:01:30. > :01:57.at a drop-in centre in London. Good afternoon. Welcome to the BBC
:01:58. > :02:01.news. David Cameron's car has been mobbed by demonstrators in northern
:02:02. > :02:07.Sri Lanka, protesting against alleged human rights abuses by the
:02:08. > :02:09.government. As the convoy arrived, scores of people surrounded the
:02:10. > :02:14.vehicle, carrying photographs of loved ones they claim have been
:02:15. > :02:20.kidnapped and murdered since the end of the Civil War in 2009. Some
:02:21. > :02:25.leaders have boycotted the meeting, however, the British government says
:02:26. > :02:29.in gauging with this government is the right thing to do, even though
:02:30. > :02:39.claims of war crimes must be investigated. David Cameron's convoy
:02:40. > :02:44.surrounded by women carrying photographs of loved ones they say
:02:45. > :02:47.have disappeared. They accuse the Sri Lankan government of snuffing
:02:48. > :02:56.out dissent. The motorcade could not move as security services pushed
:02:57. > :02:59.protesters away. David Cameron deliberately made this trip to
:03:00. > :03:07.highlight alleged abuses of human rights, as he's explained. I think
:03:08. > :03:12.it is important to shine a spotlight on what has happened in this country
:03:13. > :03:15.and speak up against abuses that have taken place, and make sure
:03:16. > :03:20.people in the north of the country have a proper voice. The tension
:03:21. > :03:28.over human rights makes the Prince of Wales's Pask really difficult
:03:29. > :03:30.one. His first duty is opening a meeting that three Commonwealth
:03:31. > :03:37.prime ministers have pulled out of. Many others are quite happy to see
:03:38. > :03:42.the president given the prestige of the event, but David Cameron kept
:03:43. > :03:46.his handshake formal and brief. Commonwealth Summit always try to
:03:47. > :03:52.stress harmony and the shared values meant to underpin this club. Today,
:03:53. > :04:03.Sri Lanka's president used his speech to bat away all charges of
:04:04. > :04:10.abuse. In 2009, we asserted the greatest human rights, the right to
:04:11. > :04:19.life. I am happy to state that in the past four years there has not
:04:20. > :04:26.been a single incident anywhere in Sri Lanka. It was left to Prince
:04:27. > :04:32.Charles to deliver words very carefully chosen by speech writers,
:04:33. > :04:38.hinting at problems. Everyone of us is here because of the hope and
:04:39. > :04:45.trust we place in the Commonwealth to bring that touch of healing to
:04:46. > :04:51.our troubles and deliver the very best future for our people. For all
:04:52. > :04:54.the colour and ceremony which accompanies any opening of a
:04:55. > :05:00.Commonwealth Summit, even a herd of elephants cannot conceal the
:05:01. > :05:04.controversy and division which the decision to bring this summit to Sri
:05:05. > :05:07.Lanka has created. In their discussions the leaders will try to
:05:08. > :05:13.focus on challenges of economic and political development, but the
:05:14. > :05:20.Commonwealth family is not looking happy. More alive from Colombo. Is
:05:21. > :05:27.there a concern that this issue is going to overshadow the conference?
:05:28. > :05:33.It has certainly overshadowed the opening day, there is no doubt about
:05:34. > :05:38.that. It is unusual for three Commonwealth prime ministers to stay
:05:39. > :05:47.away. It is unusual for a fourth to accent himself. -- absent himself.
