going above and beyond for patients. this ultimately led to pay protests. noise in the streets, flags flying, and now the politicians have stepped in. the new french prime minister, jean castex, has signed a deal to give healthcare workers a salary boost. the total package, 8 billion euros. the average worker will see a pay boost of 183 euros each month. that works out to nearly 2,200 euros per year. translation: this historic effort is first of all a considerable recognition towards those who have been on the front lines of the fight against this unprecedented and long—lasting epidemic. the agreement came just hours before bastille day, a national public holiday which is known for military parades and fireworks. hundreds of doctors,

nurses and carers are invited this year as guests of honour. the event won't have the traditional crowds like previous years, but healthcare workers in attendance will probably appreciate how the country is standing to attention and recognising their efforts. a bit of appreciation, a bit more pay can go a long way. the world health organization has warned the pandemic will get worse and worse if countries do not follow the basics required to suppress the virus. the director—general said many countries were headed in the wrong direction and he called for an end to what he called ‘mixed messaging'. 0ur science editor david shukman reports. a grim assessment from the world health organization as new records keep being set.

florida has had its worst day, 15,000 new cases, triggering yet another appeal to keep a safe distance, wash hands, stay at home. if the basics aren't followed, there is only one way this pandemic is going to go. it's going to get worse and worse and worse. the virus has spread around the world, but some regions are doing better than others. this line shows daily new cases in europe reaching a peak of 30,000 a day back in april and since then going through a steady decline. by contrast, north america began with a similar pattern, but has since seen a very rapid rise to nearly 60,000 new cases every day. basically double what europe saw when things were at their worst. latin america and the caribbean began behind the curve of the others, but have since gone through a very rapid rise, up to more than 60,000 cases a day, and bear in mind all these numbers will be an underestimate of what is really going on. in some countries like bolivia,

too many are dying for the government to cope. and there's a problem with the credibility of what's being said about the virus. this taxi driver says the truth is that people are just now realising that this disease really exists, because a lot didn't believe it. the who says world leaders must spell out the risks. mixed messages from leaders are undermining the most critical ingredient of any response, trust. these are nervous times. hospitals in central asia are overwhelmed, as in latin america. the best strategies to get out of this are very well known, but everyone needs to follow them. david shukman, bbc news. police have confirmed that the body found in a lake in southern california is the missing glee actress naya rivera.

of australia have released over 200 letters exchanged between australia's governor—general, sirjohn kerr, and buckingham palace in the mid ‘70s. these letters are crucial to understand one of the most controversial episodes in australian politics: the sacking of former prime minister gough whitlam in 1975. whitlam was removed by the british governor—general, who is the queen's representative in the country, and replaced by the opposition. but the letters reveal the queen was not given advance notice. john kerr says he "was of the opinion it was better for her majesty not to know in advance" about the dismissal, but adds that "of course" his duty was to tell her immediately. in a reply from the palace, the queen's private secretary said that in not informing the queen of what he intended to, the governor—general acted

"not only with constitutional propriety, but also with admirable consideration for her majesty's position." these letters have just been released a few hours go. let's go live to sydney and speak to our correspondent shaimaa khalil. this is shedding more light on what was extremely controversial at the time in the mid—19 70s. controversial at the time in the mid-19 70s. that is right. also the fact that it was shrouded in so much secrecy, these letters, that it took yea rs these letters, that it took years for a historian to chase after them for them to be released to the public, and it took a higher court's decision for them to be accessible, and yes, like you said, a few hours ago, we now have an insight into almost daily and detailed accou nts into almost daily and detailed a ccou nts of into almost daily and detailed accounts of that very high time of tension in australian politics with the governor general, sirjohn kerr,

