:00:00. > :00:11.This is BBC World News Today. The United States says Nigeria's
:00:12. > :00:17.president has welcomed an offer of expert American help to recover the
:00:18. > :00:19.hundreds of abducted schoolgirls. Eight more girls have been taken
:00:20. > :00:30.from a village in north-east Nigeria. The US has offered to send
:00:31. > :00:33.a team to help find them. A day before South Africa's election
:00:34. > :00:37.what are the challenges for the biggest party, the ANC?
:00:38. > :00:42.I have been talking to the elders of Nelson Mandela's children who
:00:43. > :00:49.defends the ANC against its critics who say it's not done enough to help
:00:50. > :00:52.the poor. Also coming up: It may look
:00:53. > :00:57.harmonious, but we give you the inside story on the epic power
:00:58. > :01:05.struggles under way in China. The veneer of harmony is paper-thin. The
:01:06. > :01:09.fight to take down him is bitter. And, what if humans were just a few
:01:10. > :01:12.inches tall? An American teenager uses some photography tricks to
:01:13. > :01:23.bring to life a world of tiny people.
:01:24. > :01:29.Hello and welcome. The Islamist militants, Boko Haram,
:01:30. > :01:32.have kidnapped eight more girls from a village in northern Nigeria - an
:01:33. > :01:35.attack carried out as international outrage grows about the group's
:01:36. > :01:41.declared plans to sell several hundred schoolgirls into slavery.
:01:42. > :01:47.This latest kidnapping happened on Sunday night in the village of
:01:48. > :01:50.Warabe, in Borno state. The girls taken were between 12 and
:01:51. > :01:53.15-years-old. It follows the abduction of more than 200
:01:54. > :01:57.schoolgirls by Boko Haram three weeks ago. They were taken from a
:01:58. > :02:01.school in the town of Chibok - that's an hour's flight away from
:02:02. > :02:04.the capital Abuja. It's thought they are being held by members of the
:02:05. > :02:08.Islamist group in their stronghold in the Sambisa Forest. But Boko
:02:09. > :02:12.Haram has threatened to sell them into slavery and, as you can see,
:02:13. > :02:16.their stronghold in the forest is close to the border with Chad and
:02:17. > :02:22.Cameroon - showing how easy it could be for the girls to disappear. We'll
:02:23. > :02:28.talk to the UN about this, but first the BBC's Tomi Oladipo has the
:02:29. > :02:32.latest on our developing story. They promised to keep protesting
:02:33. > :02:36.until the schoolgirls were found. And true to their word, today saw
:02:37. > :02:41.another march on the streets of Abuja. They are demanding the
:02:42. > :02:46.government do more to find the girls who were snatched from their school
:02:47. > :02:51.in north-east Nigeria three weeks' ago. Now, fresh reports have emerged
:02:52. > :02:56.of another abduction in Borno state. Police and residents of Warabe
:02:57. > :03:01.village say gunmen arrived in trucks taking with them eight girls.
:03:02. > :03:04.Nigerians are growing impatient with their government and its failure to
:03:05. > :03:08.prevent such attacks despite having a state of emergency in the
:03:09. > :03:12.north-east. The Finance Minister has defended the government's efforts.
:03:13. > :03:16.For the past three weeks, the government has been following up
:03:17. > :03:20.every lead using aerial surveys, using all the things at its
:03:21. > :03:24.disposal. The problem was that we never communicated it well. Despite
:03:25. > :03:28.the government's insistence that it is winning the war against the
:03:29. > :03:32.Islamists, this year has been the bloodiest since the conflict began.
:03:33. > :03:36.The horror stories are becoming all too common and people are wondering
:03:37. > :03:40.how much longer this will go on for. Those concerns are being reflected
:03:41. > :03:44.in the international community. The UK has joined the US to offer
:03:45. > :03:48.support. We are offering practical help. What has happened here that
:03:49. > :03:53.the actions of Boko Haram in using girls as the spoils of war, the
:03:54. > :03:58.spoils of terrorism, is disgusting, it is immoral, it should show
:03:59. > :04:06.everybody across the world that they should not give any support to such
:04:07. > :04:11.a vile organisation. The whereabouts of the schoolgirls remain unknown.
:04:12. > :04:16.Their captors say they will sell them, an agonising thought the
:04:17. > :04:24.girls' grieving families would never have imagined.
