This is BBC World News Today with me, Philippa Thomas. Is this the

:00:10.:00:14.

start of President Obama's campaign for re-election? He's making the

:00:14.:00:17.

case for raising taxes on the rich, saying it's time for America's

:00:17.:00:22.

wealthiest to pay more of the nation's bills. It is wrong that in

:00:22.:00:25.

the United States of America a teacher or a nurse or a

:00:25.:00:28.

construction worker who earns $50,000 should pay higher tax rates

:00:28.:00:38.
:00:38.:00:38.

than somebody pulling in $50 million. Violent confrontations in

:00:38.:00:41.

Yemen - the death toll mounts during a two-day crackdown on the

:00:41.:00:44.

streets of Sanaa. Reflecting on a tough year of coalition government

:00:44.:00:47.

- we'll be live at the Liberal Democrat party conference in

:00:47.:00:56.

Birmingham. And the conjoined sisters who have

:00:56.:01:00.

overcome the odds to survive after being separated by surgeons in

:01:00.:01:10.
:01:10.:01:14.

Hello and welcome. The gloves are off in Barack Obama's fight for re-

:01:14.:01:18.

election. We heard his new rhetoric for the first time today but we

:01:19.:01:22.

will hear it again and again over the year to come. The president

:01:22.:01:26.

says he wants to tax the rich, or as he put it at the White House

:01:26.:01:29.

this afternoon, he will veto any "one sided deal" that puts all the

:01:29.:01:32.

burden for reducing the US deficit on the shoulders of ordinary

:01:32.:01:36.

Americans. So we could call this the first airing for Mr Obama's

:01:36.:01:39.

campaign "stump speech", his pitch to voters to share his sense of

:01:39.:01:49.
:01:49.:01:51.

urgency. During the past decade, profligate spending in Washington,

:01:51.:01:56.

tax cuts for multi-millionaires, the cost of two wars, and the

:01:56.:02:03.

recession, turned a surplus into a yawning deficit. But left us with a

:02:03.:02:08.

pile of I in use. If we do not act, the burden will fall on our

:02:08.:02:12.

children's shoulders. The last few months in Washington have been

:02:12.:02:14.

dominated by the conservative focus on cutting spending to pay down

:02:14.:02:18.

America's debt. Today, the president called for what he terms

:02:18.:02:20.

a "balanced plan", where for every two dollars cut from Washington

:02:20.:02:24.

spending, another dollar will be raised in new revenue. To sell his

:02:25.:02:33.

plan, Mr Obama swung into populist mode. Middle-class families should

:02:33.:02:38.

not pay higher taxes than millionaires and billionaires. That

:02:38.:02:45.

is straightforward. It is hard to argue against that. Warren

:02:45.:02:50.

Buffett's Secretary should not pay it more tax than Warren Buffett.

:02:50.:02:56.

There is no justification for it. It is wrong that in the U S A eight

:02:56.:03:01.

teacher or nurse or construction worker who earns $50,000 should pay

:03:01.:03:09.

a higher tax rates than somebody pulling in $50 million. Anybody who

:03:09.:03:15.

says we cannot change the tax code to correct that, anyone who has

:03:15.:03:20.

signed a pledge to protect every tax as long as they live, they

:03:20.:03:26.

should be called out. They should defend that unfairness. President

:03:26.:03:29.

Obama went on to insist that he wasn't indulging in class warfare,

:03:29.:03:34.

but he certainly seemed to be adopting a newly populist tone.

:03:34.:03:36.

We'll hear analysis in a minute from political commentator Robert

:03:36.:03:38.

Traynham, who's served on a number of Republican presidential

:03:38.:03:41.

campaigns, but first let's ask the BBC's own Adam Brookes in

:03:41.:03:50.

Washington how this speech has gone down. Adam, what's the initial

:03:50.:03:59.

reaction? On the face lit, President Obama was in professorial

:03:59.:04:04.

moat. It was a disquisition on the tax code. Under Lerwick --

:04:04.:04:12.

underline it, was par for election season politics. It was a challenge

:04:12.:04:19.

to the Republicans, an attack on, strong criticism, of senior members

:04:19.:04:23.

of the Republican majority in the House of Representatives by name.

:04:23.:04:29.

And it was a challenge to the Republican Party. It was when the

:04:29.:04:35.

