There is an overriding sense here this morning, just as there is at home of disbelief at disbelief that it has been ten years and how much further are we, really .

There is only one proven fact and thatis there is only one proven fact and that is that she disappeared from herfamilys that is that she disappeared from her familys apartment in this resort one decade ago. The on that we do not know why, who she was with and we do not know where she is now. Ten years. Ten years since everything changed here. Ten years since a little girl vanished on a holiday with her parents. It is unbelievable that nothing, there has been nothing. Nobody has found anything. They have not found the child, they have not found anything. Jenny remembers it like it was yesterday. She only lives a few yards from the block where madeline disappeared. Back then she set up a stall outside, appealing for information. She never imagined that the case would be an solved a decade on. This comes into my mind every day. Every single day. Everything you look at and you see all around you look at and you see all around you is. It connects somehow to the fa ct you is. It connects somehow to the fact that a little girl disappeared. There are still so many theories. This week it has been claimed that on the Night Madeline disappeared a mystery woman was seen outside the familys apartment. Jenny told me she saw this woman who is now reported to be a significant part of the investigation. I noticed her and it looked as if she was trying to hide. I remember she it looked as if she was trying to hide. I remembershe was it looked as if she was trying to hide. I remember she was wearing a plum coloured top.

It was one of those small cars, likea street. It was one of those small cars, like a rental car, the normal everyday sort of rental car. Could you see the driver . I saw the driver. We just looked at each other andi driver. We just looked at each other and i think he had a very british look about him. Please give our little girl back. Ten years of unprecedented publicity. Ten years of appeals but no answers. Unprecedented publicity. Ten years of appeals but no answersm unprecedented publicity. Ten years of appeals but no answers. It had a huge impact on my personality. Jennys son robert was to be named a suspect in the case. One decade on his name may have been cleared but he still cannot bear to look online. I would like to know the truth, not theories. I just want to know why that was the case. It did not only lead to me being destroyed, it led to my whole family being destroyed and affected by those allegations. They were completely untrue. And you are adamant that you were not there that night . 10096. Ten years ago this was just another sleepy village. Now it is the place where madeline disappeared. Madeleine. People here on the beach were telling us that this case had changed the way they look after their children, they do not want to lose sight of where their children are, not merely when they are on holiday but at home in they are on holiday but at home in the uk as. They are haunted what happened to madeline. 0f the uk as. They are haunted what happened to madeline.

You can see the surfboard quite clearly. It was key to his survival, wasnt it . Yes. That is why we often dont find ourselves rescuing surfers. They have wetsuits and have a good community. At the end of the day, it isa community. At the end of the day, it is a big float that is always attached to them. Normally, it would bring you into shore, not take you 30 miles out yes. Most will swim past the break in ways and want to get back into shore. Generally, they are constantly being taken back to shore, which is why this story is quite rare. We know he suffered from hypothermia and is trying to get better before doing interviews. What challenges would he have faced . Was it called . Just staying out of the water . Cold. He was clearly experienced. Yes. Cold will always bea experienced. Yes. Cold will always be a massive factor in uk and irish waters. It does not get much warmer than 11 degrees. The fact he is wearing a wetsuit will be one of the main reasons he survived. The fact he had that wetsuit, he was able to maintain his Body Temperature better. Being out of the water that long must have been terrifying. He was out overnight. For that many hours. It must have been hard. The release of seeing a helicopter must have been intense. How important is being optimistic for survival . You might seea being optimistic for survival . You might see a plane go past and they may not see you. Is it important you stay hopeful . Absolutely. Absolutely. Knowing there is rescue coming is the main thing. That is why whenever we have any casualties, we talk about how important it is to let people know where you are, let people know when you are coming back. And for that reason, being optimistic will help. For anyone watching this this morning, they will probably not find themselves 30 miles out to see grabbing onto a surfboard. Top tips. If you find yourself out there, how do you prepare . It depends what you are doing. The main thing to take away is respect the water. That is the National Campaign we are trying to get out to people. Are the people going out there dont no what they are doing. Half. Make sure that you calm down, float, and call for help. When you say float, what do you mean . I literally mean that. Dont panic. Absolutely. When people fall in the water, in the uk in particular, they are vulnerable to what is called cold water shock, giving us a big shock to the nervous system. That is the most critical time. Aaron sting shall be to swim as hard as we can. We tell people not to trust that. 0ur instincts. You will have a better chance to survive. I know you give this advice all the time, but dont go in after someone. All the time, but dont go in after someone. Shout calm down and breathe. That is really important. We wa nt breathe. That is really important. We want to go in and tell someone. The best thing to do is not to go in and rescue people. We have heard stories of that turning the tragedy as well because they get hurt as well. The best thing to do is make sure the correct help is coming. Call 999. Thank you. What an incredible story. Thank you very much indeed. Pressure still dominates the weather. That allows more of an easterly throw which is a chilly direction. Settled conditions but there is a chance, just a chance we may see some rain coming into the south west early on saturday. I know some gardeners want rain so i do understand. Thank you, carol. |j some gardeners want rain so i do understand. Thank you, carol. Iwas looking for patterns, it looked like a strange finger thing. Sorry, i was distracted. More of us are expected to still be paying off our mortgages in retirement. Its a surprise when you think about Property Prices and how much longer we are living in a different prayer she is we face. Pressures. According to the Building Societies Association Mortgage debt for the over 65s is set to double by 2030. There are a number of reasons for this more older people with an existing loan are looking to remortgage their property in order to release cash to pass onto their children or grandchildren or pay for things like social care. That means theyll be paying off their loan later in life but also people are getting onto the Property Ladder later in life and want longer to pay off their loan because house prices are so high. According to the bsa around half of 25 34 Year Olds think theyll need a mortgage lasting into retirement. It all means that lenders are having to re think about lending to older people. Sarah wilde is from the Building Societies Association Good morning, sarah. Can you give us context of this . It is not a surprise, is it, that Mortgage Providers need to rethink how they providers need to rethink how they provide muggy to people. This is something that the Building Society sector has been leading on and looking at a long while. We started this last year, but, all Building Societies need to review age limits. All 34 of them will lend to age 80 and over so things are changing. We are leading the way. As you mentioned, there are many pressures for people and normal people are needing to borrow later. Many people are getting on to the ladder in Their 30s And 40s and fulham some a lot lower of the connection to get onto the ladder. Wages are not keeping up with House Price Increases and