:01:23. > :01:25.third British man in a recruitment video for the Islamic militant
:01:26. > :01:29.group, Isis, is from Aberdeen. The man has been named locally
:01:30. > :01:32.as Raqib. Tonight, there's shock
:01:33. > :01:35.in the city that someone who grew up on its streets could be pictured
:01:36. > :01:40.with a gun, urging others to fight. Steven Duff joins us now
:01:41. > :01:54.from Aberdeen. Yes, the man Raqib, in his mid-20s,
:01:55. > :02:00.is a third-generation British jihadist. He grew up in this area of
:02:01. > :02:04.Aberdeen, and his family came from here. Someone who knew him say they
:02:05. > :02:10.were shocked to find him in this billionaire declaring ins the
:02:11. > :02:15.jihadist. Forget everyone. Read the Koran, the destruction of life, and
:02:16. > :02:18.you will find out what a Jihad is. A recruitment video for the terrorist
:02:19. > :02:23.group ISIS, in an undisclosed location. This is the man named
:02:24. > :02:28.today as Raqib from Aberdeen. He is surrounded by other British
:02:29. > :02:37.jihadist. Allah does not need you to fight for him. You need to fight.
:02:38. > :02:41.Raqib moved to Aberdeen from Bangladesh as a child, and attended
:02:42. > :02:45.school in the city. In recent years, he and some of his family are
:02:46. > :02:49.believed to have moved to Leicester. Someone who knew Raqib while he
:02:50. > :02:53.lived in Aberdeen says the video has shocked the community. He came here
:02:54. > :02:57.when he was a younger child. He went to primary and secondary school
:02:58. > :03:01.here. After that, he was around in Aberdeen. He was a bit aggressive,
:03:02. > :03:06.perhaps something to prove. He ended up in a lots of fights. To learn he
:03:07. > :03:09.has accepted religion in such an extreme way is quite shocking,
:03:10. > :03:13.because he is a youth from Aberdeen new has ended up somewhere like
:03:14. > :03:18.that. The end of afternoon prayers at one of two mosques in Aberdeen
:03:19. > :03:26.today. The city has a growing Muslim population. Raqib is said to have
:03:27. > :03:29.been an infrequent visitor. We as Muslim community in the city of
:03:30. > :03:38.Aberdeen are shocked like everybody else, and we are cooperating with
:03:39. > :03:42.the authority as we usually do. It is estimated that around 500 Britons
:03:43. > :03:48.are fighting in the conflict in Syria, among the jihadists, two men
:03:49. > :03:52.from Cardiff, in the same video as Raqib, pictured here in his
:03:53. > :03:56.terrifying new role. The word shark is used a lot. So
:03:57. > :04:02.what are people saying to you tonight? Well, it will be shocking
:04:03. > :04:06.for the very close-knit Muslim and Bangladesh communities in Aberdeen,
:04:07. > :04:09.but also the wider community. This is someone who went to a primary
:04:10. > :04:13.school and secondary school in the city. He was known as a bit of a
:04:14. > :04:16.troublemaker in his late teenage years, but the person we spoke to
:04:17. > :04:22.who knew him said before he moved away to England in recent years, he
:04:23. > :04:26.became a softer, more subtle, humble person, apparently accenting his
:04:27. > :04:30.faith, but there will be genuine shocked that someone from Aberdeen,
:04:31. > :04:33.who grew up in Aberdeen, has ended up somewhere in the Middle East in
:04:34. > :04:35.this video, asking other people to join him in the war in the Middle
:04:36. > :04:37.East. Thank you very much. Well, before we came on air,
:04:38. > :04:40.I spoke to the BBC's Security He told me that the individual
:04:41. > :04:57.fitted the picture of a susceptible It is a depressingly familiar
:04:58. > :05:00.story, I'm afraid. Very often, young Britons who go out to fight jihad
:05:01. > :05:05.have got into trouble in the past with the law, with their parents,
:05:06. > :05:09.with school. They have been quite rebellious, often involving petty
:05:10. > :05:14.crimes, some of them have got police records. And they see this as a way
:05:15. > :05:22.of cleansing, purging, turning over a new leaf, and they tend to swing
:05:23. > :05:26.very much the other way, thinking they are absolving their previous
:05:27. > :05:31.misdemeanours by going to fight jihad in what they see as a
:05:32. > :05:36.righteous cause. Of course, where these people come from, there is no
:05:37. > :05:39.relation to where they end up, but people across Aberdeen and Scotland
:05:40. > :05:43.and I will be wondering, how big a danger does this pose? The violence
:05:44. > :05:46.that we are seeing going on, conducted by ISIS and the people
:05:47. > :05:49.fighting it over in the Middle East, is anathema to most Muslims.