revealing to the queen details of what was going on at a time, 1975, when gough whitlam's element had failed to pass a budget through parliament, really, really simmering tensions between the government and the opposition, but also as the letters revealed between the letters revealed between the governor general and the prime minister himself, and thatis prime minister himself, and that is why he did not inform the palace. this answers the big question of buckingham palace's involvement in that dismissal, what the queen knew stop now we know that she did not know of the decision before it happened, and sirjohn had made the final decision on his own. in these letters, he says that he hasn't informed the queen, he hadn't actually warned the prime minister that he was going to sack him because he was worried that the prime minister himself was calling for his removal. so while there isn't really a big bombshell of palace involvement in the dismissal, i think it is

a really, really intriguing insight if you will into those correspondence at the time of high tension. but also, if you will, a tug of war at the top of australian politics at the time. this had shocked notjust the australian political scene, but people in general at the time, because it was at the heart of the country's constitutional independence. and this is a big debate in australia, the strong arguments on both sides when it comes to the constitution. 0logies and the constitution. 0logies and the queen and her role. —— politics. absolutely. and it is absolutely a reminder of how tenseit absolutely a reminder of how tense it was at the time, when the decision was made, even though the decision was made, even thouthohn the decision was made, even though john kerr was within the decision was made, even thouthohn kerr was within his powers and it was interesting because, again, within the details of the letter as you see, not informing them he was going to do this, but really making it clear that he was thinking about making that decision and examining his power. so he was within his powers to do so, but it really

shocked people that he actually made that decision to dismiss a prime minister and his government. at the time, there we re government. at the time, there were stripes, violent demonstration than there were calls for australia to become a republic. it would be very interesting with an examination of these elevations in the letters whether sentiment will be renewed or not. we shall watch this space. nice to see you. thank you again as ever. let's now talk to you about the washington redskins. one of the most prominent teams in american football, have confirmed they will change their name and logo. native americans have long condemned both as racist, but finally, it seems financial pressure from the team's sponsors has forced a change. the bbc‘s tim allman reports. it is one of the most famous names in american sport, but it is also one of the most controversial. for more than 80 years, they have been known as the washington redskins — but not anymore. under increasing pressure, the club had previously

announced a review of its name, and it seems that review was only going to have one result. in a statement, the club said: they went on to say: "we are working closely to develop a new name and design approach that will inspire our sponsors, fans and community for the next 100 years." it's racist. you would never see something like that for african—americans or african people. you would never see anything like that forjewish people. and their name — you know, as a racial epithet — you would never have that in this day and age. complaints over the name are nothing new. chanting but the recent black lives matter protest had only raised the stakes. the redskins' commercial partners had expressed their discomfort too. as for the fans — they're a little uncertain

about what's to come. for me, a change is really going to dramatically affect me, because i don't know what the name is going to be, but it's not going to be the same feeling, especially since i've been born and raised in washington, dc. there's no word as to what the new name and logo will be, or when they'll be introduced. this is the end of an era, and some will say not a moment too soon. tim allman, bbc news. this month, egypt reopened many of the ancient sites that were closed because of the coronavirus pandemic, including the great pyramid at giza. but without international visitors, tourism income has been devastated. and that has a significant impact in a country whose economy relies on showing off its ancient treasures. 0ur middle east correspondent yolande knell reports. an historic cleanup at the pyramids. for a millennia, an historic cleanup at the pyramids. fora millennia, this world wonder has wowed visitors. the coronavirus killed off each's tourism, and with it, the livelihoods of

millions. like ashraf, unable to feed his family. he kept his favourite camel had to sell to others. translation: it has been tough on everyone, i have no money. a camel's food alone costs $6 a day. the ancient attractions are now reopening, but they are empty except for the occasional local visitor. it is a blow after tourism had just recovered from years of turmoil. this guide loves taking tourists around her country. since the pandemic, she has lost 1000 holiday bookings. for now, she is only sightseeing with her husband. we have to cancel flights, hotels, and that includes eve ryo ne hotels, and that includes everyone who works in the hotel. the company itself, people behind the desk, we all lost ourjobs. drivers, cars, restau ra nts, lost ourjobs. drivers, cars, restaurants, all of these

