The parents of five year old Ashya King are

:00:00.:00:08.

in a Spanish jail tonight as they fight extradition to Britain.

:00:09.:00:13.

They were arrested in Malaga after removing their seriously ill

:00:14.:00:17.

son from a hospital in Southampton. Ashya's brother says

:00:18.:00:19.

the family's only concern is for his well being and treatment.

:00:20.:00:26.

I know the only thing my parents are worried about is Ashya King and so I

:00:27.:00:35.

hope he gets released as soon as possible.

:00:36.:00:38.

for his well being and treatment. We'll be asking what next

:00:39.:00:41.

for the parents behind bars and their five year old in hospital.

:00:42.:00:43.

Also tonight: New powers powers to tackle Britons

on how to stop those heading home. The British charity worker infected

Fractions for five year olds, Shakespeare by the age of 14 - it's

all change in England's classrooms as the new school year begins.

:00:58.:01:00.

And the football transfer window prepares to close with a bang -

:01:01.:01:03.

could the spending reach a ?1 billion?

:01:04.:01:10.

On BBC London: The Mayor's hope for an Estuary airport -

:01:11.:01:15.

the BBC understands that it hasn't made a government shortlist.

:01:16.:01:18.

And new CCTV footage is released showing the so-called Plebgate

:01:19.:01:19.

incident in Downing street. Good evening and welcome to the

:01:20.:01:38.

BBC News at Six. A couple who removed their seriously

:01:39.:01:41.

ill son from hospital in Southampton are in a Spanish jail tonight after

:01:42.:01:45.

refusing to return to Britain. A judge in Madrid has ruled that

:01:46.:01:48.

the couple must be held while the court considers whether to grant

:01:49.:01:54.

Britain an extradition request. Five year old Ashya King

:01:55.:01:55.

has brain cancer. His family say they took him

:01:56.:01:58.

to Spain in search of alternative treatment.

:01:59.:02:01.

He's now under police guard in hospital in Malaga.

:02:02.:02:13.

From there Jon Kay reports. Now facing prison, the parents

:02:14.:02:16.

of Ashya King at their extradition hearing in Madrid today.

:02:17.:02:24.

Inside, they refuse to be sent back to Britain so Brett and

:02:25.:02:28.

Naghemeh King will spend up to 72 hours behind bars while authorities

:02:29.:02:30.

decide what to do next. They have not been charged

:02:31.:02:31.

with any offence. Hundreds of miles of way

:02:32.:02:34.

in the south of Spain, their little boy Ashya King is being

:02:35.:02:36.

treated in this Malaga hospital, close to where the family were

:02:37.:02:42.

found by police at the weekend. It is going to be that one or

:02:43.:02:45.

the one on top. This afternoon, I met his older

:02:46.:02:48.

brother Danny trying to visit the five-year-old but he was told

:02:49.:02:51.

that Ashya was under police guard and because of the situation he

:02:52.:02:55.

couldn't be seen by any relatives. He is used to having family

:02:56.:02:58.

around him 24 hours a day. My mum, in the UK, never left his

:02:59.:03:02.

bedside so I honestly don't know what is going through his mind but I

:03:03.:03:06.

know he is really scared and he does not speak or understand Spanish.

:03:07.:03:13.

As soon as we get inside it would be best to help him.

:03:14.:03:15.

23-year-old Danny is now looking after his five other brothers

:03:16.:03:23.

and sisters. He says they couldn't believe it

:03:24.:03:25.

when their parents were arrested because in itself it is not illegal

:03:26.:03:29.

to remove a child from a British hospital.

:03:30.:03:31.

But the courts will have to decide if Ashya King was put at risk.

:03:32.:03:33.

We were shocked. In the beginning we were

:03:34.:03:36.

in disbelief. Really?

:03:37.:03:37.

He had been taken from the hospital onto a ferry and you as a family did

:03:38.:03:46.

not expect any kind of pursuit? We didn't know what was going

:03:47.:03:49.

on until we got here. The family wanted to pay for

:03:50.:03:52.

