Welcome back to Outside Source, with me Karin Giannone

:00:10.:00:11.

Let's look through some of the main stories.

:00:12.:00:15.

The Leader of the UK independence party, Nigel Farage, stands down.

:00:16.:00:17.

The man who campaigned for decades to take Britain out of the EU says

:00:18.:00:21.

Could not possibly achieve more than we managed to get in referendum, and

:00:22.:00:36.

so I feel it is right that I should now stand aside. Also, in the last

:00:37.:00:39.

hour, we have heard that Boris Johnson has given his backing to

:00:40.:00:42.

Andrea Leadsom in the Tory leadership contest.

:00:43.:00:44.

There's been a suspected suicide bombing at one of Islam's holiest

:00:45.:00:46.

sites in Saudi Arabia, during the final days of Ramadan.

:00:47.:00:49.

Coming up this half hour, we'll hear live from NASA's mission control.

:00:50.:00:53.

There are likely to be a lot of nerves - their $10 billion Juno

:00:54.:00:56.

probe is about to reach Jupiter after a 3 billion kilometre

:00:57.:01:00.

:01:01.:01:23.

Nigel Farage has stepped down as leader of the UK Independence

:01:24.:01:27.

For years he has been one of the most influential figures

:01:28.:01:30.

in the campaign to take the UK out of the European Union.

:01:31.:01:33.

Ben Wright looks back at his career.

:01:34.:01:39.

The Sun has risen on an independent United Kingdom.

:01:40.:01:49.

For two decades, Nigel Farage had a mission, to lead

:01:50.:01:53.

While Ukip has just one MP at Westminster, the party's impact

:01:54.:01:57.

Probably one of the most influential politicians in the post-war era,

:01:58.:02:03.

not just of this century, because if it wasn't

:02:04.:02:06.

for Nigel Farage and his hard work and the Ukip activists,

:02:07.:02:08.

we wouldn't have had a referendum on our membership of the EU.

:02:09.:02:15.

The former city trader was a founder of Ukip and soon distilled its pitch

:02:16.:02:19.

What people are saying is get Britain out.

:02:20.:02:25.

In 1999, Farage was elected to the European Parliament,

:02:26.:02:27.

You have the charisma of a damp rag and the appearance

:02:28.:02:34.

He wanted Britain to leave, but the years Ukip could not break

:02:35.:02:40.

through with voters and in 2006 David Cameron memorably mocked them.

:02:41.:02:46.

I mean, Ukip, it is just a bunch of fruit cakes and closet racists.

:02:47.:02:54.

A decade later, Nigel Farage would have the last laugh.

:02:55.:02:57.

With his love of the drink, Farage is not like most politicians

:02:58.:03:00.

but the jovial demeanour disguised serious intent.

:03:01.:03:06.

The seriousness that hardened after he was injured

:03:07.:03:08.

in a plane crash in 2010, an experience that spurred him on.

:03:09.:03:13.

Over the next five years Ukip made huge strides,

:03:14.:03:15.

coming first in the European elections in 2014.

:03:16.:03:19.

He celebrated in a Westminster pub of course.

:03:20.:03:23.

Ukip's campaign was cutting through, not only winning over disillusioned

:03:24.:03:29.

Tories, but many working-class Labour voters as well.

:03:30.:03:34.

David Cameron promised an EU referendum, in part to head

:03:35.:03:38.

Today in Essex, where Ukip came second in the general election,

:03:39.:03:44.

some disappointment at Nigel Farage's decision.

:03:45.:03:48.

Shocked when you told me, he seems a nice guy,

:03:49.:03:52.

He took the party from being a fringe organisation

:03:53.:04:02.

to a mainstream political force is so very impressive figure.

:04:03.:04:05.

I am glad he is going, especially the way he treated people

:04:06.:04:08.

in the EU, the way he spoke to people is disgusting.

:04:09.:04:11.

A divisive rabble-rouser to some, their hero to others,

:04:12.:04:15.

Ukip without Nigel Farage will lose some of its colour.

:04:16.:04:17.

Where the party heads next is a question for his successor.

:04:18.:04:30.

There are three major sporting events underway -

:04:31.:04:33.

Wimbledon, Tour de France and Euro 2016.

:04:34.:04:35.

Britain's Andy Murray was in action against Nick Kyrgios from Australia.

:04:36.:04:39.

