rain, a band of heavy rain pushing north—eastwards and behind it, look at all of these heavy, thundery showers, accompanied by squally and gusty winds and caused a bit of damage in one or two places. all of those elements feature into my�*s forecast as well. here comes another frontal system, we do it all over again, really. most places starting tomorrow on a fine note but rain pushing into northern ireland. the rain is on the move quite quickly, a short, sharp bursts of torrential rain for northern ireland, south—west scotland, squally and gusty wind with it, then pushing into wales and the south—west of england, widely gusts of up to 50 mph, some places in exposed coasts could see 70 mph gusts, and that very squally rain band continues eastwards into the afternoon. behind it, we are back to sunny spells and heavy, thundery showers and it will stay quite windy. temperatures, 9-13, stay quite windy. temperatures, 9—13, actually quite mild for the time of year. the rain pushes across

the remaining areas during tomorrow evening and then clears and more showers through the night but for friday, not as many showers, more dry weather, spells of sunshine. this is the chance to draw breath. still mild as well, 9—14. friday is not a bad —looking day because there will be a ridge of high pressure toppling across the uk but it does not last long. here comes another frontal system for saturday which will bring outbreaks of rain in the west which will suite eastwards through saturday night and into sunday. more rain at times through the weekend but it will feel mild. that is something. thanks, ben. and that's bbc news at ten on wednesday november 23rd. there's more analysis of the day's main stories on newsnight, which isjust getting under way on bbc two. victoria derbyshire in london and kirsty wark in edinburgh have been

to start getting some policies out of the door and a suggestion that lots of mp's will quite before the next general election. and politics continues to dominate world cup headlines — the telegraph has gone with the picture of tight—lipped germany players as they take a diversity stand. so let's begin. let's have a look at them male as a look at parking fines from driving companies. the financial times report in an alliance of legal and environmental groups. pressuring rishi sunak to drop plans for eu defined laws by the end of next year. the times has the story on blackmail by putin. the paper highlighting germany's pregame silent protest. the scottish daily

mail reported that today's referendum ruling it is the end of the ruhr road for nicola sturgeon. let us begin lucy the ruhr road for nicola sturgeon. let us begin luchoe thank you for joining us. we will start with the scottish daily mail. with that news in scotland the supreme court ruled that actually, no, there cannot be a referendum about the say—so of westminster. and the scottish daily mail is asking it at the end of the role for nicola sturgeon. that mail is asking it at the end of the role for nicola sturgeon.- role for nicola sturgeon. that is auoin to role for nicola sturgeon. that is going to be _ role for nicola sturgeon. that is going to be the _ role for nicola sturgeon. that is going to be the interesting - going to be the interesting dimension to this. even though commentators have speculated whether the supreme court could have come up with a slightly different ruling. the fact it was a unanimous decision that there wasn't a possibility of holding another referendum didn't actually come as this great surprise. and therefore what is the

future for nicola sturgeon going forward. going that she has and much of her career to that particular situation. i suppose when she starts to speak about democracy being under threat she is still calling out to those supporters who would like to see a second referendum. because there was one hope in 2014. some of her language starts to be quite interesting. because she's talking really about being trapped. talking about the kerr voice of nature of westminster. in my world when you're looking at relationships and talking about with the relationship. where there might be an element of coercive control. what you're talking about is one party feeling powerless and almost feeling like a victim. and i'm not entirely convinced that that would be the

message that nicola sturgeon would want to portray if she were seeking to still show her supporters that she is someone who can really deliver on something of this magnitude. i think the fact that the supreme court has ruled in this way. not only has a legal rudnick application but also an emotional one. but if you can really relate to the people of scotland. will they follow nicola sturgeon and her desire to have another referendum within mark i refer tojoe and i sure he will talk about what the polling will show for this. in terms of what people feel. do they feel oppressed? do they feel trapped? 0r oppressed? do they feel trapped? or is this a narrative that nicola sturgeon is conjuring up for her own advantage? sturgeon is con'uring up for her own advantaue? . , ,., sturgeon is con'uring up for her own advantaue? . , , , advantage? that is so 'ust send the -a er is advantage? that is so 'ust send the paper is h advantage? that is so 'ust send the paper is seen the _ advantage? that is so just send the paper is seen the illusion _ advantage? that is so just send the paper is seen the illusion that - paper is seen the illusion that she isjumping into her box of tricks.

