This is BBC World News Today, with me, David Eades. Out with the old, | :00:13. | :00:18. | |
in with the new, as Britain expels Libya's remaining diplomats and say | :00:18. | :00:23. | |
that the rebel councillors the sole governmental authority. | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
We are inviting the National Transitional Council to appoint a | :00:25. | :00:30. | |
new diplomatic envoy to take over the embassy. | :00:30. | :00:35. | |
Learning the lessons while the pain persists - Norway's government | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
announces a commission to discover how the killings could have | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
happened. London makes a splash as it begins | :00:41. | :00:51. | |

:01:07. | :01:07. | ||
world in sound. Hello and welcome. The | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
international drive to remove Muammar Gaddafi from power has been | :01:10. | :01:15. | |
reinforced today. Britain has declared that the National | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
Transitional Council is the legitimate government authority. It | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
is expelling the remaining diplomats in London and a new | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
ambassador has been named. It is preparing to unfreeze millions of | :01:26. | :01:33. | |
pounds of Libyan assets. The rebels have turned the screw on Gaddafi. | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
They say they are no longer prepared to allow him to stay in | :01:35. | :01:42. | |
the country if he does stand down. The green flag of Colonel Gaddafi's | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
Libya. Today's moved to treat the rebels as the government is a | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
significant boost for them, Britain following the US and France in | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
intensifying the pressure on the regime. | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
We no longer read -- recognise them as the representatives of the | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
Libyan government and we invite the National Transitional Council to | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
appoint a new Libyan diplomatic envoy to take over the embassy in | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
London. Libya's Embassy in London is in | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
Knightsbridge. The ambassador was expelled in. Now the charge | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
d'affaires has three days to leave. Other diplomats must go as well and | :02:19. | :02:26. | |
Britain will unlock �91 million of assets from the Libyan oil | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
companies -- oil company. This is an important symbolic moment, | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
especially for the small group of rebel supporters who have come here | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
hoping to replace the flag of Colonel Gaddafi's regime with their | :02:38. | :02:44. | |
own. The question is what difference it will make underground. | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
Joining the demonstrators, a former financial adviser at the embassy, | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
who was sacked when he showed his support for the rebels. | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
Translation mack this is very positive. It is a psychological | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
boost. We will be able to use the fund to help the Libyan people and | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
hopefully this is just the beginning. | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
Colonel Gaddafi still commands support in Libya, particularly in | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
Tripoli, the capital. It is difficult to gauge how much in a | :03:13. | :03:19. | |
regime like his but increasingly the Benghazi based National | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
Transitional Council is being recognised internationally and the | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
political battle against the regime is heating up amid a military | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
stalemate. There are several front lines. Close to Brega, to the west | :03:31. | :03:37. | |
of Misrata, and to the West of Tripoli. But there has been no | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
decisive shift to give the rebels the momentum they need. They might | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
have been four months of Nato bombing, much longer than Britain | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
hoped Gaddafi would last. So instead it is turning up the | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
diplomatic pressure. The Government, under pressure itself under the | :03:54. | :04:00. | |
lead -- over the Libyan campaign. Let's get some more on this. We can | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
cross to our Oxford studio and speak to Oliver Miles, the former | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
British ambassador to Libya. Why do you think it has taken this long | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