there is a lot of factors that goes into that, one of those being the huge supply in housebuilding. That is something that we think needs to be addressed by the next government. We think that needs to be a real priority to help relieve the pressure. And if you are trying to get a mortgage later in life, how difficult is it . Is it much harder with Credit Checks and tougher regulations . Regardless of age, you need to go through income and outgoings and make sure you assess your affordability which is what a lender will look at regardless of age. I think post credit crisis the rules were tightened up so did become a little more difficult for older borrowers but that. I think the works were doing, certainly, is raising awareness about the need to fill that gap and ensuring that people are not locked out of the Housing Market and that we are addressing the needs. Because the demographics are involving and needs are changing, we do need to keep up with it. We are making a good start. At the moment, what is the common age that people will get a mortgage and how do you see that changing . Traditionally you look to buy housing in your 20s, perhaps you trade up in your 30s or 40s and, hopefully, by your 50s and 60s you will have paid off your mortgage and be going into retirement debt free. What this Research Shows is that by 2030 is more likely that in your 30s and if you are lucky, you will be getting onto the Housing Ladder a bit later and because you are getting on later you will, already, york First Mortgage may take you past retirement age. But as a change we are seeing. We feel that Financial Services and lenders need to adapt to that change. Do you get many older people asking for mortgages . You various reasons. Some would like to support their grandchildren, many may wish to go on the holiday of a lifetime all support thats all i have at the moment. Morejust afterseven. Support thats all i have at the moment. More just after sevenm your 80s . you moment. More just after sevenm your 80s . you would moment. More just after sevenm your 80s . you would not necessarily expect that. One of the uks last Killer Whales was contaminated with shocking levels of a toxic chemical according to scientists. The animal, called lulu, was found dead on the Isle Of Tiree last year, tests reveal her body contained among the highest levels ever recorded of a chemical banned since the 1970s. 0ur science correspondent, Rebecca Morelle reports. They are the uks last Killer Whales. Found off the west coast of scotland, today this pod has just eight animals. But they are in trouble. Last year the group lost a female. Lulu was found dead on the shores of the inner hebrides. She had been caught up in fishing line. Tests showed she was heavily contaminated with man made chemicals called pcbs. The levels that we found in lulu were 20 times higher than the levels that we would expect in cetaceans that were not suffering any effects of pcbs. That puts her as one of the most contaminated animals on the planet. In Killer Whales the chemicals can stop the animals from bearing young. They harm the Immune System and also the brain. Here in the laboratory, the effect of heat is shown. Pcbs was once a man made wonder chemical, used in everything from plastics to electrics. And from the 1970s a series of bans Around The World it was later discovered that they were toxic and from the 1970s a series of bans Around The World were put into place. But they have stuck around, especially in Landfill Sites that contain the materials they were once used in. This is coming from the land into the sea and on into the marine food chain. Some Scientists Say more needs to be done to clear pcbs from the environment but uk Officials Say levels are declining. Pcbs are a global concern but with so few Killer Whales left in the uk it is a problem that is sharply felt. It is likely the rest of lulus pod is also heavily contaminated, making their future very uncertain. That is a shame. They are such beautiful animals. Rather grim news, really.

Theresa may will visit Buckingham Palace today, for an audience with the queen, to mark the Dissolution Of Parliament. It signals the official start of the general Election Campaign and just after midnight all seats in the House Of Commons became vacant. It feels like it has been going for weeks already. Attention turns to the local elections tomorrow, with crucial votes for 34 english councils, all scottish and Welsh Councils, as well as a number of local authority mayors. The deadline to register to vote in the General Election is may 22nd and polls open onjune 8th. 0ur Political Correspondent, ben wright, is in westminster. Good morning. In some ways today is really a formality. Campaigning has been happening for the last couple of weeks. It has. Westminster is quiet. Mps have gone. A fortnight of rallies and canvassing and claims and counterclaims already. That will go and counterclaims already. That will 9 up and counterclaims already. That will goupa and counterclaims already. That will go up a gear during the General Election robber. A sense that today. Both parties making big policy pitches. Labour is talking about the nhs. That is their territory. They say if they won the election they would pause the restructuring of the nhs in england. Lots of constituencies, the restructuring of services, accident and emergency, it is clearly of concern to many people. They said they will have a moratorium when they get an office. The tories are going after the weak spot of labour, economic credibility. They were arguing today that if labour wins, there would be a £45 billion black hole in their figures. After all of the announcements over previous years, they say that is what taxpayers will be left to pay if labour winner. Labour says that is rubbish and it will all be costed in the manifesto. There will be a lot of discussion about brexit. Eus Chief Negotiator will make a speech today. What will he say . Michel barnier will make a speech this morning just explaining that he now has a Negotiating Mandate from the 27 eu member states. He is now able to go and talk to the uk once the election is out of the way and negotiations formally begin. There is a very interesting article in the Financial Times today suggesting that the brexit bill, the amount of money the uk will be asked to pay, early in these negotiations, and it could have risen substantially. 60 Billion Euros was the original cost. The ft now thinks it could be 100 billion euros. Battle be one of the most controversial part of the brexit negotiation. Michel barnier will probably not talk about it today, but it will cause a lot of concern and anger, certainly in number 10. Today marks ten years since the disappearance of Madeleine Mccann. The bbcs Panorama Programme has learnt that portuguese detectives never believed the main British Police theory about what happened to the toddler. The three year old went missing from a Holiday Apartment in praia da luz on the third of may, 2007. Despite Extensive International inquiries, no firm leads have been found and the investigations remain open. But a former Scotland Yard commissioner has said continuing the search for madeleine was the right thing to do. Sure, it was a huge amount of money. I just look at the human factor. The human factor is this little girl missing and we dont know why. The Panorama Programme, Madeleine Mccann ten years on, will be on bbc one at nine oclock this evening. And in the next 20 minutes, well be speaking tojon kay, who is in praia da luz speaking to one of the men who was originally questioned about the toddlers disappearance. Detectives have been given more time to question three young women arrested on suspicion of terror offences. The three, two aged 18, and one 19, were detained in east london on monday. The operation was linked to a raid in North West London last week, during which another woman was shot and wounded by police. The england footballer, aaron lennon, is reported to have been detained under the Mental Health act. Police said the 30 year Old Premier League star was taken to hospital for assessment amid concerns for his welfare. His club, everton, say they are supporting lennon as he receives treatment for a stress related illness. They added that his family has asked privacy at this time. Lennons representative, base soccer agency, also tweeted that their support to the winger, who joined everton from tottenham in 2015.

