withdrawal of those troops would lead inevitably to the collapse of afghan forces. they told the senate on the committee that the way the withdrawal was handled had damaged america's credibility with its allies. and while they refuse to share its personal recommendations to the present, the assessment which he first made to the autumn of 2020 have remained consistent throughout. here is part of that exchange. my here is part of that exchange. m assessment was here is part of that exchange. mg assessment was that back in the fall of 2020 and being consistent throughout was that we should keep a state of 2,500 he could bounce up to 3,000. did state of 2,500 he could bounce up to 3,000. , , ., state of 2,500 he could bounce up to 3,000. , g ., , ., state of 2,500 he could bounce up to 3,000. , _, , ., , state of 2,500 he could bounce up to 3,000. , i. , ., , ., 3,000. did you ever bring that up to president biden? _ 3,000. did you ever bring that up to president biden? i— 3,000. did you ever bring that up to president biden? i do _ 3,000. did you ever bring that up to president biden? i do not _ 3,000. did you ever bring that up to president biden? i do not discuss . president biden? i do not discuss what my conversations _ president biden? i do not discuss what my conversations with - president biden? i do not discuss what my conversations with the l what my conversations with the sitting president is but i can tell you what my personal opinion was but it's always candid. d0 you what my personal opinion was but it's always candid.— it's always candid. do you share that assessment. _ it's always candid. do you share that assessment. senator, - it's always candid. do you share that assessment. senator, i- it's always candid. do you share that assessment. senator, i do| it's always candid. do you share - that assessment. senator, i do share that assessment. senator, i do share

your resignation would have the impact to say that i am not going to be a part of the destruction of everything we have worked for for 20 years, of all the lives lost and all the credibility of the united states and the free world, i'm not going to be a part of it and more clearly did not have the wherewithal to do that, he certainly didn't have any problem with political statements when he apologised for walking to a burned church, one of many, mind you, during the riots, during the trump administration, the riots right outside the white house, he didn't have any problem with the political implications of that. so, i see them as very disingenuous, i see all of them is disingenuous and quite honestly, america demands accountability. this is an epic failure and his sacrifice, america sacrificed greatly in these folks surrendered and supported the surrendered and supported the surrender on behalf of the united

states of america. many of us citizens completely disagree with that, there needs to be accountability and someone needs to be held responsible for it and so far, no one has been.— far, no one has been. let's play that exchange _ far, no one has been. let's play that exchange because - far, no one has been. let's play that exchange because as - far, no one has been. let's play that exchange because as you l that exchange because as you said, he was asked why he was not resigned, which he said he had given, was not heated. have a listen. ll given, was not heated. have a listen. ., ., , , listen. if all of this is true, why have you _ listen. if all of this is true, why have you rrot — listen. if all of this is true, why have you not resigned? - listen. if all of this is true, why i have you not resigned? senator, listen. if all of this is true, why - have you not resigned? senator, as a senior military _ have you not resigned? senator, as a senior military officer, _ have you not resigned? senator, as a senior military officer, resigning - senior military officer, resigning is a really serious thing. it is a political act if i'm resigning in protest. myjob is to provide advice and my legal advice or best military advice to the president and that is my legal requirement. that is what the law is. the president doesn't have to agree with that advice, he does not have to make those decisions just because were generals. and it would be an incredible act of political defiance for a commissioned officer tojust for a commissioned officer to just resign for a commissioned officer tojust resign because my advice is not

taken. this country does not want generals figuring out what orders we are going to accept and do or not. that is not ourjob. the control of the military is critical to this republic and addition to that, he did not resigned from iwojima and they do not get a, they cannot resign, so i am not going to resign, there is no way. ads, resign, so i am not going to resign, there is no way-— there is no way. a remarkable exchange _ there is no way. a remarkable exchange that _ there is no way. a remarkable exchange that and _ there is no way. a remarkable i exchange that and congressman, there is no way. a remarkable - exchange that and congressman, your regimen and the rack, what if you had resigned and your men and women on the front line had seen you walk off the line, they would not have appreciated that, what day? pictures what they really _ appreciated that, what day? pictures what they really don't _ appreciated that, what day? pictures what they really don't appreciate. . what they really don't appreciate. being put in a position where they that lives note are going to be lost, thejeopardy that lives note are going to be lost, the jeopardy that they're trying to accomplish is being jeopardised, for political purposes and with all due respect, if there is any to the chairman ofjoint

