president trump, meanwhile, rekindles a friendship in hanoi with north korea's kimjong—un for a second summit. we'll also bring you the latest from kashmir with pakistan's prime minister calling for talks after his forces shot down another day, another brexit vote. an indian fighter plane. today's were on a series of amendments designed to give mps their say on the next steps for brexit. the most important thing to tell you — is this tweet... "labour loses its amendment — michael cohen, once donald trump's so, in theory, the party should shift its position now to backing most trusted aide, has painted another referendum." the american president as a liar jami corbyn the labour leader has and cheat who broke the law. released a statement saying that for the past five hours or so, labour will back a public vote in he's been giving damning testimony in congress in his first order to prevent what he calls a damaging tory brexit or an exit and only public appearance. his opening remarks set the tone. without a deal, he goes on however to say that he will also continue to i am ashamed of my weakness push for other available options. and misplaced loyalty, of the things i did for mr trump here's iain watson in westminster. iain explain what the labour in an effort to protect and promote him. amendment was about? yes, well labour tonight is i am ashamed that i chose to take part in concealing mr trump's attempting to try to get the

illicit acts rather than listening government to back a permanent membership of a customs union with to my own conscience. the european union, something which i am ashamed because i labour say is a phenomenal majority know what mr trump is. in the house of commons, of christ he is a racist. people across different party line he is a con man. sometimes don't get behind a single initiative. so it went down to a and he is a cheat. fairly healthy defeats. so that explosive words from a man should mean that labour policy is to who once said he'd take a bullet for the president. campaignfor should mean that labour policy is to campaign for another referendum to well, president trump fired campaign for another referendum to off this tweet before campaignfora campaign for another referendum to campaign for a vote on whatever deal the hearing got under way... at theresa may brings back from brussels in due course. but the problem is there is a great amount of dissent occurring within labour‘s ranks, some mps are having traced over this, others like jeremy ranks, some mps are having traced over this, others likejeremy corbyn who has been reluctant as a party mr cohen was mr trump's fixer and lawyer and was convicted labour to commit to this in the in august for tax evasion, first place, some of his mps, campaign finance violations perhaps anywhere between 25—50 who and lying to congress. are very, very sceptical about he's going to jail in may, partly because of a payment he made having another referendum and being to conceal an alleged affair seen having another referendum and being seen not to be respecting the between donald trump and porn decision of some of their voters in star stormy daniels. areas that leave during the referendum campaign, so this isn't as simple as it looks, even if they

mr trump denies the affair do move onto the sand campaign for and that he told cohen to give it strongly, it's not guaranteed to ms daniels hush money. go through parliament. jeremy corbyn is saying tonight, they will continue to pursue other options as today, cohen produced this, well, and see if in due course, they a cheque of $35,000 with mr trump's signature, can drag theresa may in their dated august 2017. direction on this question of a cohen says it was one of 11 cheques customs union, potentially, or if he received from the president she fails to get a final deal as reimbursement for hush money he paid. through parliament, once again they cohen called it a criminal scheme can put down what is called a motion to violate campaign finance laws. of no—confidence, effectively trying to trigger a general election. the last time they tried that, failed. stay with us at the well. two other amendments were accepted today. mrtrump isa mr trump is a con man. he asked me the first was by conservative mp to pay off an adult film star with alberto costa, which seeks to protect the rights of uk citizens whom he had an affair and to lie living in the eu, and vice versa. about it to his wife, which i did. the second was by yvette cooper, and lying to the first lady is one a labour mp, heramendment states that if mps vote to delay brexit, of my biggest regrets. because she the government should seek an extension from the eu and bring isa kind, of my biggest regrets. because she is a kind, good person and i respect forward legislation to change, in law, the date of her greatly. and she did not deserve the uk's departure. and today angela merkel suggested that. and i am giving the committee that the eu would be prepared to accept that. today a copy of the $130,000 wire

