:01:14. > :01:14.suspects. And a woman dying of cervical cancer sues the hospital

:01:15. > :01:33.that failed to spot she was at risk. Good evening and welcome to the BBC

:01:34. > :01:36.News at Six. The US coastguard has resumed its search for four British

:01:37. > :01:39.yachtsmen missing since Friday. The families of the men had mounted a

:01:40. > :01:42.desperate campaign to persuade the coastguard to continue looking for

:01:43. > :01:51.the men after they stopped searching on Sunday. The yacht was returning

:01:52. > :01:54.from Antigua when it ran into trouble. It went missing 620 miles

:01:55. > :01:56.east of Cape Cod. The US coastguard previously searched around 4,000

:01:57. > :02:01.square miles around the last confirmed location. If they are

:02:02. > :02:08.still alive, the men could be in an air pocket inside the upturned hull

:02:09. > :02:10.or, it's hoped, in a life raft. Our correspondent Duncan Kennedy has

:02:11. > :02:15.been following events from Southampton and he joins us now.

:02:16. > :02:22.This is exactly the news the family were hoping for? It is. After a day

:02:23. > :02:25.of very high in motion. They all work up this morning not knowing

:02:26. > :02:30.whether that search was going to resume or not. Then they learned

:02:31. > :02:34.that something like 200,000 people had signed an online petition

:02:35. > :02:37.calling for the search to begin, and late this afternoon news came across

:02:38. > :02:43.from the East is to that the search had been restarted. Nobody here is

:02:44. > :02:46.celebrating. There is a sense of relief that finally something is

:02:47. > :02:50.being done. The men at the centre of this

:02:51. > :02:54.extraordinary transatlantic human drama, relaxed and smiling in what

:02:55. > :03:00.is thought to be the last photo taken of them, the day before they

:03:01. > :03:03.set sail. This afternoon, their families went to the foreign office

:03:04. > :03:07.intending to add to the pressure on the United States to restart the

:03:08. > :03:12.search. But then news came through that the Americans had changed their

:03:13. > :03:18.minds. This is the right course of action. You have four guys out

:03:19. > :03:23.there. There is a good possibility, high probability, that they are in

:03:24. > :03:27.that raft, and we can find them. The American decision to look again for

:03:28. > :03:30.the Cheeki Rafiki, which went missing on Friday, was also welcomed

:03:31. > :03:35.by other members of the missing men's families. We feel that at

:03:36. > :03:42.least someone is looking for them and hopefully they will find

:03:43. > :03:46.something of them. Unfortunately, two days have been wasted, but they

:03:47. > :03:52.are out there now, and we are grateful for that. By this

:03:53. > :03:56.afternoon, sailing clubs, homes and offices, 200,000 people had signed

:03:57. > :04:03.an online petition calling for the search to be restarted. Tonight

:04:04. > :04:07.those at the pinnacle of sailing welcomed the decision. There is a

:04:08. > :04:11.long way to go in terms of finding the sailors in huge area, but if

:04:12. > :04:14.they are out there and in a life raft, there is a chance of survival,

:04:15. > :04:20.and whilst there is a chance, we should out there searching. So what

:04:21. > :04:23.next? This rescue of French yacht on the same day in the same part of the

:04:24. > :04:28.Atlantic shows what the US Coast Guard is capable of. 200 years of

:04:29. > :04:34.experience, they are among the best in the world. Other rescues have

:04:35. > :04:38.been more astonishing. Last year, Harrison Okene was trapped

:04:39. > :04:46.underwater for two and a half days off the coast of Africa before he

:04:47. > :04:49.was plucked out alive. Or this one, 17 years ago, when Tony Bullimore

:04:50. > :04:55.survived five days in an upturned boat in the Southern Ocean. Tonight,

:04:56. > :05:01.he welcomed the Coast Guard rethink. It is a shame that they pulled out

:05:02. > :05:05.48 hours ago. There could be a few questions asked over that. I am

:05:06. > :05:10.personally more interested to hear that the search is actually

:05:11. > :05:16.happening, and I hope that they get first-class results.

