:01:40. > :01:41.Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six.

:01:42. > :01:44.There's been turmoil and panic on global markets today amid fears

:01:45. > :01:50.Shares plunged after trading was suspended on Chinese markets

:01:51. > :01:55.The Chancellor George Osborne warned that the British economy is facing

:01:56. > :01:58.a "dangerous cocktail of risks" from abroad including the slowing

:01:59. > :02:02.Chinese economy and instability in the Middle East.

:02:03. > :02:05.He said that Britain must get its house in order.

:02:06. > :02:13.Our Economics Editor Kamal Ahmed has more.

:02:14. > :02:20.A crisis in China, where the markets were once again shut down after a

:02:21. > :02:26.sharp correction downwards. Falling stock markets across the west.

:02:27. > :02:30.Collapsing oil prices as fears grow of a global economic slowdown. The

:02:31. > :02:35.world economy is once again under pressure. The Chinese economy has

:02:36. > :02:40.been slowing for some time. There is now uncertainty on its next step and

:02:41. > :02:46.policy. The concerns are not just about China but, if China undertakes

:02:47. > :02:49.a certain policy, that may have implications for other emerging

:02:50. > :02:54.markets, for the exchange rates, policy and growth, so we may get a

:02:55. > :02:58.bigger it to the global economy more broadly. The Chancellor chose today

:02:59. > :03:04.to send out a warning. After a New Year marked by terminal -- turmoil

:03:05. > :03:10.on the markets, there were global risks to the UK economy. Britain

:03:11. > :03:14.faces a dangerous cocktail of risks from abroad, falling stock markets,

:03:15. > :03:19.instability in the Middle East, but the best antidote to that is to fix

:03:20. > :03:24.our own problems, and that means big challenges. The main Chinese stock

:03:25. > :03:29.market fell 7% and the price of oil dropped to a 12 year low. In the UK,

:03:30. > :03:35.the Chancellor said that an interest rise was now on the agenda of

:03:36. > :03:39.America raised its rates. It is no wonder that people are starting to

:03:40. > :03:43.talk about what a rise in interest rates might mean for us all.

:03:44. > :03:48.Inevitably, with the US Federal Reserve having made their decision

:03:49. > :03:53.to raise rates last month, there is a discussion about how and when we

:03:54. > :03:58.begin to move out of a world of ultralow rates. In Cardiff, I asked

:03:59. > :04:03.what people were most concerned about. Interest rate rises, because

:04:04. > :04:06.we have been very fortunate for the last number of years that they

:04:07. > :04:11.haven't gone up and people have been able to afford extra luxuries. Their

:04:12. > :04:16.upside as well as downsides. Very good for savers. Of course, they

:04:17. > :04:22.have been having a rubbish time for many years. George Osborne has

:04:23. > :04:26.focused on the global risks affecting the economy, risks from

:04:27. > :04:34.overseas and far-away, but many of those risks are here in the UK. The

:04:35. > :04:37.government is poor at delivering infrastructure projects and business

:04:38. > :04:42.leaders are not happy. They want much more to be done to rebalance

:04:43. > :04:47.the UK economy towards manufacturing and exports to our key economic

:04:48. > :04:52.markets overseas. They have forgotten the terrible ways in which

:04:53. > :04:56.markets can bite back... For economists, the warning note is

:04:57. > :05:00.clear. The Treasury is worried about the public finances and they have

:05:01. > :05:05.sent him on a scare mission to recognise that we still have a

:05:06. > :05:11.deficit, debt is high, 80% of GDP and rising. China is the world's

:05:12. > :05:15.second-largest economy and the country's growth figures, to be

:05:16. > :05:20.published on January 19, could be the lowest for 25 years. This global

:05:21. > :05:21.economic turmoil does not appear to be temporarily.

:05:22. > :05:23.Our political correspondent Vicki Young is in Westminster.

:05:24. > :05:30.Is this a change of mood from the Chancellor?

:05:31. > :05:36.His team say that he has always been a cautious Chancellor. That is why

:05:37. > :05:40.he talks so much about balancing the books, getting the country to live

:05:41. > :05:44.within its means, and they say it is his job to flag up the risks that

:05:45. > :05:48.there are two people, whether they are coming from volatility in the

:05:49. > :05:52.world market or a possible rise in interest rates, which could make

:05:53. > :05:56.millions of people immediately feel less better off. I think the problem

:05:57. > :06:01.is that he is also looking at a political argument. He is trying to

:06:02. > :06:05.counter the argument from his SNP and Labour opponents who say, the

:06:06. > :06:09.economy is ticking along nicely, this is the time to borrow more and

:06:10. > :06:12.to invest, and they say that George Osborne hasn't done enough of that

:06:13. > :06:16.to protect people and bring security. We hear job -- George

:06:17. > :06:20.Osborne talking all the time about fixing the roof while the sun is

:06:21. > :06:22.shining. It sounds like he will be up there for some time.

