in a friendly in Cardiff tonight, with both sides preparing for the | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six. | :01:27. | :01:53. | |
It has taken 21 years but today Radovan Karadzic has been found | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
guilty of genocide and other war crimes for his role | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
Karadzic, who was arrested in 2008 after 13 years on the run, | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
The verdict at the international tribunal in The Hague found him | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
responsible for the Srebrenica massacre in which some 8,000 Muslim | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
men and boys were rounded up and shot. | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
Our special correspondent, Allan Little, reported on the war | :02:20. | :02:21. | |
All rise. It is the most symbolically charged | :02:22. | :02:37. | |
international war crimes verdict in Europe since the Nuremberg trials. | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
Radovan Karadzic presented himself as a man striving for peace | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
throughout his trial. The evidence was overwhelming. In Sarajevo, the | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
judge said, his forces, called the SRK, sniped at and bombarded | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
civilians, they fired at children playing or cycling in the street, | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
thousands died, Karadzic knew about it and bore individual criminal | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
responsibility for it. The Chamber is convinced that the SRK conducted | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
a campaign of sniping and shelling of Sarajevo with the intention to, | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
among other things, terrorise the civilian population living there. | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
Elsewhere, hundreds of thousands of non-Serbs were forcibly expelled | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
from their homes, in a campaign to carve out an ethnically pure Serb | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
state. Thousands of men were held in camps in deplorable conditions, | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
there were mass murders, beatings, rapes. It was organised and | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
systematic extermination, a crime against humanity, the judge said. In | :03:39. | :03:46. | |
July 1995, his forces murdered 8,000 Bosnian Muslims at Srebrenica. It | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
was an attempt at ethnic elimination, the judge said. | :03:51. | :03:51. | |
was an attempt at ethnic Karadzic agreed to the killings and | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
for this, he was guilty of genocide. The accused shared the intent that | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
every able-bodied Bosnian Muslim male from Srebrenica be killed, | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
which, the Chamber finds, amounts to the intent to destroy the Bosnian | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
Muslims in Srebrenica as such. Among the many victims of the Srebrenica | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
killings were the father, the mother and the younger brother of this man. | :04:21. | :04:27. | |
He survived because he worked as a translator. He was in court today to | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
hear the verdict. The ruling is important for the prevention of any | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
future potential genocide in the region, or in the world. It is the | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
best way to prevent future genocide, to do international justice, have | :04:43. | :04:49. | |
this kind of ruling. For the bereaved, Karadzic's sentence did | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
not seem commensurate with their loss. | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
TRANSLATION: I don't think anything, he's been rewarded. There has been | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
killing and I have been left all alone without anyone in this world. | :05:02. | :05:08. | |
I'm speechless. Mr Karadzic, could you please | :05:09. | :05:10. | |
stand... 21 years after he was indicted, | :05:11. | :05:18. | |
Radovan Karadzic rose to face justice. Guilty of the following | :05:19. | :05:29. | |
counts: Count two, genocide. Count three, persecution, a crime against | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
humanity. Count four, extermination, a crime against humanity. Count | :05:36. | :05:46. | |
five, murder... A century ago, he seemed beyond responsibility. | :05:47. | :05:54. | |
Tonight, he is to spend the rest of his life in prison. | :05:55. | :05:56. | |
Did you ever think this day would come? No, I didn't. Neither did he. | :05:57. | :06:06. | |
