the kyrgyz government told the bbc: azimjan was buried in uzbekistan on the muslim festival of eid al—fitrieved holding the ceremony on a holy day was a good sign for his spirit. well, it's certainly been cold in the last couple of days. we've snow, particularly across northern parts of the uk. but here's the good news if you don't like the cold. it is going to feel a lot better on wednesday. we won't have that cold northerly wind. we won't have that windchill, which we've been experiencing for a couple of days now. but the arctic air has spread right across the continent into northern parts of the mediterranean as well, so it's quite a widespread outbreak of cold arctic air. now, through the early hours you can see clear skies across much of the country. still a few wintry showers there across parts of scotland. but lighter winds, clear skies, a frost as well. temperatures in some cities down to around —2 or —3 celsius early on wednesday morning. so wednesday's looking something like this, lots of bright, sparkling sunshine first thing in the morning. but the clouds will build through the

the kyrgyz government told the bbc: azimjan was buried in uzbekistan on the muslim festival of eid al—fitrly believed holding the ceremony on a holy day was a good sign for his spirit. hello. we may have said farewell to some of the high temperatures we saw just a few days ago, but the easter weekend has started with some relative warmth, and parts of highland scotland on saturday got up to 17 degrees. but you can say goodbye to that sort of temperature over the next few days because things are going to turn much colder and those parts of highland scotland that were quite warm on saturday could well be covered in snow by the time we get into monday. now, the change to colder conditions will come behind this weather front, this cold front, way up to the north on easter sunday morning, so for most it is a fine—looking day, quite a chilly start, but we'll see some spells of sunshine. but cloud will thicken into northern ireland and parts of scotland and that weather front i've showed you will start to bring outbreaks of rain across northern areas later in the day. temperatures on easter sunda

azimjan was buried in uzbekistan on the muslim festival of eid al—fitr. holding the ceremony on a holy day was a good sign for his spirit. good evening. it's been another gloriously sunny day for some. let's take a look at where we had the best of the sunshine. much of eastern scotland today saw temperatures climb up just shy of 17 degrees. totally different story, unfortunately, across the north norfolk coast. with quite a lot of cloud, temperatures struggled to peek above seven celsius. and you can see that clearly on the satellite picture. we did have an improvement through the midlands and down towards dorset, but it's this window of clear skies that's going to just drift a little bit further south overnight, and that's where we'll see the lowest temperatures. so starting to see a change into the far north of scotland, as cloud arrives here, and that's going to prevent the temperatures from falling much lower than 5—6 degrees. but maybe across the midlands and parts of wales, we could see temperatures around freezing, a touch of light frost not out of

the kyrgyz government told the bbc: azimjan was buried in uzbekistan on the muslim festival of eid al—fitred holding the ceremony on a holy day was a good sign for his spirit. hello there. it's likely to be a dry day for most of the united kingdom today but there will be contrasts. where we keep the cloud as we had yesterday, temperatures will be held into high single figures, but in the sunshine, potentially 14—15. now, under the starry skies, that's where we see the frost as we start this saturday morning, but you can see the thicker cloud across northern scotland, central and eastern england, perhaps east wales. and there could also be a little bit of mist and fog where we've kept the clear skies as well. but the day is likely to give us quite a bit of cloud across central and eastern areas. it's likely to lift a little as we go through the day and the skies brighten. similarly so across northern scotland, we keep quite a bit. for the likes of lincolnshire, east anglia and the south east, though, it could remain overcast all day. and with that keen breeze still quite gusty through the c