President said he will veto any plant that comes out of the House

:04:35.:04:39.

of Representatives which cuts welfare and entitlement payments,

:04:39.:04:44.

payments to the elderly and the poor, unless there are tax rises in

:04:44.:04:50.

there too. The Republicans made it very clear they will not accept any

:04:50.:04:54.

tax rises. We are seeing the battle lines getting drawn and the

:04:54.:04:59.

President coming out of his corner swinging in a way it many of his

:04:59.:05:05.

supporters have been waiting for him to do. How much is he trying to

:05:05.:05:07.

re-energised the base that sometimes says he forgot where he

:05:07.:05:16.

came from? I felt I could almost see congealing before my eyes, the

:05:16.:05:23.

principal themes of the Democratic campaign. It will be about fairness,

:05:23.:05:29.

energising Democrats to make sure the bankers who have huge bonuses

:05:29.:05:35.

on Wall Street pay their fair share, about using government stimulus and

:05:35.:05:40.

tools to create jobs and it is trying to get the disaffected,

:05:40.:05:45.

recession battered democratic base at the political centre to rally

:05:45.:05:54.

behind President Obama, a more centrist frame of mind. Let's bring

:05:54.:05:59.

in our political commentator. You are a veteran of Capitol Hill and

:05:59.:06:04.

campaigns. What would you advise your politicians to say in answer

:06:04.:06:09.

to this if you were advising the Republicans?

:06:09.:06:15.

This is an interesting contrast in argument between the haves and

:06:15.:06:20.

have-nots and also at the Republicans would say what you're

:06:20.:06:24.

doing is penalising the people living the American Dream,

:06:24.:06:33.

penalising the folks climbing up the economic ladder. I would think

:06:33.:06:36.

Republicans would say first and foremost we are for tax reform,

:06:36.:06:41.

levelling the playing field, for making sure the tax code is fair

:06:41.:06:46.

but we need to understand this really is about class warfare and

:06:46.:06:49.

you are trying to penalise those more fortunate than those that are

:06:49.:06:54.

not. Do you think there will be worried in Conservative ranks this

:06:54.:06:58.

is quite a powerful appeal to the American public?

:06:58.:07:01.

Well, what's more worrying to any politician running for re-election

:07:01.:07:07.

is we have 9.1 unemployment. What is more worrying is there is no

:07:07.:07:12.

short-term solution to the millions that are unemployed in America.

:07:12.:07:17.

That is the number one concern so the question becomes hard to fix

:07:17.:07:23.

the immediate problems, overhauling the tax code, although important,

:07:23.:07:28.

that will not bring the unemployment rate down. Final

:07:28.:07:34.

question to you, it struck me the famous campaign slogan about taxes

:07:34.:07:39.

was read my lips, no new taxes. He paid the price when he changed his

:07:39.:07:45.

mind. It is quite brave saying read my lips, more new taxes. It depends

:07:45.:07:51.

who you ask. If you ask the president, that is what he wants.

:07:51.:07:57.

He wants to draw this contrast that I am willing to come up with new

:07:57.:08:01.

programmes and a vision but it will cost something and if you look at

:08:01.:08:05.

the presidential battle grounds in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Florida

:08:05.:08:11.

and Ohio, it is a pretty resonating argument. If I am a democrat rave

:08:12.:08:17.

re-election, it is not a bad argument to run on.

:08:17.:08:20.

Thank you. Escalating violence in Yemen has left at least 50 people

:08:20.:08:23.

dead over the past two days. The government cracked down on

:08:23.:08:26.

demonstrations in Sana'a, but now the protests have spread outside

:08:26.:08:30.

the capital. Anger has been directed at President Ali Abdullah

:08:30.:08:33.

Saleh who has in Saudi Arabia since June recovering from an

:08:33.:08:42.

assassination attempt. Mike Wooldridge reports.

:08:42.:08:47.

A second day of deadly violence in the Yemeni capital. The battles

:08:47.:08:55.

bringing to an end what was a political stalemate lasting months.

:08:55.:08:59.

