the winds will slowly start to ease, but it still will be blustery tonight, and we're looking at two to seven degrees as our overnight lows. tomorrow, the low pressure, which is this storm, continues to drift towards the east. and then we've got another low pressure coming in from the atlantic. so during the course of tuesday all these showers continue to push eastwards. it will be brighter behind but it's still going to be blustery. and we've got a cold northerly wind blowing in some showers across the north of scotland. temperatures seven to about ten degrees north to south. so we say goodbye to the low pressure. that's the storm. and then we've got this next area of low pressure coming in. now, there's still a little bit of uncertainty as to just how far north the rain will come. this is what we think at the moment across some southern counties of england. but it could push a little bit further north than that. some showers coming in on the northwesterly wind, but in between.
10:31 am
a quieter day. a lot of dry weather around. temperatures seven to about ten degrees. and then looking beyond that, well, as we head through thursday, it's looking like it's going to be dry for most of us. more settled and it continues more settled as we head into the ensuing days. but there will still be some rain on the cards.

thousands of displaced palestinians have begun returning to their homes in northern gaza, as part of a ceasefire deal involving the return of israeli hostages. these are live pictures from the gaza strip. sir keir starmer and donald trump have agreed to meet soon after the uk prime minister praised the us president for his role in securing the gaza ceasefire deal. and the survivors of the holocaust, along with heads of state and royalty, are gathering at the sight of the nazi concentration camp auschwitz to mark the 80th anniversary of its liberation. hello if you have just anniversary of its liberation. hello if you havejustjoined us, i'm nicky schiller. tens of thousands of palestinians have just begun returning to their homes in the north of the territory after a row over hostage releases led to roads which were due to be reopened under the ceasefire deal being blocked over the weekend. as you can see from these live pictures, those roads are well
10:34 am
and truly open. we have seen pictures like these coming into us for more than five hours now, showing those tens or hundreds of thousands of palestinians making their way northwards, on foot, along gaza's main coast road. some have told reporters that they have told reporters that they have had to move several times during the fighting to try to find safe areas. and while they are glad to be able to return, many of their homes have been destroyed. indeed, one displaced palestinian woman has been talking to our colleagues on bbc news and says she is planning to reunite with her two daughters who she has not seen for a year. she told us, "i have been waiting for this moment for more than 15 months. when i saw this scene in front of me, my eyes, i started to cry. it is like a dream come true. i'm planning to return to north gaza as soon as possible because we don't trust at the ceasefire agreement." she says, as i mentioned that her home
10:35 am
his partially destroyed, she says the most important thing is seeing her daughters again. you can see those huge queues building up there. she says that that means she accepts that that means she accepts that the journey will take time, she said, "i will have to go on foot and it is a long distance, more than 15 kilometres." and she is in amongst all of those people. you can see here, there is the coast road, and as we said, the last five and a half hours, we have seen that continuous stream of palestinians returning into northern gaza. as we said, they waited over the weekend, when they thought it was going to happen, but there was that row between israel and hamas which led to israel and hamas which led to israel delaying the return of the palestinians to the north. it was all over a hostage, an israeli hostage called arbel yehud. she will now be handed over to the red cross along with two other captives on thursday, which is why the
10:36 am
crossing has been allowed to be opened and people have moved in. but herfamily have issued a statement as well, because of course they don't know what has happened to her. so they are waiting for her, and they say, "we are living through complex emotional and nerve—racking days. we yearn for the moment when we can embrace our arbel and desperately pray for the return of all the hostages. " thatis return of all the hostages. " that is the work from arbel yehud's family, who is due to be released on thursday with two other captives. that is the reason you can see the pictures live from gaza at the moment, where we have seen thousands of palestinians walking back to their homes in the ruins of northern gaza after that deal was reached. as you can see, many of them are carrying
10:37 am
possessions on their backs. we have to remember that many of these people have been moved a number of times since the start of the war, and there we have a camera that is walking with those people along this dusty road. we were hearing from that one person who is trying to return saying that it will be a 15 kilometre walk, and it will take time because it is a dusty road. many of the roads have been destroyed. you can see the devastation there on the site as these people make their way back into northern gaza. those live pictures, you can continue to watch those on our live page which we have running on the bbc news website and app with the latest from gaza and elsewhere in the middle east. downing street says donald trump and sir keir starmer have agreed to meet soon, after the prime minister praised the us president for his role
10:38 am
in securing the landmark gaza ceasefire and hostages deal between israel and hamas. mr trump complimented the prime minister's leadership. the two spoke over the phone yesterday, for the first time since mr trump's presidential inaugration last week. our chief political correspondent henry zeffman has more on the meeting. it was a diplomatic victory for keir starmer that this call—up took place now. donald trump has been back in the white house for a week, but until yesterday, the white house for a week, but untilyesterday, he the white house for a week, but until yesterday, he hadn't spoken to a single european leader on the phone. keir starmer was the first. that is being taken, understandably, as a diplomatic achievement by the uk government. and it does sound, both from the readout, as it is termed, that we got from downing street and the white house, that it was a fairly warm conversation. we know they talked about the middle east, keir starmer praised donald trump for his role in bringing about the hostage release deal. we know