tra nsfer today a copy of the $130,000 wire transfer from me to today a copy of the $130,000 wire translation: we are indeed transferfrom me to miss today a copy of the $130,000 wire transfer from me to miss clifford's approaching great britain's attorney during the closing days of departure from the european union at the end of next month. the presidential campaign that we fully agree, and i discussed wasn't demanded by ms. clifford to this with theresa may maintain her silence about her just a few days ago, affair with mr maintain her silence about her that the agreement is valid. affairwith mrtrump. let's bring in gary if britain needs more 0'donoghue in washington. how damning is what we heard time, we won't refuse. from michael cohen but we ask for an orderly on the hush money payments? solution, and an orderly departure of the british a lot of the detail we have heard of the european union. before just because of the court in some ways yesterday cases and what came out when he was was more important convicted. bear mike, he is a because theresa may accepted mps would be able to vote convicted. bear mike, he is a convicted liar and is going to on delaying brexit? prison pretty shortly. but seeing him as it were in the flesh saying it out loud does have a certain impact. and we have learned one or young absolutely right, the leader of the liberal democrats, speaking two things extra, particularly this to him a little bit. he told me tonight was a damn squid, idea that he says that donald trump definitely knew about the planned because effectively everything has been cut off now until potentially around the middle of march. the leak of those hacked e—mails from first thing that's going to happen the democratic party ahead of time, is that theresa may will bring back what she hopes will be a revised just in the 2016 general election. deal with perhaps some changes to that is a very important statement for him to make. he has asserted it, the northern irish backstop, the

means of trying to avoid a hard there is no proof of such at this bordered ireland, by the 12 of next stage other than his word. we also learn from him that he says month. if she doesn't get that deal through, then on the 13th, and peace investigators are looking and other will then vote on whether to leave illegal acts committed by the the european union without a deal, it is highly unlikely they will do president that we do not know about at this stage and that he cannot that, so the following day on the talk about because they are subject 14th, that, so the following day on the 1ath, they will have a vote on whether to ask for more time, to an investigation. that will get a effectively to ask the eu to delay lot of people thinking about what else might be out there. her departure, extend article 50 as stay with us, gary. it's called. so that is the process mr cohen has also claimed that mr trump knew in advance from here on in. speaking to about a leak of e—mails that government ministers tonight, they would damage hillary clinton are confident that some of the in the 2016 elections, opposition in their own ranks to a a claim mr trump has denied. potential deal may now be weakening, in parts because some people don't wa nt to in parts because some people don't the e—mails caused a rift among want to see a delay of any kind. partly because they think perhaps liberals by showing favouritism they won't get quite as much as they in the democratic party are asking forfrom towards mrs clinton over her rival they won't get quite as much as they are asking for from brussels, and will settle for a little bit less to for the presidential nomination bernie sanders. get brexit done. what will go on today, cohen said roger stone, behind the scenes leading up to a long—time associate of mr trump march the 12th? who is currently facing criminal charges, told the president about the stolen e—mails before there will be a lot going on behind the scenes. first of all, they are they were disclosed by wikileaks. going to get the attorney general here's cohen on that. who is the most senior legal officer

in the country effectively to pass hisjudgement on in the country effectively to pass his judgement on anything, which brussels might do to suggest that injuly of 2016, days before the irish backstop could be temporary, for example whenever the democratic convention, brussels comes up with, he will i was in mr trump's office suggest then it whether it is a when his secretary announced that legally enforceable or not. if he roger stone was on the phone. gets at the thumbs up, it is been hoped that northern ireland dup who mrtrump put mrstone on the speakerphone. are keen to get changes here, will mr stone told mr trump that he had just gotten off the phone get on board, and release some withjulian assange and that mr assange told mr stone that, support on the conservative benches, theresa may's on benches for a final within a couple of days, there would be a massive dump of e—mails that would damage deal. parallel to this, she will be putting forward legislation for hillary clinton's campaign. employment rates for example, she will be talking about getting money mr trump responded by toa stating to the effect of, will be talking about getting money to a few left behind, to attach "wouldn't that be great?" labour support away from the official labour party position, and get some opposition mps tobacco deal gary, how credible is this allegation and how problematic as well. so she will be trying could this be for the president, desperately to get that deal through before she has to face a vote on is there any legal worry? extension of article 50, a delay of yes, we do in the sense that do not braxton. because that is something that she personally doesn't want to forget that robert mueller has do, and was forced in that direction by members of her own cabinet, already said it was a russian hacker

