What the British people voted for on the 23rd of June was to bring | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
some control into the movement of people | :00:18. | :00:19. | |
A points-based system does not give you that control. | :00:20. | :00:25. | |

Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six. | :01:01. | :01:25. | |
The Prime Minister has ruled out a points-based immigration | :01:26. | :01:37. | |
system for EU nationals, a central demand of the Brexit | :01:38. | :01:39. | |
campaign, saying it wouldn't control who comes in to the UK. | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
Speaking at the end of the G20 in China, Theresa May said | :01:43. | :01:44. | |
the summit had been a success and she had been pleased | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
by the willingness of countries such as Australia and India | :01:48. | :01:49. | |
From the city of Hangzhou, here's our Political Editor, | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
Red carpets get rolled up and put away. | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
And at the end of the Prime Minister's first big adventure | :01:57. | :01:58. | |
abroad, there are questions that will follow her home. | :01:59. | :02:05. | |
But despite wide concerns, there are some | :02:06. | :02:06. | |
Promises from a handful of countries who want to do business after | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
Good evening everybody, this has been my first G20 summit and the | :02:13. | :02:20. | |
first summit of the world's leading economies since the United Kingdom | :02:21. | :02:22. | |
What I've found pleasing and very useful in the discussions I've had | :02:23. | :02:32. | |
is their willingness to talk to us about opening up trade arrangements | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
between United Kingdom and a number of other countries. | :02:36. | :02:37. | |
Fewer answers, though, on controlling EU | :02:38. | :02:38. | |
It won't be with the system sold to the public during the | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
What the British people voted for on the 23rd of June was to | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
bring some control into the movement of people from the European Union | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
A points-based system does not give you that control. | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
More than two months after the | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
referendum, can you give our audience any idea of what you might | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
And, given that you were Home Secretary when | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
immigration climbed to record levels, why should people trust you | :03:08. | :03:09. | |
What the British people want to see is an element of control. | :03:10. | :03:18. | |
There are various ways in which you can do | :03:19. | :03:20. | |
But of course the work we are doing at the moment across | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
government is about looking at the sort of relationship that we want to | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
negotiate with the European Union, part of that is about the sort of | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
trade arrangements, part of it is about the sort of issues | :03:31. | :03:38. | |
we want to deal with in relation to free movement. | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
So we will be coming forward in due course with those | :03:42. | :03:43. | |
But this summit was about more than Brexit. | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
Not quite putting names to faces, but the Prime | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
Minister's induction to one of the world's | :03:52. | :03:52. | |
most exclusive clubs, full | :03:53. | :03:54. | |
of protocol and pressure, perhaps no more so than with China. | :03:55. | :04:01. | |
Theresa May says the relationship with the | :04:02. | :04:03. | |
summit host is about more than Hinkley Point, a proposed | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
nuclear power station built with Chinese billions. | :04:07. | :04:14. | |
And despite irritation with her decision to delay, tonight | :04:15. | :04:16. | |
But some relationships have been much more | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
Said the bonds between our two countries are | :04:23. | :04:32. | |
Firm friends already with the Australian leader, | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
with the promise on the table of a trade deal as soon | :04:36. | :04:37. | |
And a rather relaxed Indian leader too. | :04:38. | :04:44. | |
May and Modi both trying to get their first formal | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
This has not been an easy set of meetings for the | :04:48. | :04:56. | |
Alongside the grips and grins of the formal handshake | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
there's been warmth, but warnings too. | :05:02. | :05:02. | |
But Theresa May has shown she | :05:03. | :05:03. | |
wants to be a leader who does things in her own time and in her own way, | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
not bound by the promises of the referendum or of her | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
an impression and departs having done that, but | :05:12. | :05:22. | |
leaves only a few more clues on how Britain and the EU will say goodbye. | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
Laura Kuenssberg, BBC News, Hangzhou. | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
Back at Westminster, the Brexit Secretary David Davis has | :05:32. | :05:33. | |
