The junior doctors dispute - both sides are set to restart talks | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
In return for a temporary pause in their action, | :00:07. | :00:12. | |
the Government agrees to hold off imposing a new contract. | :00:13. | :00:20. | |
We are willing to do what it takes to settle this very, very difficult | :00:21. | :00:27. | |
dispute but we are absolutely clear that we have a manifesto commitment | :00:28. | :00:29. | |
to deliver a seven-day NHS. The only way to find | :00:30. | :00:31. | |
a solution is through talking and through dialogue, | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
and we hope for once the Government will actually take that on board | :00:35. | :00:36. | |
and actually engage with us We'll be asking if these latest | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
talks could break the deadlock. You can feel the heat. This is | :00:40. | :00:44. | |

Hello and welcome to the BBC News at Six. | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
For the first time in three months, NHS managers in England and junior | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
doctors have said they are ready to get round a table again. | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
It follows an urgent call from the Academy | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
of Royal Medical Colleges for a five-day pause | :02:05. | :02:06. | |
in the Government's imposition of the new and controversial | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
contract while junior doctors also suspend any new threat of strikes. | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
As our health editor Hugh Pym reports, the Government came | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
on board after initially turning down the suggestion. | :02:18. | :02:26. | |
It has been a long and bitter dispute with junior doctors staging | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
strikes in England, dispute with junior doctors staging | :02:32. | :02:38. | |
differences with me and the government, think about patients. | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
Jeremy Hunt has got to go! For the first time since February, after a | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
plan put forward by leaders of the profession, there is the prospect of | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
talks. We are willing to do what it takes to settle this difficult | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
dispute but we are absolutely clear that we have a manifesto commitment | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
to deliver a seven-day NHS. We are passionate about the NHS. We are | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
putting a lot more money in this year. A very different tone from | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
earlier in the day when the government said it was too late to | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
change the process of bringing in a new contract. It seems that | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
ministers looked again at the proposal and decided they would get | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
involved. Until now, the government has said it is committed to imposing | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
a new contract. The BMA was saying that was not acceptable and | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
threatened more strikes. Under the new plan, both sides would pause | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
action for five days. The government wants the talks to focus on unsocial | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
hours payments and Saturday eight. The BMA wants to include wider | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
working conditions and see a new contract offer. | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
working conditions and see a new can't all it down to one sound bite. | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
We would suggest that can't all it down to one sound bite. | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
many issues in can't all it down to one sound bite. | :03:54. | :03:55. | |
need resolving. The important can't all it down to one sound bite. | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
talk. The government can't all it down to one sound bite. | :04:00. | :04:00. | |
talk to us since can't all it down to one sound bite. | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
have continually said solutions need can't all it down to one sound bite. | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
to be found. After thousands of cancelled operations because of | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
to be found. After thousands of strikes, NHS managers in England are | :04:12. | :04:11. | |
now relieved there is the strikes, NHS managers in England are | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
of negotiations which could lead to a settlement. It is a really | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
positive development which creates a safe space for the right | :04:21. | :04:22. | |
conversations which might get safe space for the right | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
of a dispute. How confident are safe space for the right | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