Ashya King to have private cancer treatment.

:03:53.:03:54.

They had come to Spain to sell a property they owned

:03:55.:03:58.

and wanted to use the money to come to this clinic in the Czech Republic

:03:59.:04:01.

which offers proton beam therapy which isn't currently available

:04:02.:04:02.

on the NHS in the UK. We have a lot of experience treating

:04:03.:04:18.

children. In a few days, it is capable of travelling and

:04:19.:04:18.

everything, he can be treated here. on the NHS in the UK.

:04:19.:04:25.

Back in Malaga, the phone call Danny has been waiting for.

:04:26.:04:27.

Doctors say he can go inside and visit his little brother.

:04:28.:04:30.

The first family member he will have seen since Saturday night.

:04:31.:04:36.

I am told that Ashya King is in this hospital and in a stable condition.

:04:37.:04:44.

Back home, the hospital that was treating him until last Thursday has

:04:45.:04:50.

issued a statement. They say that they regret that communication with

:04:51.:04:57.

the family had broken down and say that his welfare was always their

:04:58.:05:03.

top priority. As far as the proton beam therapy is concerned, they say

:05:04.:05:07.

they have sent patients abroad in some cases but it is not always

:05:08.:05:10.

beneficial. have seen since Saturday night.

:05:11.:05:13.

Our health editor Hugh Pym joins me now.

:05:14.:05:15.

This case will leave people wondering how much control they

:05:16.:05:17.

actually have over their child's medical treatment.

:05:18.:05:20.

Parents do have a wide discretion where it comes to their children.

:05:21.:05:25.

They can say to the hospital they want to take their child outside of

:05:26.:05:30.

that hot at all. However, the hospital has a duty of care to the

:05:31.:05:35.

patient and if they feel the care is compromised, they can pursue a court

:05:36.:05:41.

order even if the parents did not want it. Hospitals can also act in

:05:42.:05:45.

emergencies if they have no clearance from parents or a court.

:05:46.:05:51.

Local authorities often go to a High Court to give the judge complete

:05:52.:05:58.

control over the care of a child. As a separate criminal strand, it is an

:05:59.:06:04.

offence to carry out wilful neglect and that includes failing to carry

:06:05.:06:07.

out adequate care. That sort of case is very rare.

:06:08.:06:12.

their child's medical treatment. Police will be given temporary

:06:13.:06:15.

powers to seize passports at UK borders of Britons they believe are

:06:16.:06:17.

travelling abroad to fight with terror groups.

:06:18.:06:19.

The Prime Minister says airlines will now be legally obliged to

:06:20.:06:22.

hand over passenger lists to help identify Islamist fighters.

:06:23.:06:24.

But he stopped short of announcing a ban on British

:06:25.:06:26.

extremists returning to the country after fighting alongside

:06:27.:06:31.

Islamist groups in Syria and Iraq. Here's our deputy political editor,

:06:32.:06:32.

James Landale. No one knows how many Britons are

:06:33.:06:45.

fighting for Islamic State in Syria and Iraq. Some say it is 500 and

:06:46.:06:49.

others say it is many more. All agree that some will pose a security

:06:50.:06:54.

threat if they return home. David Cameron's security people do not

:06:55.:06:58.

like him walking to Westminster. Only days after the terror threat

:06:59.:07:04.

was raised to severe, the Prime Minister marched down Whitehall to

:07:05.:07:07.

tell MPs that the threat was real and more should be done to confront

:07:08.:07:16.

it. There should not be a knee jerk reaction or an introduction of new

:07:17.:07:19.

powers that would be ultimately ineffective. That would not be what

:07:20.:07:27.

those who safe would want. He announced that the police would have

:07:28.:07:30.

temporary new powers to seize the passports of Britons travelling to

:07:31.:07:37.

fight with Islamic State. Airlines would have to hand over passenger

:07:38.:07:41.

