good morning. the government is strengthening the law to force social media companies to take down illegal content without waiting for it to be reported by users. under the online safety bill, firms will have to remove a number of categories of illegal material — with several more now being added, including drugs and arms dealing, and forums that encourage suicide. sanchia berg reports.

the online world can seem like a lawless space. this bill, a first attempt to regulate it, is expected before parliament soon. tech companies had already been told they would face fines of up to 10% of turnover if they didn't take down child abuse material and terrorism content. now that will apply to drugs and arms dealing, encouraging suicide, fraud and revenge porn. the government says it will be able to bring the full weight of the law against people using the internet as against people using the internet as a weapon to ruin other people's lives. those who send threatening messages, like the racist abuse of england's footballers last year, will face prosecution, as well people at the companies themselves. the organisations will have to enable individuals who will be responsible within those organisations for complying with the legislation. if they continue to flout that legislation, those named

individuals will be responsible and could face up to five years imprisonment.— could face up to five years imprisonment. could face up to five years imrisonment. ., ,., ., , _, imprisonment. labour has welcomed the bill, but — imprisonment. labour has welcomed the bill, but warns _ imprisonment. labour has welcomed the bill, but warns it _ imprisonment. labour has welcomed the bill, but warns it may _ imprisonment. labour has welcomed the bill, but warns it may not - imprisonment. labour has welcomed the bill, but warns it may not be - the bill, but warns it may not be enough. the bill, but warns it may not be enou:h. ., ,., , the bill, but warns it may not be enou:h. ., , ., enough. the whole point here is that we are really — enough. the whole point here is that we are really going _ enough. the whole point here is that we are really going to _ enough. the whole point here is that we are really going to have - enough. the whole point here is that we are really going to have a - we are really going to have a regulator— we are really going to have a regulator in ofcom and the big tech companies, who are big international mammoths. — companies, who are big international mammoths, you really have a david and goliath — mammoths, you really have a david and goliath situation when it comes to being _ and goliath situation when it comes to being able to hold these companies to account. many say children need _ companies to account. many say children need specific— companies to account. many say | children need specific protection. what we need is a statutory code that protects children wherever they are online and we need privacy preserving age assurance, so we make preserving age assurance, so we make sure preserving age assurance, so we make sure that we know where the kids are and we treat them accordingly. lawyers to say this is one of the most important and most complicated pieces of legislation of the last 20 years. no surprise that it's been delayed before. they wonder whether the culture secretary will be able

to get it through as fast as she has promised. because balancing these new protections with freedom of speech can be extremely difficult. sanchia berg, bbc news. senior conservatives have insisted that the majority of their party's mps support the prime minister. it comes as another conservative politician called for borisjohnson to resign — former schools minister nick gibb is the latest to submit a letter of no confidence in the row over parties held at number 10 during lockdown. 0ur political correspondent helen catt is here. what has nick gibb said? this is nick gibb, _ what has nick gibb said? this is nick gibb, former— what has nick gibb said? this is nick gibb, former schools - what has nick gibb said? this is . nick gibb, former schools minister, said under david cameron, theresa may and then borisjohnson until he was sacked in the reshuffle last year. he has been writing in the daily telegraph this morning, there are a couple of significant things about this. first, he is not what you would call a westminster firebrand so i think his intervention is significant. the language he has used in this article is quite strong. he talked about it having been inaccurate to tell the house of commons that there was no

party. he raises questions of trust. he concludes with comic to restore it trust we must remove the prime minister. now we know a number of his colleagues are mulling if they agree with that analysis, too. plenty of conservative mps don't, like for example the former cabinet minister liam fox, who has pointed to the fact that so by the threshold of 5a letters to trigger a confidence vote, 15% of the tory mps, hasn't been reached. yes, you've got some unhappy mps, yet they've not even reach the 15%. in other words, 85% of my colleagues are still willing to give the prime minister the benefit of the doubt. the fact that we've lost some of these officials from downing street is actually an opportunity for a reset. borisjohnson has certainly been trying to reassure his mps over recent days that he is going to make the right changes for that sort of reset. 0ne the right changes for that sort of reset. one of the problems for him is that they seem to be popping up from different parts of the party, it is not one faction that is against india, and of course there

