New laws so you can find out just how much information

:00:00.:00:08.

From social media - to online shoppping and loyalty cards -

:00:09.:00:12.

companies will be forced to reveal what they know

:00:13.:00:14.

It will give more control and more power to consumers and citizens

:00:15.:00:22.

to have a say on how their personal data is being used.

:00:23.:00:27.

People will also be able to ask companies to delete personal data -

:00:28.:00:30.

We'll be asking how effective it will be?

America flexes its military muscles as North Korea says tough

new sanctions won't stop it developing its nuclear programme.

:00:38.:00:42.

Why are women struggling to have children finding it increasingly

:00:43.:00:45.

difficult to get IVF treatment on the NHS in England?

:00:46.:00:50.

It is hugely unfair, it deals a crushing blow

:00:51.:00:52.

to people who are already at a significant life low.

:00:53.:00:56.

We hear from the 20-year-old British model who says she was kidnapped,

:00:57.:00:59.

drugged and held for nearly a week in Italy.

or face the threat of big fines. This is clearly going to create a

:04:19.:04:27.

lot of work for the companies involved but why is it happening

:04:28.:04:31.

now? It is happening now because last year the European Union agreed

:04:32.:04:36.

a massive new data protection law, the general data protection

:04:37.:04:41.

regulation and Britain is effectively cutting and pasting that

:04:42.:04:45.

and putting it into UK law. We could have decided to go our own way and

:04:46.:04:49.

do something different but the government has looked at what is a

:04:50.:04:52.

gold rush in the use of data right now and it has become a very

:04:53.:04:55.

valuable resource and it wants companies to be able to trade freely

the EU is doing, but it means lots of work for organisations big and

:07:41.:07:42.

of people would die. But they also say the best

:07:43.:07:46.

way of stopping it happening is to be ready,

:07:47.:07:50.

and that's why these guys practise and practise and practise,

calculates correctly and realises that, so obviously everyone

on this side, and I believe North Korea does as well,

:08:08.:08:09.

no one wants war. Should deterrence fail, though,

:08:10.:08:15.

we have to be ready to go. As these A10s roll down the runway

:08:16.:08:28.

for another practice flight, they're just 48 miles

from the North Korean border. The same distance as

London to Brighton. And South Korea, the enemy,

is never far away. Rupert Wingfield-Hayes, BBC News,

:08:36.:08:39.

Osan Airbase, South Korea. Couples struggling to start a family

:08:40.:08:44.

face a postcode lottery when trying That's according to the charity

:08:45.:08:46.

Fertility Network UK, which says that in several areas,

:08:47.:08:54.

there's been a cut in the number of IVF cycles offered or a reduction

:08:55.:08:57.

in the age at which women qualify Since the start of the year,

:08:58.:09:01.

IVF treatment has been halted Richard and Terry know all about the

:09:02.:09:16.

emotional highs and lows. They were allowed one round of IVF through the

:09:17.:09:20.

NHS which failed. They then had to go private for the next one and

:09:21.:09:25.

their baby son was born. So they experienced the joy of parenthood,

:09:26.:09:29.

though Richard feels it was unfair that while they had to pay others in

:09:30.:09:33.

neighbouring areas would get more than one free IVF cycle. We know how

:09:34.:09:38.

it feels to have a happen to you and that's why we think it's absolutely

:09:39.:09:43.

outrageous that the postcode lottery for IVF treatment even exists,

:09:44.:09:48.

because it is hugely unfair, it deals a crushing blow to people who

:09:49.:09:53.

are already at a significant life low. Health regulators say the NHS

:09:54.:09:57.

should provide up to three cycles of IVF for women aged up to 40.

:09:58.:10:03.

The latest figures compiled by fertility campaigners highlight the

:10:04.:10:07.

extent of the IVF lottery. Of the local commissioning groups who pay

:10:08.:10:11.

for health care in England, 129, more than half, now offer just one

:10:12.:10:16.

cycle of IVF and five areas in the Southeast including Croydon and

:10:17.:10:20.

parts of Essex and Norfolk don't offer any. The NHS in Scotland,

:10:21.:10:25.

meanwhile, offers three cycles to women who need it up to the age of

:10:26.:10:31.

40. In Wales, women can expect two rounds of treatment, while in

:10:32.:10:34.

Northern Ireland it's just one for those who are eligible.

