they backed bombing raids inside Syria. | :00:08. | :00:12. | |
He tells parliament it's wrong for Britain to leave it to others | :00:13. | :00:14. | |
to carry out air strikes against so-called IS. | :00:15. | :00:20. | |
We face a direct and growing threat to our country and we need to deal | :00:21. | :00:28. | |
with it, not just in Iraq, but in Syria too. | :00:29. | :00:31. | |

Hello and welcome to the BBC News at Six. | :01:21. | :01:42. | |
In the wake of the Paris terror attacks | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
David Cameron has told MPs it's time to reconsider a vote on air strikes | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
The attacks would be part of what he describes as a | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
comprehensive strategy for dealing with so called Islamic State. | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
The Prime Minister described the terror group | :02:00. | :02:01. | |
The Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, is urging caution. | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
Here's our Political Editor Laura Kuenssberg. | :02:05. | :02:14. | |
Bombs bound for Syria carried by French, not British planes, but the | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
Prime Minister wants ours to join them in the wake of the Paris | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
attacks. Statement the Prime Minister. We must ask ourselves if | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
we really are doing all we can doing, all we should be doing to | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
deal with the threat of Isil and the threat it poses to us directly? Not | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
just through the measures we are taking at home, but by dealing with | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
Isil on the ground in the territory that it controls. RAF planes are | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
already carrying out strikes over Iraq after its Government asked for | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
help. That's impossible from Syria, because there's no authority there | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
that Britain would deal with. Yet that's where so-called Islamic State | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
has its headquarters. But there is stiff opposition to our forces | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
getting more involved without a wider plan. And serious misgivings | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
from the Labour leader, although some of his MPs might be keen. It's | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
vital at a time of such tragedy and outrage not to be drawn into | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
responses which feed a cycle of violence and hatred. Can I therefore | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
welcome the Prime Minister's comments at the G20 yesterday when | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
he said, I think people want to know there is a whole plan for the future | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
of Syria. It's this horror in less than 300 miles from Westminster | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
that's given the Prime Minister new determination. The Government's | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
believed for months striking Syria was the right thing but didn't want | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
to risk losing a vote. Yet how many minds have the Paris attacks | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
changed? We want to hear from MrCameron is the strategy which he | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
promised, secondly, that he will pay the highest regard to the United | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
Nations, not as a useful addition, but as a something that's necessary | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
to justify and make legal military action. Ministers will now make the | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
argument for action more forcefully. There have been conversations at the | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
Ministry of Defence today about the likely levels of support, but the | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
Prime Minister's not committed to asking MPs to vote for action in | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
Syria. Instead, he is promising to make the argument with more passion | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
to give more detail, in the hope his belief that British planes should | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
drop bombs from Syrian skies will win the day. There are fears, | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
though, the threat to us here wouldn't be helped by more action | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
abroad. To persuade wavering MPs the Prime Minister has promised to | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
respond to concerns from a powerful Westminster committee. We need to | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
have a clear plan that is going to satisfy the political, military and | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
legal questions that is then clear that plan is and can lead to the | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
defeat of Isil. And MPs don't yet all agree. IS is a dealt cult. | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
They're opposed to everything our country stands and and our society | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
and we need to sort that situation out. I am not convinced that | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