is that police investigation which will report back at some point. so still quite a lot of points of risk for the prime minister here. helen, thank yom — a greater manchester police officer has been charged with sexual assault. pcjames holt, who's 32, has been placed on restricted duties. he's due to appear in court next month. tomorrow is a landmark in british royal history — it will be the first time a monarch has reached 70 years on the british throne. the queen will spend the day privately at sandringham in norfolk — the place where her father king george vi died in 1952. his death at the age ofjust 56 came as a huge shock to the nation, his family and friends. 0ur royal correspondent sarah campbell went to meet lady glenconner — a childhood friend and maid of honour at the queen's coronation — about that momentous time seven decades ago. this is my drawing room, and there is a photograph i want to show you. lady glenconner�*s childhood memories include play dates with the future queen.

the royals were family friends and neighbours. princess elizabeth was a few years older. she's seen here with younger sister margaret, who's staring down enviously at lady anne's silver shoes. what would a typical day down at the beach with princess elizabeth, princess margaret and you and your sister... 7 we were ensconced with our nannies in the children's hut. and, you know, we all had our spades and buckets, but i was so lucky to have had that sort of a wonderful time. the 31st of january 1952. after waving his daughter off on a tour of the commonwealth, king george vi returned back to sandringham. about three days before he died, he was shooting with my father — they were shooting hare — and nobody expected the king to die. the king was part of the community, wasn't he? so although this was worldwide, global news, it would have been felt much more personal here in norfolk.

yes, i mean, the king was very special to everybody in norfolk because he... i think sandringham was one of his most favourite places to be. and i remember that my sister and my mother and i went to wolverston station and saw the king's coffin being put on the train. and it was so moving because the train went very, very slowly and there was so many people. most of us didn't have television sets in those days, but one or two people did. and i remember, they were like postage stamps, and we went to someone who had one to watch the queen coming back from africa. and it was so moving — her standing at the top of the stairs in her black coat. and suddenly, somebody, you know, we'd known — i'd known — since she was a child was queen. of course, the queen every year comes here — this is where she wants to remember him. absolutely. as the queen... i think it means a lot to her.

they all love her, they love... i mean, she's a country woman, too, the queen. i mean, she loves how she's got her horses up here. she loves taking her dogs for walks. so no doubt she'll take her corgis for a walk... on the day the king died. i mean, iwonder whether, 70 years on, the queen knows how much she means to every generation. yeah, i don't know — well, i long to tell her. i might tell her, actually, when i get to next see her! that was lady glenconner speaking to our royal correspondent sarah campbell. emergency workers in morocco are hopeful they'll soon reach a five—year—old who's spent days trapped in a well. the boy fell more than 30 metres into the shaft while his father was repairing it. rescuers are digging a parallel hole to reach the child. the first of the winter olympic medals has been won —

by norway in the women's15km skiathlon. britain's katie 0rmerod missed out on the snowboard slopestyle final but there was more success for team gb's curlers. 0ur sports correspondent andy swiss reports from beijing. we're under way. the first day of the games and the first gold up for grabs, in the gruelling sport of cross—country skiing. and as the rest faded, norway's theresejohaug defied the —20 conditions to seal her place in olympic history. and at last! but britain's hopes of an early lift—off didn't quite materialise. four years ago, katie 0rmerod was due to compete in pyeongchang before shattering her heel on the eve of the games. after a string of operations, she bounced back to become a global contender. but some costly errors meant she failed to qualify for tomorrow's slopestyle final. after all she's been through, though, at least she got down safely. all i wanted was to do my best today.

you know, this course is really challenging and i definitely put it down when i needed to today. even though i'm not in the finals, i landed, which is better than not landing! not to be, then, for katie 0rmerod. she still has a second snowboarding event to come here, but her hopes of bringing britain an early medal have ended in disappointment. there was better news, though, for britain's curlers, as bruce mouat and jen dodds secured another victory against the czech republic. after nearly throwing away a huge lead in their previous match, this time, no such problems. nicely done. oh, just enough. obviously quite a resilient team anyway, but that kind of proved it for us yesterday. so we just didn't want to let this one slip away. we really played welljust to see that one out. and after winning four of their first five matches, a place in the semifinals is now firmly in their sights. andy swiss, bbc news, beijing.

