:00:14. > :00:17.This is BBC World News Today. With me, Zeinab Badawi. A public inquiry

:00:17. > :00:25.condemns the appalling violence carried out by British soldiers

:00:25. > :00:28.that led to the death of an Iraqi civilian in 2003. My judgment is

:00:28. > :00:34.that they constituted appalling effort and -- episode of serious,

:00:34. > :00:37.gratuitous violence on civilians. President Medvedev condemns

:00:37. > :00:43.Russia's air safety record after Wednesday's plane crash which

:00:43. > :00:48.killed most members of a top ice hockey team. Guilty, the British

:00:48. > :00:53.designer John Galliano was fined 6,000 euros for making anti-Semitic

:00:53. > :00:56.remarks during a drunken outburst in Paris. Could the famine in

:00:56. > :01:01.Somalia help end the conflict between the interim government and

:01:01. > :01:06.the militant Al-Shabab group? The country's Prime Minister offers an

:01:06. > :01:11.olive branch. Everybody who wants to talk to has come as big with us,

:01:11. > :01:15.joiners, save Somalia from itself, we will talk to them. And the two

:01:15. > :01:25.million-year-old fossils that could overturn conventional thinking on

:01:25. > :01:32.

:01:32. > :01:36.Hello, welcome. The death of Baha Mousa was one of the most appalling

:01:36. > :01:42.incidents of abuse by Western soldiers during the Iraq War. The

:01:42. > :01:44.young Iraqi hotel worker died after sustaining 93 external wounds

:01:44. > :01:49.whilst he was in the custody of British troops in the southern city

:01:49. > :01:53.of Basra. The language used by an independent public inquiry here was

:01:53. > :01:56.blunt. It said, his death had left a great stain on Britain's armed

:01:56. > :02:02.forces. Our world affairs correspondent Caroline Hawley has

:02:02. > :02:07.this report. In a makeshift detention facility

:02:07. > :02:11.eight years ago a killing that cast a shadow over the army's reputation.

:02:11. > :02:16.Baha Mousa had just lost his wife to cancer when he was detained by

:02:16. > :02:21.British troops. Over the next 36 hours he and nine other detainees

:02:21. > :02:28.were hooded, forced into painful positions and badly beaten. When

:02:28. > :02:34.Baha Mousa died he had 93 separate injuries. My judgment is that it

:02:34. > :02:37.constituted an appalling episode of serious, gratuitous violence on

:02:37. > :02:46.civilians which resulted in the death of one man and injuries to

:02:46. > :02:50.others. They represented a very serious breach of discipline.

:02:50. > :02:54.Footage from the detention facility shows Corporal Donald Payne

:02:54. > :02:59.shouting obscenities at the Iraqis. He is the only man to have been

:02:59. > :03:04.punished in any way for what happened here. The use of pudding

:03:04. > :03:09.and stress positions are against international law and had been

:03:09. > :03:13.banned by the British government in 1972 -- hoods. It was an Army major

:03:13. > :03:16.that instructed the soldiers to use them. The inquiry heard it was

:03:16. > :03:21.standard operating procedure. The report blamed they use on a

:03:21. > :03:24.corporate failure that the Ministry of Defence. It said that stress

:03:24. > :03:28.positions and hoods were wholly unacceptable in any circumstances.

:03:28. > :03:32.It also found that many soldiers had a sort of the Iraqis, even more

:03:32. > :03:37.had failed to intervene. There had been, it said, a lack of moral

:03:37. > :03:40.courage. It is clearly a truly shocking and appalling incident.

:03:40. > :03:44.Pictured not have happened. It should never be allowed to happen

:03:44. > :03:49.again. -- it should not have happened. The British Army should

:03:49. > :03:52.uphold the highest standards. inquiry found that Major Michael

:03:52. > :03:56.Peebles had news that detainees had been assaulted. He is accused of an

:03:56. > :03:59.acceptable failure. It said that if Lieutenant Craig Rodgers had acted

:03:59. > :04:04.when he first knew what was happening, Baha Mousa would almost

:04:04. > :04:07.certainly have survived. It found that the commander of the Regiment,

:04:07. > :04:10.Colonel Jorge Mendonca, ought to have known what was going on. And

:04:11. > :04:16.that Corporal Payne was a violent Paul Leigh who tried to cover up

:04:16. > :04:18.what he had done. No doubt the Director of Public Prosecutions and

:04:18. > :04:22.the Director of Public Service prosecutions are reading the report

:04:22. > :04:26.and they will be considering the war crimes of torture, inhumane

:04:26. > :04:30.treatment and submitting people to grossly humiliating behaviour.