:05:17. > :05:19.If this is the keel of the Cheeki Rafiki, spotted by a merchant ship

:05:20. > :05:23.at the weekend, it could be a starting point for the new search,

:05:24. > :05:31.but the Coast Guard and the families know this is the Atlantic Ocean, and

:05:32. > :05:34.searching does not mean finding. Some of the families are off to the

:05:35. > :05:39.American Embassy in London tonight to thank officials there and also

:05:40. > :05:42.get more information on that search. We know that a plane has already

:05:43. > :05:48.taken off about three hours ago from East to, and it is about a three or

:05:49. > :05:55.four hour trip to the search site, so they should the arriving around

:05:56. > :05:59.about now. From the families, combine sense of relief that this

:06:00. > :06:02.whole operation is back on track. Duncan, thank you.

:06:03. > :06:04.There's concern that the economic recovery could be destabilised by

:06:05. > :06:08.rising house prices. The latest figures show average prices in the

:06:09. > :06:11.UK have risen by 8% in the 12 months to March. In London, average prices

:06:12. > :06:13.leaped by 17%. The soaring values means country-wide, houses are

:06:14. > :06:25.selling for 11 times typical earnings. Here's our economics

:06:26. > :06:28.editor Robert Peston. House-hunting in a part of London

:06:29. > :06:35.where prices are going through the roof. This has is on the market for

:06:36. > :06:41.20% more than similar houses were fetching a year ago, and this is not

:06:42. > :06:46.unusual. In the capital, less than six years after the crash, a

:06:47. > :06:50.dangerous bubble is in the making. I am scared. The mortgage payments are

:06:51. > :06:57.very high. I'm sure we will always manage them, but it is scary. And I

:06:58. > :07:04.think, if I am feeling like that, how all the other people feeling?

:07:05. > :07:12.Parts of the London property market aren't just red-hot, thou white hot.

:07:13. > :07:15.Here in Brent, prices have risen by a third in the last year, and estate

:07:16. > :07:21.agents have told me that in this road, rises have risen by two thirds

:07:22. > :07:25.over the past 18 months. London prices are now almost 25% higher

:07:26. > :07:31.than they were at their peak before the 2008 crash. In the south-east,

:07:32. > :07:36.they are 3.4% above that past maximum, but in the rest of the UK,

:07:37. > :07:39.they are still 4.4% below the previous high. So are there any

:07:40. > :07:45.signs of a bobble outside southern England, such as here in South

:07:46. > :07:51.Wales? Price rises over the last 12 months have been relatively modest.

:07:52. > :07:57.It is six or 7%. But whilst that is above inflation, we are certainly

:07:58. > :08:03.not seeing the rises of London and the south-east. Kate Barker used to

:08:04. > :08:08.be on the Bank of England committee that set interest rates. So if the

:08:09. > :08:11.Bank of England decides there is a housing market bubble, what can it

:08:12. > :08:18.do, short of raising interest rates? The bank isn't so much

:08:19. > :08:21.concerned about the housing market bubble, but they are concerned about

:08:22. > :08:24.responsible lending, and the thing they could do there is to ask

:08:25. > :08:28.lenders to hold more money against risky lending, and that would make

:08:29. > :08:35.it more expensive for lenders, and it would mean that there would be

:08:36. > :08:38.less lending. One bank, Lloyds, is taking evasive action, even without

:08:39. > :08:44.being forced to do so by regulators. Today it announced that it would no

:08:45. > :08:52.longer lend more than four times household incomes for houses over

:08:53. > :08:57.?500,000. That would have an impact on 8% of mortgages. But what is

:08:58. > :09:02.needed, most would say, is a lot more house-building.

