The Prime Minister steps into the junior doctors dispute | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
The Prime Minister criticises the junior doctors' planned strike in | :00:10. | :00:14. | |

We are not playing politics either with junior doctors or with | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
This contract has been rejected by junior doctors. | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
They have rejected it because they have | :00:40. | :00:41. | |
The latest strikes were announced in the last half an hour. We will have | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
all of the details. Tributes to the ten year-old | :00:45. | :00:47. | |

News at Six PM. Doctors leaders have just announced that junior doctors | :02:04. | :02:15. | |
plan to walk out on three more five-day strikes between now and | :02:16. | :02:25. | |
Christmas. That's on top of the strike already announced for this | :02:26. | :02:32. | |
month. The move comes after the Prime Minister attacked the British | :02:33. | :02:34. | |
Medical Association accusing them of playing politics rather than putting | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
patients first. They are protesting against the new pay and working | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
hours contract imposed on them by the government. | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
One hospital, like so many others, with a lot of extra work to do | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
Here at Colchester General, they're having to plan to bring | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
in consultants to cover striking junior doctor colleagues | :02:51. | :02:52. | |
for emergency work and for a longer strike than the last one in April. | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
We coped before and indeed we'll cope again, but it is going to be | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
more difficult this time as we've only got 12 days to plan | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
and of course that's taking essential staff away from the jobs | :03:03. | :03:04. | |
Junior doctors won concessions on safety, but their demands | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
still include: a more generous weekend pay allowance. | :03:09. | :03:10. | |
More detail on how the Government plans to achieve a full | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
More protection for women and part-time workers. | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
The main issues haven't changed, but what we didn't know, | :03:17. | :03:18. | |
until today, was what the new Prime Minister thought about them. | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
In her first public comments on the junior doctors' dispute, | :03:22. | :03:23. | |
Theresa May made clear there'd be no immediate change of tact | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
by the Government and she gave her backing to the Health Secretary. | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
We've got record levels of funding in the NHS. | :03:30. | :03:31. | |
We've got more doctors now in the NHS than we've seen | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
in its history and this is a deal that is safe for patients. | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
The Government is putting patients first, the BMA should be | :03:38. | :03:39. | |
putting patients first, not playing politics. | :03:40. | :03:41. | |
But junior doctor representatives denied they were playing politics | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
and said the Government should now halt the imposition of a contract | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
which had been rejected by BMA members. | :03:48. | :03:49. | |
We don't want to take industrial action at all. | :03:50. | :03:51. | |
All this would take is the Government saying to us, | :03:52. | :03:53. | |
right now, we're going to lift the imposition. | :03:54. | :03:55. | |
We're not going to force a contract upon junior doctors. | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
We already have a contract that allows us to work weekends. | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
I'm an A trainee, I work one in two weekends. | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
For patients, like Simon, there's now uncertainty and worry | :04:08. | :04:14. | |
with routine procedures set to be postponed. | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
He's waiting for an operation for kidney stones, but doesn't know | :04:18. | :04:19. | |
My heart's with the doctors, I wouldn't want to say doctors | :04:20. | :04:26. | |
are bad, they shouldn't be striking but, at the same time, | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
I'm sort of going - hang on a minute, I'm | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
Essentially, it's an hour's operation. | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
It's a very simple thing that has to be done, but there's only a few | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
people who can do it and I'm stuck in pain waiting for the very few | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
There's no junior doctor dispute in Scotland, | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