10:39 am
they talked about the economy and keir starmer talked about his plans to deregulate the uk economy. i think that was pretty clearly an attempt to appeal to donald trump's sensibilities. we also know courtesy of the white house that they talked about the royal family, because that they talked about the royalfamily, because when it comes to the uk, always worth remembering that donald trump, whose mother was scottish, absolutely loves and has the perfection for the royal family. perfection for the royal famil . �* , family. but, henry, in those readouts— family. but, henry, in those readouts of— family. but, henry, in those readouts of the _ family. but, henry, in those readouts of the calls, - family. but, henry, in those readouts of the calls, did i family. but, henry, in thosel readouts of the calls, did you spot any differences in the tones between the two? hat tones between the two? not particularly. _ tones between the two? not particularly, but _ tones between the two? iirrt particularly, but there were glaring omissions. when they talked about the economy, keir starmer may have talked about his desire to deregulate the uk economy, but the reason is that donald trump wants to or has talked about potentially imposing global tariffs, and that would be damaging for the uk economy. perhaps not as damaging as for some other countries, but nevertheless thatis countries, but nevertheless that is something the uk government is desperate to avoid. that would have been a
10:40 am
big chunk, i'm sure, the 45 minute phone call. they didn't talk about the chagos islands, this deal that the uk signed with the mauritius government while joe with the mauritius government whilejoe biden was still president. joe biden was very supportive of it, the us as a military base on diego garcia, one of the islands. but some allies of donald trump have been much more circumspect, cautious even about this deal. that could be a big moment for the relationship. we don't know that they talked about the uk government's plan to make peter mandelson, former cabinet minister the uk ambassador to the us. as far as i'm aware, donald trump doesn't have views on the people around him certainly do, urging him to block that appointment. there are all sorts of tensions underlying what clearly was, for now, very positive call. henry zeffman. commemorations are being held to mark the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the auschwitz—birkenau
10:41 am
concentration camp. we have heard from polish president duda today talking about the poles being the preservation as a memory. the focus of today's commemorations is very much the victims of the holocaust. here at auschwitz, there is one building that is on the edge of the camp and it is a very ordinary building which has more significance than others because if it did belong to rudolf hoss, who was the notorious commandant, some of the butcher of auschwitz. it was from inside this building that he choreographed the horror we saw here. this has been bought after being lived in by a polish family for years by an anti—extremism organisation. this unassuming house
10:42 am
is opening its doors to its chilling past. it is not a jewish house, but we want to show that this house is for everyone, and jewish people were not allowed to enter the house during the war, and now they are a part of the new history of this house. overlooking auschwitz i, it was the home of the nazi commandant rudolf hoss and his family. the dream life of the family is depicted in the oscar—winning film zone of interest. his wife called the house a paradise. the house from where her husband planned the murder of 1.1 million people. the top floor of the house was built by prisoners to house the rapidly expanding the rapidly expanding hoss family, including the fifth child, he was born in this house, so he was born in this house.
10:43 am
so much was done to shield the children from what was happening right next door, including frosting the windows so they couldn't see out. but if you had opened a window, just beyond the trees you can see here is the gas chamber at auschwitz i, where up to 600 prisoners could be murdered injust 20 minutes. and the elaborate deception continued. behind this white wall, the family had a huge garden with a playground and a swimming pool. and beyond that is auschwitz i. guards were told to start up their car and motorbike engines to mask the noise of the horror that was unfolding in the gas chambers. for years, a polish family lived here, but today it opens as a site for halting extreme and anti—semitic behaviour. we all have neighbours and a house next door, what we know now is that extremism and anti—semitism can lurk as close as that, any of the houses next door, and the symbolism of this house, ithink, really captures that moment. hoss was hung for war crimes
10:44 am
metres away from this house. it now stands as a symbol of the fight against hate and a warning that, even in the ordinary, evil can lurk. joining me now live from the house is mary fallbrook, a professor of german history at university college london. we have talked already about how chilling it is to be in the house, but i know when you walk in there is only his name mentioned once. they don't want the commandant to be the focus of the house, they want to focus on combating extremism in the future, they also want to remember the victims. but i found it interesting talking to a british rabbi, rabbi wattenberg, who said that, "yes, what we should remember the victims, it is also important that we have a conversation about the perpetrators." how should that conversation start and how should it be tackled? i think it is vital— should it be tackled? i think it is vital to _ should it be tackled? i think it is vital to talk _ should it be tackled? i think it is vital to talk about - should it be tackled? i think it is vital to t
