This is BBC World News Today with me, Kirsty Lang. A brazen attack in | :00:14. | :00:19. | |
broad daylight. Taliban fighters attack the US embassy and NATO | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
headquarters in Kabul. The Turkish Prime Minister tells Arab leaders | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
that Israel is a barrier to peace in the Middle East and they must | :00:27. | :00:32. | |
pay the price. Can shine they ease Italy's pain? | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
As his borrowing costs hit a new high, Rome turns to Beijing for | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
help. Thwarted and bitter? What did | :00:40. | :00:44. | |

Hello and welcome. In the centre of Kabul under the noses of the | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
Americans and nine hours ago and number of heavily armed Taliban | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
fighters in suicide vests took over and unoccupied multi-storey | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
building and started firing rockets at the US embassy and NATO | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
headquarters. Staff inside are reported to be saved, but at least | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
seven people have been killed outside. It is thought two fighters | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
are still holed up in the building. Here is Quentin Somerville with the | :01:43. | :01:53. | |
latest. We believe that one of the suicide | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
bombers detonated his best on the 7th floor of the building and we | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
believe that one or even more attackers are on the night the | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
floor. It is nine hours since the attacks began, so you get an idea | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
of the level of resistance these attackers have been put it up today | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
despite the considerable effort of Afghan and international forces to | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
dislodge them. Running for cover from a Taliban assault, this type | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
in the heart of Kabul's embassy district. The wounded and the | :02:23. | :02:29. | |
bleeding are helped to safety. The insurgents were heavily armed in | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
one of the City's busiest streets. You can see the smoke from an | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
explosion behind and there is gunfire all over the area. This is | :02:39. | :02:46. | |
the US Embassy and ISAF headquarters. It seems like a | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
significant attack. Gunfire broke out across the neighbourhood, we | :02:51. | :02:57. | |
headed for cover. This is the aftermath of the rocket attack, a | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
school bus riddled with shrapnel. The children were in cars and | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
unharmed. The target was the US embassy. Guards took up positions | :03:06. | :03:12. | |
on the roof. The police opened fire on the attackers in a building high | :03:12. | :03:19. | |
above them. The gunfire was heavy and sustained. Helicopters were | :03:19. | :03:25. | |
called in to fire on the Taliban. This Taliban attacks started with a | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
suicide bomber at the Abdul Haq roundabout. It was followed by a | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
series of explosions and gunfire heard in the neighbourhood, it is | :03:32. | :03:38. | |
home to many embassies and aid agencies. At first it seemed I was | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
six militants had got into one of the tallest buildings about 300 | :03:41. | :03:47. | |
metres from the US embassy. From there they targeted it and the ISAF | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
headquarters. The Taliban fought on. Five hours later it is thought at | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
least one fighter is still alive in the building. Afghan security | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
forces needed foreign help. They reacted quickly, they brought their | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
helicopters in, which is the first time the Afghan a store's security | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
forces used their own helicopters for an operation like this. They | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
responded very well. It seems as if the situation is winding down at | :04:16. | :04:22. | |
the moment. The attack would likely have lasted longer without that | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
assistance. ISAF says it has the Taliban on the back foot, but to | :04:27. | :04:33. | |
people in Kabul Bhat assessment seems wildly optimistic. The focus | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
of the attack was here, but the Taliban also sent a number of other | :04:38. | :04:44. | |
attackers elsewhere in the city. One tried to make it inside the | :04:44. | :04:51. | |
airport, but he was killed before he was able to do so. | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
Let's take a look at some of the other news. In north-west Pakistan | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
gunmen have ambushed a school bus on the outskirts of Peshawar, | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
killing five children and their driver. They were travelling to a | :05:03. | :05:09. | |
village from their school. 19 people were wounded. The attack | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