:09:03. > :09:05.The trial of Rolf Harris has heard from the fourth and final alleged

:09:06. > :09:07.victim, who has waived her right to anonymity. Tonya Lee claimed the

:09:08. > :09:13.entertainer assaulted her repeatedly when she was 15 and on a tour with

:09:14. > :09:16.her youth drama group. Rolf Harris is charged with 12 counts of

:09:17. > :09:24.indecent assault, all of which he denies. David Sillito reports.

:09:25. > :09:33.Rolf Harris walked into court today to hear claims that took him back to

:09:34. > :09:37.events of 1980 X. -- 1986. At the time, he was a regular on

:09:38. > :09:40.television, and for young Australian theatre group, he was the surprise

:09:41. > :09:45.guest when they arrived in Britain full up in court, he listened to the

:09:46. > :09:49.claims of one member of that group, Tonya Lee. She was 15 at the time.

:09:50. > :09:57.Unusually, her name could be made Oblak, because 28 years later, she

:09:58. > :10:01.chose to Selhurst are to the media. In court, she spoke from behind a

:10:02. > :10:05.curtain. She told of an evening during the trip and she met Rolf

:10:06. > :10:11.Harris in the pub. She says she was indecently assaulted twice, once

:10:12. > :10:15.when he asked her to sit on his lap, and when she stepped out of the

:10:16. > :10:23.ladies to find him standing next to her.

:10:24. > :10:29.She eventually did tell police in 2012, but she also approached the

:10:30. > :10:32.media. She was asked about an interview with the police in which

:10:33. > :10:37.she told them she hadn't been talking to the media, hadn't been

:10:38. > :10:40.planning on selling her story. It was put to her, you looked that

:10:41. > :10:45.offers in the eye and told a barefaced lie, didn't you? And she

:10:46. > :10:49.answered, yes. But she said she was under pressure from her partner, is

:10:50. > :10:56.now set the whole issue of selling the story was a huge regret, a

:10:57. > :11:00.mistake. Rolf Harris denies all 12 charges. The trial continues. The

:11:01. > :11:02.Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg has accused parties which don't

:11:03. > :11:07.support Britain's membership of the European Union of being unpatriotic.

:11:08. > :11:10.Mr Clegg was campaigning in Oxford ahead of the European and local

:11:11. > :11:17.elections on Thursday. Our political editor Nick Robinson spent the day

:11:18. > :11:21.with him. Getting ready for the school run,

:11:22. > :11:30.and another run-in with the Eurosceptics. That is how the day

:11:31. > :11:34.began in the Clegg household. I just checked to make sure I have what I

:11:35. > :11:37.need. Dignity Prime Minister claimed today that staying in Europe, not

:11:38. > :11:43.getting out, is what true patriots believe. We we go. In a church in

:11:44. > :11:47.Oxford today, he tried to answer those who accuse him of having blind

:11:48. > :11:52.faith in Brussels, insisting he was fighting for Britain against the

:11:53. > :11:57.narrow nationalists. It's about what kind of country do we think we

:11:58. > :12:04.should be in the modern world. Are we going to be open or closed?

:12:05. > :12:10.Tolerant or intolerant? Open-minded, generous spirited or

:12:11. > :12:15.cowering on the sidelines and mean-spirited? I asked the Lib Dem

:12:16. > :12:19.leader why he was insulting those who simply disagreed with him? I

:12:20. > :12:25.don't insult anyone who expresses totally legitimate fears about many

:12:26. > :12:33.of the uncertainties of the modern world. But you say they are not in

:12:34. > :12:38.the real world. No, when I say that Nigel Farage says that it would be

:12:39. > :12:43.good for Britain to pull out of the largest economy where we send 50% of

:12:44. > :12:48.our imports, I'm in title to say, hang on a minute, far from being

:12:49. > :12:51.good for Britain, far from being an active bulldog British Patrick is,

:12:52. > :12:56.this is something which would leave our country weaker and poorer and

