our scotland correspondent james shaw told us more. there are a couple of things that are really important, one of course is covid recovery. as far as nicola sturgeon is concerned, the pandemic is still very much happening at the moment, cases have been increasing in scotland as schools have gone back and universities are going back as we speak. there are issues about the loss of furlough and the loss — the drop in universal credit and all those issues the scottish government will be concerned about. and climate change, the snp now have a power—sharing arrangement with the scottish green party and that will certainly affect the agenda that she will talk about today, in particular because we have cop26, this hugely important climate summit coming up in glasgow injust two months' time. and then of course, independence, the question of whether or not there will be an independence referendum. nicola sturgeon and the snp want one by the end of 2023. borisjohnson has made it very clear he is not going to give scotland an independence ref

so it's not a controversy just confined to scotland, these are just adding to theissues scotland, these are just adding to the issues facing them. after that, stephen was effectively sacked by nicola sturgeon, the scottish first minister, as was revealed in a book that i just minister, as was revealed in a book that ijust published along with my colleagues last week. so there's been controversy, and the article in the daily mail is quite powerful, and there is a quote that talks about the leadership of the met acting like they are above the law — very problematic for politicians seem to be interfering in the day—to—day running of how police forces should manage themselves. they should be operationally independent. but it's going to be a testing, testing time for priti patelin testing, testing time for priti patel in the uk government with this kind of pressure upon them about the relationship with the met. it’s kind of pressure upon them about the relationship with the met.— relationship with the met. it's one of those interesting _ relationship with the met. it's one of those

pretty wet in the north—east of scotland. many other areas have showers becoming fewer, quite warm and muggy air, so there will be some mist and fog by the morning. that will lift, there won't be an awful lot of sunshine, mind you, on friday. not many showers to begin with but as we head into the afternoon though showers develop more widely. perhaps not as many as today, across wales in the south—west of inman, but more showers will push on across eastern england, and again they could be heavy and thundery. before the showers arrive there, temperature still quite warm for this time of year. it does get cooler but drier over the weekend. we've still got rain on saturday across northern most parts of scotland. elsewhere, fewer showers, like to showers, just a little bit of sunshine coming through. it is cooling off in scotland and northern ireland but still quite warm across more southern and eastern parts of england. heading into sunday, the rain has gone from northern scotland. you could get a few showers in southern scotla

eastern scotland until very late in the day. the rain moving into northern ireland, too, the east staying mainly dry until later on. temperatures for england and wales in the low to mid 20s in those sunny spells. so, a wet evening and scotland and northern ireland. monday, some of this rain will push on towards parts of northern england. it will be a mild start to monday. and this wet weather system will slowly fizzle out as we go on through monday. we're left with some patchy rain towards the west of northern ireland and western parts of scotland. still a fair amount of cloud here, whereas for england and wales, there'll still be sunny spells, though it could still be quite misty around some of the coasts of southwest england. and the temperatures in the sunshine in england and wales a little bit higher, reaching into the upper 20s in the warmer spots. and the warmth becomes more widespread for tuesday and wednesday. clearer, warmer weather heading in from the southeast around that ridge of high pressure. there'll some mist and

own audit scotland has called for more money neededin scotland has called for more money needed in these because he social care system, an independent review of adult social care has said that more money needs to be provided. there is a union dividend from this policy in that scotland, wales and northern ireland will benefit from an average of 50% more than is generated by their residence —— 15%, £300 million a year on average. mr deputy speaker, the government has acknowledged that this policy involves a breach of the manifesto. it has done so directly, plainly, honestly. but i would put it to the house that in a deeper sense this measure serves to redeem a promise and to discharge an obligation. it is a profoundly conservative thing to do to provide for future generations without taxing, increasing borrowing, without increasing borrowing, without increasing spending and anyway that is sustainable and which grips a net or that for too many years has been ignored by the party opposite, and with that in mind i commend this mission to the house —— grips a nettle. mission to the ho

