This is World News Today with me, James Menendez. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
All public schools in Los Angeles have been closed for the day | :00:07. | :00:10. | |
That's nearly three quarters of a million pupils | :00:11. | :00:15. | |
police say every school will be searched. | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
The US Secretary of State, John Kerry, says Russia | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
and the United States could make a significant difference | :00:24. | :00:25. | |
to the war in Syria if they work together. | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
The Soyuz space capsule carrying three crew members, | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
and among them British astronaut Tim Peake, | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
has arrived at the International Space Station. | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
And like it or not, these little creatures are crawling on your face. | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
We'll meet the microscopic mites that make the human face their home. | :00:44. | :01:05. | |
The authorities in Los Angeles have closed all public schools | :01:06. | :01:07. | |
All school buses have been ordered to return to their depots, | :01:08. | :01:22. | |
Nearly three quarters of a million pupils, | :01:23. | :01:24. | |
from more than 1,000 schools, are staying at home for the day. | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
The city's mayor says it was the right decision. We continue to hope | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
that this is nothing and our children can be back at school | :01:34. | :01:35. | |
tomorrow. As a parent and as a mayor, I'm here to support this | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
school district as it seeks to help to insure that we can look at each | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
one of these campuses and make sure that they are safe for all of our | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
children. An abundance of caution is something that all of us who have | :01:51. | :01:51. | |
children appreciate. A similar threat was received in | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
New York but the Police Commissioner there says it's being | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
treated as a hoax. We do not see that as a credible | :01:58. | :02:04. | |
terrorist threat, and we are investigating it as a hoax. We | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
believe that the e-mail originated overseas. The language in the e-mail | :02:10. | :02:16. | |
would leave us to believe that this is not a jet had its -- jihadist | :02:17. | :02:24. | |
initiative. The name Allah was not spelt with a capital A. That is on | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
think for that a jihadist would do that. | :02:31. | :02:31. | |
Our correspondent Peter Bowes is in Los Angeles for us. | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
Good to have you with us on the programme. The message from | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
officials in the city is better safe than sorry. That was absolutely | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
their message. An abundance of caution, they said, they made that | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
decision early this morning to close all of the public schools in Los | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
Angeles. That is a situation that is affecting hundreds of thousands of | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
people around the city. The children who were expected to go to their | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
classes today, their parents, who have had to deal with the situation, | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
right now there is an eerie silence and many of those schools that are | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
empty and are being searched. Some police officers have been seen going | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
into those schools. They have better they will surge and leave no stone | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
unturned. In terms of that search, every single school in Los Angeles, | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
before declaring they are safe, and able to resume classes again. That | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
will not be today. Tomorrow at the earliest will be when they can go | :03:33. | :03:39. | |
back into the school. It has caused a tremendous amount of upset for | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
people in the school. It is safe to say that after the attack in San | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
Bernardino, many people here were still feeling nervous. There is an | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
awareness that people need to be cautious at the moment and this | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
incident today, this situation, has only served to worsen those fears | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
for some people in this city of Los Angeles with an interesting, the | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
discrepancy between the response of New York and Los Angeles. San | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
Bernardino must be preying on people's mines where you are. That | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
is what the officials said this morning come when the decision was | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
made, that San Bernardino were certainly in the back of their | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
minds, and other terrorist incidents around the world. The climate that | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
