the travel ban was imposed now people from 33 countries, including the uk, ireland iran, as the have proof of vaccination and a recent negative coronavirus test. the uk celebrated by having the first two flights to the us take off in tandem. let's have a look at them preparing on the tarmac. a british airways plane and a british airways —— american airline, here —— and here they are — a british airways plane and a virgis airline one — taking off at the exact same time. for many in the uk, it was a big moment.

vaccines approved by the us food and drug administration and vaccines listed for emergency use by the world health organisation. here's chris haslam again. on travellers simply not welcome. can get a special dispensation from parliament to go to america if you are not unvaccinated. but for practical purposes, that is not happening. you need to be vaccinated, you need to have proof of that vaccination. he also need to fill in something called the cdc, centres for disease control at a station. very apt document. it basically says, yes, i have had a test, and this is my name. but you still need to have it. it's an add of bureaucracy. ——it�*s an odd bit of bureaucracy. it's now five days days since the uk government tried to change the parliamentary standards system. five days of what minister george eustice called

five days of fallout from what mail on sunday columnist dan hodges called a "humiliating, omni—shambolic shambolic, multi—lane pile—up". five days which has brought us to an emergency debate in the house of commons which the speaker sir lindsay hoyle says is a chance to "cleanse". it was a very dark week for parliament. i don't want another week like that. this is a story that begins with lobbying. the now former conservative mp owen paterson was found by the independents standards committee to have broken parliamentary rules. biva 30 day suspension was recommended — but rather a 30 day suspension was recommended — but rather than vote that through, the government instead proposed a complete overhaul of the system. something that at the very least would have delayed that punishment. that was wednesday afternoon. that evening owen paterson told sky — he wouldn't hesitate do it again tomorrow." but he wouldn't get the chance. if that was wednesday, this was thursday. i fear last night's debate conflated the individual case with the general concern. this link needs to be broken.

and with that, the government had u—turned — and soon after, with his punishment looming, mr paterson resigned. but questions kept coming about why the conservatives had done it this way. why had they intervened when their colleague had broken the rules? my colleague adam fleming asked cabinet minister nadhim zahawy if he'd read the report on owen paterson's behaviour. i actually haven't read the report, so it would be unfair of me to go through... so, you voted on this without having... no, no, hold on a second, hold on a second. the minister hadn't gone into the details. he went on to explain what he meant. no, i said i hadn't gone into the detail of... much of it is contested. i think something like 14 people have said that it _ something like 14 people have said that it is _ something like 14 people have said that it is contested. the committee have judged on that and jacob reason i have judged on that and jacob reason i came _ have judged on that and jacob reason i came back— have judged on that and jacob reason i came back to the house and said we will have a _ i came back to the house and said we will have a vote on that this coming week _ it is true that there would have been a vote on the suspension. it's true that vote won't happen

now that mr paterson has resigned. but it's also true that that vote was only planned after the government's u—turn. and it's true that an mp contesting a finding isn't normally the prompt to throw out the whole system to give the mp another chance. and while owen paterson's parliamentary career was over — the story wasn't. on saturday morning, former conservative prime minister john major went on the attack. i think the way the government handled that was shameful and wrong and unworthy of this or indeed any government. also on saturday, minister george eustice contested mr major's conclusions — but offered this concession. i accept that the government has already— i accept that the government has already made this clear that with hindsight, it was a mistake to try to bring — hindsight, it was a mistake to try to bring that through with the timing — to bring that through with the timing that we dead. —— through at the timing that we did. this though wasn't enough for the the leader of the opposition who by sunday had drawn this conclusion. instead of upholding standards, he orders his mps to protect his mate and rip up the whole system. now, that is corrupt,

it is contemptible and it's not a one—off. now as we've been hearing the conservatives dispute this characterisation. and as part of our efforts to hear their thinking, here's my colleague victoria derbyshire tweeting that... we will talk to him back did agree. —— we'll talk to one who did agree. and that mp was richard graham. it was an emotional feeling that we owed it to him to pursue the there could be an appeal process. richard graham is making reference to owen paterson's wife taking her life last year. the prime minister also turned to this today. maybe they want to focus on, the opposition want to focus on a case of a particular mp who suffered a serious personal tragedy and who has now resigned. as you saw from those pictures, the prime minister isn't in parliament there. and as you can see from these pictures, he didn't attend the emergency debate in the house

