parts of of the wind is confined to parts of the south and east, gail is expected here for tomorrow looks much brighter, sunshine and showers, the strongest of the winds in the very far north of scotland. today, strong winds on the eastern edge of this developing low pressure system which will scoot its way up to northern scotland by tomorrow, but underneath it, as we have seen, various weather fronts combining, plenty of rain around to take us to the afternoon. dry start across parts of eastern england and the good part of scotland and drying up across parts of northern ireland after this morning cosmic rain, a scattering of showers to the afternoon. turning central and southern scotland, some of north—east england into late in the afternoon, driest of all in the far north of scotland. 11 to 15. lively showers but sunshine in between in wales in the south—west, the winds later here than this morning but the strongest are on the southern coastal counties of england right the way through the east anglia, a0 to 60 mail per hour gusts are complete by heavy rain, unpleasant travelling conditions. through this evening and overnight,

heavy rain across eastern areas to begin with, strong winds in parts of scotland as that area of low pressure goes northwards, elsewhere, clear skies, showers and the west and a fresh start to sunday morning with temperatures down into single figures for the vast majority. the chart for sunday shows the low pressure centred by this stage and it is around that that we will see the strongest of the winds, but we are bringing in fairly cool air mask from the north and west with a mixture of sunshine and showers for the vast majority. driest conditions to begin within eastern areas, some staying dry all day though some showers possible in the afternoon as the breeze picks up. winds strongest in shetland, 60 or maybe 70mph and it will feel cool in the breeze, offset a little bit where you have the longest and your spouse. there will be some sunshine in london for the marathon, almost perfect running conditions for many. some showers potentially later in the day as the wind picks up. showery for the belfast marathon, of course, also

taking place. as we go through the rest of the week, be prepared for more wet and windy weather particularly on tuesday, things turning drier and a bit warmer later in the week. goodbye for now. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines: the home secretary says police must "raise the bar", by taking the harassment of women more seriously. her thoughts are echoed by health secretary, sajid javid. the metropolitan police have said about reforms that they will be looking at, that is absolutely right. we also need to look at what government can do to build that confidence. after days of queuing at the pumps, the army will begin delivering fuel to petrol stations across the uk from monday. the queen officially opens the sixth session of the scottish parliament at holyrood. provisional clinical trial results suggest an experimental drug for severe covid cuts the risk of hospitalisation or death by about half. and two new streams of lava pose

a further threat of destruction as the la palma volcano forces thousands more to flee. now on bbc news, we look at the hidden world of girls in gangs. a warning — some people may find the following programme distressing. the way children have been groomed has been the same for centuries, but the tactics around that exploitation have changed. it's very normalised that girls should be sexualised and sent around. this is a generation that has been born into the internet age. - the boys that are in gangs, they have girlfriends. the girls will do a lot of bad stuff for them just because they are in love with them. he had me selling his drugs for him. i think i was about 12, - they gave me stuff to hold. i looked in the bag and it was a gun. i that was when they were - grooming me for other stuff.

lots of people told me to do it, and then you have other people telling you that it's wrong. it was exploitation and it was grooming. when girls are being sexually exploited in gangs, _ there is a level— of humiliation that goes with that that people don't understand, and it isjust terrifying. - i still dream about- the victims that i created. ijust couldn't see a way out. once they are involved, the purpose is to exploit, to make money, and it is ruthless. ijust couldn't even - look at myself any more. i don't think i wanted to die, ijust wanted to be free of the pain. there is a high percentage of males that are picked up in terms of criminal exploitation. there is an underrepresentation of females. the way that children are exploited

has been the same for centuries. what is happening is largely because of technology, the tools that they have to undertake these tactics have increased. the thing about girls is, because they are hidden, we don't really know what is going on. when you are understanding the structure of gangs, you have your elders, who are sort of out of the picture, nobody really knows who they are, the money gets sent there. they are way out of the picture. they are usually older males. then you have got olders, controlling what we would class as street gangs. that is what we are talking about, street gangs. the olders will run that. your youngers are the ones you are seeing getting killed in the streets. they are the ones that are out there, probably operating from a house, they are the ones that are feeding all

of the money up to the olders. then you have your runners, they are the ones that will take the drugs, they are just running at about. you have your tinies, who are children under the age of ten because they cannot be held criminally responsible for what they are doing. they have got quite a lot of power, because obviously the olders have got quite a lot of use for them. then you have links, usually girls who are there for sex. that is how it looks within a gang. if you want to do it very quickly, that is what it looks like. females... females can obviously be at any position, i guess, but they are not going to get much past a younger. if you think about it like a management situation, there are this many olders, then there is a whole lot of youngers, all fighting to become olders. for a girl to progress in that situation is very rare. a girl could progress by being quite ruthless, i could imagine. theyjust made everything, like, shivving and all of that and it's not good. i have had people my age singing about they have shivved three men up. because they are talking - about shivving, if you don't stab someone, you are like a link.

i would say mainly from about 13 onwards, as the years went on, i started hanging around with people that were a lot older than me. i was influenced into fighting, robbing... if someone snitched, call me and i would beat them up. if someone did this, call aliyah. you look over my way or at my people and i will come up and i will knock you out. i enjoyed beating up at one point in my life. you want something held, iwill hold it. delivered, iwill take it. you want me to be in the car while you go and do something, i will be there. my mum and my dad would argue all the time.

my dad would beat my mum up. we would get beaten. i used to come home after school at the window would be open. we would know that daddy has his stuff, we would have a good evening. if the window was shut, you are not having a good evening, but we've known that our whole life, we've always known. that is what daddy took for him to be happy, but also it made him very horrible. i was born into poverty, i was domestically abused. there is no way around that. i was. the domestic abuse was taking place before my mum was pregnant, whilst, after. i was never the victim in terms of being hit, but it was always present. it was a very criminal household, there was always something going on. the domestic abuse ended once my dad went to prison for the first time. but then that impacted on my mum's mental health. there was never a safe time, there was always something going on. there would be no food or no money