been addressing MPs about getting the best solution for Britain | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
His opposite number in the Labour party said his statement contained | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
Our political correspondent Ben Wright was listening | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
They arrived back from their summer break by car, with bags, on foot. | :05:46. | :05:57. | |
The recently sacked and the freshly promoted. | :05:58. | :05:58. | |
Are we going to get more details today about what Brexit will really | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
I'm sure you'll hear a great deal of interest. | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
That's Liam Fox, the new Secretary of State for International Trade, | :06:06. | :06:07. | |
heading to the Commons to hear a statement | :06:08. | :06:09. | |
MPs were not expecting it to be a very long one. | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union. | :06:16. | :06:17. | |
Speaking to MPs for the first time, David Davis set out | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
There will be no attempt to stay in the EU by the back door, | :06:21. | :06:28. | |
no attempt to delay, frustrate or thwart the will | :06:29. | :06:30. | |
of the British people, no attempt to engineer a second | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
referendum because some people didn't like the first answer. | :06:37. | :06:38. | |
Mr Davis said the government would build a consensus | :06:39. | :06:40. | |
We will decide on our borders, our laws and the taxpayers' money. | :06:41. | :06:54. | |
It means getting the best deal for Britain, one that is unique | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
to Britain and not an off-the-shelf solution. | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
But MPs on the opposite side of the Commons asked... | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
You've had all summer, Secretary of State. | :07:04. | :07:10. | |
It has to be said, it is a mark of an irresponsible government | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
just as it was a mark of an irresponsible Leave campaign, | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
that we know nothing more about the phrase "Brexit means | :07:18. | :07:19. | |
It's just been more empty platitudes from a government that just | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
continues to make it up as it goes along. | :07:25. | :07:26. | |
And a leading Tory campaigner for Brexit wanted some guarantees. | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
That this United Kingdom will take control of its control | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
of its borders and the laws that are relevant to that and that is not | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
But at the moment all the government has is vague rhetoric. | :07:39. | :07:44. | |
The details about exactly when divorce talks with | :07:45. | :07:46. | |
the European Union will start and what a new relationship | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
will look like - that could take months, even years, | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
As MPs argued, a demand outside Parliament for the start | :07:53. | :07:59. | |
For the millions who voted for Brexit, impatience with the pace | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
Our Home Editor Mark Easton is here... | :08:05. | :08:18. | |
We had in that piece about taking control but of our borders when it | :08:19. | :08:24. | |
comes to immigration. We have heard what Theresa May says. We have heard | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
what she has ruled out, not so much what she has ruled in. Interesting | :08:29. | :08:35. | |
words coming out. Control of immigration, we just heard Iain | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
Duncan Smith in that report say, we don't want some control, we want | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
total control of our borders. I think the Prime Minister's cautious | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
phrasing represents the underlying problem of creating a prosperous | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
free-market economy open to inward investment, and in the global | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
trading where it can one at the same time introducing strict and | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
inevitably bureaucratic controls on who can and cannot come into the UK. | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
The government has rolled out a points-based system, some Brexit | :09:05. | :09:15. | |
supporters will say, I thought that was part of the deal. But the Prime | :09:16. | :09:17. | |
Minister says she is determined to reduce immigration levels. The | :09:18. | :09:19. | |
challenge is to find an effective system that will do that, give | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
people confidence at the same time but we've got control of our | :09:23. | :09:24. | |
borders. Visas, quotas, temporary work systems and schemes, all of | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
those have advantages but is the Prime Minister said today there is | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
no silver bullet. Mark, thanks very much. | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
New figures show the UK's services industry unexpectedly | :09:36. | :09:37. | |
bounced back last month, reducing the likelihood | :09:38. | :09:39. | |
Services account for nearly 80% of the UK economy but had | :09:40. | :09:46. | |
slumped in July after the vote to leave the European Union. | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
