This is BBC World News Today, broadcasting in the UK | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
The headlines: Donald Trump hits out again at the intelligence community, | :00:00. | :00:13. | |
The US Congress is briefed on the report into Russia's Jack King of | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
the US election. -- hacking. Donald Trump hits out again | :00:18. | :00:26. | |
at the intelligence community, blaming them for releasing | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
allegations linking him with Russia. A baby girl stolen 18 years ago from | :00:31. | :00:40. | |
a hospital in Florida has been found, alive. Dying from the cold: | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
the UN warns that refugees and migrants struggling to survive in | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
Europe's wintry weather. -- are struggling. | :00:50. | :00:58. | |
Intelligence agencies have briefed the US House of Representatives | :00:59. | :01:00. | |
about their investigation into Russia's alleged | :01:01. | :01:02. | |
campaign to influence the US presidential election. | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
Also today, the president-elect has sent out another barrage | :01:08. | :01:09. | |
of early morning tweets, accusing his opponents of making up | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
He's promised a report into hacking within 90 days, | :01:13. | :01:20. | |
as our North America correspondent Nick Bryant reports. | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
There are storylines that could easily come from a Cold War | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
spy thriller, and plot twists involving sex allegations | :01:30. | :01:31. | |
and potential Russian blackmail that even the TV series House Of Cards | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
But this is reality, not a show, and the first episode of Trump | :01:35. | :01:42. | |
the Presidency airs in just one week's time. | :01:43. | :01:44. | |
For now, Donald Trump mainly delivers his lines on Twitter. | :01:45. | :01:46. | |
"It now turns out that the phoney allegations against me were put | :01:47. | :01:54. | |
together by my political opponents and a failed spy | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
Totally made-up facts, by sleazebag political operatives, | :01:58. | :02:06. | |
Probably released by intelligence even knowing there is no | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
My people will have a full report on hacking within 90 days." | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
On Capitol Hill today, lawmakers received a behind closed | :02:16. | :02:21. | |
doors briefing on the unverified dossier and Russia's | :02:22. | :02:29. | |
alleged interference in the presidential election. | :02:30. | :02:30. | |
And many are left demanding more answers. | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
The American people are owed the truth, and there is a great deal | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
of evidence to say this is an issue of high interest to the American | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
people - the strength, the integrity of our own democracy. | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
a senior US official confirming today there were frequent contacts | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
between Donald Trump's top national security adviser and Russia's | :02:51. | :02:52. | |
ambassador here in Washington, and that those contacts took place | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
on the day that President Obama expelled dozens of Russian | :02:56. | :02:57. | |
officials in retaliation for the alleged hacking. | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
It again raises questions about the Trump team's | :03:04. | :03:05. | |
All this as Barack Obama performs his final acts, and one | :03:06. | :03:17. | |
of them took his deputy completely by surprise. | :03:18. | :03:19. | |
I am pleased to award our nation's highest civilian honour, | :03:20. | :03:21. | |
I can say I was part of the journey of a remarkable man, who did | :03:22. | :03:30. | |
But Washington moves on - it's always been a city | :03:31. | :03:38. | |
And this time next week, this capital, this country, will be under | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
The House of Representatives has voted to start the process of | :03:44. | :03:54. | |
repealing Obama care. The US House of Representatives, | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
where the Republican Party has a majority, has voted to begin | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
the process of repealing Mr Obama's landmark Affordable Care Act, | :04:02. | :04:03. | |
known as Obamacare. Our correspondent Laura Bicker | :04:04. | :04:05. | |
explained more about Republicans say people have lack of | :04:06. | :04:12. | |
choice now, and they believe it is Government overreach. They | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
campaigned, and Donald Trump made it a key pledge, to replace it and | :04:16. | :04:21. | |
repeal it. Repealing it might be the easy part, but replacing it is far | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
more tricky. And that is because parts of it are still popular, | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
including that mandate, which means that people with pre-existing | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
conditions have to have health insurance, so they get health | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
insurance that they otherwise would not get. So there is a worry that if | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
they pull that rug away, what will be left? So now we have even a few | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
Republicans who are voicing their concerns. But Paul Ryan, the house | :04:47. | :04:53. | |
speaker, and the senior elected Republican in the house, has already | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
