This is BBC World News Today. I'm Zeinab Badawi. The Syrian | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
authorities say they will strike back with an iron fist, after an | :00:13. | :00:18. | |
apparent suicide bombing in Damascus. Syrian media claim dozens | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
are dead or injured, and blame terrorists. But how credible are | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
those claims? There was a very strong sense that | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
the Syrian authorities wanted to display what had happened. There | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
were crowds of people chanting pro- regime slogans in support of Bashar | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
al-Assad. The British government says there's | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
no urgent need to remove sub- standard breast implants but it | :00:40. | :00:48. | |
will cover costs for women who had their surgery under the NHS. | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
A key moment for Turkey - its former army chief is arrested over | :00:51. | :00:56. | |
an alleged plot to topple the government a few years ago. | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
Also coming up in the programme: The African National Congress marks | :00:59. | :01:03. | |

the winner of the BBC's search for Hello and welcome. It's difficult | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
to verify events in Syria, because journalists can not operate | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
independently, but according to the Syrian Interior Ministry around two | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
dozen people and many more were injured in a suicide bombing in | :01:42. | :01:49. | |
Damascus today. The bombing comes two days before the Arab League is | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
due to consider the initial report of its monitoring mission in the | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
country. The Syrian opposition claim the authorities staged the | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
bombing to bolster their claims that terrorists and armed gangs are | :02:00. | :02:09. | |
behind the killings in Syria. Mike Wooldridge has more. | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
Another scene of devastation in the centre of Damascus. The wreckage of | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
a bus said to be carrying a policeman. Other vehicles with | :02:18. | :02:28. | |
shattered windows, multiple Syrian state television and | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
breaking the news, the reporter says the blast happened in an area | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
heavily populated, especially before Friday prayers with people | :02:35. | :02:41. | |
going shopping. They were targeted in addition to security personnel. | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
The television calls it the work of a suicide bomber, a terrorist | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
explosion. Anger at the scene in the aftermath. The interior | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
minister said a suicide bomber targetted cars and pedestrians and | :02:56. | :03:02. | |
detonated explosives to kill as many people as possible. It comes | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
two weeks after the authorities say there was an attack by suicide | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
bombers in Damascus on buildings associated with security forces. | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
The attack killed 44 people. The government blamed Al-Qaeda, | :03:16. | :03:22. | |
opposition say the regime was behind it. It shows the escalation | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
of the violence in Syria and its changing nature. Whether today's | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
explosion will lead to similar claim and counter-claim is not | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
clear. The main armed group fighting the government indicates | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
it was not involved. It coincides with increasing controversy over | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
the effectiveness of the Arab League observer mission currently | :03:42. | :03:49. | |
in Syria. The President's government is accused of misleading | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
the Arab League monitors by not taking them to some of the most | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
vocal anti- government areas. On Thursday, a group of observers to | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
break away from the government minders to visit a suburb in | :04:00. | :04:06. | |
Damascus. These pictures filmed by BBC Arabic show the monitors in | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
orange vests being encircled as they are here by with his accounts | :04:10. | :04:17. | |
from angry grieving citizens. This man has said his son was shot by a | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
sniper and stabbed to death as he was leaving a mosque during | :04:20. | :04:27. | |
protests. The observers did not witness any violence but these | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
pictures seem to show the same suburb later that day with people | :04:32. | :04:38. | |
fleeing in panic as gunfire breaks out. Some Arab League countries | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
admit the 100 strong mission may have fallen short in its duty and | :04:42. | :04:50. | |
agrees to send 40 more observers. Ian Black is the Middle East Editor | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
