:00:11. > :00:20.UN says no nation will be left untouched. Scientists warn crops,

:00:21. > :00:27.health, and homes are all likely to be threatened. The world has too

:00:28. > :00:31.adapt. The sooner we do that, the less the chances of some of the

:00:32. > :00:34.worst impacts of climate change. We'll be asking how the world can

:00:35. > :00:37.learn to live with the effects of climate change. Also tonight... The

:00:38. > :00:39.murder of an 11-month-old baby by his mother could have been

:00:40. > :00:47.prevented, according to a serious case review. Families of those who

:00:48. > :00:54.lost their lives in the Hillsborough football disaster attend new

:00:55. > :00:56.inquests which opened today. The search for flight MH370, new

:00:57. > :01:01.information on the last recorded words from the flight deck. And

:01:02. > :01:05.dredging of rivers on the Somerset Levels begins to avoid a repeat of

:01:06. > :01:08.this winter's flooding. On BBC London. Looking to the US for

:01:09. > :01:12.solutions. Could body cameras help boost public trust in the Met? And

:01:13. > :01:14.the Mayor of Tower Hamlets denies he's given funding to charities to

:01:15. > :01:42.gain electoral support. The impacts of climate change are

:01:43. > :01:45.likely to be "severe, pervasive and irreversible" - that's the stark

:01:46. > :01:58.warning in a major report by the United Nations. The report suggests

:01:59. > :02:01.rising global temperatures are likely to cause a higher risk of

:02:02. > :02:08.flooding, more extreme weather like heatwaves, as well as changes to

:02:09. > :02:10.crop yields causing food shortages. Scientists say the document is the

:02:11. > :02:14.most comprehensive assessment of the impacts of climate change to date

:02:15. > :02:17.and conclude that people may be able to adapt to some of these changes,

:02:18. > :02:20.but only within certain limits. There is some criticism that the

:02:21. > :02:26.report is too alarmist. Our science editor David Shukman reports. A

:02:27. > :02:32.consignment of animal feed from South America, brought ashore in

:02:33. > :02:36.Belfast Harbour. The food industry is now so global and so dependent on

:02:37. > :02:40.international trade that if crops are struggling in one part of the

:02:41. > :02:45.world, impacts will be felt in another. So how the climate changes

:02:46. > :02:49.in countries very different -- distant from our own can have

:02:50. > :02:53.serious implications. This is soya from Brazil, where they've just had

:02:54. > :02:57.a heatwave. So the prices have gone up. Because this stuff is used for

:02:58. > :03:03.chicken feed, the prices of chicken will also rise. What the UN climate

:03:04. > :03:07.panel is saying is while some plants in some regions may do better with

:03:08. > :03:13.climate change, overall the yields are likely to go down. The

:03:14. > :03:18.scientists say the most severe impacts, like this record drought in

:03:19. > :03:22.Texas two years ago, are more likely if temperatures rise steeply during

:03:23. > :03:26.the course of the century. And they want the world to start adapting to

:03:27. > :03:31.a changing climate. At the launch of the report in Yokohama this

:03:32. > :03:34.morning, there was a warning of the need for urgent action. The one

:03:35. > :03:38.message that comes out very clearly is that the world Haass to adapt and

:03:39. > :03:44.mitigate. And the sooner we do that, the less chances of some of the

:03:45. > :03:48.worst impacts of climate change being faced in different parts of

:03:49. > :03:52.the world. The report says that climate change is now being felt

:03:53. > :03:56.across the continents and the oceans, warming the Arctic. And, as

:03:57. > :04:01.we've been reporting in recent years, melting the ice, which raises

:04:02. > :04:05.the level of the sea. There is also changing the oceans. The water is

:04:06. > :04:11.becoming more acidic. The BBC was in Papua New Guinea last week to report

:04:12. > :04:16.on the threat that is happening to Corels. And scientists warn coastal

:04:17. > :04:19.areas are at risk. We filmed these scenes in Bangladesh five years ago,

