:00:15. > :00:27.and until it's confirmed, relatives continue to hope. Until there is

:00:28. > :00:31.concrete proof that those passengers are dead, I can't let go of that.

:00:32. > :00:33.Ships are on their way to the new search area in the Indian Ocean.

:00:34. > :00:36.We'll bring you the latest. Also tonight: Do you know what your

:00:37. > :00:38.children are watching online? New figures for how many are

:00:39. > :00:42.watching pornography. Two people in the UK catch TB from

:00:43. > :00:45.their cats, the first known cases in the world.

:00:46. > :00:46.And tears of joy for the woman born deaf, hearing sounds for the first

:00:47. > :01:01.time. Tower block danger - a new report

:01:02. > :01:06.says hundreds of thousands could be at risk if a fire breaks out.

:01:07. > :01:07.And Max Clifford brands women who've accused him of sexual assault as

:01:08. > :01:31.fantasists. Good evening and welcome to the BBC

:01:32. > :01:34.News at Six. The search for the missing Malaysian

:01:35. > :01:37.Airlines plane has taken another twist. Now unidentified objects in

:01:38. > :01:44.the southern Indian Ocean, which could be debris from flight MH370,

:01:45. > :01:48.have been spotted by plane. Until now, debris had only been seen from

:01:49. > :01:51.satellites. They were found after the area being searched was shifted

:01:52. > :01:58.700 miles north east, off the west coast of Australia, on the basis of

:01:59. > :02:01.new analysis of radar data. It's now three weeks since the plane

:02:02. > :02:05.disappeared but many of the relatives in Beijing are refusing to

:02:06. > :02:17.give up hope. From there, Damian Grammaticas sent this report.

:02:18. > :02:23.21 days, and still nothing. Today, the search shifted 700 miles north,

:02:24. > :02:29.based on new consolations about how far flight H 370 could have flown.

:02:30. > :02:33.This continuing analysis indicates the plane was travelling faster than

:02:34. > :02:38.previously estimated, resulting in increased fuel usage and reducing

:02:39. > :02:43.the possible distance it travelled south into the Indian Ocean. And

:02:44. > :02:48.there were new sightings, unidentified objects in the sea.

:02:49. > :02:51.Photos have now been brought back to Australia for analysis, but until

:02:52. > :02:57.the objects can be retrieved there is no way of knowing if they are

:02:58. > :03:02.rubbish or pieces the missing plane. Until there is concrete proof that

:03:03. > :03:07.those passengers are dead, I can't let go of that. Proof is what the

:03:08. > :03:16.families crave. Sarah's partner was on MH370. Without it she believes he

:03:17. > :03:20.may still be alive. I like to tell my -- myself he is sitting someplace

:03:21. > :03:24.thinking about me and putting positive energy into staying safe.

:03:25. > :03:31.And that he will come back to you? Absolutely. The only alternative to

:03:32. > :03:35.that scenario is that he is still strapped in a seat at the bottom of

:03:36. > :03:39.the ocean, and I'm not sure I want to live with that. And can you

:03:40. > :03:46.believe what you are being told? No, of course not. We have not heard one

:03:47. > :03:52.concrete, credible thing out of them that has not somehow been

:03:53. > :03:57.discredited after the fact. And the Chinese relatives no longer believe

:03:58. > :04:01.what they are being told. Today, all 150 families staged a walk-out from

:04:02. > :04:06.their daily briefing by Malaysia and officials. We are not satisfied with

:04:07. > :04:12.what they are telling us, she said. They are just wasting our time here.

:04:13. > :04:16.The Malaysians were left facing an empty room, deliberately humiliated.