The protesters have been trying to extend the area where they have

:08:59.:09:04.

been encamped in their thousands demanding the Yemeni ruler leave

:09:04.:09:13.

office for good. In this new confrontation between the

:09:13.:09:17.

demonstrators and security forces, many more casualties today hastily

:09:17.:09:26.

removed to hospitals and makeshift clinics. It has forced Yemen and a

:09:26.:09:31.

greater escalation back into the international arena. We call on the

:09:31.:09:35.

government to end attacks against civilians and civilian targets in

:09:35.:09:38.

full compliance with the obligations under international

:09:38.:09:44.

human rights law. The government will investigate and hold

:09:44.:09:48.

accountable those responsible for these acts. It's unfortunate those

:09:48.:09:52.

events occurred at a time while some solutions for the crisis were

:09:52.:10:00.

appearing. President Saleh a left for treatment in Saudi Arabia after

:10:00.:10:05.

wounded -- been wounded. He told his vice-president to discuss a

:10:05.:10:08.

deal under which he would step down in return for immunity from

:10:08.:10:13.

prosecution. But the President has backed away three-times from

:10:13.:10:22.

signing deals to transfer power. It is not just Sanaa seeing an upsurge.

:10:22.:10:26.

This is Taiz. More evidence of the pressure on the government and

:10:26.:10:36.

mediators. UN and Gulf envoys have arrived to try to find a solution.

:10:36.:10:43.

Opposition leaders say protests will continue. Joining me from

:10:43.:10:51.

Birmingham is Abdulalem Alshamery. What a you hearing from the streets

:10:51.:10:55.

about the tactics the security forces are using -- what are you

:10:55.:11:03.

hearing? The tactics at the moment, I call it genocide against humanity.

:11:03.:11:10.

It is led by the Sun and cousins. Since yesterday, more than 50

:11:10.:11:16.

people were killed and hundreds wounded. I do not know what an

:11:16.:11:20.

international community is waiting for. They have the right to step in

:11:20.:11:25.

further and stock what he's doing. We are seeing the international

:11:25.:11:29.

community stepping back and watching what is happening. King

:11:29.:11:37.

Abdullah, the Saudi king, received the President of the Yemen and

:11:37.:11:40.

thanking him for the support he has given to the regime. I don't know

:11:40.:11:50.

what will happen in the near future, as I speak now the death toll is

:11:50.:11:58.

increasing. We have not seen any thing in the Arab League. We are

:11:58.:12:05.

hearing reports of UN and Gulf envoys travelling to Sanaa to

:12:05.:12:10.

negotiate with the President to step down. For the last nine months

:12:10.:12:17.

now, the GCC has been sending representatives but the agreements

:12:17.:12:27.
:12:27.:12:28.

and initiatives and offers by the GCC and worldwide given to sell a,

:12:28.:12:33.

he is not signed any agreement. Why are they not doing like they did

:12:33.:12:39.

with the Syrians and the Libyans and Egyptians? Why do we have to

:12:39.:12:45.

suffer, the death toll is still increasing. We have seen no action

:12:45.:12:55.
:12:55.:12:55.

from the UN. Yemen have received the head of the GCC and the UN in

:12:55.:12:59.

Sanaa and they say they want to revive the initiative. What sort of

:12:59.:13:06.

initiatives? Let's look at the pressures within because we could

:13:06.:13:11.

look at how the military is still supporting the present, is that a

:13:11.:13:15.

united force or do you see cracks in military support for the regime?

:13:16.:13:22.

There is a crack in the military, the Republican Guards and the

:13:22.:13:29.

central security forces led by his son and nephews. They are the only

:13:29.:13:37.

loyalists. Of the Ali, there is a huge crack and we have heard many

:13:37.:13:43.

of the Republican Guards members have defected and are not excepting

:13:43.:13:52.

what is happening to Erin people. Thank you. -- to their own people.

:13:52.:13:55.

The Greek government is trying to find the money it needs to deal

:13:55.:14:02.

with his debts. The need to be satisfied with the Government's

:14:02.:14:05.

progress on deficit-reduction before more bear that funds can be

:14:05.:14:09.

released. The IMF has criticised the Greek Government's strategy of

:14:09.:14:15.

reducing the deficit by raising taxes.

:14:16.:14:22.

Some people say the future of the euro-zone lies in this man's hands.

:14:22.:14:27.

He is the Greek Finance Minister and these are critical days. His

:14:27.:14:31.

country faces bankruptcy next month without another injection of bail

:14:31.:14:35.

out money. Other European leaders insist Greece must do more to

:14:35.:14:40.

reduce its deficit and that this was the message the IMF gave him

:14:40.:14:46.

today. The ball is in the Greek court, implementation is of the

:14:46.:14:51.

essence. Yes, there have been tax rises and pay cuts but they have

:14:51.:14:56.

not done the job. The numbers in the public sector remain high, tax

:14:56.:15:00.

collection is a shambles and the economy is shrinking. So, more cuts

:15:00.:15:04.

are on the way but this time increasingly the Greeks are

:15:04.:15:14.
:15:14.:15:18.