for the government to follow suit after the Americans and the French | :04:13. | :04:20. | |
and others? I think William Hague partly explained that. I think | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
there are a number of reasons. The circumstances of each country are | :04:24. | :04:31. | |
different. One important Ewan was that the large number of Libyan | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
students in Britain who are dependent on money coming through | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
the embassy. It would have been wrong, I think, to have rushed to a | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
solution which would have left them without support. I have done | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
nothing wrong, they don't support - - don't deserve to lose their | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
support. William Hague said that he was pretty confident that the way | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
this has been handled means they will not suffer. You're looking | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
more at the practicalities of the decision rather than a strategic | :05:03. | :05:11. | |
move? Yes, the two are not really to be separated. It has its | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
symbolic importance of course and it is all part of a movement to | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
increase the pressure on Gaddafi. There were to decisions taken by | :05:20. | :05:28. | |
the British government today. -- two. If you can sift out two points | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
from the quite long presentation that William Hague gave, one was | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
the decision to recognise the National Transitional Council as | :05:34. | :05:41. | |
the only legitimate authority in Libya, which is new. Previously | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
they were recognised as legitimate but not the only legitimate | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
authority. Secondly, the decision to dismiss from Britain the | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
remaining diplomats in the Libyan embassy. Neither of those are | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
tremendously important in themselves but taken together with | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
other actions we have been taking and our allies have been taking | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
they are increasing the pressure. We are talking about four months | :06:05. | :06:10. | |
after the bombing campaign began. Are you surprised by what some | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
people would say is how little has been achieved? No. I think that | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
anybody who thought this matter could be settled by air power was | :06:18. | :06:24. | |
deceiving himself. There are very strong reasons for thinking it | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
would be difficult and it would take time. Nobody could tell how | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
long it would take. What was interested to see that William | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
Hague was emphasising not only that we can't predict how long it will | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
take but also that we will go on as long as it takes, and I think that | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
is an important political point as well as being true, I imagine. But | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
it increases the pressure -- the idea that the military pressure is | :06:47. | :06:53. | |
not going to go away. Transparency, openness, and a | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
commission to investigate how Norway's nightmare happened. If | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
that is the message the Prime Mr Jens Stoltenberg delivered today. | :07:00. | :07:06. | |
He said the country would not be intimidated by Friday's killings. | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
Police continue fit -- to search for people reported missing after | :07:09. | :07:19. | |
the shooting on the motorway or Ireland. -- b Utoeya Island. | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
Norway's bomb squad. Abandoned suitcase has been spotted and the | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
bus is empty. It was harmless but Norwegians are haunted by what | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
happened five days ago. This was the moment last Friday when a | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
massive car-bomb launched a massacre. Anders Breivik went on to | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
shoot scores of young people on the island of Utoeya. They were | :07:41. | :07:47. | |
supporters of the governing Labour Camp -- Labour Party. More | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
survivors told their stories today. Was there a time when you thought | :07:50. | :07:59. | |
you would not have -- survive? Are you through the worst? I think | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
