13/04/2017 Breakfast

Hello, this is Breakfast, with Sally Nugent and Charlie Stayt.

Nurses across the UK vote on whether to strike over pay.

More than 250,000 members of the Royal College of Nursing

are being asked their opinion on industrial action for the first

Also this morning, the investigation into a cluster of baby deaths

at a single hospital trust - we hear calls for further cases

It is not going to bring my VoIP back, but hopefully it will save

other babies and parents going through what we have gone through.

-- my boy back. Children from poorer families

will be given priority access to new grammar schools in England

under plans to be set out If you've visited a supermarket

megastore lately you might have noticed you can get your drycleaning

done, keys cut or collect your parcels while you shop -

I'll be asking the boss of Argos why he thinks multi-tasking can

save the big supermarkets. Leicester will have to fight back

in their Champions League quarter-final against

Atletico Madrid. Before the match, several fans

were hurt in clashes with police. Hold on tight as we celebrate 200

years of thrills since the opening Good morning. A chilly start to the

day. Frost around central and eastern areas. More cloud in the

west with spots of rain and drizzle. It will still be -- there will still

be bright spells to look forward to. More details in 15 minutes.

The largest nursing union is consulting with its members

across the UK on whether they should take industrial action in protest

at the government's decision to maintain a 1% cap

The Royal College of Nursing claims low wages are contributing to tens

of thousands of unfilled posts and unsafe staffing levels

But the government says the health service offers competitive pay.

Our health correspondent Sophie Hutchinson reports.

Unprecedented pressure in the NHS means nurses have never worked

harder and for so little, according to their union. The Royal College of

Nursing says because of pay freezes and they pay cap, nurses have seen

the money they take home cut in real terms by 14% since 2010. It says

that is why it has decided to ask staff whether they would be prepared

to strike. 270,000 NHS nurses will be able to vote in the online survey

over the next few weeks. Everybody is unhappy. Most nurses are unhappy

with their income. They are working harder than ever. But there have

been years of absolutely no pay increase. Some of our nurses are

telling us they absolutely love being a nurse, it is a fantastic

job, but they do not think they can afford to do it any more. The Royal

College of Nursing says low pay is driving people away from the

profession, and tens of thousands of posts remain vacant. But the

department of health said an extra 12,000 nurses have worked on wards

since 2010, and that frontline NHS services are being protected.

A new generation of grammar schools in England should be truly open

to everyone, not just the privileged few, according

to the Education Secretary Justine Greening.

In a speech today she will argue that "ordinary working families"

are the backbone of the economy and they should not have

Our political correspondent Chris Mason joins us from

The government is continuing to move forward with its grammar schools

It is, and it recognises nothing will get through the gist of what

Justine Greening has to seen a couple of hours, it recognises it

has some persuading to do. Theresa May has long been a passionate

advocate of grammar schools. She went to a grammar school herself.

But there is a huge amount of opposition from teaching unions and

other political parties, and indeed some Conservative MPs, to this idea.

So what Justine Greening is going to do is try to wind together one of

the big mantras of Theresa May, which is helping ordinary working

families. -- bind together. Not just the poorest, the government thinks

it does a good job for them already, at those who are a little above

that, though Sawai just managing. It will argue today that when you look

at the statistics a similar number of people from that background go to

grammar schools as go to competence of schools. But it also shows that a

disproportionate number of relatively well-off children go to

grammar schools, which gives you just some sense of the argument that

is still to come on this. Chris, thank you.

The families of two more babies who died under the care

of Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital Trust are calling for their deaths

to be included in the investigation ordered by the Health Secretary.

The review of the trust was announced by Jeremy Hunt

yesterday following the avoidable deaths of seven babies.

Five died following failures to monitor their heart rate

The trust says its mortality levels are in line with

Our social affairs correspondent, Michael Buchanan, has this report.

This is the NHS Trust whose mistakes keep causing the deaths of healthy

infants. Yesterday BBC News revealed that seven babies died unnecessarily

at the shrews Briand Telford Hospital Trust in a little over 18

months. The scale of the problems has prompted the Health Secretary to

order a review of maternity services. Jeremy Hunt wants to

ensure no more family suffer like this one. Tamsin Cook is lost her

daughter Ivy last May, aged just four months. That followed mistakes

at her birth. We all think something like this will never happen, it

won't happen to me. And it has. And I can only take it day by day

sometimes. If I am lucky, week by week. How old would you be there,

roughly? Probably five hours old. Other families are still pushing for

justice. Haley Matthews' son Jack died within hours of his birth in

2015. She says the trust never properly investigated the death.

Following investigations, however, the local coroner is now considering

holding an inquest. I was expecting a healthy baby. Two years I have

been fighting. It is not going to bring my boy back, but hopefully it

will save other babies and parents going through what we have gone

through. The trust say they have investigated or maternity deaths,

and say they will contact Hayley about her case. They also say they

are learning lessons from incidents and are improving services.

A 17-year-old girl has been charged with terrorism offences.

She's accused of communicating with a member of the so-called

Islamic State, and booking a ticket to fly to Istanbul,

with the intention of travelling to Syria.

The offences are alleged to have taken place between January 2016

President Trump has said relations with Russia may be at an all-time

low after his Secretary of State failed to persuade Russia to stop

Mr Trump said America had been right to fire missiles at a Syrian airbase

in response to a suspected chemical weapons attack last week.

From Washington, Laura Bicker reports.

Vladimir Putin said this US attack was an act of aggression. ... Donald

Trump said it was in response to a suspected war crime. The US believes

the Syrian President was responsible for using chemical weapons against

civilians. At a press conference alongside the Nato Secretary

General, Mr Trump condemned Bashar al-Assad. That is a butcher. That is

a butcher. I felt we had to do something about it. I have

absolutely no doubt we did the right thing, and it was very, very

successfully done, as you well know. Earlier, Russia vetoed a UN Security

Council resolution that would have compelled the Syrian President to

cull operate with an investigation into the attack, a response

President Trump described as disappointing. It would be

wonderful, as we were discussing just a little while ago, if Nato and

our country could get along with Russia. Right now we are not getting

along with Russia at all. We may be at an all-time low in terms of

relationships with Russia. This has built through a long period of time.

