:00:00. > :00:14.David Cameron makes his case for MPs to back British air strikes

:00:15. > :00:18.Allies like the French already bomb so-called IS - he says the terror

:00:19. > :00:28.We have to hit these terrorists in their heartlands now. We must not

:00:29. > :00:43.shirk our responsibility for security or hand it to others.

:00:44. > :00:45.But Labour's leader tells the party's MPs that he can't

:00:46. > :00:54.We'll be asking if air strikes could make Britain

:01:07. > :01:10.Net migration to Britain hits a new record - it jumps

:01:11. > :01:14.And on Reporting Scotland at 6.30pm: Austerity is not over -

:01:15. > :01:16.as councillor demonstrate, John Swinney, says the budget set

:01:17. > :01:19.by the Chancellor's spending review means he's facing tough choices.

:01:20. > :01:20.And, we look ahead to Celtic's crucial

:01:21. > :01:45.Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six.

:01:46. > :01:48.Britain can't afford to stand aside from the fight against Islamic State

:01:49. > :01:50.extremists, that's the message from the Prime Minister

:01:51. > :01:54.today as he called on MPs to back UK air strikes into Syria.

:01:55. > :02:14.David Cameron side that IS was a direct threat to Britain and the UK.

:02:15. > :02:19.Laura Kuenssberg is at Westminster for us with the latest.

:02:20. > :02:24.Two significant things happened in Westminster. The prime went to the

:02:25. > :02:29.House of Commons and made an argument for military action asking

:02:30. > :02:35.MPs to back his belief that strikes in Syria would be the right thing to

:02:36. > :02:38.do. But as we speak Labour MPs are receiving a letter from Jeremy

:02:39. > :02:45.Corbyn, saying he cannot back the strikes. He does not think that the

:02:46. > :02:50.party ought to. But many MPs have expressed a desire to do so and

:02:51. > :02:55.believe that the time may now be right. Tonight in Westminster, there

:02:56. > :03:03.are two political fights. The Russians are doing it.

:03:04. > :03:09.The French are doing it. And the Prime Minister believes that

:03:10. > :03:14.it is now our turn to do it too. Dropping bombs, not just over Iraq

:03:15. > :03:19.but on so-called Islamic State in Syria.

:03:20. > :03:25.Statement, the Prime Minister: Thank you, Mr Speaker. We can't wait for a

:03:26. > :03:29.political transition, we have to hit these terrorists in their heartlands

:03:30. > :03:33.right now. We must not shirk our responsibility for security or hand

:03:34. > :03:37.it to others. Mr Speaker, throughout our history, the United Kingdom has

:03:38. > :03:46.stood up to defend our values, and our way of life. We can and we must

:03:47. > :03:51.do so again. The shock of Paris has changed the

:03:52. > :03:55.terms of the debate. 130 people died, less than 300 miles from the

:03:56. > :03:59.UK capital. David Cameron believes air strikes

:04:00. > :04:02.thousands of miles away could stop attacks here.

:04:03. > :04:07.That bomb in Paris, that could have been London. If they had their way

:04:08. > :04:12.it would be London. I can't stand here and say we are safe from all of

:04:13. > :04:15.these threats. We are not. I cannot say we will remove the threat

:04:16. > :04:21.through the action that we take but do I stand here with advice behind

:04:22. > :04:26.me that taking action will degrade and reduce the threat over time?

:04:27. > :04:29.Absolutely. I have examined my conscious, that is what is telling

:04:30. > :04:32.me. But what went wrong in Iraq hung

:04:33. > :04:37.heavy here. In the light of the record of

:04:38. > :04:40.western military intervention in recent years including Iraq,

:04:41. > :04:46.Afghanistan and Libya, does the Prime Minister accept that UK

:04:47. > :04:52.bombing of Syria could risk more of what President Obama called:

:04:53. > :04:57.Unintended consequences? And that a lasting defeat of Isil can only be

:04:58. > :05:00.secured by Syrians and their forces within the region.

:05:01. > :05:05.There will not be British boots on the ground. So who are the reliable

:05:06. > :05:11.70,000 forces that the Government says could help. I ask him to look

:05:12. > :05:16.at his figure of 70,000 Free Syrian Army. We have been told directly

:05:17. > :05:20.through contact that there are few moderates remaining on either side

:05:21. > :05:24.of the Civil War. Today, the Prime Minister wants us to launch a

:05:25. > :05:28.bombing campaign without effective ground support in place or a fully

:05:29. > :05:32.costed reconstruction and stability plan.

