me, saner and Dali. Turkey's former military chief is one of puzzled -- | :00:15. | :00:22. | |
Gazans jailed for plotting to overthrow the government. What does | :00:22. | :00:28. | |
this tell us about who controls the levers of power is in Turkey? | :00:28. | :00:33. | |
Overreaction or a real terror threat - US embassies in the Middle East | :00:33. | :00:36. | |

The world's biggest dairy exporter apologises for a scare in its | :00:41. | :00:49. | |
powdered dairy milk products. And the $300,000 burger being touted | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
as the meat of the future, but apparently it doesn't taste that | :00:52. | :01:02. | |
:01:02. | :01:05. | ||
good. Hello and welcome. The five-year | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
mass trial of army officers, journalists and academics in Turkey | :01:09. | :01:14. | |
has come to an end but the controversy has by no means | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
finished. Protesters clashed with police outside the courthouse even | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
before the verdicts were handed down. Nearly 275 have been found | :01:23. | :01:29. | |
guilty of plotting to overthrow the Islamist leaning dogma. One of them | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
is a former army chief who received a life sentence. The trial has put | :01:34. | :01:40. | |
the focus on tensions between secular traditions and the ruling AK | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
Party, which has its roots in political Islam. | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
Outside the high criminal Court, the protests began before the verdicts | :01:48. | :01:56. | |
were even delivered. The police stopped demonstrators from making it | :01:56. | :02:03. | |
to the court. We are the soldiers of the founder of the secular state, | :02:03. | :02:10. | |
the protesters chanted. They accused the government, rooted in Islam, of | :02:10. | :02:16. | |
inventing a conspiracy to silence valid opposition. I have attacked | :02:16. | :02:22. | |
the life sentences given to former army commanders. | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
TRANSLATION: this is a menace to the Republic of Turkey. If you are | :02:26. | :02:32. | |
trying somebody who is a member of the Armed Forces for being a member | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
of a terrorist organisation, you are trying be army. This nation will not | :02:36. | :02:46. | |
accept it. -- trying the army. prime minister once sat next to the | :02:46. | :02:55. | |
man accused of leading the conspiracy. The court has found him | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
guilty of plotting against the Prime Minister. The general has said the | :02:59. | :03:06. | |
church -- the charges are comic. The decades the military was the final | :03:06. | :03:12. | |
arbiter in Turkish politics. Between 1960 and 1997 the Armed Forces | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
removed four civilian governments but Erdogan has now asserted | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
civilian supremacy over the military. The sentences handed out | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
at the court are a sign of the changing nature of the Turkish | :03:25. | :03:35. | |
state. The military has lost its overwhelming power. Its defenders, | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
supporters of secularism, struggle to form a movement capable of | :03:38. | :03:47. | |
challenging the government. I am joined by the Turkey analyst | :03:47. | :03:54. | |
Fadi Hakura from Chatham House. Who would have thought that the once | :03:54. | :04:02. | |
powerful Turkish military would come to this? I think what happened today | :04:02. | :04:07. | |
is not a surprise. For five years there has been a clear process where | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
the civilian government was asserting and consolidating its | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
control over the military establishment. You needed to take | :04:15. | :04:24. | |
the army out of Turkish politics, the EU wanted Turkey to do that. But | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
they have been custodians of secularism in Turkey. If they are | :04:28. | :04:34. | |
not going to do the job, who is? Pretty much now it is left to the | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
Turkish voters. The military can no longer intervene in politics, the | :04:38. | :04:45. | |
period of military coups is over. What we saw in Egypt cannot happen | :04:45. | :04:53. | |
in Egypt. -- in Turkey. It is left to Turkish democracy to deal with | :04:53. | :05:01. | |
