Trapped inside the Orlando nightclub - a man who was shot several times | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
Lying wounded on the dance floor, unable to move, he'd been shot | :00:10. | :00:14. | |
Speaking from hospital, Angel Colon described how he played | :00:15. | :00:20. | |
dead when the gunman returned and started shooting again. | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
I can hear the shot, the shotgun is closer and I look | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
over and he shoots the girl next to me. | :00:29. | :00:30. | |
And I'm just there, laying down and thinking, | :00:31. | :00:33. | |

Sportsday live from Paris at 6:30pm on BBC News, | :01:15. | :01:16. | |
all the news from the tournament and some action as well, | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
with four teams playing today. Good evening and welcome | :01:21. | :01:45. | |
to the Six o'clock News. Today, we have been hearing one | :01:46. | :01:55. | |
really quite incredible story of survival, after the game nightclub | :01:56. | :01:57. | |
shootings, just down the road in Orlando. Angel Colon was shot three | :01:58. | :02:04. | |
times but today, he was well enough to speak from his hospital bed and | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
he described how he had to play dead in auditors of IV shootings while | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
the killer, Omar Mateen, fired indiscriminately all around him. He | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
was even shooting at bodies that had already fallen on the floor. Today | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
it has emerged that Mateen was a frequent visitor to the club in | :02:23. | :02:29. | |
Orlando. 49 people died in the shooting, six people are still in | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
hospital, described as being in a critical condition. The first report | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
comes from our North American editor, Jon Sopel. | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
Stories of horror and survival don't come much more vivid than this. At | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
the hospital news conference, Angel Colon, who was shot three times in | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
the lead, was applauded from his wheelchair as he spoke about the | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
nightmare that unfolded in the Pulse nightclub. Everyone started running | :02:54. | :03:02. | |
everywhere, I got trampled over. I shattered and break my bones in my | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
left leg. -- and broke. By this time, I could not walk at all, all I | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
could do was lay down while everyone was running on top of me, trying to | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
get to where they had to be. All I could hear was the shot gun. One | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
after another. People screaming and yelling for help. He is shooting | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
everyone that is already dead on the floor, making sure that... I was | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
able to peek over and I can just see him shooting at everyone. I can hear | :03:31. | :03:38. | |
the shot, the shot gun is closer and I look over and he shoots the girl | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
next to me. I'm just there, laying down thinking, "I'm next, I'm dead". | :03:44. | :03:50. | |
So I don't know how but by the glory of God, he shoots towards my head | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
but it hits my hands. Then he shoots me again and it hits the side of my | :03:56. | :04:02. | |
hip. I had no reaction, I was prepared to just stay there, laying | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
down, so he won't know that I'm alive. | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
# Let it be, let it be # Let it be, let it be. # | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
In Orlando last night, sombre reflection as people from all walks | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
of life came together to express their revulsion at what had | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
happened. Let us take a moment in silence as we prepare for the | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
ringing of the bells. The visual ended with a minute's silence but as | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
the crowd dispersed, details were emerging about Omar Mateen that | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
called into question whether this massacre was simply the act of an | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
Islamic extremist. In the immediate aftermath of the shooting at the | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
Pulse nightclub, a lot of people asked why here, why Orlando, when | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
there was only other, bigger, better known clubs closer to where Omar | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
Mateen lived? But now it has emerged he was a regular patron here and was | :04:54. | :05:00. | |
