mark savage, bbc news. just before we go i want to take you back to turkey and syria.nitarian aid is extraordinary. we have heard about the need for heaters and hot meals, accommodation, and then you get to the health care needs, sanitation, sanitary products, medicines, the list is intimidating. the efforts, though, continue. that is it. this is bbc news. hello there. for most places today, sunshine was in short supply, but there were exceptions to that rule, particularly in the north east of england and the east of scotland. a decent amount of blue sky overhead for this weather watcher in aberdeenshire. that's because there was a bit of shelter from the westerly flow that brought all of this cloud in across the uk and will keep some large areas of cloud as we head through the night. that cloud in place is thick enough to produce the odd spot of drizzle, perhaps most especially in the north west of scotland. north east scotland, though, should see some clear spells that could allow for a touch of frost. and if the cloud breaks elsewhere, maybe east wales into the west

mark savage, bbc news. just a recap of our breaking news this hour.rthwestern canada. mr trudeau broke the news in a tweet adding that canadian forces will now recover and analyze the wreckage of the object. he thanked north american aerospace defense command for keeping the watch over north america. it was a violation of canadian airspace that forced justin trudeau to give the order himself, and he said he spoke to the us president, who himself 24 hours ago had to give the order of the shooting down of an unmanned object in the sky that we believe is the size of a car. this latest shooting was shot down over yukon in northwest canada. that borders alaska, so these two objects that were shot down very close to each other timewise were also geographically very close to one another. justin trudeau said canadian forces will now recover and analyse the wreckage of the object. we'll keep an eye on that story for you. thanks so much forjoining us here on bbc news. catch me on twitter. i'm at mark lobel. thanks for watching. much of the cloud he was... howev