of commons — due to long—standing engagement we're told. but he did seek to explain what happened last week. what we do need to do is look also at the process and that is what we were trying to do last week. that is what they were trying to do — but, at the risk of repeating myself, they were also trying to prevent owen paterson's immediate suspension. and when the prime minister was asked if he should apologise, this was the answer. i don't think there's much more to be said about that particular case. i really don't. no apology. and the prime minister has still declined to criticise owen paterson's lobbying — despite the standards committee and while the prime minister feels there's nothing more to say — mps evidently disagree. they gathered for an emergency debate on monday afternoon. it was called by the liberal democrats — and they began it. it is hard to be proud to be a member of parliament when as a body we are all tarnished with the government's brush. for the government's defence,

minister steve barclay spoke. i would like first and foremost to express my regret and that of my ministerial colleagues over the mistake made last week. and so we are left with a government that regrets its decisions last week. but has nothing to say on about owen paterson's conduct. remember he was found to have failed to declare his interest as a paid consultant to a food company in four emails to the food standards agency, he used his parliamentary office on 16 occasions for business meetings with his clients, and he sent two letters relating to his business interests on house of commons headed notepaper. in the words of the standards committee he brought the house of commons into "disrepute. the government has expressed no regret that one of its mps has done that. helen catt is in westminster. she has been watching in detail. first off, we did get that apology from the government, that was pretty early on in this debate. the government is still saying it is

fully committed to changing the standard system but wants to do it with other parties on board. from the opposition side, we had labour questioning brycejohnson's role in all of this, but he had led his troops do the sewers and the stench still lingered. quite a lot of too unfair, it was quite a calm debate, actually command the amount of passion that have run high in westminster over this. probably not least because the speaker basically told them they had to behave before the debate started. he talked about needing to show that this how... has at its best, because we'd certainly seen it at its worst. two things that were left unresolved, i think, which featured a light in this debate, firstly, what happens now about owen paterson. there are certainly a lot of mps who still want to have their say about the things that he was accused of. now, both the government and the speaker set at the beginning of the debate that this was not really a matter for parliament any more because he had resigned. quite a lot of mps disagree and say that actually buy what happened last week and passing

that motion last week has left a bit of a whole, as they put it, and that needs to be neatly tied up, and they still want to have some sort of motion that they can vote on that shows that they disapprove of what owen paterson was found to have done. the other thing is, how do you go forward with that reform of the standards process, the process from mps for policing themselves and what actually needs to be done. the government believes that they need to have some sort of further right of appeal built into it and it says it will work with the other parties to do that, the parties have said they will work with the government that they don't want to do anything that they don't want to do anything that they don't want to do anything that they see as weakening does existing system. labour and the s&p where very clear on that. they thought adding more appeals might actually do that. so there is a questionnaire about how that works going forward. and also, i think that the interesting thing to pick up that the interesting thing to pick up from this debate was the contribution from a couple of conservative mps. we know a lot of them are really cross about what happened last week. there wasn't a huge amount of data on display in the commons, but a couple of contributions from the former chief went, mark harper, who is quite

critical of brycejohnson, he said when the team captain gets it wrong, he should come and apologise command if you are talking about the consequences of what happened last week, then another contribution from a fairly new conservative mp, aaron balla, might get that ear of downing street. he said that he talked about having rebelled last week in and he said that when you do that you break the web as it is known and you feel churned up before hand and you feel left shellshocked afterwards, but then he added will be easier next time. . ~' ,. , . time. thank you very much, helen. appreciate — time. thank you very much, helen. appreciate the _ time. thank you very much, helen. appreciate the update. _ let's turn to afghanistan. the head of the un world food programme are winning that millions of people could be starting within weeks at the world does not step in to help. many of the problems predate that caliban's take a break that is affecting harvests and years of fighting, of course, adding to this problem. at the reduction in foreign

aid because of the taliban and's takeover is also playing a part. our world affairs editor has this report from central afghanistan. winter is coming, and it looks like a bad one. camels are on the move to warmer areas. we are heading west out of kabul through the taliban and roadblocks. it's not long before we reach the snow. in this district, food aid is being distributed, flour to make bread. everyone here know is that things are likely to get really bad in a few weeks, but the moment, there is no panic, though, make no mistake, these people are scared for themselves and their families. there is a real possibility we will be frozen this winter, this man tells me, these people are so poor, they cannot afford to buy food or fuel for heating. the event that caliban