:04:20. > :04:24.a struggle to cope with extreme conditions. The most vulnerable, the

:04:25. > :04:28.report says, are the poorest cities. Within the slum areas they do not

:04:29. > :04:34.have the proper facilities. When you add on the impact of climate change

:04:35. > :04:40.or extreme events, people become more vulnerable. The report does

:04:41. > :04:44.offer a message of hope that, just as the Dutch build defences against

:04:45. > :04:48.the rising sea, people can adapt to a changing climate. The question is

:04:49. > :04:52.how serious the impact will be. One scientist withdrew his name from the

:04:53. > :05:00.report because he said it was going too far. People live on the equator

:05:01. > :05:04.and on the polls. Humans are very adaptive to very diverse climate. We

:05:05. > :05:09.have very well developed technology to deal with it. There will be

:05:10. > :05:13.impacts, I just don't think they will be dramatic. Here, the chief

:05:14. > :05:16.government scientist says climate change will mean more intense rain

:05:17. > :05:19.and more flooding. That is in line with what is expected for Russ.

:05:20. > :05:23.Global warming will mean different things to different parts of the

:05:24. > :05:31.world. But according to this new report, we will all be affected. And

:05:32. > :05:36.David Shukman is with me now. Is that what makes this report

:05:37. > :05:39.different from so many others? We get these reports from the UN

:05:40. > :05:44.roughly every seven years. I think there is a change of tone. Going

:05:45. > :05:48.back to 2007, when I covered the publication of that report, it was

:05:49. > :05:52.very doom laden. It seemed to focus on all the bad things that could

:05:53. > :05:55.possibly happen with global warming. The report today does more of the

:05:56. > :06:15.same. It lays out very starkly the bad things that could happen. But it

:06:16. > :06:17.also provides, very importantly, a recognition of context. That climate

:06:18. > :06:20.change isn't always a factor on its own. If you have more and more

:06:21. > :06:22.people living along coastlines and they get flooded, is that the Fort

:06:23. > :06:25.of climate change and rising sea levels, or is it because there are

:06:26. > :06:28.more people in harm's away? There's the focus to try and be upbeat, for

:06:29. > :06:31.people to adapt, to get ready for the kinds of changes that will come

:06:32. > :06:36.down the track. In Britain, with the memory of the past winter, thinking

:06:37. > :06:49.about better flood defences. The emphasis is not just on warnings but

:06:50. > :06:51.also solutions. The death of an 11-month-old baby, blinded and

:06:52. > :06:54.beaten by his own mother, could have been prevented, according to a

:06:55. > :06:57.serious case review into his murder. The highly critical report concluded

:06:58. > :06:59.that professionals missed chances to intervene before Callum Wilson's

:07:00. > :07:02.death in Windsor three years ago. His mother was jailed for life

:07:03. > :07:04.earlier this year. Daniela Relph reports. Killed by his own mother.

:07:05. > :07:08.Callum Wilson, just 11 months old when he died. A death today's

:07:09. > :07:14.Serious Case Review says could have been prevented. His mother, Emma

:07:15. > :07:18.Wilson, lied repeatedly to doctors, nurses and childcare workers. She

:07:19. > :07:23.had given her son a brain injury from which you would never recover.

:07:24. > :07:29.Every time agencies reached out to her to ask her and to probe her, she

:07:30. > :07:33.came back with what was deemed plausible at that point, plausible

:07:34. > :07:39.rationale for their questions. We all now know that they were

:07:40. > :07:47.consistent lies. The deceit began early. Callum Wilson was born on the

:07:48. > :07:50.23rd of April 2010, his mother had kept her pregnancy secret. She then

:07:51. > :07:55.chose to place with foster parents at birth, but changed her mind and,

:07:56. > :08:00.in November, he was returned to his mother. Less than six months later

:08:01. > :08:03.he was taken to Wexham Park Hospital in Slough, suffering serious