:04:17. > :04:22.Can I ask what you are waiting for now? This was not a press

:04:23. > :04:26.conference. There was no answer. We are trying our best, they insisted,

:04:27. > :04:32.before leaving. They can't give the families what they want. They want a

:04:33. > :04:35.clear answer to where the plane is and where their loved ones are. The

:04:36. > :04:40.families are gathering to decide their next step, but every day this

:04:41. > :04:45.goes on, their frustration is growing and so is their mistrust

:04:46. > :04:49.towards the airline. Every day the search effort is gathering pace, but

:04:50. > :04:52.until it yields something, few of the families can accept that their

:04:53. > :04:54.loved ones are really lost. And our Sydney correspondent, Jon

:04:55. > :05:00.Donnison, is in Perth, where the search operation is based. You've

:05:01. > :05:08.just got off one of the spotter planes. What are the pilots saying

:05:09. > :05:13.about the debris they've seen? I have just come off an 11 hour flight

:05:14. > :05:18.and the aircrew on that Australian air force plane felt it was the most

:05:19. > :05:22.positive day they had. We saw several objects in the water. They

:05:23. > :05:28.were then firing flares into the water to try to mark the spot where

:05:29. > :05:33.they had spotted the debris. The problem is that you spot it, but you

:05:34. > :05:37.are going at 200 mph, very low over the water, and by the time they have

:05:38. > :05:41.turned the plane around and get back, it is difficult to find it

:05:42. > :05:47.again. The truth is that until the ships managed to pick up some of the

:05:48. > :05:50.debris, potential debris, have a look at it, identify it, we are not

:05:51. > :05:56.going to know if it is connected to MH370. The thing is, it has been

:05:57. > :06:00.three weeks. Even when they do find debris, it will have now drifted

:06:01. > :06:06.possibly hundreds of miles from where the plane actually crashed.

:06:07. > :06:10.Do you know what your children are watching online? According to the

:06:11. > :06:12.online video regulator, thousands of children, some as young as six, are

:06:13. > :06:16.watching pornography on the internet. Nearly 500,000 people

:06:17. > :06:20.under the age of 18 accessed adult material last December alone. But

:06:21. > :06:24.the figures don't include smartphones and tablets so the real

:06:25. > :06:33.number is likely to be far higher. Our technology correspondent Rory

:06:34. > :06:36.Cellan-Jones has more. What children see on the web has

:06:37. > :06:41.long been a worry for parents. Now there is real evidence that they are

:06:42. > :06:46.visiting adult websites. The search for the online video regulator

:06:47. > :06:50.tracked 45,000 internet users with the same techniques as those for TV

:06:51. > :06:54.ratings and found out how many children were visiting pornography

:06:55. > :06:57.websites. Figures show that in one month nearly one quarter of all

:06:58. > :07:04.internet users visited and in -- and adult site, but nearly half a

:07:05. > :07:13.million were 18 # under 18. One site alone was visited by over 100,000

:07:14. > :07:19.boys. If you go into a licensed sex shop and you are under 18, you are

:07:20. > :07:22.thrown out, let alone buying a DVD. Thousands of primary school children

:07:23. > :07:28.upwards are accessing material that you could not entertain before.

:07:29. > :07:32.There is positive content but there are other things to consider.

:07:33. > :07:37.Parents at an internet safety evening said it was a huge concern

:07:38. > :07:41.to them. I was not aware it was that easy. I thought there might be some

:07:42. > :07:46.sort of PIN number, or you had to apply for it, not that you could

:07:47. > :07:49.stumble across it. I feel very strongly that I try to protect my

:07:50. > :07:55.children and somebody out there decides to put something on the web.

:07:56. > :07:58.Clear evidence that children as young as primary school age are

:07:59. > :08:02.visiting websites offering pornographic videos with no form of

:08:03. > :08:07.age control. The problem is that these websites are based outside the

:08:08. > :08:13.UK, but the regulator has an idea on how to put pressure on them. Follow

:08:14. > :08:16.the money. The regulator wants new laws to make payment companies stop

:08:17. > :09:03.providing services to websites that do The aim is to reduce the housing

:09:04. > :09:07.benefit budget and encourage those living in homes bigger than they

:09:08. > :09:09.need to move to smaller ones, thus freeing up much needed social

:09:10. > :09:12.housing stock. But figures obtained by the BBC suggest that so far it's

:09:13. > :09:19.having a limited effect. Our social affairs correspondent Michael

