking nonsense, this man shouts. Until the wreckage | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
is found, the truth will be hard to accept. Chinese aircraft joined the | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
search for wreckage today. 1500 miles off the coast of Western | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
Australia. They photographed some unidentified floating objects, as | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
did an Australian aircraft crew. Ships are also on the way to the | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
search area. This really is just the first step in trying to solve one of | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
the world 's great aviation mysteries. Wreckage linked to the | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
flight has not been positively identified, so the search must go on | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
for any remains of the plane, the black box flight recorder and trying | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
to piece together the last few hours of the passengers aboard the flight, | :05:21. | :05:27. | |
MH370. Why it went down thousands of miles of course deep in the southern | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
Indian Ocean may never will be known. -- never be known. Well, the | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
Malaysian Prime Minister's announcement followed new analysis | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
by British experts at the UK's Air Accidents Investigation Branch and | :05:39. | :05:40. | |
Inmarsat, that's the UK company that provided the satellite data. Our | :05:41. | :05:42. | |
transport correspondent, Richard Westcott, has been talking to the | :05:43. | :05:44. | |
team behind the break-through. I am so sorry, we are having | :05:45. | :06:10. | |
technical problems with that report. Our transport correspondent was | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
hoping to bring a report talking to the team behind the breakthrough. | :06:14. | :06:29. | |
The search for the wreckage of flight MH370 continues. We can now | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
go to are Porter in Perth. What is the latest you can bring us? -- our | :06:35. | :06:42. | |
reporter. Ager Matic Day in Malaysia and a dramatic day here. We have had | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
dozens of flights setting off from the airport base in Perth. Today is | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
the first day where we had any really significant sightings of | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
possible debris from the Malaysian jet. We do not know, at this stage, | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
whether the object is the first day where we had any really significant | :07:02. | :07:03. | |
sightings of possible debris from the Malaysian jet. We do not know, | :07:04. | :07:05. | |
at this stage, whether the objects cited today will turn to be the | :07:06. | :07:19. | |
wreckage for five days, the southern Indian Ocean has yielded few clues. | :07:20. | :07:27. | |
Today that change. An Australian search plane fired flares to mark | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
the spot after four pieces of possible debris from the missing | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
Malaysian jet was cited. Special data boys would dropped to track any | :07:35. | :07:41. | |
shift in position caused by strong currents. The first object was | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
rectangular in shape, slightly below the ocean. The second object was | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
circular, also slightly below the ocean. There was a cylindrical | :07:52. | :07:59. | |
object and another item in the area which was also cylindrical. Dozens | :08:00. | :08:07. | |
of flights this week have spotted virtually nothing. Today, a Chinese | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
plane also reported seeing suspicious objects amid the waves. | :08:11. | :08:17. | |
From the Australian Prime Minister, a word of caution. Our planes and | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
ships continue to search the area for any sign of the missing | :08:22. | :08:29. | |
aircraft. I caution again, Mr Acting Deputy Speaker, that we do not know | :08:30. | :08:35. | |
whether any of these objects are from MH370. And Australian Navy ship | :08:36. | :08:42. | |
is one of the vessel is trying to find that out. It could take days to | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
transport anything they do find the 1500 miles back to dry land. Unless | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
the plane 's crucial black box is found, we may know what happened but | :08:54. | :09:02. | |
we will not know why. Let's go back to that report from our transport | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
correspondent. He has been talking to the British team behind this | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
latest breakthrough with the satellite data. This is the very | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
room where they would have been receiving the data from flight | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
