:00:20. > :00:23.than 60 people are known to have are still thought to be inside,

:00:23. > :00:31.though there are reports many have now been freed in the operation. I

:00:31. > :00:35.saw about 12 bodies on the rooftop. There was a tent where a cookery

:00:35. > :00:39.competition for children was going on. There were bodies lying under

:00:39. > :00:45.there. There's a very famous radio presenter in Kenya, an Asian lady,

:00:45. > :00:49.she was shot. The scene was carnage. Here, the Defence Secretary leads an

:00:49. > :00:58.emergency meeting in Whitehall and offers assistance to the Kenyan

:00:58. > :01:02.authorities. Also, we got things wrong. Ed Balls tells the Labour

:01:02. > :01:08.Party conference, we've learned from mistakes made in office. Rolf Harris

:01:08. > :01:15.appears in court accused of indecently assaulting two goals and

:01:32. > :01:34.councils deny breaking the law. And how a 17th century warship could be

:01:34. > :01:59.built in Deptford. Good afternoon. In the past few

:01:59. > :02:03.hours, heavy gunfire and explosions have rocked the shopping Mall in

:02:03. > :02:09.Nairobi, security forces confirm an operation is under way to end the

:02:09. > :02:12.stand-off between Kenyan security forces and Somali militants. This

:02:12. > :02:15.morning the Foreign Office said four Britons were among more than 60

:02:15. > :02:18.people who are known to have been killed in the siege, which began on

:02:18. > :02:25.Saturday. These are the pictures from Nairobi now, from the Westgate

:02:25. > :02:28.shopping centre. Kenya's Interior Minister said those plumes of smoke

:02:28. > :02:35.have been caused by the militants setting mattresses alight as a

:02:35. > :02:39.decoy. It is thought there are still hostages in the shopping centre.

:02:39. > :02:43.Many are reported to have been freed. We will have the latest from

:02:43. > :02:47.the scene, as well as an assessment from our security correspondent,

:02:47. > :02:51.Frank Gardner, on the background to the attack. Our African Carol --

:02:51. > :02:58.respondent has just sent this report from Nairobi. Two days into the

:02:58. > :03:03.Kenyan shopping centre siege, and a tense stand-off continues. Sporadic

:03:03. > :03:07.gunfire rang out early this morning, but no final assault by Kenyan

:03:08. > :03:12.troops. A thick plume of smoke could be seen billowing from above the

:03:12. > :03:16.Westgate shopping centre. It is not clear at this stage if the men set

:03:17. > :03:21.the place on fire or whether Kenyan security forces are using it as a

:03:21. > :03:24.tactic to advance. The armed attackers, Somali militants,

:03:24. > :03:32.possibly more than a dozen of them, are still believed to be holding

:03:32. > :03:43.hostages. A revenge, they claim, for Somali troops on soil. This is the

:03:43. > :03:51.scene, terrifying families out for a day at the shops. In a brief lull,

:03:51. > :03:54.hundreds of terrified men, women and children ran to safety. It is

:03:54. > :03:58.believed many could be trapped inside, and there's almost certainly

:03:58. > :04:04.more dead to be accounted for. Witnesses who fled describe horrific

:04:04. > :04:08.scenes. A grenade was thrown at us. It went off and at the same time

:04:08. > :04:17.scenes. A grenade was thrown at us. shot at us. It missed my son by an

:04:17. > :04:22.inch. It bounced off the wall and hit the boy who was next to him.

:04:22. > :04:25.There was a tent where a cookery competition for children was going

:04:25. > :04:31.on. There were bodies lying under there. There was a very famous radio

:04:31. > :04:34.presenter in Kenya, an Asian lady, she was shot. The scene was carnage.

