that he will if not be an active outside on the political scene again, perhaps try another run, but, you know, all of us, once again, comes down to come as david was income of the legal challenges he and his circle will now face. and of course, the people who are going to be launching those challenges will have one big objection on their mind which is to stop him from being able to run again. shall which is to stop him from being able to run again-— to run again. all rights, onto the male. to run again. all rights, onto the male- david. _ to run again. all rights, onto the male. david, extraordinary, - to run again. all rights, onto the male. david, extraordinary, an l male. david, extraordinary, an article written by theresa may, really, laying into borisjohnson's moralfailure. so the man really, laying into borisjohnson's moral failure. so the man who got a majority of 80 being criticized by the prime minister, who, of course, who didn't. but, of course, theresa may has been pretty _ didn't. but, of course, theresa may has been pretty critical— didn't. but, of course, theresa may has been pretty critical of— didn't. but, of course, theresa may has been pretty critical of boris - didn't. but, of course, theresa may has been pretty critical of boris on i has been pretty critical of boris on these _ has been pretty critical of boris on these matters before, and particularly about the commitment to foreign _ particularly about the commitment to foreign aid _ particularly about the commitment to foreign aid and the cutting of that

already in the past year from brexit to the covid policy, really to everything. but what i do find quite theresa may is of all the people who draws attention to donald trump and her own relationship with donald trump, it's remarkable she would want to go there, considering how disastrous her own interactions with trump where and how humiliating they were. he publicly mocked her in interviews just were. he publicly mocked her in interviewsjust upon were. he publicly mocked her in interviews just upon meeting were. he publicly mocked her in interviewsjust upon meeting her when he came from his statement. it's a very theresa may moved to draw attention to something that before anyone else would think, well, that's quite embarrassing for you personally, and maybe you don't want to highlight it. it is want to highlight it. it is fascinating, _ want to highlight it. it is fascinating, isn't - want to highlight it. it is fascinating, isn't it? - want to highlight it. it is fascinating, isn't it? britain threatened to break the law, we abandon our global morbid leadership, we did not raise our credibility in the eyes of the world. that will go on and on, i think. she's also suggesting that

borisjohnson, the prime minister, should get close tojoe biden. and itjust seems that despite this so—called close friendship that president trump endorsing boris johnson, you know, the communication betweenjoe biden and the teams seems to be just as strong. well. between joe biden and the teams seems to be just as strong. seems to be “ust as strong. well, of course. seems to be just as strong. well, of course. because _ seems to be just as strong. well, of course. because what _ seems to be just as strong. well, of course. because what it _ seems to be just as strong. well, of course. because what it comes - seems to be just as strong. well, of| course. because what it comes down to isn't about the personal relationships as much as the fact that the us in the uk have a very important and mostly strategic relationship, which goes far beyond the actual people in power. so, it's absolutely no surprise thatjoe biden, even having criticized boris johnson before when he comes to being president, well be will engage and very much be business as usual. 0k, and very much be business as usual. ok, let's have a look at the express, david. covid, main splash forthe express, david. covid, main splash for the express, relax at our peril.

hello there. we've got storm christoph continuing to cause some problems not just into wednesday, but on into thursday as well. this area of cloud you can see here on the satellite picture has been bringing persistent rain pretty much all day across parts of england and wales, and there's more to come. by the end of thursday, we're looking at some areas over the high ground and wales, the peaks and the pennines picking up over 150 mm of rain. the met office amber warning, meanwhile, is for northern, central, and eastern england — it's here because, even before the rain arrived from christoph, rivers were running high. and combined with some snowmelt, that's the area that's causing most concerned with flooding and may be some severe flooding. but there could be some other areas, maybe the midlands and wales, that also are affected by localized flooding. it'll be a wet night, then, with heavy rain. the rain gets heavier overnight across wales, but mild and windy. further north, cold, frosty, and the risk of icy stretches into the scotland with showers.

but it should be a bright enough start to the day here. further southwards, that pulse of heavier rain will continue to work across wales and northern england — and each hour that passes, the risk of flooding will increase hour by hour. it'll be mild and quite windy across england and wales, temperatures quite widely around 11—12 celsius, but getting colder in scotland, where temperatures are about three celsius in aberdeen and glasgow. and then, wednesday night, that rain bumps into that cold air. we will see it turn to snow even down to low levels, we could see around 5—10 cm across eastern scotland. but worse over high ground, where we could see something like 20—a0 cm of snow — horrendous travel conditions, you just won't want to be out at all in this because, even as the snowplows clear the road, gale force winds willjust blow the drifting snow back onto the roads. so we could see some vehicles getting stranded, communities getting cut off, there may well be some power cuts, as well as that transport disruption. through thursday, we will start to see a bit of snowfall pushing into the hills of northern england,

where there could also be some local accumulations, as well. friday, christoph is over near scandinavia. so a quieter day, cold frost and the risk of icy stretches, temperatures for many a little bit below par. overall, a slightly quieter day. over the next few days, then, christoph brings the risk of some flooding, particularly focused across parts of england, and blizzards are drifting heavy snow across scotland wednesday night into thursday.
