This is BBC World News Today, with me, Tim Willcox. | :00:09. | :00:14. | |
Political paralysis in Greece over how to deal with the country's debt | :00:14. | :00:18. | |
crisis. His this potentially the beginning of the end of the euro? | :00:18. | :00:23. | |
What we need most today is unity. We need to move on from these | :00:23. | :00:29. | |
national quarrels and get back to the sense of our common destiny. | :00:29. | :00:33. | |
The long-time deputy to Osama Bin Laden is named as Al-Qaeda's new | :00:33. | :00:38. | |
chief. He vows to continue the campaign against the West. | :00:38. | :00:44. | |
Cashing in on the booming economies. What will it mean for Europe's | :00:44. | :00:50. | |
energy supply if Russia plugs into China? | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
And how Vancouver became a riot zone after a lost game of ice | :00:54. | :01:04. | |

Welcome. With Greece in political and financial turmoil, French | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
President Nicolas Sarkozy has called on Europe to urgently reach | :01:13. | :01:18. | |
an agreement in helping Athens and preserving the stability of the | :01:18. | :01:23. | |
eurozone. Our task, he said, is to defend and safeguard the euro. | :01:23. | :01:29. | |
Without the euro, there is no Europe. In Greece itself, Prime | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
Minister George Papandreou is expected to announce a Cabinet | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
reshuffle which she hopes will help get his austerity measures through | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
Parliament. The streets of central Athens this | :01:40. | :01:46. | |
morning. Like the eurozone itself, in a bit of a mess. A new | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
government is coming and a vote of confidence in parliament. In a | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
country all but bankrupt, people are reaching the end of their | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
tether. TRANSLATION: And think the Prime | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
Minister is trying, but when it actually achieve anything? -- I | :02:01. | :02:07. | |
think. They should have taken action year ago, this woman says. | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
Yesterday more frustration erupted onto the streets again. A violent | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
protest against massive austerity measures and job losses, much of it | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
couched in nationalist terms. Many Greeks wonder whether the high | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
price of staying in the euro is still worth paying. And the rest of | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
Europe is worried. They have already given billions degrees but | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
the medicine has not worked. Now they need to raise more money to | :02:30. | :02:37. | |
keep Greece afloat. There is a sense that nobody knows what to do | :02:37. | :02:43. | |
next. A sense of paralysis. TRANSLATION: We need unity. We have | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
got to move beyond national quarrels. We have to defend a | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
single currency and a European institutions. Earlier this week, | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
finance ministers spend hours discussing how to pay for a second | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
Greig but could not agree. Germany and others want private bondholders | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
like big banks to take their share of the pain. The European Central | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
Bank and the French say imposing losses on the private sector could | :03:07. | :03:13. | |
panic the markets and make financial jitters spread. European | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
leaders on the -- meeting here next week to talk about Greece. They | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
will probably find a compromise eventually. The stakes are too high | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
for them to fail. But if the Greeks themselves no longer accept the | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
terms of the deal, the crisis will deepen, and that could affect us | :03:29. | :03:35. | |
all. Let's cross live to Athens and | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
joined our correspondent. George Papandreou is announcing a | :03:39. | :03:48. | |
reshuffle soon, we think. Will it make it less or more likely that | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
these measures will work? We're waiting to see what the | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
constitution of this new government will look like an there are many | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
serious political commentators who believe George Papandreou is having | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
trouble attracting the right calibre of people that will give | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
the Socialists the confidence to pass these austerity measures. For | :04:08. | :04:18. | |
example, one man touted as being a potential Finance Minister, who is | :04:18. | :04:24. | |
a former vice-president of the Council, is out of the country, and | :04:24. | :04:34. | |
:04:34. | :04:39. | ||
George Papandreou is hoping to have his counsel sworn in. Other members | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
of the international community will be also struck by the possible | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
