United States launches more air strikes against Islamic State | :00:00. | :00:35. | |
militants in Iraq. They are carried out despite the execution of James | :00:36. | :00:37. | |
Foley. We hear from this American | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
doctor who survived Ebola. Today is miraculous, I am thrilled | :00:42. | :00:58. | |
to be alive, well and reunited with my family. | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
Evacuations and high alert for airlines as this Icelandic | :01:02. | :01:03. | |
The United States has launched more air strikes in northern Iraq, | :01:04. | :01:19. | |
despite threats by Islamic State fighters to kill a second American | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
It comes as more details emerge about the murder of photojournalist | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
James Foley after footage was released showing him being killed | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
The Pentagon says it attempted to rescue Foley and a number | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
of other hostages in a secret mission in Syria. | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
Meanwhile, the US Attorney General has opened a criminal investigation | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
And in the UK, security services are trying to identify | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
Militants demanded a ransom for him. -- for James Foley. | :01:53. | :02:05. | |
Frank Gardner's report on the murder investigation contains | :02:06. | :02:07. | |
Clues from a suspected killer, not much to go on, but every detail has | :02:08. | :02:20. | |
been studied from Islamic State's video of their murder of James | :02:21. | :02:28. | |
Foley. Jesus and reporter, who survived an earlier kidnapping in | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
Libya, he was held for nearly two years in Syria. Reports say his | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
captors demanded a massive ransom and later sent his parents and angry | :02:37. | :02:47. | |
e-mail, telling them he was about to be killed. This former French | :02:48. | :02:57. | |
hostage spent months with him, he got out because a ransom was | :02:58. | :03:15. | |
reportedly paid. Being American, it was probably more targeted by the | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
guard, eaten a bit more, probably. Many countries negotiate. I do not | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
know what, if it is money or prisoner exchange. Some countries, | :03:22. | :03:22. | |
like America, but also the UK, do not. The manhunt will be zeroing in | :03:23. | :03:23. | |
on the Syrian stronghold of Islamic State. These are weapons they | :03:24. | :03:25. | |
captured this summer from the Iraqi army. Most of their foreign hostages | :03:26. | :03:25. | |
are being held under jihadist control. Reports say they had three | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
British guards watching over them, who often beat them. There are | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
believed to be at least 20 others held, including this American | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
journalist. It is only a matter of time before MI5 or the FBI | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
identified the man who killed James Foley. Pinpointing where he is now | :03:43. | :03:49. | |
we'll be harder, and ringing the suspect out of the country that is | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
already torn apart by war and with similar because it is taking place | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
every day will be almost impossible. The area where most foreign hostages | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
are believed to be held has become a magnet for British jihadist. It is | :04:04. | :04:10. | |
very likely we will discover his identity in the next days. We have a | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
lot more means of finding out who that guy is reduced to have, 20 or | :04:16. | :04:21. | |
30 years ago. Maybe 80% of the foreign fighters are involved in | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
social media, they have Facebook accounts, Twitter accounts, they | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
give away a lot of clues in terms of height, | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
give away a lot of clues in terms of voice. Last month, America sent in | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
commandos like these in a failed attempt to free it captured in | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
Syria. Those who are held remain a massive propaganda tool in the | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
jihadists' armoury. Well, despite threats by | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
Islamic State to murder another American hostage, there were another | :04:51. | :04:52. | |
six US air strikes today. Iraqi forces are also understood to | :04:53. | :04:54. | |
