:00:03. > :00:08.Hello, I am Sally Taylor, welcome to South Today. In tonight's
:00:08. > :00:11.programme: An international tug of love - two
:00:11. > :00:13.children and their mother are found dead in Turkey.
:00:13. > :00:15.Despite the protests, the Government prepares to drop
:00:15. > :00:18.Portland in the coastguard reorganisation.
:00:18. > :00:28.The man behind the voice - after 25 years, the final scores will never
:00:28. > :00:33.
:00:33. > :00:36.be the same again. Is that 10?!
:00:36. > :00:46.And puppy love - why this emotional reunion has become an internet
:00:46. > :00:50.
:00:50. > :00:52.sensation. We will be live with the A family in the New Forest is in
:00:52. > :00:58.mourning tonight after an international tug of love ended
:00:58. > :01:01.with the deaths of two young children and their mother. Yannis
:01:01. > :01:03.and Mira Mellersh were taken by their mother after the family moved
:01:03. > :01:08.to Germany, despite a court order granting their English father
:01:08. > :01:13.custody. Justin Mellersh spent 18 months trying to trace his son and
:01:13. > :01:16.daughter. But tragically, last Friday, they were found dead in a
:01:16. > :01:22.Turkish seaside resort. Steve Humphrey has been following the
:01:22. > :01:29.story. That Thame youngsters had been
:01:29. > :01:34.found dead at, Yannis and Mira Mellersh, and they spent some of
:01:34. > :01:38.their early life in Minstead in the New Forest. DMS and Mira then made
:01:38. > :01:41.to Germany with their parents. After family problems, the children
:01:41. > :01:46.were supposed to be in the custody of their British father, Justin
:01:46. > :01:51.Mellersh. But they were taken by their mother, Elke Mellersh, who is
:01:51. > :01:56.from a German, Kurdish, Turkish family. Their father recorded a
:01:56. > :02:00.song and put it on the internet as part of efforts to trace them.
:02:00. > :02:06.Their grandparents have also been closely involved. The brother and
:02:06. > :02:10.sister were last seen near Bremen in Germany in February 2010. Last
:02:10. > :02:15.Friday the bodies of the children and their mother were found in a
:02:15. > :02:19.farmhouse in a Turkish seaside resort. There are resorts --
:02:19. > :02:22.reports they died of carbon monoxide poisoning. A message from
:02:22. > :02:26.the family posted on Facebook says, we do not blame the mother for this
:02:26. > :02:32.tragedy. It is clear she suffered a debilitating mental illness with
:02:32. > :02:39.paranoid delusions. It also talks of the children's play for fun and
:02:39. > :02:43.kindness to each other and others. What happens next?
:02:43. > :02:47.The children's father and their grandfather have gone to Turkey, we
:02:47. > :02:50.understand they want to bring the bodies back to the New Forest.
:02:50. > :02:53.Meanwhile authorities here are liaising with police in Germany and
:02:53. > :02:56.Turkey. Hampshire police are supporting the children's
:02:56. > :02:59.grandmother at her home in the New Forest.
:02:59. > :03:02.Thank you. "Mummy is in heaven," the words of
:03:02. > :03:04.the three-year-old son of a Surrey police officer whose funeral took
:03:04. > :03:08.place today. Detective Constable Heather Cooper died from a head
:03:08. > :03:11.injury and a stab wound to her throat last month. Her partner,
:03:11. > :03:14.Peter Foster, who is 35 and a former detective, has been charged
:03:14. > :03:20.with murder. Her son and three- month-old baby daughter were at the
:03:20. > :03:23.service in York Minster. BBC South Today has learnt that
:03:23. > :03:27.campaigners in Dorset have failed in their efforts to save Portland
:03:27. > :03:31.coastguard station. The Government is expected to announce the future
:03:31. > :03:33.of the coastguard service this week. Ministers were forced into a re-
:03:33. > :03:37.think following a public outcry against their original plans to
:03:37. > :03:45.close most coastguard stations around the country. Our transport
:03:45. > :03:50.correspondent Paul Clifton is here. What has changed? Quite a lot has
:03:50. > :03:53.changed. The original plan was to cut the number of coastguard
:03:53. > :03:56.stations from 18 to eight and of those only three would work 24
:03:56. > :04:01.hours a day. One in five coastguards would lose their jobs,
:04:01. > :04:07.more than 200 people. But the maritime community united in
:04:07. > :04:10.opposition. Even a committee of MPs called it short-sighted, seriously
:04:10. > :04:14.flawed and putting safety in jeopardy. That forced the
:04:14. > :04:17.government to think again and tomorrow it is expected to tell MPs
:04:18. > :04:23.that the plans have been watered down considerably. Do we know the
:04:23. > :04:28.detail? Officially, no. Unofficially, yes. I have spoken to
:04:28. > :04:32.a number of postcards today. Paul Smart -- Portsmouth coastguard was
:04:32. > :04:36.slated for closure, that has not changed, it will close in the next
:04:36. > :04:42.three years with the loss of about 30 pairs. Lee-on-Solent will close,
:04:42. > :04:48.too, but be replaced with a new, larger, national control centre.