these ideological issues. What about the judiciary -- are they able to be | :05:01. | :05:10. | |
a check on the legislature? There is increasing evidence that the | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
judiciary is coming under control of the government. We are seeing less | :05:15. | :05:23. | |
and less evidence that they can elite act as an independent check on | :05:23. | :05:29. | |
the Prime Minister's extensive power. Is there any personal | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
animosity in this case. When the general was army chief, that is when | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
you had the military chief in 1997, and Erdogan ended up in prison. In a | :05:39. | :05:45. | |
sense the tables have been turned. Given the harsh sentences meted out | :05:45. | :05:53. | |
today by the court, there is growing opinion that this case became | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
increasingly politicised, that there was an element of score settling, | :05:57. | :06:03. | |
and even the United Nations working group on arbitrary detention | :06:03. | :06:10. | |
criticised the trial. The trial was held behind closed doors and most | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
witness statements were in secret. Do we know whether there is any | :06:14. | :06:21. | |
chance of a real appeal? I think the likelihood of a successful appeal | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
looks remote. It is most likely in the immediate future that these top | :06:25. | :06:35. | |
:06:35. | :06:36. | ||
sentences will stand. -- tough sentences. I doubt that these | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
verdicts will trigger a massive political reaction in Turkey. It has | :06:41. | :06:48. | |
been ongoing for five years and really the majority opinion in | :06:48. | :06:54. | |
Turkey, whether amongst secularists, liberals are Conservatives or | :06:54. | :07:00. | |
nationalists, they don't want to see any military intervention. When we | :07:00. | :07:09. | |
secret Susan is about the AK Party, and its critics say they are trying | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
to make society more Islamists, are they going to have a more free hand | :07:13. | :07:19. | |
as a result of this sentence? think they had enormous political | :07:19. | :07:25. | |
leveraged even before this verdict. The last tree or four years the AK | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
Party has been in the asserted -- the ascendancy and has been able to | :07:29. | :07:37. | |
implement its agenda in Turkey. Where would you put this trial in | :07:37. | :07:44. | |
the history of modern Turkey? think this verdict would be seen as | :07:44. | :07:50. | |
a lost opportunity. Turkey could have used this occasion to really | :07:50. | :08:00. | |
:08:00. | :08:08. | ||
reveal the tragedies and brutalities of the past clues -- coups. | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
The US State Department has been giving its reasons to close around | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
20 embassies in the Middle East and Africa on Sunday. It has extended | :08:16. | :08:24. | |
the period until August ten. The US believes it has credible information | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
about a possible terror attack. The State Department said there was a | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
serious threat. We will keep evaluating information | :08:31. | :08:40. | |
as it comes in, and that is why yesterday we announced that sum | :08:40. | :08:47. | |
would be reopening and some would be closing today. We are going to keep | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
analysing the information and making adjustments where we need to but | :08:50. | :08:59. | |
overall what we are doing is taking precautionary steps to protect our | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
people and our facilities and visitors to those facilities | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
overseas. A spokesperson for the US State | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
Department there. Let's go to our risk -- our correspondent Rajini | :09:09. | :09:15. | |
Vaidyanathan. They say they don't want to be too specific but what is | :09:15. | :09:25. | |
:09:25. | :09:32. | ||
the chapter that they have been hearing? -- chatter. We did not get | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
any more details but she reiterated that the source of the threat was | :09:36. | :09:42. | |
chatter, intercepted conversations suggesting that Al-Qaeda in the | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
Arabian Peninsula were planning an attack and that it was of a serious | :09:46. | :09:51. | |