using a gay dating app. He used to come in the bar, on the weekends | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
sometimes, so he would be there sometimes, he would miss a couple of | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
weeks and then be in again. He was a regular, we consider that regular. | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
Irrespective of the motive, nothing changes the maths. 49 people dead | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
and many others with life affecting injuries. Jon Sopel, BBC News, | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
Orlando. President Obama has been speaking | :05:22. | :05:30. | |
today, meeting members of the National Security Council. He | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
reiterated this was being treated as a terror attack and also referred to | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
some of the rhetoric that has been put out there, in response to what | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
happened in Orlando, saying that the attempts to divide America would not | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
succeed and the kind of rhetoric he has been hearing is the kind of | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
thing that isolates the Muslim community. Of course, to add to what | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
the president said, we have also heard today from Angel Colon, as you | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
saw in the report and we also heard from the doctors who treated some of | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
those who survived here about their professionalism. Talking to people | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
in Orlando, they said what was exhibited on Saturday night, that | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
grim night in Orlando were the two side of humanity, some of the worst | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
sides and some of the bad in human beings, and they have been making it | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
clear to me that as far as they are concerned, it is the best bits of | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
humanity that will always prevail. Back to the studio. Clive, thank | :06:22. | :06:22. | |
you. Thousands of extra police | :06:23. | :06:24. | |
are being sent to the city of Lille in Northern France, | :06:25. | :06:26. | |
amid fears of renewed clashes between Russian | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
and England football fans. Today, European football's governing | :06:30. | :06:31. | |
body Uefa fined Russia and warned that their team will be disqualified | :06:32. | :06:33. | |
from Euro 2016 if there's any repeat of the violence seen at Saturday's | :06:34. | :06:40. | |
game against England. Our correspondent Danny | :06:41. | :06:42. | |
Savage is in Lille. A warning that his report contains | :06:43. | :06:44. | |
some violent scenes. This camera is strapped to a Russian | :06:45. | :06:51. | |
football thug, part of a gang In Marseille last weekend, | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
anybody who got in the way of them This is believed to be him, | :06:56. | :07:06. | |
the same distinctive shorts and you can see a camera | :07:07. | :07:15. | |
strapped to his waist. He was also caught by a news crew | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
at the same time, This man, Vladimir, | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
claims he was involved. He says his gang have waited ten | :07:23. | :07:28. | |
years for such a fight and the lack of intervention from the police | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
meant they could do anything. A huge security operation | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
is now underway in Lille where there are fears that Russian | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
hooligans are heading for another The level of violence was absolutely | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
unacceptable and they need How worried are you about them | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
turning up here in Lille? We have got to be concerned, | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
haven't we? Until they are dealt | :07:53. | :07:54. | |
with and arrested and put before a court, they will remain | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
a potential issue. Is there really people from Russia | :07:58. | :07:59. | |
coming to cause trouble? And because the hooligans | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
are still at large, England fans These guys could jump out of nowhere | :08:03. | :08:09. | |
and that is the single point Mainstream Russian supporters | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
believe the aggro isn't coming here. The way it was in Marseille, | :08:14. | :08:20. | |
it was a competition with ultras. Here, it is just pure | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
competition between the fans The ultras should be worried | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
that the national team might be disqualified or lose some points | :08:29. | :08:35. | |