information earlier and the security services would be given powers to

:07:42.:07:45.

relocate terror suspects away from their home towns, power they had in

:07:46.:07:49.

tilt control orders were abolished. It was clear that the coalition

:07:50.:07:57.

party did not agree on plans to stop British writers returning home. We

:07:58.:08:02.

need discretionary power to exclude magician nationals from the UK and

:08:03.:08:06.

we will work out proposals with our agencies and in line with our

:08:07.:08:12.

international obligations. In other words, after days of warning about

:08:13.:08:18.

the threats from British extremists, there is no agreement on how to stop

:08:19.:08:22.

them coming home. They are constrained by law and politics.

:08:23.:08:26.

Labour welcomed most of what was announced but wanted more.

:08:27.:08:31.

Relocation was indeed a central part of control orders and it was a

:08:32.:08:35.

mistake to get rid of them in the first place. Does he also agree that

:08:36.:08:42.

we need a comprehensive programme? Nick Clegg who has warned that new

:08:43.:08:50.

laws should not undermine civil liberties had insisted he has not

:08:51.:08:54.

gone back on what he said. This is not repeating the mistakes that the

:08:55.:09:00.

last Labour government introduced. Seven people absconded from control

:09:01.:09:05.

orders. This is responding to an independent review of the existing

:09:06.:09:13.

legislation. This is tough talk and headline grabbing stuff. We have

:09:14.:09:15.

listened to it for over a decade. It's does not replace charges and

:09:16.:09:23.

prison. The government has said this is not the whole story. The threat

:09:24.:09:30.

from Islamic State will only be as on the ground.

:09:31.:09:38.

James Landale. So, the

:09:39.:09:40.

government is hoping to stem the flow of Britons heading for Iraq and

:09:41.:09:43.

Syria, but will these new measures be enough to dissuade them?

:09:44.:09:45.

Here's our Home Affairs Correspondent June Kelly.

:09:46.:09:46.

For 20 minutes, we spent time in a ditch being bombed. This is what the

:09:47.:09:52.

government is up against in what appears to be atypical propaganda

:09:53.:09:58.

video. A young man, said to be British, urges others to join him on

:09:59.:10:01.

the battlefield of the Middle East. At least 500 Britons have already

:10:02.:10:07.

travelled there. Ministers are trying to stop more from following.

:10:08.:10:14.

These two men have radical views and wants to live in an Islamic State

:10:15.:10:21.

under Sharia Law. Those are dismissive of measures announced

:10:22.:10:25.

today. Many people will be radicalised by these policies and

:10:26.:10:29.

see it as an example of draconian laws. It will not have any impact at

:10:30.:10:34.

all. A few months ago, this video said to be from Islamic State,

:10:35.:10:42.

featured a young British men, including two from Cardiff. Although

:10:43.:10:49.

it has met opposition, the government says it is looking for

:10:50.:10:53.

the possibility of excluding British nationals like these who have chosen

:10:54.:10:57.

to fight from being allowed back into the country. It is a source of

:10:58.:11:02.

disquiet from one of the Cardiff families. I would be seriously

:11:03.:11:11.

worried. Those boys are British-born and the first thing everybody wants

:11:12.:11:18.

is there children back home. As the government strives to stop them from

:11:19.:11:23.

leaving home in the first place, terror suspects facing tougher

:11:24.:11:25.

conditions. They could be forced to move away from home towns. Although

:11:26.:11:28.

there is the question civil liberties, it is an effective tactic

:11:29.:11:35.

to take them away from vulnerable communities as they are dangerous

:11:36.:11:37.

individuals and we cannot have them openly preaching and influencing

:11:38.:11:44.

young people into terrorism. A conflict thousands of miles away has

:11:45.:11:49.

led to the UK terror threat level to be raised and it is now also shaping

:11:50.:11:51.

government policy. Correspondent June Kelly.

:11:52.:11:58.

