investigated properly - now a new warning | :00:07. | :00:08. | |

Hello and welcome to the BBC News at 6. | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
Managers at a mental health trust where hundreds of deaths were not | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
properly investigated are under even more pressure tonight. | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
The NHS watchdog, the Care Quality Commission, | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
has issued a warning about the standard of | :01:50. | :01:51. | |
The trust has previously apologised for failings and said | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
Despite calls for her resignation, the trust's chief executive has said | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
It has been described as a scandal at the heart of the big NHS Trust. | :02:03. | :02:19. | |
Resulting in unexpected deaths going unexplained, lessons not being | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
learned. A report leaked to the BBC blamed the failure of leadership. | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
Read families were left to confront bosses that Southern Health NHS | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
Foundation Trust themselves. I think it was extremely inappropriate when | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
you said you have may be added to the grief of our family. You all | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
have. Myself, all of us are incredibly sorry. Today came the | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
verdict, from the health service watchdogs. The Care Quality | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
Commission said Southern Health had failed to mitigate against | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
significant risks in the past and failed to adequately ensure it | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
learned from incidents to reduce future risks to patients. The NHS | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
regulator said it would alter the trust's operating licence, to allow | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
management changes, should it not take rapid action. Southern Health | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
says it's improved the investigation of deaths and families are now more | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
involved. But despite tremendous pressure, the chief executive of the | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
trust is staying. My job as the chief executive is to make the | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
improvements we need to make, to provide stable and consistent | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
leadership to our staff, to our doctors and nurses who come in every | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
day and that is the job I am continuing to do. So you will not | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
resign? No. This all-star did with the case of Connor Sparrowhawk. He | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
suffered a seizure and round in a bath at a Southern Health hospital. | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
Despite his epilepsy and learning difficulties, he had been left | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
alone. His mother's here has been compounded by the lack of any | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
resignations. It's almost like broad board and Chief Executive 's are | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
stopping any improvements because the top is so toxic, the | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
improvements aren't happening. It is not rocket science what should | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
happen. And at this stage, with another failing inspection report, | :04:11. | :04:17. | |
they should go and why they haven't is a mystery to us. Today health | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
inspectors went out of their way to point out that this trust only took | :04:23. | :04:28. | |
action when they arrived to examine its failures, months after it was | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
first alerted to the problems. The full inspection report is not going | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
to be published until the end of the month and it will make difficult | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
reading here, but this whole scandal has prompted the government to take | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
another look at the way in which deaths in the health service are | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
investigated. The government in England and Wales is promising | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
better investigations, less of a blame culture and help the people | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
who blow the whistle and report mistakes. People will want to say | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
that come to pass. And the human cost of all of this is clear, the | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
families involved in the scandal here want to see big changes and | :05:07. | :05:08. | |
resignations. For some days now the hopes | :05:09. | :05:09. | |
of Tata Steel's workers have rested on Sanjeev Gupta, | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
the Indian businessman who says he has plans to make | :05:15. | :05:16. | |
the plants profitable. But in an interview with the BBC | :05:17. | :05:18. | |
Mr Gupta has admitted that his proposal has been written | :05:19. | :05:20. | |
"on the back of an Hywell Griffith spoke to him earlier | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
and he joins us now. It really does sound like it is far | :05:24. | :05:38. | |
from the fully formed proposal? Yes, I think we have to remember the for | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
sale signs have not even gone up yet on Tata Steel. There has any been a | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
week for any prospective buyer to look at this but so far the only | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