appointment of a minister who does not speak English. Another minister | :04:48. | :04:58. | |
:04:58. | :04:58. | ||
who does speak fluent English has been saying the same message. | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
George Papandreou had his standing ovation from some of the socialist | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
but others sat on their hands because they were not impressed. | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
This will decide whether or not Greece will carry those austerity | :05:10. | :05:19. | |
measures forward on Sunday. Will Athens get this latest amount | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
of cash or will it have to default on its debt? We will discuss what | :05:24. | :05:31. | |
it means for the eurozone and other general issues with Megan Greene. | :05:31. | :05:41. | |
:05:41. | :05:43. | ||
Some people are describing this as a leaning moment? We might see the | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
eurozone unravel with Greece. George Papandreou has a bit of time | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
but only a little bit. Most ministers are against these | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
austerity measures and most importantly, so is the public. So | :05:54. | :06:02. | |
even if this next package is passed, the power of this government will | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
be limited and see Greece plunged into a crisis soon. The economy has | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
produced more globally compared with others, but does it have the | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
potential to unleash a huge amount of destruction? It does. It could | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
do this through general market jitters and contagion, although it | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
is largely Greek banks and pension funds that are holding Greek | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
government debt. But you also have to think, who is next? The answer | :06:30. | :06:36. | |
to that is clearly Portugal and after that Ireland. If it agrees | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
defaults, it is not clear that Ireland and Portugal would. But | :06:40. | :06:46. | |
they might think that they could go through a few more pain for years | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
or go through the same thing that Greece has done. The implications | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
on the banking system in the eurozone are huge and I think we | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
might start to see some of these peripheral countries move out of | :06:58. | :07:06. | |
the eurozone. Would it not be cheaper in the long run for the | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
banks to take a haircut and keep piling money in degrees? Absolutely. | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
It is a question of who is paying for this. Some of the core | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
countries would rather see the bridge for countries pay for it | :07:17. | :07:27. | |
:07:27. | :07:28. | ||
than their banks. Thank you. If the new leader of Al-Qaeda, Ayman Al- | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
Zawahiri, has vowed to continue the grip's holy war against the United | :07:32. | :07:42. | |
:07:42. | :07:48. | ||
States, Israel and their allies. A familiar face, now in charge of | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
Al-Qaeda. This is the most recent video of Ayman Al-Zawahiri, | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
released only last week. He has been the group's strategic driving | :07:57. | :08:02. | |
force the years, so no surprise that he has succeeded Bin Laden. | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
The videotape was in collaboration of Bin Laden but if you read | :08:06. | :08:11. | |
beneath the lines, he is saying, I am the boss now, listen to me, this | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
is my instruction and strategy. two men were close but it was Al- | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
Zawahiri to radicalised at Bin Laden in the 90s, got him to think | :08:20. | :08:26. | |
big, broad and his message and took the fight for America. The 9/11 | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
attacks were masterminded by others but they were part of Al-Zawahiri's | :08:30. | :08:35. | |
strategy to punish the West for supporting Israel. This conflict | :08:35. | :08:45. | |
:08:45. | :08:48. | ||
for him has been personal. We have tried our best to establish an | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
Islamic state and society. If here he is imprisoned after the | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
assassination of Anwar Sadat, the Egyptian President. He fled to | :08:58. | :09:05. | |
Afghanistan. He helped form their parliament. He is different from | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
Bin Laden in terms of vision, so he will focus on the Middle East and | :09:10. | :09:18. | |
already, I think, he will produce a series of five or 6 very long | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
lectures. It is all about the Middle East and how the next | :09:22. | :09:27. | |
generation, the Islamists and Al- Qaeda, will explode this | :09:27. | :09:33. | |
opportunity. He may not have much time. Ayman Al-Zawahiri has a $25 | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
million bounty on his head and US intelligence has been closing in on | :09:37. | :09:43. | |