senior embers of her own government. cut into military intelligence that passed on the means by which ian watson, thank you so much in central london. wikileaks to get hold of these e—mails. and it is supposed to have day one of the second summit between donald trump happened at about the 14th ofjuly. and kimjong—un has wrapped up. and we are looking at sort of four president trump tweeted tweet "great meetings and dinner tonight or five days later than that, so you in vietnam with kimjong un of north korea. see a connection if you like between very good dialogue. resuming tomorrow!" it's taking place over two days this russian hacker, roger stone and in vietnam's capital, hanoi, in the metropole hotel there. then this alleged phone call that michael cohen says took place between donald trump and roger stone let's take you through some of the key moments ssource flagging of the possibility that these e—mails were about to happen. you start to see a bit of a if we're lucky we will be able to potential narrative. of course this is michael cohen punishment word see it. let's take either some of about this phone call but you can the key moments the day. see how that would generate a lot of this is when the two leaders shook hands. interest here and draw some sort of not quite as historic this time, remember they held their first summit in singapore lastjune, connections between different parts but a significant of the store that we didn't moment nonetheless. necessarily see before. they then sat down together. here's what donald trump said gary, do stay with us. cohen also apologised to kimjong un in front for previously lying to congress of the assembled press. about the trump organisation's plans i think that your country has to build a skyscraper in moscow. tremendous economic potential, unbelievable, unlimited. importantly, he said that he had no direct evidence that the president or his campaign colluded with russia i think that you will during the 2016 presidential have a tremendous future in your country, a great leader.

election, only that he i look forward to watching it had his suspicions. happen, and helping it to happen, and we will help it to happen. he did, though, accuse mr trump of possible tax fraud, president trump there calling producing these financial documents kimjong un a ‘great leader'. which he says shows of course, north korea has he inflated his assets, and then deflated them an appalling human rights record. to reduce taxes. the un says its people that's important because it's live under "systematic, an allegation that could spur the democats to renew their demands widespread and gross for the president's tax returns. human rights violations. " kimjong un carried out a brutal cohen also had some other strong words for his former boss. purge after taking charge of the country in 2011. here he is calling around 140 senior military mr trump a racist. officers and government officials were executed, he once asked me if i could name according to south korea. a country run by a black person that and the economy is tightly wasn't a (expletive). controlled by the government, with widespread shortages this was when barack 0bama of basic necessities. this satellite image was president of the united states. shows it doesn't have and while we were once driving a reliable energy grid — through a struggling neighbourhood in chicago, that dark section in the middle he commented that only black people could live that way. is north korea the un says 200,000 north korean children and he told me that black people would never vote for him are malnourished, and because they were too stupid. many face starvation. let's go back to president trump's before the hearing, the white house dismissed cohen remarks to the press though, as a "disgraced felon". because he also addressed criticism

that the first summit had failed to make progress republicans wrote this web page on denuclearisation. editorial in usa today, calling the hearing a partisan circus designed to great to be with you, we had a very destroy president trump. successful first summit. the fact that cohen has already been convicted for lying under oath i felt it was very successful, came up in the hearing. and to some people would here's republican like to see it go quicker. i'm satisfied, you are satisfied, jim jordan on that. we want to be happy with what we're doing, but i feel like the first i see iseea summit was a great success, i see a guy who worked for ten years and i think this one, sit here trashing the guy he worked hopefully will be equal or greater for for ten years. did not get a job then the first, and we made a lot of progress, and i think the biggest in the white house and you are progress was our relationship behaving just like everyone else who has gotten fired or didn't get the is really a good one. job they wanted, like andrew mckay, like james comey, same kind of in that first summit last year president trump and kim jong un selfish motivation after he did not get the thing you want. that is what signed the singapore declaration that was criticised i see here today and i think that is for lacking substance. what the american people see here. it said both sides were committed mrjordan, alli to denuclearisation but the leaders what the american people see here. mrjordan, all i wanted was what i never agreed how it will happen. got to be personal attorney to the in fact, in this report senior us president. a very tough time from intelligence officials say some republicans. this new york magazine article says cohen's testimony could be north korea will never give up nuclear weapons because they say a game—changer and that it'll be they're critical to regime survival. impossible for mr trump to avoid impeachment proceedings.

