:01:38. > :01:40.Good evening, and welcome to the BBC News at Six.

:01:41. > :01:42.The Chancellor George Osborne has set out a key battleground

:01:43. > :01:44.for the next election, pledging that a future Conservative

:01:45. > :01:47.government would freeze all benefits for two years, except those

:01:48. > :01:49.for the disabled, pensioners and women on maternity leave.

:01:50. > :01:54.He claimed it would save ?3 billion a year.

:01:55. > :01:58.He also warned of more cuts ahead as part of a programme to reduce

:01:59. > :02:06.government spending by a total of ?25 billion by 2018.

:02:07. > :02:09.Our Political Editor Nick Robinson was listening to the Chancellor's

:02:10. > :02:16.speech at the the Tory Party conference in Birmingham.

:02:17. > :02:22.The economy's growing again, and an election is getting close. Time you

:02:23. > :02:27.might think for the Chancellor to promise you a give away. Well if you

:02:28. > :02:33.do this that, you couldn't be more wrong. Is this almost... It is know

:02:34. > :02:37.where near done with George Osborne's message in Birmingham. He

:02:38. > :02:41.told the Tory conference that the deficit was still nowhere near being

:02:42. > :02:46.eliminated and so spending cuts were nowhere near over. He claimed that

:02:47. > :02:54.unlike Labour, he would level with people. Here are the facts. The

:02:55. > :03:00.latest Treasury estimate is that to eliminate the deficit, requires a

:03:01. > :03:03.further ?25 billion of permanent public expenditure savings, or new

:03:04. > :03:10.taxes. With tax rises off the Tory agenda,

:03:11. > :03:15.all that 25 billion has to come, from spending cuts. Almost half of

:03:16. > :03:19.it from cutting benefits. Working age benefits in Britain will have to

:03:20. > :03:25.be frozen for two years. This is the choice Britain needs to take, to

:03:26. > :03:29.protect our economic stability and to secure a better future. The

:03:30. > :03:33.fairest way to reduce Welfare Bills is to make sure that the bet fins

:03:34. > :03:37.are not rising faster than the wages of the taxpayers who are paying for

:03:38. > :03:44.them. The Tory plan to freeze benefits

:03:45. > :03:47.from 2016 would affect those out of work claiming Job Seekers Allowance

:03:48. > :03:51.but also those in work entitled to tax credits. Five million people and

:03:52. > :03:56.ten million households in all. It would not affect those on pension,

:03:57. > :03:59.ESA, if you can't work, and maternity pay.

:04:00. > :04:03.Just down the road from the Conference, is a charity that sells

:04:04. > :04:07.cheap second-hand furniture to people struggling to affect it. Many

:04:08. > :04:11.of them not out of work, but in badly paid jobs. I spoke to two

:04:12. > :04:16.volunteers here, Martin and Sue about how a freeze might affect

:04:17. > :04:21.them. If your benefits were frozen, so you get if same amount as now,

:04:22. > :04:26.but it doesn't go up with inplating, would that be a big problem? Yes,

:04:27. > :04:31.because the prices will rocket, but my money is not going to rocket. It

:04:32. > :04:36.should raise, raise up with the inflation, because at the end of the

:04:37. > :04:41.day, I struggle to pay all my bills and try and pay them off and have

:04:42. > :04:45.something left for food. In recent years benefits have risen faster

:04:46. > :04:50.than wages which is why the Tories believe it is fair and popular If it

:04:51. > :04:54.is going to get the deficit down it seems like a reasonable starting

:04:55. > :04:57.point. From what I understand he is making allowances for pensioners and

:04:58. > :05:00.those in need. It should be stricter. Definitely. There is a lot

:05:01. > :05:04.people that have been able to get away with it for a long time. I

:05:05. > :05:08.would rather they went off the big companies and their tax than go

:05:09. > :05:11.after people who are already poor. Funnily enough back at the Tory

:05:12. > :05:16.conference getting business to pay more of the tax they owe was the

:05:17. > :05:21.other half of the Osbourne announcement twin pack. And some

:05:22. > :05:25.technology companies go to extraordinary lengths to pay little

:05:26. > :05:30.or no tax here. If you abuse our tax system, you abuse the trust of the

:05:31. > :05:35.British people, and my message to these companies is clear. We will

:05:36. > :05:39.put a stop to it, low taxes but low taxes that are paid. He didn't say

:05:40. > :05:46.which company he was targeting but one part of the answer is Google.

