:00:00. > :00:00.Tonight at six, at last the deal is done -

:00:07. > :00:11.Theresa May gets backing for her minority government.

:00:12. > :00:19.The DUP will back the Government on crucial votes.

:00:20. > :00:22.In return, they get an extra ?1 billion for Northern Ireland.

:00:23. > :00:25.Today, we have reached an outcome that is good for the United Kingdom,

:00:26. > :00:27.good for Northern Ireland, and allows our nation

:00:28. > :00:33.to move forward to tackle the challenges ahead.

:00:34. > :00:37.We'll hear from critics who accuse the Government of bribing the DUP.

:00:38. > :00:39.Also tonight, the Grenfell Tower aftermath.

:00:40. > :00:42.every high-rise that's been checked

:00:43. > :00:51.has failed its fire safety test - 75 and counting.

:00:52. > :00:57.Three nights after they evacuated their high-rise flats, residents of

:00:58. > :00:59.falls to move again - and they are angry.

:01:00. > :01:01.We have been evacuated, we are homeless, we are on the street.

:01:02. > :01:06.This is my anger towards those who are responsible.

:01:07. > :01:10.Their home from home - Theresa May's assurance

:01:11. > :01:13.for over three million EU nationals in Britain.

:01:14. > :01:16.No EU citizen currently in the UK lawfully will be asked to leave

:01:17. > :01:22.at the point the UK leaves the EU - we want you to stay.

:01:23. > :01:25.The deaths of five men who drowned at Camber Sands -

:01:26. > :01:31.the inquest hears of the hidden dangers of the beach.

:01:32. > :02:05.Good evening and welcome to the BBC News At Six.

:02:06. > :02:08.Finally, after more than two weeks of talking, Theresa May has a deal

:02:09. > :02:11.with the Democratic Unionist Party that will allow her to govern

:02:12. > :02:13.even though she did not win an outright majority

:02:14. > :02:19.But the deal comes with a cost - in return for their support

:02:20. > :02:22.in Parliament, the DUP has extracted an extra ?1 billion

:02:23. > :02:25.of public spending in Northern Ireland.

:02:26. > :02:26.The deal has been heavily criticised,

:02:27. > :02:33.with both governments arguing they should also receive extra cash.

:02:34. > :02:35.This report from our political editor, Laura Kuenssberg,

:02:36. > :02:51.18 days since the election, nearly three weeks of waiting, a political

:02:52. > :02:58.lifetime for the Prime Minister. Deal or no deal, Mrs faster? But the

:02:59. > :03:02.DUP, power on their side, have been taking their time. Not just friends,

:03:03. > :03:13.but this is a snap of a political family now. A deal agreed at the

:03:14. > :03:17.Cabinet table, no less. We share the desire to have a strong government

:03:18. > :03:22.able to put through... A strong government? Well, less wobbly

:03:23. > :03:27.perhaps. The Northern Ireland party promising their votes in parliament

:03:28. > :03:31.to prop up Theresa May - that gives, just, a majority. This is what they

:03:32. > :03:35.get in return. Following our discussions, the Conservative Party

:03:36. > :03:40.has recognised the case for higher funding in Northern Ireland, given

:03:41. > :03:46.our unique and indeed circumstances over recent decades. Today we have

:03:47. > :03:51.reached an outcome that is good for the United Kingdom. The Tories have

:03:52. > :03:57.promised the DUP an extra ?1 billion of taxpayers' cash over the next two

:03:58. > :04:00.years to spend on infrastructure, health or education projects, and

:04:01. > :04:04.the Tories have had to drop their idea of means testing Winter Fuel

:04:05. > :04:10.Payments for the elderly and making changes to pensions. But in return,

:04:11. > :04:16.the ten DUP MPs will back the Tories on big votes, like the Queen's

:04:17. > :04:22.Speech or the Budget. The election through the Tory majority away. As

:04:23. > :04:26.you see on her face, Theresa May would never have chosen this

:04:27. > :04:30.scenario. But they've signed on the dotted line, so they have something

:04:31. > :04:37.to count on, knowing full well at other parts of the UK will be angry

:04:38. > :04:43.- and how. This is cash for votes, this is a bung at the end of the

:04:44. > :04:47.day, in two years' time, the DUP will ask for more money. Taxpayers

:04:48. > :04:52.in England, Wales in Scotland will continue to suffer austerity, and

:04:53. > :04:55.Northern Ireland won't. This is not Northern Ireland control of

:04:56. > :04:59.parliament. It is about being able to make Westminster work at all.

