:00:11. > :00:16.Rising tensions between Afghanistan and the coalition as the 16 Afghan

:00:16. > :00:19.victims of a US soldier are buried. The Afghan parliament calls for the

:00:19. > :00:25.attacker to be put on public trial, in Afghanistan - US officials

:00:25. > :00:28.promise a full and thorough investigation.

:00:29. > :00:34.This is not who we are and the United States is committed to

:00:34. > :00:38.seeing that those responsible are held accountable.

:00:38. > :00:47.Allegations of a massacre in the city of Homs in Syria as the UN

:00:47. > :00:49.calls on the international More civilian casualties on a

:00:49. > :00:56.fourth day of violence between Israeli forces and Palestinian

:00:56. > :00:59.militants in Gaza. Also coming up in the programme: As

:00:59. > :01:06.the South African government admits that 80 per cent of state schools

:01:06. > :01:11.are failing. 20 years on from the end of apartheid, why is education

:01:11. > :01:14.for black children still so poor? And he danced, he ran and he messed

:01:14. > :01:24.about on the beach - is Prince Harry the British royal family's

:01:24. > :01:32.

:01:32. > :01:36.Hello and welcome. In the villages of Kandahar in Afghanistan, they've

:01:36. > :01:40.been burying their dead today. 16 victims, nine of them children, of

:01:40. > :01:43.an American soldier, all shot in their homes in the early hours of

:01:43. > :01:49.Sunday. Hillary Clinton called the attack 'inexplicable', adding 'this

:01:49. > :01:52.is not who we are.' Local elders though told the BBC that there

:01:52. > :01:55.would be no further protests, as long as the man responsible for the

:01:55. > :02:05.killings was brought to justice. From Kabul, the BBC's Quentin

:02:05. > :02:20.

:02:21. > :02:25.Nine children have now been buried. Translation macro if he did this

:02:25. > :02:30.deliberately, he should be punished, otherwise it would raise many

:02:30. > :02:33.questions. The Taleban would benefit and become stronger.

:02:33. > :02:40.come and Inverdale went to the House of Muslims and massacred

:02:40. > :02:43.children and women? I feel very sad. Even I am ready to go to the side

:02:43. > :02:47.of the Taleban to fight against these foreigners.

:02:47. > :02:52.We know that the killer was a regular soldier who was working for

:02:52. > :02:55.Special forces. 11 years in the army, he was fully armed and

:02:55. > :02:59.wearing night-vision goggles when he carried out the attack. He was a

:02:59. > :03:05.guard at the base, making it easier for him to come and go from the out

:03:06. > :03:12.past -- the outpost in Kandahar. He left the place at 3am local time.

:03:12. > :03:17.He walked to these nearby villages and there he travelled from door to

:03:17. > :03:21.door, some were locked. But he made his way inside one home. There, he

:03:21. > :03:27.gathered together the family and killed all 11 with a single bullet

:03:27. > :03:30.each. Then five more in another two houses, the children were mostly

:03:30. > :03:34.toddlers. President Obama was shocked and saddened by the

:03:34. > :03:39.killings which he said were not representative of US military

:03:39. > :03:45.forces. In a call to President Karzai, he promised a full

:03:45. > :03:50.investigation. This will not affect the mission in Afghanistan for the

:03:50. > :03:54.United States. The mission is going to suffer and it is very tragic,

:03:54. > :04:00.but it would be far greater a tragedy to let this affect what we

:04:00. > :04:03.are doing for the country. In Kabul, others are more sceptical.

:04:03. > :04:09.President Karzai called the the gimmick -- killings unforgivable.

:04:09. > :04:12.Many are talking about the damage to relations with America.

:04:12. > :04:16.Senior officers are questioning whether this attack was pre-planned

:04:16. > :04:21.and did others know what the soldier's intentions? The Afghan

:04:21. > :04:24.people are asking an even simpler question? Why did a long serving

:04:24. > :04:26.American soldier, and I of Afghanistan, commit such a bloody

:04:26. > :04:29.act? Let's speak to Michael Semple,

:04:29. > :04:38.until last year a fellow in the State Building and human rights,

:04:38. > :04:43.Afghanistan Pakistan programme. He joins us from the States. After

:04:43. > :04:48.such carnage, is the one positive that there hasn't been mass

:04:48. > :04:55.demonstrations that we saw perhaps after the burning of the holy books

:04:55. > :05:03.yet? In Kandahar, people already have suffered so much that they do

:05:03. > :05:06.not have the confidence and the guts to go out and protest. The

:05:06. > :05:10.public order problem is not quite as grave as it was during the

:05:11. > :05:15.previous crisis, but there is a lot of damage to be dealt with. What do

:05:15. > :05:19.you think the long-term impact of this is after the book-burning?