nature, which is why they wanted to close this many embassies. What she | :09:51. | :09:58. | |
said in the briefing is that, as the now, the closures of the 19 will | :09:58. | :10:05. | |
continue. -- as for now. She said she could not give a finite time and | :10:05. | :10:11. | |
when any may open but she said that for at least a week the 19 would | :10:11. | :10:17. | |
remain closed. She was pressed on the idea that if it was a specific | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
threat why are so many embassies being shut? One reporter suggested | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
it was not that specific but she was unable to give us any more clarity | :10:26. | :10:33. | |
than that. Further next week, until the weekend, these 19 will remain | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
shut. It is worth noting that she said they were reevaluating the | :10:38. | :10:45. | |
situation day by day. What is the chatter in Washington about this. Do | :10:45. | :10:51. | |
they think this is an overreaction or the right response? One thing | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
many people are saying in Washington is that this has come at a time when | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
lawmakers have gone on their summer holiday so in terms of getting more | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
information people have been feeling that they have been in the dark | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
slightly. We heard from some congressmen over the weekend who | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
talked about the level of the threat, they have been briefed over | :11:10. | :11:15. | |
the weekend and they did reveal some information about the severity of | :11:15. | :11:20. | |
it, about the fact that the source of this potential attack was | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, but other than that there is a | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
feeling that more information is needed in terms of what will happen | :11:28. | :11:34. | |
after this week, will discontinue. I have spoken to a former US | :11:34. | :11:39. | |
ambassador who spent time in Iraq and he said that whilst it is worth | :11:39. | :11:45. | |
noting that they are closing these embassies it will not be a total | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
shutdown. They are going into security mode, there will still | :11:50. | :11:57. | |
people inside. In one sense they are not completely shut down. There | :11:57. | :12:03. | |
still will be a presence in these countries but they will be operating | :12:03. | :12:10. | |
in a very different way. Thank you, Rajini Vaidyanathan in Washington. | :12:10. | :12:19. | |
As the US takes measures to protect -- to prevent an attack abroad, | :12:19. | :12:24. | |
there has been more information about the lack -- the latest attack | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
on American soil. One of the brothers involved allegedly in the | :12:28. | :12:37. | |
Boston bombings was involved in websites involving white supremacy | :12:37. | :12:46. | |
and anti-government rubber gander. -- propaganda. | :12:46. | :12:52. | |
The horror of April in Boston and a burning question in the mind of | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
America - where did the hatred come from to do this? When these ethnic | :12:56. | :13:02. | |
Chechen brothers, Tamala and and Dzhokhar, were caught on camera, it | :13:02. | :13:08. | |
was put down to the work of jihadists. They had been reading | :13:08. | :13:15. | |
militant Islamic websites. But now the BBC has found out that the older | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
brother was reading right wing American literature months before | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
the bombing. Articles about government conspiracies, gun rights, | :13:22. | :13:29. | |
white supremacy and the minds of mass killers. Was Tamala a true | :13:29. | :13:37. | |
radical jihadist or just an angry young man who latched onto Islam. -- | :13:37. | :13:43. | |
Tamerlan. A few months ago he had risen to become a prominent boxer. A | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
close friend said he began to change around the time he was barred from | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
competing at a national level because he did not have American | :13:50. | :13:59. | |
citizenship. He vanished, it raised his face chip page -- Facebook page. | :13:59. | :14:05. | |
He began to hate America and turned heavily to Islam. At his mosque near | :14:05. | :14:10. | |
Boston he only turned up to pray occasionally. As far as connecting | :14:10. | :14:15. | |