Let's speak to our Political Editor Nick Robinson.

:11:59.:12:01.

Nick we've heard about measures to stop Britons going out but what

:12:02.:12:03.

about stopping those coming back? That is the curiosity. A few days

:12:04.:12:09.

ago, we were told the threat level had gone to severe, an attack is

:12:10.:12:14.

highly likely. The Prime Minister says it is the most serious crisis

:12:15.:12:19.

we have faced. There are 500 fighters abroad, many who want to

:12:20.:12:22.

come home. Could they be excluded? Could there passports be taken away?

:12:23.:12:27.

Frankly, there was no answer to Dave. Simply the promise of more

:12:28.:12:33.

consideration and more party talks, we will get back to you later. The

:12:34.:12:38.

reason is clear. Simply chucking them out if you like, saying you are

:12:39.:12:46.

not British, even having temporary powers to take away their passports

:12:47.:12:51.

could be illegal. The lawyers cannot agree on that. David Cameron's

:12:52.:12:57.

advisers have said he is simply being careful. Others will say, you

:12:58.:13:03.

told us of the threat but you have given us no answer on how you will

:13:04.:13:04.

deal with it. about stopping those coming back?

:13:05.:13:08.

He's been described as "a hero" by the charity he was with

:13:09.:13:11.

in West Africa. Will Pooley was working with ebola

:13:12.:13:14.

victims in Sierra Leone until he was struck down by the disease himself.

:13:15.:13:17.

He's now still inside an isolation unit in London's

:13:18.:13:20.

Royal Free Hospital and his family have given their first broadcast

:13:21.:13:22.

interview about his condition. They've been speaking to our Health

:13:23.:13:23.

Correspondent Branwen Jeffreys. Will risked his own life in the

:13:24.:13:37.

ebola outbreak. Now this committed nurse is fighting the virus. His

:13:38.:13:42.

parents, Jackie and Robin, have spent ten days at the hospital.

:13:43.:13:46.

Today they told me he is able to begin to get out of bed. He has a

:13:47.:13:54.

little step in there where he can rebuild his strength. That is a good

:13:55.:14:00.

sign, I've think. We talked to him through a telephone link. We can

:14:01.:14:06.

stand and see him through the glass and Polly Dean. He is talking a lot

:14:07.:14:11.

more than he was at the beginning. He is interested in more things.

:14:12.:14:22.

Yes, and his is back. He had a bacon butty. Only a handful of staff can

:14:23.:14:32.

enter the isolation unit. Will is spending his days inside a sealed

:14:33.:14:37.

10th. The are two nurses in the room at all times. You think he is

:14:38.:14:42.

relieved to be here? He is glad to have such good care. He is aware of

:14:43.:14:51.

what he has left behind. At the hospital there are 240 doctors and

:14:52.:14:56.

nurses who have been infected. Half of them have died. The family were

:14:57.:15:04.

at a wedding when Will became ill. The fact that the richest government

:15:05.:15:12.

acted as the insurance policy was fantastic. -- British. All the

:15:13.:15:18.

worst-case scenarios. We were worried he would not get out of the

:15:19.:15:28.

country. There were checkpoints and 160 miles to travel across. You must

:15:29.:15:30.

be glad to have him? Very. Our top story this evening.

:15:31.:15:42.

The parents of Ashya King fight being returned to Britain after

:15:43.:15:45.

taking their son to Spain seeking treatment for his brain tumour.

:15:46.:15:48.

And coming up. Remembering the real life war horses

:15:49.:15:53.

who saw battle in World War One. Later on BBC London.

:15:54.:15:56.

Chip and Pin fraud - we track down one criminal who

:15:57.:16:00.

targets Londoners from Canada. And we have a run down

:16:01.:16:03.

on the players coming and going in our London clubs

:16:04.:16:15.

on transfer deadline day. Now in Scotland and some other parts

:16:16.:16:18.

of the UK, children are already back in their classrooms, but

:16:19.:16:21.

for millions of other children the new school year beckons this week.