:05:47. > :05:52.Who like Apple have channelled business and profits through low tax

:05:53. > :05:59.island. Alongside the promise of pain the Chancellor stressed there

:06:00. > :06:06.would be gain, promising to scrap tax on inherented tax anded by more

:06:07. > :06:09.houses if he is re-elected Choose fairness, choose freedom. Choose

:06:10. > :06:13.David Cameron, choose the Conservatives. Choose the future.

:06:14. > :06:19.The Tories here are taking quite a gamble. That beyond this haul the

:06:20. > :06:23.public will choose what they are now offering. Cutting benefits sounds

:06:24. > :06:30.tough but the political we question is whether it is fair. That may

:06:31. > :06:33.depend on whether you assume people are claiming are strongers or are

:06:34. > :06:37.people who are struggling to make ends meet. Often in work on very low

:06:38. > :06:43.wages. Well, as we've just heard,

:06:44. > :06:45.the Chancellor's pledge to freeze some working benefits

:06:46. > :06:47.if the Conservatives win the next election still leaves him

:06:48. > :06:50.with ?25 billion worth of savings to Our Economics Editor Robert Peston

:06:51. > :07:01.has been looking at the figures. We are spending money again, the

:07:02. > :07:07.economy is recovering strongly, and the big question, as we approach the

:07:08. > :07:11.general election is what will secure that recovery, for the long-term?

:07:12. > :07:15.For George Osborne it is all ant eliminating the gap between what the

:07:16. > :07:22.Government takes from taxes and spends on public services. The

:07:23. > :07:27.deficit. That was a record 11.3% of GDP in 2009-10 after the crash, and

:07:28. > :07:32.when he became Chancellor. Mr Osborne's spending cuts and tax

:07:33. > :07:35.rises since then should cut it to 5.5% of national income, by the time

:07:36. > :07:41.of the next general election in 2015. But that means Government debt

:07:42. > :07:45.would still have risen bay massive 95.5 billion this year and maybe

:07:46. > :07:52.more than that. His goal, to the next Parliament is to shrink the

:07:53. > :07:57.deficit to zero, generate a surplus. To hit this target of a surplus in

:07:58. > :08:02.four years there would have to be ?25 billion of spending cuts in just

:08:03. > :08:06.the first two years of the next Parliament, with ?13 billion saved

:08:07. > :08:13.by shrinking the budget of Whitehall departments and ?12 billion from

:08:14. > :08:16.reducing welfare spending. Today, Mr Osborne announced that ?3.2 billion

:08:17. > :08:22.of those savings would come from freezing benefits for two years. But

:08:23. > :08:25.he promised that pencions would not be frozen, even though some say

:08:26. > :08:32.pensioners have had a good deal, with the bill for pensions

:08:33. > :08:38.increasing 11% since 2010. If there were a two-year freeze on payments

:08:39. > :08:42.to pensioner, that would raise a useful ?5 billion.

:08:43. > :08:46.The bad news is that we are probably not even half way through the total

:08:47. > :08:50.spending cuts planned through this Parliament and next. It is looking

:08:51. > :08:54.tougher over the next Parliament but not only are we going to be cutting

:08:55. > :08:57.or is the Government looking to cut as fast next Parliament as this

:08:58. > :09:02.Parliament, obviously the easier cuts are gone, it is going to look

:09:03. > :09:06.difficult to keep on at that rate of reducing public spending. Now, a

:09:07. > :09:10.Labour Government would cut almost 30 billion less in the next

:09:11. > :09:14.Parliament than the Tories because it is not aiming for an overall

:09:15. > :09:18.surplus but would only balance the budget excluding investment. So,

:09:19. > :09:21.there is now a sharp economic divide between the Tories and Labour,

:09:22. > :09:30.probably the widest for more than 20 years.