:05:33. > :05:37.What a crazy war! Enemies to the right of us, enemies to the left of

:05:38. > :05:42.it, keep out! There are objections on all sides. Because of the risk of

:05:43. > :05:45.losing, the Government won't even bring a vote here to the Commons

:05:46. > :05:49.unless they can be sure of a comfortable win. That means that

:05:50. > :05:54.they need the support of maybe dozens of Labour MPs. Their leader

:05:55. > :05:59.is deeply reluctant. The rest of them are is split.

:06:00. > :06:04.Straight after the debate, Labour's top team gathered to try to agree

:06:05. > :06:09.whether to support air strikes in Syria, they could not. Hours later,

:06:10. > :06:13.the party's leader said he cannot sport the bombing, though sources

:06:14. > :06:17.suggest that more than half of his Shadow Cabinet are in favour and the

:06:18. > :06:20.Shadow Affect sounds like he is one of them.

:06:21. > :06:24.I think all agree on the threat to the United Kingdom and I think that

:06:25. > :06:27.we have a responsibility, it is the first duty of the Government and the

:06:28. > :06:31.opposition, to protect the British people.

:06:32. > :06:35.For good or ill, there is a growing sense of inevitability. Labour

:06:36. > :06:39.voices giving public support. What does it say about our judgment

:06:40. > :06:44.if we fail to take heed from the appeal of the United Nations?

:06:45. > :06:48.Previous Tory Conservative Party ticks are now in favour.

:06:49. > :06:51.On balance the country is best served by the House supporting his

:06:52. > :06:56.judgment that the United Kingdom should play... A full role in the

:06:57. > :07:00.coalition. Yet unless ministers are totally

:07:01. > :07:05.confident they will get the authorities to send British planes

:07:06. > :07:06.to Syria, a vote will not happen. Tonight it certainly feels like it

:07:07. > :07:15.is moving in their direction. So big questions tonight about what

:07:16. > :07:17.impact British military action would have on the ground in Syria

:07:18. > :07:20.and whether it could make Britain Our Security Correspondent Frank

:07:21. > :07:32.Gardner has this assessment. Syria hasn't always been at war.

:07:33. > :07:41.Just five years ago it was a popular tourist destination. Ruled by a

:07:42. > :07:47.largely unpopular regime. Then came the Arab Spring. It

:07:48. > :07:54.started as a peaceful protest by unarmed civilians, calling for an

:07:55. > :07:57.end to ash tear arrests and torture. But President Assad's regime

:07:58. > :08:02.responded with bullets and tanks and more torture. By April 2011, the

:08:03. > :08:07.popular up rising was already turning violent. New rebel groups I

:08:08. > :08:15.merged, including radical Islamists. It became a Civil War.

:08:16. > :08:20.In 2013, Assad's forces were widely blamed for a mass poisonous gas

:08:21. > :08:24.attack. Over 1,000 people died. In 2014, the so-called Islamic State

:08:25. > :08:29.seized large parts of Iraq and Syria. US-led air strikes on the

:08:30. > :08:34.group began. Britain joined in but only in Iraq. So does it make

:08:35. > :08:39.military sense to now extend British action into Syria? The military plan

:08:40. > :08:44.is credible in military terms and Britain does have something to

:08:45. > :08:48.contribute as the weapons are accurate, they can be used in a

:08:49. > :08:53.discriminating way. But Britain is not in a position to add huge

:08:54. > :08:57.numbers of aircraft or sorties. Syria has had air strikes for more

:08:58. > :09:01.than four years as rival forces battle for control of territory. The

:09:02. > :09:06.Syrian government is clinging to pockets of land Sloane in red. Then

:09:07. > :09:11.the rebel groups, moderate and radical, shown in light red. The

:09:12. > :09:14.Kurdish forces in yellow, have been fighting against Islamic State,

:09:15. > :09:18.their forces are shown in orange, they are spread across the border

:09:19. > :09:25.into Iraq where Britain is already paschaling them. In Syria, the RAF

:09:26. > :09:29.can only conduct surveillance. If that now changes to British air

:09:30. > :09:34.strikes in Syria, what could go wrong? Many things could go wrong.

