:02:52.:03:08.

Good evening and welcome to the BBC News At Six. The bill to allow

:03:08.:03:10.

same-sex marriage in England and Wales has returned to the Commons

:03:10.:03:15.

with an impassioned debate on whether it should go through.

:03:15.:03:17.

Conservative opponents are being accused of trying to delay the

:03:17.:03:22.

plans. They are calling for heterosexual couples to have the

:03:22.:03:26.

right to a civil partnership. Now the Government and Labour believe

:03:26.:03:30.

they have reached a deal which will allow gay marriage to become legal.

:03:30.:03:33.

The divisiveness of these he was seen as another challenge to the

:03:33.:03:36.

prime Minster's authority, as political editor Nick Robinson

:03:36.:03:41.

reports. It all now feels a long time ago, a

:03:41.:03:44.

time before their recent troubles. The once happy marriage between

:03:44.:03:49.

David Cameron and the Conservative Party appears to be in very real

:03:50.:03:55.

trouble. Last week's divisive argument about Europe was followed

:03:55.:04:01.

by weekend headlines claiming that a top Tory had dismissed his party's

:04:01.:04:06.

activists as swivel-eyed loons. It was a claim he vehemently denies.

:04:06.:04:09.

Today the arguments focus on a change to what we think of as

:04:09.:04:15.

marriage to allow same-sex couples to wed. The nation is as divided as

:04:15.:04:18.

the Parliamentary party on this. We have picked an issue where we are in

:04:18.:04:22.

touch with the nation by showing our division. So wedding cakes which

:04:22.:04:25.

look like this could soon be joined by those that look a little more

:04:25.:04:29.

like this, an idea which, according to opinion polls, more than half of

:04:29.:04:35.

us are quite relaxed about. We have done cakes and things for couples

:04:35.:04:39.

who are having civil ceremonies, so it doesn't really worry me greatly,

:04:39.:04:44.

you know, if they want equal rights. It may not worry her, but some here

:04:44.:04:49.

in Skipton in Yorkshire are not just worried - they are angry. I have

:04:49.:04:54.

written to my MP, he has indicated he supports this, and I have told I

:04:54.:04:58.

will not be voting Conservative again. I am of the view that I do

:04:58.:05:03.

not agree with it! Tonight, despite that, their local Conservative MP

:05:03.:05:08.

will vote for gay marriage. Representing one of the most rural

:05:08.:05:12.

constituencies in England, I see gay in, day out, gay men and women

:05:12.:05:16.

struggling as they come out and who wants to be recognised in the same

:05:16.:05:20.

way as straight couples, and I believe this legislation, which

:05:20.:05:24.

protects the right of Church is not to conduct marriage, is absolutely

:05:24.:05:31.

the right way for the government to go. Outside the Commons, Christians

:05:31.:05:36.

protested today, but inside there is, in theory, a majority in favour

:05:36.:05:39.

of this historic social change. However, there is scarcely a

:05:40.:05:44.

majority inside the Tory party, almost half of Conservative MPs are

:05:44.:05:47.

threatening to support an amendment tonight which says the change that

:05:48.:05:52.

is really needed is not to marriage but to civil partnerships. This

:05:52.:05:56.

bill, whatever we think about it, introduces a glaring inequality. If

:05:56.:06:01.

it goes through, as I am pretty sure it will, opposite sex couples will

:06:01.:06:04.

only have access to marriage, but same-sex couples would now have

:06:04.:06:08.

access to the new form of marriage and civil partnerships. That is just

:06:08.:06:12.

not fair. In the last hour, Tory ministers under Labour opponents

:06:12.:06:16.

reached an agreement to hold an instant review on civil

:06:16.:06:23.

partnerships, a deal to ensured that the bill goes through. We were

:06:23.:06:26.

worried that either the Government might use civil partnerships as an

:06:26.:06:30.

excuse to wreck the bill or that the Tory backbenchers might use it as an

:06:30.:06:33.

excuse to wreck the bill, and instead we will have progress to

:06:33.:06:38.

make sure it keeps going forward. David Cameron has always insisted he

:06:38.:06:43.

is a great supporter of marriage. The problem he faces is that his

:06:43.:06:46.

relationship with his party is being damaged by his determination to

:06:46.:06:51.

allow gay people to get married. Well, let's pick that up with Nick,

:06:51.:06:56.

who joins me from Westminster. Even if the bill goes through, are you

:06:57.:07:01.

suggesting the Prime Minister's authority is still under threat?

