about the rich list is how the rich are getting much richer. it seems they didn't suffer from furloughs and being thrown out of work as so many people did during the pandemic. the wealth of billionaire than this country has gone up by £537 billion. that is a 21% increase. i think when you delve into this more and find out where they got their money from. on the subject of him, six years old, we look at the african list of billionaires come he only comes in at 16th but he brought a lot of his wealth with him. at16th but he brought a lot of his wealth with him.— at 16th but he brought a lot of his wealth with him. that is right. he fled his homeland _ wealth with him. that is right. he fled his homeland as _ wealth with him. that is right. he fled his homeland as a _ wealth with him. that is right. he fled his homeland as a child - wealth with him. that is right. he fled his homeland as a child and i fled his homeland as a child and then— fled his homeland as a child and then had — fled his homeland as a child and then had to do battle with robert will god — then had to do battle with robert will god be in order to get his business _ will god be in order to get his business up and running. it is called — business up and running. it is called ethernet. —— robert mo gabi. the biggest — called ethernet. —— robert mo gabi. the biggest telephone company there.

national news that is coming up next with victoria derbyshire. for myself and all the team, have a wonderful night. bit of a lull in the weather at the moment. the skies are clear in the morning's not looking bad at all across most of the uk. don't hold your breath, it's not going to last for very long. because we are expecting rain and gales through the afternoon, particularly across western areas of the uk. and if we have a look at the satellite picture you can see this swirl across the atlantic, another big low pressure and the weather front�*s already approaching ireland. you can see the low pressure, rather autumnal looking and that will be sweeping across us over the next couple of days. it's pushed by a strong jet stream, you can see here at 30,000 feet. the forecast for the early hours shows the rain pushing into ireland but many parts of the uk are clear and calm. in fact we are expecting a touch of frost in the glens of scotland

and even cities further south than birmingham, about three degrees in the morning. the forecast, from the morning onwards that weather front sweeps into western part of the uk, gale force winds develop around western coasts and for a time, an hour or two, the rain really could be quite heavy, particularly around south—western england, wales and also south west of scotland. notice that at this stage, from norwich all the way to aberdeen the weather is dry and the rain may not reach you until a lot later on in the day and probably during the evening hours. then out towards the west, the weather should calm down. here's monday's weather map, a low pressure sitting on top of the uk and typically, when we're in the centre of the low pressure, we get big shower clouds, so it's a day of storm clouds building, perhaps thunder and lightning across some parts of wales and england. perhaps a little bit of sunshine the across the north of england. however, northern and eastern scotland likely to be quite wet on monday as this weather front wraps around into the centre of this low pressure.

here's tuesday's weather forecast — the low pressure is moving towards the east butjust in the wake of it, further showers are expected from scotland and also along the eastern side of the country. out towards the west, the weather should start to improve. all in all, the rest of the weekend and into next week, looking fairly unsettled. but here's the good news — as we head towards the end of the week ahead, there are signs that the weather finally will be settling down. something to look forward to.
