:00:10. > :00:11.The Prime Minister said the result meant that Europe had

:00:12. > :00:18.It risks undermining the position of national governments, it risks

:00:19. > :00:21.undermining the power of national parliaments, and it hands new power

:00:22. > :00:30.But 26 member states voted for the former leader of Luxembourg

:00:31. > :00:34.and there was scant sympathy among some for Britain's stand.

:00:35. > :00:37.I think in the UK some people really need to

:00:38. > :00:43.The EU is a really good thing for the United Kingdom.

:00:44. > :00:46.We'll be looking at what David Cameron's failure to block

:00:47. > :00:49.the appointment means for him and for Britain's position in the EU.

:00:50. > :00:54.House prices are rising at their fastest rate for four years.

:00:55. > :00:58.In London they're up nearly 20% on last year.

:01:24. > :01:48.Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six.

:01:49. > :01:50.David Cameron's lonely campaign to stop the appointment of

:01:51. > :01:52.Jean-Claude Juncker as European Commission President has failed.

:01:53. > :01:56.The former Prime Minister of Luxembourg was voted in by 26-2.

:01:57. > :01:59.Only Hungary joined the UK in opposing him.

:02:00. > :02:03.David Cameron said it was a bad day for Europe and that it

:02:04. > :02:06.risked undermining the position of national governments in Europe.

:02:07. > :02:07.Labour claimed Mr Juncker's nomination represented

:02:08. > :02:11.an abject failure of David Cameron's leadership.

:02:12. > :02:15.Nick Robinson reports from Brussels on what this result means for

:02:16. > :02:34.One by one, they rolled into Brussels. The Prime Minister 's and

:02:35. > :02:40.presidents of the EU, 28 in all. They had come to decide who will get

:02:41. > :02:44.Europe's top job. So how many would agree with him? I know the odds are

:02:45. > :02:48.against me but that does not mean you change your mind. You stand up

:02:49. > :02:52.for what you believe and vote accordingly. Privately, he warned

:02:53. > :02:59.Chancellor Merkel that defeat today would make it more likely Britain

:03:00. > :03:05.would head for the exit. I hope the UK will be back in the game and take

:03:06. > :03:10.their influence over the next month. We really need the UK in the

:03:11. > :03:19.European Union. The outcome was never in any real doubt. Is Britain

:03:20. > :03:22.isolated at this summit? The argument David Cameron has lost may

:03:23. > :03:26.appear to be about one man but it is about something bigger, the man who

:03:27. > :03:30.runs the European Commission, which proposes and enforces the laws,

:03:31. > :03:37.rules and regulations which affect the lives of half a billion people

:03:38. > :03:44.in 28 countries. Remember that name, you will be hearing a whole lot more

:03:45. > :03:45.of it. Luxembourg's Jean-Claude Juncker got the job of president of

:03:46. > :03:47.the European Juncker got the job of president of

:03:48. > :03:52.the Commission despite David Cameron attacking him as the wrong man,

:03:53. > :03:56.chosen in the wrong way. This is a bad day for Europe. It risks

:03:57. > :04:00.undermining the position of national governments, undermining the power

:04:01. > :04:06.of national parliaments, and it hands new power to the European

:04:07. > :04:11.Parliament. When Margaret Thatcher swung her handbag, she was isolated

:04:12. > :04:17.and she won. Surely you are merely isolated. There are things that have

:04:18. > :04:21.changed since Margaret Thatcher. We have had several treaties, all of

:04:22. > :04:26.which have got rid of vetoes, so it is more difficult to stop things you

:04:27. > :04:30.don't like. The task of reforming Europe and securing Britain's place

:04:31. > :04:35.in a reformed Europe is going to be a long and tough campaign. It is

:04:36. > :04:41.going to involve mini engagements. Some will go well, some will go less

:04:42. > :04:45.well. -- many engagements. Chancellor Merkel and others agreed

:04:46. > :04:49.to what David Cameron called a few small steps forward, a review of his

:04:50. > :04:54.concerns about the way the EU works and the way the next president is

