:03:39. > :03:43.visiting church groups and learning about local issues. One of the
:03:44. > :03:46.things that has struck me as the sense of community here, and the way
:03:47. > :03:51.people are pulling together. And the way all the churches in the town
:03:52. > :03:55.have got together to meet the needs of the town. On the issue of

:04:10. > :04:14.dignity. The issues are immdnsely complicated that you are referring
:04:15. > :04:16.to. What I know is that the churches are working around the world to
:04:17. > :04:22.tackle the source of these problems. I was in Sudan in January. To bring
:04:23. > :04:26.the possibilities of reconchliation so that people do not have that
:04:27. > :04:31.desperate need which drives them to such extreme measures. The

:06:20. > :06:23.sharply, and for many of us, we are looking at a touch of frost. The
:06:24. > :06:26.satellite picture tells a story nicely. This belt of cloud is
:06:27. > :06:31.sitting in the far north-west of Scotland, we have had this cloud
:06:32. > :06:34.bubbling up across eastern areas and with the northerly wind it has felt
:06:35. > :06:37.cold in East Anglia. That cloud is going to melt away, we will get an
:06:38. > :06:40.easterly breeze picking the cloud back in again later in the night in
:06:41. > :06:44.eastern areas and we still have this cloud and rain in the far north west
:06:45. > :06:48.of Scotland, but for most we will have clear sky, light wind, Ness are
