:00:00. > :00:07.Tonight at six, Theresa May has just faced her backbenchers -

:00:08. > :00:11.and says she'll serve as long as they want her to.

:00:12. > :00:14.This afternoon, she headed off to a showdown with her MPs

:00:15. > :00:20.and told them "I got us into this mess, and I'll get us out".

:00:21. > :00:25.Earlier, the Prime Minister chaired a meeting of her new cabinet -

:00:26. > :00:28.there are calls for her to involve ministers more this time around.

:00:29. > :00:30.Next Monday's Queen's speech could be delayed -

:00:31. > :00:33.the Government needs to reach a deal with

:00:34. > :00:38.We're in talks with the Democratic Unionist Party

:00:39. > :00:41.to see the deal that we can put together and I'm very

:00:42. > :00:46.but obviously until we have that, we can't agree the final details

:00:47. > :00:53.So what will the DUP want in return for keeping Theresa May in office?

:00:54. > :00:59.It's thought the Brexit negotiations could also be delayed -

:01:00. > :01:05.Russian police break up a protest in Moscow -

:01:06. > :01:10.an opposition leader is arrested before he can address the crowd.

:01:11. > :01:13.The Duchess of Cambridge visits the hospital treating victims

:01:14. > :01:21.of the London terror attack - she met nurses and patients.

:01:22. > :01:24.And coming up in Sportsday on BBC News - the England Under-20s manager

:01:25. > :01:26.says it's too soon to call them a golden generation,

:01:27. > :01:53.Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six.

:01:54. > :01:55.In the last hour, Theresa May has just faced her MPs,

:01:56. > :02:00.admitting that she's got the party into a mess and promising

:02:01. > :02:06.It's not the only sign of the challenges the prime minister faces.

:02:07. > :02:08.For the first time in recent memory, the Queen's speech -

:02:09. > :02:11.in which the Government lays out its plans - could be delayed.

:02:12. > :02:14.It may have to be postponed from next Monday as the Government

:02:15. > :02:18.negotiates a deal with Northern Ireland's

:02:19. > :02:20.Democratic Unionist Party to give it a majority in parliament.

:02:21. > :02:23.Theresa May is widely expected to have to prune back some

:02:24. > :02:27.of the more controversial aspects of her election manifesto

:02:28. > :02:30.as she tries to win the support not only of the DUP,

:02:31. > :02:41.Our political editor Laura Kuenssberg has the latest.

:02:42. > :02:51.The band plays on. In Theresa May's backyard. Strangely, business as

:02:52. > :02:58.usual at the back gates. Hello, Chief Whip, can the Prime Minister

:02:59. > :03:02.stay on, do you think? She have confidence? Mirror of course she

:03:03. > :03:07.has. But at the front, event at Number Ten are less regimented. Do

:03:08. > :03:10.you have confidence in Theresa May's leadership, Secretary of State? Do

:03:11. > :03:14.you have confidence in the Prime Minister, do you think she can

:03:15. > :03:18.survive this? Do you have confidence in the Prime Minister? Arriving for

:03:19. > :03:22.the first Cabinet since the election, not all ministers are

:03:23. > :03:27.ready publicly to say yes. Do you have confidence in the Prime

:03:28. > :03:32.Minister? Absolutely? Having lost the Tories' majority, Theresa May

:03:33. > :03:35.needs to convince her Cabinet colleagues she is still right for

:03:36. > :03:38.the job. They look like they need to convince themselves. The Tories'

:03:39. > :03:44.hopes of getting anything done live in a deal with Northern Irish MPs.

:03:45. > :03:48.It's not even clear yet if the Queen's Speech, the official start

:03:49. > :03:54.of the government and its business, will go ahead as planned next week.

