This is BBC World News Today with me, Philippa Thomas. A deadly double | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
bombing in Beirut targets the Iranian embassy there. Is Syria's | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
war spilling over the border into Lebanon? | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
The 23 killed in the massive bomb attack include an Iranian diplomat, | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
as a group linked to Al-Qaeda claims responsibility. | :00:21. | :00:29. | |
TRANSLATION: They weren't fighters face to face, so they use suicide | :00:30. | :00:34. | |
bombers. -- they won't fight us face to face. Let them face us, we are | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
ready. Six months' worth of rain floods | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
through the Mediterranean island of Sardinia - Italy's Prime Minister | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
declares a state of emergency. There is another bridge over there, | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
we are told that the water swept over the top. People say it must | :00:49. | :00:50. | |
have been eight or nine metres high. Also coming up: The latest on the | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
dozens still trapped as a South African shopping mall collapses on | :00:55. | :00:56. | |
construction workers. The world's largest refugee camp in | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
Northern Kenya - why so many refugees from Somalia do not want to | :01:00. | :01:05. | |
go home. We report from there. And why taking a photo like these | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
fine examples has become the Oxford English Dictionary's word of the | :01:09. | :01:27. | |
year. Hello and welcome. A deadly double | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
bombing at the Iranian embassy in the Lebanese capital Beirut has | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
killed at least 23 people. Lebanese officials say the first attacker was | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
a suicide bomber on a motorcycle. The second was in a four-wheel drive | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
vehicle. This is one of the worst attacks in southern Beirut since the | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
war across the border in Syria began. And significantly, it is the | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
first attack on an Iranian target, with the embassy's cultural attache | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
among the dead. Iran is a major backer of Syria's | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
President Assad and of Hezbollah, the Lebanese Shia militant group | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
which has sent fighters to Syria to back Assad's government. | :02:00. | :02:08. | |
In fact, one of the most bitterly fought skirmishes of the Syrian | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
civil war came in June, when Hezbollah and Syrian government | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
forces recaptured the town of Qusair, very close to the Lebanese | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
border, after weeks of intense clashes. | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
To many, the Syrian conflict - and the increasing sectarian attacks in | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
both Lebanon and Iraq - represents a proxy war being fought by two of the | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
region's biggest powers, Iran and Saudi Arabia. | :02:30. | :02:31. | |
The BBC's Middle East correspondent Paul Wood reports now on the day's | :02:32. | :02:41. | |
events, and the potential fallout. First, a man wearing a suicide belts | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
rushed to the outer wall of the embassy and detonated. Next came a | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
car bomb. That may have been a suicide attack, too. I would this is | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
said Rainey and guards rushed out after the first blast and were | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
killed in the second -- Iranians guards rushed out. It appears that | :03:03. | :03:13. | |
many bystanders died as well. Saudis and Jews, says this woman, the | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
standard demon graffiti in Shi'ite south Beirut. But it is more likely | :03:19. | :03:25. | |
that this was linked to Iran's support for the Syrian regime. Maybe | :03:26. | :03:33. | |
it is a message. We are trying to say that everybody is convinced that | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
the solution in Syria is political. Who did this now, I think, has not | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
come up with a solution. The attack could be linked to this. Syrian | :03:46. | :03:52. | |
rebels are under pressure from a regime offensive. Their last supply | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
routes into Lebanon are close to being cut off. | :03:59. | :04:07. | |
Refugees are fleeing over the border. They are coming from areas | :04:08. | :04:14. | |
that have been held by the rebels for two years. To accomplish this, | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
the regime is getting help from Iran. The Syrian rebels have vowed | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
revenge. Both sides have their proxies in Lebanon. More violence | :04:24. | :04:30. | |
seems inevitable. TRANSLATION: These people weren't | :04:31. | :04:32. | |
TRANSLATION: These people weren t fighters face-to-face. So they use | :04:33. | :04:39. | |
suicide bombers. Let them face us, we are ready. This isn't the first | :04:40. | :04:49. | |
time that the Civil War in Syria has reached over the border to cause | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