key Al-Qaeda operatives, removing them one by one. He could well be | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
next. Al-Qaeda has suffered many deadly | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
blows in recent years, so what sort of organisation does Al-Zawahiri | :09:51. | :10:01. | |
:10:01. | :10:05. | ||
inherit? The affiliates appear to be established. Indonesia appears | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
to be seeking an Islamist state. Training camps have been | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
established in Pakistan. In Yemen, several hundred people believed to | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
be members of an affiliate are in the Arabian peninsula. All across | :10:17. | :10:22. | |
North Africa, the group has been a bold and kidnap and ransom. Let's | :10:22. | :10:30. | |
go it at Oxford studio, where we can speak to Dr Ishtiaq Ahmad, who | :10:30. | :10:37. | |
is a widely published expert on security. It is said he was | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
selected after consideration. Does that imply this was a fiercely | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
competitive election? It was at absolutely clear right from the | :10:46. | :10:52. | |
beginning when Bin Laden died that Ayman Al-Zawahiri will be the | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
likely replacement, although there had been people within the | :10:57. | :11:02. | |
organisation who have been critical of Al-Zawahiri, and obviously, | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
anybody close to the founding charismatic personalities such as | :11:06. | :11:13. | |
Bin Laden, they would be people who would be jealous of him. But I | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
think it took six weeks for the leader and successor to Bin Laden | :11:18. | :11:26. | |
to appear in Al-Qaeda and in my opinion, for now, we can only | :11:26. | :11:31. | |
speculate as to whether it will help Al-Qaeda overcome the | :11:31. | :11:39. | |
leadership crisis or it will take Al-Qaeda to awards the downward | :11:39. | :11:47. | |
slide it has been on for some time. When you look at what has been | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
happening across North Africa and the Arab Spring, they don't seem to | :11:51. | :11:59. | |
have had any presence in that at all thus far? Al-Zawahiri's credit | :11:59. | :12:05. | |
so far is that Al-Qaeda began as an organisation which was specific, | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
meaning that they wanted the withdrawal of American troops from | :12:08. | :12:14. | |
the Holy Land. And then Al-Zawahiri was the one who basically through | :12:14. | :12:20. | |
his influence on Bin Laden. He globalised his world-view and | :12:20. | :12:25. | |
brought in all of these Palestine, Kashmir macro and other world | :12:25. | :12:35. | |
:12:35. | :12:35. | ||
issues. It was a broader and Middle-Eastern specific review. | :12:35. | :12:41. | |
When the revolutions have taken place, we find that the radical | :12:41. | :12:49. | |
Islam is no way. But it might be a temporary phenomenon. There is | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
uncertainty as to which way these revolutions or emerging | :12:53. | :12:58. | |
developments in the Middle East and North Africa will go. Al-Qaeda has | :12:58. | :13:07. | |
historically tried on grievances, real or imaginary, as they emanate | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
from these transitory and uncertain times in the Muslim world. Thank | :13:11. | :13:19. | |
you. Let's have a look at the Bay's | :13:19. | :13:26. | |
other news. The radical Muslim cleric, Abu Bakar Bashir, has been | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
jailed for 15 years for organising an Islamic militant group and being | :13:30. | :13:35. | |
involved in the 2002 barley bombings. His conviction was | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
overturned. A Russian envoy says he can | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
envisage a future for Libby were -- for Libya where coal Gaddafi | :13:43. | :13:49. | |
remains in the country but power moves to the opposition. Mikhail | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
Margelov said Gaddafi had lost credibility among his people. | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
With the thousands of people already having fled northern Syria | :13:57. | :14:01. | |
into Turkey, there reports the Syrian army is now moving in on | :14:01. | :14:06. | |
another town in the north. Human rights activities said dozens of | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
tanks, personnel carriers and trucks have moved into Jisr al- | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
Shughour. In Britain, a juror who contacted a | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
defender and five Facebook, causing a trial to collapse, has been | :14:18. | :14:22. | |
jailed for eight months for contempt of court. In the first | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
case of its kind in the UK, Joanne Fraill admitted breaking the rules | :14:25. | :14:30. | |
covering trials which prevent jurors investigating cases and | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
making direct contact with defendants. | :14:34. | :14:41. | |
The BBC Trust has ordered the BBC to apologise after a programme | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
revealing that the manufacturing of clothing for Primark. He is said it | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
is more likely than not that footage of a Bangalore workshop and | :14:49. | :14:55. | |