:05:48. > :05:50.It has split the Commonwealth because many think this is the wrong
:05:51. > :05:54.approach, they think the focus should be on some of the economic
:05:55. > :05:58.and social issues which are on the development agenda of the formal
:05:59. > :06:03.talks. The problem for the Commonwealth is it commits itself to
:06:04. > :06:08.a strong code of values, including the upholding of human rights,
:06:09. > :06:13.principles to do with freedom, and several members of this club think
:06:14. > :06:18.Sri Lanka has broken those rules. The relevance of the Commonwealth is
:06:19. > :06:20.also under question. It is going to be a difficult couple of days. Thank
:06:21. > :06:29.you. Around a million of the oldest or
:06:30. > :06:34.free list patients in England are to get more intensive support from
:06:35. > :06:39.their GP. One third of hospital admissions involve people over 75,
:06:40. > :06:42.so NHS England wants to relieve the pressure by at think doctors to
:06:43. > :06:48.identify their free list patients so they can get the care they need
:06:49. > :06:56.without having to visit a hospital. -- frailest patients. Doctors now
:06:57. > :07:01.provide a broad range of care. In this practice, GPs even carry out
:07:02. > :07:04.minor surgery. But there have been consistent complaints that too much
:07:05. > :07:08.time is spent on bureaucracy rather than looking after the raw
:07:09. > :07:14.vulnerable patients -- most vulnerable patients. Every year, GPs
:07:15. > :07:20.redo their contract with the government. We hope these changes
:07:21. > :07:29.will take away a whole raft of unnecessary and pointless box
:07:30. > :07:32.ticking, chasing targets, and will allow GPs to actually have the time
:07:33. > :07:38.and space to attend to the need of their patients. Under the contract,
:07:39. > :07:44.every patient in England under seven -- over 75 will be named and
:07:45. > :07:49.accountable GP, to ensure they receive coordinated care. There will
:07:50. > :07:53.be an enhanced service for the most frail and elderly patients. For
:07:54. > :08:00.those who end up in hospital, GPs will oversee their care. This
:08:01. > :08:04.restores that vital link between GPs and the patients they are there to
:08:05. > :08:12.look after. I would like to do it more widely than this, but it is a
:08:13. > :08:15.very important first step. These changes are designed to put doctors
:08:16. > :08:21.surgeries like this one right at the heart. They should also ease the
:08:22. > :08:28.pressure on an already hard-pressed accident and emergency area.
:08:29. > :08:33.Attendances at accident and emergency are likely to increase
:08:34. > :08:39.over winter. Faced with an ageing population, many doctors argue a
:08:40. > :08:45.more fundamental transfer of the health service is needed. We need to
:08:46. > :08:48.switch money from hospitals to looking after people in their homes
:08:49. > :08:54.and communities, by switching the technology from an acute system to a
:08:55. > :08:57.primary care system. The care of the growing number of elderly and frail
:08:58. > :09:02.patients is the biggest challenge facing the NHS. These changes will
:09:03. > :09:09.not come in until next April and the pressure of a difficult winter lies
:09:10. > :09:13.ahead. Our health correspondent is with me. Does this mean everyone
:09:14. > :09:18.will get better treatment in surgery in future? For the average working
:09:19. > :09:22.person, trying to get an appointment with their busy GP practice, there
:09:23. > :09:30.is not much extra, no difference in this new contract. GPs are also
:09:31. > :09:35.being given a little bit of leeway. They will no longer have to give you
:09:36. > :09:41.at least ten minutes. They can give you more if they think you need it
:09:42. > :09:44.and less if they don't. This is all about focusing the efforts on the
:09:45. > :09:48.people who are sickest and who are most likely to end up in hospital.
:09:49. > :09:54.It is far from clear how that is going to be managed, whether or not,
:09:55. > :10:01.for example, there might be penalties reward for GPs if they did
:10:02. > :10:05.particularly well. This is a contract that overall is giving GPs
:10:06. > :10:10.a lot of what they want. It is giving them the time for the people
:10:11. > :10:12.they say are the most ill, but also performance managing them less than
:10:13. > :10:18.they have been in the past. Thank you. The death toll from Typhoon
:10:19. > :10:25.Haiyan in the Philippines has risen. In the region around the city
:10:26. > :10:30.of Tacloban, the authorities have doubled the estimate from 2000 to
:10:31. > :10:34.4000. An RAF plane carrying supplies has left for the Philippines, where
:10:35. > :10:36.thousands of people are still without food, water or shelter.
:10:37. > :10:48.Let's cross to the Philippines. The number of dead has been revised
:10:49. > :10:54.upwards in this city as well. I have been speaking to the mayor. He says
:10:55. > :11:01.the number of confirmed dead is now just gone past 800, but he thought
:11:02. > :11:04.the number would rise steeply, because it is clear to anybody who
:11:05. > :11:09.spends time in this city that there are hundreds, maybe thousands, dead,
:11:10. > :11:16.trapped under the rubble in this devastated area. Nonetheless,
:11:17. > :11:21.Tacloban did seem to return to a semblance of normality today. Aid
:11:22. > :11:26.has been coming in. The roads have been bulldozed. The market was
:11:27. > :11:31.opened. Fresh food was on sale. Nonetheless, the actual city itself
:11:32. > :11:36.is devastated, and the real problem for the people here will be shelter.
