500,000 people have fled the area already controlled by the militants. | :03:11. | :03:22. | |
When the sun is shining, it's tempting to want to play | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
outside all day, but research has suggested that sun cream alone is | :03:27. | :03:31. | |

Let me tell you about this, it is not shaving foam, | :04:14. | :04:23. | |
If we have a free kick here, the referee will pace out ten yards, | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
and with his magic can he will mark a line | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