things are down. the tourism minister is on a mission to bring back business and revive the economy. highlighting new hygiene and safety rules and showing how foreigners can now fly into some beach resorts. we lost around $1 billion per month and we are estimating that we still lose a lot of money during the next coming weeks and months. restoring tourism will take time. but egypt's accounting on the enduring allure of its rich pharaonic past. and for a star attraction, what could be more appropriate these days than a golden face mask? yolande knell, bbc news. talking of face mask, as we mentioned, it will be compulsory in shops in england from july 24. so many of you have been in touch on twitter about this from all over the world. we have heard from you in turkey, new york, most

places. it has been compulsory in south africa from quite a while. 0ften in south africa from quite a while. often people wear it in the wrong way. also, igor in moscow says, i don't wear a mask everywhere in places where people are condensed. hello. fairly quiet on the weather front out there right now, a lot of cloud across the country. a fairly mild morning too. how about tuesday? i think there'll be a few sunny spells around. but on the whole, a pretty cloudy day ahead. and for some of us, quite a wet one, particularly in northern ireland. you can see all the cloud on the satellite picture. it's streaming our way. and i think the next two, three days will be quite overcast. the good weather, the high pressure is not far away. we've got to wait for that high pressure to build across the uk, but it's not going to happen immediately. so, this is what it looks like early hours of tuesday morning. i said it's mild, around 15 or 16 degrees across the south and south—east.

in aberdeen, around 12 degrees. so, a lot of cloud moving across the uk during the morning and afternoon. but notice — in northern ireland, grey and quite wet. in fact, some of this rain will hang around through most of the day, so in belfast, you'll need your brollies. but the rest of the country, i think let's call it cloudy at times with a few sunny spells. 0n the whole, not a bad day, i guess — particularly i think on the south coast, where the brighter spells could be a little more lengthy. so this is what it looks like on wednesday. i think wednesday could be actually quite an overcast day across the uk with bits and pieces of rain or drizzle. so, grey for some of us, disappointing temperatures. whether you're in the north or the south, it'll be more or less the same, around 17 to 19 degrees. i mentioned that high pressure and the good weather. it is very slowly — at a glacial pace — building in towards the uk. and on thursday, low pressure to the north, high pressure to the south. so, where we're closer to the low pressure, you've got cloud and increasing

breeze and some spots of rain there in the western isles, but in the south, that high is trying to build in, push the clouds away. so i think on thursday, it'll start to turn a little bit brighter. and you can see those temperatures are recovering, up to around 20 degrees there in belfast and also the north—east of england. and then friday and the weekend, watch these warm colours, these oranges, spread. that's the warmer air coming in from the south, so the thinking is that friday and the weekend, it will brighten up and it will turn quite a bit warmer. in fact, if you look at the south of the country, those temperatures by friday and saturday could be hitting the mid—20s. bye— bye.

this is bbc news with the latest business headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. judgement day for huawei, with the uk government set to announce what role the chinese telecoms giant will play in the country's 5g network. and financial markets turn volatile, as california announces an immediate shutdown of bars and restaurants due to rising infections. a very warm welcome. if you

have just joined a very warm welcome. if you havejustjoined us, good to havejustjoined us, good to have you with us. i am sally bundock and we are focused on an announcement expected in the uk today. the government will be announcing what role the chinese telecoms giant huawei will play in britain's 5g network. the government is expected to change its current stance, and say that no new 5g equipment from the chinese firm can be installed after 2021, mainly due to national security concerns. downing street is also expected to announce that all its existing 5g kit from huawei must be removed, possibly by 2025. the announcement is likely to be welcomed by some conservative backbenchers, who want the government to adopt a harder line. i think for many of us, this is one of those moments where there is no point in taking back control from russell's, only two handed over to beijing. so we have realised very early on that what we're