said that they will find a way to make a smooth transition, although | :04:59. | :05:00. | |
we have yet to hear the details of that. | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
A woman has died in the US with an untreatable | :05:05. | :05:06. | |
infection that could resist all available antibiotics. | :05:07. | :05:08. | |
The case occurred last year, and details have just been released | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
in a report by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. | :05:12. | :05:18. | |
She was infected with Klebsiella pneumoniae - | :05:19. | :05:20. | |
which normally lives in the gut without causing disease. | :05:21. | :05:22. | |
Helen Branswell is a senior writer on infectious | :05:23. | :05:24. | |
She told me health authorities will be deeply concerned about the case. | :05:25. | :05:31. | |
Some of the details are not known, as is always the case, her name and | :05:32. | :05:40. | |
personal details have not been released. What is known is that she | :05:41. | :05:47. | |
was a woman who was in her 70s, resident in Reno, Nevada or that | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
area, but had been spending quite a bit of time in India in the two | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
years prior to her death. She had an accident of some sort, and broke her | :05:57. | :06:03. | |
femur in the right leg, which is the big bone in your thigh. After that | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
she developed a bone infection in that bone, and also in her hip, and | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
over the next couple of years she was in and out of hospital a lot in | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
India. As recently as last June, as a matter of fact. That is kind of a | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
risk factor because India has quite a high rate of some of these | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
superbugs that we've been hearing a lot about lately. Then she went to | :06:27. | :06:34. | |
the United States, she was cared for in a hospital in Reno, Nevada, and | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
was quite sick, and they try to cure her and could not. | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
What does that mean, and how worrying is it? | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
Well, people have been warning for quite a while that we are running | :06:46. | :06:52. | |
out of antibiotics essentially, that the bacteria are evolving faster | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
than we can produce new drugs. Health officials have been worried | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
about it a lot. The reason that I was keen to write about this story | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
though is because it sort of translates what seems sometimes like | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
a theoretical risk into reality. I mean, this is happening. It doesn't | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
happen daily, at least not in developed countries, but it is | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
happening and it is going to continue to happen, and at | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
escalating rates. Is there any concern that, you know, | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
the bacteria could have transferred from that woman in the US hospital | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
treatment centres that she was being cared for's sure, that would | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
obviously always be a concern. The hospital seems to have got very | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
quickly that she had a multidrug resistant bacteria, and they are | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
slipped her, and health care team that worked on her used what are | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
called contact precautions, they were wearing gowns and gloves, and | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
they had to obviously washed their hands going out of her room. They | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
have tested the health care workers, they have tested people who were in | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
parts of a hospital near her, so far there is no evidence of the bug's | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
spreading, but experts are saying it is only a matter of time before we | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
see more of these bugs in our hospitals. | :08:14. | :08:20. | |
A newborn girl stolen 18 years ago from a hospital in the US state | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
of Florida has been found alive in South Carolina. | :08:24. | :08:25. | |
Kamiyah Mobley's biological family was notified of the news after DNA | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
A woman has been arrested in connection with the abduction. | :08:29. | :08:38. | |
In the interest of reducing any further trial to this young woman, I | :08:39. | :08:46. | |
am not revealing her name. Please remember this young woman was | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
abducted as a newborn, and she will need time and assistance to process | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
all of this, and we are respecting her privacy and I ask her to do the | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
same. She had an inclination, beginning a couple of months ago | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
probably, that she may have been involved in this in some way, so we | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
were able to deliver that to her today. And again, she is taking it | :09:08. | :09:14. | |
as well as you could imagine but she has a lot to process. She has a lot | :09:15. | :09:16. | |