have attacked the jihadists in Anbar province, and they're battling | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
Islamic fighters in Tikrit. Our correspondent Jeremy Cooke sent | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
this report from the front line It is time to fight back. The Iraqi | :05:01. | :05:20. | |
army in full retreat just weeks ago, now taking on the Islamic State | :05:21. | :05:28. | |
with maximum firepower. These special forces near Tikrit, facing | :05:29. | :05:38. | |
fanatical fighters, but victory will not come easy. Outside, the front | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
fanatical fighters, but victory will line is hardening. Here, | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
Kurdish - motor, who fought the enemy to a standstill. Look down the | :05:48. | :05:55. | |
barrel, across the river, 50 metres over the bridge, the black flag of | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
the Islamic State. Everything it stands for as well. The staggering | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
thing is how close the front lines. We have seen movement just over on | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
the other side. These fighters say they are determined to protect their | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
people, protect their homes. Several attacks have already been repelled. | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
Their commander says his troops are ready to give their blood and | :06:22. | :06:21. | |
lives. But they need help. ready to give their blood and | :06:22. | :06:31. | |
asking the international community and European countries for weapons, | :06:32. | :06:33. | |
he says. Our enemy has sophisticated and European countries for weapons, | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
weapons. Hours are good, but we need better. There is no panic here, the | :06:39. | :06:45. | |
people have faith in their fighting men, who defend the city. The | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
governor told me he remains confident that the Islamic State | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
will be defeated. It is a dangerous enemy. Not only the enemy of Iraq or | :06:54. | :07:04. | |
Syria, it is the enemy that can go anywhere in this world. It may be a | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
global issue, but for now, the future of the Islamic State will be | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
determined on the battlefields of Syria and Iraq. | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
Richard Barrett is a former head of counter terrorism at MI6 in the UK | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
and a former coordinator of the UN's Al-Qaida-Taliban Monitoring Team. | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
He's now Senior Vice President of the Soufan private security | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
Group, and joins me via webcam from near New Yor | :07:31. | :07:41. | |
Ultimately, did you think it will be possible to capture and identify the | :07:42. | :07:49. | |
killers of James Foley? I do think it will be possible to identify | :07:50. | :07:57. | |
them, yes. Not only will previous hostages have something to say, and | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
his boys could be found on social media, -- his voice -- but there is | :08:03. | :08:10. | |
also a whole community that he came from, people he was dealing with, | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
and there will be many of them, if not all of them, who will be | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
horrified by this video and would be willing to help the authorities | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
track him down. I am relatively confident he will be identified. As | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
for catching him, that is another matter. But there is a long time | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
ahead, and nobody will forget about this. Ultimately, this act opens up | :08:33. | :08:39. | |
a Pandora's box of political problems when it comes to what one | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
does when one has already identified the killing, whoever has killed | :08:46. | :08:52. | |
James Foley, what the US and UK forces then do. Indeed. He is likely | :08:53. | :09:01. | |
to stay in Syria or Iraq for the foreseeable future, but let's hope | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
that those countries settle down and there is more stability. But even | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
before that, there will be a lot of local people, local tribesmen, who | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
are also horrified at what the Islamic State are doing against | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
their own people as well as against James Foley. They will also be | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
willing to identify who the killers are or where they are. And help | :09:25. | :09:31. | |