:04:30. > :04:37.There is a number of people who have every reason to be very, very

:04:37. > :04:47.worried. Back in the Middle East family still grieving. Baha Mousa's

:04:47. > :04:49.

:04:49. > :04:54.father had to identify his son's body. In my heart I love Baha Mousa.

:04:54. > :04:58.He was a good son. Baha Mousa's two children are now growing up without

:04:58. > :05:04.a father. Today, the soldier who tried to resuscitate him expressed

:05:04. > :05:09.deep remorse. I could not say in enough words how sorry but only for

:05:09. > :05:13.myself but for those that were involved in his death, whether you

:05:13. > :05:19.hit him or you did not hit him, you have your responsibility for his

:05:19. > :05:22.desk that day. Baha Mousa is buried in Iraq's holiest city. Today's

:05:22. > :05:30.reporting to his death is a big step towards accountability but the

:05:30. > :05:35.scandal over what happened to him has not yet been laid to rest.

:05:35. > :05:38.The death of Mark -- of Baha Mousa was one of several examples of

:05:38. > :05:43.prisoner reduce by foreign troops during the past decade since the

:05:43. > :05:47.September 11th attacks. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and detention

:05:47. > :05:52.centre with the US in Guantanamo Bay have led to many criticisms of

:05:52. > :05:54.human rights abuses. Kurt Volker is a former US ambassador to NATO and

:05:54. > :06:00.also served in the Bush Administration and joins us from

:06:00. > :06:05.Washington. Kurt Volker, how far do you think George Bush's war on

:06:05. > :06:10.terror created a kind of climate whereby this kind of incident might

:06:10. > :06:15.have happened more recently, more readily? You know, I think it is

:06:16. > :06:21.wrong to blame it on a climate. I think when you look at the

:06:21. > :06:24.inquiry's report, he made a very clear. About the rules and

:06:25. > :06:28.procedures that are allowable and what are not allowable and making

:06:28. > :06:32.sure that is well known in advance and part of the training that will

:06:32. > :06:36.just get. We put soldiers and were very difficult climate, in a war-

:06:36. > :06:41.zone, they are there to conduct combat, people were trying to kill

:06:41. > :06:44.them. It is extremely stressful and they are asked to make decisions on

:06:44. > :06:48.a split second sometimes. A very difficult environment to be in.

:06:48. > :06:52.That is why it is so important they have clear routes -- rules and when

:06:52. > :06:55.abuses do happen, as we have had from American and British forces,

:06:55. > :06:58.it is important they be investigated and dealt with

:06:58. > :07:02.appropriately, but the key thing is to make sure the rules are clear.

:07:02. > :07:06.Just looking at the wider picture, ten years since the September 11th

:07:06. > :07:10.attacks, we did see in the war on terror things like detention

:07:10. > :07:15.without trial, you have the accusations of rendition,

:07:15. > :07:19.extraordinary rendition, the invasion of Iraq was illegal by

:07:19. > :07:23.make people's standards and so this kind of climate is not conducive

:07:23. > :07:27.necessarily to do the observance of civil liberties, if that is what

:07:27. > :07:31.the politicians are saying at the time? A think it is very important

:07:31. > :07:36.to get the legal frameworks right and did we have not yet done this.

:07:36. > :07:39.You have a gap between what is domestic criminal justice systems

:07:39. > :07:43.and protection of civil -- civil liberties and so forth, and you

:07:43. > :07:47.have an area where you are talking about the laws of armed conflict

:07:47. > :07:51.and war, and you're talking about terrorist groups, suicide bombers,

:07:51. > :07:56.Al-Qaeda, who do not follow the laws of war, do not belong to a

:07:56. > :08:01.state, do not wear uniforms, so we are forced into a grey area of how

:08:01. > :08:05.you deal with these situations. We have picked up people, held them as

:08:05. > :08:08.combatants in a conflict, in a normal war you would hold them to

:08:08. > :08:11.the end of the conflict, this is not a normal ward and we are not

:08:11. > :08:17.comfortable saying we will hold people forever but we don't know

:08:17. > :08:22.issues, there is ambiguity about treatment, certainly in the British

