:00:00. > :00:09.Can Cameron seal a deal on EU reform over dinner in Brussels?

:00:10. > :00:32.David Cameron wants his EU reform proposals at the top of the menu

:00:33. > :00:34.tonight as he dines with his European counterparts.

:00:35. > :00:39.But is his main demand too hard to swallow?

:00:40. > :00:42.We have a report from Israel, home of the last Church of Scotland

:00:43. > :00:45.school in the world, where Muslims, Christians and Jews

:00:46. > :00:50.And Scotland 2015 takes a look back at...

:00:51. > :01:02.Political tsunamis, refugee crises and broken bridges.

:01:03. > :01:04.Tonight, over fillet of venison with parsnip mousse,

:01:05. > :01:08.David Cameron got his first opportunity to lay out

:01:09. > :01:17.in detail his proposals for EU reform.

:01:18. > :01:17.But all day other European leaders have been lining up to say

:01:18. > :01:17.the Prime Minister's main demand of restricting in-work benefits

:01:18. > :01:21.for EU migrants is too tough to stomach.

:01:22. > :01:25.At stake, as they see it, are some of the founding principles

:01:26. > :01:26.of the European Union - free movement between

:01:27. > :01:32.In a moment, we'll go live to Brussels.

:01:33. > :01:54.The Prime Minister met his European counterparts tonight to press

:01:55. > :01:55.forward EU reform. Mr Cameron will then put the UK's new deal with

:01:56. > :01:57.Europe two and in-out referendum before the end of 2017. I want to

:01:58. > :02:04.see real progress in all four areas. We are not pushing for a deal

:02:05. > :02:05.tonight but we are pushing for real momentum so we can get the deal

:02:06. > :02:15.done. I will be battling hard for Britain through the night. David

:02:16. > :02:15.Cameron set four key objectives, protection of the single market for

:02:16. > :02:17.Britain, less red tape, exempting the UK from ever closer union with

:02:18. > :02:22.the EU and, controversially, restricting access to in work

:02:23. > :02:27.benefits for four years. The EU's most senior officials have cast

:02:28. > :02:33.doubt on the chances of agreement on that. The consultations I have led

:02:34. > :02:40.with all members, they show goodwill of all the parties involved, but it

:02:41. > :02:48.doesn't change the fact that some parts of the British proposal seem

:02:49. > :02:53.unacceptable. Earlier today, MSP is on Holyrood's European and external

:02:54. > :02:59.relations committee were warned that leaving the EU, if it comes to that,

:03:00. > :03:05.will be long, complex and painful. It would be a gargantuan exercise

:03:06. > :03:08.which would tie the civil service, Whitehall and the devolved

:03:09. > :03:15.administration, up in knots for years. It will paralyse the

:03:16. > :03:18.operation of day-to-day government was -- because so much time will be

:03:19. > :03:26.devoted to trying to and picking these very complicated issues. And

:03:27. > :03:28.so the implication is just for governments and government,

:03:29. > :03:35.day-to-day government, are absolutely horrendous. Whatever

:03:36. > :03:39.happens, we will be in uncharted waters, renegotiating a country's

:03:40. > :03:41.relationship with the rest of the EU while already a member.

:03:42. > :03:43.Joining me now from Brussel's is Matthew Karnitschnig,

:03:44. > :03:49.who is Politico magazine's chief correspondent for Germany.

:03:50. > :03:58.Good evening. This is an important dinner for David Cameron. How is it

:03:59. > :04:03.going so far? Well, I think he has started out by making much the same

:04:04. > :04:08.case we have seen him making to the British public and to other European

:04:09. > :04:12.leaders in recent weeks, saying that the Europeans need to be more

:04:13. > :04:17.flexible in their approach to the benefits and other issues that he is

:04:18. > :04:21.raising. We don't know yet how it has been received, but we know that

:04:22. > :04:26.he intends to speak for a few hours at least and that the dinner is

:04:27. > :04:30.still going on, so we will have to wait a bit longer before we hear

:04:31. > :04:35.what the others have to say. It wasn't looking too good for him

:04:36. > :04:38.earlier on, with various leaders including Angela Merkel lining up to

:04:39. > :04:45.save his central demand really wasn't going to fly. This is the

:04:46. > :04:48.central problem that Cameron faces, because Angela Merkel is his

:04:49. > :04:54.greatest ally on this issue and yet he doesn't have her support on this

:04:55. > :04:57.last basket, as they are calling it, the in work benefit issue. It

:04:58. > :05:02.doesn't really seem as if they are going to be able to find an easy

:05:03. > :05:07.solution to it. The other questions he is asking for, cutting red tape

:05:08. > :05:12.and so on, they are not that's controversial. But this other

:05:13. > :05:15.question about benefits and the freedom of movement, that cuts to

:05:16. > :05:19.the core of what Europe means to most countries and leaders here at

:05:20. > :05:24.the dinner, so it is not clear how he will surmount that problem.

