towards a regional war. when we are back in a moment or two we will get the latest from our correspondent in beirut, jerusalem and the latest from washington. that is after the weather. hello. the cloud cover varies a lot across the uk today. some of us have had a clear blue skies. for others it has been a little grey with showers. the broad message for the rest of the week is that it will be turning a little bit drier and sunnier, at least for most of us. on the satellite picture than thick rain bearing clouds are in the south and that is because a large area of high pressure has established itself across the uk. that has given the sunshine across scotland and many western parts of the uk ticker cloud. thicker cloud streaming and off the atlantic further south. this evening and overnight, some of the cloud fizzling away. some showers left over from parts of east anglia and the south—east. light wind and clear skies mean mist and four for the glens of scotland and the lowlands also. generally for many others, early thursday morning will be a little colder.

the high pressure is pretty much anchored over the uk. that is on thursday. that means prolonged spells of sunshine. for many of us, a dry and sunny day right from the word go. temperatures will be more or less the same whether you are northerly or soundly but the weather front is trying to sneak in towards the west. that is end of things to come as we head towards the weekend. this high pressure isn't going to stick around. in fact, thursday and friday is beginning to show signs of slipping away towards the east, and these weather fronts and low pressure makes progress. by the time we get a friday it is a case of thick clouds across ireland, western parts of scotland, some outbreaks of rain, but even here there will be some sunshine. england and wales on friday should have a financial dry day. certainly on the north sea coast, the channel coast, it's a fine end of the week. temperatures around the same. north or south. beyond that, the weekend and into next week, look at the low pressure, the vortices spinning around

here and coming close to the uk, spreading towers is our way. later in the week, tail ends of hurricane is even heading our way, that will mean wind and rain. that is still some way off. let's have a look at the outlook. a bit of a mixed weekend on the way eventually. and then into next week, it does look as though it is autumn full throttle with more unsettled weather. goodbye.
