:05:34. > :05:36.They can't afford to get mortgages, and we need to have a modern review
:05:37. > :05:41.of those contracts that enable people to work and live.
:05:42. > :05:45.But as you suggested, many business people might argue

:05:57. > :06:00.If all the jobs that are going to be on short-term contracts aren't
:06:01. > :06:02.going to enable people to live, or to buy their own property,
:06:03. > :06:06.then there is an issue with the types of short-term

:06:25. > :06:26.I think there are changes and we are getting beyond that,
:06:27. > :06:32.hardly any jobs nowadays fit into the nine to five remit.
:06:33. > :06:37.We need to be more flexible within how people work,
:06:38. > :06:41.There needs to be a clear, modern review of the type of work
:06:42. > :06:44.and the practices that are needed in the current workforce today.
:06:45. > :06:49.We welcome some of the Taylor review.

:09:47. > :09:52.Thank you and good evening. We are sticking with those milder
:09:53. > :10:00.temperatures this weekend but plenty of cloud around. This morning, a few
:10:01. > :10:06.of us saw brightness. Do keep sending those in. It was a cloudy
:10:07. > :10:11.story to end the day. Quite a dramatic cloud there. This evening
:10:12. > :10:15.and overnight plenty of cloud around. We'll see a few outbreaks of
:10:16. > :10:21.motoring, becoming increasingly later into the early hours.
:10:22. > :10:26.Temperature is not going to be too cold, overnight low of five or six
:10:27. > :10:31.Celsius. A little bit of hill fog as well. A mild start of the day
:10:32. > :10:35.tomorrow, cloudy and grey, patches of rain and drizzle fizzle out
:10:36. > :10:44.through the morning. Dry you sue the afternoon and we could see one or
:10:45. > :10:46.two bright intervals particularly further to the east. Temperatures in
:10:47. > :10:56.double figures, maximum of 11. A light wind as well. Saturday, some
:10:57. > :10:59.bright intervals. I leave you with the outlook, Sunday looking OK,

:11:10. > :11:12.Hello, rain for some of us today although it won't make much of a
:11:13. > :11:17.dent in the dry winter so far across much of the UK. A few threatening
:11:18. > :11:21.clouds in Cumbria but more than a threat of rain across the pond for
:11:22. > :11:25.Friday. The wettest weather system of the season is over heading into
:11:26. > :11:29.California, and there have been a few, with copious amounts of rain
:11:30. > :11:33.and lots of mountain snow. Record-breaking wet winter so far in
:11:34. > :11:37.parts of California. In Los Angeles this might be conservative, 50-100