maybe in this competition So I don't think there's any reason | :08:36. | :08:37. | |
for further trouble. There has been trouble | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
already here in Lille. These tables and chairs went | :08:42. | :08:43. | |
flying on Sunday night. There is talk of an alcohol ban | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
but bar owners here believe it will not apply to them | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
in the city centre. Their only concession is to serve | :08:52. | :08:53. | |
everything in plastic cups. Some bars will close but not | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
until midnight tomorrow. Russia will be out of this | :08:58. | :09:04. | |
competition if their fans cause any more trouble | :09:05. | :09:06. | |
in a stadium. The race is now on to stop some | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
supporters from getting anywhere Labour's intensified its attempts | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
to get party supporters to throw their weight behind a vote | :09:13. | :09:22. | |
to stay in the EU. Jeremy Corbyn claimed today a vote | :09:23. | :09:37. | |
to leave would wreck the NHS. The party's deputy, Tom Watson said a | :09:38. | :09:39. | |
future Labour government would have to do more to control immigration | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
from the EU and would have to listen to voters' concerned as Laura | :09:44. | :09:44. | |
Kuenssberg reports. If armies march on their stomachs, | :09:45. | :09:51. | |
right now, Labour needs plenty of fuel. From top to bottom, there is | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
panic that their supporters want out after record levels of immigration. | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
The deputy leader, who few would take, in a political fight, thinks | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
the party has to listen. -- take on in a. I've gone around the country | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
and I'm concerned that too many are saying they are sick of the Cameron | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
government and they are waiting Leave, I want to say to them, the | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
stakes are too high, if you vote to punish David Cameron in this retro | :10:19. | :10:20. | |
-- in this referendum, there is no comeback. In the last decade, I | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
would say that immigration has been the backdrop to every election we | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
have had in Britain. Wogan tied politicians that don't listen to | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
what voters tell them. What we have to reassure people of is that if | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
they vote to Remain on Thursday, 23rd of June, that is not the end of | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
the reform package for Europe. You know, I think a future Europe will | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
have to look at things like the free movement of labour rules. To be | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
clear, you are saying that Labour have to look at a way of controlling | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
freedom of movement? I think it's very likely that a Labour government | :10:56. | :10:58. | |
would want to reform the European Union and yes, if we get to the | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
general election in 2020, of course we would have to listen to our | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
voters. They are giving us a pretty clear signal in this referendum. The | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
campaign is hard going for Labour. Voters have been confused about | :11:12. | :11:17. | |
whether it is for In or Out. A hastily planned get-together with | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
union and party VIPs was meant to be Astro strength. -- a show of | :11:22. | :11:28. | |
strength. But curbing freedom of movement is not necessarily what | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
Jeremy Corbyn would support. The rest of the EU is unlikely to agree. | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
Nearly all of labour, though, does agree that you should vote to | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
Remain. From lands end to John O'Groats, from Norwich to North | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
Wales, we are making the case to remain. This feels like it has been | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
a last-minute scramble for the Labour Party. It has been. Despite | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
many voters' concerns about immigration, many MPs do believe | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
there are still enough undecided voters that this last-minute push | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
could make the difference. Labour wanted to talk about the NHS today. | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
A vote to Leave is a vote which will put the NHS in jeopardy, in the | :12:09. | :12:11. | |