chiefs of staff this issue, his job is to provide advice but he did not seem to be willing to do that when president trump was the president and the commander—in—chief. he president trump was the president and the commander-in-chief. he did cive and the commander-in-chief. he did give advice- — and the commander-in-chief. he did give advice- he _ and the commander-in-chief. he did give advice. he had _ and the commander-in-chief. he did give advice. he had advised - and the commander-in-chief. he did give advice. he had advised to - and the commander-in-chief. he did give advice. he had advised to have l give advice. he had advised to have thousand troops should remain in the country and he gave that advice in the fall of 2020, he said. so, he did. and president trump ignored it. i'm talking about him setting up a separate chain of command involving the nuclear orders under president trump where he said anyone would have, president trump were involved in anything like that, they would have to come through mark or if he talked to his counterpart in china which essentially, he has not denied and unfortunately simon seems like acceptance on this term and on these terms and if that is true, if that in fact is true, then i call for

article six investigation to determine if that is true and if it is, we are looking at various serious charges indeed. it seems to me that mark used his standing with political military advisers to the president to further his own political agenda and his own political agenda and his own political viewpoints and that is not the job of members of the service and the uniform service at all and that's very clear at this point that there is a double standard forjoe biden with mark millie as the chairman is a to donald trump. he felt it necessary to take the action he did. it speaks of the gravity of the situation as he sought in the days running up to january the sixth, but he was asked whether he had spoken to various authors and washington about those final few weeks of the donald trump administration. he was asked this by administration. he was asked this by a republican senator. yes administration. he was asked this by a republican senator.— a republican senator. yes or no to this. you talk, _

are political decisions and he would not make them to resign would be a political move, they did not seem to have any problems talking to any kinds of people writing political books in washington and when he is talking about elections is the senior military adviser, that is generally for people in uniform forbidden. so mark milley has a political narrative, a political position and it seems like he makes his decisions based on those things and not his bestjudgment for the commander—in—chief revolving around military readiness or the ability to secure our safety and including in afghanistan. secure our safety and including in afghanistan-— secure our safety and including in afghanistan. thank you very much indeed. the fuel situation and the uk speaking to improve according to the prime minister borisjohnson. petrol pumps have been running trade in recent days after a panic buying

worsened shortages caused by lack of truckers. and they said their early signs of the pressure was starting to ease. nonetheless, the defence secretary has not approved a request for the army to drive tankers. decisions about the deployment are still to be made, the could be delivering fuel by the end of the week once they received training. they will be using company tanks incidentally, not their own. putting it to her uk political correspondent, that there had been a change of heart within the government. i think what has changed his pressure and concern that they were losing control of the situation.— were losing control of the situation. ., , situation. people want believing ministers were _ situation. people want believing ministers were repeatedly - situation. people want believing| ministers were repeatedly saying there was no need to panic. we know there was no need to panic. we know the people were not believing that because we can all see the cues at petrol stations and the question kept coming and i think from the government perspective, it was sufficiently serious that you could hear critics say, who was in charge your? does the government have a

grip on the situation that is clearly spiralling out of control and the answer to that stuff evidently was no, they did not. hence the decision to move and to bring in the military drivers and we find out more information about that as soon as tomorrow. and the prime minister seeking to reassure people and the last few hours that they think that things are actually starting to stabilise and will instantly change overnight, but beginning to think they're getting a grip on this and perhaps the worst of it is behind us. but to answer your question, they felt they needed to intervene and do something in order to try to reassure people because people clearly were less than reassured. the because people clearly were less than reassured.— than reassured. the labour conference, _ than reassured. the labour conference, the _ than reassured. the labour conference, the annual - than reassured. the labour- conference, the annual conference than reassured. the labour— conference, the annual conference on the shuttle health secretary said that he wanted critical workers to give priority in the prime minister has said today that he doesn't want to do that. why? the has said today that he doesn't want to do that. why?— has said today that he doesn't want to do that. why? the prime minister is not keen