:04:48. > :04:51.The head office in Southampton will see savings, too. Only 142 jobs, I
:04:51. > :04:55.believe, will now bears. The majority of coastguard stations
:04:55. > :05:00.will stay open and instead of being day lead hours only, they will be
:05:00. > :05:05.24 hours a day. Some will say it is a climbdown by the government?
:05:06. > :05:09.is, but almost everyone was against such sweeping cuts. There will
:05:09. > :05:12.still be fewer stations would view the staff covering larger areas,
:05:12. > :05:15.but with better technology, but I think this is a compromise that
:05:15. > :05:17.more people will be more willing to accept.
:05:17. > :05:20.Thank you. Hovertravel services between
:05:20. > :05:22.Portsmouth and Ryde on the Isle of Wight have started running again
:05:22. > :05:26.following a weekend of disruption. Services were stopped indefinitely
:05:26. > :05:29.by maritime safety inspectors on Friday evening. It followed an
:05:29. > :05:32.incident where part of a propeller came off one of the three craft.
:05:32. > :05:36.Hovertravel says it is currently running a temporary timetable using
:05:36. > :05:39.one hovercraft. There are growing concerns about a
:05:39. > :05:44.shortage of rainfall in the region. South East Water has already warned
:05:44. > :05:46.it may have to impose restrictions in some areas next year. Now, a
:05:46. > :05:49.nine-mile section of the Kennett and Avon Canal around Hungerford
:05:49. > :05:56.has been shut because groundwater, which helps top up the waterway,
:05:56. > :06:04.has fallen to its lowest level in almost a century. Boat owners could
:06:04. > :06:10.be stuck for months. Sarah Holmes reports.
:06:10. > :06:14.Literally locked. This stretch of water away may not be open until
:06:14. > :06:18.next year. 39 locks have been shut in total to stop the water draining
:06:18. > :06:25.away. Boat owners are well and truly stranded. We were always
:06:25. > :06:30.going to have a problem with water, but we normally rely on the water
:06:30. > :06:33.to feed the lower levels of the canal, but there is no water coming
:06:33. > :06:38.in so we have a problem and British Waterways are managing it and we
:06:38. > :06:42.have got to live with it. If we do not get any rain, heavy rain, in
:06:42. > :06:46.the next couple of months, I think we are here for a long spell.
:06:46. > :06:49.less than half the average rainfall expected for October and an
:06:49. > :06:53.unusually dry spring as well, British Waterways say water levels
:06:53. > :06:57.in the canals have been running low for a while. We have tried to keep
:06:57. > :07:01.the water going for as long as we could, we got through the boating
:07:01. > :07:07.season, through the Southern, -- through the summer. We are now at
:07:07. > :07:12.the bottom of the barrel. While water shortages are fairly normal,
:07:12. > :07:16.this year has been worse. This is unusual in terms of how extreme it.
:07:16. > :07:21.It has been an -- it has been as low as this just a few times in the
:07:21. > :07:24.last 100 years. British Waterways says it will support those who are
:07:24. > :07:32.stranded as best it can enter the cloud and reopen, although no one
:07:32. > :07:35.knows when that will be. -- as best it can until the canal can reopen.
:07:35. > :07:38.The BBC has obtained a copy of a confidential report to Bournemouth
:07:38. > :07:40.Council which led to their chief accountant being suspended and
:07:40. > :07:43.escorted from the building by security staff. In it, Stephen
:07:43. > :07:46.Parker cast doubt on the legality of part of a contract with an
:07:46. > :07:49.outside company to run some council services. Unions are now demanding
:07:49. > :07:57.he be treated as a whistleblower. Our political editor Peter Henley
:07:57. > :08:03.is with me. This sounds like explosive stuff.