that it can be resolved in these five days? More confident than | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
yesterday. Getting people in a room to talk can only be good for | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
patients, doctors and the NHS. Labour said the possibility of talks | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
was a welcome move but the government shouldn't insist | :04:45. | :04:46. | |
restrictions on what is discussed. Westminster and the wider NHS are | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
watching intently to see how Let's get some more detail. Do we | :04:50. | :05:00. | |
know why the government changed its mind on this today? George, | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
certainly a lot has happened in the last 24 hours. This time yesterday, | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
both sides, junior doctors protesting outside the Department of | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
Health and the government, were as far apart as ever. Even late last | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
night, the governed position when this proposal began to emerge was | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
that they didn't want to engage with it or stop the process of | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
imposition. By mid-morning, they had shifted their position to engage | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
with it. I am told they looked more at the car and decided that, if the | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
BMA work prepared to talk about these issues, it was worth pursuing. | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
-- they looked more at the detail. You might say they took a different | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
view once they had looked at these talks and realised that the whole of | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
the management was behind these talks. It seems as though the | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
Department of Health and number ten were in regular dialogue about it | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
first thing. When they get down to talks, what do you think are the | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
chances of a breakthrough Mr Mock it is looking a lot brighter than it | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
was. They haven't completely ironed out the detail of what they are | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
going to talk about. There are negotiations going on behind the | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
scenes. But certainly the fact that they seem ready to sit down on | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
Monday morning is a lot more encouraging than it was before. I | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
have to say, it took several months before and they didn't get anywhere | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
before talks broke up in February. They have only given themselves five | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
days. It could be that they get to the end of that and decide it is | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
worth continuing or that it all breaks up. That may well be the last | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
chance, with the government wanting to press on with imposition and the | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
BMA saying that they could escalate the action, even to include | :06:43. | :06:43. | |
continuous strikes if needed. A state of emergency has been | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
declared in the Canadian province of Alberta, | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
as a huge wildfire continues The entire city, that's nearly | :06:50. | :06:50. | |
90,000 people, has been evacuated, and now the residents of two nearby | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
towns have also been told The fire, fed by strong winds | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
and hot, dry weather, has already destroyed | :06:58. | :07:06. | |
around 2,000 homes. Our correspondent, James Cook, | :07:07. | :07:08. | |
is at a cordon just Yes, that is right. We are not | :07:09. | :07:23. | |
allowed into Fort McMurray. Why? The fire is still burning and it is | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
burning just along this road. Perhaps two or three miles along, we | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
are told it is ablaze on both sides of the road. There has been a lot of | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
activity here in the last couple of hours as fire 30s -- firefighters | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
and other emergency services continue to try and tackle the blaze | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
which has caused such hardship. It spread further out of Fort McMurray, | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
a city in a terrible state itself, and it is very clear now that this | :07:50. | :07:50. | |
crisis is far from over. Oh, my God! In the car, a mother, | :07:51. | :07:58. | |
father and child are The people of Fort McMurray had | :07:59. | :08:00. | |
