a few fog patches across scotland, northern ireland, they were clear. sunny spells through much of the day and it should feel quite pleasant out there in the sunshine. temperatures widely into the low if not mid—20s. but the changes will be on the way, friday and into the weekend this area of low pressure from iceland combines forces with one pushing out of france and with it, the greater chance of rain. exactly where that rain will be firmed up as we go through the next few days. for friday, it looks like it is just going to be a scattering of showers developing as we go through the day. may be heavy and thundery towards the south. the greatest chance of rain in the west of scotland maybe heavy and thundery towards the south. the greatest chance of rain in the west of scotland and northern ireland later in the day. whilst winds have eased in the south, very pleasant in the sunny spells, the winds are picking up further north and those winds will take up further into the weekend. a0 mile per hour gusts across some parts of scotland. we will see shower

the best of the sunshine is in scotland and northern ireland. but this rash of showers just coming up across the channel at the moment is the main cause for concern and that amber weather warning will be valid until 10pm. gradually, the showers will ease away and as we go through the night, the winds will freshen to the north and west and we'll see some showery outbreaks of rain arriving here. temperatures will hold up more widely into double figures to greet us first thing on thursday. thursday will start off pretty overcast for many. the best of the sunshine likely to be in the south and east, but there will be some sharper showers further north and west and a freshening wind as well. that is it, take care. hello. this is bbc news. i'm martine croxall and these are the headlines... uk pricesjumped by 10.1% in the 12 months tojuly — that's the highest rate of inflation for 40 years. basic food items made the biggest contribution to the increase. some business owners say they're having to reduce their opening hours and stop taking wages for th

it's certainly fresher for scotland and northern ireland, but still very warm and humid across much of england and wales as we start off on tuesday. through the day on tuesday, though, low pressure really does come to take hold across the uk. it's a messy weather picture. what does that mean? well, it means it's quite hard for us to pin down the exact details of where the rain will sit through the day. but basically, it's a chance of showers just about anywhere across england and wales, and they're likely to be thundery. for scotland and northern ireland, more cloud around and some outbreaks of rain and quite a cool northerly breeze — quite a difference to recent days, and we've lost that 30 celsius in eastern england. by wednesday, well, low pressure still close by, but it's focused very much to the south of the uk — high pressure, in fact, tries to sneak back in across scotland and northern ireland. wednesday looks dry for scotland and northern ireland, if cloudy at times, and it looks like any early showers will clear from northern england and wales. but a real focus perhaps on

and northern ireland. for cloud across england and wales on wednesday and widespread showers which will concentrate on the south—east of england and east anglia into the afternoon, torrential downpours possible locally here. cooler than today, fine elsewhere for wales, northern england, northern ireland and scotland thanks to that area of high pressure. at the end of the weekly look to the atlantic for incoming weather, low—pressure to the north, a keen westerly wind which will keep us fresher compared to what we have been used to lately, temperatures much closer to average. thursday looking like the western side of the uk will be favoured for rain, the east becoming dry again so there was not much rainfall for yorkshire despite the heavy downpours across the uk, that is the problem with the rain coming in, it will not necessarily burst those drought issues, lots of rain needed before that. friday looks like being dry again with showers towards the north—west, far more normal than for a while, high t

lots of sunshine to come here, also decent amounts of sunshine for wales, parts of northern ireland. further east we will see more in the way of cloud, could be one or two afternoon showers but there is confirmation of that fairly brisk breeze and some low temperatures across northern and eastern parts. 15 for aberdeen, 25 degrees in cardiff. as we look further ahead, high—pressure will remain with us for a good part of the coming week but we will see one low to the south. that could introduce some showers and by the end of the week, chances are that the frontal system from the west will introduce outbreaks of rain. so there is the increasing chance of rain as we get towards the end of the week and after a rather cool couple of days for some, temperatures will climb a little. this is bbc news i'm simon pusey. our top stories: the heaviest monsoon rains in decades — a national emergency in pakistan after millions of people were forced from their homes. a truck crashes into a street party in the netherlands killing three people. the driver is arrested. serbia and kosovo agree to al

so was not ireland at all ireland not treat stop treating different countries differently. the small countries that do this think it is great because even a tiny percentage of these and billionss of dollars of profit s great for these little tiny countries. it is all in international espressure that sometimes they force these companies to do something differently. no ireland legitimately has a corporate tax rate of only 12ng and half% which is far less than the united states or other countries. either they treat all companies fairly there's a lower tax rate in ireland than any other place. is not the matter of shell countries pulling the rug outt' from anybody it's the bigger countries, the united states or in this case it was germany and assisting these other countries stop doing things that are causing other countries to lose tax revenue. >> i will just pick up on that. janet yellen the treasury secretary made a speech she called for a minimum global tax it's a big deal for the u.s. treasury secretary to come out. she suggested the minimum tap of 21%. the fact that the un
