:02:33. > :02:40.hardline unionism in Northern Ireland We say NEVER! Never, never.
:02:41. > :02:46.Never. Critics called Ian Paisley, Dr No, the sworn enemy of Irish
:02:47. > :02:50.republicans and a man who refused to compromise his principles. But his
:02:51. > :02:54.life marked one of the most remarkable journeys in modern
:02:55. > :02:57.politics. Eventually, hi led his supporters and his party into
:02:58. > :03:04.Government with Sinn Fein. It was a deal that saw him share power with a
:03:05. > :03:08.former IRA leader. It needed somebody with the history and
:03:09. > :03:11.longstanding respect that Ian Paisley had to point out to people
:03:12. > :03:16.that there was a better way ahead, now that we had reached the
:03:17. > :03:22.circumstances where the IRA were no longer going to be involved in using
:03:23. > :03:27.violence. Ian Richard Kyle Paisley was the son of a baptist are
:03:28. > :03:31.minister and his own passion for preaching and politic was obvious
:03:32. > :03:38.from the start. We declare our intention from this platform that we
:03:39. > :03:44.will organise massive demonstrations... It all made
:03:45. > :03:49.Paisley a brand name. In his image he built his own Protestant Church
:03:50. > :03:52.and his own political party. The DUP gave him electoral strength and
:03:53. > :03:56.controversy followed him to Stormont, Westminster and the
:03:57. > :04:01.European Parliament. Where he famously interrupted a papal visit.
:04:02. > :04:05.Mr Paisley I now exclude you from this To many Catholics House. Leg
:04:06. > :04:11.was a bigot and a bogey man. He flirted with the extremes of
:04:12. > :04:15.loyalism including the shadowy group Ulster Resistance and successive
:04:16. > :04:20.British governments found him a frustrating and fiery figure. He
:04:21. > :04:26.made our life very unpleasant for a while. Personally, if you met him,
:04:27. > :04:33.he was perfectly charming. Yes, 71.12%. Even when the public voted
:04:34. > :04:37.in favour of the Good Friday peace agreement, Paisley continued to say
:04:38. > :04:42.no. Eventually auto deal was agreed that saw the once unthinkable come
:04:43. > :04:46.true. His Democratic Unionist Party entered Government with Sinn Fein.
:04:47. > :04:49.Perhaps, even more shocking, was the new First Minister's friendship with
:04:50. > :04:56.his deputy, Martin McGuinness. It was so good they became known as The
:04:57. > :05:02.Chuckle Brothers. I think we confounded everybody. We who were
:05:03. > :05:06.political opponents for decades. His allegiance to Britain, my allegiance
:05:07. > :05:11.tole Ireland, but had the ability to have a proper and decent working
:05:12. > :05:15.relationship and indeed a friendship which has existed to this very day.
:05:16. > :05:18.It was a relationship that damaged some of Ian Paisley's other
:05:19. > :05:24.friendships, including those in his party and in his church. It defined
:05:25. > :05:28.the legacy of a man who went from protester to peacemaker. I have' had
:05:29. > :05:31.a good innings. I've made good friends. And, I've reconciled a lot
:05:32. > :05:37.of enemies. Let's speak to our political editor,
:05:38. > :05:39.Nick Robinson, who met Dr Paisley Nick, Ian Paisley's political
:05:40. > :05:52.journey was a remarkable one, He was loved and loathed, wasn't he?
:05:53. > :05:56.Is admired and feared. The story of his life, in many ways, was the
:05:57. > :05:59.story of the remarkable transition of Northern Ireland from that
:06:00. > :06:04.bitter, that brutal, that sectarian violence all the way to something
:06:05. > :06:10.approaching normality. Now, I'm sure there are people still watching
:06:11. > :06:16.today that library footage of Dr Paisley who will shiver with anger
:06:17. > :06:20.and fear with that one word "never", never spoken always bell lowed.
