Hello, I'm Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source. | :00:10. | :00:11. | |
Part of Donald Trump's travel ban will come into force. | :00:12. | :00:16. | |
The Supreme Court has ruled that a 90-day ban on people travelling | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
from six muslim majority countries can apply in some circumstances. | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
Iraqi forces are closing in on so called Islamic State | :00:24. | :00:25. | |
in the heart of Mosul - one commander has said the battle | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
The fight here is that extremely close quarters. This is the most | :00:29. | :00:45. | |
forward position the Iraqi troops have. They tell us the nearest IS | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
emplacement is just 50 metres away. Two and a half weeks | :00:49. | :00:52. | |

North Korea has been saying in response to a South Korean | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
invitation to co-host the 2018 Winter Olympics. | :01:24. | :01:36. | |
We have covered the story many times in the last three years. | :01:37. | :01:45. | |
Back in 2014 the Islamic State group seized the whole city. | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
In October Iraqi forces mounted an offensive to retake it. | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
These are the maps we have been collecting along the way. You can | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
see how the territory marked in red controlled by IS has got smaller and | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
smaller and smaller as the months have gone by. Now we have this map, | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
provided by the Iraqi military I should say, this area is still | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
controlled by IS, we estimate it to be 2.5 square kilometres in the | :02:18. | :02:18. | |
centre of Mosul. The BBC's team of Orla Guerin, | :02:19. | :02:20. | |
Nico Hameon, Bader Catty and Rich Stacey, have exclusive | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
access to the battle area. GUNFIRE | :02:24. | :02:34. | |
Heading to the front line in Mosul. You have to run. And beware of | :02:35. | :02:42. | |
snipers, troops from Iraq's emergency response division are | :02:43. | :02:51. | |
advancing every day. The target here, the hospital complex. We move | :02:52. | :03:02. | |
deeper into the battle, getting a chance to see how the fight is being | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
taken to the so-called Islamic State. Urban warfare at its most | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
intimate. Near enough to throw a hand grenade. Then this. | :03:14. | :03:21. | |
Well, the fight here is that extremely close quarters. This is | :03:22. | :03:30. | |
the most forward position the Iraqi troops have. They tell us the | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
nearest IS position is just 15 metres away and when they are firing | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
here at the distance is so small that sometimes they can see the | :03:40. | :03:40. | |
faces of the IS militants. The troops here, mostly young, | :03:41. | :03:56. | |
determined to end a reign of terror. Daesh came and killed civilians, | :03:57. | :04:03. | |
says Harley. They destroyed life in the city. Our duty is to bring Mosul | :04:04. | :04:10. | |
back to life -- Ali. Here is the hospital building where commanders | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
say about 200 foreign militants are holed up, including some Britons. | :04:15. | :04:23. | |
"That's what our intelligence tells us," says the kernel. "We also heard | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
them speaking on the radio, we can tell their nationality from that." | :04:29. | :04:35. | |
Iraqi drones monitor their movements if they dare to move at all. Here | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
militants run from building to building in the vast medical complex | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
looking for a cover. Commanders tell us there are French, Russians and | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
Chechens here as well as the British. They say there are three | :04:51. | :04:52. | |
senior IS leaders along with them trapped below ground. Now that the | :04:53. | :05:01. | |
caliphate is turning to ash their positions, being pounded from above, | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
with a series of air strikes. We counted three in an hour. It's the | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
final push against an enemy that once controlled the third of Iraq. | :05:13. | :05:19. | |
Orla Guerin, BBC News, Mosul. Often when the Islamic State group | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
is under pressure it launches counterattacks. That's also been | :05:24. | :05:24. | |
seen in Mosul in recent days. For more on this I spoke | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
with Rasha Qandeel from BBC Arabic. She has been taking me through the | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
latest counteroffensive is that we have seen. | :05:34. | :05:35. | |
This tactic has been used before, the counterattacks by the what is | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
called Islamic State, it has been used before, the highest scale in | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
2016. The tactic is as follows. When they feel really surrounded and | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
targeted and they don't know where to go they go underground, use | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
tunnels and appear somewhere else. This has been used before. The only | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
