A new report says three out of four people with mental illness | :00:09. | :00:14. | |
The government is under pressure to take action. | :00:15. | :00:19. | |
We've not done enough to end the stigma of mental health. | :00:20. | :00:21. | |
We've focused on physical health and have not as a country, | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
as a nation, focused on mental health. | :00:25. | :00:29. | |

In a week of special reports, we'll be turning the spotlight | :00:50. | :00:53. | |

Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six. | :01:28. | :01:51. | |
Thousands of unnecessary deaths and chronic underinvestment. | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
That's how an independent review sums up the state of mental health | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
Here's just one fact from the report. | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
Three quarters of mentally ill people receive no support at all. | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
The government has accepted the report's findings | :02:06. | :02:13. | |
And we will have more on that in a moment. | :02:14. | :02:24. | |
The Prime Minister has told the BBC that he wants to see mental | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
illness receive the same attention within the NHS as physical illness. | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
Our first report tonight is from our Health Editor, | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
When this recording was made of Edward Mallen at the piano, | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
nobody could imagine it would be played at | :02:36. | :02:37. | |
Aged 18, he was due to go to Cambridge University | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
Feeling suicidal, he had sought help, and was sent | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
away with pills and websites to check. | :02:45. | :02:46. | |
His father Steve wrote to the Prime Minister shortly | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
after Edward's death a year ago, saying | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
As a father, there are no words to describe... | :02:54. | :03:01. | |
How one feels when your son's coffin enters the church. | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
While you are listening to his accomplished notes waft | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
It is very clear here that we have a completely broken | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
This is not about a system that needs a slight reform | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
This is about a fundamental process that we as a society have not got | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
Thousands of stories like this helped inform the taskforce report, | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
It says there are thousands of tragic and unnecessary | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
One of the reasons is chronic underinvestment in mental | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
Three quarters of people with mental health problems received | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
The head of NHS England told me the system needs to improve. | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
The NHS wants to and needs to up our game when it comes | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
This is not something that can be done overnight but we clearly | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
want to expand the range of treatments for children, | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
for pregnant mums, for people at times | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
Heading off potential problems facing young people is part | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
Early intervention is seen by the taskforce as a priority. | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
That is getting teenagers like these to talk openly about their emotional | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
well-being and to identify and discuss mental health challenges | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
which they and their friends may face. | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
Think about physical health and emotional and mental health. | :04:25. | :04:31. | |
This school in West Sussex is using a programme devised | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
by the Samaritans as part of the regular | :04:35. | :04:36. | |
I specifically know what people can actually go through and how hard | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
I think now I would be able to support | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
someone who is going through something. | :04:47. | :04:48. | |
It talked us through how everyone reacts differently to mental | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
illnesses and how they can quite often become undetected. | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
There are not significant things that you | :04:55. | :04:55. | |
will be able to spot in every person. | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
The report's action plan, now adopted by NHS England, | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
