sports star. hello there. we are ending the week on a pretty turbulent note. some strong winds on the way to scotland. severe gales here could cause some problems. and as well as the very strong winds on friday in scotland, we'll also have some heavy rain around, particularly across south—west england, over the next few hours, and that could bring some localised surface water flooding. the troublemaker is this developing area of low pressure. pressure continues to fall and the low pressure deepens, and that continues to strengthen the winds. now, the strongest winds will be going into the north of the uk, and you can see some of the heaviest rain will be trailing back across wales into south—west england. here, 40 millimetres of rain, and that could cause a few issues first thing friday morning. certainly, some big puddles on your morning commute across this part of the world. the winds will continue to strengthen as we go on through the next few hours. and there is a good chance if you're going out in the next couple of hours of seeing some pretty heavy rain around as well, but it won't be a cold start to the day. the winds will continue
1:55 am
to strengthen to thrugh morning across northern ireland and then into scotland. this is where the strongest winds are going to come through, probably the strongest winds around midday, the early afternoon, with gusts around 70 to 80 miles an hour. could even top that in one or two of the very, very most exposed locations. there'll be heavy rain as well. further south, our band of rain will continue to push eastwards across england, clearing friday. then we'll see some sunshine following and a few showers for western parts of england and wales to end the day. showers too for northern ireland. temperatures will be falling through the afternoon. seven to 10 degrees as that cooler air continues to work its way in. now, as far as the weekend goes, it will stay pretty wind and blustery, and we're looking at further showers around, particularly on saturday. it turns cooler on sunday, but with a bit more in the way of sunshine. here's a chart then to take us through friday night. those strong wind still buffeting scotland, it will take a while for those winds to ease down, and then we'll start to see the next system approaching from the west. so, this is the forecast for saturday. most of us will see at least some bright and sunny spells,
1:56 am
but it's going to be a blustery kind of day, with showers moving in from the west and pushing eastwards as the day goes by. so it's one of those days where most of us will see at least a spell of rain. temperatures between nine and 13 celsius, so we're just about on the mild side of things. however, for the second half of the weekend, as winds swith round more to a north—westerly, still with som showers knocking around, it's going to start to feel a little bit cooler than that. those showers are really quite likely to work into parts of north wales and parts of north—west england, particularly around cheshire, greater manchester and merseyside. and the temperature's going down. seven to 11 degrees your high on sunday. welcome to bbc news — broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. my name is lebo diseko. our top stories: asian stock markets recover, despite the arrest of a huawei executive and fears of a renewed us—china trade war. canada's prime minister says it's not political. there was no engagement or involvement in the political level in this decision because we respect the