New Research Suggests that people who take statins are reporting side effects that are not caused by the cholestoral lowering drugs.

The authors of the research say that some people are being put off taking the medication, potentially putting lives at risk. Smartphone users in the uk can only get a 4g Connection, on average, two thirds of the time, according to a study by the Consumer Group, which.

Very impressive. The Dissolution Of Parliament and the Prime Ministers meeting with the queen later today marks the formal start of one of the most closely watched general Election Campaigns in recent years. The Party Leaders have already been on the Campaign Trail Fighting for votes and have an early test tomorrow in the local elections. Elections expert, Professorjohn Curtice, joins us from westminster. Good morning. We have got a busy few weeks ahead of us. Give us an idea at the moment where the main parties stand going into this. The truth is the tories go into this General Election well ahead in the Opinion Polls. They are around the 15 16 point mark. We have seen support for ukip fall away since the election was called by theresa may. That seems to have switched to the conservatives. The last half dozen Opinion Polls have suggested the labour party has had a little bit of a recovery. That makes the tories concerned about where we were on the tuesday after easter when the Prime Minister called the election. I think theresa may should achieve the objective of getting a large majority in the House Of Commons. We will keep an eye on that in the next few weeks. If it begins to fall to any significant degree, the early election may not look like such a goodidea election may not look like such a good idea at all. You have a good win streak, but polls dont mean that much, we have learned recently. That is true. We need to bear in mind that we have never had an occasion when Opinion Polls put a party that far ahead, 15 16 points, and find the other side one. There was a problem in 2015, it was in the direction of over estimating labour. If you are a Labour Supporter and are trying to comfort yourself that the polls got it wrong in 2015, he might need to bear in mind the direction of the error. The conservative lead could in fact be a little bit bigger. What about the Liberal Democrats . Will they get a bounce from being anti brexit . Liberal democrats . Will they get a bounce from being anti brexit . The lib dems are currently in a stronger position than they were in 2015 in the General Election. They are running at about 10 11 in the Opinion Polls as opposed to the 8 they got in 2015. At the truth is that, so far, at least, since the election was called, there is no evidence of them being any more successful tha n evidence of them being any more successful than they are already. The truth is most people going to vote lib dem are remaining voters. Lib dems will focus on constituencies in london like to again which they lost in 2015 twickenham. We have to remember that london is very different from much of the rest of england. That is probably the reason why the capital might perhaps be relatively good picking grounds for the lib dems. Perhaps it is for the lib dems above all that we will give results coming out tomorrow night and on friday. In local government by elections recently we have seen some spectacular lib dem performances and some poor ones. It will help us get a handle on where they are and where they may advance. That might give us an idea of what might happen in the coming weeks and days. One more question if i can about issues. Whenever we speak to a conservatives politician they speak about brexit and talk about being strong and stable. We have been tried to talk about other issues. Labour has been trying to talk about other issues. What is important to people . The truth is, if you take Opinion Polls, they actually do say that rigs it matters. They do say, by the way, that those issues certainly do rhyme with some voters concerns. At the same time, they also say that domestic issues matter, not least the nhs, which is of course the issue about which labour are talking today. There is definitely a battle for the agenda the Conservatives Wa Nt to for the agenda the conservatives want to fight a campaign on leadership and a little bit of our policy. Labour on the other hand have been coming up with a policy a day. We will have to see which proved more effective. Will be Prime Minister be able to succeed for five weeks saying less than parties usually say around a General Election about what they will do, and will labours way of coming up with a new policy everyday counter that position from the conservatives . Different campaign styles. A battle for the Campaign Agenda in the Election Campaign. Fascinating as ever. My Favourite Line of the date. 0pinion polls should be taken but not inhaled. We should be taken but not inhaled. We should remember that over the coming weeks. This will not be a surprise but generally in april, as you can see here we had less tha n in april, as you can see here we had less than average rainfall. Normally in the south there will be a white bit where we average rainfall. In the highlands, again, the average rainfall where we had a bit more. Not a lot of rain on the cards today. If you see it it will be in the south east so for most it will be mainly dry. The nhs, which is of course the issue about which labour are talking today. There is definitely a battle for the agenda the Conservatives Wa Nt to for the agenda the conservatives want to fight a campaign on leadership and a little bit of our policy. Labour on the other hand have been coming up with a policy a day. We will have to see which proved more effective. Will be Prime Minister be able to succeed for five weeks saying less than parties usually say around a General Election about what they will do, and will labours way of coming up with a new policy everyday counter that position from the conservatives . Different campaign styles. A battle for the Campaign Agenda in the Election Campaign. Fascinating as ever. My Favourite Line of the date. 0pinion polls should be taken but not inhaled. We should be taken but not inhaled. We should remember that over the coming weeks. This will not be a surprise but generally in april, as you can see here we had less tha n in april, as you can see here we had less than average rainfall. Normally in the amount changes as we head into the weekend. Although there is a chance weekend. Although there is a chance we may see some rain in the south west on saturday. Plenty of stuff happening in the newspapers today. We are talking about the ten Year Anniversary of the disappearance of Madeleine Mccann and the man from the cambridge as for £1. 