dame beryl grey, who's died at the age of 95. hello and welcome. abu agila masud is set to appear in court later on monday after being arrested over the lockerbie air crash in 1988. he's accused of being the man who made the bomb that made the airliner explode above a scottish village 3a years ago. the families of the victims have expressed both concern and delight about the arrest as our north america eidtor sarah smith reports. just a few days before christmas in 1988, the town of lockerbie was suddenly engulfed in flame.

pan am flight 103 was flying from heathrow to new york, when over south—west scotland a massive explosion in the cargo hold brought it down in seconds. all 259 passengers and crew died, most of them american, as did 11 others when wreckage fell on their homes. it remains the most deadly terrorist attack in british history. this is the man the us authorities accuse of making the bomb, abu agila masud, seen here in libya, where he had beenjailed for unrelated crimes. two years ago the us attorney general formally charged masud with making the device which brought down flight 103. the american and the scottish authorities have always stressed that they would never stop trying to bring other people to justice. it was five years ago that the fbi learned that abu agila masud had confessed to a libyan official that he had built the lockerbie bomb. now he has finally been arrested and is being extradited to the united states.

the only man to have been convicted of the lockerbie bombing, abdelbaset al—megrahi, was jailed in 2001, but released eight years later and allowed to return home to libya because he was dying of cancer. some of the victims�* families still have doubts about his conviction and about the arrest of masud. it fills my mind with questions, really. first of all, why has it taken so long? secondly, what is he doing in america? this was a crime committed on scottish, well, above scottish soil, but which came to land on scottish soil, therefore it's the responsibility of the scottish legal system. with the prospect of a new trial looming, the 34th anniversary of the bombing will be commemorated quietly in lockerbie in a few days�* time. sara smith, bbc news, washington. we can now speak to us attorney mark zaid who has spent more than 20 years representing families of the pan am flight 103 victims, and was part of the legal team that filed the first civil lawsuit

against libya in 1993. a warm welcome to the programme. first of all, to get your reaction then to the news that abu agila masud is to appear in court today? well, it was welcome _ appear in court today? well, it was welcome news. _ appear in court today? well, it was welcome news. two - appear in court today? well, it was welcome news. two years i appear in court today? well, it - was welcome news. two years ago was welcome news. two years ago was welcome news. two years ago was when charges were brought by the drop administration and quite frankly we didn't know what to make of it because it was sort of looked at as may be fluff, meaning 0k, we can charge lots of different people but the key was having physical custody of anyone we would charge, and now we do and that is a very welcome fact. 50 charge, and now we do and that is a very welcome fact.— is a very welcome fact. so it's welcome _ is a very welcome fact. so it's welcome from _ is a very welcome fact. so it's welcome from that _ is a very welcome fact. so it'sl welcome from that perspective but as you say it is taken two years, many would ask why so long? years, many would ask why so lona ? ., , years, many would ask why so lon. ? ., , ., ., years, many would ask why so lonu ? . , . . , ., long? that is a great question to ask and _ long? that is a great question to ask and unfortunately - long? that is a great question to ask and unfortunately it - long? that is a great question to ask and unfortunately it is. to ask and unfortunately it is probably an easy answer to give because we didn't have any type

in wales and south—west england. further north, we've got clearer skies and most places looking dry but after that very cold start, temperatures will struggle to get above freezing in places. through monday evening, then, still a few snow flurries working across parts of the midlands, perhaps north west england. more snow also heading in for northern and north—eastern scotland, so perhaps not quite as cold compared to sunday night as we move through monday night into tuesday morning but still, subzero, really, wherever you are, and a hard frost once again. so, for tuesday then, more snow showers across northern and eastern scotland, one or two working into the north—east of england with that cold northerly breeze. fairly cloudy skies working in from the south and again, some freezing fog that's going to be slow to clear. so, temperatures once again between around about freezing and perhaps three degrees for most of us. the blue colours, the cold air mass, still with us, and we can trace these wind arrows all the way back to the arctic through the middle of the week, so a bit of a change in wind direction, more of a cold northerly wind. that will bring still some wintry showers in the north

and east but improved visibility from midweek onwards, so we are going to be losing all the mist and freezing fog that we have seen recently. plenty of more heavy snow showers across northern and eastern scotland and north east england. in fact, between tuesday to thursday, it could be between 5—20cm of snow. largely dry elsewhere and temperatures again struggling to get much above freezing. stays cold for the working week but a little bit milder through the weekend, especially by the time we get to sunday. bye— bye.