the worst of it will be to know all of the names of people who are dead. | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
It will be hard to go to the funerals, to meet the families, and | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
I think it will be hard to one day wake up and realise that we have to | :08:12. | :08:20. | |
get back to light, back to work and try to function as normal. | :08:20. | :08:26. | |
This woman was lucky. She left the island two hours before the | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
shootings. She wants to stress her pride in Norway's multiculturalism | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
and the tolerance that Breivik wanted to destroy. | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
My story tells a lot about the opportunities that Norway gives to | :08:38. | :08:44. | |
all youngsters. Including Muslims? Yes. In how many other countries | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
can you be the daughter of immigrants and become a | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
parliamentary servant at the age of 28. In Oslo, the buildings scarred | :08:55. | :09:01. | |
by the bombing started to be patched up but Norway's collective | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
sense of shock is still profound. The physical damage will take | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
months to prepare. The government is warning that some buildings will | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
have to be demolished but of course it is the psychological damage that | :09:12. | :09:18. | |
is of far greater concern. But most Norwegians seem certain that it is | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
their strong shared values that will get them through the difficult | :09:22. | :09:32. | |
:09:32. | :09:33. | ||
days and weeks to come. We can go to Oslo live now and | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
speak to Mohammad Usman Rana, a Muslim commentator. We heard that | :09:37. | :09:42. | |
Norway is the land of opportunity for all sorts of backgrounds. Has | :09:42. | :09:52. | |
:09:52. | :09:55. | ||
this change to Norway for you? -- changed. No. Norway will not change | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
with its multiculturalism and unique openness. Norwegians are | :09:59. | :10:06. | |
very certain that we can't change our openness, we can't change our | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
liberal state and we will try to preserve that. When you first heard | :10:11. | :10:18. | |
of this appalling event, did you have a sense of anxiety that people | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
would start, at least symbolically, pointing the finger at you and | :10:22. | :10:32. | |
:10:32. | :10:32. | ||
other Muslims in the country? think the terrorist attack is | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
serious and devastating for Norwegians independent of whether | :10:36. | :10:45. | |
it was a Muslim extremist or her right wing extremists, but of | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
course, since this was an attack committed by a Norwegian extremist, | :10:50. | :10:57. | |
this emphasises that terrorists do not have religion and that | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
Norwegians have to unify. Actually, be positive outcome of this | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
terrorist attack is that we Norwegians stand even more united. | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
I just wondered if you feel in any way that Norway has perhaps | :11:10. | :11:16. | |
perversely paid the price here for being... You have described it as a | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
well-functioning multicultural society. Perhaps it is that ability | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
to bring everybody else into the community that in this case has | :11:23. | :11:32. | |
cost it dear. Yes, I mean, Norway compared to other European | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
countries is a very well- functioning multicultural society. | :11:35. | :11:40. | |
We do not have get the widest neighbour heard lights you have in | :11:40. | :11:46. | |
London and Bradford. - Matt Giteau neighbourhoods. -- ghetto | :11:46. | :11:56. | |
neighbourhoods. What is important now is to analyse what radicalised | :11:56. | :12:01. | |
this not -- young Norwegian to become a terrorist, exactly like | :12:01. | :12:06. | |
Muslims have to examine how some Muslim terrorists misuse Islam to | :12:06. | :12:13. | |
commit terrorism we also have to examine why some right-wing | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
extremists, where they get their ideology from and what made them | :12:18. | :12:23. | |
radicalised. I am sure there will be a long period of analysis. Thank | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
you very much. Let's take a look at some of the | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
day's other news. Reports from Syria say that security forces have | :12:31. | :12:36. | |
launched an attack on a town near Damascus. Troops reinforced by | :12:36. | :12:43. | |
tanks killed at least 11 civilians in Kay, activists say. -- in | :12:43. | :12:48. | |
Kanaker. A suicide bomber has killed the | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
mayor of the southern Afghan city of Kandahar. Ghulam Haidar Hameedi | :12:52. | :12:57. | |
was meeting tribal elders when he died. A spokesman for the Taliban | :12:57. | :12:59. | |
said that they carried out the attack. | :12:59. | :13:04. | |
Police in China say they have rescued 89 kidnapped babies during | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
operations to break up child smuggling gangs. The police told | :13:07. | :13:12. | |
state media that they had arrested more than 100 people in southern | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
provinces on suspicion of trafficking baby girls. The report | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
said some of the babies had been brought into China from Vietnam. | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
Torrential rain described as the worst in a century has triggered | :13:25. | :13:30. | |
landslides in South Korea, killing at least 28 people. Worst hit was | :13:30. | :13:37. | |
the northern city of Chuncheon. Buildings were hit by a torrent of | :13:37. | :13:42. | |
mud and debris. Parts of the capital were also flooded. | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
The Arab Spring protests in Yemen have left the country in political | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
you -- political limbo. President Ali Abdullah Saleh was badly burned | :13:50. | :13:55. | |
in a bomb attack last month and is recuperating in Saudi Arabia. | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
Political opponents say that the President refuses to enter into | :13:59. | :14:05. | |
negotiations for political change. Now, look at the country's | :14:05. | :14:10. | |
political impasse. Army tanks are regular sight on the | :14:10. | :14:15. | |
streets in Yemen. These elite forces in Taiz have been battling | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
with opposition protesters. The President, President Ali Abdullah | :14:18. | :14:23. | |
Saleh, has not been in the country for weeks. His palace became a | :14:23. | :14:28. | |
battle zone in June and he was airlifted to Saudi Arabia for | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
medical treatment for serious burns. This picture of him was broadcast | :14:31. | :14:37. | |
on Yemen -- Yemeni television three weeks ago. The country has been in | :14:37. | :14:42. | |
political stalemate since he left. Before his departure, Western | :14:42. | :14:44. | |
governments had been pressurising the President to sign a plan to | :14:44. | :14:50. | |
hand over power but he backed out of signing three times. | :14:51. | :14:56. | |
TRANSLATION: there is political will with a large number of leaders | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
and they are what -- are aware that the situation has worsened so much | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
that the people can't tolerate these conditions. | :15:03. | :15:09. | |
A militants associated with Crewe have been ramping up their efforts | :15:09. | :15:18. | |
in the south. -- with Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. Opponents | :15:18. | :15:23. | |
see it as a ploy to convince foreign governments that only the | :15:24. | :15:31. | |
government can deal with the militants. Both its -- it seems | :15:31. | :15:35. | |
that the calls of the opponents to change are being ignored, with | :15:35. | :15:44. | |
I'm now joined here in the studio by the Yemeni foreign minister, Dr | :15:44. | :15:51. | |
Abu Bakr Al-Qirbi. How close are you to dialogue with the opposition | :15:51. | :16:00. | |
now? The we have already started the dialogue, by the Vice President | :16:00. | :16:07. | |
and some leaders of the opposition, some representatives of the joint | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
meeting parties. Or two about the transitional council? We are | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
looking at this situation where there is a pre- requisite here that | :16:14. | :16:19. | |
the president accepts he can no longer hold office, and that still | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
will not happen. I'd been the President has already declared that | :16:23. | :16:31. | |
he is not going to run for election for a second time, that his son | :16:31. | :16:41. | |
will also not run. That clearly is not enough, though, is it. This is | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
the response of the President. It cannot go every day and changing | :16:44. | :16:49. | |
demands. I think people now have Bisset and agree on a road map for | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
a transition that will lead to the transfer of power. The but it is | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
fair to say, isn't it, that what built up to the President being | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
bred in his own presidential palace, albeit whether we call it tribal | :17:01. | :17:06. | |
rivalries or whatever, was a real conflagration of violence in the | :17:06. | :17:10. | |
capital, and the President was at the heart of it. He has moved out | :17:10. | :17:16. | |
and things have calmed down. think they have calmed down because | :17:16. | :17:21. | |
the President's first instructions after the attack on his life, and | :17:21. | :17:28. | |
also the lives of many leaders of the government, this was really a | :17:28. | :17:36. | |
terrorist attack, I think. You cannot look at it as part of the | :17:36. | :17:42. | |
political situation in Yemen. This is a terrorist attack. And one has | :17:42. | :17:45. | |
to wait for the results of the investigation and see who is | :17:45. | :17:49. | |
responsible for it. Let me ask you this. You have acknowledged that | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
the President says he will not stand again. How important is the | :17:52. | :17:57. | |
President now for the future of the country? He is important to see | :17:57. | :18:01. | |
that there is a proper and safe transition of power in Yemen. | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
yet that will not happen as long as he is there, according to many of | :18:05. | :18:10. | |
the opposition. This is one part of the story. On the other side, I | :18:10. | :18:16. | |
think the ruling party says his presence will allow for a use for | :18:16. | :18:20. | |
transfer of power, because he is not running. He has already acted, | :18:20. | :18:26. | |
I think, with the greatest responsibility after that attempt | :18:26. | :18:30. | |
on his life. He has ordered that there should be no revenge, that | :18:30. | :18:35. | |
they should be no actions that will lead to a civil war. I think he has | :18:35. | :18:39. | |
also had eight operations, so he is clearly not a man in great shape. | :18:39. | :18:45. | |
The UN Secretary General's envoy has said this is a country close to | :18:45. | :18:51. | |
collapse. Would you go along with that? I think the country faces a | :18:51. | :18:56. | |
very serious political crisis, yes. I think the collapse will depend on | :18:56. | :19:01. | |
how the opposition and the Government take full responsibility | :19:01. | :19:04. | |
in addressing the challenges of getting in and out of this crisis. | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
Thank you very much. It's not true of every Olympic | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
Games that the venues are put on display a year ahead of schedule. | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
But London is putting on a show already - such is the confidence | :19:14. | :19:17. | |
here that everything is running to plan. Babita Sharma is at the | :19:17. | :19:24. | |
Aquatic Centre in the Olympic Park for us. | :19:24. | :19:28. | |
Thank you. The show is faring much under way here. Welcome to east | :19:28. | :19:32. | |
London. I'm inside the Aquatics Centre, which has been the | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
centrepiece of what has been happening here today, marking a | :19:35. | :19:41. | |
year to go to the false start of the opening ceremony of the London | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
2012 Olympics. It is a very impressive building. It is one of | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
pride -- five permanent venues that have actually been completed today. | :19:49. | :19:55. | |
One man who got a taste for the pool was the British medal hope for | :19:55. | :19:59. | |
diver Tom Daley, who within the last 10 minutes also took to the | :19:59. | :20:03. | |
top of the diving board to acknowledge the crowd surrounding | :20:03. | :20:11. | |
him as he took that dive. A very iconic moment, he described it for | :20:11. | :20:19. | |
himself and an historic moment for the young 17-year-old. This houses | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
some 17,005 unexpected as who will come here to the capital to watch | :20:23. | :20:28. | |
the events. It is interesting. Many people have been talking about the | :20:28. | :20:32. | |
legacy of the London 2012 Olympics. We don't know what I will be | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
perhaps and in many years to come and will we know the true extent of | :20:35. | :20:38. | |
how these games will be remembered. But our correspondent has been | :20:38. | :20:44. | |
looking at the legacy of the Beijing Olympics in 2008. | :20:44. | :20:48. | |
We are here at the Bird's Nest Stadium, which is a symbol of what | :20:48. | :20:54. | |
would -- what was a hugely successful Olympic Games. Beijing | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
spent $14 billion according to some estimates. That is far more than | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
London is spending. We're just going to go inside not speak to a | :21:02. | :21:06. | |
top Chinese official about the preparations which the City took in | :21:06. | :21:12. | |
order to host what is a massive event. A year ahead of the Olympics | :21:12. | :21:22. | |
:21:22. | :21:22. | ||
here in Beijing, where were you at? TRANSLATION: At that time, we held | :21:22. | :21:27. | |
the one year can dance ceremony in Tiananmen Square. It is a crucial | :21:27. | :21:32. | |
time. The Kop, of course, is ticking. The key issue is making | :21:32. | :21:40. | |
sure that every deadline is met. -- the key issue. Do you have any tips | :21:40. | :21:50. | |
:21:50. | :21:51. | ||
or advice for London? Make sure that the Olympics complement the | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
city's development. When we built the new infrastructure for the | :21:54. | :22:02. | |
Olympics, it improved everybody's standard of living. | :22:02. | :22:07. | |
Just ahead of the Olympics, Beijing went on a building binge. But it | :22:07. | :22:11. | |