name to go out there publicly is Liberty. They would be taking on | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
huge, much bigger enterprise, including Port Talbot. But when I | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
caught up with Sanjeev Gupta earlier this afternoon, he admitted to me | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
that he didn't know exactly what he would be buying. | :06:05. | :06:06. | |
It's just being done on the back of an envelope, | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
We have no engagement, so we don't have any access | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
So what you've done so far is a back of the envelope calculation? | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
We have plenty of friends in the industry and we have | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
colleagues and ex-Tata people who have joined us, | :06:24. | :06:25. | |
some of the very senior ex-Tata people who have joined us recently, | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
so they have the information at hand. | :06:29. | :06:30. | |
Have you been on the ground at Port Talbot and seen how it works? | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
No, I've been passed that many, many, many times | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
This came as a complete surprise to me. | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
When it's happened it was a complete surprise. | :06:42. | :06:43. | |
It's a very daunting proposition, I'm not | :06:44. | :06:44. | |
That may not fill Tata Steel workers with confidence. Some I have been | :06:45. | :06:57. | |
speaking to a very hopeful Liberty are not the only horses in the race. | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
Drain is he expects others to come forward in time. We learned a bit | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
more today about what the sale process will be, Tata Steel and mum | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
by telling Mr Gupta they will put that sale document out there by | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
Monday, after that it is a matter of a few weeks for them to narrow down | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
their short list of potential buyers, to see if anyone in the end | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
will take over Britain's steel-making industry. Thank you. | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
The frontrunner for the Republican US presidential nomination, | :07:24. | :07:25. | |
Donald Trump, has suffered a heavy defeat in the latest | :07:26. | :07:27. | |
He was beaten into second place by the Texan senator, Ted Cruz, | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
who called his victory a "decisive turning point". | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
In the Democratic race, Bernie Sanders scored a strong | :07:37. | :07:38. | |
Our North America Editor, Jon Sopel, explains. | :07:39. | :07:53. | |
Last night was a turning point in the race... Good morning Milwaukee, | :07:54. | :08:02. | |
after a dramatic night in the Republican race. Donald Trump beaten | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
and conservative talk radio hosts like Charlie are delighted. The | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
thing about Donald Trump, not only does the act like a 12-year-old | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
bully in the playground, he is a remarkably thin-skinned individual | :08:17. | :08:18. | |
who runs away from the verdict of the voters. This visit to a diner | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
yesterday morning was the last that the scene of Donald Trump in | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
Wisconsin. He held no party, no news conference, nothing last night. A | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
man who has been ever present on TV screens went to ground. His campaign | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
issuing a terse statement saying Ted Cruz is worse than a puppet. He is a | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
Trojan horse being used by the party bosses attempting to steal the | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
nomination from Donald Trump. Donald Trump is the only candidate who can | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
secure the delegates needed to win the Republican nomination. But try | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
telling that to the victor, the Conservative evangelical from Texas, | :08:55. | :09:02. | |
Ted Cruz. He is massively preferred to Mr Trump and they are piling in | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
behind him. Last night a win for him, a win for them. Tonight is a | :09:07. | :09:13. | |
turning point. It is a rallying cry. It is a call from the hard-working | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
men and women of Wisconsin to the people of America. We have a choice, | :09:19. | :09:26. | |
a real choice. This is a significant victory for Ted Cruz because it | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
means there are now on those certainties in the Republican race. | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
Yes, Donald Trump is way out in front, but having spent nine months | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
to find political gravity, tonight he has come back to earth with a | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
bump, to the delight of the people in this room and a good many in the | :09:42. | :09:48. | |
Republican establishment. Because what they have right now is a | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
brokered convention, lasting a 1952. The candidate chosen by arm-twisting | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
and backroom deals. The Republican grandees the last chance to stop | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
Trump. At this summer's convention takes place in the hall where the | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
first Republican debate took place last August but Donald Trump isn't | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