:08:22. > :08:25.cases we have heard, also true in American cases, where we have a

:08:25. > :08:30.clear prohibition against torture, where that line was drawn in terms

:08:30. > :08:34.of what is a tough interrogation officers what is more physical

:08:34. > :08:40.abuse, was not a clear line. That has since been clarified and the US

:08:40. > :08:43.system but I do think... You are talking there about the enhancing -

:08:43. > :08:48.- the enhanced Territt -- interrogation techniques, such as

:08:48. > :08:52.waterboarding, which some people call torture. Do you think the

:08:52. > :08:56.policies that we did see in the war on terror have actually resulted

:08:56. > :09:00.now in making the world a safer place? I think in a number of ways

:09:00. > :09:06.they have forced up in a number of ways we have seen terrible results

:09:06. > :09:10.at the same time. Life happens in the world. We have significantly

:09:10. > :09:14.weakened Al-Qaeda. Iraq now has a better government than it had under

:09:14. > :09:20.Saddam per se. It has suffered tremendously through a civil war

:09:20. > :09:23.however. You see people in the Arab world, the Muslim world, rise up to

:09:23. > :09:28.demand rights from the Rhone leaders in ways that was not the

:09:28. > :09:31.case before. They are being squeezed between this trap of on

:09:31. > :09:36.the one hand being accused of being Islamist terrorists come on the

:09:36. > :09:39.other hand seeing these harsh dictatorial regimes in their rent

:09:40. > :09:43.societies finally caused people to come out to say we demand better

:09:43. > :09:46.rights and freedoms in our own countries. I do think we are seeing

:09:46. > :09:51.in the Arab world right now one of the most hopeful things that we are

:09:51. > :09:56.seeing in this decade. Ambassador Kurt Volker, thank you for joining

:09:56. > :10:01.us from Washington. Now the other main use. NATO forces

:10:02. > :10:05.in Afghanistan have admitted that a BBC reporter killed in a July in

:10:05. > :10:11.the south of the country was shot dead by a US soldier who was took

:10:11. > :10:15.him for a suicide bomber. -- Mr Kim. Ahmed Omed Khpulwak was caught up

:10:15. > :10:19.in a suicide attack. Initial reports suggested he was killed by

:10:19. > :10:22.the Taleban. A group of 20 medical staff in

:10:22. > :10:25.Bahrain, charged with incitement to overthrow the government earlier

:10:25. > :10:29.this year, have been released on bail. They were the last of 47

:10:29. > :10:33.staff at the main hospital in the capital Manama who had been accused

:10:33. > :10:37.of harbouring extremists and concealing weapons. Their families

:10:37. > :10:42.say they were tortured into making confessions.

:10:42. > :10:45.The Russian President Dmitri Medvedev says they must be so swift

:10:45. > :10:50.action to improve aviation safety after a plane crash that killed

:10:50. > :10:54.most members of one of Russia's top hockey teams -- ice hockey teams.

:10:54. > :10:58.The players from Lokomotiv Yaroslavl were killed when their

:10:58. > :11:02.plane failed to take off on Wednesday. President Medvedev said

:11:02. > :11:04.the number of Russian bear characters -- carriers must be

:11:04. > :11:11.reduced radically. Steve Rosenberg reports.

:11:12. > :11:17.In the river to Russia are to search continued into the morning,

:11:17. > :11:21.for survivors but wreckage of the plane and bodies. Dmitri Medvedev

:11:21. > :11:26.had been due here for a political conference but he began his day

:11:26. > :11:30.here. At the sight of the air crash he laid roses and bowed his head in

:11:31. > :11:34.honour of the dead. Later President Medvedev criticised the safety

:11:34. > :11:37.record of Russian airlines. He warned that if his country could

:11:37. > :11:43.not produce reliable aircraft it would have to buy foreign aid

:11:43. > :11:51.planes. The Yak-42 jet had crashed here in a ball of flames soon after

:11:51. > :11:57.board were killed. Among the dead were players, coaches and officials

:11:57. > :12:01.from one of Russia's Top ice hockey teams, Lokomotiv Yaroslavl. The

:12:01. > :12:07.team had a Canadian trainer and star players from Sweden, Slovakia

:12:07. > :12:11.and the Czech Republic. Today, the fans gathered outside the club's

:12:11. > :12:16.stadium. They laid fan -- flowers and lit candles and they stood

:12:16. > :12:19.staring in disbelief that their hockey team had been wiped out.