:10:35.:10:37.

Some doctors in the field argue there is too much variation and that

:10:38.:10:43.

some NHS managers are ignoring national guidelines drawn up by

:10:44.:10:45.

regulators. They recommended three cycles of IVF

:10:46.:10:50.

treatment, full cycles for couples or individuals who need fertility

:10:51.:10:54.

treatment. The fact this has not been taken up across the country is

:10:55.:10:59.

a scandal, quite frankly. In some areas they are cutting the

:11:00.:11:04.

upper age limit from 40. This Bristol couple's baby son was born

:11:05.:11:09.

after IVF on the NHS, but under new plans in the area they wouldn't have

:11:10.:11:13.

qualified as only women aged between 30 and 35 will be eligible. Local

:11:14.:11:17.

health chiefs know that is out of line with the regulator's view, but

:11:18.:11:22.

they say money is tight. The guidelines are there as guidelines

:11:23.:11:26.

and I think the NHS budget is under tough times. I think we need to

:11:27.:11:35.

think of how best we spent the money, so of course the amount of

:11:36.:11:37.

money we get relates to how much money we spend. There is intense

:11:38.:11:40.

financial pressure on the NHS, commissioners say there are not dumb

A brief look at some of the day's other news stories.

:11:56.:11:58.

Police have named a one-year-old girl who died when a car hit a wall

:11:59.:12:02.

in Merthyr Tydfil as Pearl Melody Black.

:12:03.:12:05.

She was killed yesterday after an unoccupied Range Rover

:12:06.:12:07.

Her parents described her as "the brightest of stars"

:12:08.:12:12.

and said her death had left "a massive hole" in their hearts.

:12:13.:12:16.

A British woman is recovering in hospital after being shot in Brazil.

:12:17.:12:19.

Eloise Dixon from South London was driving with her partner

:12:20.:12:22.

and three children when they took a wrong turn into an area

:12:23.:12:24.

She was shot twice but is now stable after undergoing surgery.

:12:25.:12:31.

The Food Standards Agency says a "very small" number of eggs

:12:32.:12:34.

from European farms at the centre of a contamination scare have been

:12:35.:12:37.

The risk to public health is described as "very low".

:12:38.:12:42.

Millions of eggs have been withdrawn from shops and warehouses

:12:43.:12:44.

Tesco will stop selling 5p carrier bags at the end of the month.

:12:45.:12:52.

After that, the supermarket will only offer "bags

:12:53.:12:54.

Tesco says that despite the Government clamping down on free

:12:55.:13:03.

single-use bags in 2015, it still sells 700

:13:04.:13:06.

It's hoped the move will encourage shoppers to re-use more bags.

:13:07.:13:10.

The Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has condemned the violence in Venezuela,

:13:11.:13:13.

but stopped short of criticising the country's president,

:13:14.:13:17.

Nicolas Maduro, who he has expressed support for in the past.

:13:18.:13:22.

More than 100 people have died in anti-government

:13:23.:13:24.

protests in Venezuela over the past few months.

:13:25.:13:28.

Now, Mr Corbyn is facing calls to publicly criticise

:13:29.:13:30.

Our political correspondent Vicki Young reports.

:13:31.:13:35.

Back from holiday and back on the campaign trail.

:13:36.:13:38.

Jeremy Corbyn says he and his party were written off

:13:39.:13:41.

He hopes this summer tour of Britain will build on the progress made

:13:42.:13:47.

at the election and he will focus once again on public services.

:13:48.:13:50.

It's no good congratulating firefighters, paramedics,

:13:51.:13:55.

police officers, for running into a burning building as they did

:13:56.:13:59.

at Grenfell Tower and then deny them the proper reward of decent wages

:14:00.:14:02.

Pay them properly and fund the services properly.

:14:03.:14:14.

Mr Corbyn insists he's the only leader offering

:14:15.:14:16.

The next general election is not due for almost five years

:14:17.:14:22.

but Westminster's been a volatile place recently and Jeremy Corbyn

:14:23.:14:25.

says he wants to be ready for the unexpected.

:14:26.:14:29.

Labour's identified dozens of seats where they believe they can beat

:14:30.:14:33.

the Conservatives next time around and officials say Mr Corbyn is now

:14:34.:14:36.