going to go without a fight. It could be a bloody battle for the | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
nomination, for the soul of the Republican party. Jon Sopel, BBC | :10:14. | :10:16. | |
News, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Junior doctors in England | :10:17. | :10:18. | |
are staging their fourth walkout, Emergency cover is being provided | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
over the next 48 hours, but it's thought that as many | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
as 5,000 routine operations NHS England said the continued | :10:25. | :10:27. | |
disruption was 'deeply regrettable'. The British Medical Association says | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
the proposed working conditions The jury at the inquests | :10:33. | :10:34. | |
into the deaths of 96 Liverpool football fans at the Hillsborough | :10:35. | :10:42. | |
disaster has retired to consider its conclusions | :10:43. | :10:44. | |
after hearing two years of evidence. The jury are being asked to decide | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
if the fans were unlawfully killed in the crush | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
at the stadium in April 1989. The hearings are the longest-running | :10:54. | :10:55. | |
inquests in British legal history. Our correspondent Judith Moritz | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
who's been following events Judith, I guess it is a long time | :11:00. | :11:14. | |
coming, but an important moment? Hugely important for everybody here | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
at court. Why has it taken so long? The jury here have heard from more | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
than 500 witnesses. They have seen more than 4000 documents. Now they | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
have the task of piecing together a new narrative about what happened at | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
Hillsborough. These are the second set of inquest after the first | :11:35. | :11:37. | |
verdicts were quashed. The jurors have been given this questionnaire. | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
They will go through it now? Question. There are 14 sections in | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
here. Among the questions they have to answer, the issue of if the 96 | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
Liverpool fans were unlawfully killed. They were told here by the | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
coroner that if they answer yes, they have to be sure that the match | :11:55. | :12:01. | |
commander, David Duckenfield was guilty of manslaughter by gross | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
negligence. There are a range of other questions in here dealing with | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
organisations place, Yorkshire police, the Ambulance Service and | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
Sheffield Wednesday football club. And about whether the fans behaviour | :12:14. | :12:19. | |
contributed to the situation outside the ground. The coroner told the | :12:20. | :12:22. | |
jury today as they retired they had to work together in the interests of | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
justice. The families say it is the beginning of the end of the process | :12:27. | :12:29. | |
for them. Judith, thank you very much. | :12:30. | :12:31. | |
All 27 million households in the country are to receive | :12:32. | :12:33. | |
a leaflet setting out the government's arguments | :12:34. | :12:35. | |
An exercise that will cost the taxpayer over ?9 million. James | :12:36. | :12:45. | |
Landale has been looking at the document before it's distributed. | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
In the next few weeks postmen and women up and down the country will | :12:51. | :12:56. | |
come to your front door and deliver not just the usual parcels and | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
letters, but also one of these, a 14 page leaflet setting out the | :13:02. | :13:04. | |
government's case for Britain staying in the European Union and | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
what it sees as the risks of pulling out. It's important that people do | :13:09. | :13:14. | |
understand what the government research shows, what the | :13:15. | :13:17. | |
government's information shows, so they can use that to make their own | :13:18. | :13:23. | |
decision. In all the leaflet will land on 27 million doorsteps. It | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
will also be advertised across social media, an exercise which will | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
cost some ?9.3 million. It's not without precedent. In 1975, during | :13:32. | :13:38. | |
the referendum on Britain's membership of the European | :13:39. | :13:41. | |
Community, the government put out a similarly flat, although that | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
contained a picture of the then Prime Minister Harold Wilson. | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
Today's leaflet is rather different. No David Cameron, no politicians at | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
all, just arguments claiming the shock of leaving the EU would raise | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
prices and lead to a decade of uncertainty. This leaflet is | :13:59. | :14:01. | |
designed to respond to what people in their see as the growing public | :14:02. | :14:06. | |
appetite for more facts about the EU referendum. But | :14:07. | :14:27. | |
these are just the government's facts and they are facts they want | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
to get direct to the voter, not through the prism of the media. | :14:32. | :14:33. | |
Those campaigning for the other side don't have the government machine | :14:34. | :14:36. | |
making their case and many argue it is unfair for number ten to use the | :14:37. | :14:39. | |
full resources of Whitehall to make the case for a main. We should not | :14:40. | :14:41. | |
see our money spent on propaganda, particularly when we had ?350 | :14:42. | :14:43. | |