Here was a picture Wimbledon sent as a tweet ahead of the match.

:04:40.:04:54.

18-0. So, he has had 18 matches and won them all. Let's show you what

:04:55.:05:02.

John Watson has. He has been looking at the action on Monday.

:05:03.:05:07.

Well, if Andy Murray was feeling the pressure about being a favourite

:05:08.:05:11.

now, in the absence of Novak Djokovic, he wasn't showing it on

:05:12.:05:13.

centre court as he breezed through his match with the Australian number

:05:14.:05:17.

15 seed NIck Kyrgios coming through in state sets. Huge support, as you

:05:18.:05:23.

can imagine, from the Centre Court crowd. Joining him there is Roger

:05:24.:05:30.

Federer, the seven time Wimbledon champion also through in straight

:05:31.:05:33.

sets, yet to drop a set in his opening three matches of these

:05:34.:05:37.

Wimbledon Championships, beating the American Steve Johnson 6-2, 6-3,

:05:38.:05:43.

7-5. Also there is Serena Williams, he came through in her match against

:05:44.:05:50.

Svetlana Kuznetsova of Russia. The former two-time grand slam champion

:05:51.:05:54.

was going to pose Serena problems, but she certainly didn't when Serena

:05:55.:05:56.

is playing like that on centre court. A fantastic performance from

:05:57.:06:00.

her, and she came through comfortably in the end, 7-5, 6-0.

:06:01.:06:06.

Certainly a tournament worth keeping an ion, would Novak Djokovic not

:06:07.:06:10.

here, Gardenia McGruther out in the women's singles, so it was business

:06:11.:06:15.

as usual for Serena Williams, Roger Federer, and Andy Murray.

:06:16.:06:16.

Peter Sagan spent much of the today's race enjoying his

:06:17.:06:20.

first ever day in the race leader's yellow jersey.

:06:21.:06:22.

He was at the front of the peloton chatting to fellow riders.

:06:23.:06:25.

But it's Mark Cavendish's vintage that gets another line in the great

:06:26.:06:28.

Let's get the latest from Chris Mitchell.

:06:29.:06:35.

If we can find you, Chris, tell us about the action today. It was

:06:36.:06:44.

fantastic. It is not often in the Tour de France that you get such an

:06:45.:06:47.

exciting finish, and this one was a photo finish. Mark Cavendish,

:06:48.:06:53.

winning his 28th Tour de France stage win. That is him in green

:06:54.:06:57.

there. His opponent in the white, coming out of shot, crossed the

:06:58.:07:01.

line, thought he had won the stage, but they had to go to a photo finish

:07:02.:07:06.

to work out that it was Mark Cavendish, his 28th stage win, as

:07:07.:07:10.

they say, and that equals the record. He is second in the all-time

:07:11.:07:15.

list behind Eddie Merricks, who has got 34 stage wins. That is Peter

:07:16.:07:19.

Sagan, who has the yellow jersey still. Chris Froome is in fourth

:07:20.:07:23.

place in the overall standings, but today was all about the Manx

:07:24.:07:27.

missile, they call him, because it really was amazing. If you think he

:07:28.:07:32.

won his first stage in 2008, this is his 10th Tour de France. He still

:07:33.:07:36.

has time and stages in this Tour de France to increase his tally from 28

:07:37.:07:39.

as well. So he really is the story of the day, and don't forget, he

:07:40.:07:45.

will also be at the Olympics in Rio, riding in the velodrome.

:07:46.:07:49.

Just one thing, Chris, to ask you about the NBA. We have been waiting

:07:50.:07:52.

to see where Kevin Durant was going to sign. He then tweeted this,

:07:53.:07:57.

rather cryptically, saying, my next chapter. What does he mean?

:07:58.:08:02.

It up as all by surprise, really. He is going to the Golden State

:08:03.:08:06.

Warriors. That was it a prize to many. They felt he was stay on at

:08:07.:08:11.

Oklahoma City Thunder, where he has been for nine seasons. But then he

:08:12.:08:15.

is, Kevin Durant. He will be playing at the Olympics as well for team

:08:16.:08:20.

USA. He has had everything at Oklahoma, but he has never won the

:08:21.:08:24.

championship ring. He has been to one finals, and was beaten by LeBron

:08:25.:08:29.

James of the Miami Heat. He has been to four Western Conference finals.

