Good evening. Welcome to the BBC News at Six. Three British tourists | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
have been killed in Egypt after the hot air balloon in which they were | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
taking a sunrise flight plunged to the ground. They were among 19 | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
passengers killed in the accident. Eyewitnesses say they there was an | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
explosion and a fire as the balloon flew over the ancient sites of | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
Luxor. Our correspondent, Aleem Maqbool, is at a local hospital in | :01:58. | :02:05. | |
the city. Out of more than 20 people on board that hot air | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
balloon, only two survived. They were the Egypt operator of the | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
balloon and a British tourist. He is said to be in a stable condition. | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
They were brought to this hospital that I'm at now. So too were the | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
bodies of 19 others who were killed. This is a tragedy that unfolded | :02:21. | :02:30. | |
just outside the outskirts of this city. In an Egyptian sugar cane | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
field the broken wreckage of the hot air balloon. Witnesses said | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
there was an explosion and the balloon crashed to the ground. | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
Ambulances were on the scene within minutes, but 19 people were killed, | :02:41. | :02:47. | |
including three tourists from the UK. Another is in hospital. | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
TRANSLATION: As the balloon crashed, the gas canister exploded. The | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
pilot was the first one to jump out of the basket. He was followed by a | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
tourist. The rest of the passengers tried to jump out, but their bodies | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
were on fire. This is how it all looked in the early morning as the | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
balloons took off. The pictures were captured by a tourist in | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
another balloon, who was close by when the accident happened. | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
heard a loud explosion and a lot of smoke right behind us. Our first | :03:17. | :03:26. | |
feeling was, it couldn't be a balloon. It turned out to be. | :03:26. | :03:34. | |
was operated by the company Sky Cruise and was carrying 120 people. | :03:34. | :03:41. | |
It was due to take in some of Egypt's most famous sites. The | :03:41. | :03:48. | |
company says a gas cylinder exploded when it was 1,000 feet in | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
the air causing it to crash into the field. The British passengers | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
were on holiday with Thomas Cook who today issued a statement. What | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
happened in Luxor this morning was a terrible tragedy and the thoughts | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
of everyone in Thomas Cook are west our guests, their family and | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
friends around we are providing our full support to the family and | :04:09. | :04:16. | |
friends of the deseized at this difficult time. -- deceased. There | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
have been concerns about safety on these rides in the past. They were | :04:19. | :04:25. | |
suspended for a time in 2009, following a string of accidents. | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
Recent passengers have also expressed concerns. Alex Gibbons | :04:29. | :04:35. | |
was on a ride in 2011 when his balloon just missed the top of a | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
high-rise hotel and crashed into the Nile. We were lucky not to have | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
been killed. It was a miracle we weren't killed. It really was that | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
close. Attention is now turning to the one tourist who survived, in | :04:47. | :04:54. | |
hospital after the crash. All hot air balloon trips around Luxor have | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
been suspended while investigators attempt to find out how this | :04:56. | :05:03. | |
tragedy happened. We have spoken to the British authorities in Egypt, | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
they are waiting for the results of that investigation, so too of | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
course will the families of those who died, including two people we | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
believe to have been from Scotland and another British tourist. There | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
will be many who want assurances that those hot air balloon trips | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
don't start again unless there are real changes in the safety | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
procedures here. Thank you very much. The police watchdog has | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
produced a highly critical report accusing officers at a specialist | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
rape unit in south London of encouraging victims to drop their | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
claims so detection rates would look better. In one case, four | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