British and American justice, if we can call it that, to get hold of | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
them, even if they do so for financial reason, that will still be | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
a good result. Barack Obama has already said the US will not scale | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
back its military actions, they have already launched more air strikes in | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
northern Iraq, that the issue of remaining hostages is still a large | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
issue. It is a very large issue, and that is why they have hostages. It | :09:56. | :10:02. | |
is a business, a money making, but as you said earlier, with British | :10:03. | :10:09. | |
and American hostages held, they know they will not get money, so | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
they use them for other purposes, and with James Foley, it was to | :10:14. | :10:19. | |
terrorise people, to re-emphasise their brutality, and perhaps put | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
pressure on the American and British and other governments not to take | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
action against them. There is no way the American government will be | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
blackmailed, so the additional and strikes are hardly surprising. What | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
to do think of the indications of this act on the wider political | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
thinking towards the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria? It confirms what | :10:41. | :10:49. | |
they are. They may have claimed they were just trying to create a new | :10:50. | :10:52. | |
state that would look after people in a better way than current leaders | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
in the middle east, and that is no longer tenable, that argument, we | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
see what they are, they are the same as Al-Qaeda and other international | :11:03. | :11:04. | |
terrorist groups. They have an agenda which tends entirely on them | :11:05. | :11:11. | |
imposing their own will on people and enforcing their rules, come what | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
may, even to the extent of killing people. | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
Bank of America has agreed to pay almost $17 billion in a settlement | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
with the US Department of Justice over questionable mortgages. | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
It's the largest sum to be paid as a result of the fallout | :11:27. | :11:29. | |
Why is this fine so big? If you asked the Justice Department, they | :11:30. | :11:50. | |
would say, consider how many millions of Americans were affected | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
by these mortgage backed securities and how many billions of dollars | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
were lost during the financial crisis. You look at how there are | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
still millions of Americans who are still trying to recover from what | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
happened in the financial crisis, if you take that into consideration, | :12:07. | :12:12. | |
the $17 billion does not seem so large. But it is one of the largest | :12:13. | :12:20. | |
fines we have ever seen, on a single US corporation, and it trumps the | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
fines we have seen in the past for these kinds of things, on the part | :12:25. | :12:35. | |
of JP Morgan, $13 billion, or Citigroup, $7 billion. This had to | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
do with these mortgage-backed securities, the financial | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
instruments that were lumped in with the faulty mortgages and sold to | :12:45. | :12:47. | |
investors as if they were safe. We know now that that led to the | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
financial crisis, and ever since then, the US Department of Justice | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
and the Barack Obama administration has been trying to call many of | :12:58. | :13:04. | |
these banks into question and to seek justice in terms of what their | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
role was in the financial crisis. The size of this fine, will it come | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
as a shock to the Bank of America? They helped -- how have they | :13:15. | :13:23. | |
reacted? There are a key things with this. We have known that this fine | :13:24. | :13:30. | |
has been coming for many weeks. The actual sum has also been bandied | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
about, at one point we were hearing 13 billion, then the 17 billion was | :13:36. | :13:41. | |
around, so it did not come as a total shock to investors that they | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