:09:31. > :09:34.Let us talk to Nick Robinson. As we heard there, the Conservatives still

:09:35. > :09:37.have a way to go in terms of reducing the deficit with the

:09:38. > :09:40.Chancellor careful to set out a difference between the Conservatives

:09:41. > :09:44.and Labour when it comes to how they do it. You know what, if anybody

:09:45. > :09:49.decide to write one of those books that you can buy in the shop, how to

:09:50. > :09:54.win an election made simple, I have a hunch they won't write a chapter

:09:55. > :09:57.that suggests just before an election you should tell five

:09:58. > :10:02.million people we are going to cut the value of what the Government

:10:03. > :10:06.gives you. Now why on earth is George Osborne doing it? I think his

:10:07. > :10:09.calculation is simple. He will get credit for telling light it is. For

:10:10. > :10:13.levelling with the British people, for spelling out some of the bad

:10:14. > :10:16.choices that might lie on the other side of an election. He is doing

:10:17. > :10:20.something else. He is trying to flush the Labour Party out, force

:10:21. > :10:24.them to either say we don't need to make cuts at all because as Robert

:10:25. > :10:29.said, Labour believe you don't need to cut spending so fast, you don't

:10:30. > :10:33.need to cut borrowing so fast, because you can still make the

:10:34. > :10:37.changes they want, and cut the deficit. So George Osborne wants to

:10:38. > :10:41.flush them out on either not making the cuts at all or to force them to

:10:42. > :10:46.spell out other cuts they would make instead. That is the gamble he is

:10:47. > :10:49.taking and one other too, the gamble that people will judge this to be

:10:50. > :10:50.fair. Tens of thousands of pro-democracy

:10:51. > :10:52.protestors are still occupying The police withdrew

:10:53. > :10:56.after pepper spray and tear gas The protesters are angry at China's

:10:57. > :11:00.plans to vet candidates for Hong They want a free choice

:11:01. > :11:04.of candidates for the post of chief executive,

:11:05. > :11:06.which Beijing has ruled out. From Hong Kong, our China Editor

:11:07. > :11:28.Carrie Gracie sent this report. The financial system did not

:11:29. > :11:34.collapse. And there was no chaos. So much for the dire warnings from the

:11:35. > :11:38.Hong Kong Government and Beijing. There were no buses but no-one wants

:11:39. > :11:43.to leave any way. After last night's tear gas, they passed their time

:11:44. > :11:49.preparing remedies, but the riot police never showed.

:11:50. > :11:56.All ages and background, even one billionaire. If we can't be touched

:11:57. > :12:03.by the young kids, we are not human beings. These kids are wonderful.

:12:04. > :12:07.They have done a great job. But there are voices warning that

:12:08. > :12:11.the protest is illegal, and dangerous.

:12:12. > :12:16.We are part of China. We need to work within the framework opof our

:12:17. > :12:22.constitution. There is no point in stirring up confrontation between

:12:23. > :12:31.our motherland and ourselves. As night fell, the crowd swelled.

:12:32. > :12:35.Sending Beijing a message, that they're a pose colonial generation

:12:36. > :12:41.who won't put up with exchanging one set of masters for another. So they

:12:42. > :12:46.want rid of a leader answerable to Beijing and free elections for a new

:12:47. > :12:51.one answerable to Hong Kong instead I am optimistic. I hope we can give

:12:52. > :12:57.more pressure and get back our suffrage. This Wednesday, the first

:12:58. > :13:01.of October, is the most important date in China's political calendar.