:04:35. > :04:42.There was a guy lying right in the corner, he was cut to shreds. As the

:04:42. > :04:47.media and emergency services waited for more news, a certain dive for

:04:47. > :04:51.cover as a tense moment of confusion in a nation still traumatised by

:04:51. > :05:02.what is going on. I'm very surprised with the attack. We are very grieved

:05:02. > :05:06.and offer support to our family, friends and Kenyans who have died,

:05:06. > :05:14.and even the ones who have not escaped. We are not happy. It is

:05:14. > :05:19.cowardice, an act of terror. It is really cowardice. Many are praying

:05:19. > :05:23.for this nightmare to end. But everyone knows a watershed has now

:05:23. > :05:32.been crossed and, whatever the outcome, Kenya will never be the

:05:32. > :05:34.same again. The BBC's correspondent has been reporting from the Westgate

:05:34. > :05:40.shopping centre since the attack took place on Saturday. She is there

:05:40. > :05:47.now. A very fluid situation, what is the latest? As you can see in the

:05:47. > :05:51.background, thick, black smoke is still billowing from that building.

:05:51. > :05:55.We understand from the authorities that this may have been a controlled

:05:55. > :05:56.explosion, so that they could get in through the roof. The authorities

:05:56. > :06:03.also tell us that some hostages have through the roof. The authorities

:06:03. > :06:09.been freed as of this morning. At least ten of them that's according

:06:09. > :06:17.to the military. It isn't clear how many have been freed this afternoon

:06:17. > :06:21.here. The stand-off continues, we do not know how long it will last or

:06:21. > :06:28.Howard is going to end. We are just going to wait. Do not know if these

:06:28. > :06:32.people have supplies. Both the government and the hostages, having

:06:32. > :06:35.been there for three days, you can imagine it could be quite a

:06:35. > :06:38.devastating situation. One person who spoke to us told us that his

:06:38. > :06:43.wife and child are in there. He doesn't know their fate will stop

:06:43. > :06:46.but if there is a two-year-old child-bearing who has gone three

:06:46. > :06:53.days without food and water, that's a very devastating situation. -

:06:53. > :06:57.match child in there. David Cameron has cut short a visit to Balmoral to

:06:57. > :07:01.lead a meeting of the government's emergency meeting this afternoon. It

:07:01. > :07:05.will be investigating reports that Britons may have been part of the

:07:05. > :07:08.Al-Shabaab group which has carried out the attack, and also to

:07:08. > :07:10.Al-Shabaab group which has carried establish more details about UK

:07:10. > :07:18.citizens who have been confirmed to be among the dead. At Nairobi's

:07:18. > :07:22.embattled Westgate shopping Mall, Kenyan forces have the complex

:07:22. > :07:26.surrounded but the death toll continues to rise. Britons have not

:07:26. > :07:31.been spared and the Prime Minister is chairing today's crisis

:07:31. > :07:36.committee, dubbed Cobra. I can confirm that there is a fourth

:07:36. > :07:41.British national confirmed dead, and next of kin have been informed. We

:07:41. > :07:45.are in touch with the Kenyan authorities. We stand ready to

:07:45. > :07:48.provide them with any additional assistance they require. We will be

:07:48. > :07:52.monitoring the situation throughout the day and the Prime Minister is

:07:52. > :07:56.returning to London to chair a further meeting later this

:07:56. > :08:01.afternoon. The attack began at midday on Saturday at Nairobi's

:08:01. > :08:04.upmarket Westgate shopping centre. It's a multistorey complex, one of

:08:04. > :08:07.the newest in East Africa, and popular with both Kenyan and

:08:07. > :08:12.expatriates. The attackers, numbering between ten to 15 people,

:08:13. > :08:16.sprayed machine-gun fire and threw grenades. They appeared to target

:08:16. > :08:21.non-Muslims, even shooting small children. There you can see the

:08:21. > :08:26.supermarket, which is located over the first two floors. After more

:08:26. > :08:32.than 48 hours, the attackers and an unknown number of hostages still

:08:32. > :08:33.thought to be up there. It took the Kenyan authorities nearly 30 minutes

:08:33. > :08:38.thought to be up there. It took the to arrive on the scene, but they

:08:38. > :08:41.have since managed to extract most of those inside. Alongside private

