some wintry showers particularly across north wales northwards. we could see a more persistent spell of snow for a time across southern scotland and north—west england on monday afternoon, something we will need to keep an eye on. temperatures again not much higher than 4—7 celsius for many but at least the winds will be slightly lighter. as we go from monday to tuesday, still the north westerly airflow, feeding plenty of wintry showers in across scotland and northern ireland, northern england. we will be keeping an eye on this system developing across the continent. that could bring some outbreaks of rain to channel coasts. but not far away from the cold air, so a chance we could see some snow almost anywhere on tuesday and some fairly frequent snow showers across northern and western scotland, northern ireland, north—west england, down into parts of wales, maybe even into the midlands and east anglia. again, it will be a cold day, with temperatures for some not much higher than three or four. fewer showers for a time on wednesday but they

maybe the far north of wales. ahead of it, mainly dry, some bright or sunny spells but it is the strength of the wind we are most concerned about on monday afternoon. this is an idea of gusts on monday. but for parts of northern scotland, we could well see their gusts touching 70 may be locally 80 miles an hourfora time. briefly it is a bit milder. ten or 11 celsius on monday afternoon but not for long, because as our bands of rain move their way southwards and tend to fizzle out behind it, we‘ll see some colder air. that could bring a few wintry showers to the northern isles of scotland through tuesday, slowly those winds start to lose some of their strength by wednesday. further south it is going to be in mainly dry. there will be some spells of sunshine on tuesday and wednesday but after that brief milder spell, things get much colder again midweek. that is all from me. bye— bye. the family of lipa marais the 51—year—old man fatally stabbed on a train yesterday say it was a pointless attack, a man has b

from south wales suffolk and this evening. it looks like in parts of the country, the snow could be serious enough to cause some real problems. as we saw in those pictures, just an example of the chaos that we can see and we don't see snow very often across the southern parts of england so when it happens, we try to be as prepared as we can but we are just not used to driving in this situation. it is the uncertainty of knowing how to drive in the snow and ice. and we are also talking about ice but also that ice is has been a problem as this clears away. we already see temperatures across scotland down to —9. it will not be as cold as last night, ice will still be a problem though once the snow is gone. thank you. the headlines on bbc news... there's an amber weather warning as freezing termperatures and snow hit wales and southern england this evening. the foreign secretaryjeremy hunt says the uk may need extra time to negotiate brexit — if a deal isn't agreed quickly enough. and there's been an increase in calls to a suic

england and wales so the for ashley giles... as we sit here now, do you believe england will win the world cup? i believe we can win the world cup, and the ashes but it's a very different thing. should... this year creates the best opportunity for a long time. how we are playing cricket, we found ourselves in the past running into world cups with suddenly that of a meltdown going on and change, and that's not the case this time around. you talk about my role again, as much as anything, the train is moving quickly across the tracks for the world cup and i need to make sure that down the line, it is clear, there is no in —— interference that is going to derail us. one of the key jobs giles has is to get a new england coach in september, october and told me he was open to the idea of the role being split between test matches and white ball cricket, even though when england tried that before and ashley giles had been the white ball coach, it ended in giles losing hisjob. stephane peterha nsel won stage 3 of the dakar rally in th

again, much of england and wales will be cloudy, but dry. the best of the sunshine perhaps to the eastern side of the pennines, up into the eastern side of scotland. temperatures nothing to write home about for the time of year, pretty average, four to around seven, the exception the western isles of scotland. but here, late in the day, the cloud thickens all the while, so too into northern ireland, and you eventually end up with a wee bit of rain. i don't think it's going to amount to very much at all. it's tied in with that weather front, which, as we move from saturday into sunday, will just tumble its way through the area of high pressure, tending to lose what little potency it had. and you'll notice that one portion was away towards the continent. another eventually flicks back towards northern ireland, so maybe some brightness here for a time, but then the cloud comes back later in the day. enough about the cloud for there to be the odd spot of rain, perhaps, across the heart of england and wales. the best of the sunshine in the day fu

further south, into england and wales and for parts of northern ireland, we've got that weak weather front so it stays cloudy, for most of us anyway, with outbreaks of rain and a little bit of hill sleet and snow continuing, particularly across this north—east corner of england. but as we head through the course of today, that weather front will continue to weaken. many places should turn drier but hold onto a legacy of cloud, but we should start to see some heavy showers developing across south wales and in towards south—west england with a few sunny spells — that could push temperatures up to 10 degrees here, but elsewhere, it's going to be rather chilly, despite the sunshine across the far north of scotland. and then through saturday night, it turns drier for most, but again, we continue to see quite a bit of cloud around, a little bit of fog, and even some freezing fog across northern parts of the country. once again, it'll be quite chilly under clear skies with some frost, maybe even a risk of ice. as we head on into sunday, we're in between weather systems. pressure will