everyone is living in at the moment. The focus now, apart from the search | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
of the schools, appears to be on that decision and the discrepancy | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
with New York, with the former police chief of Los Angeles now in | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
charge of the police in New York City saying that LA had in effect | :04:39. | :04:45. | |
overreacted, and it was determined that it was not a credible threat | :04:46. | :04:47. | |
for New York. Questions are being asked, did it Los Angeles overstep | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
the mark? Were they to cautious? Thank you. | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
Steve Zimmerman is president of the Los Angeles Board of Education. | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
He explained why they decided to shut down all of those schools. The | :05:00. | :05:09. | |
actions we are taking today are swift and they are appropriate, | :05:10. | :05:18. | |
given the situation that we are in, and we ask for the patience and | :05:19. | :05:25. | |
cooperation and support of the city. The education of our kids is | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
incredibly important. The only thing that is more important is their | :05:29. | :05:30. | |
safety. She is a teacher and Vice President | :05:31. | :05:31. | |
of the LA Teacher's Union. Thank you very much for joining us | :05:32. | :05:45. | |
here on BBC programme. What do you think of the decision to close the | :05:46. | :05:54. | |
schools? You support it? Yes. The teachers union here stands with the | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
school district's decision to shut down the schools today. They | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
received a credible threat, and we know that the district has highly | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
trained people to assess these types of threat, and they decided to | :06:10. | :06:17. | |
summarily close the schools. We support that decision because it is | :06:18. | :06:25. | |
a top priority for the safety of our students and for the educators. What | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
do you make of the discrepancy between the weight that New York has | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
responded? They said they had a similar thread but decided it was a | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
hoax. Do you think that the authorities in Los Angeles have | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
overreacted? We support our School district. I cannot comment on what | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
happens in New York. We are from LA, how school board president said this | :06:51. | :06:58. | |
morning, and our mayor also stated this morning. We live in California, | :06:59. | :07:06. | |
we are closest to San Bernardino. We know that safety is a primary thing | :07:07. | :07:15. | |
for parents and students and educators. Is it fair to say that | :07:16. | :07:21. | |
people in California are particularly nervous, given what | :07:22. | :07:27. | |
happened in San Bernardino? I don't know if people are particularly | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
nervous, I think we are living in a scary times all around the world, | :07:31. | :07:36. | |
and we hope for peace everywhere. And so educators will be providing | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
that support in the coming days at school, as we're heading off to | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
holiday vacation. Thank you for being with us. | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
Earlier, Rob Hayes, a parent to two small children, | :07:52. | :07:53. | |
told us what happened this morning in LA. | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
I took my kids to school this morning, just like I do on any | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
regular day. When we got there, no one was there except for a few | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
parents. There was a rumour that there had been a threat and then I | :08:08. | :08:14. | |
saw it on Twitter. When I saw that, I decided it was serious. Do you dig | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
it was the right decision? This was a view hours ago -- a few hours ago. | :08:19. | :08:26. | |
Was it the right decision? Just last week, we had our own terrorist | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
attack like you guys had in Europe, in Paris. We had one here as well. | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
It must be taken seriously every time. You cannot just overlook that. | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
Tell us more about that. You're talking about what happened in San | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
Bernardino. Our people feeling very worried, very tense at the moment? | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
You have to treat these cases seriously in any situation, because | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
we don't we have these types of things happening over here in the | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
United States will stop when they do happen, people are definitely on | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
edge. I was in the Marine Corps, I'm a veteran, so I was in Iraq. I know | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
it from both sides of the situation. That was Rob Hayes. His two children | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
are staying at home today in Los Angeles. | :09:18. | :09:17. | |
The US Secretary of State, John Kerry, has said that | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