:04:25. > :04:27.You heard William Hague there. The United States and the United Kingdom
:04:28. > :04:30.have both offered the Nigerian government help in finding the
:04:31. > :04:33.abducted schoolgirls - and in the last hour the US State Department
:04:34. > :04:39.has confirmed that Nigeria's President, Goodluck Jonathan, has
:04:40. > :04:42.welcomed the assistance. President Jonathan welcomes Secretary Kerry's
:04:43. > :04:47.offer to send a team to Nigeria, to discuss how the United States can
:04:48. > :04:53.best support Nigeria in its response. In addition, our embassy
:04:54. > :04:57.is prepared to form a co-ordination cell, and this is what they
:04:58. > :05:01.discussed on the call, that could provide expertise on intelligence,
:05:02. > :05:06.investigations and hostage negotiations, help facilitate
:05:07. > :05:13.information sharing. It would include US military personnel, law
:05:14. > :05:18.enforcement officials as well as officials with expertise in other
:05:19. > :05:23.areas that may be helpful to the Nigerian government in its response.
:05:24. > :05:26.The President has directed that we and the Secretary and the State
:05:27. > :05:31.Department do everything we can to help the Nigerian government find
:05:32. > :05:34.and free these young women. The President Secretary Kerry had their
:05:35. > :05:39.regular meeting this afternoon and this will certainly be a prominent
:05:40. > :05:49.topic of discussion. Joining me via webcam from Geneva is
:05:50. > :05:53.Rupert Colville. Welcome to World News Today. Your reaction to what we
:05:54. > :05:56.have been hearing from the US State Department, they are eager to get
:05:57. > :06:02.this team sent to Nigeria as soon as possible? Well, it is good that
:06:03. > :06:07.people are rallying around Nigeria now. The true horror of the
:06:08. > :06:12.activities of Boko Haram are spreading wide across the world and
:06:13. > :06:16.people realise something needs to be done. And these poor girls, you
:06:17. > :06:23.know, more than 200, no-one knows the exact figure, but several weeks
:06:24. > :06:27.now they have been - since they have been abducted. You have been warning
:06:28. > :06:31.that the leaders of Boko Haram should be aware that they are
:06:32. > :06:37.committing crimes against humanity, they may have to pay for this in the
:06:38. > :06:45.years to come? Yes, absolutely. In international law, there is a pro hi
:06:46. > :06:54.bigs -- prohibition against sexual slavery. Under certain
:06:55. > :06:58.circumstances, these abductions could constitute crimes against
:06:59. > :07:02.humanity. We have been talking a lot about what the Nigerian government
:07:03. > :07:05.is doing, or failing to do in trying to get these girls back. What about
:07:06. > :07:12.the role of the local governments, the state governments? Well, I think
:07:13. > :07:16.that's been an issue because the - Nigeria is a federal state. The
:07:17. > :07:21.local states have a lot of power and a lot of operational abilities. And
:07:22. > :07:25.I think it is extremely important that the state authorities and the
:07:26. > :07:29.federal authorities co-operate fully and quite often, they are not from
:07:30. > :07:35.the same political party. So, that has been a concern raised in the
:07:36. > :07:40.case of Borno state. Has the UN been reaching out to neighbouring
:07:41. > :07:44.countries, to Chad and Cameroon, now we are hearing these rumours that
:07:45. > :07:52.some of the girls may have been taken over those borders? Yes, that
:07:53. > :07:56.was an issue the High Commissioner of the human rights - that was an
:07:57. > :08:00.issue she raised with the Nigerian government. There needed to be a
:08:01. > :08:05.regional approach to dealing with Boko Haram because they do seem to
:08:06. > :08:10.be flowing back and forwards across borders, getting safe havens in
:08:11. > :08:15.neighbouring countries and coming back. So, some kind of regional
:08:16. > :08:19.co-operation is essential and we offered to do what we could to help
:08:20. > :08:24.neighbouring countries come on board with Nigeria to combat this.
:08:25. > :08:34.Briefly, that is quite a challenge, isn't it? These borders are very
:08:35. > :08:38.porous? Yes, one would hope that everyone will be revolted by what's
:08:39. > :08:42.happened to these girls and even corrupt people should be a bit moved
:08:43. > :08:53.to do something about this. Boko Haram are really going totally
:08:54. > :08:57.beyond the pail. So, it is really something that anyone should be able
:08:58. > :09:01.to rally behind. Thank you very much.
