This is BBC World News Today with me Alice Baxter. | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
Russia's actions in Ukraine are a blatant violation of Ukrainian | :00:12. | :00:17. | |
sovereignty - that's the view from NATO after an emergency summit. | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
NATO's Secretary General says Russia's action defied all | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
After three-and-a-half years of conflict, the number of Syrian | :00:25. | :00:30. | |
refugees registered in neighbouring countries has reached three million. | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
The terror threat to the UK is raised from substantial to severe. | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
The Prime Minister says Islamic State militants cannot be ignored. | :00:39. | :00:49. | |
The ambition to create an extremist caliphate at the heart of Iraq and | :00:50. | :00:55. | |
Syria is a threat to our own security. | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
And as Charlie and the Chocolate factory turns 50, Roald Dahl's | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
We begin with the ongoing conflict in Eastern Ukraine. | :01:02. | :01:17. | |
The head of Nato has accused Russia of blatantly violating Ukraine's | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
sovereignty and engaging in direct military operations to | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
The remarks by Nato Secretary-General Anders Fogh | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
Rasmussen come as Ukraine's Prime Minister said he was | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
putting the country on course for Nato membership. | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
Russia continues to deny sending troops and arms across the border | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
but, as the conflict continues, the scale of the suffering has been | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
It says nearly 2,600 people have been killed since April | :01:47. | :01:57. | |
when Russia's annexation of Crimea prompted | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
the rebels to take control of large parts of Donetsk and Luhansk. | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
Pro-Russian rebels continue a fightback against Ukrainian | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
government troops after weeks in which they have been forced onto | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
This is unverified footage, but significantly, Kiev and the West say | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
this fightback has been fortified by escalating Russian military | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
involvement prompting an emergency meeting of NATO ambassadors. | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
Today, we expressed strong solidarity with Ukraine. | :02:27. | :02:33. | |
At the Wales summit next week, we will meet President Poroshenko | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
to make clear NATO's unwavering support for Ukraine. | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
The Ukrainian prime minister has just said that his government | :02:46. | :02:56. | |
would ask Parliament to seek Nato membership. | :02:57. | :02:58. | |
The NATO response, a cautious one, that it respects the Kiev decision. | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
And the word from Washington is the response to Russia is not | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
Russia is already more isolated than at any time since the Cold War. | :03:08. | :03:15. | |
Capital is fleeing. Investors are staying out. | :03:16. | :03:17. | |
This ongoing Russian incursion into Ukraine will only bring more | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
EU leaders meeting in Brussels this weekend will now look at tougher | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
sanctions against Russia following this new turn in the crisis. | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
But how effective can they be given the stakes in this for the Kremlin? | :03:31. | :03:37. | |
still denies any such involvement. says shows Russian combat forces in | :03:38. | :03:48. | |
A defiant rally by Ukrainian loyalists in a south eastern town | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
suddenly under threat from the latest rebel successes. | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
Their opinion of the Russian president Vladimir Putin is clear | :03:58. | :03:59. | |
But in his latest remarks, the Russian leader has responded | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