But it's events thousands of miles away in Venezuela that some want

:14:37.:14:43.

A disputed vote has given President Maduro's ruling

:14:44.:14:50.

Violent protests have left over 100 dead.

:14:51.:14:59.

In the past, Mr Corbyn has voiced support for Mr Maduro, even phoning

:15:00.:15:02.

What I condemn is the violence that has been done by any side,

:15:03.:15:14.

Violence is not going to solve the issue.

:15:15.:15:21.

The issues in Venezuela are partly structural because not enough has

:15:22.:15:23.

been done to diversify the economy away from oil.

:15:24.:15:25.

That has to be a priority for the future.

:15:26.:15:27.

But critics say Mr Corbyn needs to go much further than that.

:15:28.:15:30.

Well, I would hope he would first of all condemn completely

:15:31.:15:35.

the dictatorial tendencies of the regime and then accept that

:15:36.:15:41.

what was seen ten or 15 years ago as a kind of role model has actually

:15:42.:15:45.

failed, let alone apply that kind of system to the UK.

:15:46.:15:50.

The Labour leader is back where he feels comfortable,

:15:51.:15:52.

Over the next few weeks, though, his aim is to win over those

:15:53.:15:58.

who voted Conservative two months ago.

:15:59.:16:00.

A 20-year-old British model, who says she was kidnapped and held

:16:01.:16:10.

for nearly a week in Italy, has returned to the UK.

:16:11.:16:12.

Chloe Ayling says she feared for her life.

:16:13.:16:15.

Italian police believe the model was attacked and drugged,

:16:16.:16:18.

before attempts were made to sell her in an online auction.

:16:19.:16:24.

A Polish man who lives in the UK has been arrested.

:16:25.:16:26.

Held captive inside this isolated Italian farmhouse,

:16:27.:16:31.

the bizarre and elaborate kidnap allegation centres on how

:16:32.:16:34.

20-year-old model Chloe Ayling, from south London, was duped

:16:35.:16:39.

into leaving the UK for a photoshoot in Milan.

:16:40.:16:41.

Once inside this fake studio, she is said to have been snatched

:16:42.:16:45.

by three men and injected with the drug ketamine.

:16:46.:16:49.

Unconscious, she was bundled into this bag, placed in the boot

:16:50.:16:52.

While Chloe Ayling was held captive in this house behind me,

:16:53.:16:57.

the police statement says she was tied to furniture,

:16:58.:17:00.

a chest of drawers, whilst the kidnappers tried

:17:01.:17:03.

to sell her on the dark web, and then raise a ransom.

:17:04.:17:07.

Three weeks ago, Chloe Ayling finally fled her captors but stayed

:17:08.:17:10.

She is back in the UK and the details are only

:17:11.:17:15.

I've been through a terrifying experience.

:17:16.:17:19.

I feared for my life second by second, minute

:17:20.:17:21.

I am incredibly grateful to the Italian and UK authorities

:17:22.:17:25.

for all they have done to secure my safe release.

:17:26.:17:28.

Italian authorities say she was freed after being driven

:17:29.:17:31.

to the British Consulate in Milan by this man, Lukasz Herba,

:17:32.:17:34.

a Polish national living in the West Midlands,

:17:35.:17:35.

now charged with kidnap and extortion offences.

:17:36.:17:40.

But there are conflicting reports about this case,

:17:41.:17:43.

why Chloe was seen shopping with her captor

:17:44.:17:45.

She was told that she was going to be sold to somebody

:17:46.:17:50.

She was told that people were there, watching her and ready

:17:51.:17:58.

So she thought that the best idea was to go along

:17:59.:18:05.

with it and to be nice, in a way, to her captor,

:18:06.:18:12.

because he told her that he wanted to release her somehow and sometime.

:18:13.:18:17.

Milan, the world's fashion capital, has always been a draw for aspiring

:18:18.:18:21.

models and unscrupulous agents are not uncommon, although this rare

:18:22.:18:25.

case has shocked and baffled Italian and British police,

:18:26.:18:28.

now working to piece together exacted what happened.

The Speaker of the South African parliament has announced that

:18:34.:18:39.

tomorrow's vote of no confidence in the country's President,

:18:40.:18:42.

Jacob Zuma, will be held by secret ballot.

:18:43.:18:47.

The opposition have called for the vote to be held in secret,

:18:48.:18:52.

