out a full equality impact assessment on the changes. the court of session here in scotland is being asked to rule whether scrapping the universal winter fuel payment was legal or illegal. that hearing will place —— will take place in the middle ofjanuary and it is expected to lastjust one day. that is the most senior courtier in scotland. those judges have a lot of seniority in the process. this is the court that ruled that the prorogation of the uk government under borisjohnson government under boris johnson was government under borisjohnson was illegal. there will be looking at the arguments that are being put forward on behalf of that couple from north lanarkshire and if they did end “p lanarkshire and if they did end up finding in their favour, up finding in theirfavour, they up finding in their favour, they could theoretically restore the winter fuel payment to all pensioners going forward. that case has been given permission to proceed and it is a here and that is scheduled to last one day will take place in the middle of

because we very crudely slaughter and keep billions of animals in horrendous conditions, awful conditions. it is no good for any of ask. that is all for now, but it is time to have a look at the weather. hello. we've got a real mix of different autumnal weather types out there today. we've had some mist and some fog to start the day for central and eastern areas. that will slowly lift and clear, and through the rest of the day, it is a little cloudier than recent days. some rain in the forecast, but not everywhere, and still mild for the time of year. but we've got this area of low pressure trying to nudge into the south—west here. it's bumping into higher pressure towards the east, so the weather is fairly slow moving. we've got this band of rain across parts of central england, wales, northern ireland as well, but it's pretty light and patchy. windy weather down towards the south—west and a few scattered showers in there as well. we've got more cloud for parts of northern and eastern england and scotland compared to recent days. still very mild, though. we could see 19, 20 degrees

in the warmest spots for east anglia, for instance. most of us in the mid—teens. into the evening hours, that area of cloud and patchy light rain continues its progress northwards. we'll see the next front moving into the north—west, so some rain for the western isles, for instance. clearer skies developing for many of us, but like last night, could be some mist and some fog, especially for some eastern areas. through the course of saturday, we've got higher pressure trying to move in, but there's also a weather front approaching from the north—west, so that's going to bring some wet weather for northern ireland, northern and western scotland as well. a little bit more cloud and drizzly rain, perhaps some mist and murk in the south—east. slowly easing away. in between these two areas of cloud, plenty of sunshine through the central swathe of the uk. so, temperatures a touch cooler than recent days. we're looking at around about 1a to 16 in the south. still only 11 or 12 across the north of scotland. and don't forget, it's saturday night into the early hours of sunday that the clocks go back one hour. so, we're back into gmt from british summertime. into sunday then, and a lot of dry, settled weather. some early morning mist and murk in the south. there'll be some rain and cloud moving into northern ireland.

perhaps the north and west of scotland seeing a bit of rain as well. but elsewhere you should stay mostly dry. and although temperatures will be a touch cooler, 13 or 1a for the warmest spots in the south, 11 or 12 in the north, it should feel fairly pleasant as the afternoon sunshine breaks through. so, still a front first thing monday, but as we head through the course of next week, higher pressure tries to build its way in. a few fronts just pushing across the far north of the uk. so, not a completely dry week ahead, but we should see a more settled spell of autumn weather and temperatures still on the mild side for most of us for the time of year. �*bye for now.
