David Cameron says it is his firm belief that the UK should | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
launch airstrikes against Islamic State militants in Syria. | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
The Prime Minister - in Paris today - paid his respects at the concert | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
hall where scores of people were killed and announced increased | :00:16. | :00:17. | |
I firmly support the action that Francois Hollande has taken to | :00:18. | :00:30. | |
strike Isil in Syria and it is my firm conviction that Britain should | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
do so too. Belgian police arrest 21 people | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
after a series of raids - the capital Brussels remains | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
in lockdown. We'll bring you the latest | :00:39. | :00:39. | |
from Paris and Brussels. Four men go on trial over the | :00:40. | :00:41. | |
Hatton Garden jewellery heist - described in court as the "largest | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
burglary in English legal history". The government introduces a cap | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
on what hospitals can pay agency And a further ?12 billion | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
on equipment, as David Cameron prepares to announce his plans | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
for defence spending. In the sport: Britain's Davis Cup | :00:57. | :01:12. | |

after fears of a terrorist attack in Brussels. | :01:17. | :01:34. | |
Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at One. | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
David Cameron has said he's convinced that Britain should join | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
airstrikes against Islamic State militants in Syria following | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
He was speaking in the French capital, where he visited | :01:44. | :01:50. | |
the Bataclan concert hall with President Hollande. | :01:51. | :01:52. | |
At least 89 people were killed there. | :01:53. | :01:54. | |
The Prime Minister's hoping to build a case to persuade MPs | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
in Westminster to vote in favour of military action. | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
He agreed today to step up co-operation with France | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
on countering terror, including increased sharing of data. | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
Our Paris Correspondent Hugh Schofield reports. | :02:07. | :02:14. | |
David Cameron came to France to pledge the UK's sympathy | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
He is the first foreign leader to be welcomed in Paris after the attacks. | :02:18. | :02:26. | |
They visited the Bataclan Theatre where 89 people were | :02:27. | :02:28. | |
Is absolutely right to take decisive action to stop terrorists | :02:29. | :02:36. | |
when they are threatening the lives of innocent citizens. | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
We will do everything we can to support France to defeat | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
Evidence of that support came with the offer of the use of a bris base | :02:45. | :03:03. | |
in Cyprus to attack targets in Syria. With the arrival of a French | :03:04. | :03:12. | |
aircraft in the Mediterranean, France's power in the area has | :03:13. | :03:14. | |
tripled. We will intensify our strike | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
and choose targets that inflict the maximum possible damage | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
on this terrorist army and our aircraft carrier which is soon to | :03:23. | :03:24. | |
arrive in the area has been clearly For David Cameron, | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
co-ordination with President will help bolster his argument | :03:28. | :03:34. | |
for British air strikes in Syria. I firmly support this action, | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
to strike Isil in Syria and it is my firm conviction Britain | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
should do so as well. David Cameron there should also be | :03:44. | :03:56. | |
stronger borders in Europe. It is essential for | :03:57. | :04:04. | |
President Hollande to capitalise on the fury and solidarity created | :04:05. | :04:06. | |
by the Paris attacks. The iron is hot and out of it he | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
wants to forge a new, single coalition, dedicated to the complete | :04:10. | :04:18. | |
of so-called Islamic State. This is just the start of a frenetic | :04:19. | :04:20. | |
week of diplomacy for the President. He sees Barack Obama tomorrow | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
and then Angela Merkel before going Well our security correspondent | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
Frank Gardner is here. What difference will this increased | :04:27. | :04:38. | |
security cooperation between Britain I'm not sure it will make a great | :04:39. | :04:49. | |
deal of difference in intelligence sharing, because they have already a | :04:50. | :04:57. | |
close sharing arrangement. Not as close as with America, Canada, New | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
Zealand and the United States. But they have people in Paris in the | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
French intelligence service and they share a great deal. That is not | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
really where the problem lies. The problem lies in con-- continental | :05:10. | :05:16. | |