:08:03. > :08:11.Yes, some see this man, Stephen Parker, as a hero. Others say he is
:08:11. > :08:14.part of the problem by standing in the way of efficiency savings. But
:08:14. > :08:17.seeing this confidential report, you can see why it so clearly
:08:17. > :08:19.divided opinion. He says: "As chief accountant, I have expressed
:08:19. > :08:22.serious doubts about the value for money and deliverability of the
:08:22. > :08:25.contract". He questions the legality of what he calls a soft
:08:25. > :08:28.loan to Mouchel, and the company's financial security. You could argue
:08:28. > :08:30.he has got an interest in things not changing at Bournemouth Council,
:08:30. > :08:33.but the unions say that people in positions of financial
:08:34. > :08:39.responsibility like this should be respected.
:08:39. > :08:42.I believe that, if people have got concerns, then they follow the
:08:42. > :08:44.professional ethics, which I believe is the case, then they
:08:44. > :08:48.should be allowed to voice their concerns.
:08:48. > :08:51.This contract with Mouchel has been in place for a year, but from next
:08:51. > :08:57.month it is being extended? Yes. The deal will in total be
:08:57. > :09:02.worth �300 million. That is over 10 years. Lots of departments, IT,
:09:02. > :09:05.facilities management, finance, a human-resources, providing services
:09:05. > :09:10.for the council. But they are moving on to try to work with other
:09:10. > :09:14.councils, and they say that could cut the budget by 40% and create
:09:14. > :09:17.600 jobs. But when I spoke to the deputy leader of the council,
:09:17. > :09:21.although he said they have made millions of pounds of savings, he
:09:22. > :09:26.admitted after a year they have only created 20 jobs.
:09:26. > :09:30.It is the early period when there is some stability over it, further
:09:30. > :09:33.investment required, but depending on which said this it is and the
:09:33. > :09:36.level of investment, those savings start to come through fairly
:09:36. > :09:40.solidly, fairly early, and they then increase quite dramatically
:09:41. > :09:46.over time. 12 months in, do you have an idea whether the targets
:09:46. > :09:51.will be met? Yes, we have met the targets. I said a moment ago that
:09:51. > :09:54.we saved over �32 million since we took office in 2007 and about 12
:09:54. > :09:58.million of that is in the current financial year.
:09:58. > :10:03.The other problem is that Mouchel are carrying a great deal of debt
:10:03. > :10:08.and there are rumours of a takeover. I'm not convinced that a company in
:10:08. > :10:13.such financial dire straits will offer our staff, our hard-working,
:10:13. > :10:16.loyal staff, the opportunity to further their careers.
:10:16. > :10:19.We will see a public sector pension strike at the end of the month and
:10:19. > :10:28.all of this, whether for better or for worse, is a sign that there is
:10:28. > :10:31.a great deal of change at the moment in our local authorities.
:10:31. > :10:33.A collision between a police car and another car near Chichester has
:10:33. > :10:36.left a 17-year-old girl with serious injuries. It happened at
:10:36. > :10:38.Fishbourne on Saturday evening, as the police vehicle responded to an
:10:39. > :10:41.emergency call. The girl was driving the other car. Meanwhile
:10:41. > :10:44.last night in Portsmouth, a woman pedestrian was injured in Eastern
:10:45. > :10:48.Road when she was hit by a police car called to a burglary.
:10:48. > :10:50.A dog has been found dead after being tied to a car and dragged
:10:51. > :10:53.along a dual carriageway. Police believe it was done deliberately
:10:53. > :10:56.and are appealing for witnesses. A black Porsche Carrera was seen
:10:57. > :11:00.being driven with a dog tied to the back at Devil's Dyke outside
:11:00. > :11:02.Brighton at 10pm last night. Soon after, the car was spotted on the
:11:03. > :11:05.A27 near the Southwick Tunnel still dragging the dog along. Police
:11:05. > :11:08.found the body of the Beagle-Collie cross in a lay-by.
:11:08. > :11:10.Medical experts have told an inquest that the death of 32-year-
:11:10. > :11:13.old Sharon McLaughlin in police custody could not have been
:11:13. > :11:16.predicted. The mother of one was found unconscious in her cell in
:11:16. > :11:20.Worthing after having earlier been sick. The hearing was told she
:11:20. > :11:30.would not have been saved if she had been seen by a doctor. Danielle
:11:30. > :11:30.
