:00:07. > :00:11.The dream job that turned into a nightmare - manager, David Moyes, is

:00:12. > :00:15.sacked by Manchester United. During his ten short months at the helm, he

:00:16. > :00:21.was much criticised and saw his team fail to qualify for the Champion's

:00:22. > :00:23.League. The question is, is Manchester United in crisis? Because

:00:24. > :00:26.they have not qualified for the Champions' League. They have lost a

:00:27. > :00:32.manager, just before the transfer window starts. They are in a worse

:00:33. > :00:38.situation than they were 12 months ago. We'll be looking at how it has

:00:39. > :00:42.gone so wrong so quickly for Man U and who might want the job now. Also

:00:43. > :00:44.tonight: And while UKIP tells voters foreign workers are taking their

:00:45. > :00:48.jobs, its leader defends employing his wife, who's German. The

:00:49. > :00:53.seven-year-old found on fire on a street in Aberdeen has died of his

:00:54. > :00:56.injuries. The South Korean ferry disaster - how the first distress

:00:57. > :01:01.call that it was sinking came not from the crew but a schoolboy on

:01:02. > :01:04.board. And an iconic image from over 20

:01:05. > :01:12.years ago, echoed today by William and Kate in Australia's outback.

:01:13. > :01:16.Tonight on BBC London: Crime in the capital is down but critics say the

:01:17. > :01:21.figures are misleading. And talks begin to try to avert five

:01:22. > :01:38.days of Tube strikes over ticket office closures.

:01:39. > :01:45.Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six. It's the second most

:01:46. > :01:49.valuable football club in the world, bringing in over ?350 million in

:01:50. > :01:52.revenue last season. Which goes some way to explaining why Manchester

:01:53. > :01:55.United have sacked manager David Moyes after just ten,

:01:56. > :01:58.much-criticised, months. Following on from Sir Alex Ferguson who was at

:01:59. > :02:04.the helm for 27 years, he'd spent just 295 days in charge. And during

:02:05. > :02:09.that time won 27 of his matches, drew nine, but lost 15. That means

:02:10. > :02:13.for the first time in nearly 20 years, the club have missed out on a

:02:14. > :02:15.lucrative place in the Champions League, costing it an estimated ?25

:02:16. > :02:20.million. Our Sports Editor, David Bond, is at Old Trafford for us

:02:21. > :02:25.tonight. David, the axe has fallen quickly but it wasn't entirely

:02:26. > :02:30.unexpected, was it? Yes. That's right. Really, from the moment the

:02:31. > :02:33.story started circulating here in Manchester yesterday, it was clear

:02:34. > :02:39.that the writing was on the wall for David Moyes.

:02:40. > :02:46.What a blow for Manchester United and David Moyes. It's been almost

:02:47. > :02:51.painful to watch. And as results have gone from bad to worse for

:02:52. > :02:56.David Moyes, it was only a matter of time before Manchester United

:02:57. > :03:00.brought his misery to an end. That could be the nail in the coffin for

:03:01. > :03:04.Manchester United tonight. This was Moyes today - avoiding the cameras,

:03:05. > :03:08.as he arrived back at his house after being fired at United's

:03:09. > :03:14.training ground, just 10 months into the job. This statement, broken on

:03:15. > :03:24.Twitter was almost as brief as Moyes's reign:

:03:25. > :03:33.I think it is a shame. I think he could have done with a bit more

:03:34. > :03:37.time. But, 7th is not good enough. I expected it to be honest with you. I

:03:38. > :03:41.expected it for the last five or six games now. Get a new manager in now

:03:42. > :03:46.and let's get back to where we belong, the top of the league. So,

:03:47. > :03:50.what went wrong? Having had years to plan for the succession from Sir

:03:51. > :03:55.Alex Ferguson, the club seemed under-prepared. After delivering the

:03:56. > :04:01.last of his 13 Premier League titles last year, Ferguson was then allowed

:04:02. > :04:06.to hand-pick his replacement but Moyes, dubbed the Chosen One had

:04:07. > :04:11.little time to rebuild the team last summer and struggled to escape from

:04:12. > :04:15.Sir Alex's shadow. He had a squad of players who seemed unable or even

:04:16. > :04:20.unwilling to deliver for him. Those players he was able to bring in,

:04:21. > :04:24.made little impact and he was faced with constant rumours of dressing

:04:25. > :04:28.room unrest. There is no question Manchester United is a club in

