trooping the colour parade to mark the king's official birthday. it's the first royal engagement she has carried out this year. the king, who is also receiving cancer treatment, travelled with the queen in a carriage, instead of riding on horseback as he has done in the past. charlotte gallagher reports. the princess of wales back in the public eye. riding in a carriage with her three children at the king's birthday parade. all eyes on her for her first appearance since her cancer diagnosis was announced. she was a huge draw for the crowds in central london today. this is a day full of tradition and spectacle, but it's also about family. the king and queen in their carriage. it's his first trooping the colour since his own cancer diagnosis, and he chose not to travel on horseback. the troops taking part have been rehearsing for months. every step, drumbeat and musical

note has to be perfect. the irish guards are leading the event this year and their colour, or regimentalflag, has been on full display. their royal colonel, the princess of wales, looked on with her children as the king took the salute from the parade ground next to his son and heir to the throne, prince william, himself the royal colonel of the welsh guards. the princess of wales only announced she was attending the event yesterday, and it's a welcome sign about her recovery and recuperation. although the weather hasn't been ideal, the pageantry of trooping the colour is the same, with the king braving the elements outside buckingham palace.

this has been an incredibly difficult six months for the royal family, but today they are together for one of their grandest celebrations. charlotte gallagher, bbc news. the israeli army says eight of its soldiers have been killed during �*operational activity�* in the city of rafah in southern gaza. it identified one captain and said the names of the others would be released later. israeli forces have been attacking rafah for weeks, saying hamas�* last remaining battalions are based there. meanwhile the hamas—run health ministry in gaza said 30 palestinians have been killed in the past 2a hours. let's speak to our correspondent hugo bachega injerusalem. hugo, the reports of the shoulders death —— matt soldiers death valley, in the past half hour. what can you

hostage release deal —— on both israel and hamas for a hostage and release deal. anthony blinking said that many of the points were unremarkable so, we hasn't had an official israeli response to what must have said —— mike hamas has said. the reaction from hamas was essentially a reduction of the proposal earlier today there was a video published by the palestinian islamichhad group. one of the factions based in gaza and it does appear to be holding hostages in gaza, they said the only way to return the israeli hostages is through a hostage and prisoner deal. also, the total withdrawal of israeli forces of gaza and also the end of the war in gaza.—

charter. if the wild fails to respond when an aggressive invades its neighbour, other quizzes will become embodied. it leads to the potential of a world of conquest and chaos knots of order and stability. this threatens all nations. presidentjoe biden and i will continue to support ukraine and continue to support ukraine and continue to support ukraine and continue to impose costs on russia and we will continue to work toward and we will continue to work toward a just and lasting peace based on the principles of the united nations charter and the will of the people of ukraine. president zelensky, the united states shares your vision for the end of this war and an end to the end of this war and an end to the suffering of the ukrainian people. let us all then commit to stopping the innocent children...

letters also agree to a practical benefit to our work —— let's also agree to the bank practical effect of our work to increasing peace and security. let nothing about the end of this will be decided without ukraine. by contrast, yesterday, preteen put forward a proposal. but —— putin put forward a proposal. united states is not... we stand with delegations with more than 90 nations who also have a strategic interest in a just peace in ukraine. amongst us, no doubt exists a diverse range of views of many of the global challenges and opportunities we face. we don't always agree however, regarding

putin pots unprovoked and unjustified war against ukraine, there is unity and solidarity in support of international norms and rules. for presidentjoe biden and are, it is one of our defining missions to impose whatever international rules and order, to defend it, strengthening it and promoted. no doubt, it must be a priority for us all. thank you. that was the us _ priority for us all. thank you. that was the us vice _ priority for us all. thank you. that was the us vice president, harris is speaking at a summit in switzerland where shejoins other speaking at a summit in switzerland where she joins other world leaders including president volodymyr zelensky to decide how to piece to ukraine. she says it threatens peace to all nations if they drew the world fails to respond. she said if there was felt as punk, other presses become embodied. she said