with the Islamic community here, actually praying, being involved, | :14:15. | :14:20. | |
doing acts of charity, all of those were pretty much lacking. I would | :14:20. | :14:27. | |
say maybe he was just a Muslim of convenience. The brothers were on | :14:27. | :14:35. | |
their way here, New York, with more bombs before they were caught. | :14:35. | :14:42. | |
America's terror services are on constant alert. They are a new, less | :14:42. | :14:50. | |
predictable kind of terrorist. The chief minister of the British | :14:50. | :14:56. | |
territory of Gibraltar, off southern Spain, has accused Madrid of sabre | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
rattling and "acting like North Korea" in a dispute over fishing | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
rights. Tensions have increased between the two countries after the | :15:03. | :15:06. | |
Spanish government suggested it could introduce a fee for crossing | :15:06. | :15:12. | |
the border into Gibraltar, as Bridget Kendall reports. The Rock of | :15:12. | :15:18. | |
Gibraltar, Britain's tiny outpost on the tip of Spain. After tightened | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
border controls caused traffic chaos one week ago, the row seems to be | :15:23. | :15:29. | |
hotting up. Spain's foreign minister has warned that his government might | :15:29. | :15:31. | |
impose new restrictions on traffic and flights in and out of the | :15:31. | :15:35. | |
territory, declaring, the party is over. Gibraltar's Chief Minister | :15:35. | :15:45. | |
:15:45. | :15:47. | ||
this morning was also raising the rhetorical temperature. We have seen | :15:47. | :15:53. | |
the sabre rattling of the sort that we have not seen for some time. | :15:53. | :15:57. | |
threat, laid out in a Spanish newspaper interview, is just that, a | :15:57. | :16:05. | |
threat, but one step could be a border crossing fee of 50 euros for | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
each trip between Spain and Gibraltar. Another is tax | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
investigations into property owned by people from Gibraltar in Spain, | :16:12. | :16:18. | |
as well as closing Spanish airspace to planes landing at the airport in | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
Gibraltar. Downing Street said David Cameron was seriously concerned. And | :16:21. | :16:26. | |
this is what it seems prompted Spanish anger, concrete blocks | :16:26. | :16:31. | |
tipped into the Bay last month I Gibraltar, to make an artificial | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
reef to encourage marine life. Spain says the reef is illegal, and is | :16:35. | :16:40. | |
ripping the nets of Spanish fishermen. The row has rumbled on | :16:40. | :16:42. | |
for decades, and Britain says it wants this latest spat resolved | :16:42. | :16:48. | |
politically. But Spain has given no indication that it is prepared to | :16:48. | :16:56. | |
give way. It could be a long, hot August. Now, let's have a look at | :16:56. | :17:01. | |
some of the other main developments today. Pro-Mohamed Morsi protests | :17:01. | :17:11. | |
:17:11. | :17:11. | ||
have been going on in Egypt. Today, US Senators John McCain and Lindsey | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
Graham have arrived in Cairo. Meanwhile, a former leading member | :17:15. | :17:19. | |
of the Muslim Brotherhood has said that only a minority of the | :17:19. | :17:24. | |
Brotherhood leaders want to reach a peaceful solution. Japanese nuclear | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
bread later is say the Fukushima power plant is facing a new | :17:28. | :17:34. | |
emergency. -- nuclear regulators. They say if a solution cannot be | :17:34. | :17:41. | |
found, material could spill into the Pacific Ocean. Germany's Olympic | :17:41. | :17:45. | |
Sports Union has demanded the publication of a study which alleges | :17:45. | :17:49. | |
that West Germany engaged in the doping of athletes in the 1970s. If | :17:49. | :17:56. | |
true, it would lead to comparisons with East Germany, which is known to | :17:56. | :18:02. | |
have doped its athletes during the Cold War. The New Zealand dairy | :18:02. | :18:05. | |
company Fonterra has apologised to Chinese customers after a health | :18:05. | :18:10. | |
scare led to some of its baby milk products being recalled. The company | :18:10. | :18:14. | |
found that a bacteria which can cause botulism was in some of which | :18:14. | :18:19. | |
supplies. It is a worrying development for Chinese parents, who | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
had to go through another crisis about unsafe baby milk several years | :18:22. | :18:29. | |
ago. Martin Patience reports from Beijing. It is a decision Chinese | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