:09:02. > :09:04.South Africans are getting ready to vote in the country's general
:09:05. > :09:07.elections on Wednesday, the fifth poll since the end of apartheid. An
:09:08. > :09:11.easy win is expected for the ruling African National Congress Party -
:09:12. > :09:13.but there's been a lot of criticism over its aggressive campaigning,
:09:14. > :09:20.with allegations that the ANC blocked opposition ads on South
:09:21. > :09:23.Africa's public broadcaster. It's 20 years since South Africa's first
:09:24. > :09:29.democratic election which saw the ANC, led by Nelson Mandela, came to
:09:30. > :09:32.power. Though the party is expected to win again, a series of political
:09:33. > :09:38.scandals, and a stagnating economy, means it may emerge weaker. At the
:09:39. > :09:42.moment, the ANC holds 264 of 400 seats in the National Assembly. The
:09:43. > :09:46.main opposition party, the Democratic Alliance, has 67. The
:09:47. > :09:52.third largest party is the Congress of the People. But there's a new
:09:53. > :09:54.player that's widely expected to make significant gains - the
:09:55. > :09:59.Economic Freedom Fighters led by Julius Malema following his
:10:00. > :10:02.expulsion from the ANC. Let's talk to World News Today's Zeinab Badawi,
:10:03. > :10:09.who's following the campaign in Johannesburg. Zeinab, over to you.
:10:10. > :10:15.Thank you very much. Well, it is four hours now until any kind of
:10:16. > :10:19.political campaigning has to come to an end because at 7.00am South
:10:20. > :10:24.Africans will go to the polls and polling stations are open until
:10:25. > :10:28.9.00pm. This is the most hotly contested election in the
:10:29. > :10:33.post-apartheid era. There was a record number of parties standing,
:10:34. > :10:40.not just the ones you outlined there. There are 20 parties in this
:10:41. > :10:44.election. That reflects the discontent that there is in the
:10:45. > :10:50.country with the ruling ANC, which is accused of failing to deliver for
:10:51. > :10:55.all its citizens after 20 years in power, people point to the lack of
:10:56. > :11:01.electricity, of course not enough jobs, unofficial rate is something
:11:02. > :11:09.like 25% unemployed. So, all in all, lots of criticisms being levelled at
:11:10. > :11:15.the ANC. Has it lost its mojo? I have been talking to the eldest of
:11:16. > :11:23.Nelson Mandela's children at her home. I put it to her, I said to
:11:24. > :11:28.her, "Does the ANC deserve to win?" It deserves to win the election. It
:11:29. > :11:35.is a party that fought hard for us to be where we are today. And I
:11:36. > :11:39.think with all the problems that we have, within the ANC, I still think
:11:40. > :11:43.it deserves to be the party that wins tomorrow. With all the problems
:11:44. > :11:53.within the ANC - what are you talking about? Well, it's an open
:11:54. > :11:57.secret that there are frictions, conflicts within the party. You
:11:58. > :12:05.know, in the last elections, there was a breakaway group... You are
:12:06. > :12:14.talking about a group of ANC members who are unhappy about the removal of
:12:15. > :12:20.Mbeki? Yes. It is public knowledge that a senior member... The former
:12:21. > :12:24.Defence Minister of the ANC? Yes. Made a call that people should not
:12:25. > :12:28.vote, or spoil their votes or whatever, which I think is
:12:29. > :12:34.irresponsible. I think however you want to look at it, it is a party
:12:35. > :12:40.that we still look very fondly. It has a history. Our parents paid with
:12:41. > :12:47.their lives. We as their children suffered a lot. I think that it is a
:12:48. > :12:51.party that has done quite a lot despite the challenges. We still
:12:52. > :12:55.have a lot of challenges. No-one will dispute this is the party of
:12:56. > :13:04.liberation. There are those who will say that is not enough anymore. 20
:13:05. > :13:06.years since your father became t first democratically elected
:13:07. > :13:10.President of South Africa. You need to reinvent yourselves? The ANC has
:13:11. > :13:18.tried. If you look at 20 years, where we are today, I think South
:13:19. > :13:24.Africa has a good story to tell. The way that we live today is better
:13:25. > :13:28.than what we lived - how we lived before. There is a lot of things
:13:29. > :13:34.that have changed. There's a lot of access for black people today. Yes,
:13:35. > :13:40.you can talk about the violence that we experience in South Africa, which
:13:41. > :13:43.is what people mostly called, but violence exists in many parts of the
:13:44. > :13:46.world. Progress has been made, nobody will dispute that. The
:13:47. > :13:51.government says three million new housing units have been built since
:13:52. > :13:56.they came to power, 300 new schools have replaced the mud ones. I put it
:13:57. > :14:00.to you that still, for example, the University of Cape Town last year in
