:00:29. > :00:33.could be collapsing. Today it is a giant step in the right direction.
:00:33. > :00:43.The air-defence that Dominique Strauss-Kahn has is that this

:01:42. > :01:46.outcome of the sexual assault case against Dominque Strauss Kahn, he
:01:46. > :01:49.is now at liberty to move freely within the United States. A judge
:01:49. > :01:52.in New York relaxed the terms of his bail, which had seen him
:01:52. > :01:58.confined to his daughter's apartment in Manhattan since his
:01:58. > :02:01.arrest in May, over his alleged rape of a chamber maid. Also, media
:02:01. > :02:03.speculation is mounting about the viability of the case against him,
:02:03. > :02:11.after the New York Times newspaper reported that the prosecution's
:02:11. > :02:14.investigators had questioned the maid's credibility. This report
:02:14. > :02:23.contains some flash photography. From New York, Laura Trevelyan
:02:23. > :02:27.reports. Another turbulent day in the life of Dominique Strauss-Kahn
:02:27. > :02:32.- the former head of the IMF was back in court for a hastily
:02:32. > :02:37.scheduled appearance, looking confident and relaxed. His wife was
:02:37. > :02:40.there in support. As media gathered outside, inside the court the man
:02:40. > :02:44.accused of raping a hotel maid heard the prosecution admit they
:02:44. > :02:50.now had doubts about her story. Although it is clear the strength
:02:50. > :02:53.of the case has been affected by the substantial credibility issues
:02:53. > :02:59.relating to the witness, we are not moving to dismiss the case this
:02:59. > :03:04.time. We are consenting to the defendant's bail application.
:03:04. > :03:09.case still stands, said the judge, but he freed Dominique Strauss Kahn
:03:09. > :03:14.from bail. He can now travel around the US. His former lawyers are
:03:14. > :03:19.delighted. We have maintained from the beginning that Mr Strauss-Kahn
:03:19. > :03:24.is innocent of these charges and these recent disclosures reinforced
:03:24. > :03:31.our conviction that he will be exonerated. But lawyers for the
:03:31. > :03:36.chambermaid insist her story is accurate. The medical evidence
:03:36. > :03:43.supports the victim's account. The forensic evidence supports her
:03:43. > :03:50.account. She was taken from the hotel to the hospital in an
:03:50. > :03:56.ambulance. A grand jury has already found her account credible. This
:03:56. > :04:00.all began at a hotel in the heart of Manhattan on May 14th, when a
:04:00. > :04:05.maid accused Mr Strauss-Kahn of attempting to rape her. He was
:04:05. > :04:10.arrested on an plane bound for Paris. Five days later, he resigned
:04:10. > :04:14.as head of the International Monetary Fund. Today, in a dramatic
:04:14. > :04:18.development, the New York Times reported that the prosecution case
:04:19. > :04:23.against him may collapse because of doubts about the credibility of the
:04:23. > :04:28.made. She reportedly has links to drug dealers and money laundering.
:04:28. > :04:32.In France, this is headline news. Mr Strauss-Kahn was a contender for
:04:32. > :04:38.the French presidency. Supporters are already hoping he could return
:04:38. > :04:43.to political life. He would be welcome in France. I think the
:04:43. > :04:52.people here will have for him greater admiration than before
:04:52. > :04:58.because he has shown during this period great qualities of courage.
:04:58. > :05:03.It has been a gruelling six weeks for Mr Strauss-Kahn. From top
:05:03. > :05:06.global finance official to criminal defendant, now he is hoping to
:05:06. > :05:16.rehabilitate his reputation. And Matt Wells joins us from
:05:16. > :05:16.
:05:16. > :05:22.outside the court now. The defence say one thing, the prosecution say
:05:22. > :05:27.another. Is there a case against him or not? The case still exists
:05:27. > :05:31.and the charges are still there. He left court a lot freer than when he
:05:31. > :05:35.went into court but the charges still stand and he will be back
:05:35. > :05:40.later in the month to answer to them. The entire credibility of the
:05:40. > :05:46.case relies on the good character and the believability of this woman,
:05:46. > :05:50.and that has been severely tested in the last 24 hours by these
:05:50. > :05:54.reports leaked to newspapers from law enforcement authorities. It is
:05:54. > :05:58.the prosecution itself that is expressing these doubts. The
:05:58. > :06:02.defence all along was saying she had questions to answer and was
:06:02. > :06:09.going to be an unreliable witness potentially, but the power of her
:06:09. > :06:11.testimony will be the thing that that is brought into question,
:06:11. > :06:21.there will be further erosion that will be difficult for these charges
:06:21. > :06:22.