mayhem in Lebanon. It is not the first time there has been an attack | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
in Shi'ite south Beirut, but everybody knows that an attack on | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
Iranian target is different and everybody will be waiting and | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
watching anxiously to see what the consequences of such an attack will | :05:07. | :05:07. | |
be. With me is Edgard Jallad. He's the | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
BBC's Arabic TV editor and was born in Beirut. | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
One of the first things you said upon seeing this is it is a message | :05:18. | :05:24. | |
being sent, but what is the message? There are different layers in this | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
message. Such bombings are not staged for just a simple message. | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
There will be more than one message. The first one could be | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
related to the role of are named Syria. This is a major role which is | :05:38. | :05:44. | |
affecting the whole region. -- the first one could be related to the | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
role of Iran in Syria. The second layer could be that Iran is getting | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
closer to an agreement about its nuclear programme with the United | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
States. We have heard condemnation by secretary Ceri moments ago. - by | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
by secretary Ceri moments ago. -- by secretary John Kerry. He described | :06:04. | :06:11. | |
it as a terrorist attack. This will push some countries to be | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
uncomfortable and unhappy about what has happened. These countries are | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
very well-known. Israel is not happy. The Iranians openly accused | :06:20. | :06:27. | |
Israel about this. The other part, and we have heard it a lot do the | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
experts, they are accusing Saudi Arabia, for example, because it is | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
not happy about this deal between Iran and the United States. I don't | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
want to simplify massively, but if you talk about relative bands of | :06:42. | :06:48. | |
power on Shia/ Sunni tensions, we are driving down to that? It all | :06:49. | :06:57. | |
relates to the big conflict tween them and the balance of power. An | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
agreement between Iran and the United States is a big punch to this | :07:01. | :07:07. | |
balance of power. The Saudis are really worried about the future. By | :07:08. | :07:13. | |
seeing around sealing a deal with the United States. What about us? -- | :07:14. | :07:20. | |
by seeing Iran sealing a deal. Lebanon is already reeling from the | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
refugees fleeing from Syria, now this violence in Beirut again, there | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
must be a fear of more? Cause, Lebanon has always been a regional | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
mailbox will big messages between superpowers. It is not new, it has | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
been there since the 70s, including the Cold War between the Soviet | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
Union and the United States. It went through the war, this is not new. It | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
is unfortunate for this tiny country the size of Wales here in the United | :07:50. | :07:57. | |
Kingdom. But at least what we have heard as reactions throughout the | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
day, politicians from all parties, they are trying to absorb what | :08:03. | :08:08. | |
happens and to avoid seeing a, seeing it leading to a bigger | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
internal conflict. Kos at the motions are unleashed between the | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
Sunnis and the sheer, there will be another terrible war. -- the Sunnis | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
and the Shia. It has been contained so far. This element has always been | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
there since the spill-over of the Syrian crisis into Lebanon. You | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
mention the refugees and the interference, but so far it is not | :08:33. | :08:39. | |
in the interest of any Lebanese party to get involved all to live | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
the repercussions of the Syrian crisis. Thank you for coming in | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
A cyclone has struck the Mediterranean island of Sardinia, | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
killing at least 18 people. Among the dead was a family of four and a | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
police officer who drowned when his car was swept away as he was | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
escorting an ambulance. Around six months' worth of rain fell in about | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
an hour and a half. The BBC's Matthew Price is in Sardinia and | :09:04. | :09:10. | |
sent this report. They have seen nothing like it in | :09:11. | :09:16. | |
decades in this normally Sunkist holiday-makers' paradise. It was, | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
said one official, apocalyptic. Cyclone Cleopatra poured almost half | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
a metre of water down on this island in one day. It is what they expect | :09:27. | :09:37. | |