:12:19. > :12:23.Russians have grown used to hearing of these kinds of disasters in

:12:23. > :12:27.their country. Of planes crashing, pleasure boats sinking, but this

:12:27. > :12:37.latest tragedy has caused particular shock and anger here.

:12:37. > :12:39.With a plane crash wiping out almost an entire ice hockey team.

:12:39. > :12:43.The 50-year-old British fashion designer John Galliano has been

:12:43. > :12:48.found guilty of anti-Semitic -- Anti-Semitism by a court in Paris.

:12:48. > :12:52.He was given a suspended fine of 6,000 euros for a series of drunken

:12:52. > :12:56.outbursts against fellow customers in a Paris bar. John Galliano was

:12:56. > :13:02.sacked from the fashion house d'Or in March. The court also ordered

:13:02. > :13:05.him to pay a symbolic one euros win damages to each of his victims. ILA

:13:05. > :13:10.Paris correspondent Christian Fraser has the story.

:13:11. > :13:14.The king of high fashion ruined by anti-Semitic insults that cost him

:13:14. > :13:19.a million dollar career. Today, John Galliano's shame was complete,

:13:19. > :13:23.a guilty verdict of the suspended fine tells you that judges had

:13:23. > :13:26.certain sympathy. There is actually no penalty so to speak which is a

:13:26. > :13:30.very strong signed by the court because it shows the court took

:13:30. > :13:34.into account is sincere apology, the fact that Mr Galliano has

:13:34. > :13:37.entered treatment for his addiction. He was arrested in July over a

:13:37. > :13:41.series of complaints from people who he had abused. The court was

:13:41. > :13:45.shown a video filmed in a bar in which Mr Galliano was heard

:13:45. > :13:50.glorifying the Holocaust. On another occasion he told art

:13:50. > :13:53.curator Geraldine Bloch she had, a dirty Jewish face. The designer

:13:53. > :13:58.admitted on that particular night he had been drinking heavily at

:13:58. > :14:02.this bar. On a cocktail of Valium and sleeping pills. John Galliano

:14:02. > :14:05.was a regular at La Perle Bar but his behaviour, said staff, had

:14:05. > :14:09.become increasingly erratic. He told the court he had no

:14:09. > :14:12.recollection of the knights who was arrested but so common were these

:14:12. > :14:17.outbursts the chauffeur had instructions to call the designer's

:14:17. > :14:21.lawyer if the rows became too heated. Mr Galliano's friends

:14:21. > :14:26.blamed the workload. He oversaw 12 new collections the year for the

:14:26. > :14:29.Dior. The pressure dramatically decreased in 2007 with the death of

:14:29. > :14:34.his partner at first assistant, Stephen Robinson, who died of an

:14:35. > :14:40.overdose. -- increased. I think it is impossible for anybody to be

:14:40. > :14:46.creative and respond to these demands that are increasing on one

:14:46. > :14:50.single person. Of course Dior could also have accompanied him in a

:14:50. > :14:55.different manner, could have tried to replace his first assistant who

:14:55. > :14:59.was also his very, very close friend. He was fired by Dior after

:14:59. > :15:04.his arrest. This summer he did pick up a pencil to start Kate Moss's

:15:04. > :15:07.wedding dress, part of my creative therapy, he told Vogue magazine. As

:15:07. > :15:12.for Dior, they are yet to appoint his successor but the rumours are

:15:12. > :15:22.they like the look of Marc Jacobs, an American designer was Jewish

:15:22. > :15:28.

:15:29. > :15:35.The transitional federal Government in say Somalia is willing to talk

:15:35. > :15:39.to a rebel group. It was said that an international gathering in

:15:39. > :15:44.Nairobi that the head of the country would talking anyone

:15:44. > :15:49.willing to save Somalia. 3 million Somali Zara Prescott dying from

:15:49. > :15:54.famine within the next few months. Government representatives from

:15:54. > :16:02.across the region are here at this summit on the famine. The aim is to

:16:02. > :16:07.come up with an action plan to be signed by the heads of State. They

:16:07. > :16:12.want to ensure that the next time a drought hits it does not cause a

:16:12. > :16:18.humanitarian catastrophe. Right now more than 13 million people across

:16:18. > :16:23.the region are addressed. This is the epicentre of the crisis,

:16:23. > :16:27.Somalia, where the UN says the famine is still spreading.