:06:21. > :06:23.Others will smile at the so-called Chuckle Brothers as they shared
:06:24. > :06:27.power. The two enemies coming together to share power in Northern
:06:28. > :06:29.Ireland. It made some people believe the transition was simply
:06:30. > :06:34.unbelievable. But part of the explanation I think was this. The
:06:35. > :06:39.great gulf between the public figure and the private man. I once sat next
:06:40. > :06:43.to him on a plane, quite by chance, he was studying scriptures, I tried
:06:44. > :06:49.to get up a conversation, he was so softly spoken, so quiet, I could
:06:50. > :06:52.barely hear a word he said over the engine noise. When he came off the
:06:53. > :06:56.plane another reporter with a different camera confronted him. He
:06:57. > :07:01.bell lowed again his defiance into the lens. He turned round and winked
:07:02. > :07:06.at me. That was what politicians knew, that was what his enemies
:07:07. > :07:12.knew. A man who they had feared, they came to value and many of them
:07:13. > :07:15.saw him as their friend Dr No became Dr Yes. Nick Robinson, thank you
:07:16. > :07:20.very much. Oscar Pistorius,
:07:21. > :07:21.the South African athlete, faces up to 15 years in prison after
:07:22. > :07:25.being found guilty of the culpable homicide - or manslaughter -
:07:26. > :07:28.of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp. The judge said the State had failed
:07:29. > :07:31.to prove that he intended to kill Ms Steenkamp when he fired four
:07:32. > :07:34.shots through a toilet door in The Paralympian was also found
:07:35. > :07:37.guilty of negligently handling a firearm
:07:38. > :07:40.that went off in a restaurant. Our Africa correspondent,
:07:41. > :07:53.Andrew Harding, This trial has run in fits and
:07:54. > :07:58.starts for over five months. Dividing people at home and abroad.
:07:59. > :08:02.Today, Oscar Pistorius and Reeva Steenkamp's family and friends
:08:03. > :08:11.finally got some answers. And, no-one seemed entirely satisfied. Mr
:08:12. > :08:18.Pistorius, please stand It's judgment time up. . A dramatic pause
:08:19. > :08:23.as Oscar Pistorius stands and waits. The unanimous decision of this court
:08:24. > :08:35.is the following. Then Judge Masipa gets to the point, is the athlete a
:08:36. > :08:43.murder? On count one, murder with section 51.1. The accused is found
:08:44. > :08:49.not guilty and is discharged. Instead he is found guilty of
:08:50. > :08:54.culpable homicide. For once, a muted reaction. He had been warned
:08:55. > :08:57.yesterday to expect this lesser verdict, the equivalent of
:08:58. > :09:01.manslaughter. Reeva Steenkamp's family and friends tried to contain
:09:02. > :09:08.their emotions. It's been a long ordeal. From the night the athlete
:09:09. > :09:13.shot Reeva Steenkamp, believing, as the judge now agrees, that an
:09:14. > :09:19.intruder had broken in. Through to Pistorius's own tearful evidence at
:09:20. > :09:30.his murder trial. She wasn't breathing. To the anxious wait
:09:31. > :09:36.yesterday and today from a verdict. His uncle thanked the judge for
:09:37. > :09:41.rejecting the charge of murder. We always knew the facts of the matter.
:09:42. > :09:53.We had never any doubt in Oscar's version. We, as a family, remain
:09:54. > :10:00.deeply affected by the devastating tragedy event. And, it won't bring
:10:01. > :10:06.Reeva back, but our hearts still go out for her family and friends. When
:10:07. > :10:10.it comes to murder then, Oscar Pistorius has been given the benefit
:10:11. > :10:13.of the doubt. Many here consider he's had a lucky escape. As for
:10:14. > :10:17.Reeva Steenkamp's friends and family, they still need to know
:10:18. > :10:23.whether her killer will spend any time in prison. We have to learn to
:10:24. > :10:32.live without Reeva now. The grieving family say they want justice, not
:10:33. > :10:38.revenge. Only people that have gone through this will understand. It's
:10:39. > :10:43.easy for other people to look in and see and listen and have their
:10:44. > :10:51.thoughts, but only once they've gone through it will they know what we
:10:52. > :10:56.feel. Today, Pistorius left court a free man, for now. The judge agreed
:10:57. > :11:00.to extend his bail and rejected the State's claim that he might flee the
:11:01. > :11:07.country. The athlete will be back next month for sentencing. He could
:11:08. > :11:11.still get a prison term. He could. It's a serious case of culpable
:11:12. > :11:15.homicide because of the use of the firearm and that particularly that
:11:16. > :11:19.four shots were fired. So, the judge has a complete discretion. She can
:11:20. > :11:23.impose any kind of sentence. It could even be a non-jail sentence.