:06:22. > :06:26.to stick. The Libyan leader Colonel Gaddafi
:06:26. > :06:36.has threatened to carry out attacks in Europe unless NATO stops its
:06:36. > :06:36.
:06:36. > :06:41.campaign of air strikes against his regime in Libya. Colonel Gaddafi,
:06:42. > :06:45.whose voice you can hear, delivered the warning on Friday in a message
:06:45. > :06:50.played to thousands of his supporters gathered in the main
:06:50. > :06:56.square of the capital, Tripoli. It was one of the apparently largest
:06:56. > :07:00.pro-government rallies in recent weeks. Our correspondent is in
:07:00. > :07:07.Tripoli and joins us now. This is the first time, it would seem, that
:07:07. > :07:11.Colonel Gaddafi has made this direct threat to the West. Yes, I
:07:12. > :07:15.think it is and it was, as far as we can tell from this speech, which
:07:15. > :07:21.was made by telephone life to the square this evening to tens of
:07:21. > :07:25.thousands of his supporters gathered in the middle of Tripoli,
:07:25. > :07:29.during that live speech via telephone he made some very direct
:07:29. > :07:34.threat to NATO and European countries taking part in the
:07:34. > :07:40.campaign. He said "we will take this battle to Europe to target
:07:40. > :07:43.your homes, offices and families. We can move on you like locusts".
:07:43. > :07:47.This is the first time we have heard from Colonel Gaddafi in quite
:07:47. > :07:52.some time and it is the largest rally we have seen here in Tripoli
:07:52. > :07:57.for some weeks. The regime is claiming there were up to 2 million
:07:57. > :08:00.people, that seems a large exaggeration, but there were tens
:08:01. > :08:05.of thousands of supporters out here in what was clearly an attempt by
:08:05. > :08:15.the regime to show it still enjoys widespread support in the Libyan
:08:15. > :08:20.
:08:20. > :08:22.capital. Thank you. In Syria, tens of thousands of
:08:22. > :08:25.people have again taken to the streets calling for President
:08:25. > :08:27.Bashar al-Assad to leave office. Demonstrations were held across the
:08:27. > :08:30.country after Friday prayers. According to one human rights
:08:30. > :08:37.agency three people were killed during a military operation near to
:08:37. > :08:40.the Turkish border. Moroccans have been voting in a referendum on a
:08:40. > :08:42.draft constitution put forward by King Mohammed in response to pro-
:08:42. > :08:45.democracy protests. The king says the new constitution would give
:08:45. > :08:49.more power to the prime minister and parliament. Critics say it does
:08:49. > :08:53.not go far enough and called for a boycott.

:09:12. > :09:15.
:09:15. > :09:18.and trust of the people. The mystery surrounding the health
:09:18. > :09:24.of the Venezuelan President took another twist when he revealed he
:09:24. > :09:29.is being treated for cancer in Cuba. Previously he had said he had been
:09:30. > :09:32.operated on for a pelvic abscess. His government insists he is fully
:09:32. > :09:36.it's a rat -- exercising his authority but his opponents are
:09:37. > :09:46.questioning his ability to do so and the constitutional legality of
:09:47. > :09:48.
:09:48. > :09:55.his actions. Since President Hugo Chavez was first sworn into office
:09:55. > :09:59.over 12 years ago, he has been the strong man a Venezuelan politics. A
:09:59. > :10:03.charismatic talker who understands the power of publicity, the
:10:03. > :10:07.President has remained the one and only focal point of the government.
:10:07. > :10:11.Potential rivals from within his own party have been kept from the
:10:11. > :10:15.limelight by regular cabinet reshuffles. Those who have retained
:10:15. > :10:21.their jobs are completely loyal, but his announcement that he is
:10:21. > :10:24.being treated for cancer has shown a chink in his armour. TRANSLATION:
:10:24. > :10:29.This is a major intervention performed without complications,
:10:29. > :10:32.after which I am recovering successfully while I keep receiving
:10:32. > :10:38.complementary therapies to combat the various types of cells found,
:10:38. > :10:43.and so continue on the path to my full recovery. Opposition
:10:43. > :10:47.politicians have called into question his ability to govern from
:10:47. > :10:55.abroad while he is recovering. But the President insists he has been
:10:55. > :10:59.able to carry out his duties as head of state while he recuperates.
