then this. You OK? I can't hear! I can't hear. Let's get out of here. | :00:28. | :00:33. | |
Please. The search and rescue operation continues. Officials say | :00:33. | :00:39. | |
hundreds of people could be injured. Just a major explosion. The windows | :00:39. | :00:46. | |
came in. The roof came in. The ceiling came in. I worked my way out | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
to get more help. Up to 15 people could be dead. We will have the | :00:49. | :00:58. | |

bust for Andy Murray. He is knocked News at Six. Up to 15 people are | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
thought to have been killed by a huge explosion at a fertiliser plant | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
in Texas last night. It flattened buildings in the town of West and | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
survivors have said the blast was like a tornado. Officials say | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
hundreds could be injured. A search and rescue operation was still under | :02:21. | :02:30. | |
way this morning. The first sign of fire, filmed on a | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
phone from what seemed to be a safe distance away. But this was a huge | :02:35. | :02:43. | |
explosion. You OK? Dad, I can't hear. Cover your ears.Let's get out | :02:43. | :02:50. | |
of here. Please. The blast was felt many miles away. Voluntary | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
firefighters were among the dead. Darkness complicated the rescue | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
operation as the extent of the damage became clear. Fires raged | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
across the town. Homes, buildings within a mile around the fertiliser | :03:04. | :03:10. | |
plant, were levelled by the blast. Dozens of homes and an apartment | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
block collapsed. There was a major explosion. The windows came in. The | :03:14. | :03:20. | |
roof came in. The ceiling came in. I worked my way out to get some more | :03:20. | :03:27. | |

pressure was pushing me back. were injured. The local sports | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
stadium was used to treat those who needed urgent help. A fleet of | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
emergency vehicles queued to pick up those caught in the blast and thet | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
them to the hospitals treating the injured. -- and get them to the | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
hospitals treating the injured. A nursing home was in the radius of | :03:52. | :03:58. | |
the blast. Some were trapped. rest home was gone. You had to | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
remove the sheet rock that was on top of them. The ceilings were down. | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
There was a water leak, so you were standing in water, wires were | :04:06. | :04:14. | |
hanging down. We evacuated the one wing. The plant was in West, a few | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
miles from Waco. The blast was felt up to 45 miles away. On the edge of | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
town, the plant was close to a school, homes and a care home. It is | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
thought that the company had 20 tonnes of ammonia stored on the | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
property. The extent of the damage in the area immediately around the | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
factory is shocking. The explosion tore through homes. The authorities | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
have been going door-to-door looking for survivors. I can tell you there | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
is nothing out of control there at this point. There is no fire out of | :04:46. | :04:52. | |
control. There is no chemical escape from the fertiliser plant that is | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
out of control. They are working to contain everything that they have in | :04:56. | :05:03. | |
that area and are doing a fantastic job in very harsh circumstances, in | :05:03. | :05:09. | |
a very rough terrain. This is what's left of the fertiliser factory. What | :05:09. | :05:16. | |
is smouldering behind us here first caught firs and then exploded -- | :05:16. | :05:22. | |
first and then exploded. Investigators are combing through | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
what is left of the factory, trying to establish what caused the fire | :05:26. | :05:35. | |
and then the explosion which had such a devastating impact. | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
Staying in America, President Obama businessman has attended a memorial | :05:39. | :05:46. | |
service for the victims of -- President Barack Obama has attended | :05:46. | :05:55. | |
a memorial service for the victims of the Boston bombings. Let's join | :05:55. | :06:02. | |
Ian Pannell now in Boston. Thank you very much. As you say, | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
there have been developments. This morning, the FBI said there are two | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
people that they would like to talk to. They are not being regarded as | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
suspects, but they are people that they would like to trace. In the | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
last few minutes, President Obama gave a rousing speech in the church | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
behind me. He paid tribute to those who died, those who were injured and | :06:23. | :06:29. | |