to think about is you can imagine. Peter Bowes is in | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
Los Angeles for us. Peter, do we know how the police | :09:21. | :09:30. | |
tracked this woman down? No, we don't. That is the key piece of | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
information that we don't have yet, but it is an extraordinary series of | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
events, that we are learning about, going back to 1998, July of that | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
year, when this then Ed-year-old -- eight hour old baby was stolen from | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
a hospital. A woman apparently posed as a nurse, and she said that the | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
child had to be taken away for some treatment because she had a fever. | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
She was taken out of the ward away from her mother and never seen | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
since. There was a huge search at the time, there was extensive media | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
coverage here in the United States, there was a quarter of $1 million | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
award for any information leading to what has now happened, and that is a | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
tip off that she was apparently living with a woman in South | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
Carolina. The woman itself, who's now grown up | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
of course, is not being named as we have there. Very understandably. | :10:27. | :10:32. | |
That's right, she has been known today by her original name, the one | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
that she was given by her family, but we have no other details, and as | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
we've just heard from the police officer there, she has a lot to take | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
in, this woman, realising that her identity was completely different, | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
apparently something has happened, whether it's the tip of or some | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
other information, that made her a little suspicious over the last few | :10:55. | :10:57. | |
months, and then presumably agreed to the DNA test. And the test has | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
just come back and it has confirmed her true identity. As far as we can | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
gather there has been no reunion yet with her family, and that the | :11:07. | :11:12. | |
police, because she is now an adult, say it is now off to her in terms of | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
the circumstances precisely when that happens. How come the police | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
are still working on this? Obviously it was a long time ago. It was, but | :11:21. | :11:26. | |
it was an unsolved case and this is a case of a mother and a family not | :11:27. | :11:33. | |
giving up hope. Over the years some 2000 plus Leeds, tips, were sent | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
into the police and they were investigated, and over the years the | :11:39. | :11:41. | |
tapes were different, and up until as loosely as a couple of years ago | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
police were looking into new information. So this wasn't a cold | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
case, this was still a case that was being actively investigated. Peter, | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
we will wait to find out more. Thanks very much for now. French | :11:55. | :12:05. | |
authorities have launched an investigation into car-maker Renault | :12:06. | :12:08. | |
over allegations they attempted to cheat at this -- emission tests. The | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
companies share price dipped 4% as a result. Earlier this week Volkswagen | :12:14. | :12:19. | |
agree to pay fines for cheating similar test. Pressure is mounting | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
on the Gambia's president to speak down. He lost the December election | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
but has refused to relinquish power. The delegation of West African | :12:30. | :12:36. | |
leaders has arrived to try to resolve the issue before next week's | :12:37. | :12:42. | |
inauguration ceremony. -- Labour's former Education Secretary Tristram | :12:43. | :12:48. | |
Hunt is standing down as an MP, but says his differences with Jeremy | :12:49. | :12:49. | |
Corbyn are in the past. He is the second Labour MP to resign | :12:50. | :12:57. | |
in recent weeks. Stay with us here. Much more ahead. All the sport, | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
including the latest on Diego Costa, who has been left out of the Chelsea | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
squad for this year -- this weekend's match after a dispute over | :13:07. | :13:07. | |
his fitness. The industry is nervous of this | :13:08. | :13:27. | |
report, this may tend to make people want to stop smoking cigarettes. | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
There is not a street that is unaffected. Huge parts were simply | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
demolished as buildings crashed into one another. This woman said she had | :13:37. | :13:40. | |
been given no help and no advice by the authorities. She stood outside | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
the ruins of her business. Tens of thousands of black children in South | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
Africa have taken advantage of laws passed by the country's new | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
multiracial Government, and enrolled at formerly white schools. | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