Wales and Northern Ireland as there are no plans | :04:48. | :04:49. | |
Meanwhile, in England, the direction of travel doesn't | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
seem to be leading back to the negotiating table. | :04:54. | :05:01. | |
In the last half-hour we have heard from BMA members of plans for | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
further strikes beyond the one already planned for September. The | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
next one will begin on Wednesday October five, as it happens the last | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
day of the Conservative Party conference. There will be a strike | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
on the Thursday and Friday that we cant normal cover over the weekend | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
and strikes on Monday and Tuesday the following week. The next | :05:22. | :05:23. | |
five-day action will begin on November 14 and then one on December | :05:24. | :05:30. | |
the 5th. All of that means further challenges for hospital managers, | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
further uncertainty for patients, further backlogs in routine | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
operations and procedures, assuming of course that there is no | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
resolution to this dispute and though strikes actually take place. | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
Health editor Hugh Pym, thank you. Police have named the 10-year-old | :05:44. | :05:45. | |
boy and his 34-year-old aunt who were killed yesterday afternoon | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
in London when a car being chased Makayah McDermott and Rosie Cooper | :05:49. | :05:50. | |
were walking on the pavement with three other children when they | :05:51. | :05:57. | |
were hit. Police are continuing to question a | :05:58. | :05:59. | |
man in connection with their deaths. It was a summer's afternoon but not | :06:00. | :06:11. | |
always best spent in the park, and that's where they were heading when | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
this happened. Makayah McDermott died, crushed by the car, like all | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
the children he was a talented actor, auditioned for a TBC reads | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
and his aunt Rosanne Cooper was also killed. Her daughter and Makayah's | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
sisters are being treated in hospital. The car that hit them had | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
been reported stolen shortly before and pursued by police three South | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
London. After the crash the driver fled only to be corded by officers | :06:41. | :06:47. | |
nearby. Flowers arrived this afternoon, accompanied by memories | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
of the victims. I don't know Rosie massively well but the one thing I | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
do know about her is she never had a bad word to say about anybody. She | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
was the kindest, friendliest, warmest person. When something like | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
this happens there is always an independent inquiry to consider the | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
fast-moving decisions which had to be made when someone fails to spot, | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
stop the police. Alan Kitchener is an ex-police officer, now driving | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
instructor, who has been at the wheel and at the control room during | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
pursuits. Is a constant management of the risk because things change | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
from second to second. To help controllers decide whether to | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
continue officers in the car are taught to commentate on those risks | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
over the radio. The pedestrian who might step out and might not see us | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
coming and then the bend on the road and it dips down, Junction to the | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
right. It's impressive the amount of detail but this is a technical place | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
where a pursuit might happen. If you didn't pursue in the sort of place | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
that is more risky you'd never catch anyone. Many pursuits are called | :07:55. | :08:00. | |
off, I've called off lots in my career because the risk outweighs | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
the benefit of catching the offender. Investigators are now | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
examining video footage from the police car involved and its built-in | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
data recorder. Tom Symons BBC News, south London. | :08:15. | :08:16. | |
There was a strong rebound in manufacturing in the UK last month. | :08:17. | :08:18. | |