here in six months. It is the second time. First we had the fire, now it | :09:38. | :09:45. | |
is water. Look at this mess. We followed some officials down one | :09:46. | :09:51. | |
Blocked Rd as the rain started to fall again - not what they need | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
Around the corner, this is what the cyclone had done. There was, we are | :09:55. | :10:02. | |
told, a war of Tongaat a wall of water. -- there was, we are told, a | :10:03. | :10:13. | |
wall of water. We are told that water swept right the way over the | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
top. People here say it must have been eight or nine metres high. | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
Thousands have been evacuated from their homes, with search and rescue | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
teams still trying to reach all the affected areas. A family of four | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
drowned as the water flooded their home. Ridges collapsed, three died | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
when their car was crushed under one. -- bridges collapsed. A mother | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
and daughter were killed as their vehicle was swept away in a raging | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
torrent. There are roadblocks across the northern half of the island, | :10:46. | :10:48. | |
the northern half of the island making the emergency response even | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
more difficult. TRANSLATION: There is a crater down | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
the road. We are still expecting more bad weather. The road could | :10:57. | :11:02. | |
collapse at any time. The government held an emergency | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
meeting this morning, setting aside 20 million new rose to help pay for | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
the temporary housing and rebuilding that is urgently needed -- setting | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
aside 20 million euros. In South Africa, at least two people | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
are reported to have died after the roof of a shopping mall that was | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
under construction collapsed nea rthe east coast city of Durban. | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
About forty others, believed to be building workers, are still said to | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
be trapped under the rubble. The BBC's Milton Nkosi is following | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
the story from Johannesburg. What we know is that in Tongaat, 40 | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
What we know is that in Tongaat 40 kilometres north of Durban, a | :11:40. | :11:48. | |
construction area which was a building construction which was | :11:49. | :11:51. | |
going to be a more has collapsed. Some emergency officials are | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
describing it as the size of a rugby field that has collapsed. We know | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
that at least 29 people have been injured, some of them critically, | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
and they have been airlifted to local hospitals. We know that | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
emergency services, over 100 of them with rescue teams, are on the scene | :12:11. | :12:16. | |
as we speak with sniffer dogs and using the jaws of life to try to | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
reach to those who are trapped underneath the rubble. We hear that | :12:21. | :12:28. | |
at least 50 of those trapped maybe construction workers who were | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
working on this construction site, which was believed to be a more of | :12:32. | :12:37. | |
about 15,000 square metres. -- believed to the a mall of. | :12:38. | :12:44. | |
Now a look at some of the day's other news. | :12:45. | :12:45. | |
Police in the Egyptian capital, Cairo, have fired tear gas at | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
anti-military demonstrators in clashes between supporters and | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
opponents of the army. It's the second anniversary of a major | :12:52. | :12:53. | |
confrontation between the security forces and demonstrators in which | :12:54. | :12:54. | |
more than 40 people were killed. more than 40 people were killed | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
The Spanish Ambassador in London has been summoned by the UK Government | :12:59. | :13:01. | |
to explain reports a Spanish ship illegally entered the British port | :13:02. | :13:04. | |
of Gibraltar. The crew of the ship claimed it was carrying out survey | :13:05. | :13:07. | |
work with permission from the Spanish authorities. The British | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
Foreign Office called it a provocative incursion. | :13:11. | :13:21. | |
Parliamentarians in Strasbourg have approved the first spending cut in | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
the history of the European Union. After two years of haggling, | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
approval was given for the long-term approval was given for the long term | :13:28. | :13:31. | |

affect spending on poorer areas Hundreds of police in Paris are | :13:44. | :13:46. | |
still hunting a gunman who attacked the head offices of a newspaper and | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
a bank, leaving one man critically wounded. The gunman disappeared | :13:51. | :13:52. | |
after forcing a motorist to help him escape. New CCTV images have been | :13:53. | :13:55. | |
issued today, as Christian Fraser reports from Paris. | :13:56. | :14:04. | |
