not quite, tulsen. thank you, though, but we have more sport in our business coverage. more sport in our business coverage-— more sport in our business coveraue. ~ ., ., ~ ., coverage. we will look at the sponsorship _ coverage. we will look at the sponsorship and _ coverage. we will look at the sponsorship and commercial| coverage. we will look at the - sponsorship and commercial side of that football tournament. let's go back to our top story now — we saw the reaction in the newspapers here in the uk — earlier in the programme, but how is the latest crisis being received by the public? our correspondent danny savage found out in the conservative seat of harrogate. after today's political events, you might fancy a drink. at this beer club in harrogate tonight, they were fully aware of what has happened. this is a town with a tory mp, where neighbour rishi sunak�*s do you think this damages the prime minister or do you think he will carry on? i think inevitably it will have a knock—on effect, but i think the prime minister, i personally think he has been doing a greatjob in the face of adversity with everything that has gone on. borisjohnson still has your support tonight as a voter?
5:24 am
absolutely. 100%. what do you think of borisjohnson, is he a man who enjoyed your support in the past and will he still do so going forward? i think what he's done has been great and he is a great personality and i would rather it was him than anyone else previously going through what we've been through, but i think as much as i like him, is he still fit, and i don't know whether or not he is. but other people think it is last orders for boris johnson. .. i think he should resign. he just lives in cuckoo land. he doesn't understand that the common working person that earns for a living just can't trust him any more. you can't use the pandemic, you can't use ukraine, you can't keep making excuses and using other political areas as an excuse for appalling bad behaviour. around the corner, in the little alehouse, again, everyone was fully engaged with what is going on in westminster. even if i include the miners�* strikes and the thatcher era,
5:25 am
i can't remember the country in a worse state than it is now. catastrophe, it's a disaster, and he's lurched from one to the other. his position is completely untenable but has been for months. but look at the man in the red jumper on the next table. he was having none of it. ifeel for boris, i really do. i think he's been incredibly unlucky. he's had some of the hardest things to ever have to deal with in terms of the covid situation and ukraine. so, is your glass half empty or half full? don't assume support for borisjohnson is evaporating. danny savage, bbc news, harrogate. a three—legged tortoise that was seized from a smuggler�*s as promised, a lot more on the crisis in downing street and currently who the new
5:26 am
chancellor is, nadhim zahawi. you can also find me on twitter. get in on the conversation. you can reach me on twitter — i'm @sallybundockbbc. we have some warmer weather to come for the uk in the days ahead, notably warmer for england and wales. it was a pretty chilly start to tuesday. it's going to be a much milder start to wednesday. we start as we mean to go on. we've sourced our air around an area of high pressure all the way from close to the azores. so through the night, we're actually going to be pulling in mild air all the while on a north—westerly breeze behind a warm weather front. and that weather front will bring some quite heavy rainfora time for scotland and then some quite persistent but lighter rain sets in across western scotland for the day on wednesday, perhapsjust fringing into northernmost england as well. northern ireland hopefully
5:27 am
brightening up as the day goes on. best of the sunshine will be across england and wales, but 20 degrees in aberdeen is up on the highs that we saw earlier in the week, and i think we'll see 2a, maybe 25 in the south—east of england. very high levels of pollen still across some parts of england and wales, with the cloud and rain at much lower levels for northern and western scotland. it looks like we'll continue with uninterrupted play for wednesday at wimbledon. here, again, temperatures up a little on those earlier in the week. thursday looks like it will offer up another fine day as well. lighter winds on thursday. it's going to be pretty windy wednesday across scotland. we'll have a little bit of a northerly breeze down the east coast. that takes the temperature down for norwich on thursday, but notice there, 25 in cardiff, 26 in london, that warmth building in the sunshine across england and wales. scotland and northern ireland always losing out to those higher temperatures thanks to thicker cloud. could be quite grey and gloomy around some of the coasts and across the hills. some rain for western scotland on friday. but still we're seeing some of that warmth just pushing up towards belfast, edinburgh and aberdeen, but the really high temperatures, the significantly above average
5:28 am
temperatures, are always likely to be further south across england and wales, even on into the weekend. we will see fronts continuing to push towards scotland and northern ireland, so the cloudier skies here, the slightly breezier weather story, some patchy rain, possibly, across western scotland, but temperatures still not too far off the mark, actually, for this time of year. the average is the low 20s. butjust take a look how they soar in response to the sunshine, the light winds across england and wales. i think on sunday, we could see somewhere in eastern england nudging close to 30 degrees.