includes 1 million more people being treated | :05:02. | :05:03. | |
by 2020, 24/7 crisis support at A units and hospitals and increased | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
access to talking therapies including counselling. | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
The Scottish Government says there will be major | :05:14. | :05:15. | |
investment in mental health over the next four years. | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
In Wales more is spent on mental health than any | :05:19. | :05:20. | |
other part of the NHS, according to a spokesman. | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
While a Northern Ireland Executive spokesman said there had | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
been higher investment in a range of therapies. | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
For Steve Mallen the new plan for England is welcome but it can | :05:31. | :05:32. | |
only be judged if it is delivered in full. | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
What we have to be sure here is that this does not turn | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
into some sort of Orwellian rhetoric where the government are always | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
announcing ever bigger numbers and ever more initiatives and yet | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
the experience of real people in real | :05:47. | :05:48. | |
schools in real families in real communities is not changing | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
The report's ambitions have been widely praised | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
but no one is denying that putting mental health at the same level | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
as physical health care could take some | :05:59. | :06:00. | |
Well, all this week we'll be taking a close look at mental health | :06:01. | :06:20. | |
in a season of programmes for BBC One called in the mind. | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
This morning my colleague Fiona Bruce went to talk | :06:24. | :06:25. | |
to the Prime Minister about the findings in today's report. | :06:26. | :06:27. | |
Let's talk about today's task force report, Prime Minister. | :06:28. | :06:29. | |
Inadequate provision, worsening outcomes, increase | :06:30. | :06:31. | |
in the number of people committing suicide. | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
That is the verdict of the taskforce on mental health since | :06:38. | :06:39. | |
Why have you allowed this to happen since you have been Prime Minister? | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
It is a very powerful report and it shows how much more we need to do. | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
We have not done enough to end the stigma of mental | :06:48. | :06:55. | |
We have focused a lot on physical health. | :06:56. | :06:57. | |
We haven't as a country, as a nation, focused enough | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
Let's talk about a specific case which I know you are aware of, | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
which is the case of Ed Mallen, the son of | :07:06. | :07:07. | |
His 18-year-old son presented as a clear | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
suicide risk, was given a strip of pills and a couple of website | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
addresses, and very shortly afterwards he took his own life. | :07:15. | :07:16. | |
Can you pledge that by the end of your tenure as Prime Minister | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
there will not be a lack of care for young people | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
Of course I cannot pledge that there will not be tragic | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
events like that because there will be, but... | :07:26. | :07:27. | |
It is the lack of care I am talking about. | :07:28. | :07:29. | |
What I can pledge is that we are going to expand, | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
for example, the talking therapies, which I think | :07:34. | :07:35. | |
have been so valuable for so many people. | :07:36. | :07:37. | |
Three quarters of a million more people already accessing talking | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
For the first time ever waiting lists, waiting times, | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
If for instance you have psychosis you should get treatment | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
When you say two weeks, the average waiting time for a child | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
to get access to therapy is 32 weeks. | :07:54. | :07:55. | |
It is far too long, and that is why we are putting in the money. | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
Not just money, it is also saying, let's have... | :08:01. | :08:02. | |
We are very familiar with waiting time targets | :08:03. | :08:03. | |
You should not have to wait longer than 18 weeks | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
We are now doing that for mental health as well. | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
The taskforce report recommends that no | :08:14. | :08:15. | |
one should have to wait longer than two weeks to access | :08:16. | :08:17. | |