:05:19. > :05:21.Will it have a very deleterious effect on the relationship between

:05:21. > :05:28.the Coalition and the Afghan authorities which will not be

:05:28. > :05:31.resolved? The first people that were going to exploit this are

:05:32. > :05:36.those Caliban who are involved in preparing the spring offensive.

:05:36. > :05:42.They know that everyone in Afghanistan today has seen TV

:05:42. > :05:46.images of young bodies being taken for burial. They will now be using

:05:46. > :05:51.it those in their propaganda videos to persuade the fighters to go out

:05:51. > :05:54.and create further mayhem later. Those are the people who were

:05:54. > :05:58.exploited. In terms of the relationship with the Afghan

:05:58. > :06:02.authorities, they have little option but to co-operate with the

:06:02. > :06:09.United States because they are struggling to have some kind of

:06:09. > :06:14.Garrity and stability of the on the US drawback. What else can they do?

:06:14. > :06:18.We saw the demand for justice for the perpetrators of the book

:06:18. > :06:21.burnings. We have heard calls for the soldiers to be tried in

:06:21. > :06:27.Afghanistan in public, but that will not happen, will it?

:06:27. > :06:29.Absolutely, if I had had an opportunity to give some advice in

:06:29. > :06:33.the years of people sitting in Parliament, I would say call for

:06:33. > :06:39.something that is likely to happen. Calling for something which is not

:06:40. > :06:43.going to happen will create further frustration. This will not happen.

:06:43. > :06:47.He went completely bonkers according to an eyewitness, this

:06:47. > :06:53.man had a nervous breakdown. Is there any sense that President

:06:53. > :07:00.Karzai will be able to sell that to people in Afghanistan, that this is

:07:00. > :07:03.just one at lone rogue individual who just went berserk? There is a

:07:03. > :07:07.real question as to whether it you will be able to sell that to

:07:07. > :07:13.President Karzai himself. Afghanistan is the land of

:07:13. > :07:20.conspiracy theories. When they rock night raids conducted by the US,

:07:20. > :07:24.multiple versions of them circulate. In a strange way, that also

:07:24. > :07:28.explains why the reaction has been somewhat muted, because even if

:07:28. > :07:33.this is the first time that we have seen someone go berserk like this,

:07:33. > :07:38.stories like this have frequently circulated. The difference was the

:07:38. > :07:43.previous ones were invented whereas this one was real. NATO advisers

:07:43. > :07:49.have not gone back into the ministry's following the book-

:07:49. > :07:55.burning. Does this delayed that return yet further? Again there is

:07:55. > :08:00.an issue of what can people do? Some of the mentors who were

:08:00. > :08:06.working inside the ministry's were not necessarily doing important

:08:06. > :08:10.jobs, but an awful lot of them were doing vital jobs. As the US moves

:08:10. > :08:14.towards a draw down, it involves more co-operation with Afghan

:08:14. > :08:18.counterparts rather than less. There is no way the US can do what

:08:18. > :08:22.it must over the next two years by hanging out in their own bases and

:08:22. > :08:25.going out on patrol by themselves. They will have to work closely with

:08:25. > :08:30.the Afghans, trying to piece together the trust which has been

:08:30. > :08:39.badly hurt by the incident of the book-burning and now this massacre.

:08:39. > :08:42.Thank you very much for joining us. The UN Secretary General Ban Ki

:08:42. > :08:45.Moon has described attacks by the Syrian Government on its civilian

:08:45. > :08:48.opponents as "shameful" and accused it of failing in its duty of

:08:48. > :08:51.protecting its own people. Speaking during a meeting of the UN General

:08:51. > :08:53.Assembly, Mr Ban called for unity from the international community to

:08:53. > :08:59.persuade President Assad and the opposition to end the violence and

:08:59. > :09:05.start negotiations. Deeply disturbing images said to be

:09:05. > :09:10.from the Syrian town of Homs. Evidence of a massacre by pro-

:09:10. > :09:16.government gunmen, including children. Damascus blamed on the

:09:16. > :09:23.terrace. There is no disputing there is a -- this month-long siege