The return to growth for services follows signs | :09:50. | :09:51. | |
of recovery in manufacturing and construction too. | :09:52. | :09:52. | |
Here's our Economics Editor Kamal Ahmed. | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
Famous for its beer, less famous for voting Brexit by a healthy majority, | :09:57. | :10:03. | |
Southend, is seaside town with the ups and downs of the economy sharply | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
felt. Today the mood was pretty good. I think when you are generally | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
around confidence seems pretty high, people are in the shops, spending, | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
doing their normal thing but I know people in business and they are much | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
more cautious. Not as bad as we are all led to believe but again I think | :10:22. | :10:27. | |
it's early days yet. Early days, yes, but for the services sector the | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
largest part of the UK economy including restaurants and tourism | :10:32. | :10:41. | |
there has been a bounce back to growth after a gloomy July. But what | :10:42. | :10:43. | |
about those local businesses? I visited a sportswear form which | :10:44. | :10:45. | |
imports high end tennis gear from Portugal with a pound is not good | :10:46. | :10:48. | |
for prizes and I asked whether more generally Brexit had affected | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
economic confidence. I think it did feel our world was turned upside | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
down afterwards. The doom and gloom predicted, I don't think us up and | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
but there is a lot of uncertainty, I think, which is worrying for people. | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
We seem to be doing OK at the moment but how will that pan out of the | :11:06. | :11:11. | |
medium term? These figures are certainly positive. They showed the | :11:12. | :11:22. | |
fastest month increase for 20 years but I think a slight note of | :11:23. | :11:24. | |
caution, yes, there has been something of an economic bounce back | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
but still the prediction is that the UK economy will grow significantly | :11:28. | :11:29. | |
more slowly than it would have done if Britain had voted to remain in | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
the EU. Throughout the year, UK growth has been about far more than | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
Brexit. The year started slowly, growth at just 0.4% as fears of a | :11:40. | :11:45. | |
slowdown in China took hold. Of the year growth picked up 20.6% of the | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
economy strengthened. Now it is predicted that growth will fall to | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
0.1% in in the third quarter, uncertainty over the post-Brexit | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
future given as the reason. At the moment it is looking like we might | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
narrowly avoid a recession. We saw a steep downturn in July, we have had | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
a rebound in August which leaves an overall flat position. The sky has | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
resolutely not fallen in but dangers remain. There is evidence that | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
inflation is returning. Yes, a weaker pound helps exports but also | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
means imports are more expensive. The economy is likely to be on quite | :12:23. | :12:29. | |
confusing right as the full effects of the foot sink in. Kamal Ahmed, | :12:30. | :12:31. | |
BBC News. The economy and protecting local | :12:32. | :12:32. | |
jobs was one reason - according to voters in some parts | :12:33. | :12:35. | |
of the country - why they opted One such area was Stoke on Trent | :12:36. | :12:38. | |
where far more people turned out to vote in the referendum | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
than in the general election. Our Special Correspondent Ed Thomas | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
has been to meet some of them. Stoke, the city where the EU | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
referendum mattered far more This time I thought we had a chance | :12:50. | :12:51. | |
to actually make a difference. Here, nearly seven out | :12:52. | :12:59. | |
of ten voted to Leave. Have a bit of pride, | :13:00. | :13:06. | |
think, we can do it, But what happens now | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
for those who hope to remain? When I opened my TV and I see | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
"England out" I was What motivated so many to note? -- | :13:13. | :13:15. | |
what motivated so many to vote? This manufacturer is one | :13:16. | :13:22. | |
of Stoke's big employers. The order book is full | :13:23. | :13:24. | |
and they need more staff. The boss here wanted to stay | :13:25. | :13:26. | |
inside the EU but still many My children might have a chance now, | :13:27. | :13:29. | |
give them something new because as it's going, | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
it was going nowhere. Andy was so disillusioned he had | :13:33. | :13:35. | |
stopped voting until the referendum. That one vote meant | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
more to me than in any all it seemed to be in the general | :13:40. | :13:42. | |
elections was repeating yourself over and over again, | :13:43. | :13:45. | |
