:00:00. > :00:00.recorded crime in England and Wales has risen by 10%.

:00:00. > :00:00.That's all from the BBC News at Six so it's goodbye from me,

:00:00. > :00:14.On the programme tonight: The number of reported sexual assaults

:00:15. > :00:18.One victim urges others to speak out.

:00:19. > :00:23.It's something that I regret not doing at the time,

:00:24. > :00:26.and it is a thing where the more reports are put forward,

:00:27. > :00:34.the quicker these situations can be put to a stop.

:00:35. > :00:37.Sniffing out the illegal trade in tobacco.

:00:38. > :00:40.A crackdown on the criminal gangs making more than ?100 million

:00:41. > :00:46.Plus, she was the first person in the UK to donate

:00:47. > :00:51.A decade on, she wants to inspire others.

:00:52. > :00:58.I'm delighted that it's been successful for ten years.

:00:59. > :01:04.And the cost of keeping the kids entertained this summer.

:01:05. > :01:20.We'll have tips on how to do it on the cheap or even free.

:01:21. > :01:24.Welcome to BBC London News with me, Riz Lateef.

:01:25. > :01:26.Figures obtained by the BBC have revealed that the number of reported

:01:27. > :01:29.sexual assaults on the underground have more than trebled

:01:30. > :01:31.in the last five years, with more than 700 cases

:01:32. > :01:39.British Transport Police say the increase, in part,

:01:40. > :01:41.is due to victims coming forward to report assaults and,

:01:42. > :01:45.as Tolu Adeoye has been finding out, the impact on those targeted

:01:46. > :01:51.I was stood behind loads of people and this guy was behind me

:01:52. > :01:54.and he sort of started rubbing himself up against me,

:01:55. > :01:59.and I thought, maybe I've got the wrong impression here,

:02:00. > :02:01.but then I realised, as it became more pronounced

:02:02. > :02:04.that he was actually, you know, feeling me up, groping me.

:02:05. > :02:06.Imogen Groome was assaulted while travelling on the Central line

:02:07. > :02:11.She says the experience has changed the way she now

:02:12. > :02:16.I will usually try and plan around and take the bus where I can,

:02:17. > :02:18.just because there's more space and you're not going

:02:19. > :02:23.It shouldn't happen, that's the bottom line.

:02:24. > :02:25.People shouldn't just take advantage because they can.

:02:26. > :02:32.The number of reported incidents is rising.

:02:33. > :02:35.Statistics show, in the year to March this year, there were more

:02:36. > :02:42.than 700 reported offences on the Tube.

:02:43. > :02:46.That's gone up threefold from 225 five years ago.

:02:47. > :02:50.You know, he shouldn't get away with it.

:02:51. > :02:52.Police say campaigns like this one mean more victims have

:02:53. > :03:00.But certainly it will help us build that picture and we can establish

:03:01. > :03:03.when people come on the system, when people come off the system,

:03:04. > :03:09.That can open up lines of enquiry to help catch these people.

:03:10. > :03:13.Research on the London Underground shows that most offences

:03:14. > :03:15.are reported during rush-hour, dispelling the myth

:03:16. > :03:17.that this has anything to do with late-night drinking culture.

:03:18. > :03:19.It's often sober men travelling to and from work

:03:20. > :03:27.And campaigners say everyone using public transport has

:03:28. > :03:32.to take responsibility for keeping women safe.

:03:33. > :03:36.There's lots of bystanders lots of the time just turn the other

:03:37. > :03:38.eye because they don't want to intervene, but I think it's

:03:39. > :03:41.really important that we all say, this is not on, it's not

:03:42. > :03:46.what we want for ourselves, it's not what we want for our children.

:03:47. > :03:49.We want to create a society where women are free to walk

:03:50. > :03:51.around and be in public safe without fear of attack.

:03:52. > :03:54.Imogen didn't report the assault, something she now regrets.

:03:55. > :03:56.In hindsight, I wish that I had reported it

:03:57. > :03:58.because it is every little detail that makes the difference.

:03:59. > :04:01.If I'd just said the time and that this guy was tall and had

:04:02. > :04:04.a rucksack, which was all I knew of him, that could have

:04:05. > :04:07.helped to paint a picture of who had done it.

:04:08. > :04:17.She's urging other women to speak up.

:04:18. > :04:19.Coming up later in the programme: Going digital.

:04:20. > :04:29.East London introduces its own currency to help local businesses.

