12:56 am
we'll see you soon, bye—bye. hello. the weather over the bank holiday weekend was quite changeable for many of us, and more of the same in the days ahead. tuesday for many will be a rather cloudy day, rain at times, a bit of sunshine, i think, later on in the afternoon. now, the weather front that's approaching us is already visible on the satellite picture. it's not particularly big, it's not going to be particularly wet, but i think enough of the low pressure to give us a fairly dreary day, at least for a time. now, through the night, cloud and rain will approach western parts of the uk, but towards the east, it's generally clear. so, from norwich to newcastle and aberdeen, i think here, first thing in the morning, some sunshine and temperatures around 8—9 — a bit milder out towards the west where we've got these atlantic winds. so, here's all of that cloud and some rain spreading
12:57 am
across the country. later in the day, sunshine developing. certainly, i think the afternoon is looking brighter in northern ireland and there'll be sunny spells in wales and the midlands. and in fact, through the course of the evening, i think there'll be some late brightness as well as that weather front slowly drifts into the north sea. so, that's tuesday. the low pressure still with us on wednesday. you can see these weather fronts are dragging their heels, and i think on wednesday, it's going to be more of a day of sunny spells and heavy showers. some of the showers will be thundery in parts of scotland and i think along these eastern counties, so the further west you are on wednesday, the drier and sunnier it'll be. in fact, some of these western coasts could end up having a beautiful day — for example, in northern ireland and the welsh coasts. here's thursday — a northerly breeze, so a little on the cool side, and i think showers may become frequent in other areas, so no two days are going to be the same in the week ahead. temperatures 16—18 celsius, so really more of the same, something that we've been
12:58 am
used to for days now. that's thursday. now you might be thinking about the weekend already. it's not long now. the high pressure is expected to build across the uk and last all through the weekend, so that does promise some settled weather and i think a lot of sunshine on the way as well. in fact, if you look at your apps, they should be already pointing to plenty of sunshine for friday, saturday and sunday, and the temperatures pretty decent as long as we get those sunny spells. that's it for me. bye—bye.

welcome to newsday. reporting live from singapore, i'm steve lai. the headlines... international condemnation of israel after at least 45 people are killed at a refugee camp in rafah. the israeli prime minister says the strike was a "tragic mishap". in papua new guinea — it's feared more than 2,000 people were buried by a devastating landslide in a remote village. in the uk — the election campaign is gathering pace. rishi sunak says his plan for a "modern" national service will strengthen national security — while sir keir starmer says his party will deliver stability and, above all, change. there's no doubt that the labour party now is fundamentally different to the labour party of 2019, when we lost so badly. this modern form of national service will mean the younger people get the skills and opportunities that they need, which will serve them very well in life. and cheese—lovers are