the kyrgyz government told the bbc: azimjan was buried in uzbekistan on the muslim festival of eid al—fitrg the ceremony on a holy day was a good sign for his spirit. —— al—adha. his family believed holding the ceremony on a holy day was a good sign for his spirit. hello there. it was a cold, frosty start on wednesday with some early sunshine but the cloud arrived as we went through the day and we closed out wednesday with quite a lot of cloud around, acting like a blanket through the night, so temperatures not falling quite as far. and in actual fact, the wind direction changing for thursday to more of a westerly, and that's going to drive something a little less cold across the country with the darker blues, the colder air, just being pushed out of the way — for one day at least. also got some rain arriving with this area of low pressure, the wettest and windiest of the weather always going to be the far north—west for thursday. so, quite a lot of rain around, the wind strengthening here. and thicker cloud along west—facing coasts of wales and south—west england will always bring the ris

again it is obscuring the real story of hunter biden's relationships when it comes to china and, uzbekistantan. elizabeth: making millions of dollars in business dealings and burying in shell companies. hunter can remember minor details, accidentally smoking parmesan cheese thinking it was crack, but can't remember details about his laptop. if he has such selective memory, why would you want to buy his book? what do you think? final worried. >> selective memory loss. i have to believe he probably did forget he dropped the laptop off for some period of time because it is incredibly damning piece of potential evidence. frankly i think it would be memorable if you smoked parmesan cheese as your drug of choice. i don't totally discount that but these were softball questions he couldn't field without looking like he is waffling, the laptop, is the laptop from hell. it has incredibly important, damaging evidence on it. elizabeth: drug addiction is a serious thing but this is a bigger story about influence peddling here. we hear exactly what you're saying, jim trusty. thanks for coming on. come ba

uzbekistan, what agreements with any of the neighboring countries to base our forces and conduct lethal strikes or surveillance? do we have any currently? >> at this time we have none of those agreements in place. >> do you think it would have been optimal to have those agreements before we announced to the world we're going to zero in a few months? >> i can't speak to that. we're engaged in an effort to evaluate where we want to put ct forces and the diplomatic angle of it. >> i think we need to be clear with the american people that when the military goes, our intelligence assets go, the central intelligence and our contracts go with estimates of 15,000 to 20,000. what's the plan for the continuing presence of those critical contract sources? >> most are going to leave. we'll try to ways to do distant contracting where we can. clearly some things we're not going to be able to do anymore as contractors leave and i don't want to minimize that. >> and it's important for everyone to understand that those contractors were providing maintenance, for example, for the blackhawks we provided t

from an aircraft carrier parked off southern pakistan or if we're able to get a base perhaps in uzbekistan fly our armed aircraft from it most likely. i think afghanistan is in for difficult times. i'm reassured it was a tough decision. there were no good choices. there were only bad choices or least bad. but i think the least bad frankly would have been to maintain a sustainable measured in the expenditure of blood and treasure, sustained commitment and that's what's needed. >> bill: isis built the caliphate in less than three years. i don't know if that's the same fate for afghanistan. maybe six months this time around. it will be 20 years in september. what do you think is the right answer for us and our interests? >> again, i think we should have learned from 20 years of war with islamist extremists. ungoverned spaces will be exploited. the u.s. needs to lead with a coalition that includes muslim countries but you have to have a sustained commitment. this is not the fight of a decade much less a few years, it is a generational struggle. the question is how efficient and effective can y

we're going to look to establish agreements in uzbekistan, pakistan as well as turkmenistan, somewherefghanistan. we've lost robust intelligence platform that we had there, and certainly the other thing is that it was from our bases there that we attacked the al-qaeda in pakistan, and we've been so successful all these years, you know, keeping those guys in their holes. and we don't want a new refuge and safe haven established in afghanistan. to be able to do this from other countries is high risk. those options need to be flushed out. it's not very good. we're not going to have as good intelligence. the operations are going to be completely much more complicated than what they are now. we're playing a very weak hand. the result of the united states leaving afghanistan and southern asia is that russia, iran and china are going to reap the benefits of our moving out of that area. and it's sad to see, not to speak of what's going to happen to the afghan security forces and the government of afghanistan which, it's possibl, would likely fall to the taliban. brian: i know chairman millie s