The US has said relations with Russia must improve. But how? The

two countries are on opposing sides in a civil war. Lots may depend on

how far Russia will go to defend the Syrian president and how far the US

wants to push to get rid of him. A ruling is due today

on whether the Russian government should have done more to prevent

the siege of a school in Beslan in 2004 by the European

Court of Human Rights. More than 330 people died

when security forces stormed a school where Chechen separatists

had taken over 1,000 people hostage. Survivors and parents,

who lost children, argue that Russia failed in its obligation to protect

citizens' lives from a known risk. TRANSLATION: As a mother, it is

terrible to bury your children. It shouldn't be this way. Having felt

this pain, I can't let anyone else suffer the same way. We have to do

everything we can so that is nothing like this is ever repeated. If there

is no investigation and no one is punished, then there will be more

terrorist attacks, more children will die, and people will suffer. I

can't let that happen. A BBC investigation has found that

construction faults, similar to those which led

to the closure of 17 schools in Edinburgh on safety grounds,

have been found at 71 other Although most have been repaired,

work has yet to be completed on six The Scottish Futures Trust,

which oversees public-private finance projects, says

it is reviewing its guidance. A missing link in the evolution

of dinosaurs has been discovered at the National History

Museum in London. After finding a lost fossil

which had been forgotten about for decades, scientists have

concluded that the precursors to dinosaurs had crocodile-like

ankles and walked on all-fours. Our science correspondent

Pallab Ghosh went to find out more. I don't quite know what that means.

It means they walked like a crocodile.

This is how we imagine dinosaurs. To run a Soros Rex was one of the very

last of them. -- to run a Soros Rex. The first evolved 250 million years

ago from crocodile like creatures which walked on two legs. This is

the skull of a mighty T Rex, one of the most fearsome creatures to walk

the planet. He first dinosaurs were much smaller, about the size of a

chicken. One of the biggest questions is how these creatures

first emerged. What we are looking at now is the skull of one

individual animal. The answer lies in the fossil of this animal, an

animal called Teleocrater. It had many dinosaur traits, such as a

small head and a long, slender neck and long legs. But also some

crocodile like features, such as the structure of its ankles. This is

what it looked like. Although it is not a direct ancestor it gives the

best indication yet of how the first dinosaurs evolved. In many ways this

animal is a missing link between dinosaurs and crocodiles and shows

how some of the features that were previously just appearing in

dinosaurs actually first evolved. So, for example, dinosaurs start off

as two legged animals, whereas most of their ancestors seem to be

4-legged. This animal shows how some of that transition between a

4-legged crocodile like animal and a two leg dinosaur actually happened.

The discovery, published in the journal Nature, fills a critical gap

in the fossil record, and shows that some dinosaur features evolved much

earlier than previously thought. Now you know. Yeah. That explained

it all. Thank you. Police officers were given the run

around in London yesterday A pig caused chaos when it escaped

and trotted through lunch-time A jogger had to dodge the animal,

who seemed to take a liking Well, that person in the green

jackets didn't do a good job. I think that was a jogger. Right,

well, eventually it was recaptured and returned to its owner. What do

you do with a pig? Is it a pet? Do you have a piglike that has a pet?

No, but I tell you, more people do. These micro gigs are a craze. That

wasn't micro! Is that the actual size of a micro pigs? No, they are

like a tiny dog. People buy them. At genetically you cannot guarantee

that it will remain a micro pigs. So you buy a micro pig and it turns

into a huge pig? How do you even know this stuff? That is incredible.

I don't know. My wildlife knowledge is deeper than people assume. Not

that pigs are wildlife. Let's talk about Leicester, anyway.

It is all about Leicester this morning. A remarkable result. I

watched the first half, then I had to go to bed. I thought I would wake

up to bad news this morning, but actually not as bad as Leicester

fans feared. Leicester will have to come

from behind if they are to reach the Champions League semi-finals

but they're still in with a chance. Antoine Griezemann's penalty gave

Atletico the lead but the Foxes held firm and they go

into the second leg just Monaco have a slender 3-2 lead

over Borussia Dortmund after their rearranged quarter-final

first leg which was played just a day after Dortmund's

team bus was attacked. Dortmund coach Thomas Tuchel

says his side felt "completely ignored" by UEFA with

the rescheduling and weren't Captain Wayne Rooney has been left

out of the Manchester United squad for tonight's Europa League

quarter-final first He's missed United's last two

matches with ankle problems. And Great Britain had a successful

start to the World Track Cycling Elinor Barker, who won gold in Rio

as a member of the team pursuit, picked up a silver medal this time

in the women's scratch race. The world track cycling

championships are going on all week and there is live coverage on the

BBC. Thank you very much indeed. Now for the weather. A chilly start

to the day if you are just just stepping out. A touch of frost.

Patchy mist and fog. Neither of those should last. Eastern areas,

bright. The west, cloudy. Eight o'clock this

morning, a fine start. As we go through the Midlands into Hampshire,

Devon, Cornwall, Wales, more cloud around. The odd spot of rain. More

cloud in the east. North and east Scotland seemed brighter skies. Some

showers again or light rain. Through the day, a nice and bright start in

central and eastern areas being eradicated by cloud from the west.

Nevertheless, still some holes in it. Hanging onto brighter skies in

the far south of England for the longest. South-west England will see

some holes as well through the day. Temperatures, 7- 14. Roughly

speaking, they are where they should be at this stage in April. Early

evening sunshine in the south. Through the course of the evening,

cloud coming in and patchy rain across central and northern areas.

The far north of Scotland is seeing clearer skies. That is how we start

the day tomorrow. Not as cold a start as we have got. We hang on to

this patchy rain as well. Cloud at times. Equally, bright skies. Behind

the rain moving south, sunshine and showers across parts of Scotland.

Temperatures, again, across the board, 10-13. In the south-east and

sunshine, 17. As we go through Saturday, a keen north-westerly

wind. A chilly direction. A lot of dry weather around on Saturday.

Again, some sunshine, variable amounts of cloud. Just the odd show

a here and there. By no means is this weekend a washout. And you can

see this ridge of high-pressure. A weather front. That weather front

will produce rain Not particularly heavy. Coming from the west in the

north. Cloud building ahead of it. Equally, bright spells. Temperatures

down on where they have been across Scotland. 7-9. The south, 15 is

possible. Again, almost where we should be at this time of year. Good

to hear. Thank you. The biggest nursing union

is asking its members whether they'd be willing to stage

industrial action over pay. The Education Secretary will say

new grammar schools planned for England would help the children

of ordinary working families. He is on the programme later, I

believe. Absolutely. The papers. Some of them concentrating on the

terror threat after what happened in the last few days. It is on the

front page of The Mirror and The Sun. Man U Terror Bomb Fears.

