This is BBC World News Today with me Zeinab Badawi. Could it really | :00:10. | :00:15. | |
be the end game this time in Libya? Reports of talks between the two | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
sides in the conflict in Tunisia and a senior Libyan minister goes | :00:18. | :00:28. | |
Rebels claim they've taken two key towns and cut a vital supply route | :00:28. | :00:33. | |
to the capital Tripoli. A society in moral collapse, so | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
says David Cameron after last week's riots in England. We ask, | :00:36. | :00:44. | |
how broken is Britain? This must be a wake-up call for our | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
country. Social problems that have been festering for decades have | :00:47. | :00:51. | |
exploded in our face. A shock shake-up for the mobile | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
phone industry. Internet giant Google buys Motorola Mobility for | :00:54. | :01:03. | |
$12.5 billion. Tough talk in Malawi as the | :01:03. | :01:13. | |

president tries to prevent more anti-government protests. We are | :01:15. | :01:21. | |
concerned about injustice. A message that spans generations. | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
The son of Nigerian musician and activist Fela Kuti tells us why his | :01:25. | :01:34. | |
Hello and welcome. Colonel Gaddafi has in the past 24 hours urged | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
Libyans to free the country from what he called traitors as rebels | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
began to tighten the noose on a major lifeline to Tripoli. | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
According to social network sites, talks have been taking place | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
between pro and anti Gaddafi forces in neighbouring Tunisia. And | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
Egyptian officials confirmed that the Libyan Interior Minister had | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
arrived in Cairo with several members of his family in what could | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
be a defection. Diplomatic to end the fighting appear to have been | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
set aside. Talks between the two sites have been taken place in the | :02:01. | :02:08. | |
tree is sent out of Djerba. -- had been taking place in the Tunisian | :02:08. | :02:14. | |
town of Djerba. Matthew Price reports from Tripoli. | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
The power cuts are taking their toll. Tripoli is starting to feel | :02:18. | :02:27. | |
like a city under pressure. This family show me their certificates. | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
I am ready to take up a gun, to defend my country and Colonel | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
Gaddafi who has done so much good for us. | :02:34. | :02:40. | |
A outside, Gaddafi's agents were on alert. As we left, we and our | :02:40. | :02:47. | |
government minders were stopped. The took are there the -- the took | :02:47. | :02:54. | |
our Libyan permits. This checkpoint is manned by local people. There | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
are similar checkpoints right the way across Tripoli during the night. | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
It is not normal, it is because of the war. It is a sign of the | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
tensions in the Libyan capital just now. This has only increased the | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
tension. 30 miles to the West, rebel forces are celebrating an | :03:13. | :03:19. | |
advance on so we are. The opposition feels the momentum is | :03:19. | :03:26. | |
finally with them. -- Zawiya. But how much are they hold and how long | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
they can hold it for is unclear. Libyan a state television showed | :03:31. | :03:40. | |
that -- showed crowds cheering as Colonel Gaddafi addressed them. He | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
called on her supporters to prepare for the fight, cleanse the country | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
he said, the blood of martyrs will fuel the battle. Out in the | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
desolate housing estates of eastern Tripoli, the mood was different. | :03:54. | :04:01. | |
They were worried about our cameras so be blurred the pictures. Gaddafi, | :04:01. | :04:08. | |
no. This man told me Colonel Gaddafi must go. Listen to this | :04:08. | :04:18. | |
:04:18. | :04:19. | ||
man's anger. We hate Gaddafi here. Everyone hates them. The rebels are | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
