:00:27. > :00:35.I know the only thing my parents are worried about is Ashya King and so I

:01:11. > :01:15.On BBC London: The Mayor's hope for an Estuary airport -

:01:16. > :01:18.the BBC understands that it hasn't made a government shortlist.

:01:19. > :01:19.And new CCTV footage is released showing the so-called Plebgate

:01:20. > :01:38.incident in Downing street. Good evening and welcome to the

:01:39. > :01:41.BBC News at Six. A couple who removed their seriously

:01:42. > :01:45.ill son from hospital in Southampton are in a Spanish jail tonight after

:01:46. > :01:48.refusing to return to Britain. A judge in Madrid has ruled that

:01:49. > :01:54.the couple must be held while the court considers whether to grant

:01:55. > :01:55.Britain an extradition request. Five year old Ashya King

:01:56. > :01:58.has brain cancer. His family say they took him

:01:59. > :02:01.to Spain in search of alternative treatment.

:02:02. > :02:13.He's now under police guard in hospital in Malaga.

:02:14. > :02:16.From there Jon Kay reports. Now facing prison, the parents

:02:17. > :02:24.of Ashya King at their extradition hearing in Madrid today.

:02:25. > :02:28.Inside, they refuse to be sent back to Britain so Brett and

:02:29. > :02:30.Naghemeh King will spend up to 72 hours behind bars while authorities

:02:31. > :02:31.decide what to do next. They have not been charged

:02:32. > :02:34.with any offence. Hundreds of miles of way

:02:35. > :02:36.in the south of Spain, their little boy Ashya King is being

:02:37. > :02:42.treated in this Malaga hospital, close to where the family were

:02:43. > :02:45.found by police at the weekend. It is going to be that one or

:02:46. > :02:48.the one on top. This afternoon, I met his older

:02:49. > :02:51.brother Danny trying to visit the five-year-old but he was told

:02:52. > :02:55.that Ashya was under police guard and because of the situation he

:02:56. > :02:58.couldn't be seen by any relatives. He is used to having family

:02:59. > :03:02.around him 24 hours a day. My mum, in the UK, never left his

:03:03. > :03:06.bedside so I honestly don't know what is going through his mind but I

:03:07. > :03:13.know he is really scared and he does not speak or understand Spanish.

:03:14. > :03:15.As soon as we get inside it would be best to help him.

:03:16. > :03:23.23-year-old Danny is now looking after his five other brothers

:03:24. > :03:25.and sisters. He says they couldn't believe it

:03:26. > :03:29.when their parents were arrested because in itself it is not illegal

:03:30. > :03:31.to remove a child from a British hospital.

:03:32. > :03:33.But the courts will have to decide if Ashya King was put at risk.

:03:34. > :03:36.We were shocked. In the beginning we were

:03:37. > :03:37.in disbelief. Really?

:03:38. > :03:46.He had been taken from the hospital onto a ferry and you as a family did

:03:47. > :03:49.not expect any kind of pursuit? We didn't know what was going

:03:50. > :03:52.on until we got here. The family wanted to pay for

:03:53. > :03:54.Ashya King to have private cancer treatment.

:03:55. > :03:58.They had come to Spain to sell a property they owned

:03:59. > :04:01.and wanted to use the money to come to this clinic in the Czech Republic

:04:02. > :04:02.which offers proton beam therapy which isn't currently available

:04:03. > :04:18.on the NHS in the UK. We have a lot of experience treating

:04:19. > :04:18.children. In a few days, it is capable of travelling and

:04:19. > :04:25.everything, he can be treated here. on the NHS in the UK.

:04:26. > :04:27.Back in Malaga, the phone call Danny has been waiting for.

:04:28. > :04:30.Doctors say he can go inside and visit his little brother.

:04:31. > :04:36.The first family member he will have seen since Saturday night.

:04:37. > :04:44.I am told that Ashya King is in this hospital and in a stable condition.

:04:45. > :04:50.Back home, the hospital that was treating him until last Thursday has

:04:51. > :04:57.issued a statement. They say that they regret that communication with

:04:58. > :05:03.the family had broken down and say that his welfare was always their

:05:04. > :05:07.top priority. As far as the proton beam therapy is concerned, they say

:05:08. > :05:10.they have sent patients abroad in some cases but it is not always

:05:11. > :05:13.beneficial. have seen since Saturday night.

:05:14. > :05:15.Our health editor Hugh Pym joins me now.