hands of those who want to break it up. APPLAUSE | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
But the handful of Labour MPs who want out believe they have the | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
public's here. Labour's leadership cannot face up to the big issue, and | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
that is about immigration. This has been wonderful, this globalisation | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
moved round the world, for the rich. But if you are at the bottom of the | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
pile, you have paid the price. But many on the left believe exit would | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
be the far greater cost. The morning after the referendum, if we have | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
voted to leave, who's going to be happiest? Nigel Farage, Boris | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
Johnson and a resurgent Right that I think would spell disaster for the | :12:47. | :12:52. | |
trade union members I represent and working-class communities across the | :12:53. | :12:55. | |
UK. It is late but Labour is facing up to this difficult fight. This | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
party, as well as the government, is waiting to be judged. Laura | :13:00. | :13:00. | |
Kuenssberg, BBC News. Britain has won a European court | :13:01. | :13:02. | |
case upholding its right to withhold child benefit and tax credit | :13:03. | :13:17. | |
from some EU nationals. Remain campaigners say | :13:18. | :13:19. | |
the European Court of Justice ruling shows the UK can act to prevent | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
benefit tourism while staying But Vote Leave said it was "absurd" | :13:23. | :13:24. | |
that the UK had had to engage in lengthy legal battles | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
with the Luxembourg court. The Leave campaign has | :13:29. | :13:30. | |
insisted that sectors which currently receive EU funds, | :13:31. | :13:32. | |
such as farming and universities, won't lose out in the event of | :13:33. | :13:34. | |
a vote to leave the European Union. But their claims have been dismissed | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
as fantasy by Remain campaigners. Our deputy political editor | :13:39. | :13:41. | |
John Pienaar is here. Who is right? Every day, the Leave | :13:42. | :13:50. | |
side ministers are looking more like a government in exile. There's a | :13:51. | :13:52. | |
spending promise almost every day and today we are told that the | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
billions we sent Brussels, which comeback in grants and the like, | :13:57. | :13:59. | |
would keep on flowing even if we leave the European Union. That is | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
nearly ?6 billion for farms, culture, construction and science, | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
which they said would be paid directly. They have no authority to | :14:09. | :14:11. | |
make any spending promises. They are not the government and the | :14:12. | :14:14. | |
government policy is to Remain but they are saying it anyway. | :14:15. | :14:16. | |
We have been very clear today that those farmers, | :14:17. | :14:19. | |
universities, scientists, will not lose out when we choose | :14:20. | :14:21. | |
to vote Leave on June 23rd, and that we can spend the money that | :14:22. | :14:24. | |
currently goes to Brussels on them and on our priorities. | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
How can you promise what you are promising? | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
Our economy will grow when we leave Europe because of course | :14:33. | :14:38. | |
we will have new business opportunities, new | :14:39. | :14:40. | |
That is Priti Patel, who is obviously optimistic that the | :14:41. | :14:49. | |
economy would grow and not shrink if we left the European Union and so | :14:50. | :14:54. | |
are the Levers but many experts like the Institute for Fiscal Studies say | :14:55. | :14:57. | |
the weight of opinion is that the economy could slow down which could | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
mean if you do this, tax rises or spending cuts. That is their pitch. | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
The Remain campaign is calling it fantasy economics. I think healing | :15:07. | :15:09. | |
this rift in the government is going to be very, very tough now, whoever | :15:10. | :15:11. | |
wins. A man shot several times | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
in the Orlando nightclub killings has described how he played dead | :15:16. | :15:20. | |

in the next 15 minutes on BBC News, we will have the latest | :15:40. | :15:42. | |
from the home nations and also some action from the match | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
between Austria and Hungary. It's three years since | :15:48. | :15:58. | |
Reeva Steenkamp was shot dead by her boyfriend, | :15:59. | :16:00. | |
the athlete Oscar Pistorius. Today, for the first | :16:01. | :16:02. | |
time, her father spoke Barry Steenkamp was in tears | :16:03. | :16:04. | |

was overturned on appeal. Karen Allen reports | :16:21. | :16:22. | |