MH370. This is where they have been able to put together new analysis to | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
confirm the aircraft definitely flew south and is definitely somewhere | :09:23. | :09:28. | |
down here. How have you finally concluded this aircraft flew south? | :09:29. | :09:35. | |
We have taken aircraft data and modelled that and put that against | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
the Northern and the southern path. What we discovered was that the path | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
to the south is undoubtedly the one taken. Why has it taken so long to | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
get to this point? We have been dealing with a totally new area. We | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
have been trying to help an investigation based on a single | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
signal once an hour from an aircraft which did not include any GPS data | :10:00. | :10:07. | |
or time and distance material. Our team came up and modelled this. Are | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
you happy with the way the Malaysian 's have processed all this data? The | :10:14. | :10:19. | |
emphasis for the latest must have been on cutting back on the data. | :10:20. | :10:25. | |
They will have been dealing with neighbours they might not | :10:26. | :10:28. | |
necessarily get on with. It is hard for us to criticise them. It will | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
frighten a lot of people that an aircraft can just disappear like | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
this. Can anything be done to stop it happening? If you look at ships | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
on the sea, long-range identification and tracking is a | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
requirement. Aircraft could have their positions reporting now. It | :10:48. | :10:55. | |
would cost less than a dollar an hour. Let's return to Kuala Lumpur, | :10:56. | :11:04. | |
where today's announcement was made and speak to our correspondent, | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
Alastair Leithead. We saw in your report, there was real distress | :11:09. | :11:15. | |
among the relatives, but also anger. Very much so. Until wreckage is | :11:16. | :11:22. | |
recovered, the families of many of those passengers will still deny | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
this has happened. They had a glimmer of hope over the last couple | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
of weeks and they still believe their loved ones could still be | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
alive. In terms of the wreckage, obviously, there have been more | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
thing seen, photographs taken. It appears they have been looking in | :11:38. | :11:45. | |
the right area. We heard from a source who said the two blips seen | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
on the satellite image some days ago were most probably a week. That is | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
what they think, of course. Until they see it, they cannot prove that | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
is the aircraft. The other big question is, what happened? We still | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
do not know whether this was something that was caused by a | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
pilot, a passenger, somebody on board who deliberately made the | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
plane go where it was an crash it in that way or if there was some kind | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
of problem with the aircraft or some kind of failing in the aircraft. I | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
put that to the investigators and they said they could not reveal the | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
information, there was information that they could not show it at this | :12:23. | :12:28. | |
stage. Other news now. Ukraine has ordered the withdrawal of its forces | :12:29. | :12:30. | |
from Crimea after another military base was over-run by Russian troops | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
- the third in the last two days. The crisis there is expected to | :12:35. | :12:36. | |
dominate discussions between the world's key leaders when they meet | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
in the Netherlands tomorrow. President Obama says Europe and | :12:41. | :12:43. | |
America are united in wanting impose what he called a cost on Russia. Our | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
Europe correspondent, Gavin Hewitt, reports. In Crimea, every Ukrainian | :12:49. | :13:00. | |
military base is now under Russian control. Many of the Ukrainian | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
soldiers, without the uniforms, are being pulled out of the region, | :13:05. | :13:13. | |
token resistance has ended. In Moscow in parliament, the flags of | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
Crimea and Sebastopol were added to the flags of Russia 's regions - | :13:18. | :13:23. | |
images intended to demonstrate that from the Russian perspective, Crimea | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