:05:25. > :05:32.Obviously there are a lot of issues to be discussed, not least the

:05:33. > :05:37.refugee crisis. How high up the menu Cameron's proposals? I think they

:05:38. > :05:41.had the refugee discussion earlier. It was interesting to hear that he

:05:42. > :05:46.mentioned the refugee crisis itself in his introduction, and I think

:05:47. > :05:49.that is a dangerous strategy because some people might confuse him --

:05:50. > :05:55.accuse him of conflating the issues, one being the migrants coming to the

:05:56. > :06:00.EU and the other being war refugees from Syria. But the important point

:06:01. > :06:06.is that the British exit question really doesn't top the agenda in

:06:07. > :06:09.most countries in the EU at the moment. They have other problems,

:06:10. > :06:14.they are worried about the refugee crisis, Germany in particular, the

:06:15. > :06:19.other countries along the Balkan route, Austria and so on. Part of

:06:20. > :06:22.what he is doing tonight is to try and convince the other European

:06:23. > :06:27.leaders that they need to deal with this problem now and they need to

:06:28. > :06:33.come to some kind of solution by next summer in February, which is

:06:34. > :06:38.very tight. Here, opinion poles are suggesting a growing number of

:06:39. > :06:42.Britons want to leave the EU. Is there a well there among any of the

:06:43. > :06:49.leaders to help him make sure that Britain votes to stay? I think there

:06:50. > :06:54.is. The Germans, Angela Merkel in particular, really wants to keep the

:06:55. > :06:58.UK in. She recognises the economic importance of the UK, it is the

:06:59. > :07:03.second-largest economy in the EU after Germany. But there are

:07:04. > :07:07.political reasons. The UK has often been an important ally for Germany

:07:08. > :07:12.on issues of structuring the EU, on the EU budget and on trying to hold

:07:13. > :07:17.off some of what they look of the Germans regard as the profligate

:07:18. > :07:20.southerners from using the EU for their own political means. Thank you

:07:21. > :07:23.very much. The last remaining Church

:07:24. > :07:25.of Scotland school in the world What makes it even more unusual

:07:26. > :07:29.is that it teaches Christian, Muslim and Jewish children together

:07:30. > :07:34.in an attempt to create an environment of tolerance,

:07:35. > :07:36.despite the violence. But the school has become embroiled

:07:37. > :07:39.in the region's politics too. Fiona Walker has been to Israel

:07:40. > :07:42.to find out why the Church of Scotland is running

:07:43. > :07:57.a school in the Holy Land. 3000 miles away on the edge of Tel

:07:58. > :08:01.Aviv sits Jaffa, an hour from Jerusalem, an hour from Gaza.

:08:02. > :08:08.Amongst the religious conflict, which defines the Middle East, lies

:08:09. > :08:13.something of a surprise. It is nativity rehearsal time at Tabeetha

:08:14. > :08:19.school in Jaffa. Nativity is a Christian tradition but about a

:08:20. > :08:32.Jewish family. And Joseph is being played by Mohamed, who is Muslim. In

:08:33. > :08:36.the grade six Hebrew class, it is the turn of a Muslim boy to light

:08:37. > :08:47.the candle in the Jewish festival of an actor. -- Hannukah. Learning

:08:48. > :08:51.about different faiths helps the children understand each other. We

:08:52. > :08:58.are all friends, we are all connected as friends. The state of

:08:59. > :09:05.Israel can be both including all sorts of people and it can be

:09:06. > :09:10.beautiful, as it is in this class and in this school. That pretty much

:09:11. > :09:14.sums up what we are told about the ethos of the school. Whereas pupils

:09:15. > :09:18.in Israeli state schools are mainly taught separately, here, the Church

