:07:27. > :07:32.that millions of eggs have now been pulled from supermarket shelves on
:07:33. > :07:37.the continent. Fipranol may be popular for getting rid of fleas on
:07:38. > :07:41.pets but it can be dangerous to humans. Here in the UK, we produce
:07:42. > :07:46.our own eggs but also import them full stop some of the eggs from
:07:47. > :07:53.affected farms have ended up here as well. We're not talking about fresh
:07:54. > :07:57.eggs we buy off supermarket shelves. The affected eggs went into
:07:58. > :08:02.processed foods like sandwich fillings and salads. A few days ago
:08:03. > :08:08.the Food Standards Agency said 21,000 eggs were affected. Today
:08:09. > :08:16.that shot up to 700,000. Sounds a lot but that is just .007% of all
:08:17. > :08:20.the eggs we eat every year. There is no reason why people should avoid
:08:21. > :08:28.eating eggs. Our assessment it is very unlikely it is a public health
:08:29. > :08:33.risk. People need to not have food which contains a substance that
:08:34. > :08:37.should not be there. Four supermarkets of limited number of

:24:48. > :24:55.was through the medium of science fiction.
:24:56. > :25:03.It gives you an even playing field, where you say to your younger

:26:01. > :26:02.repeating past ideas? That is a real problem
:26:03. > :26:06.because I keep thinking I must have I had a stroke a few years back,

:27:01. > :27:05.Schafernaker. Today was a pretty good day across most of the UK but
:27:06. > :27:09.we are starting the weather forecast with some ominous clouds. That means
:27:10. > :27:13.the weather is going little bit downhill tomorrow. The clouds will
:27:14. > :27:17.increase across many parts of the country with rain in the forecast as
:27:18. > :27:21.well. There's an extensive area of cloud across the Atlantic, we are in
:27:22. > :27:25.a window of fine weather which we have got out there right now and
:27:26. > :27:30.this is what it looks like a few hours ago. You can see plenty of
:27:31. > :27:35.weather, scattered fairweather clouds and some showers in the
:27:36. > :27:38.south-east. This evening, dry weather across England and Wales
:27:39. > :27:43.this coming night. By the end of the night we will probably have rain in
:27:44. > :27:48.Northern Ireland, western Scotland and additionally it will turn windy,
:27:49. > :27:53.even gale force winds. This is the low that will be moving across the
:27:54. > :27:58.UK tomorrow. In the evening for many it's not looking too bad. But
:27:59. > :28:02.western areas, with that south-westerly wind blowing off the
:28:03. > :28:08.Atlantic, comes also a big shroud of cloud and spots of rain. Most rain
:28:09. > :28:12.will be light so it is not a wet wet day but it will turn overcast. The
:28:13. > :28:17.south-east might stay dry through most of the day. Into Saturday the
:28:18. > :28:23.weather front moves through, the weather improves, but the morning
:28:24. > :28:27.might be a bit cloudy with drizzle but the afternoon is looking a lot
:28:28. > :28:32.better. Saturday overall a fine day, temperatures more like September to
:28:33. > :28:37.be honest, and much the same on Sunday, but compared to what some of
:28:38. > :28:42.us have had over the last few days we can say Sunday is looking fine.
:28:43. > :28:45.Here is the headline for the weekend, largely dry with sunny
:28:46. > :28:50.spells so finishing on a positive note. That's all from the BBC News
:28:51. > :28:51.at six so it's goodbye from me