happened near the volatile tribal belt where Taliban militants are | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
active. At Taliban statement claimed responsibility. | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
In Pakistan aid workers say that floods in Sindh province are the | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
worst that they have seen, even worse than last year. More than 5 | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
million people have been affected. In the city of Karachi main roads | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
are submerged, while schools and businesses are closed. More than | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
8000 families -- 800,000 families are still homeless. | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
Iran says it will release two American hikers it has been holding | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
as spies since 2009. Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal were sentenced to | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
eight years in jail last month. An Iranian judge has agreed to bail | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
them for $500,000 each and once it has been paid, they will be free to | :06:00. | :06:06. | |
lead. They said they stayed into Iran by accident. | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
The British artist Richard Hamilton, often described as the father of | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
Pop Art, has died aged 89. He produced his first collage is in | :06:15. | :06:21. | |
the early 50s. Much of his work was political, including images of | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
Northern Ireland and Tony Blair as a cowboy. | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
Italy, which has one of the biggest debt problems in Europe, has turned | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
to China for help. Italian officials have confirmed talks were | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
held in Rome last week with representatives from China's | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
sovereign well-thumbed. Italy is hoping Beijing will buy large | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
quantities of Italian bonds and invest in its companies. The lower | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
house of the Italian parliament is debating a package of austerity | :06:49. | :06:54. | |
measures. Chris Morris reports from Rome. | :06:54. | :07:00. | |
It takes a lot of bottle to save an economy and 10 million roll off the | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
production line here every year. But the sovereign debt crisis is | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
forcing Italy to face uncomfortable truths. While this family and | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
distillery lives within its means, the country does not. Will the | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
political class finally persuade Italians they mean business. They | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
Government has to give them an example, they are the first to make | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
sacrifices and the Italians will follow. You cannot ask people to | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
make sacrifices when you keep your privileges. We have a very | :07:30. | :07:37. | |
difficult moment, but I believe Italy can survive. Some things in | :07:37. | :07:42. | |
Italy never seemed to change, but looks can be deceptive. The economy | :07:42. | :07:48. | |
had been sluggish for years and the sweet life is already coming to an | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
end. Just like in Greece or Portugal, | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
but on a bigger scale, this is not about a few cuts here or there. It | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
is about changing the way the Italian economy has operated for | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
decades and that is why there has been and will continue to be so | :08:05. | :08:12. | |
much resistance to reform. This was the reaction as the Government's | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
austerity package passed through the upper house of parliament last | :08:15. | :08:20. | |
week. All sorts of entrenched interests are trying to protect | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
their own turf. Some unions complain in particular that the | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
burden of change is falling disproportionately on the poor. | :08:28. | :08:35. | |
There is nothing in terms of growth or employment, nothing in terms of | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
a recovery. At the other end it is unequal because all the burden is | :08:39. | :08:46. | |
put on the shoulders of the workers, the pensioners, the young people. | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
But the past also tells a story. Romans had been around for long | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
enough to know that things cannot always stay the same. It is not | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
just external pressure for elsewhere in Europe which is | :08:58. | :09:03. | |
forcing that conclusion. Italians usually are able to address | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
problems and solve them at the last minute. We are now at the last | :09:08. | :09:18. | |
minute. Italy in a sense is too big to fail. Nobody me really help | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
Italy for a long time, except Italians. I think some Italians, | :09:22. | :09:28. | |
most Italians, have understood that. Nestling in the hills outside Rome, | :09:28. | :09:33. | |