:07:01.:07:06.

so much his authority as his relationship. In theory this is a

:07:06.:07:11.

free vote. Anything that is a vote of conscience is always free in the

:07:11.:07:15.

House of Commons, so there is no actual rebellion here in the sense

:07:15.:07:19.

that Tory MPs are free to vote as they choose. But the truth is he is

:07:19.:07:24.

only getting his way because he knows he can rely on a combination

:07:24.:07:28.

of Conservative ministers, Labour voters and also the Liberal

:07:28.:07:33.

Democrats as well, and that is not a comfortable place to be. What's

:07:33.:07:36.

more, he knows that ploughing on with this legislation is creating

:07:36.:07:40.

another source of real anger amongst his own MPs and amongst his own

:07:40.:07:43.

activists. The truth is the Prime Minister believes he is bringing

:07:43.:07:47.

about an historic social change, something he can be proud of,

:07:47.:07:51.

something different from austerity, but he's doing it at a very high

:07:51.:07:57.

political price to himself. Nick Robinson, political editor,

:07:57.:08:00.

joining us from Westminster. A man and a woman have died in a gas

:08:00.:08:03.

explosion at a house in Nottinghamshire. The property was

:08:03.:08:07.

almost destroyed by the blast, which happened in Newark yesterday

:08:07.:08:10.

afternoon. Four other people were taken to hospital, most have been

:08:10.:08:17.

discharged. Sian Lloyd is in Newark for us this evening.

:08:17.:08:21.

Emergency services are still working at the scene this evening, which

:08:21.:08:26.

remains cordoned off. It is believed that this was a gas explosion, but

:08:26.:08:31.

what caused it is not yet known. Police say tonight that one line of

:08:31.:08:35.

inquiry they are investigating is that the family were carrying out

:08:35.:08:43.

The silence of Sunday afternoon was shattered by an explosion that

:08:43.:08:48.

devastated this terraced house in Wright Street. Inside, two people

:08:48.:08:53.

died. They have been named locally as pensioner Leslie walk and

:08:53.:08:59.

Jeanette Chalke, who was 40. Another man suffered serious injuries and is

:09:00.:09:03.

being treated in hospital stop a further blast ripped through the

:09:03.:09:10.

house next door. The residents were helped to escape by quick thinking

:09:10.:09:16.

neighbours. We smashed the window with a couple of breaks, and I was

:09:16.:09:22.

handed this two-month-old baby. And then finally his mother came out.

:09:22.:09:28.

She had some cuts on her head, all of them were covered in what looked

:09:28.:09:34.

like suit, and we were all in shock. As black smoke filled the air, there

:09:34.:09:38.

was panic and confusion. Local people ran into the street. They

:09:38.:09:42.

were met within minutes by members of the emergency services. When we

:09:42.:09:48.

climbed over the rubble, there was a man coming out, all bleeding,

:09:48.:09:52.

covered in dust, and there was another two other chaps who said,

:09:52.:09:55.

let's get him out. Somebody was shouting, stand back, it is going to

:09:55.:10:00.

go again, the fire was going over the walls and up the house.

:10:00.:10:04.

Specialist teams have been working at the scene all day. They needed to

:10:04.:10:09.

make the property safe before they could recover the body. This is a

:10:09.:10:12.

really hazardous environment. The fire officers are working bravely.

:10:12.:10:21.

Once we have got the body out, we will then take stock and see what we

:10:21.:10:24.

can do in the next phase. This may take a number of days to examine the

:10:24.:10:26.

house. Rescuers who had been searching through the rubble brick

:10:26.:10:30.

by brick have now removed the body from the scene. The explosion,

:10:30.:10:40.
:10:40.:10:41.

thought to have been caused by gas, A former army test pilot is to

:10:41.:10:45.

become the first British astronaut in space for more than 20 years.

:10:45.:10:49.

Major Tim Peak will be sent to the International Space Station for six

:10:49.:10:53.

months in 2015. He says the mission will be less dangerous than his old

:10:53.:10:57.

job. Science editor David Shukman has the story.

:10:57.:11:03.

