further south, a little bit of rain northern ireland and maybe northern england but the further south. bye for now. good morning. there's been a fair bit of cloud around in areas today but equally a little bit of sunshine here and there. quite a few people have seen the sunshine break through the cloud when you have it as we go through the day. just across the board, though, it is a mild day, even after the chilly start in parts of aberdeenshire, but it's towards the north and west of scotland you see this whiter cloud from earlier pushing on from the atlantic, this is going to produce heavy rain we go through the day, for the highlands and islands in particular. you can see it pushing in with the strengthening breeze. still a bit of drizzle through eastern scotland into the start of the afternoon, still some bouts of rain or drizzle, east anglia, the south—east, but even those will become less numerous through the day. and a bit cloudy and drizzly around the western coasts but for most it will be a dry afternoon, light winds but pleasant enough where sunshine breaks through. the stro

for monday we see that weather front across scotland and northern ireland gradually work its way and ts of north and west wales. so it's here that it will actually turn a little bit damp through the day, some heavy bursts of rain in cumbria and on towards snowdonia, maybe,but scotland, northern ireland, a much brighter day. early rain in south and east will clear through, plenty of sunshine, isolated showers in the far north—west. across the midlands, east anglia and the south, though, most places will stay dry and the mist and fog should lift to a few sunny spells. temperatures similar to today though little bit cooler through parts of scotland and northern ireland. and then into the week ahead, after a slightly cooler spell midweek, temperatures around the average, it will get much, much milder once again. rain most likely across the north, that's because you are close to these areas of low pressure in iceland, weatherfronts scooting by some windy conditions at times and so if it's not some bands of heavy rain it will be a scattering of showers which will pepper western scotland thr

fundamentally, the northern ireland protocol creates special arrangements for northern ireland that allowsd of principled disagreement between the uk and the eu about the fact that eu law continues to apply in northern ireland, despite the fact that it�*s no longer formerly part of the eu. now, there have been several rounds of discussion on this, and it looks like there are proposals on the table to try and ease the level of checks, to remove some of the challenges that have been created on sending goods between great britain and northern ireland, but there also a political dimension to this that perhaps is making agreement quite difficult. so, this is something that has an impact and in effect beyond northern ireland itself. this is affecting companies, exporters, manufacturers throughout the rest of the uk. i think one of the things that businesses are particularly struggling with is some of the uncertainty around their arrangements, because it�*s not clear what the future of the northern ireland protocol will be. they don�*t know what kind of scheme they will need to adhere to, what re