sojoe deleted on to you. what is. when we know when it comes to the polling at the moment? it is not one majority that there is an overwhelminglyjersey. the polls are not showing that are they? that’s not showing that are they? that's ri . ht. the not showing that are they? that's right- the the — not showing that are they? that's right. the the scottish _ not showing that are they? that's right. the the scottish daily - not showing that are they? that's right. the the scottish daily mail| right. the the scottish daily mail has its _ right. the the scottish daily mail has its own position on this. the snp _ has its own position on this. the snp has — has its own position on this. the snp has its _ has its own position on this. the snp has its own position on this. but these — snp has its own position on this. but these scottish people have also been consistent. it's worth pointing out there _ been consistent. it's worth pointing out there hasn't been a massive amount— out there hasn't been a massive amount of— out there hasn't been a massive amount of polling on this. i fewer than _ amount of polling on this. i fewer than a _ amount of polling on this. i fewer than a third — amount of polling on this. i fewer than a third of scottish adults on the idea — than a third of scottish adults on the idea of a referendum. the majority— the idea of a referendum. the majority oppose the idea. when it comes_ majority oppose the idea. when it comes to — majority oppose the idea. when it comes to whether people think scotland — comes to whether people think scotland should be an independent country _ scotland should be an independent country are not. we have seen movement. the most recent poll did show_ movement. the most recent poll did show in _ movement. the most recent poll did show in favour of scotland becoming an independent country. but that was conducted _ an independent country. but that was conducted the day before liz truss design _

conducted the day before liz truss design resigned as prime minister. there _ design resigned as prime minister. there he _ design resigned as prime minister. there be hard to find unless popular moment— there be hard to find unless popular moment than that. as of last year the polls— moment than that. as of last year the polls have been close. but they have been— the polls have been close. but they have been in in favour of scotland remaining — have been in in favour of scotland remaining part of the uk. certainly the nationalists don't have the kind of lead _ the nationalists don't have the kind of lead in _ the nationalists don't have the kind of lead in the polls that they would want in _ of lead in the polls that they would want in orderto of lead in the polls that they would want in order to actually hold a referendum folk. so nicola sturgeon, seems _ referendum folk. so nicola sturgeon, seems to— referendum folk. so nicola sturgeon, seems to me is going through this hull seems to me is going through this huit event — seems to me is going through this hull event. this pantomime knowing that it _ hull event. this pantomime knowing that it probably isn't popular to hold a — that it probably isn't popular to hold a referendum. knowing she doesn't — hold a referendum. knowing she doesn't stand a good chance of winning — doesn't stand a good chance of winning that referendum. but also knowing _ winning that referendum. but also knowing that she probably wasn't going _ knowing that she probably wasn't going to — knowing that she probably wasn't going to get it from the supreme court _ going to get it from the supreme court either. so, instead this is about— court either. so, instead this is about demonstrating the schisms between — about demonstrating the schisms between westminster and doing that for political advantage. the between westminster and doing that for political advantage.— for political advantage. the ruling in the supreme _ for political advantage. the ruling in the supreme court _ for political advantage. the ruling in the supreme court wasn't - for political advantage. the ruling in the supreme court wasn't a - in the supreme court wasn't a huge surprise. but is this idea of a

