this is vauxhall bridge as it makes its way over the thames, the us embassy on the other side.e pro—palestinian protest. hello. after that misty and frosty start, it's actually turning out to be a very nice day across most of the uk — crisp with sunshine. it's not going to last, though. tomorrow we are expecting thicker cloud and outbreaks of rain, at least across some parts of the country. you can see the weather front approaching our neck of the woods here. the weather map showing that weather front later on today nudging into south—western parts of the uk, but ahead of it, as i say, a lot of fine weather. this is what it looks like for the rest of today. clear conditions across the bulk of the country, temperatures of around ten degrees, but come the evening we are expecting that rain to reach cornwall, devon. it will nudge into wales as well late in the evening, then overnight possibly reaching northern ireland and also the midlands, as well as southern england. to the north of that, clearskies, light winds, a touch of frost widely across scotland and northern england. with

they'll go across the vauxhall bridge and down to the vauxhall bridge and down to the us embassy .idge and down to the us embassy. now in the vauxhall bridge and down to the us embassy . now in terms of the us embassy. now in terms of the us embassy. now in terms of the protests itself, they are allowed to assemble at the us embassy , but they need to be embassy, but they need to be away from the us embassy by 515, according to the metropolitan police. now that is always a potential flashpoint in terms of the end of a protest when there is a dispersal time that people are given to go there. sometimes those who just don't want to leave . and even though i can say leave. and even though i can say with confidence , the vast, vast with confidence, the vast, vast majority of people here are not going to cause trouble , there going to cause trouble, there will be those, sadly , a hard will be those, sadly, a hard core that will look for trouble . core that will look for trouble. and it really only needs a hundred couple of people to cause potential problems for the metropolitan police. a

>> i live near >> well, i live very near vauxhall bridge. 15 vauxhall bridge.ute cycle, so i went down on my bicycle to having been to visit my world war two veterans. i because it's i thought i need to because it's very difficult, it, very difficult, isn't it, finding way the finding a way through the quagmire media and quagmire on social media and indeedin quagmire on social media and indeed in some of our newspapers papers. with a friend papers. so i went with a friend who doesn't think this should be a ceasefire in palestine. i would ceasefire. so i'm would like a ceasefire. so i'm going be transparent about going to be transparent about that. it's important to that. and it's important to always other, always go with your other, i think. we went to look to think. and we went to look to see see how this march i didn't see see how this march i didn't see the counter demonstrations only march. only the pro—palestine march. several things struck me. and i also talked to a lot of police on ground, you can on the ground, as you can imagine. up and had imagine. i

they will eventually cross vauxhall bridge to make their way to the us embassy.nt stream of people, a sea of people is the only way describe it. i think it will take, i have no idea how long will take, i have no idea how long will take, i have no idea how long will take the mould to make their way out of hyde park, but there are hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people here. it does illustrate the strength of feeling that there is in some parts of the community, we know how divisive this issue is, but this is a demonstration of the strength of feeling on one side of that argument about what is happening at the moment in gaza. people are carrying placards, calling for free palestine, and their main focus on today and has been over the previous marchers is to call for our full and permanent ceasefire in gaza. the mood on the ground i would say is peaceful. we have not seen any trouble, we are not seeing huge numbers of police. there are children here, young people here, there are people in prams and pushchairs. on the ground it doesn't feel like a threatening s

course, begin from hyde park, go down park lane to hyde park corner and then make its way across vauxhall bridgeot to be hoped , of course, that people hoped, of course, that people stick to that route. listen, there's one issue, of course, about whether this march on the timing that it's taking place of today, whether that's disrespectful, that's one thing and one argument. the other issue is whether this march is going to be violent. and i think the vast majority we can say with certainty the vast majority of people that will be on this march will not be in any way violent , will not interested violent, will not be interested in making life difficult for the police or their surrounds. but it only ever takes a couple of hundred idiots to cause some real issues. i just want to give you a shot down there. you can see actually just some of the police are here now. these police who are here now. these are some the smaller are just some of the smaller police carriers, the police vans , just for the officers that are here. what you're not seeing are the officers who are in the side streets in the lar

where we are actually is just it's a row of police vans that are blocking off the north end of vauxhall bridgepro palestinian protesters getting down towards the cenotaph , but also to stop some cenotaph, but also to stop some of these counter—protests getting up to here to meet this main march. we can give you a look just down through this officer , if he doesn't mind, officer, if he doesn't mind, down through to that area there, you can see another cordon of police vans and officers there. i think the counter—protesters that were there have moved on now. they were just at one of the pubs, just on the corner there for a while . the officers there for a while. the officers did have their helmets on for a while as well . so an indication while as well. so an indication perhaps that things were looking a little bit hairy for a while, but it certainly seems to have calmed down. can't actually see many people at all on that corner. now, it may be that they've moved back down towards westminster itself. as i say , westminster itself. as i say, nana, there was a couple of flash points earlier down t