:03:55. > :04:00.The details of the Queen's Speech are what matters. It has been known

:04:01. > :04:02.for some days that we are seeking an agreement with the Democratic

:04:03. > :04:05.Unionist Party. That will provide the stability and Parliamentary

:04:06. > :04:09.votes that will allow us to do the important things we need to do. Some

:04:10. > :04:16.loyal supporters were trying to cheer Theresa May up. But the fact

:04:17. > :04:21.that scores of newly elected Labour MPs are arriving here and old Tory

:04:22. > :04:26.MPs departing means Theresa May is going to have to change, whether she

:04:27. > :04:30.likes it or not. She's a week and Prime Minister with no majority in

:04:31. > :04:33.this place, and that means any of the more controversial ideas in her

:04:34. > :04:38.manifesto will bite the dust. It's probably goodbye to more grammar

:04:39. > :04:43.schools, probably an end to the idea of tightening up pension benefits.

:04:44. > :04:50.The simple truth - Theresa May can't guarantee she will get her way. It

:04:51. > :04:55.would be great if she now gets the government in place, which she

:04:56. > :04:58.started to do yesterday, and starts these negotiations. She can than

:04:59. > :05:03.herself make any decisions about the future. There are also demands to

:05:04. > :05:07.shift on her approach to the biggest policy of all, how we leave the EU.

:05:08. > :05:12.Cabinet ministers have told me there has to be a change of tone, perhaps

:05:13. > :05:15.a change of priorities too. There is a lot to discuss, but we do have to

:05:16. > :05:21.make sure we invite other people in now. This will not be a Tory Brexit,

:05:22. > :05:25.it has to involve the whole country. She was putting one vision. You and

:05:26. > :05:28.others are telling her it has to change. A majority Conservative

:05:29. > :05:31.government was putting forward a vision and we are no longer a

:05:32. > :05:35.majority Conservative government. We will have to work with others. That

:05:36. > :05:40.means we will have to invite people in and try and take more people with

:05:41. > :05:45.us. That can be positive. The immediate sense of danger to Theresa

:05:46. > :05:49.May seems to be slowing, but she is vulnerable, having to answer to

:05:50. > :05:53.colleagues in Parliament, having failed to persuade the country.

:05:54. > :05:54.Gentle turmoil, while the routines and rhythms of this place stay the

:05:55. > :05:55.same. And we can talk to our political

:05:56. > :06:03.editor Laura Kuenssberg now... Laura, I gather this meeting with

:06:04. > :06:07.backbenchers is still going on. What more can you tell us? She is still

:06:08. > :06:12.taking questions from MPs after an opening short speech to them where

:06:13. > :06:16.to Tories, many of whom were furious about what happened with the

:06:17. > :06:19.election, she apologised directly to them. She apologised to colleagues

:06:20. > :06:23.who had lost their seats and she also said, I got into this mess and

:06:24. > :06:28.I will get us out of it. I understand it is not just this group

:06:29. > :06:31.of MPs that she has apologised to. She also apparently apologised to

:06:32. > :06:34.the Cabinet this afternoon and said she was responsible for calling the

:06:35. > :06:40.election. She led the campaign and she is sorry. The truth is that she

:06:41. > :06:45.can now say sorry as much as she wants, as colleagues had demanded.

:06:46. > :06:49.But her authority is extremely fractured and minds here are turning

:06:50. > :06:53.to what is next. In that meeting tonight, she acknowledged that she

:06:54. > :07:00.is not calling the shots any more. She said, I will serve as long as

:07:01. > :07:05.you want me. That is about as far from a Prime Minister commanding the

:07:06. > :07:10.heights of politics as you can get. But in terms of the immediate roar

:07:11. > :07:15.after the election, where a small number of MPs were saying it was

:07:16. > :07:19.time for her to go, that does seem to have faded. In terms of the term

:07:20. > :07:24.she struck this evening by acknowledging she has made mistakes,

:07:25. > :07:30.that makes it more likely that Tory MPs will be quieter for a while with

:07:31. > :07:35.their concerns about her leadership. But there is still that nagging

:07:36. > :07:38.doubt about how long she can stay. Can she stay in the medium-term? Can

:07:39. > :07:45.she stay till the next general election after what has happened in

:07:46. > :07:50.the last BOOING last 48 -- or after what has happened in the last 48

:07:51. > :07:52.hours, that seems unlikely. Laura, thank you.