:05:00. > :05:04.Ministers knew this criticism would come, are they prepared? I am not

:05:05. > :05:07.against investment in Northern Ireland, I welcome investment in

:05:08. > :05:14.public services, but there ought to be fairness. Scotland should be

:05:15. > :05:17.getting its fair share. You're paying ?100 million to the DUP for

:05:18. > :05:21.every single one of their votes, you have paid them off, haven't you?

:05:22. > :05:24.People in all parts of the country are benefiting from the fact that we

:05:25. > :05:27.have a strong enough economy to spend more money on health, 8

:05:28. > :05:31.billion on health around the country. If you are cancelling

:05:32. > :05:35.austerity in Northern Ireland, you are not cancelling it anywhere else

:05:36. > :05:40.- people in Scotland, Wales, north of England have every right to be a

:05:41. > :05:46.cross about this. People in other parts of the country are getting

:05:47. > :05:49.money, but this is separate from that. This has already existed, so

:05:50. > :05:53.it is not unprecedented. The extra cash might help resurrect joint rule

:05:54. > :05:56.in Northern Ireland, but it just wouldn't have happened if they

:05:57. > :06:00.hadn't agreed to back Theresa May. This small group might not be

:06:01. > :06:02.familiar faces yet, but they are now part of the power behind a shaky

:06:03. > :06:04.throne. In a moment, we can speak

:06:05. > :06:07.to Laura in Westminster, but first let's go to Belfast,

:06:08. > :06:11.and our correspondent Chris Page. Chris, what are the implications

:06:12. > :06:13.of the deal for Northern Ireland, especially as negotiations

:06:14. > :06:26.are under way to re-establish How has this gone down with the

:06:27. > :06:30.other parties in Northern Ireland? Well, the DUP leader, Arlene Foster,

:06:31. > :06:33.went from one negotiation to another, straight from Downing

:06:34. > :06:37.Street into talks here at Stormont with the other parties, trying to

:06:38. > :06:41.strike a deal to restore devolved government here. There has been no

:06:42. > :06:43.power-sharing executive at Stormont since January, and things for the

:06:44. > :06:48.negotiators were on hold until people saw what was in the deal

:06:49. > :06:51.between the DUP and the Tories in London, and as so often in Northern

:06:52. > :07:01.Ireland, you have two ways of looking at it. On the one hand,

:07:02. > :07:04.annexed ?4 million for interest -- infrastructure, also for health and

:07:05. > :07:07.education, what politician wouldn't want to get their hands on that? On

:07:08. > :07:11.the other hand, could the fact that the DUP and the Tories are now

:07:12. > :07:15.working so closely together at Westminster bring a sense of unease

:07:16. > :07:19.for nationalist, could they think that, for example, the DUP could get

:07:20. > :07:25.pavers, put them at an unfair advantage? Supple and you're talking

:07:26. > :07:28.still to be done, Sinn Fein not wildly enthusiastic about the deal

:07:29. > :07:34.but not pouring cold water on it either. So plenty of talking still

:07:35. > :07:38.to be done. Laura Kuenssberg, Theresa May has got deal, but how

:07:39. > :07:43.much stronger is her politically? It is like she has been flying around

:07:44. > :07:46.in a limbo experiencing turbulence in the disappointing election

:07:47. > :07:51.results. She has now come into land, if you like, budget has landed on

:07:52. > :07:54.very shaky ground. There is concern inside the Conservative Party about

:07:55. > :08:00.the image of this deal being tied to the DUP in this kind of way, there

:08:01. > :08:03.is also real anger from some of the other parties, and in Cardiff,

:08:04. > :08:07.Edinburgh and probably the North of England too, if the DUP has managed

:08:08. > :08:10.to get this extra cash for Northern Ireland, what about the rest of the

:08:11. > :08:14.country? But I think it comes down to the brute force of the numbers -

:08:15. > :08:19.without this deal, Theresa May did not have a majority in the House of

:08:20. > :08:21.Commons, without this deal, therefore there was absolutely no

:08:22. > :08:26.guarantee that she would be able to get anything done, and without this

:08:27. > :08:30.deal, she was very vulnerable to any kind of confidence vote and simply

:08:31. > :08:34.not being able to get her Queen's Speech through the Commons later

:08:35. > :08:39.this week. So what this does is give her a layer of political protection,

:08:40. > :08:42.but does it mean she is suddenly massively reinforced and

:08:43. > :08:46.strengthened? Not tonight. Laura, thank you.