the six nations rugby tournament kick off this afternoon, with wales facing ireland in dublin, and england taking on scotland at murrayfield. the teams will be playing in front of packed stadiums once again after last year's tournament was affected by the covid lockdown. 0ur sports correspondentjoe wilson is pitchside at murrayfield. good to be with you. what could be the decisive factor here in edinburgh? could it be something as simple as the weather? it has been raining, it is raining and it will be raining. that beautiful green pitch behind me will be muddy and the ball in the hands of the inexperienced england team bound to be slippery. remember it is a scotland with the settled team, scotland with the settled team, scotland with the confidence which comes from these recent victories, but because of that it is scotland with new expectation rather than traditional hope and that is a shift in the dynamics. by the time we kick off here we will know if wales have begun the defence of the six nations

title with a win in dublin. 0n the face of it that seems unlikely, simply because they are missing so many players because of injury, but as the rehearsals get under way here the expectation of a full house, it is all about the occasion. do you rise to it or do you think? by this evening in edinburgh and in dublin, we will know. we evening in edinburgh and in dublin, we will know-— we will know. we certainly will, joe. thank _ we will know. we certainly will, joe. thank yon _ you can see more on all of today's stories on the bbc news channel. the next news on bbc one is at 3.40 — bye for now. mixed weather fortunes today on the south—east staying dry, and after a sunny start, the weather will turn a bit claudia but we have rain

affecting north—western areas with strong winds gusting to 55 miles an hourin strong winds gusting to 55 miles an hour in western scotland which will take the edge of the temperatures but it will actually be just about on the mild side for most of us, between eight or 10 degrees. turning colder this afternoon in scotland and certainly feeling chilly given the strength of those gusty westerly winds. 0vernight showers increasingly turn to snow in scotland and over the hills we could see significant accumulations of between ten or 15 centimetres but even lower down you might see some centimetres of snow as we head into sunday and all the while some wet and windy weather affecting england and windy weather affecting england and wales and that pulse our brain works east during sunday and the weather then brightens up with a mixture of sunshine and showers and most of the showers will be across north—western areas but still cold enough for snow away from western coast in scotland.

a this is bbc news — a these are the latest headlines in the uk and around the world. pressure continues to build on the borisjohnson as another former british minister, nick gibb, calls on him to resign as prime minister. but the former international trade secretary, liam fox, says mps should wait for the outcome of the met police investigation before making a judgment this is a time where we actually need to we actually need to give our full focus to the issues affecting the country and it is not a time for the conservative party to indulge in one of its bouts of navel—gazing. former us vice president, mike pence, says he had no right to overturn the result of the 2020 presidential election, and that donald trump

was wrong to claim otherwise. president trump is wrong. i had no right to overturn the election, the presidency belongs to the american people and the american people alone. emergency workers in morocco say they're hopeful of reaching a five—year—old boy who's spent four days trapped in a well. british ministers are strengthening a bill that will force social media companies to take down harmful content more quickly. and the queen reads cards from well wishers ahead of the 70th anniversary of her accession to the throne. hello and welcome if you're watching in the uk or around the world. a former uk government minister has

joined calls for borisjohnson to resign over the claims of downing street lockdown parties — and submitted a letter of no confidence. nick gibb — who was schools minister until last year — accused the prime minister of "flagra ntly disregarding the rules". mrjohnson has written to all of his mps, pledging to improve the way downing street operates. 0ur political correspondent damian grammaticas reports. borisjohnson left downing street for the weekend last night and escaped to the countryside, perhaps, but there's no escaping his difficulties. nick gibb, a former schools minister, the latest mp to submit a letter of no confidence. in today's telegraph, which once carried mrjohnson's columns, he says... adding... 0thers disagree.

of course there are problems. the prime minister himself has suggested that there are problems. he has apologised graciously for them. but i think there is a big mistake going on here. there's an assumption that he's the office manager of the number 10 downing street. he's not. he's not responsible either for paying the electricity bill or for making sure that all the social distancing rules are observed all the time 24/7, even when he's not there. yesterday, it was another tory mp, aaron bell, who submitted a letter. earlier in the week in parliament, he'd said he'd followed the lockdown rules at his grandmother's funeral. does the prime minister think i'm a fool? no, mrspeaker. mrjohnson has now written to all his mps trying to shore up support, saying the resignations of his top aides show he's making changes. but some of his mps think it's the beginning of the end for the prime minister. it certainly looks like that at the moment.