:07:53. > :07:54.So, as we've heard, perhaps the biggest challenge facing

:07:55. > :07:56.Theresa May is negotiating Britain's departure from the European Union.

:07:57. > :07:59.The Brexit Secretary, David Davis, has said there may be a delay

:08:00. > :08:02.to the negotiations to leave the EU, which were also due

:08:03. > :08:05.But Mr Davis insisted the Government would stick to its plan

:08:06. > :08:08.to leave the single market, despite some calls to change

:08:09. > :08:10.its stance after last week's election result.

:08:11. > :08:11.Our deputy political editor Jon Pienaar

:08:12. > :08:18.Brexit means Brexit, says Theresa May, but what does it mean?

:08:19. > :08:21.The two-year countdown continues next week.

:08:22. > :08:24.Then UK and EU negotiators must thrash out a deal if they can.

:08:25. > :08:31.They have until the end of March 2019, then Britain's out.

:08:32. > :08:36.So what are the challenges of Brexit and can ministers find an answer?

:08:37. > :08:39.European imports cross British borders freely now - EU leaders say

:08:40. > :08:42.people must too if free trade is to go on, so how to keep free

:08:43. > :08:46.movement of goods into Britain, but not people?

:08:47. > :08:53.The government says it's sticking to that mission, but open to ideas.

:08:54. > :08:56.What we will be doing, as I have in the last ten months,

:08:57. > :08:58.is listening to all contributors and saying, if you've got

:08:59. > :09:00.better ideas, tell me and we'll consider them.

:09:01. > :09:04.The Chancellor wants to keep business supplied

:09:05. > :09:08.David Davis, the Brexit Secretary, does too, but wants

:09:09. > :09:17.Trade Secretary Liam Fox is tougher still and wants out of the EU

:09:18. > :09:19.even if that means no deal, but the parliamentary pressures

:09:20. > :09:27.This debate has been going around in circles.

:09:28. > :09:29.Since the election, it's picked up pace.

:09:30. > :09:34.Brexiteers want to break free of all EU control.

:09:35. > :09:36.Others say compromise on migration, on EU payments,

:09:37. > :09:41.Whether it's on movement of people, how the rules can be adjusted,

:09:42. > :09:43.budget payments, things like that, there needs to be flexibility

:09:44. > :09:46.because the politicians' job is to make this work for the nation

:09:47. > :09:49.as a whole, not to dispute amongst themselves.

:09:50. > :09:52.17.4 million people voted for the simple principle

:09:53. > :09:54.that decisions should be made by democratically elected

:09:55. > :09:58.politicians here in Westminster that decide our laws, our money

:09:59. > :10:00.and our borders and that's what should be negotiated,

:10:01. > :10:11.Trade and cooperation count for more than keeping migrants out, they say.

:10:12. > :10:15.We need a collaborative approach, we need to get rid of the idea

:10:16. > :10:17.of tick-boxing hard Brexit and obsessions with things

:10:18. > :10:24.like the European Court and bringing down migration numbers.

:10:25. > :10:25.We need an outcome that works for businesses

:10:26. > :10:30.Most of the MPs who will be sworn in here this week were elected

:10:31. > :10:36.There are many ideas of how and what's best for Britain.

:10:37. > :10:40.If there is a plan, it will only emerge slowly through long hard

:10:41. > :10:43.negotiation, and no-one can say now what it will look like.

:10:44. > :10:46.Opinions may shift here and across the country and some even

:10:47. > :10:48.believe no plan can be agreed before another election,

:10:49. > :10:52.so a deal to exit the European Union is not yet within reach -

:10:53. > :10:59.It will take endless wrangling between now and the two-year

:11:00. > :11:07.deadline for Brexit before we find out what it really means.