:14:01. > :14:05.March, published a study which said that 12 million South Africans go to
:14:06. > :14:14.bed hungry every night, many of them children. Is that progress? Well, we
:14:15. > :14:20.can say... That is not saying much. That is progress from a very low
:14:21. > :14:27.base? But freedom in this country, we come from a very low base. We
:14:28. > :14:32.quickly forget where we come from in South Africa. Many more people did
:14:33. > :14:39.not have jobs. They couldn't live in the suburbs. They couldn't live in
:14:40. > :14:43.towns, just because... It doesn't mean they were out of poverty, they
:14:44. > :14:48.were still in poverty. We come from a violent... You still don't have
:14:49. > :14:58.jobs, official figures say 25% of the population is without work. Yes,
:14:59. > :15:07.but you can't expect miracles overnight.
:15:08. > :15:13.So, you get an idea there, although she is not an official spokesperson
:15:14. > :15:19.for the ANC, that that is how the ANC does defend its position and say
:15:20. > :15:25.you Captain expect us to fix huge problems -- say you can't expect us
:15:26. > :15:31.to fix huge problems overnight. In these elections, you need to look at
:15:32. > :15:35.turnout. In the 2009 elections, it was 77% - relatively high. Are
:15:36. > :15:39.people going to heed that vote "no" campaign and not vote as a way of
:15:40. > :15:43.registering their protest? And, secondly, 66% is what the ANC got in
:15:44. > :15:48.the last elections and in all the elections since the end of apartheid
:15:49. > :15:53.it has polled more than 60%. If it goes below that, if it wins, people
:15:54. > :15:57.will start asking questions all over the country within the ANC, even
:15:58. > :16:02.right at the top of their leadership, are we doing it right?
:16:03. > :16:06.What are we going to do now that basically the electorate may have
:16:07. > :16:10.given us a bloody nose if we go below that 60%? We will be watching
:16:11. > :16:14.and waiting to see what does happen in these elections, so that is it
:16:15. > :16:21.for the moment from me. Back to you in the studio. Thank you very much.
:16:22. > :16:23.Now a look at some of the day's other news: The
:16:24. > :16:26.former Egyptian army chief, Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi, has said the
:16:27. > :16:30.Muslim Brotherhood will no longer exist if he becomes president. Mr
:16:31. > :16:33.Sisi said that when he ousted the former Islamist president Mohamed
:16:34. > :16:36.Morsi in July last year, he had no political aspirations, but he had
:16:37. > :16:42.changed his mind because of threats from both inside and outside Egypt.
:16:43. > :16:45.The world's largest drinks-maker, Coca-Cola, says it will remove a
:16:46. > :16:49.controversial ingredient from some of its products by the end of this
:16:50. > :16:52.year. The move follows an American teenager's success in getting more
:16:53. > :16:55.than 200,000 signatures for an online petition, questioning the use
:16:56. > :17:04.of the chemical BVO - or Brominated Vegetable Oil - in the sports drink
:17:05. > :17:08.Powerade and some types of Fanta. Coca-Cola says all its ingredients
:17:09. > :17:12.meet regulatory requirements. A German collector who was found to
:17:13. > :17:16.have a vast collection of artworks including some looted by the Nazis
:17:17. > :17:19.has died at his home in Germany. Cornelius Gurlitt, who was 81, had
:17:20. > :17:23.just been released from hospital after major heart surgery. It
:17:24. > :17:26.emerged last year that he'd been keeping more than 1,000 paintings
:17:27. > :17:40.including works by Monet, Matisse and Chagall, at his flat in an
:17:41. > :17:43.ordinary apartment block in Munich. The BBC Trust Chairman is to stand
:17:44. > :17:46.down with immediate effect on health grounds. That is following major
:17:47. > :17:50.heart surgery. The former Conservative Minister and the last
:17:51. > :18:11.governor of Hong Kong before its handover has been at the head of the
:18:12. > :18:14.BBC Trust since 2011. Berlin's push for new peace talks
:18:15. > :18:25.was rebuffed by Russia, which said they would be pointless without the
:18:26. > :18:28.involvement of Ukraine's rebels. Speaking at a press conference with
:18:29. > :18:31.Japan's Prime Minister, NATO's Secretary General said the crisis
:18:32. > :18:35.was the biggest the organisation had faced in decades. Today we are
:18:36. > :18:43.facing the gravest crisis to European security since the end of
:18:44. > :18:47.the Cold War. But this is not just about Ukraine, this crisis has
:18:48. > :18:53.serious implications for the security and stability of the area
:18:54. > :18:56.as a whole. But while attention is focussed on
:18:57. > :18:59.Eastern Ukraine, there is unease in Kiev too, as the capital prepares
:19:00. > :19:03.for Victory Day - a holiday marking the defeat of Nazi Germany by the
:19:04. > :19:08.Soviet Union. The BBC's David Stern reports.
