there will be no services today or tomorrow between perth and aberdeen via dundee, perth and aviemoreetween glasgow queen street and aberdeen and inverness, and between edinburgh waverley and aberdeen and inverness. so pretty much, a lot of scotland's. 0n the roads — so far the only major closure is the forth road bridge. ferries have also been affected. northlink ferries have cancelled sailings today between aberdeen and 0rkney and shetland. pentland and 0rkney ferries have also said there will be no sailings today and into friday. calmac ferries — which serve the hebrides and other islands off the west of scotland — are at "heightened risk of disruption". to keep an ear and an eye on the bbc local services, said bbc scotland will have all the details you need, and of course, on the bbc news website also for the very latest as that storm prepares to make itself felt in large parts of scotland. elsewhere, asylum seekers will return to the bibby stockholm barge in dorset today, more than two months after they were evacuated when legionella bacteria was found on board. 0ur south west en

wetterspots, perth combination of wind and rainfall.ter spots, perth into the south of the grampians and forfar as well. is where we have seen over a months worth of rainfall in a day. we have seen the rain totting up in northern england. wakefield to south of leeds. extensive flooding through this morning and it is all because we have got weather systems with which are just stuck. we have an area of high pressure across scandinavia but this area revolving round it are. it means weather fronts have got stuck in the same place. it originated in the midlands tin there, is a lot of warm in, it might not feel it in the strong wind but that arm air means there is more moisture, when the rain falls it puts more on ground, and the strong winds have added to that, by forcing the clouds up over the hills and adding more rain to what is already adding more rain to what is already a pretty nasty situation. matt, really good to have you across that, i know you will follow events throughout the day and that new red weather warning that comes into fo

mona candilar correspondent to is an occupy ramala uh we will also have uh she's a seran activist in perth australia i'm going to beginning with you let's have an update on the latest going on the palestina occupied territories as you have mentioned the israeli authorities and the israeli military deathtal rises to 600 israels had been killed by the orduring the operations that started early on saturday, the they were killed by the fighters of the resistance groups, the the al-qassam brigades, hamas armed in gaza, so the israelis said 600 israels had been killed, over 2000 and others had been wonded, dozens were arrested by the palestinian fighters, experts here are saying that the number may be even more than this, while the al-qassam brigades said that in the coming hours they will reveal the exact number of those who had been detained by the palestinian fighters and were taken to the gaz ship, they say that... includes israeli soldiers, israeli settlers as well as senior military officials and officers among those who had been arrested and detained by the palestinian fighters. we receiv

direct violent confrontations between the resistance fighters anders to discuss. this pressing issue perth is missly known as syrian girl on twitter x and political commentator it's a pleasure having you with us maram that complete blackout maramo of the internet and connections and communications in gaza and unprecedented arial bombardment campaigns it took place last week it's taking place right now as we speak as designist entity attempted to launch a ground incursion two ground incursion so far that were utter failure according to the resistance now imagine this were not gaza how think the west that is so obsessed with human rights, usually would have responded, madam? well, we could sort of see that with how they responded these blackouts occurred in ukraine, you there was crying outrage, and i think in the west, now communications and the internet are seen as a human right, so what israel has done has has had an effect on western perception of israel, and it's also you know not, it's obvious that they're using the blackout. to hide the death toll of their bombardment of gaza and the

many more are also expected to attend similar events in perth, hobart and brisbane. with a heavy police presence after videos emerged of a group chanting anti—jewish slogans at last week's rally. we can now speak to our correspondent phil mercer, who is in sydney. what are we expecting today? well, on the streets of sydney and the cbd, the central business district, there is rage, fear and uncertainty. thousands of people have turned out to show solidarity with the palestinian people. there is, as you indicated, a very heavy police presence. this rally was only authorised by state authorities here in new south wales on friday. and organisers of the rally are urging those in attendance to show discipline, saying that anti—semitic, anti—jewish chants and the burning of flags will not be tolerated. and clearly the conflict in the middle east is reverberating all around the world. cities in many countries are witnessing the scenes that we are seeing here in sydney today. thousands of people showing solidarity and, as you say, other pro— palestinian events are planned tod

to aberdeen , fife, perth to aberdeen, dunblane to perth .s forming here and it's pretty much in line with what sepa advised everyone earlier on today. and yesterday. stay at home, do not travel. there is expected to be power cuts. there is expected to be further significant delays to roads, travel with all the surface water. now starting to make an appearance on the roads here in the north—east of scotland . and again, i'd like to scotland. and again, i'd like to echo the point that this red weather warning hasn't even really come into full force yet. it starts at 6:00. so many will be wandering around breaking and around angus and the lower parts of grampian fesses up before the red weather warning. just what are we in for later on, tony? >> how are people where you are feeling about having to evacuate ? are they obeying the . order ? are they obeying the. order >> it certainly seems that way. and i mean down. i only had a couple of conversations and certainly nobody, understandably , it's quite a traumatic time for them to be told that the