A new photographs, and is now a much clearer picture of the man police | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
are hunting. Here is another, the gunman sitting at a Metro station. | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
Police have had 400 calls from the public already, 120, said the | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
prosecutor, they are taking seriously. This is the film on | :14:19. | :14:26. | |
Friday from the headquarters of the 24-hour News Channel. He threatened | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
staff with a gun but without firing. It was the warning. At the offices | :14:31. | :14:39. | |
of the newspaper Liberation, yesterday he shot a | :14:40. | :15:22. | |
the police are on stand-by at Metro stations and at the annual Christmas | :15:23. | :15:30. | |
market. Those who came into contact with the Government described the | :15:31. | :15:33. | |
anger and intensity on his face and it is fair to say they said he | :15:34. | :15:43. | |
wanted to kill. There is a discernible sense of urgency on the | :15:44. | :15:49. | |
part of the authorities. Memories are fresh in France of a similar | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
manhunt last year. The gunman killed seven people in ten days. | :15:55. | :16:00. | |
The recovery effort in the Philippines is picking up momentum. | :16:01. | :16:03. | |
It is ten days since the devastating super typhoon hit the country and | :16:04. | :16:09. | |
aid is finally starting to reach even the most remote areas. But | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
there is increasing criticism of the Government's slow response. Rajesh | :16:15. | :16:21. | |
Mirchandani has been to a makeshift hospital near Tacloban, one of the | :16:22. | :16:30. | |
worst hit areas. Some of these people have been waiting in line for | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
more than three hours. They are not waiting for food or water, they are | :16:36. | :16:41. | |
waiting for medical help. This is a field hospital run jointly by the | :16:42. | :16:44. | |
Belgians and the Journal that Germans. It is the only hospital in | :16:45. | :16:52. | |
this area. Every day they see 2 0 people in this facility. When they | :16:53. | :16:58. | |
get in this is the first ten. People get their symptoms checked. Then | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
they are taken further down into the facility. They also check for | :17:04. | :17:09. | |
infectious diseases. People have been living in not sanitary | :17:10. | :17:16. | |
conditions. This is a classic time when epidemics could spread. In this | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
treatment room there is a man who has had a wound on his finger and it | :17:21. | :17:26. | |
looks pretty nasty. They are telling me he has been in once before, but | :17:27. | :17:31. | |
this is a checkup three days later. What is wrong with this guy? He has | :17:32. | :17:38. | |
a big wound on his finger, but this is manageable. That is without | :17:39. | :17:47. | |
stitching and surgery. This has to be a fully, self-contained facility. | :17:48. | :17:53. | |
This is the pharmacy that gets regularly restock. There are eight | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
doctors and 24 nurses. There is an operating theatre and they have seen | :17:59. | :18:03. | |
all sorts of things. Just the other day they had their first baby born | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
at the mother called him Gregory. Nearly half a million Somalis live | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
in Dadaab, a refugee camp in northern Kenyan. 10,000 of them are | :18:13. | :18:19. | |
third-generation refugees and for most of them Dadaab is home. But how | :18:20. | :18:24. | |
many of them would return to build their lives in Somalia? Gabriel | :18:25. | :18:31. | |
Gatehouse sent us this report. An official in the camp has told me | :18:32. | :18:38. | |
that fewer than 100 people out of a total of 350,000 have asked to go | :18:39. | :18:42. | |
back. One of the reasons people are so reluctant is this, this primary | :18:43. | :19:02. | |
school. More than 2500 A lot of parents believe their children would | :19:03. | :19:05. | |
not get an opportunity if they went back to Somalia. This man has 21 | :19:06. | :19:08. | |
back to Somalia. This man has 2 Jordan. Three wives and 21 children, | :19:09. | :19:15. | |
almost all of whom were born at Dadaab. For them this is not a | :19:16. | :19:21. | |
refugee camp. For better or worse it is home. TRANSLATION: When I talk to | :19:22. | :19:28. | |
my children about going back to Somalia they get scared. They think | :19:29. | :19:34. | |
it is a mad idea. They cannot go back to Somalia, so the only hope | :19:35. | :19:40. | |
they have is education. Dadaab is the largest refugee camp | :19:41. | :19:42. | |
anywhere in the world. Since 1991, anywhere in the world. Since 19 1, | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
when Somalia collapsed into anarchy, hundreds of them lead and ended up | :19:48. | :19:54. | |
here. But also some troublemakers and extremists have come. One day | :19:55. | :20:00. | |
last month a group of local men gathered to watch a football match | :20:01. | :20:06. | |
on television. At about nine o'clock gunman came in and sprayed fire and | :20:07. | :20:10. | |
bullets indiscriminately into the crowd. Nobody was killed, but six | :20:11. | :20:15. | |
were injured and one is still in hospital. They are worried. At night | :20:16. | :20:25. | |
time nobody comes. We close and we are very afraid. Why do you think | :20:26. | :20:34. | |
they attack? Without asking as they started shooting as with bullets. | :20:35. | :20:41. | |
Some Kenyan politicians have said Dadaab has become a nursery for | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
extremists and it is time the people here went home. On the ground things | :20:46. | :20:50. | |