:04:55. > :04:57.chosen. But with Britain only backed by Hungary, his critics say he has

:04:58. > :05:04.been shown in capable of making friends. It represents, after weeks

:05:05. > :05:11.of spin and bluster from the Prime Minister, a total failure to deliver

:05:12. > :05:15.and an utter humiliation. Mr Cameron has barely a friend left in

:05:16. > :05:20.Brussels. His chances of renegotiating anything substantial

:05:21. > :05:24.have turned to dust. As David Cameron leaves the summit, the words

:05:25. > :05:29.of one German newspaper ring in his ears. They compared him with Wayne

:05:30. > :05:35.Rooney - he lines up the shot, losers and goes home. Ouch!

:05:36. > :05:37.The man at the centre of the controversy,

:05:38. > :05:40.Jean-Claude Juncker, is a former Prime Minister of Luxembourg and one

:05:41. > :05:44.Now that he's been nominated for the top job at the

:05:45. > :05:47.European Commission, how is the EU likely to work under his leadership,

:05:48. > :06:02.Even whilst Europe's leaders were having dinner, the judgement had

:06:03. > :06:05.started. One German paper describes David Cameron as the loneliest man

:06:06. > :06:11.in Europe. He told the other leaders they would regret backing Mr

:06:12. > :06:17.Juncker, but they were unmoved. TRANSLATION: The decision for

:06:18. > :06:21.Jean-Claude Juncker is one which will allow us to have a commission

:06:22. > :06:24.president with European experience, who is willing to accommodate the

:06:25. > :06:29.wishes of individual member states, as well as the wishes of the

:06:30. > :06:33.European Parliament. Throughout the summit, the German Chancellor has

:06:34. > :06:37.appeared to reach out to Britain. She said ever closer union does not

:06:38. > :06:41.mean a 1's speed Europe. She said she shares some of Britain's

:06:42. > :06:46.concerns about what a modern Europe should look like. The message, that

:06:47. > :06:52.Mr Juncker is open to reform, is being pressed by senior German

:06:53. > :06:55.politicians. Jean-Claude Juncker said he is open to proposals from

:06:56. > :06:59.London on how to reform the European Union, how to cut red tape, how to

:07:00. > :07:03.make the European Union more efficient. But none of these words

:07:04. > :07:08.disguise the bitter divide over Mr Juncker. David Cameron sees a career

:07:09. > :07:12.insider whose election undermines the power of national parliaments.

:07:13. > :07:16.The German Chancellor sees a committed European. Among the

:07:17. > :07:20.leaders, there was anxiety that defeat for David Cameron could

:07:21. > :07:24.hasten the except of Britain from the EU. Even so, there was a note of

:07:25. > :07:30.frustration from the French president, who said Britain had to

:07:31. > :07:33.play by the same roles as others. TRANSLATION: When David Cameron

:07:34. > :07:37.speaks, it is legitimate to understand and to hear what he is

:07:38. > :07:41.saying. At the same time in Europe we need to learn to live together in

:07:42. > :07:46.a framework of rules and treaties. There is no other way out. There is

:07:47. > :07:53.lots of talk here of a humiliated David Cameron, Britain the serial

:07:54. > :07:55.loser, but that leaders did add a final paragraph that Britain's

:07:56. > :08:06.concerns about the future direction of Europe will need to be addressed.

:08:07. > :08:09.Nick Robinson is in Brussels. The result of the vote was not

:08:10. > :08:15.unexpected but it must have been a blow for Mr Cameron. How bad a day

:08:16. > :08:20.has this been for him? Not unexpected today, or yesterday, but

:08:21. > :08:24.very unexpected just a few weeks ago. David Cameron talked publicly

:08:25. > :08:29.about the allies he had, about the victory he could secure. He knows

:08:30. > :08:32.that having failed to stop a man who frankly many people watching this

:08:33. > :08:36.programme have not heard of and may not much care about, they will be

:08:37. > :08:39.more worried that he simply cannot achieve what they will care about,

:08:40. > :08:48.which is a reformed to immigration rules in Brussels, alter the size

:08:49. > :08:51.and scope and scale of the EU. Angela Merkel and others insist they

:08:52. > :08:55.want to work with Britain on the agenda of this organisation, that

:08:56. > :08:59.they will help David Cameron to reform Europe and to get his way.