were going to be lumped with this kind of fine. As it is with every | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
other bank when they are facing these charges, on the park of Bank | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
of America, they are really happy to be able to put it behind them and | :13:56. | :14:02. | |
continue on with business, knowing that almost everything related to | :14:03. | :14:05. | |
the financial crisis has now finally been dealt with. | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
Now a look at some of the day's other news. | :14:11. | :14:13. | |
Hamas has announced that three of its senior military commanders | :14:14. | :14:15. | |
have been killed by Israeli airstrikes on Gaza. | :14:16. | :14:18. | |
Israel said the men were key to militant | :14:19. | :14:20. | |
Thousands have joined the funeral processions of the three commanders. | :14:21. | :14:26. | |
At least 50 people have been killed in Gaza since | :14:27. | :14:29. | |
A forensic inquiry by India's premier laboratory has concluded | :14:30. | :14:37. | |
that two girls found hanging from a tree in May were not | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
sexually assaulted, contrary to the findings of an earlier post-mortem. | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
Five men are being held on suspicion of involvement but are due to be | :14:47. | :14:49. | |
Marina Silva, the internationally-acclaimed | :14:50. | :14:55. | |
environmental campaigner, has been chosen by Brazil's Socialist Party | :14:56. | :14:57. | |
She replaces Eduardo Campos, who was killed last week in a plane crash. | :14:58. | :15:05. | |
Ms Silva is seen as a leading challenger to President Dilma | :15:06. | :15:08. | |
Ireland's former Prime Minister, Albert Reynolds, has died. | :15:09. | :15:23. | |
Mr Reynolds helped to shape the peace process in | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
Northern Ireland, pushing for the IRA ceasefire with his British | :15:28. | :15:29. | |
He served as prime minister between 1992 and 1994. | :15:30. | :15:41. | |
South Africa has said it is banning all travellers from Guinea, | :15:42. | :15:43. | |
Liberia and Sierra Leone from entering the country, | :15:44. | :15:45. | |
apart from its own citizens - over fears of the Ebola virus spreading. | :15:46. | :15:50. | |
The news comes as two American aid workers who were | :15:51. | :15:53. | |
infected with the virus in Africa have been discharged from an Atlanta | :15:54. | :15:57. | |
hospital where they were treated with experimental drugs. | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
One of them - Dr. Kent Brantly - had this to say. | :16:02. | :16:07. | |
Liberia, the use of an experimental drug and the expertise and resources | :16:08. | :16:16. | |
life -the direct answer to thousands and thousands of prayers. | :16:17. | :16:23. | |
I am incredibly thankful to all those who were involved in my care, | :16:24. | :16:28. | |
from the first day of my illness all the way up to today, | :16:29. | :16:32. | |
With me is the BBC's health reporter, Smitha Mundasad. | :16:33. | :16:46. | |
Extraordinary to see him looking so well. What happened today? | :16:47. | :16:52. | |
The American aid workers were flown to this hospital earlier this month. | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
They received top-notch care of there. We did not get many details | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
but we know they had access to intensive care therapy and access to | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
an experimental drug. They have made a very good recovery. A remarkable | :17:07. | :17:11. | |
recovery, the doctors say. Now they are looking to see whether other | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
people could recover like this. They want to learn some lessons from | :17:16. | :17:18. | |
this. They admit that the health facilities in the US are very | :17:19. | :17:21. | |
different to the ones in West Africa. | :17:22. | :17:26. | |
Indeed, and he refers to that experimental, untested drugs. We | :17:27. | :17:31. | |
still know that more than 50% of individuals infected will die. The | :17:32. | :17:35. | |
death toll currently stands at over 1000. What makes this outbreak | :17:36. | :17:42. | |
different to previous ones? This is a different strain so some | :17:43. | :17:50. | |
outbreaks have had rates of up to 90% of people dying who were | :17:51. | :17:54. | |
infected. This strain is more concerning because actually it has | :17:55. | :17:57. | |
moved from rural areas into urban areas so more people are affected. | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
Or people are dying. Let's go back to your initial point | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
about what happens in America is sometimes different to what happens | :18:07. | :18:10. | |
in West Africa, where the majority of victims... The World Health | :18:11. | :18:24. | |
Organisation has said that supplies are exhausted. | :18:25. | :18:29. | |
We're not sure if this drug actually works. The doctors in the American | :18:30. | :18:32. | |