seemed worried. they said we had to stop filming, and that disaster it means the taliban could be brought down. so they are cooperating with the intelligence agencies even if they don't like them. head of the world food programme visiting kabul doesn't mince his words. it is world food programme visiting kabul doesn't mince his words.— doesn't mince his words. it is as bad as he _ doesn't mince his words. it is as bad as he possibly _ doesn't mince his words. it is as bad as he possibly can _ doesn't mince his words. it is as bad as he possibly can imagine, | doesn't mince his words. it is as i bad as he possibly can imagine, if we were looking at the worst humanitarian crisis on earth, 95% of the people don't have enough food, and now we are looking at 23,000,000 people marching toward starvation out of that almost 9,000,000 knocking on the door. the winter months are coming, we are coming out of the drought. the next expense will be catastrophic. it will be hell on earth. brute will be catastrophic. it will be hell on earth.— will be catastrophic. it will be hell on earth. ~ , . ., hell on earth. we reach this area, and agricultural _ hell on earth. we reach this area, and agricultural sector _ hell on earth. we reach this area, and agricultural sector which - hell on earth. we reach this area, and agricultural sector which hasl and agricultural sector which has been hit by drought. like many other parts of afghanistan. and of course, there was an infamous taliban crime here. a couple hundred yards along the cliff from the place where the

"if it was absolutely necessary to keep everyone alive" she answers, but she would hate it. the two older girls dread the idea. at 16 and 15, they want to be at school, but the taliban forces them to stay at home. listening to all of this, it was hard not to think of your own family. that's our response which

the airlines commit to those involved in the tourism industry in the us as well. for many, the system much more personal. many families have not been able to be together because of these restrictions, which were bright and very close to the beginning of the pandemic by donald trump. those restrictions have elected for a number of countries around the world. people can travel to the states and see their loved ones. i will be back with you in a couple of minutes. hello there. quite mild, our weather, over the next few days, but at times fairly changeable. and we can see that through today, in fact, the best of the sunshine has been across the eastern half of the uk. further west, clouding over as we went through the day, the winds strengthened, the rain arrived, and actually, that rain is going to continue to be a nuisance across scotland and northern ireland through the night tonight. tied into this area of low pressure moving towards greenland, some heavy pulses of rain for a time, and with the south—westerly flow, that's then going to drive

in a milder air source across us. so, over the next few days, it's going to be mild for the time of year, both by day and by night. it does mean rather cloudy skies as well, though, so as we say goodbye to monday into tuesday, that weather front pushing into the southern scotland, across northern ireland, a lot of cloud around, look at these temperatures — out to the west, 14 celsius not out of the question first thing on tuesday morning. that's an incredibly mild start. it is a grey start for many. and as we go through the day, the cloud well stubbornly sit there throughout the afternoon. the best chance of seeing some breaks in the cloud is likely to be to the east of the pennines, down into east anglia and south east england. our dithering weather front still producing some outbreaks of rain through northern england, wales and eventually into the southwest. behind that, a breezy afternoon with scattered showers along north and west facing coasts of scotland and northern ireland. but look at these

temperatures, 10—16 celsius. at this time of year, average should be around 8—11 celsius. the front is still with us on wednesday. by then, across central and southern england, a band of cloud and light drizzle for most. we should start to see any mist and fog lifting and some brightness further north and west. those temperatures still pretty mild, 9—14 celsius the high. now, as we move out of wednesday towards the end of the week, it does look likely that high pressure will build for a time before the next low moves in, bringing yet more wet and windy weather. the position of this low is still subject to change on friday, but it does mean that, yes, there is still the risk of more rain to come on friday, but then at the start of the weekend, high pressure than it builds in, quiets things down, but it will be dry and sunny and a little bit cooler.