:05:16. > :05:17.This case will leave people wondering how much control they

:05:18. > :05:20.actually have over their child's medical treatment.

:05:21. > :05:25.Parents do have a wide discretion where it comes to their children.

:05:26. > :05:30.They can say to the hospital they want to take their child outside of

:05:31. > :05:35.that hot at all. However, the hospital has a duty of care to the

:05:36. > :05:41.patient and if they feel the care is compromised, they can pursue a court

:05:42. > :05:45.order even if the parents did not want it. Hospitals can also act in

:05:46. > :05:51.emergencies if they have no clearance from parents or a court.

:05:52. > :05:58.Local authorities often go to a High Court to give the judge complete

:05:59. > :06:04.control over the care of a child. As a separate criminal strand, it is an

:06:05. > :06:07.offence to carry out wilful neglect and that includes failing to carry

:06:08. > :06:12.out adequate care. That sort of case is very rare.

:06:13. > :06:15.their child's medical treatment. Police will be given temporary

:06:16. > :06:17.powers to seize passports at UK borders of Britons they believe are

:06:18. > :06:19.travelling abroad to fight with terror groups.

:06:20. > :06:22.The Prime Minister says airlines will now be legally obliged to

:06:23. > :06:24.hand over passenger lists to help identify Islamist fighters.

:06:25. > :06:26.But he stopped short of announcing a ban on British

:06:27. > :06:31.extremists returning to the country after fighting alongside

:06:32. > :06:32.Islamist groups in Syria and Iraq. Here's our deputy political editor,

:06:33. > :06:45.James Landale. No one knows how many Britons are

:06:46. > :06:49.fighting for Islamic State in Syria and Iraq. Some say it is 500 and

:06:50. > :06:54.others say it is many more. All agree that some will pose a security

:06:55. > :06:58.threat if they return home. David Cameron's security people do not

:06:59. > :07:04.like him walking to Westminster. Only days after the terror threat

:07:05. > :07:07.was raised to severe, the Prime Minister marched down Whitehall to

:07:08. > :07:16.tell MPs that the threat was real and more should be done to confront

:07:17. > :07:19.it. There should not be a knee jerk reaction or an introduction of new

:07:20. > :07:27.powers that would be ultimately ineffective. That would not be what

:07:28. > :07:30.those who safe would want. He announced that the police would have

:07:31. > :07:37.temporary new powers to seize the passports of Britons travelling to

:07:38. > :07:41.fight with Islamic State. Airlines would have to hand over passenger

:07:42. > :07:45.information earlier and the security services would be given powers to

:07:46. > :07:49.relocate terror suspects away from their home towns, power they had in

:07:50. > :07:57.tilt control orders were abolished. It was clear that the coalition

:07:58. > :08:02.party did not agree on plans to stop British writers returning home. We

:08:03. > :08:06.need discretionary power to exclude magician nationals from the UK and

:08:07. > :08:12.we will work out proposals with our agencies and in line with our

:08:13. > :08:18.international obligations. In other words, after days of warning about

:08:19. > :08:22.the threats from British extremists, there is no agreement on how to stop

:08:23. > :08:26.them coming home. They are constrained by law and politics.

:08:27. > :08:31.Labour welcomed most of what was announced but wanted more.

:08:32. > :08:35.Relocation was indeed a central part of control orders and it was a

:08:36. > :08:42.mistake to get rid of them in the first place. Does he also agree that

:08:43. > :08:50.we need a comprehensive programme? Nick Clegg who has warned that new

:08:51. > :08:54.laws should not undermine civil liberties had insisted he has not

:08:55. > :09:00.gone back on what he said. This is not repeating the mistakes that the

:09:01. > :09:05.last Labour government introduced. Seven people absconded from control

:09:06. > :09:13.orders. This is responding to an independent review of the existing

:09:14. > :09:15.legislation. This is tough talk and headline grabbing stuff. We have

:09:16. > :09:23.listened to it for over a decade. It's does not replace charges and

:09:24. > :09:30.prison. The government has said this is not the whole story. The threat

:09:31. > :09:38.from Islamic State will only be as on the ground.

:09:39. > :09:40.James Landale. So, the

:09:41. > :09:43.government is hoping to stem the flow of Britons heading for Iraq and

:09:44. > :09:45.Syria, but will these new measures be enough to dissuade them?

:09:46. > :09:46.Here's our Home Affairs Correspondent June Kelly.