:04:29. > :04:31.crisis. They've not qualified for the Champions' League. They have

:04:32. > :04:37.lost a manager, just before the transfer window starts. They are in

:04:38. > :04:43.a worse situation than they were 12 months ago. Finally, there was the

:04:44. > :04:48.question of United, the business. Ever since American owners, the

:04:49. > :04:51.Glazers floated United on the New York Stock Exchange, commercial

:04:52. > :04:55.revenues and profits have been going up, irrespective of results on the

:04:56. > :05:00.pitch. The bigger concern for them was whether Moyes was really the

:05:01. > :05:03.right man to entrust with a ?100 million war chest for summer

:05:04. > :05:06.signings. The rebuilding programme this summer

:05:07. > :05:11.needs to work. It's not a time to experiment. It's not a time to take

:05:12. > :05:15.risk. It's a time to make sure they acquire the best players and get

:05:16. > :05:19.them performing next season at the highest level. For now, United

:05:20. > :05:24.legend, Ryan Giggs is in charge but the search is on for an experienced

:05:25. > :05:28.manager. The Dutchman, Louis van Gaal is the favourite.

:05:29. > :05:34.Whoever takes it on will be anxious to avoid the mistakes made by Moyes.

:05:35. > :05:37.But from the start this has not been well handled and while he has

:05:38. > :05:43.ultimately paid the price, this is a mess of more than one man's making.

:05:44. > :05:48.Well, almost exactly 12 months ago it was left to Sir Alex Ferguson to

:05:49. > :05:53.choose the new manager of Manchester United. That won't happen this time.

:05:54. > :05:57.That will be responsibility of the American owners, the Glazer family

:05:58. > :06:02.and their Chief Executive, Ed Wood ward. It is a huge decision for

:06:03. > :06:05.them. One they cannot afford to get wrong and they won't be able to

:06:06. > :06:11.blame anyone else for it, if it does.

:06:12. > :06:14.As UKIP launches a nationwide poster campaign warning that millions of

:06:15. > :06:17.Europeans are waiting to take British jobs, its leader, Nigel

:06:18. > :06:23.Farage, has defended his decision to employ his wife, who is German, as

:06:24. > :06:26.his secretary. He denied she is taking a job that could be performed

:06:27. > :06:29.by a Briton, insisting no-one else could do it because of the long and

:06:30. > :06:32.antisocial hours. UKIP is aiming to limit immigration to 30,000 to

:06:33. > :06:38.50,000 people a year. Our Political Editor Nick Robinson has the story.

:06:39. > :06:46.There is nothing Nigel Farage likes more than stirring up a row -

:06:47. > :06:48.upsetting those he calls the Chattering Classes. Today UKIP's

:06:49. > :06:51.leader strode into Sheffield to launch an election campaign which he

:06:52. > :06:56.says he and his party are going to win. There we go. His aim, he says,

:06:57. > :07:03.is nothing less than regaining control of our country. Starting

:07:04. > :07:08.with our borders. We want to have close to you, a sensible, open

:07:09. > :07:12.immigration that says we welcome people, but we have to control the

:07:13. > :07:16.quantity and quality of who comes to Britain. Open and sensible are not

:07:17. > :07:20.amongst the words his opponents are using to describe posters like this,

:07:21. > :07:26.that suggest millions of potential immigrants from the EU are after

:07:27. > :07:30.your job. I asked Mr Farage why unemployment was falling here and

:07:31. > :07:34.elsewhere, just months after his last warning, that millions of

:07:35. > :07:39.Romanians and Bulgarians were on their way? Your poster is saying

:07:40. > :07:43.many millions of people are threatening people's jobs. And I'm

:07:44. > :07:46.putting it to you, that since the borders were open, using your

:07:47. > :07:51.language, unemployment is going down, and the number of jobs in the

:07:52. > :07:58.economy are going up. It is a scare story. The #3w0rders opened in 2004

:07:59. > :08:01.-- borders open and directly linked to unemployment in this country.