:04:30. > :04:32.The Metropolitan Police say experts who examined the remains

:04:33. > :04:35.of the World Trade Centre after the 9/11 attacks

:04:36. > :04:38.are being brought in to help their search of Grenfell Tower.

:04:39. > :04:46.Our political correspondent, Karl Mercer, joins me now.

:04:47. > :04:53.We are hearing more details about the investigation. There are 250

:04:54. > :04:57.detectives working on this inquiry. It is one of the biggest that

:04:58. > :05:03.Scotland Yard has mounted and the Deputy Commissioner was in front of

:05:04. > :05:06.the London assembly, talking about the slow and methodical pace of the

:05:07. > :05:11.investigation and trying to explain why it will take so long, possibly

:05:12. > :05:15.up until December to get through Grenfell Tower. He said every

:05:16. > :05:19.officer wants to find answers for the families involved but it is

:05:20. > :05:25.really difficult because of the intensity of the fire, 1000 degrees

:05:26. > :05:26.at some stages, and for many hours. They have had to reach out across

:05:27. > :05:30.the world to find experts to help. This is one of the most complex

:05:31. > :05:33.recovery operations are certainly many of us in the UK have seen,

:05:34. > :05:36.and the people we are taking advice from, which gives you an idea

:05:37. > :05:39.of the scale and complexity of it, are some of the people who worked

:05:40. > :05:42.on 9/11 and the fall of the towers in 9/11,

:05:43. > :05:46.because it is an extraordinary site of a crime scene

:05:47. > :05:58.is an extraordinarily complex. That was about the investigation.

:05:59. > :06:02.Last night, we saw a heated council meeting in Kensington. Victims of

:06:03. > :06:08.the fire were there. The first full council meeting since the fire. The

:06:09. > :06:11.new leader was formally adopted her as she was adopted, there were boos

:06:12. > :06:15.and very strong testimonies from a lot of the victims of the fire

:06:16. > :06:20.clearly still very annoyed at the way they have been treated. Today

:06:21. > :06:24.the new Deputy Leader, who has been put in charge of the Grenfell

:06:25. > :06:29.response for the Council, admitted councillors does not have confidence

:06:30. > :06:33.that say they will do their utmost, particularly when it comes to

:06:34. > :06:37.rehousing people and that was picked up in the Commons today. The

:06:38. > :06:43.Communities Secretary gave an update on where we are and said 35 families

:06:44. > :06:47.have accepted accommodation offers, ten families had been moved into new

:06:48. > :06:51.homes but still some way to go and some families who had previously

:06:52. > :06:52.accepted accommodation have now turned them down.

:06:53. > :06:54.Where residents have turned down an offer,

:06:55. > :06:56.we are finding suitable alternatives for them.

:06:57. > :06:59.Where residents are not yet ready to engage in the process,

:07:00. > :07:02.they don't want to make a decision right now or they would rather wait

:07:03. > :07:11.for a permanent home to be offered, we will of course respect that.

:07:12. > :07:18.The government clearly capturing the mood and saying, we will go at the

:07:19. > :07:22.pace of the victims. They have been let down by the local authority, we

:07:23. > :07:27.will work at that pace and give it to them when they are ready to

:07:28. > :07:32.accept them. The victims themselves, as well as wanting houses, will be

:07:33. > :07:35.looking for answers, not just that police investigation also

:07:36. > :07:37.independent public inquiry. I know that you have been and will continue

:07:38. > :07:40.to follow developments. Thank you. 500 people have been evacuated

:07:41. > :07:43.from flats and shops in north London due to fears of a possible explosion

:07:44. > :07:48.at a fire on an industrial estate. Eight fire engines

:07:49. > :07:50.are tackling the blaze Gas cylinders are believed to be

:07:51. > :07:54.on the site and a hazardous Burnt Oak underground station

:07:55. > :08:02.has also been closed. Proposals to close congenital heart

:08:03. > :08:05.disease services at a leading London hospital have been described

:08:06. > :08:07.as madness by a leading Former Commons Speaker Baroness

:08:08. > :08:12.Boothroyd urged ministers to end the current crisis that threatens

:08:13. > :08:15.the future of the Royal She said the proposals has sparked

:08:16. > :08:24.dismay and alarm among patients. Criminal networks are making tens

:08:25. > :08:27.of millions of pounds a year from it in London alone,

:08:28. > :08:31.and it's a growing problem - Today, Trading Standards showed us

:08:32. > :08:35.how they're cracking down on the illicit trade using specially

:08:36. > :08:38.trained sniffer dogs to target businesses suspecting of selling it,

