:06:44. > :06:45.from Cornwall to the North Sea. Toppling trees, damaging buildings,
:06:46. > :06:49.bringing down power lines. At its peak the gale had enough

:07:43. > :07:46.too today, we have been impressed by the strength of the storm and the
:07:47. > :07:50.effect it had. Many people are thankful it did happen mostly during
:07:51. > :07:53.the hours of darkness. If there had been more people about with that

:09:08. > :09:11.video seems to show that the expected wholesale destruction of
:09:12. > :09:15.the UNESCO world Heritage site has not happened, to the relief of
:09:16. > :09:28.archaeologists everywhere, especially in Syria. When my son was
:09:29. > :09:33.born it was the most beautiful day in my life. The second most little
:09:34. > :09:44.day was when pub mirror was not destroyed. It was saved partly
:09:45. > :09:49.because the top architect refused to reveal the whereabouts of several
:09:50. > :09:57.valuable artefacts. He was later beheaded. The significance goes
:09:58. > :10:05.beyond the saving of the prized city. It is also a very significant
:10:06. > :10:11.strategic gain. It can be used as a base against jihadist forces. The
:10:12. > :10:19.Syrian army is even vowing to move against Raqqa. Viewed as the Islamic
:10:20. > :10:24.state's headquarters within Syria. The Russian air force would probably
:10:25. > :10:30.be behind all this. It has already been in action in recent months. The
:10:31. > :10:34.combination of air strikes and reenergised Syrian forces on the
:10:35. > :10:40.ground is putting President Assad and the Kremlin at the battle
