this is bbc news. the headlines at 8pm. political consultancy cambridge analytica, the british firm at the centre of the facebook data—sharing scandal, says it is shutting down scores of women may have died early, because they didn't get a final screening for breast cancer, due to an it failure. letters inviting them for an appointment before their 70th birthdays, were never sent. the impact may have been less than it was. if i had the mammogram in 2013 when i was 70. but i never received a letter. theresa may asks for revised proposals on the plans for customs after brexit following challenges from ministers. the boss of tsb has apologised repeatedly, for the it error that left thousands locked out of their accounts last week, he says he's giving up his million—pound bonus. and in the next hour why the world health organisation warns

that dozens of towns and cities in the uk have unsafe levels of air pollution. the steel town, port talbot in south wales, is listed as the most polluted area in the country, with about 30 other areas also exceeding recommended limits. good evening and welcome to bbc news. in the past hour — it's been confirmed that the british political consultancy firm, cambridge analytica, is to close in the wake of the facebook data privacy scandal of the facebook data privacy scandal. the company had denied using data mined from facebook to make targeted adverts during the us presidential campaign two years ago. cambridge analytica was accused of improperly gaining access

to the sensitive user information of as many as 87 million facebook users. richard lister is here and has been looking into the detail. the scandal was huge and had repercussions around the world. the brand image of cambridge analytica was hit markedly so this was probably inevitable stock of when they had been under as much leisure as they have on both sides of the atlantic. as much pressure here in the uk and unisys, they have spent millions on legalfees the uk and unisys, they have spent millions on legal fees and it according to the letter it will release today it was also driving its customers away. the tone of this letter is quite angry. it says over the past several months, cambridge analytica has been that the subject of unfounded accusations. it says

this siege of media coverage has driven away virtually all the companies, customers and suppliers asa companies, customers and suppliers as a result, they have no option but to seize business. it gives it has been done by the river harshly and then has done nothing wrong and while and change the rules of the game as the connection between data and campaign is concerned, it bleeds it is being forced out of the market was unfairly. it's the cops arrest -- it was unfairly. it's the cops arrest —— it believes. it was the customers who walked. the customer base felt they did not want to be associated with a brand episode tarnished. cambridge analytical was formed by its parent company to enter the us election process. —— cambridge analytica. it was involved in 44 american election campaigns in 2014. you can see on its west —— on its website that it was involved with it

wasn't winter campaigns. donald trump plaza campaign, ted cruz. —— donald trump's campaign. as a politician now in the face of the controversy that cambridge analytica has faced, are you going to pick them to be part of your campaign?“ there any way that they can install there any way that they can install the issues? was won by bits of it, what will they do? they are going through bankruptcy. the website is still up and running. they say they have redefined the relation between data and campaigns. they did that and where they go, there will be other companies are interested to ta ke other companies are interested to take its place. many thanks. almost 300 women may have had their lives shortened. some may already have died because of a series of nhs computer errors which meant they were not invited to attend a routine screening for breast cancer. the health secretary, jeremy hunt, has apologised after it emerged that letters were never sent to almost half a million women in england

offering them a final mammogram before their 71st birthdays. here's our health editor hugh pym. patricia thinks she's probably a victim of the major errors with breast cancer screening which emerged today. she was due a routine mammogram in 2013, at the age of 70, but never got the invitation. two years later, she developed breast cancer. i look back now and think, you know, everything that happened since could possibly have been avoided or lessened. the whole journey i went on, this traumatic journey of all of the treatment, it may have never had to have happened. today, the government admitted there had been a serious failure in nhs screening, caused in part by it problems, with sometimes tragic consequences. there may be between 135 and 270 women who had their lives shortened as a result.

i'm advised that it is unlikely to be more than this range, and may be considerably less. however, tragically, there are likely to be some people in this group who would have been alive today if the failure had not happened. labour said a number of questions needed to be answered. eight years is a long time for an error of this magnitude to go undetected. did the department receive any warnings in that time, is there any record of how many women raised concerns that they had not received appropriate screening, were there any opportunities to change this mistake which were missed? women between the age of 50 and 70 are invited every three years to come for a routine breast screening, involving a mammogram on an x—ray machine like this. but what's emerged is that some of them in their late 60s never got the invitation to come for the final screening. about two million women a year take up the offer of screening. it's thought about 450,000