dealing here is not a usual state partner but a state instead that is willing to use all means of control to leverage influence. we're now joined by james barford, who's the head of telecoms research at enders analysis. good morning, james. is this the right decision? should the uk no longer work with huawei? i think the justifications on security grounds are fairly tenuous. the equipment that huawei suppliers is a very clever physics but it is pretty much a dominant pipe in information technology terms. he doesn't know who you are or what you're talking about and can't control that. so perhaps there are other considerations here. on purely technical grounds, it is quite weak. is 2025 enough time for uk telecommunications companies to make this change, this pretty

enormous infrastructure change, isn't it? it is. it's about a third of the mobile network infrastructure in base station equipment is currently supplied by huawei. about 40% of broadband electronics are supplied by huawei. the last set of rules apply to broadband as well as mobile. so fairly dramatic. for mobile, five yea rs dramatic. for mobile, five years is dramatic. for mobile, five yea rs is pretty dramatic. for mobile, five years is pretty borderline whether it is enough time to do that without affecting user experience. for broadband, it is possibly too short, it's a bit more complex to get there. but in any case, five years is significantly shorter than the life of the equipment so there will be an extra cost with having to replace it. summer soccer about that now, who is going to pay for this? will it be the teller communications companies, will the government, the consumer and up paying higher prices, even the taxpayer? previously the

previous rules was there was no compensation and bt saw a £500 million hit which probably went to its shareholders in the end. now obviously the ongoing, there is also an ongoing cost if you are not dealing with the largest telecom medications anti—vaxxer in the world and therefore your prices may be a little bit higher. and so those types of costs probably, some of those costs might end up with the consumer. but in some cases, the operators may well ask the government for compensation. they have followed the rules to day. in the early days, the government was encouraging operators to use huawei so they do have a reasonable case you ask for compensation. we shall wait and see. james, thank you for your time. when we get any news from the government or updates today we

will make sure you know as well. let's talk more about the lockdown in california. california's governor — gavin newsom — has ordered the immediate closure of bars, restaurants and other businesses as infections continue to rise across the state. california, along with florida, arizona and texas have emerged as the new epicentres of the pandemic in the us. 0ur north american business correspondent michelle fleury sent us this report. california's economy is bigger than britain's and it has effectively announced that it is shutting its doors once again. the governor, gavin newsom, ordered us to be shot, alongside that, reference have been told that their indoor activities need to cease. to give you some context, 11% of california's workforce is employed in that industry. it accou nts employed in that industry. it accounts for $97 billion worth of sales. that was before the coronavirus pandemic. so this isa coronavirus pandemic. so this is a blow to them but it is not just restaurants and bars and

the hospitality industry that are affected. churches, gyms, nail salons, malls — the list goes on and on. all of them have been told that they too need to stop indoor activities in at least 30 counties in california that account for roughly 80% of the state's economy. and the reason for this is that over the last two weeks, the positivity rate has gone up by more than 20%. and this news came on the same day that students in los angeles and san diego found out that they would not be returning to school this autumn, the classes would be moving online. 0ver 800,000 students affected by that. that will also have a knock—on effect on parents trying tojuggle knock—on effect on parents trying to juggle childcare and work. the thing to take away from all of this is that this is the biggest rollback of a reopening plan we have seen. certainly the biggest state to do so and it underscores not just the severity of the outbreak but also the challenge

of getting the world's largest economy reopen again. let's now take a look at how the markets are faring. a lot going on this week that will keep traders busy and focused. you can see that it is pretty negative at the moment. that is despite the latest trade data coming from china. in the month ofjune, had a really good month. exports up half a percent injune, but inmate they were down 3.3%. so quite a turnaround. if you look at imports. they were up 2.7% injune. in may, they were down over 16%. so a real shift for china in terms of trade. singapore has announced it is in recession. we will discuss that in a moment. there are real concerns around tensions between united states and china. washington criticising china's claims in south china sea and of course the search of coronavirus in places like california. that is why we are seeing negative. taking a look at the us. loss of earnings, all of the big banks in the us

