this is bbc news. the headlines at 5pm: boots has said it is "truly sorry" for its response to calls to cut the cost of one of its morning—after pills. former white house press secretary, sean spicer, has moved to minimise talk of divisions within the trump administration, after announcing his resignation. ijust though it was in the best interests of our communications department, of our press organisation, not to have too many cooks in the kitchen. local council say almost a thousand children are being coerced into temporary accommodation every month because of more families becoming homeless. the ruling body of cycling in the uk has voted to adopt a new code of conduct. also in the next hour: the government plans to bring in closer monitoring of drones. owners of the small unmanned aircraft will have to register and take safety awareness courses.

airline pilots have welcomed the move. a british grandfather's won £2 million by finishing fourth in the world's most prestigious poker tournament. christopher nolan tells the story of the dunkirk evacuations in his latest blockbuster. we here mark mod's thoughts on this and the other releases of the week in the film review. boots has apologised for dismissing calls to cut the cost of its contraceptive morning—after pills. the pharmacy had refused to drop the price of the medicines, because it claimed that doing so would "incentivise inappropriate use". today, the firm apologised

for what it described as its poor choice of words and said it would look for cheaper brands. campaigners have welcomed the move but say it should have come sooner. our only disappointment is that it's taken this long, and really the threat of a boycott by its customers for boots, to reach this position. this was a position reached by superdrug and tesco far earlier. earlier i spoke to caroline farrow, columnist for the website conservative woman, who said boots should not have been pressured into apologising. we don't live in a society where retailers should be forced to sell you something at the price you want them to sell you. i don't go into a dress shop and say, i'd like this, i need it but i can't afford it. you need to sell it to me much cheaper. this is not how the market works.

we see this with alcohol, tobacco and food. we see a fizzy drink tax, obesity tax, received... but boots is a retailer. they are there not to pass moral judgment, they are there to provide product at a good price. this drug can be priced at a much lower price point. and it is often. it can, but boots are not actually passing moraljudgment, they are trying to optimise woman's sexual health, to say, you shouldn't take this on a regular basis. if you are, there is something going on that needs medical attention. something in your life that needs looking at

if you need to keep taking the course to this emergency contraception. it should be taken on a one—off basis. boots are dammed if they do and damned if they don't. they are looking out for people's health. i think they're within their rights to say as a responsible retailer this is what they are going to do. we don't quibble about responsible drinking, eating, exercise, all other areas of life we borrowed moderation and responsibility. as soon as you start bringing this into sexual morality, people say you are being judgmental. actually, there is a way to optimise sexual health. that was caroline farrow, columnist for the website conservative home. donald trump's spokesman, sean spicer, has said he had to resign from the post because there would be "too many cooks in the kitchen".

he announced his departure after the president appointed a new communications director. it comes as mr trump's son and other key officials face questioning in congress about their links to russia. richard galpin reports. just six months into his presidency, donald trump and his administration are beset by crises. most damaging, the growing scandal over russian interference in the election, allegedly to help donald trump into the white house. in response, big changes are now under way in the trump team. his press secretary, the latest to leave the white house. the new seniorfigures in the communication department are anthony scaramouchie and sarah huckerby—sanders. i think it was in the best interests of the communications department, to not have too many cooks in the kitchen.

so i think that is a good quality. they need the team here that work so hard, so tirelessly to advance the president's agenda to have clear leadership. i thought it would be confusing having additional people at the top. this is one of the people who now poses the biggest threat to the trump administration. robert mueller, the former fbi director, overseeing the investigation into the alleged links between the russian government and trump's campaign team. next week donald trump's son and son—in—law, jarod kushner, are due to testify. the white house is in urgent need of a beefed up team to defend itself. president trump is getting ready for a scorched earth campaign. they are going to fight very hard against this investigation, which is coming closer and closer to things that make the white house very uncomfortable. sean spicer, he wasn't a good press secretary by any means. he wasn't a particularly honest man,

but he was somebody who was recognisably from the familiar world of political communication. donald trump has always dismissed the allegations of collusion with the kremlin. but the investigation is closing in steadily, putting him under intense pressure. richard galpin, bbc news. here, the government plans to introduce a registration system for drones because of growing concern about the risk they pose to aircraft. drone owners will have to complete a safety awareness course. dozens of near misses have been reported in the past year, asjoe lynam reports. drones are very useful devices. sometimes they are used where they shouldn't be. gatwick airport has confirmed that some flights have been disrupted this evening by a drone in the area. not the first time a drone had flown close to a runway but enough to close down gatwick airport