:08:41. > :08:46.security guards on the scene, Israeli ad buyers of -- advisers are

:08:46. > :08:50.believed to be working closely with the Kenyans. Britain has already got

:08:50. > :08:54.forces in the country and has offered help, but it's not clear if

:08:54. > :08:58.that will mean military assistance. This is a Kenyan operation. Our

:08:58. > :09:03.soldiers and advisers will be advising them, they will not be at

:09:03. > :09:07.the front of this. The group that launched the attack is Somalia's

:09:07. > :09:10.Al-Shabaab militants. They are a band, insurgent group linked to

:09:10. > :09:20.Al-Qaeda. Numbering only a few thousand and with a shrinking power

:09:20. > :09:22.base, they've carried out numerous attacks both inside Somalia and in

:09:22. > :09:24.Kenya and Uganda. They've been making frequent media statements

:09:24. > :09:30.ever since the siege began. There was a rumour spreading round, saying

:09:30. > :09:37.that American, British, different nationalities... Non-that is true.

:09:37. > :09:43.There will be non-negotiations. This whole grisly stand-off is painfully

:09:43. > :09:44.met -- reminiscent of the Mumbai siege of 2008. Counter-terrorism

:09:44. > :09:47.officials around the world always siege of 2008. Counter-terrorism

:09:47. > :09:55.feared it would be repeated, it has been. The Al-Shabaab group has said

:09:55. > :09:59.it carried out the attack because of the present in Somalia Kenyan

:09:59. > :10:02.troops. They are there as part of African union forces trying to stop

:10:02. > :10:09.fighting between different warring factions. They were also responsible

:10:09. > :10:15.for driving out from the port of dismay of a year ago.

:10:15. > :10:24.I'm at a military base of the African union troops. The high walls

:10:24. > :10:29.behind me, just a couple of hundred yards from their, the first

:10:29. > :10:34.positions of the Kenyan and other African union soldiers. Every night,

:10:34. > :10:37.I've been here for a week, there is a firefight as Al-Shabaab approach

:10:37. > :10:41.this place and then get driven away. But I have been outside these walls

:10:41. > :10:48.and into town, driving with the African troops. Armed men have

:10:48. > :10:55.always ruled Somalia. These African union troops are the latest. But

:10:55. > :11:02.they have a mandate from the United Nations to be here. Their task? Keep

:11:02. > :11:06.Al-Shabaab at bay at -- if possible and encourage a Somali government to

:11:06. > :11:12.emerge. The terrible living conditions upmost Somalis show how

:11:12. > :11:16.difficult these ambitions. This farmer, whose identity we've

:11:16. > :11:25.disguised, said he fled his land after Al-Shabaab to control there.

:11:25. > :11:34.TRANSLATION: If you have a farm, they will take half of it. They will

:11:34. > :11:38.arrest you all will banish you. The troops do what they can to control

:11:38. > :11:42.the situation, but they are battling against a long history of unrest.

:11:42. > :11:46.Somalia has come to this state of affairs because the tribes here, all

:11:46. > :11:50.plans as they are known in Somalia, have been fighting each other for

:11:50. > :11:58.years. The Islamist saw this confusion and moved into exploit it.

:11:58. > :12:04.The local Somali government forces are disorganised. Most people here

:12:04. > :12:08.think if the African Union soldiers were to leave, the situation here

:12:08. > :12:17.would get rapidly worse. If they left, how long would you last five

:12:17. > :12:23.minutes, one hour? I can't predict. It may take long, it may take

:12:23. > :12:26.short, but what we are fighting is not Americans or Britain. We are

:12:26. > :12:32.short, but what we are fighting is fighting with the Somalians. We can

:12:32. > :12:38.persist for a long time or we can... They may defeat us soon. The

:12:38. > :12:40.international community has tried to bring a new audio -- new order to

:12:40. > :12:51.Somalia many times. But many times bring a new audio -- new order to