just minutes to abandon For most residents, this | :08:01. | :08:09. | |
was the only road out, A huge wildfire, which was swept | :08:10. | :08:24. | |
into the city by a sudden Once I looked up, and basically it's | :08:25. | :08:35. | |
raining ash, you know, your eyes are burning, | :08:36. | :08:41. | |
you know it's time to pack If this wind changes around tonight, | :08:42. | :08:43. | |
there will be more devastation in Fort McMurray than they had | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
the last two days. As the city smoulders, | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
the full extent of the damage And in this darkest of hours, | :08:53. | :08:54. | |
the community is pulling together. Canada's a country where we look | :08:55. | :09:05. | |
out for our neighbours and we are there for each other | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
in difficult times and certainly in Fort McMurray the difficult | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
times, they are going through right now, is something that we are going | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
to unite around across the country. The fire started in | :09:17. | :09:24. | |
a forest outside the city. But it is still burning, | :09:25. | :09:26. | |
spreading south, forcing It is very stressful, | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
you don't know what's burned and what's not burned, | :09:31. | :09:37. | |
when you can go back. And now you are sitting here | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
and all you see is is red flames. From space, the damage | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
can be clearly seen. The blaze has scarred this | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
landscape. For those fighting it, | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
there is some hope today. It is cooler and the winds have | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
dropped. Too late, though, for | :09:58. | :10:00. | |
Fort McMurray, a city of ashes. James Cook, BBC News, | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
outside Fort McMurray. The Ministry of Justice | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
is to take over the running of the Medway Secure Training Centre | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
in Kent - the young offenders unit which was previously run | :10:14. | :10:16. | |
by the security company G4S. Police began investigating staff | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
after the BBC's Panorama programme Four men were arrested on suspicion | :10:22. | :10:23. | |
of child neglect while a fifth All have been released | :10:24. | :10:30. | |
on police bail. With me now is our home affairs | :10:31. | :10:38. | |
correspondent, Daniel Sandford. Does this mean, do you think, that | :10:39. | :10:48. | |
the government is having a rethink on allowing private companies to run | :10:49. | :10:54. | |
these institutions? I am not sure it does. This training centre was | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
controversial from the start. It was set at 18 years ago, the first | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
institution of its kind. It was controversial partly because it | :11:04. | :11:06. | |
involved private companies locking up some of the most damaged children | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
in our society, aged 12 to 17 will stop and also partly because prison | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
reformers said it was effectively a child prison and these kind of | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
children were much better looked after in local authority secure | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
units, more like homes in prisons. But governments of all kinds carried | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
on the policy and G4S ended up running three of these centres. Then | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
came the Panorama documentary, appearing to show staff assaulting | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
children, suggestions of cover-ups going on as well. Michael Gove, the | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
Justice Secretary, set up a review to monitor improvements at the | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
centre. The report from that is clearly so disturbing he has made | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
the decision to take Medway back into public ownership, taking it out | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
of private hands and running it directly from the Ministry -- from | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
the Ministry of Justice. But G4S still runs Oak Hill training centre. | :12:00. | :12:10. | |
So they are still involved, the private sector. | :12:11. | :12:12. | |
A British registered car - driven by suspected people smugglers - | :12:13. | :12:14. | |
crashed on a motorway in northern France this morning whilst | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
Shots were fired and four people in the car were seriously injured. | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
The accident happened after the vehicle fled a car park | :12:22. | :12:23. | |
in West Flanders known to be used by people smugglers. | :12:24. | :12:26. | |