:09:47. > :09:52.For 20 minutes, we spent time in a ditch being bombed. This is what the

:09:53. > :09:58.government is up against in what appears to be atypical propaganda

:09:59. > :10:01.video. A young man, said to be British, urges others to join him on

:10:02. > :10:07.the battlefield of the Middle East. At least 500 Britons have already

:10:08. > :10:14.travelled there. Ministers are trying to stop more from following.

:10:15. > :10:21.These two men have radical views and wants to live in an Islamic State

:10:22. > :10:25.under Sharia Law. Those are dismissive of measures announced

:10:26. > :10:29.today. Many people will be radicalised by these policies and

:10:30. > :10:34.see it as an example of draconian laws. It will not have any impact at

:10:35. > :10:42.all. A few months ago, this video said to be from Islamic State,

:10:43. > :10:49.featured a young British men, including two from Cardiff. Although

:10:50. > :10:53.it has met opposition, the government says it is looking for

:10:54. > :10:57.the possibility of excluding British nationals like these who have chosen

:10:58. > :11:02.to fight from being allowed back into the country. It is a source of

:11:03. > :11:11.disquiet from one of the Cardiff families. I would be seriously

:11:12. > :11:18.worried. Those boys are British-born and the first thing everybody wants

:11:19. > :11:23.is there children back home. As the government strives to stop them from

:11:24. > :11:25.leaving home in the first place, terror suspects facing tougher

:11:26. > :11:28.conditions. They could be forced to move away from home towns. Although

:11:29. > :11:35.there is the question civil liberties, it is an effective tactic

:11:36. > :11:37.to take them away from vulnerable communities as they are dangerous

:11:38. > :11:44.individuals and we cannot have them openly preaching and influencing

:11:45. > :11:49.young people into terrorism. A conflict thousands of miles away has

:11:50. > :11:51.led to the UK terror threat level to be raised and it is now also shaping

:11:52. > :11:58.government policy. Correspondent June Kelly.

:11:59. > :12:01.Let's speak to our Political Editor Nick Robinson.

:12:02. > :12:03.Nick we've heard about measures to stop Britons going out but what

:12:04. > :12:09.about stopping those coming back? That is the curiosity. A few days

:12:10. > :12:14.ago, we were told the threat level had gone to severe, an attack is

:12:15. > :12:19.highly likely. The Prime Minister says it is the most serious crisis

:12:20. > :12:22.we have faced. There are 500 fighters abroad, many who want to

:12:23. > :12:27.come home. Could they be excluded? Could there passports be taken away?

:12:28. > :12:33.Frankly, there was no answer to Dave. Simply the promise of more

:12:34. > :12:38.consideration and more party talks, we will get back to you later. The

:12:39. > :12:46.reason is clear. Simply chucking them out if you like, saying you are

:12:47. > :12:51.not British, even having temporary powers to take away their passports

:12:52. > :12:57.could be illegal. The lawyers cannot agree on that. David Cameron's

:12:58. > :13:03.advisers have said he is simply being careful. Others will say, you

:13:04. > :13:04.told us of the threat but you have given us no answer on how you will

:13:05. > :13:08.deal with it. about stopping those coming back?

:13:09. > :13:11.He's been described as "a hero" by the charity he was with

:13:12. > :13:14.in West Africa. Will Pooley was working with ebola

:13:15. > :13:17.victims in Sierra Leone until he was struck down by the disease himself.

:13:18. > :13:20.He's now still inside an isolation unit in London's

:13:21. > :13:22.Royal Free Hospital and his family have given their first broadcast

:13:23. > :13:23.interview about his condition. They've been speaking to our Health

:13:24. > :13:37.Correspondent Branwen Jeffreys. Will risked his own life in the

:13:38. > :13:42.ebola outbreak. Now this committed nurse is fighting the virus. His

:13:43. > :13:46.parents, Jackie and Robin, have spent ten days at the hospital.

:13:47. > :13:54.Today they told me he is able to begin to get out of bed. He has a

:13:55. > :14:00.little step in there where he can rebuild his strength. That is a good

:14:01. > :14:06.sign, I've think. We talked to him through a telephone link. We can

:14:07. > :14:11.stand and see him through the glass and Polly Dean. He is talking a lot

:14:12. > :14:22.more than he was at the beginning. He is interested in more things.