:11:30. > :11:34.Sharon McLoughlin seen in better times. At the end of her life she
:11:34. > :11:37.was a heroin addict and using crack cocaine. After 22 hours in custody
:11:37. > :11:43.in Worthing, she was found unconscious and could not be
:11:43. > :11:46.resuscitated. The jury heard the post-mortem was inconclusive. Three
:11:46. > :11:52.medical experts agreed that Sharon McLaughlan's heart suddenly stopped
:11:52. > :11:56.beating but they cannot deafen a drugs overdose has been ruled out,
:11:56. > :12:01.but her chronic drug abuse could be a contributory factor. The inquest
:12:01. > :12:06.has already had that custody assistant Andrew who was checking
:12:06. > :12:11.on Sharon did not notice she had been sick in the south. Another did,
:12:11. > :12:15.and he knew that she felt freezing, but did not tell his supervisors.
:12:15. > :12:19.The medical experts were asked about the symptoms today. Two of
:12:19. > :12:23.the experts told the jury that Sharon McLaughlin's symptoms did
:12:23. > :12:28.not present cause for concern and the outcome of her death could not
:12:28. > :12:33.have been predicted. Legal representatives for her family said
:12:33. > :12:38.if a nurse or a doctor had have been called in, then further
:12:38. > :12:41.investigation could have taken blaze. The inquest continues.
:12:41. > :12:45.More than 2,000 people have applied for just 140 temporary Christmas
:12:46. > :12:48.jobs at the John Lewis store in Reading. The temps will help the
:12:49. > :12:52.Broad Street department store open for longer hours in the run-up to
:12:52. > :13:02.Christmas. Their branch in Southampton also saw a rise in the
:13:02. > :13:07.
:13:07. > :13:12.number of people applying for Still to come: I am in Andover to
:13:12. > :13:21.find out why this street dog from Dubai has become an overnight
:13:21. > :13:26.internet sensation. Tonight's Inside Out investigates a
:13:26. > :13:31.company that claims to help people avoid Clare home fees. The
:13:31. > :13:36.Universal Group is run by a Steve Long. It charges about �3,000 for
:13:36. > :13:40.setting up a trust to protect personal assets against care
:13:40. > :13:47.charges. The BBC investigation has found there is no guarantee it will
:13:47. > :13:52.work. The company says the trust has a 100% track record.
:13:52. > :13:57.She wants to make sure Peter's inheritance... A the man behind the
:13:57. > :14:01.group is Steve Long. In his seminars, he makes claims that made
:14:01. > :14:07.him and his company sound very well connected her and important.
:14:07. > :14:17.accurate are his claims about his products? Our undercover reporter
:14:17. > :14:17.
:14:17. > :14:21.asked him if someone could use his company to avoid care fees? If he
:14:21. > :14:26.is not receiving care, it is straight forward. Local authority
:14:26. > :14:31.will look at the reasons the trust was created. If they feel it was
:14:31. > :14:36.done for the purpose of putting the asset beyond their reach, then they
:14:36. > :14:41.could taking into account in an assessment and treat the person as
:14:41. > :14:46.if they did not belong to the asset. We wrote to have Steve Long to ask
:14:46. > :14:50.why he would give misleading statements. His office said
:14:50. > :14:55.universal as the protection is committed to excellent customer
:14:55. > :15:01.care and their fees are not excessive. But Steve Long has not
:15:01. > :15:07.given specific answers to most of our questions. I have got to ask
:15:07. > :15:12.you a question. Why are you selling a product when by marketing it as
:15:12. > :15:16.avoiding care fees you are possibly rendering it useless? A it is not
:15:16. > :15:20.the advice we have received. This is from the Government. He was
:15:20. > :15:25.wrong? You're the government? when we look at the cases we have
:15:25. > :15:30.dealt with, you have put me on the spot... We have been trying to get
:15:30. > :15:34.in touch with you. Your office told us you were out of the country. But
:15:34. > :15:39.you are here. A I am not prepared to discuss this have on a
:15:39. > :15:43.television. All I can say is the trust will be used and it has a 100
:15:43. > :15:47.track-record. We have documents of local authorities accepting the
:15:47. > :15:51.work of our trust. If if you are thinking of putting your property
:15:51. > :15:56.into a trust to avoid care fees, remember they are not suitable for
:15:56. > :16:01.everyone and they may not work. You can see more on that story on
:16:01. > :16:05.Inside Out at 7:30pm on BBC One. A memorial service for Norrie
:16:05. > :16:11.Woodhall, the last living link to the author Thomas Hardy, took place
:16:11. > :16:16.in Dorchester today. In her final years, Norrie was instrumental in
:16:16. > :16:20.stopping Hardy managed has been sold to America. If the actress and
:16:20. > :16:24.writer, who died last month aged 105, was cast in a production of
:16:24. > :16:30.Tess of the D'Urbervilles by the author himself when she was 18
:16:30. > :16:35.years old. The point about her, really, was the order she grew, the
:16:35. > :16:39.more this responsibility of representing Hardy took over her
:16:39. > :16:48.life. The older she got, the fewer there were who had ever known a. By

:17:10. > :17:14.In the NPower Championship, Reading 1, Cardiff City 2. Southampton 3,
:17:14. > :17:18.Brighton and Hove Albion 0. Watford 2, Portsmouth 0.