:09:23. > :09:27.has left neighbourhoods bombed-out. Such scenes have spurred calls for

:09:27. > :09:33.the world to act yet piloted the impotence of the deeply divided

:09:33. > :09:37.Security Council. This council has so far failed. At this special

:09:37. > :09:41.session called by Britain, Western states denounce the brutality of

:09:41. > :09:46.the regime, but they were countered by Russian warnings about the armed

:09:46. > :09:49.resistance. TRANSLATION: There is no doubt that the Syrian

:09:49. > :09:53.authorities bear a huge responsibility for the situation,

:09:53. > :09:59.but one should not ignore the fact that for a long time they have been

:09:59. > :10:04.fighting combat units such as the so-called free Syrian army and

:10:04. > :10:09.extremist groups including Al-Qaeda which have lately committed a

:10:09. > :10:17.series of murderous to act -- murderous acts. Russia also spoke

:10:17. > :10:24.about an agreement. The Americans are also watching these

:10:24. > :10:30.developments closely. We took no to the fact that this past weekend in

:10:30. > :10:40.Cairo, the Arab League and Russian minister agreed on the necessity of

:10:40. > :10:47.

:10:47. > :10:52.We believe that now is the time for all nations, even those who have

:10:52. > :10:56.previously blocked our efforts, to stand behind the humanitarian and

:10:56. > :10:59.political approached start out by the Arab League. Even if the

:10:59. > :11:09.Security Council could finally agree to something on paper,

:11:09. > :11:12.

:11:12. > :11:14.getting changed on the ground would still be a daunting task. Now a

:11:14. > :11:17.look at some of the day's other news.

:11:17. > :11:19.At least 100 people have been killed and hundreds more are

:11:19. > :11:22.missing in South Sudan after renewed ethnic violence. Armed

:11:22. > :11:25.attackers from the Murle ethnic group stole thousands of cattle

:11:25. > :11:27.during raids in Upper Nile state. Violence between the Murle and Lou

:11:27. > :11:30.Nuer peoples have left thousands dead since South Sudan became

:11:30. > :11:32.independent last July. There's been a deadly raid in the

:11:32. > :11:36.Iraqi capital Baghdad. Gunmen killed at least nine people when

:11:36. > :11:39.they stormed a row of goldsmiths at a market. Police said some of the

:11:39. > :11:48.attackers shot at passers by while others stole jewellery from the

:11:48. > :11:52.shops. The head of Brazil's Football

:11:52. > :11:55.Association has stepped down from his post. The man who led the

:11:55. > :11:59.Brazilian Football Confederation for 23 years had been under

:11:59. > :12:02.pressure to resign under corruption allegations which he has denied.

:12:02. > :12:05.Here in Britain a High Court judge has decided that a man with what's

:12:05. > :12:08.known as "Locked-In Syndrome" should have his case decided by the

:12:08. > :12:11.court. Tony Nicklinson wants doctors to be able to end his life.

:12:11. > :12:17.He is physically paralysed from the neck down although his mind remains

:12:17. > :12:21.Israeli forces and Palestinian militants in Gaza have clashed for

:12:21. > :12:25.a fourth day in a row, in the worst cross-border violence in over a

:12:25. > :12:27.year. At least 23 people have been killed and dozens wounded by

:12:27. > :12:32.Israeli air strikes since Friday, while two Israelis have been

:12:32. > :12:34.injured by rockets fired from Gaza. The violence was sparked by

:12:34. > :12:44.Israel's killing of a top Palestinian militant leader on

:12:44. > :12:49.Friday. From Jerusalem, Rupert Another day and another funeral in

:12:49. > :12:53.Gaza City. This time it is for a 65-year-old man and his 35-year-old

:12:53. > :12:58.daughter. More than 20 people have been killed here since Friday. It

:12:58. > :13:04.is now the worst violence between Israel and Gaza in three years.

:13:04. > :13:07.Like these two, more casualties are civilians. A ragged cheer and a

:13:07. > :13:12.pool of blood marked the spot where they were killed this morning,

:13:12. > :13:17.caught in an Israeli counter-strike. A few minutes' drive away, the

:13:17. > :13:21.debris of another fresh bomb site. The smell of burning is still

:13:21. > :13:27.pungent in the air. Israel says it's only striking back

:13:27. > :13:29.at militants who are firing rockets out of Gaza, but that is not the

:13:29. > :13:34.weight things work and last night, one of their missiles hit this

:13:34. > :13:39.house in the North of Gaza where 30 members of the same family were

:13:39. > :13:42.sleeping. Amazingly, no one was killed in this destruction. 25

:13:43. > :13:47.members of that family are in hospital, including nine children.