:08:30.:08:32.

Many fans say they don't like that he is moving away from his club, but

:08:33.:08:36.

he is doing it because he is ambitious. And he is taking a pay

:08:37.:08:40.

cut to do it, so you have got to love Kevin Durant. He is fuelled by

:08:41.:08:44.

his ambition to win that NBA ring that Oklahoma could not give him.

:08:45.:08:48.

And his move has tipped off loads of other moves. Now he has gone, there

:08:49.:08:51.

are players moving all over the place. It will be an exciting few

:08:52.:08:54.

days for NBA watchers. Thank you, Chris. Lots of excitement

:08:55.:08:58.

as well in Euro 2016. Iceland lost in the quarter

:08:59.:09:02.

finals on Sunday evening. Let me show you the reception

:09:03.:09:04.

the team received when they got The tiny country did so much better

:09:05.:09:07.

than most people expected, including knocking England out

:09:08.:09:11.

of the competition. Matthew Price was in Reykjavik

:09:12.:09:12.

to watch the match. I slammed on the global map! --

:09:13.:09:25.

Iceland. I don't think anyone imagine that

:09:26.:09:29.

they would go so far, and I am just proud.

:09:30.:09:36.

I am very proud. I am proud.

:09:37.:09:39.

That pretty much sums it up here. It just does not feel like a loss.

:09:40.:09:45.

This is how they reacted at the end of full-time.

:09:46.:09:45.

CHEERING It has been a big match buys land,

:09:46.:09:55.

but it was expected. For us, France is the best team in

:09:56.:09:58.

this tournament, and they will win it.

:09:59.:10:01.

Well, you would have thought they were had actually won, with new?

:10:02.:10:06.

This is just a massive party going on here. On the edge of the Arctic

:10:07.:10:12.

Circle, under the almost endless daylight that they get at this time

:10:13.:10:18.

of year. And despite the defeat to France, well, many people here in

:10:19.:10:22.

Iceland will tell you that this was a victory. And already, they are

:10:23.:10:28.

looking to the future, to the team's return today, a celebration. No

:10:29.:10:31.

recriminations. And then, the next World Cup. They still believe.

:10:32.:10:38.

In a moment: we'll hear live from NASA's mission control

:10:39.:10:41.

where in just a few hours the Juno probe will rocket into orbit

:10:42.:10:45.

around the largest planet in the solar system, Jupiter.

:10:46.:10:58.

has made a direct appeal for the party to unite.

:10:59.:11:03.

After a week in which he's lost the support of most of his MPs,

:11:04.:11:06.

he's posted a video on social media, defending his nine month record.

:11:07.:11:09.

Our Political Correspondent Vicki Young reports.

:11:10.:11:16.

Will you resign? Nice to see you.

:11:17.:11:21.

Resignations are popular at Westminster right now, but the

:11:22.:11:24.

Labour leader has never been a follower of fashion.

:11:25.:11:27.

Will you resign, Mr Corbyn? Jeremy Corbyn is under enormous

:11:28.:11:31.

pressure to go, but today, he could not have been clearer.

:11:32.:11:34.

Only nine months ago, I was very honoured to be elected leader of our

:11:35.:11:37.

party. Using social media to speak direct

:11:38.:11:40.

me to his party, he said he was staying put.

:11:41.:11:44.

I want to reach out to all our members, to all our supporters, to

:11:45.:11:47.

all our trade union affiliates, and to my colleagues in Parliament. Come

:11:48.:11:52.

together, now. But many of his MPs are in no mood for compromise.

:11:53.:11:57.

Angela Eagle says she is ready to launch a leadership challenge.

:11:58.:12:00.

I have the support to run and resolve this impasse, and I will do

:12:01.:12:05.

so if Jeremy doesn't take action soon. That is all I have got to say.

:12:06.:12:10.

Last week, more than 60 of Mr Corbyn's front bench team walked

:12:11.:12:14.

out, urging him to resign. Then, in a vote of no-confidence, more than

:12:15.:12:19.

170 Labour MPs refused to back their leader. But his team say he was

:12:20.:12:23.

elected by a quarter of a million party members, and thousands more

:12:24.:12:26.

are signing up to him. There has been some talk here about

:12:27.:12:30.

brokered deal between the Labour leader and his MPs, but it is hard

:12:31.:12:35.

to see how that would work. Many now expect a leadership contest. One MP

:12:36.:12:38.

told me that they had had the fight of their lives, and if Mr Corbyn was

:12:39.:12:45.

re-elected, they are openly talking about a split in the Labour Party.