Hospital were careful to say it was more likely to be the standard | :18:33. | :18:35. | |
facilities in this hospital that really helps them. These were the | :18:36. | :18:40. | |
two first people to receive this drug and, scientifically, it is hard | :18:41. | :18:43. | |
to prove when just two people are receiving a drug that it does work. | :18:44. | :18:47. | |
There have been reports that Liberian doctors who have received | :18:48. | :18:50. | |
the drug are improving, but there are other reports that a Spanish | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
priest who also receive the drug sadly died. It is very difficult to | :18:55. | :18:57. | |
say that the drug actually has any positive effect. | :18:58. | :18:58. | |
IQ. The Pakistani opposition leader | :18:59. | :19:01. | |
Imran Khan says he is pulling out of talks with the government until | :19:02. | :19:04. | |
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif resigns. The two sides began discussions last | :19:05. | :19:06. | |
night, after thousands of opposition supporters occupied a high-security | :19:07. | :19:13. | |
zone in front of parliament. Our correspondent Shahzeb Jillani | :19:14. | :19:15. | |
has been out among those protestors. These protesters are continuing to | :19:16. | :19:20. | |
occupy this main road in front This place is called | :19:21. | :19:24. | |
the Constitution Avenue. It's now more than a week since this | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
anti-government campaign began. Thousands of these activists, many | :19:30. | :19:42. | |
of them women, have been camping They say they will not move | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
until the government resigns. For the government, | :19:47. | :19:52. | |
the demand for the prime Minister's Earlier today, in the building | :19:53. | :19:55. | |
behind me, the parliament also passed a unanimous resolution, | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
supported by opposition parties, that demands by these protesters for | :20:00. | :20:02. | |
the dismissal of the government and the dissolution of the | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
National Assembly are unconstitutional. The Pakistani army | :20:08. | :20:12. | |
has urged all parties to exercise restraint and try to resolve this | :20:13. | :20:16. | |
turmoil through dialogue. It's not entirely clear how | :20:17. | :20:20. | |
this confrontation will end. Both Imran Khan and Dr Tahirul Qadri | :20:21. | :20:22. | |
are saying they want the government to resign, something | :20:23. | :20:26. | |
the government and the parliament Ukrainian border guards are reported | :20:27. | :20:29. | |
to have begun checks on 270 trucks in a Russian aid convoy heading | :20:30. | :20:39. | |
for the rebel-held east of Ukraine. It's not clear if any trucks | :20:40. | :20:44. | |
have crossed into Ukraine. Earlier, the International Red Cross | :20:45. | :20:47. | |
issued specific instructions to They were told that the trucks must | :20:48. | :20:49. | |
drive through a Ukrainian controlled border post and then directly to the | :20:50. | :20:55. | |
delivery point without stopping. Each vehicle must have a Red Cross | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
escort at all Now a look at some That quintessential American export | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
- the McDonald's restaurant - is Several have been closed in Moscow | :21:04. | :21:12. | |
for alleged health infringements. It comes at a time | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
of deteriorating diplomatic relations between Washington and | :21:17. | :21:18. | |
Moscow, as our Moscow Correspondent, This is Pushkin Square | :21:19. | :21:20. | |
in the heart of Moscow. Every time I come here I remember | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
the date, nearly 25 years ago, when Russia's first McDonald's | :21:26. | :21:29. | |
opened its doors in the USSR. I was studying in Moscow | :21:30. | :21:33. | |
at the time and I came The crowds that day were | :21:34. | :21:36. | |
absolutely incredible. The queue went all | :21:37. | :21:42. | |
the way round Pushkin Square. It took me three hours to get | :21:43. | :21:44. | |
inside and be served, such was the level of excitement | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
here that American burgers had burst through the Iron Curtain | :21:49. | :21:52. | |
and were being served up in Moscow. They have ordered three of | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
Moscow's McDonald's restaurants to be temporarily closed, | :21:57. | :22:04. | |
citing sanitary violations. There will be more checks | :22:05. | :22:07. | |
at more McDonald's across Russia. Centrestage now are Russian | :22:08. | :22:10. | |
products, after Moscow banned imports of meat, | :22:11. | :22:19. | |
dairy, fruit and vegetables It's the Kremlin's response | :22:20. | :22:22. | |
to Western sanctions. But are Muscovites really | :22:23. | :22:29. | |
bothered about the burgers? Personally, | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
I prefer beetroot soup and Russian This is 99 percent politics, | :22:35. | :22:39. | |