practical sense of implementing it and also not creating a sense that the situation is sufficiently bleak that would be necessary. as if things weren't bad enough at petrol, the presence of british gas reached a new all—time high today and renewing concerns that a cold winter will deepen a an already collapsed. from russian. in america, there is still exporting gas but entries are running well below the seasonal average and gas is the problem. a barrel went higher than $18 this week and as you can see, it dipped below $80 and the event trees are critically low too, which raises the question, is europe's energy crisis about to go global? that speak to our correspondent in new york. are they worried over there new york about

this crisis going global? the offence that _ this crisis going global? the offence that you _ this crisis going global? tl2 offence that you have happening this crisis going global? t'l2 offence that you have happening in europe could possibly spread to hear in the united states. you have this insatiable desire for energy from economies all around the world and as you try to recover from the post— pandemic era, and then, you have this cold weather that is coming up next couple of months and in europe and big parts of the united states. and you have those kinds of shortages that you really to a head in europe and there are some signs that perhaps there are some of the shortages that could happen here in the united states but the energy situation is very different here because there's a lot more available resources, more domestically, there's more trucking in from other sources and there's a possibility that the united states may be able

to avoid those kinds of critical shortages that you are seeing, but does not mean they're going to escape any of the global fluctuations that you are seeing in the presence of oil stop the press of energy usually dictates the press itself because the higher it is, the less people use. but itself because the higher it is, the less people use.— itself because the higher it is, the less people use. but that is not the case of the — less people use. but that is not the case of the moment _ less people use. but that is not the case of the moment because - less people use. but that is not the case of the moment because as - less people use. but that is not the| case of the moment because as you say, there is real growth in the winter as well, and the such a huge demand and are you saying that what sort of winter we get dictates generally whether we have skyrocketing inflation? ll generally whether we have skyrocketing inflation? if you have an one skyrocketing inflation? if you have any one these _ skyrocketing inflation? if you have any one these individual— skyrocketing inflation? if you have any one these individual events, l any one these individual events, global energy market could deal with it. if you just have to deal with recovering from this massive pandemic, the road energy reserves, whether it be cold, natural gas or oil could extend that. but now you have more than one massive event

happening at the same time and it's a big confluence of events that is exploding at the same time and not necessarily the threat of a cold winter, but a cold winter on top of the already declining reserves in some places on top of this insatiable demand for energy. giving info to the banking _ insatiable demand for energy. giving info to the banking committee - insatiable demand for energy. giving info to the banking committee on the hill, what did he have to say about inflation? . . hill, what did he have to say about inflation? , , ., inflation? this is something that, he is the head _ inflation? this is something that, he is the head of _ inflation? this is something that, he is the head of the _ inflation? this is something that, he is the head of the central- inflation? this is something that, | he is the head of the central bank federal reserve and he has been talking about inflation for quite a while. when you see these kinds of, this high demand of short supply, obviously you're going to see prices are going to go up and we are not just going to see it in energy, we are seeing it without expensive cars are seeing it without expensive cars are becoming because we don't have enough microchip sexy put into the scars and we are seeing with these price increases are called in inflation. and for a long time they have been saying that look, all of

taper that inflation which has an impact on what happens with the labour market and in this position with the labour market is also really not performing very well. it is actually very low. and those two events which actually, there could be this issue of stagflation because anyone who could do a thing to try to address the issues of inflation actually will have a negative impact on the labour market.— actually will have a negative impact on the labour market. there is a lot of concern — on the labour market. there is a lot of concern on _ on the labour market. there is a lot of concern on wall— on the labour market. there is a lot of concern on wall street _ of concern on wall street debt ceiling being raised and no agreement yet between republicans and democrats and if they do not raise the debt ceiling, than the us is going to default on its debts and giving evidence to this committee on her thoughts. lt is giving evidence to this committee on her thoughts-— her thoughts. it is necessary to avert a catastrophic— her thoughts. it is necessary to avert a catastrophic event - her thoughts. it is necessary to avert a catastrophic event for i her thoughts. it is necessary to i avert a catastrophic event for the economy. senators, the debt ceiling has been raised or suspended 78

