for northern england and wales, patchy cloud, and certainly some rain edging into northern ireland and western scotla nd northern ireland and western scotland later in the night. it is a slow—moving weather front that will be trickling eastwards as we head into friday, so rain at times for western areas of scotland with rain getting in to glasgow for a time as well. further southwards, cloud getting in to glasgow for a time as well. furthersouthwards, cloud will break and we will have lots of sunshine across england and wales. it will widely feel hot and humid with temperatures expected to surge up with temperatures expected to surge up to 26 degrees. after such a hot day, those temperatures will be very slow to fall as we head through friday evening. i will show you the temperatures at 11 o'clock at night, still up at 27 degrees in london. beyond that, into the weekend across

also coming up tonight northern ireland mourns the passing of john hughes the nobel peace laureate whose life's work made it possible to turn the troubles into peace john hume genuinely was a political titan i don't think we would have to have really got the peace process going and. implemented if he hadn't been down offering help and advice. which our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and all around the world welcome we begin the day with the reality of the pandemic in germany and the people who refused to believe it on saturday the streets of central berlin were flooded with protesters who say the coronavirus pandemic is fake they demanded an end to face mass requirements social distancing rules and all measures to stop the viral spread when police moved in to disperse the crowds there were skirmishes dozens of officers were injured 3 were hospitalized now images of pandemic deniers marching through berlin have shocked the world germany has been praised for its early response to the outbreak the mortality level from the corona virus is one of the world's lowest here but that succe

but growing up in northern ireland, he began counselling with core issues and later other groups over four years. i was about 14—years—old when i first became aware that i was attracted to men and within the community, that i was a part of, it was very difficult for me to talk about that with anyone. i actually opened up to someone at a christian convention. they had known of someone that would be able to offer therapy. what was your mindset going into this type of counselling? ijust knew that i needed to get rid of this part of myself. and, really, iwent in wholeheartedly, 100%. pretty soon after it began, my mental health took a drastic turn for the worst. there's a huge pressure for you to stick with it and to keep trying to try harder, to delve deeper into the problems that might have caused this. eventually, gareth ended the therapy. he's now openly gay and in a relationship, but it took several years, he says, to move on. i felt really, really broken. there are other people out there who are going through the exact same thing. holding on to ethical values... back in northern

england, northern ireland and scotland. and there's more to come through the first part of the night. eventually, that rain starts to ease across scotland, becoming more confined to the western side, turning dry across a large swathe of england and wales, but some heavier rain settling into north wales, the north midlands and northern england through the early hours. it'll certainly be a muggy night for all of us. now, through wednesday, we still have this front lingering, bringing further spells of rain initially across parts of northern ireland, northern england, north wales. this will slowly push its way northwards through the morning, and then we start to see a second area of rain clearing eastwards through northern ireland and pushing into southern scotland, northwest england, parts of wales, the midlands, a few showers across southwest england. driest the further south and east you are, once again, it's a breezy day for all of us. and it'll still be feeling quite cool the further north and west you are, but across eas

so, through the course of the night, it's likely to turn quite wet through northern ireland and also quite mild with lots of low cloud around, so a very different feel to our weather, i think, across north—western areas as we head into tuesday. in fact, through tuesday and wednesday, it does look wetterfor a time, some significant rain around and some stronger winds. but, again, it doesn't last. so, this is the low pressure which will be responsible for that rain, 50—60 mm over the highlands of scotland, tightly packed isobars denoting some stronger winds for many through tuesday and wednesday further south as well. the rain looks it'll be a feature mostly for scotland and northern ireland, but there will be low cloud and drizzle setting in across northern england, wales, the south west, whilst southern and eastern areas may well stay largely fine and dry and warm with some sunshine around. clearly not feeling warm further north despite the mild air here and all the moisture. which will continue to fall, that rain, as we go through tuesday night and into wednesday. some uncertain