Presumably, it is an existing worry for football. We were talking about

that time a fake bomb was found in the toilets at Old Trafford after

they had been going through their security routines, you know, doing

the training. Somebody left the fake bomb in the toilets. Old Trafford

had to be completely evacuated, did indeed? I think they go through all

of these drills. -- didn't it. It is part of matched a protocol. But

after the attack on this bus of Borussia Dortmund, it is a question

of what will they do? Thousands of people in a confined space. It is an

easy target. Security is very, very tight. Very visible. You can see it

everywhere. The Telegraph. Britain hit by a surge in violent crime. You

may see some of these statistics in reference to gun and knife crime in

particular. The Daily Mail. Theresa May set to announce a cap on what

they call rip-off energy bills. Victoria Beckham and her daughter,

Harper, who has already had her name registered as a trademark that she

is five. A couple of things for you. Verstappen, yesterday, we talked

about Tesco result. -- first up. They are doing well. The Telegraph

picks up on it. Do you know does parody books you can get? Yes!

Demands for those has gone up. And also a fair few shops in airports

and the like have helped them to weather a sharp fall in other things

that have fallen. We are not seeing colouring books much, but these

parody Ladybird books. That is interesting. We are talking about

deliveries in the future. How are we going to get them in the future?

Drones? Here is one. This is a "Robo-Postie!" It is a robotic post

man who goes around on wheels. It is like a driverless delivery vehicle.

Customers are notified their item is being delivered by a robot and it

finds them by GPS. When it gets to the customer, they will have a

little scanner thing on their phone and they will be able to open the

box. But how will it knock on the door? LAUGHTER. They will get a

message on their phone saying it is there, I think. Lots of coverage,

unsurprisingly, of the rescheduled Borussia Dortmund match against

Monaco. The team bus steamed through the town and did not stop at red

lights. Escorted by police all the way. And not much of a debate. All

of the journalists were saying it was a game too far for the Borussia

Dortmund him. Less than 24 hours after being victims of attempted

murder. They did not want to play, did they? They even admitted that

after the match. The manager said it was too soon. Amazing they only lost

3-2. Given everything they went through, it was not a bad match, and

the result is not bad, given they have a second leg to do so below

thank you. -- to do. Despite publicity campaigns,

improved fencing, and the fact that it's illegal, the number of people

trespassing on Britain's railways 8,000 cases were reported last year

alone, and most of those venturing onto or near the lines

are young people. Incidents double during school

holidays, so, with Easter upon us, Breakfast's John Maguire

reports on Network Rail's It has changed a hell of a lot. It

would have been just a field, walking up to a fence. I knew what

would be here. I knew what my decision would be. And that would be

to come here and jump the fence and take a shortcut home. A passing

train serves as a timely reminder of the danger of his fateful decision

that night 27 years ago, a decision he regrets to that day so below my

foot went underneath the rail, I could not get my foot out. Literally

waiting for a train to come and take my legs off, as it were, really. It

seemed like it was a fortnight, but it was only a few minutes. Having

lost his leg, Simon, always a Ken sportsman, took a basketball with a

wheelchair. He presented Britain in the Paralympics, travel the world,

and won a whole host of medals. But still he wishes he had never gone

near the rail line. My life since then has been pretty good. But it

came from a tragedy, really, yeah. But right now, yeah, absolutely,

100%. So, he is anxious to warn others. Simon realises that night he

was both lucky and unlucky. Fortunate to get hit by the train in

a way to escape with his wife. Last year there were 8000 trespassed

incidents, that is an increase over the year before, and the highest

number for a decade. -- trespass. So, in east Manchester, in common

with sports clubs and 100 schools in Britain, there are schemes to remind

youngsters off the danger is. How many football pitches does a train

take to stop? 20. A mile and a quarter. Electric, 35,000 volts,

never turned off. We remember that. By going on, it is illegal. ?5,000

as a fine. Number is double in the Easter holidays and other holidays.

These figures are still going up. There is only so much we can do as a

community. Projects like this, if we all get involved and each have that

conversation with our friends and family, we can stop this. Warnings

are consistent, frequent, and for some, deeply personal. Don't mess

around with trains. Yeah. Just stay away from the tracks. Because there

is only one winner. Only one winner. John Maguire, BBC News, Milton

and weather where you are. Look

I am back in half an hour. Plenty Hello, this is Breakfast,

with Sally Nugent and Charlie Stayt. We will bring you all the latest

news and sport in a moment, but also on Breakfast this morning:

We will speak to the parents of Kate Stanton-Davies,

who had to fight for seven years to get an NHS Trust to accept

failings had contributed Now, the Health Secretary

has ordered a review. Also this morning: It might be

the Easter holidays, but the Education Secretary

is setting out her vision With funding in the spotlight,

do her sums add up? And it is 200 years of twisting,

spiralling and churning stomachs. We have sent Tim to look

at the highs and lows But now a summary of this

morning's main news: The largest nursing union

is consulting with its members across the UK on whether they should

take industrial action in protest at the Government's decision

to maintain a 1% cap on their pay. The Government says the health

service offers competitive pay, but the Royal College of Nursing

claims low wages are contributing to tens of thousands of unfilled

posts, and unsafe staffing levels Everybody's unhappy. So most nurses

are unhappy with their income. So they are working harder than ever,

but there has been years now of absolutely no pay increase. Some of

our nurses are telling us they absolutely loved being a nurse, it

is a fantastic job, but they don't think they can afford to do it any

more. A new generation of grammar schools

in England should be truly open to everyone, not just

the privileged few, according to the Education Secretary,

Justine Greening. In a speech today, she will argue

that ordinary working families are the backbone of the economy,

and they should not have to make do. But a new analysis from

the Government shows a majority of selective school places go

to more affluent families. The families of two more babies

who died under the care of the Shrewsbury and Telford

in the investigation ordered The review of the trust

of New Zealand's North Island have been evacuated, ahead

of what is expected to be the most powerful storm to hit

the country in 50 years. Tropical storm Cook is forecast

to bring more than 100 mm of rain, Some areas are already under

a state of emergency. Of course, we will monitor that and

keep you up-to-date if we get any developed on that tropical storm.

And now we have the sport. Do you know what? It wasn't even a penalty.

If you are a Leicester fan waking up this morning I think you will feel

very hard done by. The fact that Atletico are massive favourites

anyway, we were talking about it yesterday, all Leicester have to do

is keep the tie alive so that when Atletico comeback, they have the

chance of overturning it. It wasn't a penalty. It was about a yard or

two outside the box. We feel your pain if you are a Leicester fan.