and in the united states, the federal aviation event recorded thousands of incidents this year and more than 3,000 of those incidents were related to mask mandates on board. those numbers are the highest ever recorded and just last week, delta urged airlines to create an industrywide no—fly list for people who would be unable to book a ticket or board a flight on any participating airline. flight attendants are saying this 0—tolerance policy that went into place at the beginning of this year needs to be made permanent. joining me as the international president of the association of flight attendants. thank you for being with us. you have experience of this? you've been on a flavour you've encountered why these unruly passengers?— encountered why these unruly assenuers? ., passengers? look, i have actually. nonetheless— passengers? look, i have actually. nonetheless six _ passengers? look, i have actually. nonetheless six months, - passengers? look, i have actually. i nonetheless six months, thankfully. we did a survey of our members and across around 30 different airlines responded. 85% of them said they experienced an event in the first six months of 2021 and 71% of them

said there had been five events or more. so, this is really extraordinary because these events used to be a really bad day at work one or two days in your career and now this seems to be pervasive in our environment. in fact, now this seems to be pervasive in our environment. infact, if now this seems to be pervasive in our environment. in fact, if we stay on the string, were going to have more events in 2021 that we have in the entire history of aviation. l’m the entire history of aviation. i'm surrised the entire history of aviation. i'm surprised this _ the entire history of aviation. i'm surprised this has been shared already because i know that passengers pose such a risk to an airline. do you not share information generally and would it make a huge difference with all the airlines coming together like this? but we need his consistent communication and coordination across the industry with the airlines and the airports. this is what we've been calling for the past six months is the sharing of this information in the airlines have been banning passengers for over a year now for unruly behaviour on their particular airlines and we can share that information and have a common database with the faa and so we can have a no—fly list in an

airline no—fly list which is different than the fbi terrorist no—fly list, but an airline no—fly list shared across the industry so people understand what the consequences are. they can face fines underfederal consequences are. they can face fines under federal law and they can face up to 20 years in prison and we do need the department ofjustice to be prosecuted in a criminal way. and we had the federal aviation administration that could have this list of people understand that if they act out, they may not be able to fly again. they act out, they may not be able to fly again-— to fly again. and i read that the ceo of southwest _ to fly again. and i read that the ceo of southwest airlines - to fly again. and i read that the | ceo of southwest airlines which ranks as the largest domestic airline has given approval for this, so that's two airlines and domestically, i can see that this will probably do hold, but what about the international airlines, those that go to the united states, are you urging them tojoin in as well? are you urging them to 'oin in as well? ~ . are you urging them to 'oin in as well? 2 . , , . ~' are you urging them to 'oin in as well? 2 . , , . ~ ., well? we are speaking to the domestic airlines _ well? we are speaking to the domestic airlines that - well? we are speaking to the domestic airlines that we - well? we are speaking to the l domestic airlines that we work well? we are speaking to the - domestic airlines that we work with and there is a common thread here about the, they're very interested in this we know we need to get this

under control. we need to get this under control. we need to get this under control. we need to get this under control because this is a distraction from the very serious safety duties that we have his flight attendants we can miscues in a coordinated terrorist attack or we can miss out on on our ability to help people in a medical emergency or responding to emergencies on board. every time there's an event, it's a distraction on the flight deck and that can be a slight issue. as we get coordinated, we have no doubt they're talking with their counterparts and we are connecting with unions internationally to address this issue and as a coordinated no—fly list or no flight airline list, we certainly could make that a worldwide phenomenon. thank you very much for coming on the programme and we will see if any airlines respond to that over here and to stay with us, we have plenty more to come. and we will talk about the implications for the united