northern ireland. the vast majority looking dry. but clearly not particularly warm. but at least that northerly wind is easing, though it's still quite noticeable. the further east you are in england, but it continues to die down overnight. left overnight with some cloud around, some clear spells and temperatures dipping down once again. well down. it's single figures for some of us, maybe not quite as chilly as it was for some last night with the temperature, for example, got close to freezing in northern ireland. let's take a look then into bank holiday monday, except in scotland where it isn't, and that high pressure still in control. there'll be quite a bit of cloud around some bright or sunny spells. it'll be a dry day out there with temperatures again in the mid to just a few spots into the upper teens. there is a weather system approaching from the atlantic and it looks as if any rain from that will be very late in the day in northern ireland, but more especially overnight and into tuesday morni

this area of rain across northern ireland, process cotton, northern england three—time through the morning. this area a second then extending into north—west england, wales, the north midlands, southern scotland could be heavy through a time in the afternoon, a few showers across south—west england, drier further south—west england, drier further south and east york, a breezy day for much of the uk and still feeling cool across parts of scotland, northern ireland, we had the breeze and rain. windy 5—26 c where you have the sunshine for the south and east. here is the rain through thursday afternoon and into the evening. eventually clearing away from the north—east coast and it is all tied in with this frontal system here but it is running into an area of high pressure. as it does most of the rain tends to disappear. by the time we get to thursday what we are left with is a fair amount of cloud. mostly cloudy start for manny on thursday but that cloud will be sending and breaking through the day. we should all see some warm spells of sunshine, it should feel different. northern ir

ireland which is to say we will just now in northern ireland which is to say we willjust rely on teacher assessments. what is your view of that given the analysis you have done of how this algorithm worked? the expedition was the algorithm would have a levelling out the effect and take some of the extremes, particularly overestimation of grades out, and come up with something that was fairer. you have looked at it. indeed, there are three major issues. firstly the algorithm's plants on historical schools data meant outstanding students where few people had got top grades, were u nfa i rly people had got top grades, were unfairly capped. they have missed out on top university places as a result. an evidence for this is the attainment gap between students eligible to free school meals widened for the top grades despite assurances that they wouldn't. this had reversed here years of progress by schools. secondly this reliance oi'i by schools. secondly this reliance on historical grades and prior attainment particularly disadvantaged students at schools which have been improving. 0r which had

it will be very wet for parts of northern ireland and western scotland through the day, but it will be dry the further south and east you are with more sunshine and it will feel warmer as well. this is the culprit, this area of low pressure moving in off the atlantic, starting to bring in the rain initially to northern ireland and in scotland. quite a few isobars on the charts, will be pretty windy as well. initially that rain will be heavy, you can see the brighter colours over northern ireland, pushing across the irish sea into the far north of england and into scotland. it is western scotland, the western highlands, which is going to see the rain really piling up by the end of the day. a windy day to come as well, a0 or 50 mile an hour gusts across the north west. a breezy day further south, but as i mentioned, the further south you are, the better chance you have of staying dry, seeing the sunshine and feeling warmer, 23 or 2a degrees here. a bit disappointing further north, the mid to upper teens celsius. through tuesday night, the rain begins to slip its way southwards into much

so, through the course of the night, it's likely to turn quite wet through northern ireland and also quite mild with lots of low cloud around, so a very different feel to our weather, i think, across north—western areas as we head into tuesday. in fact, through tuesday and wednesday, it does look wetterfor a time, some significant rain around and some stronger winds. but, again, it doesn't last. so, this is the low pressure which will be responsible for that rain, 50—60 mm over the highlands of scotland, tightly packed isobars denoting some stronger winds for many through tuesday and wednesday further south as well. the rain looks it'll be a feature mostly for scotland and northern ireland, but there will be low cloud and drizzle setting in across northern england, wales, the south—west while southern and eastern areas may well stay largely fine and dry and warm with some sunshine around. clearly not feeling warm further north despite the mild air here and all the moisture. which will continue to fall, that rain, as we go through tuesday night and into wednesday. some uncertain