:08:04. > :08:10.injuries. He was transferred to Oxford where he died three days

:08:11. > :08:14.later in March 2011. He attended a playgroup at this children's Centre

:08:15. > :08:19.in Windsor. Staff did notice bruises and scratches, but their concerns

:08:20. > :08:23.were not properly reported. Cal lived his final days on this estate

:08:24. > :08:27.in Windsor. The authorities say they have done all they can to ensure

:08:28. > :08:33.mistakes in this case will not be repeated. The unambiguous approach

:08:34. > :08:37.to bruising, if bruising like that was found on him today, it would be

:08:38. > :08:41.expected to be a referral to a paediatrician, regardless of the

:08:42. > :08:46.explanation. Those safeguards are in place. His death has brought change,

:08:47. > :08:53.but it came too late to save Callum Wilson.

:08:54. > :08:58.New inquests have begun into the deaths of 96 Liverpool fans who were

:08:59. > :09:02.killed in the Hillsborough disaster 25 years ago. The original verdicts

:09:03. > :09:05.of accidental death were overturned at the High Court in 2012, after a

:09:06. > :09:14.campaign by the victims' families. Our correspondent Judith Moritz is

:09:15. > :09:18.in Warrington for us. Yes. Nearly a quarter of a century

:09:19. > :09:21.since Hillsborough, those bereaved by the disaster have been asking

:09:22. > :09:26.questions about what happened. Today, as they came here to

:09:27. > :09:40.Warrington, many of them told me they hoped these new inquests would

:09:41. > :09:44.provide them with the answers. They lost their loved ones 25 years ago.

:09:45. > :09:46.Today, they came to court to find out what happened at Hillsborough.

:09:47. > :09:50.These families have spent years campaigning for new inquests. They

:09:51. > :09:53.know the months ahead will not be easy. I think there will be quite a

:09:54. > :09:56.few shocks as we progress over the next six, eight, maybe 12 months.

:09:57. > :10:00.Quite a few shocks and the truth will out. You can't underestimate

:10:01. > :10:03.how difficult it is going to be for everybody. All we can do is do our

:10:04. > :10:07.best and trust in the judge and everything else. Sheffield

:10:08. > :10:11.Wednesday's Stadium has long been associated with the disaster which

:10:12. > :10:14.happened here. It is where Liverpool came to play an FA Cup semi-final in

:10:15. > :10:25.1989, and where the terraces became so overcrowded that 96 people

:10:26. > :10:29.eventually lost their lives. What happened here in Sheffield many 25

:10:30. > :10:33.years ago has defined the lives of many people post at most directly,

:10:34. > :10:38.of course, the Barisic and survivors. But arguably, across the

:10:39. > :10:43.Pennines and Liverpool, the entire reputation of the city has been

:10:44. > :10:48.affected, too. We haven't got a life anymore. In 1991, Donna Miller spoke

:10:49. > :10:53.to reporters about her brother, Paul, who died at Hillsborough. The

:10:54. > :10:56.jury at the previous inquest had delivered accidental death verdict.

:10:57. > :11:01.They were quashed two years ago and today Donna came to court again

:11:02. > :11:06.today. Back for second time. It's something we've got go through, the

:11:07. > :11:12.evidence. As hard as it is, we've got to do it for the 96. They

:11:13. > :11:15.deserve it. They were taken away from their families needlessly. We

:11:16. > :11:19.will continue and we've got each other. God knows how we are going to

:11:20. > :11:23.get through the next nine, 12 months. The new inquests are housed

:11:24. > :11:28.in a purpose-built courtroom and sitting with a coroner and jury. The

:11:29. > :11:33.hearing will cover areas including cause of death, crowd management and

:11:34. > :11:37.the response of the emergency services. There's thousands and

:11:38. > :11:42.thousands of pages of documents, hundreds of witnesses coming and

:11:43. > :11:46.there are hours and hours of footage that has never been seen before. All

:11:47. > :11:50.the work that has gone into this before the inquest starting today is

:11:51. > :11:57.huge. The youngest to die at Hillsborough was ten, the oldest 67.