states and over here in the uk. and also, the spanish government declaring it a national emergency. will bring you all of that. hello. after what's been a relatively dry and warm september so far, the weather has now left us in no doubt that autumn has arrived. we've had some really heavy rain today, some brisk winds, too. tomorrow gives a chance to draw breath, it should be drier and brighter, albeit with 1—2 showers,, and it albeit with 1—2 showers, and it will be cool and breezy once again. this area of cloud on the satellite picture brought the rain today, more weather systems are waiting in the winds — but you can see this clearer slot now working its way in, a little ridge of high pressure, and it's that that will give us a somewhat drier day during tomorrow. but still some rain to clear away eastwards at the moment, that will tend to clear as we head through the night, some clearer spells following behind, but with some showers pushing in from the west. and it'll be quite a chilly night,

temperatures widely down into single digits, 1—2 areas down to 4—5 celsius. a decidedly cool start to wednesday morning, but for most of us, there'll be some sunshine. some showers around becoming increasingly few and far in between through the day, most especially cropping up in a northwest england, the midlands, maybe the odd one getting down to the southeast, as well. but otherwise some good spells of sunshine, but it stays quite breezy and the temperatures no great shakes, 13—16 celsius. now, with the slice of clear skies, it'll temporarily turn quite chilly again on wednesday night, especially across eastern areas, parts of northeast scotland might drop down to around two celsius, which could allow for a touch of ground frost. it'llb be turning milder in the west, because our next weather system will be approaching, bringing increasingly strong and gusty winds, and outbreaks of rain. so some soggy weather to start thursday morning, the rain tending to push eastwards.

it'll turn a little dryer for some northern areas particularly and, while the winds will ease further north, it'll stay quite gusty through the day, wind gusts towards the south at 40mph or more in exposed spots. temperatures 13—17 celsius in the far southwest. into the weekend, low pressure firmly in charge. the details will change between now and then, but certainly we will see rain at times, but not all the time, and potentially there could be some quite strong winds, as well. some drier, drier interludes then, some wet and windy weather, and temperatures generally between 13—17 celsius.

world premiere in london tonight. . a year ago, it wasjust a dream, so to be here isjust a huge relief. welcome back. there's a new arms race unfolding, and it's a race at hypersonic speed. in the last 31; hours the pentagon announced that it had successfully launched a missile that travelled at five times the speed of sound, or 1.5 kph. the united states, china are developing hypersonic weapons, but what place... i'mjoined byjames acton, and expert on hypersonic conventional weapons, and carnegie. thank you for being with us. i was trying to get my head around max

five yesterday — mach five, it's an extraordinary 1.5 kph — kilometres a second. why do we need something that travels at that speed? this second. why do we need something that travels at that speed?- that travels at that speed? this is a really good _ that travels at that speed? this is a really good question _ that travels at that speed? this is a really good question that - that travels at that speed? this is a really good question that the i a really good question that the secretary of the air force himself raised. he made the point that the us has never really developed a concept of hypersonic weapons — in other words, concept of hypersonic weapons — in otherwords, it's concept of hypersonic weapons — in other words, it's never identified the kind of concrete mission needed that these weapons could be used for. and if it shows military officers all the possibilities.

how is it actually works, how do they generate that sort of speed? indicates this particular weapon, the system, the hypersonic weapon concept. this is a scrambled jet fire mishap and so, i need a fan on the front of the engine to force into the air and if you move fast enough, you won't need that fan any longer and the aircraft into the engine, where it is igniting the mixture of fuel and ejected out the back at high speeds. that essentially is how this works and i should point out that this really is mind—boggling but, countries, including the uk in the us have ballistic missiles the go much

faster than that we've had them for decades. these high speeds are not as new as people think they are. and i'll be in an arms race. ? that is the real question because china has them, russia has them, is that a reason to build them? i think we are in an arms race, but i don't think that's a good reason for getting into an arms race. in the united states is a very strong argument, that something is true in reverse, but from a us perspective, i don't think we should build weapons just because another country is built them. i think that's a bad reason to do it. i think we should develop weapons where there is a clearly defined mission needed and that is where it is the most cost—effective way of fulfilling that. in the air force has said, i don't think the military has made that case for hypersonic weapons.—