The Athens bike fair drew many middle-class families. Among them,

:15:18.:15:23.

was so Joanna Karelles, a public sector worker. She says she is

:15:23.:15:29.

scared. We are very careful about what we buy now. Every time we go

:15:29.:15:32.

to the supermarket, we are very careful to go with a list and it is

:15:32.:15:39.

becoming a shorter and shorter list. When schools started this autumn,

:15:39.:15:44.

this family found a shortage of books in the classroom. Just a week

:15:44.:15:49.

ago, the government announced a property tax, the aim to raise 2

:15:49.:15:55.

billion euros. It would hit flat owners like Anna. It works out

:15:55.:16:00.

about six or 7 euros per metre which means just about more than

:16:01.:16:07.

700 euros for this flat for a year in two instalments. How do people

:16:07.:16:12.

feel about that one-off tax because it is quite a lot of money? It is.

:16:12.:16:15.

I think the middle classes and property owners are getting

:16:15.:16:20.

outraged. The taxes will be collected by electricity bills and

:16:20.:16:24.

already the power unions are saying they will sabotage it. On the

:16:24.:16:28.

streets there are crowds saying they will not pay the new tax. That

:16:28.:16:32.

is the problem. Families and public-sector workers are

:16:32.:16:36.

increasingly unwilling to accept cuts in exchange for a further

:16:36.:16:41.

bail-out. 53 people have been killed in the

:16:41.:16:47.

earthquake which hit the India Nepal border according to officials.

:16:48.:16:50.

The epicentre of the quake was in the northeastern Indian state of

:16:51.:16:54.

Sikkim, where at least 31 people were killed. Police and media say

:16:54.:16:56.

rain and landslides are blocking the efforts of rescue workers

:16:56.:16:59.

searching for survivors. Gunmen in Burundi have shot dead at

:16:59.:17:03.

least 36 people in an attack on a bar. Survivors said dozens of men

:17:03.:17:06.

armed with automatic weapons entered the bar in Gatumba, close

:17:06.:17:09.

to the capital, Bujumbura. It's the worst outbreak of violence since

:17:09.:17:11.

disputed elections in Burundi last year.

:17:11.:17:15.

Here in the UK, six men and one woman have been arrested on counter

:17:15.:17:18.

terror charges. The men, aged between 25 and 32, were detained

:17:18.:17:22.

last night in a series of raids in Birmingham. The woman is being

:17:22.:17:30.

questioned on suspicion of withholding information. The Greek

:17:30.:17:34.

Cypriot government says drilling for natural gas in water south of

:17:34.:17:37.

Cyprus has started, despite repeated warnings from Turkey that

:17:37.:17:42.

it must not go ahead. Turkey said drilling would prompt it to send

:17:42.:17:46.

its own exploration ships into waters controlled by a Turkish

:17:46.:17:54.

Cypriots. Britain is facing an economic

:17:54.:17:58.

crisis, the equivalent of being at war, that was the stark assessment

:17:58.:18:02.

given today by Vince Cable at the Liberal Democrats' conference in

:18:02.:18:06.

Birmingham. He painted a gloomy picture of the economic recovery,

:18:06.:18:11.

saying there were gloomy times ahead. Nick Clegg, the party leader,

:18:11.:18:15.

said there was no alternative to the Commission's strategy.

:18:15.:18:19.

A bleak warning was issued in Birmingham today. A warning to the

:18:19.:18:24.

country that danger lies ahead. The enemy is not one that we can see,

:18:24.:18:28.

not one they can protect us against. It is the threat that the economy

:18:28.:18:33.

may not recover. We now face a crisis that is the economic

:18:33.:18:38.

equivalent of war. The Business Secretary told his fellow Liberal

:18:38.:18:41.

Democrats today that the public deserved and wanted to be told it

:18:41.:18:47.

like it is. The truth is, that there are difficult times ahead,

:18:47.:18:53.

that Britain's post-war pattern of ever-rising living standards has

:18:53.:18:58.

been broken by the financial collapse. Ministers' language is

:18:58.:19:03.

changing. They have begun to talk of the need opt for a stimulus to

:19:03.:19:07.

get the economy moving, to get more companies to follow Jaguar Land-

:19:07.:19:11.