:08:02. > :08:05.What happened to you will at Bulgarians and Romanians We don't

:08:06. > :08:09.know. You don't know? We don't know at all. There are no official

:08:10. > :08:14.figures. Another UKIP poster claims you are funding a celebrity

:08:15. > :08:19.lifestyle for the eurocrats. I suggested to Mr Farage that could

:08:20. > :08:23.include him as he and his wife had received several million in EU funds

:08:24. > :08:28.since he became a member of the European Parliament. Your wife is

:08:29. > :08:33.German. She is your secretary. Yes. Paid for by the British taxpayer She

:08:34. > :08:38.came here as a highly killed person, earning a large salary, paying a

:08:39. > :08:42.huge amount of tax. No-one must think we are anti-... Is she taking

:08:43. > :08:46.anyone else's job. Nobody else would want to be in my house at midnight

:08:47. > :08:52.going through e-mails to be briefed for the next day. Why is not not

:08:53. > :08:56.taking a British person's job. No-one else could do it. No British

:08:57. > :09:02.person could do that job. Not unless I married them. You You don't think

:09:03. > :09:07.a British person is capable. What, of with marrying me? Of doing the

:09:08. > :09:12.job I don't think anyone is capable. Watching and he can hadlings BNP who

:09:13. > :09:18.caused an upset in the European elections five years ago, although

:09:19. > :09:22.UKIP's appeal is far broader than theirs It was Tony Blair and Labour.

:09:23. > :09:27.Before UKIP. But this is like, many, many years ago. What changed your

:09:28. > :09:32.mind? Immigration. Some of his points are right, definitely. His

:09:33. > :09:39.policies are right? Especially when it comes to laws being made here in

:09:40. > :09:43.the UK. I think basically it is bordering on fascism at times. I

:09:44. > :09:47.don't like... It is a very strong word. Really? Yes, yes, I do. It

:09:48. > :09:55.isn't very long since David Cameron was dismissing UKIP as frup dss

:09:56. > :09:59.cakes and loonies and closet racists -- fruitcakes. Now today Nigel

:10:00. > :10:02.Farage says he believes he can win the European elections and at

:10:03. > :10:08.Westminster, there are a lot of people who think he may well be

:10:09. > :10:11.right. A seven-year-old boy discovered on

:10:12. > :10:15.fire in a street in Aberdeen has died of his injuries. Preston Flores

:10:16. > :10:20.had been in a specialist burns unit since Friday. He was found on fire

:10:21. > :10:24.by neighbours. It's understood that petrol may have been involved but

:10:25. > :10:26.police say it was not a deliberate act. Our Scotland Correspondent

:10:27. > :10:31.Lorna Gordon is in Aberdeen. Lorna, this is a tragic and shocking story.

:10:32. > :10:37.Are we any closeer to knowing what actually happened? Well, Preston

:10:38. > :10:42.flouresce suffered horrific burns in what police have described as a

:10:43. > :10:46.tragic accident with no evidence of criminality. The sequence of events

:10:47. > :10:50.leading up to the incident is still unclear but neighbours have spoken

:10:51. > :10:54.shortly after lunchtime on Friday afternoon, seeing this young boy

:10:55. > :10:59.running out in the ally way between two blocks of flats with flames

:11:00. > :11:02.covering much of his body. The eye witnesses say there were other

:11:03. > :11:06.children in the area at the time. We know that the emergency services

:11:07. > :11:12.were quickly on the scene, within three minutes of a 999 call being

:11:13. > :11:15.made. The investigation is looking into whether petrol was involved and

:11:16. > :11:18.whether that fuel came from the back of a council van or somewhere else.

:11:19. > :11:21.Today his family have been speaking. They say he was a special little boy

:11:22. > :11:28.who will always be missed and loved and that Preston Flores, their son,

:11:29. > :11:32.meant the world to them. A man has appeared in court charged

:11:33. > :11:35.with the murder of a two-year-old girl in Fife. Madison Horne died

:11:36. > :11:39.after being taken to hospital in Kirkcaldy on Sunday. Kevin Park made

:11:40. > :11:44.no plea and was remanded in custody. He'll appear in court again at the

:11:45. > :11:47.end of this month. A major review into the near

:11:48. > :11:50.collapse of the Co-op Bank is expected to blame poor governance at

:11:51. > :11:53.the organisation. The BBC understands the report, due to be

:11:54. > :11:55.published next week, will say the bank's ill-fated takeover of the

:11:56. > :12:00.Britannia Building Society was another key factor. Former members

:12:01. > :12:03.of the Co-op board are likely to challenge the findings.

