vww h 'u fi ‘ur vw mi “5555 it 55515 5a something without thinking through the full run of occasions of their policy. but this is a case with painful consequences. it's hard. the whole family. when you try this explain to the family, they couldn't believe it. understanding knife crime. if you want to see one thing to help you do that, you want to watch this film. first, a must see when used. seeing that at such a young age, i don't want to say sheet, it may be realising that it is quite horrible that it can happen to quicken the finger. we reflect on why gangs can appeal to some people.

and hopefully offer them but alternatives. and this... on the basis of its latest results, netflix is looking increasingly invincible. as it found a sustainable business model? stranger things have happened. this nightmare is happening. it's a backlash against a backlash. some years ago, the government clamped down on immigration. now the consequences of that populist measure of boomerangs back to thwack the government in the face. today, theresa may acknowledged the issue to caribbean leaders. it was an upgrade on the apology from the home secretary yesterday. i want to reassure them

that i take this issue very seriously. the home office is dealing with this as well and efficiently and swiftly as they can. giving them the reassurance. efficiently and swiftly as they can. giving them the reassurancem emerged that in 2010, disembarkation cards were destroyed. the record of the person's arrival date that could be helpful in determining whether they had arrived at a point when it was legal to settle here. our political editor nick watt is here. the government has apologised. do they recognise the policy of a more hostile environment was a mistake all those years ago? not quite. i do

sense in men's concern in whitehall hence that apology but i don't sense reg retful hence that apology but i don't sense regretful theresa may was doing as home secretary. i sense whitehall big ring. feeling the number ten initially refused that meeting and the home office have not handled this very well to which civil service workers have said officials we re service workers have said officials were implementing agreed government policy. i really have to say, are not picking up among ministers, and ministers who might be prepared to criticise the prime minister, a feeling she did make big mistakes. in those days, immigration was higher. there was a concern there was a strain on public services. you have to be very careful with it. one minister who is a leading figure on what is described as the one nation wing of the tory party, there was too much emphasis on numbers and if you focus on numbers, talking about

how this was a casualty of that approach. but this person did say to me that theresa may did go to this issue very quickly this week. the period we were talking about when the more hostile policy came in, it was not a conservative government, it was a coalition government. to immigration acts. one in 2014 and one in 2016. some of these measures would have been signed off by nick clegg. he chaired the cabinet subcommittee which oversaw the work of the home office. polly mckenzie, one of his senior advisers, was tweeting this afternoon. a climate created by theresa may. this afternoon, i spoke to norman baker who was a liberal democrat minister in the home office. this is what he had to say to me. i do regret that went through. this is a constant

tank moving forward. week after week, to try to deal with immigration. to be quite honest, you couldn't stop everything. the tank rolled on. real anger with the liberal democrats. we need to distinguish the illegal immigrants from the legal ones. in 1973, britain gave permanent rights to reside here to commonwealth immigrants who had already arrived. back then, we didn't keep a register of the names. this is not a problem that would arise in the country that has id cards but we are allergic to id cards in this country. you could look at this hell case as an example of poor government record—keeping. let's ta ke of poor government record—keeping. let's take a few minutes to watch

this is meant forjunior green and his sister doreen. firstly i was born in jamaica, his sister doreen. firstly i was born injamaica, in 1956. his sister doreen. firstly i was born injamaica, in1956. i his sister doreen. firstly i was born injamaica, in 1956. i came over with my mother when i was 15 months old and arrived in england on january, 58. see you have been in the uk since 1958? 60 years. yes, a long time. do you have any childhood memories of jamaica? i've got none whatsoever. i'm an englishman. i've worked in this country, i've lived in this country. i am an englishman. you've never left. i've never left the country. 60 years. in 1993, junior green received a letter with a home office stamp saying that he

can remain indefinitely in the united kingdom but when he tried to get this certified on his jamaican passport in 2009, the home office asked in each of the previous ten yea rs asked in each of the previous ten years to asked in each of the previous ten yea rs to prove asked in each of the previous ten years to prove that he had lived in the uk. then putting the onus on anyone to go back ten years. there keeps records the ten years? you wouldn't think that you would need to because you had grown up all your life in this country. junior says that twice as application to update his passport with the correct these information was rejected. in march last year, junior and doreen's mother was taken ill injamaica. last year, junior and doreen's mother was taken ill injamaicam ididn't mother was taken ill injamaicam i didn't see her, if i didn't go, i probably wouldn't see her alive again. so that was a choice i had to make. so i went. like i said, i had all the evidence showing that lived in the country so i thought there