:13:02. > :13:05.It's the anniversary of the Communist revolution. Already the

:13:06. > :13:12.celebratory fireworks have been cancelled here, and now Beijing has

:13:13. > :13:17.to look at this instead. 1.3 billion Chinese citizens must

:13:18. > :13:21.not be allowed to look though. On the mainland there is tight sensor

:13:22. > :13:26.ship of these extraordinary scenes and the longer Hong Kong's defiance

:13:27. > :13:27.goes on, the more humiliating and dangerous it feels to China's

:13:28. > :13:36.leadership. The Conservative MP Mark Pritchard

:13:37. > :13:38.says he will complain to the new press regulator

:13:39. > :13:41.after a Sunday Mirror reporter posed as a young female party activist

:13:42. > :13:44.and approached him and a number Government minister Brooks Newmark

:13:45. > :13:47.resigned after he responded to the reporter with

:13:48. > :13:49.an explicit picture of himself. The Sunday Mirror insists the

:13:50. > :13:52.story was in the public interest. Our correspondent David

:13:53. > :14:05.Sillito has the details. Confused, shocked, exploited. The

:14:06. > :14:09.feelings of this woman, a Swedish model whose photos were used without

:14:10. > :14:12.permission in a newspaper sting that has brought down a British

:14:13. > :14:16.Government minister. Brooks Newmark thought he was

:14:17. > :14:20.sending an explicit photo to a young female Conservative Party worker he

:14:21. > :14:24.met on line. He wasn't. The photos had been lifted, it was a fake

:14:25. > :14:30.account run by a male journalist and he wasn't the only Tory MP he had

:14:31. > :14:33.tried to lure. The real issue is about subterfuge, the trickery, when

:14:34. > :14:38.does a newspaper, when do journalists have the right to use

:14:39. > :14:42.that kind of trickery? The defence from the Sunday Mirror.

:14:43. > :14:50.Brooks Newmark was part of women to win. It its role... Trying to bring

:14:51. > :14:55.in more women into Parliament. If you have the minister stof civic

:14:56. > :14:58.society, charged with getting more women into politics but who seems to

:14:59. > :15:02.be interested in getting them in his bed there is a huge public interest.

:15:03. > :15:06.There is where the complaint will be handled. It housed the old

:15:07. > :15:10.discredited Press Complaints Commission, today there is a new

:15:11. > :15:15.name on the door plate. It has more powers than the Press

:15:16. > :15:18.Complaints Commission. It can levy fine, carry out investigations but

:15:19. > :15:24.the heart of this is did we need to know this? Is it in the public

:15:25. > :15:28.interest? I think it is clear this was a fishing expedition, the use of

:15:29. > :15:31.subterfuge was not justified by the public interest, and the newspaper

:15:32. > :15:36.needs to be held to account for what it has done.

:15:37. > :15:41.Brooks Newmark admits he was a full fool and blames no-one but himself

:15:42. > :15:46.but a new Watchdog with much to prove has its first big test of how

:15:47. > :15:48.far our newspapers are allowed to go.

:15:49. > :15:54.The chancellor has told the Conservative Party Conference

:15:55. > :15:58.he wants to save ?3 billion from the welfare bill to help reduce

:15:59. > :16:05.How poking fun at performers could become easier

:16:06. > :16:17.Why schools are looking to business for help in teaching computing.

:16:18. > :16:20.And the Olympic transformation of East London's waterways.

:16:21. > :16:31.We look at the environmental legacy of the 2012 games.

:16:32. > :16:34.Iraqi ground forces, backed by air strikes, appear to have halted the

:16:35. > :16:41.Senior Iraqi officials told the BBC they had reached within five miles

:16:42. > :16:44.The jihadi extremists currently control large swathes of Anbar

:16:45. > :16:46.province, including, crucially, the city of Falluja which they

:16:47. > :16:54.captured at the beginning of the year and which is close to Baghdad.

:16:55. > :16:57.From there the jihadis have been able to launch

:16:58. > :17:00.a series of attacks to the north and west of the Iraqi capital.