in this village there are preparations for the annual | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
mushroom Festival. In a makeshift tent the cleaning and cooking has | :09:37. | :09:42. | |
begun. Country Life is a long way from political scandals and | :09:42. | :09:48. | |
parliamentary boats in the capital, but nowhere is entirely immune. | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
TRANSLATION: We are less affected than people in the City, but all | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
the news we hear is worrying. It makes us feel less serene about | :09:56. | :10:02. | |
life. Out in the woods the search for mushrooms goes on. There are | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
hidden treasures in the economy as well, but austerity will bite much | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
deeper before signs of recovery. There is a big challenge, the one | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
thing that Italy needs above all, to create growth. | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
For more on this I am joined by Charles Jenkins who is with the | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
Economist magazine Intelligence Unit. Is this an act of desperation | :10:24. | :10:30. | |
by Italy? I think it is pretty desperate. It is an act of | :10:30. | :10:36. | |
desperation. But China is probably genuine in being willing to | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
consider helping Italy. I would only go so far as that. It will | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
look carefully at what it is investing in. I would be surprised | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
if there was anything at all significant in Government bonds | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
until Italy has got a much more coherent programme and the | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
Government agree on such a programme. Is that the problem at | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
the moment as a big stumbling block to Italy? The Government does not | :10:59. | :11:04. | |
seem to agree on the austerity plan. The Prime Minister keeps changing | :11:04. | :11:09. | |
or else one of the coalition partners says no to pension reform, | :11:09. | :11:14. | |
or there is a revolt by MPs. This is at a time when there is a real | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
crisis. You expect that to galvanise any normal Government | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
into doing something really serious and put it aside their small | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
differences, but in this case they do not seem to be able to do so. | :11:26. | :11:31. | |
One must wonder whether it is really possible for this present | :11:31. | :11:39. | |
problems. It is the last chance saloon. Do you think the Chinese | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
might, for instance, maybe not go into the Government bonds, but | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
invest in Italian companies? Yes, they could invest in companies | :11:49. | :11:55. | |
which have been partly privatise. That would be a better bet from | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
their point of view, because these companies are viable and reasonably | :11:58. | :12:06. | |
well run. But there is opposition from within the coalition, from the | :12:06. | :12:12. | |
Northern League. It is a sign of how the present Government is | :12:12. | :12:18. | |
failing to work together. The key members of the Government, Silvio | :12:18. | :12:23. | |
Berlusconi, the finance minister and the leader of the North League | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
used to be able to put some kind of an act together, but they do not | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
seem to be able to do so at the moment will stop they would not be | :12:30. | :12:35. | |
the first European country to turn to China. Several others have, | :12:36. | :12:41. | |
including Greece. China has an interest in seeing the European | :12:41. | :12:48. | |
economy back on its feet. Yes, it has got an interest. It has got | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
huge investments overseas and it would like to diversify from the US | :12:52. | :12:59. | |
to some extent. Therefore, it would like the euro-zone economy to be a | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
reasonably viable place in which to but invest. Whether it will prove | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
to be remains to be seen. I think China, like everyone else, will | :13:08. | :13:15. | |
look carefully before its steps. cautious investor. | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
Ordinary Americans are also continuing to suffer in the | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
downturn. New figures out today from the Census Bureau revealed | :13:23. | :13:28. | |
that nearly one in six Americans are now living in poverty. Despite | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
the sluggish recovery, average household income as it fell last | :13:32. | :13:37. | |
year by more than 2%. We can now cross live to New York and Our | :13:37. | :13:46. | |
correspondent. A very interesting figure. They certainly are very | :13:46. | :13:55. | |
worrying. Perhaps not surprisingly... I am really sorry | :13:55. | :14:01. | |
about the terrible sound quality. Let's move for now to the Turkish | :14:01. | :14:06. | |
Prime Minister. He has renewed his attack on Israel, claiming that it | :14:06. | :14:11. | |
is the main barrier to peace in the Middle East. In a speech to the | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
Arab League, Tayyip Erdogan accused Israel of behaving like a spoilt | :14:15. | :14:20. | |