:11:08. > :11:10.The Democratic Unionist Party is not only negotiating with Theresa May.

:11:11. > :11:13.As we've been hearing, it's also resumed talks on restoring

:11:14. > :11:19.Tensions at Stormont mean there's been no First Minister

:11:20. > :11:26.or Deputy First Minister since January.

:11:27. > :11:30.But Sinn Fein - the other party in the power sharing talks -

:11:31. > :11:33.say Theresa May's government can no longer be seen as an honest broker

:11:34. > :11:36.because it is now dependent on the DUP for its Commons majority.

:11:37. > :11:38.Our Ireland Correspondent Chris Buckler has the latest

:11:39. > :11:50.North Antrim is a DUP heartland, where many voters choose the party

:11:51. > :11:53.at least partly because of their religion. High among the concerns of

:11:54. > :11:57.the Democratic Unionists and their electorate is protecting the union

:11:58. > :12:01.of the United Kingdom. And now they find themselves in a position not

:12:02. > :12:08.just to help provide some stability, but also to influence government in

:12:09. > :12:11.the UK. The prospect of a deal between the DUP and the

:12:12. > :12:15.Conservatives is a deep concern for Sinn Fein, particularly as Theresa

:12:16. > :12:19.May's government is also supposed to be acting as an honest broker. In

:12:20. > :12:24.talks to try to restore power-sharing here at Stormont. We

:12:25. > :12:33.don't believe that any deal between the DUP here and the English Tories

:12:34. > :12:39.will be good for the people here. And any deal which undercuts in any

:12:40. > :12:46.way the process here or the Good Friday and other agreements is one

:12:47. > :12:50.which has to be opposed. Watching as Sinn Fein spoke were members of the

:12:51. > :12:54.DUP. Their Westminster ambitions could have an impact on parliament

:12:55. > :12:57.buildings in Belfast, where devolved government collapsed at the start of

:12:58. > :13:02.the year because of a series of disputes between the parties. Those

:13:03. > :13:05.issues which are devolved should be dealt with by the devolved

:13:06. > :13:10.administration here in Northern Ireland. But if others decide that

:13:11. > :13:12.they are not coming back into the devolved administration in Northern

:13:13. > :13:16.Ireland, those issues will have to be dealt with at Westminster. It is

:13:17. > :13:20.the Sinn Fein to decide where they want those powers to lie. The

:13:21. > :13:24.British and Irish governments were supposed to be bringing Stormont's

:13:25. > :13:30.parties together in these talks, but Dublin's ministers are becoming

:13:31. > :13:33.concerned. The Good Friday agreement requires all parties and

:13:34. > :13:38.particularly both governments to adopt a stance of rigorous

:13:39. > :13:42.impartiality. The DUP will make their way to Westminster tomorrow

:13:43. > :13:47.with demands. At the top of their list is likely to be money for the

:13:48. > :13:51.economy and public services here. And while certain Tories have

:13:52. > :13:54.expressed concern about the DUP's opposition to same-sex marriage and

:13:55. > :13:59.abortion, there is some support for them among voters in places like

:14:00. > :14:05.this. Do you think they need to change those views? No, I agree with

:14:06. > :14:08.those views. Everybody's entitled to their opinion. If that's your

:14:09. > :14:15.opinion, you should stand for your rights. We have a right to speak

:14:16. > :14:19.out. The DUP's religious roots mean faith is often a factor. But when

:14:20. > :14:24.they speak to Theresa May, expect their demands to be more practical

:14:25. > :14:29.and political. All indications are that the DUP had to Downing Street

:14:30. > :14:31.intent on doing a deal. Along with cash, they are likely to want

:14:32. > :14:39.influence on subjects like Brexit. But what is good for stability in

:14:40. > :14:42.Westminster could cause instability at Stormont. A short time ago, the

:14:43. > :14:45.Northern Ireland Secretary James Brokenshire I gave a statement in

:14:46. > :14:49.which he said the two issues are separate, but he wouldn't take

:14:50. > :14:52.questions from reporters, perhaps a sign that the Conservatives feel a

:14:53. > :14:56.little caught in the middle and perhaps in a rather uncomfortable

:14:57. > :14:58.situation where two negotiations could cause problems for each other.