:11:37. > :11:38.The best way to see how much this city has been destroyed is from the
:11:39. > :11:51.air. We did that today. One week on since Typhoon Haiyan.
:11:52. > :11:58.The full extent of the devastation is still unclear. From the air, the
:11:59. > :12:04.city of Tacloban still lies in ruins. On the ground, people are
:12:05. > :12:10.living in the open, salvaging what they can, and among the ruins, they
:12:11. > :12:16.are still waiting for help. Here, maybe 1000 lined up in the hope of
:12:17. > :12:21.food aid. Among them, we met Abigail, widowed by the typhoon. She
:12:22. > :12:24.and her tour of letters have been surviving on biscuits. A very long
:12:25. > :12:33.line. A very long line. We will wait, because there is food. It is a
:12:34. > :12:37.scene of confusion and hopelessness. This is the front of the line, but
:12:38. > :12:41.there is no food distribution going on here. Some of the people have
:12:42. > :12:50.been waiting for hours in the blazing sun. A lot of them are kids
:12:51. > :12:54.with their families. Just feet away, two lorries laden with food but
:12:55. > :12:57.nobody coordinating distribution, so the people stay hungry. Each
:12:58. > :13:02.morning, relief groups share updates. The Filipino government has
:13:03. > :13:08.been criticised for a slow response, but the minister told me they are
:13:09. > :13:16.overwhelmed. I only have eight trucks delivering goods and
:13:17. > :13:22.foodstuffs to the communities. For the whole city? For the whole
:13:23. > :13:26.province. It is starting to happen. Now at least you can see Tacloban's
:13:27. > :13:28.main roads are clear, aid can start getting out, but any thought of
:13:29. > :13:40.rebuilding is still a long way off. Britain's contribution to the
:13:41. > :13:46.managerial effort has been stepped up. It was flown out of RAF Brize
:13:47. > :13:55.Norton in Oxfordshire today. A transport plane filled with medical
:13:56. > :14:01.supplies is due to land in the next 24 hours. The government has
:14:02. > :14:02.deployed an aircraft carrier which will replace the one in the region
:14:03. > :14:16.already. The United States has deployed 300
:14:17. > :14:22.military personnel to join them as well. One of the main problems is
:14:23. > :14:31.identifying the areas most at risk and need. We went on a surveillance
:14:32. > :14:36.mission with one of the helicopters. This air base has become a nerve
:14:37. > :14:40.centre for the US military's relief efforts in the Philippines. These
:14:41. > :14:45.aircraft arrived from Japan earlier this week. This is used to survey
:14:46. > :14:52.the damage on the ground and help coordinate relief operations. We
:14:53. > :14:58.were the first journalist on-board to see its work in the aftermath of
:14:59. > :15:05.the typhoon. We are going down to conduct humanitarian aid. What are
:15:06. > :15:10.we likely to see? It is pretty bad. Lots of houses are completely
:15:11. > :15:15.destroyed or pretty damaged. Pretty bad roads. Roads are getting better,
:15:16. > :15:19.but there is also a lot of rubbish. The plane is in the air for ten
:15:20. > :15:23.hours at a time, taking thousands of photographs and videos from a number
:15:24. > :15:34.of different locations across the worst affected areas. This is
:15:35. > :15:38.crucial when it comes to the humanitarian relief effort. The
:15:39. > :15:43.cameras are recording the devastation below in a way that you
:15:44. > :15:46.could not see down on the ground. It is able to work out the best places
:15:47. > :15:50.for helicopters and other aircraft to land and emotive areas to ensure
:15:51. > :15:55.that those who need help most can get it fast. It is from a pie that
:15:56. > :16:02.you really get the sense of what the typhoon has left behind. Underneath
:16:03. > :16:07.the clear blue sky villages which look like they have been trampled
:16:08. > :16:14.on. Trees which once did tall Lion nearside like matchsticks. Picked up
:16:15. > :16:20.on the cameras, a one word message from the ground, help. As soon as we
:16:21. > :16:27.see that, we can send the coordinates of that area. When you
:16:28. > :16:33.first see someone holding a sign up, what do you think? It is emotional.
:16:34. > :16:39.It makes you feel bad. A few moments later, the cameras pick up another
:16:40. > :16:50.striking image. Rows and rows of cottons and freshly dug mass graves.