years ago, a woman was persuaded to withdraw allegations against a man | :05:41. | :05:49. | |
who later went on to kill his son and daughter. June Kelly reports. | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
Sapphire is the name of Scotland Yard's specialist rape teams. Now, | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
it has emerged that officers in one Sapphire unit were putting pressure | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
on women to drop their complaints. Fewer rapes recorded meant police | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
detection rates looked better. In one case a man accused of rape, but | :06:06. | :06:12. | |
not properly investigated, went on to commit a double murder. Jean Say | :06:12. | :06:19. | |
killed his eight-year-old daughter, Regina and ten-year-old son Rolls | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
if the rape had been investigated he might be in jail and his | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
children might still be alived. Something acknowledged by those | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
involved in today's report. There was a shocking and disturbing | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
allegation that should have been taken seriously at the time, and it | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
wasn't. Scotland Yard said the bad practice highlighted in today's | :06:39. | :06:48. | |
report is in the past. Since 2009 rape units have been better managed. | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
Fiona feel nos attempt was made to bring her alleged attacker to | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
justice. I was absolutely devastated because not only was I | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
not going to get any justice, I also knew that the person who did | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
this to me was free to walk the streets and do it to the next woman | :07:04. | :07:10. | |
ta he met. That absolutely terrified me. He has a green light | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
to carry on attacking women. When it comes to the wider picture, the | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
latest figures for England and Wales, show that just over 4,000 | :07:18. | :07:24. | |
offences initially recorded as sex offences were later put in the "no | :07:24. | :07:33. | |
crime" category. For rape the rate was: That compares with: today, the | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
focus is back on the country's biggest force where there was this | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
message from a senior officer. have changed. We have improved. We | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
continue to improve and learn. That is why we need to work with victims | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
and victims' groups to make sure the service we provide is even | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
better. This is not the first time that Sapphire officers have been | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
found guilty of serious shortcomings. The police watchdog | :07:56. | :08:06. | |
:08:06. | :08:07. | ||
said today's report was a, "sorry chapter in Sapphire's history." | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
Senior Liberal Democrat officials have been at Scotland Yard this | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
afternoon to discuss the allegations of sexual harassment | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
against the party's former chief executive, Lord Rennard. Detectives | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
say they are working with the party to find out whether any criminal | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
activity has taken place. Lord Rennard strongly denies the | :08:24. | :08:29. | |
allegations. It comes ahead of Thursday's Eastleigh by-election. | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
Did it happen, did it not happen is being investigated. This is not | :08:34. | :08:39. | |
the easest time to be a Liberal Democrat, not least here in | :08:39. | :08:45. | |
Eastleigh, there is a by-election in two-days' time. Did your leader | :08:45. | :08:51. | |
know, yes or no? One minute he did, the next minute he didn't? It's | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
being investigated. This former police officer was unimpressed with | :08:54. | :09:00. | |
the party line. Back in London, at Scotland Yard, Metropolitan Police | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
officers met with Lib Dem party officials to discuss whether or not | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
there is evidence of any crime having been committed. Lord Rennard, | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
the man who used to mastermind Lib Dem by-election victories, | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
continues to insist that he's done nothing wrong. One of his accusers, | :09:16. | :09:23. | |
who wanted to become an MP, is now ready to talk to the police. For a | :09:23. | :09:33. | |
start, it's going beyond the pat on a knee who decides whoo is an | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
acceptable and not an acceptable advance. The power dynamics in | :09:37. | :09:46. | |
these situations are scary. Another woman complains of unwanted sex -- | :09:46. | :09:53. | |
sexual advances. Susan spoke to BBC Radio on condition of anonymity. | :09:53. | :09:58. | |
This is a man with an almighty amount of power, at the time he | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
held the purse strings for any winnable seat. So, this was a man | :10:02. | :10:08. | |