Latest figures show the sector bounced back unexpectedly | :08:19. | :08:25. | |
following a big drop in July following the vote to leave the EU. | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
And one of the main reasons for that is the weaker pound, | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
making our goods cheaper for foreign companies to buy. | :08:32. | :08:33. | |
Our Economics Correspondent Andy Verity is here. | :08:34. | :08:35. | |
These figures weren't expected, were they? | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
Not at all. The consensus from economists was much poorer. This is | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
not just sentiment, it is relatively hard data so you are asking the | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
decision makers, the key people who make decisions on what to buy, this | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
applies to die, to meet the orders coming in at the cutting edge of the | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
economy, asking them whether things are getting better or worse, or | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
staying the same and more than half of them are saying they are getting | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
better in August. Part of the reason as you mention, the weaker pound, | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
look at what has happened since the vote. It started in the 140s, you | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
can see the drop getting down to 130 or so and now is back up to about | :09:16. | :09:23. | |
133 but substantially less. It means foreign companies buying British | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
manufactured goods are paying effectively 10% less so the goods | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
are a lot more competitive. On the other hand, we also see in the data | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
the flip side which is that the manufacturers have to decide what to | :09:35. | :09:43. | |
buy in. They might pay for wood pulp in dollars and that has gone up | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
because pounds by fewer dollars and that buys less of the goods. 44% of | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
firms say supply costs are up but what is interesting about this is | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
the weaker pound seems to be having a stimulating effect on the economy | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
in the way in which lower interest rates have not succeeded so far. | :10:00. | :10:01. | |
Thank you. The Government is to spend ?20 | :10:02. | :10:03. | |
million on improving the performance Services have been hit | :10:04. | :10:06. | |

Chris Grayling, said the money The RMT union says a planned | :10:15. | :10:17. | |
walk-out by some Southern staff A rocket operated by the aerospace | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
company, Space X, has exploded at in Cape Canaveral, | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
Florida. The incident happened | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
during a test-firing of the rocket which was due to take a satellite | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
into space this weekend. Space X said the explosion, | :10:36. | :10:37. | |
which shook buildings several miles away, was the result | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
of an anomaly on the launchpad It's the biggest biomedical research | :10:41. | :10:42. | |
centre in Europe Today, the Francis Crick Institute | :10:43. | :10:50. | |
in London officially opened its doors to more than 1,200 scientists | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
from around the world who will be based there working on new ways to | :10:55. | :10:57. | |
diagnose, treat and prevent conditions such as cancer, heart | :10:58. | :11:00. | |
disease and stroke. Our medical correspondent Fergus | :11:01. | :11:02. | |
Walsh has been to take a look. London has a new landmark, | :11:03. | :11:12. | |
the Crick, named after This cathedral to science is right | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
behind the British Library As well as what you can see, | :11:17. | :11:23. | |
there are four storeys below ground, which will house scanners, | :11:24. | :11:29. | |
electron microscopes This is my laboratory and we've | :11:30. | :11:31. | |
already started work. One of the first scientists to move | :11:32. | :11:38. | |
in is its Nobel Prize-winning director, Sir Paul Nurse, | :11:39. | :11:41. | |
who's working on cell division, fundamental to our understanding | :11:42. | :11:43. | |
of diseases like cancer. We would attract brilliant | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
scientists from around the world and take on the biology | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
underpinning diseases like heart disease, stroke, | :11:53. | :11:55. | |
diabetes, neuro degeneration and push forward biomedical research | :11:56. | :11:57. | |
well into the 21st Century. When it's fully open next year, | :11:58. | :12:04. | |
the Crick will be home to more than 1,200 scientists from every | :12:05. | :12:07. | |