the us stands with ukraine not out of charity, but out of strategic interest. that is a little snapshot of what is taking place at the global summit in switzerland. let's look at the other global summit because ukraine was also a big part of the g7 summit which is wrapped up in italy. it has just wrapped up after tackling the topics of migration, chinese trade policy, and artificial intelligence on friday. pope francis made an historic address, championing a discussion about al. it's the first time a pope has participated in a g7 summit. italy's prime minister, giorgia meloni, has been speaking at the final news conference of the event. translation: that areas of conflict are multiplying around the world. i and we know that some saw things differently and didn't believe

that we would continue to show support for ukraine as we have. we continue to have a comprehensive, integrated, unified approach to help this nation, which has been attacked, to look to the future. italy's prime minister giorgia meloni who was speaking in the last couple of hours. james landale, our correspondent, gave us this update from the g7. as ever, the summits are a mixture of an awful lot of issues they pack into two or three days. they talked about migration, they talked about artificial intelligence, they talked about the threat from china, notjust in terms of support for russia and ukraine but also its threat to global markets. but the central focus of many of the discussions that took place here both formally as part of the g7 and also bilaterally in the margins and in the corridors here, is of course the war in ukraine. the italian prime minister summing everything up today said that there have been a comprehensive and united approach

to defend ukraine. she also said that the g7 sends a strong signal that people would support ukraine for as long as it is necessary. those are the words in terms of the actions at this summit they have agreed to raise $50 billion in a loan for ukraine that's going to be paid off, by using interest made on frozen russian assets. we have a bit more information about that today from the italian prime minister. she said that the united states, canada, the uk and japan would be the main countries providing that loan. and then the european countries would joining in terms of sharing debt. she also in her press conference summing the summit up addressed the so—called peace offering, the offer of ceasefire and peace talks made by president putin just 2a hours

ago, she described this as a propaganda move, not something that should be taken seriously. effectively, she said it is like saying to ukraine you can leave ukraine if you want to sit down at the peace talks. giorgia meloni joining others in the west in dismissing this attempt by president putin to try and get ahead of the peace conference that is taking place in switzerland to discuss ukraine's own ideas for peace. so that was the broad perspective that we got today from this g7. the italians are very happy with the way it went. i think the problem, though, is this. this is a weaker g7 than other years. many of the leaders apart from giorgia meloni face electoral challenges. it's very unlikely that the same seven people will be sitting around this table again. so the summit has demonstrated some unity on ukraine, but as ever the question will be, well what has been decided

here in italy actually last and have an impact in years to come? that was our diplomatic correspondent james landale there. one of the world leaders there was a uk prime minister rishi sunak. he is now at the swiss are where we bought you those live images of kemal harris. he has been speaking. i am leased harris. he has been speaking. i am pleased to — harris. he has been speaking. i am pleased to be _ harris. he has been speaking. i am pleased to be at _ harris. he has been speaking. i am pleased to be at the _ harris. he has been speaking. i —n pleased to be at the ukraine peace summit. it demonstrates the demonstration within the international community to see an end to the war in ukraine, and enter the suffering and peace returned to the suffering and peace returned to the european continent. it has impacted so many people in so many different ways include it at home with energy bills. we need to increase integral to... we will talk about food security, nuclear security and the return of forcibly deported ukrainian children. do

sandwiches, wraps and salads found in major uk supermarkets are being recalled because of a possible contamination with e.coli. the bacteria has not been detected in the items, but at least 60 products are being removed as a precaution. our health correspondent jim reed has the latest. a recall of this size is unusual. almost every major supermarket chain is removing products from its shelves as the hunt for the source of this outbreak continues. e.coli is a bacterial infection which can cause stomach cramps, sickness and fever. genetic tests show the 211 cases confirmed so far are all linked in some way. to date, there have been 147 cases in england, 27 in wales, 35 in scotland and two in northern ireland, though it's thought those infections were acquired in england. in total, at least 67 people have needed hospital treatment. if you have really painful stomach ache or bloody diarrhoea, those are the things that should ring the alarm bells, seek medical advice.