She said her decision had been taken to ensure a credible outcome.

:18:53.:18:58.

Protesters outside Parliament welcomed the announcement. Mr Zuma

:18:59.:19:01.

has been implicated in several corruption scandals.

:19:02.:19:03.

Sickle cell disease is the most common and fastest growing genetic

:19:04.:19:06.

The NHS says the condition, which can cause extreme pain

:19:07.:19:11.

and life-threatening infections, affects 15,000 people in Britain,

:19:12.:19:13.

mainly people of African, Asian and Mediterranean origin.

:19:14.:19:16.

More than 300 babies are born each year with the condition.

:19:17.:19:19.

Children living with sickle cell are several hundred times more

:19:20.:19:22.

But experimental therapy could bring a glimmer of hope.

:19:32.:19:41.

But with sickle cell disease, that fun can come with a world of pain.

:19:42.:19:48.

I mostly have abdominal pain on my right or my left side.

:19:49.:19:54.

It feels like a needle is inside your stomach.

:19:55.:19:58.

So then you don't want to do anything, you just want to have,

:19:59.:20:06.

you just want to rest and hope it goes away.

:20:07.:20:10.

Come for your medication, sweetheart.

:20:11.:20:15.

Around 300 children are born with sickle cell every year

:20:16.:20:19.

and a stroke is more than 300 times more common in a child

:20:20.:20:22.

That's one of the worries for Matthew's mum, who's been

:20:23.:20:27.

dealing with his illness since he was six months old.

:20:28.:20:31.

He's a little fighter, like I always said.

:20:32.:20:35.

You know, it is emotionally breaking him down.

:20:36.:20:44.

In a healthy person, red blood cells are usually smooth and round.

:20:45.:20:51.

But when you have sickle cell, some cells are abnormally shaped.

:20:52.:20:58.

They are stiff and sticky and can clump together.

:20:59.:21:03.

That then blocks blood flow, restricting oxygen

:21:04.:21:07.

20-year-old university student Daniel has survived five strokes

:21:08.:21:13.

I couldn't push myself to do anything, even if I tried.

:21:14.:21:24.

So I just sort of stayed in bed and then I think my mum found

:21:25.:21:28.

She lifted up my hand and it would completely drop down,

:21:29.:21:33.

The next thing I remember is just my brother carrying

:21:34.:21:38.

So what hope is there for Daniel, Matthew, and thousands of others?

:21:39.:21:43.

Doctors are hopeful that gene therapy will eventually

:21:44.:21:45.

But it is still in the early stages of development and there are talks

:21:46.:21:54.

The exciting thing that's happened recently is that one child in France

:21:55.:21:58.

has been successfully treated with gene therapy, where the bone

:21:59.:22:02.

marrow is taken from the child and then the bone marrow is repaired

:22:03.:22:05.

But it is hopeful that, having done it successfully once,

:22:06.:22:11.

this will then expand quite quickly to be more widely available.

:22:12.:22:14.

For Matthew, those are hopes to hold onto for a chance of a healthy life.

:22:15.:22:18.

Cricket now and England have won the fourth and final Test

:22:19.:22:26.

against South Africa at Old Trafford.

:22:27.:22:27.

They won by 177 runs, meaning they win the series 3-1.

:22:28.:22:30.

Patrick Gearey reports from Old Trafford.

:22:31.:22:35.

Day four, the morning after the downpour before.

:22:36.:22:38.

Hard to predict how long Old Trafford would stay dry

:22:39.:22:44.

but England knew one day like this that's clear could see them right.

:22:45.:22:47.

Last orders for South Africa in this series.

:22:48.:22:50.

Rain offered them temporary protection but when it cleared,

:22:51.:22:54.

Heino Kuhn and Temba Bavuma could also sit down early for lunch.

:22:55.:22:59.

But in Hashim Amla, South Africa have a rare endurance batsman.

:23:00.:23:03.

For a while, England could see no way past him

:23:04.:23:06.

He was safe if his bat had touched the ball.

:23:07.:23:11.

The third umpire thought it hadn't - out.

:23:12.:23:14.

Was that the moment South Africa knew they were done?

:23:15.:23:17.

De Kock, De Bruyne, departed, sent on their way by Moeen Ali.

:23:18.:23:21.

Captain Du Plessis could only watch and eventually follow.

