:00:13. > :00:14.The Government is expected to suffer its first setback over

:00:15. > :00:17.Brexit with a defeat in the House of Lords.

:00:18. > :00:20.Peers from all parties are expected to vote to allow EU citizens

:00:21. > :00:28.That vote is taking place this evening.

:00:29. > :00:30.We'll bring you the result

:00:31. > :00:40.Plans for children as young as four to be taught

:00:41. > :00:42.about healthy relationships in all schools in England.

:00:43. > :00:45.It's actually quite nice to know that kids are being taught about sex

:00:46. > :00:48.and relationships stuff at school by a qualified teacher.

:00:49. > :00:49.They are too young for this right now.

:00:50. > :00:52.I mean, at this age they can't really process

:00:53. > :00:57.Donald Trump promises a new chapter of American greatness in his first

:01:04. > :01:05.I'll be reporting from Liverpool which is now isolated

:01:06. > :01:08.from the main rail network because of a major landslide.

:01:09. > :01:11.And the Syrian baby whose parents both died and who had nearly every

:01:12. > :01:15.limb broken in a bombing - and the British surgeon who first

:01:16. > :01:18.treated her and has now tracked her down in in Turkey.

:01:19. > :01:24.And coming up in Sportsday on BBC News:

:01:25. > :01:25.British Cycling has more questions to answer,

:01:26. > :01:50.the organsiation's medical record-keeping.

:01:51. > :01:55.Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six.

:01:56. > :02:03.The government is lightly to be this evening over the Brexit Bill.

:02:04. > :02:06.Peers from all parties have voted in the House of Lords to amend

:02:07. > :02:08.the legislation to enable EU citizens living in

:02:09. > :02:12.It's a setback for the Government's bill to trigger Article 50

:02:13. > :02:14.which starts the formal process of the UK leaving the EU.

:02:15. > :02:17.MPs may vote to remove the Lords' proposed changes when the bill moves

:02:18. > :02:19.back to the House of Commons later this month.

:02:20. > :02:22.But today would be the first defeat for the Government over Brexit and

:02:23. > :02:23.there could be more to come. Our political editor

:02:24. > :02:30.Laura Kuenssberg has more. Turning up for work the minister

:02:31. > :02:37.smiling despite the prospect of defeat. From the start their

:02:38. > :02:41.Lordships were determined to let fears be felt. This is the sort of

:02:42. > :02:44.issue where the House of Lords is right to say to the Commons please

:02:45. > :02:49.think again about this. You can't be contemptuous about the Lords and the

:02:50. > :02:53.functioning of the Lords in seeking to improve, refine, modify

:02:54. > :02:57.legislation. Rarely the scene of minute by minute political

:02:58. > :03:00.thrillers, but today peers were eager to create a drama. Is the

:03:01. > :03:06.government heading for a defeat on the Brexit Bill today? I sincerely

:03:07. > :03:11.hope so. This is the Lord's doing their job, which is scrutiny. Should

:03:12. > :03:15.the government brace itself for defeat on the Brexit Bill? No, of

:03:16. > :03:20.course not. We should do what the people said. The goal is to

:03:21. > :03:24.guarantee the rights of EU citizens and nearly 3 million others who have

:03:25. > :03:29.made their home here, she is worried she might have to leave after we

:03:30. > :03:32.leave the EU. As a European citizen living here I never thought about

:03:33. > :03:35.this happening so you don't take that into account and all of a

:03:36. > :03:39.sudden you are confronted with that and that is not your fault so you

:03:40. > :03:42.should be protected from the uncertainty around that so it would

:03:43. > :03:47.be good if the UK Government can make sure that permanent residences

:03:48. > :03:52.are easier to obtain. Back in Parliament ministers have tried to

:03:53. > :03:55.reassure. They say EU citizens ought to be able to stay without a

:03:56. > :04:00.problem. But they won't give a guarantee unless and until other

:04:01. > :04:11.countries give that same promise to Brits abroad. Crossbench!

:04:12. > :04:14.Crossbench! The Lords, packed, peers vying to speak. Spot the Home

:04:15. > :04:21.Secretary looking on. We are bleeding the best academics leaving

:04:22. > :04:25.this country one by one or thinking about leaving because they do not

:04:26. > :04:28.see themselves having a future in this country. That is urgent and

:04:29. > :04:33.needs to be dealt with now. This is about the honour of this house. This

:04:34. > :04:39.is about as speaking to what people need to put their fears and their

:04:40. > :04:43.anguish at bay. We really have a responsibility to those people. Why

:04:44. > :04:46.is everybody here today so excited about an amendment which looks after

:04:47. > :04:54.the foreigners and not the British? It's true! Pass the legislation as

:04:55. > :04:58.quickly as possible to activate Article 50 and then to negotiate to

:04:59. > :05:03.give these people the rights they deserve to stay in our country.