:09:20. > :09:21.Buchanan reports. Moving home is something that social

:09:22. > :09:24.housing tenants do far less than those in the private renting

:09:25. > :09:29.sector, so the government hoped that by cutting benefit for tenants with

:09:30. > :09:36.spare bedrooms, not only with the welfare budget be reduced, but

:09:37. > :09:40.larger homes would become available. In Hull, Jane Dennis shows me around

:09:41. > :09:44.her new one-bedroom flat. She has downsized from a three-bedroom

:09:45. > :09:50.house, where she was building a rent arrears. I have a smaller place now,

:09:51. > :09:54.so it is easier to clean and keep on top of things. Because you don't

:09:55. > :10:00.need a big place when you are on your own. And you don't have to

:10:01. > :10:07.worry about your rent. No. I am not getting in rent arrears. Her house

:10:08. > :10:10.used to be a dilapidated bedsit over an alleyway. Her housing association

:10:11. > :10:15.are now converting them into much-needed one-bedroom flats.

:10:16. > :10:19.Turning these condemned buildings into comfortable one-bedroom flats

:10:20. > :10:22.is a positive outcome from this welfare change, but the bottom line

:10:23. > :10:24.is that there simply are not enough smaller properties for people to

:10:25. > :10:30.move into, and so they are not moving. We have gathered data from

:10:31. > :10:35.over 200 local authorities, and over 100 housing associations.

:10:36. > :10:40.Information from councils in Scotland, England and Wales suggests

:10:41. > :10:44.6% of council tenants whose benefit was reduced have moved. If you add

:10:45. > :10:48.the figures from the housing associations, 28% of tenants who

:10:49. > :10:52.were debt free a year ago are now in rent arrears, and councils are

:10:53. > :10:55.sitting on millions of pounds of emergency funding given to them by

:10:56. > :11:01.government to help tenants affected by the policy. Ministers say the

:11:02. > :11:07.benefit cut was necessary and it is saving taxpayers over ?1 million a

:11:08. > :11:10.day. We are working with people like home exchange, making sure people

:11:11. > :11:15.build the right size properties, because for too long they had not.

:11:16. > :11:17.We are still seeing some housing associations building three-bedroom

:11:18. > :11:24.accommodation when we need one-bedroom and two bedroom. In

:11:25. > :11:28.Aberdeen, the Smith family are still waiting for a larger home. Five of

:11:29. > :11:32.them live in a two bedroom flat, currently all sleeping in the same

:11:33. > :11:38.room while damp is removed from a bedroom. It is not fair for people

:11:39. > :11:43.like us who have no chance of getting out of the situation we are

:11:44. > :11:46.in. Most people who have their benefit cut have stayed and paid,

:11:47. > :11:50.but the full impact of the policy has not yet been fully felt.

:11:51. > :11:52.The former Radio One DJ Dave Lee Travis says his "nightmare is

:11:53. > :11:55.continuing", after it was announced he's to face a further charge of

:11:56. > :12:00.indecent assault. Last month, Mr Travis was cleared of 12 offences.

:12:01. > :12:03.But he was told he'll face a retrial on two charges of indecent and

:12:04. > :12:06.sexual assault on which the jury failed to agree verdicts.

:12:07. > :12:09.The husband of the former News International boss Rebekah Brooks

:12:10. > :12:12.has told the phone hacking trial that he and his wife were appalled

:12:13. > :12:15.by revelations that the schoolgirl Milly Dowler's phone had been

:12:16. > :12:18.hacked. Charlie Brooks also said his wife was desperate to avoid being

:12:19. > :12:22.photographed being led away in handcuffs, as she believed it would

:12:23. > :12:26.end her career. He's accused of conspiring to pervert the course of

:12:27. > :12:31.justice. The couple and five other defendants deny all charges.