:23:22.:23:23.

The game was finished by the Man of the Match

:23:24.:23:28.

It had taken a while but it was now looking like a beautiful day.

:23:29.:23:35.

So all done before tomorrow's predicted rain.

:23:36.:23:37.

England are not perfect but Joe Root's first series

:23:38.:23:40.

as captain has finished with an impressive win

:23:41.:23:42.

and with the Ashes coming, Australia will have been watching.

:23:43.:23:48.

It's the start of something. It's going to take time to develop.

:23:49.:23:51.

If we want to be more consistent and make sure that we, you know,

:23:52.:23:58.

we keep challenging the best teams in the world, then we are going

:23:59.:24:01.

to have to continue to look to improve and develop individually

:24:02.:24:03.

Will this be the side that faces Australia in Brisbane?

:24:04.:24:10.

But they have just lifted above them in the world rankings.

:24:11.:24:13.

Athletics, and a frustrating day for Team GB.

:24:14.:24:24.

At the World Championships, short on ago, Laura Muir agonisingly missed

:24:25.:24:28.

out on a medal in the women's 1500 metres.

:24:29.:24:30.

Earlier, Sophie Hitchon finished seventh in the women's hammer.

:24:31.:24:33.

From the London Stadium, Natalie Pirks reports.

:24:34.:24:37.

Scotland's very own Laura Muir, running for Great Britain. The odds

:24:38.:24:43.

and talented field were stacked against her. Britain has never had a

:24:44.:24:48.

champion in the women's's 1500 metres so going out hard and fast

:24:49.:24:52.

was the clear decision. Only one tactic here, run for gold. But the

:24:53.:24:57.

second lap was slow, giving others the chance to get in the game. On

:24:58.:25:02.

the bell, Laura Muir made her move. With grit and determination etched

:25:03.:25:05.

on her face, she dug deep with bronze well within her grasp the

:25:06.:25:11.

final straight but from nowhere, 800 metres specialist Caster Semenya

:25:12.:25:14.

found speed and perfect timing to snatch it away. 0.07 seconds

:25:15.:25:21.

separated Laura Muir from her first global medal. I gave it everything I

:25:22.:25:25.

could but the last 15 metres, I tied up and before I knew it, she went

:25:26.:25:29.

past me but I gave everything I could. I think considering the

:25:30.:25:33.

disruptions I've had this year, you know, I gave it all I could and that

:25:34.:25:38.

was all I could do. Sophie Hitchon's jubilation at her surprise bronze in

:25:39.:25:42.

Rio was one of the highlights of the Games and the former ballerina got

:25:43.:25:45.

off to a great start in the hammock age. But Poland's Anita Wlodarczyk

:25:46.:25:51.

was setting the gold standard and Sophie Hitchon's Forth throw went

:25:52.:25:57.

nowhere. She never recovered. British tears are unfortunately

:25:58.:25:59.

becoming a familiar image at these championships. Could not quite find

:26:00.:26:06.

the rhythm I had in qualification. I knew I was in better shape and just

:26:07.:26:12.

disappointed. Not producing it tonight. World record-holder and

:26:13.:26:16.

Olympic 400 metres champion Wayde van Niekerk is attempting to emulate

:26:17.:26:19.

Michael Johnson this week by doubling up in the 400 and 200

:26:20.:26:24.

metres. It means he will race six times in six days. With no Usain

:26:25.:26:31.

Bolt in the 200, there will be a new world champion but there are a

:26:32.:26:36.

number of British athletes hoping to crash the party. Daniel Talbot

:26:37.:26:38.

tracked Wayde van Niekerk all the way in the first heat to make it

:26:39.:26:42.

through to Wednesday's semifinal and Zharnel Hughes made it through as a

:26:43.:26:46.

fastest loser. The trio is completed by Mitchell Blake, Britain's second

:26:47.:26:51.

fastest 200 metres runner of all time. Natalie Pirks, BBC News at the

:26:52.:26:54.

Let's speak to our Sports Editor Dan Roan, who's at the London Stadium.

:26:55.:27:01.

Desperately disappointing for Laura Muir. She was so close and it has

:27:02.:27:08.

been a frustrating day the Team GB. It has, ever since Laura Muir broke

:27:09.:27:13.