coming out of their reports this week which will be closely watched. the nasdaq, during the trading session in the day without a record but came down some 2%. we have what uk gdp numbers out for may. we will talk about that in a moment that will keep traders busy with as well. to singapore now, where the city—state's economy shrank by 41% in the second quarter, meaning it's now in recession — the contraction is much worse than most analysts predicted. let's now go to our asia business hub of singapore where mariko 0i joins us. nice to see you. not unexpected news but a lot worse. indeed, sally. as you say, i think it's fairto sally. as you say, i think it's fair to say that a recession was rather inevitable because, especially because this is the quarter when we were in the midst of that strict lockdown. but as you said, a 41% contraction was the biggest on record and it is expected to be

the worst recession or the country since independence from the uk in 1965. and because it is one of the first countries to release gross data for that particular period, i guess this provides the glimpse of how the ongoing pandemic could affect economies around the world. and no sector really was immune from this. you name it, the city's manufacturers rely heavily on exports of falling, the global trade following affected them badly. the construction sector has stalled really significantly, especially with a large number of covid—19 cases amongst the foreign workers working here. also retailers have seen sales fall at a record pace. and tourism has been hit badly as well because of all of the travel restrictions. the government he has already pledged around 20% of the country's gdp in stimulus measures and subsidising

workers salaries for example. now the economy is starting to reopen the question is how much longer can businesses reopen without laying off people. and some people say thatjob losses are inevitable. ok, thank you mariko, good to see you. google says it will invest $10 billion in india over the next five to seven years for digital innovation. while speaking at the google for india event, chief executive sundar pichai said the investment was a reflection of google's confidence in the future of india and its digital economy. arunoday mukharji has more. india has over 500 million active internet users and is pa rt active internet users and is part of the uk government's digital india initiative, the aim is to try and get a billion indians to go online. but the biggest roadblock to india's ambitious plan is setting up infrastructure and trying to get small and medium businesses to go online. but he says google wants to help bridge that gap. the $10 billion investment will help small and medium businesses make the

transition to digital operations and also help boost technology in critical sectors like health, education and agriculture. this has come at a crucial time for the indian economy when growth is likely to hitan economy when growth is likely to hit an all—time low and unemployment is set to rise. india's own digitaljourney is far from complete. there is still more work to be done to make the internet more affordable and useful for a billion indians. from improving voice input and computing all of india's languages, to inspiring and supporting whole new generation of indians. prime minister modi has welcome the announcement. india has none of the cheapest data rates in the world and over the last four years, cheap smart phones have been fighting the indian market, making it easierfor several indians to go online. experts say in the current environment where mobility is restricted, google's investment is likely to be effective.

really interesting to see where the money is going. let's get some of the day's other news. the french government has agreed to give pay rises worth some $9 billion to health workers, for the role they played in helping fight the coronavirus. the deal was signed with trade unions on monday after seven weeks of lengthy negotiations. in recent weeks, health workers have held protests to demand pay rises and better funding for hospitals. the whisky brand johnnie walker will soon be available in paper bottles. diageo, the drinks giant that owns the brand, said it plans to run a trial of the new environmentally—friendly packaging from next year. diageo's paper whisky bottle, which will be trialled in spring 2021, will be made from wood pulp and will be fully recyclable. nationwide will lower the minimum deposit it requires from first—time buyers to 10% from the 20th ofjuly. the uk's largest building society had restricted its mortgages in june in response to the coronavirus crisis. it follows the government's announcement of a temporary stamp duty holiday for people in england and northern ireland.