:14:59. > :15:01.Many thanks, Chris. There's been a dramatic drop

:15:02. > :15:03.in business confidence since the election result,

:15:04. > :15:05.according to the Institute A survey of 700 members suggested

:15:06. > :15:09.there was deep concern over the political uncertainty

:15:10. > :15:11.and its impact on the economy. So for more on the view

:15:12. > :15:14.from business, here's our Coming up fast, Brexit negotiations

:15:15. > :15:24.are due to start next Monday, but after the election result

:15:25. > :15:27.the direction of travel is more uncertain than ever, and businesses

:15:28. > :15:29.like Aston Martin are worried. It's almost the worst of all worlds,

:15:30. > :15:33.because you now have a hung parliament, where nothing can be

:15:34. > :15:37.taken as a given. Let's understand the direction

:15:38. > :15:41.of travel, let's work between government and industry,

:15:42. > :15:44.let us understand where we're going to and we can

:15:45. > :15:48.adapt to the situation. That will allow us then to continue

:15:49. > :15:50.the investments that On Friday, in the immediate

:15:51. > :15:56.aftermath of the election, business groups gathered

:15:57. > :15:59.here at the Department for Business, with a regular meeting

:16:00. > :16:03.with the Secretary of State. The problem is, many of them feel

:16:04. > :16:07.that up to now their voice goes no further than this building,

:16:08. > :16:09.and are hoping that a weakened Theresa May will have to listen more

:16:10. > :16:12.to her Cabinet colleagues and to the voice of business -

:16:13. > :16:14.particularly Up to now, I don't think business

:16:15. > :16:20.has managed to get it views across effectively enough,

:16:21. > :16:22.or it simply hasn't been listened to, and that's particularly true

:16:23. > :16:26.of smaller businesses. Now I think we've got a bit

:16:27. > :16:29.of a window and that might change, and that might enable there to be

:16:30. > :16:33.a bit of a rethink about some of these questions about the single

:16:34. > :16:35.market, the customs union, how the regulatory frameworks

:16:36. > :16:38.are going to work. While many, in fact most,

:16:39. > :16:42.businesses would like to retain preferential access to our largest

:16:43. > :16:49.export market, John Elliott, who runs this electrical goods

:16:50. > :16:51.manufacturer in County Durham, says we must not lose sight of why people

:16:52. > :16:54.like him voted to leave. My view of the Brexit is that we've

:16:55. > :17:00.got to leave them become the same as the other people who aren't

:17:01. > :17:03.in the European Union, countries like USA, Canada,

:17:04. > :17:06.Australia, Japan, and we trade like them and give up our free

:17:07. > :17:08.access to the single market, but get back control

:17:09. > :17:12.of our economy and immigration. Even ignoring the election result,

:17:13. > :17:16.there's evidence that the prospect of Brexit is affecting an industry

:17:17. > :17:19.that relies heavily There's been a 96% fall

:17:20. > :17:24.in the number of EU nationals registering to work

:17:25. > :17:27.as a nurse in the UK. The Institute of Directors

:17:28. > :17:30.polled its members over the weekend, and last week's election has had

:17:31. > :17:33.a clear negative impact There's been a sudden drop

:17:34. > :17:38.in business confidence, as a direct result of what happened

:17:39. > :17:41.in the election. Our members are feeling much less

:17:42. > :17:46.confident about the prospects for the UK economy and they're

:17:47. > :17:48.concerned about the potential impact It may be that the business voice