investigators say they've narrowed down the cause of the infection to a type of lettuce leaf and are working to identify the supplier orfarm involved. two food manufacturers have already withdrawn products which may contain the same leaf, while a third company could be added as soon as today. none of the items have tested positive for e.coli but retailers have been asked to remove them from sale as a precaution. the products named so far include 60 different types of premade sandwiches, wraps and salads. most are own—label products sold by chains such as tesco, sainsbury�*s, asda and morrisons as well as boots and aldi. a full list is on the bbc website. supermarkets are asking shoppers who've bought any of the infected products not to eat them, but to return them to a store where they'll be given a full refund. to saudia arabia, where muslim pilgrims in mecca are struggling

with extreme temperatures at the climax of the annual hajj. let me show you some live images from their now so you can see what it looks like. you can see the number of people there just from the sky, it... they look like axed, don't they? absolutely huge —— they look like ants? absolutely huge numbers of people. this is the fifth day of the hajj. 1.5 million muslim pilgrims have been making the demanding assent of mount arafat on the fifth day of the hajj. temperatures have reached the forties celsius. the saudi authorities have warned that climate change is making the hajj almost half a degree warmer each decade.

hello, good afternoon. the unsettled, rather cool theme is set to continue this weekend. more sunny spells and showers to come in the forecast. of course it isjune so in the best of the sunshine it feels pleasantly warm but plenty of showers around, heavy and thundery at times, too. and across the north of england and southern scotland in particular, with very light winds the showers could last for some time and maybe lead to some flooding. really quite blustery in the south, across south wales, the midlands, east anglia, the south of england in particular, gusts of wind could reach 40—50mph as average speeds. the showers will rattle through quite quickly towards the south, sunny spells and temperatures very much sunshine dependent so 14—18 celsius, below the seasonal average still. as we head through this evening and overnight, a lot of the showers will fade away, the winds will ease towards the south but some heavy, persistent rain just tracking westwards across northern scotland and eventually sinking southwards into northern ireland in time for tomorrow morning. it is milder here than it was last night, for most of us 7—10 celsius into tomorrow morning. low pressure sticks around through the day tomorrow, although the showers swirling around it.

but for many there will still be some showers around but certainly fewer of them. it is a slightly drier, warmer feeling day and there will be some bright and sunny spells. that is to say away from the north and west. the heavy rain will sink southwards and into central scotland and away eventually from northern ireland by the time we get it tomorrow afternoon. turning more showery in the north and west. still some more showers further south and with lighter winds they could be slow—moving but a few of them, 19 or 20 celsius in the south of england tomorrow afternoon. those temperatures could improve a little further on monday. again, a general improvement. most of the showers across eastern scotland down through north—eastern england but fewer showers further south this time and temperatures will tend to peak between 15 and 21 celsius. into tuesday, high pressure starts to try and edge live from london. this is bbc news.

the princess of wales makes her first public appearance since her cancer diagnosis — as she attends the trooping the colour parade — to mark the king's official birthday. kevin campbell — the former striker for arsenal and everton — has died at the age of 5a, after a short illness. both clubs have reacted to the news paying tribute to him. and it's arise, siralan! alan bates — the man who campaigned to expose britain's post office scandal — receives a knighthood — joining dozens of famous names in the king's birthday honours. sport and for a full round—up, from the bbc sport centre, here's hugh farris. one of the favourites — and the defending champions — feature on day two of the european championship. it's italy later, while spain

have just kicked off in their opening game. but switzerland have provided the first win of the day. they opened the scoring afterjust 12 minutes against hungary — kwadwo duah just beating the offside trap. they continued to dominate and struck again on the stroke of half—time, michel aebischer with a well placed finish. hungary recovered in the second period as barnabas varga got them back in to the game but switzerland sealed a 3—1 win through breel embolo to put them alongside germany at the top of group a. group b is occupying the rest of saturday. holders italy face albania, but three time champions spain against croatia is a half an hour in. lamine yamal is starting for spain in berlin — the 16—year—old becoming the youngest ever player to appear at a european championship. former arsenal and everton striker