:08:47. > :08:48.Now, in the last hour, the Government has announced

:08:49. > :08:50.that 75 high-rise residential buildings in 26 council

:08:51. > :08:52.areas around the country have failed fire tests.

:08:53. > :08:55.That amounts to every single building that's been checked so far.

:08:56. > :08:57.Local Government Secretary Sajid Javid says that

:08:58. > :09:00.1,000 fire doors were missing from the Camden tower blocks

:09:01. > :09:04.Meanwhile, the company which makes the cladding that's thought to have

:09:05. > :09:07.been used on Grenfell Tower has withdrawn the product.

:09:08. > :09:17.Our home affairs correspondent Tom Symonds has the latest.

:09:18. > :09:25.Aluminium cladding - for smarter and cosier Council flats. Well, that was

:09:26. > :09:29.the promise. Around the country, this was billing on Deeside,

:09:30. > :09:33.councils have been reduced to this - taking it off and sending it for

:09:34. > :09:37.testing, leaving residents concerned and confused. They are not very

:09:38. > :09:42.happy about it, are they? They felt it should have been put right in the

:09:43. > :09:45.first place. When the shiny stuff is gone, this is what is left behind,

:09:46. > :09:52.along with a cladding crisis as councils try to understand if their

:09:53. > :09:55.residents are at risk. Many are having to introduce additional fire

:09:56. > :09:59.inspections and government guidance sent out last week, not least for

:10:00. > :10:03.reassurance. It is frightening, really frightening, it makes you

:10:04. > :10:10.feel sick, really, just to think how it could happen like that. But this

:10:11. > :10:18.is the legacy of the housing catastrophe two weeks ago. The tests

:10:19. > :10:25.are happening in secret - so far - at this research centre. Samples

:10:26. > :10:28.from 75 towers have been sent. The combustibility test has three

:10:29. > :10:33.categories, rated one to three, and it is judged that cladding material

:10:34. > :10:35.in category two or three macro does not meet the requirements for

:10:36. > :10:42.limited combustibility in building regulations. I can also confirm to

:10:43. > :10:47.the House that, so far, on that basis, all samples are cladding

:10:48. > :10:52.tested have failed. But, as far as anyone currently knows, this was

:10:53. > :10:56.cladding past as safe by building inspectors. The building regulations

:10:57. > :11:00.are complex, but they start from a basic principle - the external walls

:11:01. > :11:04.of the building shall adequately resist the spread of fire. The

:11:05. > :11:08.question is, how to meet that requirement. Well, there is another

:11:09. > :11:13.document, something called approved document B, which in a section which

:11:14. > :11:17.doesn't even mention cladding, says materials used should be of limited

:11:18. > :11:21.combustible Ndidi, meaning they burn slowly. But even that is not

:11:22. > :11:28.straightforward - designers can instead turn two two more documents,

:11:29. > :11:31.these two, which set out other ways that components such as fire

:11:32. > :11:41.barriers can be used, including using a desktop study to prove it is

:11:42. > :11:44.safe. It may well be that the recommendations and guidance need to

:11:45. > :11:48.be updated to take account of changing technology in the building

:11:49. > :11:52.industry. Secondly, we are concerned that the current regulations and

:11:53. > :11:56.guidance are not being applied and enforced strictly enough. Indeed,

:11:57. > :12:00.the Communities Secretary told the Commons today that 1000 fire doors

:12:01. > :12:07.were missing from the towers evacuated in Camden following safety

:12:08. > :12:09.concerns. The inquest into four more of the victims opened today. The

:12:10. > :12:14.coroner will consider what contributed to their deaths, as will

:12:15. > :12:19.the police. The planned public inquiry will look at possible much

:12:20. > :12:25.wider failings in public safety. Because the pain of the Grenfell

:12:26. > :12:28.tragedy goes deep, the family of 52-year-old Khadijah Killeavy held a

:12:29. > :12:32.funeral blessing for her today. She is just one of at least 79 victims.