with a Nazi analogy of his own, accusing Kiev of an assault on | :04:05. | :04:12. | |
Eastern Ukraine reminiscent of the siege of Leningrad in World War II. | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
The wreckage and the costs of this conflict in Ukraine | :04:16. | :04:17. | |
A way out of it, however, seems as elusive as ever. | :04:18. | :04:27. | |
Joining me now from Washington is Ian Brzezinski | :04:28. | :04:29. | |
who served as the deputy assistant secretary of defence for European | :04:30. | :04:31. | |
He's now a senior fellow at the influential think tank | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
Thank you for joining us. What do you think is the likelihood of NATO | :04:38. | :04:55. | |
accepting Ukraine as a member? Very unlikely because Ukraine is not | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
prepared for NATO membership. It does not meet the requirements for | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
NATO membership. But I think it is a positive sign and a good step to say | :05:07. | :05:14. | |
that needle's door is open. -- NATO. Why does Ukraine not meet the | :05:15. | :05:27. | |
requirements? It has a weak economy, it has systemic corruption problems, | :05:28. | :05:34. | |
there are probably deep Russian penetrations of it's that its | :05:35. | :05:46. | |
services. But Ukraine's European aspirations are legitimate and | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
should be supported by the West. Do you believe that that position is | :05:50. | :05:56. | |
understood in Ukraine? If you listen to President Poroshenko, it would | :05:57. | :06:02. | |
seem that they believe that membership of NATO is imminent. I | :06:03. | :06:18. | |
think it is more in the future. It took Poland, the Czech Republic and | :06:19. | :06:32. | |
the Baltic states and Romania to take some time to gain membership. | :06:33. | :06:39. | |
But their aspirations should be supported. This is not the first | :06:40. | :06:41. | |
time needle has sought NATO membership. In the 1980s, there was | :06:42. | :06:49. | |
an interest expressed. Yet comments being made by Anders Fogh | :06:50. | :07:00. | |
Rasmussen, is that not intensifying the situation on the ground? | :07:01. | :07:14. | |
Condemnation should be directed towards Russia for invading Ukraine. | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
It has significantly increased Ukrainian in test in NATO membership | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
at political and public level. For President Putin, he has repeatedly | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
made it clear that membership of NATO would very much be a red line | :07:30. | :07:36. | |
for him. It is pretty outrageous for a country like Russia to assert that | :07:37. | :07:43. | |
he can determine their political orientation of other states. Ukraine | :07:44. | :07:53. | |
is a European state, it has legitimate aspirations to become | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
part of the European union, it is natural for it to seek NATO | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
membership. Thank you for joining us. | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
The Syrian refugee crisis is being called | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
the biggest humanitarian emergency of our era by the United Nations. | :08:10. | :08:11. | |
The conflict started three and a half years ago | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
and the number of refugees now registered in neighbouring countries | :08:15. | :08:16. | |
That's an increase of one million in just a year. | :08:17. | :08:23. | |
Inside Syria, there are another six and a half million displaced people. | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
Altogether, that means nearly half of Syria's 18 million population | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
The UN says the world is failing to meet the needs of the refugees | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
Among them, thousands who fled Mount Sinjar near the Iraqi city of Mosul. | :08:36. | :08:42. | |
Our correspondent Gabriel Gatehouse met some | :08:43. | :08:43. | |
of those who managed to escape, but paid an enormous sacrifice. | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
You may find parts of his report disturbing. | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
These are some of the children who have made it from Mount Sinjar. | :08:52. | :08:57. | |
Many have lost friends or family, all are now homeless. | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