let's bring gary back in. kathleen stephens is the former us gary, what are the democrats ambassador to south korea. i asked her what president trump saying about all this? is trying to achieve welcome of the impeachment question isa thank you very much forjoining us, welcome of the impeachment question is a much wider problem. bear in how are you revealing the first day mind that that is a sort of of the events in hanalei? political question the democrats will have to decide whether they think is worth it or whether they thank you for having me on, i think think is worth it or whether they think the best thing they can do is right now it is too early to tell to build up the case against the what is going on in hanoi, because they have a whole set of talks to go president for the voters to choose. when you hearing from democrats is through. but so far, it seems that they were getting michael cohen to the two leaders has started off on a rehash and to restate, to go over the chronology and relate to sort of good footing, trying to assure themselves that their countries in pile on the criticisms of donald themselves that their countries in the world that this diplomacy is trump, some very strong words there you heard about racism from a very going towards something. but strong language there. other question is toward wet? accusations about the payments to denuclearization as promised by both the pawn stars in violation of ken and trump in the singapore campaign finance rules. michael summit has different meanings for cohenis campaign finance rules. michael cohen is going to prison as part of the two countries. mr can during his that process but also him say that donald trump is a cheat, he's a liar january one, 2000 new teen new year's address to his own public in

north korea made it very clear that and he spent ten years following him for the north koreans, d nuclear is and he spent ten years following him and making mistakes and defending asian also means that all us nuclear him and he said he told republicans very clearly that do not do the threats in the region that could same. we are republicans to measure affect north koreans must be time going very strongly at his eliminated now that would be absolutely not real is a ethical credibility. the fact that he is a convicted liar. but how are they do obviously, because the us will not go there. so we have to wait and see on discrediting the allegations he was making in the evidence he was what they will work out. what do you producing? look, they have a point, make of that us intelligence report don't they? he lied to congress. he saying that north korea will never give up its nuclear weapons, because is been convicted, he is going to they are critical to its regime jail. so, yes, he is a witness with a huge credibility problem. let survival? perfectly within their rights to point that out. what they have not well, the fact that the intelligence report has been a dunk compiled by do today is defend the president. they have gone after michael cohen, they have called him all the names numerous intelligence agencies, and that we have had very high ranking under the they have called him all the names underthe sun, they have called him all the names under the sun, they have kicked them officials testify before congress on around, the committee room. what they have not done is come out and this says a lot. i personally think said you are right about the that the north koreans will not president. the president is an upright, upstanding chap who would not do any of this kind of thing. denuclearization at least on the

they have not done that. they have timetable that americans initially had in mind in the last year or two. focused on michael cohen and michael cohen alone. now it is not over yet. if there is to be denuclearization it, i think it will be years in the they are resuming any time now, what do we have in store? will, he has making. and that the us and other artie had a day of this yesterday countries would have to be willing which was behind closed doors. this to give something important, some is the one that is in front of the cameras present me as another sta nce to give something important, some stance as to the north koreans in session tomorrow, again behind closed doors. i think these order to get final denuclearization. committees are huge bear in mind. i think we are very far away from there are probably about 30 members that. what do you make finally of the donald trump approach to roughly from both sides and they all diplomacy with north korea, talking get there five minutes. we will hear about great meeting, great dinner, more of the same and i think he was looking forward to tomorrow, is it in the same pattern repeated, democrats giving him a chance really working in ways that previous administrations hasn't? to rattle off the failings of the president as he sees it is doing i think administrations hasn't? ithink mrtrump theirvery president as he sees it is doing their very best to say this is a administrations hasn't? i think mr trump said get credit for waste of time and we should be at least trying. for mr can, it is talking about other stuff and this man has artie been proved to be a very important to be seen as a liar why are we getting him this platform? gary, thank you very much. international leader, and trump is live from washington. let's give you giving him that kind of credibility, a glimpse into the room with the proceedings get under way. still and media exposure. to think that

gathering raffles that we will take you back there for the forthcoming it's too soon it, is it premature? highlights of that session. pakistan says it has carried out air well, i don't know if he should be strikes on indian territory and shot given it, but the question is, is down two indian planes. this the only way at this point to these pictures, obtained by the bbc urdu team on the ground, shows one downed indian plane. get north korea to take a deep nuclear is asian, human rights india has also confirmed that it has issues, and other important thing lost one fighterjet and demanded seriously, it may be the case. i the immediate and safe return of its pilot. think mrtrump though, seriously, it may be the case. i think mr trump though, he needs to clarify what success would mean for this is a picture believed to be him, versus the united states of the pilot being held government, and for east asian by the pakistani army. as secunder kermani points out, this peace. mr trump has been clear that feels like a very big escalation he is seeking a nobel prize, and so between the two countries. i sincerely hope that he will be and here's pakistan's prime looking for us national interests, minister imran khan. and a piece in east asia region first and foremost. catherine moon, translation: history tells us that there are miscalculations in wars. we will leave it there. joining me my question to india for massachusetts, thank you very is with the kind of weapons much. stay with us on outside sites, that we both have, can still to come a platform in cairo we afford a miscalculation? main railway station it becomes an here's the context — inferno. after a train crashes into the buffers. india and pakistan, both nuclear