:14:23. > :14:32.Yes, and his is back. He had a bacon butty. Only a handful of staff can

:14:33. > :14:37.enter the isolation unit. Will is spending his days inside a sealed

:14:38. > :14:42.10th. The are two nurses in the room at all times. You think he is

:14:43. > :14:51.relieved to be here? He is glad to have such good care. He is aware of

:14:52. > :14:56.what he has left behind. At the hospital there are 240 doctors and

:14:57. > :15:04.nurses who have been infected. Half of them have died. The family were

:15:05. > :15:12.at a wedding when Will became ill. The fact that the richest government

:15:13. > :15:18.acted as the insurance policy was fantastic. -- British. All the

:15:19. > :15:28.worst-case scenarios. We were worried he would not get out of the

:15:29. > :15:30.country. There were checkpoints and 160 miles to travel across. You must

:15:31. > :15:42.be glad to have him? Very. Our top story this evening.

:15:43. > :15:45.The parents of Ashya King fight being returned to Britain after

:15:46. > :15:48.taking their son to Spain seeking treatment for his brain tumour.

:15:49. > :15:53.And coming up. Remembering the real life war horses

:15:54. > :15:56.who saw battle in World War One. Later on BBC London.

:15:57. > :16:00.Chip and Pin fraud - we track down one criminal who

:16:01. > :16:03.targets Londoners from Canada. And we have a run down

:16:04. > :16:15.on the players coming and going in our London clubs

:16:16. > :16:18.on transfer deadline day. Now in Scotland and some other parts

:16:19. > :16:21.of the UK, children are already back in their classrooms, but

:16:22. > :16:24.for millions of other children the new school year beckons this week.

:16:25. > :16:30.In England there are big changes this year.

:16:31. > :16:36.Primary schools are to teach fractions to five-year-olds and

:16:37. > :16:39.secondary schools are to teach more Shakespeare. All primary schools

:16:40. > :16:43.will be required to offer free school meals to children in the

:16:44. > :16:47.first three years. And there are changes to the provision for

:16:48. > :17:01.children with special educational needs. Reading practice in

:17:02. > :17:05.Leicester. But the government admit this new curriculum is rigorous and

:17:06. > :17:09.tough. But headteachers think they should have the power to teach

:17:10. > :17:15.children the things that they think pupils should know.

:17:16. > :17:20.I did not have a problem with the old National Curriculum or the new

:17:21. > :17:26.one. The reason I do not is that the schools like this have always done

:17:27. > :17:28.what they think is important. We emphasise certain things in the

:17:29. > :17:32.curriculum and we do certain things that are beyond the National

:17:33. > :17:38.Curriculum. Fibrils will be taught to understand

:17:39. > :17:41.basic fractions like one half or one quarter and will then help

:17:42. > :17:45.algorithms work. I aged nine pupils will be expected to know there are

:17:46. > :17:50.12 times tables and by age 11 they should be able to spell words like

:17:51. > :17:54.accommodate and with them. A tough call a primary school but quite

:17:55. > :18:01.challenging for adults, as we discovered.

:18:02. > :18:19.Can you spell the world accommodate those Mac -- the word.

:18:20. > :18:36.Do you know what an algorithm is? Something mathematical. Ten out of

:18:37. > :18:40.ten! That is 128. 132. Other changes this term include free school meals

:18:41. > :18:44.for infant pupils in England. The plan provoked a fierce row over

:18:45. > :18:48.funding within the coalition of the Liberal Democrats have told BBC News

:18:49. > :18:53.that 90% of schools will be able to provide a hot meal for pupils found

:18:54. > :18:56.this week. And pupils who have special education needs will have

:18:57. > :19:00.more choice about which schools they can go to. Their parents will be

:19:01. > :19:06.given personalised budgets to spend as they wish. Back at Taylor Road

:19:07. > :19:10.they are working hard to meet the new challenges. The government hopes

:19:11. > :19:14.all the changes will raise attainment levels and help schools

:19:15. > :19:23.compete with the best education systems in the world. David Cameron

:19:24. > :19:30.has described the presence of Russian soldiers on Ukrainian cell

:19:31. > :19:35.as completely unacceptable. Pro-Moscow forces continue to make

:19:36. > :19:45.ground on Ukrainian troops in the east of the country. Experts who won

:19:46. > :19:48.decade ago were asked to look into claims of grooming of young girls in

:19:49. > :19:51.Rotherham has spoke of their frustrations that there are warnings

:19:52. > :19:56.were ignored. They told panorama that the findings were not taken

:19:57. > :19:58.seriously. It emerged last week that around 1400 children were sexually

:19:59. > :20:04.exploited in the town. big changes this year.