We got to know him quite well back then, especially in that first year | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
of war, he was friendly, we could see the atrocities his troops were | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
committing on the ground and yet his version of events, his account of | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
the war bore no relation to that reality at all. I went to see him | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
when the war was a year old when he rejected the latest peace plan and | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
all other parties accepted it. I said to him, don't you think there | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
will come a day when you look back at this moment and see it as a | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
moment that you had a chance to choose peace and become an architect | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
of reconciliation and you chose a continuation of war, and a path that | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
might lead you to a prison cell in The Hague? He tipped his head back, | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
he laughed very politely, and dismissed my idea as naive and | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
implausible. The idea of international justice was a naive | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
fantasy back then. It is not a naive fantasy now and it is an instructive | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
memory because it's a reminder of how far that idea has come since the | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
killing fields of Bosnia propelled these courts into existence. Thank | :07:05. | :07:05. | |
you very much. Police in Belgium are still piecing | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
together the evidence There are reports that there may now | :07:09. | :07:10. | |
be two suspects on the run. EU ministers are meeting in the city | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
for emergency security talks amidst some criticism of intelligence | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
agencies in Belgium. Our Europe correspondent, | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
Damian Grammaticus, reports. Belgium's King led | :07:23. | :07:29. | |
the national mourning today. Even as he did, the Prime | :07:30. | :07:37. | |
Minister was being offered resignations by his ministers | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
of interior and justice He refused them, but promised | :07:41. | :07:46. | |
a full investigation. TRANSLATION: We cannot | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
have impunity. The government will do absolutely | :07:53. | :07:54. | |
everything it can to shed light on the attacks and everything | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
that contributed to them. Belgium's leaders now | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
face the twin challenges of guiding a nation which is still | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
in mourning whilst also overseeing what is an ongoing investigation | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
and dealing with the questions which arise - most of | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
all, could more have been done to stop the men who did | :08:14. | :08:15. | |
this before they carried At least one of the men had been | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
linked since December to the Paris attacks and had had | :08:19. | :08:27. | |
Europe-wide arrest warrants issued The first piece of new information | :08:28. | :08:29. | |
concerns the metro attack, carried | :08:30. | :08:39. | |
By Khalid El Bakraoui. Now, police are believed to be | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
looking for a second, unidentified man carrying a large | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
bag, seen talking to him just before And there are more details about the | :08:47. | :08:48. | |
airport attackers, too. The mystery man in the hat who ran | :08:49. | :08:55. | |
away is still being hunted. The suicide bomber | :08:56. | :08:57. | |
on the left may be Najim Laachraoui, who it is thought | :08:58. | :08:59. | |
made the Paris bombs, too. And the other suicide | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
bomber here was Ibrahim el-Bakraoui, | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
a convicted armed robber. This was the aftermath five years | :09:06. | :09:15. | |
ago of the raid in which he shot He served his time but broke | :09:16. | :09:17. | |
his parole conditions Last June, Turkey arrested him | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
on the Syrian border. Belgium was informed | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
but did not ask for his return. The chance to jail him | :09:25. | :09:26. | |
again was missed. TRANSLATION: I feel | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
in the circumstances it was right The Prime Minister told me, | :09:32. | :09:33. | |
in the current situation, in a war, you cannot | :09:34. | :09:40. | |