:12:04. > :12:06.Nearly 200 people, mainly children, who were on the South Korean ferry

:12:07. > :12:12.that capsized last Wednesday remain missing, are presumed dead. It's

:12:13. > :12:16.emerged that one of them, a boy on a school trip, was the first to alert

:12:17. > :12:18.the authorities that the ship was sinking, before the crew made a

:12:19. > :12:21.distress call to the coastguard. Data transmitted by the ship's

:12:22. > :12:27.transponder may shed light on what caused the ship to make a sudden and

:12:28. > :12:30.disastrous turn. Our correspondent, Lucy Williamson, has been speaking

:12:31. > :12:33.to one of the survivors and sent this report from the island of Jeju,

:12:34. > :12:37.where the ferry was headed. Day and night they are bringing in

:12:38. > :12:41.the bodies. Each one precious, even after life. But these new arrivals

:12:42. > :12:46.are too late to spark anticipation. No miracles here now. Just the

:12:47. > :13:00.joyless reunions of families with their dead. This was where it was

:13:01. > :13:03.meant to end, South Korea's holiday island, its beaches and volcanos a

:13:04. > :13:07.treat for teenagers before their final school year. They never saw

:13:08. > :13:09.it. Just before 9.00am last Wednesday, traffic controllers here

:13:10. > :13:13.picked up their boat's distress call. It was the second request for

:13:14. > :13:16.help that morning. Moments earlier, a boy on board had called emergency

:13:17. > :13:22.services, shouting, "Save us, we are on a ship and I think it's sinking."

:13:23. > :13:27.Workers at the ferry company here on shore were rushed into the office

:13:28. > :13:30.but there was little they could do. One that was here that day told me

:13:31. > :13:34.that he can't even walk down the street now without people blaming

:13:35. > :13:40.him. His colleagues on board, he said, should have done more. This

:13:41. > :13:44.man was on board the ferry, a truck driver who'd made that same journey

:13:45. > :13:53.hundreds of times. He'd just had breakfast and gone up on the deck

:13:54. > :14:01.for a smoke. TRANSLATION: All of a sudden the ship tilted and started

:14:02. > :14:05.to sink. Containers started to fall off into the sea and I realised we

:14:06. > :14:09.were going to capsize. I was clinging on to the handrail. I tried

:14:10. > :14:11.to save some of the students in the cafeteria. They were sliding on

:14:12. > :14:15.their knees around the cashier's desk. I threw them a fire hose but

:14:16. > :14:19.the boat was tilting too much and then water started coming in. My

:14:20. > :14:24.friend managed to save a six-year-old child who was trapped

:14:25. > :14:28.inside. I think the parents and others inside were the heroes. They

:14:29. > :14:32.were passing the child to each other, over their heads. By the time

:14:33. > :14:36.my friend was holding her, the ship was capsizing and all those people

:14:37. > :14:40.were stripped away in the water. He is still haunted by the students he

:14:41. > :14:52.couldn't save, "They were all my daughter's age and the memories of

:14:53. > :14:55.them won't go away", he said. Our top story this evening: The

:14:56. > :14:59.Manchester United manager David Moyes has been sacked after a season

:15:00. > :15:03.of poor results. He'd spent just ten months in the job. And a landmark

:15:04. > :15:06.photo opportunity for William and Kate down under.

:15:07. > :15:11.Later on BBC London: Made in the capital, sold across the world. How

:15:12. > :15:17.this company's love of traditional coats has won it a royal award.

:15:18. > :15:19.And can Chelsea reign in Spain? We are in Madrid ahead of the club's

:15:20. > :15:31.Champions League semifinal. As the agreement to end the crisis

:15:32. > :15:34.in Ukraine looks in danger of unravelling the US vice president,

:15:35. > :15:37.Joe Biden, has accused Russia of sowing unrest in the east of the

:15:38. > :15:42.country and threatened it with stronger sanctions. Speaking on a

:15:43. > :15:49.visit to Kiev Mr Biden said the United States would work with

:15:50. > :15:53.Ukraine to preserve its sovereignty. Tonight there is more attention in

:15:54. > :15:57.eastern Ukraine with claims a prominent local prom at that

:15:58. > :16:03.politician has been found murdered. Daniel Sandford reports. The

:16:04. > :16:09.uncontrolled sorrow of a wife mourning today in the most militant

:16:10. > :16:14.town in East Ukraine. Her husband was one of three men shot by unknown

:16:15. > :16:24.gunmen while they were manning a rebel checkpoint. The deaths have

:16:25. > :16:28.only further increased the strong feelings and tensions in a region

:16:29. > :16:34.which is already brutally exposing the rifts opening up in Ukraine,

:16:35. > :16:39.rifts that will get harder to bridge each time blood is shed. The rebel

