as well as the potential upside. i think congress has been listening very hard, they've had the leaders of some of those industries upon the hill giving evidence. the administration is trying to feel its way towards some sort of strategy and policy on this. they may welcome this discussion. they will not want to be pushed into anything by the british but that wouldn't happen anyway. we will see if there's anything concrete to say. this summit rishi sunak is promising in the autumn, i'm sure the americans want to be present at that, rishi sunak been touting the fact that one of the big ai companies has opened its european headquarters in the uk because he says we have the expertise in the uk as well as the us to to lead this conversation. it's clearly something he wants to make a centrepiece of this visit. i

weather. hello. some weather changes are now starting to take place. today really has been more of the same, more of the weather we've become used to. early low cloud burning back towards the east coast and then some warm sunshine. but, down to the south west of us, you can see this lumpy cloud, some showers and some thunderstorms looming. and just ahead of that over the next few days, a feed of much warmer and much more humid air. i think you really will notice the difference. now, this weather is not going to be extreme or certainly unprecedented for the time of year, but it will feel very different, much warmer, much more humid by day and by night, with the chance of some thunderstorms. but it's back to the here and now. apart from the low cloud along the east coast, most of us will continue to see some sunshine, just one or two showers creeping across the isles of scilly. highest temperatures in the west up to around 24 or 25 degrees. tonight, we will see some showersjust creeping towards the south west of england. and here, an increasingly warm and humid feel, a sign of things to come.

the overnight low in plymouth, around 13 degrees, still quite a lot cooler further north and east with some of this low cloud rolling into eastern and central parts of scotland and england, then tending to retreat towards the coast tomorrow to give some spells of sunshine. but there is still the chance of one or two showers down towards the south west, maybe in northern ireland later as well. and temperatures will be climbing. we could see highs of 22, 23 degrees in northwest scotland, but 22 to 27 for wales and for central and southern parts of england. into the weekend this area of low pressure churning to the southwest of us will throw this weather front northwards and that will bring some hit and miss thunderstorms. there will be places that stay completely dry. there will be others that get a real deluge with hail and gusty winds likely to develop. and just ahead of that band of showers and thunderstorms, an increasingly warm and humid feel. temperatures could get to 29, possibly 30 degrees. and saturday night will be a very

warm and humid one indeed. into sunday, those showers and thunderstorms perhaps becoming a little more widespread, spreading north and east, but there will still be places that avoid them and stay dry with patchy cloud and spells of sunshine. still pretty warm for many of us, maybe just a little bit cooler out towards the west.