:11:58. > :12:00.Most were under the age of 30. The story of every one of the

:12:01. > :12:04.disaster's 96 victims will be told through the course of these

:12:05. > :12:16.inquests. Judith Moritz, BBC News, Warrington. The Chancellor, George

:12:17. > :12:18.Osborne, has declared he will fight for full employment in Britain,

:12:19. > :12:21.making job creation a central part of the Government's economic plan.

:12:22. > :12:24.Mr Osborne said he wanted Britain to have the highest employment rate of

:12:25. > :12:27.any of the world's leading economies. Our political editor Nick

:12:28. > :12:30.Robinson listened to the speech at Tilbury Port in Essex. Getting

:12:31. > :12:33.Britain back to work. It's not the sort of slogan you'd normally

:12:34. > :12:37.associate with the Tory party. That, of course, is precisely why George

:12:38. > :12:44.Osborne made it today and made it here, at Tilbury docks. That's why

:12:45. > :12:49.today I'm making a new commitment. A commitment to fight for full

:12:50. > :12:56.employment in Britain. Making jobs a central goal of our economic life.

:12:57. > :12:59.In case you forgot his script, the Chancellor's colleagues had written

:13:00. > :13:03.it up behind him. They want to highlight tax cuts for people and

:13:04. > :13:10.businesses, which take effect this week. To those who ask why, let me

:13:11. > :13:15.tell you. If our businesses include more of the money they've earned,

:13:16. > :13:23.because the rates and taxes are lower, then they can hire more

:13:24. > :13:30.people and invest in the future. It is all about jobs. So why did they

:13:31. > :13:33.pledge long associated with Labour cross George Osborne's lips? Full

:13:34. > :13:39.employment is quite a phrase but it begs a question. What do you

:13:40. > :13:44.actually mean? What we mean by full employment is this is the best place

:13:45. > :13:48.in the world to create a job, to get a job. We are saying explicitly we

:13:49. > :13:54.want to have one of the highest employment rates of the world 's

:13:55. > :13:57.leading economies. In Britain, more people are already in jobs than in

:13:58. > :14:02.many countries overseas, even America. The Chancellor is setting

:14:03. > :14:07.the aim of overtaking Germany. So what did this group, all apprentices

:14:08. > :14:17.at Tilbury and or listening to date, make of that? Do you believe him?

:14:18. > :14:22.Not really. No. Yes. Encouraging, yes. I asked him, what do you

:14:23. > :14:31.actually mean, what do you think of his answer? I think they are empty

:14:32. > :14:35.words. If there are enough jobs for everybody in Britain, I definitely

:14:36. > :14:39.agree with George Osborne at what they are doing to try and help is

:14:40. > :14:43.definitely the start. What jobs are being created on the coast here but

:14:44. > :14:49.most of them don't go to people just down the road at the Tilbury flat.

:14:50. > :14:53.You know what it's like and people look at the telly and say, she could

:14:54. > :15:00.get a job that she wanted. What is your message to those people who

:15:01. > :15:08.think it's easy to get a job? Come and stand in our shoes, live out our

:15:09. > :15:16.life for a day. Is it difficult to find jobs? It's hard, you put the

:15:17. > :15:23.CVN but you don't get anything round here. George Osborne try to come up

:15:24. > :15:27.with an economic goal that people can enact with emotionally, not the

:15:28. > :15:31.dry statistics of talking about the deficit. The test is not the words

:15:32. > :15:35.but whether he can make a difference to people who live in areas like

:15:36. > :15:42.this who are still struggling to find work. Labour say a jobs

:15:43. > :15:45.guaranteed for any young person unemployed for more than a year is

:15:46. > :15:52.better than any words the Tories might use. A lot of this rhetoric

:15:53. > :15:56.from the Chancellor doesn't match the reality. He should tell it to

:15:57. > :16:03.the 900,000 young people who've been out of work for 12 months or more.

