for his country in all. that is it for this edition of newsday. i remind her of the racing news — the pentagon says it doesn't have a specific date for us defence secretary lloyd often's release date from the hospital —— a reminder. they have come criticism that president biden learned about the president �*s state for several days. i'll be back with business news. hello there. well, it was a cold day on monday, with a few snow flurries affecting parts of east anglia and southern england. but the big story from last week still hasn't completely resolved itself, in that we still have over

100 flood warnings currently in force. i think the situation will get better over the next few days, which won't have that much in the way of precipitation coming our way. now, the snow flurries that we did see across east anglia, in south—east england, for the most part weren't very exciting. there were just one or two areas that managed to cover, maybe a centimetre or two in just one or two spots. but as we go through this evening and overnight, particularly where we've seen showers by day, we're looking at some icy stretches, but also with a bit of water still coming off those saturated fields, we could have some icy stretches just about anywhere, to be honest, as we head into tuesday morning. so, a slippery start to the day both under wheel and underfoot. tuesday will be another cold day, with those easterly winds continuing to make it feel particularly bitter. now, weather—wise, much better prospects of seeing sunshine across east anglia, the midlands, south—east england. further northward, still a lot of cloud around, and the cloud will continue to feed in a few showers for eastern scotland and into north—east england. for the most part, these showers

will be falling as rain. 0n the whole, the temperatures not really changing very much between what we had today and what we'll have tomorrow — highs of around four or five degrees for most. by wednesday, the same area of high pressure is with us. it's changing orientation, and we're starting to get thes north—easterly winds moving in. they'll bring some patches of drizzle around some of our north sea coasts, with the cloud extending around some of our north sea coasts, with the cloud extending further southwards. best of any sunshine probably for southern wales and southern counties of england. now, beyond that, through thursday, those northerly winds continue to push their cloud sheets ever further southward, so turning cloudy across southern areas. the best of the breaks in the cloud probably to the north and west, the cloud thick enough again around some of our north sea coasts to bring a few showers, mostly light and drizzly kind of features. temperatures coming up a little bit around those eastern areas of england, but still feeling cold. and that cold theme continues through friday and into the weekend as well, with some sharp overnight frosts and temperatures below average by day. now, beyond that into next week, looks like the weather gets a bit more interesting. we get northerly winds diving in, lots of snow showers across the north. we could also have some more organised areas of precipitation

running into that cold air, bringing a threat of some areas of more widespread snow.

her cbe? in my view, yes, i would hope she would have _ this is bbc news, we would have the headlines at the top of the hour as

newsday continues straight after hard talk. welcome to hardtalk. i'm stephen sackur. one of the key drivers of human thought and behaviour throughout history has been knowledge of our own mortality. from childhood, each of us knows we will die. religion, philosophy and science all wrestle with that fact and have, in different ways, embraced the quest for immortality. my guest today, stephen cave, director of the cambridge institute for humanity and technology, is at the centre of a growing debate about the merits of extending human longevity. is it wise to seek to live forever?