those who had rushed in to try and help. He reflected that sense of | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
bewilderment here in Boston that what happened on Monday doesn't make | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
any sense. It's been a week Boston will never | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
forget. From early morning, crowds gathered at the Cathedral of the | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
Holy Cross. Waiting to see their President. Wanting to remember the | :06:45. | :06:51. | |
dead and wounded. And share thoughts of what happened that day. It's | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
terrifying. It is terribly sad. I know someone who was hurt and is in | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
a critical condition. It is terrifying. It hits close to home. I | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
feel, like, it is in our own backyard this time and Boston has | :07:05. | :07:11. | |
not experienced anything like this before. The President came here to | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
honour the victims and kfRlt those whose lives will never be the same. | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
-- comfort those whose lives will never be the same. Once again having | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
to speak for the nation in a time of mourning. Your resolve is the | :07:25. | :07:32. | |
greatest rebuke to whoever committed this heinous act. If they sought to | :07:32. | :07:40. | |
intimidate us, to terrorise us, to shake us from those values, the | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
values that make us who we are as Americans, well it should be pretty | :07:44. | :07:52. | |
clear by now that they picked the wrong city to do it. Investigators | :07:52. | :08:01. | |
say they have a strong lead, a potential suspect. They have CCTV | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
footage of a man dropping a bag off at the scene of one of the | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
explosions. And they are analysing this - a photo that shows a bag next | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
to a postbox near the finish line. This is the same scene seconds | :08:15. | :08:21. | |
later. It is one of thousands of leads the FBI must now sift through. | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
Today is an opportunity for the people of Boston to come together to | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
pray and to reflect. It is a moment to remember those who lost their | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
lives and the many who suffered terrible injuries. It is also a | :08:32. | :08:39. | |
chance to thank those who selflessly rushed to the scene. Like this | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
woman, a paediatrician and marathon runner, who dashed in to treat the | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
wounded at the finish line, a real hero whose emotions today are of | :08:48. | :08:57. | |
guilt. In some way, these people died because of me. I mean, they | :08:57. | :09:03. | |
were there cheering for me at the finish line. They were there to get | :09:03. | :09:09. | |
me through. They lost their lives and they lost their limbs. I have | :09:09. | :09:15. | |
such sorrow. Was it my fault? Was it because of me? Had they not been | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
there, they would have been alive. In a country where people often feel | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
immune to the dangers of the outside world, the bombings have left many | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
feeling less sure, less safe as they struggle to make sense of the attack | :09:27. | :09:37. | |
on the marathon. A man has been convicted of raping | :09:37. | :09:43. | |
an 11-year-old girl as she made her way home from school. The Old Bailey | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
heard that 18-year-old Opemipo Jaji subjected the girl to a three-hour | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
ordeal. The jury was told that he had a previous conviction but he was | :09:50. | :09:57. | |
not put on the sex Sex Offenders Register. | :09:57. | :10:02. | |
18-year-old Opemipo Jaji, seen here, is a brutal sex offender. When he | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
raped a little girl, he was already known to the authorities. It was the | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
second time he had carried out such an attack. Today, a jury at the Old | :10:10. | :10:16. | |
Bailey took less than four hours to convict him. He posed great danger | :10:17. | :10:22. | |
to young females. Despite the great weight of evidence against him, he | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
has never admitted his culpability. That forced the victim to give | :10:26. | :10:34. | |
evidence. Like other teenagers, Opemipo Jaji posted this YouTube | :10:34. | :10:40. | |
footage of himself, but he was far from ordinary. He can be seen on the | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
left-hand side of the CCTV footage. It was recorded in November last | :10:44. | :10:50. | |
year, shortly before he spotted his victim on board this bus in Enfield. | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
He followed his young victim to this park as she made her way home after | :10:54. | :11:01. | |
school. He gagged her, threatened her with a knife and subjected her | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
to a three-hour ordeal after which she needed surgery to recover. This | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
wasn't the first time he had attacked in this way. In February | :11:09. | :11:14. | |