:16:27. > :16:32.Humanitarian agencies are still delivering food but the effort in

:16:32. > :16:42.the south of the country is hampered by the ongoing war of. The

:16:42. > :16:46.

:16:46. > :16:56.group which controls the worst area is Neen there are not aid packages

:16:56. > :16:56.

:16:57. > :17:03.getting to people. Anybody who can talk to us or speak with us to help

:17:03. > :17:08.as save so Malawians we will talk to them. There is a glimmer of hope

:17:08. > :17:13.that the dire situation could provoke the warring factions to put

:17:13. > :17:17.aside their differences. Kenya's foreign minister says if expensive

:17:17. > :17:25.military campaigns could be funded by the West then surely money could

:17:25. > :17:30.be found to save lives. We are continuously reminding the rest of

:17:30. > :17:34.the world that if they can spend billions of dollars to drive out

:17:34. > :17:40.Gaddafi they can spell a little of that to save the dying people in

:17:40. > :17:45.the Horn of Africa. This crisis will not be solved by a few heads

:17:45. > :17:50.of State flying in to sign a bit of paper but it will remind the world

:17:50. > :17:53.that the famine is still causing misery for millions across this

:17:53. > :17:59.region and the humanitarian response will be needed for months

:18:00. > :18:04.to come. The United Nations envoy to Somalia took a break from those

:18:04. > :18:10.discussions at the gathering in Nairobi to talk to us. He told us

:18:10. > :18:16.that more donor funding is needed. There has been a very generous

:18:16. > :18:22.response so far but out of the estimated $1 billion that is

:18:22. > :18:29.required for the next six months to address the famine, or only 300

:18:29. > :18:38.million have been received so far. The effort is continuing. This

:18:39. > :18:43.meeting is very important to help reach the target. What is the key

:18:43. > :18:49.thing you want to see happen in this area to ensure people are not

:18:49. > :18:54.starving? Firstly we must have policies that are addressing the

:18:54. > :19:04.root causes of drought and implementing the measures that are

:19:04. > :19:05.

:19:05. > :19:10.needed in a full security, water management and land use. The whole

:19:10. > :19:14.question of pastoralists in this part of the world has -- who have

:19:14. > :19:18.lost their livestock in the past few months. We hear the Government

:19:18. > :19:23.are trying to speak to members of the rebel groups so that they can

:19:23. > :19:30.go to the areas where they are in control, is that the case and would

:19:30. > :19:34.that not be legitimising a militant group? Humanitarian access and

:19:34. > :19:44.security for humanitarian workers is one issue. Political

:19:44. > :19:45.

:19:45. > :19:52.negotiations is another. The group should renounce violence, laid down

:19:52. > :19:58.their arms and joined the peace process. There may be promising

:19:58. > :20:05.signals now that this is the moment and the opportunity where elements

:20:05. > :20:10.of the rebel group are again invited to come into the political

:20:10. > :20:18.discussions, this would be the time. The door remains open and an olive

:20:18. > :20:24.branch has been extended by the ruling Government and by the

:20:24. > :20:29.international community through the United Nations Security Council.

:20:29. > :20:36.That was the UN envoy for Somalia are talking to me from Nairobi.

:20:36. > :20:42.Nearly one in 10 Americans are looking for her work. Their economy

:20:42. > :20:46.needs to create thousands of jobs each year just to stand still. In a

:20:46. > :20:56.few hours' time Barack Obama will unveil a plan to get Americans back

:20:56. > :21:00.to work. You may not guess it from this crowd, but Barack Obama's

:21:01. > :21:05.popularity is at a new low placing him under more pressure to get

:21:05. > :21:09.Americans back to work. Given the lack of appetite for more

:21:09. > :21:14.Government spending, his suggestions for cranking up the

:21:15. > :21:21.economy might not get far. depends what kind of stimulus will

:21:21. > :21:28.be called for, if it is a waste ranging spending package the chance

:22:26. > :22:32.is nothing to lose. For millions of Americans the great recession of a

:22:41. > :22:48.there may not be jobs for them. It joining as now from New York is an

:22:59. > :23:05.most in terms of short-term stimulus if you are actually

:23:05. > :23:09.creating jobs. If you are spending money on things to benefit the

:23:20. > :23:25.cuts, you have to aim at people on lower levels of pay, they will

:23:25. > :23:29.probably be trying to pay off their debt rather than spending. For