:10:59. > :11:03.A top military official went on Venezuelan television to give
:11:03. > :11:10.assurances that the President had the full support of the army, and
:11:10. > :11:14.that President Chaves remains in charge of the country. After the
:11:14. > :11:19.President won a pivotal referendum in 2009 to scrap presidential term
:11:19. > :11:24.limits, many thought he would be in power for years to come but his
:11:24. > :11:29.ill-health now calls that into question.
:11:29. > :11:39.With me now from Washington is the President Emeritus of the Inter-
:11:39. > :11:40.
:11:40. > :11:47.American Dialogue, Peter Hakim. Taking the President out of the
:11:47. > :11:54.equation, what does that mean? means you have no leader, no rules,
:11:54. > :12:01.and after 12 years of Hugo Chavez, no real institutions in the country.
:12:01. > :12:06.You have a classic political vacuum and very difficult to predict how
:12:06. > :12:09.this will work the room. Does the Venezuelan constitution have
:12:09. > :12:14.anything to say about whether her head of state can perform his
:12:14. > :12:20.duties from a different country? Whatever the constitution says on
:12:20. > :12:26.that, I think that no one would take that as a terribly strong
:12:26. > :12:32.restriction. The rules have been broken so often, and what Hugo
:12:32. > :12:38.Chavez says is what is taken as the rule. With his control over the
:12:38. > :12:44.judicial system and virtually every other source of power and decision
:12:44. > :12:48.in Venezuela, I wouldn't think that would beat any obstacle. If he can
:12:48. > :12:53.sit up in bed and communicate orders, he will essentially try to
:12:53. > :12:59.manage things from Venezuela, less well than he would obviously from
:12:59. > :13:05.Caracas. Was it 2002 when there was that failed coup attempt against
:13:05. > :13:14.him? You speak of this vacuum - could his opponents try to mount
:13:14. > :13:19.something similar again? I suspect not. A lot of time has gone by. For
:13:19. > :13:25.the first time the opposition really has been able to organise
:13:25. > :13:30.itself. They are promising now to run a single candidate. There are
:13:30. > :13:36.elections next year. I don't think they will want to do anything that
:13:36. > :13:42.will upset their plans for contesting the 2012 elections.
:13:42. > :13:49.about other people trying to fill the vacuum in his absence? Isn't
:13:49. > :13:56.there his older brother? Isn't he already a governor in the country?
:13:56. > :14:02.Could he exploit the family name at this moment? That is a clever
:14:02. > :14:07.Association of Venezuela's and Cuba, Fidel Castro's brother took over
:14:07. > :14:11.from him but I think it is a stretch in Venezuela. He has
:14:11. > :14:16.occupied very secondary positions in the government, rarely mentioned
:14:16. > :14:20.as a successor. In fact nobody is mentioned as a successor to Hugo
:14:20. > :14:26.Chavez and he doesn't really have any strong institutional base, the
:14:26. > :14:30.brother. I think what you will be seeing in Venezuela or effete Hugo
:14:30. > :14:40.Chavez remains outside the country for much longer, you are going to
:14:40. > :14:40.
:14:40. > :14:46.see the beginnings of a struggle for position, for striving to put
:14:46. > :14:52.one's self- in the position to replace Hugo Chavez. This has
:14:52. > :14:57.happened in numerous other situations and I think it is clear
:14:57. > :15:07.that the people in the top Tia of the government will be jockeying
:15:07. > :15:09.
:15:09. > :15:13.for position with each other. Thank you for your analysis. Kate-
:15:13. > :15:15.mania has broken out in Canada, as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge
:15:15. > :15:18.embark on their first official tour overseas as a married couple.