2011, he robbed and sexually assaulted a 12-year-old girl. As a | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
young offender, he was sentenced to less than a year's detention. It | :11:18. | :11:25. | |
meant that he was not put on the Sex Offenders Register. A year later, he | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
admitted downloading indecent images of children and was given a | :11:27. | :11:33. | |
supervision order. He was with his probation Officer 19 minutes before | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
his last attack. The prosecuting authorities welcomed the verdict but | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
were reluctant to comment on whether he had been adequately supervised. | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
dangerous sexual offender has been brought to justice. I would like to | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
thank the 11-year-old victim and her family for their strength and | :11:49. | :11:54. | |
courage in supporting this prosecution. Tonight, questions | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
remain over why Opemipo Jaji was free to attack for a second time. | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
The Ministry of Justice will review how he was monitored, why he was not | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
offered treatment and whether he should have been placed on the Sex | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
Offenders Register. He will be sentenced in June and could face | :12:09. | :12:16. | |
life imprisonment. Four men from Luton have been jailed | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
for between five and 16 years after pleading guilty to terrorism | :12:19. | :12:25. | |
offences. The men talked about using home-made bombs and guns and two of | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
them discussed blowing up a TA base in the town. Zahid Iqbal, Mohammed | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
Ahmed, Umar Arshad and Syed Hussain pleaded guilty in March. | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
Doctors are warning that more than a million schoolchildren in England | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
could be vulnerable to measles because their parents failed to | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
complete their vaccinations during the MMR scare a decade ago. They | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
warned a generation of children are now in secondary school where there | :12:49. | :12:54. | |
is a greater risk of the disease spreading. | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
A paralysed man who wants doctors to end his life without fear of | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
prosecution has spoken publicly for the first time about his legal | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
campaign. Paul Lamb says he's in terrible pain and his life is | :13:06. | :13:16. | |
:13:16. | :13:16. | ||
intolerable, but he is unable to end it without medical assistance. | :13:16. | :13:21. | |
Paul Lamb has been paralysed from the neck down and suffering chronic | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
pain for 23 years. He needs full-time help for almost | :13:25. | :13:30. | |
everything, having just minimal use of one hand. He describes his life | :13:30. | :13:37. | |
as "tedious" and "pointless". pain is horrendous. I just - I'm | :13:37. | :13:44. | |
getting less. I stay in this room. I stay in here all winter. I have no | :13:44. | :13:51. | |
desire to go out most of the times. I just - my will has gone. This was | :13:51. | :13:57. | |
a fit and active Paul Lamb before a car crash in 1990. Now, unable to | :13:57. | :14:03. | |
end his own life, he wants a doctor to kill him. In law, that amounts to | :14:03. | :14:10. | |
murder. He's taking up the legal battle fought by locked yin sufferer | :14:10. | :14:15. | |
Tony Nicklinson. It is such a shame he had to die the way he died. | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
passed away last year, days after the High Court rejected his bid to | :14:19. | :14:26. | |
change the law. He wanted doctors to be protected from prosecution, where | :14:26. | :14:31. | |
patients were in intolerable situations and wanted to die. When | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
Tony Nicklinson's case came to the High Court last summer, the judges | :14:34. | :14:40. | |
said that it raised some of the most profound, ethical, moral, social and | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
religious issues, but only Parliament and not the courts could | :14:44. | :14:51. | |
change the law. Any change to the law will be strongly opposed. | :14:51. | :14:56. | |
vulnerable people will feel pressure, whether that is real or | :14:56. | :15:06. | |
:15:06. | :15:08. | ||
imagined to end their lives. Some campaigners for the disabl d want a | :15:08. | :15:16. | |
different focus. --Disabled want a different focus. It should be about | :15:16. | :15:20. | |
re-evaluating why people want to die and what can we do to improve the | :15:20. | :15:24. | |
quality of lives of individuals such as Paul Lamb so he was a change of | :15:24. | :15:29. | |
mind? Paul Lamb will take his case to the Court of Appeal next month. | :15:29. | :15:39. | |
:15:39. | :15:42. | ||
Persuading it to change the law operation continues after a massive | :15:42. | :15:47. | |
explosion at a chemical plant in Texas. Officials say hundreds of | :15:47. | :15:56. | |
people can be injured. Still to come: The first woman to conduct | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
The Last Night Of The Proms. Later on the BBC News Channel, I will be | :16:00. | :16:04. | |