for The Guardian newspaper. He was allowed to visit the scene two | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
hours after the blast and he told the BBC a little earlier about what | :04:56. | :05:04. | |
he was able to see. The most striking evidence I saw | :05:04. | :05:10. | |
were the remains of a man who had blown himself up. There was part of | :05:10. | :05:17. | |
a head and some feat, a grisly scene. And other identifiable bits | :05:17. | :05:24. | |
of a human body in a plastic bag by one of the buses which was targeted. | :05:24. | :05:31. | |
By the time I and other journalists were taken to the place to see it, | :05:31. | :05:37. | |
there were no other bodies there, they had been removed, as had to | :05:37. | :05:47. | |
the injured. There were other what appeared to be body parts, | :05:47. | :05:53. | |
unidentifiable to the non expert eye but human remains which were | :05:53. | :05:58. | |
shown to the media to be filmed repeatedly, and there was a strong | :05:58. | :06:04. | |
sense the Syrian authorities wanted to do display what had happened. | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
There were crowds of people chanting slogans, pro regime | :06:09. | :06:15. | |
slogans in support of Bashar al- Assad. Hostility to those traitors | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
he carried out the crime. It has to be said it took place in an | :06:20. | :06:26. | |
ordinary neighbourhood of Damascus. A Guardian reporter talking about | :06:26. | :06:33. | |
the attack in Damascus today. Some of the other news: Binyamin, tens | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
of thousands have held street protest putting pressure on the | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
President to honour his agreement to step down next month. | :06:40. | :06:47. | |
The protesters called on authorities to release prisoners. | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
Supporters of the President held a separate protest near by. | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
The latest US employment figures showed they are better than | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
President Obama might have hoped for. There were 200,000 new jobs to | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
bring unemployment down to 8.5%, the lowest in three years. | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
Further protests across Nigeria against the controversial removal | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
of a fuel subsidy by the government. It has doubled the cost of petrol. | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
Hundreds gathered in the capital but were prevented from entering | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
eagle square by armed police and soldiers. | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
The World Boxing Association will investigate the ringside appearance | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
of an unknown man who seemed to speak to officials during Amir | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
Khan's defeat. He pasted photographs of the incident on his | :07:35. | :07:41. | |
Twitter feet. He said it took a long time to announce a fight after | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
the fight was finished. Britain's government says there is no | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
evidence to recommend the urgent removal of faulty breast implants | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
given to thousands of women in the UK. However, it says it will cover | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
the costs of removal for the small minority of women who had their | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
surgery under the National Health Service but not if was done | :07:56. | :08:06. | |
:08:06. | :08:09. | ||
privately. Our medical correspondent Fergus Walsh reports. | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
These breast implants are being filmed with medically tested | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
silicone, a company in North Lanarkshire is the only British | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
firm which makes them. The French Poly Implant Prothese implants had | :08:21. | :08:27. | |
industrial grade silicone and were banned. Health officials in the | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
Czech Republic followed France's lead recommending women have the | :08:32. | :08:38. | |
implants removed as a precaution. The official line is there is no | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
need for removal but the NHS will pay for replacement implants if | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
cancer patients are suffering anxiety. It's important not to | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
exaggerate the reasons to be worried but if women are worried we | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
will support them. I expects and the expert group want to see | :08:56. | :09:01. | |
private providers offer the same standard of care. It's thought | :09:01. | :09:08. | |
40,000 or more UK women have Poly Implant Prothese implants. 95% done | :09:08. | :09:13. | |
privately for breast enlargement. 5% were done by the NHS for breast | :09:14. | :09:20. | |
reconstruction after cancer. Karen is desperate to have her Poly | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
Implant Prothese implants removed, one has ruptured. Ministers say | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
private clinics are morally obliged to help patients like her but there | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
are no legal powers to force them. I don't know where it has left me. | :09:34. | :09:41. | |