and we need to sort that situation British bombs in for a few French | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
bombs will help the cause. Although he will only push for a vote if he | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
thinks he can win. The Prime Minister is once again putting his | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
reputation on the line. If he is right, before too long these jets | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
will have a new destination. On this most serious of subjects, | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
British military action, the political guessing game now begins. | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
Will David Cameron be able to persuade enough MPs of his arguments | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
in the next few weeks? On the current state of play the numbers | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
would be tight but it's not impossible. But the Prime Minister | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
wants more than that, he wants to be absolutely sure of a comfortable | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
majority. So even holding out the prospect of another vote does carry | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
some political risk. But it's dangerous for the Labour Party too. | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
Jeremy Corbyn is very cautious, there is a sizeable chunk of Labour | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
MPs ready to defy him. On all sides there is an understanding that | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
British military action in Syria on its own wouldn't solve this problem. | :06:01. | :06:02. | |
Thank you. In France, | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
police carried out more than a hundred raids overnight as they | :06:07. | :06:07. | |
try to hunt down all those involved They've been searching hotel rooms | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
and an apartment used Police have also found another | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
car that could be linked to them. Our Europe Editor Katya Adler is | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
in Paris. Well, what we have found so far in | :06:22. | :06:32. | |
France is although the official period of mourning is now over for | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
Friday's attacks, French people feel there is no concrete realistic plan | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
on the horizon as to how to make them feel safer. In a poll published | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
today for a French newspapers 84% of those asked said they would give up | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
personal freedoms if they could feel more secure at home. Since a lot of | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
the planning for the Paris attacks seemed to happen outside the country | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
there will have to be better cross-border co-ordination with | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
countries which does not always happen. This multinational | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
investigation now focuses mainly still on Belgium, on Syria and here | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
in France, as well. This afternoon there were some arrests in Germany | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
that were thought to have had some links with the Paris attacks and | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
this evening Austria has confirmed that France's most wanted man, that | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
missing 8th gunman from the Friday attacks, was there just a few weeks | :07:22. | :07:22. | |
ago. The hunt is on and in France it | :07:23. | :07:28. | |
feels like a race against time. With more than 100 raids across | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
the country again last night, looking for Salah Abdeslam, | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
the missing gunman from Friday These two new photos have just been | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
released Just before the attacks, | :07:42. | :07:47. | |
he's believed to have rented this Investigators have now pored over | :07:48. | :07:55. | |
every detail here, coating window panes, tabletops and even this pizza | :07:56. | :08:03. | |
delivery box in fingerprint powder. They think items here could | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
have been used to make suicide This car, found today by police, | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
is also believed to be connected to It was parked in a corner of Paris | :08:10. | :08:21. | |
popular amongst the Many here worry Friday's bloodshed | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
will lead to a backlash I am worried for my children. People | :08:25. | :08:30. | |
now look at us badly. They say it's because of us and our | :08:31. | :08:41. | |
religion that so many were murdered. Things were bad for us Muslims | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
after the Charlie Hebdo attacks These attacks were a crime, | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
nothing to do with Islam but it doesn't take much for people | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
to ostracise my community. With France on high alert, | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
the Government here has now drafted 115,000 extra soldiers | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
and police. There is huge public pressure | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
here to do something. French men and women are feeling | :09:10. | :09:11. | |