:16:22.:16:24.

In England there are big changes this year.

:16:25.:16:30.

Primary schools are to teach fractions to five-year-olds and

:16:31.:16:36.

secondary schools are to teach more Shakespeare. All primary schools

:16:37.:16:39.

will be required to offer free school meals to children in the

:16:40.:16:43.

first three years. And there are changes to the provision for

:16:44.:16:47.

children with special educational needs. Reading practice in

:16:48.:17:01.

Leicester. But the government admit this new curriculum is rigorous and

:17:02.:17:05.

tough. But headteachers think they should have the power to teach

:17:06.:17:09.

children the things that they think pupils should know.

:17:10.:17:15.

I did not have a problem with the old National Curriculum or the new

:17:16.:17:20.

one. The reason I do not is that the schools like this have always done

:17:21.:17:26.

what they think is important. We emphasise certain things in the

:17:27.:17:28.

curriculum and we do certain things that are beyond the National

:17:29.:17:32.

Curriculum. Fibrils will be taught to understand

:17:33.:17:38.

basic fractions like one half or one quarter and will then help

:17:39.:17:41.

algorithms work. I aged nine pupils will be expected to know there are

:17:42.:17:45.

12 times tables and by age 11 they should be able to spell words like

:17:46.:17:50.

accommodate and with them. A tough call a primary school but quite

:17:51.:17:54.

challenging for adults, as we discovered.

:17:55.:18:01.

Can you spell the world accommodate those Mac -- the word.

:18:02.:18:19.

Do you know what an algorithm is? Something mathematical. Ten out of

:18:20.:18:36.

ten! That is 128. 132. Other changes this term include free school meals

:18:37.:18:40.

for infant pupils in England. The plan provoked a fierce row over

:18:41.:18:44.

funding within the coalition of the Liberal Democrats have told BBC News

:18:45.:18:48.

that 90% of schools will be able to provide a hot meal for pupils found

:18:49.:18:53.

this week. And pupils who have special education needs will have

:18:54.:18:56.

more choice about which schools they can go to. Their parents will be

:18:57.:19:00.

given personalised budgets to spend as they wish. Back at Taylor Road

:19:01.:19:06.

they are working hard to meet the new challenges. The government hopes

:19:07.:19:10.

all the changes will raise attainment levels and help schools

:19:11.:19:14.

compete with the best education systems in the world. David Cameron

:19:15.:19:23.

has described the presence of Russian soldiers on Ukrainian cell

:19:24.:19:30.

as completely unacceptable. Pro-Moscow forces continue to make

:19:31.:19:35.

ground on Ukrainian troops in the east of the country. Experts who won

:19:36.:19:45.

decade ago were asked to look into claims of grooming of young girls in

:19:46.:19:48.

Rotherham has spoke of their frustrations that there are warnings

:19:49.:19:51.

were ignored. They told panorama that the findings were not taken

:19:52.:19:56.

seriously. It emerged last week that around 1400 children were sexually

:19:57.:19:58.

exploited in the town. big changes this year.

:19:59.:20:04.

Children were groomed and abused all over Rotherham.

:20:05.:20:09.

Tonight the BBC can reveal that evidence was removed from council

:20:10.:20:18.

offices. One drug worker says city was ignored. Isabel was 14 when she

:20:19.:20:23.

was repeatedly raped. We protected her identity and change to a voice.

:20:24.:20:30.

Legally if you're not 16 then do something about it. No point having

:20:31.:20:34.

a law and not sticking to it. I was a child. But all this abuse could

:20:35.:20:40.

have been prevented. An independent enquiry revealed a report written in

:20:41.:20:44.