closer to Tripoli than ever. The army will fight back. This war may | :04:24. | :04:34. | |
:04:34. | :04:36. | ||
So after six months and to-ing and fro-ing, it seems the momentum is | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
now with the rebels and they claim the net is drawing closer around | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
Colonel Gaddafi. The crisis began six months ago, when rebels took | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
control of several cities, including Libya's second city | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
Benghazi. Soon after they declared themselves the sole representative | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
of Libya and were first recognised by France. The UN authorised | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
military action to protect civilians. French, US and British | :04:58. | :05:03. | |
forces carry out air strikes against government forces. | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
As NATO takes over formal control of military operations the conflict | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
is dominated by advance and retreat battles between the rebels, mainly | :05:09. | :05:16. | |
in the east, and Gaddafi forces in the west. | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
The stalemate continues with four months of fighting as the two sides | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
trade control of the coastal towns of Ras Lanuf, Brega, Bin Jawad, | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
Ajdabiya and Misrata. The rebels now say they have taken | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
the towns of Gharyan and Zawiyah near Tripoli, cutting a key supply | :05:30. | :05:37. | |
route for Gaddafi's forces. With me now from Washington is | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
Libya expert Mary-Jane Deeb. She's authored two books on the country | :05:40. | :05:48. | |
and is currently writing a book on the Arab Spring. | :05:48. | :05:54. | |
Would you hazard a guess, is it the end game this time? I am not sure | :05:54. | :06:00. | |
if it is the endgame, but there are certainly, the rebels are certainly | :06:00. | :06:06. | |
gaining momentum and moving forward. I know it has been going back and | :06:06. | :06:16. | |
forth, but Tripoli has never been more vulnerable than it is today. | :06:16. | :06:24. | |
What about these talks that apparently are going on in Tunisia | :06:24. | :06:34. | |
:06:34. | :06:36. | ||
between the two side? The talks have to deal with his use of | :06:36. | :06:44. | |
withdrawal, of compromise -- with issues of withdrawal, of compromise. | :06:44. | :06:50. | |
But the end game it will be on the ground, militarily. What about this | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
possible defection, the Libyan Interior Minister going to Cairo | :06:55. | :07:01. | |
with nine members of his family are? It would suggest a possible | :07:01. | :07:11. | |
:07:11. | :07:11. | ||
defection. There has been significant defections. Remember | :07:11. | :07:17. | |
the man who left for England early on? Ambassadors of the around | :07:17. | :07:27. | |
Europe have defected as well. -- ambassadors at throughout Europe. | :07:27. | :07:35. | |
Yes, gradually a -- gradually, people are seeing the rioting on | :07:35. | :07:44. | |
the wall and leaving Colonel Gaddafi. And how will the pressure | :07:44. | :07:54. | |
:07:54. | :07:54. | ||
be renewed on Gaddafi? At this point, despite the fact that the | :07:54. | :08:00. | |
rebels are much stronger and better organised and have fought for six | :08:00. | :08:08. | |
months, and so have no more experience, they still be the cover | :08:08. | :08:18. | |
:08:18. | :08:20. | ||
of NATO. -- at the still need the cover. | :08:20. | :08:28. | |
A broken society, an Asian -- this nation is a moral collapse. That is | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
how the Prime Minister David Cameron described Britain. He | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
promised tough action to prevent of last week's rioting in England. | :08:36. | :08:42. | |
Social problems have been festering for decades. Today, just as people | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
wanted criminals robustly confronted on our streets, they | :08:45. | :08:51. | |
want to see these social problems are taken on and defeated. We must | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
have a social fight back. We must fight back against the attitudes | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
and assumptions that have brought parts of our society to this | :08:58. | :09:03. | |
shocking state. We know what has gone wrong, do we have the | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