3 million over topless pictures of the duchess of kent. 0n the telegraph, many newspapers have photos from the netball as well. And its worth having a look at some of the extraordinary outfits. Their main story is about diesel drivers being offered compensation to encourage them to scrap or retrofit polluting vehicles. They are also talking about the Medication Story we mentioned in our news bulletin. And plenty of pictures of the Prime Minister eating chips on the trail yesterday. A funny tweet from ed miliband who had a situation with a bacon sandwich. He sent a tweet saying that he and three is a need to talk. Generally, eating in public with a camera around is deadly. To talk. Generally, eating in public with a camera around is deadlym is never good. And mentioned earlier, there is no source on those no catch up. This needs a full investigation, i believe. And here we have another picture from the met gala. And they also talk about brexit, being a unable to lead brexit, being a unable to lead brexit talks. Im referring to theresa may refers to itself as a bloody difficult woman. And also issues with a pound coin. This one he has no middle. We are trying to get hold of the royal mint if they can comment on that. You could wear asa can comment on that. You could wear as a necklace. A little like mine, strangely. And i know you were discussing pound coins earlier but pounds for sainsburys . Discussing pound coins earlier but pounds for sainsburys . Yes, their results came out in the last few minutes on their profits have fallen, fallen 8. 2 they are still making up some money but, interestingly, the profits have fallen for the third year in a row. 0bviously with all of this there are many numbers and analysis about why and they speak about the challenging environment at the moment saying that because the value of the pound has fallen, it means we are importing things such as food, but pushes prices up and makes it harder for places like sainsbury is to make money. They actually said the other reason why the profits are falling is because they have been cutting prices lot so they have been taking that hit. When you break the business down, the Clothing Side of the business is doing well and food is the call for them. Around half of the food they sell is there an branded food. And they talk about how they are looking at more on that. And they purchased argos last year . Yes, they did. £1. 4 billion it cost them to purchase that and, looking at this, it seems to be helping the business quite a bit. We have the Chief Executive Officer on the programme and we will find out some more. Ijust wanted. I now we like a bit of talk about Breakfast Bite Cereal Tasting better in a square ball. This has been a debate over the last 24 hours. I dont have a square over the last 24 hours. I dont have a square ball . If it is it relevant . A p pa re ntly a square ball . If it is it relevant . Apparently your mind convinces you. I dont know why. Dont ask for details. Ifeel i dont know why. Dont ask for details. I feel that my cereal tastes better out of my sons batman ball. It is ten years to the day that three year old Madeleine Mccann went missing from a Holiday Apartment in the portuguese village of praia da luz. Its a case that drew attention Around The World and cast a shadow on the algarve resort. Jon kay is there for us this morning. Good morning to you both. I think that as people here in Praia Da Luz Wa Ke that as people here in praia da luz wake up this morning and they realise it is the ten Year Anniversary today. A sense of disbelief that ten years could have passed and yet how much further on are we . That little girls face is so are we . That little girls face is so familiar, we know her Around The World simply as madeleine and there is simplyjust one fact she disappeared. We dont know why and we certainly dont know where she is now. Ten years. Ten years since everything changed here. Ten years since a little girl vanished on a holiday with her parents. It is unbelievable that nothing, there has been nothing. Nobody has found anything. They have not found the child, they have not found anything. Jenny murat remembers it like it was yesterday. She only lives a few yards from the block where madeleine disappeared. Back then she set up a stall outside, appealing for information. She never imagined that the case would be unsolved a decade on. This comes into my mind every day. Every single day. Everything you look at and you see all around you is. It connects somehow to the fact that a little girl disappeared. There are still so many theories. This week it has been claimed that on the Night Madeleine disappeared a mystery woman was seen outside the familys apartment. Jenny told me she saw this woman, who is now reported to be a significant part of the investigation. I noticed her and it looked as if she was trying to hide. I remember she was wearing a plum coloured top. For the first time, jenny has also told us about a car she saw that night, speeding towards the mccanns apartment, heading the wrong way down a 1 way street. It was one of those small cars, like a rental car, the normal everyday sort of rental car. Could you see the driver . I saw the driver. We just looked at each other and i think he had a very british look about him. Please give our little girl back. Repeats her plea in portuguese. Ten years of unprecedented publicity. Ten years of appeals but no answers. It had a huge impact on my personality. Jennys son robert was to be named a suspect in the case. One decade on, his name may have been cleared but he still cannot bear to look online. I would like to know the truth, not theories. I just want to know why that was the case. It did not only lead to me being destroyed, it led to my whole family being destroyed and affected by those allegations. They were completely untrue. And you are adamant that you were not there that night . 100 . Ten years ago this was just another sleepy village. Now it is the place where madeleine disappeared. And with that in mind there are people who live here, who have lived here for ten years who are frustrated and angered by the attention, the media turning up, the police, and they wish this case would just disappear or at least be solved so they can get on with their lives. But people here now that until Madeleine Mccann is found and herfamily until Madeleine Mccann is found and her family and the rest of us know what happened to her they will be associated with this case. With that in mind, tonight there will be a service held at this church. This is the church down by the harbour where Maddie Mccann s parents would come and pray to seek solace during the days after she vanished. They are not here at the moment that tonight members of the local community, expats, and tourist are invited to come here to remember madeleine and about the time she disappeared, nine oclock tonight. Not just about the time she disappeared, nine oclock tonight. Notjust remember madeleine. Significantly, this will bea madeleine. Significantly, this will be a service to remember both madeleine and all missing people. That is the message that people here in praia da luz really want to get across. Thank you very much, john. We will speak to you later. Coming up we will speak to you later. Coming up this morning we speak to Colleen Jackson in around ten or 15 minutes time about having a world record taken. Colin jackson. Time about having a world record taken. Colinjackson. Also, if you watch snooker, mark selby once again is the snooker world champion. He will be here and we can ask him if he was singing karaoke at five a. M. Time now for the news, travel and weather wherever you are watching us.