if the United States and Russia worked together, | :09:21. | :09:22. | |
they could make a significant difference to the Syrian conflict. | :09:23. | :09:24. | |
Mr Kerry is in Moscow, where he's been meeting | :09:25. | :09:26. | |
President Vladimir Putin and the Russian Foreign Minister. | :09:27. | :09:28. | |
The two sides agree on the need to tackle so-called Islamic State, | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
the Syrian president, Bashar al-Assad, would have | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
and which opposition groups should be included in peace talks. | :09:37. | :09:45. | |
With me is the BBC Russia Service editor, Artyom Liss. | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
Good to have you with us in the studio. How much common ground is | :09:51. | :09:56. | |
there between Russia and the US? Or are they very far apart which mark | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
what is important if they have started talking. They making | :10:01. | :10:08. | |
allsorts of noises suggesting that a relationship is better than it was a | :10:09. | :10:11. | |
view months ago. We don't know what common ground there is. We will find | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
that when they finish their talks. I will be surprised if they come up | :10:17. | :10:18. | |
with something specific tonight. The interesting thing is that both sides | :10:19. | :10:28. | |
have been making positive remarks. We have not heard that for some | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
time. Tell us about Russia's support for the free Syrian army, fighting | :10:32. | :10:37. | |
President Assad's troops. A confusing picture emerging, with | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
lots of different comments from very senior officials in Moscow. Is | :10:41. | :10:47. | |
Russia's 's board giving support to them or not? That is a good | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
question. I don't know. I don't think anyone can tell you with any | :10:52. | :10:53. | |
degree of certainty. President Putin said that Russia was supporting the | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
FSA, providing them with military help. Another official denied it. On | :10:59. | :11:06. | |
Tuesday morning, a senior Russian official said they are supporting | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
the FSA will stop them when one of my colleagues in Moscow tried to | :11:12. | :11:18. | |
push this point about it, he is said he had nothing to say that it. It is | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
very confused. They don't pick Moscow has decided what it is that | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
they want the outside to hear. It is worth pointing out that the Free | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
Syrian Army are saying that they have not received any help from | :11:33. | :11:35. | |
Moscow. It would be extraordinary if they were because the suction has | :11:36. | :11:38. | |
been that part of Russia's mission in Syria is to support President | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
Assad and the FSA desperate the want to see President Assad go. Indeed, | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
and Russia has been saying for some time now that the only thing they | :11:48. | :11:54. | |
are interested in is the fight with the so-called Islamic State. You can | :11:55. | :11:56. | |
see how potentially this could bring them into the same group as the Free | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
Syrian Army and the other opposition groups. But where does President | :12:00. | :12:10. | |
Assad's figure go in this? This is something they could be discussing | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
as we speak. We will see if clarity emerges. Thank you. | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
Of course, the United States and Russia are not | :12:20. | :12:21. | |
the only countries grappling with how they should respond | :12:22. | :12:24. | |
to Syria's civil war and the threat from Islamic extremism. | :12:25. | :12:26. | |
Saudi Arabia has just announced a military alliance | :12:27. | :12:28. | |
of nearly three dozen Muslim nations in order to tackle terrorism. | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
The Saudi Foreign Minister says the move is unprecedented. | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
As part of this effort, there will be a joint operation | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
set up in Riyadh that would coordinate the efforts onto tracks. | :12:41. | :12:52. | |
One track is a security and military track that | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
involves exchange of information, it involves the training, | :12:57. | :12:58. | |
and providing the forces where necessary. | :12:59. | :13:00. | |
The second track involves combating the ideology. | :13:01. | :13:02. | |
How do you develop effective messaging, | :13:03. | :13:03. | |
how do you counter the messages of violent extremists? | :13:04. | :13:13. | |
Part of a Russian cruise missile hit a block of flats | :13:14. | :13:16. | |
in the Russian Arctic during a test that went wrong, | :13:17. | :13:18. | |
but nobody was hurt, the media reports. | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
A fire broke out in the three-storey block in the village of Nyenoksa | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
but residents were evacuated in time. | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
The village is near a Russian naval base at Severodvinsk, | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
The missile was fired from a defence ministry test range. | :13:33. | :13:39. | |
The British astronaut Tim Peake has made history this evening - | :13:40. | :13:42. | |
a short time ago, the 43 year-old former army pilot arrived | :13:43. | :13:44. | |