:08:39. > :08:52.as Thomas Magill reports. Unregulated, I'm taxed and under the

:08:53. > :08:58.counter, illegal tobacco in London is big business. It is an increasing

:08:59. > :09:02.problem in London. That issue is that the cost of cigarettes have

:09:03. > :09:07.become much higher and counterfeits are cheaper, so people tend to go

:09:08. > :09:12.for counterfeit cigarettes. This is one tool on the front line, working

:09:13. > :09:16.with trading standards officers to identify what is fake and what is

:09:17. > :09:21.not and her handler says she is an important part of the team. She has

:09:22. > :09:26.been doing this for five years. The last five years, she has found over

:09:27. > :09:31.?7 million worth of illegal tobacco products. But officials estimate

:09:32. > :09:36.this is just the tip of the iceberg. Criminals are making ?100 million a

:09:37. > :09:40.year from sales and, in a survey, a third of London smokers admitted

:09:41. > :09:44.they had been offered illegal tobacco in the past. Campaigners say

:09:45. > :09:51.bargain basement tobacco is finding its way onto the playground and are

:09:52. > :09:54.tempting teenagers to take up the habit. Brian bought his first

:09:55. > :10:00.illegal packet from a friend. I thought it was a bargain. You do not

:10:01. > :10:06.get tobacco for ?3 50. When I was in high school, it was me and five

:10:07. > :10:10.other people smoking in my school, in my year, but altogether in the

:10:11. > :10:14.school, there were so many people smoking. And there is another

:10:15. > :10:19.problem campaigners are concerned about. Illicit tobacco is linked to

:10:20. > :10:26.gangs and criminality and we also know that there are extra substances

:10:27. > :10:32.added to cigarettes, for example asbestos, mould and human excrement.

:10:33. > :10:36.So what should you look out for? London trading standards say foreign

:10:37. > :10:41.language on packets, unusual brands and knock-down prices are all

:10:42. > :10:45.tell-tale signs that what you are buying is probably illegal. There is

:10:46. > :10:49.no doubt that trading standards is having an impact and they say that,

:10:50. > :10:51.even with the help of VB, more needs to be done to stamp out this growing

:10:52. > :10:53.illegal market. Every year, around 250

:10:54. > :10:55.people die whilst waiting A decade ago, a woman

:10:56. > :10:59.from Hertfordshire became the first person in the UK to donate a kidney

:11:00. > :11:04.to a stranger. Ten years on, she's been

:11:05. > :11:06.speaking to BBC London, hoping that her experience

:11:07. > :11:08.will inspire others to make the altruistic sacrifice

:11:09. > :11:29.to save someone's life. This 73-year-old grandmother has

:11:30. > :11:33.helped save 600 lives. She battled with the NHS for years to try to

:11:34. > :11:39.change the law to allow helping people to donate kidneys to

:11:40. > :11:44.strangers. They could not understand one's motivation to do something for

:11:45. > :11:51.somebody who they did not know in the Brecon doctors would not want to

:11:52. > :11:54.operate on a healthy person. For no benefit to them. I realised what a

:11:55. > :11:59.privileged life I had lead, I had not had any serious illness and I

:12:00. > :12:10.had four healthy children and even a grandchild, and I felt that I could.

:12:11. > :12:15.In 2007, what Kay describes the stubbornness paid off, the law was

:12:16. > :12:18.finally changed. Kay and others hope the tenth anniversary of her

:12:19. > :12:23.donation will inspire more people to do the same. There are currently

:12:24. > :12:30.5000 patients in the UK waiting for a kidney donation. Incidence of

:12:31. > :12:37.kidney disease is rising and, every year, 250 people died whilst waiting

:12:38. > :12:44.for a suitable donor. It is a big step of your kidney to somebody you

:12:45. > :12:50.do not know. The NHS are very thorough in making sure that every

:12:51. > :12:53.potential donor is aware of the risks. John says having a kidney

:12:54. > :13:01.transplant has transformed his life. I am at the gym three times a week,

:13:02. > :13:08.I can run, cycle, tennis, football, play with my family, which they all

:13:09. > :13:13.notice, which could not do before. You have helped save the lives of

:13:14. > :13:17.600 people. As satisfying as that? That is a very flattering way to

:13:18. > :13:19.protect, but it is good. I do not think about every day but, when I