Can you pledge that that will happen? | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
We can only pledge what we can afford. | :08:21. | :08:22. | |
I do not know if I can make that specific pledge and I do not | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
want to say something on your programme that | :08:27. | :08:28. | |
Let us talk about another recommendation | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
of the taskforce report, which is to end the situation | :08:34. | :08:35. | |
where children and adults are sent out of the local | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
area, sometimes hundreds of miles, to get to an acute psychiatric bed | :08:39. | :08:40. | |
The taskforce report recommends that that | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
At the moment people are having to travel too far. | :08:44. | :08:53. | |
If you look at children and their mental health bed | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
provision there is more bed provision than there has been | :08:58. | :08:58. | |
in the past, but we are also seeing frankly | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
more children presenting with mental health problems. | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
If you look for instance at eating disorders, | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
we have seen a big increase in those, | :09:09. | :09:10. | |
so extra money and extra work needs to be done. | :09:11. | :09:12. | |
We accept what is in the report and we have to work out | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
if we have the resources necessary to | :09:16. | :09:17. | |
I am slightly puzzled because I have put two of the recommendations | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
in the report to you and you say you accept the recommendations | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
but what are you actually going to do? | :09:25. | :09:26. | |
Which of these pledges are you going to | :09:27. | :09:28. | |
We are going to spend ?1 billion extra per year over the coming | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
period in order to deliver 1 million more treatments. | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
We are going to go through this report and as we respond we will be | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
able to see exactly which of the recommendations | :09:40. | :09:41. | |
We want to end the stigma of mental health | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
We want to ensure the parity of esteem that we have | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
all talked about that previous governments have not been able | :09:51. | :09:54. | |

International diplomats are hoping for a pause in the fighting in Syria | :10:22. | :10:23. | |
by the end of this week, but there's little sign of it today. | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
The charity Doctors without Borders says two medical facilities have | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
been hit in the north of the country. | :10:31. | :10:31. | |
They are both in an area where Syrian forces and their Russian | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
allies have been carrying out bombing raids. | :10:35. | :10:35. | |
Here's our diplomatic correspondent James Robbins. | :10:36. | :10:41. | |
Monday morning in north-east Syria. Rescue workers scramble over the | :10:42. | :10:48. | |
rubble of a hospital hit by missiles, to rescue any survivors | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
they can find. Russia has been widely blamed. It has been bombing | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
intensively to try to win the area back for president Assad. Hospital | :10:59. | :11:04. | |
was completely destroyed. We have had at least seven deaths among | :11:05. | :11:10. | |
personnel and patients and at least eight people have disappeared. | :11:11. | :11:16. | |
Further north, missiles hit a children's hospital and a school | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
apparently sheltering refugees fleeing the joint Russian and silly | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
and offensive. This is only a few miles from the border with Turkey | :11:26. | :11:34. | |
which is opposed to the action -- Syrian. All the talk over the | :11:35. | :11:42. | |
weekend in Munich involving Russia and the United States was about | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
achieving a cessation of hostilities. That is not a | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
ceasefire. A cessation does not apply to their bombing campaigns. | :11:52. | :11:57. | |
Moscow sees pretty much anyone fighting against Syria's President | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
Assad as a legitimate target, no distinction is drawn in the Kremlin | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
between fighters for so-called Islamic State and these anti-Assad | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
rebels who are supported by the west, though it is hard to see the | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
five year war being anywhere near close to an end. The Russians can | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