:17:01. > :17:03.The latest fighting was along the road between Falluja and

:17:04. > :17:05.Our chief international correspondent Lyse Doucet's

:17:06. > :17:18.report contains some testimony you may find distressing.

:17:19. > :17:27.Heading into the last defences between Baghdad and so-called

:17:28. > :17:33.Islamic State fighters. In recent weeks, the IS attack the root on the

:17:34. > :17:38.western edge of the capital. We are travelling with two powerful shakes.

:17:39. > :17:46.Their task is to rally the tribes and stop the enemy at the Gates of

:17:47. > :17:49.Baghdad. There have been heavy battles right here, he tells me, our

:17:50. > :17:54.brothers were here, pointing to the government. Don't be fooled by their

:17:55. > :18:00.relaxed pose. The front line lies along that horizon. Beyond that,

:18:01. > :18:08.just 16 miles away, IS is in charge. And there were intense clashes. You

:18:09. > :18:16.can feel the tension here. This is the border between us and our yes.

:18:17. > :18:20.-- IDS. They threaten the Baghdad protective belt and we need support

:18:21. > :18:27.from the US and Britain -- between us and IDS. The fighters of the

:18:28. > :18:30.so-called Islamic State move across northern Iraq in June and took the

:18:31. > :18:34.second city of Mosul, and it set off alarm bells in many capitals,

:18:35. > :18:38.including Baghdad, with fear that they could also move in here. And

:18:39. > :18:43.now, after more than six weeks of air strikes, the people of Baghdad

:18:44. > :18:51.still feel threatened. And you can see why. Islamic State fighters are

:18:52. > :18:56.about five miles away. Iraqi soldiers like this young man on the

:18:57. > :19:02.front lines lines near Baghdad. He survived a massacre. Out of 500

:19:03. > :19:08.troops, only 30 lived. He still fears for his life. This is the

:19:09. > :19:14.first interviewed by a survivor. We heard the IS fighters, they started

:19:15. > :19:20.to shoot us, and bodies were falling on top of me, hiding me. There was

:19:21. > :19:24.blood everywhere. Then my mobile started to ring. One of the IS

:19:25. > :19:29.answered it and said this is the mobile of your coward brother, and

:19:30. > :19:32.we have shot and beheaded the cowards. The IS have a tradition

:19:33. > :19:36.that after they shoot people, they cut their heads off to show how many

:19:37. > :19:40.they have killed. They started to cut, but there was a call from the

:19:41. > :19:47.bridge, leave them, more soldiers are coming. And that saved his life.

:19:48. > :19:55.Iraqi faces an unprecedented crisis. This prominent MP has spoken

:19:56. > :19:59.to me. The Iraqi state is facing for the first time and existentialists

:20:00. > :20:04.read. This existential threat is that there is somebody else claiming

:20:05. > :20:08.sovereignty over Iraqi territory -- facing for the first time and

:20:09. > :20:15.existentialists read. Did you fear they could make it to bag that --

:20:16. > :20:19.Baghdad question they are 20 kilometres from where we are now.

:20:20. > :20:24.Even Western air strikes have not helped these men push back the IS

:20:25. > :20:28.forces. They are only holding the line.

:20:29. > :20:31.Lloyds Banking Group has sacked eight employees for their part in

:20:32. > :20:34.Bonuses totalling three million pounds have also been with held.

:20:35. > :20:37.In July, the bank was fined ?218 million for manipulating

:20:38. > :20:43.Midwives in England have voted to go on strike for the first time

:20:44. > :20:51.The Royal College of Midwives will take industrial action next month.

:20:52. > :20:58.Hugh, why are they striking and how will this affect services?