problem about this with Islamic State is they have lots of foreign | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
fighters amongst them and these people cannot mingle with civilians | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
because they will look different. So most of those are trying to escape | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
through those tunnels to go to Syria, and probably this is the | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
point where they will have to do this. If they do that, the number | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
remaining of the fighters will be very limited and then they can be | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
targeted more easily. Are there are civilians in the area | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
still controlled by IS? A lot of them and this number, | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
whether it's the 800 metres or one kilometre to 1.5 kilometres, have | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
tens of thousands of Syrians according to the UN in Iraq, and | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
this will mean that if the same weapons have been used by the | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
coalition, which is basically heavy weapons, air force coverage, this is | :06:44. | :06:51. | |
non-selective weapons so basically they will target everyone, destroy | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
the whole area and this will have a huge risk on the civilians there in | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
the region. What is the Iraqi government saying | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
about its tactics, bearing in mind all of these people that are in the | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
middle of it? What they said before in East Mosul | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
that was much easier to fight than in West Mosul, they say they will | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
differentiate between civilians and fighters and open safe passages for | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
civilians but if you look at it it's very difficult to do that, given | :07:17. | :07:23. | |
that everywhere else is basically like it's under siege. Even if | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
civilians managed to try and get out of the passages there is no | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
guarantee there will not be fighters amongst them, there is no guarantee | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
they will not be used by any side of the fighting. What the Iraqi | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
government is saying is wishful thinking but on the ground it is | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
difficult to achieve. Some of the civilians caught up in | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
the fighting in Iraq. We know that the fighting in Iraq and | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
neighbouring Syria has led to millions of people fleeing into | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
neighbouring countries like Lebanon. We are going to look at the | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
experience of one family which has had to do that and look at the issue | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
of medical care. The UN says covering all of the costs of medical | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
care that refugees need is proving incredibly hard. | :08:04. | :08:05. | |
The BBC's Lina Sinjab spoke with one family | :08:06. | :08:07. | |
of Syrian refugees, whose son is being treated for cancer. | :08:08. | :08:14. | |
It is playtime for Ammash Ammash, but his playground | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
At four years old, he has been receiving chemotherapy for most | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
The doctor tries to cheer him up, while doing a regular checkup. | :08:22. | :08:35. | |
Ammash and his family come from Minbij, in war-torn Aleppo. | :08:36. | :08:47. | |
His father works as a handyman and hardly makes enough | :08:48. | :08:49. | |
He tells me that the UN doesn't cover cancer treatment and he has | :08:50. | :09:02. | |
been seeking NGOs' help for the last two weeks. | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
Making only $500 a month, he says that having to pay $330 each | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
week for his son's chemo just isn't possible. | :09:09. | :09:17. | |
Ammash's treatment so far has been provided by a small | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
Relying on donations from individuals, they are often | :09:22. | :09:29. | |
faced with tough financial decisions, like having | :09:30. | :09:31. | |
Dr Layal Issa is one of the volunteers who established Karma. | :09:32. | :09:38. | |
Actually, we are their only hope for having the chance to live, | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
to survive their battle with this cancer. | :09:43. | :09:50. | |
You have lost children you have treated? | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
Yes, the last one was a little girl, Farah, she was two years old. | :09:54. | :10:00. | |
She had neuroblastoma, we covered her treatment, | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
but she relapsed and, at some point, we ran out | :10:05. | :10:06. | |
of funds for her so we had to stop her treatment, | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
so she had to get back to Syria to get treatment | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
there but unfortunately, she passed away. | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
Going back to Syria would be the last resort for Ammash, | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
