the road to chibok is in terrible condition, and long. military checkpoints are frequent reminders of the region's instability. we reunite with amina. she wants us to meet the parents of her friend helen. ten years on, helen is one of the more than 90 chibok girls his fate remains unknown. how does it make you feel when you see some of the girls that escaped?

do you feel let down by the government? the kidnapping may have happened ten years ago but the pain goes on. where did you use to stay? where was your dormitory? amina wanted to visit her old school. it's the first time she has been back since the kidnap. how does it feel, being back here after ten years, to the place where everything happened? are you feeling 0k?

showery rain pushing its way southwards on a weather front. lots of heavy showers following in behind in colder air, so snow over the mountains. it takes longest to get to southern and eastern areas but temperatures hold up above freezing because of the strength of the wind which takes us through the day today. this line of really intense rains giving some tricky travel conditions, the winds picking up to strong gale—force around the coasts in the west and the south, and lots of showers with hail, with thunder, with snow over the hills and mountains across northern ireland, scotland, possibly the pennines. look at the temperatures — just 9—12 degrees celsius, and it will feel colder still when you add on that wind that will be buffeting the uk. so, squally winds near those showers which continue well into the night and into tuesday. by that stage, our low pressure's moving out into the north sea, so the winds come down from the north again — enough of it, we think, to prevent a frost in many areas, just like we'll see in the morning the glens of scotland, really. but that cold northerly wind will continue to feed showers

into particularly central and eastern areas, fewer further west, but there will be because of the northwesterly, some coming into the west of scotland and into northern ireland but perhaps fewer showers in the west generally compared with monday. but a bracing wind in the north sea coast — a0—50 mph gusts of wind, still holding on for the likes of east anglia so, again, it will feel cold, despite 12—1a inland. i suppose, outside the wind, outside the showers, with more sunshine around, it will feel a little more like mid april. but we have to get to the end of the week to see high pressure building in because still on wednesday, we've got low pressure in charge towards the east. these weather fronts rounding western areas, just giving patchy rain or drizzle, so things start to settle down later — in fact, temperatures pick up as we head towards friday as well.
