Chernobyl group in island holiday

A dozen youngsters from Chernobyl are set to visit the Isle of Man.

The children - and translators - will arrive from the disaster-stricken area of Belarus on Friday.

They will be staying with local families and visiting places including the Mann Cat Sanctuary during their month-long trip.

The Chernobyl plant was the scene of the world's worst civilian nuclear accident in April 1986, when one of its reactors exploded.