:19:09. > :19:12.This is a highway on the outskirts of Kiev leading to the east of
:19:13. > :19:16.Ukraine, where there is heavy fighting going on. As you can see,
:19:17. > :19:19.this is a checkpoint. There are nine of these all around the city and
:19:20. > :19:25.there are other checkpoints further on down the road. This one is being
:19:26. > :19:31.manned jointly by two groups. The police, as you can see, but there
:19:32. > :19:34.are also members of the self-defence units, the regular people who have
:19:35. > :19:38.been camping out in the centre of Kiev and they have formed their own
:19:39. > :19:44.protection groups and their own civilian police units. Now, they are
:19:45. > :19:49.looking at cars, that I are stopping not every car, mostly trucks and
:19:50. > :19:54.buses and larger vehicles and they are looking for weapons, explosives.
:19:55. > :19:59.They say they are worried about people trying to bring things in for
:20:00. > :20:06.provocations. Especially on the eve of the May 9th Victory Day. There
:20:07. > :20:10.will be big crowds. This is a major holiday. They are very worried, they
:20:11. > :20:15.say, about provocations and possible clashes on that day.
:20:16. > :20:20.In China, an epic power struggle is under way, but you wouldn't know it
:20:21. > :20:22.from the official media. The former security chief has disappeared, a
:20:23. > :20:27.victim of the Orwellian security apparatus he once controlled. He was
:20:28. > :20:30.once on the standing committee of the Communist Party politburo, but
:20:31. > :20:34.his name has not been mentioned in the media for seven months. Now,
:20:35. > :20:37.China is waiting to see whether the president has the strength to
:20:38. > :20:43.confine such a powerful enemy behind bars. Our China Editor Carrie Gracie
:20:44. > :20:49.reports on the fight and its implications.
:20:50. > :20:54.This family home is giving no secrets away to scandal hunters.
:20:55. > :20:57.Zhou Yongkang is still missing. Presumed victim of the Orwellian
:20:58. > :21:03.security system that he once controlled. National media no longer
:21:04. > :21:07.speak his name. But here in this village, he is still the favourite
:21:08. > :21:12.son. And no-one believes the story is about corruption.
:21:13. > :21:16.Their house is no better than the one next door, he says, there is no
:21:17. > :21:19.sign of luxury. These neighbours say it is all
:21:20. > :21:24.politics, a power struggle at the top of the Communist Party. This
:21:25. > :21:28.group point me towards the family graveyard and press me for the
:21:29. > :21:33.latest rumour on where Zhou Yongkang is being held.
:21:34. > :21:40.When he last came here a year ago, all the local dignitaries turned out
:21:41. > :21:44.to pay tribute. But not anymore. Chinese politics is a cruel game and
:21:45. > :21:48.even a couple of months ago when his brother died - you can see his name
:21:49. > :21:52.here in black - there were no key members of the family even at the
:21:53. > :21:57.funeral because they were all in detention. So, is it time to write
:21:58. > :22:00.Zhou Yongkang's political obituary? The farmer's son whose life journey
:22:01. > :22:03.got comfortable as he accelerated through party ranks, joining the
:22:04. > :22:06.limousine class, running an oil company, then a province of 80
:22:07. > :22:14.million and crowning his career with control of China's internal
:22:15. > :22:19.security. The veneer of harmony in the
:22:20. > :22:23.official press here is paper-thin. The fight to take down Zhou Yongkang
:22:24. > :22:26.is bitter. China's a political cycle which offers a new President no
:22:27. > :22:29.electoral mandate, so he uses corruption charges against an enemy
:22:30. > :22:36.to get his own people and policies into place.