for a short while three weeks ago. pilots have long complained that unmanned vehicles could fly into their engines, causing accidents. drones are being used to fly drugs and mobile phones into prisons. now the government wants to act by forcing all drone users to register. the new rules mean that any drone weighing more than 250 grams would be registered and the owners have to complete a safety awareness test when they buy them. and new technology to prevent drones flying near airports or prisons will to be expanded. it can be a danger to aircraft and individual users, so we need a registration scheme, this is about geolocations and geofencing to stop them being flown near sensitive areas. it is about getting the balance right between the needs of the users and the dangers on the other part. the government wants

all drones of more than 250 grams to be registered. but that is not much heavier than a mobile phone. but military experts say that drones as light as 400 grams can damage a helicopter. and drones of two kilograms can take down a plane. but drones enthusiasts say that the rules may penalise the responsible users. the problem is other people who have no knowledge, they don't know how to fly, theyjust go and buy the drone and go up in the sky maybe, 1,000 feet high. this is the problem. not us the problem. and the new rules will be hard to police. criminals are unlikely to sign up to a public register and anyone importing drones from abroad will not be covered. joining me now via webcam is elizabeth quintana. she's an expert on drones, ethics and airspace at rusi, the royal united services institute. thank you forjoining us. what do

you think about this announcement? the uk certainly not the first country to consider ringing in some measures to try and limit the potential damage from drones or the criminal use of them. certainly if you go tojapan, criminal use of them. certainly if you go to japan, most of the tourist sites that you see forbid the use of drones. in a number of african countries the use of drones is strictly forbidden, and you may find yourself arrested if you fly them. and there is this issue of balancing public safety. on the subject of public safety. on the subject of public safety, is there an actual real risk to aircraft, because it's never happened so far, and some people are saying these drones are so small that they aeroplane would just gobble them up. it's not

actually been tested, and that was the real concern. there was a near miss, they thought it was grown at heathrow airport last year —— they thought it was a drone last year, and while aircraft are tested for a bird strike, so they will feed defroster chickens into an engine to make sure that the chemist and that, those tests have not been done, or had not been done at that stage with drones. because there are lots of metal parts and precious metals in there, there was concern that it would do much more damage, and nobody wants to be responsible for taking down an airliner accidentally. there have always been remotely controlled aircraft, there have always been enthusiasts out there, why is it a problem than? buys a problem with drones? there, why is it a problem than? buys a problem with drone57m there, why is it a problem than? buys a problem with drones? it is just the scale now. the top two manufacturers, between them they

sold to 3 million drones last year alone. that's a globalfigure, but that number increases year—on—year exponentially. and the british government and certainly many other european and governments around the world a re european and governments around the world are keen to expand the drone economy. so there are lots of commercial companies that would also like to use drones for their business. the most famous example here is amazon. so we need to tackle and find a means to safely operate drones within air spaces just as we have safely integrated helicopters and light aircraft and others. but then the operators do need to know what the rules are, and they need to prove that they are operating it in a safe and responsible manner, just as we do with cars and bikes and lorries today. you can understand for commercial operators why there isa for commercial operators why there is a business reason. what about private operators, the enthusiasts? a couple of years ago by drones for

your child for christmas was the number one christmas story. how do you enforce that? this is the issue. they have not gone for a licence per se, there is a big effort to try to educate public to keep within what is fairly loose but responsible standards. you cannot fly above 300 feet, you should always be within line of sight, you should not fly year drone within 50 metres of another person. but where i live in the south—west it is quite difficult to be able to do that because it is very congested living space. and there are a lot of aircraft flying overhead. if, as you explain, you bought this for your child at christmas and you go out and try it and the drone was a bit too high, that can cause problems to aircraft are trying to land at nearby

airports. it is very easily done, and the issue is trying to be able to trackback so that if you are irresponsible with the way you are using your drone, or if in more criminal cases because they are being used by burglars and others flying them into prisons, then police have the means to trackback and try and prosecute people. police have the means to trackback and try and prosecute peoplem sounds like an immense task. that idea of tracking these drones. first off, would you even start with that? you need to encourage the registration, you need the retailers on board to help with registering the drones. should there be more done? yes, and certainly the national air traffic service and others are looking at this because currently the radar is that they use forair currently the radar is that they use for air traffic control or not optimised for drones at all. they are optimised to look at large, fast