Meet Major Tim Peak, Britain's first official astronaut, clearly loving

:11:03.:11:07.

the experience of weightlessness. The former army helicopter pilot is

:11:07.:11:10.

used to some pretty unusual training, but nothing is tougher

:11:10.:11:16.

than space, and there is a lot to learn. Tim has been selected... At

:11:16.:11:21.

the Science Museum in London, something no British minister has

:11:21.:11:25.

ever done before, announced that �16 million of Government money will put

:11:25.:11:30.

a British astronaut in orbit. He cannot wait to get there. I don't

:11:30.:11:33.

think I need to tell you I am delighted with his decision. It was

:11:33.:11:39.

an honour to be selected in 2009 as an astronaut candidate, as a British

:11:39.:11:43.

citizen, but it really is a true privilege to be assigned to a long

:11:43.:11:49.

duration mission. The first British person in space was Helen Sharman in

:11:49.:11:54.

1991, but her trip lasted just a week and was privately funded.

:11:54.:11:58.

Others became American citizens to fly. Now the Government has cleared

:11:58.:12:04.

the way for Tim Peake. His launch will come in November 2015 on a

:12:04.:12:09.

Russian Soyuz rocket. That will be the start of a six-month stay on

:12:09.:12:12.

board the International Space Station. There he will be using zero

:12:12.:12:16.

gravity conditions for medical experiments and other research, and

:12:16.:12:21.

inspiration, ministers hope. People talk about the Apollo programme

:12:21.:12:24.

where a whole generation of Americans went on to study science

:12:24.:12:28.

because of the excitement, and I hope this mission will encourage a

:12:28.:12:36.

generation of British schoolkids and college students. The big hope is

:12:36.:12:39.

that Britain's space industries will get a boost. Here at this laboratory

:12:39.:12:43.

they are building cameras for the space station. New contracts mean

:12:43.:12:49.

more jobs. This work, which has gone largely unnoticed, is now worth �9

:12:49.:12:53.

billion a year, and the government is now seeing the potential of that.

:12:53.:12:56.

Getting a British astronaut up into orbit is meant to raise the profile

:12:56.:13:06.
:13:06.:13:09.

Tom... Meanwhile, Chris Hadfield fuelled new interest with his

:13:09.:13:13.

version of David Bowie's space oddity. What song will you cover?

:13:13.:13:17.

do play the guitar, actually, I had the pleasure of playing with Chris

:13:18.:13:23.

before we launched, but I play very badly, I would not be singing!

:13:23.:13:26.

Training in a range of very different situations lies ahead

:13:26.:13:34.

liftoff in two years. A place in the history books.

:13:34.:13:39.

The radical cleric Abu Qatada has once again been denied bail as he

:13:39.:13:43.

awaits deportation to Jordan. Lawyers for the terror suspect said

:13:43.:13:53.
:13:53.:14:09.

he had been deprived of his liberty more than any other non-convicted

:14:09.:14:11.

person in British history. Tom Symonds joins us now from the

:14:11.:14:21.
:14:21.:14:53.

Special Immigration Appeals lead to his deportation will be

:14:53.:14:57.

discussed shortly at the Jordanian parliament, one of the hurdles which

:14:57.:15:07.
:15:07.:15:08.

has to be jumped before he is deported. Tom, thank you. Police

:15:08.:15:11.

have searched an MP's office in Parliament as part of an

:15:11.:15:13.

investigation into what's been described as a serious arrestable

:15:13.:15:16.

offence. The BBC understands it's the office of Deputy Speaker, Nigel

:15:16.:15:19.

Evans, who was questioned earlier this month over sexual allegations

:15:19.:15:23.

made by two men. He denies the claims. A British man has appeared

:15:23.:15:26.

in court in France suspected of murdering his two children in a flat

:15:26.:15:29.

in Lyon. Julian Stevenson, who is 47, is accused of killing his

:15:29.:15:33.

ten-year-old son Matthew and daughter Carla who was five. He is

:15:33.:15:36.

alleged to have fled the scene on roller skates but was later captured

:15:36.:15:43.

by police. Christian Fraser reports. On his way into court this

:15:43.:15:48.

afternoon, his head covered by a blanket. Julian Stevenson was a man

:15:48.:15:51.

so enraged by the custody battle he had lost, he betrayed every instinct

:15:51.:15:58.

a father should have. His children, ten-year-old Matthew and

:15:58.:16:00.

five-year-old Carla were found dead on a balcony of this apartment

:16:00.:16:06.

block. He had attacked them with a knife.