child. Turkey was until recently a close friend of Israel, but the | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
speech is another sign that Turkey is repositioning itself as a | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
leading power in the region. Egypt is the first step on his tour, | :14:28. | :14:38. | |
:14:38. | :14:54. | ||
I apologise. We have been struck tonight. First losing New York and | :14:54. | :15:02. | |
now problems with that report. We will come back. Ballet dancers | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
backstage at the Paris Opera House, pulling up their stockings and | :15:06. | :15:12. | |
bending down to tie their shoes. That is what the French | :15:12. | :15:16. | |
Impressionist Edgar Degas painted. Not many people know his work was | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
influenced by new techniques in film and photography, which was | :15:19. | :15:29. | |
:15:29. | :15:32. | ||
found shocking at the time. Edgar Degas was the master of | :15:32. | :15:39. | |
movement. You can almost feel the strain and aching limbs. The | :15:39. | :15:44. | |
movements are familiar to our former ballerina, Darcey Bussell. | :15:44. | :15:54. | |
:15:54. | :15:54. | ||
But the dancers? Today, a dancer is very thin. Here, they have to be | :15:54. | :16:01. | |
soft. Their muscles were soft. They were not sinewy And strong looking. | :16:01. | :16:09. | |
If they came on the stage looking too thin, they would be booed off. | :16:09. | :16:15. | |
How did he do it? It is shown that in later life, with film and | :16:15. | :16:20. | |
photography, he could see what the eye could not see. Fleeting motions | :16:20. | :16:26. | |
were frozen. But it was something else in works such as this that | :16:26. | :16:32. | |
caused a stir. The life of a dancer in the 19th century was hard. | :16:32. | :16:38. | |
Polite society felt that this image of a dancer was... A sign of | :16:38. | :16:45. | |
depravity. She was not nourished. A girl from the gutter. She came to | :16:45. | :16:50. | |
the Paris Opera. A wealthy lover would ensure her lifestyle for the | :16:50. | :16:56. | |
rest of her career. So it captures beauty and the grim reality. A | :16:56. | :17:06. | |
lifetime of work -- freezing defeating world of dance. We can | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
return to the Turkish prime minister who has renewed an attack | :17:09. | :17:19. | |
:17:19. | :17:21. | ||
on Israel. They are calling him a leader who | :17:21. | :17:27. | |
cannot be rivalled. He is not even an Arab. But the prime minister of | :17:27. | :17:32. | |
a country that once ruled Egypt. Until a decade ago, Turkey turned | :17:32. | :17:37. | |
its back on its Arab neighbours the stock to date it is rediscovering | :17:37. | :17:42. | |
the links to the old empire. This is a memorial for Ottoman troops | :17:42. | :17:48. | |
that died in Egypt. Mr Erdogan's popularity is about today's events. | :17:48. | :17:52. | |
He was given the honour of addressing the Arab League and he | :17:52. | :18:02. | |
:18:02. | :18:02. | ||
made a tough attack on Israel and its international backers. As long | :18:02. | :18:06. | |
as the international community and United Nations tolerate Israel's | :18:06. | :18:11. | |
spoilt behaviour, they, too, of perpetrators of its crimes. That is | :18:11. | :18:16. | |
the kind of talk that has made him so admired here and elsewhere in | :18:16. | :18:21. | |
the region. His warning to Arab rulers not to ignore the will of | :18:21. | :18:24. | |
the people would have been uncomfortable listening for some | :18:24. | :18:29. | |
members. The Turkish government was among the first to back the protest | :18:29. | :18:35. | |
movement in Egypt and demand the resignation of its president. It | :18:35. | :18:40. | |
also supported the uprising in Libya after some initial hesitation. | :18:40. | :18:46. | |
It sent eight ships to evacuate the injured to Turkey for treatment. | :18:46. | :18:55. | |
And it has condemned the rulers in Syria after protests there. It has | :18:55. | :19:00. | |
offered sanctuary to Syrian refugees. He is seen as a leader | :19:00. | :19:08. | |
endorsing change, a novelty in the region. Turkey and its business | :19:08. | :19:13. | |
sector will be prime to profit once the dust from the Arab uprisings is | :19:13. | :19:19. | |
tackled. Libyan rebels fighting to overthrow | :19:20. | :19:25. | |
Colonel Gaddafi have been accused of unlawful killings and torture. | :19:25. | :19:31. | |
Amnesty International made the accusations after a report that | :19:31. | :19:41. | |
:19:41. | :19:42. | ||
undertook three months of research. A family day out in central Tripoli. | :19:42. | :19:48. | |
In a heart of the former regime, the Gaddafi compound. Today, it is | :19:48. | :19:54. | |
a place where thousands of ordinary Libyans go to witness the enormity | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
of what their revolution has achieved. There are many ways the | :19:58. | :20:03. | |
revolution could go wrong now. The detention of men suspected of | :20:03. | :20:08. | |
fighting for Colonel Gaddafi is a concern. These prisoners are being | :20:08. | :20:14. | |
taken away to and one -- an uncertain fate. Amnesty says some | :20:14. | :20:21. | |
have been tortured and killed by rebel fighters. Despite the | :20:21. | :20:25. | |
challenges they have, it is important to prioritise the | :20:25. | :20:30. | |
situation in the detention centres. People are being beaten and it | :20:30. | :20:35. | |
happened also effectively in our presence. People are at risk of | :20:35. | :20:43. | |
abuse. There is no judicial process. It is important now that a central | :20:43. | :20:48. | |
authority takes care of all detention centres. In an important | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