:12:57. > :13:01.incapable of dealing with the challenges of the modern world. So,

:13:02. > :13:04.who do voters think is the bigger patriots, the leader who likes to

:13:05. > :13:10.down a pint and wave the flag, or the one who dares to speak up for

:13:11. > :13:15.Europe and Britain? Nigel Farage. Because? Because he believes in

:13:16. > :13:19.Britain, whereas Nick Clegg believes in Europe. Can't you believe in

:13:20. > :13:24.Europe and Britain? I do think you can. Can you passionately be for

:13:25. > :13:31.your country, and still believe in European unit? Yes, but I don't

:13:32. > :13:37.believe you can be patriotic clear favour of Britain without any

:13:38. > :13:40.against immigration. Nick Clegg believes staying in Europe, which

:13:41. > :13:48.committee told me, means keeping our borders open. We say, yes it is

:13:49. > :13:52.freedom to move across the European Union, that is obvious and has been

:13:53. > :13:57.part and parcel of the European Union from all time. But note abuse,

:13:58. > :14:01.no to exploitation and welfare, no to the freedom of movement of

:14:02. > :14:04.criminals. So if people think there are too many people coming in is not

:14:05. > :14:09.enough controls on who comes in, they can't vote for you? If they

:14:10. > :14:17.want to pull up from Bridgend put up a no entry sign, then vote for UKIP,

:14:18. > :14:23.-- pull up the drawbridge. But think what that means. A diminished

:14:24. > :14:28.ability of our police to go after criminals to cross borders. Nick

:14:29. > :14:32.Clegg doesn't need to read his tweets to know what message voters

:14:33. > :14:34.may set him on polling day. But his reply today was, you might not think

:14:35. > :14:41.so, but I am standing up for you. There's an area on our website

:14:42. > :14:44.dedicated to the European and local elections. It's called Vote 2014,

:14:45. > :14:45.and you can access it on your mobile, tablet or computer at

:14:46. > :15:00.bbc.co.uk/vote2014. Our top story. The US Coast Guard

:15:01. > :15:05.has resumed its search for four British yachtsman missing in the

:15:06. > :15:08.Atlantic. And understanding the First World War. The first of

:15:09. > :15:11.thousands of schoolchildren on a special programme to bid - Mac to

:15:12. > :15:14.visit the battlefields. Later on BBC London. The blaze which swept

:15:15. > :15:21.through Camden market. Stall holders are left counting the cost of the

:15:22. > :15:25.damage. A rare chance to see a perfectly preserved creature from

:15:26. > :15:26.the ice age. The baby mammoth unveiled at the natural history with

:15:27. > :15:36.museum. It's one of the biggest names on the

:15:37. > :15:39.high street, but Marks and Spencer has been struggling to keep its

:15:40. > :15:42.customers happy. The company has announced another fall in annual

:15:43. > :15:46.profits, for the third in year in a row. In the past 12 months they were

:15:47. > :15:49.down by 3.9%, leaving the bosses at M facing a huge task ahead. Our

:15:50. > :15:58.business correspondent Emma Simpson has more. At Marks Spencer they

:15:59. > :16:03.are already thinking about winter. And here is a glimpse of some of the

:16:04. > :16:07.key pieces they hope will be flying off the rails. To bring some

:16:08. > :16:13.much-needed sparkle into clothing, which has been in decline. Getting

:16:14. > :16:18.women's fashion back on track, it's absolutely vital for M It has

:16:19. > :16:22.been at the heart of a ?1 billion plan over the last three years to

:16:23. > :16:31.revitalise this whole business. So is it working? We asked two retail

:16:32. > :16:35.experts to give us their views. First up is M is starting to turn

:16:36. > :16:39.things around on the fashion and the shops? They have injected more

:16:40. > :16:42.fashion content to their ranges, you can see that in their stores. It's

:16:43. > :16:46.definitely an improvement but there's still a long way to go in

:16:47. > :16:50.order to really meet the customer needs. And what about the company's

:16:51. > :16:56.new look website, which customers are still getting used to. MNS has

:16:57. > :16:59.come from a position, especially online, from being behind. Its

:17:00. > :17:11.online business should be a lot bigger but they needed to put the

:17:12. > :17:13.investment in in order to be able to grow it. They are now hoping the

:17:14. > :17:16.sales will come through online. Everyone has got an opinion on this

:17:17. > :17:19.firm, but in the end it comes down to the shoppers. Views are mixed.