:09:19. > :09:28.of Scotland is bringing people together. Does evil really need to

:09:29. > :09:32.exist? It is subjective, what is evil for some might not be for

:09:33. > :09:38.others. The religious studies class is being taught by a teacher from

:09:39. > :09:41.Aberdeen. Over 30 years I have been here, there have been many ups and

:09:42. > :09:48.downs in the Middle East and in the school. What I see is that we are

:09:49. > :09:54.giving a safe place here for children from all backgrounds to

:09:55. > :09:58.come, to be accepted and to accept, and then to go out into the world

:09:59. > :10:04.and perhaps pass that on. That is why it is normal for these pupils to

:10:05. > :10:10.talk about politics. It is their reality. Being a student in

:10:11. > :10:15.Tabeetha, I am quite affected all round. At one point, I see my

:10:16. > :10:22.brother being stopped for wearing a gold necklace. It just looks too

:10:23. > :10:26.suspicious. From the other side, I hear my friend's family being

:10:27. > :10:34.victimised from a terrorist attack or something. It just... I don't

:10:35. > :10:40.know where to go. So what we do is learn from it. This is a great four

:10:41. > :10:46.class but in fact this is not just a classroom. We are under ground. And

:10:47. > :10:50.this is a bomb shelter. The children have to be able to get in there

:10:51. > :10:55.within 90 seconds of a siren going off, which gives you the context in

:10:56. > :10:58.which these pupils are living. This school was set up by a Scottish

:10:59. > :11:02.woman before the Middle East problems we know of today. What on

:11:03. > :11:09.earth is the Church of Scotland doing running a school in Israel?

:11:10. > :11:13.With this school in particular, because it was given to us in a

:11:14. > :11:17.will, without an obligation to continue to look after it. Because

:11:18. > :11:20.we are in the holy land, there is a real sense of needing to keep a

:11:21. > :11:25.presence here, and we felt that was important as a church. At a time

:11:26. > :11:30.when we were giving other properties away, we kept hold of it. The other

:11:31. > :11:33.reason is that this school is multi-faith, something they save the

:11:34. > :11:38.children would not get in the Israeli state system. The children

:11:39. > :11:42.you have here are children probably from the kind of backgrounds which

:11:43. > :11:47.are fairly moderate and might interact with other faiths anyway.

:11:48. > :11:52.In a way, you are preaching to the converted. We need to do what we can

:11:53. > :11:56.in this place. Will we reach everybody? No. Will we be able to

:11:57. > :12:01.challenge really extreme views? Perhaps not. But with the people who

:12:02. > :12:05.come here, they see something different, and they are the people

:12:06. > :12:10.who in the future will be able to influence those around them more

:12:11. > :12:14.than we can here today. There are concerns for the future. The funding

:12:15. > :12:17.from the Israeli government has been cut drastically. The church sees

:12:18. > :12:22.that as discrimination against Christians and they say that even

:12:23. > :12:28.the children can feel that they are not equal, like when they went to

:12:29. > :12:31.sing for the Pope in Jerusalem. The Jewish children who were there

:12:32. > :12:35.singing in the concert were given free access and were allowed to take

:12:36. > :12:39.anything with them, but our children were refused entry with their bags,

:12:40. > :12:45.they were not allowed to take their lunches in with them, and things

:12:46. > :12:48.like that, on the surface, seem petty but they actually impact quite

:12:49. > :12:53.hugely on the lives of children here. Because they see they are

:12:54. > :12:56.being treated differently. We invited the Israeli government to

:12:57. > :13:06.respond but we have not received a reply. Too young to fully understand

:13:07. > :13:11.the politics, these children sing jingle bells in Arabic before home

:13:12. > :13:14.time. Home to their life in a divided land they call the holy

:13:15. > :13:20.land. That was Fiona Walker reporting,

:13:21. > :13:23.and you can catch her documentary from Israel on Radio Scotland

:13:24. > :13:28.at 9.30am on Sunday morning. Joining me now to look back

:13:29. > :13:31.through some of the standout moments of 2015 are Katherine Trebeck,

:13:32. > :13:35.who's a policy and research advisor for Oxfam UK, and Liam Kirkaldy,

:13:36. > :13:50.a journalist with Holyrood Magazine. So I guess if we are thinking about

:13:51. > :13:54.big stories of the year, you could argue that the biggest Scottish

:13:55. > :13:57.story of the year was the general election result, the SNP tsunami

:13:58. > :14:02.that saw each of its opponents reduced to a single MP. Seems a long

:14:03. > :14:12.time ago, but this will bring back memories. Taking a risk, having a

:14:13. > :14:16.punt, having a go, that pumps me up. And if I'm getting lively about it,

:14:17. > :14:26.it's because I feel bloody likely about it. I will work with Labour.