But they are alive and they are happy about that. | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
But for many, self-preservation came at a huge cost. | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
As Yazidis fled in their thousands, this policeman was struggling. | :09:12. | :09:18. | |
He and his wife had three kids, too young to walk. | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
The fighters from the Islamic State at their backs, they were forced to | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
make an almost impossible decision, to leave their four-year-old son | :09:27. | :09:28. | |
There was a hut by the side of the road. | :09:29. | :09:36. | |
It must have been a very difficult decision to make. | :09:37. | :09:46. | |
To leave one of your children behind as you fled? | :09:47. | :09:56. | |
But Kurdish fighters later found the boy and brought him to a hospital | :09:57. | :10:06. | |
Here, the BBC found him, badly dehydrated | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
No one knew his name or who his parents were. | :10:12. | :10:19. | |
Jalal was eventually alerted by a relative who saw a picture | :10:20. | :10:22. | |
He made the journey to Syria yesterday, | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
We travelled to the frontline of the now meaningless border | :10:28. | :10:45. | |
These fighters, mostly Syrian Kurds, have been battling IS | :10:46. | :10:48. | |
They say they are not intimidated by the Islamist group's gruesome | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
You can see buildings just a few hundred metres from here. | :10:53. | :11:00. | |
That is where the Isis fighters are based. | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
These two sides are literally eyeball to eyeball here. | :11:04. | :11:09. | |
As we watched, the fighters spot some IS patrols on | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
They fire off a few shots, just to remind them that we are | :11:14. | :11:19. | |
The people in this camp don't even count | :11:20. | :11:29. | |
towards the figure of 3 million refugees from the Syrian war. | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
Thousands of Yazidis have found temporary refuge here inside Kurdish | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
But they don't feel safe and many say they have already made | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
up their minds to abandon their homeland for good. | :11:45. | :11:51. | |
With me now is Andrej Mahecic, the spokesperson to the United Nations | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
This 3 million, it is a grim milestone to have reached. This is | :11:56. | :12:11. | |
only the registered number of refugees? Exactly, this is what we | :12:12. | :12:17. | |
have on the books, what we can vouch for. There are many, many more who | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
have fled to neighbouring countries and who have decided not to approach | :12:23. | :12:30. | |
the authorities, not to register. But the idea, part of the community. | :12:31. | :12:37. | |
At the moment, the present and enormous burden on neighbouring | :12:38. | :12:45. | |
countries who are now hosting 96% of all Syrian refugees. There is an | :12:46. | :12:51. | |
additional number of 6.5 million internally displaced inside Syria. | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
When you put these figures together, that is half of Sadiyah's | :12:56. | :13:06. | |
population. Half of Syria's population have been forced to | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
abandon their homes. Regardless of what we do in Syria to help, it is | :13:11. | :13:16. | |
still far from what their needs are. At the moment, we have been able to | :13:17. | :13:22. | |
help some 2.5 million Syrians inside the country and we are working in | :13:23. | :13:30. | |
the region to help the 3 million. But the needs are massive. This year | :13:31. | :13:36. | |
alone, between now and the end of the year, we need about $2 billion | :13:37. | :13:43. | |
to meet immediate needs. In the coming weeks, we will be looking at | :13:44. | :13:50. | |
the Winter issues. At least 2.5 million people will be needing help. | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
It is important to understand why people are fleeing the conflict. | :13:55. | :14:00. | |
There is death, displacement and destruction inside Syria. Some of | :14:01. | :14:08. | |
these settlements today look like lunar surfaces, not even one brick | :14:09. | :14:17. | |
left on another break. People have been displaced inside Syria before | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