:12:32. > :12:34.Cat owners are being reassured that the risk of catching tuberculosis

:12:35. > :12:38.from their pets is very small, after two people in Britain caught TB from

:12:39. > :12:47.their cats, the first known cases in the world. Our medical correspondent

:12:48. > :12:53.Fergus Walsh has more. For millions of cat owners, this

:12:54. > :12:56.news may come as a shock. Two people in Berkshire are recovering after

:12:57. > :13:03.being infected with TB by their captors. It was this a vet in

:13:04. > :13:11.Newbury who raised the alarm after a cluster of nine cats in one small

:13:12. > :13:14.area got bovine TB. My theory is that a stray cat has become infected

:13:15. > :13:18.by hunting and infected small animal, or by meeting and infected

:13:19. > :13:22.badger, and has been going through this territory and maybe had fights

:13:23. > :13:28.with other cats. You can see it is like an arc that he has been

:13:29. > :13:32.wandering along. The cats all had bovine TB, which primarily affects

:13:33. > :13:36.cattle but can be spread by infected wildlife. The bacteria can be

:13:37. > :13:40.breathed in, or passed on through cuts in the skin. Humans can be

:13:41. > :13:46.cured with a six-month course of antibiotics. Every year, if you

:13:47. > :13:51.people get bovine TB, also called M bovis, but health officials say

:13:52. > :13:56.thousands get TB as a result of human to human transmission. The

:13:57. > :14:01.numbers of human cases of M bovis are very low, especially compared to

:14:02. > :14:06.the human form of tuberculosis. We get up to 35 cases a year, the

:14:07. > :14:11.majority in older groups of people who may have been exposed in the

:14:12. > :14:15.past. The plain fact is that I have more chance of winning the lottery

:14:16. > :14:20.jackpot, or being struck by lightning, than of catching TB from

:14:21. > :14:26.my cat, Merlin. But cats can pass on other diseases. Pregnant women are

:14:27. > :14:32.advised to avoid changing cat litter, because of a parasite that

:14:33. > :14:38.can be passed on, which can cause birth defects or miscarriages. All

:14:39. > :14:43.of the TB infected cats had open wounds and had lost weight. Any pets

:14:44. > :14:56.showing signs of sickness should be taken to a vet. Our top story this

:14:57. > :14:59.evening. The search area for the missing Malaysian airlines flight

:15:00. > :15:03.moves as for the first time debris is seen by spotter planes. And still

:15:04. > :15:06.to come... A woman deaf since birth describes how hearing for the first

:15:07. > :15:14.time even the most ordinary sounds has been overwhelming. Even like a

:15:15. > :15:21.light switch. When I first did it, I tried it about ten times because I

:15:22. > :15:24.have to hear it again and again. On BBC London. In memory of the

:15:25. > :15:29.schoolgirl shot dead in Hackney. How her friends are now fundraising for

:15:30. > :15:31.her funeral. And the vote for your favourite skyscraper. We will hear

:15:32. > :15:41.from one of the world's leading architects.

:15:42. > :15:45.Since last November we've been tracking the pressures on hospital

:15:46. > :15:48.A departments and minor injury units. Before the winter started

:15:49. > :15:51.there were concerns that many would struggle to see most patients within

:15:52. > :15:54.four hours, and now we know how they've been getting on. In December

:15:55. > :15:58.in England, 95% did see patients within four hours. With the figure

:15:59. > :16:05.in Scotland slightly lower. Wales was lower again and Northern Ireland

:16:06. > :16:07.lagged behind with 76%. As our health correspondent Branwen

:16:08. > :16:18.Jefferies reports, a mild winter has eased the load. Another patient

:16:19. > :16:21.arrives at Barnsley A This winter, the hospital hired extra

:16:22. > :16:25.staff, open more beds, trying to cope with the growing numbers using

:16:26. > :16:32.this busy casualty and avoid the chaos of Sundays last year. Output

:16:33. > :16:37.you on your side. Relax your head and shoulders. Mark came in by

:16:38. > :16:41.ambulance, sent by his GP to have his heart checked. Despite big

:16:42. > :16:46.campaigns, many others who aren't seriously ill turnabout A,

:16:47. > :16:52.something he simply can't understand. Accident and emergency,

:16:53. > :16:58.that's what it is. A sniffle or a cough isn't an emergency. You can go