i am in perth where an amberwarning couple of days.t of the trains up and down this part of the country, the east coast, have been cancelled. elsewhere in the country scotrail are saying there will be speed instructions, delays and cancellations. one of the big problems with this is this weather arrives so quickly after the previous storm which was just last week around the corner from here. there were properties flooded out, basically destroyed by the flood water, and yet here we are again, expectation is that it is going to be really tricky 21l hours in terms of rainfall particularly. the wind is an issue but rain is a really big problem we are expecting. thank you, stehen. problem we are expecting. thank you, stephen- we — problem we are expecting. thank you, stephen. we will— problem we are expecting. thank you, stephen. we will catch _ problem we are expecting. thank you, stephen. we will catch up _ problem we are expecting. thank you, stephen. we will catch up with - problem we are expecting. thank you, stephen. we will catch up

so i've talked to a lot of the regional people here in perth today. this was the last states that voted in australia. and they, they are deeply disappointed that their hope was really that this would have been a chance to turn things around and would really just have to look around. this is an extremely rich country process, a very rich city. but if you looked into the real communities of original people in the, in the heart of the country, you have extreme poverty there. and how to, to, to change that, that but, and to change that, that, that was the hope on the part of these people. and then adjust the moments ago, the prime minister albany is here. i can see that that, that, that boats has been lost and he made clear that now a new way forward a needs to be found in unity. but clearly that is that it's not what else trained that needs so that the solution for these people can be solved. yeah, tell us a little more gayor about the situation of indigenous peoples in australia. we heard someone in that report talking about high levels of incarceration

let me bring in now mimial laham who's a syrian activist joining us from perth. mimi elham, welcome, welcome to the program. um, taking a look at what is occurring over here, uh, the visit by the us president joe biden was nothing short as he said of all lot support for israel, even throwing uh the uh doubt about how israel may not be responsible for that masker that took place at the hospital. uh, how do you see the us support here in the in the um dimension that? iran's leader has said where he has even said that the us is in devising uh the plans that are being executed by israel, are we looking a co-op here or are we looking at israel saying it's going to go ahead with its plans and the us given a green light? i'm trying to understand the depth of the us involvement to hear from you. i think the us is basically a confused, it probably wants to rain is in but it can't do. so buse israel always been the one that controls the united states and not other way around. i believe if the us wants to reign in, they want to do it for israel, because they know the war wi

so here's the scene in perth and kinross. now, over the next few days we're going to keep that mix.nly in the north and northwest. but what we're all going to be noticing is temperatures are going to be rising as we head through the course of the weekend. now, for the rest of today, then, some rain around for parts of wales, northern england for a time. some wet weather also across scotland which is pushing north, and overnight we'll see more rain working into northern ireland, northern england, wales as well. either side of that, some drier weather, but it's going to be a mild night, much milder than last night across parts of scotland, lows between about ten to 15 degrees. more typical of daytime highs for this time of year. now, through the day tomorrow, we've still got this lingering front, so some rain for northern ireland, possibly southern scotland, northern england for a time. again, either side of that, things are looking drier, a little bit brighter to a bit of a cool northerly breeze for the northern isles. so 13 there for lerwick but up to about 23 for london and the sou

there will be no services today or tomorrow between perth and aberdeen via dundee, perth and aviemores, so far the only major closure is the forth road bridge. ferries have been affected, northlink ferries have cancelled savings today between aberdeen and 0rkney and shetland. pentland and 0rkney and shetland. pentland and 0rkney ferries have said they will be no savings today and into friday. the ferry serving the hebrides under the violence of the west of scotland are at heightened risk of disruption. let us look at the rest of the weather with carol kirkwood. storm babet has been making its presence felt, heavy rain and strong winds. that will continue through the day. the met office have its highest level of warning, red warning, in 4—4 angus, south aberdeenshire, heavy rain, coming into play at 6p on the night until noon tomorrow. all of us will see some rain over the next few days, heaviest in north in scotland and the pennines where some parts will have an excess of 100 millimetres. the rest of today, the rain still is in north—east scotland, further rain in north—east scotland,