:12:46.:12:49.

Mr Corbyn's team, however, say he is to be getting on with the job.

:12:50.:12:53.

And this afternoon, that meant a grilling from MPs about allegations

:12:54.:12:57.

of anti-Semitism in the Labour Party. Do you except their Jewish

:12:58.:13:01.

groups and organisations are fearful with you as the leader of the Labour

:13:02.:13:04.

Party, that you are fostering a period in the party where

:13:05.:13:08.

anti-Semitism exists? I think that is deeply unfair and

:13:09.:13:11.

deeply wrong. It is absolutely the last thing I would want to do.

:13:12.:13:17.

Keep Corbyn! Labour MPs hope is to Corbyn will resign, but he is

:13:18.:13:20.

drawing strength from the tens of thousands of party members who

:13:21.:13:23.

propelled him to victory last year. For now, there is no sign of this

:13:24.:13:26.

stand-off coming to an end. This is Outside Source live

:13:27.:13:34.

from the BBC newsroom. One of the most

:13:35.:13:39.

influential figures in the campaign to take the UK out

:13:40.:13:41.

of the European Union, Nigel Farage, has stood

fireworks this Fourth of July, but there's another reason people

:14:21.:14:28.

will be looking skyward tonight. A NASA probe is about to arrive

:14:29.:14:31.

at Jupiter, five years and three billion kilometres

:14:32.:14:36.

after it was launched. Let me show you this tweet

:14:37.:14:44.

from the space agency: If the engine fails to fire

:14:45.:14:49.

at the right time, or for long enough, the billion-dollar probe

:14:50.:14:53.

will fly straight past Jupiter The BBC's Science Correspondent,

:14:54.:14:56.

Rebecca Morelle has more. Here are the top five things you

:14:57.:15:11.

need to know about Nasa's mission to Jupiter. Firstly, it has been an

:15:12.:15:17.

epic journey. The Juno spacecraft has blasted off in 2011, and since

:15:18.:15:22.

then, it has hurtled 2.8 billion kilometres through the solar system.

:15:23.:15:26.

But the trickiest part is still to come. When it arrives at Jupiter,

:15:27.:15:32.

Juno will be travelling at 250,000 kilometres an hour, so to get into

:15:33.:15:36.

orbit, it needs to slam on the brakes by burning its engine for

:15:37.:15:41.

exactly 35 minutes. If it misfires, the entire mission could be lost.

:15:42.:15:49.

Two. Jupiter is big, bad. Jupiter is a whopper, the size of 1300 Earths,

:15:50.:15:56.

and it is a world of extremes, colossal storms raging on the planet

:15:57.:16:00.

's surface. It spins around so fast it's gravity is like a giant

:16:01.:16:04.

slingshot, flinging around rocks and dust, anything that gets in its way.

:16:05.:16:09.

And then there is the radiation. That is thousands of times harsher

:16:10.:16:12.

than anything we have ever seen here on earth.

:16:13.:16:21.

Juno is like an armoured tank. The spacecraft is big, three and a half

:16:22.:16:25.

metres wide, and it is tough. Its scientific instruments are protected

:16:26.:16:30.

by a thick titanium shield. Juno will have to withstand anything

:16:31.:16:33.

Jupiter can throw at it, especially the charged particles that could

:16:34.:16:37.

frazzle on-board electronics. Four. Juno will get up close and

:16:38.:16:41.

personal. We have been to Jupiter, but this

:16:42.:16:44.

spacecraft will get closer than ever before. It will see the giant red

:16:45.:16:51.

spot, Jupiter's biggest storm, up close, and we'll find out how much

:16:52.:16:54.

water and Doctor Jeannette holds. It will also appear beneath the clouds

:16:55.:16:58.

to discover what lies at the planet's court. Fivefive. Jupiter is

:16:59.:17:08.

a time capsule, born out of a swirling cloud of gas and dust. It

:17:09.:17:11.

is thought to have been the first planning to form in our solar

:17:12.:17:14.

system, but since then, it's make-up has remained largely unchanged. So

:17:15.:17:18.

shedding light on Jupiter could also shed light on the origins of us, the

:17:19.:17:24.