were affected by the failure. some have since died from a range of causes, 309,000 are still alive. in 2009, the national screening programme up to the age of 70 was launched in england. in 2016, there was an it upgrade. potential problems became clear. in january this year, public health england was informed. i feel extremely sad for the women affected by this colossal administrative disaster, really. it's hugely significant. we have to be concerned, generally, about confidence in the screening service now. but we need to know how it has happened. women under 72 that were affected will receive a letter offering a new screening. those aged above that will be offered a chance to discuss whether a screening would benefit them. hugh pym, bbc news. with me now is nicolas beechey—newman, who's clinical director and a breast surgeon

at the harley street breast clinic. good to see you, thanks for coming. explain the procedure as it is at the moment for women who reach a certain age and then getting these appointmentsio flare 555mm : between ages appointmentsio flare 555mm : damaged ages of e appointmentsio flare 555mm : damaged ages of 50 and 70, —— cybele between ages of 50 and 70, —— they have a breast screening every three years. this appointment comes throughout letters sent through the post which is actually through your gp. you get an invitation every three years which are mailed and you pick up. is computer-generated. and we have the failure of the system right across nhs england since 2009. it appear

right across nhs england since 2009. itappearso, right across nhs england since 2009. it appear so, yeah. it might seem surprising to me that there is no back—up. there is no fail—safe encase this kind of thing happens. back—up. there is no fail—safe encase this kind of thing happenslj think we see computer it failures all around us all the time. the nhs and screening services is a pretty big service. they screened 2 million women a year. i think it is generally —— it has generally worked fairly well but it is competent at keeping track of everyone and make sure you are invited every three yea rs. sure you are invited every three years. especially if you change gps 01’ years. especially if you change gps or addresses. it is a serious failure which is onlyjust come to light. how important is the screening light. how important is the screening process light. how important is the screening process just to spell that out? breast screening is being recognised pretty well universally as being an effective way of reducing the risk of breast cancer. and most western nations that

carry—out breast screenings. the national health screening service programme “— national health screening service programme —— the nhs health screening programme say they help and save about two to 3000 women's lives. the state is very important. given this failure of the it system, hasn't been dealt with. is there any way that there can be a back—up system in place that the lead at the point on something like this?|j think point on something like this?” think that will be looked at very carefully as there will be a public enquiry into it. i am sure what really has been a good system for a long time, this is one failing, the worst failing in its history and it will be sorted out. they will make sure that it can't happen again whether that is a back up system or whatever. to ensure that this

problem will not happen again. thanks forjoining us. and we'll find out how this story, and many others, are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:40 this evening in the papers. 0ur guestsjoining me tonight are the political commentator, jane merrick and the political reporter at the times, henry zeffman. stay with us for that. the boss of the high street bank tsb has told mps that he is truly sorry for the problems that have affected thousands of customers over the past week after an it upgrade went badly wrong. many customers were unable to access their online accounts for days. and paul pester admitted that the problems were not all fixed yet — saying he could not say when they would be. here's simon gompertz. it's the bank that wasn't available. all because of a systems upgrade. customers shut out of their accounts, complaining they couldn't get help. and when they could log in, about wrong information — one shocked to be £1 million in the red. my name is paul pester and i'm the ceo of tsb bank.

the chief executive apologised to mps but said most people could now use their online accounts. the percentage that are logging in successfully are 95%. but he was told he was trying to defend a bank that was broken. what we are hearing this afternoon is the most staggering example of a chief executive who seems unwilling to realise the scale of the problem that is being faced. and it didn't impress lee, a tsb business customer who runs a delivery company in essex. he's had to pay 16 staff out of his personal account. it makes me feel frustrated. and it makes me feel really, really angry. and if he was in front of me, i would shake him and try and wake him up out of his daydream.