:20:05. > :20:09.Children were groomed and abused all over Rotherham.

:20:10. > :20:18.Tonight the BBC can reveal that evidence was removed from council

:20:19. > :20:23.offices. One drug worker says city was ignored. Isabel was 14 when she

:20:24. > :20:30.was repeatedly raped. We protected her identity and change to a voice.

:20:31. > :20:34.Legally if you're not 16 then do something about it. No point having

:20:35. > :20:40.a law and not sticking to it. I was a child. But all this abuse could

:20:41. > :20:44.have been prevented. An independent enquiry revealed a report written in

:20:45. > :20:52.2002 detailing the victims and the grooming gangs, was depressed. The

:20:53. > :20:54.report also has spoken to the BBC on condition of anonymity. She believes

:20:55. > :21:01.that key evidence went missing from council offices. They had taken my

:21:02. > :21:07.data. One draw was emptied of my data. The council says it has no

:21:08. > :21:10.evidence of a raid but it would take eight years before these men were

:21:11. > :21:14.prosecuted. The only grooming gangs to be jailed in rather hmmm. There

:21:15. > :21:20.were many missed opportunities to stop the abuse. -- rather hmmm. The

:21:21. > :21:27.council and police refused to believe how big the problem was. Two

:21:28. > :21:31.more reports on Pakistani heritage grooming gangs were shown to the

:21:32. > :21:36.council and police. The author has spoken exclusively to the BBC. Some

:21:37. > :21:43.people felt ethnicity was a barrier to investigating. It was seen to be

:21:44. > :21:47.too sensitive. The council and police both say that vulnerable

:21:48. > :21:52.children are now listen to. Too late for the 1400 exploited here.

:21:53. > :21:55.and abused all over Rotherham. And you can see a full investigation

:21:56. > :21:58.into the child abuse in Rotherham in a special Panorama tonight.

:21:59. > :22:04.Stolen Childhoods - The Grooming Scandal will be shown at 8:30pm

:22:05. > :22:07.on BBC One. It's transfer deadline day today -

:22:08. > :22:10.when the Premier League usually goes on a spending spree

:22:11. > :22:13.in an attempt to improve their chances of success and silverware.

:22:14. > :22:16.So far in this transfer window clubs have already spent a record

:22:17. > :22:19.?750 million on players. The biggest spenders are

:22:20. > :22:20.Manchester United. Our Sports Correspondent Andy Swiss

:22:21. > :22:34.is at Old Trafford. It has been a shopping spree like no

:22:35. > :22:38.other. From Angela Di Maria to the signing of Radamel Falcao,

:22:39. > :22:43.Manchester United have flung open their cheque book this summer

:22:44. > :22:46.splashing ?150 million to try to revive their fortunes. It has left

:22:47. > :22:50.the Old Trafford decorators with a bit of work. The recent picked

:22:51. > :22:57.already out of date. But for the fans spending their way out of

:22:58. > :23:03.trouble as Goop welcome if costly. It is crazy what people spend these

:23:04. > :23:10.days. Do you think you have value for money? Definitely. But it is not

:23:11. > :23:16.just Manchester United. There has been unprecedented spending across

:23:17. > :23:20.the Premier League. Last summer ?630 million record has been smashed

:23:21. > :23:23.already. By the start of today ?745 million had been spent this summer

:23:24. > :23:29.and a late surge could push the total cluster to be 1 billion mark.

:23:30. > :23:40.How can clubs afford these global stars like Mario Balotelli? A new

:23:41. > :23:44.bumper television deal has left the team any more than the champions

:23:45. > :23:48.used to even the bare bottom of the table. But is this a bubble that is

:23:49. > :23:51.likely to burst? If you look at what is going on with social media, live

:23:52. > :23:56.sport is still the biggest news there is. The public loved like

:23:57. > :24:02.nothing else. As long as there is that glamour then the money will

:24:03. > :24:04.keep on following. Instead of tightening their belts, the top

:24:05. > :24:08.teams are still loosening their wallets. But if it brings them

:24:09. > :24:11.trophies and for some return to the glory days, this summer of

:24:12. > :24:16.extraordinary spending might yet pay off.