end this if they want to. They can make this work by scaling back their | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
bombing and redirecting it against the real terrorists rather than | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
bombing the moderate opposition. Russia shows no sign of changing | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
course and is embroiled in a hotter and hotter war of words with Syria's | :12:32. | :12:37. | |
neighbour Turkey. Washington is urging cooler heads but on the | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
ground there is nothing positive to point to. | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
The British Airline Pilots' Association is urging the government | :12:47. | :12:48. | |
to classify lasers as offensive weapons. | :12:49. | :12:50. | |
It comes after a laser was shone into the cockpit | :12:51. | :12:52. | |
of a Virgin Atlantic flight to New York last night, | :12:53. | :12:55. | |
Sophie Long joins us from Heathrow Airport. | :12:56. | :13:04. | |
This time yesterday people were about to board a flight to New York. | :13:05. | :13:11. | |
They have still not reached their destination. They are en route and | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
police are trying to find the person responsible for causing the delay | :13:16. | :13:21. | |
and the potential damage to a pilot's site. -- eyesight. | :13:22. | :13:34. | |
But this Virgin Atlantic Airbus should have been resting | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
contacted air-traffic control and told them one of the pilots | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
We have a medical issue with one of the pilots | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
after a laser incident after take-off and we are going | :13:48. | :13:49. | |
The pilot's union said those targeting aircraft may not know how | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
Initially it is bright flashing and you can get shadows | :13:55. | :13:56. | |
and you are obviously distracted, because you are not expecting it. | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
These laser attacks are the same as being attacked with | :14:01. | :14:03. | |
The distraction these can cause at the critical phase of flight, | :14:04. | :14:11. | |
Virgin Atlantic said the flight was brought back to Heathrow | :14:12. | :14:28. | |
In 2006, eight laser attacks were reported to the Civil | :14:29. | :14:35. | |
Balpa say that 50% of the 870 pilot surveyed last year said | :14:36. | :14:52. | |
One reason for the surge is the greater availability | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
Internally if these are used they become far too bright, | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
the eyes are upset and people will look away. | :15:01. | :15:03. | |
So there really is not an application internally for these. | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
Outside, again, other than to try to deliberately blind | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
someone if you are targeting people, there is no | :15:12. | :15:13. | |
It is an offence to shine a light at an aircraft | :15:14. | :15:20. | |
Balpa are calling for it to be made more serious. | :15:21. | :15:25. | |
They say carrying a laser as strong as the one needed to ground this | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
plane is the same as possessing an offensive weapon and they want | :15:30. | :15:32. | |
Our top story this evening: An independent review's found three | :15:33. | :15:47. | |
quarters of people with mental health problems receive no support | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
at all. Still to come: The secret letters that revealed Pope John Paul | :15:53. | :15:55. | |
II's long and intense friendship with a married woman. | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
The dangers caused to pilots by laser pens; a senior helicopter | :16:00. | :16:02. | |
pilot in the Highlands says he wants tougher controls. | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
And, the new manager of struggling Kilmarnock says he's aiming | :16:07. | :16:10. | |
Air pollution has been linked to tens of thousands of deaths | :16:11. | :16:23. | |
But when travelling across a city, what is the best way to avoid | :16:24. | :16:28. | |
the cocktail of chemicals in the air in your car or out on the street? | :16:29. | :16:32. | |
The Smog-mobile is a new air quality vehicle which can for the first time | :16:33. | :16:35. | |
measure nitrogen dioxide a key polluting gas while on the move. | :16:36. | :16:38. | |
Our Medical correspondent, Fergus Walsh, has taken a trip | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
Some pollution from vehicle exhausts like the sooty particles you can | :16:43. | :16:48. | |
see, but the fumes from the gas nitrogen dioxide, NO2 are invisible | :16:49. | :16:54. | |
NO2, ozone particles and greenhouse gases. | :16:55. | :17:07. | |
Crucially, it can compare air quality outside the van | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
We took it for a drive around some of London's most congested streets. | :17:12. | :17:20. | |
As the smog-mobile is electric, unlike most other vehicles, | :17:21. | :17:23. | |
Sitting inside your vehicle driving through city streets, | :17:24. | :17:30. | |