Tonight sees the 9610th performance of the mousetrap. The management | :13:59. | :14:05. | |
considered whether to cancel tonight's performance, but Agatha | :14:06. | :14:08. | |
Christie would have been the last person to want such a thing. | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
This is BBC World News Today. The latest headlines: | :14:14. | :14:20. | |
Donald Trump has once again hit out at the intelligence community, | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
blaming them for releasing allegations linking him with Russia. | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
A woman has died in the US from an infection which ripped -- resisted | :14:30. | :14:35. | |
all available antibiotics. Disease control experts have told -- called | :14:36. | :14:43. | |
it and "Nightmare back bacteria." -- nightmare bacteria. | :14:44. | :14:48. | |
More than 65 people have died as a result of icy storms | :14:49. | :14:51. | |

The United Nations refugee agency is urging governments to do more. | :15:18. | :15:20. | |
The UNHCR said several migrants had died from cold | :15:21. | :15:22. | |
and exhaustion in Bulgaria, and it called on Greece to move | :15:23. | :15:25. | |
migrants from poor conditions on islands to better facilities | :15:26. | :15:27. | |
Our correspondent Sian Grzeszczyk reports. | :15:28. | :15:36. | |
Desperate to get out of the bitterly cold waters, | :15:37. | :15:38. | |
these are just some of the 800 migrants and refugees | :15:39. | :15:40. | |
that were rescued from the Mediterranean Sea yesterday. | :15:41. | :15:51. | |
The Italian coastguard helped them out of the six rubber boats | :15:52. | :15:57. | |
Freezing temperatures in Europe over the last week have caused the UN | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
to call on governments to do more to help migrants. | :16:02. | :16:03. | |
In Greece, the situation was so bad that this ship was sent | :16:04. | :16:09. | |
to Lesbos, at the request of the Greek Prime Minister, to house | :16:10. | :16:13. | |
migrants amidst health warnings that condition at the main camp | :16:14. | :16:15. | |
Hundreds of others in Lesbos are being transferred to hotels. | :16:16. | :16:23. | |
I am afraid, but I don't know where I go. | :16:24. | :16:25. | |
At the European Parliament in Brussels, a warning about how | :16:26. | :16:29. | |
prepared the EU is for a further increase in numbers. | :16:30. | :16:35. | |
We are making a call for Europe to prepare | :16:36. | :16:37. | |
It may not happen, but we need to be prepared. | :16:38. | :16:47. | |
We are very concerned that in a number of situations, | :16:48. | :16:50. | |
Europe does not seem to have a plan A or plan B. | :16:51. | :16:53. | |
Conditions are also tough at this migrant camp in Serbia. | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
More than 1,000 men from Afghanistan and Pakistan are relying on one meal | :16:58. | :17:00. | |

It's the latest drama with Diego Costa, who's been left out of the | :17:22. | :17:29. | |
Chelsea squad for the match at Leicester on Saturday, after a | :17:30. | :17:32. | |
dispute with the club's coaching staff. He's got 14 goals so far this | :17:33. | :17:39. | |
season, and he is thought to have been the subject of a lucrative | :17:40. | :17:46. | |
offer from a Chinese club. It seems as though, after a period of | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
relative calm in Diego Costa's combustible career, that the start | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
of this week he started to have disagreements with a particular | :17:57. | :18:00. | |
member of the Chelsea coaching staff, and that has escalated to a | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
point where his manager has decided to leave him basically out of the | :18:06. | :18:09. | |
squad, didn't travel to Leicester, he's not going to play at Leicester. | :18:10. | :18:16. | |
The key point is, what is behind the issues? And some people are | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
suggesting that big offers, big, big offers that cost -- Costa seems to | :18:21. | :18:26. | |
be at the centre of, which are coming from China, where other | :18:27. | :18:32. | |
players have gone, they might be at the bottom of Diego Costa's anger at | :18:33. | :18:40. | |
the moment. Birds a different dispute | :18:41. | :18:42. | |
threatening to overshadow the beginning of the Africa cup of | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
Nations. The DDR Congo squad boycotted the training session on | :18:47. | :18:50. | |
Friday before their opening match of the tournament. They -- the players | :18:51. | :18:56. | |
explained the boycott is over bonus payments. They are saying this has | :18:57. | :18:59. | |
been happened from -- happening for years and years, and that they | :19:00. | :19:04. | |
always prepare well but in the end there is always a problem with | :19:05. | :19:09. | |
bonuses. They are Congo play Morocco on Monday, the tournament starts on | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
Saturday, the 31st Africa cup of Nations is being hosted in Gabon. | :19:14. | :19:24. | |
Every two years, Africa's top 16 national sides battle it up to | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
become the continent's top team. This year, the battle ground is | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
Gabon. Five years after this small oil-rich Central African country | :19:34. | :19:36. | |
last hosted the tournament, football is back on the fans are excited. But | :19:37. | :19:41. | |
preparations have been slow. Just a few days ago this was the state of | :19:42. | :19:47. | |
the entrance into the stadium. It will host group C matches and at | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
least 1/4-final. The slow pace of work has not dampened the spirits of | :19:52. | :19:58. | |
the people, led by President Ali Bongo. As in tournaments past, once | :19:59. | :20:02. | |
the action starts, most of the problems tend to be forgotten. | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