:17:20. > :17:22.Are like Marks and Spencers and I go there a lot but it's not as good as

:17:23. > :17:27.it used to be. I think they've got far too much in there. The price and

:17:28. > :17:31.the quality does make sense. You get quality for your money. I usually

:17:32. > :17:36.have a look about to see if there's anything but I can never find

:17:37. > :17:40.anything. And MNS still hasn't found its Mojo when it comes to hitting

:17:41. > :17:47.sales targets, with profits down yet again. It means no bonus for the

:17:48. > :17:50.staff the boss. The question is, when will all this investment start

:17:51. > :17:55.to pay off? It says it's making solid progress but there's an awful

:17:56. > :18:02.lot riding on this autumn winter collection. Emma Simpson, BBC News.

:18:03. > :18:05.Smokers who want to quit are much more likely to succeed if they use

:18:06. > :18:07.e-cigarettes, according to a new study. Researchers from University

:18:08. > :18:10.College London found e-cigarettes can increase the success rate by 60%

:18:11. > :18:19.compared to nicotine patches and gum or just willpower. Here's our health

:18:20. > :18:27.correspondent Branwen Jeffreys. This shop has only been open a year, part

:18:28. > :18:31.of an EC boom. Almost 2 million people are buying their nicotine

:18:32. > :18:35.hits this way. Little vials of liquid that vaporise in an

:18:36. > :18:42.electronic cigarette. Some, like Mark, hope this is a step towards

:18:43. > :18:45.stopping smoking. I'm hoping that eventually I can make the decision

:18:46. > :18:49.to give up nicotine altogether. At the moment, I'm a man of the 21st

:18:50. > :18:55.century and I can have my cake and eat it. I can smoke but not smoke at

:18:56. > :19:00.the same time. If I wanted to quit, I would transition myself with ease

:19:01. > :19:05.cigarettes. If you want to give it up, just put it down and don't come

:19:06. > :19:09.back to it. This research is based on nearly 6000 smokers. Around 20%

:19:10. > :19:14.quit with the help of e-cigarettes. Their chances of success were 60%

:19:15. > :19:18.better than those using patches, gum is all just willpower. Making

:19:19. > :19:27.experts optimistic that smoking rates will continue to fall. Smoking

:19:28. > :19:30.rates are coming down, the rates at which people are trying to stop

:19:31. > :19:33.smoking are going up. The rates that people are succeeding at stopping

:19:34. > :19:36.smoking are going up. The proportion of people who are using e-cigarettes

:19:37. > :19:40.who never smoked is extremely low. The nicotine is delivered in a

:19:41. > :19:46.vapour. You can buy e-cigarettes in corner shops but there is a design

:19:47. > :19:50.culture around expensive brands. Some types of e-cigarettes are very

:19:51. > :19:55.fashionable, but they remain intensely controversial. Some

:19:56. > :20:02.doctors argue they make a habit of smoking seem normal. And health

:20:03. > :20:05.campaigners say too little is known about long-term effects. They are

:20:06. > :20:10.not properly regulated at the moment. So we can't be absolutely

:20:11. > :20:13.sure what that toxic substances they have in them. While they are

:20:14. > :20:16.certainly less harmful than smoking, I wouldn't recommend someone who is

:20:17. > :20:21.not already a smoker to take them up. Tighter regulation is on its

:20:22. > :20:29.way, which might open the way for them to be used by the NHS. Branwen

:20:30. > :20:31.Jeffreys, BBC News. It's being seen as a make or break moment for an

:20:32. > :20:34.organisation which represents 125,000 police officers in England

:20:35. > :20:37.and Wales. The annual conference of the Police Federation started today

:20:38. > :20:39.and it will no doubt reflect on what's been a turbulent year. There

:20:40. > :20:42.was the Plebgate scandal, allegations of bullying and

:20:43. > :20:49.accusations from MPs that it functions like a medieval court.

