5:45 pm
out in the early hours of last friday morning. gemma germeney died at the scene. she was 31. her daughter, lilly peden, who was eight, and her son oliver, who was four, died later in hospital. a man in his thirties remains in a critical condition. the fire service says the blaze started accidentally and the most probable cause was an electric bike that was charging. obviously, an e—bike will have a lithium ion battery, normally, on the bike, the same as on an e—scooter, on hoverboards, in your mobile phones. most devices have got them in a range of different sizes, and if they get too hot, they can explode and cause a really intense fire. and i think that's what we're seeing here. family members of the three who died say they're devastated by the tragedy. the emergency services say they're aware that e—bikes and e—scooters are becoming increasingly common, but they're urging anyone who owns one to be aware of the potential dangers of batteries overheating. and the advice is don't charge them at night, but charge them in the day instead when people are more alert and able to react more quickly if something goes wrong. these shocking pictures
5:46 pm
from illingworth in west yorkshire show what can happen in extreme cases. here, an electric motorbike was left on charge inside overnight. four people were taken to hospital, but fortunately nobody received life—threatening injuries. i'm mark from the fire service. in cambridge, residents are being offered help on safety issues. e—bikes can be an environmentally—friendly way to get around, but the fire service says make sure you use the battery recommended by the manufacturer and the correct charging cables. simonjones, bbc news, cambridge. to wimbledon now where rain suspended play on the outdoor courts in a day disrupted by the weather. luckily — with the roof closed, there was some action. last year's womens champion elena rybakina made it through to the second round, while fellow brits andy murray and ryan peniston went head to head on centre court. chethan pathak has been following the action and joins us now.

5:50 pm
gladiators and more are on the way. but also the fact that once you get people in the door, you have to make them stick around, you can't design them stick around, you can't design the show that merely relies on the stage of popular in the first place. and with this, it's interesting because a lot of people have a lot of fondness for it to a managed a few very real and reflected a lot of and i collected a lot of issues with them people experiencing at the time and it's a bit of a gap in the market come if you compare the offering of what byker grove has two big traumas on streamers like netflix, they tend to go for a show thatis netflix, they tend to go for a show that is really popular in many different territories. the maximum amount of yours possible but something like byker grove or waterloo road can really talk about theissues waterloo road can really talk about the issues facing young people, particularly in the uk today and i think that is something that is
5:51 pm

5:52 pm
successes of this which is a series of interviews that were done by an individual creator that has become a huge phenomenon on the internet but pathways that people have success for themselves, pathways that people have success forthemselves, i pathways that people have success for themselves, i think they lack true representation on tv prepping stories from across the uk to give opportunity for those want to enter the industry and be a part of it and make a difference because if the tv industry is to be reflective of the whole population, the meal benefit. it is interesting in regards to the relaunch of byker grove is a basic direction of the investing notjust an talent in front of the camera but also providing schemes in the northeast at a time with the ppc and other rivals are starting to ensure that more of their programmes are beyond london in the southeast of england. another opportunity in the hope that will be able to find this generation to the next generation.

5:56 pm
hello there. quite a lot of you will have seen some fairly heavy ish rain around through tuesday afternoon. on the satellite picture, you can see a couple of bands of cloud. this one for scotland and northern ireland brought some showery conditions. this one in the south was a system that continued to develop and we saw rain become extensive across southern england, southern wales, the midlands and east anglia. this system is going to continue developing through the course of the night. and so we're looking at a band of heavy rain moving its way eastwards. the wettest weather for norfolk and suffolk where we could see around 30 or a0 millimetres of rain by the end of the night. and as that low pressure deepens, we've got a swathe of windy weather. so the east coast of england with gusts of wind running into the forties of miles an hour. by the time we get into the first part of wednesday morning. so wet and windy weather to start the day here.
5:57 pm
then this area of low pressure clears off into north west europe. well, it will be bringing some potentially disruptive winds, perhaps strong enough to bring down a few trees. for us, though, it's a day of sunshine and showers now because it's going to be quite a breezy day. if you do see a shower, it won't last very long, maybe 15 minutes the rest of your day dry with some sunshine. temperatures still a little bit below par for the time of year now at wimbledon compared with the wash—out that we had on tuesday afternoon with rain really curtailing play, we're looking at much better weather for wednesday. there could be a passing shower. it won't last very long and for most of the day, play will get under way. unaffected really could just see a 50 minute delay 01’ so low pressure. there moves in to the west of the uk for thursday and this is going to be bringing some heavy rain, particularly to western counties of northern ireland where there's a risk of seeing some localised surface water flooding, hazy spells of sunshine elsewhere across the uk. and given that we should start to see the weather turn a little bit warmer, those temperatures getting close to average for the time of year across england, wales and eastern areas
5:58 pm
of scotland for friday. still the threat of some heavy rain across the north west of the uk thanks to these wiggling weather fronts. but across more eastern areas we start to get southerly winds drawing in some much warmer weather. and for england and wales, that means temperatures will be surging upwards. and indeed, on friday, we could see highs reaching around 28 degrees celsius in london. so feeling hot and quite humid, warm weatherfor wales, 26 in cardiff and starting to warm up for the eastern side of scotland as well. the weekend more warm if not hot weather across eastern areas of the uk, but otherwise there'll be lots of showers and thunderstorms around through the second part of the weekend and deep into next week as well.