:16:59. > :17:02.to your pharmacist. So what makes a difference to A? One of the

:17:03. > :17:08.mildest winters in the last 100 years, hardly any flu or vomiting

:17:09. > :17:13.bugs. If you get a severe headache or weakness in your arm, anything

:17:14. > :17:17.that is worrying you. Barnsley, like many hospitals, got some extra

:17:18. > :17:21.money. And, like many big units, still missed the target is to seek

:17:22. > :17:28.patients in four hours, even though nurses came in on days off, senior

:17:29. > :17:31.doctors covered junior night shifts because of staff shortages. The only

:17:32. > :17:35.reason that the quality of care and patient safety has been maintained

:17:36. > :17:41.is that the staff have all been working to maximum. They've been

:17:42. > :17:44.pulling all the stops out to ensure that patients who do come here get

:17:45. > :17:50.what we would expect for our families. Emergency units are

:17:51. > :17:55.working very close to the limit of their capacity. The NHS this winter

:17:56. > :17:59.did a lot of planning and has had some luck. But the long-term

:18:00. > :18:04.pressures on A departments like this are just as great as ever. For

:18:05. > :18:11.anyone running a hospital, the biggest problem... How to get enough

:18:12. > :18:16.staff to meet those targets? Every chief executive probably has the A

:18:17. > :18:19.performance at the top of their agenda at every meeting.

:18:20. > :18:24.Unfortunately, money can't buy the people that we need to deliver it.

:18:25. > :18:28.We are all trying to recruit the same type of people, extra

:18:29. > :18:32.consultants, doctors and nurses. And that's part of the long-term

:18:33. > :18:36.challenge for emergency units. Winter may be over but they are just

:18:37. > :18:39.as busy as ever. There's been a huge response to our website tracking the

:18:40. > :18:43.performance of hospitals in England through the winter. So if you'd like

:18:44. > :18:44.to find out how your local A is performing, take a look at

:18:45. > :18:54.bbc.co.uk/news/nhswinter. Some of Britain's biggest financial

:18:55. > :18:57.institutions have seen hundreds of millions of pounds wiped off their

:18:58. > :19:01.share values after it was announced that the industry is to be the

:19:02. > :19:03.subject of a new inquiry. The Financial Conduct Authority is to

:19:04. > :19:05.investigate 30 million financial policies, such as pensions and

:19:06. > :19:10.endowments dating back to the 1970's. Our personal finance

:19:11. > :19:17.correspondent Simon Gompertz is here. Presumably this is to check

:19:18. > :19:21.people weren't being ripped off back then. It will be, and it's another

:19:22. > :19:24.big blow for the insurance companies. They've already been told

:19:25. > :19:28.people don't have to buy pension annuities from them, there's been a

:19:29. > :19:33.clamp-down on new pensions. This look at older pensions, endowments

:19:34. > :19:41.and other savings policies will be huge. The total savings add up to

:19:42. > :19:45.?150 billion, between the 70s and about the year 2000. The charges on

:19:46. > :19:51.those can have been quite high. For instance, of the money you put in,

:19:52. > :19:54.potentially 5% an initial charge lopped off, then another charge if

:19:55. > :20:00.you wanted to take the money out early, in some cases that added up

:20:01. > :20:05.to 50% extra charges lopped off your savings. A big deal. What's going to

:20:06. > :20:11.happen? I don't think it's going to be a compensation bonanza on the

:20:12. > :20:15.scale of the PPI pay-outs, which were ?20 billion so far. Because the

:20:16. > :20:18.FCA, the city watchdog, have said they are not going to be

:20:19. > :20:21.retrospective, they will not tear up the terms and conditions people

:20:22. > :20:25.agree to years ago, but they will look at how fair the situation is

:20:26. > :20:29.now. If they decide it is unfair, they could put a lot of pressure on

:20:30. > :20:32.insurance companies to reduce their charges. That would hit their

:20:33. > :20:41.profits and hence the impact on their shares today. Some insurance

:20:42. > :20:44.shares were down 16% at one point. Police in South Wales say a body

:20:45. > :20:47.found near Newport yesterday is that of the missing teenager Nida Naseer.