:22:37. > :22:41.Strategists play this ancient game to improve their real-life tactics.
:22:42. > :22:45.The President has seized 300 of his enemy's pieces but the former
:22:46. > :22:48.security chief knows all his secrets and has tacit support from others
:22:49. > :22:56.who have made it rich in high office.
:22:57. > :23:01.TRANSLATION: They are all watching his next move. If he can bring Zhou
:23:02. > :23:09.down, they will have to obey him. If he is bluffing, they won't need to
:23:10. > :23:11.fear him. He will be a paper tiger. Fighting tigers - the President's
:23:12. > :23:14.own description of his anti-corruption campaign, to show
:23:15. > :23:18.the other tigers who's boss, to bend the government to his will on policy
:23:19. > :23:24.and to reassure the public that he is punishing the party's "fat cats."
:23:25. > :23:41.But cornered predators are dangerous so China waits uneasy for proof that
:23:42. > :23:44.this President has tamed his tiger. A home-schooled American teenager
:23:45. > :23:47.who likes to imagine the world from the angle of what he calls "little
:23:48. > :23:49.folk" has found his photo-editing project becoming an online
:23:50. > :23:51.sensation. Zev Hoover conceptualises, photographs and
:23:52. > :23:54.edits his visions before posting them online - and the 15-year-old
:23:55. > :24:00.who admits he's sometimes lonely has received a massive response.
:24:01. > :24:03.My name is Zev Hoover. I take pictures of miniature people and
:24:04. > :24:13.they have sort of exploded online recently. I wanted to improve my
:24:14. > :24:17.Photoshop skills so I started the "little folk" project which started
:24:18. > :24:21.as a way of getting better at Photoshop. After about a year of
:24:22. > :24:30.doing little folk pictures, they got picked up by some design blogs and
:24:31. > :24:34.then it sort of exploded. Nature is very important in my work and
:24:35. > :24:36.definitely inspires a lot of it and I think a lot of that comes from
:24:37. > :24:51.living where we do. My sister is very often the
:24:52. > :24:57.character in the pictures. Yeah, that's fine. Let me see what
:24:58. > :25:02.sort of background you'll be on. I find my inspiration a lot of the
:25:03. > :25:05.time just in the scenes that I photograph, so just thinking about
:25:06. > :25:08.how fun it would be, how different that would be to experience if you
:25:09. > :25:11.were, like, one-and-a-half or two inches tall because the world would
:25:12. > :25:21.be really an entirely different place.
:25:22. > :25:27.I certainly put a lot of myself into the characters because they almost
:25:28. > :25:30.always are doing some hobby I'm interested in, or somehow related to
:25:31. > :25:39.something I happen to be doing at the time. One of my most popular
:25:40. > :25:47.photographs is of me piloting a paper airplane.
:25:48. > :25:54.I think it's a popular picture because people like imagining. I
:25:55. > :25:58.make them for my own pleasure because I love making them but, at
:25:59. > :26:01.the same time, the comments and feedback certainly really encourages
:26:02. > :26:04.you to keep going because just knowing that people are passionate
:26:05. > :26:05.about it is incredible that someone else would care about my little
:26:06. > :26:19.project. But the internet has made the world
:26:20. > :26:23.a lot smaller, so anyone who is interested in this type of thing can
:26:24. > :26:26.now go on and just find my work that easily, whereas without the
:26:27. > :26:29.internet, it would be almost impossible, I would just be a kid
:26:30. > :26:31.taking pictures somewhere and no-one would know about it, maybe forever
:26:32. > :26:57.Don't Good evening. Most places managed to
:26:58. > :27:01.miss the showers today, but some northern parts of the UK will have
:27:02. > :27:05.fairly wet day tomorrow. In general terms, it will be another day of
:27:06. > :27:10.bright spells and showers. Some showers keep going overnight. In
:27:11. > :27:15.fact, some longer spells of rain is tied in with these weather fronts as
:27:16. > :27:19.they run across from west to east. Showers possible almost anywhere, a