:11:24. > :11:28.She needs to send out a strong message to the public. Tonight,
:11:29. > :11:33.Pistorius is back at his uncle's home. Some, in South Africa, have
:11:34. > :11:41.forgiven him, some have not. The possibility of a prison sentence
:11:42. > :11:45.still hangs in the air. Well, after all the horrific details about Reeva
:11:46. > :11:49.Steenkamp's death it's easy to forget 18 months ago it seemed like
:11:50. > :11:54.nothing could stop Oscar Pistorius's extraordinary career. Our chief
:11:55. > :11:59.sports correspondent, Dan Roan now has this assessment. Oscar Pistorius
:12:00. > :12:05.did more than win races, he changed the way the world viewed disability.
:12:06. > :12:11.Long before he became extraordinary, ordinary was all he wanted to be.
:12:12. > :12:15.They may call me the Blade Runner I'm just Oscar. When I was born with
:12:16. > :12:20.missing calf bones my parents faced the difficult decision of getting my
:12:21. > :12:25.legs amputated. Today I can look back and say they definitely made
:12:26. > :12:32.the right decision. Few know Pistorius as well as his long-term
:12:33. > :12:37.training partner here in Pretoria. I can't count how many times he hugged
:12:38. > :12:41.me. I can say Oscar is a gentleman. He is somebody who would stick to
:12:42. > :12:50.his words. He was chasing a dream. A big dream. That dream began when at
:12:51. > :12:55.school when he was given carbon fibre prosthetics and began to run.
:12:56. > :12:58.Here in this stadium in March 2004 when a teenage Pistorius, after two
:12:59. > :13:05.months of training with blades, showed just how good he was. Running
:13:06. > :13:11.the 100 meters in just 11. 51 seconds, a new world record.
:13:12. > :13:17.Confidence was no problem as Pistorius told the BBC in 2007. I
:13:18. > :13:22.put in my more hours, I eat better, sleep better, race better. Overall I
:13:23. > :13:28.think I'm more diligent. I train better than the other guys.
:13:29. > :13:34.COMMENTATOR: Oscar Pistorius is flying away. Paralympic golds
:13:35. > :13:38.followed in Athens and Beijing. By now, Pistorius had become a brand.
:13:39. > :13:46.They told me that I'd never walk. The man with no legs can't run.