Leicester City will need to come from behind if they are to reach

the Champions League semi-finals, but they still have a chance,

after a 1-0 defeat in Spain to Atletico Madrid.

The only goal came after a controversial penalty was awarded.

Marc Albrighton's foul looked to be outside the box.

Antoine Griezemann dusted himself off and scored,

but Leicester's defence held firm after that.

We know it's still going to be difficult return match. We have a

very good home record at the King Power. You know, our fans enjoy

these Champions League nights. We have to make sure that, of course,

we need to be... Create more chances.

Ahead of the match, at least eight Leicester fans were arrested

and will appear in court today, after clashes with Spanish

injured fans, and officers in body armour wielding batons.

Police said eight Leicester fans were arrested for "causing a mess".

The best thing would be to do both, you know? And for sure, I think we

can do both. We can do both. We are doing quality, we have everything to

do it. But it is all about us, our own enemy. But I think we can do it,

we have just to be focused and work hard, like we do.

Well done to him, and well worth another look.

Just over 12.5 years ago, Chechen militants took more

than 1,000 people hostage in a school in Beslan,

The siege lasted three days, and ended in a bloodbath,

after special forces stormed the building.

Today, the European Court of Human Rights is due to rule today

on whether the Russian government should have done more

Jessica Gavron is one of the lawyers who argued the case,

and she joins us now from our London studio.

Thank you very much for your time this morning. Such a harrowing

sequence of events. Many people will remember it very well. Could you

just explain to us what is the court will be ruling on today? Today the

court will be ruling on basically the handling of the siege. It was of

course while governments are not responsible for acts of terror, they

are responsible for how they conduct themselves in responding to it, and

as you have heard, this was an extreme example of a terror attack,

with over 1000 people taken hostage. Most of those were young children,

on the first day of term at their school. And they were held in

appalling conditions, and then during the storming there was a use

of, you remember, flamethrowers and tanks by the government. And we are

alleging on behalf of the applicants that the government failed in its

responsibility to protect life, on various levels. So in terms of

preventing the attack, given that it had a certain amount of information

in advance of the attack, in terms of the conduct during the siege, not

having a rescue plan in place, having a coherent strategy, using

appropriate force, we would say they failed in that. And also in terms of

investigating the incident afterwards. To hold relevant people

to account, or to learn lessons from it. And we would say, again, that

they didn't undertake an effective investigation. Yes, so important for

those families, and that phrase we often hear in these kinds of cases,

that someone is held to account. Just explain what the effect could

be of this ruling. How important is it in relation to Russia, and what

might happen next? Well, for the relatives of the victims, the people

we represented were hostages and relatives of people who died or were

injured. And for them this is an extremely important decision,

judgement. Because they have taken hundreds of cases in Russia. They

have tried to have just as bad. They have argued that they were failed,

that senior officials should have been held to account, that

investigative steps were not taken. -- tried to have justice. They want

to know the truth about what happened and for a measure of

accountability. So the case is extremely significant for them, and

they feel really that the European Court of Human Rights is the only

place that they can get justice. Yes, so hugely important from an

emotional point of view. In practical terms, what would it mean

for Russia, for the Russian authorities? Well, the Russian

authorities we hope will be found in violation of aspects of the right to

life. They would, depending on the outcome of the judgement, which we

will find out later today, they may have to pay compensation, and they

are obliged under the convention to rectify any violations, which may

mean reopening aspects of the investigation. Obviously aspects of

that will be difficult, given the time. Thank you very much for your

time this morning. In that case is being heard at the European Court of

Human Rights. A written statement, and we understand it to be around

about 9am this morning. The main stories this morning:

The biggest nursing union is asking its members

whether they would be willing The Education Secretary will say

new grammar schools planned for England would help the children

of ordinary working families. All important bank holiday weekend

coming up. What does that mean for the weather? Carol can tell us. Good

morning. It is not going to be a wash out, that is for sure, but it

is equally not going to be as warm as it was last weekend. This morning

we're off to a chilly start, a touch of frost in rural areas and some

patchy mist and fog. All of that will clear. Mostly in some eastern

areas is where we the clearer skies. Push west and there is a bit more

cloud around. So this morning across parts of Lincolnshire and Yorkshire,

the East Midlands, East Anglia, down towards Kent, a lovely start to the

day albeit Nupe. As we drift west from Hampshire towards Cornwall,

into Wales, north-west England, there is a bit more cloud around and

you may just see the odd spot of drizzle coming out of that. Eastern

Scotland, a fine start to the day but a chilly one. Western Scotland,

more cloud and some showers and Northern Ireland have a few showers

this morning but equally, although there is cloud around, you seen one

or two dry spells. The wind still coming from a chilly direction and

through the course of the day you will notice that some of that cloud

is going to move over toward the east. Even so, here and there they

will still be some holes in it. But the sunshine hanging on for the

longest across southern counties. Temperatures today, 11 to about 16,

so still just above average for the time of year. Now, through this

evening and overnight we hang on to a fair bit of cloud. We have two

weather front thinking southwards, taking their rain with them as they

do so. Clearer skies coming across the north, and where we have the

clearer skies it will be a cold night, but again, temperatures this

coming night very similar to the one that has just gone. Tomorrow we

start off with our weather fronts continuing to sink southwards, a

fairly weak affair. The cloud will build had of them, still one or two

brighter breaks ahead of them as well and behind them for Scotland

and Northern Ireland we will start to see some sunshine coming through.