Earth the other planets. This is a mission with a lot riding on it.

:17:25.:17:27.

Let's talk to Betty now. Becky is at mission

:17:28.:17:30.

control in Pasadena. How far as Juno from its

:17:31.:17:36.

destination? It really is getting very close

:17:37.:17:40.

indeed. This crucial manoeuvre now takes place in about seven hours, so

:17:41.:17:46.

Juno, essentially at the moment, and there is a model of it behind me.

:17:47.:17:51.

The actual thing is about four times larger, so it is quite a chunky

:17:52.:17:56.

spacecraft. At the moment, it is travelling at 250,000 kilometres an

:17:57.:18:00.

hour, which makes it the fastest man-made object ever. It has to slam

:18:01.:18:04.

on its brakes that is very precise 35 minute period. If anything goes

:18:05.:18:07.

wrong with it, everything is lost, and what is more difficult is, all

:18:08.:18:11.

of this is done on autopilot because Juno is too far away from the earth

:18:12.:18:18.

for scientists to be controlling it back here, so they have had to

:18:19.:18:20.

upload the instructions and hope for the best, really. How nervous are

:18:21.:18:23.

they at Mission Control Moment Double?

:18:24.:18:26.

It Is A Very Expensive Spacecraft, And They Have Been waiting years.

:18:27.:18:34.

Yes, this mission has been years in the making, and it is $1 billion

:18:35.:18:38.

worth of spacecraft. I think there is a real mix here of excitement

:18:39.:18:42.

among the scientists, who have been working there would waiting really

:18:43.:18:46.

long, and it is now here. And also, pure fear, because they are moving

:18:47.:18:50.

into uncharted territory, and it is not just the difficulties of getting

:18:51.:18:54.

Juno into orbit. Once it is there, the environment is incredibly

:18:55.:18:57.

hostile. Jupiter has the worst weather in the solar system, these

:18:58.:19:01.

huge storms, but more importantly, the radiation, these charged

:19:02.:19:03.

particles moving almost at the speed of light, and the spacecraft will be

:19:04.:19:07.

blitzed by them. They just don't really know how it'll react. You

:19:08.:19:10.

can't mimic those conditions on Earth. You don't have a lab you can

:19:11.:19:16.

take the spacecraft into to test it out. You have to throw it into

:19:17.:19:21.

Jupiter and see what happens. You can't really think of a less

:19:22.:19:25.

hospitable environment for a little spacecraft to arrive. Are they

:19:26.:19:28.

daring to say that this might not end in absolute success, or are they

:19:29.:19:32.

all being very positive? They are being very positive here,

:19:33.:19:37.

but it is a short mission, because once the spacecraft Juno is in

:19:38.:19:41.

orbit, it is going to be an 18 month mission. They will only orbit 37

:19:42.:19:45.

times around Jupiter, although Jupiter is really big, so one orbit

:19:46.:19:50.

is actually quite a long way. It also has an elliptical orbit,

:19:51.:19:52.

swinging in very close to the polls, very close to the planet, about 5000

:19:53.:19:57.

kilometres above the surface. It then wings its way back out again

really far away, and that is how it can avoid these deadly radiation

:20:03.:20:04.

bands. They think they have done all the computer modelling to make sure

:20:05.:20:10.

they have built this to withstand this, and will not travel through

:20:11.:20:13.

the worst areas of radiation, but even then, they think some of the

:20:14.:20:15.

instruments might fail before the end of the mission. One of them was

:20:16.:20:21.

saying, as I chatted to him, it is not worth doing missions like this

:20:22.:20:25.

unless you are taking risks. Why go out there if you are not going to

:20:26.:20:28.

try and get closer than ever before, to see bits you have never seen

:20:29.:20:35.

before? So they are nervous, but we will see. We will indeed. We will be

:20:36.:20:39.

watching and waiting. Thank you, Rebecca, in Pasadena.

In the run up to the EU referendum, those who supported Britain

:20:42.:20:44.

remaining in the EU accused Russia of actively backing a Brexit.

:20:45.:20:46.

So what has the reaction been in Russia to the referendum

:20:47.:20:50.

result AND the political upheaval here in Britain?

:20:51.:20:52.

Here's our Moscow correspondent Steve Rosenberg.

:20:53.:20:59.