I do not have the funds to have them removed. I must walk around... | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
It could get worse. The issue comes down to an assessment of risk. | :09:46. | :09:51. | |
Every woman undergoing implant surgery is told there is a danger | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
of complications and that increases the longer the implants stay in. | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
Eventually, they may need to be replaced. The government review | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
group considered whether the Poly Implant Prothese implants carried | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
additional an acceptable risks that would require the removal. They are | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
very robust. This surgeon says private clinics should pay for | :10:12. | :10:17. | |
replacements but women must not be abandoned by the NHS. They did not | :10:17. | :10:22. | |
know the risk that they would be implanted with non-medical great | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
implants, the NHS picks up the bill for smoking and alcohol related | :10:26. | :10:32. | |
diseases. We all know smoking and alcohol can cause problems and yet | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
the NHS picks up the bill. Government's decision means women | :10:36. | :10:41. | |
who cannot persuade private clinics to help them will have to pay for | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
replacements like bees or simply live with their Poly Implant | :10:44. | :10:50. | |
Prothese implants. The former head of the Turkish | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
armed forces has been arrested as part of an investigation into an | :10:54. | :11:00. | |
attempt to overthrow the government. A prosecutor said he should be | :11:00. | :11:05. | |
remanded in custody after he testified in court in Istanbul. | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
General Ilker Basbug is the highest ranking of to be linked to the | :11:09. | :11:18. | |
investigation. Prosecutors say the network plan to topple the Islamist | :11:18. | :11:23. | |
government in a 2003. There are carry 400 suspects on trial over | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
several alleged anti- government plots by the military and the | :11:27. | :11:34. | |
secular establishment. A London- based Turkish analyst and research | :11:34. | :11:39. | |
associate at the Foreign Policy Centre in London. He joins me. So, | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
this is quite a key moment for Turkey when you have a former head | :11:43. | :11:49. | |
of the army being asked by a civilian court to undergo these | :11:49. | :11:54. | |
charges. Yes, no matter what angle we look at it, it's a historical | :11:54. | :12:01. | |
moment. Just as any historical moment, the glass is half full or | :12:01. | :12:07. | |
half empty. It signifiers the normalisation of democracy in | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
Turkey when an accusation can be brought against a leading military | :12:11. | :12:17. | |
officer and they do have to stand before the law. It raises serious | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
questions though about Turkish judiciary and how the cases handled | :12:21. | :12:29. | |
and put questions. It will be a key test for the Turkish government as | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
to whether the trial will be conducted properly if Turkey wishes | :12:33. | :12:40. | |
to impress upon its critics it is a modern secular state. Indeed. A lot | :12:40. | :12:45. | |
of the problems with the court case or the prose is issues are not | :12:45. | :12:53. | |
necessarily the problems relating to A E K A. It needs reform and the | :12:53. | :12:59. | |
EU has been critical on various occasions. Effaces criticisms not | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
only at international level in showing the ultimate goal is | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
democracy but also at the domestic level. There are questions and | :13:07. | :13:13. | |
certain parts of Turkish society that see the court case as a | :13:13. | :13:21. | |
punishment. With the recent issue with the bombings and listed by the | :13:21. | :13:27. | |
military and did it apologise for the bombings. In Turkey, the | :13:27. | :13:33. | |
military are the custodians of the secular nature of the state and the | :13:33. | :13:38. | |
president with his roots, it is not a him of trying to undermine his | :13:38. | :13:43. | |
secular opponents? It really isn't. They have spent enough time in | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
office for us to be able to assess the agenda and attitude and | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
political theology. The critics would raise questions whether or | :13:51. | :13:59. | |
not the case symbolises a making it more like Russia. A strong party | :13:59. | :14:07. | |
and a strong ruler. Even that would be a dubious reading of the | :14:07. | :14:12. | |
situation. He denies all the charges and says Huckerby accused | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
by the government which appointed me head of the military in Turkey. | :14:16. | :14:22. | |
Yes, the accusation is not that he was necessarily trying to overthrow | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
the government but that he gave permission to misinformation | :14:26. | :14:32. | |
campaigns being run by the Office against the government. The | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
accusations a quite specific and manageable. The overall case | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
involving hundreds of people includes serious allegations | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
