10:31 pm
over scotland, we've had that for a few days. some snow and even hail showers on the north sea coasts. when showers occur we might have icy patches. these are the early morning temperatures in city centres meaning that in rural spots it will be quite a bit colder. over the next few suite think the lowest it will get will be around —10. last night it was —8.9 in cumbria. tomorrow, a lot of sunshine but in the south—east it maybe a bit cloudy before the sun develops. briefly temperatures reaching around four, 5 degrees but in the course of the evening temperatures again quickly dropping meaning that on friday night into saturday, city centre temperatures are well below freezing. —3, “4 easily. through the weekend we will

see subtle changes in the wind direction and strength. the wind will die down so we will see some freezing fog and the wind maybe coming back, circulating so we may seek snow showers in places that haven't had snow so far. the overall pattern is for the cold weather to persist. it isn't extreme by day, it is only the nights that are cold. snow showers can strike at any time. we'll take note, thank you. that's the bbc news. coming up on newsnight and there is katie preparing to go on—air. on bbc one, also preparing, our colleagues in the nations and regions with the news where you are. from all of us, thanks for watching.

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me arejenny kleeman, journalist and broadcaster and pandora forsyth of the daily express�* royal round up. we will hear from them and just a moment, but we will take a look at the front pages. the i says new legistation to force some industries to provide minimum levels of service during strike action, could end up making strikes worse. that's according to an impact assessment by the department for transport. the independent leads with strep a. 15 children have died from the bacterial disease in the uk. prince harry and meghan�*s new documentary series is on the front page of the metro, with comments from harry suggesting some members of the royalfamily
10:34 pm
don't marry for love. the documentary also leads the daily express, which says the royal family are "deeply upset" by some of the comments made in the series. the show has created a clash between netflix and buckingham palace, according to the times, which says the palace has hit back at claims made in the documentary that members of the royal family declined to take part. the guardian says iranian security forces are targeting female demonstrators taking part in the anti—government protests across the country. and, the yorkshire post features george "johnny" johnson, the last surviving original member of raf 617 squadron�*s "dambusters" raid of 1943, who has died aged 101. let's begin and start going through some of those stories. we will start with the guardian, the suspended

sentence for the us citizen, and sickle list, in connection with the death of harry down. start us off at the sun. the family have had a long wait and they feel now that justice has been done. it wait and they feel now that “ustice has been donefi wait and they feel now that “ustice has been done. . , . ., . ., has been done. it was a movie and to see harry dunn's _ has been done. it was a movie and to see harry dunn's mother— has been done. it was a movie and to see harry dunn's mother outside - see harry dunn's mother outside the courthouse today, she has kept her promise to harry because justice has been done, and she has a criminal record. she couldn't evade justice. and they find a really remarkable campaign, buti and they find a really remarkable campaign, but i can't help but feel that there are still so many questions and so much more could have been done to bring anne sacoolas to justice. the judge have been done to bring anne sacoolas tojustice. thejudge had previously asked anne sacoolas to come back to the uk for sentencing, had said that would be a real indication of remorse. she didn't do that. her employertold indication of remorse. she didn't do that. her employer told her that she shouldn't come back to the uk. the us government said her return in
10:36 pm
person and put significant us interests at risk, and what is now emerging and what comes during this coverage from the guardian is that anne sacoolas herself allegedly has links with the cia, in the past, she was always portrayed as somebody who is married to someone who worked for the cia, and that is where she was in britain. but it seems she herself was doing this kind of work a very secret where, we don't really know what she was doing. and i think harry dunn's family still has questions about what the british government was told about what she was doing here and the circumstances of her departure. but it is still wonderful to see at least some relief on the face of harry dunn's family, who have fought such a tough campaign for three years. i family, who have fought such a tough campaign for three years.— campaign for three years. i don't know if it was _ campaign for three years. i don't know if it was actually _ campaign for three years. i don't know if it was actually firmly - know if it was actually firmly established that she is working for the cia. i'm seeing an article say she is an alleged former cia officer, just know that one of my colleagues in his report said that she worked for a sensitive part of the us government, which could well