Kelly Holmes' British 1500 metres record, she's been regarded as the

:27:14.:27:16.

best chance the country has of a medal, outside of Sir Mo Farah.

:27:17.:27:22.

She's had a fantastic breakthrough season, especially indoors, the

:27:23.:27:26.

24-year-old Scottish athlete but in truth, she was always up against it

:27:27.:27:32.

a highly competitive field in the 1500 final. Faith Kipyegon, as you

:27:33.:27:37.

saw in the report, she won the race and Caster Semenya, the South

:27:38.:27:40.

African who many feel has an unfair advantage because of her naturally

:27:41.:27:43.

elevated testosterone levels are denying Laura Muir a bronze medal

:27:44.:27:50.

and she adds to a growing list of British athletes, the likes of Holly

:27:51.:27:54.

Bradshaw and Sophie Hitchon, Katarina Johnson-Thompson, who have

:27:55.:27:56.

finished just outside the medals and it means after the fourth day of the

:27:57.:27:59.

World Championships, the British team only have one solitary gold

:28:00.:28:04.

medal from Sir Mo Farah. They will hope for a few more, perhaps in the

:28:05.:28:09.

relay and Sir Mo Farah runs again in the 5000 metres at the weekend but

:28:10.:28:13.

when you compare it to the seven medals they won in Beijing two years

:28:14.:28:16.

ago, it is going to be hard for them to match it this time around. Some

:28:17.:28:21.

other News for you, Wayde van Niekerk, the best chance the sport

:28:22.:28:25.

has of replacing Usain Bolt as its biggest star, his chances of success

:28:26.:28:28.

in the 200 and 400 metres have improved because Isaac Makwala,

:28:29.:28:34.

Botswana, as pulled out with illness and it could be rated this statement

:28:35.:28:37.

from the local organising committee which says a number of cases of

:28:38.:28:41.

gastroenteritis have been reported in one of the official hotels for

:28:42.:28:44.

the World Championships and those affected have been supported by

:28:45.:28:47.

medical staff and further advice and guidelines have been issued to team

:28:48.:28:50.

doctors and support staff as a result. Dan Roan, thank you.

:28:51.:28:53.

From bucket and spades at the beach to nipping across the Channel

:28:54.:28:55.

Brits have a long history of seeking out sun or

:28:56.:29:00.

But our holiday habits have changed dramatically over

:29:01.:29:06.

the past couple of decades, according to new figures from

:29:07.:29:08.

The great British holiday. It has changed a lot over the last century.

:29:09.:29:17.

This is Blackpool in the 1920s when huge numbers flocked to the seaside

:29:18.:29:23.

in search of sunshine and sand. By the 1970s, overseas holidays were

:29:24.:29:28.

still mostly reserved for the most affluent of Britons, with Butlins

:29:29.:29:31.

and Brighton remaining popular summer destinations closer to home.

:29:32.:29:36.

But the arrival of low-cost airlines in the 1990s began the boom in

:29:37.:29:40.

foreign travel. 27 million flu overseas in 1996. 20 years later, 45

:29:41.:29:47.

million Britons chose to spend their holidays abroad. Over the past 20

:29:48.:29:53.

years, there's been a revolution in travel and that has been driven by

:29:54.:29:59.

the budget airlines. If you go back to November 1995, when easyJet

:30:00.:30:03.

started up, basically the number of people travelling has doubled and

:30:04.:30:06.

many of them are simply taking advantage of cheap fares to go right

:30:07.:30:12.

across Europe. But while we are flying further afield, we are

:30:13.:30:16.

spending less time there, with a seven night stay proving three times

:30:17.:30:19.

more popular than a fortnight away for Britain's last year. And

:30:20.:30:23.

remember the so-called booze cruises of the 90s, a chance to stock up on

:30:24.:30:28.

alcohol and cigarettes? Those have all but disappeared. In their place,

:30:29.:30:32.

cruises of a different kind have soared in popularity since the 1990s

:30:33.:30:36.

with more than four times as many now being taken. And the top spots

:30:37.:30:41.

for Brits are France and Spain, still, the most popular destinations

:30:42.:30:44.

with Spain topping the poll. The number of visits there are up by 87%

:30:45.:30:49.

in the last 20 years. We could do with a bit about Spanish sunshine

:30:50.:30:53.

here! The weather is coming up soon but that is

:30:54.:30:55.