door to you, it's more difficult. I have got four children, I can't

think about what happened. It is scary. When his wife collected on

Saturday evening, he was standing in the stairwell, his clothes

:16:23.:16:28.

splattered with blood. Neighbours said he fled down this street on

rollerblades but was arrested in the city centre. He confessed he killed

:16:31.:16:35.

them and police that he blamed his divorce. Friends say there was a

:16:35.:16:42.

history of domestic violence and drink and since 2010, his visiting

:16:42.:16:44.

rights had been curtailed. This was the first weekend he had been

:16:44.:16:48.

granted unrestricted access. But why? And who gave him that

:16:48.:16:53.

authority? For now, you will be held on suspicion of secondary murder and

:16:53.:16:56.

the prosecutor says it can't prove was premeditated but that might

change, he said, the more they uncover through ongoing police

interviews. Our top story this evening. As gay marriage is debated

:17:10.:17:13.

in Parliament, the Government and Labour try to reach a deal that'll

:17:13.:17:17.

allow it to become legal in England and Wales. Coming up. Welcome gnome.

:17:17.:17:20.

The ornaments make their debut at the Chelsea Flower Show complete

:17:20.:17:27.

with celebrity endorsement. I spent a lot of time making my gnome look

:17:27.:17:31.

as nice as possible but, in a discreet way, quite chic and

:17:31.:17:39.

esoteric. In sport today, the doping scandal of the Godolphin Stadium

:17:39.:17:49.
:17:49.:17:58.

widens as seven horses test positive West struggle, many of Africa's

:17:58.:18:00.

developing nations are continuing to grow. Production across the

:18:00.:18:04.

continent is expected to go up by 5% this year. And Ethiopia, once known

:18:04.:18:07.

for periods of drought and famine, has been growing at an average of

:18:07.:18:13.

8.7% for the past five years. Well, Africa's leaders are preparing to

:18:13.:18:16.

meet in the capital Addis Ababa for the 50th anniversary of the African

:18:16.:18:19.

Union later this week. George Alagiah is there with the first in a

:18:19.:18:29.
:18:29.:18:31.

series of special reports. Thank you, yes, good evening from Addis

:18:31.:18:35.

Ababa. That summit will take place in the shining building behind me.

:18:35.:18:39.

No one is saying, of course, there are not problems in Africa. In the

:18:39.:18:43.

last few days, the BBC has reported on the threat from extremists in

:18:43.:18:49.

Nigeria and there is the continuing violence in Congo. That said, five

:18:49.:18:54.

of the fastest-growing economies in the world are here in Africa. And,

:18:54.:18:58.

Ethiopian is on the vanguard. Still, the country of the largest recipient

:18:58.:19:02.

of British aid but as I have been finding out, it's no longer a matter

:19:02.:19:08.

of just food handouts. Forget what you thought you knew about

:19:08.:19:12.

Ethiopian. And take a look at this. It is the cocktail hour. The bright

:19:13.:19:17.

young things in downtown Addis Ababa can look forward to a future their

:19:17.:19:22.

parents could only dream of. Nowhere is the change in the country's

:19:22.:19:26.

prospects more obvious than the commodities exchange. The first on

:19:26.:19:30.

the continent. I was given the honour of kicking off the day's

:19:30.:19:36.

trading. Hands which might once have reached out for help on signalling

:19:36.:19:41.

deals worth nearly �700 million a year. The exchange has cut the

:19:41.:19:48.

middlemen, making farmers better off for the British aid helps it up.

:19:48.:19:52.

need to help them unleash their own entrepreneurs, to create their own

:19:52.:19:56.

wealth, that, in time, means that they will have a tax base which

:19:56.:20:00.

funds their own basic services. That's how you create sustainable

:20:00.:20:03.

economies and the future for these countries, where they are no longer

:20:03.:20:12.

dependent on aid. Ethiopian is the home of Coffey and this family have

:20:12.:20:17.

been exporting raw beans for three generations. But they say the real

:20:17.:20:20.

money is made abroad. In the roasting. What's wrong with

:20:20.:20:25.

exporting just this? Nothing, with exporting the green beans, but the

:20:25.:20:33.

larger portion will be retained outside. More money made by

:20:33.:20:37.

foreigners? Correct. That's about to change. The company has just taken

:20:37.:20:40.

delivery of this new roasting machine. Coping with the expansion

:20:40.:20:46.

will mean doubling the workforce. soon as this operational we should

:20:46.:20:50.

have ten times the capacity we currently have. When this plant is

:20:51.:20:55.

up and running, the company will become the first large-scale

:20:55.:21:01.

exporter of roasted coffee from Ethiopian. Foreign investment

:21:01.:21:06.

including the stake taken by the British taxpayer has been crucial.