's future has been settled. In the Netherlands, President Obama arrived | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
for a summit on nuclear security but it was completely overshadowed by | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
the crisis in Ukraine. The American president, who was shown a restored | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
museum for Dutch masters, was determined to keep the pressure on | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
Russia and to signal it could not expect a place at the world 's top | :13:46. | :13:53. | |
table for the time being. Europe and America are united in support of the | :13:54. | :13:56. | |
Ukrainian government and the Ukrainian people. We are united in | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
imposing a cost on Russia for its action so far. As the motorcade | :14:01. | :14:07. | |
swept into The Hague, President Putin 's was not among them. The | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
leaders of the worlds most powerful economies the G8 web set to discuss | :14:12. | :14:24. | |
what to do about Russia. Is it time exclude -- to exclude Russia from | :14:25. | :14:30. | |
the G8? We would be meeting tonight the seven other countries of the G8 | :14:31. | :14:33. | |
to determine the way forward. Russia needs to change course. The White | :14:34. | :14:40. | |
House indicated that Russia would not formally be kicked out of the | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
group of eight, more a cold shoulder. For President Obama | :14:46. | :14:49. | |
arriving here, the priority is to try and demonstrate just how | :14:50. | :14:54. | |
isolated Russia is within the international community and also to | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
try to show that the United States and Europe are united when it comes | :14:59. | :15:01. | |
to dealing with Russia over the crisis in Ukraine. On the sidelines | :15:02. | :15:07. | |
of this meeting, there was one more positive sign. There are reports the | :15:08. | :15:12. | |
Russian Foreign Minister is expected to meet his Ukrainian counterpart | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
for the first time. Let's have a look at some of the other stories | :15:17. | :15:18. | |
making the news today. The Co-op bank is facing more | :15:19. | :15:29. | |
problems. It's asking for more money needed to cover unexpected liects | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
such as the miss-selling of insurance and problems in its | :15:34. | :15:42. | |
mortgages division. At the Max Clifford trial, a woman | :15:43. | :15:45. | |
who appeared in the James Bond film Octopussy, said she kicked him | :15:46. | :15:48. | |
really hard in the groin after he pushed her on to a sofa and tried to | :15:49. | :15:53. | |
kiss her. She said he gave her money for lingerie and took pictures of | :15:54. | :15:55. | |
her wearing it. Mr Clifford denies 11 counts of indecent assault. Timmy | :15:56. | :16:03. | |
Tarbuck has been released without charge. North Yorkshire police | :16:04. | :16:08. | |
interviewed him after receiving operation from Operation Yewtree, | :16:09. | :16:13. | |

Sir Jimmy Savile. A 15-year-old boy has appeared in court charged with | :16:26. | :16:28. | |
the murder of schoolgirl, Shereka Marsh, at the weekend. Shereka, who | :16:29. | :16:31. | |
was also 15, was shot in the neck at a house in Hackney in East London. | :16:32. | :16:33. | |
Jo Black reports. Today at school, prayers were said | :16:34. | :17:21. | |
at an assembly by teachers and school friends. Shereka Marsh was an | :17:22. | :17:33. | |
engaging, bubbly personality. She was well liked by everyone in the | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
community. It is the most devastating loss for us. She was | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
such a model pupil, she was even chosen to show guests around her | :17:44. | :17:48. | |
school, including the Jamaican High Commissioner. A short life, full of | :17:49. | :17:51. | |
promise, tragically cut short. Our top story - the relatives of | :17:52. | :18:05. | |
passengers on flight MH370 were told its journey ended in the southern | :18:06. | :18:08. | |
Indian Ocean. It's assumed there are no survivors. Still to come - | :18:09. | :18:15. | |
digging for freedom, the men whose heroics were immortgage allised in | :18:16. | :18:19. | |

And Surrey cricket's new coach hopes Kevin Pietersen will help the club | :18:33. | :18:34. | |
win promotion next season. We have new evidence today of the | :18:35. | :18:46. | |
desperate attempts being made by migrants to enter the UK. Hidden | :18:47. | :18:51. | |
cameras have captured people risking their lives by climbing on the axles | :18:52. | :18:54. | |
of trucks at the entrance to the port of Calais. According to the | :18:55. | :18:57. | |
authorities in the French city, at least 150 migrants a week are | :18:58. | :19:00. | |
successfully reaching the UK by concealing themselves on trucks. | :19:01. | :19:02. | |
According to one charity, since 2002, 200 have been killed trying to | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
get to the UK. The BBC has discovered five migrants have been | :19:07. | :19:09. | |
killed in the last six weeks alone. Our correspondent Colin Campbell has | :19:10. | :19:10. | |