field of medical research. A building on this vast scale | :12:08. | :12:09. | |
is a tangible public statement about the importance of science | :12:10. | :12:15. | |
in Britain and the hope will be that the discoveries made | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
here will eventually benefit us all. HIV, TB, malaria and flu will all be | :12:19. | :12:27. | |
studied in high containment laboratories off this corridor | :12:28. | :12:33. | |
and the ultimate goal A better understanding will always | :12:34. | :12:35. | |
lead to the ability to find new drug targets and, | :12:36. | :12:44. | |
ultimately,, if we can work out the specifics | :12:45. | :12:51. | |
of how these things work, Brexit will have an impact and mean | :12:52. | :12:53. | |
the loss of planned EU funding, but the Crick's top scientists | :12:54. | :13:00. | |
saying the building sends a powerful international message | :13:01. | :13:03. | |
that is Britain is open for us. Junior doctors have announced three | :13:04. | :13:24. | |
more five-day strikes between now and Christmas as their dispute with | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
the government over the new contract intensifies. | :13:28. | :13:30. | |
And later in the programme, the BBC's got a new reporter. | :13:31. | :13:32. | |
This is Bridget know. Matt Jones reporting for BBC News. | :13:33. | :13:38. | |

looking into the successful bid to host the 2006 World Cup. | :13:42. | :13:54. | |
There's been a big rise in demand for psychiatric care, | :13:55. | :13:57. | |
and it's putting considerable pressure on the NHS. | :13:58. | :13:59. | |
BBC News has seen evidence that some homeless people who've been treated | :14:00. | :14:02. | |
for mental health problems are being discharged from hospitals | :14:03. | :14:05. | |
The numbers of rough sleepers with mental health problems | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
has tripled in the past six years in London alone. | :14:10. | :14:12. | |
As our social affairs correspondent Michael Buchanan reports, | :14:13. | :14:14. | |
getting them proper treatment is highly problematic. | :14:15. | :14:24. | |
His report contains some flashing images. | :14:25. | :14:26. | |
I'm going to do a mental health assessment on a bloke. | :14:27. | :14:32. | |
For three months, this team have been looking for one man. | :14:33. | :14:34. | |
There he is. Yes. | :14:35. | :14:37. | |
Good. How is everything? | :14:38. | :14:47. | |
He's a rough sleeper, sometimes volatile. | :14:48. | :14:49. | |
With police support, Fatima Taylor, a psychiatric nurse, | :14:50. | :14:51. | |
I don't think you're coping out here. | :14:52. | :14:57. | |
The outreach team believe his health has deteriorated | :14:58. | :15:00. | |
and that he should be detained under the Mental Health Act. | :15:01. | :15:02. | |
I've seen you walk about talking to yourself. | :15:03. | :15:05. | |
And I've seen you scream at people walking in front of you. | :15:06. | :15:13. | |
I don't want mental health, I'm not mental. | :15:14. | :15:15. | |
She can't get any doctors to come and assist as the law requires. | :15:16. | :15:25. | |
It's so unpredictable when you find somebody so chaotic | :15:26. | :15:39. | |
striving nightly to support rough sleepers with mental health needs. | :15:40. | :15:53. | |
Ed's rang and said you are feeling a bit low. | :15:54. | :15:55. | |
An innovative approach from the charity Thames Reach | :15:56. | :15:57. | |
Amid the constant bustle an increasing case load | :15:58. | :16:11. | |
The man in the shorts has been sectioned. | :16:12. | :16:14. | |
And where were you sleeping before that? | :16:15. | :16:17. | |
On the street, homeless. For how long was that? | :16:18. | :16:19. | |
Seven years now. Seven years? | :16:20. | :16:20. | |
He's homeless and a regular drug user. | :16:21. | :16:22. | |
In recent weeks, his behaviour has become erratic. | :16:23. | :16:24. | |
Yeah, because the doctors have made a decision, and myself, | :16:25. | :16:26. | |
that you will be better off in hospital. | :16:27. | :16:28. | |
He's been sectioned several times before and calmly heads to hospital. | :16:29. | :16:35. | |
As he departs, so do we, to a bin chute in a block of flats. | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
But it stinks. I know. | :16:40. | :16:54. | |
she's been sectioned often suffering from schizophrenia. | :16:55. | :17:03. | |
The outreach team found her, housed her, saved her. | :17:04. | :17:06. | |
I'm a lot better now, I've got my own home. | :17:07. | :17:08. | |
Yeah? Yeah. | :17:09. | :17:09. | |
How's your mental health? It's all right, it's controlled. | :17:10. | :17:12. | |
But you can't make mental health right overnight. | :17:13. | :17:18. | |
Her relative progress a source of inspiration | :17:19. | :17:20. | |
Back on the streets a familiar figure, | :17:21. | :17:26. | |
He'd been discharged from hospital after just two days. | :17:27. | :17:33. | |
The outreach team said the NHS had failed to | :17:34. | :17:36. | |
They fall through the cracks all the time. | :17:37. | :17:40. | |
It's a matter of substance misuse, drug-induced psychosis. | :17:41. | :17:42. | |
It's nothing to do with their mental health. | :17:43. | :17:45. | |
The man will now have to fend for himself until his next crisis, | :17:46. | :17:55. | |