million a week to Brussels. Campaigns in this referendum will | :14:44. | :14:46. | |
get their chance of a free mail drop at some stage until then the | :14:47. | :14:48. | |

The millions of pounds leaving China to buy up properties | :15:25. | :15:36. | |
Leaked files from the secretive Panamanian law firm, | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
Mossack Fonseca, show the link between China's ruling elite | :15:41. | :15:42. | |
and millions of pounds worth of investment into UK property. | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
Almost one third of the law firm's business comes from its offices | :15:48. | :15:50. | |
in Hong Kong and China - making China its biggest market. | :15:51. | :15:53. | |
These files show the staggering amounts of cash leaving China, | :15:54. | :15:55. | |
a move that is undermining China's fragile economy, while flooding | :15:56. | :15:58. | |
And the UK property market is not the only way that money is leaving | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
China as our correspondent, Celia Hatton, reports. | :16:03. | :16:04. | |
They're desperate to keep their money safe. Many are anxious to | :16:05. | :16:11. | |
smuggle their wealth out of China, away from the country's fragile | :16:12. | :16:17. | |
economy. I met a man who works as a money mule, carrying cash from China | :16:18. | :16:19. | |
to Hong Kong. TRANSLATION: I strap the money to my | :16:20. | :16:33. | |
body or carry a small bag. They target those with lots of luggage or | :16:34. | :16:40. | |
who are nervous. Even the Chinese elite are keeping their money | :16:41. | :16:45. | |
offshore. We showed you leaked files from Mossack Fonseca that revealed | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
how the relatives of China's leaders use off shore companies. Now we have | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
learned China is the firm's biggest market. Mossack Fonseca manages more | :16:55. | :17:01. | |
than 16,000 offshore companies created through its Chinese offices. | :17:02. | :17:08. | |
It is not just people tied to the leadership, people are moving out of | :17:09. | :17:12. | |
China on a scale never seen before and much of that money passes | :17:13. | :17:21. | |
through Hong Kong. Then the money has to go somewhere and is often | :17:22. | :17:28. | |
parked in real estate. Much of it in the UK. This woman works for a | :17:29. | :17:39. | |
company that lists companies abroad. In the UK, typically London is | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
popular, just in the last quarter we have seen Brighton has seen a 700% | :17:45. | :17:53. | |
increase in popularity. Every Chinese citizen can transfer ?35,000 | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
a year out side the country. Any more must be moved illegally. But | :17:59. | :18:07. | |
for nose who want to hide their wealth, money smuggling is a | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
necessary risk. The outflow of capital is something the Chinese | :18:13. | :18:15. | |
government is unhappy about and they want to contain it. They're aware of | :18:16. | :18:21. | |
the scale of it. But the facts that they are giving it a fair bit of | :18:22. | :18:26. | |
priority and yet the scale of problem remains so large means | :18:27. | :18:32. | |
they're not entirely on top of it. Across Hong Kong it is common to see | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
visitors from mainland China smashing out in shops. Think of it | :18:38. | :18:46. | |
as a similar poll for what -- symbol for what is happening around the | :18:47. | :18:49. | |
globe. Chinese leaders are spending their money elsewhere. They're | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
protecting themselves, but making China more vulnerable. | :18:55. | :18:57. | |

40-year-old Asad Shah was discovered seriously injured | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
outside his shop two weeks ago - he was pronounced dead in hospital. | :19:25. | :19:30. | |
The accused - Tanveer Ahmed - has been remanded in custody | :19:31. | :19:32. | |
Live now to our Correspondent, Lorna Gordon, in Glasgow. | :19:33. | :19:40. | |
What more can you tell us about this? Well 32-year-old Tanveer Ahmed | :19:41. | :19:53. | |
from Bradford in an appearance in court admitted he killed Asad Shah | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
and in an up usual move he gave his reasons for doing so. In a statement | :19:59. | :20:02. | |
issued through his lawyer, he said he carried out the killing because | :20:03. | :20:09. | |
he believed Mr Shah had disrespected the Messenger of Islam. He denied | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
the incident had anything to do with Christianity. He claimed if he had | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
not killed Mr Shah there would be be more killing and violence in the | :20:19. | :20:25. | |
world. During the police investigation officers claimed the | :20:26. | :20:30. | |
incident was religiously prejudiced and confirmed both men were Muslims. | :20:31. | :20:35. | |
Mr Shah was a popular man and hundreds attended a vigil for him. | :20:36. | :20:43. | |
Tanveer Ahmed made no plea, he was remanded in custody, no date has | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
been set for his trial. Thank you. A fresh debate has opened up | :20:48. | :20:51. | |
on Northern Ireland's abortion laws, after a woman was prosecuted | :20:52. | :20:54. | |
for taking pills to The law on the termination | :20:55. | :20:56. | |
of pregnancy is much more strict in Northern Ireland | :20:57. | :20:59. | |
than the rest of the UK. We speak - anonymously - | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
to another woman who has taken As our Ireland Correspondent | :21:04. | :21:05. | |
Chris Page reports. There is no issue in Northern | :21:06. | :21:15. | |
Ireland more controversial than abaring. This -- abortion. This | :21:16. | :21:20. | |
woman has spoken to us about her experience. She took pills to have a | :21:21. | :21:32. | |
miscarriage. I have done nothing wrong. I'm afraid for this young | :21:33. | :21:36. | |
mother who has been taken through the courts. That is criminal. This | :21:37. | :21:43. | |