:15:18. > :15:21.Prince William, who's second in line to the British throne, had
:15:21. > :15:24.lasted visited Canada as a young teenager with his mother, the late
:15:24. > :15:32.Princess Diana. But this was his wife, Catherine's first visit to
:15:32. > :15:36.North America. At some point today he would have thought of her. The
:15:36. > :15:41.mother whom he lost when he was 15, and his 50th birthday would have
:15:41. > :15:45.been today. So much has come into William's life since then, most
:15:45. > :15:50.importantly, this woman, Catherine. On this second day of their first
:15:50. > :15:54.overseas tour together on Canada's national day, she was dressed in
:15:54. > :15:56.Canada's national colours of red and white. They went first to a
:15:56. > :16:00.ceremony to grant Canadian citizenship to 25 people from
:16:00. > :16:06.countries around the world. Each one was presented with Canadian
:16:06. > :16:11.flags by the couple. Then into a horse-drawn carriage. What memories
:16:11. > :16:15.that may have evoked of central London two months ago, for the ride
:16:15. > :16:18.to Parliament Hill in Ottawa, where every year Canada's National Day is
:16:19. > :16:23.celebrated with an outdoor pageant. This year the crowds were possibly
:16:23. > :16:28.bigger than ever before. There to celebrate their country's 144th
:16:28. > :16:34.birthday, and to welcome the guests of honour. While Canada's Governor-
:16:34. > :16:40.General concentrated on the guard of honour, but -- the crowds
:16:40. > :16:45.shouted for Will and Kate. The couple made their way to the stage,
:16:45. > :16:50.where they stood together to sing the British national anthem, and to
:16:50. > :16:55.celebrate the nearly 150 years of Canadian heritage and a crown which
:16:55. > :16:58.is based across the ocean. According to opinion polls, around
:16:58. > :17:03.50 % of Canadians think the monarchy is a relic from colonial
:17:03. > :17:08.times. So, a question. Can William and Kate make the monarchy seem
:17:08. > :17:12.more relevant to people here? think William and Kate can put a
:17:12. > :17:16.new face to the monarchy. They are very approachable, they are young,
:17:16. > :17:21.vibrant. I think they are a lot like all of us. That's what
:17:21. > :17:25.attracts people to them. They remind me of a Lady Diana. They
:17:25. > :17:30.carried the same charm and dignity that she carried, and the way they
:17:30. > :17:35.are able to connect with the people. On July 1st, 2011, the day Diana
:17:35. > :17:41.would have been 50, her eldest son can reassure himself that judging
:17:41. > :17:48.by this crowd he and his wife, Catherine, are ensuring her legacy
:17:48. > :17:53.lives on in today's Royal Family. From the newly wed British royal
:17:53. > :17:56.couple to another Royal Wedding. The principality of Monaco saw its
:17:56. > :17:59.ruler Prince Albert marry his bride, the South African Olympic swimmer
:17:59. > :18:01.Charlene Wittstock. The couple had a civil marriage today, and on
:18:01. > :18:08.Saturday they will have a Church ceremony. Lavish celebrations are
:18:08. > :18:12.planned for the weekend. Here, a senior cabinet minister has caused
:18:12. > :18:16.a bit of a stir by calling on businesses in the UK to take on
:18:16. > :18:18.more British workers rather than hiring from abroad. The Work and
:18:18. > :18:21.Pensions Secretary, Iain Duncan Smith, says young people here
:18:22. > :18:25.should be given a chance. But business groups insist that firms
:18:25. > :18:31.need the best people and that migrants often have a better work
:18:32. > :18:36.ethic and skills. Give the Brits a chance. That's the minister's
:18:36. > :18:39.demand. He's promising we will get the workless of benefits, but
:18:39. > :18:43.British businesses need to help get them out of the jobs queue by
:18:43. > :18:48.actively looking for UK employees. What Iain Duncan Smith wants is
:18:48. > :18:51.this. An immigration system that gives the unemployed, particularly
:18:51. > :18:54.the young unemployed, a level playing field so they have a chance
:18:54. > :19:00.to take the work when it's available. If we don't get this
:19:00. > :19:05.right, I think in our country and I suspect here as well, then we risk
:19:05. > :19:09.leaving our citizens, particularly young people, out of work.