you might think that you're pretty well protected against the dangers | :17:31. | :17:33. | |
On our trip, pollution levels were no lower inside the vehicle | :17:34. | :17:41. | |
with the windows closed than outside. | :17:42. | :17:44. | |
And on a previous journey, the smog-mobile recorded NO2 levels | :17:45. | :17:49. | |
20% higher inside, although the reasons | :17:50. | :17:52. | |
pollution, you can't see it, smell it, taste it in stark contrast | :17:53. | :18:03. | |
to the 1950s with the smog and pea soupers. | :18:04. | :18:06. | |
NEWSREEL: Special filtering masks are the latest weapons devised | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
to combat smog which last winter killed 4,000 Londoners | :18:12. | :18:15. | |
Dogs can be protected against the fumes which throw | :18:16. | :18:21. | |
a heavy ball across the cities every year... | :18:22. | :18:23. | |
The air we breathe is far cleaner than half a century ago, | :18:24. | :18:27. | |
but the dangers of air pollution are now better understood and it's | :18:28. | :18:33. | |
linked to tens of thousands of deaths every year in the UK. | :18:34. | :18:37. | |
As well as respiratory effects, there are cardiovascular effects | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
on mental health and child development. | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
The urgency around this issue is becoming much greater. | :18:46. | :18:48. | |
By January 8th this year, parts of London had already breached | :18:49. | :18:53. | |

David Cameron is in Paris for a hastily arranged meeting with | :19:05. | :19:23. | |
Francois Hollande about the proposed reforms to Britain's relaceship with | :19:24. | :19:26. | |
the EU. The President of the Council, Donald Tusk, has warned of | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
a risk that the EU could break up if the UK decides to lead. Ben Wright | :19:32. | :19:34. | |
is our Political Correspondent. By the looks of it, he's under pressure | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
from all sides, David Cameron? He is, yes. David Cameron arrived | :19:40. | :19:45. | |
here a few minutes ago on this last-minute dash to Paris, proof | :19:46. | :19:47. | |
that the deal is not yet done and, as you said, the President of the | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
European Council, Donald Tusk, said within the last hour that the | :19:52. | :19:54. | |
negotiations were at a critical moment. There's one issue in | :19:55. | :19:57. | |
particular that France is fretting about, that's the future of | :19:58. | :20:00. | |
financial regulation. Britain is very concerned that as the eurozone | :20:01. | :20:03. | |
integrates further, it could lose out as a country that has the pound | :20:04. | :20:07. | |
that is outside the euro. It wants new mechanisms and rules put in | :20:08. | :20:10. | |
place. France is worried that Britain is looking for a competitive | :20:11. | :20:13. | |
advantage and might threaten the single market. It's a very | :20:14. | :20:17. | |
contentious part of this negotiation and, as far as both countries are | :20:18. | :20:20. | |
concerned, a very important one too. That is probably what they are | :20:21. | :20:23. | |
talking about here. If there is a deal though in Brussels at the end | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
of this week, we learnt today there is likely to be a Cabinet meeting on | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
Friday afternoon, now that is important, it's something that | :20:32. | :20:34. | |
Euro-sceptic Tories have been demanding because effectively that's | :20:35. | :20:36. | |
the moment they can start to speak out and it's the moment that the | :20:37. | :20:39. | |
referendum campaign, if there's a deal, would get under way in | :20:40. | :20:41. | |
earnest. The families of members | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
of the indie band Viola Beach, killed in a car accident in Sweden, | :20:46. | :20:48. | |
have been paying tribute The four friends and their manager | :20:49. | :20:51. | |
died when their hire car plunged from a bridge just | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
outside Stockholm. They'd just played | :20:57. | :20:58. | |
their first gig abroad. Now their families are hoping | :20:59. | :21:01. | |
the group will score a posthumous Living the dream. That's how Viola | :21:02. | :21:18. | |
Beach have been describing their careers to their family and friends. | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
Life was just getting good for them and then this has happened | :21:24. | :21:26. | |
tragically. They were all together and that's the only comfort that we | :21:27. | :21:32. | |
have really. The band were just so happy, living the dream. Just | :21:33. | :21:36. | |
absolutely living their dream and they were very, very dedicated | :21:37. | :21:43. | |
musicians. Nothing else mattered but playing in any gig, making sure that | :21:44. | :21:53. | |
it was perfect. Band members, river Reeves, Tomas Low, Chris Leonard and | :21:54. | :21:58. | |
jack Dakin, along with their manager died when their hire car crashed | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
through barriers and off a hire bridge into a canal more than 80 | :22:03. | :22:07. | |
feet in the canal. They have died together and they were doing what | :22:08. | :22:11. | |
