starting to fracture now. we can send european diplomats over the capitals over the past week trying to shore up support for ukraine, insisting we need to stand strong with president zelensky and stick to our guns. meanwhile energy prices are going through the roof. we see it here at home, it's happening in europe too. food prices are rocketing. amidst the cost of freedom, the cost of our support in part is yet to be seen if voters and families will still think that's a price worth paying in six months�* time. our government is clear it is a price worth paying but clearly families will need help through this crisis if they are going to stand strong. crisis if they are going to stand stronu. ., ., strong. david, would the government ever make the _ strong. david, would the government ever make the case _ strong. david, would the government ever make the case to _ strong. david, would the government ever make the case to the _ strong. david, would the government ever make the case to the people - ever make the case to the people here, and i�*m asking a different question from europe, that sacrifices might have to be made in

surprise then ellen white was, the fact thatjill scott, in the most recent euros campaign when they won the trophy at wembley, she was very much a squad player, and you certainly got the impression that she probably wasn�*t going to play for england much at all going forwards post that tournament. i think it might�*ve taken a few people surprised that she�*s retiring completely, that she won�*t continue playing domestically in this country or abroad. playing domestically in this country orabroad. but playing domestically in this country or abroad. but when you look at the illustrious career that she�*s had, it�*s illustrious career that she�*s had, it's 16 illustrious career that she�*s had, it�*s 16 years playing internationally, and that�*s is internationally, and that�*s is internationally — she�*s been to ten major tournaments including two 0lympic major tournaments including two olympic games with great britain, she�*s won the women�*s super league title, she�*s one everything there is left to win, she has nothing left to prove. so plenty of highlights to look back on in a long trophy—laden career. captain fantastichll scott. captain fantasticjill scott. really aood ball, captain fantasticjill scott. really good ball. a _ captain fantasticjill scott. really good ball, a really— captain fantasticjill scott. really good ball, a really good - good ball, a really good opportunity, and a really good goal.

so, yes, we will see some rain, some of it heavy at times across west wales and then gradually pushing into north west england. a few isolated showers further north and west, but here it will be predominantly dry, breezy as we go through the day, but those temperatures once again sitting in the high teens, maybe low 20s. to the south and east of that weather front, our temperatures again on the high side, 25—30 degrees, and it will be very humid with it as well. now, as we move through wednesday evening, into the early hours of thursday morning, our weather front doesn�*t move very far very fast, and when it does so, it will weaken off considerably. so a band of cloud and a few patchy showers moving across the pennines, but to the south and east of that, there�*s a risk of some thundery downpours developing in the south—east. and with the temperatures staying on the high side, 17—18 degrees, some of those showers really could turn quite heavy and thundery. so during the early hours of thursday morning, we could see across essex, kent, suffolk and maybe north norfolk some sharp showers

drifting their way steadily eastwards. they will be fairly isolated and only on those eastern fringes, but any rain in these areas is certainly going to come as welcome news. cloudy skies following on behind, brighter skies behind, with a scattering of showers in the far north—west. noticeably fresher for all — 15—24 degrees the high as we move out of thursday. now, friday, into the start of the weekend, sees a weather front push into the far north—west and the wind direction changing. so it looks likely that the far north could stay cloudy with outbreaks of rain at times, potentially. elsewhere — and, yes, it�*s a bank holiday for northern ireland, england and wales — dry, settled but fresher.