this exclusive BBC investigation. Night and day, George, hundreds of | :19:11. | :19:27. | |
migrants are trying to break in to UK December tinned trucks here in | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
Calais, or conceal themselves on board the vehicles. There's one | :19:32. | :19:34. | |
common aim - to get to the UK as soon as possible. And their efforts | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
are relentless and often very dangerous. | :19:40. | :19:43. | |
Night-time in Calais. A truck we fitted with cameras stops at a | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
junction near the port. In seconds, two men crawl beneath the vehicle. | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
Precariously they try to balance on the rear axel. These are migrants | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
trying to get to Britain from France. You are risking your lives | :19:59. | :20:00. | |
by getting on this truck. Calais is again experiencing a surge | :20:01. | :20:15. | |
in migrant numbers. Many Syrians are now arriving. They say they fled war | :20:16. | :20:20. | |
and persecution. This is the real danger point. This is the approach | :20:21. | :20:24. | |
to the ferry terminal. As you can see, there is a huge queue of trucks | :20:25. | :20:28. | |
here and waiting in the bushes, we have seen scores of migrants and | :20:29. | :20:33. | |
they've been quite brazenly trying to break into the trucks. Look just | :20:34. | :20:39. | |
down there. The French authorities here blame the British Government | :20:40. | :20:43. | |
for not providing enough assistance. We are strengthening our borders and | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
returning more people who get here illegally. We have invested in the | :20:48. | :20:51. | |
UK Border Force, doing a good job. We are also making sure that people | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
who come here can't immediately claim benefits. Another truck, one | :20:56. | :21:01. | |
we have arranged to follow, another risking his life. On this occasion, | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
the truck moves off unaware it's gained a passenger. We called the | :21:06. | :21:12. | |
driver as soon as we can to alert him. Dave, you need to slow down | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
very slowly. You've got one in your axel. Slow down very slowly now. | :21:17. | :21:24. | |
Once stationary the stow-away climbs out. You could kill yourself. I | :21:25. | :21:29. | |
don't know how to say it to you, but this country is not good to live in, | :21:30. | :21:33. | |
you know. You have to go to England. The pressure on drivers is huge. I | :21:34. | :21:37. | |
would never have known they were there. I was looking in the mirror | :21:38. | :21:42. | |
and looking down the road to pull out. Something somewhere has to | :21:43. | :21:46. | |
change, because you can kill people. In search of a better life, willing | :21:47. | :21:51. | |
to risk it all. Some here are succeeding in their quest, but | :21:52. | :21:57. | |
others are paying with their lives. Although David Cameron is confident | :21:58. | :22:01. | |
Britain is doing its bit, there is real concern here in France that the | :22:02. | :22:04. | |
British Government isn't doing enough. The French authorities in | :22:05. | :22:07. | |
Calais say Calais simply cannot cope at the moment with the number of | :22:08. | :22:13. | |
migrants sleeping rough in the town. The Home Secretary has been invited | :22:14. | :22:17. | |
out here to Calais to take a look at things for herself, but until now | :22:18. | :22:22. | |
hasn't taken up the offer. Viewers in the South East can see | :22:23. | :22:29. | |
more on that story at 6.30pm on BBC1. The Oscar Pistorius murder | :22:30. | :22:32. | |
trial has been hearing about text messages exchanged between the | :22:33. | :22:34. | |
athlete and his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp. In one Miss Steenkamp | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
said she was scared of the athlete's temper. Oscar Pistorius shot his | :22:39. | :22:41. | |
girlfriend on Valentine's Day last year. He says he mistook her for an | :22:42. | :22:44. | |
intruder. Andrew Harding was in court. | :22:45. | :22:51. | |
A bruising day ahead for Oscar Pistorius, the athlete's | :22:52. | :22:57. | |
relationship with Reeva Steenkamp under scrutiny for the first time. | :22:58. | :23:02. | |
The prosecution revealing evidence from the couple's mobile phones, | :23:03. | :23:06. | |
shown here being recovered from the crime scene. In particular, a series | :23:07. | :23:14. | |
of bitter text messages. I know you aren't happy and I'm certainly very | :23:15. | :23:19. | |
unhappy and sad. In public, they were South Africa's most glamorous | :23:20. | :23:23. | |
new couple, but today, we heard evidence of public fights and | :23:24. | :23:28. | |
private tiers in the weeks -- tears, in the weeks before Reeva | :23:29. | :23:30. | |
Steenkamp's death. Pistorius appeared to weep, but | :23:31. | :23:49. | |
there was worse to come. Reeva Steenkamp saying she felt | :23:50. | :23:53. | |
threatened. I'm scared of you sometimes and how you snap at me and | :23:54. | :23:59. | |
of how you react. The police expert acknowledged that 90% of the | :24:00. | :24:03. | |