military has made that case for hypersonic weapons. there will be a lot of people — hypersonic weapons. there will be a lot of people who — hypersonic weapons. there will be a lot of people who do _ hypersonic weapons. there will be a lot of people who do not _ hypersonic weapons. there will be a i lot of people who do not understand the reasons that we give for wanting to build more and more missiles. as a missile like this a deterrent with men not of nuclear weapons were deterrent?— men not of nuclear weapons were deterrent? , ., , ., ., deterrent? there is no question that states acquire _ deterrent? there is no question that states acquire these _ deterrent? there is no question that states acquire these high-end - states acquire these high—end military capabilities precisely because they help to avoid fighting a war. because if they have come to her by having the capabilities of the ability to deny this, that they will not be inclined to go to war. i think the act of deterrence are very real, not as a case of nuclear weapons, but being able to defeat an enemy on the battlefield. and the desire for deterrence is very real. i think often, the negative consequences of these kinds of developments is the risks of arms race and, even seriously, the use of these weapons could spark escalation

in a conflict in their negative sites that are not taken into account sufficiently within these acts of decision—making process. taking a look at the other news. the social democrats are narrowly won the election hope to talk to the democrats to form a through a government. merkel�*s party has conceded that he has the best chance of becoming the next chancellor and it puts the conservatives on the brink of sitting on the opposition benches. russian prosecutors of opened up new criminal cases. it says it constituted an extremist community aimed at discrediting the state authorities. the foundation investigated high—level corruption and broadcasted a documentary about and broadcasted a documentary about a palace on the black sea supposedly owned by president putin. police in

let us move on to the volcano. the island of la palma has not been declared a disaster zone and towards the sea for nine days, destroying almost 600 houses in its path, they will receive a package of e10.5 million which includes around e5,000,000 to build new houses and it is within 800 metres of the atlantic ocean which could lead to explosions in the release of toxic gas. but speak again to a volcanologist at the royal geographic with society of london. the last time we spoke, there was no way to predict with the volcano was going to do, but we look at the seismic activity around it, what do you see? seismic activity around it, what do ou see? 2, ., , seismic activity around it, what do ou see? ., ., , ., seismic activity around it, what do ousee? ., , ., , you see? volcanoes are usually unpredictable. _ you see? volcanoes are usually unpredictable. it _ you see? volcanoes are usually unpredictable. it is _ you see? volcanoes are usually unpredictable. it is very - you see? volcanoes are usually| unpredictable. it is very difficult to predict them. we can forecast roughly, but according to the

volcano observatory in the canary islands, they have been measuring the seismic activity and you can see that actually, the activity itself has been diminishing since yesterday and pretty much may be gone, which will indicate that may be the magma is not rising to the surface or maybe it is found a path of least resistance to travel to the surface, not sure what is happening down there but it is looking more hopeful that there is not as much activity over the last few days. lt that there is not as much activity over the last few days.— that there is not as much activity over the last few days. it will be a relief to people _ over the last few days. it will be a relief to people who _ over the last few days. it will be a relief to people who have - over the last few days. it will be a relief to people who have been i relief to people who have been evacuated. there are new lava flows and it's been pretty spectacular again tonight and it looks very much more viscous, the love that we are seeing. can you talk to us about the lava flows and how they are making their way down the volcano? mellie their way down the volcano? well, we've had several— their way down the volcano? well, we've had several eruptions i

those living on the coastline into lava flows. let us return to the arcadia verdict. we were talking about the impact it might have on brooklyn — black women coming forward and read it he would be considered more by the justice system. the ceo of cystic a domestic charity for african women. i am sorry we cannot hear you. that's pick—up pretty left off. do you think it might have have an effect over here in the uk in the way that people are treated? flat an effect over here in the uk in the way that people are treated? not at all. unfortunately _ way that people are treated? not at all. unfortunately department i way that people are treated? not at all. unfortunately department in i all. unfortunately department in america is very similar to the problem that we face uk. in fact black women and children victims of abuse are never heard. not taken seriously and not treated equally. and that one person — not one person has been found guilty after 30 years. if he believed for a second that it's going to have any impact