:17:18. > :17:24.In the NPower League One, Wycombe Wanderers 0, AFC Bournemouth 1.
:17:24. > :17:34.In League Two, Aldershot Town 1, Gillingham 2. And Crawley Town 4,
:17:34. > :17:36.
:17:36. > :17:45.Oxford United 1. Tim Gudgin will be joining as a
:17:45. > :17:54.moment. Did it bring back memories of Saturday? Yes, it did. Anything
:17:54. > :18:00.past that and I would have forgotten!. Saints go marching on
:18:00. > :18:05.in the Championship. They had a 49th minute lead against Brighton.
:18:05. > :18:13.Albion's day went from bad to worse when this challenge was not judged
:18:13. > :18:17.worthy of a penalty by the referee. The manager's protests got him sent
:18:17. > :18:23.off. Lambert dispatched that penalty and another one later to
:18:24. > :18:30.complete Saints' 4th league -- 4th win in a row. I did not think that
:18:30. > :18:36.merited a penalty. Is that your view? It was outside. You do not
:18:36. > :18:42.need to think. Michael Appleton's first game as manager of Portsmouth
:18:42. > :18:49.could not inspire them to victory at Watford. This cracking the
:18:49. > :18:54.volley gave the home side a 2-0 win. We did not do enough graft today.
:18:54. > :18:59.We did not compete. We paid the price for it. There is a belter of
:18:59. > :19:06.a goal from Cardiff after just two minutes sent a Reading on the way
:19:06. > :19:09.to a rare home defeat. They scored late on but the visitors won 2-1.
:19:09. > :19:17.Mark Hughes book was first have goal gave Bournemouth three
:19:17. > :19:22.valuable away points at Wycombe. In League Two, Scott Davies scored the
:19:22. > :19:27.best goal of the game at Aldershot. It was scant consolation as the
:19:27. > :19:34.visitors won 2-1. Crawley Town stay second in League Two after beating
:19:34. > :19:39.or Oxford United. There was a defensive mixed up which gave them
:19:39. > :19:47.the chance to pull a goal back. Further goals and this free-kick

:19:52. > :19:57.The man with a honey tones are you here on a Saturday is here, Tim
:19:57. > :20:02.Gudgin. He retired at the weekend. Was this a sad day? Yes. Mixed
:20:02. > :20:09.emotions, after having done it for so long. 16 years. Yes, that is
:20:09. > :20:17.correct. People came I had not seen for ages. We had a toast afterwards.
:20:17. > :20:27.BBC Sport is, import, gone to Manchester. Why did you not going?
:20:27. > :20:29.
:20:29. > :20:36.-- in part. It is quite far. It is 80 miles. I cannot imagine going.
:20:36. > :20:44.People say, but used to come from the Isle of Man. But I say, that
:20:44. > :20:49.was 40 years ago. I am not as young Mao! It would not have worked. --
:20:49. > :20:54.young that now. Is there a knack to the way you read the classified
:20:54. > :20:59.results? Most of us would read a list but there is something in your
:20:59. > :21:06.voice. He is almost a sing-song. Not to sing-song, I hope. A I mean
:21:06. > :21:16.that in a flattering way. I learnt it from John Webster when I first
:21:16. > :21:26.joined BBC domestic radio. He was doing the results. You have that
:21:26. > :21:26.
:21:26. > :21:31.lovely recognisable voice. Any tongue twisters. Did you get any?