crossing with belarus. the polish government accused belarus of a propagation. it sent 12,000 troops as reinforcement. this is all in response to this group of migrants trying to break through a barbed wire fence. they use wire cutters and a guard reevaluated with pepper sprayed. many migrants who have come from the middle east and asia used polls and large tree trunks to force their way through. poland accuses belarus of pushing these people to the border to get across into the eu, which polin is a member of. here's the polish deputy foreign minister. translation: we demand clarification from the belarus inside. we are informing our allies from the eu and the north atlantic packed about all of these events because only a joint and uniform answer and stop the lukashenko regime. i think we should all stand together with border

the weather is pretty cold. poland is accusing belarus of trying to orchestrate an incident. the deputy foreign minister told polish radio"they are preparing polish radio "they are preparing a major provocation. "there will be an attempt at a mass border crossing," he added. next, there are these aerial pictures. on the polish side, you can see a build—up of border police and soldiers. while on the belarus side, hundreds of migrants were gathering. a recently erected razor wire fenced prevented the migrants from going any further. but we know what happened next. some migrants tried to cut through the fence. here's poland's deputy interior minister. translation: there are additional patrols of border guards, _ the border guard is maximally mobilised, there are big group of policemen, anti—terrorists were also sent today to the border, there are also 12,000 soldiers of the polish army. we estimate that these are sufficient forces to keep order on the polish side of the border. this hasn't come out of the blue. border tensions between poland and belarus have been escalating, amid a spike in illegal crossings. according to poland's border guard,

28,500 migrants have tried to cross since the beginning of august. over 17,000 in the past month alone. the eu blames the authoritarian belarusian president alexander lukashenko, accusing him of facilitating the influx in retaliation against western sanctions. the bloc accuses him of luring migrants to belarus — which isn't an eu member — and redirecting them into the eu through poland — which is an eu member. there's evidence of this. the guardian reports that an iraqi kurdish woman "was brought to belarus by a travel agency that would provide them flights to minsk and then a transfer to the eu's external border". well, this is concerning other eu members who share borders with belarus. latvia has called the situation "alarming". and here's the view from lithuania. translation: we are watching what's going on on the polish _ we are watching what's going on on

"the indifference and inhumane attitude of the polish authorities has prompted the refugees to take such a step of despair." translation: it is impossible not to note close cooperation in the field of defence as recent events have shown. the regional grouping of the troops is a

reliable shield for the entire post—soviet space. the president of russia and i do not hide our intentions. but many don't accept that. the nato defence alliance is accusing president lukashenko of using migrants as "a hybrid tactic" — meaning a combined military—political operation. also dismissive is the belarusian opposition. it's posted this footage on telegram showing men in fatigues and carrying weapons on the belarussian border, allegedly stopping migrants from turning back. parcels has called for new sanctions. adam easton is in warsaw. —— brussels. what options are available to poland to firm up its position? available to poland to firm up its osition? ~ .., available to poland to firm up its osition? ~ , . ., , position? well, we can see already, as ou've position? well, we can see already, as you've mentioned _ position? well, we can see already, as you've mentioned in _ position? well, we can see already, as you've mentioned in your- position? well, we can see already, as you've mentioned in your report, j as you've mentioned in your report, they're trying to beef up security.

16,000 border guards in the country, many now deployed on the particular border. the military have increased the number of soldiers deployed to the number of soldiers deployed to the border by one third in recent days now, more than 12,000 soldiers at the border, and there's also 2000 police officers. in fact, some of those service personnel are the only things that are stopping the migrants crossing into the country because, as you probably seen, the border ways razor wire fence has been destroyed and places by parts of the border where hundreds of migrants are now camped in tents because they have put tree trunks and flattened the border guard so the only thing stopping them is about five or six roles of polish soldiers. the other thing is they're

trying a diplomatic angle which is to try and reduce the pushback which is pushing these people, and there are efforts going on between poland and turkey to reduce the number of flanks into belarus. notjust to mince, but other towns, and today, iraq announced it has closed its belarussian continent throughout the country, which means migrants will not be able to get the belarussian visas. finally, the other thing they're hoping for is the weather. this situation where the temperatures are going to drop below freezing overnight and people are camping in tents there, hundreds of

people where your footage was shown. but the hope amongst some of the security agencies is that the increasingly cold weather, sub—zero temperatures and the prospect of snow will deter migrants from wanting to make this very difficult, perilous journey.— wanting to make this very difficult, perilous journey. perilous 'ourney. adam, i appreciate the perilous journey. adam, i appreciate the u date perilous journey. adam, i appreciate the update from _ perilous journey. adam, i appreciate the update from warsaw. _ the cop26 climate summit in glasgow has entered its second week, and on monday, the star attraction was former us president barack obama. he was scathing of what he called a 'dangerous lack of urgency�* we'll come back to the criticism in a moment. but first, mr obama, who lived in hawaii as a child, spoke about the existential threat facing islands. in many ways, our islands are the canary in the coal mine in this situation, that they are