i think that you have to say that i know a number of colleagues who are very concerned. some will wait for the due process, some will be doing as i am doing, which is making our decisions over this weekend. but i think it's it looks very difficult for the prime ministerfrom here. and another who's lost confidence in him says cabinet ministers should tell the prime minister it's time to go. i think it's now's the time for the cabinet to show that leadership. i think the writing's been on the wall for the prime minister for quite some time in very large letters. i think the cabinet needs to spell it out, this can't continue. the longer this runs on, it's damaging further the credibility of the prime minister, it's damaging the government, it's damaging our country. as yet, though, there's no coordinated campaign to remove him. there are too few letters to trigger a leadership challenge, and borisjohnson still hopes he can reshape his team

and ride things out. david dramatics, bbc news, westminster. i think we're going to find out whether he can withstand it in the coming weeks. what is interesting about this issue head on the report there, at the moment, it does not feel like one coordinated push on one particular group within the conservative party. it seems like lots of individuals coming to this conclusion varying reasons and the sorts of things they are bearing in mind our some of them are street parties, the way the constituents have reacted to that. some by the way boris johnson has personally handled it. the jipe aboutjimmy savill has gone down particularly badly. some said he said he can fix it, do we think you can?

and some are saying the whole saga has gone on so long that is just starting to distract from the everyday business of government. we need to draw a line under it and this is the way of doing that. all sorts of other things. political calculations to be made. the timing for those who do want him out. actually you've got to call this at the right time to make sure that you win it. although sorts of things and then the emotional impact. it is big dealfor an mp to write and say, i have no confidence in my party leader. having said that, there are mps who are backing mrjohnson. the culture secretary is one of the men here is what she had to say. there are a number of mps, ex ministers who... and a small number of mps, many in safe seats, who are, the same names we keep hearing cropping up on some of those names have been trying to get david cameron out and theresa may out and now borisjohnson, the truth is, no prime minister will please any of those.

that can certainly be said of some of the names, yes, but if you look at who has come forward in the last 2a hours or so, the mp for newcastle backed borisjohnson in the leadership election in 2019 and made a point of saying that. nick gibb served under theresa may and david cameron as a minister so he is not necessarily the usual like, so the names coming forward might be of concern to downing street, and the fact that it does seem to be people from not any one particular faction in the party but right across at the moment. seeing how that develops in the weeks and we'll see whether that builds into that pressure that goes to a confidence vote. well, meanwhile, another former minister, liam fox, has been speaking at an event in the past few hours. he's told party members in the south west of england that being a conservative is not a vehicle for personal ambition — but comes with a built—in set of values and beliefs. he was asked whether he continues

to support borisjohnson. if i didn't support borisjohnson i would have already submitted a letter, and i have not. and i think what we need to do is get on the process of government. it is not as though we're short of big issues to deal with. we have the crisis in ukraine, we've got the global recovery from the pandemic, we have got inflation rearing its ugly head and we have seen a rise in interest rates. this is a time when we need to give our full focus to the issues affecting the country and it is not a time for the party to indulge in one of its bouts of navel—gazing. well, earlier i spoke to anne mcelvoy who's executive editor with the economist — and began by asking her whether borisjohnson is now a help or hindrance for the conservative party. party has always been, throughout this crisis, and whether the downside risk of getting video boris

johnson and what type of person they would get on what strategy they would get on what strategy they would get on what strategy they would get of keeping the compact of the red bull seat that borisjohnson won a couple of years ago, and the rest, a really fractious conservative party across the country together. i conservative party across the country together.— conservative party across the country together. i think what is ha enin: country together. i think what is happening now _ country together. i think what is happening now is _ country together. i think what is happening now is a _ country together. i think what is happening now is a combination j country together. i think what is i happening now is a combination of the fact that so many key aides are leaving. the resignation of the policy chief, at the end of the week, is particularly significant. and a drip drip drip of mps shows that the momentum is in the direction of considering him more of a hindrance than help. bud direction of considering him more of a hindrance than help.— a hindrance than help. and with these resignations, _ a hindrance than help. and with these resignations, i— a hindrance than help. and with these resignations, i suppose i a hindrance than help. and with these resignations, i suppose itj a hindrance than help. and with l these resignations, i suppose it is almost, at what stage do you we get to a point of no return? because, obviously, there are many of his defenders and supporters to say there are always rabble—rousers and he is mr teflon but are we getting close to is no coming back for him? if you look at the latest minister