Wow congratulations on smirking through saying smug duties. Scores of athletes could be stripped of their World Records under new proposals from european athletics. The Governing Body only wants records to be recognised if they can stand up to strict new criteria as part of an attempt to make a clean break with the sports doping scandals. As a result, any records set before 2005 are now at risk. Thats almost half of the 146 mens and womens indoor and outdoor records. Athletes including paula radcliffe, Jonathan Edwards and colinjackson are amongst those who could be affected. Svein arne hansen, president of european athletics, said World Records are meaningless if people dont really believe them. And we will speak to colinjackson now. Good morning. They give are joining us. I know you feel strongly about this. As it stands, one of your World Records would not stand. How do you feel . Good morning. Pretty frustrated about the whole decision procedure. I think they kind of nullified the whole of my career. My personal best is a world record, correct. But if they remove that off the record books, that means they literally wiped out a huge part of my career. Can you understand where they are coming from . They say they need to make this more believable. Anyone listening on the radio and watching needs to be able to measure that against this. To do that, we need to start from scratch. Does that make ita start from scratch. Does that make it a valid argument at all . No. A simple answer. What we tried to do was convinced the General Public that athletics is clear. The best way we can do that is have a real stringent doping Test Procedure that eve ryo ne stringent doping Test Procedure that everyone is confident with. I think to really put us all in the same category as everyone else banned from taking drugs and removing medals etc from them, it is harsh to those clean like myself. Do you feel clea n those clean like myself. Do you feel clean athletes are being punished . Absolutely. On reflection, i think of my whole career, i have said this in the interview just of my whole career, i have said this in the interviewjust recently, if you take away my personal best of 12. 91, which i set at the world championships, a european record, and have a gold medal and no time to go with that particular gold medal at the championships, that is ridiculous. I heard you discussing this on the radio yesterday with steve. It was really well articulated. Let us say we wipe the slate clean and in a years time they break a record and then five yea rs they break a record and then five years down the line they are found to have cheated and taken drugs. Do we wipe the slate clean again . It almost removes timings and distances from a sport about breaking distance and time. Exactly. It is run on history. Looking back at performances, they are of the market or the next generation to try to achieve. You can see quite clearly if someone is positive they want to do this, they will have to reset everything. If you want confidence, this is a farcical way to do it. 2005 is when they are talking about it. Blood and urine have only been stored since 2005. How was drug testing like back then . Very regular. I even had blood tests as well to make sure i was a clean athlete. It wasnt anything unusual or dissimilar. They are saying they have not got the ability to check thoroughly. What was the point of those tests in the past . Before any championships you are tested randomly and at events. I cant see how they would have all my documents and how they could look and say, well, we need to remove these records because we are not sure he was clean. What statement is that . If this is not the way to get confidence back in the sport, what would you suggest they should be doing . How can they recreate that . Is it possible . I am not sure what the real answer is to that to get the real answer is to that to get the General Public to believe in performances. I am a purist in the world of athletics. I love my sport. So when i look at an event, if i look at times in performances, i never really think of it as dubious in any sense. Ijust marvel at never really think of it as dubious in any sense. I just marvel at what the women being is doing. Perhaps, you know, Iam The Women Being is doing. Perhaps, you know, i am sitting the women being is doing. Perhaps, you know, iam sitting in the women being is doing. Perhaps, you know, i am sitting in the wrong place. The human being. Ijust enjoy athletics. You are still a what recordholder. 1994. An amazing time to hold it. When you see people doing the 60 metres, do you think, go on, beat me. Or do you not want it . No, i dont want them to beat it. I bite my nails every indoor season. You must have been flying on that day. Great to hear from you. Thank you. We had a pundit in the studio who used to hold the record. They wanted to say that. They wanted to say they were impressed. But they we re to say they were impressed. But they were furious. 2 theresa may will visit Buckingham Palace today for an audience with the queen. Ten years to the day since Madeleine Mccann went missing. Theresa may will visit Buckingham Palace today for an audience with the queen. Ten years to the day since Madeleine Mccann went missing. It felt fresh this morning. What will it be like, carol . Good morning to you both. A lovely picture of the Severn Bridge in south gloucestershire, sent in by a Weather Watcher. Thank you for that. Generally today it will be dry. Some of us will have sunshine, some of us will see cloud and some of us are seeing some splashes of rain. You can see there is a lot of sunshine to begin the day on the satellite picture. However the cloud will build from the east through the day and drift westwards, eradicating that sunshine and the rain will become patchy and it will be breezy so become patchy and it will be breezy so the north and the west will see the lions share once again of the sunshine as we head through the afternoon. Bye for oclock, Western Parts of wales will be film as. The temperature reaching 16 celsius. For Northern Ireland, you will start chilly but it will be sunny. A similar story for scotland with temperatures yesterday reaching 21, making it the warmest day of this year so far. Today, possibly reaching 19. Chilly start over in the west. East. Look at the cloud builds as we go through the day across the pennines at, down towards the south coast. Some patchy rain around and as we drift further with the cloud also builds, the south westies bright but not immune to build shower. Three evening and overnight we hang on to this breeze. Still cloudy, still wish ours. Especially scotland and Northern Ireland. They will see clear skies and after dark that but you will drop quickly. Like this morning, we could well see a touch of frost. It means that tomorrow we will have some sunshine from the word go. Still where we have cloud there will bea still where we have cloud there will be a couple showers but we do have a keen breeze. That would help break up keen breeze. That would help break up the cloud but if you were in the breeze that will feel cold, particularly in the eastern coastal counties and particularly if you are stuck under cloud and showers. So, once again, as we move north this is where we will see the line sharer of the sunshine. Parts of South West England will also see some of that. A lot are clad in the south on friday, brighter skies were sunshine further north. Still greeted with temperatures between ten and 15 celsius. Then as we head on into the weekend, the High Pressure that has been dominating our weather tends to drift towards iceland. That is salient because the air comes in a clockwise direction around it so that we will pull more of an northerly component into our weather which means it will fill cooler but mostly dry. There is a risk we could see some rain, just a risk, into the south west during the course of saturday but from the thick cloud you can see some odd showers. So, really, with the next two days in the bulk of the uk remains fairly benign. Use a fairly benign. We will take that. Thank you, carol. We were talking this morning about wales. One of the last call wales in the uk was contaminated with shocking levels of the top click cameron call. The animal was cold lulu and she was found damp last year. Test revealed her body contained among the highest level ever recorded of the highest level ever recorded of the chemical banned since the 1970s. There are fears that others in her pod could also be affected. They are the uks last Killer Whales. Found off the west coast of scotland, today this pod has just eight animals. But they are in trouble. Last year the group lost a female. Lulu was found dead on the shores of the inner hebrides. She had been caught up in fishing line. So, this is lulus skull, this is the head. Her skeleton is now stored at the National Museum scotland. Tests showed she was heavily contaminated with man made chemicals called pcbs. The levels that we found in lulu were 20 times higher than the levels