:14:27. > :14:33.We are not going to have a coalition. We are not going to have

:14:34. > :14:47.a deal. Am I tough enough? Hell, yes, I am tough enough.

:14:48. > :14:54.We are saying the Conservatives are the largest party. Is this exit poll

:14:55. > :15:19.is right, Andrew, I will publicly eat my hat.

:15:20. > :15:28.Not only am I the youngest, but I am now also the only 20-year-old in the

:15:29. > :15:34.whole of the UK that the Chancellor is prepared to help with housing.

:15:35. > :15:45.The House will show its appreciation in a way other than clapping.

:15:46. > :15:53.Hard to believe that was all just seven months ago. Any highlights for

:15:54. > :15:57.you, Liam? For me, it would be the SNP landslide in Scotland. It was

:15:58. > :16:01.completely unprecedented. Previously, the party had a maximum

:16:02. > :16:05.of 11 MPs in its history, and to go from that to 56 was incredible. It

:16:06. > :16:10.was this time last year that Nicola Sturgeon would have come in and we

:16:11. > :16:16.would have seen the huge growth in membership. There were stories of

:16:17. > :16:19.SNP MSP is being dragged into HQ to answer phones because there was such

:16:20. > :16:25.a level of interest. This was coming from the back of the referendum. It

:16:26. > :16:28.was proof that 45% might not be enough to win a referendum, but it

:16:29. > :16:32.is enough to clean up in first past the post. Do you think anyone in the

:16:33. > :16:39.party for saw it? No. I think it was a shock for them, and fund Labour as

:16:40. > :16:44.well. And what about the UK picture, Katherine? How did the pollsters get

:16:45. > :16:49.it so wrong? To me, that is the biggest story, the huge dent put in

:16:50. > :16:52.to the prediction power of pollsters. Everything now will be

:16:53. > :16:57.taken with a huge grain of salt. Although of course, the BBC's John

:16:58. > :17:01.Curtice was right for some time. But for me, the bigger story was more a

:17:02. > :17:05.development, and that was the way the issue of inequality has risen up

:17:06. > :17:08.on the political radar, to the point that it has cost party recognition

:17:09. > :17:14.as being one of the biggest issues of our time. In October, we had

:17:15. > :17:18.credit Suisse reporting that globally, the 1% owners much wealth

:17:19. > :17:23.as the rest of the 99% of the world's publishing. In Scotland, we

:17:24. > :17:26.have seen all the parties recognise that as an issue. They have slightly

:17:27. > :17:31.different ways to tackle it, but for me, that was one of the key defining

:17:32. > :17:36.features of 2015. Thinking about Scotland and the SNP, the honeymoon

:17:37. > :17:42.has not lasted long. They are already down from 56 to 54. It is

:17:43. > :17:46.true, there have been scandals. Having lost two MPs is a blow and

:17:47. > :17:51.questions are being raised over various issues on domestic policy,

:17:52. > :18:01.things like the U-turn over cooperation, stop and search

:18:02. > :18:05.armoured policing, and issues around numeracy and literacy levels. But at

:18:06. > :18:13.the same time, the party is still polling highly and I am not sure how

:18:14. > :18:17.that would affect the public if they were to vote. On the division

:18:18. > :18:20.between wealthy and the poorer in society, we saw a budget yesterday

:18:21. > :18:24.that was described as anti-austerity, but perhaps some

:18:25. > :18:30.people were expecting more from the SNP on that. Will that dent their

:18:31. > :18:34.popularity next May? I think people will be conscious that it is tough

:18:35. > :18:39.times, but it is where those tough times come from. There are

:18:40. > :18:46.recognition is that all governments have spending choices. People are

:18:47. > :18:50.now conscious that the level of inequality and its effect on poverty

:18:51. > :18:54.is not acceptable. The fact that all parties are now recognising that is

:18:55. > :18:59.significant and hopefully, we will see that through the election