to come out against him strongly allied with theresa may, the idea it was a rabble—rouser who a bit of a giggle in the tory benches, it is very serious. he is a rather dry man and he served under three prime ministers, so you are starting to see people who don't seek the limelight. they're not trying to get to the top of the news bulletin with what they do and he just says, this is hypocrisy around the parties and it's too much and trust has been destroyed. the answer to your question is, if you get 50 mps to get to a no—confidence vote then can find out, can't we? we are a long way from that, around 1a mps speaking out publicly but i do think once we get the optics of that, those pictures of those alleged parties and social gatherings are probably going to give this a second wind because, actually, seeing images as opposed to reading a few

words and saying the party happened on this in the state, particularly if the prime minister is there and is in the frame, it is going to be very difficult as well as the fact that sometimes he handles it pretty well. sometimes his lieutenantsjust seeming very uncomfortable and it is the fact that his allies are so uncomfortable that is now damaging him. that is now damaging him. donald trump's former vice president, mike pence, says he couldn't have overturned the result of the 2020 us presidential election, and that mr trump was wrong to think he could have done so. the former president, who has falsely claimed the election was stolen from him, recently insisted again that mr pence could have blocked certification of the results. 0ur north america correspondent, david willis reports. mike pence was renowned for his almost filial sense of loyalty to donald trump, never publicly

disagreeing with him and staunchly defending even the former president's most controversial actions. but there was one area in which the two men have not seen eye to eye. donald trump maintains the former vice president could have used his authority to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election as they were being presented to congress. and following renewed assertions to that effect from mr trump in recent days, mike pence has now decided to speak out. president trump said i had the right to overturn the election. but president trump is wrong. i had no right to overturn the election, the presidency belongs to the american people and the american people alone. the former vice president was one of a number of lawmakers who were rushed to safety after a mob of donald trump supporters

smash their way into the us capitol as the election results were being certified onjanuary the 6th last year. some in the crowd called for mike pence to be hanged. senior republicans continue to regard the insurrection as a peaceful rally. shortly before mike pence spoke, the party's governing body voted to censor to lawmakers looking into the events of that fateful day. liz cheney, the daughter of another former us vice president, dick cheney and adam kinsinger, both voted along with eight other republican lawmakers to impeach donald trump for inciting the insurrection. in a tweet, liz cheney said afterward she didn't recognise those in her own party, who she said had abandoned the constitution

in order to embrace donald trump. history will be their judge, she wrote. all this comes as mike pence appears to be laying the groundwork for a possible presidential run of his own in 202a. that could put him in direct competition with his former boss, who has also been teasing a comeback. much of the republican party remains loyal to donald trump and a former republican suggested that if he were to be re—elected, he would consider pardoning those who carried out the attack on the us capital. david willis, bbc news, los angeles. emergency workers in morocco are hopeful they'll soon reach a five—year—old boy who's spent four days trapped in a well. the child fell more than 30 metres into the shaft while his father was repairing it. the shaft is narrow — so rescuers are digging a parallel hole to reach the boy — as simonjones reports.

above him, the effort to save the five—year—old has continued round—the—clock. rescue workers say they will not stop until they get him out by worried locals it can only look on in hope. translation: we are praying for rayan to be alive. - may his family have patience and honestly, our hearts are breaking. i hope he will come out of this 0k. it is like one of our own children has fallen. we are praying for his safety. he is one of our children. this is the opening of the well rayan fell down. it is too narrow for the rescue was to get to him, so they have had to come up with a different plan. a large hole is being dug parallel to the well to try to reach the boy. there are only a few metres to go. but that brings with it its own dangers, the possibility of a landslide. the gathered crowd are desperate for progress and a happy outcome. rayan's father says he has not slept a wink. his mother says she is trying to remain positive.

