:00:00. > :00:00.A new warning on the economic costs of Britain leaving

:00:07. > :00:19.says it could cause severe damage to the global economy.

:00:20. > :00:24.This is the clearest independent warning of the taste of things to

:00:25. > :00:28.come if we leave the youth. I think we are much better off if we stay in

:00:29. > :00:36.the UN we make written stronger, safer and better off.

:00:37. > :00:37.Leave campaigners say the organisation has

:00:38. > :00:46.This is a matter of opinion, the IMF is often wrong, as it has been in

:00:47. > :00:48.the past, in the opinions it has offered.

:00:49. > :00:51.We'll be looking at just how credible the IMF warning is.

:01:29. > :01:31.of the Royal tour to spend time And coming up in the

:01:32. > :01:34.sport on BBC News. England cricketer James Taylor

:01:35. > :01:36.is forced to retire because of a previously

:01:37. > :01:38.undetected heart condition. He says it's been the toughest

:01:39. > :01:55.week of his life. Good evening and welcome

:01:56. > :02:03.to the BBC News at Six. The International Monetary Fund

:02:04. > :02:06.is warning that there would be severe damage to the global economy

:02:07. > :02:08.and uncertainty here if UK left George Osborne described the IMF

:02:09. > :02:12.report as a stark warning. But those campaigning for Britain

:02:13. > :02:14.to leave the EU says the organisation's forecasts

:02:15. > :02:16.have been wrong before Here's our economics editor

:02:17. > :02:27.Kamal Ahmed. VOICEOVER: It is certainly a gloomy

:02:28. > :02:30.cocktail, weakening global growth, economic outlook diminished, further

:02:31. > :02:34.financial turmoil on the markets and for the UK, an extra risk, the

:02:35. > :02:40.decision to leave the European Union could do severe regional and global

:02:41. > :02:45.damage. The IMF is not pulling its punches. It would create a lot of

:02:46. > :02:48.uncertainty, we already see the uncertainty about the referendum

:02:49. > :02:58.result, weighing upon the UK economy. And vote to leave would set

:02:59. > :03:01.off a process of a lengthy divorce, two years, with very uncertain

:03:02. > :03:05.settlement at the end. Despite the IMF downgrading the UK growth

:03:06. > :03:11.forecast, the government welcomed today's report, the worse the

:03:12. > :03:14.economic news, the better chance the government believes it has in

:03:15. > :03:18.persuading voters to stick with the European Union. Today we have a

:03:19. > :03:22.stark warning from the IMF, for the first time they are saying that

:03:23. > :03:26.threat of Britain leaving the is having an impact on the economy and

:03:27. > :03:31.they have cut growth forecast as a result, they say that if we were to

:03:32. > :03:36.leave the EU, short-term impact on stability, and a long-term cost to

:03:37. > :03:39.the economy. It is the clearest independent warning of the taste of

:03:40. > :03:44.things to come if we leave the EU, we are much better off staying in

:03:45. > :03:47.the EU, that would make Britain stronger, safer and better off. The

:03:48. > :03:53.Treasury certainly thinks this is a key moment. The IMF warning comes in

:03:54. > :03:58.three major parts: it warns that sterling could lose its value, that

:03:59. > :04:02.is not so good for holidays, but could be good for exports. It warns

:04:03. > :04:05.that there could be a return of market volatility, which could mean

:04:06. > :04:11.that pensions and savings investments are affected. It also

:04:12. > :04:17.warns that trade could be disrupted, and of course, the EU is our most

:04:18. > :04:20.important trading partner. Whatever the IMF warns, there is plenty of

:04:21. > :04:26.people who disagree fundamentally with their analysis. The IMF is an

:04:27. > :04:30.important organisation but it is very closely connected to the

:04:31. > :04:34.European Union, its managing director, former French finance

:04:35. > :04:38.minister. Bound to reflect their views. At the end of the day this is

:04:39. > :04:42.a matter of opinion, the IMF is often, like other institutions,

:04:43. > :04:45.wrong in the forecasts and the opinions it has offered. Don't

:04:46. > :04:51.forget, just a couple of years ago, George Osborne had a spat with the

:04:52. > :04:55.IMF over his gloomy forecasts for the UK economy. -- it's gloomy

:04:56. > :05:01.forecasts. He demanded that they revise them and rethink them. They

:05:02. > :05:04.are not they are not always right. Would economic uncertainty give way

:05:05. > :05:09.to a brighter future? Those who support exit believe that it would.

