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.