:20:48. > :20:51.The 19-year-old was last seen alive three months ago. The cause of her

:20:52. > :20:54.death is not yet known but police say they are not looking for anyone

:20:55. > :20:59.else in connection with what happened. The publicist Max Clifford

:21:00. > :21:01.has called the women who have accused him of sexual assault

:21:02. > :21:04."fantasists and opportunists". During a heated cross-examination at

:21:05. > :21:07.his trial, Mr Clifford said the allegations against him were

:21:08. > :21:15."rubbish". He denies eleven charges brought by seven women over nearly

:21:16. > :21:18.two decades. Thousands of fishermen along Britain's southern and western

:21:19. > :21:21.coasts are still struggling to overcome the impact of the recent

:21:22. > :21:24.winter storms. Months of high winds and high seas left many unable to

:21:25. > :21:28.work, and caused millions of pounds worth of damage, forcing many into

:21:29. > :21:40.debt. Our Wales correspondent Hywel Griffith has more. Washed away. Sean

:21:41. > :21:45.Williams has been fishing off this peninsula for over a quarter of a

:21:46. > :21:49.century. But this winter's storms have left him struggling for

:21:50. > :21:53.survival. I've got over 50 pots missing because they've moved so

:21:54. > :21:59.much. It's impossible to know where they've gone. Across the Welsh

:22:00. > :22:06.coast, weeks of giant waves and winds reaching 108 mph have kept

:22:07. > :22:10.fishermen on the land and left their equipment exposed. Sean is already

:22:11. > :22:17.?15,000 out of pocket. He will feel the storm's impact for the rest of

:22:18. > :22:20.the year. It's the worst weather I've ever experienced, and there are

:22:21. > :22:24.people who have been fishing for over 50 years and they've never seen

:22:25. > :22:30.such extreme weather. And to see the continuation of the weather, it's

:22:31. > :22:35.been blowing gales every day, for ten, 11 weeks. Even now the

:22:36. > :22:39.conditions remain challenging. The catch is 75% down on what it should

:22:40. > :22:44.be. In the last ten weeks this boat has been able to go out fewer than

:22:45. > :22:48.ten times. Even though the waves are calm enough to look at the pots they

:22:49. > :22:52.can find at the moment, there is very little in them, which means

:22:53. > :22:57.fishermen going out at the moment are having to work at a loss. Many

:22:58. > :23:04.have had to turn to charities to cover bills and mortgages. But they,

:23:05. > :23:08.too, are seeing the money ran out. It has been unprecedented. A lot of

:23:09. > :23:12.fishermen are telling me they are having threatening letters, letters

:23:13. > :23:17.saying they will send the bailiffs round. A lot of them are worried

:23:18. > :23:23.they will never ever be able to go back to fishing. For those who

:23:24. > :23:27.invested a lifetime in fishing Britain's shores, giving up maybe

:23:28. > :23:38.unthinkable. But it has left them questioning where they can go from

:23:39. > :23:41.here. Imagine hearing for the first time after a lifetime of silence.

:23:42. > :23:44.The moment 39-year-old Joanne Milne's life was transformed, thanks

:23:45. > :23:48.to cochlear implants, was filmed by her mother. Joanne burst into tears

:23:49. > :23:51.when she heard a nurse reading out the days of the week. She was born

:23:52. > :23:55.deaf and during her 20's she also began to lose her sight, due to a

:23:56. > :24:08.rare medical condition. Danny Savage has been to meet her. Monday,

:24:09. > :24:14.Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday... Friday, Saturday, Sunday. A look of

:24:15. > :24:20.shock and disbelief. For the first time in her life, Jo Milne has just

:24:21. > :24:30.heard another human voice. It's been fantastic. It's all right. It is a

:24:31. > :24:33.big, big life changing day today. Medics have switched on cochlear

:24:34. > :24:38.implants which have been put in her ears. A world of sound has just

:24:39. > :24:42.opened up to the 39-year-old. Daily February, March, April, May, June,