:05:04. > :05:05.Are you ready for defeat today, Prime Minister?

:05:06. > :05:11.The Prime Minister is not known, though, for changing her mind

:05:12. > :05:18.altering her direction, but seven months in she's poised for defeat.

:05:19. > :05:20.Members in the House of Lords are reaching the finishing stages of a

:05:21. > :05:23.debate on this and will be voting any time soon.

:05:24. > :05:28.Opponents on the government have got their wins in their sales on this

:05:29. > :05:32.issue, there is no question about that, all of the expectation is the

:05:33. > :05:36.Government will be beaten tonight. It is then for ministers to decide

:05:37. > :05:39.whether or not they will budge on this issue, or whether they will

:05:40. > :05:44.play hardball and send it back to the Lords and dare them to turn it

:05:45. > :05:47.into a much bigger rout. Remember this is not about the House of Lords

:05:48. > :05:51.trying to stop us leaving the European Union, this is about them

:05:52. > :05:56.trying to have a say over how the Government takes us out. This, I

:05:57. > :06:00.think, would be the first occasion of many when they are determined to

:06:01. > :06:04.make their views heard. We shall find out later on, Laura

:06:05. > :06:06.Kuenssberg at Westminster, thank you.

:06:07. > :06:08.Children as young as four will learn about healthy

:06:09. > :06:10.relationships under new plans for all schools in England.

:06:11. > :06:13.Pupils in secondary schools will be taught about the dangers of sexting

:06:14. > :06:15.and online pornography as part of sex education.

:06:16. > :06:17.Ministers say current teaching is "increasingly outdated".

:06:18. > :06:29.Sometimes I might not feel like a case at all so I will not give her a

:06:30. > :06:32.kiss, is that OK? How long is too young to learn about relationships

:06:33. > :06:36.and sex? These six and seven-year-olds are learning about

:06:37. > :06:41.their bodies, and soon it will be compulsory for all school children

:06:42. > :06:42.to have lessons like this. Today the government announced that

:06:43. > :06:48.age-appropriate classes will be taught to children as young as four.

:06:49. > :06:59.If we only have sex education at secondary school and the children

:07:00. > :07:01.are already going through puberty and they are already thinking about

:07:02. > :07:04.having boyfriends and girlfriends which is happening, they won't know

:07:05. > :07:06.what to do, who to turn to, they won't know how they feel about

:07:07. > :07:08.things. The strongest argument for change and more up-to-date teaching

:07:09. > :07:10.is times have changed. Children are more exposed to sexual images than

:07:11. > :07:15.they ever have been through the Internet and mobile phones. Guidance

:07:16. > :07:19.that schools are looking to in terms of how they teach relationships and

:07:20. > :07:23.sex education was developed in the year 2000 and Britain is a very

:07:24. > :07:26.different place, so it is really important that we have an updated

:07:27. > :07:31.approach that means our children are safe and protected. Charities,

:07:32. > :07:35.teaching unions and MPs have been campaigning for the Government to

:07:36. > :07:39.introduce compulsory sex education and whilst there has been support

:07:40. > :07:42.from faith groups there has also been criticism. We want to families

:07:43. > :07:48.and support and encourage them to engage with their children about

:07:49. > :07:53.these issues. To check how they are using their mobile phones. To check

:07:54. > :07:56.where they are online up in their bedrooms. That's what parents can

:07:57. > :08:01.do. Controlling what children see and hear in a digital world means

:08:02. > :08:06.parents have to be one step ahead of the technology. My daughter is five.