armed states as alluded to by mr khan, claim all of kashmir. but they control only parts of it, shown here in the light red and dark orange. why are so many teenagers giving up on finding at school? they have the escalations in tensions began two weeks ago when a suicide attack killed a0 indian soldiers dropped by him as have to an 18 year in the indian—controlled area. yesterday, india said it had carried low, bbc investigation suggest that out air attacks targeting a militant in some areas languages or camp belonging to jaish—e—mohammed in balakot, seen equivalencies have fallen between 30 here near islamabad. and 50% since 2013, more than one in these aerial attacks are happening three secondary schools say across the "line of control" that they have cut at least one language divides indian and pakistani territory and they're the first because for 16—year—olds in the last there since a war in 1971. five years because it seen as too difficult. the biggest loss of india's prime minister hasn't responded to today's events. language learning is in the poorest here's the bbc‘s communities. sangita mysta from delhi. all these sounds disappearing from our schools. so, the indian prime minister is a very interesting character. he tends to be very careful about when and how he makes the decline in languages statements and very rarely is now so sharp that will you get him holding a big in some parts of the uk, presser on an issue like this. german and french are any of the statements beginning to disappear. that we have seen emerging from the prime minister have usually

been made as part of an election rally speech. these six formers in st. helens could be in the last generation to learn some languages. i love languages, what i can tell you is that they are my passion definitely. india's foreign minister, there's like so many things who is currently in china, made a statement very early this i haven't discovered about france morning, and in it, she basically and europe in particular, said the indian authorities were not because it's so different from britain that i now know about. looking to escalate tensions more than 100 secondary in the region, but it would always schools send students here. act strongly to crack down on militant activity or countries less than half a dozen of them now teach german. that were backing militant activity that might lead to attacks on india. languages are being dropped from the curriculum in secondary school, we have seen we still don't know exactly the disappearance of german what happened today. being taught here, just that's because there's been so much because secondary schools have disinformation flying around, stopped offering it. some from official sources. i think a lot of schools have to focus on other things, and that there is a concern that languages are deemed as very, pakistan's information ministry tweeted what it said was footage very challenging academic subjects. of one of the downed indian jets with the caption... across the world, many learn english, but businesses say we also need languages to look outwards but there's suggestions the image might be from toward the world, and to connect. an unrelated helicopter crash. branwen jeffreys, bbc news.

meanwhile, the indian foreign ministry have said they shot down a pakistani plane today as well, but pakistan denies any of itsjets have been hit. a lot remains unclear. here's sangita again on this. a really grey and murky picture at this end. this is 0utside source live i do not think you should from the bbc newsroom. be too alarmed by this 0ur lead story is? claim and counterclaim. donald trump's former it is very difficult to verify lawyer michael cohen has given hours of testimony exactly what each side to a committee in congress. is saying, and quite clearly, he said the president it is in both parties' knew about emails hacked from the democrats in 2016, interests to sound as though they have the upper hand before they were in this situation. released by wikileaks. rajini vaidyanathan is in delhi. just put into context how serious this is and what's at stake. we can take it straight back to that and if you have heard already, this hearing on capitol hill, it's going is hugely serious because this is an on now. escalation of tensions between india in october 2018 the new york times and pakistan, two nuclear powers. revealed that president tran and so right now tonight everyone is participated in dubious tax schemes during the 19905 including watching and awaiting here in india participated in dubiou5 tax 5cheme5 during the 19905 including instances of outright fraud, that greatly to see what sort of action the increased the fortune he received from his parents. if further stated indian promised her modi may or may not take. if you've already heard in