Conservative-Labour, This is something completely | :13:46. | :13:47. | |
different, this is a chance for the whole country | :13:48. | :13:52. | |
to hopefully move forward now. And across Stoke, many | :13:53. | :13:54. | |
told us the same story - the referendum was a chance | :13:55. | :13:57. | |
to be heard. I thought that if people like me | :13:58. | :14:03. | |
do vote, we could make in the end, it turned out, | :14:04. | :14:06. | |
people like me made a difference. With Dan there is optimism, | :14:07. | :14:11. | |
the sense of a new start. We survived thousands of years | :14:12. | :14:14. | |
until the EU took over and started dictating to us, | :14:15. | :14:16. | |
why can't we do it again? Then at least we've made that | :14:17. | :14:19. | |
decision and we can blame ourselves. I think it's a disaster | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
waiting to happen. But more than two months on, | :14:24. | :14:25. | |
there is still frustration The people here will say no, | :14:26. | :14:28. | |
they wanted change. That's incredibly unfair | :14:29. | :14:39. | |
to the people who voted to leave. No, if you talk to them, | :14:40. | :14:46. | |
I have a Burmese cleaner Some here blame the | :14:47. | :14:48. | |
European Union for changing Well, I just want to get back to how | :14:49. | :14:51. | |
we used to be, that's all. All the foreigners coming in, | :14:52. | :14:59. | |
that's what's changed everything. They seem to be taking over, | :15:00. | :15:08. | |
don't they, the schools and everything, I mean, | :15:09. | :15:10. | |
doctors, we've just been crossed off the doctor's register that we've | :15:11. | :15:15. | |
been on for 73 years Consider Georgetta and Iunela | :15:16. | :15:17. | |

paid the tax, so what's wrong There is uncertainty, | :15:42. | :15:45. | |
but Leave voices here and elsewhere expect to be heard, | :15:46. | :15:48. | |

Cullen's backroom staff. The junior doctors' strike | :16:39. | :16:46. | |
in England next week has been called off, | :16:47. | :16:47. | |
though the rest of the strikes due There had been concerns that | :16:48. | :16:50. | |
hospitals hadn't been given enough time to arrange emergency cover | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
and that patients would suffer. The British Medical Association has | :16:55. | :16:56. | |
called again on the Government not to impose a new junior | :16:57. | :17:06. | |
doctors' contract. It was set for a new escalation next | :17:07. | :17:15. | |
week, the junior doctor dispute bringing more strikes around | :17:16. | :17:18. | |
England. That now that action has been called off, after NHS chiefs | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
made clear there wasn't time to make contingency plans in hospitals. We | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
have called off a first planned industrial action due to take place | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
next week because we are responding reasonably to concerns raised by | :17:33. | :17:35. | |
hospital trusts that they need more time to prepare for this level of | :17:36. | :17:40. | |
industrial action. We wanted to keep patients safe and that is our first | :17:41. | :17:45. | |
and utmost priority. Earlier, the General medical Council, which | :17:46. | :17:48. | |
regulates the medical profession, had made clear its concern that only | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
12 days notice of next weeks strikes had been given. Our concern is the | :17:53. | :18:00. | |
degree of notice, there is a very high-risk of causing harm to | :18:01. | :18:04. | |
patients. But the BMA says strikes in October, November and December | :18:05. | :18:09. | |
will go ahead, with its campaign against new employment for junior | :18:10. | :18:14. | |
doctors continuing. On the Doctors's agenda, some items have been | :18:15. | :18:17. | |
resolved since previous strikes, such as preventing excessive hours. | :18:18. | :18:22. | |
At they say issues like weekend pay and provisions for women and | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
part-time doctors have not been resolved. A Department for health | :18:27. | :18:30. | |
spokesperson said that the public will be relieved that the BMA have | :18:31. | :18:34. | |
decided to call off this first phase of unprecedented strikes. "But If | :18:35. | :18:40. | |

Glasgow. A BBC investigation into Britain's | :21:11. | :21:17. | |
most hazardous nuclear plant has found a dangerously run-down site, | :21:18. | :21:19. | |
with too few workers Sellafield in Cumbria reprocesses | :21:20. | :21:21. | |
and stores most of Built in 1952, it's been running | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
for 64 years. Sellafield says the site is safe, | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
and has benefited from significant investment in recent years, | :21:32. | :21:35. | |
but BBC Panorama has found It is officially the most hazardous | :21:36. | :21:37. | |
nuclear site in the UK. You would expect safety | :21:38. | :21:48. | |
standards at Sellafield This man was a senior | :21:49. | :21:50. | |
manager at Sellafield. Were you ever worried | :21:51. | :21:59. | |
about what you saw? Ultimately, I think | :22:00. | :22:02. | |
something will happen there. There will be an emission, | :22:03. | :22:08. | |
or somebody will die. Panorama has seen hundreds | :22:09. | :22:11. | |
of internal documents and talked Sellafield has problems, | :22:12. | :22:13. | |
like with the infrastructure. An internal report in 2013 says | :22:14. | :22:21. | |
years of neglect has led And the site often operates | :22:22. | :22:23. | |
with too few staff on duty. In the last year, according | :22:24. | :22:32. | |
to Sellafield's own figures, at least once a week part | :22:33. | :22:38. | |