who could control your future and if he said, "I'm not too sure about | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
this candidate", people listened to him. People still listen to him. | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
The party's big beasts have been sent to Eastleigh, not just to | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
defend a seat the party is desperate to hold, but to defend | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
its reputation. Did I hear anything about Chris Rennard? Not a thing. | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
Not a thing. There are serious allegations. There are serious | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
questions to be answered. They will be answered by the inquiry. You | :10:32. | :10:37. | |
will ask me, so will everybody else, lots and lots of questions, I'm not | :10:37. | :10:43. | |
able to answer them. The right people to answer them are the three | :10:43. | :10:48. | |
inquiries. This story leaves people pretty unmoved. I haven't got an | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
interest. I'm not concerned. not very happy about the scandals | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
and the competitions amongst them all. It's almost as if they are | :10:56. | :11:02. | |
looking for scandals. Which leaves their opponents even the loony ones | :11:02. | :11:12. | |
:11:12. | :11:13. | ||
unable to quite believe what is going on. Here is a full list of | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
all the candidates contesting the BBC by-election, it is on the BBC | :11:19. | :11:26. | |
website at bbc.co.uk/news. It's emerged at the re--trial of Vicky | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
Pryce, who is accused of taking speeding points for her former | :11:30. | :11:36. | |
husband, Chris Huhne, that a part- time judge is being questioned. | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
Police accuse Constance Briscoe of lying about her role in leaking the | :11:39. | :11:47. | |
story of the speeding offence to the press. Ms Pryce admits taking | :11:47. | :11:53. | |
the former Lib Dem Cabinet Minister's points a decade ago. She | :11:53. | :12:00. | |
says he forced her to do it. What more can you tell us about this? | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
Constance Briscoe is a barrister and also a part-time judge. We knew | :12:03. | :12:09. | |
she had been arrested and suspended. Today, what we can reveal for the | :12:09. | :12:17. | |
first time, that is in relation to this case. The court heard that | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
Miss Briscoe helped Vicky Pryce talk to journalists at the Mail on | :12:21. | :12:26. | |
Sunday about the fact she had taken speeding points for her former | :12:26. | :12:32. | |
husband, Chris Huhne, the court heard, in a statement from police, | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
that Miss Briscoe is being investigated for lying to police | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
about this. Police said she told them she had not had contact with | :12:41. | :12:43. | |
the media. As a result she would not appear here as a witness | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
because she could not be trusted as a witness of truth. Thank you very | :12:47. | :12:53. | |
much. Kevin Hutchinson-Foster hutch, the man who supplied a gun to Mark | :12:53. | :12:59. | |
Duggan, minutes before he was shot by police, has been sentenced to 11 | :12:59. | :13:04. | |
years in prison at the Old Bailey. The shooting sparked the 2011 riots | :13:04. | :13:08. | |

election are in and they signal another bout of political | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
instability and uncertainty for the eurozone. A populist anti- | :13:45. | :13:48. | |
establishment movement, led by a former comedian, got more votes | :13:48. | :13:52. | |
than any other single party, but so far it refuses to pack in | :13:52. | :13:56. | |
negotiations to form a coalition government. That leaves parties on | :13:56. | :14:02. | |
the left and right trying to reach an agreement. Meetings were held at | :14:02. | :14:05. | |
the Italian's Prime Minister's officer today after the election | :14:05. | :14:13. | |
ended in deadlock. The markets took fright as the prospect of political | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
instability. It became apparent that neither the centre left or | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
centre-right could form a stable government. It was 24-hours after | :14:20. | :14:26. | |
the polls closed that the leader of the centre left, Pier Luigi Bersani, | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
announced Italy faced a dramatic situation. | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
TRANSLATION: The problem was the remedy we came up with for the | :14:34. | :14:39. | |
financial crisis. It was based just on austerity and rigour and had a | :14:39. | :14:44. | |
deep impact on public opinion. for Silvio Berlusconi, he said | :14:44. | :14:49. | |
Italy cannot be ungoverned and we have to reflect. All these tin inn | :14:49. | :14:52. | |

Grillo, the comedian who wants to tear up Italy's political system. | :14:56. | :15:01. | |
Today, he was dismissive of the main parties., "we are in a period | :15:01. | :15:06. | |
of epic change, cultural, political and economic. It's not about making | :15:06. | :15:16. | |
alliances, that's over." Not surprisingly, some papers declared | :15:16. | :15:20. | |
Italy ungovernable. There is a big void. The system has fallen. | :15:20. | :15:25. | |

long tradition of making Ministry of Defence medals, back to the days | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
of the Battle of Waterloo. It's a great honour that the Royal Mint | :17:58. | :18:02. | |