:08:07. > :08:11.She copies everything that she sees. The dance moves, certain clothes she

:08:12. > :08:15.sees. I say you are too young, you are not ready for that, I need you

:08:16. > :08:18.to enjoy your childhood. It is nice to know children are being taught

:08:19. > :08:23.about sex and relationships stuff at school by a qualified teacher. They

:08:24. > :08:28.are too young for this right now, at this stage the cup and actually, you

:08:29. > :08:35.know... It will be hard for them to understand what is going on at this

:08:36. > :08:39.age. In Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland sex education isn't

:08:40. > :08:42.compulsory but all UK governments face the challenge of how best to

:08:43. > :08:45.prepare young people for life in modern Britain. Elaine Dunkley, BBC

:08:46. > :08:46.News. President Trump has used his first

:08:47. > :08:49.speech to Congress to declare what he called a new chapter

:08:50. > :08:53.of American greatness. Adopting a measured tone,

:08:54. > :08:56.very different from his more volatile tweets, he promised

:08:57. > :09:05."massive tax relief for the middle class", and asked Congress to pass

:09:06. > :09:07.a $1 trillion package to build new infrastructure.He said the US

:09:08. > :09:09."strongly supports Nato", but that members of the alliance

:09:10. > :09:11."must meet their Our North America editor

:09:12. > :09:19.Jon Sopel was watching. They say that practice makes

:09:20. > :09:23.perfect. And when you're singing a new tune probably best to give it

:09:24. > :09:27.the full rehearsal. The President of the United States!

:09:28. > :09:33.Donald Trump's tone couldn't have been more different. Warm,

:09:34. > :09:39.inclusive, unified and optimistic. What we are witnessing today is the

:09:40. > :09:42.renewal of the American spirit. Our allies will find that America's once

:09:43. > :09:47.again ready to lead. APPLAUSE

:09:48. > :09:52.And for anxious European nations supportive words on Nato.

:09:53. > :09:56.We strongly support Nato, an alliance forged through the bonds of

:09:57. > :10:00.two world wars that dethroned fascism.

:10:01. > :10:03.APPLAUSE And the Cold War. And defeated

:10:04. > :10:09.communism. Not everything was from the new

:10:10. > :10:11.album. There were the greatest hits too.

:10:12. > :10:13.Tonight I am also calling on this Congress to repeal and replace

:10:14. > :10:18.ObamaCare. APPLAUSE

:10:19. > :10:23.We will soon begin the construction of a great, great Wall along our

:10:24. > :10:28.southern border. But on immigration there was also a suggestion they

:10:29. > :10:30.could be a reform and there were other measures that should have

:10:31. > :10:34.pleased Democrats like paid maternity leave and a massive

:10:35. > :10:40.infrastructure programme. But mostly they sat stony faced. The most

:10:41. > :10:45.moving part of the night was when he spoke to the widow of Navy SEAL Ryan

:10:46. > :10:48.Owens killed in Yemen in the first combat operation ordered by the new

:10:49. > :10:52.commander-in-chief. Ryan's legacy is etched into eternity. Thank you.

:10:53. > :11:03.APPLAUSE And then an appeal for America to

:11:04. > :11:09.seize the moment. Believe in your future and believe

:11:10. > :11:13.once more in America. Thank you, God bless you, and God bless the United

:11:14. > :11:17.States. APPLAUSE

:11:18. > :11:20.Having taken a lot of flak for the way they've done business since

:11:21. > :11:25.Donald Trump took office, the White House today is basking in the warm

:11:26. > :11:28.glow of the support for last night's joint address. It was well

:11:29. > :11:34.structured and delivered with discipline. You might almost say it

:11:35. > :11:37.was a conventional political speech from this most unconventional

:11:38. > :11:39.politician. Jon Sopel, BBC News, Washington.

:11:40. > :11:41.Two British medical students who travelled to join so-called

:11:42. > :11:44.Islamic State almost two years ago have been killed

:11:45. > :11:48.Hisham Fadlallah and Ahmed Sami Khider were part of a group

:11:49. > :11:54.of British medics who joined IS in 2015.

:11:55. > :11:56.Our Home Affairs correspondent Daniel Sandford joins me now -

:11:57. > :12:04.These men were part of a group of a dozen British medical students that

:12:05. > :12:07.went to join so-called Islamic State in 2015, although they were at

:12:08. > :12:11.school here and their parents were working as doctors here in the NHS

:12:12. > :12:16.they were of Sudanese origin so their families had sent them to a

:12:17. > :12:18.private medical school in the Sudanese capital Khartoum to study

:12:19. > :12:22.medicine but then they became radicalised before joining IS and

:12:23. > :12:27.one of the two meant became infamous for taking part in an Islamic state

:12:28. > :12:33.recruitment video. You can see him apparently teaching medical students

:12:34. > :12:37.about anatomy and at one point he addresses the camera directly and

:12:38. > :12:40.calls on other doctors to go and join them in Islamic State trying to

:12:41. > :12:46.form the fledgling medical service for the group. We have now heard at

:12:47. > :12:49.the weekend he was travelling in a convoy of vehicles trying to flee