:23:29. > :23:33.companies that are worried about the uncertainty in their economy,

:23:33. > :23:37.they will not hire people because it is a little cheaper. It will

:23:37. > :23:43.take more of a push to make them feel good about the prospects for

:23:43. > :23:50.the economy in the long term. people think there is another

:23:50. > :23:54.recession on the cards in the US? People have been talking about two

:23:54. > :23:59.recessions and a double Decker. I think we are looking at a period of

:23:59. > :24:03.slow growth which will take us a lot of time to generate that demand

:24:03. > :24:09.and see a return to the higher growth levels of earlier. This is

:24:09. > :24:15.not a recession, it is a severe contraction. What about printing

:24:15. > :24:19.more money? I think there is a lot of pressure for inflation all

:24:19. > :24:24.around the world because there are a lot of countries that have huge

:24:24. > :24:29.debts. Inflation is one way to make them go away. Countries such as

:24:29. > :24:39.China are seeing do not use inflation because it will alter the

:24:41. > :24:45.terms of trade. Thank you. -- China are saying. It is a question that

:24:45. > :24:50.has baffled scientists for generations, how did we become

:24:50. > :24:54.human and who are our closest ancestors? Scientists in South

:24:54. > :25:00.Africa believe they may have found a hidden link between chimps and

:25:00. > :25:06.humans. They have been studying two skeletons which are more than 2

:25:06. > :25:12.million years old. South African scoreless park the cradle of

:25:12. > :25:18.humankind. It turns out that it may well be. These remains were found

:25:18. > :25:25.in a cave at the park. They are of an ape-like creature who lived 2

:25:25. > :25:34.million years ago. Research shows they are the most human-like tapes

:25:34. > :25:37.of their time. These hands may have been able to use tools. News Gans

:25:37. > :25:46.of its skull shows that the brain was shifting to being more human-

:25:46. > :25:51.like. We are looking for something that is potentially tool using,

:25:51. > :25:59.there are the potential origins of language, something that is looking

:25:59. > :26:04.like us. This is the story of human evolution so far. The first apes

:26:04. > :26:09.emerged 20 million years ago, then came three humans, apes with some

:26:10. > :26:15.human characteristics. Then came the first true Schumann's, this

:26:15. > :26:19.happened around 2 million years ago. The new species is thought to be

:26:19. > :26:29.right at the transition point between the human and Schumann.

:26:29. > :26:30.

:26:30. > :26:37.Some say it actually was the very first human. -- human. This new

:26:37. > :26:44.discovery challenges the theory that the first human arrived in

:26:44. > :26:50.East Africa. Scientists once thought there was a linear

:26:50. > :26:55.progression from monkey to ape to Schumann. We now know the picture

:26:55. > :27:01.was far more complicated. There were many similar species which

:27:01. > :27:08.became fewer over the years until there was just one, us. Never

:27:08. > :27:17.before have our origins been studied in so much detail. There

:27:17. > :27:23.are a deeper questions about what it truly means to be human. Now let

:27:23. > :27:28.us remind you of our main story. An independent inquiry here has

:27:28. > :27:32.concluded that British soldiers serving in Iraq took part in

:27:32. > :27:39.unjustified and brutal violence that led to the deaths of an Iraqi

:27:39. > :27:48.civilian. A sustained assault on the Baha Mousa and other detainees

:27:48. > :27:58.in 2003 had left a very great stain on Britain's armed forces. That is

:28:06. > :28:13.often now. Goodbye. -- that is all After the cool and breezy weather

:28:13. > :28:19.we have some warmth to end the week. It will be as sticky day tomorrow.

:28:19. > :28:25.The warmth is spreading up from the south. There will be some moist

:28:25. > :28:32.area and so coastal or hill fog. During the day tomorrow it will

:28:32. > :28:38.warm up. That comes after a morning of a good deal of cloud. These will

:28:38. > :28:43.see the sunshine breaking through the cloud. By 4 o'clock there is

:28:43. > :28:48.quite a difference in temperatures. Not necessarily clear blue skies

:28:48. > :28:53.but it will be brighter, warmer and more humid than it has been. There

:28:53. > :29:00.will be coastal fog on the south coast and into South Wales. We will

:29:00. > :29:05.see some patchy outbreaks of rain or showers developing here. If you

:29:05. > :29:10.catch a shower it could be on the heavy side, especially late in the