and they have decided to leave because they cannot bear to stay any | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
longer. You paint a very graphic picture and you see that the UN | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
still needs a further $2 billion to help alleviate some of this pain. | :14:31. | :14:37. | |
Tell me where most of these refugees have ended up. First of all, they | :14:38. | :14:44. | |
are in Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey. In Lebanon, we have more than 1.1 | :14:45. | :14:50. | |
million refugees. In Turkey, more than 800,000. In Jordan, more than | :14:51. | :14:57. | |
600,000. In Iraq, 250,000. When you add that up, it is clear that the | :14:58. | :15:04. | |
region is sinking under this pressure. Our country is able to | :15:05. | :15:13. | |
cope? These countries have been taken for granted and need | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
assistance. We are calling for the international community to address | :15:19. | :15:21. | |
the root causes of conflict, but also to continue support for the | :15:22. | :15:24. | |
Syrian refugees and the countries hosting them and look for a way to | :15:25. | :15:31. | |
end the conflict and the suffering of the Syrian people. Thank you. | :15:32. | :15:37. | |
A terrorist attack against Britain is now highly likely, as a result | :15:38. | :15:40. | |
That's the verdict of the British government which has increased | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
its threat level from Substantial, when an attack is deemed a strong | :15:45. | :15:51. | |
possibility, to Severe, which means an attack is highly likely. | :15:52. | :15:54. | |
It's the second highest terror level behind critical, which indicates | :15:55. | :15:56. | |
There's currently no intelligence suggesting an attack is imminent | :15:57. | :16:02. | |
but people are being urged to remain vigiliant. | :16:03. | :16:05. | |
The Prime Minister says the Islamic State group is | :16:06. | :16:07. | |
a greater threat to British security than any seen before. | :16:08. | :16:17. | |
Today I want to tell you other competent approach rotating. We have | :16:18. | :16:25. | |
been shocked and sickened by the barbaric murder of American | :16:26. | :16:26. | |
journalist James Foley. We've all been shocked | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
and sickened by the barbaric murder And by the voice | :16:32. | :16:33. | |
of what increasingly seems to have been a British terrorist recorded | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
on that video. It was clear evidence, | :16:38. | :16:39. | |
not that any more was needed, that this is not some foreign | :16:40. | :16:41. | |
conflict thousands of miles from The ambition to create | :16:42. | :16:44. | |
an extremist caliphate in the heart of Iraq and Syria is a threat to | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
our own security here in the UK. That is in addition to the many | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
other Al Qaeda inspired terrorist So what exactly is the threat to | :16:53. | :16:55. | |
the UK Our Correspondent Frank | :16:56. | :17:01. | |
Gardner has this analysis. who have gone to Syria with many | :17:02. | :17:11. | |
joining the violent extremist group At least half that number have | :17:12. | :17:18. | |
already returned to Britain. It's the job of MI5, | :17:19. | :17:22. | |
the security service, headquarters here in London, | :17:23. | :17:25. | |
to detect any plans anyone may have They are helped by communications | :17:26. | :17:28. | |
intercepts from GCHQ, Together their input is assessed | :17:29. | :17:35. | |
by a group of 100 analysts who then advise the government what is the | :17:36. | :17:40. | |
level of risk facing the public. The newly raised terror threat level | :17:41. | :17:46. | |
is partly a response to what you could call easy Jihad because to | :17:47. | :17:49. | |
join an extremist group like ISIS British passport holders have simply | :17:50. | :17:54. | |
been hopping on a flight to Turkey, getting a bus to the border | :17:55. | :17:58. | |
and then walking into Syria. Well over 200 have now returned | :17:59. | :18:01. | |
to Britain, many of them having This is also the age | :18:02. | :18:04. | |
of social media jihad, with tweets and postings on Facebook attracting | :18:05. | :18:11. | |
a constant stream of recruits. And then there are the gaps | :18:12. | :18:15. | |
in the government response. Despite some new measures, | :18:16. | :18:18. | |
put bluntly, there just aren't enough policemen and spies to watch | :18:19. | :18:21. | |
around the clock everybody who comes I think the terrorist threat level | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