kevin campbell has died at the age of 5a after a short illness. he'd been in hospital since last month. campbell spent six years with everton, having started his career at arsenal, where he won the first division title, fa cup, league cup and european cup winners' cup. he scored 148 goals in 542 appearances across spells with eight clubs during his career including nottingham forest, west brom and in turkey with trabzonspor. arsenal have paid tribute, saying — "kevin was adored by everyone at the club. all of us are thinking of his friends and family at this difficult time. rest in peace, kevin." whilst everton say — "notjust a true goodison park hero and icon of the english game, but an incredible person as well — as anyone who ever met him will know. rest in peace, super kev." news today too that the millwall and montenegro goalkeeper matija sarkic has died at the age of 26. sarkic, who was born in grimsby,

joined millwall from wolves in august last year and made 33 appearances for the championship club last season. he played for his country in a 2—0 friendly defeat to belgium just ten days ago. the montenegro football association says sarkic died suddenly on saturday morning, with local media reporting he collapsed at his apartment. millwall say they're "completely devastated" by the news. brighton have announced fabian hurzeler is to be their new head coach, and he'll be the youngest permanent appointment in premier league history. the 31—year—old german joins from st pauli, who he guided to promotion to the bundesliga last month. he's agreed a contract at the amex untiljune 2027. it's moving day at the us open at pinehurst, north carolina. the third round is under way at the notoriously tough number two course with those out early hoping to move up the leaderboard. the leading contenders won't be in action for sometime yet. sweden's ludvig aberg, looking for his first major title, holds a one shot lead over 2020 us open winner bryson dechambeau.

rory mcilroy, who's last major title came a decade ago, is two shots off the lead. the weather in florida has once again affected the t20 cricket world cup. although this time a wash—out hasn't had an impact on who might qualify for the next stage. the persistent rain led to the abandonment of india against canada at lauderhill, but the former were already through, the latter out, with both having now completed their group matches. meanwhile defending champions england face a must—win match against namibia in antigua in the next hour. england currently sit third in group b with three points. a victory over namibia coupled with a scotland defeat to australia will seejos buttler�*s side join the aussies in the super 8s. and that's all the sport for now. spain have a second and it came four minutes after their first. the midfielder who sat on the bench for the entirety of the world cup in

spain is going to start today and he's got a goal as well, spain two, croatia no. you can find more information on the website or five alive has content as well. hugh ferris there from the sports news centre, thanks for being with us here on bbc news. let's bring you more now on that tragic news you heard about in sport there, about the former arsenal and everton striker kevin campbell, whgo has died at the age of 5a who has died at the age of 5a after a short illness. meghan owen sent this from outside arsenal's stadium. i've been speaking to fans outside the stadium today who say that they're just gutted to lose such a cool member of the arsenal family. and it was with arsenal that kevin grew up. he made his way through the youth clubs, through the youth squads, and he ended up winning the league, aged just 21 years old before taking three cups in three seasons.

now, in a statement on ex arsenal said that kevin was adored by everyone at the club and all of us are thinking of his friends and family at this difficult time. now, that's a message echoed by ian wright, the other half of the famous striking duo for the gunners. now, kevin also went on to play for a number of other clubs, and in 1999 he scored some pretty key goals which saved everton from relegation. here he is talking at the time. the pressure is no different to anybody else really. and it's work. it's what i do and i'm glad for the pressure. well, everton also released a statement on paying tribute saying paying tribute saying notjust a true goodison park hero, an icon of the english game, but an incredible person as well as anyone who ever met him will know now.