one or two showers dotted about through northern scotland and into northern ireland. the vast majority looking dry, but, yeah, clearly not particularly warm. but at least that northerly wind's easing, though it is still quite noticeable the further east you are in england. but it continues to die down overnight and we are left overnight with some cloud around, some clear spells, and temperatures dipping down once again, well down into single figures for some of us. maybe not quite as chilly as it was for some last night, where the temperatures, for example, got close to freezing in northern ireland. let's take a look, then, into bank holiday monday, except in scotland where it isn't, and that high pressure still in control, there will be quite a bit of cloud around. some bright sunny spells. it will be a dry day out there with temperatures again in the mid, and just a few spots into the upper teens. there is a weather system approaching from the atlantic and it looks as if any rain from that will be very late in the day in northern ireland, but more especially overnig

that means the far north of england, northern ireland and scotland stay largely dry over the next few hours, but with low cloud, there'll be some and fog patches, and maybe a little bit of drizzle around some mist and fog patches, and maybe a little bit of drizzle around some of the eastern coasts in scotland as well. for the rest of monday, the low pressure will continue to move its way in, and that will bring showers. this time, the showers will be affecting scotland and northern ireland through the afternoon, but it's further south across england and wales that the day's heaviest showers are most likely to be. 20 or 30 mm in the space of an hour. again, that's enough to cause some localised flash flooding. in between those showers and the sunshine, still feeling warm, still a little on the humid side. but we're not finished with the showery story just there, because tuesday will be another showery day. this time, the heaviest showers look more set to go in across northern england and scotland. lots of thunder and lightning, a bit of hail mixed in with some of these fewer showers in

a few afternoon showers developing in northern ireland, a few across northern scotland, perhaps a couple developing along the spine of england, but for most, it is dry. and crucially, the winds will not be as strong on wednesday as they have been on tuesday. still some gusts initially alongside eastern coasts which will ease in the afternoon. feeling a bit warmer as well. 22, 23 celsius. quite widely in the high teens for many. still around 13 or 14 for the far north of scotland. showers keep going overnight across parts of scotland, northern ireland, a few into north wales and northwest england. our eyes once again turn to the atlantic. another area of low pressure heading our way as we move into thursday. that will mean we start the day with rain across northern ireland and northern england, it could be heavy for a time. and rain starts to arrive into wales and southwest england in the afternoon. ahead of this, showers, but driest across england, and northern scotland as well. temperatures a little bit lower on thursday compared to wednesday. this area of low pressure still with us on

ireland and northern england. as we go into friday, notice these frontal systems just fringing the western side of the uk. so cooler here with some showers, maybe some longer spells of rain but elsewhere this heat is starting to build and temperatures will be rising once again on friday. much more in the way of sunshine for most on friday compared to thursday but notice these areas of showers, longer spells of rain across northern ireland, western scotland, maybe north west england but it‘s the temperatures which will be the story on friday. once again across the south—eastern quarter of the uk we could see them getting up to around 34, maybe 35 celsius. high pressure is building through the weekend, so for most of us it is going to be mainly dry, still very warm but slowly turning a little bit cooler for many through sunday. bye— bye. this is bbc news i‘m simon mccoy. the headlines. lebanon is in mourning after the huge explosion which killed at least 100 people and injured more than 4,000 others. transla

hundreds of thousands of students in england, wales and northern ireland, have received their a—level and vocational qualification results today, after major disruption caused by the coronavirus pandemic. the cancellation of exams due to lockdown meant schools and colleges were asked to estimate grades, which were then filtered by exam boards, to ensure the results were not significantly higher or lower than in previous years. in all, 78% of a—level results were a—star to c, and 28% a—star and a. but there's controversy because the figures for england show that 39% of grades were marked down, while 2% went up. those students taking vocational qualifications, such as btecs, have been receiving estimated results in recent weeks, with the department for education saying the grades are "broadly in line with previous years". here's our education editor bra nwen jeffreys. top grades were up today, a small sweet spot to set against the many marked down. this student has been rejected by all her universities. teachers estimated three bs at a—level. every one downgraded to c. i have sp