Europe and there in places like Belgium, the police, the people on | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
the streets who are able to pick up local intelligence don't necessarily | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
have much of a dialogue with the intelligence agencies and countries | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
within Europe are not sharing information with each other. You | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
have this absurd situation where Bavarian police before the Paris | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
attacks stopped a man in a car where a car full of Kalashnikovs and a | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
sat-nav setting set for Paris and didn't think to tell the French | :05:46. | :05:47. | |
about this. They went home or whatever they did. But they didn't | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
share it. There is other information that has, that could have been | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
shared about the movement of 1789ed Jihadists -- suspected Jihadists | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
which was not. The structures are there, but they're not being | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
properly used. Thank you. Let's speak to our | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
Assistant Political Editor Norman David Cameron unequivocal | :06:10. | :06:11. | |
on airstrikes - is he becoming more confident that | :06:12. | :06:13. | |
he'll win a Commons vote? The short answer is yes. Downing | :06:14. | :06:24. | |
Street are confident that political opinion is moving their way on air | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
strikes. In part, because of nature of the atrocities in Paris, in part | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
because there is now a UN resolution. In part because Russia | :06:33. | :06:40. | |
is engaged and there is a tentative diplomatic plan with the vie enthat | :06:41. | :06:47. | |
peace -- Vienna peace process and some Tories who voted against air | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
strikes against Assad last time may change. And although Jeremy Corbyn | :06:53. | :07:01. | |
is against air strikes, it seems unlikely he can take his party with | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
him without risking a split, so I think he will offer Labour MPs a | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
free vote and many will back David Cameron. Events are going to move | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
quickly. David Cameron will set out his plan, his strategy, probably on | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
Thursday, Downing Street say they will then leave his ideas to "per | :07:21. | :07:31. | |
Coe late" for a few days and I think they will go for it next week and if | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
they win it, then UK involvement in air strikes could follow soon after. | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
Thank you. 21 people have been arrested in an | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
anti-terror operation in Belgium. 22 properties were raided - | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
most of them in Brussels. But the chief suspect in the Paris | :07:47. | :07:48. | |
attacks is still at large. The city remains in lockdown - | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
schools, universities and the Metro remain | :07:52. | :07:53. | |
shut, over fears a Paris-style Our Europe correspondent | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
Chris Morris is in Brussels. Yes, anner moured personnel carrier | :07:58. | :08:12. | |
guarding the city's central railation station, an indication | :08:13. | :08:19. | |
that these are not normal times. The streets are emptier than normal and | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
things are a bit jittery. There have been further police raids this | :08:24. | :08:32. | |
morning. Five in Brussels and two in Liege. Still the hunt go on. | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
For the third day a city on highest security alert. | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
Troops on the streets and the Government warning of multiple | :08:41. | :08:42. | |
It is a fire, he says, possibly a falls alarm. | :08:43. | :08:58. | |
Unsettling times for locals and tourists alike. | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
It's not overly scary for me at least. | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
I didn't want to come here, but Brian wanted to. | :09:05. | :09:11. | |
Just the security, but we don't know how to say, feeling not good. | :09:12. | :09:23. | |
Last night 19 police raids in Brussels and 16 arrests. | :09:24. | :09:29. | |
But they didn't find the man they really want. | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
Salah Abdeslam, who took part in the Paris attacks and could be | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
The authorities are looking for others as well. | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
It was a big operation last night, but the job is not done | :09:42. | :09:47. | |
and will continue until the entire organisation is dismantled. | :09:48. | :09:53. | |
For now, schools and universities remain closed. | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
So too the the metro, museums and cinemas. | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
The city that houses the main EU institutions | :10:01. | :10:02. | |
and NATO headquarters has never never seen anything quite like it. | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