:20:50. > :20:53.Matt Prodger has more. The police Federation has never been a teddy

:20:54. > :20:57.bear, and its annual get-together has been hostile to both government

:20:58. > :21:03.and change. But not this year. The Fed is almost repentant. We tried

:21:04. > :21:10.playing hardball with government. Our response was first one of

:21:11. > :21:17.shock, then verbally aggressive and finally crude and disrespectful. We

:21:18. > :21:23.targeted individuals rather than issues. The Federation is on its

:21:24. > :21:28.last warning here in Bournemouth, buffeted by wave after wave of

:21:29. > :21:32.controversy. It began with plebgate, the scandal whipped up by

:21:33. > :21:36.the Federation that forced a government minister, Andrew

:21:37. > :21:40.Mitchell, out of the Cabinet. Then there's the money. Too much of it

:21:41. > :21:46.sitting in the bank and to much more unaccounted for. And bullying. The

:21:47. > :21:50.symptoms, say critics, of an organisation out of control. We'd

:21:51. > :21:54.been told that the latest to be bullied was the Police Federation's

:21:55. > :22:00.own vice-chairman, a claim he dismissed. If I'd been a cop for 26

:22:01. > :22:04.years, it takes more than some robust conversations to concern me.

:22:05. > :22:08.What I'm about is moving the organisation forward. Others think

:22:09. > :22:13.it is the Police Federation that has been bullied by the outside world.

:22:14. > :22:17.In terms of where we are, we are battered. We've had a bruising time.

:22:18. > :22:21.Some of that has been mistakes we've made as an organisation, some of it

:22:22. > :22:31.has been a little unfair. But we're at a point where we can move

:22:32. > :22:33.forward, repair and better. The officials gathered here in

:22:34. > :22:35.Bournemouth basically have three days to make the organisation more

:22:36. > :22:38.democratic, more accountable and more transparent. If they don't,

:22:39. > :22:41.then the government says it will. So the biggest police organisation in

:22:42. > :22:45.the UK need knows it needs to do more than rearrange the deck chairs.

:22:46. > :22:52.Matt Prodger, BBC News in Bournemouth. The first of thousands

:22:53. > :22:55.of secondary-school children are commemorating the centenary of the

:22:56. > :22:58.First World War with special tours of the battlefields in Belgium and

:22:59. > :23:01.France. It's part of a Government programme whereby two children from

:23:02. > :23:03.every school in England will make the trip to gain a deeper

:23:04. > :23:06.understanding of the conflict and hopefully share their knowledge when

:23:07. > :23:13.they come home. Robert Hall is at Hyde Park in central London now.

:23:14. > :23:17.Hyde Park Corner is dotted with memorials to the casualties of war,

:23:18. > :23:22.but these commemorations are not just about remembrance. They are

:23:23. > :23:25.about bringing the events of 1914 to 18 alive for this generation.