:13:20. > :13:22.do, I feel very good about it. Forget a head for heights -

:13:23. > :13:32.have you go the stomach for it? We test London's latest sky-high

:13:33. > :13:38.attraction. We've heard how some

:13:39. > :13:40.areas in the capital have introduced their own currency,

:13:41. > :13:42.like the Brixton pound, for example, Well, east London has taken it

:13:43. > :13:48.a step further by going digital. It's now got its own

:13:49. > :13:51.currency all via an app. So, a gimmick or a savvy way

:13:52. > :13:56.of helping the local economy? It's a Hackney cafe where using

:13:57. > :14:09.money is sometimes discouraged. This customer has paid

:14:10. > :14:13.for her superfood smoothie with a mobile phone,

:14:14. > :14:18.topped up with east London pounds. If you're using the app

:14:19. > :14:20.and the local currency and you're using local

:14:21. > :14:22.businesses and whatnot, and it's staying within

:14:23. > :14:32.the community and recirculating. How much money do you upload? I had

:14:33. > :14:34.been using a couple of times a week, whenever I can.

:14:35. > :14:36.Customers upload money using an app on their mobile phone,

:14:37. > :14:38.and they are given small financial incentive for spending

:14:39. > :14:43.It's a start-up company that began in Israel and is now being used

:14:44. > :14:48.in Liverpool and 70 businesses in Hackney and Shoreditch.

:14:49. > :14:51.We're really educating customers to shop locally,

:14:52. > :14:53.live locally and support independent businesses, rather than going

:14:54. > :14:57.They might take their money somewhere else

:14:58. > :15:10.The support independent businesses with tools that can help them grow

:15:11. > :15:11.and increase their customers in turnover.

:15:12. > :15:13.Do you think maybe it's just a gimmick?

:15:14. > :15:17.I wouldn't think it's a gimmick because I can see how customers

:15:18. > :15:27.It makes my job so much easier as a business owner. Does it make your

:15:28. > :15:31.life easier? It is not only their customers pay through the app, we

:15:32. > :15:32.pay our supplies through the app as well.

:15:33. > :15:35.It's not the first time we've seen local currencies.

:15:36. > :15:38.Back in 2009, the Brixton pound was launched and, more recently,

:15:39. > :15:43.there have been similar schemes in Bristol and Lewes in East Sussex.

:15:44. > :15:45.But, elsewhere in Hackney, not everyone was so positive.

:15:46. > :15:51.I know what I'm spending, rather than using an app,

:15:52. > :15:54.so I don't think I'd be using something like that.

:15:55. > :15:57.What about the poor people that can't do things like that?

:15:58. > :15:59.Everything's gone all digital and then there's poor people that

:16:00. > :16:03.I'm not really on my phone, to be honest.

:16:04. > :16:05.And all that technology, I don't really understand.

:16:06. > :16:10.Digital currencies might not be everybody's cup of tea,

:16:11. > :16:12.but tech-savvy east Londoners can now boost the local

:16:13. > :16:23.So news today that the amount parents pay for holiday childcare

:16:24. > :16:26.has reached its highest level ever with parents in some parts

:16:27. > :16:29.Nationwide, childcare will set you back on average

:16:30. > :16:34.?125 a week this summer, but parents in outer London can

:16:35. > :16:42.However, interestingly, in inner London, the average is ?112 a week -

:16:43. > :16:44.the cheapest anywhere in the country.

:16:45. > :16:53.Let's talk to Clare Harding from the Family and Childcare Trust.

:16:54. > :17:01.I give surprised by these figures, especially the disparity between

:17:02. > :17:06.inner and outer London? Childcare prices are volatile and varied

:17:07. > :17:12.between areas. Childcare providers face pressures are the businesses

:17:13. > :17:17.face. It is not a huge surprise. How much does it vary depending on

:17:18. > :17:23.children's ages or the need of a child? Quite a lot of variation,

:17:24. > :17:26.particularly in terms of child available. A quarter of local

:17:27. > :17:30.authorities in London have another child care available for working

:17:31. > :17:34.parents and that drops down even lower if children are disabled or

:17:35. > :17:38.for older children. We know that it is difficult for parents at the best

:17:39. > :17:42.of times, let alone holidays, this is just one more thing squeezing

:17:43. > :17:48.their income. What is your suggestion? The government have

:17:49. > :17:52.already made investment in early years childcare and that would be

:17:53. > :17:55.very welcome to hard-pressed parents in London. We are calling on them to

:17:56. > :18:03.give serious attention to give childcare for school-age children.