The Belgian authorities said they were acting on pretty precise | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
information about an imminent attack and until they can reassure people | :10:12. | :10:19. | |
that that has changed, Brussels is bound to remain on edge. | :10:20. | :10:22. | |
But for how long can you shut down many of the normal functions | :10:23. | :10:25. | |
Difficult questions and no easy answers. | :10:26. | :10:28. | |
And still the suspicion that Abdeslam could be hiding close by. | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
It is the kind of threat that not just Belgium, but the rest of Europe | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
This is the third day of Brussels being in lock down, are people | :10:37. | :10:48. | |
asking why is it going on for so long? They are. People think this | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
can't go on indefinitely and the city must get back to normal and | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
there will be questions about whether the police have acted | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
swiftly enough, whether the intelligence has been good enough. | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
They were arrested after the Paris attacks, including the two men who | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
allegedly drove Salah Abdeslam back here to Brussels. But the raids | :11:09. | :11:14. | |
which started last night, people are wondering why couldn't they have | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
happened two or three days ago? And part of the answer is the profile of | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
some of the attackers based in brus accepts that is start Brussels | :11:22. | :11:31. | |
starts to merge. They were not particularly religious, but they | :11:32. | :11:34. | |
were radicalised quickly and that made them difficult to spot. Once | :11:35. | :11:41. | |
this is over, there will be many searching questions about why these | :11:42. | :11:47. | |
networks of radicals were able to develop with apparent impunity in | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
places like Molenbeek and what the Belgium state and the different | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
competing levels of government, what the state is going to do to try and | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
prevent it happening again. Thank you. | :12:03. | :12:03. | |
And later in the programme we'll have an exclusive report from | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
inside the hotel in Mali, attacked by Islamist extremists on Friday, | :12:07. | :12:08. | |
Four men have gone on trial in connection with | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
the multi-million pound jewellery raid on the Hatton Garden safe | :12:14. | :12:16. | |
Valuables and gems, worth an estimated ?14 million were | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
stolen over the Easter weekend, in what has been described | :12:21. | :12:22. | |
in court as the "largest burglary in English legal history." | :12:23. | :12:25. | |
Our Home Affairs Correspondent, Daniel Sandford is at | :12:26. | :12:27. | |
Yes the jury were told that the Hatton Garden burglary took almost a | :12:28. | :12:42. | |
year to plan. Daniel Jones, one of those who pleaded guilty was using | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
the internet to research the kind of drill used to get into the safe | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
vault eleven months before the burglary. Thousands of items have | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
been recovered. Some people have even had some of their property | :12:57. | :13:02. | |
returned. But millions of pounds worth are still missing. It was said | :13:03. | :13:09. | |
the prosecution the largest burglary in English legal history. A raid on | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
the Hatton Garden safe deposit in London. An estimated ?14 million | :13:15. | :13:22. | |
worth of gold, platinum, jewellery, watches, precious stones and cash | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
were stolen from 44 boxes. At best only around a third of it has been | :13:27. | :13:33. | |
recovered. The gold and platinum bars and coins are already still | :13:34. | :13:41. | |
missing. The jury heard that four ring leaders have already pleaded | :13:42. | :13:49. | |
guilty. Including 76-year-old Brian Reider, known by the other men as | :13:50. | :14:00. | |
the Master. Carl Wood, John Harbinson and Bill Lincoln and Hugh | :14:01. | :14:09. | |
Doyle are on trial. The jury were told that on the first night the men | :14:10. | :14:12. | |
had failed to get into the actual vault. But they had returned with | :14:13. | :14:18. | |
more equipment to finish the job two days later. The prosecution said | :14:19. | :14:26. | |
there wasn't much CCTV footage, because the main recorders in the | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
building he removed during the burglary and the ring leaders has | :14:32. | :14:37. | |
been plotting the crime since January, months before the Easter | :14:38. | :14:43. | |
nights in a pub in London. The four nights in a pub in London. | :14:44. | :14:49. | |
men on trial today deny all of the men on trial today deny all of the | :14:50. | :14:50. | |
charges against them. Thank you. Hospitals in England are facing new | :14:51. | :14:53. | |
limits on what they can pay agency The Government says | :14:54. | :14:56. | |
the cap will save ?1 billion over Over the coming months temporary | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