campbell's former arsenal teammate and captain tony adams also wrote on x "super kev a goal machine. a giant of a man with an even bigger heart." but of course, it wasn't just football that kevin was famous for. he campaigned against racism after suffering abuse himself when he played in turkey and after hanging up his football boots, he also became a pretty successful football pundit as well. so there have been tributes pouring out from around the world and it's clearjust how much super kev, as he was nicknamed, will be missed. meghan owen there. millwall�*s goal—keeper, matija sarkic, has died suddenly at his flat in montenegro. here in the uk, we're at the halfway point in the general election campaign — with three weeks until the next government is formed. rishi sunak is at the ukraine peace summit, after attending the g7 in italy. but the other politicial parties have been out campaigning again this weekend. labour leader sir keir starmer has visited a hospital in nottinghamshire, together with the shadow health secretary wes streeting. they've been promoting

their plans for the nhs. but he also categorically ruled out imposing capital gains tax on the sale of people's homes, saying it was desperate of the tories to suggest he would. gary o'donoghue is on the labour campaign bus for us today. the polls show they are perhaps more trusted than the conservatives on the nhs. that's been true for many years. and they have a bit of an offer they are highlighting today, notably the 40,000 extra appointments and operations per week, 2 million over a year, to try and bring down the waiting list, which we know is over 7.5 million at the moment, people waiting for some kind of treatment or surgery. they have been focusing on that and also having to answer questions about how they're going to pay not just for that but also for the broader reform and broader of the health service which they are promising. their leader sir keir starmer was asked about that when he was at bassetlaw hospital in worksop with us this morning.

we have been clear about the 40,000 extra appointments each and every week and how we will pay for them. that will make a massive difference to those people on waiting lists, 2 million a year, and just as we did when we were last in government we brought the waiting lists down so we will do so again. on the broader area, yes, of course, we need money for the nhs but also we need to reform. i ran a public service for five years and i know that more money at the top does give you a slightly better service but you only get a materially better service if you reform. as far as health is concerned, we need to reform to go to the preventative model, we need much more in our communities. we have got fully funded mental health support in our community set out in our manifesto, but we have to change the model and use much better technology. he doesn't really answer the question about the wider funding. he's promising that 40,000 appointments as the first step,

but what about the wider reform, the one of transformation we talked about? there is very little detail on how that will be paid for. he talked about employing the most ever people in the nhs. people cost a lot of money and we are not getting too much detail on how that's going to happen, but this is something i think they feel on reasonably good territory about because waiting lists, of course, we have seen this week have gone up again and it is one of those areas where rishi sunak has made specific promises he hasn't really been able to keep and so labour feel pretty confident on this one. i'm going to take you back to switzerland where world leaders are discussing how to bring peace to ukraine. a little bit earlier we heard from the uk prime minister rishi sunak and we did here earlier

before that from the us vice president kamala harris and as i said, many world leaders gathered there to explore how to bring peace to ukraine, with president zelenskyy earlier having made some opening remarks at the opening of the summit. so we believe that now, we will return to that later as and when we hear some interesting lines emerging from that, but for now let us return to the election in the uk. i brought you earlier our correspondent from the labour campaign bus so it's only fair we hearfrom the liberal campaign bus so it's only fair we hear from the liberal democrat campaign bus with my colleaguejenny hill who is on there now. the lib dems have had a rather damp afternoon in the surrey countryside, ed davey enjoying a game of rounders with some of his supporters. as i say, it was rather rainy, we have been treated to the full range of the british summer. ed davey proved, as if we needed proof, that politics is indeed a very competitive sport. if he is worried about what's been

happening with reform and its position in the polls, he is certainly not showing it although i'm quite sure his aides behind—the—scenes are keeping a close eye. we asked him what he made of reform and where it sits in the opinion polls, it is polling ahead of the lib dems, though that doesn't necessarily translate into votes. he said to us, it is not something to worry about. we don't share reform or mr farage's values, and appeared to be very unconcerned, making the point that in his view the lib dems is the only party offering real political change, and therefore a potential home for any voter who might be disillusioned with the current political system. in terms of crime and policing which, as you mentioned, is what the lib dems were keen to focus on today, mr davey is calling, interestingly, for the scrapping of police and crime commissioners. these are the elected officials who are supposed to ensure the smooth running of local police forces, setting their budgets,