:16:04. > :16:07.Long-term youth unemployment has doubled under his watch. It's an

:16:08. > :16:11.apology he should have been giving so far. For decades, politicians

:16:12. > :16:42.must full employment. For decades they struggled to deliver it.

:16:43. > :16:46.For most of the winter, this was how the Somerset Levels looked. These

:16:47. > :16:49.flooded landscapes brought despair to hundreds of homes and businesses

:16:50. > :16:53.who were inundated by the waters. Many locals blamed a lack of river

:16:54. > :16:56.dredging for the severity of the crisis. Today, dredging began on

:16:57. > :16:59.five miles of the Rivers Parrett and Tone - part of a 20-year flood

:17:00. > :17:02.action plan that will cost ?100 million. Other measures include a

:17:03. > :17:14.tidal barrage and extra pumping sites. Jon Kay is in Burrowbridge in

:17:15. > :17:18.Somerset. Yes, during the flooding, the one thing people around here

:17:19. > :17:21.kept telling us they wanted to see was the dredging of the rivers.

:17:22. > :17:26.Under pressure, the Government agreed it should happen. And it has

:17:27. > :17:28.begun today. But tonight, there are still questions about how necessary

:17:29. > :17:31.this really is, how effective it is going to be, and long-term, who is

:17:32. > :17:41.going to pay for it. It is not very pleasant looking, but

:17:42. > :17:46.for people living on the Somerset Levels, this mud is a glorious

:17:47. > :17:52.sight. Over the next few months, nearly half 1 million tonnes of it

:17:53. > :17:57.be removed. The aim is to take away all of the silk and sludge which has

:17:58. > :18:02.built up over the last few decades and take the rivers back to the way

:18:03. > :18:06.they were in the 1960s. So, this stretch of Burrowbridge would go

:18:07. > :18:11.back to looking like this, when the river had much more room to flow.

:18:12. > :18:14.Many people here blame clogged up rivers for causing the worst

:18:15. > :18:17.flooding in living memory. They think much of it could've been

:18:18. > :18:23.avoided if the water had taken away faster. This farm was among those so

:18:24. > :18:30.badly hit, and they hope dredging means it never happens again. It is

:18:31. > :18:34.a big boost to morale, to know that those diggers are there. It gives

:18:35. > :18:39.you that little bit of extra confidence and hope that your book

:18:40. > :18:41.but dredging is controversial. The Environment Agency stopped the

:18:42. > :18:46.practice here 20 years ago. And those who made that decision ain't

:18:47. > :18:50.bringing it back is just a way of appeasing local people. I do not

:18:51. > :18:55.think it will make any difference at all. My main concern is the fact

:18:56. > :18:58.that it is a false hope to those people that have been affected, who

:18:59. > :19:05.now have to plan the rest of their life. The Government has given ?5

:19:06. > :19:09.million to clear this five mile stretch. After that, the case for

:19:10. > :19:14.more funding will have to be made. The tide brings in silt twice a day

:19:15. > :19:19.into the river. It will silt up again within 5-10 years if we do not

:19:20. > :19:24.do that regular maintenance. The disastrous winter in Somerset life

:19:25. > :19:29.is slowly returning to normal here. But recovering from all this and

:19:30. > :19:35.planning for the future are going to take time. It is quite a slow

:19:36. > :19:39.process doing this. We have been watching them all day and they have

:19:40. > :19:44.done about 80 metres or so. It will take them seven months to go up one

:19:45. > :19:48.bank and down the other side. One way it has been suggested it might

:19:49. > :19:52.be paid for is local people paying a surcharge on their council tax. The

:19:53. > :19:56.real test will be during the rain next winter.