revolving between hospital and homelessness, | :17:56. | :17:58. | |

Our media correspondent David Sillito reports. | :18:21. | :18:31. | |
ANNOUNCER: Dodgers watch out. Once upon a time, it was simple. If your | :18:32. | :18:37. | |
home had a television you paid a license and then came the iPlayer. | :18:38. | :18:42. | |
Suddenly you could watch the BBC on all sorts of devices without paying. | :18:43. | :18:49. | |
But no longer. A lot of people, especially younger people, are | :18:50. | :18:53. | |
facing a choice. I watch iPlayer to watch BBC TV. I don't have a trchlt | :18:54. | :19:00. | |
V license and I don't think I'd buy one for iPlayer. I do watch iPlayer. | :19:01. | :19:04. | |
I don't have a TV licence. I'll have to get one. The question is, how do | :19:05. | :19:10. | |
you enforce it? One thing has changed today. When you press that | :19:11. | :19:18. | |
play button the programme no longer plays immediately, you get this | :19:19. | :19:22. | |
prompt asking if you've paid your licence fee. But, how can they be | :19:23. | :19:29. | |
sure you have Detectives are out in force seeking TV bandits. It was | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
never clear how the old style detective vans worked. This is a | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
completely different problem fraught with legal issues. . The BBC could | :19:39. | :19:44. | |
inspect its log files to see who's accessed its service. That has | :19:45. | :19:50. | |
massive and privacy legal complicationses. Google got into | :19:51. | :19:56. | |
trouble knifing traffic. It was find severely. So, the easiest option for | :19:57. | :20:01. | |
the BBC and their enforcement teams is to knock on people's doors, ask | :20:02. | :20:07. | |
if they've used iPlayer and watch to see if they lie. May I see your TV | :20:08. | :20:13. | |
licence, pleas. The knock on the door method's been around for a long | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
time. This matters to the BBC. This iPlayer issue has, it's said, led to | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
is a ?150 million shortfall in its income. The legal loop hope may have | :20:24. | :20:28. | |
been closed but if there are no passwords or pin numbers, how it | :20:29. | :20:31. | |
will be enforced is not entirely clear. | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
The Paralympic Games begin in Rio next Wednesday. | :20:36. | :20:37. | |
we're hearing from some of the athletes representing Great Britain. | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
Boccia is perhaps one of the least known sports, | :20:43. | :20:44. | |
but it's also one of the most inclusive, | :20:45. | :20:46. | |
offering the most-disabled athletes an opportunity to take part. | :20:47. | :20:48. | |
Our reporter and former Paralympian Kate Grey | :20:49. | :20:50. | |
caught up with one of it's stars, Northern Ireland's Claire Taggart. | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
Until four years ago, neither had Claire Taggart. | :20:56. | :21:02. | |
Now she's off to Rio to compete in her first Paralympic Games. | :21:03. | :21:07. | |
When people ask me, are you excited about going to Rio, I'm thrilled. | :21:08. | :21:14. | |
I don't think it'll be real until I get on that plane. | :21:15. | :21:18. | |
I didn't think it would even be an option, if I'm honest with you, | :21:19. | :21:21. | |
Boccia is a sport played by athletes with the most severe disabilities | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
So, disabilities likes muscular dystrophy and cerebral palsy. | :21:26. | :21:31. | |
Once all the balls have been thrown, the team | :21:32. | :21:38. | |
6,000 miles from Rio is Claire's home town in Northern Ireland | :21:39. | :21:44. | |
where a lot of the hard work takes place. | :21:45. | :21:47. | |
I have some pigeons for company there in the hall sometimes. | :21:48. | :21:57. | |
How do you keep yourself motivated when you haven't got team-mates | :21:58. | :22:02. | |
around you or competition all the time. | :22:03. | :22:05. | |
Someone will post in our messaging group, | :22:06. | :22:07. | |
Then we'll all be doing that that week to beat that person's score. | :22:08. | :22:12. | |
Your life hasn't always been this way. | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
It's changed quite a lot over the last four years. | :22:18. | :22:19. | |
Take us through what you've gone through. | :22:20. | :22:22. | |
I started stumbling and falling about five years ago. | :22:23. | :22:24. | |
but I got diagnosed with a condition called dystonia. | :22:25. | :22:30. | |
That means abnormal posturing and muscle contractures. | :22:31. | :22:33. | |
Yeah, everything is just back to what I could do. | :22:34. | :22:40. | |
It's been crazy the amount of people I don't know who are saying | :22:41. | :22:48. | |
I still see myself as a little girl from Larne who just throws balls. | :22:49. | :22:56. | |
You sit here very confidently and talk about it in a very positive | :22:57. | :22:59. | |
way, having a disability, being in a wheelchair. | :23:00. | :23:01. | |
If I'm having a bad dad, I have to remind myself that's the focus. | :23:02. | :23:11. | |
but the good days will outweigh the bad days. | :23:12. | :23:20. | |
And good luck to Claire Taggart, who's off to Rio. | :23:21. | :23:24. | |