including organisation of armed groups to overthrow the government. | :14:44. | :14:48. | |
The plot thickens. Indeed. Thank you. | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
Hungary's centre-right government is continuing to defend the new | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
constitution it has introduced which critics claim a roads | :14:55. | :15:00. | |
democracy in the country. Alarm is expressed internationally and the | :15:00. | :15:06. | |
EU is examining whether the charges -- changes break EU law. With one | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
rating agency downgrading Hungary's credit status to junk, the | :15:10. | :15:15. | |
government might be forced to renegotiate some or all of the | :15:15. | :15:25. | |
:15:25. | :15:27. | ||
changes if it is to get a possible We found little cheer on this tramp | :15:27. | :15:32. | |
across the Danube. No wonder, hungry's economy is in a slump and | :15:32. | :15:41. | |
some here accuse the government of turning back democracy -- Hungary's. | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
So this is all the fuss is about? Ministers are not shy of showing | :15:45. | :15:50. | |
off their new constitution, as for the idea it is anti-democratic... | :15:50. | :15:55. | |
That is a supposition charge, even the question itself is a bizarre | :15:55. | :16:04. | |
one. In the heart of Europe we are finally getting back on track to an | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
organic development of the country which was disrupted by communism. | :16:07. | :16:12. | |
That is not how they see it. Tens of thousands turned out to protest | :16:12. | :16:18. | |
the new laws this week, claiming the independence of the judiciary | :16:18. | :16:22. | |
and the central bank are threatened. At the Public TV station some | :16:22. | :16:28. | |
journalists are run hunger-strike in protest. They are restricting | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
the constitutional Code, the freedom of press, dismantling | :16:32. | :16:37. | |
democracy, they are trying to set up a kind of tyranny, a regime | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
which is unprecedented in Europe. This row could not have come at a | :16:41. | :16:45. | |
worse time, the economy here is in dire straits. The government says | :16:45. | :16:51. | |
it needs some 20 billion euros of international loans to help pay its | :16:51. | :16:56. | |
bills. But the legal changes the government has just forced through | :16:56. | :17:04. | |
put such loans in jeopardy. At Budapest's food banks there is | :17:04. | :17:08. | |
concern over what that might mean for Hungary's poor. International | :17:08. | :17:12. | |
criticism of the new constitution has put loan negotiations on hold | :17:12. | :17:18. | |
at a time when poverty here is increasing. Back over the Danube | :17:18. | :17:24. | |
and this once affluent but the higher is heading into the unknown. | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
-- empire. Ministers say they will do all they can to satisfy | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
international investors but will they have to give up their | :17:31. | :17:40. | |
The African National Congress has been the party of some of South | :17:40. | :17:42. | |
Africa's most iconic figures, like Nelson Mandela, Oliver Tambo and | :17:42. | :17:44. | |
Walter Sisuslu. Well, this weekend the ANC marks its centenary with | :17:44. | :17:46. | |
three days of celebrations attended by African leaders along with | :17:46. | :17:47. | |
veterans of the anti-apartheid movement. As our Africa | :17:48. | :17:49. | |
correspondent Andrew Harding reports, the old liberation party | :17:49. | :17:59. | |
:17:59. | :18:10. | ||
is now facing an entirely different We have come to fix Burke, a small | :18:10. | :18:14. | |
struggling South African town -- Fichsburg. Sewage on the streets, | :18:14. | :18:20. | |
one tap shared by a whole neighbourhood. This is raw sewage? | :18:20. | :18:27. | |
How long has it been like this? almost 10 years. Anger is growing | :18:27. | :18:32. | |
here, people expected more from freedom and the governing ANC. | :18:32. | :18:37. | |
Vincent says the ruling party is corrupt, bloated and it is time for | :18:37. | :18:44. | |
change. The ANC now has collapsed. They cannot even provide a Amin's | :18:44. | :18:48. | |
of services to the people. We want them to lose power peacefully | :18:48. | :18:54. | |
because we didn't want to be any situation like happened in both | :18:54. | :19:01. | |
Libya and Egypt and Tunisia. It has been a long, momentous journey for | :19:01. | :19:06. | |
the ANC, forged during the struggle against racial oppression, the | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
greatest liberation movement led years of street protests, armed | :19:10. | :19:16. | |
rebellion and negotiation before its leader became South Africa's | :19:16. | :19:23. | |
first Democratic president. And now the party is celebrating its 100 | :19:23. | :19:31. | |
the birthday. Present Jacob Zuma leads the festivities. This is a | :19:31. | :19:38. | |
bittersweet moment for the ANC. The party seems to be way -- weighed | :19:38. | :19:42. | |
down by corruption, infighting and incompetence. Yet look how popular | :19:42. | :19:48. | |
they still are. That is because history and loyalty still count for | :19:48. | :19:57. | |
a great deal here. Many have perished, died, collapsed. Not the | :19:57. | :20:06. | |
ANC. But is the party of revolution losing its touch? At a golf | :20:06. | :20:10. | |
tournament for ANC elite a man in prison with Nelson Mandela | :20:10. | :20:16. | |
acknowledges mistakes. There is a bit of corruption, paps it is worse | :20:16. | :20:22. | |
in our country because we have not yet delivered the services fully to | :20:22. | :20:28. | |
the people of South Africa. But for all its faults, the ANC keeps | :20:28. | :20:33. | |
