i'm off for a few weeks now, but anna smith will be your host for next friday. there they are!s brought some disruptive winds and torrential rain, particular to northern and eastern parts. the storm should fade away overnight, but there's always the eastern areas going to be some further rainfall. the showers further west tending to become fewer and further between. 10-13 c become fewer and further between. 10—13 c because we are switching our wind direction. there will still be a few showers around but fewer. most will be through eastern scotland and england. once again, torrential downpour �*s are possible. 20—21 in the south. a cooler day on sunday and still a showery picture sunday and still a showery picture sunday and into the start of the new week. at six: drug deaths in scotland reach record levels. more than 1,300 people died of drug—related causes last year alone — it's the worst drug figures in europe. why is this still happening? why is this being allowed to continue? why are these numbers up, death figures up again? will be asking why the number of deaths keeps on

i'm off for a few weeks now, but anna smith will be your host for next friday. there they are!day brought quite a nasty spell of weather to some south—western and southern areas of the uk. gale force winds around coasts briefly. they were very, very strong indeed, brought by storm evert. you can see on the satellite picture here thunderstorms and heavy showers inland, generally a really changeable day, but the weather has now shifted into the southern north sea. it's approaching parts of germany and denmark. behind it, you can see from the motion of the arrows, it's a fairly cool north—northwesterly, so it's going to be a fairly cool day for most of us. really quite nippy, in fact, in the very far north of the country. sunny spells and showers expected. so let's have a look at the early morning hours. that northerly wind blowing across scotland and along the north sea coast. showers there right from the word go, but i think showers are possible almost anywhere early in the morning, apart from the extreme north west of the country here. temperatures a little on the fresh side, a

thanks for watching the film review with me, anna smith. mark kermode will be back next week.? i work in finance. there is, ifeel, a certain poetry in numbers. gross. what did you say? i said gross. that some showers through the day but showers are going to be on the cards throughout this evening. with this area of low pressure driving our weather in this area of low pressure developing rapidly to the south could bring some unceasingly weather through monday night. the remains of his evening will be under downpours and i think the thunder will easily list to go through the night but it will stay unsettled further outbreaks of showers and rains for scotland, northern england, northern ireland. pure showers in the south by the mop made from most in mild cloud coming off of scotland and looks as though the northern half of the country will have the thickest cloud, the shower outbreaks for the self and it looks drier and sunnier than the day. not ruling out the odd shower but there will be some heavy ones for the north and eventually, it will start to ease into northern england an

and coming up at 5.45, anna smith takes a look the best and worst of the week's film releases.very good evening. sir keir starmer says �*labour is back�* after the party's narrow victory in the batley and spen by—election. in a close contest, kim leadbeater, the sister of the murdered mp jo cox, held the west yorkshire seat, with a majority of just 323 votes. the conservatives had hoped to gain the seat. they came second with george galloway in third. the result is likely to ease pressure on keir starmer for now after recent criticism of his leadership from some within the party. our political correspondent nick eardley is in batley. a narrow win, but one that really matters for labour. some had written of the party's chances of winning batley and spen but kim leadbeater managed to hold on and labour's leader was delighted. when the labour party sticks to its core values, is rooted in its communities and pulls together, we can win, just as we've won here. this is the start, labour is back. if labour had lost here, the pressure on keir starmer would have increased significantly.