:21:06.:21:10.

On the outskirts of the capital, this small-scale factory is making a

:21:10.:21:18.

big name for itself. The governments guarded transition from Marx to the

:21:18.:21:22.

market has created new space for private sector. The company now has

:21:22.:21:28.

outlets around the world. We have massive opportunities in Ethiopian

:21:28.:21:33.

and are paying five times what other companies are paying in the same

:21:33.:21:39.

industry and we are empowering the people around here. Success stories

:21:39.:21:43.

like this have helped Ethiopian notch up double-digit growth figures

:21:43.:21:48.

for much of the last decade. But there is a catch. This is an economy

:21:49.:21:55.

starting from a very low base. And it has a long way to go. It's worth

:21:55.:21:59.

stressing that I have been concentrating on the economy where

:21:59.:22:03.

there is a good story to tell about Ethiopian. But there are other areas

:22:03.:22:08.

such as the governments human rights record with their are plenty of

:22:09.:22:11.

concerns. For more on this week's coverage from Africa, you can go to

:22:11.:22:19.

the website. Tomorrow we will be looking at Ghana but for now, it's

:22:19.:22:28.

back to you. George, thank you. The Church of Scotland has just voted to

:22:28.:22:30.

allow gay people in civil partnerships, to become parish

:22:30.:22:32.

priests. The Church's General Assembly meeting in Edinburgh has

:22:33.:22:36.

agreed the plan which allow parishes to choose a gay minister if they

:22:36.:22:38.

wish. Our religious affairs correspondent, Robert Pigott is in

:22:38.:22:45.

Edinburgh for us. Well, a boat like this would have

:22:45.:22:49.

been unthinkable until recently in the Church of Scotland's history --

:22:49.:22:52.

vote. It's always been a bastion of conservative teaching on public

:22:52.:22:57.

morals and now at the end of a century long prohibition on acts of

:22:57.:22:59.

homosexuality. I think the effect of this will be felt far beyond the

:22:59.:23:04.

boundaries of Scotland. After passionate debate, a momentous

:23:05.:23:10.

decision. A step unthinkable until recently, the General Assembly

:23:10.:23:14.

declared for the first time that active homosexuality was allowable.

:23:14.:23:19.

A decision which could change the church forever. Delegates known as

:23:19.:23:22.

commissioners faced a stark choice about how to deal with an issue

:23:22.:23:28.

which is shown its power to split churches apart. Liberal conjugations

:23:28.:23:31.

set of Saint Andrews and Saint Georges West in Edinburgh backed a

:23:31.:23:35.

proposal to give parishes the freedom to choose actively gay

:23:36.:23:39.

ministers in civil partnerships. They had powerful support in the

:23:39.:23:47.

assembly. I accepted in this church, or am I not because I'm a gay woman?

:23:47.:23:54.

It undermines my very core, it undermines my place with God.

:23:54.:23:58.

many in the church insist active homosexuality is sinful, against the

:23:58.:24:04.

teaching of the Bible itself. Bible does not anywhere endorse

:24:04.:24:10.

same-sex activity as pleasing to God. We're not talking about

:24:10.:24:15.

orientation here. That's different. We are talking about same-sex sexual

:24:15.:24:21.

activity. The heart and Soul Festival in Edinburgh yesterday

:24:21.:24:25.

presented a lively and confident Church of Scotland. Its rank and

:24:25.:24:29.

file are deeply divided about homosexuality and they are also

:24:29.:24:33.

susceptible to attitudes in wider Scottish society. Increasingly

:24:33.:24:37.

focused on secular values such as equality. I think it's a good thing

:24:37.:24:42.

because it shows how society is move forward. It's teaching the word of

:24:42.:24:48.