from the court in Pretoria. Oscar Pistorius may not | :16:23. | :16:24. | |
feel like a free man. A prison sentence still looms | :16:25. | :16:26. | |
but all eyes today were on Barry Steenkamp, | :16:27. | :16:28. | |
the father of Reeva, Looking fragile and still in poor | :16:29. | :16:30. | |
health, Mr Steenkamp delivered an emotional testimony, | :16:31. | :16:40. | |
telling the court he thinks of his daughter every | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
day, calls her name out Then, pausing for breath, | :16:45. | :16:46. | |

reaction to his words. Reeva's parents have been made | :17:14. | :17:19. | |
to believe that Oscar shot There has been no evidence accepted | :17:20. | :17:22. | |
by any of the courts to support this belief | :17:23. | :17:27. | |
despite prosecution's best efforts. It was three years ago | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
that the Paralympian fired four During the dramatic case | :17:32. | :17:35. | |
which followed, the athlete A year later it was converted | :17:36. | :17:40. | |

has revived some of the raw emotion He told the court he would | :17:47. | :17:49. | |
like to meet Oscar Pistorius He said he may have been forgiven | :17:50. | :17:56. | |

held hostage before the attacker And the French government is now | :18:24. | :18:26. | |
saying this was a terrorist attack? That's right, the interior minister | :18:27. | :18:42. | |
has called it an appalling terrorist act, the president has described it | :18:43. | :18:47. | |
as cowardly. It does have some of the hallmarks that we have seen here | :18:48. | :18:51. | |
before. This was apparently an individual attack which was followed | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
by a hostage situation and the attacker was then killed by police. | :18:56. | :19:01. | |
These kinds of so-called lone wolf attacks show the scale of the | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
security problem facing France. It is a country under a heavy state of | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
emergency with high security in many of its cities, partly because the | :19:11. | :19:17. | |
European Championships are on here this month and yet in this quiet | :19:18. | :19:20. | |
commuter town outside Paris comes this attack in a normal suburban | :19:21. | :19:23. | |
street. It really shows the diversity of the threat and also the | :19:24. | :19:27. | |
difficulty protecting France. Thank you. | :19:28. | :19:29. | |
Over the next week, we'll be gauging opinion from all around the UK. | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
We start in Cornwall - a county which receives hundreds | :19:35. | :19:36. | |
But as Martyn Oates, the BBC political editor | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
for the South West of England, has discovered, | :19:41. | :19:42. | |
that doesn't necessarily mean Cornish citizens | :19:43. | :19:43. | |
Known for sea, sand, pasties and Padstow, | :19:44. | :19:49. | |
Cornwall is officially defined by poverty which means it gets | :19:50. | :19:51. | |
Nowhere in England is bankrolled by the European Union the way | :19:52. | :19:58. | |
Cornwall is and it runs to hundreds of millions of pounds. | :19:59. | :20:04. | |
Hefty hand-outs include ?50 million for the iconic Eden Project, | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
?53 million to roll out superfast broadband and ?173 million | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
But Cornwall's economy remains on a par with Transylvania and it | :20:13. | :20:20. | |
doesn't get any poorer than this part of Penzance. | :20:21. | :20:26. | |
There is little sign of recovery on the Treneere Estate and not much | :20:27. | :20:29. | |
enthusiasm for Cornwall's benefactors in Brussels. | :20:30. | :20:32. | |
I am voting and it will be Out. | :20:33. | :20:34. | |
Because I think we would save an awful lot of money | :20:35. | :20:39. | |
We don't really need to be in the EU. | :20:40. | :20:42. | |
Right, I've got to go and get some electric. | :20:43. | :20:45. | |
At the estate's community kitchen, though, these volunteers are firmly | :20:46. | :20:48. | |
for Remain and say the county's EU funding is hugely important. | :20:49. | :20:55. | |
The local college is completely EU funded, I didn't know that, | :20:56. | :20:58. | |
And I wouldn't be there at the moment if it wasn't | :20:59. | :21:02. | |
I'm very aware that Cornwall has been a beneficiary | :21:03. | :21:06. | |
Many here feel they have been neglected by successive governments | :21:07. | :21:13. | |
in London but in this Penzance pub at least, | :21:14. | :21:16. | |
it doesn't seem to make the flow of EU money any more welcome. | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
So the British government doesn't invest in Cornwall, the EU does, | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
Well, I want to see, if we leave it, it can't get any worse | :21:25. | :21:31. | |
My gut instinct is Out because I think nobody is giving us | :21:32. | :21:37. | |
the information we need to know, it's all smoke and mirrors, people | :21:38. | :21:40. | |
It no longer the EU, it's the United States of Germany. | :21:41. | :21:47. | |
If Cornwall's complicated relationship with the EU tells us | :21:48. | :21:50. | |
anything, perhaps it's that money really can't buy you love. | :21:51. | :21:53. | |