:06:23. > :06:24.A man carrying a knife has been shot dead outside a police

:06:25. > :06:29.Police say he was wearing a fake suicide belt and was carrying

:06:30. > :06:30.the emblem of the Islamic State group.

:06:31. > :06:33.It happened exactly a year after the attacks on the satirical

:06:34. > :06:35.magazine Charlie Hebdo, in which 12 people were killed

:06:36. > :06:43.Our Paris Correspondent Lucy Williamson reports.

:06:44. > :06:50.In northern Paris today, the now familiar feeling of France coming

:06:51. > :06:53.under attack. Exactly one year since gunmen burst into the offices of

:06:54. > :07:01.Charlie Hebdo, a loan assailant armed with a kitchen knife. Just

:07:02. > :07:04.after 11:30am, he approached the police station here, in the

:07:05. > :07:10.capital's 18th district, where officers shot him dead.

:07:11. > :07:14.TRANSLATION: They told him to get back and he did, but then he stepped

:07:15. > :07:22.towards them again. They want him once more. He lifted his arms and

:07:23. > :07:27.they shot him three times. On his body, a harmless home-made device

:07:28. > :07:32.made to look like a suicide belt. And, say police, an image of the

:07:33. > :07:37.flag used by Islamic State. Some eyewitnesses say that the man

:07:38. > :07:42.shouted Allahu Akbar as he ran towards the police station. This

:07:43. > :07:45.time, the only casualty was the attacker himself. But, on the

:07:46. > :07:50.anniversary of the shootings at Charlie Hebdo, it is a reminder of

:07:51. > :07:54.the threat that France still faces, one year on. News of the assault

:07:55. > :07:58.trickled through the lines of police officers gathered at their Paris

:07:59. > :08:02.headquarters today. They had come to hear President Hollande pay tribute

:08:03. > :08:06.to three of their colleagues killed in last January's attacks. Hard to

:08:07. > :08:12.imagine then that it would be just the beginning.

:08:13. > :08:16.TRANSLATION: We are now facing hardened fighters who have decided

:08:17. > :08:21.to kill, even at the cost of their own lives. Their attacks are

:08:22. > :08:24.coordinated from abroad, ordered by the organisation called Islamic

:08:25. > :08:31.State. That is why I say that we are at war. Charlie Hebdo itself marked

:08:32. > :08:35.today's anniversary with a special edition, aimed at none other than

:08:36. > :08:42.God himself. It's pointed headline, the killer is still out there.

:08:43. > :08:46.Investigators don't yet know what links, if any, today's attacker may

:08:47. > :08:51.have had with jihadist networks. Amid this week's commemorations,

:08:52. > :08:56.Paris is remembering its victims with the sound of sirens once again

:08:57. > :08:59.ringing through its streets. In the past hour, a view more details about

:09:00. > :09:04.the possible identity of the attacker has begun to emerge. Early

:09:05. > :09:10.reports say that he may be a Moroccan born man, 20 years old, who

:09:11. > :09:15.police questioned in 2013 about a robbery. Whoever he turns out to be,

:09:16. > :09:19.the key questions for the terrorism enquiry now getting under way here

:09:20. > :09:22.is what links you may have had or not with the jihadist networks here.

:09:23. > :09:24.The chief executive of Marks and Spencer, Marc Bolland,

:09:25. > :09:28.It comes as the high street giant posted a poor performance

:09:29. > :09:30.in its clothing and general merchandise division over

:09:31. > :09:33.the Christmas period, with sales plunging by almost 6%.

:09:34. > :09:41.Our Business Correspondent Emma Simpson has more.