:05:50. > :05:59.They share nothing in common with it, and the Muslim community all
:06:00. > :06:02.around Britain are waking up in horror as seeing these videos, and
:06:03. > :06:07.Paul in most cases that their young man sneaking off, often without
:06:08. > :06:13.telling their parents, and going off to fight in a war where many of them
:06:14. > :06:16.don't come back, some of them do come back radicalised, some of them
:06:17. > :06:20.come back probably pretty traumatised, but in many cases, they
:06:21. > :06:24.are not even actually getting to fight Assad's forces, and this is
:06:25. > :06:28.what imams and Muslim community leaders are saying. They are begging
:06:29. > :06:32.people not to go out there. They are saying, you are not helping the
:06:33. > :06:36.people of Syria by doing this. So, it is a phenomenon. The numbers are
:06:37. > :06:40.getting bigger. They are still relatively small. It is estimated
:06:41. > :06:45.500 Britons including those from Scotland and Wales have gone out
:06:46. > :06:51.there to join extremist groups in Syria. Why is there a worry about
:06:52. > :06:54.this? Is there a worry about this? Isn't on one hand, the government is
:06:55. > :06:59.saying, we should support the rebels fighting Assad, and that is exactly
:07:00. > :07:02.what they are doing. The reason they worry about it is because the group
:07:03. > :07:08.that many are going to join, ISIS, the same people taking over in
:07:09. > :07:11.Iraq, so bloodthirsty, so extreme and so brutal that even Al-Qaeda has
:07:12. > :07:15.disowned them. They have been chopping off had left, right and
:07:16. > :07:20.centre in Syria. They have crucified people alive, done amputations, and
:07:21. > :07:24.on executions in cold blood on a massive scale, and the fear is that
:07:25. > :07:27.people who hang around people like that are going to come back here and
:07:28. > :07:32.wants to carry out some pretty unpleasant practices in this
:07:33. > :07:36.country. And is it this extremism then that is causing such concern to
:07:37. > :07:40.the UK Government and security services? It is causing a lot of
:07:41. > :07:44.concern, because apart from anything else, Syria is a really easy jihad
:07:45. > :07:47.for people to get to. They make contact online through internet
:07:48. > :07:51.forums, in some cases being radicalised online. It is a very
:07:52. > :07:55.compelling message, instead of sitting around, going to be given up
:07:56. > :08:00.shop on Friday night, why do you not do something for your people, come
:08:01. > :08:03.and fight. It is a very glamorous, charismatic message, which frankly
:08:04. > :08:08.isn't really being challenged very effectively by anybody. So they
:08:09. > :08:11.hopped on a cheap flights down to a neighbouring country, get a bus to
:08:12. > :08:15.the border, walk across, and suddenly, you are in the middle of a
:08:16. > :08:19.whole jihad, and the next thing, you pop up in a video with a Kalashnikov
:08:20. > :08:25.and a black flag behind you, or you are dead. Frank Gardner, thank you.
:08:26. > :08:30.When you can see more on that tonight in Scotland 2014.
:08:31. > :08:33.We will have the latest from Aberdeen, and we will discuss how
:08:34. > :08:36.much address home-grown jihad ease pose to Scotland, as well as looking
:08:37. > :08:38.a wider foreign policy. How would pose to Scotland, as well as looking
:08:39. > :08:47.a wider foreign policy. this be given tin an independent Scotland,
:08:48. > :08:51.and how much cloud would we wield? Andy Murray has made a convincing
:08:52. > :08:55.started his defence of his title. Today, he received a sending
:08:56. > :09:01.ovation. We're having a lovely time! The wine
:09:02. > :09:04.and drink was flowing at the All-England Club. Spirits were high
:09:05. > :09:09.and Henman Hill. Even if glasses were low. They had all come to see
:09:10. > :09:16.the return of the champion, and were in confident mood. Come on, Andy! He
:09:17. > :09:19.is a great competitor, and I would hope that he can come through
:09:20. > :09:23.unscathed again. I think you will manage to win today, he will come
:09:24. > :09:27.through. And as he warmed up for his big curtain call, support from a man
:09:28. > :09:32.who has also walked back out onto the big stage. It is a good time to
:09:33. > :09:36.start winning a title, in 2014, winning Wimbledon. It is possible.