parents agonise over, what milk formula to buy for their babies. | :18:33. | :18:38. | |
Following safety scandals here, many turned to foreign brands, believing | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
they were safer. But now, New Zealand's biggest dairy company has | :18:41. | :18:46. | |
ordered a major recall. The chief executive of Fonterra flew into | :18:46. | :18:54. | |
Beijing to apologise. We really grabbed the distress and anxiety | :18:54. | :18:58. | |
which this might have caused. We totally understand the concern of | :18:58. | :19:05. | |
parents and other consumers around the world. Fonterra has issued a | :19:05. | :19:10. | |
recall in countries including Australia, Thailand, Malaysia and | :19:10. | :19:14. | |
Vietnam. Russia has reportedly banned some of the company's | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
imports, but China is its main market. It buys the vast majority of | :19:18. | :19:24. | |
its milk powder from New Zealand. Domestic brands are no good, and | :19:24. | :19:28. | |
now, foreign brands are the same, said this man. I have no idea what | :19:28. | :19:35. | |
to choose. Six babies died in China in 2008 after drinking contaminated | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
formula. Since then, Chinese parents have paid a premium for foreign baby | :19:39. | :19:44. | |
milk. Such has been the demand that some supermarkets in Britain | :19:44. | :19:50. | |
introduced rationing to stop supplies being shipped to China. | :19:50. | :19:55. | |
Fonterra says it hopes to have everything under control within 48 | :19:55. | :19:59. | |
hours, but winning back the trust of the Chinese public will take a good | :19:59. | :20:07. | |
deal longer than that. Staying with matters to do with food, how do you | :20:07. | :20:12. | |
like your beefburger watching Mark well done, medium or rare? Soon, | :20:12. | :20:22. | |
:20:22. | :20:22. | ||
there may be a new choice on the market. -- your beefburger - well | :20:22. | :20:28. | |
done, medium or rare? Today, the first burger made from artificially | :20:28. | :20:32. | |
grown meat was served up to food critics here in London. The Dutch | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
scientist behind the breakthrough said he hoped the technology would | :20:37. | :20:42. | |
help feed people around the world. Pallab Ghosh reports. Grown in the | :20:42. | :20:47. | |
lab and cooked in a pan, the world 's first synthetic hamburger, but | :20:47. | :20:52. | |
what does it taste like? There is some quite intense taste, it is | :20:52. | :21:00. | |
close to meat, it is not that juicy, but the consistency is perfect. | :21:00. | :21:06. | |
taster is a food writer, chosen by the organisers the burger started | :21:06. | :21:11. | |
off in this dish, as a few cells taken from a dead cow. They were | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
then grown into this pale white circles of muscle. Food | :21:14. | :21:20. | |
technologists then added Caravelle saffron and other things to make it | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
taste better, and beetroot juice to make it look of the right colour. -- | :21:24. | :21:34. | |
camera Mel, saffron and other things. It would be simpler for | :21:34. | :21:39. | |
people to eat less meat, and I would favour that, but meat consumption is | :21:39. | :21:45. | |
in fact increasing. In the UK, on average, each person eats AT | :21:45. | :21:50. | |
kilograms of meat a year, and that is likely to remain the same. There | :21:50. | :21:52. | |
is going to be rising demand internationally, by a growing | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
population, and more people wanting to eat meat in emerging nations such | :21:56. | :22:04. | |
as China. Currently, 258 million tonnes of meat is produced across | :22:04. | :22:09. | |
the world each year. In 2050, it is estimated that it will need to be | :22:09. | :22:18. | |
455 million tonnes. It is not necessarily about producing more | :22:18. | :22:23. | |
food, but it is about changing the systems of supply, affordability and | :22:23. | :22:27. | |
accessibility, so that not just more food but better food gets to the | :22:27. | :22:32. | |
people who need it. Even those behind this project admit that their | :22:32. | :22:39. | |
meat will never taste as good as the real thing. But they say that as | :22:39. | :22:43. | |
prices rise, and animal welfare and environmental concerns increase, | :22:43. | :22:48. | |
their way is the only ethical and pragmatic way forward. Researchers | :22:48. | :22:52. | |
say it will be at least ten years before they perfect their burger, | :22:52. | :22:57. | |
and the first lab-grown meat will be on sale. Alex Renton is a food | :22:57. | :23:02. | |