:05:10. > :05:13.There would be a fairly short period of uncertainty, some things will

:05:14. > :05:16.change, there will be losers and winners, but before very long, that

:05:17. > :05:20.will give way to a very different world indeed, in which Britain can

:05:21. > :05:23.take advantage of being outside of the European Union, this is what the

:05:24. > :05:27.IMF does not seem to have focused upon. Next week sees the arrival in

:05:28. > :05:32.Britain of this man, president Barack Obama, likely to deliver

:05:33. > :05:37.another warning on leaving the EU. He should be well aware of the views

:05:38. > :05:41.of the IMF, its chief economist used to be his key economic adviser.

:05:42. > :05:53.STUDIO: We can speak to our Political Editor Laura Kuenssberg in

:05:54. > :05:57.Downing Street. We have heard this before, does this matter anymore? It

:05:58. > :06:02.is what has been anticipated and hope for here for some time, an

:06:03. > :06:06.official thumbs down to the idea of leaving the EU, from a group of

:06:07. > :06:12.independent August number crunchers, with a respected organisation. All

:06:13. > :06:16.of the choice of leaving or staying in the European Union to be about

:06:17. > :06:19.hops, according to this, and the terms of the warning are not just

:06:20. > :06:25.sounding bells about jitters and uncertainty but of potentially

:06:26. > :06:28.severe damage, and it is a warning that we will hear again and again

:06:29. > :06:37.and again. What effect will this morning have on the entire campaign.

:06:38. > :06:42.Those trying to persuade us to leave the EU say it is another instalment

:06:43. > :06:46.in the horror movie of "Project Fear", put forward by Downing Street

:06:47. > :06:50.to try to scare us into staying, it is much more difficult to them to

:06:51. > :06:56.chuck that accusation at the IMF then it is for them to chuck it out

:06:57. > :07:00.fellow politicians. By the same token, the IMF has been wrong

:07:01. > :07:05.before, and about rather a lot, and not all voters like being told what

:07:06. > :07:06.to do, not least by a group of remote academics, making

:07:07. > :07:12.pronouncements about the world economies. The terms of this

:07:13. > :07:16.morning, how severe it is, is something that the in campaign is

:07:17. > :07:21.very pleased about, and a challenge that those that want to persuade us

:07:22. > :07:28.to go for British exit are going to find it difficult to counter.

:07:29. > :07:29.And there's more about the EU referendum,

:07:30. > :07:31.and the facts behind the arguments on both sides,

:07:32. > :07:38.A memorial service has been held at Westminster Abbey to remember

:07:39. > :07:41.the British tourists killed in last year's terror attacks in Tunisia.

:07:42. > :07:43.Thirty Britons died when a gunman opened fire at the beach resort

:07:44. > :07:46.of Sousse while another person was killed in the earlier attack

:07:47. > :08:05.Our Special Correspondent Lucy Manning reports.

:08:06. > :08:13.They are mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters, husbands, and wives,

:08:14. > :08:18.many on the beach sunbathing, when they were murdered. They had just

:08:19. > :08:21.been on holiday. -- there are mothers, fathers, brothers and

:08:22. > :08:26.sisters, husbands and wives. I remember them everyday, now, today,

:08:27. > :08:30.the families who have lost so much joined together. Rinse Harry, with

:08:31. > :08:35.the Prime Minister watching, laid a wreath at the memorial for innocent

:08:36. > :08:52.victims, and one by one, the names of those who did not come home

:08:53. > :08:57.echoed around the Abbey. Scott Alexander Chalkley.

:08:58. > :09:09.Colin Fulford was at the Memorial, to represent his mother, Sue Davy.