we are seeing at the moment linked to Syria and Iraq is one that is | :18:26. | :18:32. | |
very real and very substantial. You're dealing with | :18:33. | :18:35. | |
a situation where you've got groups fighting in Syria in Iraq who have | :18:36. | :18:37. | |
expressed a rhetoric of wanting to You've got a substantial body | :18:38. | :18:40. | |
of foreigners and Britons in particular who have been out to | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
fight there, some of whom have come back, and we have | :18:45. | :18:46. | |
seen across Europe at least four or five plots that have been disrupted | :18:47. | :18:50. | |
with links to Syria and Iraq. One that wasn't stopped was | :18:51. | :18:53. | |
a shooting in Brussels in May Here the government fears more | :18:54. | :18:56. | |
opportunistic attacks like this and last year's murder | :18:57. | :19:03. | |
of an off-duty soldier in Woolwich. The police and MI5 now work | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
so closely right across the country that it's far | :19:08. | :19:10. | |
harder than it used to be for terrorists to plan a large scale | :19:11. | :19:13. | |
attack like the London bombings. But the longer the Syrian conflict | :19:14. | :19:16. | |
continues, the greater the risk that some of those who have taken part | :19:17. | :19:20. | |
in it may be tempted to use Now a look at some | :19:21. | :19:23. | |
of the day's other news. The eurozone inflation rate has | :19:24. | :19:33. | |
fallen to 0.3% in August, adding The drop was driven by lower food | :19:34. | :19:37. | |
and energy prices, and is a sign that firms and households aren't | :19:38. | :19:43. | |
spending or generating wealth. The figures will add to pressure on | :19:44. | :19:47. | |
the European Central Bank to take The authorities | :19:48. | :19:50. | |
in Iceland have scaled back their aviation warning from red to | :19:51. | :19:59. | |
orange after the Bardarbunga volcano The red alert was precautionary and, | :20:00. | :20:01. | |
although it's been reduced, planes are still banned from flying withing | :20:02. | :20:06. | |
a three-mile radius of the volcano. So far, it hasn't produced any ash | :20:07. | :20:11. | |
cloud which could endanger aircraft. Google has announced its developing | :20:12. | :20:17. | |
a fleet of airborne drones designed to deliver packages to people more | :20:18. | :20:20. | |

the virus had been carried by a man from neighbouring Guinea | :20:46. | :20:48. | |
who is now under quarantine. The current outbreak in west Africa | :20:49. | :20:51. | |
has been the worst on record. 600 people have died in Liberia | :20:52. | :20:53. | |
alone. Our correspondent Tamasin Ford has | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
been to the Liberia and Ivory Coast border where preparations are being | :20:58. | :21:00. | |
made to prevent Ebola An unnerving silence replaces | :21:01. | :21:03. | |
the normally vibrant border. All official crossing points | :21:04. | :21:12. | |
into Liberia and Guinea were closed The latest government | :21:13. | :21:14. | |
efforts to avoid Ebola. Trucks are already beginning to pile | :21:15. | :21:20. | |
up on this side of the border. Authorities say health is more | :21:21. | :21:23. | |
important than trade, but people here have no idea when | :21:24. | :21:26. | |
the borders are going to reopen. People are suffering financially | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
but many are relieved This woman's family is | :21:32. | :21:33. | |
on the other side. She says it's difficult | :21:34. | :21:39. | |
but the fear of Ebola is worse. I'm afraid of death because it is | :21:40. | :21:45. | |
not a trip you can return from. We've been told not to eat bush | :21:46. | :21:52. | |
meat, not to shake hands Beyond these mountains lies Liberia | :21:53. | :21:55. | |
where Ebola is now out of control. Thick but porous rainforest is all | :21:56. | :22:02. | |
that separates Ivory Coast from This is one of five Ebola | :22:03. | :22:09. | |
treatment centres in the region. Doctors are practising what to do | :22:10. | :22:16. | |
if a suspected case arrives. We have done | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
the maximum possible to be ready and As soon | :22:21. | :22:29. | |
as any suspected case arrives. You can never be ready enough but I | :22:30. | :22:33. | |
think we are strong enough to fight The heat inside the suit is | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
the biggest difficulty, he says. Two or three hours are | :22:38. | :22:46. | |
the most anyone can last. Countries have been accused | :22:47. | :22:49. | |
of abandoning the Ebola-hit nations, closing borders | :22:50. | :22:51. | |
