afternoon. turning wet through wales, and in northern ireland as well, quite windy, but away from that, a lot of dry and bright weather through the day until we see rain spread through the south—east, the midlands and east anglia. staying chilly. hello this is bbc news. the headlines: the first ever world cup to be held in the middle east kicks off later today. the hosts qatar will play ecuador this afternoon. the tournament has been showered by controversy and fifa's president, gianni infantino, has accused the west of "hypocrisy" in its criticism of qatar's human rights record — while officials in doha say, qatar is being singled out unfairly for criticism. delegates at the un climate conference in egypt agree a major deal on climate change. labour has said it will replace the house of lords with an elected chamber — if it wins the next general election. sir keir starmer said

the plan would help restore public trust in politics. now on bbc news: we are england: education, from conflict to classroom if it's becoming a problem for the university, then we can help. i've got an intimate connection with displacement and persecution, and when i see it happening, today, i can'tjust ignore it. sophia? how much? er... 750. litres or millilitres? millilitres. well done. she worked when she was in high school. i

i have two teachers. it is miss wilson and miss wilcott. there is a lot more than the classroom. it is the friendship groups and it's having dinner around round people's houses after school, which all help her to feel safe and happy and that she does belong. it is not easy having somebody coming to your class overnight, who you are not expecting, but it is an absolute pleasure to try to make feel... i'm getting emotional! to make herfeel happy here is my pleasure.

my name is salma i am 23 years old and i'm from afghanistan. i currently study at brunel university and my degree is biomedical sciences. i started in the uk as a refugee. i arrived into the uk when i was 16 years old. it was kind of, mixed feelings. i was nervous i entered into a new world where it was very different from afghanistan. the culture, the language, the people it was really difficult situation. but still i knew deep inside me that this is where i wanted to be, so i have to adjust myself into society. these images i am seeing is my childhood but i only try to keep the good memories with me. it's just that you miss the country where you used to live, where you were born.

in afghanistan you can't go outside, especially alone, as a woman. you need to have a male with you to go anywhere. even going to school. i know my family was allowing me to go to schools but not alone on my own, to work like i'm walking now. like today i came alone. schools was the first step for me like a baby step, getting into british life and society. i was really nervous. it'sjust the language was a huge barrierfor me, i couldn't communicate very well.

i am cutting these at three microns. there is a very sharp plate there. at cancer research we make the discoveries that will benefit cancer one day, hopefully. in this role, salma is in a really complex team that involves several groups. we give the patient the drugs and we collect samples and we monitor the response to the drug. if we move on to the microscope.— response to the drug. if we move on to the microscope. from a young age i have been — to the microscope. from a young age i have been keen _ to the microscope. from a young age i have been keen to _ to the microscope. from a young age i have been keen to learn _ to the microscope. from a young age i have been keen to learn more - to the microscope. from a young age | i have been keen to learn more about how our body works, and i wanted to study that into more depth, to understand who i am.

from many universities. i was getting rejection, rejection, rejection. i was brought up in an orthodox and the was a jewish family, and the rich was a very important to me. if you look at jewish it is basically a jewish history, it is basically a timeline of expulsion and persecution, and so i had really no choice but to commit my life to supporting refugees. dues have been using immersion as a ritualistic

practice for hundreds of years. there is a lot of difficulty in the world, and when one immerses, but once entire body underwater, they find the purity, renewal, which is really at the heart of being able to do this work, especially people who have experienced terrible things, and immersing myself helps renew my energy and focus my mind and my body on the task at hand. asylu m asylum seekers don't have the right to student finance, so we coordinate various scholarships which asylum seekers and people with different immigration status can apply for and

use to bypass the need for student finance. how's it going? i'm really pleased to see you. we have a large mentoring programme, which matches young refugees who need a bit of help with volunteers who are willing to give up their time to support them. yet mike katie took a deep breath. without someone to make mistakes in front of, refugees can turn in on themselves. she worked when she was _ turn in on themselves. she worked when she was in _ turn in on themselves. she worked when she was in high _ turn in on themselves. she worked when she was in high school, - turn in on themselves. she worked when she was in high school, and i when she was in high school, and wasn't able to concentrate on her studies.