sending a message now that, if we don't act and act boldly, it's going to be too late. one of the major threats is rising sea levels. driven by climate change, global sea levels rose by 16cm in the 20th century, and it's been rising more and more quickly in recent years. even with sharp cuts to carbon emissions, scientists predict that levels could rise another 50cm this century. but it's notjust rising sea levels which pose an existential threat to some islands. here's the head of the caribbean community climate change centre. if we fail to keep global temps below 1.5 degrees, the devastation will increase exponentially in the region. in many cases, you'll have climate refugees, people will have to relocate, the estimates are that if we arrive

at 1.5, we'll see a 70—90% decrease in our coral reefs. so, if we get to 1.5, we're relegating millions of our people to a very uncertain future due to the impacts of climate change. the island nations want urgent support. this is the foreign minister of tuvalu making a point. he recorded a speech for the climate summit while standing knee—deep in sea water. the message is clear. and another island on the front line of climate change is grenada in the caribbean. here's its climate and environment minister. |without the right support, we will| always be the victims in the story. but with the right support, i and we are far away from that, we can be a part of the global solution also. _

and this is all that we ask — to be given a chance — i not only to save our island nations, but to be that exemplar— of leadership and action to the rest of the world — the minister mentioned that island nations need the right support, and the role of more developed nations is something former president obama addressed. he scolded countries who made pledges in paris but failed to carry them out, and criticised the absence of certain world leaders. it ties in with the theme of the day at cop26, which is adaptation, loss and damage. i have to confess, it was particularly discouraging to see the leaders of two of the world's largest emitters, china and russia, decline to even attend the proceedings. and their national plans so far reflect what appears to be a dangerous lack of urgency and willingness to maintain the status quo on the part of those governments. and there's another contentious issue —

the amount of money that rich countries give to the developing world to cope with climate change. as long ago as 2009, the developed world agreed to provide $100 billion a year by 2020 to help poorer countries. as you can see from this graph, that goal�*s not been met — the latest prediction is 2023. here's mary robinson, former un special envoy on climate change. we haven't yet seen the important crisis mindset of some leaders. he mentioned russia and china, who have not sent their leaders, but the leaders came from australia, they came from saudi arabia, and they're not stepping up enough. covid brought very clearly the way in which the rich parts of the world could protect themselves during covid, and even moved to hundreds of billions of trillions of dollars to do that. so, that has brought out a stark inequality. there's clearly more that developed countries can do, and in his closing remarks, mr obama said that one of the keys to holding those countries

to account are young people. here's the former president again. so, to all the young people out there, as well as those of you who consider yourselves young at heart, i want you to stay angry. i want you to stay frustrated. but channel that angen to stay frustrated. but channel that anger. harness that frustration. o'neil leadon is a bahamian conservationist and climate activist. he's live with us from glasgow. i wonder if you're as angry as barack obama describes.— wonder if you're as angry as barack obama describes. thanks for having me, and obama describes. thanks for having me. and of— obama describes. thanks for having me, and of course. _ obama describes. thanks for having me, and of course. i'm _ obama describes. thanks for having me, and of course. i'm absolutely i me, and of course. i'm absolutely beside myself with fury at this point because this is an issue that affects me personally, affects my bottom line every day. a lot of people come into the states, and for

them, it's a matter of the future. for me, it's a matter of survival at this point. i can't tell you how many people i've met here, and they're telling me this future depends on me. i want them to know i am not the future, i am the now, i am the moment because we only have right now. it's at this point that i can tell you with absolute certainty that this is under 30 years, and they don't exist any more. i have photos on beaches with my sister, with my family, and if i go to those parts now,... the urgency is well worth the rage. i can't tell you enough the stories of my friends from the amazon, from other caribbean nations, brazil, ecuador, peru. it's very similar. friends from columbia. it's an issue that is

great because it's unifying bed it's also sad that all of us are having to devote our youth the issues that should be handled by world leaders in. . , . .. ., in. clearly there are macro decisions _ in. clearly there are macro decisions that _ in. clearly there are macro decisions that you - in. clearly there are macro decisions that you would i in. clearly there are macro l decisions that you would like developed countries to take in terms of emissions, but in terms of support and help that the bahamas needs right now from richer countries, what would that be? excellent question. what i would ask for in terms of the hamas, we need estimates. —— the bahamas. we share with the global countries. at this point, the bahamas cannot wait. if you don't know, the highest point in the bahamas above sea level is only 206 feet. so, i hope to understand the urgency behind many projects and much of the world. being here in

