The time is 7 o'clock and this is Anderson Brown with the news. Investigators are being sent to discover the cause of the plane crash late Wednesday on the

island of Tenerife. The plane, a Boeing 727 taking German holiday makers to the island crashed into a hill side as it circled while preparing to land. The

plane was carrying 126 passengers. It is thought there were no survivors. Rescue workers are at the scene.
The 500 UK motor workers who had been on stirke in High Town for the past 3 weeks went back to work this morning. This follows successful talks between

management and union representatives, which resulted in a new agreement on working hours. A spokesman for the management said that they hoped they could now

go back to producing cars as they had lost a lot of money and orders.
And finally, the weather: After a cold start, most of the country will be warm and sunny. But towards late afternoon, rain will spread from Scotland to cover most places by midnight.