2002 detailing the victims and the grooming gangs, was depressed. The

:20:45.:20:52.

report also has spoken to the BBC on condition of anonymity. She believes

:20:53.:20:54.

that key evidence went missing from council offices. They had taken my

:20:55.:21:01.

data. One draw was emptied of my data. The council says it has no

:21:02.:21:07.

evidence of a raid but it would take eight years before these men were

:21:08.:21:10.

prosecuted. The only grooming gangs to be jailed in rather hmmm. There

:21:11.:21:14.

were many missed opportunities to stop the abuse. -- rather hmmm. The

:21:15.:21:20.

council and police refused to believe how big the problem was. Two

:21:21.:21:27.

more reports on Pakistani heritage grooming gangs were shown to the

:21:28.:21:31.

council and police. The author has spoken exclusively to the BBC. Some

:21:32.:21:36.

people felt ethnicity was a barrier to investigating. It was seen to be

:21:37.:21:43.

too sensitive. The council and police both say that vulnerable

:21:44.:21:47.

children are now listen to. Too late for the 1400 exploited here.

:21:48.:21:52.

and abused all over Rotherham. And you can see a full investigation

:21:53.:21:55.

into the child abuse in Rotherham in a special Panorama tonight.

:21:56.:21:58.

Stolen Childhoods - The Grooming Scandal will be shown at 8:30pm

:21:59.:22:04.

on BBC One. It's transfer deadline day today -

when the Premier League usually goes on a spending spree

:22:08.:22:10.

in an attempt to improve their chances of success and silverware.

:22:11.:22:13.

So far in this transfer window clubs have already spent a record

:22:14.:22:16.

?750 million on players. The biggest spenders are

:22:17.:22:19.

Manchester United. Our Sports Correspondent Andy Swiss

:22:20.:22:20.

is at Old Trafford. It has been a shopping spree like no

:22:21.:22:34.

other. From Angela Di Maria to the signing of Radamel Falcao,

:22:35.:22:38.

Manchester United have flung open their cheque book this summer

:22:39.:22:43.

splashing ?150 million to try to revive their fortunes. It has left

:22:44.:22:46.

the Old Trafford decorators with a bit of work. The recent picked

:22:47.:22:50.

already out of date. But for the fans spending their way out of

:22:51.:22:57.

trouble as Goop welcome if costly. It is crazy what people spend these

:22:58.:23:03.

days. Do you think you have value for money? Definitely. But it is not

:23:04.:23:10.

just Manchester United. There has been unprecedented spending across

:23:11.:23:16.

the Premier League. Last summer ?630 million record has been smashed

:23:17.:23:20.

already. By the start of today ?745 million had been spent this summer

:23:21.:23:23.

and a late surge could push the total cluster to be 1 billion mark.

:23:24.:23:29.

How can clubs afford these global stars like Mario Balotelli? A new

:23:30.:23:40.

bumper television deal has left the team any more than the champions

:23:41.:23:44.

used to even the bare bottom of the table. But is this a bubble that is

:23:45.:23:48.

likely to burst? If you look at what is going on with social media, live

:23:49.:23:51.

sport is still the biggest news there is. The public loved like

:23:52.:23:56.

nothing else. As long as there is that glamour then the money will

:23:57.:24:02.

keep on following. Instead of tightening their belts, the top

:24:03.:24:04.

teams are still loosening their wallets. But if it brings them

:24:05.:24:08.

trophies and for some return to the glory days, this summer of

:24:09.:24:11.

extraordinary spending might yet pay off.

:24:12.:24:16.

Even by footballing standard it has been quite the summer. The transfer

:24:17.:24:20.

window closes at 11 o'clock tonight and after that clubs cannot buy any

:24:21.:24:26.

new players until next year. So for some clubs what they do over the

:24:27.:24:29.

next few hours just might decide their season.

:24:30.:24:33.

is at Old Trafford. Their contribution in the

:24:34.:24:36.

First World War was highlighted in the play War Horse

:24:37.:24:38.

and today the animals and men of the British Cavalry Division are

:24:39.:24:41.

being remembered in France. A hundred years ago the men

:24:42.:24:44.

on horseback helped to stop the German advance on Paris.