:09:42. > :09:53.There was glitz and glamour in the run-up to Christmas. But it is now

:09:54. > :09:59.the exit for the boss of M After their worst Christmas in women's

:10:00. > :10:03.fashion. Marc Bolland has been nearly six years at Marks Spencer,

:10:04. > :10:09.one of the biggest, most high-profile jobs in British retail,

:10:10. > :10:13.so was he pushed? Two words, categorically not. People will look

:10:14. > :10:17.back and say that Mark had the courage to do some of the difficult

:10:18. > :10:22.things, to really put in place the infrastructure for the future. He

:10:23. > :10:26.has modernised the business, revamped the website, turned around

:10:27. > :10:31.food, but women's fashion, which drives most profits, has yet to be

:10:32. > :10:36.fixed. This is the fifth year of falling sales. This winter, the warm

:10:37. > :10:41.weather hasn't helped. We didn't want to buy. These heavy coats at

:10:42. > :10:47.M What we wanted to wear were these lighter items, but they didn't

:10:48. > :10:52.have enough of them in stock. Marx has had the odd bestseller. Remember

:10:53. > :10:57.this skirt? Ultimately, it is all about the product and making sure

:10:58. > :11:00.that those who want it get it. There has been a good response for the

:11:01. > :11:05.last few seasons in the fashion press but we are not really seen

:11:06. > :11:08.those styles and the right kind of sizing options in their regional

:11:09. > :11:13.stores, and I think a lot of customers find it frustrating. In

:11:14. > :11:20.Bristol, a glimpse of what M are up against. This woman loves the

:11:21. > :11:25.food but not the clothes. Every time I browse through the stores at the

:11:26. > :11:30.clothes, I think that the style is just meant for a slightly older

:11:31. > :11:37.market. Pauline always used to shop here, but not so much now. I am not

:11:38. > :11:42.very tall. They don't go for short people any more. Hazel and Gillian

:11:43. > :11:47.like fast fashion. Marks and Spencer are three or four times the price of

:11:48. > :11:53.prime. You don't get the quality but you don't always need something to

:11:54. > :11:59.last for ever. -- the price of prime arc. At least the new boss knows the

:12:00. > :12:02.challenges. He has been with Marks Spencer for years and he now has to

:12:03. > :12:06.bring the pizzazz back to women's fashion.

:12:07. > :12:09.The family of the missing Eastenders actress, Sian Blake,

:12:10. > :12:12.has appealed to her partner to come back to Britain and answer questions

:12:13. > :12:15.Arthur Simpson-Kent travelled to Ghana days after Miss Blake

:12:16. > :12:19.Three bodies have been found at the family home in Kent.

:12:20. > :12:24.Our Home Affairs Correspondent June Kelly reports.

:12:25. > :12:33.Sian Blake claimed -- came from a close family who are now forced to

:12:34. > :12:41.face losing her and her two boys. Zachary was eight and her younger

:12:42. > :12:44.son, Amon, was four. Sian's partner and the children's father, Arthur

:12:45. > :12:48.Simpson-Kent, is missing and is known to have travelled to the West

:12:49. > :12:54.African state of Ghana before Christmas. Today, Sian's sister,

:12:55. > :12:59.Ava, and her mother, Pansy, were asked about the man being sought. I

:13:00. > :13:04.want him back for justice because I want to know how and why it

:13:05. > :13:08.happened. It was three weeks after the former EastEnders actress and

:13:09. > :13:14.her sons were reported missing that three bodies were found in the back

:13:15. > :13:16.garden of the family home in Erith south-east London. Today, we heard

:13:17. > :13:24.about the relationship between the younger child and his father. They

:13:25. > :13:28.called him proper, pop of this. But Sian Blake's relationship with her

:13:29. > :13:34.long-time partner was said to be over. The relationship had come to

:13:35. > :13:42.an end but she hadn't quite made the decision to leave. I think she also

:13:43. > :13:46.wanted to do it in a way to cause a minimum of discomfort to him as

:13:47. > :13:51.well. Now this family will have to live with a triple loss. I've just

:13:52. > :13:56.lost my sister and my nephews. I'm not going to see them grow up. I'm

:13:57. > :14:07.going to miss Sian will stop she was my sister and somebody... Somebody

:14:08. > :14:14.that I loved. Loved the boys. We've lost a generation. We can never

:14:15. > :14:15.replace them. As the investigation continues, the search goes on

:14:16. > :14:26.Our top story this evening... overseas for Arthur Simpson-Kent.

:14:27. > :14:28.There's been turmoil on global markets amid fears

:14:29. > :14:32.Shares plunged after trading was suspended on Chinese markets

:14:33. > :14:37.And still to come: A state of emergency is declared

:14:38. > :14:41.in California after a major gas leak forces thousands from their home.

:14:42. > :14:43.A year since free school meals were introduced for our youngest

:14:44. > :14:47.pupils, is it radical social policy, or a middle-class subsidy?