winning elections. Back in Fichsburg in a shack by a sewer, | :20:33. | :20:41. | |

Michael Kiwanuka may have won the accolade of the sound of 2012 but | :21:23. | :21:27. | |

never expected to win. It will be a great platform for me for as many | :21:43. | :21:47. | |
people as possible to hear it, a dream for any musician. I feel so | :21:47. | :21:55. | |
honoured, happy and humble to be part of it. Over the past few | :21:55. | :21:58. | |
months the 24 year-old has certainly been winning high-profile | :21:58. | :22:08. | |
And the north London singer- songwriter is already earning | :22:08. | :22:13. | |
favourable comparisons to artists like Bill rivers and Marvin Gaye. - | :22:13. | :22:20. | |
- Bill Withers. He uses recording equipment to create a classic, | :22:20. | :22:25. | |
vintage sound. The list is put together by asking more than 180 | :22:25. | :22:30. | |
people, ranging from music writers to DJs and bloggers, to name their | :22:30. | :22:33. | |
favourite new artists. Recent winners who have gone on to become | :22:33. | :22:43. | |
:22:43. | :23:00. | ||
Some have said it has become too mainstream at the cost of more | :23:00. | :23:06. | |
independent music. One panellist disagrees. The record companies are | :23:06. | :23:11. | |
aware this could help and it gives an enormous boost to an artist's | :23:11. | :23:15. | |
career in the early stages. But to get the top of the list, people do | :23:15. | :23:18. | |
not vote for anything, they vote for what is good and if you get to | :23:18. | :23:23. | |
the top of the list you have to be pretty good. With so many convinced | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
of Michael's potential great things are now expected from him over the | :23:26. | :23:36. | |
:23:36. | :23:41. | ||
I am sure you will hear a lot more from Michael. Let's get more from | :23:41. | :23:46. | |
BBC Radio 1 DJ Huw Stephens. You know so much more about these | :23:46. | :23:51. | |
performers so don't show me up! I have enjoyed listening to some of | :23:51. | :24:01. | |
:24:01. | :24:06. | ||
them. Do you think the right person I think he is brilliant, the top | :24:06. | :24:08. | |
five is eclectic and hopefully people will listen to these artists | :24:08. | :24:13. | |
for the first time. He was the only Brit in that top the list, wasn't | :24:13. | :24:18. | |
he? The rest were American and Swedish. Very much reminiscent of a | :24:18. | :24:23. | |
bygone era, he almost looks a bit like Al Green, doesn't he? Otis | :24:23. | :24:27. | |
Redding, Marvin Gay kind of tradition... A strong, vintage | :24:27. | :24:34. | |
sound. People like that. Sometimes people do not need forward-thinking | :24:34. | :24:39. | |
of music. Skrillex does forward- thinking dug step, he is in the | :24:39. | :24:49. | |
:24:49. | :24:59. | ||
list. He came No. Two? Frank ocean? That was an explosive song. I like | :24:59. | :25:05. | |
him. He is established, isn't he? Quite popular already. The rules of | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
getting in this list is you cannot have had a Top 20 single but they | :25:09. | :25:14. | |
are all signed, they are tipped for great things for the year ahead. | :25:14. | :25:19. | |
Who was your favourite? Mine was Nikki and the dove, a Swedish duo | :25:19. | :25:29. | |
:25:29. | :25:37. | ||
who were around number five. -- Let's see why you like to them... - | :25:37. | :25:47. | |
:25:47. | :25:47. | ||
They are raised Swedish duo and the Swedes do pop very well, don't | :25:47. | :25:54. | |
they? ABBA, yes! They are my favourites, I think. Do you think | :25:54. | :25:59. | |
this list tells us about how a taste in music might be changing? | :25:59. | :26:03. | |
People seem to like the voice. Adding that is why Michael Kiwanuka | :26:03. | :26:10. | |
did so well, I am sure we will hear a lot more from him -- I think. | :26:10. | :26:16. | |
There is forward-thinking hip hop from Azealia Banks, forward- | :26:16. | :26:20. | |
thinking soul music, dub step, it is an interesting list. Between all | :26:20. | :26:24. | |
of these five artists there is a 1000 other brilliant musicians who | :26:24. | :26:30. | |
why am sure we will hero over the next year. I look forward to it. I | :26:30. | :26:38. | |
have learned a lot from you just now. Thank you! That is all from us. | :26:38. | :26:48. | |

Today we saw some sunshine and much lighter winds. It felt quite | :27:03. | :27:06. | |
pleasant and it will be more at the same tomorrow. Decent spells of | :27:06. | :27:10. | |
sunshine with the breeze picking up as we head through the day. Through | :27:10. | :27:14. | |
the night, a weather front will sink southwards and introduce | :27:14. | :27:20. | |
patchy cloud and outbreaks of rain and drizzle. The winds tomorrow | :27:20. | :27:23. | |
will bring scattered showers into northern areas of Scotland with a | :27:23. | :27:26. | |
few of those feeding into north- west England and the Midlands lated | :27:26. | :27:34. | |
in the day. They will be really isolated but not too heavy. Through | :27:34. | :27:37. | |
eastern England and southern counties of England as well breezy | :27:37. | :27:45. | |
conditions through the day but a lot of dry weather and sunshine. If | :27:45. | :27:50. | |
you are heading out it should be very nice. South-west England and | :27:50. | :27:54. | |
Wales, sunny spells, maybe some a road showers for northern areas of | :27:54. | :27:57. | |
Wales through the afternoon. A bright, breezy afternoon for | :27:57. | :28:01. | |
Northern Ireland with highs of seven to 80 degrees. It is in | :28:01. | :28:05. | |
Scotland where the winds will continue to strengthen perhaps | :28:05. | :28:08. | |
touching gusts of gale force and some of the showers and the North | :28:08. | :28:12. | |
and the Northern Miles could be on the B-side. As we had do Saturday | :28:13. | :28:16. |