policy journalist, also the author of Planet Carnivore, which looks at | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
the future of meat eating. He joins us now from Edinburgh. Once you get | :23:06. | :23:11. | |
past that yuk factor, do you think this could be the food of the | :23:11. | :23:16. | |
future? I think it could be one of the foods of the future. There is no | :23:16. | :23:21. | |
reason why everyone should eat it. But I certainly think it can fill in | :23:21. | :23:30. | |
a whole, where cheap meat is, and meat is an amazingly expensive | :23:30. | :23:34. | |
substance, in terms of planetary resources. Is there not something | :23:34. | :23:38. | |
slightly abhorrent in producing something from the stem cells of a | :23:38. | :23:48. | |
:23:48. | :23:54. | ||
dead cow? . Well, I am a meat eater, and far more abhorrent to me is what | :23:54. | :23:57. | |
goes on every day to millions of animals in factory farms around the | :23:57. | :24:03. | |
world. That involves terrible cruelty, really just in order to | :24:04. | :24:08. | |
produce the cheapest possible meat. One great promise in this is that no | :24:08. | :24:15. | |
animals whatsoever will suffer. we retire the world's hours and | :24:15. | :24:18. | |
leave them to Cherry on chewing their card, and take their milk and | :24:18. | :24:28. | |
:24:28. | :24:34. | ||
not eat them at all? -- to Cherry on chewing their cud. -- carry on. No, | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
I think what is far more likely is that we will not be shipping | :24:38. | :24:43. | |
products across the world. The cheap end of the animal protein market, | :24:43. | :24:49. | |
the people who at the moment are fed in quite disgusting ways, often from | :24:49. | :24:51. | |
recovered meat, from animal carcasses which have been pressure | :24:51. | :24:56. | |
hosed, this new technology will supply that end of the market. Those | :24:56. | :25:01. | |
of us who want to eat expensive, grass fed beef, can do so in the | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
traditional manner. If you had been asked to go and being that food | :25:05. | :25:11. | |
taster today, would you have agreed to do it? I would have loved to have | :25:11. | :25:21. | |
:25:21. | :25:23. | ||
tried it. But for those meat connoisseurs, do you think it really | :25:23. | :25:33. | |
:25:33. | :25:34. | ||
can mimic the taste of beef? No, I do not think it ever will. But one | :25:34. | :25:37. | |
of those journalists today was trying out a prototype, he never | :25:37. | :25:41. | |
said it was what he hoped to produce. It had no fat in it, which | :25:41. | :25:46. | |
is ridiculous, because all of the taste in meat comes from that. It | :25:46. | :25:49. | |
was just straight muscle tissue, which will not taste anything at | :25:49. | :25:54. | |
all. But 20 years down the line, I think there will be something which | :25:54. | :25:58. | |
will convince a lot of people. But at the moment, if you eat a cheap | :25:58. | :26:03. | |
sausage or a burger, which might have horse meat in it, that is a lot | :26:03. | :26:08. | |
of dubious stuff on it, and if you saw it on the animal's bones, you | :26:08. | :26:18. | |
:26:18. | :26:23. | ||
would not think there was meat on it. A reminder of our main news. | :26:23. | :26:28. | |
Protests in Turkey, as a five-year trial of 275 soldiers, journalists | :26:28. | :26:36. | |
and academics ends in a string lengthy string of prison sentences. | :26:36. | :26:41. | |
The former head of the Turkish military, General Basbug, was | :26:41. | :26:46. | |
sentenced to life in prison, as were several other former army generals. | :26:46. | :26:51. | |
Outside the courthouse, police fired water cannon at protesters. That is | :26:51. | :27:01. | |

Isles, it really has been a wash-out tonight. But the rest of the week | :27:05. | :27:10. | |
could not be more different. Tomorrow, much drier. Here is the | :27:10. | :27:15. | |
culprit for that wet weather, which badly affected the south-west of | :27:15. | :27:21. | |
England, Wales, and Scotland on Monday. By Tuesday, it will have | :27:21. | :27:28. | |
made way for much clearer conditions. Still some long spells | :27:28. | :27:36. | |
of sunshine tomorrow afternoon. East Anglia and the south-east, in the | :27:37. | :27:46. | |
sunshine, temperatures getting up to about 23. What a big difference, | :27:46. | :27:49. | |
though, for the south-west of England, the Midlands and Wales. The | :27:49. | :27:54. | |
torrential downpours are gone, replaced by sunny spells, light | :27:54. | :27:58. | |
winds, with temperatures getting up into the low 20s. Northern Ireland | :27:58. | :28:03. | |
could have a bit more cloud on Tuesday, with isolated showers. But | :28:03. | :28:13. |