staying with the uk, injust over an hourfrom now, figures for how the economy performed in may will be released. two months ago we saw some parts of the economy reopening, such as construction and non—essential retail. economists are expecting the figures to be stronger than april's, which saw the economy contract by 20%. let's hope it is better, fingers crossed. eoin murray is head of investment at hermes investment management. what are you expecting in may? well, i think, what are you expecting in may? well, ithink, sally, a little bit unlike singapore where we saw a negative surprise, i think actually the uk figures might surprise on the upside for us in may. as you say, down 20% in april so really anything compared to that that looks better will be taken fairly positively. we have had a bit ofa positively. we have had a bit

of a sneak preview. the bank of england's chief economist said at the end ofjune that real—time data they follow, high—frequency data, suggested that the uk economy was actually recovering faster than the bank of england was expecting. so i think the potential is there for good news. 0ther, potential is there for good news. other, we should put some limitations around that probably. and talking long—term, of course we are looking at month by month at the moment and we know that may, june, july — it's going to be pretty grim for a while. but where are you, is your glass half full half empty when it comes along picture? in terms of the longer picture, i am still glass half empty. he says, so far, so the, thinking of yvie —shaped recovery. i am thinking reversed radical. picturing your head a square root symbol and flip it around andi root symbol and flip it around and i think that is what we will see today. a partial recovery but the easy wins are

now the quick fixes are out of the way and it's a lot harder from hereon. we have to have to mount come back very strongly. we have seen some good uk sales numbers but we know that consumer spending, according to barclay is down. almost 15% from june this year versus last. so there are big challenges that are still out there going to cause the economy to be in a difficult place for a while to come. and it makes sense doesn't it that consumer spending will be low right now? we are so concerned about our future, whether we have got a job or not, for how long. what outlook is, when i going to? i can't see that the consumer suddenly unloading their wallet. as you say, there are too many uncertainties out there. we have exit, the b word is still on the horizon. we have the potential for a second wave in the autumn as many are predicting. ultimately, to get us out of this situation, we are looking to outside of the economic system for a solution

and ultimately that is a vaccine. unlikely at this point, most scientists seem to ee, point, most scientists seem to agree, before the middle of next year at best a. i'm going to get into trouble here for going over time but i'm curious as to the mountain rescue stuff behind you. is that something you do? that is my guilty secret. that is my part—time hobby, yes. it could be called out at any minute. good to have you with us right now on the television. thank you for your analysis. symbiosis is a uk company with what used to be a fast—growing business — making exhibition stands. but it's had no business for the past few months because of the coronavirus lockdown. its managing director says she desperately needs the uk government to say when exhibitions and conferences can open again. let's take a look. we were really flying so we we re we were really flying so we were really looking forward to 2020.

we had a great start to the year. however, by the time it got to february, the writing was on the wall and we saw a drop—off in guests and delegates, and when conferences started to be cancelled, we lost six months work within just a few weeks, and we haven't worked since. if this goes on beyond november and into 2021, we would really have to drastically reduce the size of the business and we would have to make yet more of our loyal skilled, dedicated team redundant. the lockdown easing has had absolutely no benefit to the business at all. we are still waiting for any date or any glimmer of hope from the government of when the exhibition sector will be allowed to reopen. we need a date to restart. we need to get

backin date to restart. we need to get back in business so we can save the staff that we have gotten reopen the business. stay with us on bbc news. still to come: we have the story of a nine—year—old, a syrian girl who, with her family, nine—year—old, a syrian girl who, with herfamily, defied the odds to make a new life in england. after months of talks and missed deadlines, a deal has been struck to keep greece within the eurozone. the immediate prospect of greece going bust, in the worst crisis to hit the eurozone, has been averted. emergency services across central europe are stepping up their efforts to contain the worse floods this century. nearly 100 people have been killed. broadway is traditionally called the "great white way" by americans, but tonight, it is completely blacked out. it is a timely reminder to all americans of the problems that the energy crisis has brought to them. leaders meet in paris fora summit