moving aircraft, and drones fly much lower, under the radar, moving aircraft, and drones fly much lower, underthe radar, literally, and are much smaller, so not easily spotted. there is some suggestion to use the emissions from mobile phone operators, masts, to be able to fill in the gaps. there is also a technology called geo— fencing, you use your gps location and then operate... the manufacturer will deny the ability of year drones to fly into those air spaces, around airports for example. that doesn't a lwa ys airports for example. that doesn't always work because gps can be patchy particularly around high—rise buildings or high trees, or if it is a bit cloudy and rainy. and then there are other mechanisms, there is another technology called block chain that is being used in the

financial sector which again gives each drone a unique identification tag, and that would help law—enforcement officials to trackback to the exact drone if there was a criminal act undertaken. there are ways in which we can tackle this globally, but we are long way from it, and certainly everything we can do to raise awareness in the general public, but also to bring in some kind of legislation, registration, and potentially licensing is certainly something that we need to look at. elizabeth quintana, thank you. afghan officials say 16 police officers are now known to have been killed in a us air strike in helmand province. two commanders were among those who died, when warplanes accidentally attacked the group in the district of gereshk. police had just recaptured the area from the taliban when they were bombed. the nato mission in afghanistan said the incident would be investigated. the ruling body of cycling

in the uk has voted to accept a new code of conduct drawn up by government ministers. british cycling had been warned that funding worth tens of millions of pounds could be withdrawn if it didn't introduce new standards of governance. earlier i spoke to our reporter phil bodmer in warrington, where british cycling had been discussing the matter. there is a tangible sense of relief that these reforms are going through. in the end, delegates voted 94% in favour of accepting reforms. this means they have to clean the act up. cycling has had a tarnished reputation, allegations of bullying, sexism and doping. the threat of £a3 million being withdrawn from the likes of uk sport and sport england, there was a real worry that without that funding the sport may struggle.

this is what the chief executive said. how we fund the sport, the catalyst for growth that lottery funding has been over the past decade, this is something that is clearly been very important. notjust at the not just at the elite level but for investment in grassroots. the lottery funding has been instrumental. not everybody is happy, some delegates thought more needed to be done and they were worried that this takes control away from grassroots membership. british cycling now stands to gain £a3 million over years in the lead up to the 2020 tokyo 0lympics. the headlines on bbc news: boots has said it is "truly sorry" for its response to calls to cut the cost of one of its morning—after pills.

former white house press secretary sean spicer plays down talk of divisions within the trump administration after announcing his resignation. the ruling body of cycling in the uk has voted to adopt a new code of conduct. more than forty million pounds in public funding was dependent on the vote. almost 1000 children are being forced into temporary accommodation every month, because more families are becoming homeless, according to councils in england. the local government association says the number has increased by a third in three years. it wants more powers to build what are described as "genuinely affordable homes". 0ur social affairs correspondent, michael buchanan, reports. councils say more than 900 children, what they describe as the equivalent of a secondary school, are becoming homeless each month. in total, they say more than 120,000 children and their families are being supported in temporary accommodation, an increase of more than a third since 2014.

councils in the south—east and major cities are dealing with the largest numbers. though cornwall and the isle of wight, for instance, also have significant problems. the councils say they need to build more affordable homes. they want rules on borrowing relaxed so they can invest in housing development. councils need the power to intervene more in the homes market. we need more affordable housing built in the right place to provide people with decent affordable housing. we also need to be able to intervene earlier as well. rather than waiting for people to become homeless, we need to stop them becoming homeless in the first place. ministers say they are spending £550 million to tackle homelessness, and that a new bill passed earlier this year will prevent families from losing homes in the first place. michael buchanan, bbc news. train firms could be forced to reduce first—class seats on busy commuter lines to ease overcrowding. the transport secretary, chris grayling, says travellers will see less first class in the future with busy suburban