:20:59. > :21:04.Midwives in England are angry at what they see as the imposition by

:21:05. > :21:08.the government of a 1% pay rise, or an angry -- annual increment based

:21:09. > :21:11.on seniority, but not both. Previous years they say they have got the

:21:12. > :21:15.increment by right and then the pay rise on top. There have already been

:21:16. > :21:19.a couple of years of pay restraint. Two other health unions have voted

:21:20. > :21:25.for strike action, and there will be a joint action on October 13 lasting

:21:26. > :21:28.for hours. The Royal College says essential services will not be

:21:29. > :21:33.affected, but clinics, antenatal and so on, will be disrupted. The

:21:34. > :21:36.government says it is disappointed that it could only afford a pay rise

:21:37. > :21:38.or an annual increment, but not both.

:21:39. > :21:41.The discount supermarket, Aldi, has announced a massive rise

:21:47. > :21:51.away from the UK's 'big four' supermarkets by competing on price.

:21:52. > :21:54.Aldi, which is German-owned, says it plans to open another 65

:21:55. > :22:07.Our Business Correspondent Emma Simpson has the details.

:22:08. > :22:15.Welcome to Aldi, unlike the big established players, this grocer is

:22:16. > :22:19.piling on sales and customer -- customers. The supermarket world is

:22:20. > :22:23.changing fast, ask the shoppers. I see you have a Waitrose bag, Tesco

:22:24. > :22:27.bag, Sainsbury's and you're also shopping a Aldi. Why? Though

:22:28. > :22:33.beforehand you could conveniently go to one shop and get loads of stuff,

:22:34. > :22:37.now you are finding new art spending a lot of money, but if you split it

:22:38. > :22:42.between shops, and one of them is Aldi, you save a lot of money. All

:22:43. > :22:47.of this was ?21, and usually it would be about 50 or ?60. Aldi

:22:48. > :22:55.arrived in the UK more than 20 years ago. It was sold from boxes. But

:22:56. > :23:00.these days it has upped its game, selling fresh produce, attracting

:23:01. > :23:03.more upstart -- upmarket shoppers, although small in the UK, it has a

:23:04. > :23:08.Basque operations across Europe and beyond. It may have far fewer

:23:09. > :23:13.products than a normal supermarket but it gives them a huge buying

:23:14. > :23:20.power with suppliers -- a vast operation. Discounters like Aldi are

:23:21. > :23:23.stealing a mask -- March. What is happening on the Isles is sending

:23:24. > :23:26.shock waves through the industrial ready grappling with huge change,

:23:27. > :23:31.and it is a battle increasingly about price. At Sainsbury's, we are

:23:32. > :23:35.changing the way we set our prices. The big grocers are fighting back.

:23:36. > :23:39.Sainsbury's is the latest to launch a campaign on price. But experts

:23:40. > :23:44.reckon it is a battle they cannot win. Tesco, Sainsbury's, Morrisons,

:23:45. > :23:48.they public company and they report to the city and there will always be

:23:49. > :23:51.an expect -- expectation of profit margins are the three retailers

:23:52. > :23:57.which makes it difficult for them to invest the margin back into price

:23:58. > :24:01.again. Privately owned Aldi does not have that problem, but with new

:24:02. > :24:05.research today suggesting another three years of squeezed household

:24:06. > :24:07.finances the competition at the checkouts could get even tougher.

:24:08. > :24:09.Now, parody of films, books and TV programmes has

:24:10. > :24:15.But until now comics have always run the risk of being sued for breach

:24:16. > :24:19.All that changes this week when the laws are loosened to allow

:24:20. > :24:21.a certain amount of original material to be used.

:24:22. > :24:25.But there's one snag - it maybe left to a high court judge to decide

:24:26. > :24:39.if the parody is funny enough to be legal - as Clive Coleman explains.