it and many of us have died, particularly recently and one | :19:01. | :19:06. | |
friend, in fact, one good good shipmate died a week ago, which is | :19:06. | :19:09. | |

the Pope resigns - has taken the church into uncharted territory. | :20:02. | :20:04. | |
Cardinal O'Brien stepped down after allegations that he behaved | :20:04. | :20:06. | |
inappropriately towards priests under his care during the 1980s - | :20:06. | :20:11. | |
allegations he denies. Our religious affairs correspondent | :20:11. | :20:19. | |
Robert Pigott reports. With Cardinal O'Brien gone and a | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
care caretaker yet to be named the Church remains in turmoil. The | :20:24. | :20:26. | |
Cardinal stayed out of sight again today, said by one senior Catholic | :20:26. | :20:30. | |
to be very upset and like a vulnerable adult. | :20:30. | :20:34. | |
Meanwhile, others have been assessing what's been described as | :20:34. | :20:38. | |
the worst crisis to strike the Church since the reformation. | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
been a tremendous catastrophe for the Church in Scotland. In terms of | :20:42. | :20:47. | |
a public event, probably the most significant serious development | :20:47. | :20:52. | |
since the reformation, never before has a person of this rank been | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
accused in this way. A senior Church official acknowledged that | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
might well turn out to be true. But he insisted ordinary Catholics | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
looked more to God than their Bishops. I would distinguish | :21:03. | :21:08. | |
between the faith which will be in tact and people will be calling on | :21:08. | :21:12. | |
that faith, and their sense of external confusion, which is | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
probably inevitable at this time. Sources inside the Church said | :21:15. | :21:20. | |
today that Cardinal O'Brien remains unaware of who his accusers are and | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
exactly what they claim he did. But another senior Catholic | :21:24. | :21:27. | |
acknowledged that even as they stand the allegations are deeply | :21:27. | :21:33. | |
damaging. Cardinal O'Brien, who is a very honest man, will also - | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
whoever goes in, will look at the allegations that have been made and | :21:37. | :21:41. | |
he himself, as I have said, has contested them, so I think we have | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
to leave it like that. Potentially the greatest lasting effect of the | :21:45. | :21:50. | |
crisis could be changes in the way the Church is run. Some senior | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
Catholics want fundamental reform. A leaner, more business-like | :21:54. | :22:00. | |
structure, fewer Bishops and less hire arcal approach. This confusing | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
time for Catholics could turn out to be their big opportunity. | :22:04. | :22:10. | |
For the Roman Catholic Church's one billion members, the upset in | :22:10. | :22:14. | |
Edinburgh may turn out to be just a ripple but for this small, intimate | :22:14. | :22:22. | |
branch of the Church it's a devastating episode. | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
Hundreds of thousands of people in the UK are unwittingly laundering | :22:25. | :22:27. | |
money for criminals, according to fraud experts. They're being | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
recruited as so-called money mules - allowing their bank accounts to | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
be used to disguise the proceeds of crime, all for a cut of the cash. | :22:34. | :22:40. | |
Our personal finance correspondent Simon Gompertz explains. | :22:40. | :22:43. | |
They're innocent sounding admin jobs but they're a front for | :22:44. | :22:47. | |
something sinister. The pay's tempting, suspiciously though, they | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
need access to your bank account. In fact, it's fraudsters wanting to | :22:51. | :22:56. | |
use your account to launder cash from crime, making you their money | :22:56. | :23:01. | |
mule. It was saying it was an entry level job, I didn't need much | :23:01. | :23:05. | |
experience. They're targeting students like Leanne at Bournemouth | :23:05. | :23:08. | |
University because a 5th of students who get the offers usually | :23:08. | :23:13. | |
by e-mail agree to become money mules. Leanne was fooled into | :23:13. | :23:17. | |
thinking it was a proper job but her mother warned her off. They | :23:17. | :23:22. | |
were offering just over �1,000 per month. It was so tempting because | :23:22. | :23:26. | |
as a student you are not earning money, and if you are, you are | :23:26. | :23:31. | |
probably only doing bar work which doesn't give much income and | :23:31. | :23:36. | |
everyone wants extra cash. Dirty money from credit card fraud and | :23:36. | :23:40. | |
other rip-offs is paid into the account to disguise its criminal | :23:40. | :23:44. | |
origins, the mule takes a cut and transfers the cash to an overseas | :23:44. | :23:49. | |
bank. It's classic money laundering and it's illegal. It's a risk, in | :23:49. | :23:52. | |
fact, you are taking almost all the risks on behalf of the criminals, | :23:52. | :23:57. | |
that's why they tried so hard to get people to do this for them, | :23:57. | :24:02. | |
they're most likely to be caught. Criminals hone in on the unemployed, | :24:02. | :24:07. | |
as well, like Kayleigh. They found her after she sent her CV to a jobs | :24:07. | :24:14. | |
website. She even signed a contract, and then, luckily, pulled out. | :24:14. | :24:19. | |