so the met office have issued an amber heavy rain warning for this area from fort william towards perthhis frontal system that we've got here. it's going to be quite slow moving through the course of the weekend. we've already got a bit of rain out there today for northern ireland, central and southern scotland. a few splashes of rain too across parts of northern england. to the south of that it's largely dry and pretty warm, 22 degrees or so towards the south—east, but to the north of it we're typically looking at temperatures in the mid—teens. through this evening and overnight that rain becomes heavy and persistent for northern ireland, parts of scotland. also north—west england, cumbria, lancashire seeing quite a bit of rain. to the south of that some clear spells, a bit of low cloud, mist and murk drifting in around some of these irish sea coasts. a mild night wherever you are, particularly in the south, with those temperatures sitting in the mid—teens from the word go. colder conditions up towards the northern isles in the colder air here. through the day tomorrow you can see this

areas have more cloud and outbreaks of rain particularly towards the north, so this is a picture in perthinross at the moment and we'll keep with that mix so, yes, some rain in the forecast in the next few days mainly in the north, but we are going to notice the temperatures are going to notice the temperatures are going to notice the temperatures are going to be rising as we head towards the weekend. for the rest of today, a bit of wet weather out there particularly through parts of wales, northern england, scotland as well, northern ireland should see the return of a bit of sunshine, temperature is about 18 for belfast. down toward southern parts of england, highs up to around 20 or so. this evening and tonight the rain continues its progress northwards and eastwards so it's going to be a soggy night through parts of northern ireland, wales, northern england, southern scotland but either side of that some clearer spells and certainly milder than last night in the north, so most of us looking at about 10—15 as we start friday morning. friday, more rain to come with a slow moving front ac

weather warning here in the uk, and the heavy rain warning enforceable parts of aberdeenshire, dundee, perth and kinross, along with angus, where in brechin, just over the last half hour, we have had reports of 350 properties being evacuated. this isjust 350 properties being evacuated. this is just the start of what i fear it will be a very impactful weather event. it is notjust across scotland where we have these weather warnings. the red warnings, yes, it is focused across eastern scotland, but the other areas of northern scotland where some communities could see some severe flooding impacts. but there is more concentrated red weather warning area is where the rain will be so extreme that we could actually get some communities getting completely cut off by the flood waters, and i have to say, through friday and into friday night, we also have some amber weather warnings burger southwards. why is all this happening? as you mentioned, samantha, it is all down to storm babet, and essentially, this area of low pressure brings mild air that mixes with the cold air we have in scandinavia, gritti

days, a rare, top—level red met office rain warning has been issued for aberdeenshire, angus, dundee, perthut over the next few days we will also see the rain heavy enough and persistent enough to cause problems elsewhere across northern and eastern scotland and eastern areas of england. it is the accumulation of rain that is going to be the important factor. and it is notjust rain, we also got some very strong winds for eastern scotland with dusts of up to 70mph, strong enough to blow down trees, which in itself could cause some disruption. the rain turning heavier during today. in scotland, we have these amber weather warnings for heavy rain, it is among these areas where we are likely to see some flooding but this more concentrated red weather warning is an area where we are expecting some of the largest accumulations of rain partially the hills, and that is likely to lead to even bigger impacts, severe impacts, some communities could get completely cut off due to flooding. overnight tonight and into the first part of friday, that rain really coming down very, very heavily throughout the

so the met office have issued an amber heavy rain warning for this area from fort william towards pertheeing quite a bit of rain. to the south of that some clear spells, a bit of low cloud, mist and murk drifting in around some of these irish sea coasts. a mild night wherever you are, particularly in the south, with those temperatures sitting in the mid—teens from the word go. colder conditions up towards the northern isles in the colder air here. through the day tomorrow you can see this rain just continuing across much of scotland. it is going to be heavy and persistent, particularly over the hills in the west. further south, the sunshine a little bit hazy — we've got quite a lot of saharan dust in the air. but look at those temperatures, 24 to 25 possible down towards the south—east, widely in the high teens or low 20s, but for scotland, where we've got the cloud and the persistent rain and some breezy conditions, only nine degrees there in aberdeen. that contrast continues into sunday, but the frontal system will slowly lift its way further north, so an improving picture through the

some sites have seen close to a month's rainfall since friday, especially across argyll and bute, perth northern ireland, lots of blue sky and sunshine and it is felt warm for this time of year. the unseasonable warmth is set to last until at least the start of next week, then we will see some cooler air and rain will return for most of us. 0vernight tonight, it is largely dry. it is dried out across scotland, we could just see a few showers edging west, pushing down towards north—east england. misty and murky conditions developing towards irish sea coasts. it is a very mild start to the day tomorrow, temperatures remaining in double figures throughout the night. and as we head through monday, again it is quite a great start towards western coasts, but the cloud will start to lift. a lot drier of course on monday for scotland, maybe clouding over with some outbreaks of light patchy drizzle across parts of argyll and bute. temperatures starting to come up in scotland. still warm for northern ireland, for wales temperatures in the low 20s. highest temperatures for london and east anglia,