:09:10. > :09:14.Do my mother proud, walk down with a candle, dress up, look smart, be a

:09:15. > :09:18.representation of her, because that is what she would have wanted us to

:09:19. > :09:23.do. I had a little cry, it was a lovely service, but I was wondering,

:09:24. > :09:28.how can a candle represent my mother, such a big personality, such

:09:29. > :09:32.a strong character. Nearly one year on, it is so clear that you still

:09:33. > :09:37.really miss your mother. Some nights I sit there and I think, why? Why is

:09:38. > :09:41.it my mother. I'm never going to speak with her again. My mother is

:09:42. > :09:47.never going to walk through the door and say, good morning... It is hard

:09:48. > :09:54.sometimes when you are at home and people are saying, you see Brussels,

:09:55. > :09:58.you see Paris, it brings it all back, but really, when they ask

:09:59. > :10:01.that, it doesn't bring anything back because it is already there, it has

:10:02. > :10:05.never really gone, forming. Those who were injured and those who

:10:06. > :10:09.escape from the beach were also at the service, to friends who ran

:10:10. > :10:16.after the shooting started. We were so lucky to have come home, and for

:10:17. > :10:22.us to be able to be there, and think about those that did not come home.

:10:23. > :10:27.That was lovely, for us, to be able to do that. The family who lost

:10:28. > :10:31.three generations, the couple enjoying their wedding anniversary,

:10:32. > :10:34.the mother celebrating her 50th birthday. Families destroyed by

:10:35. > :10:40.terror. Large multi-national companies

:10:41. > :10:42.could be forced to be more transparent about their tax affairs

:10:43. > :10:44.under draft legislation The new rules would require large

:10:45. > :10:48.companies to open their accounts to greater public scrutiny

:10:49. > :10:50.as part of a drive to Our Political Correspondent Alex

:10:51. > :11:04.Forsyth is in Brussels. What is driving this, at the EU

:11:05. > :11:08.level? The thinking behind this is that if big businesses must open

:11:09. > :11:12.their books to the public, they will be less inclined to move profits

:11:13. > :11:13.around to avoid tax, so if the law is passed, it

:11:14. > :11:19.will mean any company which operates in the EU, and has annual sales of

:11:20. > :11:23.more than ?600 million will have to publish details of activities in

:11:24. > :11:28.each EU country, along with profits that it makes and tax that it pays

:11:29. > :11:32.and it will have to do the same if it operates in tax havens.

:11:33. > :11:35.Campaigners say it is a good idea but does not go far enough, some

:11:36. > :11:39.businesses say that publishing too much information could be

:11:40. > :11:44.commercially damaging. In the wake of a leaked Panama papers, which

:11:45. > :11:48.exposed tax avoidance on a big scale, EU leaders want to be seen to

:11:49. > :11:50.be doing something, they say that shining a spotlight on big

:11:51. > :11:54.businesses makes them more accountable to the public.

:11:55. > :11:56.The rate of inflation rose unexpectedly last month

:11:57. > :11:58.to its highest level in more than a year.

:11:59. > :12:01.The increase has been partly driven by higher air fares over

:12:02. > :12:04.The Office of National Statistics said the annual inflation rate

:12:05. > :12:12.rose to 0.5% last month, up from 0.3% in February.

:12:13. > :12:15.The Business Secretary Sajid Javid says he's looking at a series

:12:16. > :12:17.of options to help save the steel industry,

:12:18. > :12:19.including the possibility that British-made steel could be used

:12:20. > :12:23.He was speaking during a three-hour emergency debate on the crisis

:12:24. > :12:29.It accuses the government of incompetence.

:12:30. > :12:39.Our Wales Correspondent Hywel Griffith is at Port Talbot.