:16:40. > :16:44.Government are accused by the new pro-Europe Ukrainian Government of

:16:45. > :16:49.being backed by a rash are determined to see them fail. Today

:16:50. > :16:54.in Kiev the US vice president was giving the struggling Prime Minister

:16:55. > :16:59.his very public support, though his words will have antagonised Russia

:17:00. > :17:07.further. No nation should stoke instability in its neighbour's

:17:08. > :17:11.country. We call on Russia to stop supporting men hiding behind masks

:17:12. > :17:18.in unmarked uniforms, sewing unrest in eastern Ukraine. But it is still

:17:19. > :17:23.not clear how much influence Russia has on men like the self appointed

:17:24. > :17:28.Mayor of Sloviansk who have been fired up with hatred for the far

:17:29. > :17:33.right activists of western Ukraine. TRANSLATION: With the nappies and

:17:34. > :17:38.fascists we will only have one kind of dialogue, we will destroy them.

:17:39. > :17:42.This is not a civil war yet, but as the number of dead mounts on both

:17:43. > :17:47.sides, the time to resolve the crisis is running out. In the past

:17:48. > :17:50.hour the former Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, has been speaking in

:17:51. > :17:53.Glasgow urging voters in Scotland to choose to stay in the United Kingdom

:17:54. > :17:55.in the referendum on independence later this year. He targeted

:17:56. > :17:58.Scottish pensioners telling the audience that the UK underwrites a

:17:59. > :18:00.?100 billion pension bill for Scotland's public sector and that

:18:01. > :18:11.the country's ageing population will benefit from staying in the union.

:18:12. > :18:17.You pay in your national insurance, you have paid in all your lives and

:18:18. > :18:21.you get the benefit that is equally spread to mitigate the risks across

:18:22. > :18:24.the widest pool possible, the United Kingdom. Our special correspondent

:18:25. > :18:27.Allan Little is in Glasgow. How significant is that Gordon Brown has

:18:28. > :18:34.at last decided to weigh in as part of the Better Together campaign? It

:18:35. > :18:41.is important. Remember that while Gordon Brown led the Labour Party to

:18:42. > :18:45.defeat at the last election, in Scotland the Labour Party increased

:18:46. > :18:50.its vote. Gordon Brown remains a man respected in Scotland and the better

:18:51. > :18:55.together campaign believes he carries some weight here. He gave a

:18:56. > :19:00.very robust defence of what he sees as the benefits of the union, the

:19:01. > :19:05.pooling of risk and benefits, stepping onto the territory that the

:19:06. > :19:10.yes campaign have staked out for itself. They said an independent

:19:11. > :19:15.Scotland would be a fairer, more socially just society. Gordon Brown

:19:16. > :19:21.said the way to protect that is already inside the union. There is a

:19:22. > :19:26.danger because the opinion polls are narrowing. The last opinion poll put

:19:27. > :19:31.the no campaign just three points ahead of the yes campaign and the

:19:32. > :19:35.danger is he will sound like another Westminster politician sounding

:19:36. > :19:39.negative saying, your pensions will be at risk. He risks antagonising

:19:40. > :19:42.more people than he persuades. The UK economy may be starting to

:19:43. > :19:48.recover but the country's levels of debt still remain among the highest

:19:49. > :19:51.in the developed world. Exclusive figures prepared for the BBC by the

:19:52. > :19:54.consultancy McKinsey show how that debt burden is falling but some

:19:55. > :19:57.experts believe the expected rise in interest rates next year could

:19:58. > :20:02.jeopardise the UK's recovery. Here is our economics editor Robert

:20:03. > :20:07.Peston. For many huge debts represent the

:20:24. > :20:29.a notorious prison where Charles Dickens' dad was locked up. For the

:20:30. > :20:34.past few years the British economy has felt constricted, imprisoned,

:20:35. > :20:42.unable to thrive or grow because of the burden of its record debts. From

:20:43. > :20:48.2000-2012, total UK debts, household, company, banking and

:20:49. > :20:56.Government debts, soared from 304% of GDP, to an all-time record of

:20:57. > :21:07.502%. They did not fall for ages, but recently they have been reducing

:21:08. > :21:12.a bit, to 471%. This American professor warned that big debt can

:21:21. > :21:23.that finance deepens in the economy and initially it grows and then

:21:24. > :21:28.things can go too far and you can get too much debt and it becomes a

:21:54. > :21:59.few years ago? Better than a few years ago. Much worse. Probably the