:18:04. > :18:09.The problem is more acute in the summer holidays, kid camps, holiday

:18:10. > :18:13.clubs, they are expensive. Is it because they are privately run or

:18:14. > :18:19.because people are taking advantage of that fact and parents will be

:18:20. > :18:22.desperate? We do not think anyone what's cut-price childcare. People

:18:23. > :18:25.who work in child could do a difficult job. That as white is

:18:26. > :18:29.important that the government supports parents to make sure they

:18:30. > :18:36.are able to pay for childcare and are better off and work. Thank you

:18:37. > :18:38.for shedding a bit more light on those figures.

:18:39. > :18:41.Well, that was the cost of childcare, but what about the cost

:18:42. > :18:42.the kids entertained over the holidays?

:18:43. > :18:44.Some of the capital's attractions unveiled their big

:18:45. > :19:01.As far as having things to do, London's children have it pretty

:19:02. > :19:06.lucky over the summer. Even so, for some parents it is not even feel

:19:07. > :19:09.easy. I spend a lot of time researching where we can go for

:19:10. > :19:13.free. There are places out there but you need to find them. Come the

:19:14. > :19:16.holidays there is no shortage of attractions competing for your time

:19:17. > :19:25.in cash, and it gets more ambitious each year. London zoo for example, a

:19:26. > :19:30.place famous for its live animals has opted for robotic dinosaurs,

:19:31. > :19:35.complete with sound. Dinosaurs make a really good ambassador about the

:19:36. > :19:39.extinction crisis we are facing now so there is a link there between

:19:40. > :19:42.historic extinction events and current ones. A big day out in

:19:43. > :19:48.London does not come cheap, it costs more than ?20 for a child and nearly

:19:49. > :19:52.?30 for an adult to get into London zoo so, if you are on a budget and

:19:53. > :19:56.the weather is behaving itself, a day out in a London park is a good

:19:57. > :20:00.option and, if you are really lucky, you might get a surprise for

:20:01. > :20:04.absolutely nothing. London zoo says it entrance fee goes towards

:20:05. > :20:08.conservation projects around the world, but is not the only

:20:09. > :20:13.attraction. Booked online, a ticket for the Cutty Sark for two adults

:20:14. > :20:17.and two children is ?35. A similar ticket for the London I would set

:20:18. > :20:22.you back ?94 and the same number of people could go to Kew Gardens for

:20:23. > :20:27.?33. How do you fill your days without emptying your wallet? Dam at

:20:28. > :20:33.the Maritime Museum in Greenwich, we asked the editor of the parenting

:20:34. > :20:39.website and app for the advice. Coffee shops and cafes and

:20:40. > :20:43.restaurants are expensive. Don't forget what is going on on your

:20:44. > :20:46.doorstep, look at the family programmes at local community

:20:47. > :20:53.centres, leisure centres have stacks of great stuff and libraries as

:20:54. > :20:58.well. Set up the WhatsApp group. Even if it is something as watching

:20:59. > :21:02.a film together, if they are doing it with their friends, they have a

:21:03. > :21:06.whole lot better time. So with a bit of clever planning and not trying to

:21:07. > :21:12.do too much in one go, the next couple of months should fly by. Who

:21:13. > :21:17.knows, in September, we will all be wishing we could turn back the

:21:18. > :21:21.clock. If you want to spend your summer holiday in a tree house, you

:21:22. > :21:25.will not find a better one than this one in Kew Gardens, it is one of

:21:26. > :21:29.many attractions opening up in time for the summer holidays, but it is

:21:30. > :21:36.not free to come here. It cost just over ?30 for the family of four.

:21:37. > :21:41.This is a charity. Or the admissions money goes to fund conservation and

:21:42. > :21:45.science work to Kew Gardens does in the UK and all over the world. A

:21:46. > :21:51.tree house opening up in time for the summer holidays but lots of

:21:52. > :21:58.other things as well. You can go on insect safaris, insect adventure

:21:59. > :22:04.camp, insect adventures, you can go through a virtually reality thing

:22:05. > :22:12.and visit a hike, a lot of things. What is a lot of think you would

:22:13. > :22:17.recommend to do? I recommend you come and make one of these, this is

:22:18. > :22:22.a home for a mason bee. If you make one of these, you can hang it on a

:22:23. > :22:33.south facing wall, Abbey will come along and lay eggs in it. Next

:22:34. > :22:40.spring you may have more bees. Kew Gardens opens from 10am, but London