:12:40. > :12:44.Yes, there is a storm blowing in over the steelworks tonight, for a

:12:45. > :12:47.fortnight, workers have been bracing themselves for what the future might

:12:48. > :12:51.bring, today they were told that there is reason is to be cheerful,

:12:52. > :12:55.government will come invest with any buyer, and some buyers have been

:12:56. > :12:59.sending text messages to ministers. What workers tell me here is that

:13:00. > :13:03.they want an awful lot more detail, they are concerned some of the ideas

:13:04. > :13:05.being floated may turn out to be no more than hot air.

:13:06. > :13:12.VOICEOVER: After two full weeks of watching and waiting, are some of

:13:13. > :13:17.the clouds over Britain's steel industry beginning to lift? At Port

:13:18. > :13:22.Talbot docs cafe, they know all about seeing life Sunnyside up,

:13:23. > :13:24.there is optimism after the government said that they could come

:13:25. > :13:29.invest in the nearby works, even take on some of the debt. -- Docks

:13:30. > :13:32.Cafe. Watching today's emergency debate, this steelworker, Matthew,

:13:33. > :13:36.was hoping for more detail, there was a hint that the MoD would buy

:13:37. > :13:40.more British Steel, but it was the government under attack. There has

:13:41. > :13:44.been what can only be described as an ideological lead driven

:13:45. > :13:50.reluctance to get involved as the crisis has deepened, a mixture of

:13:51. > :13:54.indifference and incompetence. I am fighting for Britain's steel workers

:13:55. > :13:57.every hour of the day, I was fighting for them long before the

:13:58. > :14:03.crisis hit the headlines, I will go on fighting as long as it takes. Was

:14:04. > :14:10.Matthew convinced? For me there is more of a glimmer of hope now, than

:14:11. > :14:14.there was before. But if suppliers lose confidence in our ability to

:14:15. > :14:20.pay the bills, we will not get raw materials, and then the coca ovens

:14:21. > :14:26.will stop, and the furnaces. Four. And that will be the end. -- coke

:14:27. > :14:30.ovens. If production will bind to a halt, it would not just be Tata

:14:31. > :14:36.workers out of a job. -- and the furnaces will stop. This haulier has

:14:37. > :14:40.already cut 30 staff and 150 are on the line. It is the uncertainty of

:14:41. > :14:44.everything at this moment in time, as weeks blamed to the lads, we

:14:45. > :14:49.cannot look them in the eye and say, there is going to be a takeover and

:14:50. > :14:53.everything will find... -- as we explained to the lads. There is no

:14:54. > :14:58.doubt that having a huge steelworks in south Wales has the created

:14:59. > :15:01.decades of dependency, some question whether the government should keep

:15:02. > :15:05.that going. At the moment the plant is not making any money without even

:15:06. > :15:09.thinking about the pension deficit and cleaning costs, factor those

:15:10. > :15:14.elements into the rescue plan, it is very hard to see what kind of steel

:15:15. > :15:20.price, what kind of wages can be paid, to make the plan viable. So

:15:21. > :15:21.much hangs on the next few weeks of negotiations, the worrying and the

:15:22. > :15:27.waiting go on. The international monetary fund says

:15:28. > :15:31.UK leaving the European Union could cause severe damage

:15:32. > :15:38.to the global economy. That's what one

:15:39. > :15:43.council is debating. It's a massive night

:15:44. > :15:47.for Manchester city, a record crowd at the Etihad

:15:48. > :15:49.will hope their side can reach the Champions League

:15:50. > :16:05.semi-finals for a first time. It's the stuff of science fiction -

:16:06. > :16:08.a mission to a distant star, It may seem far-fetched,

:16:09. > :16:12.but the idea has the backing of none other than Professor Stephen

:16:13. > :16:16.Hawking. The key seems to be

:16:17. > :16:18.the size of the spacecraft. The smaller they are,

:16:19. > :16:20.the faster they could travel. The new project could see craft that

:16:21. > :16:24.are whittled down to the size Here's our science

:16:25. > :16:37.correspondent, Pallab Ghosh. For thousands of years, people have

:16:38. > :16:42.dreamed of one day travelling to distant stars.