:12:51. > :12:53.it has failed. Somalia, the cradle perhaps of the situation in

:12:53. > :12:56.it has failed. Somalia, the cradle neighbouring Kenya. This is a

:12:56. > :13:02.difficult and dangerous place and it has been for many years. The BBC

:13:02. > :13:08.News Channel will have more on that developing story throughout the

:13:08. > :13:12.afternoon. The Shadow Chancellor, Ed Balls, has told his party conference

:13:12. > :13:15.that Labour got wings wrong during its time in office, but the new

:13:16. > :13:19.Labour government would be different. He's been setting out his

:13:19. > :13:28.plans for the economy, including plans for 25 hours of free childcare

:13:28. > :13:31.in England. The man who wants to be the next Chancellor of the

:13:31. > :13:36.Exchequer, Ed Balls, says he is taking a grown-up approach to

:13:36. > :13:40.politics. His £800 million pledge on childcare will be fully costed with

:13:40. > :13:43.the bank is footing the bill. It's all part of Labour's message that

:13:43. > :13:48.they can help out with what they are calling a cost of living crisis. I'm

:13:48. > :13:52.saying the government shouldn't be cutting taxes for the banks. Raise

:13:52. > :13:59.the bank levy and make work pay for working families. We will say we

:13:59. > :14:04.will increase childcare from £15 -- 15 to 25 hours for working parents,

:14:04. > :14:08.so they can get to work. Labour says 400,000 families in England will

:14:08. > :14:13.benefit, saving them up to £1500 a year each. But Ed Balls will have to

:14:13. > :14:16.convince voters that it doesn't he have powered the qualities but he

:14:16. > :14:20.can pay for them. The message is Labour won't fritter away your cash

:14:20. > :14:23.if you trust them with power again. They say you don't have to take a

:14:23. > :14:26.gamble on them because all the spending pledges in the next

:14:26. > :14:32.manifesto will be independently audited. Ed Balls told his party

:14:32. > :14:36.conference that the independent Office for Budget Responsibility, or

:14:36. > :14:42.obi art, would when its rule over Labour's spending plans. That people

:14:42. > :14:45.want to know that the sums add up. This is the first time a Shadow

:14:45. > :14:50.Chancellor, the first time any political party has ever said he

:14:50. > :14:53.wants this kind of independent order. The government accused the

:14:53. > :14:58.Labour leadership of devising a gimmick, one which they've got no

:14:58. > :15:00.power to enforce. A former Conservative policy chief says Ed

:15:00. > :15:05.Balls should be careful what he wishes for. The obi are is a real

:15:05. > :15:09.constraint. That's why they didn't have an OBE when Labour was last in

:15:09. > :15:12.government. He won't be able to say, this will bring us in hundreds of

:15:12. > :15:17.millions of pounds. He will be able to say, this doesn't cost any --

:15:17. > :15:22.very much. He will have hard figures. Labour believes that it.

:15:22. > :15:31.Any slide in the polls, but convincing voters they can pay for

:15:31. > :15:35.their won't be child's play. Let's get more from our chief political

:15:35. > :15:40.correspondent, also at the conference.

:15:40. > :15:45.The heart of Mr Balls' speech was the issue of public spending. The

:15:45. > :15:48.easy part of the conference is to come forward with spending pledges

:15:48. > :15:52.to ease the cost of living crisis, hence we had that announcement today

:15:52. > :15:59.of more free childcare. The difficult part is convincing voters

:15:59. > :16:02.that the sums add up. So Mr Balls has handed over the manifesto to the

:16:02. > :16:07.Office for Budget Responsibility, which I think trade and nagging fear

:16:07. > :16:13.in his mind that voters are still do not trust Labour on the economy.