young boys working was not genuine. A bomb has exploded outside the | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
Nigerian capital at police headquarters. It is claimed at | :14:58. | :15:04. | |
least six people were killed. Police believe a suicide bomber was | :15:04. | :15:09. | |
behind the attack. If Nigeria's police force is | :15:09. | :15:14. | |
charged with protecting the country's citizens. But as plumes | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
of dark smoke rose from the car- park of their own headquarters, it | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
was clear they had failed to even protect themselves. A blast that | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
was heard across the capital said buildings and other vehicles on | :15:27. | :15:37. | |
:15:37. | :15:38. | ||
fire. This man was on his way to work as the bomb exploded. | :15:38. | :15:43. | |
sought the blast in the air and that is when I knew it was a bomb. | :15:43. | :15:46. | |
A fee emergency services scramble to the scene and began the big task | :15:46. | :15:50. | |
of working out how many had died. The police said they believe the | :15:50. | :15:55. | |
bombing to be the work of an Islamist group. They are believed | :15:55. | :16:00. | |
to be opposed to Western education. Two years ago, hundreds of people | :16:00. | :16:05. | |
died when a security force destroyed the compound and killed | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
their leader. In the last few weeks, attacks on police stations have | :16:09. | :16:19. | |
:16:19. | :16:19. | ||
On Tuesday, the head of the Nigerian police service travel to | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
the north taking reinforcements and equipment and promising to end the | :16:24. | :16:29. | |
Boko Haram problem within a few months. This bomb explosion in | :16:29. | :16:37. | |
Abuja or may well have been their response. | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
Vancouver has been voted one of the world's best cities for five years, | :16:41. | :16:46. | |
after last night, that reputation might need reassessing all because | :16:46. | :16:51. | |
of a lost ice hockey game. Angry fans set fire in the streets. | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
According to the police force, it took a small army of offers to get | :16:55. | :17:03. | |
the chaos under control. They had come expecting to see | :17:03. | :17:11. | |
their team triumph. Instead of the Vancouver her fans | :17:11. | :17:17. | |
experienced only humiliation as Boston one at the British just a | :17:17. | :17:24. | |
Stanley Cup. He -- this prestigious the Cup. | :17:24. | :17:29. | |
Are several hours, downtown Vancouver was turned into a riot | :17:29. | :17:35. | |
zone. There were running battles between | :17:35. | :17:42. | |
some fans and the police. Others a smashed shop windows and | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
there were reports of widespread looting. | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
For those not involved in the violence, there was only | :17:50. | :17:55. | |
embarrassment. This is wrong for the city. This is not a reputation | :17:55. | :18:00. | |
we want. After the Olympics, we did so much to bring the city to where | :18:00. | :18:04. | |
it is today and this is what we do now? This is not what the City | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
wants. Fire crews were called into action | :18:09. | :18:13. | |
as the mob set light to vehicles and piles of rubbish. A plume of | :18:13. | :18:18. | |
black smoke could be seen over the Vancouver skyline. The City has | :18:18. | :18:22. | |
paid a high price for sporting defeat. | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
One of Russia's richest men is planning to invest billions of | :18:25. | :18:28. | |
dollars in a scheme to sell electricity to China. Oleg | :18:28. | :18:30. | |
Deripaska wants to build a series of hydro-electric dams in Eastern | :18:30. | :18:33. | |
Siberia and export the power southwards to cash in on Asia's | :18:33. | :18:35. | |
booming economies. Our Moscow Correspondent, Daniel Sandford, | :18:35. | :18:39. | |
travelled to Kodinsk to see one of the dams that is now almost | :18:39. | :18:48. | |
complete. Putting the finishing touches to | :18:48. | :18:54. | |
what will be one of the world's most powerful hydro-electric dams. | :18:54. | :19:00. | |
This was built in their Siberian well done us. It is due to start | :19:00. | :19:06. | |
generating next April. Producing electricity from Siberia's huge | :19:06. | :19:11. | |
water resources is back in fashion. Russia has woken up to the huge | :19:11. | :19:15. | |
market for power on its doorstep. This enormous network of hydro- | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
electric dams that is planned for eastern Siberia has the potential | :19:19. | :19:24. | |
to generate a vast amount of electricity. Where I am standing is | :19:24. | :19:29. | |
a good deal closer to China than it is to the big population centres of | :19:29. | :19:36. | |
European Russia and -- Russia. Leading the charge to turn water | :19:36. | :19:45. | |
into cash is Oleg Deripaska. How soon do you think you can be | :19:45. | :19:50. | |
shipping significant amounts of electricity to China. Five years. | :19:50. | :19:57. | |
And how much could you be shipping within five years? Up to 15 key | :19:57. | :20:07. | |
locks. I mean, 15 billion kilowatts. And the infrastructure in terms of | :20:07. | :20:13. | |
grid infrastructure. You need to reinforce the three existing points | :20:13. | :20:17. | |
and build one more bread. Russia already has an agreement | :20:17. | :20:21. | |
with China to sell up to 60 billion kilowatt hours per year within a | :20:22. | :20:27. | |