:12:33. > :12:33.Tom Symonds, BBC News. Three days after hundreds

:12:34. > :12:36.of residents from four tower blocks in Camden in north London were asked

:12:37. > :12:39.to evacuate their homes, there's confusion about how

:12:40. > :12:41.and where they will be re-housed. Sophie Hutchinson has been

:12:42. > :12:53.speaking to some of them. People continued packing up their

:12:54. > :12:58.flats today and moving out of the tower blocks on the estate in North

:12:59. > :13:04.London. Some families have been found temporary accommodation, but

:13:05. > :13:09.at others say they feel abandoned by the council with nowhere to go. This

:13:10. > :13:14.resident has spent the last two nights in a hotel with his wife and

:13:15. > :13:19.four children, but they can't stay there tonight. Yesterday I called

:13:20. > :13:23.the council that my stay in the hotel is running out tomorrow. Find

:13:24. > :13:29.us, you know, a solution, what are you going to do? And all I hear, we

:13:30. > :13:33.are looking at your case, we will find you something, hopefully. What

:13:34. > :13:38.hope is this? I don't understand what the hope is? This is the hotel

:13:39. > :13:42.room the family of six leptin last night, filmed by their daughter.

:13:43. > :13:51.Today staff told them to leave. He is hoping he may have found a flat

:13:52. > :13:53.for tonight, but when we left him, it still wasn't confirmed. Now we

:13:54. > :13:57.feel as victims, we are victims, because we have been evacuated, we

:13:58. > :14:01.are homeless, we are on the street. This is my anger towards those who

:14:02. > :14:06.are responsible. The Swiss Cottage leisure centre is where those

:14:07. > :14:09.families with nowhere to go have been sleeping - one of the residents

:14:10. > :14:14.captured the conditions inside on his mobile phone. People from four

:14:15. > :14:18.of the five tower blocks on the estate have been told to leave

:14:19. > :14:24.because of safety fears over gas pipes, fire doors, and cladding.

:14:25. > :14:28.Those are the two panels they have taken away? Yes. I eat has refused

:14:29. > :14:32.to leave the flat where he lives with his wife and disabled mother

:14:33. > :14:39.because he says he has not been offered a realistic alternative.

:14:40. > :14:47.Offering us a one-bedroom disabled access facility about three males

:14:48. > :14:52.away, NW10, a bedroom with two beds, we would have to share a room with

:14:53. > :14:58.my mum for one month. Safety checks were under way at the blocks today,

:14:59. > :15:01.with the numbers refusing to leave increasing, and Camden Council is

:15:02. > :15:04.appealing for cooperation. Sophie Hutchinson, BBC News.

:15:05. > :15:11.It is very nearly quarter past six, our top story this evening. The deal

:15:12. > :15:12.with the DUP is done, Theresa May get backing for her minority

:15:13. > :15:13.government. And still to come, how many hours'

:15:14. > :15:17.sleep do you get a night, Coming up in Sportsday on BBC News -

:15:18. > :15:25.Heather Watson makes an excellent start to the week at Eastbourne -

:15:26. > :15:27.the British No 3 beat the fourth seed, Dominika Cibulkova,

:15:28. > :15:38.in straight sets to reach Theresa May has reassured the more

:15:39. > :15:42.than three million EU nationals living in Britain that they will not

:15:43. > :15:46.be forced to leave The Prime Minister said EU citizens

:15:47. > :15:52.legally in the UK would have what she called "settled status" -

:15:53. > :15:54.enjoying all the rights of UK citizens except the right to vote

:15:55. > :15:57.in general elections. But as our political correspondent

:15:58. > :15:59.Vicki Young reports - the offer depends on British

:16:00. > :16:12.citizens living in the EU Theresa May says she is giving

:16:13. > :16:18.reassurance and certainty. Is your offer to EU nationals good enough?

:16:19. > :16:22.Allaying the anxieties is a priority according to the Prime Minister and

:16:23. > :16:27.she told MPs she had a serious and fair offer to make. Under these

:16:28. > :16:31.plans, no EU citizen currently in the UK lawfully will be asked to

:16:32. > :16:37.leave at the point the UK leave the EU. EU citizens will be able to

:16:38. > :16:43.apply for something called settled status. The right to live in the UK

:16:44. > :16:45.permanently, accessing public services and other benefits.