:16:43. > :16:49.The world's most famous scientist Stephen Hawking, thinks that that

:16:50. > :16:54.day will come very soon. Astronomers believe there is a chance of an

:16:55. > :16:58.earth-like planet orbiting one of the stars in the Alpha Centauri

:16:59. > :17:02.system. There are no greater heights to aspire to than the stars.

:17:03. > :17:08.Technological developments in the last two decades and in the future

:17:09. > :17:12.make it in principle possible within a generation.

:17:13. > :17:20.So what are the sort of distances we are talking about? Already, a probe

:17:21. > :17:24.has been sent to Pluto. That is seven-and-a-half billion miles away.

:17:25. > :17:28.And Voyager I has reached the edge of the solar system, that is 18

:17:29. > :17:34.billion miles away. The plan is to send spacecraft to a star in another

:17:35. > :17:41.solar system. That is a staggering 25 trillion miles from earth. Using

:17:42. > :17:46.current technology, it would take a spacecraft 30,000 years to get to

:17:47. > :17:52.our closest star, but by making them smaller it could take 30. Over the

:17:53. > :17:58.years the size of spacecraft have shrunk, in the '80s this micro

:17:59. > :18:01.satellite was used for earth observation, in the '90s, this

:18:02. > :18:05.nano-satellite was launched for communications. The ultimate aim of

:18:06. > :18:10.the new research programme is to make them even smaller. To cram all

:18:11. > :18:17.the cameras and instruments you have in these, on to a single chip. The

:18:18. > :18:21.idea is to launch these mini-spacecraft into the earth's

:18:22. > :18:26.orbit. Each would have a solar sail. A giant laser on earth would give

:18:27. > :18:34.each one a powerful push, sending them on their way. Life on earth

:18:35. > :18:43.facings danger from astronomical events likes a roads or super Novas.

:18:44. > :18:48.If we are to survive that, we must ultimately go to stars. Here in

:18:49. > :18:52.Surrey where they pioneered the development of mini satellites 30

:18:53. > :18:56.years ago scientists believe it will be possible What we did back in the

:18:57. > :19:01.'80s was considered very whacky, maul satellites now are all the

:19:02. > :19:05.fashion. This is currently a whacky sounding idea but technologies have

:19:06. > :19:08.moved on. Now it is not just whacky, it is difficult. There is still a

:19:09. > :19:13.lot of work needed to develop the technology. But scientists believe

:19:14. > :19:18.that although it will be difficult, it won't be impossible. What was

:19:19. > :19:23.once a distant dream, could very soon become reality.

:19:24. > :19:26.For years now, health campaigners have been encouraging us to get off

:19:27. > :19:29.Jogging is one way, and organisations like Parkrun have

:19:30. > :19:32.got thousands of people to join timed runs around the park -

:19:33. > :19:37.Stoke Gifford Council in Gloucestershire is thinking

:19:38. > :19:50.Duncan Kennedy is at Little Stoke Park now.

:19:51. > :19:56.George, this is the park at the centre of this parkrun controversy.

:19:57. > :19:59.It has joggers upin arm, that is because the council is thinking

:20:00. > :20:04.about charging people for running round here. This place attracts

:20:05. > :20:08.round 300 people every weekend, 80,000 across the country, in 500

:20:09. > :20:12.location, this is the route locally and it is this that the council are

:20:13. > :20:16.considering charging people to run round. But parkrun say if you do

:20:17. > :20:20.that, it will kill this stone dead. They say parkrun is all about

:20:21. > :20:25.freedoms, volunteering, community, and if you bring in money and start

:20:26. > :20:28.charging people for it, it will disappear and all those 80,000

:20:29. > :20:34.people will put their trainers away and stay away. The council itself,

:20:35. > :20:37.the local council, which is Stoke Gifford says it has to charge people

:20:38. > :20:41.because non-runners are having to pay for the maintenance of the park,

:20:42. > :20:47.of the grass and it is not fair on them. The whole thing is voted on

:20:48. > :20:48.later on this evening and we will have an update later on BBC News as

:20:49. > :20:52.to which way it goes. It's just over three

:20:53. > :20:54.weeks until the elections The Labour Party was once

:20:55. > :20:58.the dominant force, but for a decade now it has been overshadowed