what is like what was going on in the 1880s. The woman who was | :21:44. | :21:50. | |
prosecuted about about 11 months pregnant. The court heard she could | :21:51. | :21:57. | |
not raise enough money to go to England for a lawful abaring. | :21:58. | :22:04. | |
Bortion, the judge give her a suspended sentence. I would fear the | :22:05. | :22:12. | |
judge undermined the law. This antiabortion campaigner thinking the | :22:13. | :22:16. | |
punishment should be stronger. I think it is important that Northern | :22:17. | :22:21. | |
Ireland continues to be a light for the rest of the UK. There are many | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
women's lives destroyed in the United Kingdom, because of abortion. | :22:26. | :22:32. | |
And the denial of human rights of 200,000 babies a year is a tragedy. | :22:33. | :22:37. | |
There have been cases here at the High Court in Belfast examining how | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
the legislation should be interpreted and whether the law | :22:43. | :22:46. | |
should be changed. But in Northern Ireland, abortion remains basically | :22:47. | :22:53. | |
illegal, with just a few exceptions. The Stormont justice minister tried | :22:54. | :22:58. | |
to legalise cases where there is an abnormality. He thinks there could | :22:59. | :23:02. | |
be a change after the elections to the Assembly. The reality is we | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
cannot continue to assume that people catching planes to England | :23:08. | :23:10. | |
will solve the problems of Northern Ireland. Safe and legal abortion... | :23:11. | :23:16. | |
Limited changes have been talked about, but none of main political | :23:17. | :23:20. | |
parties are in favour of bringing the law into line with the rest of | :23:21. | :23:26. | |
the UK. Events like the recent prosecution generate strong feelings | :23:27. | :23:28. | |
on both sides of the debate. From today, all dogs will have | :23:29. | :23:36. | |
to have be microchipped by the time If they're not, | :23:37. | :23:39. | |
their owners could be It's thought that around a million | :23:40. | :23:42. | |
dogs - about one in eight - This is the dog's trust in Salisbury | :23:43. | :23:56. | |
and I'm with Findlay, who is nine months old. He has a microchip. | :23:57. | :24:01. | |
Unlike a million other dogs in Britain. From today the law changes | :24:02. | :24:06. | |
and any dog over eight weeks old must have a microchip. If their | :24:07. | :24:11. | |
owner does not, then they could face a very hefty fine. If you have a | :24:12. | :24:19. | |
dog, you must now have one of these. It is a microchip that dogs like | :24:20. | :24:28. | |
Chilly will have implanted. From today, no chip could mean no change | :24:29. | :24:35. | |
from a ?500 fine. It won't hurt? No. They're injected into the dog's neck | :24:36. | :24:41. | |
giving them a unique code that can help trace them. If she is found, | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
she will be brought back to the correct owner. So no problem with | :24:47. | :24:52. | |
that. Dogs' homes are reporting a rush by owners to beat the deadline. | :24:53. | :24:59. | |
Jake is a seven-year-olds greyhound, he is still looking for a home. He | :25:00. | :25:03. | |
has a microchip, but around a million dogs in Britain don't. The | :25:04. | :25:07. | |
law is aimed at persuading their owners to get one. Microchips work. | :25:08. | :25:14. | |
Andy had Murphy stolen from his home in Bradford. There was heartache for | :25:15. | :25:20. | |
the three months he was missing. The longest three month of my life. I | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
couldn't sleep. I wouldn't have got him back without the microchip. His | :25:25. | :25:27. | |
face was recognised all over the country. But it is that proof that | :25:28. | :25:34. | |
he is microchiped to me with my name and address and telephone number. So | :25:35. | :25:41. | |
it is vital. One aim of microchiping is to tackle dangerous dogs faced by | :25:42. | :25:45. | |
police in London. It may be hard getting some owners to comply. We | :25:46. | :25:52. | |
hope the fine will encourage people to do the right thing. The fine this | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
to discourage them from maybe losing track of their dog. Chilly has now | :25:58. | :26:05. | |
been chipped. Well done. One of eight million dogs under a new law | :26:06. | :26:09. | |
that encourages owners to be responsible and their pets | :26:10. | :26:16. | |
traceable. Now the weather with Thomas. Another day for the | :26:17. | :26:24. | |
umbrellas. Some heavy showers and thunder and lightning. Northern | :26:25. | :26:30. | |
Ireland has been where we have had some heavy ones. Sometimes showers | :26:31. | :26:33. | |
die away during the evening and we are left with a clear night. But not | :26:34. | :26:42. | |
the xas. -- case. There is plenty of showers being brought in by that | :26:43. | :26:46. | |
strong north-westerly weather. It won't be raining every where. And | :26:47. | :26:51. | |
this front is going to upset the weather from Northern Ireland around | :26:52. | :26:55. | |
the north-west of England and Wales through tomorrow morning and for | :26:56. | :27:00. | |
some of us in the south it will be cloudy with some rain. But I think | :27:01. | :27:05. | |
the heaviest of the showers tomorrow, those on and off bursts in | :27:06. | :27:09. | |
eastern areas. Here is a look at Friday. There will be some sunshine. | :27:10. | :27:14. | |
For most the weather will calm down on Friday. But still showers, | :27:15. | :27:20. | |
particularly eastern areas. You can't miss this front, rain for | :27:21. | :27:28. | |
Belfast later. Many of us on Friday night will get rain and this low | :27:29. | :27:32. | |
pressure will be sitting just to the south-west of us, not just through | :27:33. | :27:38. | |
this weekend, but into next week and the weather will be not the same | :27:39. | :27:43. | |
every day, but it won't be particularly cold or mild and be | :27:44. | :27:46. | |
prepared for some rain from time to time. Here is the summary for the | :27:47. | :27:50. | |
weekend. Mixture of sunshine and showers. That is the main point of | :27:51. | :27:54. | |
the forecast. | :27:55. | :27:58. |