God, they can't betray what the Bible says. It will influence other

:24:48.:24:52.

churches. The Church of England is currently reviewing its policy which

:24:52.:24:56.

allows clergy to have civil partnerships but requires them to be

:24:56.:24:59.

celibate. Many other churches currently tackling this most

:24:59.:25:05.

intractable of issues. A decision of this magnitude will have to be

:25:05.:25:09.

farmed out to the regional churches and they could veto it but it's

:25:09.:25:12.

questionable how long they will want to resist what is clearly the

:25:12.:25:17.

governing body of the church putt opinion. People will look back

:25:17.:25:27.
:25:27.:25:27.

tonight at the moment the church changed. Robert, thank you. Now as

:25:27.:25:30.

hardy perennials go, they don't come much more enduring that the Chelsea

:25:30.:25:33.

Flower Show which this year celebrates 100 years of gardening

:25:33.:25:35.

excellence. Our Royal Correspondent, Luisa Baldini is there for us.

:25:35.:25:41.

Luisa. You don't need to be green fingered to appreciate what a

:25:41.:25:46.

success story the Chelsea Flower Show is. 100 years on, and it is

:25:46.:25:50.

still going strong. Yes, it's a traditional event, conservative with

:25:50.:25:54.

a small sea, but there always seems to be an element of surprise for the

:25:54.:26:01.

non-traditionalists as well. It has been a fixture of the British summer

:26:01.:26:05.

for ten decades. And has had the royal seal of approval ever since

:26:05.:26:10.

the first show in 1913. COMMENTATOR: The Duke and Duchess of

:26:10.:26:19.

York is amongst the early visitors. Generations have visited the show.

:26:19.:26:22.

This was 1936, and it's just as public with the public and this year

:26:22.:26:27.

is a sellout. Showing for the first time is a garden for Prince Harry's

:26:27.:26:31.

charity. These forget-me-nots garden represents a loss of Harry's

:26:31.:26:38.

mother, Princess Diana, as well as the African country of little too.

:26:38.:26:43.

He's terribly excited about it. When he was at camp bastion, I had sent

:26:43.:26:48.

everything over. He knew everything about it and said, why didn't you

:26:48.:26:53.

send more? This reflects the changing tastes in gardens over the

:26:53.:26:56.

years and includes three companies which exhibited plants at the first

:26:56.:27:03.

Chelsea. And for the first time in Chelsea's history, garden gnomes are

:27:03.:27:06.

being allowed. The celebrity decorated characters are being

:27:06.:27:12.

auctioned to raise money for young gardeners. What were your thoughts

:27:12.:27:17.

on decorating this? This represents blue and red lines, slowly falling,

:27:17.:27:22.

cascading if you will, down a garden gnome, who not just has green

:27:22.:27:28.

fingered green hands. I like that. Where you good at art at school?

:27:28.:27:33.

don't you make up your own mind? Draw your own conclusions by looking

:27:33.:27:37.

at that. I spent a lot of time making my garden gnome look as nice

:27:37.:27:43.

as possible, but he's a little bit chic but also EISA Tarik. Mine is

:27:43.:27:48.

called the gene known. When I painted it, I realised I did the GE

:27:48.:27:54.

completely wrong. I'm a little bit dyslexic, so it wasn't quite right.

:27:54.:27:57.

Garden gnomes shouldn't get too comfortable in the genteel

:27:57.:28:03.

surroundings of Chelsea, though. The ban on them and other brightly

:28:03.:28:09.

coloured mythical creatures will be back in force next year. The Queen

:28:09.:28:14.

arrived a short time ago. She has already been to see this Australian

:28:14.:28:21.

themed garden and she is currently being shown around the centre garden

:28:21.:28:26.

by her grandson, Prince Harry, and tomorrow is when it opens to the

:28:26.:28:32.

public for the duration of five days. Thank you. Is it good weather

:28:33.:28:42.

for gardeners? Time for a look at frost. The weather is on the change

:28:42.:28:48.

once again. The cloud melting away through the afternoon. Some unseen

:28:48.:28:52.

storm clouds building up. South-east Scotland in particular, some lively

:28:52.:28:58.

storms developing through the second of today. Have a Met office amber

:28:58.:29:02.

warning in place across south-east Scotland at the moment. Intense

:29:02.:29:06.

downpours, rumbles of thunder and some halo. You can see how those

:29:06.:29:11.

storms been pushing southward and eastwards. Now working into the

:29:11.:29:15.

Borders. They will track southward and Eastwood and maybe get into

:29:15.:29:18.

Northumberland during this evening. Elsewhere, one or two showers

:29:18.:29:24.
