This is BBC World News Today with me, Kasia Madera. | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
Our top story - the first glimpse of Nigeria's abducted schoolgirls. | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
A video which appears to show more than 100 of them is released | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
Their leader says they will only be released | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
The polls close in the world's biggest democracy. | :00:23. | :00:37. | |
So is Narendra Modi about to become India's next Prime Minister ? | :00:38. | :00:43. | |
Also coming up, Ukraine's separatist leaders reach out to Russia. | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
But the government in Kiev calls their controversial | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
Hello and welcome. The militant Islamist group Boko Haram has | :00:50. | :01:24. | |
released a new video which it says shows some of the more than 200 | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
girls who were kidnapped from their school in Nigeria four weeks ago. | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
In the recording, the group's leader says the girls would not be freed | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
until its members had been released from prison. | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
The girls were taken from their school in Chibok in the North | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
Eastern state of Borno on the 14th of April. | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
Our World Affairs Editor John Simpson sent this report from nearby | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
136 girls, most Christian until a month ago, obediently chanting the | :01:50. | :02:12. | |
first part of the Koran dressed in Islamic headscarves. | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
If you look closely, not all of them are chancing. It is the first | :02:18. | :02:25. | |
sighting of them, yet more than half of the girls are not here, maybe | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
because they refused to convert or because of some other reason, we | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
don't know. One of the girls is led to the front and told to give a | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
Muslim name rather than her Christian one. She is clearly | :02:41. | :02:50. | |
frightened. In the video, Boko Haram's leader, | :02:51. | :02:57. | |
said to be Frank Bryant, clever and mocking, launches into a harangue. | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
-- said to be flamboyant. Translation-macro These girls, we | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
have liberated them. They have become Muslims, they are staying | :03:10. | :03:17. | |
with us. This man is desperate for news of | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
the girls. He has made the dangerous journey from Chibok, where they were | :03:22. | :03:28. | |
kidnapped. No fewer than six of his relatives were taken but he can't | :03:29. | :03:35. | |
spot in the video. This must be pretty shocking for you | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
to see this. It is one of the most shocking moments I have ever found | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
myself in. This is in human, it is not correct, it is unfair, there is | :03:47. | :03:53. | |
no need for them to impose on them the Islamic religion. Everybody has | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
the right to choose what religion to follow. | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
Politicians here are furious with the federal government. They say | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
that although Nigeria has one of Africa's biggest army is nothing | :04:06. | :04:07. | |
serious is being done to get the girls back. | :04:08. | :04:14. | |
They tell you they are doing their best but we as parents would only | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
say the government have done very well if the girls are back safe and | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
healthy. No politician travels anywhere here | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
without a heavily armed escort. This is a silent and frightened city. The | :04:31. | :04:37. | |
fact is, Boko Haram has the upper hand in Borno State as a whole and | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
its influence of power even here in the capital city is certainly | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
present. It looks as though the government down in Abuja simply does | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
not care about any of this, any more than it has put any effort at all | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
into searching for the missing girls. The question is, when Boko | :04:58. | :05:03. | |
Haram suggest a swap, those Christian girls who have refused to | :05:04. | :05:11. | |
convert in exchange for guerrillas captured by the government, could | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
this be the beginning of negotiation or is it just talk? | :05:15. | :05:22. | |
With me is the freelance journalist and academic Lizz Pearson, who's | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
written about Boko Haram and the abduction of women. And also with us | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
Zero Mackay look, this video appears to be genuine. Describe what we see. | :05:29. | :05:44. | |
The Boko Haram leader made it clear that the reason he decided to | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
release this video is because of the international outrage about the | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
kidnapping of these girls. It is genuine as far as we understand and | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