of legislation that appears to limit the judiciary, and potentially weaken the rule of law in poland so we continue to watch that situation very carefully. then, donald tusk. the european council president and former polish prime minister, who has called the changes "backwards". the european commission has expressed concern that one of its member states is abolishing judicial independence. on wednesday, it threatened to strip poland of its voting rights. the first time such a sanction would be used. the eyes of europe now fall on president duda, who, as an ally of the ruling party, is likely to approve these changes. if he does, the anger and accusations of authoritarianism in poland are likely to grow. greg dawson, bbc news. the easton area of syria, imaging

knockedit 18th green with a short putt for knocked it in. the first man to score a 62 at a major championship. as you say, that has seen the 29—year—old rocketing up the leaderboard. as for rory mcilroy, he started the day five shots off the pace, and began extremely well. he had three birdies in the first five holes, most notably a chip in at the fifth, a brilliant shot from rory mcilroy and at that stage, we thought he was going to get them backin thought he was going to get them back in contention but he has struggled since then. he just had a double bogey at the leaderboard. jordan

spieth continuing to set the pace. the latest i can tell you isjordan spieth leading the way, nine under par, two shots clear of his fellow american, matt kuchar on seven under, brooks? koepka on five under. branden grace on four under, and a cluster of players on three under par, including dustin johnson, henrik stenson, matsuyama, connelly and poulter. but rory mcilroy has seen himself dropping back to one under par, he has a lot of work to keep his open challenge alive. andy swiss, plenty more twists and turns to come, before the day is out i am sure. a year eight years after he first won a world title at the age ofjust 15,

tom daley has won gold again in the ten metre platform at the world diving championships in budapest. in a really competitive final daley led from the first round, but he was pushed all the way by the olympic champion, chen aye—sen of china. it all rested on daley‘s final dive, but he was awarded two maximum scores to secure a second world title. great britain's matthew lee finished 12th in his first appearance in a worlds final. earlier, daley won silver with grace reid in the three metre synchro springboard final, with this their final dive — a forward three and half somersault in pike. of course, both divers have had busy schedules competing in other events in these championships and, afterwards, reid said the two hadn't had a chance to practise together all week. me and tom said beforehand we will go in, have fun and see how we go, we haven't trained together in over a week. that was winging it. we are so pleased. it has been very surreal, i've had about five hours of sleep, i don't know which way is

up of sleep, i don't know which way is up that is a fantastic way of ending my first world championship. it's the final weekend at the world para athletics championships in london. this morning the british team broke their record for medals at the event, let's cross live to the olympic park. kate grey is there for us... kate, they bettered their old mark of 30 in doha two years ago. that is right, welcome to a very wet london stadium. this morning, it was glorious sunshine as we got the 31st medal of the championships, winning silver in the highjump medal of the championships, winning silver in the high jump with jonathon broom—edwards, he had to wait until day nine of the championships, he could not wait to get out in front of the london proud to put his performance out there. he couldn't in london 2012 but he could not quite be the paralympic and world champion from poland, but he thoroughly enjoyed being in front of the london crowd and got the best pa rt the london crowd and got the best part of the weather. a good start

for great britain, but a lot more to come! i was going to ask, the evening session is nearly upon us, who should we be looking out for? there are ten brits in action this evening, very busy but everyone will be looking out for kadeena cox, going for her third medal of the championships. she won the t 38 400 metres last night in impressive style, beating the rest of the field by more than five seconds, quite an achievement for someone who's only been training for three months in the lead up to the championships. she collected her medal this afternoon and will be back in action this evening in the t 38100 metres. but she has tough competition from her team—mate, sophie hahn, but she has tough competition from herteam—mate, sophie hahn, the paralympic champion and has won gold in the 300 metres, a fascinating race there. in the field, the paralympic and world champion anna davis goes on his preferred event, the shot put. he is favourite, being

the shot put. he is favourite, being the world record holder as well. and georgina hermitage is going for her second gold of the championships in the t 37100 metres, after co mforta bly the t 37100 metres, after comfortably qualifying in the heats this morning, looking round and easing across the line. so much to look forward to on the penultimate day of championships. many thanks indeed, kate gray. monaco say they've agreed a fee with manchester city for benjamin mendy. the left—back will cost city more than 52 million pounds. the left back is currently at french champions monaco, and it would take manchester city's spending on full backs this summer to £100 million after the signing of kyle walker from spurs. premier league teams have been gearing up for the start of the season next month. michy batshuayi was on target in each half as chelsea beat arsenal 3—0 at beijing's bird's nest stadium. philippe coutinho showed why he's being linked with a move