prepares to race again in the Great Britain's most successful | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
Olympian, Sir Chris Hoy, has announced his retirement from | :16:25. | :16:30. | |
competitive track cycling at the age of 37. He has won six Olympic | :16:30. | :16:35. | |
Gold medals and 11 world titles, but say it's "beyond him" to carry | :16:35. | :16:41. | |
on to next year's Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. He is British | :16:41. | :16:47. | |
sport's own Mr Incredible. For the last decade, Sir Chris Hoy has | :16:47. | :16:51. | |
dominated Olympic track cycling. The home of Scottish rugby was an | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
unlikely setting, today he called time on a career which was supposed | :16:55. | :17:01. | |
to end in more glry at next summer's Commonwealth Games in gas | :17:01. | :17:07. | |
glow gsh glory. I have had time to reflect on the last 20 years of my | :17:07. | :17:11. | |
career. I have got everything out. I don't have any more to give. I | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
wouldn't be going there to be competitive. I would be turning up | :17:14. | :17:18. | |
to get the tracksuit and wave to the crowd. That is not what I | :17:18. | :17:28. | |
:17:28. | :17:28. | ||
wanted to do. Hoy first tasted Olympic success in Athens in 2004, | :17:28. | :17:35. | |
the starting point for a revolution in British cycling. In London he | :17:35. | :17:41. | |
guided Team GB to another goldrush on the track. What sort of shape is | :17:41. | :17:45. | |
British cycling in, as you leave the sport? British cycling has | :17:45. | :17:50. | |
never been in better health than it is just now. You know, you look | :17:50. | :17:54. | |
back over the years and see where it has come from, it's almost | :17:54. | :17:57. | |
unbelievable how far it has come as a sport. To have been part of that | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
journey, I'm proud of that. That is one of the biggest things I take | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
from my career, I have been part of this amazing transformation in the | :18:05. | :18:10. | |
sport. After more than a decade at the top of cycling he boy bows out | :18:10. | :18:16. | |
as one of the giants of British sporting history with six Olympic | :18:16. | :18:20. | |
gold medals is the most successful Olympian this country has produced | :18:20. | :18:26. | |
and is arguably the greatest. That debate may never be settled. There | :18:27. | :18:33. | |
was support from one of British cycling's original trailblazers. | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
have great talent coming up. It's the time to celebrate what he has | :18:37. | :18:43. | |
done, what has gone before. It was an amazing career. He is the most | :18:43. | :18:49. | |
iconic best representative of British sport - EVER! He says | :18:49. | :18:56. | |
it's's time to hand over to a new generation. Few are likely to tower | :18:56. | :19:04. | |
over his sport as he did. There's been another downbeat assessment of | :19:04. | :19:06. | |
the British economy from the International Monetary Fund. It's | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
head, Christine Lagarde, said growth figures in the UK "weren't | :19:10. | :19:14. | |
looking good". Her comments follow those of the orgs's chief economist | :19:14. | :19:17. | |
who said on Tuesday that the Government was "playing with fire" | :19:17. | :19:24. | |
by squeezing budgets in a flat economy. It's a big debate right | :19:24. | :19:32. | |
now, how to get the economy going. The Chancellor says bringing down | :19:32. | :19:36. | |
borrow something essential for the economy to thrive. This week the | :19:36. | :19:38. | |
International Monetary Fund's top economist suggested the UK needed | :19:38. | :19:46. | |
to ease up on austerity and focus more on boosting growth. Today, his | :19:46. | :19:51. | |
boss, the IMF chief said they aren't reached a final view, that | :19:51. | :19:57. | |
would come in the next month or so. The growth numbers are certainly | :19:57. | :20:03. | |
not particularly good. So, in a sense, this is a continuum of the | :20:03. | :20:08. | |
position, what has changed is, clearly, the quality of the numbers. | :20:08. | :20:13. | |
The Business Secretary, Vince Cable, at a growth conference today, last | :20:13. | :20:17. | |
month backed the idea of more investment to back the economy. He | :20:17. | :20:22. | |
had this reaction. They argued for more flexibility. We have been | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
flexible, we will be flexible, that is a common sense approach to the | :20:26. | :20:30. | |
problem. We work -- the Government does it bit much we have a major | :20:30. | :20:34. | |
deficit problem and we have to continue to deal with it. The Bank | :20:34. | :20:37. | |
of England is another key partner in keeping a stimulus going. Labour | :20:37. | :20:42. | |
said the questions raised by the IMF proved the Government should | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
change course. What more does George Osborne need to hear when | :20:46. | :20:50. | |
even the IMF are saying that they are anxious about economic growth. | :20:50. | :20:55. | |
He has to start stimulating the economy and his extreme austerity, | :20:55. | :21:00. | |
the path of cuts and tax rises are actually choking off the recovery | :21:00. | :21:05. | |
and the growth that we need to repair the public finances. At the | :21:05. | :21:10. | |
Treasury they are waiting for figures neck week showing how the | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
economy performed in the first three months of the year. Any | :21:13. | :21:19. | |
growth will come as a relief. Any contraction will mean the second | :21:19. | :21:22. | |