:19:57. > :20:00.The first ever annual assessment of the police service in England and

:20:01. > :20:04.Wales says a series of controversies has left the service damaged, but

:20:05. > :20:07.not broken. The Chief Inspector of Constabulary, Tom Winsor, says

:20:08. > :20:10.public trust and police morale have both been shaken. But he says the

:20:11. > :20:14.great majority of officers are honest and brave. Our home editor,

:20:15. > :20:23.Mark Easton, is at the Home Office for us. How will this assessment be

:20:24. > :20:29.received, Mark? Well, actually, Tom Winsor was a pretty controversial

:20:30. > :20:35.appointment as chief is off police, particularly within the police

:20:36. > :20:40.service. This was traditionally the job of a police officer, and he was

:20:41. > :20:45.the man be a sweeping changes to police terms and conditions. But

:20:46. > :20:49.this report I think is pretty supportive of officers. -- the man

:20:50. > :20:53.do. It does list the many enquiries and scandals which has dominated

:20:54. > :20:56.headlines in the last few years. It makes the point that public

:20:57. > :21:03.confidence has been severely shaken, and notes that the public feel badly

:21:04. > :21:08.let down, and perhaps afraid, when police officers are exposed as

:21:09. > :21:11.having failed. But Tom Winsor defends undercover police officers,

:21:12. > :21:15.controversially used in the Stephen Lawrence inquiry. He notes how

:21:16. > :21:20.honest officers have been dismayed by the way they can be tarred with

:21:21. > :21:21.the same brush. So I think generally this report will be welcomed by

:21:22. > :21:28.those in the police service. Now let's have a look at some of the

:21:29. > :21:31.other stories making the news today. For the first time ever, solicitors

:21:32. > :21:34.and probation officers jointly walked out of courts across England

:21:35. > :21:37.and Wales today, at the start of a two-day strike. Members of the

:21:38. > :21:39.National Association of Probation Officers are protesting against

:21:40. > :21:43.government plans to privatise up to 70% of the service. Criminal defence

:21:44. > :21:46.solicitors meanwhile are walking out over cuts in legal aid fees.

:21:47. > :21:51.Charlie Brooks, the husband of the former News of the World Editor

:21:52. > :21:53.Rebekah Brooks, has told a court he hid pornography from the police

:21:54. > :21:59.because he feared embarrassing details would be leaked to the

:22:00. > :22:02.press. The racehorse trainer put the DVDs in a padded envelope and placed

:22:03. > :22:07.it behind some bins in an underground car park. He denies

:22:08. > :22:13.conspiring to pervert the course of justice.

:22:14. > :22:17.The Malaysian authorities have revealed that the last words from

:22:18. > :22:20.the crew of the missing plane were, "Good night, Malaysian 3-7-0" and

:22:21. > :22:26.not "All right, good night," as previously reported. The new, more

:22:27. > :22:31.formal, final words could suggest that there wasn't a problem in the

:22:32. > :22:34.cockpit as had first been thought. Ten aircraft and 11 ships from ten

:22:35. > :22:42.nations are scouring an area of 245,000 square kilometres west of

:22:43. > :22:51.Perth. Jon Donnison is in Perth and has the latest.

:22:52. > :22:59.Back to base, but still no breakthrough. Planes are now

:23:00. > :23:03.scouring the Southern Indian Ocean. But they are no closer to knowing

:23:04. > :23:08.where the airliner crashed. For the moment, no question of giving up. I

:23:09. > :23:13.am certainly not putting a time limit on it. We owe it to everyone

:23:14. > :23:21.to do whatever we reasonably can, and we can keep searching for quite

:23:22. > :23:26.some time to come. Setting off from Perth today, an Australian Navy ship

:23:27. > :23:31.which we were given access to. It is carrying a device called a pinger

:23:32. > :23:34.locator, which will be dragged through the water to try to pick up

:23:35. > :23:42.signals from the missing black box flight recorder. But the locator

:23:43. > :23:46.only has a short range. Despite the state-of-the-art technology on board

:23:47. > :23:50.this ship, it is only really of any use if they know where the plane hit

:23:51. > :23:56.the water. And at the moment, they have no idea. Research teams admit

:23:57. > :23:59.that finding the black box is a long shot. First they need to work out