seem to be carrying on very much as usual. This timber merchant is | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
continuing to parcel out bits of wood that will be used in yet more | :20:56. | :21:02. | |
constructions. Dadaab seems to be becoming more permanent by the day. | :21:03. | :21:09. | |
Have you ever taken a selfie? You will be in good company if you have, | :21:10. | :21:14. | |
like this Japanese astronaut at the International Space Station, or | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
Hillary Clinton or even the Pope and the US president. Oxford dictionary | :21:20. | :21:27. | |
defines a selfie as a photograph taken by oneself, taken by a | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
smartphone or a webcam and uploaded to a social media website. Today | :21:33. | :21:38. | |
they have confirmed it is the Word of the Year. With me is Richard | :21:39. | :21:41. | |
Holden, the online editor for Oxford dictionaries. Why did that one | :21:42. | :21:49. | |
appeal? Every year there is a big discussion and argument, but this | :21:50. | :21:55. | |
year it was obvious. When we looked at monitoring new words we saw it | :21:56. | :22:02. | |
had a year on year increase about 10,000%, so it was an obvious | :22:03. | :22:07. | |
candidate. It was staring you in the face? It has two say something about | :22:08. | :22:14. | |
the year and it defines the year. And looking at some of the ones that | :22:15. | :22:20. | |
did not make it. What about showrooming? It is where you go into | :22:21. | :22:25. | |
a shop and look at the products and go home and buy them cheaper online. | :22:26. | :22:32. | |
We are going to find out whether people recognised the words you were | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
considering. Our reporter went out to find out whether people | :22:37. | :22:44. | |
recognised these words. To watch a whole season of a television show. | :22:45. | :22:52. | |
American, they get it. To binge watch? Meat from the street? If I | :22:53. | :23:05. | |
said you could do this on the street, what do you think that would | :23:06. | :23:15. | |
mean? I could go home and I might. Ladies and gentlemen, she has got | :23:16. | :23:22. | |
it. Yes, we know what it is. But I am not going to do it. Put your hand | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
up if you know what twerking is. am not going to do it. Put your hand | :23:27. | :23:32. | |
up if you know what twerking is But will we be talking about them in a | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
few years time. Some words last like carbon footprint. Some of them are | :23:37. | :23:48. | |
rather transient. Becoming Word of the Year does not mean that it will | :23:49. | :23:54. | |
ever be in the dictionary. We look at a bit more longevity than that. | :23:55. | :24:00. | |
It could disappear without trace. But when you look at carbon | :24:01. | :24:07. | |
footprint they have become something to do with academic discourse. Some | :24:08. | :24:13. | |
of them are trivial. There is a real mix between the technical and the | :24:14. | :24:19. | |
mock local. What does the word selfie say about society? Does it | :24:20. | :24:26. | |
mean we are all rather vain? It could be, but people have | :24:27. | :24:30. | |
commissioned self portraits for years. It is easier now than ever, | :24:31. | :24:35. | |
thanks to technology. Is it something you do as well? Yes, all | :24:36. | :24:44. | |
the time. I never have. If you are on social media, it is what you do. | :24:45. | :24:52. | |
You put yourself on the scene. Did the argument get heated. I imagine | :24:53. | :24:55. | |
all of you are terribly well mannered. In our well mannered way | :24:56. | :25:01. | |
we usually have arguments, but this year selfie was the obvious choice | :25:02. | :25:07. | |
and it was a lot less fraught than in previous years. There was also | :25:08. | :25:14. | |
twerking, bitcoin. Some of them are not going to make it. I am told | :25:15. | :25:21. | |
there is a new mammal living in the cloud forest. The first mammal found | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
in the Western Hemisphere, which is why it was thought to be | :25:27. | :25:29. | |
significant, but it was always going to lose out to selfie. Some | :25:30. | :25:38. | |
important news. British comedy veterans Monty Python are set to | :25:39. | :25:44. | |
reunite for a new show. This is their first major collaboration in | :25:45. | :25:48. | |
30 years. It will come in the form of a theatre show and it will be on | :25:49. | :25:55. | |
stage. They want a cult following with their madcap television series | :25:56. | :26:00. | |
between 1969 and 1974, including this dead parrot sketch. All five | :26:01. | :26:06. | |
surviving members, who are now in their 70s, will be returning for the | :26:07. | :26:11. | |
show. A double Banning near the Iranian | :26:12. | :26:15. | |
embassy in the Lebanese capital of Beirut has killed more than 20 | :26:16. | :26:21. | |
people, wounding 150. A news agency in Iran has confirmed a cultural | :26:22. | :26:26. | |
attache was among the dead. A Lebanese Sunni group linked to | :26:27. | :26:31. | |
Al-Qaeda said it was behind the attacks. The Foreign Minister said | :26:32. | :26:35. | |
it was a warning that the region's worsening security needs to be dealt | :26:36. | :26:40. | |
with. From me and the rest of the team, thanks for staying with us. | :26:41. | :26:56. | |
There will be an early frost tonight ahead of some wet and windy weather | :26:57. | :27:03. | |
that is sweeping us overnight and into tomorrow. The strong wind will | :27:04. | :27:09. | |
exacerbate the cold. The rain could be quite happy for a while. There | :27:10. | :27:14. | |
will be snow over the Scottish mountains. That rain sweeps | :27:15. | :27:19. | |
southwards and there is some intense rain over a short period of time. | :27:20. | :27:25. | |
Though showers may be a touch wintry over the Pennines. | :27:26. | :27:28. |