:09:00. > :09:04.But Margaret Thatcher all those years ago ended up saying no, no, no

:09:05. > :09:08.to Europe. The prime Minister now must feel either that Europe's

:09:09. > :09:12.leaders will say that to him, or that the British electorate will do

:09:13. > :09:14.it and say, your approach is failing.

:09:15. > :09:17.Average house prices in England and Wales are rising at

:09:18. > :09:20.their fastest annual rate for four years, with London leading the way.

:09:21. > :09:23.Prices in the capital are up nearly 20% on last year, growth that's

:09:24. > :09:27.prompted the Bank of England to introduce curbs on mortgage lending.

:09:28. > :09:29.But elsewhere, such as in the north-east of England,

:09:30. > :09:47.For sale, but at what price? In London and the South, house prices

:09:48. > :09:53.are riding high. But elsewhere, there are -- they are still flying

:09:54. > :09:58.low and falling in some places. If you are in one of those areas, the

:09:59. > :10:02.north-east, for instance, this does not feel like a housing bubble. For

:10:03. > :10:08.many homeowners, the asset they purchased in good times has become a

:10:09. > :10:14.liability. How long has it been on the market? Over a year, and the

:10:15. > :10:20.prices are going down. Owners like Gillian, who bought her flat in

:10:21. > :10:26.Sunderland for ?125,000. She has been offered just over 100,000 for

:10:27. > :10:30.it, wiping out her deposit. I feel trapped in my own home. I want to

:10:31. > :10:40.move on. Last year, I thought I was going to move on. And I am still

:10:41. > :10:47.here. So much wealth tied up in our homes. They are up on average, but

:10:48. > :10:49.it all depends on where you live. In London, Waltham Forest leads the

:10:50. > :10:55.borough is showing an astonishing rate of increase, but look at Wales,

:10:56. > :11:02.where Merthyr Tydfil and many other places are sharply down over the

:11:03. > :11:05.past year. The same, and in the north-east, Hartlepool is down. That

:11:06. > :11:11.is the region showing the slowest rate of increase overall. Many homes

:11:12. > :11:16.are playing no part in the boom which is causing so much concern. It

:11:17. > :11:21.was different in the last housing crash and recovery in the 1990s. The

:11:22. > :11:26.north, then, was much more resilient, rising more to start with

:11:27. > :11:32.than London. This time, the high cost of live and Lope have held

:11:33. > :11:37.buyers back. People can't move, and they are stuck, some in negative

:11:38. > :11:40.equity. This agent who manages properties in the north-east warns

:11:41. > :11:43.that restrictions on mortgage lending being imposed by the Bank of

:11:44. > :11:50.England, which is uneasy about London, will make things worse. The

:11:51. > :11:54.ripple effect takes time to come out to some of these areas. We might be

:11:55. > :11:58.talking at least another 12 months before we feel that. If they put the

:11:59. > :12:05.brakes on now, I dread to think what could happen. Scotland also has

:12:06. > :12:08.areas where prices are dropping. Rising or falling, the housing

:12:09. > :12:08.market problem is something completely different depending on

:12:09. > :12:11.where you live. A former senior adviser to

:12:12. > :12:14.David Cameron has been charged with making and possessing indecent

:12:15. > :12:16.images of children. Patrick Rock, 63,

:12:17. > :12:18.was arrested at his home in London in February, after the police were

:12:19. > :12:21.contacted by Downing Street. The fact that David Rock was working

:12:22. > :12:28.at the heart of Downing Street in such a senior position before his

:12:29. > :12:43.arrest will raise serious questions. Yes, Fiona, Patrick Rock has worked

:12:44. > :12:46.for the Conservative Party for around three decades. He stood as a

:12:47. > :12:52.Parliamentary candidate and has known David Cameron since they were