from his parents. if further stated from mrtrump, that clip, we have not heard from from his parents. if further stated from mr trump, quote, from his parents. if further stated from mrtrump, quote, he from his parents. if further stated from mr trump, quote, he also helped formulate a strategy to undervalue him today for that b made no comment his parents real himself personally. with tonight, we formulate a strategy to undervalue his pa re nts real estate formulate a strategy to undervalue did have a strongly worded statement his parents real estate holdings by hundreds of millions of dollars on from the indian ministry of external tax returns, 5harply reducing his tax returns, 5harply reducing his tax bill, when those properties are affairs, which the indian foreign transferred to him and his siblings. ministry. they said that earlier today, they summoned pakistan's mr cohen, do you know whether that specific report is accurate? acting high commissioner to their i don't, i wasn't there in the offices in delhi where they lodged a 19905. who would know the answer to those strong protest and what they que5tion5? describe as the unprovoked act of who would know the answer to those questions? allen weisel berg. would it help for the committee to aggression by pakistan. they have obtain federal and state tax returns also demanded that the indian pilot from the president and his company to address that discrepancy?” wing commander who is being held in believe so. thank you very much i yield the rest pakistan is released immediately and of my time to the chair. thank you safely. but most strikingly, perhaps in the statement tonight, was he said india reserves the right to mrchairman, one ta ke said india reserves the right to take firm and decisive action to of my time to the chair. thank you mr chairman, one more time, mr chairman ijust mr chairman, one more time, mr chairman i just want mr chairman, one more time, mr chairman ijust want to thank you protect its national security, for your leadership and the way in sovereignty and territorial which you compose yourself, and i integrity against any act of know there are some that would have aggression. so all ice tonight on you believe that the more you say something the more true it is, but what, if anything, aggression. so all ice tonight on in fact this committee thinks your what, ifanything, modi might do leadership and our democratic

fresher conditions. so here is just start to break up before it saturday, here is the weather system ma kes la ndfall close to the philippines. swinging in off the atlantic, behind that's called frontier i5 swinging in off the atlantic, behind by then, just a band of very heavy that's called frontier is a rash of colder air from rainfall, so we're not too that's called frontier is a rash of colder airfrom the north that's called frontier is a rash of concerned about that. colder air from the north atlantic. now, initially it looks like the at the same time, we have heavy rain rain is going to sleep into we5tern moving its way out of japan, airas the rain is going to sleep into we5tern air as the winds will cost to the korean peninsula looks fine. quite mild across northern china, possibly 50—60 mph. then that rain temperatures of 1a degrees the high. will reach further ea5t possibly 50—60 mph. then that rain will reach further east as well now to south asia, where we have during the day, but still relatively usual showers across the south mild on the thermometer, but it will and into sri lanka, but this massive feel a lot cooler because of the cloud in the northeast is causing cloud, the wind, and the rain. so some issues and there's further sharp showers to come that was saturday, sunday another across northeastern states of india stretching up into bangladesh weather system comes from a and across the himalayas. different direction, it looks like the southern half of the uk will have most of the rain, so really unpleasant conditions early in the further spells of heavy rain slowly easing away could lead to some day. that rain will push into wells, localised flash flooding as well. the midlands eventually in the talking of flash flooding, 5outhea5t, ju5t the midlands eventually in the 5outhea5t, just how far north ed we have seen some intense rainfall goetz, i5 5outhea5t, just how far north ed goetz, is still a little unsure. it in crete this february, look5 goetz, is still a little unsure. it looks as though it scotland it and on monday, they had yet more wet should stay dry on sunday, so it is weather, so there has been over the south that gets the wet and windy weather on sunday. now monday, a metre of rain so far this month you can see that much fresher air, and it looks likely that we are heading for the wettest this is the called friend you can february on record. see here pushing away the mild air, the colder air tucking in. so monday, much fresher day, there's even a chance of a bit of snow

this was the story on monday, you can see the intense vibrant acro55 even a chance of a bit of snow across the pen nines, may the hills colours denoting the intensity of that rainfall which brought some of wales a5 flash flooding before it eased away across the pen nines, may the hills of wales as well, i northwesterly and unfortunately some fatalities with a as well. wind, so not 8 degrees in belfast, but there is some welcome news for the weather story across that southeastern mediterranean. conditions are calming down. only 10 degrees in london, which is high—pressure has been in control closer to the average for the time generally across much of the year. and again the indication is that next week, no of western and central europe, change expected, the jet stream will but there are some signs of things keep on sending low pressures in our changing with the weather front bringing some rain into the uk direction, and at times wind and and into northern france rain. bye—bye. and a cooler feel to things as well towards the end of thursday. we're looking at temperatures maximum in london of 13 degrees. quite ironic really because in the uk, we have actually seen a record—breaking week in terms of the feel of the weather because on tuesday, we saw the warmest february temperature ever recorded with 21.2 celsius in kew gardens. things are set to change across the uk i'm afraid towards the end of this week and into the weekend, it will turn a much cooler and yes there will be summer rain around as we move into the weekend. more details on all of that