10:40 pm
increased wage, necessarily, but you could give workers and certain sectors a one off payment to help them to the cost of living crisis whilst inflation is so high, but something has to give, and it is not stricter laws that are going to get us where we need to go. pandora, this is very — us where we need to go. pandora, this is very evident _ us where we need to go. pandora, this is very evident in _ us where we need to go. pandora, this is very evident in people's - this is very evident in people's lives at the moment. people who are grappling with travel plans being up in the air, whether things will arrive, gifts, perhaps, but then you got the cost of living crisis that those workers are facing. completely. and this is all part of the fact— completely. and this is all part of the fact that that's come after the pandemic — the fact that that's come after the pandemic. this is bound to happen at some _ pandemic. this is bound to happen at some point — pandemic. this is bound to happen at some point. he put the inflation up some point. he put the inflation up so much _ some point. he put the inflation up so much and wages don't go up to inflatiom — so much and wages don't go up to inflation. there is obviously going to he _ inflation. there is obviously going to be pushed back, but now we are really _ to be pushed back, but now we are really feeling it because it is going — really feeling it because it is going on— really feeling it because it is going on vital services in this country. _ going on vital services in this country, such as the nhs, whichjust so happens — country, such as the nhs, whichjust so happens to be at that time where

10:42 pm
the desk not entirely clear if it is the definite cause cannot but it has been linked. still, relatively low number, but there is this call for the government to give clear advice to parents about how and when they should seek help if they are worried about their child.— about their child. yes, obviously, we need to _ about their child. yes, obviously, we need to come _ about their child. yes, obviously, we need to come as _ about their child. yes, obviously, we need to come as you - about their child. yes, obviously, we need to come as you have - about their child. yes, obviously, | we need to come as you have just sat, made — we need to come as you have just sat, made quite clear, this is obvious— sat, made quite clear, this is obvious out of the whole population, but this— obvious out of the whole population, but this is— obvious out of the whole population, but this is something that we need to he _ but this is something that we need to he very. — but this is something that we need to be very, very clear with on guidance _ to be very, very clear with on guidance and advice, and what i said in the previous front page, with nhs quite literally, you know, bursting at the _ quite literally, you know, bursting at the seams at the moment, it is really— at the seams at the moment, it is really important for parents to be aware _ really important for parents to be aware of — really important for parents to be aware of what is happening right now for the _ aware of what is happening right now for the government to make really, really— for the government to make really, really clear — for the government to make really, really clear advice on this so that, you know. — really clear advice on this so that, you know, more children tragically don't _ you know, more children tragically don't lose — you know, more children tragically don't lose their lives. the pressure
10:43 pm
that i don't lose their lives. the pressure that i think — don't lose their lives. the pressure that i think is — don't lose their lives. the pressure that i think is a _ don't lose their lives. the pressure that i think is a concern _ don't lose their lives. the pressure that i think is a concern is - don't lose their lives. the pressure that i think is a concern is on - don't lose their lives. the pressure that i think is a concern is on the i that i think is a concern is on the gp surgery, so already dealing with a lot of coming you know, a lot of demand from patients, and it's not a zero—sum game. you don't want to deter apparent from seeking help for their child if that child is seriously unwell, but at the same time, if the surgeries are overwhelmed over things that are not as serious, that could potentially prevent someone who is seriously ill from seeing their doctor. it’s a from seeing their doctor. it's a difficult balance _ from seeing their doctor. it's a difficult balance to _ from seeing their doctor. it's a difficult balance to strike. - from seeing their doctor. it's a difficult balance to strike. i - from seeing their doctor. it's a l difficult balance to strike. i don't think people, i don't know, i get the feeling that people don't necessarily travel their doctors any more with things that aren't that serious because it is so difficult to get through to your gp. there's also the question of antibiotics, whether or not there is enough antibiotics in the country on standby. some pharmacies say, i think at this number, 15 children is a tragedy in 2017, 2018, 27 children
10:44 pm
died with strap a, and i think the concern at the moment is the timing of all of this is quite early in the season, i know that in my primary school —— son's from a school class, two that had scarlet fever, we have all been advised to look at, which i didn't know until recently. awareness is important, but it is important to put it into context. there is a section on the bbc news websites the lead story on the health pages at the moment, i died there about different signs and symptoms you should look out for. there he end of the article, but you may find that helpful if they is a checklist there. that's on the bbc news website. now, the story that many people are talking about, your speciality, this one, the netflix
10:45 pm