i studied a—level but i couldn't finish i would like to finish here. i would like to get a degree for my future. i want to be a social worker. , , . ., ., worker. using punctuation consistently _ worker. using punctuation consistently throughout i worker. using punctuation i consistently throughout your worker. using punctuation - consistently throughout your story, english is your second languagejust like me. you have made good progress. i'm gratefulfor the opportunity to live in this country. how do i repay that? by making sure that refugees assimilate and i'm living on the fringes of the community. everything was ok before the war. i

woke up at five in the morning in kyiv, and my mum said to me, the war was starting. i couldn't say anything because i didn't understand. it wasn't a dream. of course it is hard to be a refugee because i didn't think that i will move abroad.

we'll be to look at a management style that fits in. there is a more traditional view that leadership is about command and control and decision making. english and ukrainian teenagers are different. here i think people are more talkative, more friendly. share more talkative, more friendly. are ou

devices, phones, laptops, tablets to refugees, it can be transformational. you want to contact your solicitor, you want to roll at university or college, you want to apply for a job, you want to have a skype call with your family. you can't do that without the device. i spent some of my time trying to convince individuals and businesses to give me their used technology. we then refurbish it as technology. we then refurbish it as tech heads and then we pass it on to someone who will make the most of it. ifi if i change my identity that means i am changing who i am. i do not want that. iam part

am changing who i am. i do not want that. i am part of the uk, but still deep inside me i am afghan. it doesn't mean i have forgotten my own religion or culture, but i am being part of something new which i am loving, definitely. we are of course here to celebrate you, all of our wonderful students, who consciously chose to give up the very little spare time you had, to take part in non—academic studies. the current situation in afghanistan really saddens me, and it is making

me feel more proud and happy to know that i am here today and getting this award and getting myself in these activities that i knew i wouldn't get the opportunity to in afghanistan. being a woman from that background it is such huge pride myself to know that i am here standing today. it is an amazing feeling!

i understand that i will be in england for a year, may be for a couple of years. yes, i feel good for that part as i understand i am free, but some people in the ukraine are not free, they struggled to be free. i can't help them. that's welcome. the nataliia. yes.

welcome to class.

i'm very happy because sofia goes to school in england. she is a strong girl. she is happy all day when she goes to school. mum, i don't eat, i goes to school. mum, i don't eat, i go to school! children are amazing and the teachers are very kind to sofia. so sweet school, like home.

hello. many had more rain through the night. that's still filtering into the river systems and we still have flood warnings in force. more details on that and the weather warnings on the website. since there are more showers to come today, even once the main rain clears away, it will linger in 0rkney. the showers could be quite heavy and we have more rain to come this week. this is the predicted rainfall over the next four or five days and you can see that most areas are going to see some rain, particularly southern and western areas initially. but by the end of the week, many parts could have another 30 to a0 millimetres of rainfall. as for the rest of the day, you've still got that rain just sitting across 0rkneyjust dragging its heels to clear aberdeenshire. heavy showers with hail and thunder behind and blustery winds as well, making it feel quite chilly. in fact, the air is chillier out and about today, cold enough for some snow

on the very tops of the mountains in northern parts of england and scotland as well. so nine to 11 in the south. so as i say some blustery showers around, though, which continue through this evening and initially overnight but then they fade away. and before dawn we get more rain pushing back into the south west to northern ireland as well, but ahead of that, a cold night. so we'll have some frost and some fog issues first thing for the morning commute on monday morning — the fog taking a wee while to clear away. and then we've got the rain and wind to contend with potentially in southern and western areas. yes, if this area of low pressure does develop, we could have some very lively winds and gales across southern and western areas nudging that rain northwards into the rest of england and wales across northern ireland. the question mark is how far north it will travel during the day on monday. but for many further south, another 20 to 30 millimetres of rain and not feeling particularly pleasant. still chilly in the north, even with the showers and cold enough for some snow over the hills.

and that's because we're tapping in to this cold air setting across scandinavia through the next couple of days. the weather front swinging north and coming into that colder air. and it will give a smattering of snow over the hills, mostly from showers in the north, perhaps a quieter day on tuesday in terms of bands of rain, it's more likely to be a showery day for most of us. still chilly, particularly in the north. but there are more weather fronts waiting in the wings towards the south west, which means that the outlook for the week ahead is still an unsettled one. temperatures do rise later in the week.
