:05:25. > :05:28.expectations for Rio, they have strong teams, you know, they get the
:05:29. > :05:33.Paralympic game, we thought this was going to be a step up from London,
:05:34. > :05:37.and I think we had the indication when the IPC said the travel money
:05:38. > :05:40.hadn't been made available. They said there was three budget cut,
:05:41. > :05:44.today we found out what they are and they are significant. These are
:05:45. > :05:48.budget cuts on top of budget cuts that have taken place, what message
:05:49. > :05:51.does this send, do you think about blame, given that Beijing and
:05:52. > :05:56.London, you er, they were a high point. ? It sends out the message
:05:57. > :06:00.the Paralympic Games doesn't mean as much to the organising committee.
:06:01. > :06:04.But the British public care about it equally, the athletes care about it
:06:05. > :06:09.equally. The competition will by a amazing but what they won't have is
:06:10. > :06:12.the added extras we were able to put on in London, and the crowd numbers
:06:13. > :06:16.are really disappointing. They are low. You do step up your performance
:06:17. > :06:21.when you are if front of big crowds. But the British team, where, we are
:06:22. > :06:25.lucky, we have amazing support. The athletes are resilient. They don't
:06:26. > :06:29.stay in five-star hotels, they are used to it. They will deal with what
:06:30. > :06:32.is in front of them. In terms of the medal hopes I don't think they will
:06:33. > :06:38.be diminished. But they may deal with what is in front of then but it
:06:39. > :06:42.won't necessarily be the contender, ten country may not be able to
:06:43. > :06:47.attend That is better than we expected two or three days ago, this
:06:48. > :06:52.is where the richer nations need to step up, maybe the IOC, there can be

:25:25. > :25:29.for so many parts of the country, now a day of rain?
:25:30. > :25:35.The gardeners will be happy, travel is probably not so. The rain has

:25:44. > :25:46.the UK over the next day or so. So, gradually, through the second part
:25:47. > :25:50.of the weekend, things will improve. The rain moves north overnight, lots
:25:51. > :25:57.of showers coming in from the West. Not cold, by any stretch, 14 or 15
:25:58. > :26:01.degrees by dawn. A very windy start, particularly on the southern flank
:26:02. > :26:06.of this low pressure. Gales around the coast, large waves and high
:26:07. > :26:15.tides. Gusts getting up to 50 or 60 mph. Quite nasty around some of the
:26:16. > :26:19.coast and even inland, gusts of 40 mph. Not ideal. To go with a strong
:26:20. > :26:23.wind in Northern Ireland and northern England, heavy rain through
:26:24. > :26:26.the morning. Not such a bad start in central Scotland. In the Northern
:26:27. > :26:30.Isles, particularly Orkney, it will be windy and wet. That windy and wet
:26:31. > :26:34.weather will move towards Shetland. We are going to see the heavy rain
:26:35. > :26:41.across Northern Ireland moving across northern England, southern
:26:42. > :26:47.Scotland by the afternoon. A rush of rain in Wales. Temperatures
:26:48. > :26:51.struggling, 7418 degrees. Through the evening, it stays very windy.
:26:52. > :26:56.Still lots of showers around. You can see the low, drifting into the
:26:57. > :27:02.North Sea. By Sunday morning, temperatures around 14 or 15 degrees