:12:53. > :12:55.both special advisers in the 1990s. In 2011, the prime minister brought

:12:56. > :13:00.him back to Downing Street to be the deputy head of his policy unit, an

:13:01. > :13:04.important role. It was on the 13th of February that he was arrested in

:13:05. > :13:09.the early hours of the morning. He had resigned from his post the

:13:10. > :13:13.previous day. We have had confirmation from the National Crime

:13:14. > :13:18.Agency that he has now been charged with three counts of making indecent

:13:19. > :13:23.photographs of children, and with possession of 59 indecent images of

:13:24. > :13:26.children. He has been bailed and will appear before Westminster

:13:27. > :13:29.Magistrates' Court on July the 3rd. The Prime Minister was asked about

:13:30. > :13:32.this at a news conference in Brussels and said it was now

:13:33. > :13:34.entirely a matter for the courts and it would not be appropriate to

:13:35. > :13:37.comment. Imams at mosques

:13:38. > :13:39.across the UK have been using Friday prayers to discourage young Muslim

:13:40. > :13:42.men from fighting in Syria. The head of counter terrorism

:13:43. > :13:45.in Wales has denied that police forces have failed to combat the

:13:46. > :13:48.radicalisation of British Muslims, after two men from Cardiff appeared

:13:49. > :13:52.in a video urging others to join them and the terrorist organisation

:13:53. > :13:56.ISIS in Iraq and Syria. Jeremy Cooke's been gauging

:13:57. > :14:18.reaction in Cardiff. Answering the call to prayer. On the

:14:19. > :14:22.eve of the holy month of Ramadan, the Muslim faithful of Cardiff,

:14:23. > :14:27.receiving a message of peace and tolerance. No envy, no hatred

:14:28. > :14:34.towards any person on earth around me.

:14:35. > :14:39.We both met previous to high school, attending karate lessons. This

:14:40. > :14:43.19-year-old here's the message and rejects violence, but his best

:14:44. > :14:50.school friend has taken a different path. About a year ago they lost

:14:51. > :14:55.contact. We have brothers from Bangladesh, Iraq, Cambodia. The next

:14:56. > :14:59.time he saw his friend was on TV, a week ago. It did shock me, seeing

:15:00. > :15:04.him like that. Knowing his intentions to go and help. He's

:15:05. > :15:10.there with a gun. It is hard to explain, isn't it? To be honest, you

:15:11. > :15:16.are not going to go to a battlefield without a gun, as you do not jump in

:15:17. > :15:19.a shower and expect not to get wet. There is sympathy here for fellow

:15:20. > :15:24.Muslims courting conflict in Syria and Iraq. But for him, that does not

:15:25. > :15:29.justify violence. His friend, though, seems to think differently.

:15:30. > :15:34.He maybe has an opinion that what he is doing is right. Some people might

:15:35. > :15:38.say it is wrong. You get to a stage and age in life where it is no

:15:39. > :15:44.longer about family and friends but what you want for your afterlife.

:15:45. > :15:50.Another face of Islam in Cardiff, a fashion show. The Arabic speaking

:15:51. > :15:54.Yemeni community here is tight-knit. It can be rare for outsiders to hear

:15:55. > :16:00.especially from young women. Many here know the youths in the video.

:16:01. > :16:03.They were very good boys. They were not involved in anything bad,

:16:04. > :16:08.nothing before this, which is why it is such a shock. As Muslims, as

:16:09. > :16:14.sisters, we would love to get the message across to all brothers and

:16:15. > :16:18.to the boys and to the youth itself, because jet had is not to go around

:16:19. > :16:23.killing innocent people. But look on the internet and you can find a very

:16:24. > :16:33.different message. Extremist views, a call to arms. He does not know

:16:34. > :16:34.what radicalised his friend, but he knows that something, someone

:16:35. > :16:40.changed him, and will try to do the same to him. If there are people

:16:41. > :16:48.behind it that are saying, let's go, we will fund you to go abroad, don't

:16:49. > :16:56.go breaking hearts of mums and dads. Because that is not the way forward.