hiring and firing chief constables and so on. it's interesting because the lib dems were actually in government with the conservatives in that coalition when they introduced police and crime commissioners. now they say they want to scrap them. mr davey says by scrapping them he could raise some £117 million over the course of a parliament. that money, the lib dems believe, would be better channelled into front—line policing. that's been the focus of today. i did also want to give you an update on mr davey�*s knees. earlier in the week his team had him out and about tackling a pretty tough assault course, leopard crawling under tunnels and so on. we had a bit of a look at his knees today as he was bouncing around on a trampoline and i can attest to the fact he had some pretty nasty looking scabs on his knees. both nevertheless, as perhaps we have come to expect from mr davey, still a smile on his face regardless.

correspondentjenny hill they're updating us from the liberal democrat campaign bus. and a reminder that like everyday during the election have a special live page up and running online where you can get the latest from the campaigns as well as analysis from our correspondents, whilst the bbc verify team will look at the claims made by the politicians. you can find that on the bbc news website or app. staying in the uk, alan bates — who led the campaign forjustice for victims of the post office it scandal — has been given a knighthood in the king's birthday honours. emma simpson has spoken to him, as a warning this report contains some flashing images. alan bates, congratulations. thank you. what was your reaction when you found out? it was all a bit of a surprise. it was a bit out of the blue.

and, also, the time it was given. i think i received it on the lunchtime of the first day of paula vennells being at the enquiry, had a look at my emails and it was there. i thought "this is weird." is this a wind—up? yeah. to me the things are just say no. but there are a lot of people who want me to have something and i think the paperwork said they wanted to know by end of that day whether i was prepared to accept it. so it was all a bit of a rush, but a very pleasant surprise all the same. what does this knighthood mean for you? well, i think it's another string to my bow to try and drive the rest of the campaign home for the group. we've got to get the funding for everybody, and that's been my priority now for some time. and if it helps there, then great. that's wonderful. you turned down an obe, didn't you?

why? i turned down an obe at that time because i felt it was inappropriate. i mean, paula vennells was holding the cbe for her services to post office and i felt it would have been such an insult to the group to accept something like that. and a lot of people applauded me for doing that at that time. the last time we sat down and had a chat like this, the tv drama was about to air and you spoke about how you hoped it would have an impact. it did that, didn't it? it's been an incredible six months. it certainly woke the nation up to what had been going on. paula vennells has got the cbe. you're joking! we are fighting a war against an enemy owned by the british government, while we're just skint little people.

they've been really supportive and they've shown it in so many ways. i get hundreds of e—mails from all over the country and letters and cards and all sorts there and, i mean, i think it's also great for individuals in the group, because it's explained what happened to them and what they've been through. i haven't got that money and i don't know where it's gone! but you're not finished, though, are you? no, it's not finished by a long way. we've still got to obtain monies for the groups in there, got to make sure they're resolved at the end of the day. i mean, that's still causing a big problem. it's still tied up in bureaucracy and we can't seem to get through it, no matter what we do. you still haven't got your compensation sorted, have you? no, no. my compensation's not resolved yet either. as well as fighting everyone else's battle, i'm still fighting mine as well. i mean, ijust don't know.

there is always the potential that we may finish up back in court if that's what it takes to resolve it, at the end of the day. i was going to say, what's the next step? the next step definitely for us is to return to the courts again. and this time, i think we can raise the funding, i think the nation will support us if we have to go ahead with another case. have you ever thought ofjust giving up, letting it go? i could never do that. notjust for my own sake, but i couldn't do it for everyone else's sake. we've all seen the horror stories, or all heard the horror stories of people, and there are so many, and i keep hearing from so many more these days who are coming out of the woodwork and stories that have never been told. i mean, they are absolutely — it's diabolical what has happened to people. it's very, very sad. you've spent, i think, more than 20 years now devoting all your time to this campaign, to fight forjustice.