that we would expect in cetaceans that were not suffering any effects of pcbs. That puts her as one of the most contaminated animals on the planet. In Killer Whales the chemicals can stop the animals from bearing young. They harm the Immune System and also the brain. One theory is the pcbs severely impaired her intelligence, perhaps leading to her deadly entanglement in the fishing nets. Here in the laboratory, the effect of heat is shown. Pcbs was once a man made wonder chemical, used in everything from plastics to electrics. It was later discovered that they were toxic and from the 1970s a series of bans Around The World were put into place. But they have stuck around, especially in Landfill Sites that contain the materials they were once used in. Today the pcb problem lives on, especially in our oceans. The chemicals are long lasting and dont break down easily. There is an estimated million tons of the material in europe, this is coming from the land into the sea and on into the marine food chain. Some Scientists Say more needs to be done to clear pcbs from the environment but uk Officials Say levels are declining. The controls we have in place is working. It is just that they take a very long time to disappear and they are probably disappearing into the sediment at the bottom of the sea, and occasionally when that sediment is stirred up it brings it back to the surface. So it will take a very long time to disappear completely. Pcbs are a global concern but with so few Killer Whales left in the uk it is a problem that is sharply felt. It is likely the rest of lulus pod is also heavily contaminated, making their future very uncertain. It is such a shame because they are beautiful animals. It is down 751. We were talking earlier with steff about the results from sainsburys. Let me give you some faq they are our second biggest supermarket and employ around 160,000 people. Over 1200 stalls. This morning it was reported an 8. 2 fall in profit to £503 million for the year to the end of march. They still make muggy but profits fall. We will speak now to the chief executive. Good morning. So why is there a fall in profits . The headline is down about 1 year on year of £581 million but we operate one of the most competitive grocery markets in the world and our job is to do a greatjob week in and week out serving our customers. We made some interesting choices during the course of the year. For instance we are quite Home Retail Group. The argos business, will allow us to adapt our business to a very changing customer environment. Obviously, you know we speak about different profit figures now because the results are a lot of numbers within your statistics. Looking at why profits have fallen and the coast pressures you have at the moment, are we going to see prices having to go up in your stores . We have done a brilliantjob, as you said, reducing the impact of the currency movements on our customers. We have worked with our suppliers and reduce our cost so we have seen and reduce our cost so we have seen a minor uptick and reduce our cost so we have seen a minoruptick in and reduce our cost so we have seen a minor uptick in inflation we have done a good job and will continue to go to good job of serving our customers and not passing on the price increases that we see coming through. Of course, more widely, we could improve the quality of the product we sell. We can adapt our business to that changing customer environment and, also, with the acquisition of the Home Retail Group we have the opportunity of growing up we have the opportunity of growing up clothing and general merchandise business. It is a Challenging Market and there is no doubting that and it has been probably always will be. You say working with suppliers. Are you squeezing them . You say working with suppliers. Are you squeezing them . No, we were closely with them and we have good relationships. There are clearly things we can do together, beat looking at the source of the products we buy, because within our supply chain, to help mitigate the coast. And, indeed, the big initiatives we ever had in the year is to reduce waste in our business and asa is to reduce waste in our business and as a result of managing our supply chain with finesse, together we can reduce waste and therefore reduce our cost and therefore mitigate any price pressures with our customers. Just looking ahead in the future, obviously you have spoken about it being a challenging environment. What difference do you think it will make to the average family who is out shopping . What will they see when prices inevitably go up . Week in, week out, as i say we do our best to make sure we mitigate any price increases and our job is to make sure we do not pass on changes to our customers. But you will eventually have to pass on some . There has been an uptick in but that is against the backdrop of prices falling by 4 in the last couple of years. Food is still cheaper than today that was a few yea rs cheaper than today that was a few years ago and who knows what will happen in the future . Is difficult to predict. Last year, like many things changed and over the next year many other things will also change. Myjob year many other things will also change. My job is year many other things will also change. Myjob is to do a brilliant job and serve our customers with great quality food and broaden the range was within our supermarkets and adapt our business to a changing environment where online is becoming an increasingly important part. Looking at your market share, it is around 16 at the moment, still well kind of go. You see a day when you will catch up with them . kind of go. You see a day when you will catch up with them . I think thatis will catch up with them . I think that is the day Long Time Coming but, of course, the acquisition of the Home Retail Group at a lot to our top line. And, actually, our market share in Business Performance has been resilient, notjust in the last year in the last five years. We have managed to maintain a market share, broadly speaking, of the time. We also have opportunity of growth in the future. We are building a very different business to adapt to a changing customer s needs.

New Research Suggests that people who take statins are reporting side effects that are not caused by the cholesterol lowering drugs. Scientists blame a psychological phenomenon where those told about the possible side effects are more likely to develop them, than those not told. The authors of the research say that some people are being put off taking the medication, potentially putting lives at risk. The patients who have had Heart Attacks or who have had strokes who are at very high risk of having another stroke or heart attack and they benefit considerably from statins and if they stop taking them or the doctors dont prescribe them because theyre worried about side effects then they remain at very, very high risk and theyre prevented from the benefits.

Let us know about what reception you get and how well it works. We will be talking about this later on. We will be talking about 5g as well. Lots of people saying in one place it works and then you go a mile down the road and then it doesnt. So well be asking why that might be happening. I cant think of north norfolk without thinking of Alan Partridge someone else saying they get 4g perfectly in newport, but they cant get wi fi answers on that. A surfer who was rescued after spending 32 hours in the sea has thanked the heroes who saved him. 22 year old, matthew bryce, you can see him being picked up on his surf board. He was picked up by a coastguard helicopter 13 mills from the argyll coast. The surf board seems to have been left after saving his life. Ajudge in San Francisco will decide later today if the taxi hailing app uber must stop developing parts of its new Self Driving Car. The company has been accused of Stealing Technology designed by google. Dave lee reports. Pulling over. Uber is, of course, no stranger to a courtroom. But its latest opponents are perhaps its most formidable so far. Waymo is a Self Driving Car firm owned by alphabet, the Parent Company of google. Waymo has accused two former employees of stealing Self Driving Technology by downloading 14,000 files related to the design of the system that helps the cars see what is around them. The two accused employees created otto, a self driving truck that was Company Bought by uber last yearfor 680 million. Now waymo wants a judge in San Francisco to put in place an injunction on uber using the disputed technology. It could men ubers new Self Driving Cars being trialled in cities around the us could be taken off the roads. At the very least, it could be a major setback for uber as it tries to be the First Company making commercial Self Driving Cars an everyday reality. However, uber denies using any of googles technology, saying the company are just trying to stifle independent innovation. You are watching breakfast. How do you feel about Driverless Cars . would like one, but i feel nervous. And you . I like