Ahead of EU referendum, the Remain campaign had insisted that the

:21:00.:21:05.

Kremlin wanted Britain to vote Leave. The argument went like this -

:21:06.:21:12.

Brexit would mean a weaker EU and a stronger Russia. Vladimir Putin

:21:13.:21:15.

might be happy with the Brexit, David Cameron had said. So, now that

:21:16.:21:20.

Britain has voted to leave the European Union, is Russia happy? It

:21:21.:21:25.

is a very interesting thing how Europe and the US and the West in

:21:26.:21:31.

general predicts Russia's reaction on referendums and what would happen

:21:32.:21:37.

after the referendum. It is up to the EU and London, Brussels, to

:21:38.:21:41.

decide what to do. This is the only, or perhaps the

:21:42.:21:49.

first time, when actually, the process of European integration is

:21:50.:22:00.

not put on hold or on pause, as Secretary Kerry prefers to name it,

:22:01.:22:04.

but it is a step backwards. I use a prize by the events in the

:22:05.:22:07.

United Kingdom? We are used to Britain being a calm place

:22:08.:22:11.

politically, without any political earthquake. -- are you surprised?

:22:12.:22:15.

Same after you have not been watching much of your parliamentary

:22:16.:22:17.

debates, have you? I would not subscribe to those

:22:18.:22:20.

definitions of the British political scene. But yes, I was surprised,

:22:21.:22:25.

because it is a radical decision that does not happen very often.

:22:26.:22:30.

And this is Andrei Lugovoi, Russian MP, wanted by Britain over the

:22:31.:22:33.

killing of former Russian agent Alexander Litvinenko. From the prime

:22:34.:22:38.

suspect, this message to the Prime Minister, David Cameron.

:22:39.:22:57.

As for the man who works out of this building, well, he has been rather

:22:58.:23:04.

less, the mentor. Vladimir Putin has accused David Cameron of trying to

:23:05.:23:08.

blackmail Europe by holding the referendum in the first place.

:23:09.:23:15.

Now, mystery and Pyongyang. South Korean analysts say the North Korean

:23:16.:23:22.

leader, Kim Jong-un, is putting on weight. Our Asia-Pacific editor been

:23:23.:23:24.

finding out what might be going on. South Korea's spy agency says the

:23:25.:23:35.

North Korean leader is comfort eating to cope with the fear of

:23:36.:23:39.

being assassinated. They're certainly does seem to be a little

:23:40.:23:43.

more of him. Korea watchers scrutinise pictures of the leader

:23:44.:23:48.

for hints about his health and the security of his position. People

:23:49.:23:52.

worried when they saw him limping. Did he have gout? Was he

:23:53.:23:55.

overindulging? And when he went missing for a while, they wondered

:23:56.:23:59.

if he had been replaced. We know so little about North Korea

:24:00.:24:03.

that even snippets of information seem useful, but perhaps they say

:24:04.:24:08.

nothing about politics in Pyongyang, and more about the world's

:24:09.:24:11.

fascination with a country that often seems baffling and bizarre.

:24:12.:24:14.

Michael Bristow reporting there. More of that on the BBC website.

:24:15.:24:20.

Let's just remind you of the story which broke in the last hour here in

:24:21.:24:23.

London. The former Mayor of London, Boris

:24:24.:24:27.

Johnson, who campaigned for the UK to leave the EU, has given his

:24:28.:24:33.

support to Andrea Leadsom. There she is, as the next leader of the

:24:34.:24:36.

Conservative Party. She is currently Energy Minister. Mr Johnson said she

:24:37.:24:41.

had be zapped, drive and determination needed to be Prime

:24:42.:24:43.

Minister. You may remember he was expected to

:24:44.:24:47.

run himself for the leadership after David Cameron announced his

:24:48.:24:50.

resignation, but when his key ally Michael Gove announced his bid, Mr

:24:51.:24:54.

Johnson decided against it. That is all from us for now. I will be back

:24:55.:24:57.

at the same time tomorrow. Thank you for watching.

:24:58.:25:06.

Hello there. If you are feeling a little hard done by the summer so

:25:07.:25:13.

far, that is easy to understand. If we look at the Met office stats for

:25:14.:25:17.

the month of June, it was a bit icky legal month as far as sunshine

:25:18.:25:21.

amounts are concerned, especially for England and Wales. The