they loved and we, the families, we have got together, it's not been | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
easy. They made beautiful music and just... We just want people to just | :22:16. | :22:21. | |
enjoy that. It was their dream and they have gone, five of them gone. | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
They adored each other. I think we just feel the only thing we've got | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
left is for them to make a number one because that was their dream. | :22:30. | :22:36. | |
That's the only thing we can hang on to really. They'd started to play | :22:37. | :22:42. | |
gigs in Europe and were just about to head | :22:43. | :22:46. | |
gigs in Europe and were just about before playing festivals back in the | :22:47. | :22:46. | |
UK this summer. before playing festivals back in the | :22:47. | :22:53. | |
It's a tragic loss. I just hope they didn't die in vein. Go out there and | :22:54. | :22:57. | |
buy the record, let's get 'em to number one. Fantastic band. The | :22:58. | :23:03. | |
families are now just waiting for news of when they can be reunited | :23:04. | :23:05. | |

and a married woman reveals a close Our Religious Affairs Correspondent | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
Caroline Wyatt reports. This is the story of the Pope's | :24:16. | :24:21. | |
letters to his closest female Pope John Paul II was writing | :24:22. | :24:24. | |
to a married woman, When you've got a strongly | :24:25. | :24:32. | |

that is cultivated and which engages mind at a high level of intensity, | :24:39. | :24:42. | |

Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka to join him and others on country walks, | :25:02. | :25:08. | |
skiing holidays, even camping trips. Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka invited | :25:09. | :25:11. | |
the then cardinal to stay with her family at their country | :25:12. | :25:15. | |
home in New England in 1976. After the trip, his letters suggest | :25:16. | :25:19. | |
a man struggling to make sense of their friendship | :25:20. | :25:23. | |
in Christian terms. One from 1976 says, "my dear Teresa, | :25:24. | :25:25. | |
I have received all three letters. You write about being torn apart | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
but I could find no answer Later, his letters looked back | :25:31. | :25:34. | |
to that trip to New England like this one, saying, "I'm thinking | :25:35. | :25:41. | |
about you and in my thoughts I..." Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka's letters | :25:42. | :25:47. | |
are not publicly available. I do believe she fell completely | :25:48. | :25:50. | |
fell in love with him during the first phase | :25:51. | :25:54. | |
of their relationship. I think it's completely reflectd | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
in the correspondence. Tymieniecka's role in his life has | :25:59. | :26:08. | |
until now remained largely hidden. There is no suggestion | :26:09. | :26:11. | |
that the Pope, now Saint John Paul II, broke any vow of celebacy, | :26:12. | :26:14. | |

on BBC One, tonight at 8.30. Now it's time for a look | :26:32. | :26:35. | |
at the weather with Louise Lear. We are going to see all faces of | :26:36. | :26:45. | |
February this week. It was a cold start this morning. A beautiful | :26:46. | :26:48. | |
picture in south-east Wales sent in by one of our weather-watchers. West | :26:49. | :26:53. | |
was definitely best today in terms of the sunshine. We have had this | :26:54. | :26:57. | |
rash of shower cloud filtering in off the North Sea and some of the | :26:58. | :27:04. | |
showers have had a wintry flavour. Most of the showers should start to | :27:05. | :27:08. | |
fade away over the next few hours, high pressure dominating through the | :27:09. | :27:13. | |
night. Clear skies, patchy freezing fog likely across perhaps the far | :27:14. | :27:17. | |
south-east, but wind and rain gathers into the north-west, a | :27:18. | :27:20. | |
different story here. Staying frost free to the extreme north-west, a | :27:21. | :27:24. | |
hard frost is likely though elsewhere, as temperatures could | :27:25. | :27:30. | |
fall down to minus six or seven. It will be a glorious start to the | :27:31. | :27:39. | |
day despite the frost. Lovely spells of sunshine. The cloud, wind and | :27:40. | :27:43. | |
rain gathers though. It's a slow-moving frontal system. It could | :27:44. | :27:48. | |
bring gales into the afternoon and a couple of inches of rainfall in | :27:49. | :27:53. | |
northern Scotland and Northern Ireland. As we move into Wednesday, | :27:54. | :27:57. | |
we have this cold air that's been dominating. The weather front trying | :27:58. | :28:02. | |
to squeeze in, introducing milder air, but behind it, more cold air | :28:03. | :28:05. | |
knocking on the door. All this means we are going to see some rain. But | :28:06. | :28:09. | |
the question is, will we see some snow? Potentially to higher ground | :28:10. | :28:15. | |
across the southern uplands through the peeks and Pennines, maybe a | :28:16. | :28:20. | |
light dusting but we'll keep an eye on the weather on Wednesday. However | :28:21. | :28:24. | |
you look at it, the weather front underneath that cloud and snow, it | :28:25. | :28:28. | |
will be a particularly miserable Wednesday I'm afraid. | :28:29. | :28:40. | |