:19:00. > :19:02.campaign heading into May. They will hold each other's feet to the fire

:19:03. > :19:07.and scrutinise each other's policies. We did see an embarrassing

:19:08. > :19:12.climb-down by the Chancellor over the cuts to tax credits. Would you

:19:13. > :19:18.have expected that after them winning a majority? It was a

:19:19. > :19:25.surprise. There is still going to be 12 billion in welfare cuts. There

:19:26. > :19:31.will still be significant cuts to people's benefits, no doubt about

:19:32. > :19:35.that. I think it was largely as a result of pressure from his own

:19:36. > :19:40.backbenchers. And any signs of a Labour recovery? It is hard to look

:19:41. > :19:47.past the surge in membership of the Labour Party. In a way, there is a

:19:48. > :19:51.greater level of engagement. Certainly in Scotland, we saw the

:19:52. > :19:58.SNP surge. More people are tuned into issues of politics and engaged

:19:59. > :20:02.at different levels. Wherever you are on the political spectrum, I

:20:03. > :20:05.think it is fantastic that more people are paying attention, because

:20:06. > :20:09.that can only lead to more people being knowledgeable about politics

:20:10. > :20:14.and hopefully getting better outcomes ultimately. It is all part

:20:15. > :20:18.of an exciting dynamic. Well, soon after the general election, Scotland

:20:19. > :20:23.lost one of its longest serving and most respected MPs, the former Lib

:20:24. > :20:27.Dem leader Charles Kennedy, who had just lost his seat to the SNP. He

:20:28. > :20:59.died at the age of 55 after a battle with alcoholism.

:21:00. > :21:14.Liam, how do you think he will be best remembered? From my point of

:21:15. > :21:19.view, the thing I would think of would be his opposition to the Iraq

:21:20. > :21:23.war. That was a really important time in UK politics. It almost

:21:24. > :21:28.defined the next ten years. If you look at the vote on air strikes in

:21:29. > :21:32.Syria recently, that was one time that there will be a lot of people,

:21:33. > :21:35.particularly in the Lib Dems but also across the House of Commons,

:21:36. > :21:39.who will be thinking they could have done with advice from Charles

:21:40. > :21:44.Kennedy at that point. It was a sad end to an illustrious political

:21:45. > :21:48.career. Desperately sad, obviously for his family, but as you say, for

:21:49. > :21:53.political life to lose someone like Charles Kennedy to me, he was one of

:21:54. > :22:01.those rare people who was genuinely respected and warmly liked by all

:22:02. > :22:06.quarters. And for the profound loneliness of public life to

:22:07. > :22:11.manifest in alcoholism, it is desperately sad in every way.

:22:12. > :22:18.Moving on to probably the biggest story of the year, certainly in

:22:19. > :22:20.Europe, the refugee crisis. Merely a million migrants have entered Europe

:22:21. > :22:46.in the past year, often risking their lives in perilous journeys.

:22:47. > :22:54.As a father, I feel deeply moved by the sight of that young boy on a

:22:55. > :23:01.beach in Turkey. And Britain is a moral nation, and we will fulfil our

:23:02. > :23:05.moral responsibilities. We must respond as human beings. We simply

:23:06. > :23:10.cannot walk by on the other side of that little boy that we all were so

:23:11. > :23:30.touched by last night would just become one of many, many more.

:23:31. > :23:40.Was it that photo, of Aylan Kurdi that focused minds here in this

:23:41. > :23:44.country about what was going on? I think it was a pivotal moment. This

:23:45. > :23:48.year has been a difficult year across the world. Oxfam has

:23:49. > :23:53.responded to 37 emergencies around the world. So people are hearing

:23:54. > :23:58.heartbreaking statistics after heartbreaking statistics. And to see

:24:10. > :24:12.is natural that that embodied all those statistics which have almost

:24:13. > :24:19.become unrecognisable and certainly unpalatable to people. When we think

:24:20. > :24:22.about defining moments, to me, if the rich world can respond to this

:24:23. > :24:27.with more solidarity and compassion, this will be the defining moment of

:24:28. > :24:33.a generation, if we can sort this out. These are not migrants. I am a

:24:34. > :24:37.migrant. These people are fleeing perilous circumstances. It is the

:24:38. > :24:42.key turning point. History will look back on how we respond to the