:22:41. > :22:44.is one of the best cities in the world to take your family out for

:22:45. > :22:46.the day. Lots to do which is free or what you could pay for, but one of

:22:47. > :22:50.the best cities in the world to be. Well, you'll have to

:22:51. > :22:54.have a stomach for heights too. That's because a new pop-up

:22:55. > :22:56.restaurant has opened It's part of an event called

:22:57. > :23:01.London In The Sky and our reporter, Nicola Ford, has been at the chef's

:23:02. > :23:17.table to sample food When it gets windy, you get a bit

:23:18. > :23:21.nervous. I feel shaky. But then you enjoy it. The latest London

:23:22. > :23:26.restaurant to get off the ground, quite literally. The table suspended

:23:27. > :23:34.from a crane, chefs and guests are strapped in. I would not want to be

:23:35. > :23:40.on a date doing this. You need to brave the elements. The movement,

:23:41. > :23:45.the wind, you need to be fast to deliver to keep warm as much as you

:23:46. > :23:50.can. But after a while, it seems entirely normal. Almost. Two courses

:23:51. > :23:57.in an appeal is normal, it really feels like this is what you do. In

:23:58. > :24:03.fact, breakfast tomorrow... It was quite hard to eat and be 100 foot in

:24:04. > :24:10.the air at the same time but, after a while, it was OK. It was a great

:24:11. > :24:16.experience I will never forget. It is a big challenge. I did it from

:24:17. > :24:23.scratch. It was a premiere. We have all the equipment. You see all these

:24:24. > :24:29.things, all over? But we delivered for courses in one hour. Everybody

:24:30. > :24:33.enjoyed it very much. So if you have a head for heights as well as a

:24:34. > :24:43.stomach, London in the sky runs until the end of July.

:24:44. > :24:51.It did look breezy and blustery out there. It did a bit. That is the way

:24:52. > :24:57.it looks for the next few days. Things are turning more and settled.

:24:58. > :25:01.Some sunshine to be enjoyed over the next few days. Back to what has

:25:02. > :25:06.happened today, here is seen coming in from one of our Weather Watchers.

:25:07. > :25:09.There has been patchy cloud around but also sunny spells as we head

:25:10. > :25:14.through the evening. That breeze picks up and, as we had to the day

:25:15. > :25:18.tomorrow, are largely dry picture. Some sunshine but you will notice

:25:19. > :25:25.that breeze picking up. It feel fairly fresh. Back to this evening,

:25:26. > :25:29.most of us dry, overnight, largely clear skies but a bit more cloud

:25:30. > :25:33.starting to creep in from the West through the early hours of Friday.

:25:34. > :25:38.Bringing just the odd spot of light rain but most of us staying dry and

:25:39. > :25:44.temperatures overnight dropping to 13-15d. Milder but not as muddy as

:25:45. > :25:48.recent nights. Tomorrow, you can see the sunshine the start of the

:25:49. > :25:53.morning, mostly dry. More chance of catching one or two showers. Mainly

:25:54. > :25:58.out towards the west of London. Most of us avoiding the showers and

:25:59. > :26:05.temperatures up to 23 degrees. It will feel fairly fresh where you are

:26:06. > :26:08.exposed to that breeze. You have got bit more chance of catching some of

:26:09. > :26:15.the showers in Friday evening. The head through. That is where we see

:26:16. > :26:19.the cloud increasing and we could see those outbreaks of rain. At

:26:20. > :26:23.least we get a break from watering the garden is. That rain is down to

:26:24. > :26:28.this area of low pressure. That looks like it clears off towards the

:26:29. > :26:32.east fairly quickly on Saturday. A bit of uncertainty in terms of the

:26:33. > :26:36.showers but we are fairly optimistic that much of Saturday should stay

:26:37. > :26:39.relatively dry with spells of sunshine. That chance of a few

:26:40. > :26:42.showers creeping in from the West during the course of Saturday

:26:43. > :26:49.afternoon. Temperature is 20 degrees, and not as breezy as on

:26:50. > :26:54.Friday. During Sunday, more of the chance of catching a few showers,

:26:55. > :27:00.but not a wash-out. Sunshine in between and this temperature is 21

:27:01. > :27:09.or 22 degrees. A mixed bag. It is like the weather knows.

:27:10. > :27:11.More on the day's stories on our website.

:27:12. > :27:15.Asad will be back from his treehouse adventure

:27:16. > :27:20.From all of us here, do have a lovely evening.