Rover who today announced they would be creating 750 jobs building

:19:11.:19:17.

a new engine plant in Wolverhampton. The Lib Dem Conference has echoed

:19:17.:19:21.

to the sound of coalition disharmony, as one partner

:19:21.:19:26.

criticises the other in what they call their political marriage. Some

:19:26.:19:29.

people say coalition is a political marriage, how would your wife,

:19:29.:19:34.

Miriam, feel if you describe her as witless, a nightmare and that

:19:34.:19:42.

divorce was inevitable? I think... Miriam would not be pleased! People

:19:42.:19:46.

on that platform behind me have said it. To accept that people

:19:46.:19:51.

would get on the platform and say stuff about the Conservatives, that

:19:51.:19:56.

is what happens in politics. Party conferences are the times when

:19:56.:20:00.

ministers display their differences in public with their coalition

:20:00.:20:04.

partners. In private, they are united in worrying about how one

:20:04.:20:14.

earth to get the economy moving again.

:20:14.:20:17.

Our political correspondent is that the conference in Birmingham for us.

:20:17.:20:20.

We have been talking about the economy, in the USA, Greece and

:20:20.:20:27.

here, it seems economic gloom is the theme of the hour? Exactly. And

:20:27.:20:30.

yet, the mood at the Liberal Democrats' conference is strangely

:20:30.:20:35.

upbeat, especially when you consider that it was only back in

:20:35.:20:39.

May that they suffered really bad losses at local government

:20:39.:20:42.

elections and even now, they are still languishing in the opinion

:20:43.:20:47.

polls. To talk a little more about this, I have with me Mark

:20:47.:20:53.

Littlewood, a former head of press for the Liberal Democrats. They at

:20:53.:20:58.

11 % in the opinion polls, that is half what they were on before the

:20:58.:21:03.

general election, why are they so upbeat? Why is there not more

:21:03.:21:08.

revolt in the air? I think it is more defiance than being upbeat.

:21:08.:21:12.

The Liberal Democrats usually get a boost from local elections. The May

:21:13.:21:16.

results were horrible and there were many councillors who lost

:21:16.:21:21.

their seats. They will probably conclude that is because the party

:21:21.:21:26.

is in coalition with the Conservatives. It is not since the

:21:26.:21:30.

days of David Lloyd George back in the 1920s that Liberal Democrats

:21:30.:21:34.

have held any high office of sorts. Although there is concern about the

:21:34.:21:39.

opinion poll ratings and what should be done to get them back up

:21:39.:21:44.

to the twenties, I think there is still a degree of pride that the

:21:44.:21:47.

Liberal Democrats are in a meaningful power. Vince Cable was

:21:47.:21:51.

warning of tough times ahead on the economy and we know the Liberal

:21:51.:21:56.

Democrats were getting a lot of blame for the austerity, presumably

:21:56.:21:59.

that means there could be more pressure on whether the coalition

:21:59.:22:05.

actually holds together to 2015? think it is likely the coalition

:22:05.:22:10.

will hold together for the duration. There is total unity on the need

:22:10.:22:14.

for fiscal retrenchment to get the budget deficit under control over

:22:14.:22:19.

the course of this Parliament. That is the glue which is holding the

:22:19.:22:23.

Conservatives and Liberal Democrats together. I think Vince Cable was

:22:23.:22:26.

right to say the outlook for the economy was hardly rosy and what is

:22:26.:22:31.

happening internationally will buffet it, they are not in control

:22:31.:22:35.

of their own destiny but I think the Liberal Democrats will have to

:22:35.:22:38.

do more to explain how the British economy can get out of this mess,

:22:38.:22:44.

what concrete steps have been taken -- can be taken. There has been a

:22:44.:22:49.

lot said at the conference to echo what President Obama has said, we

:22:49.:22:54.

have got to hit the rich harder, that has been the message repeated

:22:54.:22:58.

by Vince Cable, Nick Clegg and Danny Alexander. Really, the

:22:58.:23:02.

challenge is, what can the coalition do to help growth in the

:23:02.:23:07.

British economy? We are bumbling along at very sluggish rates of

:23:07.:23:11.

growth. What can we do to make this a better environment to do business

:23:11.:23:15.

in? My concern is the Liberal Democrats are drawing red lines

:23:15.:23:20.

about tax cuts for the rich, considering how the burden of pain

:23:20.:23:23.

should be shared out, rather than working out what steps can be taken

:23:23.:23:28.

to get the economy off the floor. Thank you for joining us. Nick

:23:28.:23:31.