:17:49. > :17:53.gets wider audience in government, but with so much political

:17:54. > :17:56.uncertainty, even that prospect We'll have more on the election

:17:57. > :18:06.result later in the programme. And tonight on BBC One at 8:30,

:18:07. > :18:09.you can see a Panaroma special with Nick Robinson: Election 2017 -

:18:19. > :18:26.MPs, saying "I got us into this mess We've heard from the politicians -

:18:27. > :18:36.but what about the people? We get Tory grassroots

:19:33. > :19:39.in the back of a police van. King's College Hospital is sadly

:19:40. > :19:42.well used to treating stab victims, The amount of female

:19:43. > :19:50.patients that were involved, which I think was quite traumatic

:19:51. > :19:53.for the staff, and for Alos, patients were very distressed,

:19:54. > :19:56.and the people that brought them in, as well, it was all just unfolding

:19:57. > :19:59.in front of us. This hospital is one of five that

:20:00. > :20:02.responded to the terror attack. The skill of the surgeons

:20:03. > :20:05.and quality of the care provided has meant that everyone who made it

:20:06. > :20:10.to hospital has survived. One of them is Candice Hedge,

:20:11. > :20:14.reunited here with her family. Two other Australians

:20:15. > :20:24.didn't survive. Yeah, it's not fair that they didn't

:20:25. > :20:35.make it, and I don't know if I'm lucky or unlucky for making it,

:20:36. > :20:38.but, you know, I just want to try and be as positive as I can

:20:39. > :20:46.about a pretty bad situation. You've got lots of

:20:47. > :20:48.people to support, This is a hospital caring for mental

:20:49. > :20:54.as well as physical wounds, and this is a royal visit that

:21:06. > :21:09.a 31-year-old woman on suspicion of murder after a man was pushed

:21:10. > :21:12.into a moving tram The incident happened last night

:21:13. > :21:28.at Victoria Station. An investigation has begun into an

:21:29. > :21:34.instant that forced a Chinese plane to land in Sydney with a large hole

:21:35. > :21:38.in one of its engines. Passengers on board the flight bound for Shanghai

:21:39. > :21:43.described a burning smell and a loud noise shortly after take-off. The

:21:44. > :21:45.Airbus A330 managed to land safely and there were no reports of

:22:46. > :22:47.the crowd that people don't have the right to protest here,

:22:48. > :22:51.that they don't have permission. But the protesters have been saying

:22:52. > :22:53.they don't need permission, There were anti-corruption

:23:02. > :23:07.this nationwide protest, opposition leader Alexei Navalny,

:23:08. > :23:12.he was detained as he left home. Not everyone today was in the mood

:23:13. > :23:17.to criticise the government. In Moscow, this patriotic festival -

:23:30. > :23:31.life better", he says. "Not one revolution has ever

:23:32. > :23:36.brought anything good". Up the road, this was no Russian

:23:44. > :23:56.across the UK have been mulling over the election results and some

:23:57. > :24:00.of the surprises that emerged. One of those was Bristol North West,

:24:01. > :24:02.where constituents ousted the sitting Tory MP and gave Labour

:24:03. > :24:07.a majority of more Our correspondent Jon Kay has been

:24:08. > :24:18.speaking to grassroots supporters about what they want the party to do

:24:19. > :24:21.in response to the election result. Politics is a brutal

:24:22. > :24:23.business, and here, things This Conservative seat has

:24:24. > :24:30.been claimed by Labour. This afternoon, we brought together

:24:31. > :24:40.some rather bruised Conservatives. They all agree that Theresa May

:24:41. > :24:43.won't survive long term, but they say she must stay

:24:44. > :24:45.on for now. We start discussions

:24:46. > :24:48.on Brexit next week. Now is really not the time to be

:24:49. > :24:54.trying to change the Prime Minister. How much credibility does she have