in this video he made it clear that he is ready, if the Nigerian | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
government is willing, to release Boko Haram prisoners, he is ready to | :06:04. | :06:12. | |
release the girls who have not converted to Islam. For those who, | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
he says, have decided to convert, they have now become their sisters | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
so he is not going to release them even if the government is releasing | :06:21. | :06:28. | |
Boko Haram prisoners. This video does not show all of the girls, we | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
believe it is just over a hundred of the over 200 kidnapped, and it seems | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
they are in the process of being converted to Islam. Yes, we count | :06:38. | :06:44. | |
about 130 girls in living the O. We had them reciting the first verse of | :06:45. | :06:52. | |
the Koran. -- 130 girls in the video. It is clear that the Koran is | :06:53. | :07:01. | |
trying to either force them or convince them to convert to Islam, | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
that is why we saw them wearing hijab, the full Islamic dress for | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
women, so I think Boko Haram is trying to force or convince those | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
girls to convert to Islam, while others who have not converted are | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
not in the video. The scale of what happened in Chibok is unprecedented | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
but Boko Haram have four main kidnapping schoolgirls, kidnapping | :07:27. | :07:36. | |
women. -- have form in kidnapping. Yes, this dates to 2011, 2012, when | :07:37. | :07:43. | |
the Nigerian police began to arrest wives and members of Boko Haram. The | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
leader says, you take are women, we will take your women, and he | :07:50. | :07:55. | |
threatens retaliation. -- you take our women. He wants to use them as | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
bartering chips to force the release of these women and other militants | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
who have been arrested. The conditions in which these women are | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
kept, how are they being treated? We have seen in other cases where women | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
have been released by have been unharmed, they were not badly | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
treated or injured, but we know that the Koran is also abducted women as | :08:21. | :08:31. | |
they flee. -- Boko Haram. They are forcing girls to convert if they are | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
Christian to Islam, they are raping them, forcing them into marriage, | :08:37. | :08:42. | |
using them to entice soldiers into positions where they can be | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
targeting. The women are not always well treated. -- they can be | :08:46. | :08:57. | |
targeted. The Nigerian government is saying it is reviewing all of its | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
options. It isn't -- under incredible treasure to do something. | :09:02. | :09:11. | |
-- it is under. We have the interior minister saying he finds it absurd | :09:12. | :09:20. | |
to talk to the organisation. What we understand is that minute -- the | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
Nigerian government in the past tried to reach out to Boko Haram, | :09:26. | :09:33. | |
they looked into ways of finding how to reach out to them, a report was | :09:34. | :09:40. | |
submitted and it suggested the government should set up another | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
committee that would work underground to reach out to | :09:45. | :09:47. | |
officials of Boko Haram but what we don't know now is whether the | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
government is doing something underground to reach out to them. I | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
think everything is possible at the moment. It seems the Nigerian | :09:57. | :10:03. | |
government's initial attempts to scare off Boko Haram by abducting | :10:04. | :10:10. | |
their wives has completely backfired. Yes, the strategy has | :10:11. | :10:20. | |
worked to some degree in the past, but the long-term security of women | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
living in these affected areas of Nigeria has to be a priority, | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
because they have been vulnerable, they have not been protected, and | :10:29. | :10:35. | |
this can't go on. We are out of time but thank you both very much for | :10:36. | :10:42. | |
coming in to speak to us. We will keep you updated when we hear no. -- | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
here more. Polls have closed in the final day | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
of India's six-week long voting process, with exit polls indicating | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
a victory for the opposition party BJP. Surveys also suggest the worst | :10:55. | :10:57. | |
ever performance by the governing Congress Party, but it's important | :10:58. | :11:00. | |
to remember that polls have been wrong in the past. Official results | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
are due out on Friday. Many key Election Commission figures show | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
that it was the highest ever turnout at 66%. Which means that just short | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