:20:59. > :21:01.by the SNP in the That's something its new leader,

:21:02. > :21:04.Kezia Dugdale, has vowed to change. In the first of our pieces ahead

:21:05. > :21:07.of the elections our Scotland Editor, Sarah Smith,

:21:08. > :21:20.has been talking to voters. ? No political candidates have come

:21:21. > :21:24.to disturb the practice sessions here, in years gone by Labour could

:21:25. > :21:27.have assumed the support of most people here, now, even people who

:21:28. > :21:32.voted Labour for generations say they are undecided. I was very very

:21:33. > :21:38.much in favour of the Labour Party at one time but Labour was for the

:21:39. > :21:43.working man. I don't know what it is nowadays, I mean, I feel it has got

:21:44. > :21:47.so mixed up. That is why Labour have come up with eye-catching policies

:21:48. > :21:51.that are obviously to the left of the SNP. A bold pledge to increase

:21:52. > :21:56.income taxes in Scotland is designed to try and win back traditional

:21:57. > :22:02.supporters. Would you be happy for somebody who would ask you to pay

:22:03. > :22:07.more tax? They should try and recoup some money from the people who can

:22:08. > :22:11.afford to pay it. I think so too. So policies do appeal. But people vote

:22:12. > :22:15.with their hearts as well as their heads. Perceptions matter as much as

:22:16. > :22:21.policies. And that is Labour's problem. Because the SNP were

:22:22. > :22:27.pushing forward Scotland, Scotland, Scotland, there was a lot of people

:22:28. > :22:33.got behind it. Because they felt patriotic to Scotland. Yet there is

:22:34. > :22:39.a desire to see a Labour resurgence, to challenge the SNP's dominance. I

:22:40. > :22:44.have faith in Labour and hope they will come back, because I think the

:22:45. > :22:51.SNP are making a lot of promises they will not be able to keep.

:22:52. > :22:56.In towns like Coatbridge in central Scotland plenty of voters do believe

:22:57. > :23:01.the SNP. It has an SNP MP. Where once this was the definition of a

:23:02. > :23:05.Labour heartland. The heavy string, coal and steel,

:23:06. > :23:09.that once dominated this part of Scotland, has been consigned to the

:23:10. > :23:13.museum of industrial heritage. Now, the fear from many in the Labour

:23:14. > :23:17.Party is that the days of Labour rule in Scotland could also be

:23:18. > :23:22.relegated to the history books. The party have moved significantly to

:23:23. > :23:25.the left, to try and win back some of their traditional supporters, but

:23:26. > :23:32.the independence referendum still casts a long shadow.

:23:33. > :23:39.Labour did not handle the whole constitutional question well. It

:23:40. > :23:42.took a rather sour, a rather approach to saying no to

:23:43. > :23:47.independence. And that is what I don't think voters remember. Not the

:23:48. > :23:50.decades of Labour dominance. In Scotland now, 16 and 17-year-olds

:23:51. > :23:55.can vote, which suits the SNP. Younger voters are far more likely

:23:56. > :24:02.to support them. Do you think you know what Labour stand for? No. Not

:24:03. > :24:06.at all. They spend a lot of time talking about what the SNP are doing

:24:07. > :24:11.and what their policies are and how it is bad, but I don't understand

:24:12. > :24:13.what Labour's policies are. Scottish Labour want people to

:24:14. > :24:19.understand they have changed. Quite substantially. But they won't win

:24:20. > :24:21.over young hearts or old heads if voters aren't listening to their

:24:22. > :24:24.promises. England and Nottinghamshire batsman

:24:25. > :24:26.James Taylor has been forced to retire at the age of 26

:24:27. > :24:29.after discovering he has a very Scans revealed his condition

:24:30. > :24:33.is similar to that of the former Bolton footballer Fabrice Muamba,

:24:34. > :24:35.who collapsed on the pitch in 2012. James Taylor says his world has

:24:36. > :24:44.been turned upside down. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge

:24:45. > :24:47.have visited a charity working with street children in India

:24:48. > :24:49.on the third day of They saw how the Salaam Baalak Trust

:24:50. > :24:58.provides support for Our Royal Correspondent Nicholas

:24:59. > :25:10.Witchell reports. This contains some flash

:25:11. > :25:14.photography. My name is Catherine. Hay had come to see some of India's

:25:15. > :25:18.most vulnerable. The street children. In Delhi there are

:25:19. > :25:25.thousands of them. Children who have run away from home or been

:25:26. > :25:32.abandoned. At risk of abuse and exploitation.