watching this week? a very big week, obviously. we have dunkirk, the new christopher nolan film, about which everybody is talking. we have city of ghosts, a very harrowing documentary from the maker of cartel land. and captain underpants: the epic first movie, which is really funny. everyone is talking about dunkirk. the scale and ambition of this is remarkable. it is and also the ambition of the release. it is the story of dunkirk told by christopher nolan who has made things like dark knight, interstellar and inception, and it is the story of the evacuation told through three intertwining strands that loosely follow land, sea and air. but although the story itself is fairly straightforward, it is told over three different timescales, one of the stories lasts one week, one of the stories lasts one day, one lasts one hour and these strands... if you know anything

at all about nolan, you'll know that he loves to play with time. that temporal elasticity. the brilliant thing about this is that he does in a way that is very clear, you understand exactly what's going on even though it is quite a complex structure. it's shot on large format film and you're seeing from the images here, they are astonishing images, great big bulky cameras. plaudits to hoyte van hoytema, the cinematographer, carrying around these bulky cameras and doing really extraordinary work with them. the film is available in numerous different formats so depending on where you go to see it, you can see it in digital, in 35, in 70... and the picture will be different and look different. the advice i would give is that make sure you see it in the cinema that you know does the best possible presentation and sound. sound is very important, it plays a huge part in this. it has an extraordinary score by hans zimmer. christopher nolan has talked about this being a movie about tension, it is not to do with explicitly what you see, it is about the build—up and the score is like a rising tide and it builds all the way

through the film. i think the most impressive thing, you know i am huge fan of christopher nolan anyway, the most impressive thing is that for a film on this scale, it is actually, the things you take away from it are the smaller images, an image of a man walking hopelessly into the sea, the image of kenneth branagh‘s face as he looks out over a lost horizon, it is a very, very impressive piece of work and it is great to see someone making a blockbuster movie that imagines that the audience are smart enough to keep up with this slightly complex structure. christopher nolan's whole thing has always been, the audience are cleverer than anyone imagines. that's really refreshing, actually. it really is. and look how well he does. he makes movies, i mean, why be michael bay when you can have christopher nolan? ijust don't get it. i feel like saying, it is what everyone will be watching. it is. and stories of the terror of dunkirk and stories of heroism and there are stories as well

in your next choice of some very, very brave individuals and i have to be honest, the more i read about this, another one i am not sure i quite have the stomach for, but important work. it is, it's a documentary by matthew heineman who made cartel land and it is the harrowing account of isis' brutality as seen through the eyes of a citizens‘ journalist collective documenting what was happening to their home in syria. they formed a collective called raqqa is being slaughtered silently and they decided that what they would do was document what was going on, to let the world know and they did that at great personal cost. here's a clip. the thing that i think the film does really well is that it pays great tribute to the bravery of these people who are doing this citizen journalism reporting. it does contain some truly horrifying images and there are several occasions on which, whilst i was watching, i had to look away. the bravery of it is that the people who were actually doing this, they didn't look away,

they saw it as their responsibility to document this stuff. but as you quite rightly say, it is a documentary that takes on very, very difficult subject matter. i think it's really important, but it is absolutely necessary to say that there are things in this documentary, quite rightly, that are very harrowing, but it is a real tribute to their bravery, that they were trying to get the message out all the time, even though their own lives were under threat. and many of them now live in germany. yes, they do, exactly. and even there, of course, there is the sense that they are never completely safe. we approach the summer holidays so we move to entirely different matters and perhaps for a younger age group? or is there something for adults too here? do you know what? i am 54 and i love captain underpants: the epic first movie. this is based on the much—loved books. if you're familiar with the books, and i am, i've read them all, i was a bit worried about the idea that someone would make a movie

but now they have. the story is, two comicbook—creating kids accidentally turn their headmaster into the eponymous captain underpants with the help of a hypno ring they got from a cereal packet. here's a clip. what's this? why, it's the paperwork to separate you two! it's really incredible. i could actually see the end of your friendship! george, do something. put the pen down or we will hypnotise you! what's happening? when i snap my fingers you will obey our every command! you're now the amazing captain underpants! tra—la—la! we've gotta stop him. why? outta the road, bozo! why thank you, vehicle person. you laughed all the way through that.