particularly vulnerable. The French President says France is | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
at war but his is a fight Islamic State abroad, | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
and home-grown extremism. He also has a struggle | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
against cynical public opinion After two terror attacks | :09:25. | :09:26. | |
in one year here in Paris he's seen as weak so he's calling | :09:27. | :09:34. | |
now on international friends to go past words of solidarity to | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
actions to help France. The US Secretary of State, | :09:38. | :09:46. | |
John Kerry, flew to meet Today they discussed plans to target | :09:47. | :09:48. | |
Islamic State, also known as Daesh. We talked about the significant | :09:49. | :09:54. | |
steps that we believe we can take together in a number of different | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
areas to increase our efforts and be more effective even against Daesh | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
and we already are doing that. And from across Europe today another | :10:04. | :10:14. | |
pledge for mourning France, EU countries will try to work | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
together more effectively to keep The Russian authorities have said a | :10:20. | :10:21. | |
bomb was responsible for causing an airliner to crash as it left Sharm | :10:22. | :10:36. | |
el-Sheikh in Egypt two weeks ago. The country's security chief says | :10:37. | :10:42. | |
traces of explosives were found President Putin has vowed to | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
"find and punish" those behind the From Moscow, | :10:46. | :10:48. | |
Steve Rosenberg sent this report. It was a disaster in the desert, | :10:49. | :10:55. | |
the Russian Airbus that crashed last month in the Sinai, | :10:56. | :10:58. | |
killing all 224 people on board. Now, Russian security chiefs have | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
concluded it was destroyed On hearing the news, | :11:04. | :11:05. | |
President Putin led his ministers The murder of our people over Sinai | :11:06. | :11:12. | |
is one of the bloodiest crimes we've We'll not dry our tears, | :11:13. | :11:22. | |
this will remain forever However, | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
this will not stop us from finding We will search wherever | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
they may be hiding. We will find them anywhere | :11:32. | :11:34. | |
on the planet and punish them. But precisely what information | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
had Moscow uncovered? Well, according to Russia's Federal | :11:40. | :11:42. | |
Security Service, investigators had examined personal items, luggage | :11:43. | :11:44. | |
and wreckage from the plane. They'd found traces of explosives, | :11:45. | :11:51. | |
adding they were of foreign origin. The conclusion, that there'd been | :11:52. | :11:58. | |
a bomb on board, the equivalent had destroyed the plane in protest | :11:59. | :12:01. | |
at Russian air strikes in Syria. Today, Moscow offered | :12:02. | :12:13. | |
a $50 million reward for information leading to the capture | :12:14. | :12:15. | |
of those behind the bombing. When it comes to Syria, there is | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
much that still divides Moscow and the West, but now that it's clear | :12:21. | :12:23. | |
that both France and Russia have become the victims of terror attacks | :12:24. | :12:26. | |
the question is - will there now be a joint approach to fighting | :12:27. | :12:32. | |
a common enemy? When Vladimir Putin visited the Command Centre | :12:33. | :12:35. | |
of Russia's war on terror this afternoon, he hinted at the need | :12:36. | :12:37. | |
for co-operation with the West. He told this Russian commander | :12:38. | :12:45. | |
in the Mediterranean to make direct contact with the French naval group | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
arriving in the area And tonight, | :12:50. | :12:51. | |
Russia says it has stepped up attacks in Syria on Islamic State | :12:52. | :13:02. | |
positions using strategic bombers. It's unclear though | :13:03. | :13:05. | |
whether it will convince America and her coalition partners that | :13:06. | :13:06. | |
Russia is now on the same side. Crowds are arriving at Wembley | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
stadium ahead of what's been described as the most heavily | :13:10. | :13:17. | |
guarded football match ever. Prince William and the Prime | :13:18. | :13:19. | |
Minister are expected to join more than 75,000 fans for the friendly | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
between France and England. For the French team it's likely to | :13:23. | :13:25. | |
be an emotional return to the game after Friday's attack | :13:26. | :13:28. | |
on their home stadium. Our Sports Editor Dan Roan | :13:29. | :13:30. | |
reports from Wembley. It may be the home of English | :13:31. | :13:44. | |
football but tonight it's French values that light up Wembley. A | :13:45. | :13:48. | |
symbol of the unity and defiance this match has come to represent. | :13:49. | :13:55. | |
Four days ago, fans were amongst those targeted in Paris. But amid | :13:56. | :13:58. | |
heightened security, more than 70,000 will be here this evening to | :13:59. | :14:05. | |
support and to remember. It will be an opportunity for us to show | :14:06. | :14:24. | |
character and through that game. And we will share this moment with all | :14:25. | :14:52. | |
the English people. France were playing Germany when suicide bombers | :14:53. | :15:12. | |
blew themselves up outside the Stade de France. The squad trained at | :15:13. | :15:15. | |
Wembley yesterday but are still coming to terms with the tragedy. | :15:16. | :15:16. | |
Lassana Diarra lost his cousin in the attacks. Pleased this evening's | :15:17. | :15:16. | |
