scotland still with a covering of snow but because the milder air is coming over the cold ground, that's why it's quite foggy in areas of scotland. 11—14 or even 15, more cloud and rain through the rest of the day and windy for a while especially ran some of these irish sea coasts and hills. as the rain clears northern areas will have clearer skies and blustery showers will arrive in the north—west later. more rain to come across england and wales. that will move into eastern england, keeping temperatures up. rain clearing elsewhere and it will be chillier particularly in the north. more sunshine around tomorrow, still got that early rain across eastern england, it should move away smartly, sunny spells following with a few showers coming in, most in northern ireland and the north—west of scotland. it could be cold enough to some wintriness in mountains in the highlands. still a mild day. we've got blustery showers

coming into the north—west around the area of low pressure. those will continue into wednesday. more rain developing on that weather front across england and wales so more wet weather to start with on wednesday. it will move through and be followed by some sunshine but some showers and again mostly in the north. frequent and heavy in scotland and cold enough for wintriness over the hills. stilla cold enough for wintriness over the hills. still a mild day with temperatures 9—11. it will stay mild through the rest of the week and we get milder weather and a south—westerly wind, that usually brings cloud and rain in these areas of low pressure and weather fronts will bring some rain during thursday and into friday as well. as we head into the christmas weekend, mild with colder air to the north of the uk. so if there's any snow on christmas eve or christmas day it may be across northern scotland. temperature starting to drop a bit, still double figures with some showers in the south.- still double figures with some showers in the south. thank you, darren bett _

tweeted... there has been an outpouring of anger about those comments and indeed his own daughter has distanced herself thoroughly from what he had to say and as we say, the press standards body so far receiving 6000 complaints. more than 130 bus companies in england have agreed to offer single fares of no more than two pounds betweenjanuary and march next year. the government is funding the scheme as part of plans to help with the cost of living, as well as to encourage more people to use public transport.

the mayor for greater manchester andy burham explained the possible impact this policy could have. we already have it so this is something that greater manchester introduced in september, which we worked the government on, and is bringing us the benefits already. obviously it's helping people with a cost of living crisis, saving people money, but it's also bringing more passengers to public transport, which is also what we want to see in the city region. it's a good policy. i think finally there is an acknowledgement now at national level that the price of public transport outside of london is too high. what i would say to the government is make this policy a permanent policy rather than a three—month one. how does it work economically

robust companies? can they afford it to make it a longer term plan? obviously this is being done with government help and i would say that's exactly what should be done on a long—term basis because pretty much every country in the world provides subsidy for buses to make sure that they are affordable to people and if you look around the world, actually, people are bringing down the cost of public transport. in germany, they have introduced a a9 euros rail pass for a month where people can have unlimited regional rail travel and i think this reflects the fact that we need more people to use public transport from a climate perspective but also it helps from an economic perspective as well and getting people back to work. it's a policy that makes sense on every level and i would just like to see the government commit to doing it permanently. do you think more people will use buses because of this? how much of a deterrent are but prices at the moment? the evidence from greater manchester is absolutely they will. we have seen a big jump in the number of people

using the buses since september and it is continuing to increase and bear in mind that here if you go back to when the time was before the cap was introduced, bus fares here could cost over £a. it is a big reduction. if you have a situation where it is cheaper for two or three people to get a taxi than it is to get a buzz, —— to get a bus... then you have a big problem and i think the thing about this cap is eight alters that balance again in favour of the bus and makes it cheaper for people to catch a bus than to get in a car and drive a taxi. and that's why it's so important and successful. are you seeing a reduction in the number of cars on the roads then? i wish i could say we were, but no, anything that is linked —— andi —— and i think that to the crisis in the chaos on the railways. people here are sadly have lost trust in the trains and consequently

are using their cars forjourneys that they would otherwise be taken by train and that has certainly been our experience over the last couple of months. beneficial effects on the buses, less on the trains and obviously what we want going into 2023 is to fix all of next year, this part of the country will be the first to buses back under public control after 36 years of deregulation and that is what has led to fares rising all over england. we are going to introduce a london style cap next year, bringing tram and bus together and for me, that's the way to get people out of their cars, make public transport much more affordable, much more convenient and greater manchester will hopefully be showing the way next year. list talk more about the strike action. rishi sunak says the door is always open to work through the issues leading to the strikes. and it's

sunak speaking there in riga. like many european countries, the netherlands has a history which involved both colonialism and slavery. more than 600,000 people — mostly from africa and asia — were trafficked by dutch merchants between the 17th and 19th centuries. the dutch prime minister will publicly apologise for what happened, but some campaigners say that merely confronting the events of the past is an insufficient gesture for the descendants of slaves living in the netherlands today. anna holligan reports. generations have been waiting to hear this word, but the dutch government's approach to saying sorry for slavery has reignited a sense of exclusion and distrust. the question you have to talk about, slavery, with people from the destination and people here, and we don't accept 19 december. instead, many within the affected communities want an apology scheduled for one july next year, to tie in with what will be the 160th anniversary

of the dutch emancipation act. within dutch society, support for a formal apology has been growing, with 38% of people now in favour. but almost half the population is still opposed. 0ne far—right leader told me his party doesn't believe in such gestures. quincy gario argues it's essential to come together to understand the realities and impact of the past. even the cheesemonger on the street corner was getting paid with funds from colonial winnings. so everyone in our infrastructure and the way of living and our comfort here is directly linked to that abuse and extraction elsewhere. how exactly do you heal and how do you repair the — not just the psychic terror of the past, but also the material inequalities that have come from that? words are fine, but what are actions?