leave the field. And the one man | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
who could answer many questions, the Paris | :09:46. | :09:47. | |
attacker Salah Abdeslam, He wants to go to | :09:48. | :09:54. | |
France, that is where In the meantime, Belgians are left | :09:55. | :10:01. | |
grasping for answers. Did it missed chances | :10:02. | :10:03. | |
to prevent the atrocities? And what about the men | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
still on the loose? More than 250 people | :10:09. | :10:09. | |
were injured in the attack - Six Britons are among the survivors | :10:10. | :10:20. | |
- two are still in hospital. Another British citizen, | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
David Dixon, is still missing. Our Europe correspondent, | :10:26. | :10:27. | |
Lucy Williamson, has been speaking to one Briton caught up | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
in the attack on the Metro. Among the first to hear | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
Mark's story of survival, How this British policy advisor | :10:35. | :10:37. | |
stepped out of the Metro at Maelbeek station and into the blast | :10:38. | :10:43. | |
of a suicide bomb. At his home in Brussels, | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
Mark told me that those few seconds of chaos had left him | :10:49. | :10:50. | |
with concussion, vertigo I was travelling with a friend, | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
so I remember shaking his hand goodbye as I stepped off the train, | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
and that's the last thing I have one static image of me | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
crouching on some stairs, Whilst he was being treated | :11:05. | :11:12. | |
on the ground outside, he says rumours of a new threat | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
began to sweep through There was panic and the bystander | :11:18. | :11:19. | |
who was helping me said, "Get up, get up, run, | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
they're telling us to run." So, I got up with him and simply ran | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
in the other direction. Other stories ended | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
very differently. Dozens were critically injured | :11:35. | :11:37. | |
in the attacks and other lives ended there in the station, or by the | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
airport's baggage machines. This man says his initial injuries | :11:43. | :11:53. | |
helped him survive. I remember falling down and my hip exploding. I | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
heard a second explosion and now I'm starting to think about it, I think | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
that is what saved me because I was on the ground when the second | :12:03. | :12:04. | |
explosion went off. At the military hospital here, | :12:05. | :12:07. | |
soldiers direct victims and their Roger came here today | :12:08. | :12:09. | |
for a consultation on the shrapnel He was at the airport | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
with his sister when TRANSLATION: The bomb exploded, | :12:14. | :12:16. | |
my sister cried, "It's a bomb." She was on the floor and she said, | :12:17. | :12:24. | |
"I can't, I'm out of breath." Belgium's military hospital | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
is starting to play a central role A place with experience | :12:30. | :12:36. | |
of battlefield injuries A centre for the relatives has | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
also been set up here. Many of them say they are frustrated | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
at how difficult it is to get concrete information | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
about the wounded. Several patients in intensive care | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
have yet to be identified. Today, the family friends of one | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
missing man demanded access to them. We are told that they are hard | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
to recognise, they are bandaged, but we are confident that a parent, | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
a mother and a father, can identify if it is their son or | :13:06. | :13:08. | |
daughter lying on that hospital bed. Three days on, many here are still | :13:09. | :13:14. | |
waiting to know their loved ones' stories, unsure if their tales | :13:15. | :13:17. | |
are of survival or of death. The former England and Sunderland | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
footballer Adam Johnson has been jailed for six years | :13:22. | :13:29. | |
for child sex offences. Johnson, who's 28, was found guilty | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
earlier this month of sexual The judge at Bradford Crown Court | :13:34. | :13:35. | |
told him he had abused a position of trust and caused his victim | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
"severe psychological harm". Leaving home for one last time, | :13:40. | :13:55. | |
