i couldn't even pronounce one of them let alone spell it. very impressive, to him. now it's time for a look at the weather with darren bett. hello there. tomorrow marks the start of meteorological summer and there's going to be a lot of dry weather this weekend and some warm sunshine as well. and earlier today, it was very pleasant in cumbria, but there was a chilly wind blowing. some of the strongest winds have been here in norfolk, gusting a0 miles an hour. the wind off the north sea making it feel quite chilly. and around the edge of this area of high pressure, this is where we've got the strongest of the winds that's been bringing a lot of cloud to some eastern parts of england. a little rain earlier as well, but that's moving away. we're still going to hang on to some cloud for eastern areas of the uk overnight. one or two spots of rain heading down across eastern parts of scotland. but further west we're going to have clearer skies and lighter winds as well. it could turn a little chilly,
7:56 pm
six or seven degrees first thing in the morning. heading into tomorrow and it will warm up in the sunshine and there'll be more sunshine across east anglia in the south east of england, should be dry here as well. a bit more cloud, though, coming down across scotland into northern england and the midlands could bring one or two showers. otherwise it should be dry. sunny spells for northern ireland, lots of sunshine in scotland. temperatures in the central belt reaching 20 degrees on saturday afternoon. and across the southeast, it will be a warmer day with more sunshine and the winds not as strong either. the high pressure that's bringing a lot of dry weather is tending to get pushed away a little bit on sunday. and around the top of that high, we're seeing more cloud coming in from the atlantic. that will bring cloudy skies into scotland and northern ireland, maybe a few spots of rain in the northwest. some of that cloud will push into northern england. but further south, we've got some sunny spells. the winds continuing to fall lighter across south eastern areas. so it's warming up here further. highs could reach 22 degrees. and still quite warm across north east england, eastern scotland with some sunshine. not quite so warm in the west of scotland where we've got all this cloud. and that cloud will push its way southwards overnight and into monday
7:57 pm
together with that weather front, which is very weak. so there's little or no rain on that. it's more cloud that's moving southwards, followed by sunshine in northern england and scotland and perhaps northern ireland. temperatures reaching 17 or 18 degrees. further south, even with some cloud, we've still got highs of 20 celsius. but the area of high pressure is getting pushed away and that's allowing north westerly winds to come in. those will be stronger on tuesday. polar maritime air could bring some showers. wintry over the scottish mountains, still warm and dry in southern england.
7:58 pm

a comprehensive new proposal. it's a road map to an enduring ceasefire and the release of all hostages. this is a moment for all sides to take the deal. and i think they're dangling that wording about a permanent ceasefire in front of hamas, but i'm not sure it's going to be enough to bring them back. another ceasefire proposal is on the table in the middle east. president biden says israel's offered a new proposal to hamas which would see an initial six—week pause in fighting while talks would continue on a permanent ceasefire and rebuilding plan for gaza. we'll have the latest from washington, dc. also tonight, billionaire businessman, past president, now convicted criminal — donald trump's hit out at the us justice system after a jury in new york found him guilty