:22:00. > :22:06.same, maybe a bit better, but we are more cautious now. Why I had a

:22:15. > :22:19.water is not easy in Cornwall. Mike Ainsworth borrowed a huge amount to

:22:20. > :22:26.buy his dream house here. It was too easy to buy. But we just happened to

:22:27. > :22:32.be very lucky that the interest rates crashed when they did. It

:22:33. > :22:37.helped us a lot, really. Mike has been doing all he can to pay off his

:22:38. > :22:46.mortgage, so his story to an extent is that of Britain. Households

:22:47. > :22:54.increased their debt from 62% to 103%. But this has been declining to

:22:55. > :22:58.90% of national income. There is one part of the economy where the story

:22:59. > :23:03.of declining debt is not true, that is the public sector, the

:23:04. > :23:08.Government, where borrowing is still very substantial. But even so, the

:23:19. > :23:21.Today the aboriginal mountain Uluru, formerly known as Ayres

:23:22. > :23:24.Rock, became the backdrop for a similar photo of their son Prince

:23:25. > :23:28.William and the Duchess of Cambridge. The royal couple were

:23:29. > :23:32.presented with an aboriginal spear on their visit to the landmark. Our

:23:40. > :23:46.It is the must do experience of pretty much every visitor to the

:23:47. > :23:50.so-called red centre of Australia, Sunset at Uluru, or Ayres Rock.

:23:51. > :23:55.William and Catherine posed for photographs in the evening light as

:23:56. > :24:00.their trip to Australia starts to wind down. Earlier they had received

:24:01. > :24:05.a traditional welcome from local aboriginal people. There is are said

:24:06. > :24:09.to be the world's oldest surviving culture. Their lands have been

:24:10. > :24:14.returned to them, but there are real problems in reconciling the culture

:24:15. > :24:24.of Australia's original inhabitants with the direction of modern

:24:25. > :24:27.Australia. William and Catherine were presented with handmade gifts,

:24:28. > :24:30.a shield for him and wooden toys for George. Then in the temperatures

:24:31. > :24:36.around the low 30s, they headed off to Uluru. Ayres Rock is a place of

:24:37. > :24:39.great spiritual significance for the aboriginal people. Walking on the

:24:40. > :24:44.great sandstone outcrop is frowned upon, so William and Catherine

:24:45. > :24:49.walked around its perimeter. By now the sun was sinking and it was time

:24:50. > :24:55.for the couple to view the sunset. And what of baby George? He is home

:24:56. > :24:59.alone tonight, with his nanny at Government House in Canberra while

:25:00. > :25:05.his mum and dad go off for a night to themselves. For them sunset that

:25:06. > :25:13.is rock, followed by an night of what is called glamping, glamorous

:25:14. > :25:19.camping at an exclusive resort. Time for a look at the weather.

:25:20. > :25:26.Today we turned the sun down a notch and turned up the showers. This is

:25:27. > :25:33.the story of the rainfall so far today. Showers in northern England

:25:34. > :25:38.across to the Humber and some of those could be thundery. They will

:25:39. > :25:44.continue in Scotland with outbreaks of rain and misty and murky in the

:25:45. > :25:49.North East of Scotland. Plenty of cloud and temperatures do not go

:25:50. > :25:53.down too far. This is the next area of rain in the South West in the

:25:54. > :26:01.morning, very slowly moving east during the day. Many eastern areas

:26:02. > :26:06.will have pleasantly warm spells of sunshine. At four o'clock we could

:26:07. > :26:11.see thundery downpours in Cornwall and Devon, but rain affecting other

:26:12. > :26:18.parts in England and Wales of varying intensity. The Southeast may

:26:19. > :26:22.be dry, but the old, heavy shower in other areas. Northern Ireland is

:26:23. > :26:27.brighter in the afternoon, but the risk of more intense downpours in

:26:28. > :26:32.the evening. A warmer day for many of us in Scotland, although still

:26:33. > :26:37.quite cool. The rain moves tomorrow night crossing to the eastern side

:26:38. > :26:44.of the UK and lingering in the North East on Thursday. But behind it

:26:45. > :26:49.there is a better day. But we still need to watch the development of a

:26:50. > :26:56.few heavy and thundery downpours. A showery week with warm sunshine. No

:26:57. > :27:05.worries about frost overnight. By the weekend it looks as if the

:27:06. > :27:10.showers become more hit and miss. Our main story tonight: The