well, according to various leaks, the dutch government's apology for slavery won't result in immediate or individual reparations for the descendants of the enslaved people. instead, 200 million euros will be invested in awareness—raising projects and another 27 million dedicated to a new museum designed to highlight and explore this darker side of dutch history. it's been a busy time for linda nooitmeer. she has been involved in the negotiations with the government. slavery is a crime against humanity, and we acknowledge that people - of african descent didn't get the chance to evolve - themselves as they should. and from 20 december we can work together to fight against everything | that is about racism, _ and it gives me hope that we can do this in this country. formal apologies don't always lead

to acceptance or acknowledgement, and in this already polarised society, there are fears of a backlash from those who wish to whitewash and glorify this history. with other countries currently considering their colonial pasts, an official apology from the dutch may encourage other nations to recognise and make efforts to remedy historic and contemporary inequalities in a meaningful way. anna holligan, bbc news, amsterdam. let's ta ke let's take a look at some of the stories making headlines in our newsrooms across the uk. an inquest has heard that four boys who fell into an icy lake in solihull last week died from

drowning. brothers finlay who was eight and six—year—old samuel, their 11—year—old cousin thomas stewart and another boy, jackjohnson, who was ten, fell into a lake last sunday. bob hockenhull was in court. today's inquest heard that all four boys died from drowning so no postmortem examinations have been carried out to preserve their dignity. the hearing was told it was 3a minutes passed 2pm on sunday the 11th of december when emergency services received the first call reporting that four children playing on the frozen lake had fallen into the water. there were further calls from the public with varying accounts of how many children had fallen in. three of the boys pulled out of the lake onto the bank 22 minutes out of that first emergency call. the fourth boy was brought out of the water nine minutes later. detective inspectorjim edmonds told

the inquest there were heroic efforts by the emergency services tourists as or resuscitate the boys at the scene. they all died in hospital. the tragedy is now the subject of a major lease investigation. its findings will be reported in the full inquest which is to take place onjuly the 6th next year. birmingham and solihull coroner louise hunt offered her sincere condolences to the families. she said it was a devastating tragedy and difficult to comprehend the pain and grief they were feeling. ajourney the pain and grief they were feeling. a journey to the's hearing she said that she hoped an extra's full inquest would help them to fully understand what happened. a52a man a 52 a man has appeared before magistrates charged with murdering a nurse and her two young children in kettering. he was remanded in custody. 0ur reporter was at the

and will take a look at the weather prospects. and they come from darren. the really cold weather has come to an end for many parts of the country and temperatures are 12 degrees warmer today than yesterday but with the mild weather we have seen rain and there are flood warnings in southern england and more rain to come and we saw snow melting of course understood has been a covering of snow across some parts of scotland, especially in the hills, but with a milder weather over the snow—covered ground it has been foggy. temperatures 255 oh figures into the evening across many parts of scotland and further south will be mild. still windy and a strong south and south westerly winds and may be gusting gale force in the irish sea coast and hills. those wins will tend to ease overnight and we will see clear spells developing a cross does northern half of the uk before showers arrive in the north—west. england and wales will have another speu england and wales will have another spell of rain and it could be heavy for a while and it will push its way to eastern parts of england keeping

temperatures of double figures. further north with clear skies it will be cold with temperatures of three or a degrees. sunshine on the way for many of us tomorrow and we have the early rain across eastern england and it should clear away smartly and then we will see a few showers and most of those across northern ireland and the north—west of scotland where they could be heavy and potentially wintry over the highlands as well. still a mile of the day with temperatures in a degrees in glasgow but not as mild as today and 13 across south—east england and across east anglia. blustery showers in the north—west will continue overnight around that area of low pressure and further south across england and wales with more rain developing and this will stagger its way eastwards and again it will be followed by sunshine and showers will continue further north and the bulk of those will be across the north—west of scotland, frequent and heavy and it'sjust the north—west of scotland, frequent and heavy and it's just cold the north—west of scotland, frequent and heavy and it'sjust cold enough for wintry weather over the mountain tops. still temperatures a 9—11 on wednesday so still mild. mild weather at this time of the year tends to be brought about south—westerly winds and of

south—westerly winds and of south—westerly winds and of south—westerly winds contain a lot of moisture with cloud in these weather fronts will bring spells of rain. around areas of low pressure which will strengthen the winds as well. we keep milder weather as we head towards christmas but there is talk of colder air across northern parts of scotland so there is the potential for snow in northern scotland on christmas eve and also on christmas day but further south it still mild and just as temperatures dropping away a little bit but still in double figures.
