this picture came from a weather watcher in cumbria on saturday and this is the same scene today.he snow has been replaced by a big puddle. the thaw has really taken place. 16 degrees there on the north coast of wales, and lots of other places not far behind. almost all of us in double digits, but there was quite a lot of rain in association with that and there are some flood warnings in force in central parts of scotland and southern england. tomorrow, we are going to see something of a change. some slightly cooler air working in from the west. it's not going to be as mild as it has been today for the rest of the week but equally not nearly as cold as it was. tonight, some further unwanted rain to come across central and southern parts of england. that sliding it, staying mild in the south—east, but a bit chillier further north and west. that said, most places will avoid a first. tomorrow, some of this cloud and rain lingering in east anglia and south—east england first thing but it will clear and then a day of sunny spells and showers, most of the showers in northern ireland and

now, earlier on this morning, clare spotted some of these wave clouds over the skies in cumbria.ouds. satellite picture picks up the extensive cloud that we have across the country, thickest of which is across the north west. that's where we're seeing some fairly heavy bursts of rain working in at the moment. but the winds are coming in from a south westerly direction, pumping this mild flow of air across pretty much all of the uk. now we do have rain around. the rain is turning quite heavy at the moment in northern ireland, and it will continue to get heavier in western scotland as well over the next few hours. one or two showers elsewhere across parts of england and wales. but overnight we get a band of rain that pushes its way eastwards for a time. overnight, there'll be more rain to come then for northern ireland, west scotland and the north west of both england and wales. so rain on and off for quite a few of you. temperatures holding up at around 5—9 degrees celsius heading into christmas day. so it will be a mild start to the day, and with low pressure staying to the north

compare this picture of a snowy scene in cumbria on saturday with this picture of the same scene on mondayw some much milder conditions. temperatures in north wales got very close to 16 celsius, lots of other places not too far behind. that mild air pushed up from the southwest with a lot of cloud and some outbreaks of quite heavy rain in places. as the stripe of cloud and rain clears away eastwards, we will see some slightly cooler air pushing in from the west, so those really high temperatures for monday are not going to last throughout the week ahead. equally, it's not going to be nearly as cold as it was just a few days ago. some cloud and rain in the southeast corner, early on tuesday morning, but that will clear, and then we'll see sunny spells — scattered showers, too, especially in northern ireland and western scotland, mostly falling as rain, but some snow over the highest hills and mountains in scotland. windy in the far northwest, temperatures between seven and 13 degrees, so it is still mild for the time of year. as we go through tuesday night, there'll be some clear spells, bu

last night it was —8.9 in cumbria.orrow, a lot of sunshine but in the south—east it maybe a bit cloudy before the sun develops. briefly temperatures reaching around four, 5 degrees but in the course of the evening temperatures again quickly dropping meaning that on friday night into saturday, city centre temperatures are well below freezing. —3, “4 easily. through the weekend we will see subtle changes in the wind direction and strength. the wind will die down so we will see some freezing fog and the wind maybe coming back, circulating so we may seek snow showers in places that haven't had snow so far. the overall pattern is for the cold weather to persist. it isn't extreme by day, it is only the nights that are cold. snow showers can strike at any time. we'll take note, thank you. that's the bbc news. coming up on newsnight and there is katie preparing to go on—air. on bbc one, also preparing, our colleagues in the nations and regions with the news where you are. from all of us, thanks for watching. hello and welcome

what they do across the northeast and cumbria and i'm sure this happens elsewhere. to agree that they want take longer than 60 minutes to hand over. after 60 minutes is when the harm really starts to kick in. and the patient�*s been seen by a doctor or being treated. that's what they are working on. they will focus on it should be 15 minutes. if they can work on and hour that's what they're trying to do. the second really crucial thing is working with social care partners and trying to put pressure on government for more funding. i'm no more funding has been announced but long—term funding would really be crucial for social care teams and staffing. i hundred and 65,000 vacancies across the uk here in the northeast and cumbria around 6500 vacancies. so social care is struggling which is why they can't get patients out. one social care provider told us today that they are falling out of the system because of the costs of energy as well is really hurting social care providers. he says is social care goes down they will pull the nhs down with it.— goes down they will pu

hits from their peak in the 1970s — written by christine — don't stop... ..christine was born in cumbrialy. asked about why her songs about love were so successful — she said she always had to give them a twist. fleetwood mac's christine mcvie who's died at the age of 79. that's all for now — stay with bbc world news. hello again. wednesday brought us some big weather contrast, once again. now we have some fog that lingered all day around the scottish borders and where that happened, temperatures in places actually stayed below freezing all day, whereas across the south west of england we had some pleasant sunshine. it was quite mild. 12 degrees in cornwall, 13 in the isles of scilly. right now, fog is becoming our next concern. we've got quite dense patches of fog across southern areas of england with the risk of some fog developing across wales, midlands, east anglia and for a time as well, northeast england. so, it might be worth allowing a little bit of extra time for your commute to work during the first part of thursday, because i think some of that fog is going to be quite dense w

christine mcvie was born in cumbria, but spent most of her life in the us, as our correspondent david bill clinton chose as his campaign anthem. #just think what tomorrow will do # don't stop thinking about tomorrow # don't stop because it will soon be here # it'll be here better than before # yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone #. and the songwriter, christine mcvie. she'd been part of the british blues scene in the �*60s with the band chicken shack and also as a solo artist before joining mick fleetwood and her husband, john mcvie. she had a gift for writing hits. # tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies #. little lies, everywhere, you make loving fun, many of the band's best known songs were her work but she tired of the endless touring. # go your own way # you can call it...#. there was a long break but she rejoined the band in 2014. # and i love you, i love you, i love you # like never before #. fleetwood mac has had many ups and downs but their success owed much to the songwriting skill of christine mcvie. in a statement the band said, we were so lucky to have a life with her. f

yes, so he's announced a new call mine in l announced a new call mine in cumbria, as each ascetic, it'sntal campaigners, seems to be a move in exactly the wrong direction if you are looking to move the uk treads its net zero target in 2050. so also questions about what this call is going to the service. it steelmakers have moved away from relying on call because it's not quite right for their needs any more and they are looking to become greener. the government says that it would be used for exports, but to actually come if you look across the channel in europe, again, cole is very unfashionable. it's a very dirty source of energy, and lots of companies abroad as well have moved away from call. lots of steelmakers, european steelmakers, for example. so i think, it'sjust raising real questions. we absolutely should be investing in our energy infrastructure in this country, but we should be investing in green technologies and renewables, and low carbon. and this feels like a step in entirely the wrong direction in terms of tackling this very big challenge which is how do we reduce c02 cha