A motorcyclist was killed later, in an accident in the same place. | :12:27. | :12:32. | |
15 people have been arrested in County Tyrone | :12:33. | :12:34. | |
following the funeral of murdered dissident republican Michael Barr. | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
His cortege was flanked by men wearing paramilitary-style uniforms. | :12:39. | :12:45. | |
It's believed that those who were arrested are suspected | :12:46. | :12:47. | |
of being in the New IRA - a dissident republican | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
group which is opposed to the peace process. | :12:51. | :12:56. | |
Leicester is still basking in the afterglow of its football | :12:57. | :12:59. | |
Its star player Jamie Vardy was out meeting fans today. | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
The billionaire Thai family who own Leicester City | :13:05. | :13:06. | |
say they have no intention of selling any of the players | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
who helped produce one of the greatest shocks | :13:10. | :13:11. | |
Three days on and be celebrations continue at Leicester City. Star | :13:12. | :13:30. | |
player Jamie Vardy mobbed by fans. Manager Claudio Ranieri applauded by | :13:31. | :13:37. | |
the media. Cheers! A toast to the new champions. One of the men behind | :13:38. | :13:43. | |
the fairy tale, a member of the billionaire Thai family which owns | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
the club, told me today how they had done it. It is not a special secret | :13:49. | :13:57. | |
or something. The team spirit is so great in each other, the players, | :13:58. | :14:04. | |
they try to cover all of the mistakes for each other, you know. | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
They never stop. They are just trying, trying. Believe, you know. | :14:09. | :14:17. | |
This group of players is special. His father, who made his fortune | :14:18. | :14:27. | |
from a duty free company, bought the club in 2010 ?439 million, a gamble | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
which paid off. First promotion and then the Premier League title, the | :14:32. | :14:34. | |
family joining in with Tuesday's celebrations. We had some quality | :14:35. | :14:43. | |
players with the right people. Let's see where we are. I am not sure | :14:44. | :14:49. | |
where we will finish next season. Do you think it is a one-off, the | :14:50. | :14:55. | |
title? For the title, I think I can say yes. He has endeared himself, in | :14:56. | :15:04. | |
beer and doughnuts for the fans. The manager says that the owner has | :15:05. | :15:10. | |
played an important role. Never I saw him nervous, and that is as | :15:11. | :15:18. | |
important for me. What I feel, I get to my players, and then that was a | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
very good link between everybody. For some, Leicester's triumph is | :15:24. | :15:26. | |
hard to explain, but the owner ascribes it to a mixture of savvy | :15:27. | :15:33. | |
recruitment and team spirit. It is for the players, yes, but we have a | :15:34. | :15:40. | |
job to do, so their work -- they worked hard to be in this position, | :15:41. | :15:46. | |
not just lucky. This weekend, Leicester will be presented with the | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
Premier League trophy they so in probably one, the latest | :15:52. | :15:54. | |
celebrations for the club, its fans and the owners who have overseen one | :15:55. | :15:56. | |
of sport's great stories. Junior doctors and the Government | :15:57. | :15:59. | |
are ready to get round a table again And still to come: The Scottish | :16:00. | :16:04. | |
bobbies giving their New Zealand Coming up in sport: | :16:05. | :16:23. | |
Leicester's Robert Huth and Manchester United's Fellaini have | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
been banned for three games after a clash during last weekend's 1-1 | :16:28. | :16:28. | |
draw. We've reported on the growing | :16:29. | :16:42. | |
problem of air pollution It's thought to account | :16:43. | :16:43. | |
for thousands of deaths each year so you might be tempted to give | :16:44. | :16:47. | |
the bike ride or walk But now researchers | :16:48. | :16:49. | |
from the University of Cambridge say the health benefits outweigh | :16:50. | :16:51. | |
the risks from air pollution. Here's our environment | :16:52. | :16:54. | |
correspondent, Claire Marshall. It's the dilemma of | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
the health-conscious city commuter. Are you doing yourself any good | :16:59. | :17:01. | |
by jumping on the bike or striding out, when you're gulping | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
in all those noxious fumes? A recent report found that air | :17:06. | :17:08. | |
pollution contributes to 40,000 Well, according to today's research, | :17:09. | :17:12. | |
it is better for you to get In the UK, the evidence is pretty | :17:13. | :17:20. | |
clear that the benefits of physical activity are considerably | :17:21. | :17:24. | |
going to outweigh the harm from the extra air pollution that | :17:25. | :17:26. | |
people would be breathing in. Concerned city-dwellers | :17:27. | :17:31. | |
want information. These unique pollution-monitoring | :17:32. | :17:33. | |
jackets for pigeons have been But if you are exercising, | :17:34. | :17:37. | |