decade. More than enough to power Greece or Hong Kong. It could | :20:27. | :20:34. | |
prevent the banning of 20 million tonnes of coal each year. | :20:34. | :20:37. | |
Environmentalists say the experience from previous dams has | :20:37. | :20:45. | |
been that great river stagnate and valuable Forest are wasted. | :20:45. | :20:51. | |
They say they are building these new dams on Siberian rivers to save | :20:51. | :20:54. | |
the planet than greenhouse gases, so the question is whether we are | :20:54. | :21:04. | |
:21:04. | :21:08. | ||
ready to destroy the Siberian environment. | :21:08. | :21:12. | |
And the new power station is coming at a price. Remote Siberian towns | :21:13. | :21:20. | |
have had to be destroyed before the waters rise. | :21:20. | :21:28. | |
Former residents are already mourning their way of life. | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
TRANSLATION: The most tragic thing is the elderly people who started | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
dying within a year because they lost their village houses and their | :21:37. | :21:42. | |
neighbours. In return had been given flats with nothing but a | :21:42. | :21:48. | |
television for company. In another almost abandoned village, | :21:48. | :21:53. | |
we found another villager refusing to leave until he was paid | :21:53. | :21:59. | |
compensation. TRANSLATION: Nobody needs this | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
power plant anywhere. There are other plants on this weather that | :22:02. | :22:07. | |
work at half capacity and now it turns out this is all about exports | :22:07. | :22:13. | |
to China. At times the resources hidden in | :22:13. | :22:18. | |
Russia as well done us seem almost endless. Hydro-electric power, oil, | :22:18. | :22:26. | |
gas, coal, all there in abundance. Landscapes left almost untouched by | :22:27. | :22:36. | |

man will be swept aside in the rush for profits. | :22:40. | :22:45. | |
Let's talk to James Nixey. With this irresistible riches | :22:45. | :22:49. | |
potentially coming from China, what will this mean for Europe's power | :22:50. | :22:57. | |
suppliers. It is tricky. Russia currently directs 95% of energy to | :22:57. | :23:02. | |
Europe. That will change slowly. Russia itself is a difficult | :23:02. | :23:05. | |
partner at times and that means it theoretically threatens to go east, | :23:06. | :23:11. | |
but it cannot do that soon. Russia has a weak southern flank and the | :23:11. | :23:17. | |
Arctic north. Russia is spread thinly. Should Europe be looking 10 | :23:17. | :23:20. | |
years down the line at what is going to be a depleted power | :23:20. | :23:27. | |
supply? Very much so. Russia's own reserves are dwindling. It cannot | :23:27. | :23:37. | |
:23:37. | :23:38. | ||
access reserves in the North just yet. So, really, Europe need to be | :23:38. | :23:48. | |
looking at a Diversity of energy supply is. There is this pipeline | :23:48. | :23:51. | |
which is being discussed between Russia and China at the moment, it | :23:51. | :23:57. | |
has not been signed off, but these two countries are tricky | :23:57. | :24:01. | |
negotiators, aren't they? It will be interesting to see he backs down | :24:01. | :24:07. | |
in terms of pricing. They also not equal. China is a rising power. It | :24:07. | :24:13. | |
looks upon Russia as something of a quarry. Russia, on the other hand, | :24:13. | :24:20. | |
thinks of itself as an equal partner. So really it our | :24:21. | :24:25. | |
perceptions of Russia and China need to alter. There is only one | :24:25. | :24:29. | |
rising superpower in the world and that is China. Russia is a poor | :24:29. | :24:35. | |
player in Asia. In terms of the volume of gas, I was reading | :24:35. | :24:40. | |
somewhere that they might take the equivalent of all the gas consumed | :24:40. | :24:47. | |
by the EU by 2030. We are talking about huge quantities. China | :24:47. | :24:52. | |
requires huge quantities. The South East region requires it. It is not | :24:52. | :24:58. | |
easy for Russia to get that energy from the EU or China. The pipelines | :24:58. | :25:08. | |
have not been built yet. The lots of places have significant reserves | :25:08. | :25:18. | |
:25:18. | :25:21. | ||
in the Caspian Sea, by example. Briefly on the gas prices in China, | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
presumably that is under state control so does not reflect the | :25:25. | :25:30. | |
market price. Does that mean they are selling the gas at a loss? | :25:30. | :25:35. | |
is true. The Chinese drive a hard bargain. As far as this is | :25:35. | :25:44. | |
concerned, china is indeed playing with the cards in its favour. | :25:44. | :25:49. | |
A quick reminder of our main headline, Nicolas Sarkozy has urged | :25:49. | :25:55. | |
European leaders to reach an urgent agreement on the best way to help | :25:55. | :26:05. | |

Greece preserve the Eurozone. I'll -- Al-Qaeda has planned to | :26:07. | :26:14. | |

the second in command to a Osama Bin Laden. | :26:19. | :26:25. | |
And so news just come in from the United States, up the congressmen | :26:25. | :26:29. | |
Anthony Wheeler has just announced his resignation from Congress | :26:29. | :26:36. | |
following there has text messages that he had sent to various people, | :26:36. | :26:43. | |
various women, of himself in boxer shorts. | :26:43. | :26:53. | |

the UK. Isobars tightening up. Bright enough to start through | :27:22. | :27:26. | |
eastern areas of the UK, then slowly clouds will gather in the | :27:26. | :27:32. | |
vain band. Do easternmost areas it will be cloudy with patchy | :27:33. | :27:37. | |
outbreaks of rain. The further south you are, a spell of heavy | :27:37. | :27:43. | |