:24:43. > :24:56.November, December. Back home in Gateshead today, Jo and

:24:57. > :25:01.her mum discuss what it's like to hear herself talking. I've had a few

:25:02. > :25:10.days to get used to it now but back on Monday it was very, very strange,

:25:11. > :25:18.to hear my accent, my Geordie accent. It was amazing because I

:25:19. > :25:22.thought we would sound very similar. My mum had her own voice, I had my

:25:23. > :25:29.own voice, the therapist had her own voice. It was baffling. And it was

:25:30. > :25:34.her mum, Anne, who filmed the moment Jo's hearing came to her, although

:25:35. > :25:40.it wasn't the reaction she was expecting. No, I was expecting her

:25:41. > :25:44.to go, I can hear! She just burst into tears. It was just her

:25:45. > :25:53.emotional. I had tears running down. The charity worker also has

:25:54. > :25:57.very poor eyesight, but has been told to get out as much as possible

:25:58. > :26:01.to listen to the world and learn sounds. The noisy kittiwakes which

:26:02. > :26:07.nest under the Tyne Bridge are familiar to many people here, but

:26:08. > :26:13.not to Jo. The number of times I have walked under the Tyne Bridge

:26:14. > :26:22.and not realised the sound of the birds. I can hear them now. That is

:26:23. > :26:27.my sound of today. The film of a hearing for the first time has gone

:26:28. > :26:32.viral. Jo turns 40 this summer and says life really is beginning for

:26:33. > :26:36.her. Danny Savage, BBC News, Tyneside. Not a dry eye in the

:26:37. > :26:48.house, what a great story! Much better weather on the way for

:26:49. > :26:51.the weekend. We'll be losing the showers and thunderstorms. It's been

:26:52. > :26:56.another very busy day on the rainfall picture. Heavy downpours

:26:57. > :27:00.spiralling around the south-west. This afternoon, we saw this line of

:27:01. > :27:04.fierce storms with hail and thunder in Coventry and work across the West

:27:05. > :27:08.Midlands. That has spread across Wales. There's more to come

:27:09. > :27:11.overnight. We are gradually shifting the showers further west and then

:27:12. > :27:15.clearing away for the weekend, but still some outbreaks of rain for

:27:16. > :27:19.parts of the UK overnight. The touch of frost in the north-west Highlands

:27:20. > :27:24.and rural parts of north-eastern England. But it is all change for

:27:25. > :27:28.the weekend. Temperatures on the up, the showers gone for a while. It

:27:29. > :27:32.is still quite breezy but not the cold wind we've had recently. A

:27:33. > :27:36.fairly slow start in the morning. Still a bit of rain further west and

:27:37. > :27:39.in Scotland, gradually clearing away. Some coming back into Northern

:27:40. > :27:44.Ireland during the afternoon. The main thing will be increasing

:27:45. > :27:51.amounts of hazy sunshine and warmth. A bit of rain threatening the Isles

:27:52. > :27:53.of Scilly on both Saturday and Sunday. Elsewhere, mainly dry for

:27:54. > :27:56.the afternoon. It will feel very different. Note the strength of the

:27:57. > :28:00.wind, a brisk southeasterly. For Northern Ireland, a lot of cloud and

:28:01. > :28:05.some rain heading through early afternoon, slowly brightening in

:28:06. > :28:09.Scotland. Down the eastern side of north-east England, a lot of low

:28:10. > :28:15.cloud, mist and maybe some drizzle, not just on Saturday but Sunday,

:28:16. > :28:18.too. It stays quite cool. On Sunday the clocks go forward, it's the

:28:19. > :28:22.start of British summer Time. That's got nothing to do with the weather,

:28:23. > :28:25.however, there is still some warmth out there with hazy sunshine, even a

:28:26. > :28:38.little bit warmer than Saturday. A reminder of our main story. The

:28:39. > :28:41.search area for the missing Malaysian airlines flight moves as

:28:42. > :28:44.for the first time spotter planes find debris. That's all from the BBC

:28:45. > :28:45.News at Six so it's goodbye from
