UK, Snow and the Russians

Temperatures will plummet this weekend as an easterly wind brings Siberian weather to the UK once more.

The UK is set to get hit by a second ‘Beast from the East’ with snow to start falling on some parts by as soon as tomorrow.

Two weeks after a Siberian weather system plunged the country into chaos, the Met Office are warning a second ‘mini-Beast’ could cause disruption once again.

Yellow weather warnings for snow and ice are in place for Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Temperatures will struggle to get above 0C on Sunday and a bitter wind chill will make it feel even colder.

While on Friday temperatures will be mild for most, the northernmost tips of Scotland will feel a lot chillier and that will slowly spread south through the day.

Almost half (49%) of Russians believe that Abkhazia and South Ossetia are independent states. They also believe that Transnistria must formally have the status of independent country. This is what emerges from a survey conducted by the Levada Centre from August 21 to 24 on a representative sample of 800 people in 134 municipalities in 36 regions of Russia. However 10% of respondents believe that South Ossetia should be part of Georgia.