of 550 million Indians voted in these landmark elections. It's worth | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
remembering that a party or coalition needs a minimum of 272 | :11:17. | :11:22. | |
seats to form a majority government. So, what do we know so | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
far from today's exit polls? Well, my colleague Sanjoy Majumder is in | :11:27. | :11:29. | |
Delhi. It is important to stress that the | :11:30. | :11:42. | |
exit polls have been wrong before. That is right. Many people in India | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
don't take these polls seriously because they have been so inaccurate | :11:47. | :11:52. | |
in the past. In the last two elections they got it completely | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
wrong and they have often overestimated the BJP's performance. | :11:57. | :12:03. | |
Nevertheless, in the last few hours we have seen several exit polls | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
pointing to a dramatic victory for the BJP, suggesting that they will | :12:08. | :12:16. | |
cross the magic figure -- magic figure of 272, one poll suggesting | :12:17. | :12:22. | |
it will fall slightly short. It points to a massive defeat for the | :12:23. | :12:25. | |
Congress Party. We will have to wait until Friday to see how these | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
numbers stack up but one person who will be very pleased if it turns out | :12:30. | :12:35. | |
how it is being projected is the BJP leader, Modi. Many people believe he | :12:36. | :12:41. | |
is poised to take over the reins of the world's largest democracy. He | :12:42. | :12:50. | |
was in one of the country's most holy cities, from where my colleague | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
sent this report. The longest election in Indian | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
history is finally over and the organisers say it has set an even | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
more important record for turnout. I am happy to inform you that the | :13:04. | :13:14. | |
National voter turnout in this election is 66.38%, the highest ever | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
in the history of Indian national elections. | :13:20. | :13:26. | |
This is the man now being tipped to become in the's next prime minister | :13:27. | :13:39. | |
Modi the Hindu nationalist BJP. He is promising stronger leadership and | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
faster growth. Exit polls put him ahead of his rivals but the actual | :13:44. | :13:46. | |
results will not be counted until Friday. There was a record turnout | :13:47. | :13:55. | |
in this holy city where he was running. Voters came early and in | :13:56. | :14:03. | |
large numbers to beat the heat. Today even the city's holy men | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
shared the same goal, to cast their vote. | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
In villages and homes everybody has to come out and vote to make India | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
stronger. By running in Varanasi, Mr Modi was | :14:19. | :14:24. | |
hoping for a personal mandate in the spiritual capital of the Hindu | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
religion. He has faced significant opposition, especially from | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
minorities who fear he hopes to turn India away from its secular | :14:34. | :14:37. | |
traditions but his vow to get the economy back on track seems to have | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
struck a chord with millions of voters. Exit polls have often been | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
wrong but record turnouts in elections usually mean big change | :14:47. | :14:51. | |
and the BGP says that Modi is on course to be India's next prime | :14:52. | :14:59. | |
minister. -- the BJP. We heard him say that it was the | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
economy that really hurt -- struck a chord with voters. If you look at | :15:04. | :15:10. | |
what voters have been saying throughout this election, it does | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
not matter which part of the country you go to, largely the concerns are | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
the same, the state of the economy, the cost of living, rising prices. A | :15:19. | :15:27. | |
third of the voters is under the age of 30, so jobs are the big issue, | :15:28. | :15:34. | |
and many look to Mr Modi's record in Gujarat, his home state, where he | :15:35. | :15:39. | |
has managed to make the state a magnet for foreign investment, | :15:40. | :15:42. | |
infrastructure is significantly better than other parts of the | :15:43. | :15:46. | |
country, so many people hope he can bring that kind of administrative | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
skill to Delhi and do what he did to Gujarat for the rest of India. Thank | :15:52. | :16:00. | |
you very much. You can expect full results on Friday, we will bring | :16:01. | :16:01. | |
that to you. Now a look at some | :16:02. | :16:03. | |
of the day's other news. The Taliban have launched their | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
summer offensive in Afghanistan Several locations across | :16:08. | :16:10. | |
the country have been attacked. Two rockets hit | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
Kabul International Airport There was also an attack on the US | :16:15. | :16:16. | |
airbase in Bagram And at a courthouse in Jalalabad | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
in the east of the country, The World Health Organisation says | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
alcohol abuse kills more than three million people every year | :16:26. | :16:32. | |
and it's called on governments to do The WHO says | :16:33. | :16:35. | |