because the guy is in cloud nine with regards to what his clients are going through. he doesn't fully understand what we are going through. i feel that our situation should be put on him. with that level of unhappiness, mps wanted to know if the bosses would resign. are you going to lose either chairman or chief executive? erm, no. so, they are staying, but paul pester does appear to be losing £2 million of bonus. is mr pester going to get his bonus? let me answer, then. and i was going to offer paul the opportunity to say, which he has, that he will not be taking his bonus for this integration. how are we doing for volume next week? but forgoing a bonus isn't enough to satisfy lee from essex, who just wants a bank account which works. he's switching his furniture delivery business to another bank which has promised a fully functioning account in 48 hours. simon gompertz, bbc news. and after 8:30 we'll be speaking

to one tsb customer, who's wedding plans were badly disrupted, when she struggled to pay for items in the run—up to her big day, because of the computer problems. the prime minister has been meeting with senior ministers today, to discuss britain's trading relationship with the european union after brexit. theresa may has committed to taking the uk out of the customs union, but her party is split over what kind of arrangement should replace it. two separate sources told the bbc that a narrow majority had been expressing fears about her preferred plan. number ten is the ninth claims that the proposal is... here's our political editor laura kuenssberg. it never rains but it pours. especially in this famous street. so, would a custom partnership make trade deals impossible? oh, yeah. the prime minister stuck between her senior ministers. keeping schtum outside

on how they think customs should work after brexit. but on the inside, however much hurry they are in, they simply don't agree. what they're clashing about matters. how should we sort out customs after we leave the eu? well, one of the prime minister's ideas is the so—called customs partnership. where britain would collect tariffs on behalf of the whole continent when goods arrrive here from the rest of the world. but many of her colleagues think that is fanciful and unworkable, too. and are trying to get rid of that plan. brexiteer backbenchers put their objections in black and white. a hefty document, passed to the bbc and sent to number 10, described to me as a threat they would collapse the government if the idea remains. it would be extraordinary if the prime minister were to undermine her own policy by following this scheme, which sounded superficially attractive, initially, but now the details have been looked at and the consequences examined, appears to be a bad scheme.

but other elements in the tory party protest. they want to preserve closer ties with the eu and keep the partnership principle. we shouldn't be closing down options. and if i have a criticism of some of my conservative colleagues, it's that they seem to be resolute, and obsessed, and closing down options. for the two sides at home pushing the pm arejoined by the realities of the two sides on the irish border. the irish government and the eu keep warning that unless there are better solutions to the customs conundrum, the whole brexit deal could stall. we want to see real and meaningful progress byjune, if we're going to meet the december deadline. there is a real risk we won't meet the december — or the october deadline, rather — if we don't see real and meaningful progress injune. this afternoon's crunch meeting was, in the end, more like chewing the ideas over. questions to the prime minister!

but listen very carefully to the prime minister early on. does she sounds stuck on just one idea? we are committed to delivering on our commitment of no hard border between northern ireland and ireland, and ensuring we have as frictionless trade as possible with the european union's. there are a number of ways that can be delivered. "a number of ways", she says. ideas that are "evolving", says number 10. this has taken time — a long time. but in other words, no decision yet. laura kuenssberg, bbc news, westminster. the ministry of defence has, for the first time, that a civilian has died as a result of british military action against the islamic state group in syria and iraq. —— has admitted. in a statement, the defence secretary, gavin williamson, said the unintentional fatality was "deeply regrettable". the raf has carried out more than 1,600 strikes against is in syria and iraq. back to our top story that the

and cities in the uk, and around the world, have unsafe levels of air pollution. the steel town, port talbot in south wales, is listed as the most polluted area in the uk, while scu nthorpe, salford and swansea are among 40 places exceeding limits deemed safe by the world health organisation. the indian city of kanpur tops the list globally for worst air quality while cairo in egypt also has very high levels. seven million people around the world are dying due to poor air quality each year. with more than 90% of these deaths occurring in low and middle—income countries, mainly in asia and africa. there has been some improvement though — with cities including london and sheffield showing a fall in air pollution levels. as we've mentioned, this new research shows air pollution in scu nthorpe is the worst in england. hull's pollution levels also sit way above the limit set by the world health organisation. there's concern for the health of children whose schools are near factories and busy roads. kate sweeting reports. what types of pollution do know

about? to know many types. people are well aware of the significance of today positive report. just worrying me because i don't like pollution because if you could other places like india, you see how much pollution there is. it is unbelievable. it is very upsetting because it is beginning to affect wildlife. the pollution from the steelworks also causes the air to get harmed by the pollution and then that affects us. more than 30 areas exceed what are described as pm 2.5 limits. these are tiny particles that may be generated by transport industry and coal plants. each year, 7 million people have died to poor air quality. air pollution is affecting human health. it essentially struck. it heart

diseases, it is chronic diseases. it is about lung cancer. and pneumonia. heavy industry like a steelworks is certainly a contributor factor to air pollution. but north ligature council says that the air quality complies with world health organisation guidelines. we have the benefits of having one of the best industries in town. the world benefits from our residents. due to nasty words and jobs but the path as mike guillen —— given illness because of air pollution quiz about ourair because of air pollution quiz about our air quality complies with —— hill we are complying with world health organisation standards. they disagree with that. why would beg to differ with the world health organisation. councils and this say things are getting better. but undoubtably this generation is now suffering the effects of their dirty air. tomasz schafernaker

precisely how many stores face the axe. we don't know at this stage, the company isn't saying, but today's news isn't surprising because house of fraser has been struggling for a very long time. it under pressure with falling sales and rising costs. this business has 59 stores across the uk. it's got 6000 employees and then there are further 11 and a half z: seize! gee! 52:99; hi; giggegz; 5—— — — — — — ———— .. —— stores and cut costs. what we also learned today that the owner of a chinese company the future of the business depended on it, and we'll know

a huge night had come and help cut it in half. number 203 is one of seven homes to be demolished. the maryland's road which runs along the cliffs is now closed. close to the norman property, less smart install because house will not be demolished. he wants to jack it up and drag it away from the class. this is my home. i am 60 years of age now, i want to say here, i love the place and the people and the community. it is a fine place to live. where else they get views like this? the question now, what happens to the rest of hemsby? in the 1960s, the marilyn's look like this. now, most of what you see here has gone. many to be spent here is in there?‘ lot of money to be spent and we have to wait to seek out what the best way forward. who has got the money? it'll be a case of going in the environment a busy office, they have

the purse strings and such. back at number 203, en norman the purse strings and such. back at number203, en norman to the purse strings and such. back at number 203, en norman to visit video on monday. of where he has been guarded used to be. today, it took less tha n guarded used to be. today, it took less than half an hour to demolished the house. the normans were not insured. the world health organisation has warned that dozens of towns and cities in the uk have unsafe levels of air pollution. the steel town, port talbot in south wales, is listed as the most polluted area in the country. london, nottingham and york were among those above safe levels. let's discuss this further and joining me is alison cook, director of policy at the british lung foundation and andrea lee, senior campaigner at client earth. good to see you both. disappointing results from this survey by the who. alison, i surprised results from this survey by the who. alison, isurprised by results from this survey by the who. alison, i surprised by some of the numbers that you have heard?” alison, i surprised by some of the numbers that you have heard? i am not surprised by the numbers because

we been looking at this for a number of years. but i think a lot of people it think this is just a problem for big cities, with trent lott about it in london so i think it might be a surprise to people around the country to find their city or town is this list. it is really important, he wake—up call for us because these type of polluta nts for us because these type of pollutants can have very long effects and they affect people with lung conditions, like asthma or chronic instructive pulmonary disease, and they can have far—reaching effect for children whose lungs are developing. andrea, given what port of dover does, making silk, not surprising there at the top. would he do about that. -- with excel. a lot of sources and a lot of action need to be taken. the uk government has only lost three legal challenges trying to defend the poor track record in tackling illegal and half level of polluters. what is to be down all across the country. -- some would argue they try to do with pollution, saying

parts of south wales, where industry is so important in terms of local jobs, then that has a nether problem and another problem to the devastated areas. certainly. there are things that can be done with the industrial process to make them cleaner. also pollution that comes from the transfer, so the logistics and industrial sites and have all employees are travelling there. so it's really about using technology ina it's really about using technology in a perfect way but thinking about how to do things differently. we knew the uk government to help people and businesses clean—up and give them real alternatives. travelling by car, we need greater investment and public transport, we need to make clean vehicles more accessible, whole range of things and not also an opportunity to have

and not also an opportunity to have a new clean air act which would drive greater ambition, for instance, make it match the legal limits with the guideline level. we had the conservative party say if you want to be green, vote tory. but conservatives. the green party has a lot of support across the country. there is a green party mp in parliament. it feels as if this clea n parliament. it feels as if this clean environment message is only going so far or is not really cutting through. anyway that would make the world health organisation be able to say you have to clean city centre. we have seen public opinion really begin to change because these pollutants are invisible. you cannot really smelled amartey some and it is taking a lot of information to people for peoples's attitudes to change about what they should expect and the streets and towns. there is a

mandate now for local government and the national government to start to ta ke the national government to start to take action. he but understand how dangerous these pollutants are. and to what is said that people will be talking about particulates and supermarkets and the hairdressers but we really have seen that at the foundation, people are getting the message that our streetjust foundation, people are getting the message that our street just a foundation, people are getting the message that our streetjust a not safe to walk down. it's a really big problem for people with lung diseases lung condition. sometimes the pollution is so bad they can actually leave the house. not that the time that we have to take action. we have been complacent for far too long to these pollution levels creep up and although in some places we are beginning to see a little but a change, it is not enough. we need to do far more. we have had a big debate about petrol and diesel. that debate doesn't seem to have been resolved in this country. certainly perhaps as far as the government is concerned. a lot of motor manufacturers say you need

to explain that maybe you can get clea n to explain that maybe you can get clean diesel for instance. that perhaps diesel isn't the big bogeyman in all this. do you think there is enough of a clear sense of there is enough of a clear sense of the rx and from the public as to what options there are when it comes to motorca rs? what options there are when it comes to motorcars? no, ithink what options there are when it comes to motorcars? no, i think the government hasn't been easy for far too long. they knew about the problem highlighted by diesel did was show that a lot of diesel cars we re was show that a lot of diesel cars were being produced that were polluting a lot more on the road than they were in the low boards or chat. it knew for a long time the being broken in the us for the come out with that. we have seen it very little action to hold the car industries to account in germany, the german government have managed to get the car manufacturer that commit 250 million euros to contribute to the clean air fund that would help individuals and

businesses move on cleaner vehicles. but in the uk we have not seen anything like that and people obviously are rightly confused because one minute they're being told that diesels are the most environment differently options than this things revealed that the health impact pack it is having on us. the claims that others clean diesel, you can get cleaner diesel perhaps although, some other monitor testing of new diesel vehicles and cars last year we re of new diesel vehicles and cars last year were showing that some of them we re year were showing that some of them were polluting more than newer diesel lorries. you have a loris that are cleaner than cars which would amaze a lot of people. there is to that needs to be done. and people by diesel in good faith. we would like to see a scrappage scheme to enable people to get rid of their most polluting diesel cars. get them off the streets as streets as fast as possible. what is the one thing the government can do tomorrow that would help the situation?” the government can do tomorrow that would help the situation? i would really like to see them support local government. all elected to be

a new clean air act, which tested agenda for this country and makes us agenda for this country and makes us a world leader and air quality and i would really like is a national government support in local government support in local government better to take local action to make the streets safer. thank you both forjoining us. the wife of an army sergeant, who's accused of attempted murder for allegedly tampering with her parachute, said she "expanded" her claims to the police in an attempt to hurt him. victoria cilliers who's 41, survived a 4,000ft fall, during a jump in wiltshire. emile cilliers denies the charges. from winchester crown court, duncan kennedy reports. driving herself to court today, victoria showed no obvious physical signs of the injuries he suffered three years ago. she's been given evidence about her husband, male, who the prosecution say tried to kill her by sabotaging her parachute. where this cannot be physically cannot fly properly, . ..

since 2010, according to a survey of british employers. the phenomenon is known as present—eeism and the report by the chartered institute of personnel and development, a professional association for human resource management professionals, found that 86% of employers questioned said they had observed it among their four point six million workers. leave—ism, the practise of working while on annual leave, was reported by 69% of respondents. joining us now is the president of the chartered institute of personnel and development, professor cary cooper, who has also written a book on presenteeism, to be published later this year. thank you for being with us. presenteeism, is that a new phenomenon? it is a relatively new phenomenon. what we start looking at

during a recession but that's what was happening is during that, at city with stagnating and you wouldn't think that. so many people losing theirjob, so we then started to find out that what people were doing is because the were feeling so job is secure and so many people having lost a job, they were actually turning up to work till frequently because what they didn't wa nt frequently because what they didn't want on their personnel and hr record with a high sickness action break because that will make them vulnerable to the act. so we started following it early, probably in 2008, but in 2010, it was about 26% of people were suffering from presenteeism. but, as the recession 19 eightjobs presenteeism. but, as the recession 19 eight jobs became presenteeism. but, as the recession 19 eightjobs became less secure anyway, and the psychological contract between employer and employee had been broken, and jobs we re employee had been broken, and jobs were no longerfor life, that number rose in 2016 to 76% and then rose even further because you have the

uncertainty of brexit. so from 2016 to 17 and went up to 86%. so it is happening a lot. people arejust to 17 and went up to 86%. so it is happening a lot. people are just not wanting to have high sickness rates on their personnel record because it could affect their future job security. what about also the possibility that a lot of people are working part—time or restricted hours and as a result, they are not getting to sickness benefits from their employer. absolutely excellent of course, so people because they're not getting sickness benefits, because they want to bring obtained a job because they want to bring obtained ajob and because they want to bring obtained a job and have a relatively tenuous contract. leaving is interesting, that shows, it is very high as well, 69% of people have this problem and thatis 69% of people have this problem and that is people going off on holidays or weekends, accessing their work and doing work. i guess that we had fewer people doing more work, they

may not be able to complete the overload during a normal workweek, so what they do is they take annual leave to do with or they go on holiday with their family and they go and work a few hours a day on the overload that they have an unpredictably during the monday to friday whether working. both of those and that really leads into the whole productivity issue. britain is seventh in the g7 on productivity per capita and 17 in the g20 countries. it is not good news and what we need is more people, better management, more people when they are sick, take opposition was not good to be any added value being in the workplace and britain issued to work, wejust a the workplace and britain issued to work, we just a and recuperate when you are sick and we don't need to working while you're out on holiday or on weekends we need you to rest and he can get back in active when you are back at work on a monday morning. sage advice. thank you for joining us. it's estimated that more

than one million people in the uk live with a condition known as proso—pagnosia, orface—blindness. those affected by it are unable to recognise the face of someone they may have met many times before. now researchers at bouremouth university are helping to diagnose and support people with the condition. 0ur reporter sophia seth has been speaking to one man who's been affected: 0ur lives are awash with a sea of faces. this estimated we me about 80,000 people in our lifetime. and we often forgive somebody for forgetting her name, but what about a phase? it can be really embarrassing. you fill that you just wa nt embarrassing. you fill that you just want the ground to swallow you up. you sense that when you fail to recognise someone, they have taken it as recognise someone, they have taken itasa recognise someone, they have taken it as a personal insult. 65-year-old chris albers from winchester has struggled with brussels by brazil,

also known as faceplate is all his life. he found it especially hard when he worked. i knew they should be ata when he worked. i knew they should be at a meeting in a recognise they we re be at a meeting in a recognise they were college but which ones i didn't know. i would use all kind of strategies to get information from them to check before i mention the name. here at bournemouth university, they have to diagnose people with face blindness as they did with chris a few years ago. that test ca n did with chris a few years ago. that test can determine whether an individual struggle text and detailed a person's face. what we would expect with somebody with this is to have a lot more of a heavy focus on the actual facial information, so we would expect them to look at the hair, the clothing, maybe the jewellery and things like that. the university says it is important to diagnose people as early as possible, particularly as some people can even struggle to recognise members of the own family.

it can be misdiagnosed as autistic spectrum conditions come on we also run the risk of things like stranger danger, we have children who might be approaching a cars that are not theirs because it looks like mums car advice to mums car, but actually it somebody completely different in the car. 0r approaching somebody who wears the same coach as bad, but you're not approaching that, you are approaching a stranger. the group set of four years ago to support those who have faced blonde says even simple measures such as wearing a badge can make a difference.” think often i find that people will forget the next time you see them and you walk straight past them and they'll have think you're being rude or aloof. whereas if you have a batch, the hope is that they will see that and remember to introduce themselves to us. chris says he is related to have a diagnosis.” themselves to us. chris says he is related to have a diagnosis. i still licensed to say, look, this of them

because i don't value. as this is because i don't value. as this is because i don't value. as this is because i have this condition. people often been quite interested to hear about it. time for a look at the weather. let's join tomasz schafernaker for the forecast. is getting a little bit better. absolutely. being gone, the weather is going to be improving over the next few days. not perfect straightaway, in fact, the next two to three days maybe a little on the cloudy side. it does look fairly cloudy side. it does look fairly cloudy tomorrow. not everywhere, there will be sun sign. bright whether i kind there. but better than what it was for some of us today. we had what difference was for some of us today. we had the weather from sweeping across the country and the rain and the scots are played coming night is going to be really chilly. expecting a froth of samaria and even in bigger towns and cities temperatures will be around two or three degrees. really surely not on the way. a little bit milder towards the west, 6 degrees