staff will gradually see their pay come down, and hospitals will have | :15:01. | :15:03. | |
to start limiting what they spend. Our Health Correspondent Dominic | :15:04. | :15:06. | |
Hughes reports. A typically busy ward | :15:07. | :15:08. | |
in Grimsby's Diana Princess where not just recruiting, | :15:09. | :15:10. | |
but keeping staff is a challenge. The hospital has struggled to | :15:11. | :15:18. | |
attract new nurses and that left gaps | :15:19. | :15:20. | |
in rotas that had to be filled. We had 200 registered nurse | :15:21. | :15:25. | |
vacancies at the beginning That's been a particular stress for | :15:26. | :15:28. | |
us in terms of being able to assure ourselves that we maintain patient | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
safety by filling those gaps. Hospitals across England have seen | :15:33. | :15:35. | |
the amount they spend This hospital alone | :15:36. | :15:37. | |
in one year spent more than ?5 Now the Government is introducing | :15:38. | :15:44. | |
a cap on the amount hospitals can There will also be a cap | :15:45. | :15:52. | |
on what agencies can charge, so the maximum for a junior doctor | :15:53. | :15:56. | |
will be 150% above basic pay. For other clinical staff such | :15:57. | :16:01. | |
as nurses or consultants, the For other none clinical workers, | :16:02. | :16:04. | |
for example clerical staff, In Grimsby they have reduced | :16:05. | :16:10. | |
their spending through a big recruitment drive and by | :16:11. | :16:20. | |
offering experienced nurses like Di Hughes better paid overtime shifts | :16:21. | :16:21. | |
in priority areas, such as A They are getting somebody that knows | :16:22. | :16:28. | |
the team that, knows the area, the layout, | :16:29. | :16:31. | |
and is helping the local community as well, patients in my area that | :16:32. | :16:33. | |
need me to assist look after them. But agencies that provide nurses to | :16:34. | :16:39. | |
hospitals say they're fed up with being accused of ripping | :16:40. | :16:42. | |
off the health service and any cap If agencies like ours are if you | :16:43. | :16:45. | |
like demonised and made to feel that we are the probblem, we probably | :16:46. | :16:53. | |
won't want to trade with the NHS any longer and that's | :16:54. | :16:56. | |
a problem, because that then does leave the field open to | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
the exploitative agencies who will The Government said controls | :17:02. | :17:04. | |
on spending will help the NHS improve care and invest in front | :17:05. | :17:10. | |
line services, with some hospitals are likely to struggle to reduce | :17:11. | :17:13. | |
their reliance on agency staff. David Cameron - in Paris today - | :17:14. | :17:16. | |
paid his respects at the concert hall where scores of people were | :17:17. | :17:27. | |

rapid reaction brigades by 2025. Mr Cameron says the Government's | :21:04. | :21:06. | |
priority over the next five years is to deter threats from other states | :21:07. | :21:12. | |
and to tackle terrorism. Our Defence Correspondent Jonathan | :21:13. | :21:15. | |
Beale reports. This is one of the haunting images | :21:16. | :21:21. | |
from the last defence review. Nimrod maritime patrol aircraft | :21:22. | :21:23. | |
scrapped before they even flew. The brutal cuts five years ago have | :21:24. | :21:27. | |
left gaps in Britain's defences. This week, the UK has had to call | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
on the help of French and Canadian aircraft to help search | :21:32. | :21:34. | |
for a suspected Russian submarine Today's defence review will identify | :21:35. | :21:36. | |

out of their way to help the family, who were described as | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
"extremely challenging." Senior police officers are being | :23:33. | :23:39. | |
told to tackle reported grooming more effectively, | :23:40. | :23:41. | |
following the murder of a 14-year-old boy who was approached | :23:42. | :23:44. | |
online through a gaming website. An investigation into the death | :23:45. | :23:46. | |
of Breck Bednar found that a lack of training meant Surrey | :23:47. | :23:49. | |
police failed to act on concerns The Independent Police Complaints | :23:50. | :23:52. | |
Commission says that police forces must work together to handle | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
grooming reports. I have a 14-year-old son and I feel | :23:57. | :24:10. | |
like he is being groomed. An anxious mother's phone call to the police. | :24:11. | :24:17. | |
It has been ongoing for a while. I'm really concerned. But her concerns | :24:18. | :24:24. | |
were ignored. Her son Breck was chatting to 19-year-old Lewis Stains | :24:25. | :24:29. | |
on a gaming web-site. Two months after that call, Breck was lured to | :24:30. | :24:36. | |
a flat where he was murdered. Had I had a better tter call handler, they | :24:37. | :24:44. | |
would have recognised I was worried about grooming. I knew this person | :24:45. | :24:48. | |
was controlling the boys and hiding his face. I knew there was something | :24:49. | :24:54. | |
untoward and I was trying to explain that. If the person isn't properly | :24:55. | :25:00. | |
trained, it is difficult to pick up on the signs. The IPCC investigation | :25:01. | :25:06. | |
found the call handler failed to provide her with information on | :25:07. | :25:12. | |
specialist child protection agencies and failed to run the man's name | :25:13. | :25:17. | |
through the national police database, which would have flagged | :25:18. | :25:23. | |
him up. Surrey police says call handlers now follow a checklist when | :25:24. | :25:29. | |
dealing with concerns about grooming and that a case can't be closed | :25:30. | :25:33. | |