protected by gates, hidden by blacked-out windows, closely | :13:56. | :14:02. | |
guarding his final hours of freedom. Waiting at court, dozens of police | :14:03. | :14:04. | |
officers and camera crews, but watch Waiting at court, dozens of police | :14:05. | :14:11. | |
as his car arrives. Where is Adam Johnson? Running, trying to sneak | :14:12. | :14:23. | |
into court, surrounded by a chaos of his own making. In the dock he was | :14:24. | :14:35. | |
silent. Judge Jonathan Rose told him, this girl was scared, | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
intimidated, called a liar. The girl now suffers night terrors. She | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
cannot sleep. You had a gift for football, but embarked on a | :14:44. | :14:51. | |
compulsive drive for sex. From England footballer, to child | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
sex offender, the court heard Johnson used his fame to abuse the | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
15-year-old girl. She was besotted with him. Prosecutors said it was | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
classic grooming. Adam Johnson exploited a young star-struck fan, | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
grooming her over a period of months in a single-minded pursuit of his | :15:11. | :15:15. | |
own sexual gratification. Today, a statement from Adam Johnson's | :15:16. | :15:17. | |
15-year-old victim was read out in court. She said: | :15:18. | :15:33. | |
The court also heard her suffering was made worse by social media, | :15:34. | :15:39. | |
campaign groups, all supporting Adam Johnson. You have got the secondary | :15:40. | :15:46. | |
trauma of online trawling, and re-victimisation if you like the | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
victim. It is utterly unacceptable. Tonight, Adam Johnson left court, as | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
he arrived, with chaos, to begin his six-year sentence. In his own words, | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
an arrogant footballer who thought he could do what he wanted. | :16:01. | :16:03. | |

Coming up in Sportsday on BBC News - a new home for Formula 1. | :16:26. | :16:28. | |
It won't be shown on terrestrial TV from 2019. | :16:29. | :16:31. | |

the British Grand Prix on a new free-to-air channel. | :16:35. | :16:47. | |
There is new hope for people with type 1 diabetes - | :16:48. | :16:49. | |
a disease with life-changing effects for those unfortunate enough | :16:50. | :16:52. | |
Trials of a new treatment have begun in London. | :16:53. | :16:56. | |
The condition affects 400,000 people in the UK, | :16:57. | :16:59. | |
Unlike type 2 diabetes, it is not linked to lifestyle, | :17:00. | :17:06. | |
but caused by the immune system destroying the cells | :17:07. | :17:09. | |
Our medical correspondent, Fergus Walsh, has had exclusive | :17:10. | :17:14. | |
access to the trial at Guy's Hospital in London. | :17:15. | :17:19. | |
Checking blood sugar levels is vital with type 1 diabetes. | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
Natalie has to calibrate how much insulin she needs | :17:24. | :17:26. | |
She is part of a pioneering trial of an immunotherapy | :17:27. | :17:33. | |
treatment developed at the Biomedical Research Centre | :17:34. | :17:35. | |
This is the first of six injections she will get in the coming months. | :17:36. | :17:44. | |
I really hope it controls my diabetes and slows the regression, | :17:45. | :17:47. | |
so that I can live a bit more of a normal life, | :17:48. | :17:50. | |
like a normal person would without diabetes. | :17:51. | :17:53. | |
Type 1 diabetes is caused when the immune | :17:54. | :17:55. | |
system mistakenly attacks specialist beta cells in the pancreas, | :17:56. | :17:59. | |
which produce insulin, the hormone which | :18:00. | :18:01. | |
The injections contain protein fragments | :18:02. | :18:08. | |
designed to retrain the immune system so that rather than attacking | :18:09. | :18:21. | |
In cancer, it is being used to boost our natural defences | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
so that they can recognise and attack tumour cells. | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
While in conditions like multiple sclerosis, allergies and now type 1 | :18:30. | :18:32. | |
diabetes, the aim is to reset the immune system so that it doesn't | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
The immunologist leading the trial says, | :18:38. | :18:43. | |
if this approach works, the benefits to patients | :18:44. | :18:47. | |
If we get in with this therapy early enough, | :18:48. | :18:52. | |
we protect the beta cells that remain in those patients. | :18:53. | :18:54. | |
That means they continue to make their own insulin, | :18:55. | :18:57. | |
and we know that that gives them better control | :18:58. | :18:59. | |
Better control of blood glucose means that their risk | :19:00. | :19:09. | |
of future complications of diabetes is reduced. | :19:10. | :19:15. | |
Those complications can include kidney, eye and heart disease. | :19:16. | :19:18. | |
Jack was part of an immunotherapy trial last year. | :19:19. | :19:21. | |