:09:35. > :09:40.There are so many steps that have to follow in sequence and as we have

:09:41. > :09:45.seen with the downing of the Russian warplane, that is the kind of thing

:09:46. > :09:47.that canoe cure and throw everything off plan.

:09:48. > :09:51.Then there is the terrorist threat here in Britain.

:09:52. > :09:55.IS already want to target this country.

:09:56. > :09:57.But after such a public debate over air strikes, they are thought likely

:09:58. > :10:04.to want to step up their efforts. Yesterday the Chancellor said he

:10:05. > :10:07.would not go through with But independent experts who've been

:10:08. > :10:10.picking through the details say families could be

:10:11. > :10:13.worse off in other ways. They say that some 2.5 million new

:10:14. > :10:15.claimants would be worse off under the new system

:10:16. > :10:18.of Universal Credit than they would But nearly two million

:10:19. > :10:21.would be better off. Our Economics Correspondent

:10:22. > :10:37.Andy Verity looks at the figures. If George is the builder, can he fix

:10:38. > :10:42.it? Well, sort of. The high-visibility headline what a

:10:43. > :10:46.U-turn on tax credits but laying out the detail, the u-turn takes us to

:10:47. > :10:50.the same destination. Britain needs to move to a lower

:10:51. > :10:56.welfare, higher wage economy, that is what is right for the country. We

:10:57. > :10:59.can help families to the transition to the lower welfare, higher wage

:11:00. > :11:03.economy and use the improvements in the public finances to do that.

:11:04. > :11:07.The Chancellor is planning to take billions from low paid working

:11:08. > :11:14.families who need the income topped up but they are the claimants of

:11:15. > :11:19.tomorrow, not today. Among today's claimantants is Stuart, his family

:11:20. > :11:23.stood to lose up to ?1,500 a year. It means a massive difference to

:11:24. > :11:26.myself and my family. We are cautious as we know there will be

:11:27. > :11:29.further cuts further down the line but we are happy with the result we

:11:30. > :11:33.have at the moment. In this building behind me, the

:11:34. > :11:37.Institute for Fiscal Studies has been explaining what happens to the

:11:38. > :11:42.incomes of low paid working families and the benefit changes going

:11:43. > :11:48.through. 1. 9 million working families will be better off by ?1400

:11:49. > :11:54.a year on average, than under the current system. But 2. 6 million

:11:55. > :11:57.will be worse off to the tune of ?1600 a year.

:11:58. > :12:02.Cuts to tax credits have gone from next year. No-one on a tax credit

:12:03. > :12:04.will see a fall in their car benefits next year or into the

:12:05. > :12:09.future. But the Chancellor is still making

:12:10. > :12:14.the same long-term savings, the way he is doing that is because he is

:12:15. > :12:17.making the Universal Credit system to replace tax credits less

:12:18. > :12:20.generous. The tax credits cuts reduce the

:12:21. > :12:25.amount earned before the tax credit is clawed back. But that happens

:12:26. > :12:32.when they are replaced by Universal Credit. A single parent working part

:12:33. > :12:39.time with a child will get ?2,800 a year less claiming in 2020 than now.

:12:40. > :12:45.For a couple with three children on the Living Wage, it is ?3,050 less.

:12:46. > :12:51.But a single worker could claim ?1,000 more. Universal Credit is

:12:52. > :12:55.rolled out to jobcentres next year, replacing six benefits from tax

:12:56. > :13:00.credits to jobseeker's allowance. But the introduction has been dogged

:13:01. > :13:04.by delays. For the Chancellor it must work. His chances of getting

:13:05. > :13:10.the budget to surplus depend on it. A brief look at some of

:13:11. > :13:13.the day's other other news stories. Barclays has been fined ?72 million

:13:14. > :13:16.for failing to carry out proper The regulator,

:13:17. > :13:19.the Financial Conduct Authority, said the bank didn't follow standard

:13:20. > :13:21.procedures designed to prevent money laundering, because it didn't want

:13:22. > :13:24.to upset its rich customers. There's no suggestion, however, that

:13:25. > :13:27.any crime was actually committed. Talks have begun in an effort to

:13:28. > :13:30.stop the planned industrial action The first

:13:31. > :13:33.of three walkouts over pay and The Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt

:13:34. > :13:37.agreed to meet junior doctors' representatives

:13:38. > :13:44.at the conciliation service ACAS. A communist cult leader who

:13:45. > :13:46.allegedly kept his daughter prisoner for 30 years

:13:47. > :13:48.has denied treating her cruelly. Aravindan Balakrishnan told

:13:49. > :13:50.Southwark Crown court, the reason she didn't go out alone

:13:51. > :13:53.was because she feared she'd be attacked Balakrishnan, who is 75,

:13:54. > :13:55.denies sexually assaulting two of his followers

:13:56. > :14:06.and imprisoning his daughter. Net migration to the UK has hit

:14:07. > :14:08.a new all-time high. The difference between the number

:14:09. > :14:11.of people coming to live in Britain and those leaving

:14:12. > :14:13.the country was 336,000 in That's 82,000 higher than

:14:14. > :14:17.the previous year. But the government wants

:14:18. > :14:39.the total to be much lower, just The Government missed the target,

:14:40. > :14:43.what happened? The Government has been a victim of its own success.

:14:44. > :14:48.The increase is in people coming to work here. Up 73% in three years.

:14:49. > :14:53.Why? The economy is doing well. There are jobs. Britain is

:14:54. > :14:57.attractive. There is also foreign students. The numbers coming to

:14:58. > :15:02.study at UK universities, colleges and schools is flat. Despite the

:15:03. > :15:08.global expansion in the sector which led some to say we could be missing

:15:09. > :15:14.out on foreign income. Refugee, the debate goes on as Europe deals with

:15:15. > :15:19.the exodus from Syria. Refugees, still make up just 5% of non-British

:15:20. > :15:26.immigration. So a small part. The real pull factor is our economy. It

:15:27. > :15:29.is not just that our economic success is encouraging migrants,

:15:30. > :15:33.migrants are boosting our economy. With the new jobs fuelling growth.

:15:34. > :15:39.Two thirds are filled by foreigners. The Chancellor did not need to cut

:15:40. > :15:43.tax credits and the police yesterday because of an official forecast

:15:44. > :15:48.saying that net migration would boost economy growth more than

:15:49. > :15:52.expected in the next few years. The better that the economy does, the

:15:53. > :15:59.harder it is for the Government to hit the net migration target.

:16:00. > :16:06.David Cameron urges MPs to back air strikes on IS extremists in Syria.

:16:07. > :16:09.And still to come - a family affair as Great Britain

:16:10. > :16:14.hopes to win the Davis Cup for the first time in nearly 80 years.

:16:15. > :16:23.And coming up on Reporting Scotland at 18:30.

:16:30. > :16:33.into child abuse in residential institutions.

:16:34. > :16:37.And the world premiere of a new opera - sung in Shetland dialect.

:16:38. > :16:40.Climate change is something we've reported on many times

:16:41. > :16:44.But now it seems that food waste could be making the problem worse.

:16:45. > :16:47.Every year we throw away more than 4 million tonnes unnecessarily -

:16:48. > :16:53.and most of it ends up on rubbish dumps around the country.

:16:54. > :16:54.Scientists are now studying the greenhouse gases

:16:55. > :17:00.As world leaders prepare for a summit on climate change in

:17:04. > :17:13.On a frozen morning steam rises from a mountain of waste.

:17:14. > :17:18.A scene that most of us never think about.

:17:19. > :17:21.But at this site near Manchester, and 200 others, rubbish dumped

:17:22. > :17:25.When you get this close the smell does become pretty intense.

:17:26. > :17:27.That is because the waste here, including old bits of food,

:17:28. > :17:37.What is happening is that bacteria are working away on that waste

:17:38. > :17:41.and giving off a host of different gases, including greenhouse gases.

:17:42. > :17:49.This is happening on a massive scale right across the country.

:17:50. > :17:52.Households throw away staggering amounts of food.

:17:53. > :17:54.For example, the equivalent of 86 million

:17:55. > :18:02.We asked researchers to monitor what happens under lights that mimic

:18:03. > :18:09.Our time-lapse camera followed the grim process of decomposition.

:18:10. > :18:12.Bacteria creating gases that force the chicken to swell up over

:18:13. > :18:18.No surprise, flies were soon attracted.

:18:19. > :18:23.We have injected the sample from the decomposed chicken

:18:24. > :18:29.and you can see this large peak here, that peak is methane.