:24:17. > :24:20.Even by footballing standard it has been quite the summer. The transfer

:24:21. > :24:26.window closes at 11 o'clock tonight and after that clubs cannot buy any

:24:27. > :24:29.new players until next year. So for some clubs what they do over the

:24:30. > :24:33.next few hours just might decide their season.

:24:34. > :24:36.is at Old Trafford. Their contribution in the

:24:37. > :24:38.First World War was highlighted in the play War Horse

:24:39. > :24:41.and today the animals and men of the British Cavalry Division are

:24:42. > :24:44.being remembered in France. A hundred years ago the men

:24:45. > :24:47.on horseback helped to stop the German advance on Paris.

:24:48. > :24:55.It was also the last time cavalry on horseback took part in a major

:24:56. > :24:58.battle, as Robert Hall reports. Through the narrow streets of Nery,

:24:59. > :25:07.the clatter of hooves and the rumble of gun carriages, turning the clock

:25:08. > :25:12.back to a summer morning long ago. During August 1914, German armies

:25:13. > :25:15.were driving south and west. In the months before the stalemate

:25:16. > :25:18.of trench warfare, cavalry units still had a part to play.

:25:19. > :25:24.Scouting ahead and raiding enemy lines.

:25:25. > :25:27.The warhorse ride has retraced the days leading up to

:25:28. > :25:31.the battle at Nery. Dressed and equipped

:25:32. > :25:37.as their predecessors, each rider represented one wartime regiment.

:25:38. > :25:42.On the foggy morning of September the 1st,

:25:43. > :25:47.all hell broke loose in Nery. British cavalry and artillery were

:25:48. > :25:50.under fire from a much larger force. Today part

:25:51. > :25:57.of that story unfolded again on the exact spot where three Victoria

:25:58. > :26:00.crosses were won in under an hour. Captain Edward Bradbury, Battery

:26:01. > :26:02.Sergeant Major George Dorrell and Sergeant David Nelson kept one

:26:03. > :26:06.field gun firing after all the others were destroyed.

:26:07. > :26:10.George Dorrell's grandchildren said though modest,

:26:11. > :26:15.he would have been proud to think he had been remembered.

:26:16. > :26:20.I think if you listen to my grandfather he would have said,

:26:21. > :26:25.I'm trained to do it. And that is what we did.

:26:26. > :26:28.It was really them or us. Gunfire echoing again

:26:29. > :26:31.across the rooftops. The salute to the men

:26:32. > :26:42.and the horses who died whilst holding the line against the odds.

:26:43. > :26:50.Now time for a look at the weather and it is feeling a little bit more

:26:51. > :26:55.summery. For just about all of the UK

:26:56. > :26:58.compared with the past few weeks it is drier and warmer this week. Even

:26:59. > :27:04.in the cloud temperatures easily reaching the heights teens. With a

:27:05. > :27:11.bit of strong September sunshine that will rise well into the

:27:12. > :27:13.mid-20s. The reason is high pressure extending from the mid Atlantic at

:27:14. > :27:18.the moment. These weather fronts have been reducing the rain and

:27:19. > :27:25.drizzle today across parts of England. Still some of that to come

:27:26. > :27:30.but that will largely fade away. For most it is a dry night with clear

:27:31. > :27:36.skies in the West. The odd patch of mist and fog in the countryside. But

:27:37. > :27:41.most major towns and cities around ten, 14 degrees. The weather front

:27:42. > :27:46.which produced the rain today is still in eastern areas tomorrow.

:27:47. > :27:50.Even with the high-pressure really establishing itself. It will be the

:27:51. > :27:56.focus of a lot of mist and globe cloud to start with. Some dense fog

:27:57. > :28:01.patches as well. That will gradually lift. Just some drizzle around

:28:02. > :28:08.through the day that away from that a lot of sunny weather to come. The

:28:09. > :28:14.best of that in parts of central Scotland and the Midlands. The

:28:15. > :28:19.high-pressure pushes toward the east into Wednesday. Picking out the

:28:20. > :28:27.sunny spots is a little bit difficult. To the west of high

:28:28. > :28:32.ground and to the north of high ground in Scotland this is where the

:28:33. > :28:37.sunniest conditions will be. Temperatures well into the 20s for

:28:38. > :28:41.many. Elsewhere are generally dry picture but something went in the

:28:42. > :28:48.north west of Scotland later and that will continue into Thursday.

:28:49. > :28:54.The main story tonight. The parents of Ashya King are in a Spanish jail

:28:55. > :28:56.tonight fighting extradition to Britain after they took their