driving. I can see the benefits of it. It is ten years to the day that three year old Madeleine Mccann went missing from a Holiday Apartment in the portuguese village of praia da luz. Its a case that drew attention from Around The World and cast a shadow on the algarve resort. Jon kay is there for us this morning. Good morning, jon. Good morning. It has become such a familiar sight hasnt it . This is the apartment block where Madeleine Mccann was last seen. Ten years ago tonight, her mum kate walked up from the restau ra nt her mum kate walked up from the restaurant to the block here where they were staying and discovered that her young daughter had vanished and here we are a decade later. We dont really know, nobody knows it seems, much more than that. Do we . We dont know, despite all the appeals, all the images, everything thats been written, all the money thats been written, all the money thats been written, all the money thats been spent on investigations, we dont know how she left here, we dont know who she was with, and we still dont know where she is now. Ten years. Ten years since everything changed here. A little girl vanished on a holiday with her parents. Its unbelievable that nothing, there has been nothing. Nobody has found anything. They havent found the child, they have not found anything. Jenny murat remembers it like it was yesterday. She only lives a few yards from the block where madeleine disappeared. Back then she set up a stall outside, appealing for information. She never imagined that the case would still be unsolved a decade on. This comes into my mind every day. Every single day. Everything you look at and you see all around you is. It connects somehow to the fact that a little girl disappeared. There are still so many theories. This week it has been claimed that on the Night Madeleine disappeared a mystery woman was seen outside the familys apartment. Jenny told me she saw this woman, who is now reported to be a significant part of the investigation. I noticed her and she looked as if she was trying to hide. I remember she was wearing a plum coloured top. For the first time, jenny has also told us about a car she saw that night, speeding towards the mccanns apartment, heading the wrong way down a one way street. It was one of the small cars, like a rental car, the normal everyday sort of rental car. Were you able to see the driver . I saw the driver. We just looked at each other and i think he had a very british look about him. Please give our little girl back. She repeats her plea in portuguese. Ten years of unprecedented publicity. Ten years of appeals but no answers. It has had a huge impact on my personality. Jennys son robert was to be named a suspect in the case. A decade on, his name may have been cleared but he still cannot bear to look online. Id like to know the truth, not theories. I just want to know why that was the case. It did not only lead to me being destroyed, it led to my whole family being destroyed and affected by those allegations. It was completely untrue. And you are adamant that you were not there that night . 100 . Ten years ago this was just another sleepy village. Now it is the place where madeleine disappeared. You might remember at the time that after madeleine vanished from this apartment block her family used to walk down to a Little Church in the harbour area in praia da luz to pray and seek some kind of solace. Tonight, there will be a service in that church for local people, for holiday makers, for ex pats who live here to remember madeleine, but not just to remember madeleine, theyre conscious about the bigger picture. So they want to remember madeleine and all missing children, all missing people. Studio jon, thank you very much indeed, give us an indication, you talked about it being ten years on. Is it still having an impact there, do you think . Absolutely. I mean this is a tourist resort. The economy here relies on its image and on people turning up and people do still turn up. Its quiet here this week, but you know, its still a busy tourist resort, but people here know that the shadow of this investigation, this case, still is cast over this entire resort and people, some of them are angry and frustrated by that. They wished this case was solved, they wished the whole investigation was over. They wished the police didnt turn up and dig like they did a couple of years in great numbers and they wish that the media didnt turn up and point cameras at this block. There is an a cce pta nce cameras at this block. There is an acceptance here that people want it to be solved and they know they wont be out of the spotlight until it is solved hopefully one day. Jon kay in praia da luz, thank you. Carol is whether is once again, a beautiful picture behind you. This one from our Weather Watcher in london, twickenham. A lot of cloud around in london. Compared to what is happening in wales, colwyn bay, lovely and sunny. Temperatures starting to pick up. For most of us will be mainly dry. You could replace this morning with today. There are however some showers and rain coming in on this bank of cloud across parts of the south east. Elsewhere you can see where we have some cloud, now the sun is updated starting to melt away in the north. Here is where we will see the lions share of the sunshine. In the south, we have a bit more cloud, the breeze will be picking up, the showers breaking up as we go through the course of the day. Mckelvey cloud advances over in the direction of Wales South East england. As we get to the middle of the afternoon there will still be some sunshine across North West Wales but the cloud will help out across the rest of wales. For Northern Ireland after a chilly start, the sun comes out, and it will remain with us through the course of the day, as it will yesterday. As it will through the rest of the day. As it will to scotland. For Northern England, a beautiful afternoon and morning for you as well. As we slipped down into the midlands, east anglia, essex and kent, back under this cloud, some patchy rain and a few showers. He Cloud Building as we head towards the south west. You can see the odd shower but equally there will be some brightness. Through the evening and overnight we hang into the keen breeze, all of the cloud. Some showers dotted around the stock clear skies across scotland and also Northern Ireland means that quite quickly the temperature will drop. Rather like the morning just gone. As we had on through tomorrow, we will hang on to the sunshine across much of scotland, Northern Ireland, Northern England and north wales. A bit more cloud across southern counties but with this keen breeze it will break up that cloud so we will see some brightness, but the cloud will be thick enough for the odd shower. Like today, if you are wondering down the east coast of all feel cold a few are exposed to the north easterly wind. As we move into friday, the south hanging onto the cloud again. Still quite breezy, coming from a chilly direction. Move further north and we are back in the sunny skies stop the lower temperatures will always be in the east, looking at ten to about 12. Higher temperatures as we drift further west. Particularly in the sunshine. As we move from friday to saturday, there is a Weather Front not too far away from the south west. It might not be its exact positioning, it could move away, but a lot of dry weather for much of the uk this weekend as hired pressure d rifts much of the uk this weekend as hired pressure drifts towards iceland now, the wind direction will turn to more ofa the wind direction will turn to more of a north easterly, so it will still be pretty cool. No heatwave in prospect. Weekley thank you, we will see you in half an hour. In the last hour, sainsburys has reported a fall in profits. Steph has been speaking to the boss trying to explain it. Sainsbury still making lots of money, still britains second biggest supermarket, they made Something Like £503 million in the end of march was that it is the third year ina row march was that it is the third year in a row that profits have fallen at the supermarket so, and earlier when i was talking to the was saying how much of a challenging environment it was. We work very closely with our suppliers and have very good relationships with them but there are relationships with them but there a re clearly relationships with them but there are clearly things we can do together, whether it is looking at the things we buy, to help mitigate the things we buy, to help mitigate the costs. Ourjob is to make sure we dont pass on changes. But you are going to have to pass on some command you . There has been a minor take up in inflation but that is against a backdrop where prices have falle n against a backdrop where prices have fallen in the last couple of years, so fallen in the last couple of years, so food is still substantially cheaper today than it is a couple of years ago. Who knows what will happen in the future . Very difficult to predict. In the last couple of years lots of things have changed andl years lots of things have changed and i suspect in the next year lots of other things will change. He didnt want to commit to the fact that prices might go up, but it sounds quite inevitable really, given the fact the valley of the pound has fallen and it cost is more to importand pound has fallen and it cost is more to import and also with the price of the oil as well, which put a lot of pressure on getting all those goods transported around. You will remember sainsburys bought argos about a year ago, paid £1. 