:25:33. > :25:38.Is it dangerous for them? Can you ask what are they hoping for? They

:25:39. > :25:41.met doctors and psychiatrists who treat the children, mental health

:25:42. > :25:46.among young people is an issue the couple are keen to highlight so from

:25:47. > :25:51.William, a question. What can people like us do to help? Spread the word

:25:52. > :25:55.about street children. They have a right to being in a safe space. The

:25:56. > :26:00.couple joined some of the children in a hostel run by a charity. Kate

:26:01. > :26:03.sat on the ground, and did some sketching.

:26:04. > :26:09.The thing that many of the children drew was a house, a thing that none

:26:10. > :26:13.of them has. That is what Kate drew too, a rather English Home Counties

:26:14. > :26:18.sort of house, whether you are a Duchess or street kid it seems the

:26:19. > :26:25.instinct is much the same. It was time to go. William and Catherine

:26:26. > :26:29.had an appointment to see India's Prime Minister, from the powerless

:26:30. > :26:35.to powerful. Their journey through India's extremes continues. This

:26:36. > :26:40.week is an intense immersion in the many sides of India. Tonight they

:26:41. > :26:44.are in the east, tomorrow, a nature conservation.

:26:45. > :26:52.That bridges us to the weather. Not as warm as in India but today we

:26:53. > :26:58.registered the warmest day of the year so far, glorious skies to go

:26:59. > :27:02.with it, captured at Cobham in Surrey, but that same moments we

:27:08. > :27:12.in North Yorkshire it was 8 C. Misty, foggy, damp and drizzly

:27:13. > :27:16.Filey. Over the rest of this week cold air

:27:17. > :27:22.will be there in northern areas and it will be a battle between the two.

:27:23. > :27:25.Which one will win? In the warm air with have seen thunderstorms. Some

:27:26. > :27:28.clearing away from East Anglia, some in South Wales, they will fizzle

:27:29. > :27:32.out. Turns drier in southern areas, with mist and fog, and temperatures

:27:33. > :27:36.even out, not as much contrast as far as temperatures are concerned

:27:37. > :27:39.into the morning but again, cloudy, damp start in Scotland, Northern

:27:40. > :27:44.Ireland and the far north of England. Improvement across parts of

:27:45. > :27:47.Merseyside, greater match to Yorkshire, feeling Waehler, more

:27:48. > :27:50.sunshine here, mist and fog in the far south to start your day for the

:27:51. > :27:54.commute, but some showers in Devon and Cornwall, and through the day,

:27:55. > :27:58.like today we will see a few scattered thunderstorms develop.

:27:59. > :28:02.Some heavy with hail and thunder. Stick in the sunshine, another warm

:28:03. > :28:06.one, temperatures up to 1, in the cloud and rain further north,

:28:07. > :28:09.another cool day. 0 degrees cooler. Into Thursday, we will have the

:28:10. > :28:14.temperature contrast but in the northern half, a bit brighter,

:28:15. > :28:18.drier, a bit more sunshine round, although still gloomy and cold.

:28:19. > :28:21.England and Wales, misty, foggy to ebegin with, sunshine breaking

:28:26. > :28:29.into the high teen, by the end of the week we start to see low

:28:30. > :28:32.pressure push in, bringing rain more generally, still holding on with the

:28:33. > :28:36.warmer air to the south, but slowly and surely colder air will work

:28:37. > :28:43.southwards later on Friday and slowly through the weekend.