referendum in the metro suggesting it is in the bin. is it? or does nicola sturgeon continue with making the next election i de facto referendum on having a referendum. that's really the only course of action that she has. if she is determined to maintain this as the biggest event. the biggest policy offering from her party. at that point you do have to wonder why she seems to be flogging this. if the polling suggests that there isn't any great support for it. nevertheless, if you have, put your colours to a particular way to stop then you don't want to defeated at any stage. so what she said is yes, the next time there is a general election and we see that it is by january 2025. but it could be in 2024. that she maintains that

therefore in effect it would be a defective vote on her policy to have another but that's not how general elections works. the electorate decides on what it wants to vote on. and like the rest of the united kingdom. most people are going to be overly preoccupied with the things like the cost crisis. whether they can actually access the gp. which relates to a story that came up over the weekend in regards to scottish nhs and how they were hoping to address the enormous backlog that exists there. and another story in the front pages today in terms of gp access. the electorate will decide what it wants a vote on. notjust because a leader says this election will be a de facto independence read referendum. she doesn't have many levers to pull. but that the same time she doesn't want to give up

without a fight. the question is. is she going to be up to take her party and the scottish electorate with her? it and the scottish electorate with her? ,., , and the scottish electorate with her? ,., , ., . . ., ., , her? it sounds, according to the eye that nick listed — her? it sounds, according to the eye that nick listed her— her? it sounds, according to the eye that nick listed her surgery - her? it sounds, according to the eye that nick listed her surgery is - her? it sounds, according to the eye that nick listed her surgery is the i that nick listed her surgery is the only unhappy one. they are picking up only unhappy one. they are picking up and will westminster that there are lots of unhappy tory mps. a line coming from this front page why don't you pick out a few that caught your eye? don't you pick out a few that caught our e e? , , . don't you pick out a few that caught oure e? , . ., ., your eye? this is a reflection of the conservatives _ your eye? this is a reflection of the conservatives are _ your eye? this is a reflection of the conservatives are doing - the conservatives are doing extremely badly in apollo. and they were doing worse when liz truss was in charge _ were doing worse when liz truss was in charge. and having had a message researchers with rishi sunak taking charge _ researchers with rishi sunak taking charge. the fact that there is no structure — charge. the fact that there is no structure de talks about the threat to mp5_ structure de talks about the threat to mp5 in— structure de talks about the threat to mps in the northeast of england for instance. the heart of this is the fact— for instance. the heart of this is the fact that conservatives have continued — the fact that conservatives have continued to fall behind labour in

hand in the western side of northern ireland first thing. most other areas starting day dry, but this rain is on the move eastwards. it's moving pretty quickly, so it will be a short, sharp burst of torrential rain and strong winds for northern ireland, southwest scotland — wind gusts widely 40—50 mph, maybe gusting up to 60—70 mph in exposed spots. the bright colours showing up there across wales, the southwest of england — a really squally band of rain, so as it pushes through, you'll notice the torrential rain, the very gusty winds, but then it clears to a mix of sunshine and heavy, perhaps thundery showers. highs of 9—13 degrees, northeast scotland, eastern england staying dry until after dark, but the rain will eventually work its way through. and overnight, into the start of friday, we will see further showers, particularly up towards the north and west, temperatures generally 5, 6, 7 degrees — wouldn't surprise me at all if some places gotjust a little lower than that. but friday should be a somewhat drier day

with some spells of sunshine. now, there will still be some showers around western coasts across northern ireland, northwest scotland. not many of those showers getting across into the east of the uk. temperatures 9 degrees for aberdeen, maybe 14 there in cardiff, so quite mild for the time of year. that quieter friday is thanks to this ridge of high pressure, but this frontal system pushing in from the west will bring rain on saturday. eastern areas starting off dry and bright, but we see increasing amounts of cloud, and for the western side of the uk, outbreaks of rain splashing quite erratically northwards, perhaps some heavy rain into the southwest later on. but it will be mild, 10—14 degrees, very mild on saturday night, and then that rain may take a wild to clear eastwards on sunday, but it will leave behind it some spells of sunshine. bye for now.