:16:57. > :17:01.Our top story this evening: David Cameron has failed in his bid

:17:02. > :17:02.to block Jean-Claude Juncker from the European Commission's top job.

:17:03. > :17:11.And still to come: And still to come:

:17:12. > :17:13.Wimbledon's top seed survives an injury scare to go through to the

:17:14. > :17:21.fourth round - Murray's up next. Later: A college accused by the

:17:22. > :17:24.Government of allowing overseas students to work illegally demands

:17:25. > :17:28.an apology. A chance to travel back in time for a unique hands on

:17:29. > :17:36.experience of life during the Great War.

:17:37. > :17:41.Luis Suarez has flown home to Uruguay after being thrown out of

:17:42. > :17:43.the World Cup for biting an Italian defender. But the controversy

:17:44. > :17:46.continues over the star player's punishment - which includes being

:17:47. > :17:50.banned from football for four months. A senior FIFA official said

:17:51. > :17:54.he thinks Suarez needs some kind of treatment for his biting habit -

:17:55. > :17:56.while the one bitten said he thought the punishment is excessive. Our

:17:57. > :18:00.Chief Sports Correspondent Dan Roan has the latest.

:18:01. > :18:07.He's meant to be one of the poster boys of the World Cup. Instead, this

:18:08. > :18:14.is what Luis Suarez has been reduced to on social media across the world.

:18:15. > :18:20.The four-month ban was the longest in the tournament's history. Today,

:18:21. > :18:24.even his victim, Giorgio Chiellini, said the punishment was excessive

:18:25. > :18:29.but FIFA insist they had no choice. I think he should find a way to stop

:18:30. > :18:33.doing it. He should go through treatment. I don't know if it

:18:34. > :18:38.exists. He should do something for himself. It is definitely wrong.

:18:39. > :18:47.Tell that to the Suarez faithful. This was the scene at the airport

:18:48. > :18:54.last night as hundreds of fans waited to give the disgraced striker

:18:55. > :19:00.a hero's welcome. Suarez never appeared. Back in Rio, this poster

:19:01. > :19:04.had become an overnight sensation, but Suarez has vanished from the

:19:05. > :19:11.World Cup in every sense. Interestingly, today here Suarez's

:19:12. > :19:17.face has disappeared from this billboard, replaced by Alvez. FIFA

:19:18. > :19:25.are all too aware of the need to project a good image. It was bad for

:19:26. > :19:30.the whole event. It is better to ban him for two years or something like

:19:31. > :19:36.that. He should be an example. An example to children? Yes. Yes. The

:19:37. > :19:39.Yu Genwei team have arrived here to play their next match tomorrow --

:19:40. > :19:46.the Uruguay team have arrived here to play their next match tomorrow.

:19:47. > :19:50.Russia has threatened "serious consequences" after Ukraine signed a

:19:51. > :19:53.free-trade agreement with the European Union this morning. It was

:19:54. > :19:57.the rejection of a similar agreement by Ukraine last year which led to

:19:58. > :20:00.mass protests, the ousting of the pro-Moscow government in Kiev and

:20:01. > :20:05.Russia's annexation of Crimea. Daniel Sandford's in Moscow for us.

:20:06. > :20:11.How significant a day is this for the Ukraine and how worried is the

:20:12. > :20:16.President by this threat from Russia? It is a very significant

:20:17. > :20:23.day. For many people, that is what the nightmare of the last seven

:20:24. > :20:27.months has been all about. It was when the President didn't sign this

:20:28. > :20:30.deal that hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets in Kiev.