:24:43. > :24:47.refugees. We saw in that short film, even the emotion in David Cameron

:24:48. > :24:51.and Nicola Sturgeon when they were talking about the photograph. Only,

:24:52. > :24:54.how would you compare the response north and south of the border to

:24:55. > :25:01.this crisis? I think there is a greater will in Scotland to take in

:25:02. > :25:05.more refugees. I would prefer to compare the response of the UK to

:25:06. > :25:10.somewhere like Germany. Germany has taken nearly a million refugees now,

:25:11. > :25:16.and the UK responds in comparison is pretty shameful, it is a tiny number

:25:17. > :25:20.in comparison. As for the photo itself, I was actually uncomfortable

:25:21. > :25:24.with putting that photo on the front of a newspaper. Why? If it had been

:25:25. > :25:28.a British child, I am not sure the newspapers would have done it. I

:25:29. > :25:31.question whether they would have got permission from parents. In

:25:32. > :25:35.retrospect, I think it worked, although there is also an argument

:25:36. > :25:39.that the media doesn't always cause this sort of thing, it reacts to it.

:25:40. > :25:44.So it might be that national sentiment was building up, and the

:25:45. > :25:47.papers reacted to it. In terms of how different countries responded,

:25:48. > :25:53.it is important to recognise how Scotland has responded in terms of

:25:54. > :25:56.normal, everyday people. The Syria vigils started in Scotland and then

:25:57. > :26:01.became something that was replicated around Europe. And in the last week,

:26:02. > :26:07.we have seen a lovely initiative in Glasgow, providing welcome packs for

:26:08. > :26:11.the refugees who will be housed in Glasgow. It is Scottish people at

:26:12. > :26:16.their best, recognising that it is time to open our hearts and cities

:26:17. > :26:19.to people who need us. It is not all positive reactions, though. The

:26:20. > :26:24.Paris terror attacks last month prompted some strong views about

:26:25. > :26:27.people coming from Syria, not least from US presidential hopeful Donald

:26:28. > :26:41.Trump, who managed to cause offence at home and abroad.

:26:42. > :26:51.We are not going to take them into our country. If we do take 'em in,

:26:52. > :26:56.they are going back if I win. My judgment is that he is not the kind

:26:57. > :26:58.of person that is suitable to represent Scotland in the way that

:26:59. > :27:14.global Scots do. Given that Donald Trump is keen on

:27:15. > :27:17.calling other presidential candidates and losers, look at the

:27:18. > :27:18.decision of the Supreme Court said today it is Donald Trump who the

:27:19. > :27:37.loser. What did you make of that whole

:27:38. > :27:43.spat, Liam? I thought it was bizarre. It is a pretty strange

:27:44. > :27:46.situation when you have the former First Minister of Scotland in a

:27:47. > :27:51.bizarre fallout with a presidential candidate like that. They're a lot

:27:52. > :27:56.of things you can call Donald Trump up on. It is strange that he ends up

:27:57. > :28:01.in trouble over wind farms, given the comments he has made on picking

:28:02. > :28:08.in refugees. Do you think Donald Trump is in tune with the fears of

:28:09. > :28:11.some people, though, about the world after the Paris terror attacks? Some

:28:12. > :28:17.people will understandably be scared, but it is easy to contrast

:28:18. > :28:21.his reactionary and hyperbolic comments with those of the people

:28:22. > :28:23.and the president of France, who reaffirmed their commitment to

:28:24. > :28:30.welcoming 30,000 refugees just after the attacks. The people fleeing

:28:31. > :28:35.Syria are fleeing the sort of terror that was visited on the streets of

:28:36. > :28:38.Paris. There is no clearer divergence than between those two

:28:39. > :28:47.politicians. A final mention of the story that made us all experts on

:28:48. > :28:52.the closure of the Forth Road Bridge. A huge disaster for the

:28:53. > :28:56.Scottish Government. Yeah, it is not great. I am not sure if it will put

:28:57. > :29:01.people off voting SNP in the future. I think people are so used to

:29:02. > :29:04.transport disasters that they will just put it down to bad luck. I

:29:05. > :29:08.think the key thing for them is that they have initially promised that

:29:09. > :29:10.things will be back by the end of the year. If weather delays, there

:29:11. > :29:12.be strife. We're taking a break over

:29:13. > :29:16.the festive season and we'll be back Until then, have a good
