0:05:07 > 0:05:09The growing problem has prompted a police video campaign,
0:05:09 > 0:05:13showing the many scams targeting Christmas shoppers and what people
0:05:13 > 0:05:17can do to avoid them, like making sure a good deal

0:05:54 > 0:05:58# Please release me... #. The song that kept the Beatles off
0:05:58 > 0:06:04the top spot in 1967 and launched a half-century career.I'm so thrilled
0:06:04 > 0:06:10that one has given me that passport to the world.Now Engelbert
0:06:10 > 0:06:15Humperdinck has produced a new album of covers. The album is dedicated to
0:06:15 > 0:06:20his wife of 53 years, Patricia was diagnosed with Alzheimer's a decade
0:06:20 > 0:06:31ago.Just like the first time was written especially for her. The duet
0:06:31 > 0:06:37I'm Glad I Danced With You, a lot of the songs depict exactly what a man
0:06:37 > 0:06:43thinks about his better half, you know? I met her in a dance hall when
0:06:43 > 0:06:50she was 17 years old, and we have been dancing together ever since.
0:06:50 > 0:06:59# I'm glad I danced with you #. She listens to the album everyday!
0:06:59 > 0:07:03Does she?Yes, she listens to it every morning and there's a smile on
0:07:03 > 0:07:09her face when she hears it. She's not totally compos mentis but she's
0:07:09 > 0:07:13beginning to understand more now and I think musically it is great
0:07:13 > 0:07:20therapy for her because it brings back the past and it is wonderful,
0:07:20 > 0:07:25and she's learning to talk a bit more now again. It is just
0:07:25 > 0:07:30wonderful, wonderful. The progress, it's not supposed to happen but it's
0:07:30 > 0:07:36happening and I think it's a miracle.
0:07:36 > 0:07:37What a beautiful story.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40Now let's get a check on the weather with Elizabeth Rizzini.
0:07:40 > 0:07:41Hello, good afternoon.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44It was a mild but a wet and windy start to the day.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47we saw some squally bands of rain sweep through early on this morning.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50That has now introduced some cooler but also some clearer air,
0:07:50 > 0:07:53so lots of blue sky and sunshine, and that should last for most of us
0:07:53 > 0:07:55for the rest of the afternoon.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Just a bit of fair weather cloud bubbling up here and there,
0:07:57 > 0:07:59still a brisk westerly wind.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Temperatures which were on 13 or 14 Celsius will be lower by the time
0:08:02 > 0:08:05we get to the end of the day, between nine and 11 Celsius.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08They will drop away quite quickly as we head through this evening.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11A clear rush hour to come but then we see some cloud and outbreaks
0:08:11 > 0:08:14of rain spread in from the south as we head through the
0:08:14 > 0:08:15course of the night.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18That is going to clear eastwards but possibly a bit of a cloudy,
0:08:18 > 0:08:20damp start to the day.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Out to the north-west, we may see temperatures
0:08:22 > 0:08:25here to blow enough to get a touch of frost if we keep those clear
0:08:25 > 0:08:26skies for some time.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Tomorrow, a cold-feeling day but once the cloud,
0:08:28 > 0:08:31the early dampness, has cleared away, the sun will come out and it
0:08:31 > 0:08:34will be pretty pleasant with much lighter winds than today, falling
0:08:34 > 0:08:36quite light, temperatures only between eight and
0:08:36 > 0:08:38ten, so it will feel
0:08:38 > 0:08:40quite cool but there will be lots of sunshine
0:08:40 > 0:08:41around to compensate.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44On Friday night, many of us could see a frost as we head
0:08:44 > 0:08:46into Saturday but we do have this area of
0:08:46 > 0:08:48rain brushing the south coast.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50That may well come a bit further north,
0:08:50 > 0:08:51so it all depends on that.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54But a frosty start for some of us on Saturday morning.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57The winds will be fairly light over the course of
0:08:57 > 0:09:00Saturday but they will strengthen and it is still feeling cold but
0:09:00 > 0:09:06there will be lots of sunshine around.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09That's about it from me, Riz Lateef will be here
0:09:09 > 0:09:10with our 6:30 evening programme.
0:09:10 > 0:09:20But for now, from us all, a very good afternoon.