determination to put it right? Do we have the determination to | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
confront the slow-motion moral collapse that has taken place in | :09:10. | :09:16. | |
parts of our country? Irresponsibility, selfishness, | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
behaving as if you choices have no consequences, children without | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
fathers, rights without responsibilities, reward without | :09:25. | :09:35. | |
:09:35. | :09:36. | ||
effort, crime without punishment, communities left a vulnerable. | :09:37. | :09:43. | |
leader of the Labour Party was also speaking today. He accused David | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
Cameron of making a knee-jerk response to the rights. Instant and | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
simple judgement and response to the sorts of event bring bad | :09:51. | :09:59. | |
solutions. The public says that we want quick action, but a knee-jerk | :09:59. | :10:05. | |
gimmicks that have not been thought through, will not solve the problem. | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
Let's be honest about the politician's instincts. Appoint an | :10:10. | :10:20. | |
:10:20. | :10:21. | ||
year adviser, -- appoint a new adviser. We have heard about water | :10:21. | :10:31. | |
:10:31. | :10:31. | ||
canons, Super cops, a delay knock at the door for gangs. His modern | :10:31. | :10:41. | |
:10:41. | :10:41. | ||
Britain and a broken society, and what can be done about it? Joining | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
us from North Yorkshire via webcam is author and former vicar GP | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
Taylor. With me is Nick Wilkie from London Youth. | :10:47. | :10:53. | |
Are the social issues that have to be dealt with properly? I think | :10:53. | :11:00. | |
that the person who has got this right is David Cameron. He is | :11:00. | :11:05. | |
looking at society with a big over you. Ed Miliband is trying to score | :11:05. | :11:12. | |
points. I am seeing agree sea- change in our young people in this | :11:12. | :11:19. | |
country. -- a great sea-change. They are being influenced by it | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
things coming at them from other countries. Especially the gangster | :11:23. | :11:31. | |
culture from America. It is making deep inroads in how they relate to | :11:31. | :11:39. | |
people in their communities. They are literally changing. I have seen | :11:39. | :11:45. | |
it as a policeman. From around 1987 when corporal punishment was | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
stopped in schools, I have seen the change in the behaviour of young | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
people to the situation we are in today. I have been in the front | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
line in riots. I was involved in the Brixton riots because there | :11:58. | :12:05. | |
were happening around my house. And I do feel we are going through a | :12:05. | :12:13. | |
period, not a complete at Moro -- not of complete moral decline, but | :12:13. | :12:20. | |
a falling away from moral purpose. You heard that, is he right? Does | :12:20. | :12:28. | |
that sound like modern Britain to you? At the risk of sounding | :12:28. | :12:33. | |
irritating and platitudinous, there is a risk that people say broadly | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
the same things will trying to disagree. Clearly, some things have | :12:37. | :12:42. | |
gone badly wrong. In part, that is about individuals making wrong | :12:42. | :12:52. | |
:12:52. | :12:52. | ||
choices. I am very open to the idea that there is a decline in the | :12:52. | :13:02. | |
community, in family. These things are all true. But is this just | :13:02. | :13:08. | |
about young people? Politicians fiddling expenses, is it all part | :13:08. | :13:14. | |
of a wider decline? What we have seen in the last week has not been | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
perpetrated by all young people. I think it is true that behaviour has | :13:18. | :13:23. | |
declined in a variety of ways across society. We have to be | :13:23. | :13:30. | |
careful of harking back to a golden age will probably never was. But | :13:30. | :13:35. | |
the idea of being hard on perpetrators, that is in no we | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
intention to with the idea that we took listened calmly and with | :13:39. | :13:47. | |
humility to have committees feel -- to how communities fail. So things | :13:47. | :13:57. | |
:13:57. | :13:57. | ||
like cutting benefits and evicting people who have done wrong? If your | :13:57. | :14:04. | |
a teenager has been rioting, is it sensible to kick their younger | :14:04. | :14:11. | |