:16:51. > :17:02.It is too late this -- to help some people. The other big problem here
:17:03. > :17:08.is the weather. Soaring temperatures in the high 30s and humidity during
:17:09. > :17:10.the day and also a lot of rainfall. There has been another torrential
:17:11. > :17:18.downpour in the last few minutes. It means another mob -- miserable night
:17:19. > :17:21.for the people here without shelter. Princess Anne has said the welfare
:17:22. > :17:28.of horses could be improved by selling horses for meat. In a speech
:17:29. > :17:31.to the charity World Horse Welfare she said that owners would probably
:17:32. > :17:34.take better care of their animals if they were selling them on for human
:17:35. > :17:43.consumption. Duncan Kennedy is at Chobham in Surrey.
:17:44. > :17:49.These animals are both about five months old. I think you will agree
:17:50. > :17:54.that they are both very cute. But here is a question, we put lead
:17:55. > :18:00.them? Many people will find that idea appalling especially after last
:18:01. > :18:03.winter's horse meat scandal. Other people are saying, perhaps that is
:18:04. > :18:09.time for a change on attitude on this, including those in royal
:18:10. > :18:16.circles. Friend food? Should horses be treated like cows and pigs and be
:18:17. > :18:23.put on the menus of restaurants and homes. For some, it is an appalling
:18:24. > :18:28.thought. The debate has been rekindled by the Princess Royal,
:18:29. > :18:33.herself a devoted horse women. Speaking to force welfare conference
:18:34. > :18:39.in London, she suggested we may need to change attitudes. -- horses
:18:40. > :18:43.welfare. Should we be considering a real market for horse meat and with
:18:44. > :18:47.that reduce the number of welfare cases if there was real value in the
:18:48. > :18:54.horse meat sector? I think we need the debate. Last winter's scandal
:18:55. > :18:58.involving horse meat in supermarkets, schools and hospitals,
:18:59. > :19:04.trampled over the idea of eating the animals. When samples of horse meat
:19:05. > :19:10.were found in unmarked packets of lasagne, beefburgers and spaghetti
:19:11. > :19:15.Bolognese, sales dropped. No animal welfare groups say that the Princess
:19:16. > :19:20.Royal may be right, as long as it is done humanely. We are not against
:19:21. > :19:25.the principle of eating horses. But it has to be done with good
:19:26. > :19:31.principles, the horse has to be cared for and transported properly.
:19:32. > :19:35.Horse meat is a favourite in France, but here, not all consumers are
:19:36. > :19:44.convinced. I look at them as friends, not food. It is not
:19:45. > :19:48.necessary. Where does it stop? I understand the apprehension some
:19:49. > :19:54.people might have, but as long as it is ethically sourced, it is not a
:19:55. > :20:00.problem. When you think is yet, you probably think companion, not
:20:01. > :20:03.kitchen, but are times changing? They are being led at a canter by
:20:04. > :20:08.royals and others who say that consumption may help with their
:20:09. > :20:12.protection. At the height of the scandal, something like 900,000
:20:13. > :20:14.families stopped buying frozen beefburgers because they were so
:20:15. > :20:19.appalled that there was potentially horse meat inside them. The Princess
:20:20. > :20:22.Royal is saying that at least we should have a debate about this,
:20:23. > :20:28.especially if the labelling on food packaging is clear. This is going to
:20:29. > :20:30.divide opinion everywhere in our animal loving country.