would be no problem. their mum, joyce, passed away injune with junior by a —— withjunior by her side but when they got to the airport to return, there was a problem. junior was not allowed onto the flight. i was upset. i burst into tears, quite honestly, with my sister consoling me. i don't know what happened. i couldn't understand why. junior was stuck in a country alien to him. he applied for a returning visa but the weeks turned into months. his mother's body was repatriated back to the uk but he missed her funeral. for him, being left there by himself, no immediate family, i could just imagine what he was going through. it must have been very, very hard for him but we spoke every day and we kept trying to keep him upbeat because you hear rumours

that this returnee resident thing can take up to six months so he thought, i could be here for six months. it was hard. and i think it's hard for the whole family, and i think and i think when we tried to explain to the family why he wasn't there, they couldn't believe it. the foreign secretary of the caribbean nation of st kitts and nevis is with us. it's sad. in september, his local mp toby perkins contacted the home office and he got his visa to return to the uk later that month. it was an inhumane situation

and i and so many of my constituents were disgusted on junior and his family's behalf. the stress this has caused the family is clear and junior says he's had to leave his job because of the emotional and mental strain. what people want is something that... assurances that they can stay, this is their home, this is where they've lived for all these years. we want to make it official, because we've done our part. we've helped england get to where they are now, right? so, it's time for england to help us now, and the home secretary needs to get on with it because there's too many people out there who are just waiting for a knock on the door, or who was waiting for a knock on the door, to tell them that even though you've been here 60 years you've got to go back to a country that you don't even know. james clayton reporting there. joining me now is the foreign minister of st kitts and nevis, mark brantley.

good evening. you heard the apology from the prime minister today. does it close the matter? i don't think it closes it. it opens the dialogue now. the apology is welcomed and i think it was well received in our region. i think at the end of the day there are other issues, what is a process now to deal with this. they are going to expedite it. is that enough or is there...? there are other issues. there is the report we've just seen here. how do you compensate people? how do you deal with the very real trauma ? this debate has been talked about as if it's part of an immigration debate but remember when the windrush generation came here, they were not immigrants properly construed, they were coming as british subjects from british colonies.

we will all part of the british empire when they came. we would have come 40—50 years ago to help rebuild this country after world war ii. i agree the contribution has been made by caribbean born british nationals and it's time for the uk government to do the right things. to treat them in a responsible way. absolutely. as we watched that film, do you think if the family had been white they would have had to endure that experience? it's difficult to say. i don't know if this revolves around an issue of race, i think it's an issue of misguided policy or perhaps an unintended consequences. as i sat in the meeting today with prime ministers from the caribbean region, i felt that your prime minister here, theresa may, is perhaps best placed to deal with this fiasco. clearly she was home secretary when many of the rules went into effect that are now having

these disastrous consequences. some people say that as home secretary she was pandering to populist opinion, being seen to be doing something about an issue of concern and didn't think it through. would that be your take on what happened as a politician myself, i understand that we try best to frame policy and it doesn't always work. i think i am prepared to try to give the prime minister had the best of her statement, to take her at her word and to insure and we in the caribbean intent to our high commissioner is here to continue to push and ensure that this so—called windrush generation are treated fairly and to be given their place here in the united kingdom. this has been talked about for a while. when did you first become aware of it? when did your team noticed?

based on briefings that we have had, this issue has been knocking so they were told. they were told. the truth is, and this is one of the tremendous value of the media, because i think the media are here played a critical role in making this issue topical. it has come now on the eve of our commonwealth heads of government meeting, and so it is a major distraction, if you will, that this now, this sort of dirty laundry is being aired at this particular time. so i think the timing and the role of the media have been critical. what do you think of the immigration debate in britain now? we are meant to be projecting ourselves as a post—brexit global nation, not retreating from the world at all. i think immigration not only here, in the united states and the rest of europe, has become a very topical issue.

it is an issue even in the caribbean as we have intraregional travel. what i will say is countries clearly have the right to determine who they let in and who they don't let in. this particular generation of people, i think, are the exception, because they would have come when they were british nationals. but i think the way that the british government deals with the windrush generation might have implications post—brexit in terms of how europeans living in england are to be treated, and vice versa. how people from england and living in europe are to be treated as well. thank you very much. we did ask the government to come on the programme to talk about the treatment of the windrush generation this evening, but they said nobody was available. there was another political story today. the government has had a difficult day, but it has not been plain sailing for labour with a commons debate on anti—semitism. nick is back with me. what happened ?

