the baby was out, i wrapped it up and didn't even think of anything else, as i continued walking. a mother of eight, she crossed over with herfour girls — but she left the bodies of her three sons behind. they were three, seven and nine. she says the rapid support forces kill them in an attack. most of those we spoke to said the rsf came for them wherever they hid. at home, schools and in health facilities. it's the men and boys that were killed first. thousands of people keep flowing into this camp every day and most of them are women and children. there are very few men here. there are two possible explanations. one — it is very difficult for the men to move or cross overfrom sudan into chad because they are the ones being targeted most by the militia. the second possible reason is that they have remained behind to fight and protect whatever little is remaining of their community.

2:56 pm
what was a very mixed weekend. indeed, for some of us and after —— an absolute wash—out. little change expected for the rest of this we can possibly into august as well. i wanted to show you the weather system is developing across the north atlantic and heading in our direction on this wide picture here, the wide map. let's look at this animation once again, so we can see the cloud, the outbreaks of rain and this undulating jet stream. where we see the troughs in the jet stream, thatis see the troughs in the jet stream, that is where the low pressure tends to form. crucially, overthe that is where the low pressure tends to form. crucially, over the next few days, the jet stream will be generally to the south of us, and autumn —like pattern, hence the colder air streaming in from the north and keeping things very fresh for us. today, a lot of cloud across the uk. thick cloud for the second half of the day across more southern areas. this is where the showers will be more frequent. certainly not raining all the time and there will be some decent sunny spells. it is
2:57 pm
on the cool side with the jet stream to the south of us generally. temperatures will be about 16 or 18 degrees, orat temperatures will be about 16 or 18 degrees, or at least picking this afternoon. tonight, the same pattern. there will be clear spells here and they were showers once again becoming more frequent in scotland and a few showers elsewhere. not too cold in city centres, nine or 11 celsius. in rural spots, as is often the case, it will be a little bit colder. tomorrow starts off quite bright, even sunny in some areas. this is relatively what we call unstable air, so the cloud grows quite quickly and produces sharp showers. some of the showers will be quite heavy across northern parts of england and southern scotland. in this sort of situation, the best of the weather tends to be up towards the weather tends to be up towards the south—west, particularly coastal areas. we showed you the animation earlier on with the jet stream and developing systems, an area of low pressure approaching as early on wednesday. early in the day there will be some decent weather, particularly in northern and eastern
2:58 pm
parts of the country, and then quickly this next weather front will sweep in and bring outbreaks of rain, and certainly at times the rain, and certainly at times the rain could be heavy. it has already been a very wet month, for example in parts of north—western england. if you look at the outlook through the week and weekend, unsettled.