the data says you can worry less. Delhi is the most polluted city | :17:38. | :17:44. | |
in the world, but even here walking So how was this news greeted | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
on the streets this morning? Well, it is a plus for me | :17:49. | :17:54. | |
because doing this five It does make me feel | :17:55. | :17:57. | |
better, thank you. We went to try out one of London's | :17:58. | :18:14. | |
brand-new cycle lanes. It's a warm day and I can feel | :18:15. | :18:19. | |
the pollution stinging my eyes. It's alright, I can get | :18:20. | :18:23. | |
on my bicycle and do some exercise. That's not the same case | :18:24. | :18:26. | |
for everybody in this inner city. It's great news for people | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
who are walking and cycling and great for their | :18:32. | :18:33. | |
own health levels. Air pollution is causing 40,000 | :18:34. | :18:35. | |
early deaths each year in the UK. A committee of MPs has called air | :18:36. | :18:41. | |
pollution a public health emergency. The Government is being taken | :18:42. | :18:49. | |
to court for a second time for failing to put in place measures | :18:50. | :18:52. | |
to bring down illegal levels. And summer, the season of high | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
pollution alerts, is on the way. The funeral of an Afghanistan | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
veteran and Green Beret who collapsed during | :19:02. | :19:06. | |

who was 31 - was laid to rest following a service attended | :19:09. | :19:12. | |

which was recaptured just over a month ago | :19:52. | :19:53. | |
from the Islamic State group. Russian troops helped to liberate | :19:54. | :20:08. | |
the region. The concert was broadcast live on Russian | :20:09. | :20:09. | |
television. For seven months, Russia have been | :20:10. | :20:17. | |
bringing soldiers and weaponry to Syria. Today, it brought music. In | :20:18. | :20:24. | |
the Roman amphitheatre of ancient Palmyra, a surprise concert, the | :20:25. | :20:28. | |
Symphony Orchestra of St Petersburg's Mariinsky Theatre and | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
its renowned conductor, Valery Gergiev. Also on stage today, one of | :20:33. | :20:41. | |
Vladimir Putin's closest friends. He made headlines when he was named in | :20:42. | :20:47. | |
the Panama Papers. In the ten months that so-called Islamic State was in | :20:48. | :20:53. | |
control here, it destroyed some of Palmyra's jewels, ancient monuments, | :20:54. | :20:56. | |
museum artifacts. With Russia's help, the Syrian Army retook the | :20:57. | :21:03. | |
city in March. Speaking by videolink with today's concert, President | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
Putin said he hoped Palmyra would rise again and that civilisation | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
would free itself of the terrible plague of international terrorism. | :21:12. | :21:17. | |
When a Russian orchestra flies to war-torn Syria, this is about more | :21:18. | :21:21. | |
than just the music, it is a political statement. The message | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
from Moscow is clear. The West may criticise us over Syria, but Russia | :21:26. | :21:32. | |
is a force for good. Away from the concert, there was less cause for | :21:33. | :21:36. | |
optimism. This is a village in Homs Province. Today, more than ten | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
people were killed here in a car bomb and a suicide attack. | :21:41. | :21:44. | |
The music in Palmyra may sound a note of hope, but it doesn't end the | :21:45. | :21:47. | |
war. People have been voting in a range | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
of elections across the UK. Parliamentary and Assembly | :21:52. | :21:55. | |
elections are taking place in Scotland, Wales and Northern | :21:56. | :21:58. | |
Ireland, while nearly 33,000 council seats | :21:59. | :22:01. | |
are being contested in England. There are also two Parliamentary | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
by-elections, directly-elected mayors are being chosen in London, | :22:06. | :22:08. | |
Liverpool, Bristol and Salford, and Police and Crime | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
Commissioners are being elected We'll have full coverage | :22:13. | :22:15. | |
as the results come in from across the UK | :22:16. | :22:21. | |
here on BBC News. At 11.45pm, we'll have a special | :22:22. | :22:24. | |
programme on BBC One and analysis on the BBC News Channel | :22:25. | :22:29. | |
throughout the morning from 9am. Virtual reality goggles can | :22:30. | :22:41. | |
help people suffering from severe paranoia, | :22:42. | :22:42. | |
according to researchers Psychologists used | :22:43. | :22:44. | |
computer-generated environments to help patients realise | :22:45. | :22:47. | |
that their fear of other Our Medical Correspondent, | :22:48. | :22:49. | |
Fergus Walsh, tried out the system. Nearly half of the patients said | :22:50. | :22:57. | |
they were better able to deal with their fears. | :22:58. | :22:59. | |
Our Medical Correspondent, Fergus Walsh, tried out the system. | :23:00. | :23:03. | |
This is the kind of every day situation that someone with severe | :23:04. | :23:09. | |
paranoia would avoid. They falsely believe others are trying to harm | :23:10. | :23:14. | |
them. This virtual Tube journey could be a way of combatting those | :23:15. | :23:20. | |