:16:46. > :16:50.Applicants will have to have lived in Britain for at least five

:16:51. > :16:54.continuous years. They will have needed to come here before a certain

:16:55. > :16:57.cut-off date which is yet to be agreed. In Brussels last week,

:16:58. > :17:04.Theresa May said that could be as early as March March this year. EU

:17:05. > :17:10.leaders say the deadline should be the date the UK leave is expected in

:17:11. > :17:15.2019. The Labour leader says all of this should have been sorted out a

:17:16. > :17:21.year ago. The Prime Minister has dragged the issue of citizens and

:17:22. > :17:25.families into the complex and delicate negotiations of our future

:17:26. > :17:29.trade relations with the European Union, which she herself has been

:17:30. > :17:33.willing to say, may result in failure. This isn't a generous

:17:34. > :17:39.offer, this is confirmation the government is prepared to use people

:17:40. > :17:42.as bargaining chips. And another row brewing over who sort out any legal

:17:43. > :17:51.disputes about these citizens' rights. Would you give assurance

:17:52. > :17:54.that any pressures will allow the European Court of Justice any role

:17:55. > :18:00.in immigration status of EU citizens within this country, be flatly

:18:01. > :18:03.opposed? I believe that in terms of assuring the rights of EU citizens

:18:04. > :18:07.living in the United Kingdom, we believe that should be done through

:18:08. > :18:11.our courts and not the European Court of Justice. Theresa May

:18:12. > :18:16.promising a smooth and streamline the process to make it easy for EU

:18:17. > :18:21.citizens to secure the rights after Brexit. The Home Office will have to

:18:22. > :18:25.set up a new system, potentially dealing with millions of

:18:26. > :18:30.applications. A huge challenge and officials hope it will be up and

:18:31. > :18:35.running by next year. Before that, there will be tough talks. The EU's

:18:36. > :18:36.Brexit negotiator has already called for more ambition, clarity and

:18:37. > :18:39.guarantees from the UK. So how have Theresa May's words gone

:18:40. > :18:42.down with EU nationals living here Our correspondent Jeremy Cooke

:18:43. > :18:58.has been finding out. SINGING

:18:59. > :19:05.In a quiet corner of London, German voices raised in song. Many of the

:19:06. > :19:08.singers have been here for decades, and the government announcement

:19:09. > :19:14.today is meant to offer them reassurance. It could just change

:19:15. > :19:21.any time, that is my feeling. So much insecurity. It is certainly the

:19:22. > :19:24.fact we are a bargaining chip. I am still the eternal optimist and I

:19:25. > :19:31.hope ultimately the politicians will put people first. The choirmaster is

:19:32. > :19:38.Barbara, a professional singer. She shaken by the Brexit vote and its

:19:39. > :19:42.consequences. I just don't see why suddenly, because of issues of the

:19:43. > :19:47.NHS, we want money for the NHS, or issues of, we don't like foreigners,

:19:48. > :19:55.suddenly we're treated like second-class citizens. Does it feel

:19:56. > :19:59.like that to you? Very much so. The reader may would say the evidence

:20:00. > :20:05.today is that they want you to stay, you will be given settled citizen

:20:06. > :20:11.status. It is not how it feels. SINGING

:20:12. > :20:17.Over in Berlin, it is the Brits in full voice. Most here are confident

:20:18. > :20:24.they can stay after the UK leads the EU. As someone who personifies free

:20:25. > :20:29.movement, having come here 20 years ago and reaped all of the benefits,

:20:30. > :20:33.I am concerned a whole generation and other generations will miss out.

:20:34. > :20:36.At the moment, I don't have to choose between the two countries and

:20:37. > :20:43.I think that would be hard. Since the Brexit vote, actually, it would

:20:44. > :20:49.make it easier for me to become a German and give up my British

:20:50. > :20:55.citizenship. The choirmaster here is Andrew Symonds, he moved to Berlin

:20:56. > :20:58.in 1988. Maybe when people see the real costs of Brexit, of leaving

:20:59. > :21:02.what I believe is the greatest peace project in the history of humanity,

:22:21. > :22:28.No sign of what one lawyer today called its "hidden dangers".

:22:29. > :22:31.But last summer, this was the same beach shortly

:22:36. > :22:41.Today, the men's families came to the inquest and spoke

:22:42. > :22:49.We're just happy to learn that at least they will be

:22:50. > :22:51.more secure and safer, lifeguards and the beach

:22:52. > :22:56.That is our only thought, this is what we wanted.

:22:57. > :22:58.Nitharsan Ravi was one of the five men to drown.

:23:04. > :23:14.The inquest heard they were all fit and all of them could swim.