makes you feel sick. I feel I have to go to these sites and take my CV | :24:19. | :24:23. | |
off, I don't want to be caught in it again. These students are being | :24:23. | :24:29. | |
told that mules risk having their bank accounts frozen, or even a | :24:29. | :24:32. | |
prison sentence. There's such concern about the danger of | :24:32. | :24:36. | |
becoming money mules that Crimestoppers is warning students | :24:36. | :24:42. | |
up and down the country not to be duped into becoming involved. The | :24:42. | :24:47. | |
internet's made it easier for criminals to recruit. Fraud experts | :24:47. | :24:51. | |
say there are already hundreds of thousands of money mules and the | :24:51. | :24:59. | |
numbers are growing. The story of two missionaries sent | :24:59. | :25:02. | |
to a remote village in Uganda to spread the word may not be | :25:03. | :25:05. | |
traditional territory for a West End musical, but The Book of Mormon | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
- a satire written by the creators of South Park - comes to London | :25:09. | :25:11. | |
after an award-winning spell on Broadway. Our arts editor Will | :25:12. | :25:14. | |
Gompertz has been finding out what the secret of its success is. | :25:15. | :25:19. | |
Already the hottest ticket on Broadway, The Book of phorpl has | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
open -- Mormon has opened in London. If the near �8 million already | :25:23. | :25:31. | |
spent on advanced ticket sales is a sign, to its future success, then | :25:31. | :25:35. | |
you can expect this mission from America to be around for a long | :25:35. | :25:39. | |
time. The show is the creation of Matt | :25:39. | :25:48. | |
Stone and Trey Parker, the team behind South Park. Why the Mormons? | :25:48. | :25:53. | |
They make for great musical characters, because the | :25:53. | :26:02. | |
stereotypical Mormon has a a happy- go-lucky, about to bounce into song. | :26:02. | :26:05. | |
They're nice and easy target, there's something not as brave | :26:05. | :26:11. | |
about that, as going after another subject. There is an offensive | :26:11. | :26:14. | |
implication that question even makes about Islam, Muslims, | :26:14. | :26:20. | |
Catholics, anybody else, but also it's not just what we wanted to do. | :26:20. | :26:24. | |
Mormons in the UK appear to be taking a positive approach to the | :26:24. | :26:28. | |
musical. They've placed three full page advertisements in the show's | :26:28. | :26:32. | |
programme. Our only hope is that people will not base their | :26:32. | :26:36. | |
understanding and perception of our Church and our people and our | :26:36. | :26:41. | |
practices on a piece of entertainment, but that if they | :26:41. | :26:47. | |
want to learn more they'll come and they'll speak to missionaries. | :26:47. | :26:51. | |
Book of Mormons reputation is based around its crude humour, of which | :26:51. | :26:54. | |
there is plenty. Having seen the show I suspect at least part of the | :26:54. | :26:58. | |
success is down to its rather conservative nature. Strip away all | :26:58. | :27:02. | |
the vulgarities and what you are left with is a feel-good musical | :27:02. | :27:09. | |
with plenty of catchy show tunes. # I believe that the Lord God | :27:09. | :27:13. | |
created the universe #... Not all shows survive an | :27:13. | :27:20. | |
Atlantic crossing but judging from the audience's reaction The Book of | :27:20. | :27:24. | |
phorpl has arrived -- Mormon has arrived in rude health. | :27:24. | :27:32. | |
You can see the full story on The Mormons Are Here, a Culture Show | :27:32. | :27:41. | |
special tomorrow night at 10.00pm. A day of huge differences today. | :27:41. | :27:46. | |
Spring has sprung in Scotland. 13C in the Highlands, could be close to | :27:46. | :27:49. | |
a record that but temperatures are falling sharply now and could get | :27:49. | :27:54. | |
as low as minus 7 tonight. A frost developing in Northern Ireland, and | :27:54. | :27:57. | |
possibly the far north of England, as well. Temperatures will change | :27:57. | :28:01. | |
very little across the bulk of England and Wales because we have | :28:01. | :28:05. | |
this blanket of cloud again. That cloud will be spilling up into | :28:05. | :28:15. | |
:28:15. | :28:16. | ||
Northern Ireland towards the end of the night. A frosty start in | :28:16. | :28:20. | |
Scotland. Freezing fog will take a while to clear. A cold start across | :28:20. | :28:24. | |
Cumbria, but across the rest of England and Wales temperatures will | :28:24. | :28:28. | |
be nearer two or three, because of all the cloud. Low cloud, so could | :28:28. | :28:32. | |
be misty over the hills and a few spots of light drizzle here and | :28:32. | :28:36. | |
there and winds will be light, as well. Two main themes to the | :28:36. | :28:39. | |
weather tomorrow. The first is that for England and Wales it will be | :28:39. | :28:43. | |
much drier than today. The brighter, sunnier weather in the north will | :28:43. | :28:48. | |
start to push south. A sunny start in Scotland, frosty start, as well. | :28:48. | :28:52. | |
We see the sunshine developing across parts of northern England. | :28:52. | :28:57. | |
Then brightening up in North Wales through the Midlands and East | :28:57. | :29:00. | |
Anglia. Southern Counties of England likely to stay cloudy and | :29:00. | :29:03. | |
across Northern Ireland cloudier than today, probably feeling cold, | :29:03. | :29:09. | |
too. In Scotland, it won't be as coal | :29:09. | :29:12. | |
tomorrow night but it will be colder for England and Wales with | :29:12. | :29:16. | |
much thinner cloud and mist and fog, too. That will lift on Thursday. A | :29:16. | :29:19. | |
bright day for England and Wales with sunshine, as well. But | :29:19. | :29:22. | |
probably more cloud for Northern Ireland and certainly much more | :29:22. | :29:26. |