siblings out of the home? It does not seem a sensible. How do you | :14:11. | :14:21. | |
deal with it? Is a victim families the right thing to do? I do not | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
think evicting people from social housing is the right thing. What | :14:26. | :14:29. | |
David Cameron has to do is to start to go to the people that really | :14:29. | :14:39. | |
:14:39. | :14:40. | ||
matter. He should be going to the father of one of those young men | :14:40. | :14:50. | |
:14:50. | :14:52. | ||
killed in Birmingham. He talk sense this weekend. -- he talked for his | :14:52. | :15:02. | |
:15:02. | :15:03. | ||
committee. -- community. People want to see safe in their houses. | :15:03. | :15:07. | |
They want to see discipline returning to schools. They want | :15:07. | :15:11. | |
respect from young people. They want young people to take a full | :15:11. | :15:16. | |
part in their own communities. We left and a wonderful community and | :15:16. | :15:25. | |
What do you think the Government should do? They should listen | :15:25. | :15:30. | |
calmly. It is true behaviours need to be tackled. It is also true | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
colleagues who work directly with gangs, and who I work with on a | :15:34. | :15:41. | |
day-to-day basis, their greatest weapons against gang culture is | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
education and opportunities. Now a look at some of the days | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
other news. A series of bomb attacks have hit | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
cities across Iraq killing more than 60 people. The worst was in | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
the city of Kut. It's the worst violence since Iraqi politicians | :15:54. | :15:57. | |
said they'd hold negotiations over whether a small number of US troops | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
might stay on after the deadline for their departure at the end of | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
the year. The former Egyptian president, | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
Hosni Mubarak, has appeared in court in Cairo again to face | :16:06. | :16:08. | |
charges of corruption and ordering the killing of hundreds of | :16:08. | :16:13. | |
protesters in the uprising earlier this year. Mr Mubarak was brought | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
in, in a hospital bed and placed inside a cage in the dock. He was | :16:17. | :16:22. | |
accompanied by his two sons. The judge has now adjourned the hearing | :16:22. | :16:25. | |
for three weeks and ruled that proceedings will no longer be | :16:25. | :16:28. | |
televised. At least 200 tonnes of oil may have | :16:28. | :16:31. | |
leaked into the North Sea off Scotland following an oil spill | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
from a ruptured pipeline last week. Shell says the leak, which took | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
place 112 miles east of Aberdeen, is a significant spill in the | :16:38. | :16:48. | |
:16:48. | :16:52. | ||
context of the North Sea but believes it is under control. | :16:52. | :16:55. | |
Google, the company famous for its internet search engine shocked the | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
technology industry today by paying $12.5 billion in cash for the phone | :16:58. | :17:00. | |
company Motorola Mobility. Now Google can design both the software | :17:00. | :17:04. | |
and phones that run it - something its rival Apple has already done to | :17:04. | :17:06. | |
its advantage with the iPhone. Our technology correspondent Rory | :17:06. | :17:15. | |
Cellan Jones reports. It was the company that produced | :17:15. | :17:20. | |
the world's first modern mobile phone, but Motorola's glory days | :17:20. | :17:25. | |
are gone, its phones overtaken by the likes of Apple and Samsung. Now | :17:25. | :17:30. | |
it is part of Google which is becoming the fastest growing force | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
in the mobile world. Its Android operating system powers more smart | :17:35. | :17:41. | |
phones than any other software. Motorola is just one among many | :17:41. | :17:46. | |
manufacturers who depend upon it. Android is also used on tablets | :17:46. | :17:51. | |
computers. Now, Google is making itself a force in hardware as well | :17:51. | :17:56. | |
as software, just like its great rival. At the moment, Apple can | :17:56. | :18:00. | |
come up with an idea, it can build it, make the software and sell it | :18:00. | :18:05. | |
in its own retail stores. If Google can emulate the same model, it | :18:05. | :18:09. | |
doesn't have to go at side the family and talk to a third party to | :18:09. | :18:14. | |
get something done. Motorola might only have a tiny share of the | :18:15. | :18:19. | |