of the site has had fewer workers How dangerous is "below minimum | :22:39. | :22:41. | |
safety"? If you had an incident, | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
you would not be able So if something went | :22:48. | :22:50. | |
wrong, you couldn't Sellafield says the site | :22:51. | :22:53. | |
is still run safely, even when there are too few workers, | :22:54. | :22:57. | |
and it says there has been significant | :22:58. | :22:59. | |
investment in recent years. But some of the failures we have | :23:00. | :23:03. | |
found seemed pretty basic. We've discovered that liquid | :23:04. | :23:05. | |
containing radioactive plutonium and uranium has been left | :23:06. | :23:11. | |
in thousands of plastic bottles They've been there for years | :23:12. | :23:14. | |
in a laboratory fume cupboard. Sellafield says it has | :23:15. | :23:21. | |
been removing them. We've been working to get that | :23:22. | :23:27. | |
material into proper storage. This stuff should have been kept | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
in a very, very safe place, And it was placed in a plastic | :23:33. | :23:35. | |
container which was What does that tell us about the way | :23:36. | :23:38. | |
this place is run? It says that the organisation is now | :23:39. | :23:51. | |
focusing on putting right some under-investments of the past | :23:52. | :23:55. | |
in order to support the hazard Sellafield later told us that any | :23:56. | :23:57. | |
plutonium and uranium samples are kept securely, | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
and the site is safe. But what we found is a troubled | :24:02. | :24:03. | |

the French Alps are racing against time to extract samples | :24:19. | :24:21. | |
from what are some of the world's Temperatures in some parts | :24:22. | :24:24. | |
of the Alps have risen by one and half degrees | :24:25. | :24:27. | |
in the last ten years. The samples contain unique | :24:28. | :24:30. | |
information about the Earth's atmosphere in previous centuries, | :24:31. | :24:33. | |
which it's hoped will help provide clues in the fight | :24:34. | :24:35. | |
against global warming, Approaching a very high | :24:36. | :24:37. | |
altitude laboratory. This team of scientists | :24:38. | :24:46. | |
is living and working on the glacier here in the Alps, | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
because climate change is heating and changing the ice | :24:51. | :24:53. | |
that they are camped on. So the team wants to rescue | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
the information locked deep Snowfalls will collect | :24:58. | :25:00. | |
all the impurities in the atmosphere and this will be deposited | :25:01. | :25:07. | |
on the glacier. So all this information | :25:08. | :25:11. | |
is stored in the glacier, So when you look through this book, | :25:12. | :25:13. | |
you can read all this information. Tiny air bubbles locked | :25:14. | :25:19. | |
inside the layers of this glacier ice are a record of our past | :25:20. | :25:27. | |
atmosphere and climate. That is an icicle now coming up | :25:28. | :25:33. | |
from about 30 metres depth. The team will cut it | :25:34. | :25:36. | |
and they will move it into this and then they will store it | :25:37. | :25:39. | |
in their ice cave, So pressures are these samples | :25:40. | :25:41. | |
that the team have dug into the solid ice to build a store | :25:42. | :25:48. | |
room that will keep them cold. Six per box and then | :25:49. | :25:51. | |
they are ready to go? This is the beginning of a very long | :25:52. | :25:59. | |
journey for these ice cores. They will be stored here | :26:00. | :26:10. | |
in France for two years, but their ultimate destination | :26:11. | :26:12. | |
is the world's most reliable The idea of getting ice | :26:13. | :26:14. | |

full up nothing as chilly as that, I hope! | :27:02. | :27:03. | |
No, some warm weather on the way for much of the week ahead actually. | :27:04. | :27:10. | |
Temperatures on the up. Some sunshine pushing through the cloud | :27:11. | :27:14. | |
today. This was a scene in Cheshire taken by one of our weather watchers | :27:15. | :27:17. | |
earlier in the day. The satellite does show quite a lot of cloud | :27:18. | :27:22. | |
around the country. Northern Ireland ends the day with some sunshine, | :27:23. | :27:27. | |
also through eastern parts of Wales and the Midlands too. As we head | :27:28. | :27:30. | |
through this evening and overnight although most places are dry, there | :27:31. | :27:36. | |
is a fair amount of cloud. Some mist and fog patches across England and | :27:37. | :27:41. | |
Wales too. Certainly very mild. Another sticky night with overnight | :27:42. | :27:46. | |
lows falling note lower than 17-19d. Again quite a bit of cloud around on | :27:47. | :27:52. | |
Tuesday morning. It should start to break around England and Wales. A | :27:53. | :27:55. | |
little light rain on the weather front across parts of Scotland and | :27:56. | :27:59. | |
Northern Ireland but to the north of that, fresh air with some sunshine | :28:00. | :28:02. | |
in the North and north-east of Scotland. Temperature wise, high is | :28:03. | :28:07. | |
well above average for the time of year, between about 19 or 20 in the | :28:08. | :28:12. | |

slightly humid by Wednesday, and more sunshine breaking through the | :28:28. | :28:31. | |
cloud. Dry almost across the board but perhaps a bit of rain in the | :28:32. | :28:35. | |
Northwest. If we look at the temperatures, we will see | :28:36. | :28:38. | |
temperatures widely in the low 20s, towards the south or Southeast, 26 | :28:39. | :28:45. | |
or possibly 27 degrees. We may well be in our meteorological autumn, but | :28:46. | :28:48. | |
we have certainly got a taste of summer for the week ahead. | :28:49. | :28:51. | |
