at gatwick five flights were delayed and the rcn, basically, check before you travel.w it is not a huge amount of snow in london but a lot of people have to move around it and the thing that will happen next is that as soon as this rain sleet and snow moves out of the way the skies we re snow moves out of the way the skies were clear, the temperatures will plummet and everything under the wet at the moment is going to freeze the black case is a real concern through the night tonight, and indeed for the night tonight, and indeed for the morning commute tomorrow there really will be quite dangerous conditions particularly on roads that have not seen any grit, down in the home counties. it is worth leaving some extra time in london tomorrow if you're heading off to work and, my goodness, wrap up warm because it is absolutely perishing here on primrose hill in central london this evening. we will not leave you out there too much longer. thank you for that. you're watching bbc news. our headlines this evening... donald trump says the director of national intelligence has ca

elsewhere, gatwick has also had to cancel four flights.say their business is running as usual. here, british airways is the main operator and it is offering passengers that have had their flights affected refunds or the chance to change onto other flights. the advice for passengers travelling later on this afternoon is to check before you travel but as you mentioned, there is no snow here at the moment. it has just started raining. is no snow here at the moment. it hasjust started raining. how big the disruption is, that will depend on how much snow does fall over the next few hours. thank you. no snow at heathrow but a different picture in stirlingshire. lorna gordon is in rural stirlingshire for us. how disruptive is it expected to be? when the snow showers sweep through, the conditions here are proving a little unpleasant. it is leading to isolated incidents on the roads around rush hour. earlier today on the m74 around rush hour. earlier today on the m71; south of glasgow, there was gridlock. the road had to be closed for a time to all

gatwick and london city airport will not be affected and ba says that all passengers will be able tothe re—casting of two of its 12 bells. following a mediaeval practice, the two bells — called andrew and nicholas — were dressed, baptised, names were given to girls and they we re names were given to girls and they were baptised i think because they have a voice, so that there is something almost human ab out them —— bells. the re— casting and the sort of the re—engineering of parts of the bells only happens probably once every 100 years, so this is a once every 100 years, so this is a once in more than a lifetime event. let's have a check on the weather now with kate kinsella. good morning. there are one or two brighter spells out there this morning but further if there is a potential of maybe a shower or two. they will clear away quickly to brighter spells and the day should be mostly dry. we've got this north—westerly breeze. it will feel more chilly than yesterday. the mild airwill more chilly than yesterday. the mild air will start pushing as we had to the end of the afternoon wi

baseu have a lower cost like ryanair, it has a lot of exposure at home in gatwick.rimary airport. therefore it makes it harder to manage it. that is the line i will be watching going forward. certainly one area which could surprise on the wrong side. guy: a couple of quick questions, interesting on the government. a are consolidating into one terminal which could make life easier on a cost basis. it will be fascinating to see what effect that has. they do to this business right now to get it back on track versus its peers? it is a squeezed middle in terms of what is happening within the airline sector. if you can't do it, what happens next? benjamin: a good question. one that analysts are struggling with at the moment. i think at the moment we are seeing them committed to an operational review. to the extent that it has been a vague.- hopefully that will reduce -- produce cost savings. whether they can weather this fuel environment. out of the middle east -- they the ones that have been propping up the lossmaking terriers -- carriers -- guy: a report out of italy, s

talking to other airports they say it is business as usual apart from gatwick where four flights havehad around 30 seconds of snow and they have brought in extra staff just in case but everything is going well. edinburgh airport also saying a few moments ago that business is running as usual. british airways is one of the main operators here, i spoke to them a little earlier and they said that passengers whose flights have been affected are being offered refunds or they can change their holiday or their flight, whatever they are doing. the advice from all of the airlines is to check before you travel because although some have been cancelled, as the snowfalls that might change, all airports are monitoring the situation. as you can see behind me it's still pretty wet, the snow has not come but is expected in the next hour or so. depending on how much disruption that is it will come down to how much snowfall there is here. is it chilly? it's a bit cold, i'm not going to lie! we'll be back to you, you're going nowhere! thank you. it's beautiful when the sun is out and the snow is not fal

speaking to other airports, gatwick has had to cancel five flights already. you are going to travel this evening, the advice is to check with your airline operator before you travel. a lot of people are being offered flights at other times or complete refunds. as you can see, the snow started falling, it started falling in the last half an hour. as for the disruption, how bad it is going to be, that depends on how much more of this snow we will see. thank you for the update. with me is our weather presenter, john hammond. what is going on? the temperatures falling in london by1 degrees an hour. that is what this is all about. it has been pouring with rain all day long and now it is turning to snow. in the middle of london we will see flakes of snow in westminster. weather it settles is a moot point. with traffic and air temperature, it will never be as cold in the centre of london as the outskirts. but millions of people need to travel home and it is the side roads which will get clogged if it keeps on snowing for the next few hours. although it is not settli

other airports around the uk, gatwick say they have had to cancel for flights because of the weather.ere have been no delays there. they said they brought extra precautionary staffing. and talking to edinburgh airport as well, they say that business is running as usual. as you can see, there is no snow here at the moment but the advice is to check with your operator before you travel. as for how much disruption this is going to cause, well, we will have to wait and see when the snow arrives. yes, not long to wait, quite possibly. thank you both very much. let's find out. mix of weather on the way in the next 2a hours or so. but is it. the next hour or so will be crucial with what sort of weather we will be getting in southern areas of the uk. further south it would be tricky. we have rain starting to turn to stone. the thinking is that by rush hour it will be snowing across parts of the midlands, east anglia, the south and south—east. strong winds on top of that. it is a headache trying to forecast how much is no we will get, but be prepared for some settling in the hills around londo

in addition to that, there is a flight going out from gatwick this morning, and two other aircraft whothing on the ground works, they should be able to bring back those package holidaymakers. now, u nfortu nately those package holidaymakers. now, unfortunately that still those package holidaymakers. now, u nfortu nately that still leaves several thousand other people. they are people travelling with other package tour operators, who perhaps won't be able to bring people back, and also maybe 2500 people who are there independently, having bought flight there independently, having bought flight only tickets. they don't have quite the same duty of care, but i do understand that thomas cook and possibly other airlines are going to be trying to get flights back in the last couple of days. so what do they do? do they turn up to the airport, what do they do? don't go to the airport, it is going to be chaotic enough, thank you very much. so i absolutely agree. there you are, thousands of miles from home where a state of emergency has been declared and the foreign office says get out. it is natu