:18:30. > :18:30.Some food is collected by local councils,

:18:31. > :18:37.And that means more greenhouse gases added to the air, and money wasted.

:18:38. > :18:48.Not only is it costing us a lot of money as householders, that is ?60

:18:49. > :18:51.a month for the average family with children, but the 4.2 million tonnes

:18:52. > :18:57.A lot of it ends up going to landfill where it basically just

:18:58. > :18:58.rots and gives off greenhouse gas emissions.

:18:59. > :19:01.There are ways that food waste can be used.

:19:02. > :19:03.Here, rubbish is divided automatically.

:19:04. > :19:07.Some of it diverted into equipment that goes on to produce electricity.

:19:08. > :19:10.Not on a big scale so far, but more and more waste is being

:19:11. > :19:16.Any food waste, whether it is leftover food, or food

:19:17. > :19:22.that has gone off, it is important people put that in the right bin.

:19:23. > :19:25.We can take that material, use it in technology like this,

:19:26. > :19:29.People, by recycling their food waste, are actually

:19:30. > :19:33.Scientists prepare a drone to fly over landfill and

:19:34. > :19:39.Nobody knows exactly how big the problem is, but these flights

:19:40. > :19:45.Many landfill sites are due to close in the coming years,

:19:46. > :19:49.but even when they do there will be a legacy of gases seeping out

:19:50. > :20:10.Muslim organisations have said protecting child welfare is

:20:11. > :20:13.a priority, but they have expressed concern about the Government

:20:14. > :20:15.interfering in the independence of religious institutions.

:20:16. > :20:26.Here's our Education Editor Branwen Jeffreys.

:20:27. > :20:32.And 500 children in that one of Preston's largest madrassas. They

:20:33. > :20:35.are here for after-school classes and everyday part of growing up for

:20:36. > :20:41.many Muslim children. -- and everyday part. They are here to

:20:42. > :20:45.learn how to be good Muslims and learned to re-site and read the

:20:46. > :20:59.Koran. Under Government plans, any regular teacher like this will be

:21:00. > :21:06.regulated. -- recite and read. This is being done to make sure extreme

:21:07. > :21:12.it -- extremist views are not being taught. In our madrassa we started

:21:13. > :21:16.to say shared values. The madrassas, on the contrary, are making the

:21:17. > :21:24.positive changes to the life of many Muslims in understanding the

:21:25. > :21:29.mainstream Islam. She says radicalisation happens on social

:21:30. > :21:32.media, not at madrassas. The curriculum fit into David Cameron's

:21:33. > :21:37.big society and about making a difference in the community,

:21:38. > :21:41.cohesion, and integration. That is what madrassas are all about. If he

:21:42. > :21:48.wants to take the issue of terrorism and extremism innings to come from a

:21:49. > :21:53.very different angle. -- it needs to come from. The religious instruction

:21:54. > :21:58.in madrassas is very much part of the normal weekly routine for

:21:59. > :22:03.British Muslim children. Madrassas have a core role in shaping their

:22:04. > :22:05.perception of the world and their place in society. And there are

:22:06. > :22:11.concerns about some teaching happening in backstreet settings. ,

:22:12. > :22:19.intolerant views, and children being hit. -- about narrow minded,

:22:20. > :22:23.intolerant views. We owe a duty of care to all of the children in this

:22:24. > :22:26.country so they are brought up to respect values of democracy,

:23:00. > :23:08.conflict of interests in which he denied. I have stepped down from my

:23:09. > :23:12.ambassadorial role with Nike which dates back to eight years. The noise

:23:13. > :23:18.around this role is not good for the IAAF, and it is not good for Nike.

:23:19. > :23:22.Frankly, it is a distraction to the 18 hour days that I and our teams

:23:23. > :23:25.are working to steady the ship. Our Sports Editor Dan Roan is

:23:26. > :23:35.in Monaco. Why has he stepped down?

:23:36. > :23:40.Ever since he became the most powerful man in athletics earlier

:23:41. > :23:44.this summer he has faced tough questions over whether or not it was

:23:45. > :23:51.right that he retained a paid ambassadorial role for Nike, the US

:23:52. > :23:54.sports giant, worth around ?100,000 per year. This question only

:23:55. > :23:59.intensified earlier this week when the BBC obtained an e-mail, which

:24:00. > :24:13.appeared to show that he has been in discussions with a senior Nike

:24:14. > :24:16.executive. He maintains it doesn't constitute a conflict of interests.