:23:26. > :23:29.Schools are central, and I went along on the first of the new

:23:30. > :23:37.battlefield tours. What I found was a real sense of engagement. I'm

:23:38. > :23:40.going to be around over the next couple of days, helping you get the

:23:41. > :23:44.most from this battlefield tour. In a classroom in Ashford in Kent, two

:23:45. > :23:46.children from each of 30 schools are building personal connections with

:23:47. > :23:49.the past. Over the next three days, experts and technology will help

:23:50. > :23:53.them connect with the lives and deaths of those who fought in the

:23:54. > :23:58.Western Front. Sam and Regan found this man, Lance Corporal John

:23:59. > :24:00.Stracey, on the local war memorial. Seeing actual pictures and finding

:24:01. > :24:09.out everything about them, it gives more of a 3D effect of who they

:24:10. > :24:13.were. It's going to bring it alive to them. It will make them more in

:24:14. > :24:15.tune with their community and locality, and hopefully just give

:24:16. > :24:19.them even more of a passion for history. John Stracey died amongst

:24:20. > :24:24.half a million from both sides in the slaughter of Passchendaele. His

:24:25. > :24:28.body, like thousands of others, was never found. Tyne Cot Cemetery

:24:29. > :24:34.contains 12,000 graves and 33,000 names of the missing. Among them,

:24:35. > :24:43.the name which the boys were looking for. Oh, yeah, there's Stracey. If

:24:44. > :24:49.this were 100 years ago, we'd be going out to war as well. It's scary

:24:50. > :24:54.in a way, this could have been us. This project does not end on the

:24:55. > :24:57.Belgian battlefields. Have you been to Tyne Cot? Yes, about four years

:24:58. > :25:00.ago. Back in Surrey, Sam and Regan are sharing their research with

:25:01. > :25:06.83-year-old Jim Stracey, nephew of the soldier traced. Yeah, I think he

:25:07. > :25:15.would have been proud to have known this was happening. Perhaps he does,

:25:16. > :25:19.he might be up there. One story which has come full circle. Over the

:25:20. > :25:22.next four years, 8000 children will follow this battlefield trail, which

:25:23. > :25:28.combines remembrance with a deeper understanding. Robert Hall, BBC

:25:29. > :25:42.News. We've had some dramatic scenes

:25:43. > :25:47.across the country over the past couple of days, this picture was

:25:48. > :25:51.taken just off the coast of Aberdeen on Sunday night. For parts of

:25:52. > :25:55.Scotland we have had 23 degrees. Showers have been brewing in the

:25:56. > :25:59.last couple of hours, they will drift northwards. Thunderstorms

:26:00. > :26:03.mixed in with that. Behind it will be some clearer skies with the risk

:26:04. > :26:08.of some mist and fog forming by dawn. Not quite as warm as it was

:26:09. > :26:15.last night. Wednesday morning starts with a lot of cloud and rain sitting

:26:16. > :26:20.across the North West of Scotland. Away from that, dry and bright, any

:26:21. > :26:24.mist and fog should lift and clear. Bright skies across parts of

:26:25. > :26:28.northern England, down through Wales and the south-west corner. As we

:26:29. > :26:33.move into the South West, more cloud with the risk of some showers. In

:26:34. > :26:37.the south-east throughout much of Wednesday, that cloud with a few

:26:38. > :26:40.showers is likely to persist. We will keep the cloud and rain in the

:26:41. > :26:45.north-west. But in between those areas, most places will be dry, fine

:26:46. > :26:49.with some bright spells. The small risk of a shower. You will be

:26:50. > :26:54.unlucky if you catch one. Temperatures will reach highs of 18

:26:55. > :26:57.to 19 degrees. But then we start to see things brewing through Wednesday

:26:58. > :27:01.night and into Thursday. A low pressure system in the South has got

:27:02. > :27:05.the potential to bring some more widespread heavy and thundery rain

:27:06. > :27:09.our way. The risk of quite a difficult rush-hour at the moment.

:27:10. > :27:14.It looks like affecting parts of northern England, down through Wales

:27:15. > :27:16.and the south-west corner. It will drift northwards, allowing some

:27:17. > :27:23.drier weather with sunshine to follow on behind. The Northwest will

:27:24. > :27:33.see highs of around 13 to 14 degrees. A bit of cloud and the risk

:27:34. > :27:34.of a few showers. That's all from the BBC News