:20:31. > :20:36.The President fled in fear of his life. Subsequently, Russia annexed

:20:37. > :20:40.Crimea so when the new President signed the deal finally today, he

:20:41. > :20:46.said it showed the will of the people had prevailed. It has come at

:20:47. > :20:49.a huge price. Ukraine has lost Crimea for Europe and America. Their

:20:50. > :20:54.relations with Russia are at a new low. It is almost as if a a new Cold

:20:55. > :20:59.War has started. There is a new war in eastern Ukraine. More than

:21:00. > :21:03.100,000 people have fled eastern Ukraine for southern Russia and the

:21:04. > :21:07.big question now is whether President Putin says OK the deal is

:21:08. > :21:11.done now and I will stop trying to destabilise the situation in eastern

:21:12. > :21:15.Ukraine, or whether he will continue to make the new pro-Europe

:21:16. > :21:23.government in Kiev pay. Thank you. The supermarket chain Lidl says it

:21:24. > :21:26.will open 20 new stores by the end of the year, creating 2,500 jobs.

:21:27. > :21:29.Discount stores like Lidl and Aldi have seen their market share grow,

:21:30. > :21:30.at the expense of the major supermarkets. Lidl will eventually

:22:00. > :22:02.Centre Court in the third round of the Men's Singles at Wimbledon. If

:22:03. > :22:05.all goes to plan, he'll meet Novak Djokovic in the semi-finals next

:22:06. > :22:08.week. The number one seed had an injury scare in his match this

:22:09. > :22:10.afternoon, but went through to the fourth round in straight sets. Joe

:22:11. > :22:18.Wilson is at the All England Club. Yes, I think Andy Murray will have a

:22:19. > :22:22.lovely evening for his match, presumably with the roof open. The

:22:23. > :22:26.weather has been so much better than we had feared. Around Wimbledon,

:22:27. > :22:32.there have been one or two nasty surprises. Poise, power, precision -

:22:33. > :22:41.all things to think of when you are serving. Remember, doubles is a team

:22:42. > :22:47.game. She was fit to continue after this breakdown in relations with her

:22:48. > :22:48.partner on Court 8. On Centre, the afternoon began with Novak Djokovic,

:22:49. > :22:53.who was coasting and then tumbling. afternoon began with Novak Djokovic,

:22:54. > :22:57.who was coasting and The fall seemed relatively routine. But the number

:22:58. > :23:03.one seed was in agony instantly, worrying. After extensive treatment,

:23:04. > :23:07.he was fit to play on. And the one advantage of injuring the left

:23:08. > :23:11.shoulder is that Djokovic uses his right. Straight-sets win over Gilles

:23:12. > :23:18.Simon. COMMENTARY: Game, set and match,

:23:19. > :23:22.Djokovic. Venus Williams may carry a certain weariness on to court, but

:23:23. > :23:26.there is one player who wasn't born when she made her Wimbledon debut.

:23:27. > :23:32.She can still show the touches of an all-time great. And at 34, there is

:23:33. > :23:39.still power and hunger, enough to take the first set against the 2011

:23:40. > :23:44.champion, Petra Kvitova. Venus Williams has to battle her own body,

:23:45. > :23:48.having been diagnosed with an auto-immune disease. As for battling

:23:49. > :23:53.her opponent, Kvitova took the second set after a tie-break. The

:23:54. > :23:56.third set progressed as an epic struggle between two women separated

:23:57. > :24:05.by a decade in age but not much else. Of course, it meant for many,

:24:06. > :24:09.a wait for Andy Murray. In the last few minutes, Kvitova prevailed

:24:10. > :24:15.finally in that third set 7-5. So the stage is set for Andy Murray,

:24:16. > :24:24.who has just strolled on to Centre Court to playing a Agut.

:24:25. > :24:29.Now there aren't many chances in life to see acts as diverse Dolly

:24:30. > :24:31.Parton, Metallica and the English National Ballet in one weekend - but

:24:32. > :24:35.that's what Glastonbury's offering this year. The diversity of the acts

:24:36. > :24:36.both in terms of age and musical persuasion has perhaps rarely been

:24:37. > :24:47.wider. Lizo Mzimba is there for us. Despite a gloomy and wet forecast,

:24:48. > :24:56.the start of the Festival turned out sunny with thousands flocking to the

:24:57. > :25:01.different acts across the site. Glastonbury's success depends on

:25:02. > :25:05.fans get to see the music they want to hear, especially as they spend