:20:31. > :20:39.Thank you very much. Our top story this lunchtime: The

:21:21. > :21:24.The Pope wants to hear the views of his flock, but he may not be pleased
:21:25. > :21:27.with what they have to say. The world's one billion Catholics are
:21:28. > :21:29.being asked about their opinions on ethical issues which divide the
:21:30. > :21:33.Church in the 21st century, like homosexuality, divorce and
:21:34. > :21:36.contraception. It's the first time the Catholic Church has ever done
:21:37. > :21:38.anything like this and it's backed strongly by the Archbishop of
:21:39. > :21:40.Westminster. But whatever the survey shows, will it actually change
:21:41. > :21:48.anything? Here's our religious affairs correspondent, Robert
:21:49. > :21:53.Pigott. High maths at Westminster Cathedral
:21:54. > :21:57.last night, a celebration for Roman Catholics of their belief in
:21:58. > :22:00.unchanging truths about God. But in their private lives, even believers
:22:01. > :22:07.resist significant parts of the church's teaching. No Pope Francis
:22:08. > :22:09.himself is asking the world's Catholics for their opinions on
:22:10. > :22:15.controversial and sensitive subjects, such as contraception,
:22:16. > :22:20.divorce, sex outside marriage and homosexuality. Catholic airships
:22:21. > :22:26.discussed the survey in England this week. They say that they will not be
:22:27. > :22:30.changes in the core beliefs of Catholicism, but greater
:22:31. > :22:34.understanding for people struggling with increasingly difficult moral
:22:35. > :22:37.dilemmas. We are seeking to pay attention to the experience of
:22:38. > :22:42.people who own the one hand want to live the Christian life, want to
:22:43. > :22:45.follow Christ, and on the other hand, they face all the ambiguities
:22:46. > :22:52.and difficulties of practical living. What lies in between those
:22:53. > :22:57.two is in a word, the notion of God's mercy. Pope Francis has
:22:58. > :23:00.repeatedly called for a church more concerned with love and mercy than
:23:01. > :23:05.with what he has called small-minded rules. There is a widening gap
:23:06. > :23:10.between the model of Catholicism presented in the church and what
:23:11. > :23:13.Catholics actually believe. Catholics are increasingly ready to
:23:14. > :23:19.trust their own reason and judgement on moral issues, rather than being
:23:20. > :23:22.the official line. There is a massive gap between the official
:23:23. > :23:26.teaching of the church in these areas and what an awful lot of
:23:27. > :23:32.Catholics think and do. That is very dangerous. However, there are many
:23:33. > :23:37.Catholics who would oppose any watering down of what the church
:23:38. > :23:43.stands for. What we have been taught is that it is a tradition and you
:23:44. > :23:47.cannot change it. We grew up with believes and we believe in them and
:23:48. > :23:55.trust them. I do not think it is up to individuals to make decisions.
:23:56. > :24:00.That is why we have the Pope. There is every sign that the views of

:24:45. > :24:49.Hundreds were killed and this was the turning point. UN inspectors had
:24:50. > :24:53.arrived in Syria just the day before, to investigate the places
:24:54. > :25:00.where previous chemical attacks had been alleged. No events moved
:25:01. > :25:04.swiftly. President Obama was threatening military strikes to
:25:05. > :25:09.punish the resume. Russia brokered the deal with President Assad. Under
:25:10. > :25:12.international monitoring, Syria would destroy all its stocks of
:25:13. > :25:17.chemical weapons and the facilities to produce them. Today's meeting is
:25:18. > :25:23.critical to keeping up the momentum of the operation. It is
:25:24. > :25:27.unprecedented in the midst of war. The chemical weapons of Syria are
:25:28. > :25:32.now said to be under seal, but massive challenges remain. There are
:25:33. > :25:38.likely to be some weapons that even the Syrians do not know where they
:25:39. > :25:45.are. It is a dynamic war zone. Syria is believed to possess around 100
:25:46. > :25:56.metric tonnes of chemical weapons. The stockpile consists of mustard
:25:57. > :26:04.gas, the nerve agent sat in, -- sarin and VX. There were
:26:05. > :26:10.environmental protests this week in Albania were did as a plan that
:26:11. > :26:17.could use to destroy the chemicals. Moving the weapons out of this --
:26:18. > :26:24.Syria will be a journey that is fraught with controversy and risk.

:26:30. > :26:33.added, though, both Spain and the UK needed to do more to make sure the
:26:34. > :26:35.crossing ran more smoothly. Let's speak to our Europe correspondent,
:26:36. > :26:37.Matthew Price, who's in Brussels. Is this a rap on the knuckles or
:26:38. > :26:40.something stronger? I do not think it is stronger. The
:26:41. > :26:43.commission is wary of getting involved in what is a political
:26:44. > :26:48.dispute between two countries who have a territorial dispute over
:26:49. > :26:52.ownership of Gibraltar. You will remember the queues in the summer,
:26:53. > :26:56.across the border tween Spain and the British territory of Gibraltar.