the excessive consumption of alcohol is linked to more than 200 diseases, | :16:36. | :16:40. | |
and also leads to deaths through Europeans are the heaviest drinkers, | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
but the UN body also says nearly half of all adults worldwide have | :16:45. | :16:49. | |
never touched alcohol. Australian scientists say | :16:50. | :16:58. | |
strengthening winds in the Southern Ocean are | :16:59. | :17:00. | |
the reason why temperatures in Antarctica are not rising | :17:01. | :17:02. | |
as much as in other continents. The researchers from the | :17:03. | :17:05. | |
Australian National University say high levels of greenhouse gases have | :17:06. | :17:07. | |
triggered the strongest storms in 1,000 years and these are | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
trapping cold air over Antarctica. Pro-Russian militants | :17:12. | :17:18. | |
in eastern Ukraine have said they want to become part of the | :17:19. | :17:21. | |
Russian Federation following The government in Kiev has denounced | :17:22. | :17:24. | |
the polls as illegal and EU foreign ministers have expanded sanctions | :17:25. | :17:30. | |
imposed as a result of Russia's Sarah Rainsford reports | :17:31. | :17:34. | |
from Donetsk. The morning after the rabble | :17:35. | :17:50. | |
referendum. Slaviansk is astral cold. There were clashes overnight | :17:51. | :17:54. | |
with troops on the outskirts. Now, it is calm. Across the region, | :17:55. | :17:58. | |
activists have been collating the results of the vote. As expected, | :17:59. | :18:01. | |
they declared a landslide victory for self-rule, claiming a record | :18:02. | :18:06. | |
turnout. But this was no ordinary ballot. Held alongside the armed men | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
now in control here. The rebels say this region has now spoken, and its | :18:12. | :18:15. | |
destiny is decided. But away from the barricade, I found opinion | :18:16. | :18:18. | |
deeply divided, even among Russian speakers. TRANSLATION: There are | :18:19. | :18:24. | |
lots of nationalities in this region, not just brushing. Why | :18:25. | :18:27. | |
should they become Russian citizens, just because some people speak | :18:28. | :18:30. | |
Russian? They want to live in Ukraine. Slavic people should be | :18:31. | :18:36. | |
together. I want to join Russia. After what has happened here, this | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
country can no longer be united. On the streets here, life looks pretty | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
normal. People are going about their business. But just a few metres away | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
at City Hall, there are still pro-Russian rebels in control. There | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
are armed men on checkpoints right around the city. And Russia, which | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
has called on the rebels to postpone their referendum, now says that | :18:58. | :19:00. | |
people here have spoken and there will must be respected. TRANSLATION: | :19:01. | :19:04. | |
We respect the will of the population of the Donetsk and | :19:05. | :19:10. | |
Luhansk regions. We hope that article in the mentation of the | :19:11. | :19:12. | |
outcome of the referendums will proceed along civilised lines | :19:13. | :19:17. | |
without further outbreaks of violence, and through dialogue. | :19:18. | :19:20. | |
International leaders have condemned the vote as a farce. These | :19:21. | :19:25. | |
referendums have zero credibility in the eyes of the world. They are | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
illegal by anybody's standards. They don't meet any standard, not a | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
single one, of objectivity, transparency, fairness. But events | :19:34. | :19:42. | |
are moving very fast. In bold and buy their votes, the rebels are | :19:43. | :19:45. | |
talking of a parallel government, even a military one. Stepping back | :19:46. | :19:47. | |
is becoming increasingly difficult. A migrant boat believed to be | :19:48. | :19:50. | |
carrying around 200 people has sunk south of | :19:51. | :19:52. | |
the Sicilian island of Lampedusa. The Sicilian Navy says vessels from | :19:53. | :19:55. | |
the Mare Nostrum task force, set up after hundreds of people drowned in | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
migrant boat disasters last year, Yet another tragedy in what is a | :20:00. | :20:19. | |
very tragic set of historical situations with Lampedusa. And | :20:20. | :20:30. | |
Italian navy ship gave quite a detailed account of what has been | :20:31. | :20:33. | |
going on here. It seems this has been happening in an area very far | :20:34. | :20:39. | |
south of Lampedusa, in fact, only about 45 miles from the Libyan | :20:40. | :20:43. | |
coast. It seems that around late morning local time, a couple of tug | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
boats working in the Libyan oil field noticed that there was a | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
migrant vessel in trouble, and it was taking in water, and as those | :20:53. | :20:55. | |
tug boats reported this to the Italian Navy, I saw that the boat | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
actually sank, and it seems that passengers were plunged into the | :21:01. | :21:04. | |
water. The tug boats did heroic work, it seems, picking up survivors | :21:05. | :21:08. | |
from the sea and picking up some of the dad that we have heard about, at | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
least 17 picked up so far. # the debt. The Italian Navy and Coast | :21:14. | :21:19. | |
Guard raced to the scene, and they are on station at the moment. | :21:20. | :21:29. | |
Apologies for the loss of sound. We appear to be having technical | :21:30. | :21:32. | |