game goes ahead. For me the most important is to be here. And just to | :15:17. | :15:17. | |
send a message that we are all together, that we | :15:18. | :15:18. | |
send a message that we are all Duke of Cambridge who signed a book | :15:19. | :15:21. | |
of condolence at the French Embassy today, will be at Wembley with the | :15:22. | :15:23. | |
Prime Minister. Security around the fixture has been significantly | :15:24. | :15:25. | |
stepped up with police taking the highly unusual decision to deploy | :15:26. | :15:28. | |
armed patrols. Fans are urged to turn up early and put traditional | :15:29. | :15:30. | |
rivalries aside for an occasion awash with emotion. English | :15:31. | :15:32. | |
supporters sing if they want, that's absolutely beautiful. Rather than | :15:33. | :15:34. | |
diswade the fans, Friday's events seem to have spurred on many more to | :15:35. | :15:41. | |
come. The ice of the world will be on Wembley here this evening -- | :15:42. | :15:45. | |
eyes, for what is a football match but which has taken on much more | :15:46. | :15:51. | |
significance. A real symbol of solidarity, of togetherness, | :15:52. | :15:54. | |
defiance and remembrance. There will be a number of tributes here this | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
evening before kick-off. There will be a minute's silence, players will | :16:00. | :16:02. | |
wear black armbands and the entire crowd will be asked to sing the | :16:03. | :16:08. | |
French national anthem before the match begins. This was initially a | :16:09. | :16:11. | |
warm-up game for the European Championships next summer with | :16:12. | :16:14. | |
England and France t may have just become the most important match of | :16:15. | :16:15. | |
the season. David Cameron says he'll make | :16:16. | :16:20. | |

Northern Ireland's power-sharing The agreement comes | :19:44. | :19:45. | |
after 10 weeks of talks between the British and Irish governments | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
and the Northern Ireland parties. The title of this agreement is a | :19:51. | :20:04. | |
fresh start. The politicians are trying to put behind them months of | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
conflict and disagreements. Much is in it. It addresses issues like | :20:09. | :20:15. | |
paramilitary activity. Stormont's finances and that issue of welfare | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
reform. However, it is between the two big parties at Stormont and | :20:20. | :20:23. | |
there will be much focused on not what has been agreed, but what | :20:24. | :20:29. | |
hasn't been agreed. Behind closed doors it seemed for months that | :20:30. | :20:33. | |
Northern Ireland's First and Deputy First Ministers were at each other's | :20:34. | :20:37. | |
throats. Today they stood side by side to announce a deal. A fresh | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
start. At the heart of this agreement is a desire to build a | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
better Northern Ireland for all our citizens. There's not a politician | :20:46. | :20:50. | |
in the Assembly that is unaware of the poor image of the Assembly and | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
the Executive out in the community. That has to change. Welfare reform | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
has been one of the big issues threatening devolution. In | :21:01. | :21:04. | |
relatively deprived areas like Strabane in County Tyrone benefits | :21:05. | :21:10. | |
matter. Sinn Fein has been blocking reforms introduced in other parts of | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
the UK. Now it will stop pushing back and allow Westminster to | :21:15. | :21:17. | |
go-ahead with the changes to benefits. Aalthough there will be | :21:18. | :21:22. | |
cash to help those affected by the cuts to welfare. There were deals | :21:23. | :21:28. | |
done and deals have been broken and deals have been changed. If | :21:29. | :21:32. | |
politicians could stick to the deal people will have more faith in them. | :21:33. | :21:40. | |
People at this Barnard owe's-run Sure Start scheme are worried this | :21:41. | :21:44. | |
deal could slip away. They are dealing with the tribal politics. | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
People on the ground, it has got to the stage where people don't care | :21:49. | :21:52. | |
about the tribal politics. People are worried about how they will feed | :21:53. | :21:57. | |
their children. ?500 million in new money, a planned cut in corporation | :21:58. | :22:03. | |
tax. It hasn't dealt with all of the discord at Stormont. That's | :22:04. | :22:05. | |
particularly true on the issue of the past. The relatives of the many | :22:06. | :22:10. | |
injured during the violence that scarred this society still want | :22:11. | :22:15. | |
recognition and answers. Today's agreement offers no answer for that | :22:16. | :22:19. | |
legacy of hurt. While the politicians are standing together, | :22:20. | :22:23. | |
it's rare now that Stormont feels anything but under threat. Chris | :22:24. | :22:25. | |
Buckler, BBC News, Stormont. The Hollywood actor, Charlie Sheen, | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
has gone on television in America Sheen said he wanted to stop what he | :22:30. | :22:32. | |
called "the barrage of attacks threatening | :22:33. | :22:38. | |
the health of so many others." He claimed it was "impossible" for | :22:39. | :22:41. | |
him to have infected anyone else. Detectives investigating | :22:42. | :22:48. | |
the disappearance of a 15-year-old girl in Leicestershire | :22:49. | :22:51. | |

after being dropped off at a college Schoolgirl Kayleigh Haywood, | :22:56. | :22:57. | |
her disappearance is described The 15-year-old left home in Measham | :22:58. | :23:06. | |
on Friday evening. She was dropped off a few miles | :23:07. | :23:16. | |