There will be cloud at times and that cloud thickener for some

showers. Showers on the highest peaks in Scotland could also be

wintry. By the time we get the Saturday those fronts scoot off into

the near continent, a keen north-westerly wind, a front

dangling around an area of low pressure in the North will bring a

few showers across north-east Scotland. One or two across parts of

eastern England but with showers we will not all see them. So for most

of us on Saturday it will be a dry and bright day with some sunny

spells. Then as we head on into Easter Sunday, high-pressure

clinging on by the skin of its teeth in the south, but we have two

weather fronts coming our way once again on Easter Sunday. So what is

going to happen is, here goes the first one, there goes the second

one, pushing steadily southwards, but they are fairly weak. Now, it is

going to be a cool day across Scotland, but for Northern Ireland,

England and Wales, especially where we have got the sunshine, it will

feel quite pleasant. Temperatures roughly nine to 15. So what happened

on Christmas Day, just for comparison, our temperatures on

Easter they are where they should be, London a couple of degrees above

average but look what we had on Christmas Day. Christmas Day, it has

to be said, was exceptional. So Christmas Day was warmer than Easter

Sunday is going to be. But you know what? It is not out of the realms of

possibility to see some snow at Easter. More likely, actually, that

is on Christmas. I didn't know that. Carol, you know everything! More

likely to cease no! You are. Do you want to know why? I will have

somebody screaming in my ear in a minute. It is because Christmas

happens at the beginning of winter, so the air hasn't sufficiently

cooled down for it necessarily to snow. Whereas at Easter, Easter is

almost at the start of spring. So we have got all this cold air still

with us, just starting to come out of it, so it is still cold enough

for it to snow. Actually, a good comparison is summer as well. Summer

starts in June, so you wouldn't expect the highest temperatures in

June, we see it in August or September. Because it takes longer

for the air to warm up and cool. Charlie is being cheeky, looking at

this watch. Stop it! Can you beat that, Steph? Have you

got any facts for us? Did you know that Carol knows everything and I

clearly don't? She does know everything! Time to talk about

Sainsbury's and their numbers. I will talk to someone who knows what

is going on. Goodness me! Sainsbury's bought Argos

in September last year for ?1.4 billion, and since then has been

quickly opening Argos concessions We thought it would be a good chance

to do this. Argos chief exec is John Rogers

and he joins me now from our Good morning. Good morning. The 50th

store, we are hearing a lot at the moment about how shopping habits

have changed and we are not doing one big weekly shop now, we do a few

little ones. How do we think that fits with megastores? What customers

want is choice. They want to do a big shop during the week, but they

also want to top up shop at convenience stores. They are

shopping more frequently, but customers want choice. In fact, what

we have seen one we put the Argos stores within Sainsbury's ones if

they do well. The ones open for more than a year are delivering 25%

growth year-on-year. What is interesting is that they are not

just buying from the Argos stall, but food at the same time. Good

sales are going up at the same time. -- food. We think it is a good use

of the space. What does it mean for stores still on the high street?

Some will have a lease open in the next two years. Will you move slowly

into concessions in Sainsbury's? We will maintain a significant high

street presence. We have over 840 stores across the UK. Some are on

the high street, some Oriente retail parks. Increasingly, they are

opening up across Sainsbury's. -- are in. 50 have opened so far since

we bought the business seven months ago. And we will open 200 of those

Argos stores within them. Customers like choice. They love to shop on

the high street and pick a product there at the same time is going to

supermarkets. If you give customers that choice, they reward you with

trade. There is also only stores. What will that mean for jobs? You

will need fewer people in them. Not at all. What it will mean in

practice is that over the next two years we plan to offer over 1000 new

additional retail jobs. Actually, what it means in converting stores

to digital formats is it allows better relationships with customers

and allowing them to have opportunities to get smoother and

slicker customer experiences, but better customer interaction as well.

One of the important things about the Argos business, which is

increasingly digital, most sales originate on line, but actually, you

get that humid touch with Argos, the ability to come into a store and

pick up your items, which is convenient. -- human. That is better

than the on line competition we face. What about the crisis with the

economy at the moment and the fall in the value of the pound? There is

a real pressure on prices. Is that something you worry about? You may

have to put prices on line with your products? Our job as retailers is to

protect customers from inflationary pressures. One of the things we can

do is bring Sainsbury's together with Argos and by scale. We have

negotiated better deals with suppliers. -- buy scale. So prices

will not go up? Well, we are making savings and we are passing them on

to the consumer. We are ahead of the market and are winning market share.

One other question. You were recently in the news for not paying

workers the national living wage. Is that all sorted out? Absolutely. One

of the things we discovered when we bought the business is that due to

some oversight, we were not paying the national living wage, and we

fixed that immediately and compensated workers. Thank you for

your time this morning. Chief Executive of Argos. That is it for

me for now. Thank you. See you soon, Steph.

For years, rollercoasters have been making countless stomachs churn

is just the adrenaline. It just releases all of your endorphins. Why

do you always sit at the back quicker because you get good airtime

and you get a good drop. For Club Med is, 2017 is their favourite

joining them on Blackpool's Big Dipper built so long ago. It began

in Paris in 1817. They build this track for rollercoaster carriages.

The design has not changed that much really. In the 1930s, rollercoasters

doomed in popularity. -- boomed. But many theme parks closed during the

Great Depression. After the war, rollercoasters recaptured the

imagination of the people, becoming quicker and bigger. If we are

thinking about subjecting the body to different physical sensations,

umm, the extremes, if you like, the 3-4 Gs on rollercoasters, nowhere

else can you get that but rollercoasters. An accident at Alton

Towers in 2015 which left four seriously injured was a reminder

that riding a rollercoasters not risk-free, although generally, the

safety record is very good. In many theme parks, virtual reality is the

latest big thing. This is Jaron Brown's Ghost Train at Gordon Park.

-- Derren Brown. What you see is not what you get. What gets blood

pumping? One of the drawbacks with this is you have this. When this

attraction opened last year, there were complaints it was not thrilling

or scary enough. It had to be redesigned and relaunched.

Generation after generation were seeking novelty. What was scary for

parents is not scary for this generation. Back at lack pool

central and eastern parts of the UK, it is a chilly start with a touch of

frost. In the west there is more cloud, with patchy light rain and

drizzle and through the day that will drift eastwards. Nonetheless

some of us can still hang on to some sunny intervals. I will have more

details later on. First, our main story: The largest

low wages are contributing to tens of thousands of unfilled posts,

and unsafe staffing levels in the NHS, but the Government

says the health service Our health correspondent

Sophie Hutchinson reports. Unprecedented pressure in the NHS

means nurses have never worked harder, and for so little,

according to their union. The Royal College of Nursing

says due to pay freezes, and then a pay

cap, nurses have seen the money they take home cut in real terms

by 14% since 2010. It says that is why it has decided

to ask staff whether they would be 270,000 NHS nurses will be able

with their income. but there's been years now

but they just don't think they can The Royal College of Nursing says

in England should be truly open to everyone, not just

the privileged few, according to the Education Secretary,

Justine Greening. In a speech today, she will argue

that ordinary working families are the backbone of the economy,

and they should not have to make do. Our political correspondent

Chris Mason joins us from The Government is continuing to move

forward with its grammar schools This is the big pitch coming from

the Education Secretary this morning. Tying into the prime

minister's big mantra that she has referred to again and again since

she took office last summer of helping hard-working families, those

who are just about managing. The Education Secretary will say that

when you look at the statistics, there are a similar number of

children in proportionate terms from that kind of background going to

grammar schools as go to comprehensive schools. Strikingly,

when you look at the same government document, it shows that more than

half of grammar school pupils are from families of above-average

incomes and critics of the grammar school system say that they are

socially divisive. So this is the latest stage in what I suspect will

be quite a long campaign from the government trying to persuade people

of the merits of its policy. Thank you.