she tells me. Russia is looking | :22:40. | :22:47. | |
for ways to hit back at the West. We did find someone at McDonald's | :22:48. | :22:50. | |
today, this cow mascot for a Russian Part of Iceland has been evacuated | :22:51. | :22:53. | |
amid growing fears that the country's Bardarbunga volcano | :22:54. | :23:07. | |
could be about to erupt. In the past 24 hours, | :23:08. | :23:09. | |
there's been around 1,000 This graphic from the | :23:10. | :23:13. | |
Icelandic Met Office marks each one of those earthquakes - | :23:14. | :23:20. | |
you can see just how deep they are. The volcano is inside a national | :23:21. | :23:23. | |
park that's popular with tourists. The warning's raised fears that | :23:24. | :23:29. | |
there could be a repeat of Professor Dougal Jerram is | :23:30. | :23:32. | |
a volcanologist from the University He joins me from our newsroom | :23:33. | :23:34. | |
in Birmingham. Thanks for joining us on the | :23:35. | :23:43. | |
programme. How serious is the situation? | :23:44. | :23:47. | |
Currently the Icelandic authorities have a cold orange and there is only | :23:48. | :23:52. | |
one more level which is an eruption imminent. -- code orange. As magma | :23:53. | :23:59. | |
works its way up through the crust, it can shake the ground and cause | :24:00. | :24:02. | |
minor earthquakes. That is what the graphic shows, the vision of those | :24:03. | :24:07. | |
earthquakes. They are also monitoring the ground, seeing | :24:08. | :24:10. | |
whether the ground is rising with GPS, as magma comes in and swells | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
the ground. They are quite concerned that an eruption is on its way. | :24:16. | :24:22. | |
Any idea whether this could be as serious as the ash cloud situation | :24:23. | :24:26. | |
that we had back in 2010? There are a number of possible | :24:27. | :24:31. | |
scenarios. This volcano, in fact the whole area is one of the largest | :24:32. | :24:36. | |
organic systems on the islands. In the past, it has had seismic tremors | :24:37. | :24:42. | |
like these which have stopped. There is that possibility, but given the | :24:43. | :24:45. | |
amount of earthquakes it is likely that there is some activity going to | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
happen. There is a large ice cap which this volcano lies underneath. | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
Sometimes, when it erupts, it does not actually breached the top of the | :24:55. | :24:58. | |
ice cap, it just melt a lot of ice beneath, but that can be quite | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
treacherous to any of the villagers that the potential place your ad | :25:04. | :25:06. | |
watch would cover. How soon after the volcano erupts | :25:07. | :25:11. | |
will you be able to tell how serious the situation will be? | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
In order to come up with a situation like two dozen ten, where | :25:17. | :25:19. | |
Eyjafjallajokull corrupted, Derrida was actually a magma which had been | :25:20. | :25:24. | |
stored in the shallow crust for some period of time and had gathered up a | :25:25. | :25:29. | |
lot of gases and so actually that material was much more explosive | :25:30. | :25:32. | |
than we would normally expect these types labour. Ultimately, when it's | :25:33. | :25:39. | |
at rotting we will get a feel for how explosive the volcano is. -- | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
types of live art. First of all, it will not be ice underneath but we | :25:45. | :25:47. | |
would be concerned if it breach the service. Their own minds, we also | :25:48. | :25:54. | |
need the as cloud to go high up into the atmosphere and also we need the | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
win is to be on the right direction to take that ash over Europe. There | :25:59. | :26:01. | |
are number of different elements that need to come into place to make | :26:02. | :26:08. | |
a similar situation that we had in 2010. | :26:09. | :26:10. | |
Volcanoes have been ranting and I flagged for centuries. We only seem | :26:11. | :26:14. | |
to really be affected by Nan in recent years. Why is that? | :26:15. | :26:19. | |
If you spoke to the average Icelander, they would take a | :26:20. | :26:21. | |
different view. They have been affected in the past by many of | :26:22. | :26:26. | |
these glacial floods where the volcanoes erupted under the ice, the | :26:27. | :26:30. | |
water melts, builds up and catastrophically floods the | :26:31. | :26:35. | |
landscape. They have suffered a loss of sheep through poisonous gases | :26:36. | :26:38. | |
from volcanoes. It has affected humans. It is only recently that we | :26:39. | :26:46. | |
have our easyJet and Ryanair... I'm afraid we will have to leave it | :26:47. | :26:51. | |
Hello. At bit of a mixed bag of weather for the next few days. | :26:52. | :27:02. | |
Feeling fairly autumnal for some areas. Tomorrow, not a bad day with | :27:03. | :27:06. | |
spells of sunshine and a few showers. Many places will stay dry. | :27:07. | :27:12. | |
We are seeing this weather front seeking its way south rebirthing | :27:13. | :27:13. | |