:19:09. > :19:13.Duncan Smith made this beach in Spain. 1000 miles away in York, he
:19:13. > :19:17.reached a supportive audience. shouldn't be able to come in our
:19:18. > :19:22.country and get a job what people like me, other people like me in
:19:22. > :19:26.York need jobs desperately. I don't mind them coming over here, I've
:19:26. > :19:31.got nothing against them coming here. But I think it should go to
:19:31. > :19:37.us first. So who gets the extra jobs created in the UK? Last year,
:19:37. > :19:43.an extra 416,000 people were employed in Britain. Of those,
:19:43. > :19:47.77,000 were born in the UK. But 334,000 were born overseas. Over
:19:47. > :19:52.half of those were from the EU, partly the result of the decision
:19:52. > :19:56.to allow the new eastern European members of the Union the automatic
:19:56. > :19:59.right to work here. But as Polish supermarkets appeared in Britain,
:19:59. > :20:04.one reason there were more jobs is that more migrants were here
:20:04. > :20:09.looking for work, and doing the jobs that Brits wouldn't do. Having
:20:09. > :20:13.lunch at a Polish cafe in London, his accountant is here. Her clients
:20:13. > :20:18.are mainly small, Polish run businesses. Far from taking jobs,
:20:18. > :20:22.she says... Of they employed people, they create jobs. English people
:20:22. > :20:26.demand quite a lot because they feel they can. I understand that is
:20:26. > :20:31.fine. But the Polish people are coming over and having a job, they
:20:31. > :20:35.are very happy they've got the job. The Polish builder has firmly
:20:35. > :20:40.entered the popular consciousness. But businesses have got used to
:20:40. > :20:43.looking for employees overseas. Clearly, when you have these bright,
:20:43. > :20:47.young Eastern Europeans who really want to work, have very good
:20:47. > :20:51.customer services skills, employers are going to turn to them. Quite
:20:51. > :20:55.rightly. These businesses are competing in a globalised economy.
:20:55. > :20:59.The government has introduced a new cap on skilled workers from outside
:20:59. > :21:02.the EU. Labour says that policy is in disarray. But today's speech
:21:02. > :21:10.seemed designed to convince businesses that home-grown is
:21:10. > :21:16.better. Joining us to talk about the global workforce is Jonas
:21:16. > :21:20.Prisin, he was born in Sweden and has worked for Manpower all over
:21:21. > :21:25.the world. Does it make sense when a country is in top times, high
:21:25. > :21:31.unemployment and that kind of thing, to say, let our own people get the
:21:31. > :21:37.jobs even if it's at the expense of other European workers? It's a
:21:37. > :21:40.challenging paradox because we are coming out of a recession with high

:21:45. > :21:51.same time, an increasing number of employers are finding it difficult
:21:51. > :21:58.to find the right talent. And talent mobility in general, and we
:21:58. > :22:04.believe also strategic Migration in particular, is a good idea to fill
:22:04. > :22:08.some of that gap. But you know some people say that immigrants,
:22:08. > :22:12.particularly those from Eastern Europe, have a stronger work ethic
:22:12. > :22:16.and perhaps they do jobs that the locals don't want to do. What do
:22:16. > :22:23.you do - forced the locals to do those jobs even if they don't want
:22:23. > :22:28.to? I think that the aspects of... Do have a number of different
:22:28. > :22:30.things happening. You have a talent and skills mismatch a caring, which
:22:30. > :22:36.means there are not enough people with the right skills who are able
:22:36. > :22:40.to do the job that companies want them to do. And you also have
:22:40. > :22:46.aspects of the local labour force, who may choose not to do some of
:22:46. > :22:50.the work. You have to approach this with policies that clearly
:22:50. > :22:55.encourage the local labour force to want to and to have to get into
:22:55. > :22:59.those kinds of positions. But at the same time, allow companies to
:22:59. > :23:02.access talent pools where ever they may be, within a country or outside
:23:02. > :23:05.the country if that is a requirement. You've worked in
:23:05. > :23:09.several continents, is there any country you can think of that
:23:09. > :23:13.really says, we are going to pick the best people for this job
:23:13. > :23:18.regardless of class, colour, race, ethnicity, nationality - we're just
:23:18. > :23:22.going to pick the best people for the job? There are a number of
:23:22. > :23:28.countries that have a very clearly articulated strategic immigration
:23:28. > :23:35.policy. If you think of countries such as Australia, Singapore... But
:23:35. > :23:39.also within Europe itself we have a great deal of mobility. A mobility
:23:39. > :23:43.of skills that are in need, where for various reasons they cannot be
:23:43. > :23:48.filled locally. I think the European Union in itself is a very
:23:48. > :23:53.good example of what labour mobility can do in terms of
:23:53. > :23:57.allowing individuals find gainful employment whenever they wish, as
:23:57. > :24:01.well as companies attracting talent that have the right skills as well
:24:01. > :24:07.as the predisposition to go and work in those positions where ever

:24:09. > :24:12.weekend, Hollywood studio executives will be closely
:24:12. > :24:15.monitoring the box office returns of a newly released 3D film -
:24:15. > :24:18.Transformers: Dark of the Moon. Although they're expecting ticket
:24:18. > :24:21.sales to be strong, the interest of American audiences in most 3-D
:24:21. > :24:28.movies is down, so the big studios are worried. Talking Movies' Tom
:24:28. > :24:31.Brook reports. Transformers: Dark Of The Moon was just one of 163 D
:24:31. > :24:37.pictures being released by the studios during Hollywood's
:24:37. > :24:42.blockbuster season. Here we go! Everybody involved in the film has
:24:42. > :24:46.been relentlessly touting its 3D credentials. I don't like 3D, I
:24:46. > :24:50.haven't yet to see a movie that has enhanced the medium. But this is
:24:50. > :24:54.different. I'm not just saying that because I'm in it. This is the
:24:54. > :25:00.perfection of 3D. The reason for the hype, an attempt to overcome
:25:00. > :25:05.audience apathy. When James Cameron's 3D Avatar arrived 18
:25:05. > :25:11.months ago, audiences were damp -- ballast -- dazzled by its imagery.
