6:24 pm
after collapsing on stage in connecticut. the cause of his death isn't yet known. 53—year—old fatman scoop was known for his booming voice and his energy on stage. he came to worldwide attention in the early two thousands for his guest appearances with artists such on friday night but then he collapsed midway through the performance, another local mayor said in a facebook post that he was taken to hospital but we now know from his representatives that he has died following that collapsed on stage. for those who may be unfamiliar, his real name is isaac freeman, he was 53 years old, and he was seen as a influentialfigure in old, and he was seen as a influential figure in the hip—hop scene in new york. he collaborated with some really big names like mariah carrey and would be and janet jackson and would be and janet jackson and a song he did with missy elliott won a grammy award back in 2005. as you mention, his loud, booming voice was very distinctive, his music is still played in lots of night clubs
6:25 pm
and festivals to this day and probably what he is best known for is that song. it was released back in 1999, not that much of a hit initially but it was a bit of a grower and by 2003, it reached number one in the uk and in ireland. it was alsoa the uk and in ireland. it was also a top 20 hit in australia and in lots of european countries.— and in lots of european countries. ., �* ., . “ countries. you're watching bbc news. plenty of warm sunshine, particularly northern and eastern areas, but it was cloudier further south as we go into the first part of september. it looks like conditions will turn increasingly warm and humid, and there will be thundery showers, which will become more widespread and some that could be torrential. the cloud we've had across southern areas associated with this weather front around this area of high pressure, and that will be drawing in some warm and humid air, mainly to england and wales as we head through tonight. so there'll be cloudier skies across england and wales. chance of a few heavy, maybe thundery showers pushing up across southern areas. scotland, northern ireland
6:26 pm
probably seeing the clearest of the skies throughout the night so again could be quite chilly across some central northern parts of scotland, but double figures elsewhere. mid—teens for england and wales no lower than around 16 or 17 in the southeast. so for part two of the weekend, the 1st of september looks cloudier. i think for many of us probably the best of the sunshine towards the north west. as we go through the afternoon though, we'll start to see increasing showers and thunderstorms developing across england and wales. hit and miss showers. many places will avoid them, but if you catch one it could be quite torrential, possibly with large hail as well. now towards eastern parts it will stay quite breezy, so a little bit cooler along north sea coast. otherwise a warm and humid day for many, could be in the high low 20s further north. as we head through sunday night, we hold on to the risk of showers and thunderstorms pretty much anywhere, but they will be extending further northwards as well. so by monday morning we're all in that humid air with mid—teens there for the central belt of scotland. same to for belfast. no lower than 16 or 17
6:27 pm
across the southeast. for monday looks more unsettled. we've got this weak area of low pressure across the country, but it'll be strong enough to generate a lot of cloud and plenty of showers and thunderstorms. again, the details are a bit sketchy this far out, but it does look like we could see some thunderstorms across more central and eastern areas and across some western parts too. but again, this could change. the best chance of seeing some sunshine could be towards the southeast, where again, we could be into the high 20s with high humidity. but generally it's the high teens, low 20s for most stays unsettled i think, as we head into tuesday. but then wednesday onwards, it looks like high pressure may start to topple in again from the west. that will settle things down for many of us with increasing amounts of sunshine. take care.