Although he still has to inject insulin, | :19:22. | :19:25. | |
he is confident it helped him. | :19:26. | :19:26. | |
My blood glucose control has been really | :19:27. | :19:30. | |
tight, and a large part of that, to my mind, is a result of this | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
It will be awhile before we know if immunotherapy | :19:36. | :19:37. | |
really can slow the progression of diabetes in people | :19:38. | :19:40. | |
If it does, it will be tested in young children before the disease | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
takes hold, with the goal of preventing them ever | :19:45. | :19:48. | |
The funeral has been held in Londonderry for five members | :19:49. | :20:09. | |
-- for three children and two adults who drowned on Sunday when their car | :20:10. | :20:22. | |
slipped off a pier. A baby girl was rescued after the accident in | :20:23. | :20:24. | |
Buncrana. The bodies of a man and woman found | :20:25. | :20:27. | |
by rescuers have now been confirmed as the two climbers who went missing | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
on Ben Nevis in February. Tim Newton and Rachel Slater | :20:32. | :20:34. | |
from Bradford failed to return from the mountain, and hazardous | :20:35. | :20:36. | |
weather hampered initial efforts Years after legislation was passed | :20:37. | :20:38. | |
in Britain to help disabled people with their daily lives, | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
many still find they are at a disadvantage when it comes | :20:44. | :20:45. | |
to the simplest activities. That is the conclusion of a report | :20:46. | :20:48. | |
from the House of Lords today. It accuses the Government | :20:49. | :20:51. | |
of treating disabled people Our disability news | :20:52. | :20:53. | |
correspondent Nikki Fox reports. Came here last time and could not | :20:54. | :21:09. | |
get up steps, obviously being in a wheelchair. Tom was paralysed after | :21:10. | :21:12. | |
being assured in Afghanistan wheelchair. Tom was paralysed after | :21:13. | :21:15. | |
years ago. Just getting around his local town centre can be difficult, | :21:16. | :21:20. | |
often impossible. There is a restaurants which has a flight of | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
stairs down. Obviously, able-bodied people just walk down it. I cannot | :21:26. | :21:31. | |
get down it at all. I would have to basically go down on my bomb. It is | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
not ideal at all. Access problems like Tom's are happening far too | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
often. That is according to a damning report out today by the | :21:41. | :21:43. | |
House of Lords to it does not just look at access. It highlights the | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
fact that disabled people are being let down in every area of life, | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
whether that be in education, housing or transport. Over 150 | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
disabled people and organisations have contributed to this report. It | :21:57. | :22:02. | |
is huge. In short, it clearly state that the Equality Act, designed to | :22:03. | :22:05. | |
protect disabled people from discrimination, just is not working. | :22:06. | :22:12. | |
This criticism follows two weeks of pressure on government over its | :22:13. | :22:16. | |
policies when it comes to disabled people, after it was forced to make | :22:17. | :22:19. | |
a U-turn over cuts to disability and effects. I do not accept that as a | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
government we are failing in any way. -- disability benefits. We are | :22:25. | :22:30. | |
doing more than any previous government in supporting people with | :22:31. | :22:33. | |
disabilities. But the select committee disagrees. It has put | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
forward 15 recommendations. We need the government to get behind it. We | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
need local authorities to get behind it. We need all the people that | :22:43. | :22:47. | |
build our buildings, run our transport systems, plan our Society | :22:48. | :22:53. | |
- they have got to get behind it. And if they don't, then they should | :22:54. | :22:59. | |
expect the hand of the law to be on their shoulder. This report is | :23:00. | :23:03. | |
asking for big changes, changes which many feel are just overdue. In | :23:04. | :23:08. | |
the meantime, this restaurant owner is at least listening to ways he can | :23:09. | :23:09. | |
make a difference. He was one of the greatest | :23:10. | :23:12. | |
footballers in the world. Johan Cruyff, the legendary | :23:13. | :23:16. | |
Dutch striker and coach, He died surrounded by friends | :23:17. | :23:19. | |
and family in Barcelona. Three times Johan Cruyff was voted | :23:20. | :23:23. | |
Europe's best player. Our sports editor, Dan Roan, | :23:24. | :23:25. | |
looks back at his life, Cruyff! He left him for dead! Johann | :23:26. | :23:45. | |
Cruyff turned football on its head. He was so influential, he even | :23:46. | :23:50. | |