glasgow has been such a hub for young people to meet people that could impact the work that we want to do. this has been a huge resource for us, so it's like a nesting ground for ideas. i've met so many incredible mines here, and i'm absolutely optimistic that we have the capacity to change the world, we just need support, which is lacking in the bahamas.— just need support, which is lacking in the bahamas. o'neill, thank you ve much in the bahamas. o'neill, thank you very much for— in the bahamas. o'neill, thank you very much forjoining _ in the bahamas. o'neill, thank you very much forjoining us. _ inafew in a few minutes, we will talk about romania because the world health organization expert that's been there for the last few weeks will tell us what she's witnessed as a fourth wave of coronavirus takes its toll.

the new head of yorkshire county cricket club has apologised to former captain azeem rafiq after his experiences of racism at the club. our sports editor dan roan reports. headingley has witnessed some of the greatest revivals in english cricket history but leading yorkshire out of an unprecedented racism crisis could surpass them all. and having been installed as the club's new chairman, lord kamlesh patel today told a press conference that the county must learn lessons. i'm determined to make this club the beating heart of english cricket again. after 158 years we are ready to change, we are ready to accept a report found former player azeem rafiq was a victim of racial harassment and bullying at yorkshire, but the club took no action against anyone, sparking outrage. today, it settled a separate employment tribunal with the spinner with no gagging order imposed. yorkshire are setting up an independent whistle—blowing hotline for other victims of discrimination to come forward and, after criticism over a lack of transparency, have also released the report to those with a legal interest in it. have you had a chance to look

through the full report and if so, what did you think of what you found in it? what i have seen so far does make me feel uncomfortable that the process wasn't as well complete as it should have been. that's why it needs seismic change. today in a statement, azeem rafiq said... having become engulfed by a crisis that has rocked the cricketing world, yorkshire will be desperately hoping that this marks the first day on the road to recovery but with more damaging revelations set to come, regaining trust, along with sponsors and the right to host international matches here, will be no easy task. dan roan, bbc news, headingley.

we're here in the bbc news room. our lead story is after 20 months of pandemic restrictions, the us has opened its borders to vaccinated travellers. the who has said europe is "at the epicentre" of the pandemic. as we've discussed previously on outside source, one of the worst affected countries is romania. it's in eastern europe. it's got a population of 19 million people. but vaccination rates are among the lowest in europe. just 37% of people have had two coronavirus jabs. it's had record numbers of deaths from coronavirus during this latest wave. in the last week, just over 3,000 people died from covid—19. heather papowitz is a health expert with the world health organisation. she's been in romania for the past three weeks supporting the health system there improve its response to the pandemic. she describes what she's seen. the

the south—westerly flow, that's then going to drive in a milder air source across us. so, over the next few days, it's going to be mild for the time of year, both by day and by night. it does mean rather cloudy skies as well, though, so as we say goodbye to monday into tuesday, that weather front pushing into the southern scotland, across northern ireland, a lot of cloud around, look at these temperatures — out to the west, 14 celsius not out of the question first thing on tuesday morning. that's an incredibly mild start. it is a grey start for many. and as we go through the day, the cloud well stubbornly sit the cloud will stubbornly sit there throughout the afternoon. the best chance of seeing some breaks in the cloud is likely to be to the east of the pennines, down into east anglia and south east england. our dithering weather front still producing some outbreaks of rain through northern england, wales and eventually into the southwest. behind that, a breezy afternoon with scattered showers along north and west facing coasts of scotland and northern ireland. but look at these temperatures, 10—16 celsius.

at this time of year, average should be around 8—11 celsius. the front is still with us on wednesday. by then, across central and southern england, a band of cloud and light drizzle for most. we should start to see any mist and fog lifting and some brightness further north and west. those temperatures still pretty mild, 9—14 celsius the high. now, as we move out of wednesday towards the end of the week, it does look likely that high pressure will build for a time before the next low moves in, bringing yet more wet and windy weather. the position of this low is still subject to change on friday, but it does mean that, yes, there is still the risk of more rain to come on friday, but then at the start of the weekend, high but then, at the start of the weekend, high pressure than it builds in, quiets things down, but it pressure then builds in, quiets things down, but it will be dry and sunny and a little bit cooler.