difficulties with our line, but just to let you know, at least 14 people | :21:33. | :21:36. | |
have drowned following the sinking of a boat carrying migrants from | :21:37. | :21:39. | |
Libya to Italy, the second such incident in one week. We will keep | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
you updated when we get more details. | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
The murder trial of South African athlete Oscar Pistorius has heard | :21:49. | :21:51. | |
a psychiatrist explain that an untreated anxiety order could | :21:52. | :21:53. | |
have influenced his behaviour the night he shot | :21:54. | :21:56. | |
Merryll Vorster was called as a defence witness and said | :21:57. | :21:59. | |
Oscar Pistorius suffered from a life-long anxiety order | :22:00. | :22:02. | |
because of his amputated legs and his mother's early death. | :22:03. | :22:04. | |
He denies intentionally killing Ms Steenkamp. | :22:05. | :22:06. | |
She said that his actions and should be seen in that context. Here is our | :22:07. | :22:11. | |
correspondent with more. Today Wednesday 30 of the murder trial | :22:12. | :22:14. | |
here in Pretoria. The court heard from a defence witness, who has a | :22:15. | :22:23. | |
Ph.D. In forensic psychiatry. She told the court that when Oscar | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
Pistorius was a young child, at the tender age of 11, when he had his | :22:28. | :22:35. | |
legs amputated, he may have experienced that as a traumatic | :22:36. | :22:39. | |
assault. She also said he may have grown up being told he must be like | :22:40. | :22:42. | |
other kids, but he knew there was something wrong with him, he was a | :22:43. | :22:47. | |
double-amputee. She also explained that when she interviewed him, she | :22:48. | :22:50. | |
had diagnosed him with a condition called generalised anxiety | :22:51. | :22:56. | |
disorder. The prosecution pounced on that, saying that if he had | :22:57. | :22:59. | |
generalised anxiety disorder, could that be equal to a mental illness? | :23:00. | :23:12. | |
He is now putting in an application to the courts for him to go for an | :23:13. | :23:17. | |
evaluation. His "true and fearsome friend" - | :23:18. | :23:21. | |
that's how internationally acclaimed photographer | :23:22. | :23:24. | |
Stephen Dupont describes the Pacific For more than a decade, he has been | :23:25. | :23:26. | |
taking portraits of the country's tribal traditions and capturing | :23:27. | :23:31. | |
images that outsiders seldom see. Recently Dupont's diaries | :23:32. | :23:33. | |
and pictures were published, Papua New Guinea is known as the | :23:34. | :23:56. | |
land of the unexpected. You really feel like you are stepping back in | :23:57. | :24:01. | |
time, in a way. You can be in the Highlanders and feel like there is | :24:02. | :24:07. | |
first contact, it is that promotes and way off the beaten track. What | :24:08. | :24:10. | |
is so fascinating about Papua New Guinea and the clash of | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
modernisation of the West against the Stone Age, any sense, and that | :24:16. | :24:18. | |
is what I have been drawn to the photographer, to covering society | :24:19. | :24:24. | |
and looking at that clash of cultures. August 20 three, 2011. | :24:25. | :24:32. | |
This is the heart and soul of TNG, along with the islands missing out | :24:33. | :24:36. | |
on this would be like going to Brazzaville and not going up the | :24:37. | :24:39. | |
Congo river. Ever since I picked up a camera, essentially, I wrote | :24:40. | :24:46. | |
diaries. The diaries progressed in a way from handwritten diaries two | :24:47. | :24:52. | |
more like art books, so I am now sketching, putting into things and | :24:53. | :24:55. | |
making collages, and they become very much a part of my entire body | :24:56. | :25:01. | |
of work. September 15, 2011. Heard of Paradise Hotel. Room 212. Every | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
town in Papua New Guinea feels like a border town. They all seem to have | :25:07. | :25:09. | |
this frontier feeling, transit places. People coming and going. An | :25:10. | :25:18. | |
edgy kind of vibe life to it. The whole gang thing is quite new. It is | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
not something that has been around for some time. It is something that | :25:24. | :25:28. | |
grew out of urbanisation and 80% unemployment. I don't know anywhere | :25:29. | :25:32. | |
in the world that has that kind of figure for unemployment. The | :25:33. | :25:35. | |
conditions of that society, the poverty, the unemployment, has | :25:36. | :25:38. | |
forced these people into crime, think. From here, we took the river. | :25:39. | :25:45. | |
The water is so dark and chocolatey collard, it is almost black, | :25:46. | :25:50. | |
reflecting the sky and clouds and the approaching foothills of the | :25:51. | :25:55. | |
Highland mountains. The tribal gatherings in the | :25:56. | :26:01. | |
Highlands are essentially cultural festivals. Thousands of different | :26:02. | :26:05. | |
tribes coming together from all over to compete for fame and glory. It is | :26:06. | :26:15. | |
Stone Age would start. It is wild. Dash-macro Woodstock. I feel | :26:16. | :26:20. | |
grateful more than anything that I allowed to go and capture these | :26:21. | :26:24. | |
moments, because you don't take pictures, you are given pictures. It | :26:25. | :26:31. | |
is a gift. The acclaimed photographers Steven | :26:32. | :26:36. | |
Dupont sharing some of his remarkable photos from Papua New | :26:37. | :26:39. | |
Guinea. We have lots more as always on our website, but from me and the | :26:40. | :26:44. | |
team, thanks very much for watching, and you can follow me on Twitter. | :26:45. | :26:46. | |
For now, goodbye. Parts of the UK have been dealing | :26:47. | :27:00. | |
with some intense thundery downpours again today, with showers in the | :27:01. | :27:02. | |
forecast | :27:03. | :27:03. |