4 billion, and argos has been doing pretty well for them, which has helped bolster their profit too. Interesting time in the supermarkets. Thanks, steph, see you next week. I will be back tomorrow. Do you get 4g in your house . Guess, because my hometown has the best. Top of the league. That is the big question. How reliable your smartphone connection is depends on where you live, according to the latest analysis. Middlesbrough is tough of the tree. The Consumer Group, which . , found there was a huge variation of 4g coverage and download speeds throughout uk. The report compared the 20 biggest cities. As we said, it found that middlesborough for 4g access with 83 availability. The worst at 68 was bournemouth. London was placed sixteenth on the table with 74 coverage. Research suggests users can only get a faster 4g Connection two thirds of the time. So why does coverage differ so much and what is the impact . Joining us now are technology and marketing expert dan sodergren, and hamish macleod, from mobile uk. Morning, though. Looking at those figures, how would you describe them . It is incredibly frustrating for people, they are sending m essa g es for people, they are sending messages saying they get it in one place but not another. Why . Many factors influence it, the geography of the place, the ability to acquire suitable sites and the ability to get planning permission. But i think the important thing to emphasise, this is not a static situation. In the current cycle, the operators are investing about £2 billion per annum in improving the coverage and capacity, so that by the end of 2017, a 4g signal will be available in 98 of premises from at least one operator but probably more. And there is a big jump up, in terms of speed and what people are using their phones for, between 3g and 4g. Can you give us an idea of what that jump can you give us an idea of what that jump would be . From a human standpoint, if you were running a bath with two taps, that would be 3g, bath with two taps, that would be 36, if you were running it with a taps, it would be 46. It tends to drain your battery life a bit but thatis drain your battery life a bit but that is not your guys fault. It is alleged in point that it would be 98 cove rage alleged in point that it would be 98 coverage but it is the potential for that coverage. They promised this a long time ago, about four years ago we were thinking the same kind of thing. It is not perfect. I think not only do these guys need to be putting a bit more money in. I know 2 billion sounds like a lot but we should be investing in this, it is very important, almost as important as water. It is what will be powering the next Industrial Revolution. Mobile communication is important personally, and privately for businesses. We use our phones are much more than we used to, more than we used desktops to go on the internet. For example, when me and my wife got married eight years ago, we had little picture cameras we gave out, the wind of things. Now at my brothers wedding this weekend, it will be all on Facebook Live streaming. This is a huge amount of data. 90 of the worlds data has been created in the last two years. Think about that. These guys have a hell of a job on but i think they should be doing more. The pressure is on your response to that . We absolutely acknowledge that, and we are doing more come and we need to work, as the report also highlights, more closely with government both at a National Level and at a local level, because it is very important we can get sites through the planning process, that local Development Plans acknowledge the importance of mobile coverage and have a very pro mobile stance, and that we can get access to public assets. Assets owned by the state, to build out the network. As we move from the big towers and we add capacity to the network, we are increasingly using Street Furniture like bus stops and the sides of houses, and getting access to that sort of thing will make it much simpler. Do you think you have been caught out by the speed of development . It is perfectly true in the last seven or eight years, the demand for mobile data has gone up 50 times. So we are increasing capacity, that is the response, we are increasing the geographic coverage, and upgrading from 3g the 4g, so there is a lot of work, yes, it is perfectly true. We cantjust blame these guys, they do make money as well, so it is not completely altruistic what they are doing but the government could make it top of the government could make it top of the agenda. I think they really do need to. Mobile data is important. We are 54th in the tables. Globally. I dont think that is acceptable. We may be ahead of europe, italy, france and germany, but we are not ahead of the rest of the globe and we have to really look at this. The next Industrial Revolution will be based on mobile connectivity. Internet of things, automated cars, all of these things will run on these networks and if they are creaking now because they are not putting the money in, who will put the cash in . I dont think we can be blamed as consumers, talking to me more of their product, because that is what they wanted us to do. More of their product, because that is what they wanted us to dom more of their product, because that is what they wanted us to do. It is a short amount of time, 98 by the end of 2017. Does that mean that mark in newport in wales, he says it is ready good. Joe says 4g signal is fine in the village in north norfolk you go a mile away down the road of not enough to make a call. Will that mean that sort of thing will change . It is difficult to respond to that specific question. It is a never ending task. It is like painting the forth road bridge, the history of the last ten years is that we have increased the capacity, increase the capability and the geographic coverage and that will continue. It is frustrating. Lots of people said they get 4g at one table at work and they moved to the next one. There is always a cutoff point, but deep down i have to invest more money in this. Not saying sorry, norfolk, it is unlucky. They have to put something up unlucky. They have to put something up in norfolk. Now news, travel wherever you are. Maybe you are watching on your phone on 4g somewhere. Hopefully. Good morning. Lots of good weather on the way today. Certainly beautiful yesterday. Here is a picture from scotland, from ayrshire. Clear blue skies. More clear blue skies on the way today and for most of this morning and this afternoon is looking dry with sunshine. Not dry every where are. There is a little bit of rain in the forecast for some south eastern and eastern areas of the country. It is this cloud here that seems to be affecting the south east and in fact it is here to stay for a few days so there will be contrasts across the uk. Look at the clear blue skies from wales, Northern England, northwards into scotla nd Northern England, northwards into scotland and Northern Ireland whereas in the south, we have got that thicker cloud and also some spots of rain. So here, it is going to remain cloudy through the course of the day. The coolest of the weather from norwich of the day. The coolest of the weatherfrom norwich into london and central and southern england, is 11 to 13 celsius, in Western Parts of scotla nd to 13 celsius, in Western Parts of scotland it could get up to 17 or 18 celsius. What weve got for the rest of wednesday and into thursday is a strea m of wednesday and into thursday is a stream of air of wednesday and into thursday is a stream ofaircoming of wednesday and into thursday is a stream of air coming off the north sea. So this is quite cold. Water here so that means any air thats pushed in our direction across that colder water will make things feel chilly particularly across east anglia and the south east. Here, thicker cloud and feeling on the cool side from norwich down towards the south. Further west, cool side from norwich down towards the south. Furtherwest, beautiful weather. Even in plymouth 16 celsius and a Beautiful Day on the way on wednesday in scotland. Guess what . Little change on the way for friday. As long as we have that north easterly air stream, there wont be much change on the way, but perhaps more brightness around across some of the central and southern areas come the end of the week and into the weekend, we are in between weather systems. One out in the atla ntic weather systems. One out in the atlantic and one across europe so the weather is looking fairly quiet into the weekend. Thats it from me.