Martyn Oates, BBC News, Penzance. | :21:54. | :21:58. | |
She was supposed to be even more unsinkable than the Titanic. | :21:59. | :22:05. | |
But, like her sister ship, she ended up at the bottom | :22:06. | :22:09. | |
of the sea after she was destroyed during the First World War off | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
100 years later, our correspondent Andrew Bomford has | :22:14. | :22:16. | |
been given exclusive access to her wreck. | :22:17. | :22:23. | |
120 metres down, on the Aegean seabed, a forgotten secret has been | :22:24. | :22:26. | |
Looming in the dark-blue depths is the grave of the gigantic ship | :22:27. | :22:34. | |
Britannic, Titanic's bigger and better sister, | :22:35. | :22:37. | |
Up above, on the ship U Boat Navigator, deep divers | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
At 400 feet down it is a challenging and dangerous dive. | :22:43. | :22:48. | |
Two state-of-the-art submersibles will join them in the deep | :22:49. | :22:51. | |
The divers call her the Everest of the dive world, the biggest ship | :22:52. | :22:56. | |
Can you imagine the ship crashing to the seabed, | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
We are 120 metres deep, the thing was longer than that, | :23:02. | :23:07. | |
so when it sank, the bow was hitting the seabed and the stern | :23:08. | :23:10. | |
Poking your head inside to have a look, lots | :23:11. | :23:13. | |
and lots of things, glassware intact, beautiful lamps inside, | :23:14. | :23:16. | |
Keeping watch is the British owner of the wreck, who bought it | :23:17. | :23:24. | |
It's a very unusual thing to say that you own a shipwreck. | :23:25. | :23:31. | |
It just draws people in and you are looking at a far | :23:32. | :23:37. | |
better preserved version of the Olympic class liners | :23:38. | :23:39. | |
Diving down in the submersible, the light slowly fades, | :23:40. | :23:42. | |
turning everything the deepest blue and then, out of the dark, | :23:43. | :23:45. | |
It's the most awe-inspiring sight I have ever seen. | :23:46. | :23:50. | |
This truly titanic sleeping beauty lying here on her side | :23:51. | :24:00. | |
But the detail - you can see everything, down here, | :24:01. | :24:10. | |
It's amazing, it's interesting, it's cool, it's dangerous. | :24:11. | :24:14. | |
Divers swim through a giant tear in the hull. | :24:15. | :24:16. | |
Now the divers are working into the entrance, | :24:17. | :24:18. | |
Britannic was a luxury liner refitted as a hospital ship | :24:19. | :24:24. | |
for the First World War Battle of Gallipoli when disaster struck. | :24:25. | :24:27. | |
But miraculously, unlike Titanic, only 30 people died. | :24:28. | :24:31. | |
Still down here are the handrails, glass windows, floor tiles, | :24:32. | :24:33. | |
Andrew Bomford, BBC News, Kea, in Greece. | :24:34. | :24:49. | |
Time now for a look at the weather. We have had some pretty dramatic | :24:50. | :24:56. | |
weather today, heavy downpours, thunderstorm that have led to flash | :24:57. | :25:02. | |
flooding in some areas. This is from the West Midlands Fire Service in | :25:03. | :25:06. | |
Birmingham and you can exceed the extent of the lying water and Flash | :25:07. | :25:10. | |
flooding and several areas have had similar scenes and we have also had | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
several of these funnel clouds. This was in Warwickshire. We will keep | :25:15. | :25:20. | |
those big storms heading to the evening particularly across much of | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
England and Wales where we have most of the storms. Some late brightness | :25:25. | :25:28. | |
in Northern Ireland and north-west England and overnight the rain will | :25:29. | :25:33. | |
move in across northern and eastern Scotland and further south, still | :25:34. | :25:36. | |
some heavy showers in parts of England and Wales. We start tomorrow | :25:37. | :25:41. | |
on a fairly cloudy note with another unsettled day and outbreaks of | :25:42. | :25:46. | |
persistent rain in northern and eastern Scotland, low cloud around | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
the east coast. Some brightness in Northern Ireland and north-west | :25:52. | :26:04. | |
England but further south those scattered showers will build through | :26:05. | :26:07. | |
the day, particularly in South Wales and the south-west of England where | :26:08. | :26:09. | |
they will be pretty heavy. There will be drier and brighter weather | :26:10. | :26:12. | |
in the south-east and some areas should stay dry, avoiding the | :26:13. | :26:13. | |
showers, particularly the far south-east and parts of north-west | :26:14. | :26:15. | |
England and Northern Ireland. But the rain comes in across Scotland | :26:16. | :26:18. | |
and there will be similar heavy downpours with hail and lightning | :26:19. | :26:24. | |
mixed in. 20 degrees or so between the showers. Thursday should be | :26:25. | :26:28. | |
another day of sunshine and scattered showers. Heavy showers in | :26:29. | :26:32. | |
England and Wales, more persistent rain in eastern parts of Scotland. | :26:33. | :26:37. | |
Things improved heading to the weekend but in the next few days | :26:38. | :26:40. | |
heavy downpours are likely to lead to further flooding. | :26:41. | :26:42. |