And we will be asking the Education Secretary

But the Department of Health believes the NHS already offers

Joining us from London is Janet Davies, chief executive

Good morning to you. Good morning. I'm sure lots of people watching

this morning will have a huge amount of sympathy with people who are

working in our hospitals, casualty departments, nurses working long

shifts and night workers, and perhaps thinking, yes, they do need

to be paid in a better way. What are you asking for? Well, we are asking

for... Really, scrap the cap we are calling it. For many years we have

had no pay rise or this 1% cap every year. And that is for the

foreseeable future, until 2020. And we are saying it is not sustainable.

We know that nurses, who love their jobs, are struggling to pay their

bills. All the bills are going up. Many of them are parents, childcare,

their rent, and they are struggling to actually maintain an income which

will allow them to live and support their children. Which means they are

thinking about an alternative to nursing. How much of a will is

there, do you sense, from your members for strike as Mac well, we

don't know, and that is why we are asking them. We have had a lot of

anger, we are hearing that they often stay at the end of their

shifts for no extra money to make sure the care is complete, the notes

are written up, that they have handed over to the next shift. Too

many people are working 12 hour shifts, and handing over to another

12 hours, which doesn't give much time for that, so they stay later in

their own right. There is very little flexibility, many people are

choosing to work the agencies, many are working extra hours for agencies

just to pay their bills. So they are finding life very, very difficult

and they are saying this is unsustainable for them. If they are

going to look after their families and get a decent wage, they are

reconsidering whether they can stay in nursing. You are saying there is

a lot of anger, but you are not actually balloting for a strike. Why

not? As you can imagine our members are very angry, very cross and

getting onto social media and explaining the terrible situation,

really, on which bills they should pay. Many are struggling and getting

in debt, and we are helping them out with that. But what we need to see

is, what is the feeling of all our nurses, what is their situation?

Finding out what they feel, but also what they would be prepared to do

about it. I just want to put to you the words of Jeremy Hunt. He says we

are offering of Rhyno 1% pay rise, but nearly 60% of NHS staff get an

automatic pay rise of an average of 3% -- offering everyone a 1% pay

rise. But not every one gets increments, and that is quite

significant. Almost 60%. Those are people who have progressed to grade

two, the salary. So when it was first agreed, the salary point was

set at a level, and it is understood that people are gaining skills to

get to that level. And every year people have an appraisal. And if

their appraisals are satisfactory and they are progressing, they will

then get an increment on their performance to get them to the

salary which is the level for that job. But isn't it a little bit

disingenuous to suggest that some nurses are getting a better pay rise

than you are suggesting, because some are getting more than 1%, and

actually public-sector workers across the border are not getting

these increments. Lots of them are, and actually the correct grade and

the correct pay our nurses is the top of that incremental scale, and

it has been recognised, and that was a gift that we gave some time ago,

that people will take some time to develop those skills and get the

experience, that is way we have the incremental scale. Those most

experienced nurses who have worked with the NHS for some time have not

had a pay rise for a long time. The others are getting recognition of

their skills advancements, and not everyone gets them. It is not

automatic. It is subject to an appraisal of performance. Do you

admit that by capping pay rises, what the government is trying to do

is actually save nursing jobs? There is an estimate that for the last two

years, if the pay rises had actually gone ahead, you would have lost

14,000 nurses because of job cuts. I think it is very, very unfair to

actually put the problems of the NHS, the financial problems of the

NHS, on the nurses. They are the people that keep the NHS going. They

are the people that provide care. And we don't think it is fair that

they are the ones that prop up the NHS, with very poor pay. There are

lots of other ways we can save money without taking it from nurses' pay

packets. Finally, from me, if I take a relative into hospital on a date

when nurses are striking, what would that hospital look like? We have a

clause that we will not affect patient care, we will keep patients

safe and will not do anything, whatever the nurses wish to do, we

will make sure that patients are safe and comfortable. That is not

the point of this. There are lots of other industrial actions that people

might take, but some people are saying we are willing to go on

strike. But we will all this there have responsibility to maintain the

safety of our population, and our patience. Thank you very much

indeed. Unprecedented for them to ask that.

Clearly they want what is fair. That is across many other areas of the

workplace as well. I often get messages from people saying I am

facing a pay freeze on any increase I might get. This 1%. The reason it

is relevant is when you look at how much the cost of living is going up.

Comparative that. When I talk about inflation, telling us how much the

cost has gone up by, that is up 2- 3%. -- compare it to that. If you

compare that to 1%, that means in real terms people are getting a pay

cut. They will essentially have less money to be able to spend on the

things they need to because things are costing more in the shops and

generally. That is across many different sectors. If you look at

the average weekly earnings, it has gone up by about 2.2% at the moment.

It is just underneath the inflation rate of 2.3%. The prediction on the

back of the Bank of England says it will reach 2.8% next year. Many

people across the country will feel worse off because they will not have

as much money and will be paying more for things and for the things

they need to buy. Unemployment is really low. But even if you have the

job you are feeling poorer than ever. That is the argument being

made. The other side of this is that we are in a good situation with

jobs. Many people are in jobs. During the financial crisis there

was a lot of worry about employment, but we are at record employment

levels and record unemployment blows. But we have had to take a pay

hit for that. But it has been a long time since the financial crisis. We

are talking about 2008. We are not really where we were then in terms

of wage increases. Many people feel they are not better off yet, and in

some cases worse off, though they have been. Thank you very much,

Steph. And now for the weather. Good morning. Good morning. A chilly

start to the day today. Temperatures in single figures. A bright start.

The clearer skies men lowers temperatures. That is mainly central

and eastern parts of the UK. That is how we will start, not end the day.

The cloud in the west will go east through the day. Not a old start in

Plymouth. 10 degrees at eight o'clock. Cloud around. You can

expect some drizzle here as well. North-east England seeing sunshine.