:13:47. > :13:49.Anything else you want to tell me! In 2012 Pistorius made history. The
:13:50. > :13:56.first amputee to run at the Olympics. There was controversy in
:13:57. > :14:00.London too. Arnu Fourie, who was a roommate with Oscar Pistorius, told
:14:01. > :14:04.me had he to move out of their room because Oscar had gone hysterical on
:14:05. > :14:07.the phone, shouting and screaming on the phone. The story was confirmed
:14:08. > :14:11.by other athletes who said it was terrible to witness. This incredible
:14:12. > :14:14.meltdown. Fourie later said he left the room on medical advice before a
:14:15. > :14:20.big race. There was a growing sense that fame and fortune had gone to
:14:21. > :14:24.his team-mate's head. At Pretoria University, where Pistorius based
:14:25. > :14:31.his training, a new generation of Paralympic hopefuls remain loyal. He
:14:32. > :14:36.is still an inspiration for me, even though his circumstances. As I lost
:14:37. > :14:41.my leg I saw him doing so well without two legs, and he was a role
:14:42. > :14:47.model of mine. Is with Pistorius being sentenced next month, his
:14:48. > :14:51.future remains unclear. In terms of Paralympics, Oscar was the first
:14:52. > :14:55.global star, now life for him will be incredibly different. People are
:14:56. > :15:00.already talking about, can he return to athletics? Well, I think Rio is
:15:01. > :15:03.virtually impossible. There is how he feels psychologically and how
:15:04. > :15:07.people will treat him around the world. Pistorius will now be defined
:15:08. > :15:11.by tragic events away from the track. Whatever his punish am, one
:15:12. > :15:18.of sports most dramatic falls from grace is complete. Dan Roan, BBC
:15:19. > :15:25.News, Pretoria. -- punishments. This trial has been about so many things,
:15:26. > :15:29.a celebrity murder a fallen I con for South Africa, the rare
:15:30. > :15:33.experience of seeing a black woman judging a powerful white man. It's
:15:34. > :15:35.been about one moment of confusion and madness and the death of a young
:15:36. > :15:50.woman. Fiona. Andrew, thank you. Our top story. The unionist leader,
:15:51. > :15:54.Ian Paisley, has died. He was 88. Coming up. Join me at Twickenham,
:15:55. > :16:01.where these fans are attempting a world record and tickets for next
:16:02. > :16:06.year's World Cup have gone on sale. On BBC London - the death of a nurse
:16:07. > :16:11.caring for the Duchess of Cambridge at a central London Hospital. A
:16:12. > :16:13.coroner says it was suicide and we'll be live at the Olympic Park
:16:14. > :16:24.for day two of the Invictus Games. It's been another day
:16:25. > :16:26.of intense campaigning in Scotland, ahead of next Thursday's referendum
:16:27. > :16:28.on independence. Today saw Yes campaign leaders
:16:29. > :16:30.visiting seven Scottish cities and the No campaign preparing
:16:31. > :16:33.for a major Labour rally tonight which will see Ed Miliband
:16:34. > :16:35.and the former Prime Minister, Yes, this time next week we will
:16:36. > :16:44.almost certainly know whether or not Scotland will become
:16:45. > :16:46.an independent country. A new poll today points to
:16:47. > :16:52.a knife-edge result with the No campaign on 51%
:16:53. > :16:59.and the Yes campaign on 49%. Well, Scotland's first minister,
:17:00. > :17:02.Alex Salmond, says he is more confident than ever that the people
:17:03. > :17:04.of Scotland will vote Yes. But the No campaign is fighting all
:17:05. > :17:16.the way, as Lorna Gordon reports. Taking to the air, Alex Salmond and
:17:17. > :17:21.others on his team, visiting all of Scotland's seven cities to push the
:17:22. > :17:24.Yes message across the country. Thanks, John. The No campaign were
:17:25. > :17:28.also out in force. In less than a week's time, we should know which
:17:29. > :17:32.way Scots are voting. Polling suggests that at the moment the
:17:33. > :17:38.result is too close to call. Both sides know it and are working hard
:17:39. > :17:41.to secure their vote. We are a few days away from the people of
:17:42. > :17:44.Scotland taking control of the future of our own country. The
:17:45. > :17:47.Westminster establishment doesn't want that to happen so they'll throw
:17:48. > :17:51.everything they can. But you know what, I don't think it'll work.
:17:52. > :17:54.Those campaigning for the union, argued again today, that prices
:17:55. > :18:00.could rise if people opt for independence. It is a claim they
:18:01. > :18:04.believe resonates with voters. We're expected to take a risk on
:18:05. > :18:08.supermarket prices. We have been warned that may be a consequence of
:18:09. > :18:12.us becoming an independent country. The fact of the matter - it is not
:18:13. > :18:20.necessary. Some businesses see risk with independence. Others say the
:18:21. > :18:26.risks are being hyped up. So, who do savvy Scottish shoppers believe? It
:18:27. > :18:31.is embarrassing. All scare tactics, nobody is listening to it. I don't
:18:32. > :18:35.have any doubt that prices are going to change. A lot of things will, we
:18:36. > :18:40.don't know what. For me that's the uncertainty of it all. Some postal
:18:41. > :18:43.votes have already been cast but there are plenty of people who are
:18:44. > :18:48.still undecided and new opinions are now being added into the mix. This
:18:49. > :18:53.evening, Nigel Farage is wading in by giving a speech here in Glasgow.
:18:54. > :18:56.It's not at all clear what affect his intervention will have, if any,
:18:57. > :19:00.but he is not a politician that's known for holding back and he is
:19:01. > :19:04.unlikely to get a warm welcome from some. This is not an independence
:19:05. > :19:07.referendum. Salmond says it is, Better Together says it is, it is
:19:08. > :19:12.not. This referendum is about separation from England and signing
:19:13. > :19:16.up to be a full member of the EU state. Those campaigning for
:19:17. > :19:22.independence remain focussed on their message, heading into this
:19:23. > :19:25.final weekend. I'm pleased about the polls, obviously but I'm much more
:19:26. > :19:27.pleased about this grassroots campaign, surging across the
:19:28. > :19:33.southern cities of Scotland today, which I believe will carry Scotland
:19:34. > :19:38.to victory next Thursday. Heading rhetoric from both sides, but still
:19:39. > :19:42.time for a little humour amongst the voters, as the time to make a
:19:43. > :19:52.decision on Scotland's future draws closer.
:19:53. > :19:54.Well, the debate here about independence has prompted
:19:55. > :19:57.other parts of the UK to question whether they should have more
:19:58. > :19:59.Today, the Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg,
:20:00. > :20:02.called for more powers for England's cities - cities like Manchester.
:20:03. > :20:04.From there, our correspondent, Mike Sergeant, sent this report.
:20:05. > :20:06.City regions, like Greater Manchester,
:20:07. > :20:11.They're watching events in Scotland and asking - what about us?
:20:12. > :20:14.Nathan Cornish, a regional developer, thinks
:20:15. > :20:19.the opportunity for devolution in England should be seized.
:20:20. > :20:22.Manchester and the north-west is crying out for it.
:20:23. > :20:25.I think they have the politicians here capable of making decisions.
:20:26. > :20:28.It seems crazy that often big, important decisions are made 200
:20:29. > :20:32.I think the region is crying out for more power.
:20:33. > :20:35.One plan published today is for a ten-year process of transferring
:20:36. > :20:38.powers, over things like housing, welfare and transport.
:20:39. > :20:42.Combined authorities like Greater Manchester could be given full
:20:43. > :20:45.control of council tax, property taxes and business rates might also
:20:46. > :20:53.be devolved and perhaps, in time, even a share of income tax.
:20:54. > :20:59.Ideas welcomed by Nick Clegg in Sheffield. If we are devolving more
:21:00. > :21:02.power, as we should to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland within
:21:03. > :21:04.the UK, surely great cities like this should have more power to stand
:21:05. > :21:12.on their own two feet as well. This clothing business has been
:21:13. > :21:14.operating in Manchester for almost 100 years,
:21:15. > :21:16.and some of the staff instinctively I mean,
:21:17. > :21:20.they always talk about London, But the boss says new layers of
:21:21. > :21:24.government aren't always welcome. If it was very, very small
:21:25. > :21:26.and very controlled, yes. If it creates a lot of expense,
:21:27. > :21:29.then, no. You don't want extra powers

:21:33. > :21:37.to the already exhaustive costs we have loaded to a small factory
:21:38. > :21:40.like this. Since the Second World War,
:21:41. > :21:42.responsibilities for local government here in Manchester
:21:43. > :21:44.and elsewhere have been squeezed. The dominant story has been one
:21:45. > :21:47.of centralisation. And repeated attempts to push
:21:48. > :21:51.control out to regional assemblies or elected mayors have failed,
:21:52. > :21:57.often rejected by the very people they were designed to empower,
:21:58. > :22:00.the residents themselves. The leaders of England's big cities
:22:01. > :22:02.joined forces Both Government and Opposition say
:22:03. > :22:08.they are listening but for so many years, power has been hoarded
:22:09. > :22:11.in Westminster and Whitehall. The promise of English devolution,
:22:12. > :22:19.as yet, unfulfilled. Our Scotland Political Editor,
:22:20. > :22:27.Brian Taylor, is with me here. The campaigning is reaching fever
:22:28. > :22:31.pitch. Still quite a few people who remain undecided. But the stakes are
:22:32. > :22:36.so high? The stakes are enormous. The Chancellor, George Osborne was
:22:37. > :22:39.due to attend a G20 summit in Australia the weekend after polling
:22:40. > :22:44.on the Thursday. He has cancelled that visit that allows him to stay
:22:45. > :22:50.in the UK to urge No vote and to cope with the aftermath if the vote
:22:51. > :22:53.is Yes. The No camp is saying there is a genuine economic threat to
:22:54. > :22:58.Scotland and people should reject independence. The Yes camp say it is
:22:59. > :23:02.scaremongering a inScots should have the courage to vote Yes.
:23:03. > :23:07.-- and the Scots. That's all for now. I will have more at 10.00pm.
:23:08. > :23:12.Back to the studio. 60 dogs have been killed
:23:13. > :23:16.in a fire that swept through a dogs' A 15-year-old boy has been
:23:17. > :23:20.detained on suspicion of arson. The charity that runs the home says
:23:21. > :23:23.it has been overwhelmed with the Nearly ?1 million has been pledged
:23:24. > :23:31.online and dog food Looking out from her new kennel, Eva
:23:32. > :23:37.has had a lucky escape. Last night she was pulled out of the Manchester
:23:38. > :23:42.Dogs Home as fire raged through T Eva was one of 150 animals to be
:23:43. > :23:46.saved as the flames took hold and local people joined with kennel
:23:47. > :23:50.staff and firefighters. We saw a big bellow of smoke at the bottom of the
:23:51. > :23:54.street. Daniel and Jason were two of those who helped with the rescue.
:23:55. > :23:59.The building was on fire at the side. We were running past, windows
:24:00. > :24:05.were popping. You obviously knew the dogs were in there. What was your
:24:06. > :24:08.first thought? ? Get them out. We could hear them screaming. It was
:24:09. > :24:14.quick reaction, straight down, in, get them out, one at a time. The
:24:15. > :24:18.alarm was raised quickly but the fire was so fierce that more than
:24:19. > :24:21.one-quarters of the dogs housed here died in the blaze. The building has
:24:22. > :24:26.been declared so unsafe that it is currently not possible to find out
:24:27. > :24:31.exactly how many perished. Kennel staff hasn't made it into the burned
:24:32. > :24:35.building yet. The fire people have. Whether there is additional bodies
:24:36. > :24:39.at the moment, we don't know. As far as we are concerned one was far too
:24:40. > :24:43.many to be lost in the fire, let alone the number that we are facing.
:24:44. > :24:47.A teenager has been arrested and the police are treating the fire as
:24:48. > :24:52.arson. REPORTER: Can you give us an idea of how extensive the damage is?
:24:53. > :24:57.It is a complex of different buildings, and one of the large
:24:58. > :25:02.kennel buildings has been virtually completely destroyed. Most of the
:25:03. > :25:05.dogs rescued last night have been brought to these kennels in
:25:06. > :25:10.Cheshire. Many were suffering from the affects of breathing in smoke
:25:11. > :25:18.and others were showing such signs of stress, they had to be sedated.
:25:19. > :25:22.Founded in 1893, the Dogs Home is a well-loved Manchester institution.