:24:40. > :24:50.This is the phenomenally successful Mhairi -- Miley Cyrus song Wrecking

:24:51. > :24:58.Ball. And this is a parody that has had a staggering 50 million and more

:24:59. > :25:03.hits online. This is Sir Alan Sugar. And here is the Apprentice, but not

:25:04. > :25:09.as you know it. Do you want to kiss my mouth? The answer to that from me

:25:10. > :25:15.is yes. You are hired. It's one of a growing number of parodies on the

:25:16. > :25:20.Internet made by comically reediting snippets. Until now anyone who had

:25:21. > :25:25.copyrighted films, TV shows or songs to make parodies faced a risk of

:25:26. > :25:28.being sued. It's not very conducive to good comedy to be sat there

:25:29. > :25:34.waiting to see what lawyers think of a joke. It might even had a chilling

:25:35. > :25:40.effect where you think it is too much trouble to do that particular

:25:41. > :25:47.joke. The man responsible for some of the most popular parodies is

:25:48. > :25:50.known only as Cassette Boy. Tell me about the legal issues and

:25:51. > :25:55.frustrations that you have had to negotiate in doing your work. It

:25:56. > :25:59.feels like censorship. It feels like the chosen form of impression --

:26:00. > :26:06.expression is being censored. It's like being a painter in a country

:26:07. > :26:10.where paint is illegal. This parody of the Beatles I am the walrus could

:26:11. > :26:13.not be shown on British television until now as the music publishers

:26:14. > :26:21.would not allow the lyrics to be changed. I am Thesaurus. Now

:26:22. > :26:25.copyrighted material can be used of the parody is fair, but if the

:26:26. > :26:30.copyright owner sues, it will be up to the judge to decide if the parody

:26:31. > :26:35.is funny. Whether George who spent years in a court room might --

:26:36. > :26:39.judges who have spent years on remarked the other judge will be

:26:40. > :26:44.funny, I don't know. There could be an explosion of parodies now, like

:26:45. > :26:51.this version of Masterchef. I love your plate, it looks professional.

:26:52. > :27:01.I think many people would like to copyright the weather this month

:27:02. > :27:05.because it has been really dry and if you like it is warm, spectacular

:27:06. > :27:09.September, and the last day of the month also promises more fine

:27:10. > :27:13.weather for most of us. It will be missed the first thing, some fog

:27:14. > :27:16.patches, and there will be some rain, chiefly across western parts

:27:17. > :27:22.of the UK. In the east, some heavy downpours, and those heavy showers

:27:23. > :27:26.are clear. And also slowly fading through the night, so most of us

:27:27. > :27:30.have a dry night, and it will be a warm night with temperatures widely

:27:31. > :27:34.staying in their teens. One or two mist and fog patches, and they

:27:35. > :27:38.should clear away, and in central and eastern areas, a fine day and

:27:39. > :27:43.when it brightens up, the sunshine comes through. In the west, we will

:27:44. > :27:47.see things change. The rain will gradually spread its way across

:27:48. > :27:50.western Scotland. Staying dry and fine across north-east Scotland, but

:27:51. > :27:55.a dull evening rush hour in Glasgow and Belfast, but the far west of

:27:56. > :28:02.Northern Ireland might cheer up. The bulk of England and Wales, it will

:28:03. > :28:07.be dry and bright, and warm again, 19 or 21 Celsius. Claiming over in

:28:08. > :28:12.the West -- clouding over in the West. That area of rain will become

:28:13. > :28:15.more expansive across England and Wales tomorrow evening and another

:28:16. > :28:19.band of rain pushes across Scotland and Northern Ireland. There are two

:28:20. > :28:23.weather systems slowly spreading south during Wednesday, bringing

:28:24. > :28:26.cloud and the damp start the many but brightness in between and for

:28:27. > :28:30.Scotland and Northern Ireland it will brighten up with sunny spells

:28:31. > :28:34.here. Further south, patchy rain, nothing too heavy. Still quite mild.

:28:35. > :28:38.Slightly fresher further north and that is one of the themes of the end

:28:39. > :28:42.of the week. A big change as we head into the first week of October. It

:28:43. > :28:47.will turn cooler, spells of rain for all of us, and often quite blustery.

:28:48. > :28:49.You might say fairly typical autumnal weather on the way.