we're both laughing! you've seen it a few times and you're still laughing so that's a recommendation. and here's the thing. i started laughing at the beginning of this movie and then i did not stop. the more it went on, the funnier it became. i was sitting in a room with critics who i think were enjoying it but critics tend to be quite well—behaved, i was laughing just like a hyena. it's really funny and how great that we have a family movie out that you can take young kids to see and you will enjoy it every bit as much as them. captain underpants is a real stand out delight. that is one day at least that's sorted with my nieces for the summer. and lovely, when there aren't always the best kids films around to see. it's nice when something works. it's very hard to find something that you think will work both for the young audience and also for an older audience. i would quite happily go and see this again tomorrow. i laughed all the way through it and you know what a fan i am of the minions. this made me laugh more. funnier than the minions and that's really saying something for me. that is all we need

to hear, marvellous. what's best out? well, i've gone back to baby driver, it's still in cinemas and i love it. the fact is, edgar wright has managed to cross a car chase movie with a romantic musical and make this film which is funny and sharp and smart and as a piece of cinema, i think it is really worth seeing and i want people to see it in the cinema. obviously, it'll come out on home video at some point, but at the moment, it is one of those things. have you been to see it? it's a big screen one... have you gone? i'm going, i'm going, it's on the list. ok, you have to. i promise, it's genuinely on the list. you genuinely have to go. unlike you and your funny horror things that you want me to try and see, i am going to see this. ok, all right, fine, but you need to see that ina cinema. that is your summer homework. that is my homework. ‘cause i didn't do well on homework last week so i must do better. ah, dvd as well for those who want to stay in. well, as i said last week, you need to see the levelling. that's also your homework but the thing that's out is get out, which is this great horror thriller from writer—director jordan peel,

who incidentally is one of the voices in captain underpants. no. yes, absolutely. he comes from a comedy background. what this does is, it's kind of inspired by the books of ira levin, you know, the stepford wives, and tells a story about racism in white middle—class liberal america and it's more of a psychological thriller than a horror movie, although there are moments of horror in it. it is sharp and satirical and really, really well played and what i loved about it was, again, it's one of those films where you couldn't quite see where it was going. it's got great performances, it is very wry and i didn't know much about it when i went in and i was really surprised and i love ira levin's books anyway. i know this isn't directly adapted from them but the ghost of ira levin hangs over this and it is a really fine piece of work. but, try not to read too much about it before you see the film. ok, that's a good tip. thank you very much, as ever, mark. i have made a list of my summer homework.

there is a lot of it but i'm going to do it. start with the levelling because you will love the levelling. i'm very excited about that one. thank you very much. good to see you, as ever. and a quick reminder before we go, you can find all the film news and reviews from across the bbc online at bbc.co.uk/markkermode — including mark's top ten films of the year so far. so i have to go on and see whether i've seen your top ten. all our previous programmes are on the iplayer as well of course. enjoy your cinema viewing, it is a very good week. thanks for being with us, bye—bye. once again today, the weather is very changeable. a huge number of variations, brought about by this low pressure. you can see some clear slots there, but also heavy showers. thunder and lightning in a few areas. also this incredible picture from west sussex. a water spout, the marine equivalent of a tornado.

you can see the funnel stretching all the way up into the base of the cloud. very dramatic. this is what it looks like around 7pm. you can see the showers dotted around across england and wales. it has been quieter across the north midlands and into lincolnshire but showers are expected here during the course of the evening. a few in northern ireland, mostly in country antrim. also southern parts of scotland catching showers. the best of the weather across the highlands. the low pressure very slow moving. it will still be with us tomorrow. the showers will die away tonight, there will still be a few pockets of rain but a lot of clear weather and a beautiful sunset tonight. tomorrow, the showers will get going again so clouds will develop over the morning and into the afternoon. they will produce downpours — like today, very hit and miss. some of us will get none at all. temperatures 19—23d.

that depends on how much sunshine you get. for the golf tomorrow, it might stay dry. at lord's, a good chance of catching showers. a quick outlook into next week. the low pressure pulls away into the near continent. we are still on the back side of the low so the winds will be coming in from the north. a fair chance of catching rain from newcastle through the midlands into the south—east. western areas will brighten up. a decent day in glasgow. the outlook into tuesday and wednesday, tuesday looking like the best day of the week but from wednesday, going downhill with weather fronts coming off the atlantic. goodbye. this is bbc news. the headlines at 6pm:
