5:50 am
these are being put on the northern border of austria. and they feel these will be a place where the immigrants stay. —— you cannot corbyn camps. had you to bridge between economic migrant who thinks they will be making a financially sensible decision, and people who tried to get away from a terrible persecution? wall or whatever. there is no right answer. we can be in humane and appease the people who are so humane and appease the people who are so scared of the fortress of europe being invaded, or we can be humane and find ourselves with millions of people. that is the week perhaps cannot look after. -- war or whatever. all after properly. let's go back to the financial times. they set up your places spectators was the debate about where they would be europe to make european base.

5:55 am
in fact, yesterday, hardly a cloud in the sky again across much of the country, as depicted by north wales, but there are some subtle differences as we go through the day today. there'll be a little more cloud around for many of us and there may even be a chance of a shower. why? well, the high pressure isjust weakening its grip a little and it's allowing this plume of showery rain to push up from the south—west. they'll be very hit and miss and not everywhere will see them, but there is a risk of a few of those, and at the same time, the north—easterly breeze will drag in more cloud across northern england and eastern england throughout the day. so here, that could just have an effect of the feel of the temperature, but let's take a look at these showers in a little more detail, circulating around that south—west area, but we mightjust see one or two just pushing up into southern england as well. so that could be pretty tricky if you're heading off to wimbledon. there is a small chance — only a very small chance — of catching a shower, but it's certainly worth bearing in mind. i suspect there'll be a little more cloud around and that, for some of you, may come as welcome news. so this is swi9 with cloudy skies overhead.
5:56 am
just an outside chance of a shower, perhaps this is over—reading it a little bit. you really will be unlucky if you do catch one, but it's worth bearing in mind, particularly in comparison to the weather that we've seen of late. but in terms of the feel of things, despite a little more cloud and the risk of a shower, temperatures are still slightly above the average for the time of year, with 21—2a degrees. now, look at this as we move out of wednesday into thursday, we have got a weather front showing its hand in the far north—west. now, this will be interesting — not much in the way of rain on it but it is going to introduce a wind direction from a north—westerly and behind it, something a little bit fresher. so certainly on thursday, more cloud for northern ireland and for much of scotland, and a noticeable difference here to the feel of the weather. further south and east, we've still got that warmth and we lose the risk of a few showers, so temperatures are going to respond again back up to 29 degrees, as opposed to 15 or 19 degrees in the far north—west. now that weather front will drift out of the way and then high pressure builds again
5:57 am
from the south—west so things are going to quieten down as we move towards the weekend, and if you don't believe me, let's have a look at the weekend story. friday into saturday shows the temperatures building and the sunshine set to return, highs of 29—30. take care. good morning — welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and louise minchin. 0ur headlines today: england finally win a penalty shoot out to reach the quarter—finals of the world cup. two people are in hospital and a major incident is declared in wiltshire after police say a couple were exposed to an unknown substance. in good health — we have new footage of the thai schoolboys trapped in a flooded cave system.