:14:48. > :14:50.And minnows East Kilbride gear up for their chance to reach the last

:14:51. > :15:08.Hundreds of farms were hit hard by last month's floods,

:15:09. > :15:09.with some losing large numbers of livestock.

:15:10. > :15:12.Now the government is considering paying farmers to allow their land

:15:13. > :15:14.to be flooded during periods of heavy rainfall.

:15:15. > :15:16.The idea would be to prevent the water from reaching more

:15:17. > :15:20.In one of the worst hit counties, Cumbria, more than 600

:15:21. > :15:23.hundred farms were flooded, and at least 2000 sheep were killed,

:15:24. > :15:26.Our Environment Correspondent Claire Marshall has been talking to some

:15:27. > :15:40.This Cumbrian hill farmer is off to inspect what is left

:15:41. > :15:46.James watched the flood waters engulf 160 others.

:15:47. > :15:48.This is the Fire Service trying to do their best.

:15:49. > :15:50.There was nothing anybody could have done any different.

:15:51. > :15:53.It is just absolutely torture to watch it.

:15:54. > :15:57.Along with the towns and cities rural Cumbria was hit hard.

:15:58. > :16:04.These were trapped on a dwindling strip of land.

:16:05. > :16:06.The waters thundered down the valleys.

:16:07. > :16:23.This is one of the many rivers that flooded.

:16:24. > :16:25.You can just about see the tide line here.

:16:26. > :16:30.If this had been allowed to flood it could have saved urban areas

:16:31. > :16:33.Today, the government has said it wants to pay

:16:34. > :16:35.farmers to let their land be flooded.

:16:36. > :16:37.David is one farmer who could benefit.

:16:38. > :16:39.If there was a possibility where it is going to save housing

:16:40. > :16:42.and such being flooded we would seriously look at it.

:16:43. > :16:45.Yes, we have to have a bit of an incentive because at the end

:16:46. > :16:48.of the day we have to get our land back

:16:49. > :16:53.into top shape to produce crops that work for our business.

:16:54. > :16:55.Right now he does not have time to think about

:16:56. > :17:00.He is still dealing with these latest floods.

:17:01. > :17:03.It will take months and tens of thousands of pounds to do

:17:04. > :17:12.Going to have to build it all back up as a retaining wall.

:17:13. > :17:14.A member of the farmer network arrives.

:17:15. > :17:16.They are doing a survey of all the damage.

:17:17. > :17:18.How serious has it been for farmers in the region?

:17:19. > :17:21.Many farmers are telling me it is as serious as it

:17:22. > :17:29.There have been floods in many valleys before in the Lake District

:17:30. > :17:32.but never as many and never as concerted and the level of damage

:17:33. > :17:34.across the county is quite horrific in many areas.

:17:35. > :17:38.In a changing climate farming may well need to adapt to help hold

:17:39. > :17:48.The Prime Minister has been in Germany and Hungary today

:17:49. > :17:50.to try to garner support for the changes he wants

:17:51. > :17:54.The most controversial, a four year ban on migrant workers

:17:55. > :17:56.in Britain being able to claim in-work benefits,

:17:57. > :18:09.is proving a sticking point, but this afternoon Mr Cameron

:18:10. > :18:13.said he was confident a solution could be found

:18:14. > :18:15.Our political correspondent Ben Wright reports.

:18:16. > :18:19.David Cameron wants a clutch of changes to Britain's relationship

:18:20. > :18:22.That means persuading all Europe's leaders to back the deal.

:18:23. > :18:24.This morning BMW said it wanted Britain

:18:25. > :18:26.to stay in the EU, and his reception from top German

:18:27. > :18:30.David Cameron is a strong negotiator and David Cameron has

:18:31. > :18:33.good and fair arguments for his position, and that is received

:18:34. > :18:35.by all the other partners on the European level.

:18:36. > :18:40.David Cameron's next stop in Budapest was likely to be

:18:41. > :18:44.It seems he is not the first British Prime Minister

:18:45. > :18:55.Mr Cameron wants to stop workers from countries such as Hungary

:18:56. > :18:57.claiming in work benefits like tax credits in Britain for four

:18:58. > :19:00.Many Eastern European leaders are opposed but after talks

:19:01. > :19:03.with Hungary's Prime Minister, Viktor Orban, David Cameron's aim

:19:04. > :19:06.My proposal that people should have to

:19:07. > :19:08.wait for four years before getting access to those benefits,

:19:09. > :19:11.I am open to listening to alternative solutions.

:19:12. > :19:14.As we agreed at the European Council we should be looking for solutions

:19:15. > :19:19.Of the thousands of Hungarians working in Britain some

:19:20. > :19:21.begin their journey here, but this recruitment agency

:19:22. > :19:24.does not think new benefit restrictions would reduce migration

:19:25. > :19:29.I believe people go to UK firstly because of the good salaries

:19:30. > :19:37.and different benefits including tax credits are not a point

:19:38. > :19:43.On many EU issues Hungary's Prime Minister agrees with David

:19:44. > :19:48.He said a deal on benefits was possible but...

:19:49. > :19:51.TRANSLATION: We would like to make it clear that we are not migrants

:19:52. > :19:54.in the UK, we are citizens of the European Union.

:19:55. > :19:58.We are free to work wherever we want in the EU.

:19:59. > :20:01.The Hungarian Prime Minister has not simply rolled over

:20:02. > :20:04.and accepted David Cameron's benefits plan.

:20:05. > :20:07.This remains the very sticky part of this renegotiation.

:20:08. > :20:09.David Cameron is looking for something that satisfies

:20:10. > :20:14.Mr Orban needs something that does not discriminate against workers

:20:15. > :20:18.from his country and others in central Europe.

:20:19. > :20:20.This daylong dash through Europe may have encouraged

:20:21. > :20:22.David Cameron a deal next month is doable.

:20:23. > :20:29.The referendum battle will then follow.

:20:30. > :20:31.Meanwhile, during the same trip to Germany,

:20:32. > :20:33.David Cameron indicated a possible change of position

:20:34. > :20:36.over the introduction of a sugar tax, something that's previously

:20:37. > :20:56.It is beginning to look that way. David Cameron was asked by reporters

:20:57. > :20:59.about a sugar tax and said the government should not be in the

:21:05. > :21:08.autumn when he seemed firmly against the idea of a sugar tax although he

:21:09. > :21:12.said when it came to tackling obesity it would be better to make

:21:13. > :21:19.progress on the issue without having to resort to a tax. The idea of a

:21:20. > :21:23.sugary drinks tax, particularly on soft drinks, maybe 20p a can, is

:21:24. > :21:27.being discussed at the highest levels of government and ministers

:21:28. > :21:32.are weighing up the advantages of going ahead with this policy which

:21:33. > :21:36.may be electorally popular, celebrities like Jamie Oliver

:21:37. > :21:40.campaigning for it, against the possibility that it would hit low

:21:41. > :21:44.income families who spend relatively more of their money on food and

:21:45. > :21:50.groceries. The industry would be against the idea of -- and campaign

:21:51. > :21:53.against it. No final decisions have been made. The idea is on the table

:21:54. > :21:58.certainly. Thank you. A state of emergency has been

:21:59. > :22:01.declared in California after a major gas leak forced thousands of people

:22:02. > :22:04.from their homes in Los Angeles. Since October, huge quantities

:22:05. > :22:06.of methane gas have been escaping from an underground

:22:07. > :22:09.storage facility. People have been complaining

:22:10. > :22:11.of headaches and nausea. From Los Angeles,

:22:12. > :22:15.James Cook reports. In these clear Californian skies,

:22:16. > :22:19.there is a hidden menace. Every day thousands of tonnes

:22:20. > :22:21.of methane are pouring out The leak has been going

:22:22. > :22:26.on since October and people I had to go to the

:22:27. > :22:32.emergency room because I was violently throwing up

:22:33. > :22:36.and had a severe migraine and I was in severe

:22:37. > :22:39.pain for three days. Using an infrared camera the scale

:22:40. > :22:44.of the leak becomes clear. The methane is spewing

:22:45. > :22:47.from an underground storage facility Activists say it is the worst

:22:48. > :22:53.environmental disaster since the Deepwater Horizon oil

:22:54. > :22:57.spill in 2010 and it could go It is an ongoing thing and I know

:22:58. > :23:03.everyone thought this happened on October the 23rd

:23:04. > :23:06.and we have a situation This community is under

:23:07. > :23:13.a constant assault. The company involved, SoCal Gas,

:23:14. > :23:17.insists the fumes leaking from these hills do not pose an imminent

:23:18. > :23:21.threat to public safety. People here are still

:23:22. > :23:24.worried both about their Experts say the leak so far amounts

:23:25. > :23:33.to a quarter of California's entire annual emissions of methane,