:25:23. > :25:28.People have rushed to help, donating ?1 million in 24 hours and bringing
:25:29. > :25:38.piles of blankets, beds and dog food for Eva and the other surviving
:25:39. > :25:43.animals. Organisers for the 2015 World Cup have defended the high
:25:44. > :25:50.price of some of the tickets that went on sale today. Our sports
:25:51. > :25:59.correspondent Natalie Picks reports -- Pirks reports.
:26:00. > :26:03.Fans excited today to be among the famous faces, the in the record for
:26:04. > :26:07.the world's largest skru. Excitement is now building one for the largest
:26:08. > :26:12.events to be held on these shores. I will miss competing and running out
:26:13. > :26:17.but goodness me, what I would give to be part of that Rugby World Cup
:26:18. > :26:21.team, it would be phenomenal. The scrum for tickets has only just
:26:22. > :26:26.begun. If you want it watch Wales take on England, the ballot is open
:26:27. > :26:34.and although organisers say they have done their best to keep prices
:26:35. > :26:39.down, prices vary. You can pick up a child's ticket for ?7 and an adult
:26:40. > :26:44.for ?15 and if you are a Scotland fan, some matches are on sale for
:26:45. > :26:48.?20. England fans are not so lucky. If you want to watch them here at
:26:49. > :26:52.Twickenham, it'll cost a minimum of ?75 and that's if you are lucky
:26:53. > :26:57.enough to get them through the official ballot. Sites like this
:26:58. > :27:01.selling tickets for bay over face value were illegal during the
:27:02. > :27:05.Olympics but the Government didn't extend that courtesy to the Rugby
:27:06. > :27:09.World Cup. If you want to ensure the ticket is genuine, buy it through
:27:10. > :27:13.us. That's the only way to be assured what you are getting will
:27:14. > :27:17.turn up. New Zealand won the last World Cup in their own back yard.
:27:18. > :27:20.How England fans would love to see those scenes emanated, if they can
:27:21. > :27:25.get their hands on ticket, of course.
:27:26. > :27:33.Now let's take a look at the weather with John Hammond.
:27:34. > :27:36.A quiet weekend coming up. Up in space it is all happening. We have a
:27:37. > :27:40.period of high solar activity which means there is a greater than normal
:27:41. > :27:45.chance of seeing the Northern Lights. This picture was taken a few
:27:46. > :27:48.weeks ago in the north of Scotland. You know what, if the skies remain
:27:49. > :27:52.clear overnight, there is a greater than average chance you might see
:27:53. > :27:57.the Northern Lights across northern parts of the UK, if the skies remain
:27:58. > :28:01.clear. So take peak out of the window. Look to the north and you
:28:02. > :28:06.might get a pleasant surprise. For the rest, a quiet night. Patchy
:28:07. > :28:10.cloud. Areas of fog developing, particularly across more northern
:28:11. > :28:14.parts. Nobody immune to a patch of fog in the rural areas, where there
:28:15. > :28:18.are the lowest temperatures, particularly if it stays clear in
:28:19. > :28:22.Northern Ireland and Scotland. No as cold further south. A murky start to
:28:23. > :28:26.the day tomorrow. Fog and mist around which should lift and the
:28:27. > :28:30.cloud should break and most of us look forward to sunshine. A nice day
:28:31. > :28:35.for the middle of September. Like today, temperatures will respond
:28:36. > :28:40.nicely. We got up to 24. We won't be far off in some places for tomorrow.
:28:41. > :28:44.Winds light. The big picture through the weekend, a freshening easterly
:28:45. > :28:48.wind. High pressure is still in control. That means most of us will
:28:49. > :28:52.stay dry. Not ruling out the odd spot of drizzle and the odd light
:28:53. > :28:57.shower across eastern areas on Sunday. The vast majority will stay
:28:58. > :29:01.fine and it'll feel pleasant in the sunshine. Mostly dry, some sunshine,
:29:02. > :29:04.but it'll be turning quite breezy. Thank you very much. That's it.