The same for eastern Scotland. Sunshine, but a chilly start. The

west of Scotland and Northern Ireland, some cloud around. Patchy

light rain and showers. Through the day, that cloud pushes over to the

east. It will take rain with it but not everyone will see it. Some will

see sunny spells, even into the afternoon. Especially in southern

counties. Temperatures, 11-14. In the breeze in the north, cooler is

exposed to it. This evening and overnight, fronts coming and

producing patchy rain for Scotland and Northern Ireland. Some getting

to northern England and Wales. Showers the south-west. Clearer

skies following behind in the highlands. A chilly night. Generally

speaking, temperatures coming out will be similar to the night just

gone. We start tomorrow with the weather front in the central swathe

of the country producing patchy rain. That will go south through the

course of the day with the cloud building. Nevertheless, there will

still be some bright spells. Behind those fronts, Scotland and Northern

Ireland, sunshine and showers. In the sunshine, it will feel quite

pleasant. Saturday. Low pressure dominating weather in the north. A

weather fronts dangling around it. That will produce rain. The isobars

tell a different story. A breezy day from the north-west. For many, when

we lose this rain from the north-east of Scotland, one or two

showers in the east of England, it will be largely dry for the bulk of

the UK. If you are out of the wind again, it will feel quite pleasant.

Sunday, some fronts coming our way. Producing rain. Again, nothing

especially heavy. The first one goes through, the second one comes in for

the north-west in south, it does not make much progress, and again,

breezy. Sunshine for the south, well, it will feel quite pleasant,

with fines of up to 15 degrees which is still a little bit above average

for this April, at this stage. Thank you. See you later on.

few minutes. Don't mess with trains, there is only one winner. Only one

winner. He suffered life changing injuries

when he received a 25,000 volt electric shock after he climbed

onto some railway lines. Good morning. Thank you very much

indeed for coming in to talk to us about this. Umm, what happens to

you? I was 14 at the time. I was meeting some friends near the

railway. There was nothing to do at that age for us. This was a Tuesday

afternoon, about half past three. And I can remember getting into the

railway. I just remember waking up on Friday morning in hospital not

knowing how I got there, why I was there. I asked my mum, what is going

on. She said you had been electrocuted on the railway. And it

was from then a very long road trying to rehabilitate myself. Do

you know now? Have you got an account of what happened? Did your

mother tell you? Flashback moments. I remember being in the ambulance on

the way to the hospital asking the nurse in the ambulance if I can go

to sleep. She said, no, stay awake. I term of a much after that. I

remember being in the ward and my family coming in to see me. The

incident in itself. Were you with friends at the time? Did they see

what happened? They saw everything. What did they tell you? We didn't

speak after that. We went our separate ways. I was so far into

being rehabilitated and learning to walk again. We sort of drifted

apart. Tell us your injuries. Third-degree burns on the entire

right side of my body. Burned head to toe. My head was the size of a

football. They had to take so many layers of skin off my face, it was

really bad. I had to learn to walk again because I was just in bed for

two months straight. Why did you go to the rails? I don't know. I did

not know it was dangerous. I did not really know the dangers of the

railway. It wasn't until I started being involved with Network Rail

that I knew that the electricity was always on. I thought it was just

cargo trains coming through that there was no electricity there. So

we just thought, let's go over there. Was like a dare thing? What

was going on in your head? We just went over there to be kids and have

a game. I slipped while I was on top of the train. That was my instinct.

Like it was the overhead wire. The electricity blew me off the chain

and I landed on my head and had a big hole in it. You must be dismayed

to see the least over the growing number of incidents that are

happening now. It wasn't until I was contacted by Network Rail that I

learned all these things. It is not nice to hear about all these people

having all these accidents and passing away on the railway. You

said when you are younger you did not even think about it or even know

the risks. Clearly, that message is still not getting through the blue

note, exactly. That is why I am trying to do my part. -- through. I

want people to know it can happen if you miss use the railway for even a

second. How do you tell your story? Do you have to frighten them? No, we

don't frighten them. We make them realise it can happen. I do work

with Network Rail, going into schools. They do danger talks. I

come along and it is like, this is all good, but if you misuse all of

that, this is what will happen. I admit, I survived it, I am here to

tell the story. What reaction do you get? You can hear a pin drop when

you tell them. You can hear a pin drop when you tell them I was thrown

off by the overhead wire. And they have amazing questions. The

interaction is great and makes me feel like they are actually

listening and learning. If you watch a film, it is a good film, but a

true story film is much more appreciated. That is what we try to

do. Thank you for sharing your story with us this morning. Thank you.