:21:31. > :21:37.Len Martin had that one. What went you do with your Saturday
:21:37. > :21:42.afternoons are now? I am not sure. I will be in Australia. When I come
:21:42. > :21:52.back, I will be watching and listening. I'd do the talking
:21:52. > :21:54.
:21:54. > :21:58.newspaper, too. We will miss you, Tim. I will miss you. Thank you.
:21:58. > :22:03.all know the old saying a dog is for life not just for Christmas but
:22:03. > :22:07.one family has gone the extra mile in keeping a promise. If they have
:22:07. > :22:14.gone up 3,000 miles, in fact. The tale involves a bit of luck and a
:22:14. > :22:18.lot of will power. It might seem like an ordinary
:22:18. > :22:23.household evening at the Smiths but this dog has become an overnight
:22:23. > :22:27.celebrity. Holly was a street dog in Dubai. She was adopted by the
:22:27. > :22:31.Smith family. When they came back to England at short notice they
:22:31. > :22:35.have to leave her. Alyssa thought she would never see her again.
:22:36. > :22:40.Little did she know, her mum and dad were working hard to bring the
:22:40. > :22:48.dog back to England. At the moment the pair were reunited has become a
:22:48. > :22:58.hit on the internet. There is someone in the lounge for
:22:58. > :23:01.
:23:01. > :23:11.you. Why do you have a camera? Is that Holly? Oh, my God. Is that
:23:11. > :23:25.
:23:25. > :23:30.I can't believe this is happening. Thank you so much. More than 25,000
:23:30. > :23:37.people have watched that moment and I am sure it is one you will never
:23:37. > :23:42.forget. What makes Holly so special? She was the only one when
:23:43. > :23:48.we first got her to stand up out of all the other dogs. I would spend
:23:48. > :23:54.every moment with her. She makes my life happy. It was purely by chance
:23:54. > :23:59.he found her again? I was bored one night and looking at the internet
:23:59. > :24:03.and I looked on the old sides and there she was. We ticket from there.
:24:03. > :24:09.Your daughter's reaction was priceless. All this came at a cost?
:24:09. > :24:13.He was very expensive to bring her a cost -- across. We had to
:24:13. > :24:19.organise bets at either side. probably the most expensive dog in
:24:19. > :24:29.the village of for this family, she is worth it. A very happy family
:24:29. > :24:33.
:24:33. > :24:39.and a very happy dog. What a great story.
:24:39. > :24:42.Alison Saunders captured the theme of the day, damp and gloomy at
:24:42. > :24:45.Shoreham. A typical November day. Here is something you do not often
:24:45. > :24:53.see at this time of year - primroses, spotted by Colin Withers
:24:53. > :24:57.at Shanklin on the Isle of Wight. It has been on the grey side today.
:24:57. > :25:03.We have had some pretty heavy bursts of rain. There are a few
:25:03. > :25:07.more in store for this evening, too. Of more concern is the fog. We have
:25:07. > :25:16.got a yellow warning in place from the Met Office. That is for some
:25:16. > :25:20.dense patches of fog, particularly for the east of our region. Further
:25:20. > :25:26.west, we have this band of rain which is gently nudging into our
:25:26. > :25:32.region. Some outbreaks of patchy rain. We will see temperatures
:25:32. > :25:38.holding at seven degrees. For a bit of a grey, murky start for the day
:25:38. > :25:42.tomorrow. Some of the fog could linger. In particular, the band of
:25:42. > :25:47.rain gradually tracks eastwards. As it does that, it will ease. We will
:25:47. > :25:51.start to see some patchy, light rain instead of heavier bursts.
:25:52. > :25:55.Temperature-wise, we are looking at heights of 15 degrees. That is
:25:55. > :25:59.still four degrees above average for the time of year. Looking ahead
:25:59. > :26:05.to tomorrow night, that front continues on its journey eastwards.
:26:05. > :26:10.It will clear to the east. The East will keep some cloud. Elsewhere, we
:26:10. > :26:17.will see clear skies. Temperatures will dip to three degrees for our
:26:17. > :26:21.cities. Cooler in the countryside. For the rest of the week, not doing
:26:22. > :26:26.too badly. The Northern have of the UK as the trouble some weather.
:26:26. > :26:32.Further south, there is low pressure. Some good sunny spells
:26:32. > :26:36.through the day on Wednesday. It was a dry for most of us and a very