:13:47. > :13:54.The man who owns the house does not deny he supports the militants. One

:13:54. > :13:58.of his sons has been killed fighting the Israelis. TRANSLATION:

:13:58. > :14:02.I have another two sons and I am ready to sacrifice them as well.

:14:02. > :14:10.After what the Israelis have done, I will keep resisting more strongly

:14:10. > :14:13.until the last drop of blood. above the Israeli drones circle.

:14:13. > :14:20.Their powerful cameras hunt for militants, ready to call in a new

:14:20. > :14:25.strike. This began on Friday when Israeli missiles Tora Park this car.

:14:25. > :14:30.Inside was the leader of a Gaza militant group. Israel says an

:14:30. > :14:35.attack by the group is imminent and the Killen justified. Since then,

:14:35. > :14:39.militants in Gaza have hit back, sending more than 130 rockets into

:14:39. > :14:44.towns and cities in southern Israel. In response is where has brought

:14:45. > :14:48.out its latest high-tech answer to the Gaza rockets. It is called the

:14:48. > :14:53.iron dome and its job is to shoot down the rockets before they can

:14:53. > :14:58.hit Israeli towns. The iron dome missiles may make Israelis feel

:14:58. > :15:03.safer, but on both sides of this conflict, a new generation is

:15:03. > :15:05.growing up learning to hate an enemy that it has never seen.

:15:05. > :15:15.Yossi Mekelberg is Associate Fellow of the Middle East Programme at

:15:15. > :15:18.Chatham House. Hamas itself is not involved in is, is there a risk

:15:19. > :15:25.that this could escalate into something more serious? 22 people

:15:26. > :15:31.have already been killed. It always starts with more limited operations,

:15:31. > :15:40.in this case targeting two leaders from the smaller group. The

:15:40. > :15:43.response is firing into Israel of rockets, which is series, but the

:15:43. > :15:48.Israelis reacted disproportionately and we have more than 20 people

:15:48. > :15:58.killed. There is pressure on the government and they must protect

:15:58. > :16:04.These two groups, are they being sanctioned and armed by Hamas

:16:04. > :16:14.choice mack are the Independent ques mack it is Hamas pos mac

:16:14. > :16:20.

:16:20. > :16:25.There is a process... There is almost an opportunity to start the

:16:25. > :16:31.process with Hamas and by having this kind of tit-for-tat, it is

:16:31. > :16:34.almost an opportunity for the Israelis to say, you see? You are

:16:35. > :16:44.seeing that even though country macro is being attacked by rockets

:16:45. > :16:58.

:16:58. > :17:05.from Gaza, there is an element of Be ironed and system is being able

:17:05. > :17:10.to take out these rockets as they take over. Correct. A signal to

:17:10. > :17:14.Hamas that we are looking at Iran. The talk is about Iran, if it is

:17:14. > :17:19.going to happen, we are still looking at what happens in Gaza or

:17:19. > :17:22.in Lebanon and preparing a case of all in Iran. If you think this

:17:22. > :17:28.would be an opportunity the to attack, we would -- we are prepared

:17:28. > :17:38.for this opportunity. Where do you think we stand in the time frame

:17:38. > :17:38.

:17:38. > :17:43.for attack against Iraq. --? The I have also been hearing that he has

:17:43. > :17:47.been influenced by his father. Explain a bit about that and

:17:47. > :17:57.whether that represents a much more hawkish prime minister now than a

:17:57. > :17:57.

:17:57. > :18:01.Netanyahu is more of a PR person than the Statesman. Last week it

:18:01. > :18:07.was celebrating the victory of the saviour of the Jewish people from a

:18:07. > :18:13.Persian ruler, to this way you are having a strong reek of the saving

:18:13. > :18:23.of the Jewish people back in Persia, many many many years ago. More

:18:23. > :18:27.