violence against women and girls sector, it is the crown prosecution service. it's almost everywhere back with an intern. it is the same thing. we are not seen and we are not heard. it does not help because it puts middle—class people in one category and practically everybody else in the same category. so we lose our identity and lose who we are and we are not being heard and that's causing death. so valerie's law seeks to make it mandatory that the police and other people who support women going to domestic abuse. it's the basics of how to support charities and it's very basic and it's life—changing. talk basic and it's life-changing. talk to me about _ basic and it's life-changing. talk to me about that _ basic and it's life—changing. talk to me about that life—saving trade because obviously some of this is not talked about a lot. but things

tomorrow. 10pm news is coming up here and if you are watching on bbc world news. goodbye. the past couple of days have brought us a transition to something much more autumnal and unsettled. we have that low pressure in charge of our weather. at least the one day on wednesday they're expecting a window of quite weather for most areas. it's quite cool with wanted to show but the area of low pressure that brought us tuesday's raid will be clearing off towards the east and an area of high pressure building and for a time. it will not feel warm and that is because the wind will come in from the northwest direction. very cool air mass with us on wednesday. a cold start today for some areas of temperatures in the mid—single figures. a lot of dry and sunny weather if you notice a scattering of showers moving in on the northwest breeze. it will affect western parts of scotland perhaps

northern ireland or northwest england into the midlands could see a few showers. most areas of lighting the shower is not particularly warm. 12 to 16 degrees and there should be clear skies and sunshine around. the window of dry weather does not last for long. wednesday night and thursday morning we will see the next area of low pressure bringing a lot of cloudiness and outbreaks of rain and strengthening wings as well. temperatures will be down in single figures for a few spots as a start thursday morning. we will see this area of low pressure dominating and the trading weather fronts are set to bring some spells of heavy rain first think that estate areas. they name brand of rain will follow by some and blustery showers. perhaps a bit more persistent rain moving into northern ireland by the end of the day. temperatures on thursday at about 13 to 17 degrees and it will be called with those outbreaks of rain. there into friday to next area of low pressure moves in from the last. so some conveyor belt moments bringing these area of low pressure through the course of the week.

friday, the next area of low pressure on the next weather front with outbreaks of rain pushing east across england and wales. it will return to sunshine and scattered showers for scotland and for northern ireland as well. most of us will see temperatures in the mid teens and 17 degrees or so for the warm spots. towards the end of the week and we it looks like low pressure will be sent to the north of the uk with the weather front rotating around that area of low pressure. the next one arrives on saturday and you can see the arrows coming in from setting directions and it will be a cold field to the letter. not cold because of the southern winds, 17 degrees, and cooler for scotland and northern ireland. outbreaks of heavy rain combined with wings as well. gusts of 30 or 60 mph especially near the coasts and heels. a wet and windy picture but into sunday it looks like the low pressure will ease up. towards the east, we are left with wings coming in from the northwest direction. it will set us up on sunday for a day of sunshine and

blustery showers. showers most frequent towards the west where i spray the east fewer showers here. it will be drier but not warm. 11 to 15 degrees. early part of next week let's look at the jet stream. it would be diving towards the south and then moving north. so thejet stream will bring low pressure but thenit stream will bring low pressure but then it looks like later next week high pressure will start to establish itself in some way to the south or east of the uk. the weather front living close to the northwest. we could see aspect later on. the six 310 day period with dry weather across the southeast of the uk state unsettled in the northwest and not quite as breezy as the rest of the week. temperatures will be average. goodbye.

tonight at ten — borisjohnson says the fuel problems are easing but queues for petrol are still a familiar sight. calls for key workers such as nhs staff to be given priority on the forecourts have been rejected as unnecessary. and there could soon be army drivers joining the commercial fleets to meet the spike in demand. i would just really urge everybody to just go about their business in the normal way and fill up in the normal way when you really need it. earlier this evening mrjohnson's government approved use of army vehicles to deliver fuel supplies. also tonight... in brighton we talk to sir keir starmer about labour disunity on the eve of his big conference speech. the french say they're doing