:16:13. > :16:20.That is why Mr bills' speech was bristling with fiscal rigour. -- Mr

:16:20. > :16:24.Balls' speech. He said that Labour would not reverse all of the

:16:24. > :16:28.coalition's cuts, and he floated the idea of not going ahead with

:16:28. > :16:33.high-speed rail if the bills go up and up. He suggested it was becoming

:16:33. > :16:37.a vanity project for Mr Cameron, and the question now wasn't whether it

:16:37. > :16:44.was a good idea, but whether it was value for money. If Labour

:16:44. > :16:47.backtracks on HS2, that will cause a stink in the Labour ranks and the

:16:48. > :16:52.business com unity. Mr Balls is under lots of pressure to show he

:16:52. > :16:55.has got a grip on spending, and it underlines the fact that this

:16:55. > :17:00.conference is not just about the cost of living crisis, but about the

:17:00. > :17:04.fact that Labour is trying to reassure voters that it can be

:17:04. > :17:08.trusted on the economy. Rolf Harris has appeared in court

:17:08. > :17:14.facing charges of sexual offences and creating indecent images of a

:17:14. > :17:22.child. It is part of Operation Yewtree, which is examining historic

:17:22. > :17:27.allegations of child abuse. Rolf Harris has been entertaining

:17:27. > :17:33.British audiences since the 1950s. He is now 83, and facing a criminal

:17:34. > :17:40.trial. He entered court, his wife, in blue, by his side, surrounded by

:17:40. > :17:44.photographers and reporters. At least one supporter mingled with the

:17:44. > :17:50.media. In a packed courtroom, he walked slowly into the dock, and at

:17:50. > :17:54.one point, put out a hand to steady himself. After he confirmed his name

:17:54. > :18:01.and address, the court heard the charges were the serious nature, and

:18:01. > :18:04.the would be transferred -- the case would be transferred to Southwark

:18:04. > :18:13.Crown Court. He is accused of an indecent assault against a girl aged

:18:13. > :18:17.15 and 16 in 1980 -- 1980 and 1981. There is another accusation of an

:18:17. > :18:22.indecent assault, and also of making indecent images last year. Mr

:18:23. > :18:27.Harris' lawyers have just indicated here that he will plead not guilty

:18:28. > :18:32.to these charges. The maximum charges for the alleged offences in

:18:32. > :18:37.the early 80s will be two years in prison, but in 1985, the penalties

:18:37. > :18:43.were changed, and is convicted of indecent assault in 1986, Rolf

:18:43. > :18:47.Harris could face up to ten years in prison. His arrest interrupted a

:18:47. > :18:53.career that has continued to flourish, on TV, as an artist who

:18:53. > :18:56.once painted the Queen, and as an entertainer. At a music festival in

:21:26. > :21:30.without us. The power of the sun varies. There are patterns of

:21:30. > :21:36.warming and cooling in the oceans. So we are talking about how our

:21:36. > :21:41.timid teas are adding to that process. How greenhouse gases from

:21:41. > :21:46.our homes, cars and factories are Excel rating those changes. That is

:21:46. > :21:51.what the United Nations climate science panel will be investigating

:21:52. > :21:56.this week. Carbon dioxide all over the world has just reached a record

:21:56. > :22:01.level, but something surprising has happened. Despite all this, for 15

:22:01. > :22:06.years, there has been a pause in warming - no rise in the global

:22:06. > :22:11.temperature of the air. Global warming is carrying on. We see this

:22:11. > :22:16.in the ocean that continues to warm, and sea levels that continue

:22:16. > :22:21.to rise. We have always expected to see shorter periods of less warming,

:22:21. > :22:25.and periods of much more rapid warming. If you look back over the

:22:25. > :22:31.last century, you see precisely that. The UN panel last reported six

:22:31. > :22:35.years ago, and there were a few mistakes in their work. This time,

:22:35. > :22:39.the find his star under more pressure. They must explain why the

:22:39. > :22:42.warming has paused to convince people to listen to their warnings

:22:42. > :22:48.of what could be dangerous changes to come.

:22:48. > :22:53.Even Angela Merkel herself had to admit that her party had done

:22:53. > :22:59.something fantastic. Last night, the German Chancellor's Christian

:22:59. > :23:02.Democrats party won an historic third term. The markets reacted

:23:02. > :23:09.positively to the victory this morning, with the euro rising in

:23:09. > :23:15.value against the dollar. In the shadow of the new Bunder stag

:23:15. > :23:22.offices, and election poster flaps in the wind. -- Bundestag offices.

:23:22. > :23:28.The day after the excitement of the night before. With a hint of a jig,

:23:28. > :23:32.Chancellor Merkel rejoiced with party workers. She starts her third

:23:32. > :23:41.term as leader of Germany stronger than ever.

:23:41. > :23:48.TRANSLATION: Tonight, we celebrate, and tomorrow we get back to work.

:23:48. > :23:53.This is a big victory for Angela Merkel, no doubt about that. It is a

:23:53. > :23:57.personal victory as well because the campaign was so closely focused on

:23:57. > :24:03.her. Now, the negotiations start with her party and other parties,

:24:03. > :24:07.particularly the Social Democrats. The SPD will now talk to Angela

:24:07. > :24:13.Merkel's CDU to see if they can work together, but her party is the

:24:13. > :24:22.strongest. The Christian Democrats 142% of the vote. The centre-left

:24:22. > :24:26.SPD came second, with 26%. The Free Democrats, Chancellor Merkel's

:24:26. > :24:32.previous coalition partners, got just 4.8%, leaving them with no

:24:32. > :24:39.seats in the new parliament. So what changes in Angela Merkel's third

:24:39. > :24:48.term? It is like Helmut Kohl in his best days, so critics have no say

:24:48. > :24:54.any longer. In Europe, David Cameron and other heads of government can

:24:54. > :24:58.say it is my way or no way. It is all about who runs the Bundestag.

:24:58. > :25:02.There will now be much wheeling and dealing to find a coalition that can

:25:02. > :25:08.be maintained, but throughout, Chancellor Merkel will be in the

:25:08. > :25:11.driving seat. It was a rather disappointing night

:25:11. > :25:18.for British television programmes and actors at last night's Emmy

:25:18. > :25:22.Awards. The American film about Liberace, Behind The Candelabra,

:25:22. > :25:28.picked up Best film, and Michael Douglas picked up an award for his

:25:28. > :25:31.betrayal of Liberace. Downton Abbey, stars like Dame Maggie Smith

:25:31. > :25:37.and Damian Lewis, came away empty-handed.

:25:37. > :25:40.Tonight we celebrate the best of television. For our younger

:25:40. > :25:46.audience, that is the thing you watch on your phones.

:25:46. > :25:52.A nod to Kevin Spacey's house of cards. It was the first time an

:25:52. > :25:57.Internet broadcaster won an Emmy. It was amongst some well-known names in

:25:57. > :26:05.the drama category. But the big prize went to Breaking Bad. Modern

:26:05. > :26:15.family, one of America's most popular sitcoms, took best comedy.

:26:15. > :26:19.But the night's big winner, taking best TV movie, was Behind The

:26:19. > :26:22.Candelabra, telling the life of Liberace, and starring Matt Damon

:26:22. > :26:30.and Michael Douglas, who beat his co-star to best actor. You were

:26:30. > :26:37.magnificent. The only reason I am standing here is because of you, so

:26:37. > :26:42.you deserve half of this. Sir Elton John wrote and performed a song in

:26:42. > :26:47.memory of Liberace, the man who inspired him and his dress sense.

:26:47. > :26:55.But there were few British winners. Nothing big for Downton Abbey. The

:26:55. > :27:03.BBC newsroom miniseries The Hour won Best writer for Abi Morgan. So a

:27:03. > :27:12.year with no real runaway winner, but lots of Tracy 's and champagne.

:27:12. > :27:15.-- lots of trophies. The celebrations for England's

:27:15. > :27:19.summer Ashes victory have barely ended before the team have turned

:27:19. > :27:23.summer Ashes victory have barely their attention to the tour down

:27:23. > :27:34.under. We were at the team launch at Lord's. Last week, Australia fly

:27:34. > :27:38.home. Next week, England fly out to Australia. It is a unique situation,

:27:38. > :27:49.back-to-back asses -- Ashes competitions. Gary Ballance, who

:27:49. > :27:55.learnt his cricket in Zimbabwe, has a good record in Yorkshire but is a

:27:55. > :28:01.surprise selection. Then there is Ben Stokes, New Zealand born and

:28:01. > :28:06.developed in Durham. An all-rounder, he could develop into the new Andrew

:28:06. > :28:10.Flintoff. Those players have lots of potential, but none of them were

:28:10. > :28:11.actually born in England. I asked the national selector if that

:28:12. > :28:18.matters. They have come into English the national selector if that

:28:18. > :28:21.cricket and have developed towards what we require of them

:28:21. > :28:26.internationally, so they have done all that has been asked of them, and

:28:26. > :28:32.showing the passion to play for England. They have justified being

:28:32. > :28:37.selected for England. The process has been accentuated by what they

:28:37. > :28:42.have done in England. A lot of English cricket fans will be pleased

:28:42. > :28:47.to see Monty Panesar in the England squad. He has had a pretty public

:28:47. > :28:52.fall from race, released from his county early in the summer. He is in

:28:52. > :28:57.the squad and says he is thrilled. We can look forward to the Ashes

:28:57. > :29:06.once again. Time now to take you to the weather, with Phil Avery.

:29:06. > :29:12.It is a complete change at the moment. The weather fronts that

:29:12. > :29:17.would normally affect us at this time of year are being held at bay

:29:17. > :29:21.in the Atlantic. Over the next few days, the high pressure that is

:29:21. > :29:24.keeping things that they will gradually ease away to the near

:29:24. > :29:30.continent and lose its influence. That weather front will become a bit

:29:30. > :29:34.of a bother for northern parts of England. This afternoon, pretty much

:29:34. > :29:38.what you have got is what you will keep. Perhaps a little bit more

:29:38. > :29:43.clouds towards the eastern shores of England. Perhaps we will import

:29:43. > :29:47.drier air across some Southern counties, and where you have had a

:29:47. > :29:56.faulty start to the day, there is a chance of seeing a bit of sunshine.

:29:56. > :29:58.With sunshine, things will be quite chance of seeing a bit of sunshine.

:29:58. > :30:01.warm, around 20 degrees. The Midlands are stuck with low-level

:30:01. > :30:06.cloud. Western Wales, fine and dandy, the western side of Northern

:30:06. > :30:10.Ireland around 21 degrees. Then it is all change in the north of

:30:10. > :30:19.Scotland. Here, you have a weather fronts that is going to be with you

:30:19. > :30:24.for a while yet. The evening will be a balmy affair. Rather pleasant

:30:24. > :30:30.while the sun is up. There will be a fair amount of mist and fog, but not

:30:30. > :30:36.a cold night by any means, although the court -- the fog could be very

:30:36. > :30:39.dense. If you are travelling across parts of England -- parts of East

:30:39. > :30:45.Anglia and the south-east, particularly. On Tuesday, something

:30:45. > :30:50.of an East-West split. The east Coast stuck with a bit more cloud,

:30:50. > :30:55.which affects the temperatures. We have still got that rain across the

:30:55. > :30:59.north, which will become more extensive with time across northern

:30:59. > :31:06.parts of Britain. If you get on the cold side of that weather front, as

:31:06. > :31:09.the Northern are at the moment, 13 could be yours. Temperatures

:31:09. > :31:16.elsewhere are at par for this time of the year. Across Scotland, a

:31:16. > :31:21.north-easterly breeze is putting a dent in the temperatures, but in the

:31:21. > :31:25.south, nothing like it. There will not be wall-to-wall sunshine, but we

:31:25. > :31:27.are in with a chance of keeping temperatures up at around 20

:31:27. > :31:34.degrees. Thank you. An operation is under way

:31:34. > :31:38.to end the siege at a Kenyan shopping mall, as the Foreign Office

:31:38. > :31:44.says four Britons are among the dead. That's all from us. More