He's the first publicly-funded British astronaut. | :13:45. | :13:51. | |
The Soyuz space capsule carrying him and two other astronauts | :13:52. | :13:54. | |
arrived at the space station half an hour ago | :13:55. | :13:57. | |
after more than six hours of flight. | :13:58. | :14:06. | |
Our science correspondent who is in Kazakhstan has this report. | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
The momentous day for tempi. Tim and his fellow crew mates | :14:11. | :14:18. | |
are at the cosmodrome in Baikonur, On the other side of | :14:19. | :14:30. | |
the glass, his family. This will be the last | :14:31. | :14:33. | |
time they will see him, He is waving and smiling | :14:34. | :14:36. | |
and giving the thumbs up. Next stage to go on the the bus | :14:37. | :14:44. | |
to go to launch pad. With him, on his left, | :14:45. | :14:53. | |
is his commander, cosmonaut Yuri Malenchenko and | :14:54. | :14:54. | |
next to him, is Nasa's Tim Kopra. So how does Rebecca feel | :14:55. | :15:00. | |
a few hours before the launch? I am really happy, you know, | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
it has been a long journey We are really excited to get | :15:05. | :15:07. | |
to this stage in the game. He looks so ready | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
for it, it is great. A final wave goodbye, | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
before Tim and the rest of the crew It stands on the same launch pad | :15:16. | :15:20. | |
from which Yuri Gagarin set off to become the first man in space, | :15:21. | :15:25. | |
more than 50 years ago. Lift off of Tim Kopra, | :15:26. | :15:30. | |
Yuri Malenchenko and Timothy Peake on their way to the | :15:31. | :15:53. | |
International Space Station. So far, getting good | :15:54. | :16:04. | |
first stage performance, the Soyuz delivering | :16:05. | :16:08. | |
930,000 pounds of thrust First stage of the Soyuz, | :16:09. | :16:10. | |
68 feet in length, 24 feet in diameter, it will be burning | :16:11. | :16:15. | |
liquid fuel for the first two minutes and six | :16:16. | :16:18. | |
seconds of the flight. On the ground, jubilation | :16:19. | :16:25. | |
from his friends, and family. In the capsule, Tim tells | :16:26. | :16:29. | |
us he is feeling fine. The danger from the | :16:30. | :16:46. | |
launch is now over. And coming into view, | :16:47. | :16:55. | |
the Soyuz capsule, a scene from the International | :16:56. | :16:58. | |
Space Station. Tim will have to wait | :16:59. | :17:02. | |
until the hatch is opened Let's cross life to Kazakhstan and | :17:03. | :17:25. | |
another of our correspondence. That process of opening the hatch, has it | :17:26. | :17:31. | |
happened? Is it about the happen? It is a work in progress at the moment. | :17:32. | :17:34. | |
In the next five minutes or so, we are expecting what is known as the | :17:35. | :17:41. | |
ingress to begin. That is the word they use to discard the moment they | :17:42. | :17:44. | |
pass from the Capshaw into the International Space Station. -- from | :17:45. | :17:55. | |
the Soyuz capsule. It is about eight hours since they blasted off from | :17:56. | :17:57. | |
here, from the launch pad in Kazakhstan. A nail-biting ride for | :17:58. | :18:05. | |
anyone else perhaps but these astronauts are to it. They tense | :18:06. | :18:09. | |
moment as we waited here and watched on the screens to watch the docking | :18:10. | :18:16. | |
itself. The automatic systems apparently failed, and the commander | :18:17. | :18:22. | |
then took over the controls and managed to dock perfectly safely in | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
manual. Apparently that is what they train for. He managed to do it | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
perfectly well. As I say, there was a little frisson here in the hall | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
where I am now, where a lot of space officials are gathered from various | :18:37. | :18:39. | |
countries. Also whether relatives of the group have come. They are here | :18:40. | :18:43. | |
now because not only were they watching the docking but they are | :18:44. | :18:47. | |
here because after the astronauts climb aboard the ISS, they will get | :18:48. | :18:51. | |
a chance to speak to them from space. We will find out what that | :18:52. | :18:53. | |
right was like. Many thanks. A memorial service | :18:54. | :19:00. | |
has taken place in Australia one year after the armed siege | :19:01. | :19:02. | |
at a Sydney cafe in which 18 people | :19:03. | :19:05. | |
were taken hostage. Two people, as well as the gunman, | :19:06. | :19:07. | |
Man Haron Monis, were killed in the police raid | :19:08. | :19:10. | |
that ended the standoff. One year on, | :19:11. | :19:11. | |
there is debate in Australia about whether the attack | :19:12. | :19:14. | |
was an act of terror. From Sydney, here's our | :19:15. | :19:16. | |
correspondent Jon Donnison. Sydney had never seen anything like | :19:17. | :19:27. | |
it. After a 16 hour siege, two hostages dead in a massive police | :19:28. | :19:32. | |
operation. Many more traumatised by a lone gunmen. Unlike the larger | :19:33. | :19:39. | |
attacks in Paris this year, this was not an Islamic state operation. The | :19:40. | :19:45. | |
man who perpetrated the siege acted completely on his own. We know that. | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
However, he was influenced and inspired if you like by the success | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
of the so-called Islamic State. That particular event was in no weight | :19:56. | :20:01. | |
supported by the so-called Islamic State back in the middle East. The | :20:02. | :20:07. | |
gunmen, who was killed in the raid, was well-known to police, with a | :20:08. | :20:12. | |
history of criminal and unstable behaviour. The inquest into exactly | :20:13. | :20:20. | |