successive quarter of decline putting the UK technically back in | :21:22. | :21:27. | |
recession. Latest retail sales figures showed a downturn in March | :21:27. | :21:32. | |
because of the cold weather. Over three months there was growth. It | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
might be a positive side for the consumer side of the economy. The | :21:36. | :21:40. | |
Chancellor will keep his fingers crossed that the next growth | :21:40. | :21:47. | |
figures and the IMF check will be crucial tests of his policies. | :21:47. | :21:51. | |
Michael Gove has called for school children to have longer school days | :21:51. | :21:59. | |
and shorter school hoi days. He said that English students are at a | :21:59. | :22:09. | |
:22:09. | :22:09. | ||
"significant handicap" when compared with with students in east | :22:09. | :22:14. | |
Asia. Joining me now is Reeta Chakrabarti. Unless he is proposing | :22:14. | :22:17. | |
legislation to standardise the changes across schools in England | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
it would run into opposition from parents who might have some | :22:20. | :22:23. | |
children off at one time and other children off at another time. From | :22:23. | :22:28. | |
what I understand, I don't think Michael Gove is proposing something | :22:28. | :22:32. | |
as sweeping as that, she talking about reforms coming in about the | :22:32. | :22:39. | |
way teachers work and Heads can pay them more for extra duties that | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
could mean an extension to the school term. A few schools do this | :22:42. | :22:50. | |
already, but they are in a real minority. An American woman will | :22:50. | :22:55. | |
make history at the world's largest and longest running classical music | :22:55. | :22:59. | |
festival, the BBC Proms, this year. Marin Alsop will be the first woman | :22:59. | :23:07. | |
to conduct the famous Last Night of the Proms. The mass celebration of | :23:08. | :23:13. | |
classical music that is The Last Night Of The Proms. This year, for | :23:13. | :23:22. | |
the first time in 11 years a woman will hold the baton and leading the | :23:22. | :23:26. | |
orchestra, Marin Alsop. I'm proud to be the first woman to conduct, | :23:26. | :23:35. | |
but I'm also sad that it's 2013 and there can be first for women -- 118. | :23:35. | :23:38. | |
We have to create more opportunities for women to be seen | :23:38. | :23:48. | |
:23:48. | :23:57. | ||
It is here at the Royal Albert Hall where Marin Alsop will take to the | :23:57. | :24:00. | |
stage for The Last Night Of The Proms when she will be an exception | :24:00. | :24:03. | |
that proves the rule. When it comes to professional conducting, it is a | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
man's world. Almost all the great orchestras, both here and abroad, | :24:07. | :24:17. | |
:24:17. | :24:22. | ||
For a whole number of reasons I suspect why composers and | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
conductors who are women have been slow to cut through. You can only | :24:26. | :24:31. | |
work with what you have. What is encouraging now is that will are so | :24:31. | :24:41. | |
:24:41. | :24:46. | ||
many women composers and conductors beginning to come through. In the | :24:46. | :24:52. | |
institutions we don't have many women who are teachers, professors | :24:52. | :24:59. | |
and so on. If that changed, if the balance changed a little bit it may | :25:00. | :25:07. | |
help to inspire women composers. Highlights of the 2013 season | :25:07. | :25:13. | |
include the return of Nigel Kennedy, a Proms premier of Wagner's Ring | :25:13. | :25:23. | |

Cycle and Marin Alsop first Last Night. It's time for the weather | :25:26. | :25:32. | |
Night. It's time for the weather now with Helen Willetts. We have | :25:32. | :25:36. | |
had thunderstorms, heal and the showers will ease this evening. The | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
heavy rain across Scotland, that is heading southwards. It will give | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
wet conditions through the night for parts of England and Wales. | :25:44. | :25:51. | |
Behind it, it turns colder, north- westerly wind setting in. We could | :25:51. | :25:55. | |
have a widespread ground frost tonight, not a problem in the south. | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
It will be a grey and damp start tomorrow morning. The April | :25:58. | :26:05. | |
sunshine is getting stronger, it will work its way through the cloud. | :26:05. | :26:08. | |
There will be showers in the afternoon. It will be a nicer day | :26:08. | :26:12. | |
in Scotland. Showers still for Northern Ireland, promising than | :26:12. | :26:15. | |
today. It will feel warmer, more sunshine coming through. | :26:15. | :26:19. | |
Temperatures into the low teens. The western side of England and | :26:19. | :26:24. | |
Wales decent weather, a few showers to the west country. Most of the | :26:25. | :26:29. | |
day's showers, by the afternoon, will be in central and eastern | :26:29. | :26:34. | |
areas. Quite cool here, the odd sharp one around, not as heavy as | :26:35. | :26:40. | |
today. They will fade quickly. Tomorrow night colder still. Ground | :26:40. | :26:44. | |
frost right across the country, mist and fog. It will set us up for | :26:44. | :26:49. | |
a nice day on Saturday. The weekend for all of us will start dry. | :26:49. | :26:55. | |
Strong April sunshine to help us by day. Even by the end of play on | :26:55. | :26:58. | |
Saturday the next weather system is knocking on the door of the | :26:58. | :27:03. | |
highland and western and northern isles of Scotland. On Sunday the | :27:03. | :27:09. | |
rain will work southwards. At the moment, it looks for the marathon | :27:10. | :27:14. |