:25:11. > :25:15.But since then most 3D films have disappointed. The special effects
:25:15. > :25:20.on worth that much more money. think it's a waste of money. People
:25:20. > :25:25.are being robbed. Declining interest in 3D films has made the
:25:25. > :25:28.studios nervous. I think that the honeymoon for 3D is over. The
:25:28. > :25:32.percentage of gross coming from the Prix de Ski -- screens is getting
:25:32. > :25:36.less and less with every film. What was a novelty and interesting a
:25:36. > :25:42.year ago was now becoming commonplace. Part of the problem
:25:42. > :25:45.has been too many 3D films not conceived in 3D but converted up
:25:45. > :25:51.from to be in post production as an afterthought. I think 3D as a
:25:51. > :25:55.format has been hurt by a lot of mediocrity. It's important for the
:25:55. > :26:00.industry that this format gets to see it handled the right way.
:26:00. > :26:03.Strangely, while interest in 3D is winning in the US, its flourishing
:26:03. > :26:08.in many countries outside America where exploitation of the format is
:26:08. > :26:13.at an earlier stage. Analysts think interest could soon dwindle.
:26:13. > :26:18.people see up to five bad 3D movies in a row, no matter what country or
:26:18. > :26:20.continent you live on, you are going to get sick of 3D. Industry
:26:20. > :26:24.insiders see Transformers: Dark Of The Moon as a significant movie in
:26:24. > :26:28.the evolution of 3D. The film's director boasts his film will
:26:28. > :26:33.reacquaint audiences what the full potential of 3D not witnessed since
:26:33. > :26:37.Avatar. To do 3D well costs a lot of money, takes a lot of time and
:26:37. > :26:42.takes a lot of people. Many of these movies, they are doing this
:26:42. > :26:44.as an afterthought. This movie is doing it from the beginning.
:26:44. > :26:47.even a 3D ticket sales for Transformers: Dark Of The Moon are
:26:47. > :26:57.very strong, experts say it's going to be the exception rather than the
:26:57. > :27:01.
:27:01. > :27:11.rule. Three-day -- 3D they say is I must go and take a look at one
:27:11. > :27:19.
:27:19. > :27:23.myself and put those spectacles on. We've got a very settled spell of
:27:23. > :27:27.weather currently with most places being dry, fined and with more
:27:27. > :27:31.sunshine around. As we look to the weekend, that will continue with
:27:31. > :27:35.the dry theme, some sunny spells, or due to high pressure which is
:27:35. > :27:39.well and truly in charge of our weather. The cloud is picking up
:27:39. > :27:43.across Eastern Counties and there's the risk of a few light showers.
:27:43. > :27:46.After a sunny start on Saturday, again the cloud does tend to
:27:46. > :27:50.increase. We can't rule out a light shower across eastern counties of
:27:50. > :27:55.England. They are very few and far between, they will be short-lived.
:27:55. > :28:00.Most places will be dry Anne Fine. Temperatures in London on Saturday
:28:00. > :28:04.a bit like Friday at 22 degrees. Most places having light winds but
:28:04. > :28:08.through the afternoon we will see some sea breezes developing around
:28:08. > :28:11.the south coast. Temperatures in Barnstaple about 19 Celsius. The
:28:11. > :28:14.afternoon is looking a bit cloudier but the sun is still quite strong,
:28:14. > :28:20.so it's going to stay bright through the afternoon. But Northern
:28:20. > :28:23.Ireland, the best of that sunshine across the south-east corner. It's
:28:23. > :28:27.day is always more of a cast through north-west Scotland with a
:28:27. > :28:31.few spots of patchy, light rain. Further south across Scotland it