well, there were some very powerful speeches in that debate, as you say, on anti—semitism. a number of labour mps stood up to talk about anti—semitism in the labour party, and it is interesting that tom watson, the deputy leader of the labour party, sat on the backbenches between two of those mps, luciana berger and ruth smeeth. ruth smeeth talked about the online abuse she has had to put up with, and this is what she said. "first job forjeremy corbyn tomorrow, expel the zionist, bicom smear hag bitch ruth smeeth from the party." "this ruth smeeth is britainophobic, we need to cleanse our nation of these types." "#jcforpm. deselect ruth smeeth asap. poke the pig, get all the zionist child skinner scum out of labour." madam deputy speaker, last month we heard a plea. enough is enough. i stand here today to say that we will not be bullied out of political engagement, we are going nowhere,

and we will stand and keep fighting until the evils of anti—semitism have been removed from our society. cheering and applause speaker: order, order. applause there is a lot of bad blood in that party. are they really able to carry on working together and sort of pretending everything is normal? well, it is important to say that diane abbott, speaking for the leadership, has said that she has fought racism all her life and racism include anti—semitism and she has fought back, but what you're seeing is profound differences as ruth smeeth and supporters ofjeremy corbyn have profound differences on that and profound differences on syria. i don't see a new party forming from within the labour party at the moment. at the moment, i see an uneasy truce. the intense concern over knife crime in london has perhaps ebbed in the last few days, the media has slightly shifted its gaze, but unfortunately people continue to die. an 18—year—old was killed in forest gate in east london last night. everybody has a theory

as to what is fuelling the violence — cressida dick, the met police commissioner mentioned one factor — social media as a force that escalates violent feuds. well, newsnight exists to take some time to examine these things — and in light of cressida dick's comments, we went out to find out more about the culture behind knife and gang crime, and its presence online. this film from katie razzall, which we are about to show, is the result. and at times it is a difficult watch with some strong language, but just as importantly we must warn you about the shocking descriptions of violence. here's katie's report. i've seen the aftermath of someone dying, someone that had died, like, been stabbed in the head a couple of minutes earlier. so, it was fresh, innit. i was, like, seven or eight. the first time i saw a knife in person, i was probably, say, like 12 or 13.

and the first time i saw one used was probably like 13, 14. i think seeing that at such a young age is kind of what... i don't want to say "shaped" my future, but made me realise that... the road is quite horrible and things can happen at the click of a finger. yeah, it's quite scary. this man was a member of a gang. he wouldn't talk to newsnight unless we agreed to hide his identity. have i ever carried a knife? to be honest with you, yes, i have. i thought it was cool, because when you're young that's what you want to be. you want to be like everyone else and be cool, innit. what he has to say is difficult to hear, and highlights the awful disconnect between an action and its consequence. the whole feeling of stabbing someone is not a very nice one.

the best thing for me to tell you to do is get a thick piece of leg of lamb, a thick piece of lamb, raw, geta knife and stab it. that's how it feels, and that sound... yeah, it is nasty. it is nasty, but if you're living that lifestyle or around that lifestyle, then you're not really... anything goes, innit. anything goes, you're not really thinking about actually being done or what's happened after, or what family's lost a child. you're not really thinking about that, you're just thinking about reputation, status. i think people... actually... like, people are actually sick, and it took a while to actually see that for myself.

it all depends on what you've seen as to how far you're willing to go before you do. our interviewee has been convicted of violent crimes in the past, which he says he regrets. younger generations are now coming of age, witnessing brutality on british streets. and their experiences are being mirrored in graphic and violent music videos. # flick that shank man's face # now you've got a shit face for acting the arsehole #. the best predictor of whether young people will commit violent crime is if they've witnessed it. but what else might influence these attacks? with its often aggressive videos, drill is the latest music genre to be the target of moral panic, perhaps understandably. it has a language of its own. its lyrics often deal directly with real—life gang rivalries, that in some cases are thought

to reference specific acts of violence known to people who live in certain postcodes. the metropolitan police monitor these videos, and has in the past taken legal action to try and stop certain drill artists from performing. these videos are mainstream. this one's had 13 million views on youtube. they shine a light on a violent subculture, but for some, this type of music isn'tjust reflecting the environment it comes from. it is driving criminality. cheryl's son almost died after being stabbed. # push in my shank and twist it...# what these guys are singing about is the fact that he'll turn up to somebody and stab them in the back and twist the knife in even deeper, and if someone doesn't do what they want them to do, they'll just shoot them. and what do you think