handset market, but Google has its eye on something different. | :18:19. | :18:24. | |
huge stock of paint since the company has accumulated. They have | :18:24. | :18:29. | |
become a vital weapon in the battle for supremacy in the mobile market. | :18:29. | :18:37. | |
Last month, patterns going back years from Nortel was snapped up by | :18:37. | :18:43. | |
Apple, Microsoft and the owners of blackberry. Google lost out in the | :18:43. | :18:48. | |
auction and made it clear today acquiring Motorola will help Dick | :18:48. | :18:53. | |
Shaw up its defences in the battle for mobile phone supremacy. While | :18:53. | :18:58. | |
Android has raced to the top of the mobile phone League, Apple makes | :18:58. | :19:04. | |
more from its mobile phone. Google has changed the landscape and its | :19:04. | :19:08. | |
rivals will be watching nervously to see what happens next. | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
The southern African state of Malawi has been experiencing the | :19:11. | :19:13. | |
kind of protests most latterly associated with the Arab street. | :19:13. | :19:16. | |
Opponents of the President Bingu Wa Mutharika have given him an | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
ultimatum to address their concerns or they've said they'll carry out a | :19:19. | :19:22. | |
nationwide protest on Wednesday. They're calling for an improvement | :19:22. | :19:27. | |
in the standard of living and human rights. Last month 19 people were | :19:27. | :19:30. | |
killed when police opened fire after days of protests. Bilkisu | :19:30. | :19:32. | |
Labaran from the BBC's African Service reports now on the problems | :19:32. | :19:42. | |

An for this housewife, the daily struggle of fetching water is | :19:49. | :19:51. | |
nothing compared to feeding her family. | :19:51. | :20:00. | |
She lives on just $2 a day and so do 90% of the population. The | :20:00. | :20:04. | |
economy is driven by agriculture. Food here is bound to fall, but for | :20:04. | :20:10. | |
nearly a decade, prices have risen at an average of 11% annually. Many | :20:11. | :20:14. | |
people can barely afford the food they sell and produce and the | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
people blame it all on mismanagement by the Government of | :20:18. | :20:27. | |
Bingu wa Mutharika. The frustration finally boiled over when hundreds | :20:27. | :20:31. | |
of anti-government demonstrators poured out onto the streets of the | :20:31. | :20:36. | |
country's major cities last month. They demanded the resignation of | :20:36. | :20:40. | |
the President. But the Government's response was heavy handed. Anti- | :20:40. | :20:46. | |
riot police quashed the protests. By the time calm was restored, at | :20:46. | :20:53. | |
least 18 people had been killed. The President was democratically | :20:53. | :20:58. | |
elected in 2004 with 36% of the vote. A former World Bank economist | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
he was credited with stabilising inflation. But his second term has | :21:02. | :21:07. | |
been troubled, as the economy tumbles his rule became more | :21:07. | :21:16. | |
autocratic. He wanted to run in a democracy, a | :21:16. | :21:23. | |
type of regime. An authoritarian Government style. That has made the | :21:23. | :21:27. | |
people angry. The international community has reacted swiftly to | :21:27. | :21:34. | |
the President's clampdown. The UK, US or the you have all either cut | :21:34. | :21:40. | |
direct aid to Malawi or delayed it. Bum The Lowry relies heavily on | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
foreign aid and it accounts for more than 40% of the Government's | :21:43. | :21:50. | |
income. We are in a situation with our partner countries, we expect | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
them to stay to their commitments, Democratic rights and good | :21:53. | :21:57. | |
governance. In the events of 20th July were protesters were fired | :21:57. | :22:03. | |
upon, Media was restricted and it is in direct contradiction to the | :22:03. | :22:07. | |
principles we expect them to uphold. At the Malawi High Commission in | :22:07. | :22:11. | |
London, there is very little diplomatic activity. Three months | :22:11. | :22:15. | |
ago the British High Commissioner to allow a accused of President | :22:15. | :22:20. | |
Bingu wa Mutharika of being autocratic, combative and | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
intolerance of criticism. The diplomatic tit-for-tat expulsions | :22:24. | :22:32. | |
that followed have pushed relations to near breaking point. But, with | :22:32. | :22:37. | |
the President of remaining defiant, and the International stalemate, | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
the future could be difficult. The late Nigerian signer, Fela Kuti, | :22:40. | :22:44. | |
