centre, goodbye. hello there. today looks a lot better across the south of the uk than what we had on tuesday.drier and warmer — certainly warmer on thursday across the board — but it will be short—lived as low pressure brings a return to cooler, showery conditions friday and the weekend. high pressure�*s building in across the country, as you move through the day today, there will be variable amounts of cloud in places, particularly towards the south and the west. but some good spells of sunshine across northern, central, and eastern areas. a bit of fairweather cloud is bubbling up into the afternoon, so it will be one of patchy cloud and sunny spells. it will be turning warmer, a bit more humid in the south — 2a celsius in the southeast, a little bit warmer, as well, across some northern areas, but it will stay quite windy for the northern isles. as you move through wednesday night, we see a lot of dry weather around — clear skies, variable cloud. we'll start to import some warmer, more humid air from the south, so we're into the mid—teens, northern ireland, england and wales even much milde

the reason it was such a big issue is that the two air traffic control centres in the uk, one at swanwickntic, etc. that is why it was such a big disruption because it wasn'tjust an individual airport, wasn't just an individual airport, it wasn'tjust an individual airport, it was the whole of the uk airspace that was affected. these outages and this flight data processing system used to be, and talking ten or 12 years ago, relatively common. it was badly managed at the time and it really needed to be simplified and updated. that has happened and the system has run very smoothly and has been updated and updated since then. i'm quite curious about what the problem was that brought the system down because it's something that hasn't happened for probably the best part of a decade. yes. best part of a decade. yes, interesting. _ best part of a decade. yes, interesting. kelly, - best part of a decade. yes, interesting. kelly, let's- best part of a decade. yes, l interesting. kelly, let's come best part of a decade. yes, - interesting. kelly, let's come back to you because we still have so many

that was jamie from the national hurricane - from the national hurricane centre speaking to my colleague. in the ukletby was able to murder babies will now have greater powers to compel witnesses to give evidence. ministers upgraded the independent inquiry into a statutory inquiry led by a judge, after criticism from the victims' families that it didn't go far enough. our social affairs correspondent, michael buchanan, reports. hello, lucy, is it? can i step in for two seconds? yes. thank you. lucy letby seemed bewildered by her arrest, but what she did and why she killed, she has never explained to the families of her many victims. over 12 months, the nurse killed seven vulnerable babies and attempted to murder six others. the scale of her crimes are such that the health secretary says the inquiry into what happened will now have greater powers. we will have a statutory inquiry into the letby murders, into the events at chester. that will be a judge led inquiry, as the prime minister has confirmed, and that reflects the wishes of the families, which i discussed with them. those that worked alongsi

uk/sport. from me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, goodbye. this this is bbc news.arkinson — one of the biggest names in television has died at the age of 88. he launched his chat show �*parkinson' in 1971, marking the beginning of an on—screen career that would last decades. by his own account, he interviewed more than 2000 celebrities during that time. many tributes have been paid to sir michael parkinson. the actress and singer, elaine paige said he was "a legendary interviewer". he'll be remembered as "the best of his profession. we will never see his like again." the comedian, eddie izzard, described sir michael as the "king of the intelligent interview". meanwhile — sir david attenborough said — he was extremely professional, you knew he would know all the background and you didn't have to fill in anything. he was extremely generous, he wanted you to shine and would always laugh at yourjokes and give you an opportunity to make them sound funnier than in fact they were. and sir eltonjohn said... lord grade — michael grade — knew sir michael parkinson over many

for covid in the united states according to data from the us centre for disease control and prevention — that's up 60% sincejuly. in the ukn subvariant eris has become the predominant covid strain in the us. while health agencies in the uk, us, denmark, and israel are have also detected the emergence of a new highly—mutated strain of the virus. earlier, i spoke with dr peter hotez, co—director of the texas children's hospital centre for vaccine development and dean of the national school of tropical medicine at baylor college of medicine. dr hotez, thank you so much for being here to discuss these new variants. and i guess there's a couple of new ones that we're actually seeing around the world. there's a one in the us, the eris variant, and then there's also a new one in the uk. have you been tracking these, and how concerned are you now about the appearance of a couple of what look to be new strains of covid? well, you know, most of them are variants of what's been known as xbb, which is a shoot—off of 0micron that first took off in the winter of 2022. so eg5, which is also eris and also known as eris, as well as the xb

and this is how it's going to barrel across the uk during the course of the weekend, and the closer you are to the centreperhaps the irish sea, wales, maybe the south, too, whereas many central and eastern parts of the uk should wake up to a bright, if not sunny, weather saturday morning with temperatures around 15—16 degrees. so a pleasant start to the day. and here's saturday itself — quite brisk winds around western coasts with these atlantic winds and a mixture of sunshine and showers. some of them could be heavy, could be a crack of thunder, most lengthy spells of sunshine, i think, in the south. and this pattern will continue into sunday as well. so, again, the closer are to the centre of the low, the more frequent the showers will be and generally out towards the west, too. so london, norwich, hull probably faring best with fine weather, some spots could actually get away with a completely dry weekend. now, let's have a look at monday. the low pressure's still with us, but it is fizzling away. still have a weather front here, so that does mean that across east anglia and the southeast for a time o

sim stryker and this training centre which is called a smart facility are the work of uk company agd.litary veterans, the tech they have designed has been informed by their own experience in the field. the physical aspect of this activity sets it apart from purely tech—based training solutions like virtual reality simulators. we really recognise that virtuality offers huge potential when it comes to training, delivery and exposure, but it's got to be applied properly. having people in headsets with gaming controllers, whilst it can be good for some things, we don't think it's actually representative of the soldier training in a physicalfacility. to change a magazine, for example. it's still a very dexterous skill that requires lots of practice. where we're taking it is being able to blend the virtual world and blend the physical world. so because we collect data inside of our facilities, we can use that data to provide a real—time virtual picture of everything that's happening inside of that facility. from that, we can start to introduce assets like drones, for instance. so it's bring