:24:17. > :24:21.He wasn't lobbying on the half of the executive. He said he wasn't

:24:22. > :24:24.doing anything wrong. But the pressure has got too much. He said

:24:25. > :24:28.it wasn't because it was wrong, but because of the noise around the

:24:29. > :24:31.controversy. Others will say the timing is interesting, coming just a

:24:32. > :24:39.couple of days after that story. The calls for him to quit that role

:24:40. > :24:42.mirror the slogan of Nike, Just Do It. And he has.

:24:43. > :24:44.Thank you. Andy Murray is

:24:45. > :24:46.the man who brought success back to British tennis many feared would

:24:47. > :24:49.never come again with the first But now he's aiming for success

:24:50. > :24:54.which might mean even more; winning The Davis Cup final begins tomorrow

:24:55. > :24:58.with Great Britain playing Ghent, where the modern world

:24:59. > :25:07.squeezes in alongside the medieval. For centuries a city of rivers,

:25:08. > :25:10.for the next few days the world's The biggest tennis occasions are

:25:11. > :25:14.routine for Andy Murray, And what stronger team than

:25:15. > :25:25.a family? Britain's final is

:25:26. > :25:28.down to the Murrays' commitment. For us to be able to be a part

:25:29. > :25:32.of that, on the same team, is a pretty unique thing to do, I think,

:25:33. > :25:35.for two brothers to play at the highest level in sport and being

:25:36. > :25:38.able to represent your country, too, Five or six years ago, we were way,

:25:39. > :25:43.way behind, you know, I think it was the lowest

:25:44. > :25:50.level we have ever been at. Four or five years later,

:25:51. > :25:56.to be playing, and competing in the final,

:25:57. > :25:59.it is a great opportunity for us. There is the draw,

:26:00. > :26:01.Andy Murray will play Then it's Andy and Jamie Murray

:26:02. > :26:08.playing the doubles on Saturday. Basically, Britain need to win three

:26:09. > :26:11.matches to get back the Davis Cup. Britain actually have not

:26:12. > :26:15.won it since the 1930s. However you look at it,

:26:16. > :26:18.it is a big deal. This is a reward

:26:19. > :26:21.for all those who followed the team. Travelling to Ghent at a time

:26:22. > :26:23.of heightened security in nearby Brussels required careful

:26:24. > :26:27.consideration. We are really not aware

:26:28. > :26:33.of anything untoward going on. It just feels like

:26:34. > :26:35.a normal European city. It could be a once-in-a-lifetime

:26:36. > :26:37.opportunity for us. Obviously,

:26:38. > :26:38.we have never been anywhere near a Davis Cup final before in our

:26:39. > :26:42.lifetime, and you just don't know what's around the corner, in terms

:26:43. > :26:44.of the next players coming through. Kyle Edmund, aged 20, will make

:26:45. > :26:47.his Davis Cup debut for Britain But what will it feel

:26:48. > :26:52.like without the Murrays? Imagine approaching this

:26:53. > :27:07.inflatable with a great big pin. It has been a fine and quiet day for

:27:08. > :27:16.most. This was taken by one of our view was taken by one of our blue

:27:17. > :27:20.sky and sunshine. Temperatures today reached 15 Celsius. Well above

:27:21. > :27:24.average for this time of year. Some brightness in the east. For most,

:27:25. > :27:28.quite a lot of cloud. That sticks with us this evening and overnight.

:27:43. > :27:47.Drizzly outbreaks mainly over the hills in the West at the

:27:48. > :27:51.temperatures overnight, around ten to 12 Celsius. Starting off mild for

:27:52. > :27:55.most, but attention turns to this cold front. It is heading in a

:28:03. > :28:06.rain. That will sink South. To the south-east of that, we have the mild

:28:07. > :28:09.air, so double figures. Further north and west, around four to six

:28:17. > :28:19.showers, many across the hills of Scotland and Northern Ireland.

:28:20. > :28:22.Further south and east, that is where we see the clear and dry

:28:23. > :28:26.conditions. But where ever you are, it will be a chilly start of the

:28:27. > :28:30.weekend with temperatures in towns and cities typically at Fort

:28:41. > :28:44.the weekend, and cool. Further outbreaks of rain added a bit of