:24:45.:24:47.

It was also the last time cavalry on horseback took part in a major

:24:48.:24:55.

battle, as Robert Hall reports. Through the narrow streets of Nery,

:24:56.:24:58.

the clatter of hooves and the rumble of gun carriages, turning the clock

:24:59.:25:07.

back to a summer morning long ago. During August 1914, German armies

:25:08.:25:12.

were driving south and west. In the months before the stalemate

:25:13.:25:15.

of trench warfare, cavalry units still had a part to play.

:25:16.:25:18.

Scouting ahead and raiding enemy lines.

:25:19.:25:24.

The warhorse ride has retraced the days leading up to

:25:25.:25:27.

the battle at Nery. Dressed and equipped

:25:28.:25:31.

as their predecessors, each rider represented one wartime regiment.

:25:32.:25:37.

On the foggy morning of September the 1st,

:25:38.:25:42.

all hell broke loose in Nery. British cavalry and artillery were

:25:43.:25:47.

under fire from a much larger force. Today part

:25:48.:25:50.

of that story unfolded again on the exact spot where three Victoria

:25:51.:25:57.

crosses were won in under an hour. Captain Edward Bradbury, Battery

:25:58.:26:00.

Sergeant Major George Dorrell and Sergeant David Nelson kept one

:26:01.:26:02.

field gun firing after all the others were destroyed.

:26:03.:26:06.

George Dorrell's grandchildren said though modest,

:26:07.:26:10.

he would have been proud to think he had been remembered.

:26:11.:26:15.

I think if you listen to my grandfather he would have said,

:26:16.:26:20.

I'm trained to do it. And that is what we did.

:26:21.:26:25.

It was really them or us. Gunfire echoing again

:26:26.:26:28.

across the rooftops. The salute to the men

:26:29.:26:31.

and the horses who died whilst holding the line against the odds.

:26:32.:26:42.

Now time for a look at the weather and it is feeling a little bit more

:26:43.:26:50.

summery. For just about all of the UK

:26:51.:26:55.

compared with the past few weeks it is drier and warmer this week. Even

:26:56.:26:58.

in the cloud temperatures easily reaching the heights teens. With a

:26:59.:27:04.

bit of strong September sunshine that will rise well into the

:27:05.:27:11.

mid-20s. The reason is high pressure extending from the mid Atlantic at

:27:12.:27:13.

the moment. These weather fronts have been reducing the rain and

:27:14.:27:18.

drizzle today across parts of England. Still some of that to come

:27:19.:27:25.

but that will largely fade away. For most it is a dry night with clear

:27:26.:27:30.

skies in the West. The odd patch of mist and fog in the countryside. But

:27:31.:27:36.

most major towns and cities around ten, 14 degrees. The weather front

:27:37.:27:41.

which produced the rain today is still in eastern areas tomorrow.

:27:42.:27:46.

Even with the high-pressure really establishing itself. It will be the

:27:47.:27:50.

focus of a lot of mist and globe cloud to start with. Some dense fog

:27:51.:27:56.

patches as well. That will gradually lift. Just some drizzle around

:27:57.:28:01.

through the day that away from that a lot of sunny weather to come. The

:28:02.:28:08.

best of that in parts of central Scotland and the Midlands. The

:28:09.:28:14.

high-pressure pushes toward the east into Wednesday. Picking out the

:28:15.:28:19.

sunny spots is a little bit difficult. To the west of high

:28:20.:28:27.

ground and to the north of high ground in Scotland this is where the

:28:28.:28:32.

sunniest conditions will be. Temperatures well into the 20s for

:28:33.:28:37.

many. Elsewhere are generally dry picture but something went in the

:28:38.:28:41.

north west of Scotland later and that will continue into Thursday.

:28:42.:28:48.

The main story tonight. The parents of Ashya King are in a Spanish jail

:28:49.:28:54.

tonight fighting extradition to Britain after they took their