:23:15. > :23:17.But one month earlier, Mohit Dupar and Gustavo Silva Da Cruz also

:23:18. > :23:24.The fact that seven men drowned here in the space of one month has

:23:30. > :23:35.that he wanted to make sure that it never happened again.

:23:36. > :23:39.At the time of both incidents, there were no permanent

:23:43. > :23:45.The families of the men who died say they want lessons learned so no

:24:19. > :24:21.We spend nearly a third of our lives asleep.

:24:22. > :24:24.It is vital for our physical and mental health,

:24:25. > :24:30.but we are getting less sleep than ever.

:24:31. > :24:34.British neuroscientist Adrian Owen, based in Ontario, believes this may

:24:35. > :24:38.be having a serious effect on our brainpower.

:24:39. > :24:41.Every day, we make hundreds of decisions, we remember

:24:42. > :24:44.hundreds of things. We make difficult decisions like,

:24:45. > :24:48.should I buy a house? Should I get married?

:24:49. > :24:50.But we also have to remember many, many simple things,

:24:51. > :24:53.like where I parked the car or what I intended to buy

:24:54. > :24:59.All of these things can be affected by lack of sleep.

:25:00. > :25:02.You are going to sleep for four hours and then I am going to come

:25:03. > :25:07.I joined volunteers at Western University, Ontario,

:25:26. > :25:31.Good morning, Fergus, time to get up.

:25:32. > :25:34.We were about to repeat the brain tests we had

:25:35. > :25:41.How are you feeling? So, I'm feeling...

:25:42. > :25:49.Most of our scores went down compared to the night before.

:25:50. > :25:52.How did you do this morning? The worst.

:25:53. > :25:55.This was the worst you ever did? This was the worst ever, yeah.

:25:56. > :25:58.Kisses for your sister, that's really nice.

:25:59. > :26:01.But Sylvie, whose daughters wake her several times a night,

:26:02. > :26:08.Maybe I've just gotten used to functioning on very little sleep.

:26:09. > :26:11.I have to be on as soon as my kids wake up.

:26:12. > :26:17.I've finished and I've done quite badly.

:26:18. > :26:20.I also did the test while having my brain scanned.

:26:21. > :26:24.After a normal night's sleep, my brain was functioning well -

:26:25. > :26:27.the bright orange blobs are areas of increased activity.

:26:28. > :26:31.And this is the scan done after four hours' sleep.

:26:32. > :26:38.It's pretty clear there is much less activity in these areas of the brain

:26:39. > :26:41.that we know are crucial for things like decision-making,

:26:42. > :26:48.So, our 24-hour culture could be having a serious impact on society.

:26:49. > :26:52.This study should reveal how much sleep we need for our brains

:27:04. > :27:11.Time for a look at the weather now. Here's Tomasz Schafernaker.

:27:12. > :27:19.Rain on the way in short and a fair bit particularly for north-west

:27:20. > :27:23.areas. I think all of us will have at least a bit of rain. Beautiful

:27:24. > :27:30.pictures coming in. This one from Scarborough. Beautiful seaside huts.

:27:31. > :27:35.The weather is changing across many western areas. Clouds pushed in by

:27:36. > :27:40.the jet stream which means rain. Across the rest of the country, not

:27:41. > :27:45.so bad, still some sunny weather across many eastern and central

:27:46. > :27:50.areas. Out west, the cloud increasing, already starting to rain

:27:51. > :27:55.across parts of Northern Ireland and Scotland, a couple of showers. The

:27:56. > :27:59.early evening looking dry here. Raining pretty hard across parts of

:28:00. > :28:04.Northern Ireland tonight through the course of the night. That will

:28:05. > :28:08.eventually move into south-western Scotland, Lake District, northern

:28:09. > :28:14.Wales as well. The weather in the south will be dry but warm.

:28:15. > :28:21.Tomorrow, low pressure right over us. Three loans circling us as we go

:28:22. > :28:24.through the course of the day. The wettest of the weather will be

:28:25. > :28:32.across the north. In the size, we might find some thunderstorms

:28:33. > :28:40.developing. Wherever you are tomorrow, be prepared for some rain.

:28:41. > :28:45.Tuesday night into Wednesday, those low-pressure area is still with us

:28:46. > :28:50.and some unpleasant pictures, different to last week. Look at

:28:51. > :28:53.those temperatures. Not feeling very summary at all.
