in any british colony. archive: the garden party _ at government house was an informal farewell to british rule in kenya. kenya became independent in 1963 and, since then, relations between the two countries have generally been good. trade and other ties are strong. but the king knows that one of the challenges for his reign is to address issues from britain's past, such as the handling of the mau mau uprising. he will do so tonight, in a speech here at state house, in nairobi. king charles is expected to acknowledge the mistreatment that occurred during british colonial rule, but he's not expected to issue an apology for it. the king must be guided by the british government's view. it's paid £20 million in compensation for the handling of the mau mau uprising and expressed regret, but it will not accept further liability for events which occurred 70 years ago. nicholas witchell,

bbc news, nairobi. time for a look at the weather. here's darren bett. hello, the good news is that the rain in northern ireland has eased. but in 2a hours, there were three inches of rain in county down which led to the flooding. it looks likely that northern ireland will miss the worst of the rain from storm ciaran as it arrives in time for thursday. but with rain elsewhere, saturated ground, further flooding and the damaging winds are likely to be in the far south. there is an amber wind warning from the met office, i will show you that later. but the details are not nailed down yet because the storm has not developed, it will develop from this cloud which is the other side of the atlantic. ahead of that, this cloud is going to bring rain into the far south west to spoil hallowe�*en. we have still got a little bit of rain in northern ireland and northern england, but it is easing, still a lot of cloud keeping it on the chilly side. we follow that rain in

the south west through this evening and overnight, it will work northwards, heavy for a while. and then followed in the early hours by squally perhaps thundery downpours that will sweep across wales, the south west and move eastwards into early tomorrow. there will be a chilly start across northern parts of scotland. is that wet weather pushes northwards into scotland, in the north over the mountains briefly, some snow. following on from that, we will see a mixture of sunshine and showers, some of them heavy. the wind is starting to pick up heavy. the wind is starting to pick up tomorrow. but it could be milder than today in northern ireland, southern scotland and northern england. and overnight into thursday, this is where we see storm ciaran sweeping eastwards across england and is. the strongest winds are going to be along the southern flank of that deep low of the storm —— england and wales. we have the amber wind warning here from the met office and winds could be stronger through the english channel, so very

large waves, dangerous winds, disruption to power as well as travel. and we will find wet weather continuing across many parts of the country. windy in places as well. especially where we have that rain sitting across some areas and temperatures 11 or 12 degrees. the wind ease later tomorrow in the south west because the storm starts to move away in time for friday. —— the winds ease. things are quieter to end the week. not as wet, not as windy either. we could see wet windy weather back in on friday across eastern scotland and the north—east of england, but friday is something a little bit calmer after the storm. thanks, darren. and that's bbc news at one. lets d e ny lets deny colleagues hello and welcome to sportsday this tuesday afternoon, i'm chetan pathak, coming up on the programme.