:18:27. > :18:33.importantly is this beach in a -- is his speech. The minute that

:18:33. > :18:38.Israel, a Jewish leader, talks about Iran in relation to Nazi

:18:38. > :18:45.Germany and Auschwitz, he locks himself into not a very big

:18:45. > :18:50.diplomatic space. If this is the same analogy it means either Iran

:18:50. > :18:58.stops their nuclear programme or there will be a war. This is very

:18:59. > :19:03.dangerous. Thank you. In South Africa, almost 20 years after the

:19:03. > :19:09.end of apartheid, the state education system is so poor that

:19:09. > :19:15.5,000 children are switching to private schools each year.

:19:15. > :19:25.Ministers admit that 80% of state schools are failing, with appalling

:19:25. > :19:26.

:19:26. > :19:33.infrastructure, a shortage of teachers and appalling exam results.

:19:33. > :19:36.Getahead High School, and low-cost private school in Eastern Cape.

:19:36. > :19:41.Most of the children are black and good results and discipline are a

:19:41. > :19:46.top priority, but far from been children from the elite, their

:19:46. > :19:51.families are scraping together the thousands of dollars in fees, let

:19:51. > :19:58.down by state schools. Need 17- year-old Panjwayi and his aunt,

:19:58. > :20:02.Nokwezi. His parents are dead. She cares for him. Swapping their nice

:20:02. > :20:09.flat in a house in a township in order to send him to private school.

:20:09. > :20:14.She is among a growing number of adults are worried that strikes and

:20:14. > :20:18.insecurity of undermining state schools. There is no security for

:20:18. > :20:27.the children. We find out that others are doing drugs, carrying

:20:27. > :20:32.weapons at school. Another day, another class. About half a million

:20:32. > :20:35.youngsters now go into schools like these, a dramatic response in a

:20:35. > :20:38.country where half of all youngsters leave without a

:20:38. > :20:43.secondary school certificate. Affordable private schools are

:20:43. > :20:47.being established right across South Africa. 5,000 children are

:20:47. > :20:52.making the switch every year, and yet the irony is, many of their

:20:52. > :20:59.parents are teachers from struggling state schools. This is

:20:59. > :21:04.Khumzi Madikane, their principal in the school in the Eastern Cape, but

:21:04. > :21:07.despite his best efforts, the head teacher struggles with appalling

:21:07. > :21:12.conditions at his state school. This is a typical example of a

:21:12. > :21:20.toilet that we have in the school. Latrine system. What impact does

:21:20. > :21:26.the poor are infrastructure have? The port infrastructure on the

:21:26. > :21:33.school makes the teachers not to be so interested in teaching in this

:21:33. > :21:37.school. Good afternoon, class. Absenteeism and staff shortages are

:21:37. > :21:42.faced by many state schools. By its own admission, the government says

:21:42. > :21:46.80% of them of failing. Nearly two met for decades after the end of

:21:46. > :21:50.apartheid, corruption, maladministration and neglect are

:21:50. > :22:00.taking their toll on the classrooms, turning the poorest into an

:22:00. > :22:00.

:22:00. > :22:03.underclass, as more black families opt for private education instead.

:22:03. > :22:06.His reputation was that of the party prince so some palace

:22:06. > :22:09.officials might have been forgiven for feeling a little nervous about

:22:09. > :22:13.how Prince Harry would shape up on his first official solo trip abroad.

:22:13. > :22:15.Pretty good seems to be the general opinion. The third in line to the

:22:16. > :22:18.British throne visited Belize, the Bahamas and Jamaica to mark the

:22:18. > :22:21.Queen's Golden jubilee, before flying onto Brazil on behalf of the

:22:21. > :22:24.British government. How carefully reined in was Harry by his PR team?

:22:24. > :22:30.Or is Harry quite naturally turning into the royal family secret

:22:33. > :22:41.biographer Ingrid Seward, but first those images that will be making

:22:41. > :22:46.the royal household very happy. has been an emotional trip, 10, 12

:22:46. > :22:53.days, I am exhausted, but the warmth of the reception of every

:22:53. > :23:03.single country we have been two has been utterly amazing. -- we have

:23:03. > :23:10.been too. He cheated! Honest! need every match! Me and you!

:23:10. > :23:19.have to check, I might be busy! Ingrid Seward, editor-in-chief at

:23:19. > :23:23.Majesty magazine. He has not put a salt wrong? No. -- foot. I know

:23:23. > :23:28.this sounds pompous but the army has made Prince Harry and that is

:23:28. > :23:31.what his brother has said. It has given him the confidence. You would

:23:31. > :23:35.never believe that somebody as a brilliant as Harry lacked

:23:35. > :23:43.confidence but he did and having that background and then going off

:23:43. > :23:47.on this trip, I think he feels that he can do anything, and he has.

