get today is the weather we should get for the next a0 days which judging by this picture wouldn't be too bad. for most of us. however, i suspect we won't make it to the a0 day, we might not make it to four. things will change this week, its will turn wetter, much windier later in the week. you can see serious areas of cloud. waiting to make their move. not able to approach us just yet, because of this area of high pressure keep things fine and settled through the rest of today. most of us dry, there is just the small chance of the odd shower in western area, and we have got extra cloud in east anglia, the south—east into the midlands, that is likely to break up to some extent through the rest of the day. cooler for some of the eastern area, further west the temperatures for some getting up into the middle 20s. this evening and tonight it will stay largely dry, some clear spell, one or two mist and fog patches perhaps. 0ne small change, cloud and the odd splash of rain in scotland later in

1:54 pm
the duke and duchess chatting to some of the hundreds of fans who'd gathered in leicester square for the premiere. then it was time for real—life royalty to meet showbiz royalty, led by beyonce, who voices a character in the film, and her husband jay z, as well as other members of the cast and the team behind the movie. even though some of the reviews have been less than spectacular, there's still a huge amount of anticipation for the film because the original lion king is particularly loved by audiences who went to see it in such numbers it became disney's biggest film of the 20th century. everything you see exists together in a delicate balance. this time around, the story's been brought to life using computer—generated characters and backgrounds, but has kept the familiar characters from the original, including the comedic pair timon and pumbaa. let me see what we're dealing with here.
1:55 pm
it's a lion! run for your life! hey, timon! timon, wait, wait, wait! timon, wait! it's a little lion! it gets bigger. me and billy eichner, who plays timon, did all of our recording together, which was a rare opportunity, and i think you can really tell. we were able to improvise and respond to each other in real time, and i think it gives our stuff an incredibly naturalistic feel, which is awesome. run away, simba, and never return. because of the affection so many have for the story, as well as the massive box office of the original, the head of disney, currently hollywood's most successful studio, knows there's a lot riding on getting the movie just right. this is what i would call one of our crown jewels, one of the most beloved films, one of the most successful, one of the most enduring. and, yes, i think there's a lot of pressure on us, but we feel great about the movie thatjon favreau and the team made. you have lot of fans, you don't want to let them down,
1:56 pm
especially the ones who grew up watching the animated film. you have the cast, the new audience, so there's a lot to balance to get this right, but i'm happy with how hard everyone worked and the wonderful interpretations new people brought to the roles and to the songs. # it's the circle of life!# disney have had a lot of success in recent years updating animated classics, like beauty and the beast and aladdin, for the 21st century. they'll be hoping that the lion king will be maintaining that winning streak. lizo mzimba, bbc news, leicester square. now it's time for a look at the weather. good afternoon. as the folklore goes, the weather we get today is the way that we will get for the next a0 days. in shropshire, that will mean a0 more days like this. probably not too many complaints