about a video like that? i mean, they're all over everything. what kind of impact do you think that has? a negative one. it is a negative one, because what they're singing about is negative. it's negativity. if you're talking about shooting people in the back and stabbing people with a shank and twisting a knife in someone's heart, then i can't think of anything positive. and it encourages those younger to come up and want to aspire to be like these boys in these videos. and the only aspiration and the only end result is death or prison. but there's another level, says cheryl, to what happens online. quamari barnes was a family friend. the 15—year—old was stabbed outside his london school last year. he told cheryl's son the day before of a row that was escalating on social media with the teenage boy who killed him. the night he died, cheryl began to understand just how violence can escalate online. this one does a video this week or today. tomorrow, another video comes out in retaliation to the video

that he did, and it keeps going backwards and forwards, and that's how this works. it goes backwards and forwards and backwards and forwards. some of them are just talking about absolute nonsense, you know. they'll be talking about whatever they're talking about with regards to their local area. some of them are directly talking about the damage they're going to do to the other people from another area and how they're going to do it, and that's the problem because young people are picking up on this and they are actually carrying out these acts. the head of the metropolitan police said recently that social media sites rev people up and make street violence more likely. some of the videos newsnight has seen do contain specific references to postcode gang disputes, as well as incitement to real violence. we've had to obscure certain elements in order to be able to broadcast them. it's not even nine o'clock yet, fam. you know what time it is. this video is fairly new,

and it has had several thousand views already. the boys in it are making clear they're on another gang's turf. they refer to a recent attack and they're taunting them. they are saying, "don't do this. don't come into our postcode." that's on your block now. it is deliberately provocative. we've also been shown other, more shocking images that have done the rounds on various social media platforms. when someone's stabbed, the photos of their injuries are often widely shared, so too are videos, which are even harder to watch. this is footage of what appears to be a fight at a house party, where a young man brandishes a huge knife. we won't show you the gruesome aftermath, but we understand a boy was seriously injured. newsnight has seen multiple examples of young people, even children, being humiliated in online videos, including this horrific image. it shows a young man being orally raped with a gun to his head. it seems after this image went

round, others responded, calling for retaliation. it's limitless. you can send anything, so it can be someone getting stripped and slapped in their face. it can be someone getting rushed by 25 people. sorry, i hate this, but it could be someone getting raped. it could be anything. anything can get sent around. and it's these sorts of images and videos that the police believe are ratcheting up violence. we showed some of the material we found to a child psychologist who counsels young people on the fringes of gangs. i mean, i've seen them, and i feel very shocked. i feel sort of a bit upset by them and i don't want to see them again, but i suppose if they're coming up on your feed, if you're accessing them daily, i wonder how that sort of plays around with your mind and how you might think, "i don't want that to be me." and actually somebody saying, "that won't be me if ijoin them here." some of the young people i speak

to feel there's a real protective quality of being part of this gang. they have no way of relating sometimes to me saying, "i think that might be the worst thing you can do." they say, "no, no, you don't understand. they care about me. they look after me. " and that's the task, i think, lots of professionals are faced with. what we have to offer as professionals in the system, we have to work really hard to make that more attractive than what the gang members are saying they have to offer. if this is a crisis, it's one that affects a cohort of britain's young people disproportionately. a crisis that's connected to school exclusions, to the normalisation of real—life violence, and brutal videos and images being circulated online. but there may be a way out. looking back at my past, it is a bit saddening, a little bit. yeah. because i do regret half

the things that i've done. it's not my lifestyle no more, but what's changed for me is that it is the sort of thing of been there, done that, isn't it? it's not really the way that it's glamorised. it's not glamorous. also, you grow up, innit, so you realise there are other things out there that you can do, that you can focus on, that you actually see a difference in your life. whilst some gang members will grow out of this behaviour, for those killed in this brutal battle, reaching the age where they can put this behind them is simply not an option. i'm joined now by former assistant commissioner to the met police, helen king, and former gang member, gavin mckenna. gavin, you've been stabbed, you've been shot at,

you've seen a friend die. did that ever feel like normal life to you or where you were where it was dysfunctional life? i think it becomes normal. the threat to your life is every day so you have to just adjust and accept that is your lot in that lifestyle. it was interesting the psychologist saying people want to join a gang because they feel they are getting protection. you joined when you would 12, is that right? it was a different time. i had a lot of trauma as a young child. growing up there was a lot of trauma. living in rough estates in london with my two sisters and my mum, it felt like i had no choice. obviously as you get older