:25:06. > :25:09.more than ?200 on a ticket before it is announced who is playing. Many

:25:10. > :25:16.expressed their unhappiness when Glastonbury's choice for Saturday

:25:17. > :25:21.night headliner was revealed. Metallica are the first big metal

:25:22. > :25:26.band to be given such a prestigious headlining slot. Their reputation as

:25:27. > :25:29.one of music's most spectacular acts is one reason Glastonbury's founder

:25:30. > :25:36.thinks the pessimists will be proved wrong. I think they will go down

:25:37. > :25:42.really well. Their enthusiasm to play this event has been second to

:25:43. > :25:46.none, you know. There is no other band in the world that was so keen

:25:47. > :25:52.to play as Metallica. To many, the image is one of an event only for

:25:53. > :25:55.young music fans. One of Glastonbury's biggest performers

:25:56. > :25:58.disagrees. My mum hates festivals. She never goes anywhere that doesn't

:25:59. > :26:03.have a seat. She is here. If my mum can be here, it is for everyone. You

:26:04. > :26:06.think it's a very inclusive festival? Yes, if you ignore the mud

:26:07. > :26:19.and focus on the music, you are good! Blondie were having hits long

:26:20. > :26:25.before Ed Sheeran was even before. Music is what I do. It is what I

:26:26. > :26:30.love to do. I think I do it better than I did it before, so why

:26:31. > :26:35.shouldn't we perform for large audiences? And the thousands in an

:26:36. > :26:38.audience of all age groups gave every impression that this was

:26:39. > :26:44.exactly the kind of start to the Festival they were hoping for.

:26:45. > :26:48.Time for a look at the weather. It didn't look too muddy at

:26:49. > :26:50.Glastonbury. Are they going to be lucky?

:26:51. > :26:57.In the past hour, the heavens have opened. Glastonbury was not the only

:26:58. > :27:01.place to see lightning and downpours today. It shows where we have had

:27:02. > :27:05.the lightning strikes this afternoon. Some flooding from the

:27:06. > :27:08.thunderstorms in Norfolk. Then this batch of thunderstorms will move

:27:09. > :27:12.through the Glastonbury area and now more storms across parts of

:27:13. > :27:15.Northamptonshire and Cambridgeshire. Lots of spray and surface water on

:27:16. > :27:19.the roads from the downpours covering a good part of England and

:27:20. > :27:22.Wales. If you are heading out, the storms may ease, but there will

:27:23. > :27:28.still be lots of showers through the night. Further north, it will stay

:27:29. > :27:35.generally dry. Another chilly one in Scotland. Mild in the south. Could

:27:36. > :27:38.turn misty after all the downpours so a grey, murky start. There will

:27:39. > :27:42.be more big showers to come tomorrow. More thunderstorms

:27:43. > :27:45.expected, more likely across the Midlands and then pushing into

:27:46. > :27:50.southern counties of England. The likelihood of some torrential,

:27:51. > :27:54.potentially thundery downpours could cause some problems, like today they

:27:55. > :27:59.will be hit-and-miss. Wimbledon won't be as lucky tomorrow. One or

:28:00. > :28:04.two big downpours in South Wales. Further north, a sprinkling of

:28:05. > :28:09.showers. But they will be few and far between. A bit of sunshine, but

:28:10. > :28:13.temperatures far from spectacular - 16 or 17 degrees. A cool start to

:28:14. > :28:17.Sunday. Down the eastern side, we will see more showers continuing.

:28:18. > :28:21.One or two elsewhere. Sunday looks like being the brighter day of the

:28:22. > :28:26.weekend. Many of us will see some sunshine. Temperatures far from

:28:27. > :28:29.spectacular for a June weekend. A bit of a split picture through the

:28:30. > :28:32.weekend. Sunny spells in the north on Saturday. Watch out for

:28:33. > :28:34.thunderstorms in the south. Sunday, the dry and brighter day of the

:28:35. > :28:44.weekend. That's all from the BBC News at Six,

:28:45. > :28:45.so it's goodbye from me - and on BBC One we now