morning, the Government is pressing ahead with its plans to open more

grammar schools in England. It says it wants to ensure that

children from ordinary working But new analysis from the Government

shows a majority of selective school places currently go

to more affluent families. The Education Secretary,

Justine Greening, joins us now. Very good morning to you. Thank you

very much for your time. Can you just do a fact file for us. How many

grammar schools do you think there should be altogether? We are making

a choice for local communities, that is the whole point. At the moment

there is a ban on grammar schools, totally. We know they are very

popular with parents where they already are, they are massively

oversubscribed and we know that for disadvantaged children who get into

grammar schools, they do an amazing job of closing the attainment gap in

getting their children off to a good start. So we want to address that,

but we also want to make sure this is a new model of grammars for the

21st century, and that they really are grammars which will be open to

all, and we will set out our plans in a white paper in the coming

weeks. Today I am also setting out that we want to make sure that this

is a school system which really does work for everyone. We have our focus

on supporting and lifting the educational outcomes of disadvantage

children, that is quite right, -- disadvantaged children. And that

will continue. But beyond that, we also need to get a better idea and a

better evidence based around how the children from families that perhaps

don't have children who would qualify for free school meals, don't

qualify for the pupil premium, but are still below the median income,

how they are doing. And that is the analysis that we published

yesterday. We want to give everyone, really, a better idea of how these

children are doing. We have also put ordinary working families at the

heart of our policy. Can you put some numbers on these? So this new

category, the ordinary working families who you want to be given

priority at this to grammar schools, how much... What is the salary cap

on that? Well, it depends how you look at it, and we have done some

provisional analysis. What we are saying is that if you work it back

it is probably a family around the household income at the moment of

around 33,000, but actually these are numbers which are statistically

pulled together by our chief statistician, and we have used quite

a novel methodology that looks at children and their family income,

and then ties that back to educational attainment through our

system. We want to make sure that we reflect the fact that families on an

income, say, with one child, a stretch to a lesser extent than

families on the same income with three or four children as part of

that unit. So just to be clear, these new grammar schools, a third

of their intake would be from families with an income less than

?33,000. Is that the plan? Well, we haven't set out our plans yet, and I

am not going to set them out today. What the analysis shows is that

grammar schools are there already for ordinary working families, and

they actually do a good job of being schools which can really give

children from ordinary working families a great start. What we are

saying is that we want to see them doing a much stronger job for

disadvantaged children. Many grammar schools are already changing and

have changed their admissions code is to prioritise children from

disadvantaged families, and look after children. I want to see all

grammar doormat grammars doing that, but we will set out all those

details in the coming weeks in a white paper and today I will talk

more broadly about how we want to make sure that children from

ordinary working families are absolutely on this government's

radar, to make sure that we drive much stronger educational outcomes

for them. And more broadly, over the whole school system in recent years

we have seen some real in improvements, 1.8 million more

children in schools rated good or outstanding. That is fantastic news,

but we want more school places, especially in parts of the country

where there aren't enough for children. And we want to keep on

driving up standards. Your figures on a third intake, that includes

existing schools, does it? The data we publishes for all children in the

system. It is provisional analysis, I should stress that. So this is a

piece of statistics which has been pulled together to start to give us

a sense about what is the evidence around how children from ordinary

working families fear in our education system. But what you are

talking about is a cut of that analysis that looked at the

differences between grammar schools and areas that don't have grammar

schools. At broadly, what it shows is that, you respect of where they

are growing up, ordinary working families are around about one third

of the pupil cohorts, and they do as well getting into grammar is, as it

turns out, as they do into comprehends it is. And -- intercom

pensive schools. You have worked ordinary working familiies into

almost every answer. The fact is that most people from ordinary

working familiies, whatever they may be, we can presume that is pretty

much anyone who works and has kids, most of their kids do not go to

grammar schools and will not go to grammar schools. The vast majority

do not. You seem to be spending an awful lot of time on this grammar

school thing. Are you really convinced in it, number one, and

number two, while you are talking about grammar schools, most head

teachers say they are struggling to make ends meet. Parents have got

letters from the schools saying can we have a fiver, can we have 20 quid

to help us get higher? You seem to be stuck in a dogma about grammar

schools when the rest of the education system is flailing around

trying to make ends meet. I don't think so, we already have grammars

in our education system. What we are saying is we want to see how they

can play a stronger role in a modern, 21st-century education

system. And we also need to respond to the fact that they are very

popular with parents. But you are still talking about grammar schools,

I apologise for interrupting, but I tried to give you a fair say. You're

still talking about grammar schools. Most people's kids don't... I want

you to talk about most people's children, and where they go to

school. And it is not schools. Why are you not putting more money into

a system that is failing? You are absolutely right. We have several

thousand secondary schools, of those, 163 are grammar schools. In

terms of the remainder, the rest of the school system, you are quite

right that that is the school system that most of our children go into.

We are putting record funding into it, we have really focused on

improving support disadvantaged children, so beyond that protected

core schools Budget, which will rise over the coming years, we have

introduced the pupil premium, we have seen school standards, thanks

to not only government reforms but the hard work of thousands of

teachers all over the country, get better. That is why now nine out of

ten schools, pretty much, in our country, are rated good or

outstanding. I really don't want to enter up to much, but let's lay this

record investment in schools think the rest completely, because you

know full well the IFA is, who have looked into this -- the IFS, has

said that spending per pupil is likely to fall 8% in real terms

between 2015 and 2020. Whatever you say about the amount of cash going

on, the reality for the schools, and surely that is the only thing, you

are the education system to make secretary, the reality of what the

system is like inside, it is getting worse. Do you not know it is getting

worse? Are you not hearing the message from teachers and head

teachers who say they haven't got enough money? And you are to sit

there and talk about an overall sum which is bigger, when the reality is

they say they haven't got enough money? And what we have seen is that

the schools Budget has risen. I don't minimise at all the cost base

pressures that schools are facing. That is why we brought forward what

we call the schools vying strategy, to help them do a stronger job of

being able to buy some of the core essentials that all schools need at

a lower cost. We are going to keep working really hard with schools to

help them get the most out of every single penny that we are investing

in our school system. We actually spend more than the OECD average on

our pupils and on our schools, which is really good news. Over the past

20 years, as the IFS has also pointed out, we have seen a 50% real

terms rise in investment per pupil in our schools. I don't minimise at

all the pressures that schools face right now. We have protected the

schools Budget, in spite of the need across other parts of government to

make very difficult choices, to be able to get a grip on this country's

deficit that we were handed over. So I don't minimise the challenges that

schools face. We are putting in record amounts, but we are

absolutely committed to working with all schools to make sure that we can

get the very most out of that money. What we are setting out also today

is that we want to bring forward even more good school places,

particularly for those parts of the country where we still don't feel

parents have really got the choice of a good school place on their

doorstep, and that is what they deserve.

What is the weather like for the Easter weekend? Apparently it could

mean snowy! You have daffodils behind you! A lovely picture. You

are more likely to have snow at Easter than Christmas. Snow will be

possible, but only in the peaks of Scotland. Some have had some frost.

Patchy mist and fog. Most has gone. The east of the UK getting off to a

bright and sunny start. Patchy rain in the north-west. Drizzle in the

north-west of England. The Korea is going through east through the gate.

-- the core is. Dampness not coming out of the cloud. Some sunshine in

the east. The Midlands, East Anglia, more cloud around. The same in the

Channel Islands. Bright spells. Some sunny spells. The same in south-west

England. Bright and sunny. Areas of cloud moving through. Sunshine. A

bright afternoon in Wales. 10 degrees. Northern Ireland. A lot of

cloud to be producing showers. Showers continuing in Scotland,

drifting from the west to the east. Eastern areas seeing brightness.

North-east England, again, quite a bit of cloud around, with just one

or two showers here and there. Through the evening and overnight,

more fronts coming. This is the first and the second. Producing

rain. Nothing substantial. Cloud ahead of them. Clearer skies behind

them. In the highlands, a cool night. The rest of the UK,

temperatures similar to the previous night. Tomorrow, hanging on to the

weather fronts. Especially heavy to start with. Some will link up as

they go south. Southern areas seeing brightness with showers later on.

Northern areas behind those fronts, sunshine and showers. Temperatures

tomorrow up to seven Celsius. Not bad. Saturday. Low pressure in the

north. A weather front. Look at the isobars to be quite a breezy day on

Saturday. Coming from a chilly direction, mainly the north-west.

Showers in north-east Scotland, showers in north-east England. Most

of us will mist them. For many of us, Saturday looks like a dry day. A

couple of weather fronts coming our way in. They will produce rain. Not

all of us will see them. The Easter holiday weekend looks like it is not

a washout. Crossing the north and west at times. Further south, east,

dry and bright conditions. Back to you. Thank you very much indeed.