away at Ibstock Community College Kayleigh spoke to her parents | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
on the phone on Saturday morning, but there's been no contact | :23:22. | :23:26. | |
from her since. Today, | :23:27. | :23:28. | |
police trying to find her have been searching woodland less than a mile | :23:29. | :23:30. | |
from where she was last seen. A phone, which we believe belongs to | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
Kayleigh, That just causes some concern | :23:35. | :23:36. | |
because obviously it means she can't Forensic teams have also been | :23:37. | :23:45. | |
searching two properties on a housing estate | :23:46. | :23:48. | |

men, aged 27 and 28, in connection They're appealing | :23:57. | :23:59. | |
for anyone who saw the teenager over It's now four days since Kayleigh | :24:00. | :24:02. | |
was seen by her family. As night falls | :24:03. | :24:10. | |
in this Leicestershire village, police continue to search the local | :24:11. | :24:16. | |
park and say they're increasingly Now, this is the result | :24:17. | :24:18. | |
of the most extensive face 41-year-old former firefighter, | :24:19. | :24:30. | |
Patrick Hardison, suffered life-changing disfiguring | :24:31. | :24:33. | |
injuries in 2001 when In a pioneering operation surgeons | :24:34. | :24:35. | |
have replaced his face, entire scalp, ears and eyelids with the | :24:36. | :24:48. | |
face of a man who was brain-dead.Our Medical Correspondent, Fergus Walsh | :24:49. | :24:51. | |
reports. This was Patrick Hardison before the | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
fire 14 years ago which left him like this. With terrible facial | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
burns, no eyelids and needing prosthetic ears. The million dollar | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
operation took months of planning. They are, woing hard every day, | :25:06. | :25:10. | |
trying to get this transplant done. So, hopefully, it's not much longer. | :25:11. | :25:16. | |
You feel me touching you here, right? Yeah. The surgery, in August, | :25:17. | :25:22. | |
at a hospital in New York, lasted 26-hours and involved more than 100 | :25:23. | :25:29. | |
medical staff. This was the donor, David Rodebaugh, who died after a | :25:30. | :25:33. | |
cycling accident. The surgery involved removing his entire scalp, | :25:34. | :25:41. | |
face, eyelids, ears and some bones. In an ajoining operate theatre | :25:42. | :25:44. | |
Patrick Hardison's scarred face was removed and the complex transplant | :25:45. | :25:49. | |
completed. Turn that around. Take a close look at it. 10 days later the | :25:50. | :25:55. | |
moment Patrick sees his new face for the first time. Do you see how nice | :25:56. | :26:02. | |
your nose is. He will need a lifetime of medication to prevent it | :26:03. | :26:06. | |
being rejected. It's a big risk that we take. A risk that the patients | :26:07. | :26:10. | |
understand. This is not an operation that's for everyone. It's for very | :26:11. | :26:15. | |
courageous individuals, but now we have proven that that technology, | :26:16. | :26:19. | |
the ability to transplant faces has advanced. His voice will take time | :26:20. | :26:23. | |
to recover. The priority now, to see his children. | :26:24. | :26:32. | |
They'd waited three months for this reunion. Patrick Hardison's | :26:33. | :26:40. | |
appearance will continue to improve as the swelling subsides, but | :26:41. | :26:44. | |
already he says he can go shopping and be just a face in the crowd. | :26:45. | :26:49. | |
Fergus Walsh, BBC News. A storm on its way? That is right. | :26:50. | :27:06. | |
It has already hit our showers. Storm Barney was building, gusts in | :27:07. | :27:10. | |
excess of 80mph in some parts of Wales. This is the storm here, first | :27:11. | :27:16. | |
we had the rain, now the weather has improved, it has stopped raining, | :27:17. | :27:21. | |
the rain is increasing. The south of Wales nearly 80mph. Basingstoke | :27:22. | :27:25. | |
approaching 50mph. The strong winds will rattle through in the next two | :27:26. | :27:29. | |
or three hours or so. It the won't be a very long-lasting storm. It | :27:30. | :27:33. | |
will come with a punch. Let us look at these gusts. Mid evening from | :27:34. | :27:37. | |
northern parts of Wales through the Midlands towards the east as well, | :27:38. | :27:43. | |
gusts in some areas could be as high as 60mph-70mph, strong enough to | :27:44. | :27:47. | |
bring trees downed and power interuptions and disruption to late | :27:48. | :27:50. | |
evening travel. Bear that in mind if you are travelling. The strong winds | :27:51. | :27:53. | |
may not have reached you. They will come suddenly. After midnight they | :27:54. | :27:58. | |
will die down just as quick. In the early hours of Wednesday morning for | :27:59. | :28:02. | |
many of us it will be a lot, lot calmer. Temperatures first thing on | :28:03. | :28:05. | |
Wednesday around 13 in the south-west of the country. Cooler in | :28:06. | :28:09. | |
Scotland, five degrees. Tomorrow, in the north-west of the country, | :28:10. | :28:13. | |
another spell of rain and gales heading into the Northern Ireland, | :28:14. | :28:16. | |
parts of Scotland. The winds will increase across most of the UK. Not | :28:17. | :28:21. | |
as windy down south. The gales will be further north-west. 15 in London, | :28:22. | :28:25. | |
but from the second-half of the week it will start to turn cooler. Take a | :28:26. | :28:29. | |
look at Thursday. See the winds just about coming in from the north from | :28:30. | :28:33. | |
Scotland. That's a hint of things to come towards the weekend. So far | :28:34. | :28:38. | |
this November it has been incredibly mild, 15 degrees. By this weekend | :28:39. | :28:41. | |
some of us may experience temperatures of only around five | :28:42. | :28:44. | |
with night frosts and flurries in the north. Thank you thank you thank | :28:45. | :28:49. | |