what motivated him is still ongoing. But the Government believe it was a | :20:21. | :20:25. | |
terrorist attack. It has led them to step up counter-terrorism action. To | :20:26. | :20:29. | |
wrap this year, there have been a series of raids on suspected Islamic | :20:30. | :20:35. | |
extremists. And Australia continues to be concerned about its citizens | :20:36. | :20:40. | |
fighting in Syria and Iraq alongside jihadi groups. But some in the | :20:41. | :20:48. | |
country's mainstream Muslim community feel they are being | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
unfairly targeted, that the garment used the Sydney siege as | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
justification to do so. They used it. They say we're under attack. We | :20:59. | :21:06. | |
are not under attack. They are us! It is not in the Muslim character. | :21:07. | :21:11. | |
He is a total madman. He is a bad guy, that is why he has done this. | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
He is not a Muslim. Tonight at the site of the siege, Sydney civilians | :21:16. | :21:24. | |
gathered to remember the two hostages killed. | :21:25. | :21:29. | |
Like many countries, Australia does face a problem with a tiny number of | :21:30. | :21:35. | |
Islamic extremists, but one year after the Sydney siege, we now know | :21:36. | :21:42. | |
that it was not what people did at the time, it was not a coordinated | :21:43. | :21:46. | |
attack by a group such as Islamic State. It was nevertheless hugely | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
traumatic for those directly involved, and a profound shock for | :21:51. | :21:52. | |
both the city and the country. It's probably the biggest | :21:53. | :22:04. | |
Hollywood premiere of all time - the first public showing | :22:05. | :22:06. | |
of the new Star Wars sequel, Fans have been out in force | :22:07. | :22:09. | |
at the TCL Chinese Theatre one of three cinemas | :22:10. | :22:12. | |
hosting the premiere. The boulevard itself | :22:13. | :22:15. | |
has been closed all this week. Our correspondent, | :22:16. | :22:17. | |
Lizo Mzimba, is there. John Boyega, one of the film's | :22:18. | :22:22. | |
young British leads, who reprises his role | :22:23. | :22:27. | |
as Luke Skywalker. The film's other new lead, | :22:28. | :22:32. | |
Daisy Ridley, chats with George Lucas, | :22:33. | :22:35. | |
the writer/director who created it | :22:36. | :22:37. | |
all back in 1977. The meeting of the generations | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
a key selling point for this film, the first in more than 30 years | :22:43. | :22:46. | |
to feature the main actors What is it like being | :22:47. | :22:48. | |
part of that again? Look, I've always been grateful | :22:49. | :22:58. | |
for the success I don't think I can explain, | :22:59. | :23:00. | |
I'm not going to take on the task and explain why they are, | :23:01. | :23:10. | |
but this is a good movie Is this the day | :23:11. | :23:15. | |
you have been waiting for, No, because then I think I would've | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
wished the time away before. It's very exciting it is here now, | :23:21. | :23:26. | |
but life is cool and the in-between bits are cool too, so it's nice | :23:27. | :23:30. | |
to enjoy things in waves Disney paid George Lucas | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
more than $4 billion for the rights to the series | :23:35. | :23:45. | |
and other film properties. Thanks to one of the biggest deals | :23:46. | :23:48. | |
in Hollywood history, This movie is the first stage | :23:49. | :23:51. | |
of trying to recoup that investment by convincing | :23:52. | :23:59. | |
millions of fans to see the film, buy the merchandise and then, | :24:00. | :24:02. | |
crucially, to keep repeating that process as each new Star Wars film | :24:03. | :24:04. | |
is released annually until 2019 Now this is the story that has had | :24:05. | :24:10. | |
the whole newsroom talking today. Recent research has revealed that | :24:11. | :24:20. | |
you, and me, and everyone around us, almost certainly have | :24:21. | :24:24. | |
animals living on our face. The naked eye can't see them, | :24:25. | :24:27. | |
but they are there. They are eight-legged, | :24:28. | :24:31. | |
microscopic mites. They spend their entire lives | :24:32. | :24:34. | |
on our faces, where they eat, | :24:35. | :24:36. | |
mate and finally die. Before you start buying | :24:37. | :24:39. | |
extra-strong face-wash, you should know that they probably | :24:40. | :24:41. | |
aren't a serious problem. It's thought we all have hundreds | :24:42. | :24:44. | |
of them, and possibly thousands. The type of mite you have | :24:45. | :24:51. | |
is probably passed down through your family | :24:52. | :24:53. | |
rather than person to person. Others think they're eating | :24:54. | :24:56. | |
the oil from the sebaceous gland. well, I think I'd better leave that | :24:57. | :25:02. | |
to your imagination. All public schools in the Los | :25:03. | :25:18. | |
Angeles area have been closed for the day because of a security | :25:19. | :25:24. | |
threat. More than 1000 schools, and nearly 700,000 pupils are affected. | :25:25. | :25:27. | |
The message the authorities were acting out of an abundance of | :25:28. | :25:31. | |
caution. Police in New York received a similar threat but said it was not | :25:32. | :25:34. | |
credible. And the US Secretary of State, John | :25:35. | :25:40. | |
Kerry, has met the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, to | :25:41. | :25:44. | |
discuss how to enter the covered in Syria. He said that between them, US | :25:45. | :25:50. | |
and Russia had a chance to make a significant difference. | :25:51. | :25:51. | |
But for now, from me and the rest of the team, goodbye. | :25:52. | :26:02. | |
Exceptionally mild air will be pushing its way | :26:03. | :26:05. | |
across the United Kingdom over the next couple of days. | :26:06. | :26:08. |
