ukraine, in europe, and certainly not in the united i want stability in the united kingdom. there is conflict in europe it will wash up on our shores. and already in the last three years, what's happened in ukraine has had a massive impact on many working people instability in our economy caused by that conflict so we are not unaffected by it. defence depends on the defence and security of europe. british people is my number one duty and responsibility and i

least for most of us. more of that to come in the next few days. but further north across the 7 a weather front is approaching. in fact, you can see it here earlier on. it will reach scotland and some rain on the way. whereas the south is under the influence at the high presseretw ” w scotland later on. some dribs and drabs in the south of scotland and northern ireland by early on monday morning. so again, more sunshine on the way.

but the fly in the ointment on monday could be around the north west here, parts of the lake district, of rain. but elsewhere, it is a case of sunny skies. this is somewhat milder atlantic air, so 13 in belfast, chilly and frosty start. here is tuesday's outlook. so increasing winds, eventually some day with light winds and the temperatures in fact, that will be the trend for the rest of the week. it will be turning somewhat milder because around this area of high pressure, certainly by wednesday, thursday, we will see air coming in from the southern climes.