:23:47. > :23:52.have to be a performing monkey, and that can be quite difficult to do

:23:52. > :23:57.sometimes when your energy levels are down. Not another photo

:23:57. > :24:01.opportunity! But he seems to do it naturally. In the way that his

:24:01. > :24:06.mother did as well. You could not be taught that rapport with

:24:06. > :24:12.children. There seems to be quite a lot of his mother about him.

:24:12. > :24:18.Obviously he is his mother's son, but he does seem to enjoy it. I am

:24:18. > :24:22.not saying he will forever! But that is infectious. He is very

:24:22. > :24:27.charming. He has always been very charming, he has just been a bit

:24:27. > :24:34.naughty! Who are his advisers? Some reports are that Prince William has

:24:34. > :24:40.been in daily contact with him as well. Who other backroom boys?

:24:40. > :24:44.William and Harry share an office in St James's Palace, so he has a

:24:44. > :24:49.small team there, and I am sure William has been on Twitter with

:24:49. > :24:55.him. I don't know if William has been very busy in the Falklands.

:24:55. > :24:59.is probably quite envious of where his brother has been? Absolutely!

:24:59. > :25:04.What about the long-term prospects for somebody like Prince Harry.

:25:04. > :25:11.When you look at Prince Andrew, for example, he had a pretty bad press,

:25:11. > :25:17.maybe does not have the same ease of manner. Is there the risk that

:25:17. > :25:21.the spare to the air of the throne can fall into bad habits if he is

:25:21. > :25:25.not carefully managed? There is very much a risk and we are not

:25:25. > :25:30.seeing it now because Harry is so dedicated to his Army career and

:25:30. > :25:34.whether he stays in the army, we do not know. He probably doesn't know

:25:34. > :25:38.either. There is always the risk that he will have all the goodies

:25:38. > :25:43.and not have the responsibility and I think that had we need to have a

:25:44. > :25:48.defined role. What it will be, we don't know. His relationship with

:25:48. > :25:53.the press, which Prince William shares with him, is extremely

:25:53. > :25:58.wearing, but do you think he has relaxed on that as well? Apparently,

:25:58. > :26:02.he has relaxed. He has been very charming to the press on this trip

:26:02. > :26:06.and Harry naturally doesn't like the media, nor does William,

:26:06. > :26:11.because they still blame their mother's death on the media, with

:26:11. > :26:15.quite good reason. Henry is one of the boys. There is no point were

:26:15. > :26:19.picking on a few people saying it is their fault. He has been very

:26:19. > :26:26.wide and has made friends with the people on this trip with him, which

:26:26. > :26:30.is great. Ingrid Seward, thank you. The main news: The Afghan

:26:30. > :26:35.parliament has passed a strongly worded resolution about the killing

:26:35. > :26:40.of 16 civilians by a US soldier. He said people had lost their patience

:26:40. > :26:44.with the actions of foreign troops and that the soldier must be tried

:26:44. > :26:49.publicly in an Afghan Court, which is pretty unlikely given immunity

:26:49. > :26:59.from prosecution that the United States demands. That is it. From me

:26:59. > :27:01.

:27:01. > :27:06.and the rest of the team, goodbye. On Monday we had warm sunshine for

:27:06. > :27:10.some of us, but much more cold and cloudy conditions elsewhere.

:27:10. > :27:15.Tonight we will see a lot of cloud around but tomorrow we will start

:27:15. > :27:19.to break the cloud up. All the while, it is staying drive

:27:19. > :27:25.underneath a big area of high pressure. The weather system is out

:27:25. > :27:29.in the Atlantic. On Tuesday, we will see a lot of cloud around. The

:27:29. > :27:34.cloudiest weather will be across the north and west of the country.

:27:34. > :27:38.To the east of the Pennines, we should see brighter spells.

:27:38. > :27:45.Slightly more cloud for the south- east corner compared to Monday. As

:27:45. > :27:50.a result a few degrees down on what we have had in recent days. Lloyd

:27:50. > :27:56.winds across the country. Cloudy skies across the south and west of

:27:56. > :28:00.the country -- like winds. Across Wales, where we have got cloudy

:28:00. > :28:08.skies, the temperatures will struggle and for Northern Ireland,

:28:08. > :28:12.it is going to be overcast but dry. The Western Isles of Scotland will