:09:37. > :09:40.He has won two grand slams, the Olympics, and won Wimbledon, so he
:09:41. > :09:46.has won so much already. He doesn't have the pressure any more. There
:09:47. > :09:50.was some pressure, walking out as Britain's first men's defending
:09:51. > :09:53.champion since 1936, but he took it all in his stride. The same goes for
:09:54. > :10:01.the first set, as he whizzed through 6-1, is too strong for his Belgian
:10:02. > :10:04.opponent. His opponent but at some resistance in the second set, and
:10:05. > :10:09.Murray had to up his game to Take That 6-4. And then in the decider,
:10:10. > :10:12.the momentum swung first towards the Belgian, before the Scot strongly
:10:13. > :10:17.reasserted himself as he finally broke the serve. He saw out the
:10:18. > :10:23.match in style in just over two hours. I thought it was a very high
:10:24. > :10:28.standard match. He was maybe a little bit nervous at the beginning,
:10:29. > :10:33.but when the second and third sets came round, the level was very high
:10:34. > :10:37.and we played some great rallies. I am glad to finish it in three,
:10:38. > :10:40.because he was playing really well. A straight sets win is exactly what
:10:41. > :10:47.Andy Murray would have scripted himself for this historic day, 78
:10:48. > :10:51.years after Fred Perry's Wimbledon defence of his title, Murray got off
:10:52. > :10:57.to a flying start and will expect to continue in a similar vein on
:10:58. > :11:03.Wednesday. And more from our reporter later in
:11:04. > :11:07.the programme. It's estimated that around 15% of
:11:08. > :11:18.the Scottish population are affected Today, we learn that a new hospital
:11:19. > :11:24.to treat it will be based guard navel. Our Reporter has more.
:11:25. > :11:28.During the birth of her child, Susan Archibald was given an epidural, but
:11:29. > :11:34.it went wrong, causing nerve damage. He's now in constant pain. I explain
:11:35. > :11:39.like, if you are being burned with a cattle or something like that. If
:11:40. > :11:45.water or the wind or nothing goes near it, it is there all the time,
:11:46. > :11:49.but it is a lot worse now. -- a cattle. At one point, Susan even
:11:50. > :11:53.contemplated suicide, but instead decided to fight or better services
:11:54. > :12:00.for hundreds of thousands of people like her in chronic pain. Susan
:12:01. > :12:03.Archibald. Last year she gave evidence to the Scottish
:12:04. > :12:06.Parliament's health committee. I didn't realise exactly how emotional
:12:07. > :12:14.I would feel today. I think it is... It is taking me back to a
:12:15. > :12:18.place that I may be forgot about, actually. But for more than a
:12:19. > :12:21.decade, the Scottish Parliament has been dithering, saying something
:12:22. > :12:26.must be done about chronic pain, while services have got worse. But
:12:27. > :12:29.now, it seems there will be a change for the better. A new centre for
:12:30. > :12:40.treating chronic pain is to be set up here at Glasgow's Gartnavel
:12:41. > :12:44.hospital. It won't be able to always provide a cure, but it will help
:12:45. > :12:47.people with their conditions. Susan received a personal call from the
:12:48. > :12:52.health minister this morning. She said it was a surprise, but not
:12:53. > :12:56.entirely unexpected. I am quite a determined individual, and I just
:12:57. > :12:59.keep slogging away behind the scenes, talking to whoever I can
:13:00. > :13:03.talk to. And she is still fighting, for better care locally as well.
:13:04. > :13:06.The National Theatre of Scotland has opened its most
:13:07. > :13:09.The "Great Yes No Don't Know Five Minute Theatre Show"
:13:10. > :13:12.kicked off at five o'clock today and will stage 185 different plays -
:13:13. > :13:16.all on the subject of independence - over the next 24 hours.
:13:17. > :13:25.Our arts correspondent Pauline McLean reports.
:13:26. > :13:33.Hey, girls! What are you talking about? The referendum. From talking
:13:34. > :13:37.sheep to historical drama, just some ways these writers have approached
:13:38. > :13:41.the subject of Independence. All of them are five minutes long and can
:13:42. > :13:46.be performed anywhere. I need more than that. We have one that is being
:13:47. > :13:49.performed on a beach in Prestwick, one at the end of the pier in St
:13:50. > :13:53.Andrews, and others that are being performed on a bridge, in a green
:13:54. > :13:58.room, in a school, in somebody's house, in a park.