this is a complex and delicate operation. oxygen and water has been sent down the well, a helicopter is on standby to get the boy to hospital. but rayan remains trapped while the most challenging part of the rescue is still ahead. simon jones, bbc news. from today, most adults in austria must be vaccinated against covid—19. the measure applies to everyone over 18 except pregnant women, people who've had covid in the past six months, and the medically exempt. the government is strengthening the law to force social media companies to take down illegal content without waiting for it to be reported by users. under the online safety bill, firms will have to remove a number of categories of illegal material — with several more now being added, including drugs and arms dealing, and forums that encourage suicide. sanchia berg reports the online world can seem

the comedianjimmy carr is facing criticism for a joke he made about europe's traveller communities being murdered during the holocaust. he made the joke in a comedy special released on netflix. travellers groups, mps and the �*holocaust memorial day trust�* are among those to express their disgust. joining me now is entertainment journalist, caroline frost. he isa he is a comedian known for using shock value, does the backlash suggest he went too far with this or is this just suggest he went too far with this or is thisjust parfor the suggest he went too far with this or is this just par for the course for him? i is this 'ust par for the course for him? ~' ., , him? i think the rule of thumb with comedians these _ him? i think the rule of thumb with comedians these days _ him? i think the rule of thumb with comedians these days is _ him? i think the rule of thumb with comedians these days is that - him? i think the rule of thumb with comedians these days is that the l comedians these days is that the more potentially offensive you know you're going to be, the funnier you have to be. a lot of people are saying today the problem with his jokeis saying today the problem with his joke is not necessarily the subject,

the topic is that it's not funny enough which is the worst thing you can say to any comedian but certainly, the rules are changing. we've seen all sorts of theatres of cultural war being waged, battles being waged in the last few years. just the last few months dave chappel came a cropper on hisjokes on trans— culture or netflix, interesting, the wild west of the entertainment world, it seems. certainly there is always going to be the cultural sensitivities part it is those will change as months and years go by. you it is those will change as months and years 90 int-— it is those will change as months and years go by. you mention the wild west, _ and years go by. you mention the wild west, how— and years go by. you mention the wild west, how does _ and years go by. you mention the wild west, how does the - and years go by. you mention the wild west, how does the rules - and years go by. you mention the - wild west, how does the rules around what goes on netflix, just remind us, how does that differ from what you might find on a non—streaming platform? you might find on a non-streaming latform? ~' �* �* you might find on a non-streaming latform? 4' �* �* ., platform? something like the bbc and eve other platform? something like the bbc and every other linear _ platform? something like the bbc and every other linear broadcast _ platform? something like the bbc and every other linear broadcast to - platform? something like the bbc and every other linear broadcast to have i every other linear broadcast to have firm rules and guidelines and they are legislated and enforced by ofcom in this country but i think the

problem, the challenges that nobody wants anybody to accidentally come across a programme or a show that will trigger them, that will offend them or in any way upset or distress them, particularly minority groups. for the platforms, streamers, the big budget streamers that can afford the rock likes of chappel, he is now added to their number, they put the onus on free speech and what they really mean is free easy lucrative money for them. but the idea is that we as subscribers had the agency was that we know what we are getting what we are paying for, we know it were clicking on the move is the responsibility much more over on to buyers. shock, horror. i don't think there used to this and that is why we have had such a huge reaction is that we could decide the levels of our frustrations and distress. that we could decide the levels of ourfrustrations and distress. we can decide to, well, i guess, not watch thejimmy carter show but can decide to, well, i guess, not watch the jimmy carter show but stay on netflix. we can suggest to send a tweet out into social media to tell body how upset we are which is what a lot of people have done today, or

in the years since, across decade after decade of change, from the years after the second world war to the present day, within britain and on the wider international stage, she's been a constant presence. a head of state who's earned wide respect. guided always by duty, but coupled with a sense of humility. she takes her role enormously seriously, she takes her duties seriously. she doesn't really take herself very seriously. she doesn't take... she laughs in private, as she has an absolutely superb sense of humour. so, humour, a lightness of touch. ten years ago for the diamond jubilee, there were appearances around the country. this time, it's likely to be rather different. the principal focus will be thejubilee weekend at the start ofjune. that will be the main opportunity for people to express their gratitude

mild for most of us, eight to 10 degrees. colder this afternoon in scotland and feeling chilly here given the strength of those custody westerly winds. 0vernight showers turn to snow in scotland. over the hills, we could see some significant accumulations, ten to 15 centimetres, but even lower down you might see a few centimetres of snow as we head into sunday. all the while, wet and windy weather affecting england and wales. the pulse of rain worked its way eastwards during sunday and sunday the weather brightens up with a mix of sunshine and showers are most of the showers across north—western areas are cold enough for some snow away from western coasts in scotland.