what's been the high point? was it that high court victory? i think thejudgements were certainly a big turning point. and it's a comment i often take is that i think at that point, we broke post office's control of the narrative, which they'd had for many, many years and which they used to do all sorts of things — to influence mps, to influence the media and all the rest of it, but those judgements certainly broke that and that enabled us then to move forward. what's been the hardest bit of it all? it's been such a long road for you. i think the hardest thing would have been to put it down. i mean, you just couldn't put something like this down. and, in fairness, it's always been one day after the next and you never know what the following day's going to bring, but it normally brings another victim to light, and so if you needed encouragement to carry on, it's there.

this is the best unpaid job i've ever had. it's certainly the longest! but, erm... have you had a day off? i'm looking forward to a day off. there's a rumour i'm having a holiday shortly, so i'm looking forward to that. how are you going to celebrate? i don't know. probably a cup of tea, slice of cake, the usual way. steady! laughter now it wasn't the dream return that scotland were hoping for in the euros. the tartan army were thrashed 4—1 against the hosts germany in munich the tartan army were thrashed 5—1 against the hosts germany in munich in last night's opening game. they now face an uphill battle to qualify for the knock out stages. but that hasn't stopped one family from enjoying themselves. let's speak to scotland fans su campbell and her daughter ruby who are in munich. hello to you both. thank you so much

a circular net of bubbles corrals and traps the whales' prey. it's a glimpse into the lives of these huge marine mammals that scientists captured while we were filming with them in the antarctic peninsula. the researchers get close to the whales to study their health. to observe them and to measure the whales' bodies, they use a drone. humpbacks migrate thousands of miles to these rich icy waters. oh, my word. scientists want to pinpoint and protect their most important feeding sites. they bulk up for three to five months, then they turn around and go back to the tropics to breed. now, that requires a lot of energy and we need to look at strategies to conserve whales. the drones have revealed just how the whales use their entire 40—tonne more on that on the website, stay with us on bbc news.

hello, good afternoon. the unsettled, rather cool theme is set to continue this weekend. more sunny spells and showers to come in the forecast. of course it isjune so in the best of the sunshine it feels pleasantly warm but plenty of showers around, heavy and thundery at times, too. and across the north of england and southern scotland in particular, with very light winds the showers could last for some time and maybe lead to some flooding. really quite blustery in the south, across south wales, the midlands, east anglia, the south of england in particular, gusts of wind could reach 40—50mph as average speeds. the showers will rattle through quite quickly towards the south, sunny spells and temperatures very much sunshine dependent so 14—18 celsius, below the seasonal average still. as we head through this evening and overnight, a lot of the showers will fade away, the winds will ease towards the south but some heavy, persistent rain just tracking westwards across northern scotland and eventually sinking southwards into northern ireland in time for tomorrow morning. it is milder here than it was last

night, for most of us 7—10 celsius into tomorrow morning. low pressure sticks around through the day tomorrow, although the showers swirling around it. but for many there will still be some showers around but certainly fewer of them. it is a slightly drier, warmer feeling day and there will be some bright and sunny spells. that is to say away from the north and west. the heavy rain will sink southwards and into central scotland and away eventually from northern ireland by the time we get it tomorrow afternoon. turning more showery in the north and west. still some more showers further south and with lighter winds they could be slow—moving but a few of them, 19 or 20 celsius in the south of england tomorrow afternoon. those temperatures could improve a little further on monday. again, a general improvement. most of the showers across eastern scotland down through north—eastern england but fewer showers further south this time and temperatures will tend to peak between 15 and 21 celsius. into tuesday, high pressure starts to try and edge

in from the south and the west. but low pressure still towards the north and another system across europe needs watching on tuesday. watching on tuesday and wednesday. that could produce a more showers in the south and east as we head through the middle of the week. but otherwise, a little drier and a little warmer, too.