:23:34. > :23:35.a potent greenhouse gas. Begging the question,

:23:36. > :23:37.what is all this doing It's a one off concert designed

:23:38. > :23:49.to highlight the difficulties that many disabled people have getting

:23:50. > :23:56.access to their favourite bands. It has just got under way in

:23:57. > :24:02.Glasgow. It's a sell out and it's hoped it

:24:03. > :24:05.will draw attention to just how much Fewer than half of music venues

:24:06. > :24:09.across the UK are even wheelchair accessible, and where there

:24:10. > :24:12.is access fewer than 1% of tickets are for disabled

:24:13. > :24:13.customers on platforms. Our disability correspondent

:24:14. > :24:22.Nikki Fox is in Glasgow now. I am somewhere that makes their

:24:23. > :24:31.sponsored very different from the average gig. This platform holds up

:24:32. > :24:36.to 30 wheelchairs. On average you are lucky if you normally get three

:24:37. > :24:42.or four spaces. You have a great view. There's also a high dependency

:24:43. > :24:52.back room that has been installed. There around 70 where. There are

:24:53. > :24:58.going to be some BSL interpreters on stage and you might see some guide

:24:59. > :25:03.dogs. The person who thought it up is passionate about this. He has had

:25:04. > :25:08.trouble himself accessing music. He is a real music lover. It takes a

:25:09. > :25:15.lot of effort to transform a venue like this and made it fully

:25:16. > :25:20.accessible and one of the promoters, Geoff Ellis, the man behind the in

:25:21. > :25:23.the Park, says this is not financially viable on a large-scale

:25:24. > :25:29.because the work involved is so intense. It is a sell-out. It is a

:25:30. > :25:37.one-off, but do you think it will make a difference? It is hoped so.

:25:38. > :25:42.Soon you are going to see a band performing and I spoke to them and

:25:43. > :25:46.they said that they hopes this will be the catalyst for other venues and

:25:47. > :25:51.promoters to think about accessibility and disabled people.

:25:52. > :25:58.This is being done on a large-scale, for everyone with every of

:25:59. > :26:02.disability. It is big. It is hoped that other venues will think there

:26:03. > :26:06.are other things they can do. Bands like this want to perform to

:26:07. > :26:11.everyone with every kind of disability so hopefully change will

:26:12. > :26:20.come. This has proved that it least it can be done. Enjoy.

:26:21. > :26:29.I am going to take you to Scotland because we have to max severe flood

:26:30. > :26:37.warnings issued at indoor and Invergowrie. Flood warnings mean a

:26:38. > :26:42.danger to life. We have a number warnings in force from the Met

:26:43. > :26:45.Office across the north-east of Scotland, but most of north-east

:26:46. > :26:51.Scotland is pretty wet at the moment. Elsewhere the rain has

:26:52. > :26:56.cleared through. We have called air so some of the rain will turn to

:26:57. > :27:01.snow overnight. Particularly across the hills but not exclusively. We

:27:02. > :27:08.have this next fly in the ointment across Northern Ireland and into

:27:09. > :27:16.southern Scotland. Perilously close to the central Olins. It is going to

:27:17. > :27:24.be a nice eve. The risk of snow. -- icy. Not a particularly pleasant

:27:25. > :27:28.rush hour if you are caught in the showers with the risk of sleet and

:27:29. > :27:33.snow back but they should move through and there will be some

:27:34. > :27:37.sunshine in between. Nowhere near as windy as today. The rain should

:27:38. > :27:41.become limited to Caithness, Orkney and Shetland. Elsewhere hopefully

:27:42. > :27:46.drying up a little for the north-east of Scotland but chilly

:27:47. > :27:52.and cold enough for wintry weather. Into the weekend we have another

:27:53. > :27:57.area of low pressure coming in sitting across the country. Where it

:27:58. > :28:03.lies will determine where we see the wettest weather but clearly there

:28:04. > :28:08.will be more wet weather. The risk of further flooding. Change on the

:28:09. > :28:11.way thereafter. Cold weather over the weekend but more rain

:28:12. > :28:15.potentially Monday. Thereafter we might see something drier. Plenty of

:28:16. > :28:19.warnings on the website. There's been turmoil

:28:20. > :28:24.on global markets amid fears Shares plunged after trading

:28:25. > :28:28.was suspended on Chinese markets The Chancellor George Osborne warns

:28:29. > :28:35.that the British economy is facing a "dangerous cocktail of risks"

:28:36. > :28:37.from abroad, including the slowing Chinese economy and instability

:28:38. > :28:41.in the Middle East. That's all from the BBC News at Six