It's been 12 years, but Bridget Jones is back | :23:25. | :23:26. | |
Hopelessly romantic and always shambolic, | :23:27. | :23:31. | |
in the intervening years Bridget has grown up. | :23:32. | :23:33. | |
She's become a serious news producer and the actress who plays her, | :23:34. | :23:36. | |
Renee Zellweger, did some of her research for the part | :23:37. | :23:38. | |
Fiona Bruce has been talking to her about that | :23:39. | :23:43. | |
and the risk of returning to a role for the a third time. | :23:44. | :23:51. | |
So there I was, surrounded by my friends and all ready | :23:52. | :23:57. | |
I didn't want to make a film that didn't matter, | :23:58. | :24:19. | |
characters that seem to resonate with people on such | :24:20. | :24:22. | |
It would feel like a betrayal if we just made anything at all. | :24:23. | :24:27. | |
Things appear at first to be looking up for Bridget Jones. | :24:28. | :24:29. | |
A generation of British women have grown up with Bridget and so many | :24:30. | :24:36. | |
people identify with her, I mean that's quite | :24:37. | :24:38. | |
I love her humanity, her vulnerability. | :24:39. | :24:41. | |
I love that she carries on despite the challenges that she faces. | :24:42. | :24:44. | |
One challenge is that as Bridget has aged, | :24:45. | :24:48. | |
And the almost inevitable online chat about her changing appearance | :24:49. | :24:56. | |
has made headlines around the world, to her dismay. | :24:57. | :24:59. | |
When you see something that, you know, is not true becoming | :25:00. | :25:05. | |
the truth simply because it's been repeated enough, it makes | :25:06. | :25:07. | |
Back in the world of Bridget Jones, an unexpected pregnancy brings | :25:08. | :25:14. | |
a dilemma - the father could be one of two men. | :25:15. | :25:40. | |
How could she lose, they were both kinds of right. Bridget is juggling | :25:41. | :25:46. | |
impending mother hood with a career as a news producer. You know what, | :25:47. | :25:52. | |
this weekend, you and me need to go out and get stuck into some | :25:53. | :25:55. | |
serious... Bring drinking. You came into the BBC News room | :25:56. | :26:01. | |
to have a look behind-the-scenes, I was lucky enough | :26:02. | :26:04. | |
to meet you that day. What did you think of it, | :26:05. | :26:06. | |
and did How could she lose, How you keep so calm and keep your | :26:07. | :26:24. | |
composure through it all, it's impressive. Very impressive. Do you | :26:25. | :26:29. | |
know, I think she has a taste for it. This is Bridget Jones reporting | :26:30. | :26:34. | |
for the BBC News. Back to you, Fiona! | :26:35. | :26:37. | |
Time for a look at the weather. Here's Jay Wynne. | :26:38. | :26:46. | |
A day of big contrasts across the UK as you can see here on the satellite | :26:47. | :26:56. | |
sequence. England and Wales enjoyed sunshine. Over Northern Ireland and | :26:57. | :27:02. | |
Scotland rain. Its spilling eastwards overnight tonight. Never | :27:03. | :27:05. | |
really gets to East Anglia and the south-east. Staying mostly dry here. | :27:06. | :27:10. | |
Showers following behind. By dawn, temperatures about 14 or 15 | :27:11. | :27:13. | |
Kellsous. A bit of a grey start for some. Extensive low cloud, mist and | :27:14. | :27:18. | |
fog in some places in the south-west of England and parts of Wales | :27:19. | :27:21. | |
particularly around the coast and over the hills. There's that damp | :27:22. | :27:26. | |
weather over the Midlands. A bright start for much of East Anglia and | :27:27. | :27:29. | |
the south-east. Rain in Northern England. But a bright start. Also in | :27:30. | :27:34. | |
Northern Ireland. Western and central parts of Scotland starting | :27:35. | :27:39. | |
off with a few showers. In eastern Scotland it will do well through the | :27:40. | :27:42. | |
day. A few showers getting across here. The rain over England and | :27:43. | :27:48. | |
Wales becoming light and patchy. Cloud over the Midlands, East Anglia | :27:49. | :27:52. | |
and the south-east. Still showers into western Scotland and into | :27:53. | :27:56. | |
Northern Ireland. Top temperature about 19 in Aberdeen, 21 or so in | :27:57. | :28:01. | |
London. Through the evening, dry in most of England and weighs. Showers | :28:02. | :28:04. | |
in Scotland and Northern Ireland. By the end of the night, we're looking | :28:05. | :28:08. | |
towards the south-west. The next batch of rain is heading our way. | :28:09. | :28:12. | |
There are question marks about the extent of this rain on Saturday. | :28:13. | :28:17. | |
Going downhill across England and Wales on Saturday. Some rain may be | :28:18. | :28:21. | |
getting to Northern Ireland. Scotland may see showers. On Sunday, | :28:22. | :28:26. | |
looking like a better day. Still one or two showers dotted around. | :28:27. | :28:33. | |
Weather on the BBC weather website. Also on our tropical weather storm | :28:34. | :28:37. | |
heading across over the next fee days. | :28:38. | :28:41. | |
Three more five-day strikes have been announced by junior doctors in | :28:42. | :28:46. | |
England as their dispute with the Government over their new contract | :28:47. | :28:47. | |
intensifies. That's all from the BBC News at Six | :28:48. | :28:48. | |
so it's goodbye from me, and on BBC One we now join the BBC's | :28:49. | :28:51. | |
news teams where you are. | :28:52. | :28:54. |
