been mostly ministry of defence decided to abandon their customary neither confirm nor deny policy with regards to the involvement of the uk special forces in these controversial rates which are not being examined by this public inquiry. so, that is significant in the public inquiry goes on and we can now report publicly the uk special forces were in afghanistan and were taking part in these rates. what happens next in this inquiry? as you said, these hearings will continue in tomorrow between the ministry of defence for media organisations including the bbc in the brief families of the lawyers for the brief families save the ministry of defence is still asking for very far—reaching and unreasonable restrictions in this inquiry. for example, asking that all witness testimony be held anonymously and in and closed hearings, thejudgment from anonymously and in and closed hearings, the judgment from the chair exactly what evidence in this

inquiry is quickly held up and be able to be held openly and with underlying accusations of the heart of this? the underlying accusations that we've been working on the reporting on for the past few years are about these controversial night raids that special forces undertook in the accusations on the screen so they killed unarmed people and sometimes, killing them after they'd even detained them and then covering up even detained them and then covering up the fact that the children on people and civilians and so, there accusations that the inquiry is going to look to get to the heart of it the end of october. how much we can be opened and how much it can be closed, the proper inquiry takes off in october and noted often to the real details of these very serious accusations against british special forces about unlawful killings. lise

hello. wednesday on the whole has been a quieter day with some sunny spells. there have been a few scattered showers. so from time to time looking up in the sky, some threatening looking shower clouds, as you can see from this weather watcher picture sent in from luce in kent. but tuesday's heavy, persistent, rain moved off into the near continent. today has been a quieter story, as you can see from that satellite picture. a few scattered showers which will gradually fade through the night. we'll have some clearing skies and temperatures falling away. so it'll be a comfortable night for getting a good night's sleep. 8—11 degrees to greet us first thing on thursday morning. on the whole, thursday will continue to be dry, settled, and sunny for most. but we have got this area of low

pressure pushing in from the west. winds will strengthen ahead of it, gusts perhaps in excess of 40 miles an hour. and there will be some wetter weather moving towards northern ireland, and gradually by the end of the afternoon into western fringes of scotland. potentially clouding over with a few isolated showers into wales and south west england. best of the sunshine in the southeast with highs of 22 degrees. so that bodes well for wimbledon. there's plenty of sport to look out for at the moment. thursday, dry, warm, and humid on friday. could trigger some thunderstorms on saturday. and we've got another test, starting this time in headingley in leeds. a beautiful start, but there could be some sharp showers into the weekend. let's take a look at those in more detail. on thursday, the rain will be moving out of northern ireland and into the early hours of friday morning it'll be pushing through scotland. so we start off on friday morning with some showery outbreaks of rain to the north and west, but further south we'll once again see some clearer skies. but this frontal system will tend to lingerfor a time. it's going to tap in to some very warm and humid air

as we move into friday. hence the reason we'll see this northwest, southeast divide. so some showery outbreaks of rain into northern ireland and western scotland. eastern scotland, england, wales dry, settled, sunny and increasingly hot and humid, 28—29 degrees can't be ruled out by the middle of the afternoon. that runs the risk of more thunderstorms as we move into the weekend. hence the reason for those showers for both wimbledon and for headingley. those fronts will push in and move steadily north and east. so into the weekend, sunny spells and scattered showers and a little bit fresher.