step in establishing an authority, the leader of the interim | :20:52. | :20:57. | |
government last night gave his first speech. Free weeks after the | :20:57. | :21:04. | |
capital fell. He appealed for unity. He said there should be no revenge | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
and people should not take matters into their own hands, otherwise, he | :21:07. | :21:15. | |
said, the revolution could falter. 18 of British detectives has | :21:15. | :21:20. | |
arrived in Kenya to investigate the murder of the British Tourist David | :21:20. | :21:25. | |
Tebbutt and the kidnap of his wife. They have expressed fears for the | :21:25. | :21:31. | |
safety of Judith Tebbutt after she was taken away in a speedboat. It | :21:31. | :21:36. | |
happened in Kiwayu Safari Village, close to the Somali border. | :21:36. | :21:46. | |
As we approached the Safari Village by boat, men in suits were leaving | :21:46. | :21:50. | |
the crime scene. British authorities indicated investigators | :21:50. | :21:55. | |
would be sent. They checked into the cottages, very different from | :21:55. | :22:00. | |
the usual type of visitor. They are here to work rather than relax. The | :22:00. | :22:06. | |
room in which they were staying has been cordoned off. David Tebbit was | :22:06. | :22:11. | |
shot dead and his wife taken away by the gunmen in a speedboat. This | :22:11. | :22:16. | |
is what the Foreign Office has said about the kidnap. Officials believe | :22:16. | :22:21. | |
the attack was planned and Western tourists deliberately targeted. It | :22:21. | :22:28. | |
is suspected that an al-Qaeda link group may have done it. In these | :22:28. | :22:31. | |
isolated communities along the Kenyan coast, there is little that | :22:31. | :22:36. | |
goes unnoticed. That could help the investigators as they tried to | :22:36. | :22:42. | |
piece together what happened on Saturday night. A Kenyan man has | :22:42. | :22:46. | |
reportedly been arrested in connection with the attack. People | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
in the village next to the resort earlier said he had been forced at | :22:50. | :22:58. | |
gunpoint to leave the gang to the tourists. This man did not want to | :22:58. | :23:01. | |
be identified and said that to carry out the raid he knew | :23:01. | :23:10. | |
Whitney's local help. They would show them the way. -- you would | :23:10. | :23:16. | |
need local help. From where Judith Tebbutt worked, there was a | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
statement that she was a dedicated worker and hope that she will be | :23:20. | :23:25. | |
released soon. There is no word of a ransom demand. Reports suggest | :23:25. | :23:30. | |
that Judith Tebbutt is profoundly deaf. That will make her ordeal | :23:30. | :23:37. | |
more challenging. Now, for the first time. We hear | :23:37. | :23:40. | |
Jacqueline Kennedy in her own words. In 1964, the former First Lady | :23:41. | :23:43. | |
recorded a series of interviews with Arthur Shlessinger, the | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
historian and former aide to her husband. But only on condition that | :23:46. | :23:49. | |
they would not be released until 50 years after her death. Her daughter | :23:49. | :23:53. | |
Caroline decided to release them now. The interviews took place four | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
months after her husband was assassinated and focused on | :23:56. | :24:04. | |
Jacqueline Kennedy's most memorable experiences in the White House. We | :24:04. | :24:14. | |

An Oral History in recordings that have not been heard before Until | :24:20. | :24:25. | |
this exclusive. It is 1964, a recently widowed first lady | :24:25. | :24:29. | |
describes her years in the White House. She recalled begging her | :24:29. | :24:36. | |
husband to let her stay with him during the Cuban missile crisis. | :24:36. | :24:41. | |
Even if there was not room in the bomb shelter, I supplies, could I | :24:41. | :24:47. | |

children do, too. She revealed her husband did not report -- support a | :24:55. | :25:02. | |
Lyndon Johnson presidency. She was fond of Lyndon Johnson. Daughter | :25:02. | :25:11. | |
Caroline compiled the recordings. can hear her voice in my mind. I | :25:11. | :25:16. | |
think it is important to realise the value as well as limitations of | :25:16. | :25:25. | |
this history. Once you start making changes, what do you do? It is not | :25:25. | :25:29. | |
my oral history. There are moments that show what life was like in the | :25:29. | :25:35. | |
White House with children. thought it was so funny for people | :25:35. | :25:45. | |

As a reminder of the main news. Taleban fighters carried out | :25:53. | :25:58. | |
attacks in the Afghan capital Kabul, including the district where | :25:58. | :26:03. | |
foreign embassies are located. Militants wearing suicide for tests | :26:03. | :26:07. | |
carried out assaults on police buildings, while others armed with | :26:07. | :26:12. | |
rocket-propelled grenades targeted the American embassy. At least four | :26:13. | :26:15. | |
policemen and two civilians were killed as well as six Taleban | :26:15. | :26:19. | |
fighters. The Turkish Prime Minister has | :26:19. | :26:24. | |
renewed his attack on Israel saying its government's mentality is the | :26:24. | :26:30. | |
main barrier to peace in the Middle East. In a speech in Cairo, he said | :26:30. | :26:35. | |
Israel behaved like a spoilt child whose irresponsible actions had | :26:35. | :26:40. | |

through the night and into tomorrow. It will be mainly dry tomorrow. It | :27:12. | :27:18. | |
is not a completely straightforward story. We have a weather front that | :27:18. | :27:22. | |
is heading south. It will bring rain through the night to northern | :27:22. | :27:28. | |
England. To the south, it should be dry. You can see this cloudy his | :27:29. | :27:35. | |