Cruyff turned football on its head. move named after him. But the Cruyff | :23:51. | :23:52. | |
turn was only part of the legend. The Dutchman is remembered as a | :23:53. | :23:57. | |
sporting revolutionary. He learned his skills on the streets of | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
Amsterdam. He joined local club Ajax, and helped them enjoy a period | :24:02. | :24:07. | |
of unprecedented success, including six Dutch league titles and the | :24:08. | :24:12. | |
European Cup three times in a row. Sold for a world-record fee to | :24:13. | :24:16. | |
underperforming Spanish giants Barcelona in 1973, Cruyff guided the | :24:17. | :24:22. | |
club to the domestic title for the first time in more than a decade. | :24:23. | :24:26. | |
The Nou Camp was a fitting stage for his artistry. The word great, | :24:27. | :24:30. | |
legend, sometimes is used a little bit loosely. Sometimes even | :24:31. | :24:35. | |
flippantly these days. You become great when you score a goal in a | :24:36. | :24:40. | |
game. But there are one or two greats, one or two legends, and | :24:41. | :24:44. | |
Johann Cruyff was one of those. Cruyff never won football's ultimate | :24:45. | :24:50. | |
prize but he was the dominant figure in a Dutch team which lit up the | :24:51. | :24:59. | |
1974 World Cup. In the end, the Netherlands lost the final two West | :25:00. | :25:03. | |
Germany. But Cruyff and his team-mates will always be remembered | :25:04. | :25:07. | |
as the ultimate expression of total football, an attacking tactic where | :25:08. | :25:14. | |
players constantly switch positions. Having been crowned European Player | :25:15. | :25:17. | |
of the Year three times, Cruyff for the thoughts turned to the future. | :25:18. | :25:24. | |
What I would like to do, 15 years looking after things, winning, | :25:25. | :25:27. | |
winning, winning, you change a little your mentality. I like now to | :25:28. | :25:32. | |
teach and give a little of my experience to the younger players. | :25:33. | :25:37. | |
As a coach, he was no less inspirational, masterminding league | :25:38. | :25:40. | |
titles and a European trophy at Ajax before leading Barcelona to four | :25:41. | :25:44. | |
league championships and their first European Cup in 1992. He was the | :25:45. | :25:49. | |
best player in training most of the time, even though he was well past | :25:50. | :25:53. | |
his sell by date in terms of playing. He was an extraordinarily | :25:54. | :25:58. | |
talented individual and also a great visionary on the game. Cruyff was a | :25:59. | :26:02. | |
freethinker, heavy smoker until he gave up, going on to campaign for | :26:03. | :26:07. | |
others to quit as well. He will be remembered for his style, his vision | :26:08. | :26:11. | |
and his elegance and the belief that football must be played with the | :26:12. | :26:14. | |
brain as well as the feet, a belief which has formed part of every great | :26:15. | :26:16. | |
player and every great team since. The footballer, Johan Cruyff, | :26:17. | :26:21. | |
who's died at the age of 68. It has been largely dry and saddled | :26:22. | :26:38. | |
across many parts of the country for a couple of weeks now. But it is | :26:39. | :26:43. | |
changing. This is a typical scene from today. Grey skies, outbreaks of | :26:44. | :26:48. | |
rain and some strong winds at times as well. All down to this frontal | :26:49. | :26:51. | |
system, edging southwards and eastwards across the country. More | :26:52. | :26:55. | |
low pressure systems to come from the Atlantic. Overnight tonight, | :26:56. | :27:01. | |
still outbreaks of rain across southern and eastern parts of | :27:02. | :27:05. | |
England. Elsewhere, with clearing skies, colder conditions coming in. | :27:06. | :27:09. | |
Many places waking up to a touch of frost for Good Friday. Through the | :27:10. | :27:15. | |
day, looking largely dry and saddled. Good Friday will probably | :27:16. | :27:20. | |
be the best day of the long weekend. Some fairweather cloud building | :27:21. | :27:23. | |
later on. Temperatures could get up to 14-15. It does not stay that way. | :27:24. | :27:28. | |
Into the early hours of Saturday, the next front comes into western | :27:29. | :27:33. | |
areas, with strengthening winds. Squally winds, heavy rain, working | :27:34. | :27:37. | |
west to east across the country. Especially across England and Wales. | :27:38. | :27:45. | |
Northern Ireland and Scotland, a little bit quieter on Saturday. It | :27:46. | :27:51. | |
is across England and Wales where we have that combination of gales and | :27:52. | :27:55. | |
heavy rain. It could lead to some travel disruption. On Easter Sunday, | :27:56. | :28:00. | |
sunny spells with heavy downpours as well. Some hail and thunder mixed | :28:01. | :28:08. | |
in. Squally winds. Temperatures a bit below where they should be for | :28:09. | :28:11. | |
this time of the year. Easter Monday brings another low pressure system. | :28:12. | :28:15. | |
More wind and rain, particularly for England and Wales. Perhaps a bit | :28:16. | :28:19. | |
quieter for Scotland and Northern Ireland. 20 going on in the Easter | :28:20. | :28:24. | |
weather. Most of us should get some sunshine at least on Good Friday. | :28:25. | :28:30. |