we've been following the life of a syrian refugee, rouaa, who's now nine years old. she was born in the year the syrian conflict started. syria is at the centre of the world's biggest refugee crisis. rouaa is one of 5 million syrians who've fled their native land. the un says only a tiny fraction of those who need new homes will ever get the chance to be resettled. but rouaa and her family have defied the odds as our correspondent caroline hawley reports. imagine saying goodbye to your best friend. rouaa and ilhan have only a few hours left together. they'll probably never see each other again. we gave her a camera so she

would have the record of the life she is leaving behind. we have been visiting her in this refugee camp every year since she was five stop at first, she was keen to get back to syria as soon as possible. but her hopes of returning faded with every passing year of syria's more. the family fled here after a horrific chemical attack near their home. but they never got used to living like this. but not all of rouaa's family are leaving.

her oldest sister and her two children aren't part of the resettlement. like the vast majority of syrian refugees, they are stuck where they are. her mother says her children have lost seven years here, and every single family in the camp wishes that they were leaving too. it is late now, and finally time to go. the last farewells are full of pain. rouaa barely knows what to feel. they have never been to an airport before. never been on a plane. these are tickets

to another world. a global pandemic is just one new thing for this 9—year—old to experience. not since they had to abandon their now destroyed home in syria have they had keys to a place of their own. they seem awe—struck by it all. no queue for a shared toilet here. the simple pleasure of keeping clean. and outside, herfather is already busy.

looking back at where they were, as their new live begins, a family still divided by distance, a mix of anguish and hope. it's been an extraordinaryjourney from syria via lebanon to here. we have been asked not to say where. there is some hostility towards immigrants. but her family have so much faith in this country. the seeds her family planted on their first morning in the uk are thriving. rouaa is looking forward to starting school in the autumn. her family adore her, but the quality of rouaa's new life will also depend on the warmth

of the welcome she gets here. caroline hawley, bbc news. you are now up—to—date. have a lovely day. hello. fairly quiet on the weather front out there right now, a lot of cloud across the country. a fairly mild morning too. how about tuesday? i think there'll be a few sunny spells around. but on the whole, a pretty cloudy day ahead. and for some of us, quite a wet one, particularly in northern ireland. you can see all the cloud on the satellite picture. it's streaming our way. and i think the next two, three days will be quite overcast. the good weather, the high pressure is not far away. we've got to wait for that high pressure to build across the uk, but it's not going to happen immediately. so, this is what it looks like early hours of tuesday morning. i said it's mild, around 15 or 16 degrees across the south and the south—east. in aberdeen, around 12 degrees.

so, a lot of cloud moving across the uk during the morning and afternoon. but notice — in northern ireland, grey and quite wet. in fact, some of this rain will hang around through most of the day, so in belfast, you'll need your brollies. but the rest of the country, i think let's call it cloudy at times with a few sunny spells. 0n the whole, not a bad day, i guess — particularly i think on the south coast, where the brighter spells could be a little more lengthy. so this is what it looks like on wednesday. i think wednesday could be actually quite an overcast day across the uk with bits and pieces of rain or drizzle. so, grey for some of us, disappointing temperatures. whether you're in the north or the south, it'll be more or less the same, around 17 to 19 degrees. i mentioned that high pressure and the good weather. it is very slowly — at a glacial pace — building in towards the uk. and on thursday, low pressure to the north, high pressure to the south. so, where we're closer to the low pressure, you've got cloud and increasing breeze and some spots of rain there in the western isles, but in the south here, that high is trying to build

in, push the clouds away. so i think on thursday, it'll start to turn a little bit brighter. and you can see those temperatures are recovering, up to around 20 degrees there in belfast and also the north—east of england. and then friday and the weekend, watch these warm colours, these oranges, spread. that's the warmer air coming in from the south, so the thinking is that friday and the weekend, it will brighten up and it will turn quite a bit warmer. in fact, if you look at the south of the country, those temperatures by friday and saturday could be hitting the mid—20s. bye— bye.