There are almost no cancer medication left in the country. | :10:24. | :10:29. | |
Ammash, although born in Syria, has no memory of his own country | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
and has never seen the war that has torn it apart. | :10:34. | :10:36. | |
If money can be found, if he survives cancer, | :10:37. | :10:42. | |
he will still face the uncertain future of every Syrian - | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
waiting for the day they can return home. | :10:46. | :10:53. | |
Lina Sinjab, BBC News, Beirut. Background information on the | :10:54. | :11:00. | |
conflicts in Syria and Iraq available whenever you want to | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
access it on the BBC News website. Earlier in the programme we spoke to | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
Anthony in our Washington newsroom and we will go back to him shortly | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
because we have breaking news. The Congressional Budget Office is | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
estimating that 22 million Americans will be uninsured in 2026 under the | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
health care bill that is being proposed by the Republicans, | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
considered by the Senate as a replacement for ObamaCare. Let's | :11:30. | :11:31. | |
bringing Anthony who is digesting all of this in Washington. | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
This is similar to be estimates we saw with the last version of the | :11:36. | :11:42. | |
health care rebels, isn't it? Exactly, the bill in the House of | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
Representatives you mentioned, the estimate on that bill said there | :11:47. | :11:49. | |
would be 23 million additional uninsured as of 2026, difference of | :11:50. | :11:56. | |
only 1 million Americans, and if you remember Donald Trump in a meeting | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
with Republicans reportedly called that house Bill too mean, and here | :12:01. | :12:06. | |
we have a Senate bill that will result in an equal number, or a | :12:07. | :12:12. | |
close to equal number of uninsured. It does have greater financial | :12:13. | :12:15. | |
savings than the house Bill. The estimate says 202 billion more than | :12:16. | :12:23. | |
the house bill estimated in net savings, the total savings over the | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
next nine years in the Senate bill would be $321 billion, primarily | :12:30. | :12:32. | |
from significant cuts in Medicaid, the health insurance programme for | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
the poor. There is a 26% reduction according to the CBO in medicated | :12:37. | :12:44. | |
spending, a fairly significant decrease when you consider the fact | :12:45. | :12:47. | |
that the American population is growing and health care costs are | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
rising. Does this change the arithmetic in | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
the Senate as we go towards a vote? It's going to make it very difficult | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
for some of the senators who have a large number of residents of their | :13:00. | :13:05. | |
estates on the Medicaid rolls to support this bill, people like Susan | :13:06. | :13:12. | |
Collins of Maine, Alaska, Nevada, those are all considered if the | :13:13. | :13:15. | |
votes, and I don't think this will help them at all. The CBO estimates | :13:16. | :13:21. | |
said they would be 50 million additional Americans in 2018 who | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
don't have health insurance but lots of those Americans will not be | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
forced to buy Americans stomach insurance. Obama force all Americans | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
to have health care, have health insurance. The Senate is already | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
changing their bill to create an incentive for Americans to buy | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
health insurance, if they cannot get back onto the health insurance | :13:43. | :13:45. | |
market for six months if they let it lapse. These changes might affect | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
these numbers somewhat. It is a moving target, you'll hear from | :13:51. | :13:52. | |
Republicans that they are not done and they will take into | :13:53. | :13:55. | |
consideration the plan and hopefully get the moderate Senators back on | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
board. Anthony, on the face of it, making | :14:00. | :14:02. | |
the case for millions of Americans losing health care is not an easy | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
case to make that the Republicans will believe this is the best thing | :14:08. | :14:10. | |
for Americans and America so what is the argument? The argument | :14:11. | :14:16. | |
Republicans are making is that there is a famous of waste in the Medicaid | :14:17. | :14:18. | |
programme for the poor and they would rather take the money and give | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
it to states and do with it as they see fit and not have it be a federal | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
government programme that is setup, the guidelines by the federal | :14:28. | :14:29. | |
government, where it could not be suited for individual populations. | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
The reason why there is such a steep decrease in Medicaid funding over | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
the next ten years in the Republican plan is because they want to hand | :14:39. | :14:41. | |
off this obligation to the states to manage, they say that is a much | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
better way to go about it and they want to decrease taxes which they | :14:46. | :14:49. | |
say will help the economy and get Americans back to work. They have a | :14:50. | :14:51. | |
different perspective from the Democrats and certainly a different | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
perspective from the Democrats who instituted ObamaCare who were | :14:56. | :14:58. | |
looking at driving up the total number of Americans who had health | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
insurance. I don't think we will get you back in the next hour but you | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
never know. Thank you for joining us. Just to reiterate what Anthony | :15:08. | :15:10. | |
was talking about, the breaking news that the Congressional Budget Office | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
has estimated that 22 million Americans would be uninsured for | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
health care by 2026 under the Senate health bill being considered. It | :15:19. | :15:24. | |
would replace ObamaCare where it to be voted through. It hasn't been | :15:25. | :15:27. | |
voted through yet, as Anthony explained, and the numbers are tight | :15:28. | :15:31. | |
but this estimate from the Congressional Budget Office says 22 | :15:32. | :15:34. | |
million Americans by 2026 without insurance because of these reforms | :15:35. | :15:39. | |
being brought in. In a few minutes on Outside Source we will talk to | :15:40. | :15:42. | |
you about a story from China, Nobel Peace Prize winner Liu Xiaobo, has | :15:43. | :15:48. | |
been released from a Chinese prison, but only after he was diagnosed with | :15:49. | :15:49. | |
terminal cancer. The former MP who called for an | :15:50. | :16:03. | |
inquiry after a fire in his constituency in 1999 has said | :16:04. | :16:05. | |
authorities in England didn't take his recommendations into | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
consideration. Brian Donohoe represented an area in Ayrshire | :16:10. | :16:12. | |
where a man was killed in a high-rise fire. | :16:13. | :16:16. | |
The fire in this 14 story high-rise in Irving in 1999 left one man dead | :16:17. | :16:22. | |
and five others injured. The blaze started on the fourth floor of the | :16:23. | :16:29. | |
cladding caught fire. The local MP called for a Parliamentary inquiry. | :16:30. | :16:34. | |
I had surgeries that woeful afterwards by people who wanted to | :16:35. | :16:37. | |
get out of these flats as soon as was possible. It was understood | :16:38. | :16:43. | |
there were a number of properties of a similar nature in other parts of | :16:44. | :16:46. | |
Scotland, I will not name them, but they were changed as well, the | :16:47. | :16:49. | |
cladding taken away that was causing the problem. After the fire in 1999 | :16:50. | :16:55. | |
the inquiry was held by the environment committee at Westminster | :16:56. | :16:58. | |
and reported in the year 2000. The building Scotland Act received Royal | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
assent in 2003 and regulations published in 2004 and came into | :17:04. | :17:08. | |
force the next year. In 1999 when there was a very tragic fire in | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
Ferri it led to a revisiting of regulations that meant that all | :17:14. | :17:18. | |
cladding in high-rise dwellings had to be noncombustible. It became | :17:19. | :17:21. | |
mandatory that every building must be designed and constructed in such | :17:22. | :17:26. | |
a way that the spread of fire on the external walls of the building is | :17:27. | :17:30. | |
inhibited. The Scottish Government has said no local authority or | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
housing association high-rise flats in Scotland used the cladding | :17:36. | :17:38. | |
installed on Grenfell Tower. Brian Donohoe believes that English | :17:39. | :17:41. | |
authorities failed the people who lived there. It really does stick in | :17:42. | :17:48. | |
my cruel, having done the inquiry, there was one in 1995 that was | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
exactly the same situation and there has been others since, and yet | :17:53. | :17:58. | |
government, I think, were remiss in their responsibilities and duties to | :17:59. | :18:01. | |
the people that were there in these properties. We're not going to have | :18:02. | :18:10. | |
a situation where there is any blame put on my shoulders, I have a clear | :18:11. | :18:13. | |
conscience but there must be people going to bed at night without that, | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
I have to say that. There will be further investigations into the | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
safety of all aspects of Scottish high-rises and a Holyrood committee | :18:23. | :18:24. | |
will take evidence in September after the Parliamentary recess. | :18:25. | :18:26. | |

as initially stomach normally in sailing, they have cyclers, | :19:52. | :19:58. | |
something brand-new that came into the sport with Emirates team New | :19:59. | :20:02. | |
Zealand. It is remarkable when you look at what happened. The man who | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
came in, Simon Van Pelt Hoven who won an Olympic medal in 2012 in | :20:07. | :20:11. | |
London, all of a sudden becomes a track cyclist medallist and all of a | :20:12. | :20:14. | |
sudden he has won the America's Cup. This is the oldest event in sporting | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
history going back to 1857 and the trophy is ever so slightly bigger | :20:19. | :20:24. | |
than the NHL Stanley cup, so what a trophy to lift. Interesting to hear | :20:25. | :20:27. | |
you mention the fact cyclists are getting involved because there was | :20:28. | :20:29. | |
discussion before this about whether the system would work. You would | :20:30. | :20:32. | |
suspect that that will cross over to being the norm. YouGov act in 1983 | :20:33. | :20:37. | |
when Australia won it with the winged keel, something quite | :20:38. | :20:43. | |
remarkable. That was taken on board by teams further on. It is | :20:44. | :20:48. | |
transitional when you look at what is happening in sailing and you | :20:49. | :20:51. | |
would expect people will look at this in the future because clearly | :20:52. | :20:54. | |
it has worked. They have won it ever so easily. Thank you for joining us. | :20:55. | :20:57. | |
I will speak to you during the week. John McEnroe has claimed | :20:58. | :20:59. | |
Serena Williams would be ranked 700 in the world if she played | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
on the men's circuit. McEnroe had said Serena | :21:04. | :21:12. | |
was the best women's player ever but when asked why he felt the need | :21:13. | :21:15. | |
to say best "female player ever" - If she played the men's circuit she | :21:16. | :21:23. | |
would be like 700 in the world. That doesn't mean I think I don't think | :21:24. | :21:27. | |
Serena Williams is an incredible player, I do, but the reality of | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
what happened on a given day as Serena Williams competes, I believe, | :21:33. | :21:36. | |
because she is so incredibly strong mentally. If she had to just play | :21:37. | :21:41. | |
the men's circuit that would be an entirely different story. Maybe at | :21:42. | :21:44. | |
some point a women's tennis player can be better than anybody. I just | :21:45. | :21:51. | |
haven't seen it in any other sport and I haven't seen it in tennis. I'm | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
not sure what point he is trying to make but there you go, I will let | :21:57. | :21:58. | |
you make your own mind up. North Korea has refused | :21:59. | :22:00. | |
an offer from South Korea, Here's the head of the | :22:01. | :22:02. | |
North's Olympic Committee. TRANSLATION: People keep asking | :22:03. | :22:13. | |
about co-hosting the PyeongChang Winter Olympics as we have the ski | :22:14. | :22:20. | |
resort, however, as an expert of the Olympic Games I think it is a little | :22:21. | :22:23. | |
bit too late. That's easier said than done. The practical problems | :22:24. | :22:28. | |
are not that simple. Let's talk about the Nobel Peace Laureate Liu | :22:29. | :22:30. | |
Xiaobo. In 2009 he was sentenced to 11 years | :22:31. | :22:32. | |
in prison for organising a petition calling for an end to one-party | :22:33. | :22:35. | |
rule in China. Today he was released | :22:36. | :22:41. | |
from a prison hospital - only after being diagnosed | :22:42. | :22:43. | |
with terminal liver cancer. The release from jail of China's | :22:44. | :22:54. | |
winner of the Nobel Peace Prize is absolutely huge news for this | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
country, not that most people here will hear about it, though, because | :22:59. | :23:02. | |
discussion about this world-famous activist is blocked in the state-run | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
media. Liu Xiaobo has been allowed to leave prison following a | :23:08. | :23:11. | |
diagnosis of late stage terminal liver cancer. In fact, he's been in | :23:12. | :23:16. | |
a hospital in the north-east of the country for five weeks now. Liu | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
Xiaobo has been a constant thorn in the side of the Chinese Communist | :23:22. | :23:24. | |
party since his involvement in the student movement in 1989 in and | :23:25. | :23:29. | |
around Tiananmen Square. But when he and others got together and put | :23:30. | :23:36. | |
together a manifesto called Charter 08, with a specific plan to overhaul | :23:37. | :23:39. | |
the government this was too much for the authorities here and they put | :23:40. | :23:43. | |
him behind bars for attempting to subvert state power. | :23:44. | :23:49. | |
TRANSLATION: As an honest intellectual with self-respect it | :23:50. | :23:55. | |
was inevitable that I would write something which is | :23:56. | :23:58. | |
antiestablishment. Following the Tiananmen Square crackdown Liu | :23:59. | :24:01. | |
Xiaobo was offered asylum inside the Australian embassy, but when he got | :24:02. | :24:06. | |
to the front gate he didn't go in. Deciding instead to stay in his | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
country and try and change it from within. For this he's paid a | :24:11. | :24:17. | |
terrible price. That's just about it for this edition of Outside Source. | :24:18. | :24:22. | |
We've been covering the new deal between the Conservative Party and | :24:23. | :24:25. | |
Democratic Unionist Party in the UK. This is an arrangement which means | :24:26. | :24:29. | |
the DUP will support Theresa May and her government on key pieces of | :24:30. | :24:32. | |
legislation like the budget and on multiple bills relating to Brexit. | :24:33. | :24:37. | |
We have also had some breaking news in the last few minutes, a | :24:38. | :24:41. | |
significant announcement in the US from the Congressional Budget Office | :24:42. | :24:45. | |
saying if the proposed Republican health-care reform comes in, we | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
could be looking at 22 million Americans becoming uninsured by | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
2026. That will intensify the debate around the health care reform before | :24:54. | :24:58. | |
some of the key hills. Thank you for watching and I will see you tomorrow | :24:59. | :25:00. | |
at the same time. Bye bye. Hello. This time last week we were | :25:01. | :25:13. | |
talking about record-breaking temperatures possibly across the UK, | :25:14. | :25:17. | |
and in fact | :25:18. | :25:18. |