you realise, the irony ofjoining a gang or a group to feel safe actually puts your life in more danger. this is the choice they are making due to theirfears. helen, i don't know what your reaction to that film is but is any of its surprising or new to you? not entirely surprising but nonetheless horrifying. i think it's important to remember that police officers are often the first ones to come across these scenes rendering first aid, trying to resuscitate victims and having to knock on the doors of parents and families to share dreadful news. i suppose the key thing is a lot of the youngsters are not feeling like they are going to be looked after. they feel in danger and they don't feel the police are going to be able to look after them. gavin, is that what they say? yes, i think there is a detachment between the community and those higher than the police, even above that.

i think what young people are expressing is what even we as professionals don't understand what's going on for them. you can recognise in many of these groups they are built around actually supporting a drugs trade. there are older people who are benefiting financially through that who are deliberately targeting vulnerable young people who come from backgrounds where they've experienced domestic violence, school isn't working well for them, they may be don't have a bunch of friends, they aren't part of sports teams or youth organisations and they are vulnerable to being sucked into these groups. when you left the gang, and we'll talk about what you moved on to, but you were pretty wealthy at that time, correct? you had a car... i was all right, yeah. crime pays, obviously. that's the motivation. a lot of people benefit financially from this lifestyle.

that's what entices young men and young women into the lifestyle, the financial gain. helen, here's a question. should we be trying to work with gangs rather than against gangs? should we be trying to say we recognise this gang, we know the names, we recognise your gang. we'll try and get you something constructive to do. is that it completely impossible task? rather than trying to dismantle them, when people feel really closely tied. there is an approach which has been used but not have systematically as one would want, off in a sense working with gangs, normally starting off with the likes of mothers, girlfriends, partners, to try and encourage gang members to come together, and the police together with other agencies both public sector and voluntary sector, saying you've got a choice.

if you carry on committing crime, violence, drug dealing, we will come down hard. you need the community's support for this because agencies need intelligence to take the assertive action they would want to. but at the same time it's really important, and you heard the young man in the film talking about choices and not feeling like he had any. so, providing choices. a scheme started in brixton police station which has been rolled out called divert. it's about working with people when they are in custody which is seen as a crucial moment to save you've got choices, and providing training, job opportunities, trying to create those choices. it's got to be better than the gang. what's your take on working with gangs as opposed against them?

that's what i do. for me, it's looking at more than the gang element, looking at the child and what's behind the behaviour of being a gang member. you got out of it, through the church. you found salvation through the church. i'm born—again christian so faith was a major part of my transformation. i think relationship is what led to that point. i think the right people in the right places at the right time. people like helen was saying in the community or voluntary profession, going into communities affected by crime and meeting those kids where they are and saying there is another option. you can say there's option but if you provide that way out... the drill music culture, is it sensible to say we should clamp down on it, ban it? is that instinctively what you... ? it's not helpful but sometimes rather than banning things which glamorises it more, for some people music is their salvation, for some it's sport, its youth organisations. some of the police volunteer cadets were on the edges of gangs

and are now turning their lives around. we've got to create those choices. thank you. netflix shares soared today on the back of its latest results and subscriber growth. the company now has 125 million subscribers spread across the bulk of countries in the world. compare that to the bbc — the beeb gets 26 million television licences — call that 26 million subscribers. netflix is adding an extra seven or eight million to its base every three months. content and growth are the business model — make new content, attract new subscribers, you thus make the content more valuable and repeat the process. many assume that it is now the great media disruptor. but then tech companies often defy gravity on the promise of future profits.

is netflix one of those, or one that's cracked it? our business editor helen thomas reports. is one media growth property starting to tower above the rest? hard to believe the company striking fear into media bosses started out sending dvds through the post. it's only 11 years since netflix began streaming films online, and only five since it premiered its own content following frank underwood's similarly rapid ascent. power's a lot like real estate, it's all about location, location, location. since 2012, when netflix launched in the uk, the company have added 100 million subscribers globally, and it's showing no sign of slowing. but, eyeballs don't come cheap. i'm currently out—ranked by my eight—year—old son! they're lured in by hit shows like the crown. netflix‘s content spending puts it in the tv big leagues,

with the likes of fox, time warner and disney, well ahead of other traditional tv networks or online rivals. this year, it plans to spend $8 billion. but, is this splurge also defensive? as providers like disney pull content off the platform, netflix needs its own to fill the gap. netflix reckons it will have 80 original films this year, and about 700 original tv shows new and old available. but, it expects negative cash flow of up to $4 billion, and to be burning through cash for several years to come. its long—term debt has nearly doubled in the past year. yet netflix‘s share price has rocketed more than ten times higher than five years ago, outstripping tech peers like amazon, facebook and google.