:26:57. > :27:00.The commission has said today that Spain has not in breaking the rules,
:27:01. > :27:05.but the commission has said that Spain and Britain are not operating
:27:06. > :27:09.the border in the most efficient way possible. We have said to Spain that
:27:10. > :27:14.it needs to cut down on the large number of random checks it has,
:27:15. > :27:18.which presumably contribute to delays at the border in the opinion
:27:19. > :27:21.of the commission. They say they need to get more targeted about the
:27:22. > :27:26.sort of people and vehicles are checking. This is a conclusion that
:27:27. > :27:30.will not go down well in Gibraltar. We spoke to one person today who
:27:31. > :27:35.said that there were big queues of pedestrians last week. It will not
:27:36. > :27:41.go down well among Eurosceptics in the UK. They will see it as another
:27:42. > :27:44.moment where Brussels, they believe, is going against Britain and
:27:45. > :27:51.favouring Spain. The government says that this is a rap on the knuckles
:27:52. > :27:54.for Spain. Thank you. Well, it wasn't quite the outcome
:27:55. > :27:58.his fans had wanted. Sachin Tendulkar, in his last ever test
:27:59. > :28:01.match, failed to make a century by just 26 runs. And there's no
:28:02. > :28:08.guarantee he'll get another chance to bat. So if this is the end of his
:28:09. > :28:11.glittering career, can we say whether he really was the world's
:28:12. > :28:15.greatest ever batsman? Here's our sports correspondent, Andy Swiss.
:28:16. > :28:19.To a deafening roar, he emerged for perhaps his final innings. For
:28:20. > :28:24.thousands in the stadium and millions around India, just one
:28:25. > :28:32.overriding question, good Sachin Tendulkar sign off in style? The
:28:33. > :28:38.early signs were promising. He raced to 50 from a starting point of 38.
:28:39. > :28:43.Now his sights turn to 100. The tension was palpable for all it
:28:44. > :28:47.seemed apart from the man himself. A fairy tale century was within
:28:48. > :28:53.tantalising reach. But on 74, the unthinkable. There was a stunned
:28:54. > :28:58.silence, and then a standing ovation. Perhaps for the last time,
:28:59. > :29:05.India's sporting superstar left the grand stage. The end of the greatest
:29:06. > :29:10.that's never perhaps? Many will plump for this man, Australian's Don
:29:11. > :29:17.Bradman. His test average is miles ahead of the rest. Others may point
:29:18. > :29:24.to Brian Lara. His 400 is still the highest ever score in test matches
:29:25. > :29:32.to be. For entertainment value, Ian Botham may get the English vote. But
:29:33. > :29:39.for sheer weight of runs, Tendulkar is simply untouchable. The fondest

:29:47. > :29:51.Dry and bright will do it for many for a good part of the afternoon. I
:29:52. > :29:55.will concede straightaway that the satellite picture tells the tale. It
:29:56. > :30:00.is not like that everywhere by any means at all. Nice in the
:30:01. > :30:07.south-east, but as you drift north, is specially in the Western Isles,
:30:08. > :30:12.it has been a very windy morning. The winds gale force in places. On
:30:13. > :30:18.the East of Scotland, it is quite warm, 13 degrees in Easter Ross.
:30:19. > :30:26.There is something funniest -were split. In the West, it is bright
:30:27. > :30:31.with the hope of sunshine breaking through the veil. Through the
:30:32. > :30:36.evening and overnight, the cloud will fill in the halls across
:30:37. > :30:40.northern parts of the British Isles. Further south, the skies remain
:30:41. > :30:45.clear. There will be a hard frost for some across the south-east. Fogg
:30:46. > :30:50.is a concern in the West Country. It will linger for a time through
:30:51. > :30:55.Saturday morning. If you're off to sporting events are going shopping,

:31:08. > :31:11.fill-in elsewhere. Across the North West of Scotland, you have the
:31:12. > :31:14.unfortunate combination of wet and windy weather. In knowledge
:31:15. > :31:19.overnight, temperatures around eight degrees. On Sunday, the weather
:31:20. > :31:24.front will come through the heart of the country. Notice the numbers in

:31:39. > :31:43.cold air will sweep its way into the British Isles. There is no rush to
:31:44. > :31:47.this because we have got to get a couple of things out of the way
:31:48. > :31:51.first of all. The weekend's wet weather, and following behind, we
:31:52. > :31:58.have got to get rid of another weather front. You will notice the
:31:59. > :32:01.difference. It will be 10 degrees in London on Monday, but on Tuesday,
:32:02. > :32:07.the temperatures are well down into single figures. And it is snowing