wasn't a sports venues. It was subway lines and airport terminal, | :22:11. | :22:17. | |
roads and railways. It was all designed to keep a city on the move | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
and an Olympic Games running like clockwork. But three years after | :22:20. | :22:25. | |
the event was held, what is the legacy? When with one of China's | :22:25. | :22:31. | |
best-known sports commentators, Yan Qiang. What did the game has been | :22:31. | :22:36. | |
to China? It was a door opening event out that time, the first | :22:36. | :22:40. | |
real-time that modern China had opened its doors to the world and | :22:40. | :22:45. | |
show what we were about. How is the legacy a different one -- from what | :22:45. | :22:50. | |
is expected to be the legacy in London? I would say Beijing 2008 | :22:50. | :23:00. | |
:23:00. | :23:00. | ||
might be the last mega Olympics in history. In London, it is according | :23:00. | :23:04. | |
to have the ability of the city. In Beijing, it was about national | :23:04. | :23:08. | |
confidence. Ever since the end of the Olympics, the Water Cube has | :23:08. | :23:16. | |
proved a huge success story. But with water flying and life banneds, | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
it was always going to be a draw. The Olympics in London are going to | :23:20. | :23:24. | |
be very different from the ones here. But people here hope that one | :23:24. | :23:29. | |
thing remains the same, that is that at the end of the Olympics, | :23:29. | :23:38. | |
China has won the most gold medals. The IOC president Jacques Rogge has | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
formally welcomed the world's athletes to the London 2012 Olympic | :23:42. | :23:45. | |
Games and celebrations will continue in Trafalgar Square and | :23:45. | :23:50. | |
here at the Aquatics Centre in east London. Back to you. | :23:50. | :24:00. | |

Exciting stuff. Thank you. The setting could not have been | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
more English - the Proms at London's Royal Albert Hall. But the | :24:05. | :24:08. | |
music at The Human Planet Prom was very international. The concert, | :24:08. | :24:10. | |
aimed at celebrating the universal appeal of music, included | :24:10. | :24:13. | |
performers from Mongolia, Greenland and Zambia. David Hannah was at the | :24:13. | :24:19. | |
rehearsals. Music, universal language for the | :24:19. | :24:23. | |
globe. That was the idea behind a unique Prom concert at the Royal | :24:23. | :24:27. | |
Albert Hall. The inspiration came from a BBC Tullett -- a television | :24:27. | :24:37. | |
programme, The Human Planet, with music composed by Nitin Sawhney. It | :24:37. | :24:47. | |
:24:47. | :24:47. | ||
underlined the fusion of music around the globe and YouTube. | :24:47. | :24:51. | |

exchange that is not really about Musicians were invited from around | :25:12. | :25:15. | |
the world. Some had never left their own countries, but they have | :25:15. | :25:23. | |
much in common despite differing musical cultures. I compose my own | :25:23. | :25:29. | |
music out of my tradition. If I see an event, I can compose a song | :25:29. | :25:36. | |
about what I see. Anything I see around. If Lacey people fighting, | :25:36. | :25:42. | |
ask them why they are fighting and I compose a song. If I close my | :25:42. | :25:49. | |
eyes and hear music from Mongolia, I'm feeling at home because I am | :25:49. | :25:56. | |
feeling something in my heart. These musicians from Mongolia are | :25:56. | :26:06. | |

is what Mesic is added to never disappoints. Today we have certain | :26:27. | :26:34. | |

brought to the heart of London. Hello. Yet again, today some of us | :27:00. | :27:04. | |
have warm sunshine, but for others it was a little bit cloudy. | :27:04. | :27:07. | |
Tomorrow, it is really the cloud which will dominate first thing in | :27:07. | :27:10. | |
the morning. We have also got a weather front to contend with | :27:10. | :27:13. | |
tomorrow with a bit of rain around. You will start to see the weather | :27:13. | :27:17. | |
system moving in to the north and west overnight. Ahead of that, it | :27:17. | :27:21. | |
is good to stay dry, and with all the cloud not a particularly cold | :27:21. | :27:24. | |
start to Thursday morning. There would be some bricks across parts | :27:24. | :27:28. | |
of England and Wales ahead of the front. After a bright start across | :27:28. | :27:32. | |
northern England, think we will see a bit patchy rain arriving in | :27:32. | :27:36. | |
Newcastle. Parts of the East Midlands staying dry and bright and | :27:36. | :27:41. | |
a much warmer day in London. A cloudy a day in store for south- | :27:41. | :27:44. | |
west England. Temperatures as a result perhaps a few degrees down. | :27:44. | :27:48. | |
But there will be some sunny spells at times. Across Wales, does much | :27:48. | :27:52. | |
more overcast. We may even see a bit of patchy light rain or drizzle | :27:52. | :27:56. | |
especially across the higher ground. For Northern Ireland, after a bit | :27:56. | :27:59. | |
of a damp start, we will start to see some sunny spells through the | :27:59. | :28:03. | |
afternoon towards the north and west. But through Belfast, it will | :28:03. | :28:07. | |
be cooler and cloudier. A much cooler day for Glasgow and towards | :28:07. | :28:10. | |
Edinburgh. But I think up towards the Highlands, we will see some | :28:10. | :28:13. |
