hello. full uk forecast in a moment. first of all, i thought i'd reflect on storm ingunn that came across the north atlantic wednesday and hit sweden and norway wednesday night, bringing what looks like being record—breaking winds, sustained winds of 122 miles an hour, parts of norway, and 116 miles an hour in sweden. unimaginable strength of the winds. there were even stronger gusts. the gusts that we recorded were even much stronger than those that hit southern england in the great storm of 1987 — one of the most powerful storms i've ever seen, storm ingunn. now it's the lovely end to the day on thursday, fine sunsets many of you spotted caused by the clear skies illuminating the cloud out west. but it is the cloud that's going to be winning the battle, i suppose, over the next few hours, progressively turning quite cloudy, a few patches of drizzle around, some rain into western scotland, but very mild air, again flowing in off the atlantic. we see high pressure to the south, weather fronts to the northwest where it will be windy.
1:56 am
gusts of wind reaching 50 odd miles an hour across northern scotland, where it'll be damp and drizzly across western areas. elsewhere, a lot of cloud to start the day. but given it's quite windy, i suspect we will see some sunny breaks breaking through across parts of east scotland, to the east of the pennines, probably eastern parts of wales, and maybe eastern side of both antrim and downs. so you might see some glimmers of sunshine. either way, it will be a very mild day. the air gets a little bit cooler across northern areas on saturday, say cooler, temperatures coming a bit closer to average, sunshine and showers working in here. again, it's quite blustery. england and wales having the thickest of the cloud with some patches of light rain coming and going. temperatures 1a degrees, again, well above average for this time of the year. the average in london is nine degrees. for sunday's forecast, again, we've got the mild air with us, but thicker cloud this time, so probably a higher chance of seeing some damp weather at times. the far north of scotland, again, quite blustery with some showers working in here. for most of us, temperatures again on the mild side, ten to 1a degrees pretty widely. but then after this mild run of weather, might be something
1:57 am
of a shock to the system to see the weather turns a lot colder next week. and for some of you, that means a return of seeing some snowfall. now it's a little bit less certain just how cold it gets further southwards across england and wales. but it could be that we see some snow. for the time being, the models are picking up thick cloud with outbreaks of cold rain at times.

live from washington, this is bbc news. the us imposes sanctions on jewish settlers who've carried out violence in the occupied west bank. israel's prime minister says the measures were unnecessary. eu leaders push through more than $50 billion in aid for ukraine, after hungary finally drops its opposition. president zelenskyy welcomes the news. plus, the return of british funk band cymande. how the septuagenarian super group have gotten their groove back.

hello, i'm caitriona perry. we begin the program with two new developments from the biden administration in dealing with events in the middle east. first, presidentjoe biden has approved sanctions on four israeli settlers accused of attacking palestinians in the occupied west bank. biden signed the executive order saying violence in the region had reached intolerable levels. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu says the vast majority of settlers are law abiding — but israel takes action against law—breakers and there was no need for the measures by washington. violence against palestinians in the west bank has spiked since hamas launched an unprecedented attack on israel on october 7. the united nations estimates about 370 palestinians have been killed in the west bank since then. here in washington, the us state department urged israel's government to do more to stop the violence against civilians.
