them growing up without a dad, and that's what gave me the last thought to jump out of the car when i thought it was all over, because obviously i try to escape many times and i was stuck in there. and then i thought it was going to be the end, but thinking about my three kids, and thinking they wouldn't have a dad to grow up, itjust gave me that extra piece of power and energy to jump out. i was well aware that my hands are burning and i was in pain. and the situation, i do it was get out or die. and obviously, i did manage to get out and since then obviously, it's a big thing in my life. i must say i'm very happy. that experience was a tough one, i don't wish anyone

or two scattered around. and through the night across scotland we are expecting some wintry weather, some snow settling across the hills, perhaps even down to lower levels. you can see where the weather is coming from on the satellite picture you can see that drift of cloud from the north. in fact, the air is been coming in from the arctic for quite some time. hence it so chilly. temperatures should be averaging around 15 celsius in the uk. this time in may we are closer to eight to ten degrees and may be nudging up to around 12, 13 in london. really nippy and it's going to say it like it for the next two to three days was the night you can see primarily clear skies across the uk. but here that wintry weather affecting the scottish hills. as i say, some of that winteriness may reach lower levels as well was up there could be some feistiness

around early mornings across parts of scotland maybe even northern england and northern ireland too. onto thursday's weather forecast then, early in the morning that could be some cloud and rain flirting with the south coast of england. one or two showers dotted around elsewhere but the real showers on thursday will form across scotland and parts of northern england. again, hail and thunder possible. south of that so the midlands, wales, the south of england i think some sunshine around thursday really not a bad day but chilly. here's friday's weather forecast, again, a few showers expected to develop across eastern and northern areas. i think in the west it will be much drier and brighter. so belfast, liverpool, and in for some sunshine on friday. a big change awaits us as we head into the weekend. a low pressure is going to swing by. yes, that means rain but also this low pressure is going to bring a current of air coming out of the southwest. this is actually subtropical air. it is going to warm up across the uk. we are going to see that current of cold air cut off from the north. the temperatures will be gradually rising as we go through the weekend.

we are expecting some rain as well because this low pressure will bring a weather fronts. i think is soggy, mild sort of day on saturday and a little bit warmer for some on sunday. bye— bye.
