bbc website. we will have a busy next 60 minutes, we will get the announcement from the uk foreign secretary partially suspending arms exports to israel, joe biden has also been speaking, we got a general strike in israel and we will talk on the programme about that whole issue of dynamic pricing after everything that has happened with oasis tickets, we will talk to one retailer who was selling one set of tickets for over £7,000. theyjoin us live in the programme in the next few minutes. all of that is after the weather. good afternoon. today is a classic transition day, weather—wise. a change is taking place from the very warm and humid air that brought some of us temperatures of up to 30 degrees yesterday, to some cooler and fresher conditions heading in from the west for the middle part of the week. but as that transition takes place, the cooler air bumping
4:57 pm
into the warm and humid air, we have a lot of mist and murk out there, some very gloomy scenes across many parts of the uk and also some outbreaks of rain. this is a really messy transition. yes, we have low pressure in charge, but various different frontal systems bringing showers or longer spells of rain. it does look like this heavy and persistent rain will continue to move north—eastwards. the chance of some thunderstorms across the north—east of scotland. as things brighten up further south and west we will see some sharp showers again, with the potential for some heavy downpours and some thunder and lightning. still up to the middle 20s across eastern england. cooler and fresher further north and west. as we go through this evening and tonight, we will continue to see those areas of showery rain pushing northwards and eastwards. some clearer spells spreading from the west. i think we will keep a fair amount of cloud, perhaps some mist and murk around here and there. another rather warm night in the south—east corner, but a much cooler, fresher one further north and west.
4:58 pm
that fresher air will continue to make progress southwards and eastwards during tomorrow. this band of cloud and patchy rain affecting parts of western scotland and northern ireland, perhaps into north—west england and parts of north wales. some cloud and showers further south and east, but equally some spells of sunshine and those temperatures, 16 for aberdeen and for glasgow, 22 in london. this big area of high pressure in the atlantic is going to try to extend its influence for the middle part of the week. still, though, some weak frontal zones in the picture, so that means a lot of dry weather, thanks to that area of high pressure, but those weak weather fronts still bringing some areas of cloud and some bits and pieces of showery rain at times. those temperatures will be lower — 1a to 21 degrees covers things north to south for the middle of the week. for the end of the week, well, there is a lot of uncertainty about the detail, but it looks like low pressure may develop to the south of the uk bringing some outbreaks of rain, with some drier conditions further north.
5:00 pm
5:01 pm
partial economic shutdown here, more heat from washington any suspension of some arms from the uk. the pressure on the government here continues. victory for germany's afd — who've become the first far—right party to win a regional election since world war ii. the uk government will investigate the use of dynamic pricing, after huge anger over the cost of oasis tickets.