was one of Africa's most colourful and influential musicians. He | :22:44. | :22:49. | |
pioneered the infectious Afrobeat sound in the 1970s. He was also a | :22:49. | :22:51. | |
political icon in Nigeria, where he fought against government | :22:51. | :22:55. | |
corruption. For the last three years, his life has been depicted | :22:55. | :23:01. | |
in a hugely popular show on Broadway, in London and in Lagos. | :23:01. | :23:04. | |
Fela's son, Femi Kuti, who's a musician himself, has been in the | :23:04. | :23:07. | |
UK for the latest run of the musical at the Sadler's Wells | :23:07. | :23:17. | |
:23:17. | :23:20. | ||
theatre. Kathy Harcombe went to meet him. | :23:20. | :23:25. | |
He never compromised the truth. He stood no matter what. Mysore him | :23:25. | :23:31. | |
many times, say to the police, shoot me, kill me. I was scared, | :23:31. | :23:41. | |
:23:41. | :23:45. | ||
and they could not understand why he got the courage to say "kill me". | :23:45. | :23:50. | |
Your father paid a high price for his beliefs, he was arrested 200 | :23:50. | :23:55. | |
times? Jailed several times, do you think it was worth it? Yes, it is | :23:55. | :24:01. | |
about mankind. It is about freedom of speech, about justice. It is | :24:01. | :24:07. | |
against corruption. It is about the ills of what governments do to | :24:07. | :24:13. | |
their people. So, the bigger picture wasn't about my father, he | :24:13. | :24:18. | |
is just one of the many fighters that has given people like me the | :24:18. | :24:25. | |
courage to stand firm and not compromise the truth. For this, I | :24:26. | :24:35. | |
:24:36. | :24:41. | ||
am proud my father never compromised. How did you feel when | :24:41. | :24:46. | |
you first saw it on Broadway? could not stop crying, it took me | :24:46. | :24:52. | |
back I was so impressed. I went on stage and I thank them. I thank | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
them so many times and I keep thanking them. At that time I felt | :24:55. | :25:05. | |
very lonely. When I saw the play it opened up so many avenues. This | :25:05. | :25:15. | |
:25:15. | :25:16. | ||
battle is not lost. In America,, I have been doing this for five years | :25:16. | :25:23. | |
and I am taking it all over the world. When it came to Nigeria, I | :25:23. | :25:29. | |
think that it was the biggest achievement. On this fight, the | :25:29. | :25:35. | |
struggle, it was a slap on the face of the Nigerian authorities. The | :25:35. | :25:41. | |
same people who are running for presidency of one of the four from | :25:41. | :25:49. | |
fighters in the PDP, all of the same political bigwigs are still on | :25:49. | :25:58. | |
the political scene. -- front runners. What they have achieved in | :25:59. | :26:03. | |
14 years Democratic rule, we still have no electricity, Nigeria is | :26:03. | :26:07. | |
still poor. We cannot give our children a good education, | :26:07. | :26:17. | |
:26:17. | :26:20. | ||
education is only for the very, very rich. I never get frustrated | :26:20. | :26:25. | |
telling the story about my father because I love my father. I loved | :26:25. | :26:30. | |
my father very much. I cannot explain how much I love and how | :26:30. | :26:35. | |
much I am proud of my father. It is my duty to give this information to | :26:35. | :26:41. | |
the best, as truthful as possible, to be as sincere as possible, no | :26:41. | :26:47. | |
Fabrications, for the truth. Well that's all from the programme. | :26:47. | :26:51. | |
Next the weather, but for now from me, Zeinab Badawi, and the rest of | :26:51. | :27:01. | |

Much of the UK got away with a dry start. But it is a different day | :27:07. | :27:11. | |
tomorrow. Cloudier compared with today and it is because of this low | :27:12. | :27:16. | |
pressure. The weather front is with it as it continues north-east | :27:16. | :27:20. | |
across the UK during Tuesday. The heaviest of the rain will be | :27:20. | :27:27. | |
focused on Scotland, but elsewhere under cloudy skies, patchy rain and | :27:27. | :27:33. | |
drizzle is possible. The North East England, given a few breaks in the | :27:33. | :27:37. | |
cloud there may be some sharp showers in the afternoons. East | :27:37. | :27:41. | |
Anglia and the South East, a few glimpses of some are possible, but | :27:41. | :27:46. | |
it is cloudy and breezy with a passing drizzle from time to time. | :27:46. | :27:52. | |
Similar picture into the south-west. Poor visibility into the hills. For | :27:52. | :27:56. | |
Northern Ireland, there will be an improvement, gradually turning | :27:56. | :28:01. | |
brighter. Sunshine edging in from the West. The eastern side last to | :28:01. | :28:05. | |
see that. It may improve into south-west Scotland were elsewhere | :28:05. | :28:09. | |
it is cloudy. This band of rain advancing across the North East in | :28:09. | :28:16. |