:24:00. > :24:06.which direction to look, which finding some debris. It all depends

:24:07. > :24:10.upon how effect if we are at reducing that search area. Right

:24:11. > :24:16.now, the search area is basically the size of the Indian Ocean, which

:24:17. > :24:23.would take an untenable amount of time to search. Progress at the

:24:24. > :24:28.moment is slow. It is more than three weeks since the Malaysian jet

:24:29. > :24:29.disappeared over the ocean. Investigators are warning the

:24:30. > :24:36.recovery could take years. Cricket - England's miserable winter

:24:37. > :24:38.has ended after they were resoundingly beaten by the

:24:39. > :24:41.Netherlands at the World Twenty20 in Chittagong. With neither side able

:24:42. > :24:49.to reach the semi-finals, the Dutch made 133-5. In reply, England were

:24:50. > :24:50.all out for just 88. England's highest score, 18, was made by Ravi

:24:51. > :24:59.Bopara. Riley Ward may only be two years old

:25:00. > :25:02.but he knew exactly what to do when his mother collapsed at home - he

:25:03. > :25:05.dialled 999 and told the operator, "Mummy's on the floor." Today, the

:25:06. > :25:08.toddler was given a bravery award from East Midlands Ambulance Service

:25:09. > :25:20.for his quick thinking. Sian Lloyd has the story. Only two years old,

:25:21. > :25:25.but when Riley's mother collapsed, he knew who to call. He was amazing,

:25:26. > :25:33.I am so proud of him. A little superstar. He remembered what his

:25:34. > :25:37.mum had taught him, and tiled 999 to save her when she suffered a blood

:25:38. > :26:07.clot. But the emergency services did not have much information to go on.

:26:08. > :26:17.It was enough for the police to trace the call to their home. And

:26:18. > :26:23.today, Riley's bravery was rewarded with a special certificate. He is

:26:24. > :26:26.absolutely a life-saver, a very important part of the team. Do you

:26:27. > :26:33.think he might be joining the Ambulance Service one day? I would

:26:34. > :26:37.be light -- I would be happy to have him as my crewmate. But for now, he

:26:38. > :26:43.is just a happy to-year-old, who cannot work out what all the fuss is

:26:44. > :26:54.about. Time for a look at the weather, with Tomasz Schafernaker.

:26:55. > :26:58.A reminder of our main story... There is some fairly decent weather

:26:59. > :27:02.around over the next couple of days. This is the satellite picture from

:27:03. > :27:06.today. I want to focus mainly on the direction of the cloud. You can see

:27:07. > :27:10.it is coming in from the south. These winds have been coming all the

:27:11. > :27:20.way from the Sahara desert. So, this morning, if you thought your car was

:27:21. > :27:25.a bit dirty, it is the Saharan dust. We made the dust particles a bit

:27:26. > :27:31.bigger for comedy value. There are other pollutants in the atmosphere

:27:32. > :27:37.as well. From the Sahara, back to the UK. This is the weather front,

:27:38. > :27:44.which is affecting western parts of the UK through this evening. The

:27:45. > :27:47.rain will be quite heavy for a time in Northern Ireland, and will end up

:27:48. > :27:54.in Scotland by the early hours of Tuesday morning. To the south, there

:27:55. > :27:59.will be some mist and fog. Tomorrow, I think there will be a

:28:00. > :28:07.bit of a smile on our faces, for England and Wales, anyway. But as

:28:08. > :28:13.far as Scotland goes, the rain will be easing, but it will be a damp

:28:14. > :28:17.day, and still chilly. 11 degrees in Newcastle, no more than that. In the

:28:18. > :28:24.middle part of the week, the area of low pressure is still within the

:28:25. > :28:31.neighbourhood, so, still cloud and rain circling around it. But this

:28:32. > :28:40.central portion of the country could be warming up.

:28:41. > :28:41.That's all from the BBC News at Six - on BBC One we now join the BBC's