and suspending flights. But Ivory Coast says it will do | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
anything it can to fight Ebola. Hopes of a breakthrough in the fight | :22:56. | :23:10. | |
against Ebola have been raised after Canada's Public Health Agency | :23:11. | :23:13. | |
announced that the experimental drug Z-Mapp proved to be 100% effective | :23:14. | :23:16. | |
in tests carried out on monkeys. The experimental drug cured | :23:17. | :23:20. | |
the macaque monkeys even when administered five days after | :23:21. | :23:24. | |
infection and even while the animals However, the effectiveness | :23:25. | :23:27. | |
in humans is still unclear. Two out of the seven people | :23:28. | :23:33. | |
treated with Z-MAPP have died. It's 50 years since Roald Dahl wrote | :23:34. | :23:38. | |
the children's classic The book's characters have | :23:39. | :23:40. | |
become household names. But it turns out they were only | :23:41. | :23:45. | |
part of the original story. The discovery of new unpublished | :23:46. | :23:49. | |
chapters reveals Dahl had intended to include more children lucky | :23:50. | :23:52. | |
enough to win the golden ticket and meet Willy Wonka, but dropped | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
them from the final version. This report from our Arts Editor | :23:57. | :24:00. | |
Will Gompertz begins with Lots of things that don't happen | :24:01. | :24:02. | |
in life will probably happen He always managed to add | :24:03. | :24:13. | |
a few surprises. When Roald Dahl originally wrote | :24:14. | :24:16. | |
the story, they were ten, not five, I'm sitting in a re-creation | :24:17. | :24:21. | |
of Roald Dahl's writing hut at his museum in Great Missenden | :24:22. | :24:24. | |
and in front of me is an early draft of what would become | :24:25. | :24:27. | |
Charlie And The Chocolate Factory. It's full of edits and corrections | :24:28. | :24:31. | |
and it's even called Charlie's Chapter 5, the Vanilla Fudge Room, | :24:32. | :24:33. | |
was cut by the author. It saw the demise | :24:34. | :24:40. | |
of two unused characters, Both of whom were disobedient | :24:41. | :24:42. | |
and spoilt. They were discovered | :24:43. | :24:49. | |
along with their parents in the author's archive by a writer who | :24:50. | :24:51. | |
was impressed by what she found. I admire him more, I think, | :24:52. | :24:54. | |
because you literally see more You can see the invention, it's even | :24:55. | :24:57. | |
more ceaseless and fertile, but also Charlie is only the second | :24:58. | :25:03. | |
children's book he ever wrote. The illustrator Quentin Blake worked | :25:04. | :25:10. | |
with Roald Dahl and has produced many drawings for | :25:11. | :25:12. | |
Charlie And The Chocolate Factory. I knew that he rewrote | :25:13. | :25:17. | |
and rewrote many times. For this last chapter | :25:18. | :25:24. | |
about the Vanilla Fudge Mountain, he's leading a group of people who | :25:25. | :25:27. | |
aren't in the final book. It's interesting to see something | :25:28. | :25:30. | |
at an earlier stage, what happened So how does it feel | :25:31. | :25:32. | |
when it comes to leaving a character It's really sad, | :25:33. | :25:38. | |
but sometimes they don't do anything to further the plot or they don't do | :25:39. | :25:43. | |
anything to bring as much as they should and you kind of feel you're | :25:44. | :25:47. | |
placing that on them a little bit. The extra characters had to go | :25:48. | :25:51. | |
because they overcomplicated the story but half a century later, they | :25:52. | :25:54. | |
do give a fascinating insight into the creative process of one of the | :25:55. | :25:57. | |
world's most imaginative authors. If you like your politicians to be | :25:58. | :26:05. | |
clean cut and behave impeccably, you're probably not going to vote | :26:06. | :26:08. | |
for Canada's Rob Ford. He's admitted being drunk in public, | :26:09. | :26:13. | |
confessed to smoking crack cocaine, and been videoed swearing | :26:14. | :26:17. | |
and using threatening language. But as far as we're aware he's | :26:18. | :26:20. | |
never been seen like this. This is the Toronto mayor | :26:21. | :26:28. | |
at a council meeting having a dance and a sing-a-long with the | :26:29. | :26:31. | |
band Jay Douglas and the All Stars. They're performing Bob Marley's | :26:32. | :26:34. | |

for re-election. Good evening. Some reasonable | :26:40. | :27:00. | |
weather on the way this weekend. A lot of dry weather and bright and | :27:01. | :27:05. | |
sunny spells and with light wind, it should feel quite pleasant. Through | :27:06. | :27:08. | |
this evening and overnight, it will stay pretty windy across the British | :27:09. | :27:12. | |