without further investigation. Today the IPCC commission irsaid all | :25:34. | :25:36. | |
forces need to work together to tackle online grooming. We have no | :25:37. | :25:42. | |
way of knowing if Laurent had made that call to another force if the | :25:43. | :25:47. | |
outcome may have been different. What we have asked police chiefs to | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
do is look at their policies again and make sure that they have got | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
everything right. Changes to guidelines are too late for Breck, | :25:58. | :26:02. | |
but they could save other young people exposed to this online | :26:03. | :26:04. | |
danger. Now, one of the problems with solar | :26:05. | :26:07. | |
power is that it's difficult to store the energy generated | :26:08. | :26:10. | |
by the sun during the day. Well now a solar power plant | :26:11. | :26:13. | |
on the edge of the Saharan desert As our environment correspondent, | :26:14. | :26:16. | |
Roger Harrabin, explains, In eastern Morocco, this ancient | :26:17. | :26:19. | |
city is about to be powered by a futuristic technology that | :26:20. | :26:29. | |
harnesses solar energy after It takes a drive through | :26:30. | :26:32. | |
barren lands to find it. The size is breathtaking, | :26:33. | :26:39. | |
stretching far towards the horizon. Renewable energy | :26:40. | :26:50. | |
on a heroic scale. Row upon row of curved mirrors, | :26:51. | :26:53. | |
capturing the power of the Saharan When this site is completed, | :26:54. | :26:56. | |
it will be the size of Morocco's capital city and give energy | :26:57. | :27:01. | |
to 1 million people. In daytime, the mirrors track | :27:02. | :27:05. | |
the sun through the sky. We have speeded them | :27:06. | :27:13. | |
up to demonstrate. It is called concentrated | :27:14. | :27:15. | |
solar power. Each mirror focuses the sun's rays | :27:16. | :27:20. | |
to heat the tube along the middle. Oil inside | :27:21. | :27:24. | |
the tube is warmed to 400 Celsius. The oil is transported here to make | :27:25. | :27:30. | |
steam to generate electricity. The vast empty wastes of the Sahara | :27:31. | :27:36. | |
stretch far behind the power plant. Who ever would have thought | :27:37. | :27:40. | |
a desert would come in so handy? But how does | :27:41. | :27:44. | |
the plant make power after sunset? Well, it uses the sun's energy to | :27:45. | :27:49. | |
melt salt in this huge cylinder. That holds the heat into the night | :27:50. | :27:54. | |
and generates power. This thing you see here is | :27:55. | :27:58. | |
a tank where we store salt. During the day, we heat this salt | :27:59. | :28:00. | |
in order to keep the heat that will We are able to store up to | :28:01. | :28:14. | |
three hours of energy. Storing power from renewables is | :28:15. | :28:19. | |
the Holy Grail of energy. Developing nations want help | :28:20. | :28:22. | |
from rich countries to get technology like this under | :28:23. | :28:24. | |
the climate talks in Paris. The desert solar power here | :28:25. | :28:30. | |
will be switched on soon. A future stage of the project is | :28:31. | :28:33. | |
designed to deliver solar energy all Time for the weather now. A bit | :28:34. | :28:55. | |
chillier here. Yes, the coldest weather O autumn. -- of the autumn. | :28:56. | :29:01. | |
the weather and this was sent by the weather and this was sent by | :29:02. | :29:05. | |
John in Aberdeenshire with snow on the hills. And these scenes from | :29:06. | :29:12. | |
Cumbria, snow covering the high ground here and in home Firth you | :29:13. | :29:23. | |
probably needed a fleece or two. In Derbyshire it was high enough for | :29:24. | :29:28. | |
this amount of snow. So the cold air came south from the Arctic. But it | :29:29. | :29:34. | |
won't hang around and it will get less cold in the next 24 hours as we | :29:35. | :29:41. | |
get these north-westerly winds. That process of mild air is moving in, | :29:42. | :29:47. | |
but it is still cold, just one degree in some areas in Wales. The | :29:48. | :29:52. | |
milder air is associated with a weather front and through this | :29:53. | :29:56. | |
afternoon that front will bring some wet weather as it pushes south. So | :29:57. | :30:00. | |
wet weather for Scotland, Northern Ireland and by the end of the | :30:01. | :30:05. | |
afternoon we will see some rain across the far north-west of England | :30:06. | :30:08. | |
and Wales. For most of England and Wales if you have the sunshine and | :30:09. | :30:12. | |
the bright skies, chances are it is cold. Temperatures for many around | :30:13. | :30:17. | |
four or five Celsius with little change through the afternoon. | :30:18. | :30:24. | |
Tonight a funny kind of night, starting off cold in the south-east. | :30:25. | :30:32. | |
But as the rain comes, the temperatures will rise and they will | :30:33. | :30:39. | |
be up to ten degrees in England. Colder still in Scotland and | :30:40. | :30:42. | |
Northern Ireland. For Tuesday, our band of rain clears from eastern | :30:43. | :30:47. | |
England and we will be left with a lot of cloud and some showers. But | :30:48. | :30:51. | |
for Northern Ireland and Scotland plenty of showers and it is still | :30:52. | :30:57. | |
cold enough in Scotland for some of the showers to fall as snow in the | :30:58. | :31:03. | |
mountains. But the best of the sunshine in north-east England and | :31:04. | :31:09. | |
Scotland. Feeling cooler. Thursday will cloud over and the winds will | :31:10. | :31:15. | |
pick up towards the end of week. And temperatures up to 12 degrees. That | :31:16. | :31:19. | |
clears out of the way and Friday night we could see snow on northern | :31:20. | :31:21. | |
hills. Thank you. Now a reminder | :31:22. | :31:25. | |