Clegg will give his speech to conference in a couple of days'

:23:31.:23:36.

time and his big theme here has been the Liberal Democrats are

:23:36.:23:39.

providing a restraining influence on the Conservatives in the

:23:39.:23:43.

coalition, but once again, the opinion polls do not quite suggest

:23:43.:23:50.

he is having much luck convincing the voters.

:23:50.:23:54.

Thank you. Surgeons who successfully separated conjoined

:23:54.:23:58.

twins a month ago say the two baby girls are recovering well. Rital

:23:59.:24:04.

and Ritag Gaboura were born joined at the head. The sisters, who are

:24:04.:24:09.

from Sudan, had four operations at Great Ormond Street Hospital in

:24:09.:24:14.

London. Doctors say they have overcome incredible odds to survive.

:24:14.:24:20.

Fergus Walsh reports. This is now to get the nurse for

:24:20.:24:25.

Rital and Ritag, sharing the same cot but these twins have undergone

:24:26.:24:30.

an extraordinary journey to be physically separated. Born at

:24:30.:24:34.

joined at the head, doctors said they would probably have died

:24:34.:24:37.

unless they underwent surgery. Their parents, both doctors from

:24:38.:24:43.

Sudan, can now each hold one daughter in their arms. For them,

:24:43.:24:46.

it is a miracle. What was it like when the twins

:24:46.:24:52.

were able to look each other in the eye for the first time? It was

:24:52.:24:59.

really a great moment in our life. I will never forget. I hope that

:24:59.:25:05.

they will get a normal life and treated as normal human beings and

:25:05.:25:11.

to forget all of their suffering times. Looking at the twins now, it

:25:11.:25:15.

is remarkable to think that just a month ago they were joined at the

:25:15.:25:19.

head. It is still too early to be sure but there are no signs at this

:25:19.:25:23.

stage that either has suffered any neurological damage as a result of

:25:24.:25:28.

the separation. This was the huge surgical team at Great Ormond

:25:29.:25:34.

Street Hospital who carried out four complex operations spread over

:25:34.:25:40.

four months, first dividing the veins and arteries, then growing

:25:40.:25:44.

use skin to cover the skull and finally this, the moment when the

:25:44.:25:51.

twins were separated. There are so many things that you have to get

:25:51.:25:54.

right in the right order, separating the blood vessels,

:25:54.:25:59.

making sure the brain is safe, reconstructing skin. It has really

:25:59.:26:04.

been a tribute to the team that we have been able to plan this in such

:26:04.:26:08.

detail and keep them safe throughout. A charity, Facing the

:26:08.:26:14.

World, paid the medical costs and say the twins will still -- soon be

:26:14.:26:20.

well enough to be flown home with the hopes of a bright future.

:26:20.:26:24.

Our main news: President Obama has up blind his plan for cutting

:26:24.:26:30.

America's huge budget deficit saying wealthier citizens must pay

:26:30.:26:33.

higher taxes. At least 50 people have been killed

:26:33.:26:38.

in the capital of Yemen, Sanaa, in escalating violence between

:26:38.:26:42.

opponents of President Saleh and forces loyal to him.

:26:42.:26:48.

That is all from the programme. Next, the weather, from the

:26:48.:26:58.
:26:58.:27:01.

Philippa Thomas and the rest of the Hello. The weather for this week is

:27:01.:27:06.

looking pretty changeable. Weather fronts queuing up from the Atlantic

:27:06.:27:11.

sweeping across the UK. Today, we have a band of rain affecting

:27:11.:27:15.

southern areas of the UK. It is courtesy of this weather front

:27:15.:27:21.

moving across northern England over Nat Nat, slowly sinking its way

:27:21.:27:31.
:27:31.:27:32.

southwards throughout Tuesday. -- moving its way southwards overnight.

:27:32.:27:37.

Tomorrow, the skies should brighten across Lincolnshire and the

:27:37.:27:44.

Midlands but later turning cloudy and white. South East is looking

:27:44.:27:50.

largely dry and bright. In Devon and Cornwall, some of the rain will

:27:50.:27:57.

be heavy at times, continuing through southern Wales. Northern

:27:57.:28:00.

Wales will be dry and brighter through Tuesday afternoon. The

:28:00.:28:04.

Northern Ireland and Scotland, quite a different looking afternoon.

:28:04.:28:08.

Sunny spells and scattered showers, watch out with some gusty winds.

:28:08.:28:12.

There will be some heavy showers in the afternoon with the odd rumble
