through the central asian nations to the middle east and europe. it's a vast swathe of territory. you say that we in europe have understood far too little of it and shown far too little interest in it. but why is that so problematic? well, i don't think it's a contention. i think it's a fact. i mean, most people in the uk, if you ask them to name a chinese emperor or an arab poet or writer or persian historian or a south asian musician, film star, they can't, and although we keep hearing about how globalised we are, in fact, in practice, what that's meant is that countries that are growing are required, and they've responded well to globalisation by trying to understand other people, richer countries have tended to switch off in terms of their global exposure. so, for example, today in the uk, there are less than 1,000 students at university studying chinese, japanese, thai, turkish, arabic, persian, afghani languages, hindi, combined — less than 1,000 out of a peer group of about 800,000. and that tells you that we are not preparing particularly

probably not much rain for the east midlands, east anglia and the east midlands, east anglia and the south—east of england but it will be a windy day with gales likely in the south—west and is a southerly wind so it is unusually mild for this time of year, 13—14. the rain is the story which continues into the evening pushing eastwards, clearing away in time for the weekend where we will have a mixture of sunny spells and scattered showers. the last of the rain clears east anglia and the south—east early on saturday then it is sunshine and showers, rattling into western scotland, wales, western england, heavy and thundery, some showers elsewhere but further east, dry largely. not quite as mild on saturday, it is still windy. it stays windy into sunday, more showers in the same sort of areas so again further east in more sheltered places, more likely to be dry with sunshine. windy on sunday and a little bit cooler. george. that's all from the bbc news at six, so it's goodbye from me, and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are. hello, and welcome to sportsday

south—east till the middle pa rt and the south—east till the middle part of the afternoon and then for scotla nd part of the afternoon and then for scotland and northern ireland after the morning rain there will be sunshine and showers later on in the afternoon. gusts of wind are likely to reach about 60 miles an hour through some of these exposed irish sea coast and elsewhere about 30 mph, so certainly a noticeable wind through the day on wednesday. between nine and ii through the day on wednesday. between nine and 11 degrees, so still mild for the time of year but cooler than it has been out there today. heading through wednesday into thursday we have a brief ridge of slightly higher pressure pushing m, of slightly higher pressure pushing in, so that will squeeze most of the showers away during the day on thursday and still a few for the north west of scotland, perhaps xiao state —— south—east england and may be dry before the next area of cloud moves in on thursday. that's all from the bbc news at six. so it's goodbye from me, and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams w

it is therefore necessary to put more of the east and south—east of england into tier 4. we are also taking action in parts of the south—west where there are parts of the south—west where there a re early parts of the south—west where there are early signs of the new variant and where cases are rising. even though case rates in some of these areas are not as high as in the areas are not as high as in the areas that democrat badly affected by london, the direction is clear and stuck. the doubling times are short, and we have learned that when it comes to being a matter of when, not if we take action, it is better to act sooner. so from one minute past midnight on boxing day, sussex, 0xfordshire, suffolk, norfolk and cambridgeshire, there is parts of essex not yet in tier 4, waverly in surrey and hampshire, including portsmouth and southampton, but with the exception of the new forest, will all be escalated to tier 4. bristol, gloucestershire, somerset, including the north somerset council area, swindon, the isle of wight, the new forest and northamptonshire, as well

if anything, north—east, much less rapid increase. ifanything, more north—east, much less rapid increase. if anything, more flat epidemic. that cannot last. and as the infection spreads more widely i think we are going to see other regions start to see accelerations in the epidemic, and i think we are already possibly beginning to see that in the east midlands and west midlands, where there are suggestions that the epidemic is taking off, and i don't know for certain but that might be because this variant virus is already starting to spread in those areas. but we will have to wait to see before the real data is shared. earlier this week, they were parts of the north that were arguing they do not need to go into tier 3 because their figures as you said are plateauing, sometimes coming down. what would your advice be then having just told us about the expected pattern of movement of transition of the new variant?” think it would be a very, very brave decision to allow any local authority at the moment to move down authority at the m