Defending champions Ivory coast are still one of the favourites to win | :20:07. | :20:12. | |
the term and, despite being without their once talismanic captain Yaya | :20:13. | :20:15. | |
Toure, who announced his retirement last year. They are in group C | :20:16. | :20:22. | |
alongside Congo, Morocco and Togo. Gabon may not boast the most | :20:23. | :20:26. | |
talented squad, but you discount Africa's most prolific striker at | :20:27. | :20:31. | |
the moment that your own peril. They are in group A, alongside 2013 | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
finalists Burkina Faso, four time winners Cameron and newcomers | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
Guinea-Bissau. Senegal post the continent's most expensive player; | :20:42. | :20:48. | |
they are in group B alongside Algeria, Tunisia and Zimbabwe. Ghana | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
are always in the running to win, despite not having lifted the trophy | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
since 1982. A different country has won the last four nations cups. | :20:58. | :21:03. | |
Gabon is known as the land of the storytellers, but whose legend will | :21:04. | :21:06. | |
be the tail to be told by the end of this tournament? -- the story to be | :21:07. | :21:14. | |
told. Always very exciting, that's all the sport for now. Here in the | :21:15. | :21:22. | |
UK, police in Great Yarmouth and Norfolk say -- and Norfolk say | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
thousands of people are refusing to leave their homes, despite advice to | :21:27. | :21:30. | |
evacuate because of severe -- the threat of severe flooding. Snow and | :21:31. | :21:35. | |
strong winds have continued to hit much of the UK, and the Environment | :21:36. | :21:40. | |
Agency have now issued 17 warnings of danger to life. Ben Brown is in | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
Great Yarmouth, were issued -- huge storm surge is about to reach its | :21:46. | :21:54. | |
peak. It looks pretty wet, then. Yes, actually it seems that it's not | :21:55. | :21:59. | |
quite as bad as some people had feared this -- this storm surge. You | :22:00. | :22:07. | |
can they possibly just behind be the water; it is not yet up to the level | :22:08. | :22:11. | |
of the coastal defences here, so it looks like Great Yarmouth might get | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
away with it, and further up the eastern coast of England it is the | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
same story, whether high tide has already hit -- where the tide has | :22:21. | :22:24. | |
already hit, it doesn't seem to have been as bad as the warnings would | :22:25. | :22:31. | |
have had people believe. But further down the coast, the high tide will | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
be later on and they are bracing themselves for perhaps more damage. | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
It has come over in some places like Scarborough, the water has come over | :22:42. | :22:46. | |
a little bit, but not too concerning. 17 severe flood warnings | :22:47. | :22:50. | |
were issued by the Environment Agency. That means a risk to life, | :22:51. | :22:55. | |
and then more flood warnings as well involving people being asked to take | :22:56. | :23:00. | |
immediate action. There have been 5000 homes that the authorities have | :23:01. | :23:04. | |
been trying to evacuate here in Great Yarmouth, the military and | :23:05. | :23:07. | |
police have been going round trying to get people to leave their homes, | :23:08. | :23:13. | |
but say about 50% to 60% have been saying no, they don't want to leave | :23:14. | :23:16. | |
their homes, or if they do, they don't want to go to the event -- | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
official centres, they want to stay with friends and family. A lot of | :23:22. | :23:25. | |
people have been staying at their homes, putting sandbags around their | :23:26. | :23:29. | |
homes, maybe moving upstairs, taking carpets and mats and their pets | :23:30. | :23:32. | |
upstairs in case the waters come in. But at the moment it looks like good | :23:33. | :23:37. | |
news for a Great Yarmouth, the waters don't seem to be coming into | :23:38. | :23:38. | |
the town. The daughters of former president | :23:39. | :23:40. | |
George W Bush have written an open letter to Sasha and Malia Obama | :23:41. | :23:43. | |
as they prepare to leave In the letter, Jenna Bush-Hager | :23:44. | :23:46. | |

apologised after it used the topic of child sexual assault in a maths | :24:59. | :25:04. | |
assignment. The Pennsylvania high school based the question around the | :25:05. | :25:07. | |
life of the poet Maya Angelou, asking students to work out who | :25:08. | :25:11. | |
abused her when she was just eight years old. Parents complained that | :25:12. | :25:14. | |
the subject matter was not appropriate for young teenagers. | :25:15. | :25:20. | |
Let's move to space. Two astronauts from the International space centre | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
have been on a spacewalk. They have been upgrading the space station's | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
Power system with new batteries; it took a lot of hours, during that | :25:31. | :25:35. | |
time there was no food, no toilet break and apparently their space | :25:36. | :25:38. | |
suits became increasingly stiff in the vacuum of space. But it seems to | :25:39. | :25:47. | |
have gone well. Thankfully. Well, I am back on Sunday night. That's it | :25:48. | :25:51. | |
from me, we are keeping you up-to-date of course throughout the | :25:52. | :25:54. | |
rest of the day. Goodbye. There will be a comparative look at | :25:55. | :26:09. | |
the weather here in the UK before the top of the hour, but right now | :26:10. | :26:13. | |
whether to take a look at some weather stories from elsewhere | :26:14. | :26:17. | |
around the world. In the United States we got some relatively warm | :26:18. | :26:19. | |
and moist air coming in from | :26:20. | :26:21. |
