# help me make it through the night... he speaks in russian in the orphanage, they ranked us by favourites. number one was the favourite child, number 27 was the least—favourite child. and because of my vitiligo i was number 27. and so, that meant i got the smallest portion of food, and the last choice of clothes. # livin�* alone i think

3:56 am
till my last breath. i have too many reasons to live. mr robert burrow, for services to rugby and to motor neurone disease awareness. your royal highness told me to keep fighting your best fight. # the story of your life... hello. it's been a chilly, windy and showery sort of weekend, but, thankfully, the weather is looking a little bit quieter now in the run—up to christmas. so for christmas week then, a change to the weather. things are turning milder, less windy than they have been and things looking mostly dry for many of us towards christmas. but we're going to be starting off with that cold air still in the east. milder air is going to be working in through the day on monday. still a few wintry showers, a little bit of ice
3:57 am
first thing monday, i think, across parts of northeast scotland in particular. but this system is a warm front, so it's bringing the milder air. it's also bringing some patchy outbreaks of rain on monday to western areas. these are the sort of temperatures we'll start the day with — 2 to 1! degrees for northern and eastern areas, 5 or 6 towards the south and west, a little bit colder than that for the more rural spots, particularly where we had the wintry showers. could be some icy stretches in the far northeast. we'll keep the sunshine longest across parts of eastern england on monday. the cloud builds from the west, bringing some patchy rain and some hill fog around western coasts and hills. could be a little bit of snow on top of the highest ground for the highlands, scotland, for a time. only about [i or 5 degrees around that east coast, but in the west, 9 or 10 degrees. things are turning a little bit milder as that warmer air moves in from the atlantic. high pressure is going to be building in as we head through to christmas eve on tuesday as well. so that's keeping most places dry. we will see a little bit of patchy rain across the north and northwest of scotland. perhaps around other western areas, a little bit of drizzle here and there. a fairly cloudy picture for many of us
3:58 am
on christmas eve. best of any sunshine will be to the east of higher ground. so aberdeenshire, perhaps parts of the welsh marches, seeing a little bit of blue sky here and there. temperatures, though, 13, 1a, possibly 15 degrees for some of us. so one of the warmest christmas eves on record, i think. and then that mild air stays with us through into christmas day as well. we've got a front just trying to move in towards the northwest. it's going to be quite breezy here, and there'll be some outbreaks of rain across the northwest of scotland, i think, for christmas day. for most of us, it's not going to be a white christmas. more of a grey one, really. mostly dry, though, quite a lot of cloud around. again, some breaks in that cloud generally to be found to the east of higher ground. so the likes of yorkshire, for instance, around the east coast of england could see a little bit of brightness developing. top temperatures between 11 to 13 for christmas day, perhaps a degree or so down on christmas eve. but most of us looking dry and settled into boxing day and towards the end of the week too. it's mild, it's cloudy, but it's not going to be a white christmas. bye— bye.
4:00 am
live from singapore, this is bbc news. syria's new leader says armed groups will be absorbed into the army as some communities express fear for their future. tributes are being paid to nine —year—old andre gleissner, one of five victims of the christmas market attack in germany. and in his first rally since winning the presidential election, donald trump says he may demand the return of the panama canal to the us. a warm welcome to newsday.