:24:55. > :24:56.at the negotiating table for Brexit if everybody is saying

:24:57. > :24:59.she can be the leader for the next couple of years,

:25:00. > :25:01.but probably not beyong that? of the fifth largest

:25:02. > :25:04.economy in the world. For others, a case of needs must,

:25:05. > :25:11.but they do agree that after Mrs May's campaign,

:25:12. > :25:13.they need to think A good orator, someone

:25:14. > :25:17.with charisma, I mean, I've gone through

:25:18. > :25:30.the options in my head and I keep coming back to Boris Johnson just

:25:31. > :25:33.because even if you hate him, he's quite persuasive and we need

:25:34. > :25:39.someone to counteract Jeremy Corbyn. They say the manifesto went down

:25:40. > :25:41.badly when they were going door-to-door here

:25:42. > :25:44.in Bristol North West, and that the Conservatives need

:25:45. > :25:47.to think about principles, In the meantime, let's do some

:25:48. > :25:54.real soul-searching. If don't have an ideology,

:25:55. > :25:57.if you don't have roots that you can go back to,

:25:58. > :26:00.if you don't have an ideology people can understand,

:26:01. > :26:02.we will lose to Jeremy Corbyn, because at the moment,

:26:03. > :26:05.we look like a soulless party which is just based around

:26:06. > :26:07.one woman's leadership They told me they want Mrs May

:26:08. > :26:12.to involve the grassroots more, I want more control from members

:26:13. > :26:18.at Bristol level, national level, and I think that I want a leader

:26:19. > :26:23.that will listen to us and act. Do you feel you've

:26:24. > :26:25.not been listened to? People buy into visions

:26:26. > :26:40.for the future, a country "We're not Corbyn, we're not

:26:41. > :26:44.socialist, vote for us". These are not conversations Tories

:26:45. > :27:00.here were expecting to have. Thank you. Divided fortunes for the

:27:01. > :27:05.rest of the week. The further north and west you are, some rain at

:27:06. > :27:08.times, not all the time and it will sometimes be breezy. Further south

:27:09. > :27:13.and east, mostly dry and quite humid. The southern areas will also

:27:14. > :27:17.see the best of the sunshine, that was the case today, thanks to our

:27:18. > :27:21.weather watcher in Kent. Where we had some sunny spells in the south

:27:22. > :27:25.and east, that's where we will have clear spells tonight and it will get

:27:26. > :27:29.a bit chilly away from towns and cities. Northern Ireland, Wales,

:27:30. > :27:33.north-west England and Scotland, some cloud and rain. Some of the

:27:34. > :27:37.rain could turn heavily in places through the first part of tomorrow

:27:38. > :27:41.morning. Then it will break up into something more like showers,

:27:42. > :27:48.although some of those showers could be hefty. Not as windy in the North,

:27:49. > :27:51.further south largely dry, some sunshine, the best of that on the

:27:52. > :27:54.south coast and into the Channel Islands. Temperatures creeping up,

:27:55. > :27:59.23 in London. This area of low pressure tries to squash its weight

:28:00. > :28:04.in from the west midweek but meets resistance from this area of high

:28:05. > :28:09.pressure. It will force this warm air up from the south, pretty humid,

:28:10. > :28:14.especially across England and Wales. Wednesday a humid day, sunny day,

:28:15. > :28:18.strong sunshine with high UV levels. Different in Northern Ireland and

:28:19. > :28:24.Scotland, cloud, rain and look at the contrast in the temperatures.

:28:25. > :28:28.26-27 in the south-east, 16-17 further north and west. In the humid

:28:29. > :28:32.air in the south-west, a chance of some thunderstorms in the night

:28:33. > :28:37.Wednesday and Thursday but a weather pushers in from the west, and things

:28:38. > :28:40.turning fresher for most of us at the end of the week but divided

:28:41. > :28:46.fortunes, rain in the north and mainly fine in the South. Thank you.

:28:47. > :28:53.Theresa May apologise to Tory and he's have got us into this mess and

:28:54. > :28:54.get us out of it. That's all from the BBC News at Six,

:28:55. > :28:58.so it's goodbye from me -