:12:50. > :12:56.Mosul as the Iraqi government forces closed in on the last remaining bit

:12:57. > :13:00.under control of IS and that convoy was involved in a firefight and he

:13:01. > :13:04.was killed and his friend, also a British medical student, died about

:13:05. > :13:07.the same time. It is not clear that was in the same incident but

:13:08. > :13:11.certainly about the same time and the two men's families have

:13:12. > :13:17.travelled to Britain for the formal mourning process in cartoon work

:13:18. > :13:20.many of their family, one of their sisters who has also travelled with

:13:21. > :13:26.him, who is also a medical student, is still in Raqqa, the other IS

:13:27. > :13:31.stronghold, so for that family the heartache still isn't over and the

:13:32. > :13:36.truth is as Mosul Falls and Raqqa comes under much more direct attack

:13:37. > :13:37.we are going to get many, many more supporters Dummett stories of

:13:38. > :13:40.British IS supporters being killed. The time is just coming up to

:13:41. > :13:59.6:15pm. Our top story this evening. The

:14:00. > :14:02.government is set to lose the debate on Brexit in the Lords.

:14:03. > :14:05.Still to come, how life on Earth began in cracks in the sea bed

:14:06. > :14:08.hundreds of millions of years earlier than previously thought.

:14:09. > :14:11.Coming up in Sportsday on BBC News in the next 15 minutes.

:14:12. > :14:13.It was goaless in the first match, but Manchester City and Huddersield

:14:14. > :14:16.will play to a finish tonight with an FA Cup

:14:17. > :14:25.In the new year, we told you about five-month-old Maram.

:14:26. > :14:28.Both her parents died and nearly every limb in her body was broken

:14:29. > :14:31.when her house was bombed in Aleppo - her suffering particularly

:14:32. > :14:34.harrowing even by the standards of the Syrian war.

:14:35. > :14:37.The British surgeon Dr David Nott, who operated on her and then

:14:38. > :14:39.watched her leave for asylum in Turkey, didn't know

:14:40. > :14:42.Now, several months on, he's returned to find out

:14:43. > :14:56.Our correspondent Quentin Sommerville reports.

:14:57. > :14:58.So much of Aleppo's pain is anonymous but Maram's

:14:59. > :15:07.An air strike killed her parents and left her gravely ill.

:15:08. > :15:11.Inside Syria Dr David Nott worked to save her leg.

:15:12. > :15:21.From here and only five months old she was evacuated

:15:22. > :15:26.But after months of searching the BBC tracked her down

:15:27. > :16:20.TRANSLATION: The final surgery was nearly too much.

:16:21. > :16:29.Her wounds are healing but then they will be work

:16:30. > :16:32.to reconstruct her bones and repair damaged nerves.

:16:33. > :16:36.It's said children can't remember pain.

:16:37. > :16:42.Few, though, have as much to forget as Maram.

:16:43. > :16:45.When I saw Maram today, it was very emotional.

:16:46. > :16:47.And as a doctor you try and stay fairly unemotional

:16:48. > :16:53.when you're dealing with lots of people with injuries.

:16:54. > :16:56.I suppose having got children as well now and how much

:16:57. > :17:01.you love that child and, you know, a tiny piece of my heart

:17:02. > :17:11.And that's what I've been thinking about every day since leaving.

:17:12. > :17:22.And this morning was a beautiful moment to meet her again.

:17:23. > :17:31.Dr David Nott and the story of Maram.

:17:32. > :17:33.Let's take a brief look at some of the day's

:17:34. > :17:37.More than a thousand jobs are thought to be at risk

:17:38. > :17:39.at Ford's Bridgend plant over the next four years.

:17:40. > :17:42.The company revealed concerns about a slowdown in work in a leaked

:17:43. > :17:46.Ford won't comment on the document but said it "fully understands"

:17:47. > :18:08.Police investigating the disappearance of RAF gunner

:18:09. > :18:10.Corrie Mckeague have arrested a man on suspicion of attempting

:18:11. > :18:14.The 23-year-old airman went missing on a night out

:18:15. > :18:18.A landfill site will be searched in the coming week.

:18:19. > :18:21.A violent paedophile has been jailed for 27 years for raping and abusing

:18:22. > :18:25.57-year-old Michael Dunn knocked through the wall behind his fridge

:18:26. > :18:28.to create a cavity in which he hid one of his victims.

:18:29. > :18:31.No trains will run in or out of Liverpool Lime Street station

:18:32. > :18:34.for several days, after a wall collapsed onto the railway blocking

:18:35. > :18:37.for several days, after a wall collapsed onto the railway, blocking

:18:38. > :18:39.all four lines of track and damaging overhead cables.

:18:40. > :18:43.It means major disruption for tens of thousands of passengers.

:18:44. > :18:49.Our Correspondent Danny Savage is there.

:18:50. > :18:55.This is going to make life difficult for an awful lot of people.

:18:56. > :19:02.Body here. It is now isolated because of a landslide about a mile

:19:03. > :19:06.away. It happened during rush-hour yesterday evening, fortunately at a

:19:07. > :19:10.moment when there were no trains passing on any of the tracks there,

:19:11. > :19:13.otherwise the consequences could have been much more serious.

:19:14. > :19:18.Liverpool should have been. Liverpool should have been bustling

:19:19. > :19:21.in the early spring sunshine today but in terms of trains

:19:22. > :19:23.it was cut off. 15 million people a year use

:19:24. > :19:25.Liverpool Lime Street but it's now silent,

:19:26. > :19:26.virtually deserted, About a mile down the track

:19:27. > :19:31.is the reason why. A wall has given way and tonnes

:19:32. > :19:34.of debris has fallen It's proving difficult to get

:19:35. > :19:37.to and there are concerns We've got a failed retaining wall

:19:38. > :19:44.across all four tracks. The location is really difficult

:19:45. > :19:46.to access and the ground is really unstable with some tunnels,

:19:47. > :19:48.Victorian tunnels, Pictures taken last night

:19:49. > :19:55.showed the scenes shortly Thankfully all services were stopped

:19:56. > :19:58.when the falling masonry triggered sensors on overhead wires

:19:59. > :20:01.alerting signal operators. So, every mainline rail journey

:20:02. > :20:09.through Liverpool today started off I'm not sure how much

:20:10. > :20:15.longer it's going to take. A bit frustrated but it sounds

:20:16. > :20:18.like it was a wall accident. It sounds like there wasn't anything

:20:19. > :20:21.the train company could do about it. So where you caught

:20:22. > :20:23.up in it last night? That was basically it,

:20:24. > :20:29.and not very much information. A number of heavy containers on top

:20:30. > :20:33.of the wall will now have to be removed before clear-up

:20:34. > :20:34.work can begin. It could be several days

:20:35. > :20:36.before the line reopens. Tomorrow, voters go to the polls

:20:37. > :20:44.in Northern Ireland for the second It follows the collapse

:20:45. > :20:47.of Stormont's power-sharing government and the last month has

:20:48. > :20:49.seen a bitter election campaign. Our Ireland Correspondent Chris

:20:50. > :20:51.Buckler has been looking at the issues and the state

:20:52. > :20:58.of the parties. Stormont's power-sharing government

:21:00. > :21:08.and Sinn Fein fell out over a range of issues including the financial

:21:09. > :21:09.scandal surrounding what's known as the RHI,

:21:10. > :21:13.the renewable heat incentive, a botched green energy scheme

:21:14. > :21:15.which was at one stage projected to cost the taxpayer

:21:16. > :21:21.around ?500 million. It has, at times, been

:21:22. > :21:26.a bitter campaign and it's certainly felt more divisive

:21:27. > :21:28.than the last election, We can see the results from them

:21:29. > :21:33.in our virtual Assembly Chamber. The DUP were returned

:21:34. > :21:35.as the biggest party with 38 While Sinn Fein were in second

:21:36. > :21:40.place with 28 seats. The opposition parties, the SDLP,

:21:41. > :21:43.the Ulster Unionists and the Alliance will all be hoping

:21:44. > :21:46.to increase their share of the vote after the way that

:21:47. > :21:49.coalition fell apart, and that is true for

:21:50. > :21:51.the smaller parties too. But some politicians

:21:52. > :21:53.will definitely lose their seats. That's because the number

:21:54. > :21:55.of Assembly Members is being reduced And there's one other

:21:56. > :22:10.number to watch. The size of the DUP in the last

:22:11. > :22:13.Assembly gave the party what's known In effect, that's a veto to prevent

:22:14. > :22:17.any legislation they don't like. For example, they used it to block

:22:18. > :22:21.a vote in favour of the introduction of same-sex marriage,

:22:22. > :22:22.which is still illegal They need to hold onto 30

:22:23. > :22:27.seats to keep that veto. And even when all of the votes

:22:28. > :22:31.are finally counted, there will need to be a deal between the parties

:22:42. > :22:45.in Northern Ireland. Life on Earth began hundreds

:22:46. > :22:48.of millions of years earlier than previously thought -

:22:49. > :22:50.that's according to researchers who have discovered fossils of one

:22:51. > :22:53.of the earliest living organisms. The creature - half

:22:54. > :22:56.the width of a human hair - lived more than four billion years

:22:57. > :22:58.ago, not long after Our science correspondent

:22:59. > :23:04.Pallab Ghosh has more. It's one of humanity's

:23:05. > :23:14.biggest questions. The discovery of some of the first

:23:15. > :23:17.life forms to have ever existed on Earth may begin

:23:18. > :23:19.to provide some answers. They were discovered in these rocks

:23:20. > :23:22.which were found in Canada. And here it is, one of the planet's

:23:23. > :23:27.very first inhabitants. It was less than the width

:23:28. > :23:33.of a human hair and very simple. But it ate and consumed

:23:34. > :23:39.oxygen, like we do. And to the shock of this scientist

:23:40. > :23:42.who discovered it, the life forms existed hundreds of millions

:23:43. > :23:44.of years earlier than I mean, this is one of the reasons

:23:45. > :24:04.for intelligent life to evolve. So, where does the life form fit in,

:24:05. > :24:07.in the story of life on Earth? The Earth formed just over

:24:08. > :24:09.4.5 billion years ago, a molten mass of rock that

:24:10. > :24:12.began to cool. Not long after that came

:24:13. > :24:15.the first oceans which spread It was right at the bottom of those

:24:16. > :24:30.primordial lotions that some of the very first life forms emerged

:24:31. > :24:32.4.28 billion years ago next to cracks on the sea floor spraying

:24:33. > :24:35.out warm water and minerals. A billion years ago,

:24:36. > :24:37.life really got started. All sorts of new types of organisms

:24:38. > :24:40.exploded on the scene over The first humans evolved around

:24:41. > :24:46.2.5 million years ago and modern humans arrived very

:24:47. > :24:49.recently by comparison. The claim that living organisms

:24:50. > :25:01.emerged on Earth so early is controversial, but if confirmed,

:25:02. > :25:03.indicates that life is an unstoppable force

:25:04. > :25:14.and suggests that the universe We are teeming with life here in the

:25:15. > :25:15.studio, John Hammond is here with me! Let's take a look at the

:25:16. > :25:22.weather. Steady on! Meteorology is a

:25:23. > :25:27.beautiful thing, let me show you what I mean. It was a beautiful day

:25:28. > :25:31.in the high lands until this happened, the heavens opened, a

:25:32. > :25:34.curtain of rain and sleet and snow fell on this particular lake. We

:25:35. > :25:39.will keep this turbulent weather going in the next few days. Strong

:25:40. > :25:45.winds, rain and hill snow is all going on across certain parts of

:25:46. > :25:48.England and Wales tonight. The English Channel is prone as well.

:25:49. > :25:56.Some very strong gusts could cause some issues. Some of that snow is

:25:57. > :26:03.falling to quite low levels, which could cause some issues locally. We

:26:04. > :26:12.will keep an eye on that. Wintry showers across the north-west

:26:13. > :26:16.Highlands. It will be julienned cold -- it will be chilly and cold, it

:26:17. > :26:22.will not feel warm anywhere tomorrow morning. A blustery day, the rain

:26:23. > :26:26.and snow will ease away from central areas and in actual fact many of us

:26:27. > :26:29.will settle into a half decent day. If you can get out of the breeze and

:26:30. > :26:34.sunshine it should not feel too bad. Still some showers across the West

:26:35. > :26:40.of Scotland and the rain looming large across Northern Ireland by the

:26:41. > :26:43.end of the day. But enjoy those temperatures because here is

:26:44. > :26:47.Friday's picture, more rain particular for England and Wales.

:26:48. > :26:51.Northern Ireland and Scotland enjoying the best of the weather.

:26:52. > :26:56.For the weekend, brace yourselves, there will be some rain around for

:26:57. > :26:57.most of us and it will be quite blustery at times, so inevitably it

:26:58. > :27:02.will feel quite chilly, sorry! A reminder of our main stories this

:27:03. > :27:11.evening. The government is expected to suffer

:27:12. > :27:18.its first setback over Brexit with defeats in the House of Lords

:27:19. > :27:22.tonight. Their arch -- there are plans for children as young as four

:27:23. > :27:23.to be taught about healthy relationships in schools all over