fears. I tried out the system designed by psychologists at Oxford | :23:21. | :23:24. | |
University, funded by the Medical Research Council. I'll turn round | :23:25. | :23:33. | |
and go back to the chap here with a red shirt. The VR is an immersive | :23:34. | :23:39. | |
experience. It feels realistic, but you know it is not reality. The team | :23:40. | :23:45. | |
found that it was most successful in reducing the participants' sense of | :23:46. | :23:48. | |
paranoia when they were encouraged to lower their defences, go up to | :23:49. | :23:52. | |
avatars and realise that they didn't pose any threat. | :23:53. | :23:59. | |
Toby knows what it is like to suffer severe paranoia. Diagnosed with | :24:00. | :24:04. | |
schizophrenia more than 20 years ago, he is now being successfully | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
treated. Even walking down a street used to make him anxious. They were | :24:10. | :24:15. | |
persecutory voices so they were having a go at me. It made it | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
difficult to go outside, to interact with people. I found conversations | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
very difficult. Toby agreed to try out the VR system for us. What did | :24:25. | :24:29. | |
he make of it? Can you go toe to toe with that person? Toe to toe, yeah? | :24:30. | :24:35. | |
Woah! How's that? How are you feeling? I feel OK, actually. Yeah. | :24:36. | :24:41. | |
Good. I think if I do go on a Tube train now, I will certainly remember | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
the virtual reality experience, yes, so I suppose that experience will | :24:47. | :24:52. | |
stay with me. And be positive? Yes. The study, in the British Journal of | :24:53. | :24:56. | |
Psychiatry, showed that after half an hour in the virtual setting, many | :24:57. | :25:02. | |
of the 30 patients who took part showed substantial reductions in | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
their delusions. There are many headsets becoming available on the | :25:08. | :25:10. | |
market, they are very good and headsets becoming available on the | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
affordable and we can use those in psychiatric clinics and wards, but | :25:15. | :25:23. | |
also in people's homes. Many believe it may play a major role in the | :25:24. | :25:28. | |
treatment of mental health. Fergus Walsh, BBC News. | :25:29. | :25:33. | |
But now some officers from Police Scotland have | :25:34. | :25:39. | |
# If your game is on give me a call boo | :25:40. | :25:43. | |
# If your love is strong, I gotta give my all to you. # | :25:44. | :25:46. | |
The officers have been showing off their fancy footwork in front of | :25:47. | :25:48. | |
It all started when police in New Zealand posted this video | :25:49. | :26:00. | |
on social media showing themselves doing the running man dance as part | :26:01. | :26:04. | |
And then they challenged police forces around | :26:05. | :26:08. | |
# If your love is strong, I gotta give my all to you | :26:09. | :26:12. | |
Police in New York were not going to be left out. | :26:13. | :26:21. | |
They called in some back-up and produced this. | :26:22. | :26:24. | |
# If your game is on give me a call boo | :26:25. | :26:33. | |
# If your love is strong, I gotta give my all to you. # | :26:34. | :26:39. | |
I will leave you to judge who is best! | :26:40. | :26:42. | |
Time for a look at the weather. Here's Nick Miller. | :26:43. | :26:46. | |
I will get straight on with the weather! Temperatures are on the up, | :26:47. | :26:52. | |
where you are getting to see some sunshine. This is Whitby on the | :26:53. | :26:55. | |
North Yorkshire coast. These are some of the temperatures | :26:56. | :27:02. | |
we are seeing around London. 17 in Aberdeen, but Scotland, | :27:03. | :27:08. | |
Northern Ireland, you are still in Atlantic rather than continental air | :27:09. | :27:14. | |
so it doesn't warm up until Sunday. Cooler than this in rural spots, so | :27:15. | :27:20. | |
still some getting to low single figures. So maybe a chill first | :27:21. | :27:24. | |
thing in the morning. In the sunshine, it will warm up. The sun | :27:25. | :27:27. | |
tomorrow will be hazier. Maybe still a shower popping up | :27:28. | :27:31. | |
somewhere in Scotland, but north-west Scotland, a lighter wind, | :27:32. | :27:37. | |
more sunshine, sunny spells and temperatures close to normal. High | :27:38. | :27:44. | |
pollen levels across the UK. There could be a thunderstorm | :27:45. | :27:49. | |
towards the south-west of Britain. Running up the western side on | :27:50. | :27:52. | |
Saturday, some patchy outbreaks of rain. | :27:53. | :27:59. | |
Be aware of the possibility of the odd intense thunderstorm. | :28:00. | :28:03. | |
Temperatures still close to normal for Scotland and Northern Ireland. | :28:04. | :28:09. | |
This onshore breeze, off this cool sea, will peg temperatures back at | :28:10. | :28:13. | |
the start of the weekend. By Sunday, though, apart from an isolated | :28:14. | :28:17. | |
thunderstorm, maybe parts of Wales, western and Northern England, most | :28:18. | :28:20. | |
will be dry, a sunnier day on Sunday. And the warmth building, mid | :28:21. | :28:27. | |
to the upper 20s in the south-east. The forecast where you are, pollen, | :28:28. | :28:30. | |
and UV levels on the | :28:31. | :28:32. |