go—go growth make this juggernaut seem unstoppable, but a slowdown or strategic mishap could refocus attention on the comforts of cold, hard cash. let's reflect briefly on netflix. joining me now is guardian tv journalist ali catterall. people say you've seen the share price goes soaring, a lot of debt. is it? to adapt the old phrase, i think rumours of netflix‘s bubble bursting have been greatly exaggerated. consider that at the beginning of this year, it had something like 7 million new subscribers. ultimately it's got 125 million. if you translate that to geographical territory that's the 11th most populous nation on earth. those people who are actually paying it money. the model can work because new subscribers don't actually cost you very much more. you are deferring the

cost of your content. completely. the other thing about netflix you have to remember, and people forget this, is that it precedes facebook and even google. it's had a long history. it started out as a dvd mail order company which ultimately helped put the hatchet into dear old blockbusters. now they are pretty much leaks ahead in terms of what they are doing and streaming media. there was a point when it was amazon prime and netflix which were going to be the rivals. amazon gotjeremy clarkson... no one talks about the phrase amazon prime and chill. that's quite true. people do say they are going to go home and watch netflix

instead of television. completely. it's causing connections with its own corporation. there was a report where they were worried that younger viewers had been caravanning in droves from either player to netflix. i don't want to sound like a she'll for netflix, other streaming platforms are available! a lot of people are selling it content and a lot of them like disney would say we should do it ourselves. they'll have another two, three, four choices. much more generic or across the board? i don't know, one of the advantages of netflix is it has a great personal models. it's a bit like amazon. if you like this, you're like that. is so there's data in there. absolutely.

what should the traditional broadcasters think, should they be terrified? like you guys? we try to depersonalise it, yes, like the bbc. i think you should be a bit worried. having said that, obviously the bbc relies on its licence fee. it's propped up by that. i don't think you need to worry overly but netflix is the way to the future, it is now the future. here we go. thank you very much indeed. that's all we have time for. i'll be back tomorrow. goodnight. hello there. just over 20 degrees

today but we are going to find sunshine far and wide tomorrow so as a result it's going to be warmer, temperatures up to 25 degrees in the south—east tomorrow. the wind lighter as well. moore coming up with disney have wind from the south coming in from the near continent still got to find the highest temperatures across england and wales. we actually had some rain from this cloud here. it's been turning too thin for a while but it's starting to thicken up again from the south and in the south—west, we will find some rain coming back through the irish sea and towards northern ireland. clearer skies towards the south—east. pretty strong wind, easing down a bit. temperatures about nine or 10 degrees. as we head

into tomorrow, we have a weather front on the scene. it's a bit further west. blocked off by this area of high pressure. we are drawing in the warmth as well. ——. up drawing in the warmth as well. ——. up into western scotland, it tends to clear away, allowing the sunshine to clear away, allowing the sunshine to develop more widely, lifting those temperatures and it will feel warmer. 18 degrees through the central belt of scotland. wednesday, as we head into thursday, this is probably going to be the peak of the heat as far as the uk is concerned. we've still got a bit of clout to clear away from scotland and northern ireland. temperatures in scotla nd northern ireland. temperatures in scotland and northern ireland will be into the high teens, cooler around some of those irish sea coasts if it stays a bit misty. inland, low 20s, 26 perhaps in the

south—east on thursday. a really warm day, especially in the sunshine. friday, we get more of an atla ntic sunshine. friday, we get more of an atlantic influence. it starts to cool down a little bit, particularly in the north. some misty conditions around the coasts, through the english channel. as we head into the weekend, the temperatures will be a little bit lower for a while weekend, the temperatures will be a little bit lowerfor a while but back up to 24 in london on sunday. london marathon day, too warm for running a marathon. the most of us, the good weather is set to continue. showers continuing to emerge out towards the west. enjoy the sunshine. i'm rico hizon in singapore, the headlines: donald trump plays host to japan's prime minister as he gives more details about the planned summit with kim jong—un. japan and ourselves are locked and