:13:59. > :14:02.Playwright David Gray, along with reducer David MacLennan came up with
:14:03. > :14:09.the idea of a political variety show. One was already a committed
:14:10. > :14:13.Yes, the other committed to No, but the majority of submissions would do
:14:14. > :14:19.not know. You're feeling watching is the country in a giant state of
:14:20. > :14:27."don't know", but a creative don't know. Agonise, but they don't know
:14:28. > :14:31.of thoughtfulness, of thinking. Victoria's play will kick off the
:14:32. > :14:36.24-hour marathon. It is a personal project for her. Any time you meet
:14:37. > :14:39.someone, the minute they find out you are Scottish, that is what they
:14:40. > :14:44.want to talk about. Our nation's mind is focused on the future at the
:14:45. > :14:47.moment stop and also for me, I am an expectant parent, and there's any
:14:48. > :14:54.expectant parent will tell you, the future is a big part of what you are
:14:55. > :14:59.thinking, and it's seemed like a nice fit. A personal project for
:15:00. > :15:02.everyone involved. The cocreator, David MacLennan, died just ten days
:15:03. > :15:06.ago. This, it turns out, was his final play.
:15:07. > :15:08.Grameen is the biggest international financial institution you've
:15:09. > :15:11.probably never heard of, and now it's up and running in Scotland.
:15:12. > :15:13.The intention behind it, to transform lives by lending tiny
:15:14. > :15:17.amounts of cash to people normal banks aren't interested in because
:15:18. > :15:31.This hairdresser in the East End of Glasgow is one of the first
:15:32. > :15:37.borrowers from Grameen in the UK. It is simple, it is easy to go about,
:15:38. > :15:44.and so I thought, if it is something that easy, why not? The interest is
:15:45. > :15:47.so minimal. Compare to the bank or any other lending body. The
:15:48. > :15:52.organisation was set to transform communities by transforming the
:15:53. > :15:56.lives of people normal banks and interested in. A lot of people do
:15:57. > :16:03.favours for friends and do unpaid work for people, and I realise that
:16:04. > :16:08.work has a value. So to turn it from just doing favours and to people, we
:16:09. > :16:11.are turning it into a business. Grameen was founded in Bangladesh
:16:12. > :16:15.nearly 40 years ago by turning banking rules upside down. They go
:16:16. > :16:19.to the rich, I go to the poor. They do it in the city centre, we go to
:16:20. > :16:26.remote villages. They concentrate on men, we women. They concentrate on
:16:27. > :16:29.collateral, we said forget about collateral. We are the only lawyer
:16:30. > :16:35.free bank and the whole world. Back in Parkhead, this is one small
:16:36. > :16:38.business needing grow. It doesn't matter how you start the business,
:16:39. > :16:43.it is the spirit with which you do it. If you get ?1000 from Grameen
:16:44. > :16:46.and use it wisely and by what people want, and your products are not too
:16:47. > :16:54.expensive, you will get people to buy, and they can build a business
:16:55. > :16:59.that is very big. The first step leads to 1000 mile journey.
:17:00. > :17:01.Grameen hopes to expand into the rest of Scotland and the rest of the
:17:02. > :17:04.UK in future years. Now a look at what else has been
:17:05. > :17:07.happening across the country today. Two elderly women who died
:17:08. > :17:10.when a car smashed into a tree They were sitting in the back
:17:11. > :17:14.of a car which crashed yesterday afternoon on the Colpy to
:17:15. > :17:16.Oldmeldrum Road near Tocher. The two people in the front -

:19:36. > :19:39.school. The fact we know someone who is actually carrying it is a really
:19:40. > :19:44.great opportunity for our local community. Eight-year-old Oscar
:19:45. > :19:51.brought his own. I got some pipe, and I got a lid off a Chinese box,

:20:38. > :20:40.after the opening ceremony. Today has been a wonderful day for the
:20:41. > :20:45.Queen's baton, and we will have to hope for the same during the Games,
:20:46. > :20:51.but the person who knows about that is Judith, who will have it for
:20:52. > :20:52.Fulwell forecast later. And now, the sport.
:20:53. > :21:00.It really was the most straightforward
:21:01. > :21:03.The defending Wimbledon Champion beat the Belgian David Goffin
:21:04. > :21:06.Well, Kheredine Idessane was on centre court watching for us.
:21:07. > :21:10.It all looked to go exactly to plan, Kheredine?
:21:11. > :21:19.It did indeed. It was very much a case of job done, and first hurdle
:21:20. > :21:22.Satan and negotiated. Andy Murray admits he was a bag of nerves as he
:21:23. > :21:25.walked out on centre court at 1pm this afternoon, the first British
:21:26. > :21:32.male defending champion and 78 years. But he was all smiles just
:21:33. > :21:36.after two hours later, after a straightforward, straight sets win
:21:37. > :21:42.over his Belgian opponent, 6-1, 6-4, 7-5. Good stuff from Andy Murray
:21:43. > :21:45.today, and afterwards, I got the thought of someone who is very well
:21:46. > :21:48.acquainted with the pressure of playing at Wimbledon. I thought it
:21:49. > :21:50.was a fantastic start to the tournament, because you can imagine
:21:51. > :21:52.them is very well acquainted with the pressure of playing at
:21:53. > :21:56.Wimbledon. I thought it was a fantastic start to the tournament,
:21:57. > :21:59.because you can imagine a must of Championship, but he gained through
:22:00. > :22:05.it with flying colours. What you think is possible for him? Is he in
:22:06. > :22:08.the care and shape that we can think he is a real serious contender? It
:22:09. > :22:13.has been a very difficult, mixed year for Andy. He has really taken
:22:14. > :22:16.quite a time to get going after his back surgery, and then I think we
:22:17. > :22:19.really started to see what he was capable of once again, and I think
:22:20. > :22:22.we saw the form that won him the championship last year when he
:22:23. > :22:25.played through to the semifinals of the French Open, but the defeat that
:22:26. > :22:29.he suffered at the hands of Rafael Nadal was one of the heaviest
:22:30. > :22:33.defeats we have seen of them in a grand slam championship, so I think
:22:34. > :22:37.everyone was wondering how he would respond to that defeat. He lost
:22:38. > :22:40.earlier queens, but of course, he has quite a good draw here at
:22:41. > :22:45.Wimbledon, and I think he's going to build his level as the Championship
:22:46. > :22:50.progresses. We are thinking he is probably going to be a safe bet for
:22:51. > :22:54.the second week, for the last 16, quarterfinals, semifinals, that sort
:22:55. > :22:58.of thing. I think Andy will get tougher and tougher as the
:22:59. > :23:01.Championship goes on, anything his level will build. Everyone is
:23:02. > :23:04.looking at a potential semifinal with Novak Djokovic. We don't want
:23:05. > :23:07.to get too excited on the first day of the championship, but that is
:23:08. > :23:13.what everyone is looking forward to at the moment. If you compare his
:23:14. > :23:17.daughter Rafael Nadal's, Nadal has absolute nightmare draw. Andy Murray
:23:18. > :23:23.said he played well today. He wants to maintain that, and another
:23:24. > :23:24.straight sets win would do nicely, thank you very much.
:23:25. > :23:26.Back to you. Thank you. Celtic are in discussions with KR
:23:27. > :23:28.Reykjavik over the possibility of swapping the legs of the UEFA
:23:29. > :23:31.Champions League second qualifying round tie. Celtic, who'll play
:23:32. > :23:33.their home leg at Murrayfield, want play the first leg in Iceland.
:23:34. > :23:36.Motherwell could also travel to Iceland in the Europa League.
:23:37. > :23:38.Aberdeen are up against Latvian opponents while St Johnstone head
:23:39. > :23:53.for Switzerland. John Barnes After finding out who they will
:23:54. > :23:57.face, Celtic could not hang about getting their manager to promote the
:23:58. > :24:03.tide. But what do we know of Celtic's opponents? Recce of it are
:24:04. > :24:06.the oldest and most successful Icelandic club, having won the
:24:07. > :24:17.championship 26 times. Their crown has a capacity of just under 2800.
:24:18. > :24:23.Notably, the club has never got past this stage of the Champions League.
:24:24. > :24:27.So it looks promising for Celtic. It could, of course, be worse, and a
:24:28. > :24:34.good the better, but I think it is an OK draw. Recce of it is a good
:24:35. > :24:38.team, Icelandic football has improved over the last few years, so
:24:39. > :24:41.we have to treat them with respect, but of course, we are favourites,
:24:42. > :24:46.and we will do everything to win that game. In the Europa League,
:24:47. > :24:51.Aberdeen face the Latvian club Riga in the first round, and if they win,
:24:52. > :24:58.they will take on chronic, a Dutch team, in the second row. Motherwell
:24:59. > :25:03.will play an Icelandic side or Bangor City from Wales, whereas the
:25:04. > :25:08.Swiss side lucerne take on Scottish cup winners St Johnstone.
:25:09. > :25:13.Now, a look at what else is happening across Scottish sport.
:25:14. > :25:19.Bradley Neal has won the championship at Portrush. He now has
:25:20. > :25:27.the chance to go to the US open. There was a final round of 66, with
:25:28. > :25:31.six birdies and an eagle for former open champion Katrina Matthew. This
:25:32. > :25:35.meant a top ten finish at the US women's open. Obviously delighted,
:25:36. > :25:41.66, a great score. You know, I just am I played well every day, but I
:25:42. > :25:44.got a few lucky breaks today. I believe you fortunate bounce is that
:25:45. > :25:47.perhaps ran up to the ball little bit today. It looks unlikely that
:25:48. > :25:52.the Commonwealth Games fans will be getting their hands on Usain Bolt in
:25:53. > :25:57.Glasgow. Reports from Jamaica say he has not entered the championships
:25:58. > :26:02.for selection, and he is injured. Catch up on those stories and so
:26:03. > :26:06.much more 24-hour is a day on the BBC sport Scotland website.
:26:07. > :26:09.Judith's never one to miss on a celebration,
:26:10. > :26:11.so no surprise she's in Strathclyde Park in North Lanarkshire
:26:12. > :26:26.As far as the bat and relay has been concern, we have been very lucky,
:26:27. > :26:31.and our luck is staying. We're looking at dry weather, across most
:26:32. > :26:36.of the country, if showers in the East. Across the North, clear spells
:26:37. > :26:40.over Shetland and Orkney, temperatures fine, quite low, around
:26:41. > :26:46.six Celsius, but further south, mild, and we'll see more in the way
:26:47. > :26:50.of cloud. A fairly cloudy start initially tomorrow for most parts,
:26:51. > :26:53.although from first light, lovely sunshine across the far north,
:26:54. > :26:57.Shetland and Orkney, but that cloud gradually thins and breaks as we
:26:58. > :27:03.head towards the afternoon. Come the afternoon, some bright and sunny
:27:04. > :27:07.spells for Lothian and Borders, temperatures 18 or possibly 19
:27:08. > :27:10.degrees, cloud possibly lingering a bit but lifting, the odd shower in
:27:11. > :27:14.the Southern uplands. Any showers tomorrow will be overly higher
:27:15. > :27:20.ground. In the north-west, the Western Isles farewell, and of
:27:21. > :27:24.course, the Northern Isles as well. Those conditions are similar for the
:27:25. > :27:31.likes of Grampian, Murray, and with the Angus area as well. Temperature
:27:32. > :27:35.is widely to 17 Celsius. As we had through to the evening time, it
:27:36. > :27:39.stays predominantly dry, so clear spells in the North. It could be
:27:40. > :27:43.quite take cold night. If we look at the pressure chart, we see out
:27:44. > :27:46.towards the Atlantic, there is low pressure trying to make inroads
:27:47. > :27:50.across Scotland, but thankfully, an area of high pressure to the North
:27:51. > :27:53.stars two building and actually bothered to those weather fronts
:27:54. > :27:57.trying to have our way. So for Wednesday morning, we start of dry
:27:58. > :28:01.and bright, some sunny spells, especially across eastern Scotland.
:28:02. > :28:05.We see cloud thickening up in West, and some rain pushing into the inner
:28:06. > :28:09.Hebrides, Argyll, and down towards the south-west corner. That
:28:10. > :28:14.eventually dies away, and ever it is up to around 17, 18 or 19 Celsius.
:28:15. > :28:17.On Thursday, a lot of dry, bright weather in the forecast. It looks
:28:18. > :28:19.fairly present and average is not too bad. That is your forecast.
:28:20. > :28:22.Thank you very much. Thanks. Now,
:28:23. > :28:23.a reminder of tonight's main news. The US Secretary of State John Kerry
:28:24. > :28:25.has called on Iraq's leaders to come