messages between the couple were loving, but the damage had already | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
been done. In court today, Oscar Pistorius was revealed as a jealous, | :24:08. | :24:12. | |
possessive, at times, angrily Dom nearing boyfriend. That doesn't | :24:13. | :24:17. | |
prove he killed Reeva Steenkamp deliberately, but the athlete has | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
his work cut off as he prepares to take to the witness stand himself | :24:22. | :24:23. | |
perhaps later this week. Hundreds of people gathered in | :24:24. | :24:37. | |
Poland today to commemorate the men who died while taking part in what | :24:38. | :24:40. | |
came to be known as The Great Escape. 70 years ago scores of | :24:41. | :24:43. | |
servicemen held in the German prisoner of war camp - Stalag Luft | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
III - made their bid for freedom. Our correspondent Robert Hall is in | :24:48. | :24:53. | |
the Polish town of Zagan. One by one, they carried the photographs | :24:54. | :25:00. | |
along the forest track. 50 serving RAF personnel representing 50 men | :25:01. | :25:04. | |
from another generation, who used their captivity to fight back. Under | :25:05. | :25:13. | |
the surrounding pines, moss-covered brick and concrete provide the only | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
remaining links to a war-time story which spawned a Hollywood | :25:19. | :25:27. | |
blockbuster. The story of an ambitious plan to tunnel out what | :25:28. | :25:31. | |
was billed as an escape-proof camp and allow a record number of allied | :25:32. | :25:38. | |
airmen to head for home. It was quite remarkable. When you think | :25:39. | :25:46. | |
that that tunnel was dug by people with half tools and with a deep | :25:47. | :25:52. | |
secrecy. We knew it was being planned because there was work going | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
on in the room next to me, making uniforms. Three tunnels were dug. | :25:58. | :26:03. | |
Only one was used. The final tunnel, code named Harry stretched over 100 | :26:04. | :26:08. | |
metres under the outer fence. It is still lying beneath the feet of | :26:09. | :26:11. | |
those who visit the spot where more than 70 men made a break for | :26:12. | :26:16. | |
freedom. This morning, military chiefs from Britain, Poland and the | :26:17. | :26:21. | |
Commonwealth paid their tributes to those who planned to fight back from | :26:22. | :26:25. | |
behind the wire. When first captured they did not accept that for them | :26:26. | :26:32. | |
the war was over. Far from it, they were not prisoner of wars, they were | :26:33. | :26:40. | |
prisoners at war. At the tunnel exit, veterans joined families from | :26:41. | :26:44. | |
around the world, their wreaths bright under a grey winter sky. On | :26:45. | :26:54. | |
film and in reality, The Great Escape will endure long after the | :26:55. | :26:56. | |
last eyewitnesses have departed. Time for a luck at the weather with | :26:57. | :27:08. | |
Alex. It was a frosty start and it will be a cold working week, but | :27:09. | :27:12. | |
tonight it won't be as cold, not as frosty and a little milder because | :27:13. | :27:17. | |
there's more cloud and outbreaks of rain trickling eastwards. Very slow | :27:18. | :27:23. | |
through the Midlands. Getting into south-east England and parts of | :27:24. | :27:26. | |
southern Scotland. It doesn't reach the east. It will be cold. Turning | :27:27. | :27:31. | |
cold as the rain clears in the south-west, but for most towns and | :27:32. | :27:34. | |
cities we are five or six above freezing, so not as cold in the | :27:35. | :27:37. | |
morning, but a very different day. The sunshine replaced by lots of | :27:38. | :27:41. | |
cloud and outbreaks of rain, which trickle east, but never reach the | :27:42. | :27:44. | |
east and start to push back, allowing many eastern areas to | :27:45. | :27:47. | |
brighten up through the afternoon. We could see skies brightening | :27:48. | :27:57. | |
across the east. Maybe see some sunny intervals across Northern | :27:58. | :28:00. | |
Ireland, but a few showers here and down the spine of the UK there will | :28:01. | :28:08. | |
be a lot of rain. Some sunshine across East Anglia and for South | :28:09. | :28:12. | |
Wales and south-west England a much brighter day, with sunshine, but the | :28:13. | :28:16. | |
rain does return here tomorrow evening. Perhaps lingering into | :28:17. | :28:20. | |
Wednesday. A touch of blue on the map again, so again a cold and | :28:21. | :28:23. | |
possibly frosty start to Wednesday. And also picking up the winds | :28:24. | :28:27. | |
copping in from the north see and bringing a real chill and showery | :28:28. | :28:31. | |
outbreaks of rain into the east, but for many western areas, there will | :28:32. | :28:34. | |
be sunshine again on Wednesday, but even with the sun, temperatures | :28:35. | :28:38. | |
struggling to reach double figures. That wind making it feel raw on the | :28:39. | :28:42. | |
North Sea coast and it's there on Thursday. A reversal with brighter | :28:43. | :28:46. | |
skies maybe in the east and still showers in the west. It will be a | :28:47. | :28:50. | |
chilly old week, George. Rais thank you. That's all from the BBC news at | :28:51. | :28:53. | |
six, so it's | :28:54. | :28:55. |