so we've had these weather fronts bringing more cloud today across scotland and northern ireland, and one across east anglia in the southeast — they will tend to fizzle out overnight, leaving some patchy cloud around, but lengthy, clear skies, and winds for most across the northwest of scotland will be light. so it'll turn quite chilly out of town, but where you have the cloud, just about into double figures. and we'll see a bit of mist and fog developing here and there. so for tuesday, we've got high pressure really dominating this scene across much of the country, this deep area of low pressure passing well to the north of the uk. will introduce stronger winds though to the north and west of scotland, so here it'll turn breezier in the day with variable amounts of cloud. but elsewhere, after a cool start with early mist and fog, it's a lovely day, lots of sunshine around. 20 celsius in aberdeen, could see 21—22 celsius in central and southern england, perhaps south wales, as well. now as we move out of tuesday into wednesday, this is where we start to see some changes across the

wet across northern scotland. temperatures are, as i say, starting to drop away, a fresher feel and a generally quite fairly brisk breeze blowing. that weather front weekends as it heads south on sunday, but there is the fly in the ointment — this area of low pressure and how far north and east it will spread its influence, spread its rains by the time we get to sunday. cloudier for the eastern side of england and scotland on that weakening weather front, but drier further north and brighter. it'll be a little bit fresher. fewer showers for northern ireland, we feel, and further east across england as well, some drier weather. and it could be that that weather front gets stuck across western areas, so even by monday, most of the rain is in the west. as i say, there's quite a lot of uncertainty surrounding that next area of low pressure at this stage. so, as ever, there's more on the website, including the warnings, and we'll keep you up—to—date. tonight at ten — the head of m15 warns the taliban's takeover

scotland deserves or better. there is clearly no chance of a recovery under this prime minister and under this westminster -- [inaudible] isn't it the case, mr. speaker, that the only way to protect scotland from a regressive tax hike is to become an independent country -- [inaudible conversations] appear strong and equal for the people of scotland. >> well, mr. speaker, i don't think that is the right priority for this country or for the people of scotland, and i just remind him, actually, the words of the deputy leader of the scottish government who welcomed when the labour government put up -- [inaudible] national health service, he said i'm absolutely delight that the chancellor of the exchequer has accepted the progressive taxation in required -- [inaudible] in scotland, mr. speaker. and he needs to get his story straight. this is more cash for people in scotland, it's more investment for families in scotland. it's good for scotland, and it's good for the whole of the united kingdom. >> [inaudible] >> thank

clear spells developing in western scotland. around towards wales and western and southern parts of england, there could be a few mist and fog patches, and temperatures around 10—14 degrees. we start with a lot of dry weather tomorrow, and more sunshine around in england and wales. it won't be clear everywhere. still cloud brushing the english channel, but on the whole, it will be a sunnier day. sunny spells and southern and eastern scotland for a time. in western scotland, a freshening breeze and outbreaks of rain. a cloudy day with outbreaks of rain. a cloudy day with outbreaks of rain. in the sunshine, lows have mid—20s for the top temperatures. the rain in scotland will reach across all parts as we go into the evening, and overnight into monday, the system installed and wiggles away through parts of northern england and scotland and northern ireland. the rest of england and wales, it will be even warmer by monday. we start to reach the upper 20s in the warm spots. this warmth is going to feed its way northwards into tues

bit of mist and fog to start the day for scotland and northern ireland, and then it'll turn cloudier and windier for western scotland, perhaps western northern ireland, with some light and patchy rain here. but eastern scotland, eastern northern ireland, most of england and wales, fine and dry with some sunshine. and again, feeling quite warm, temperatures into the low 20s celsius. into tuesday night, it starts to turn cloudier, windier and wetter across the northwest of the uk. further south, closer to high pressure, winds will be lighter, there will be some clear spells again, one or two chilly spots, but a bit milder further north and west. this is where we start to see the changes, then, around the middle part of the week. indeed, it's on cue during the autumn equinox, with some rain and strong winds pushing in to scotland, northern and western areas, and then this band of rain will move southwards into northern ireland, southern scotland later in the day. behind it, sunshine, blustery showers, gales here. to the south of this rain band, though, for the majority of england and wa

gusts across western scotland for a time in excess of 50mph. through the day, we will see cloud, we will see outbreaks of showery rain on and off with some drier interludes. best chance of any sunshine across northeast scotland and maybe for a time in the far southeast of england. those are the average wind speeds through the afternoon. gusts will be stronger than that. temperatures ranging from 13 degrees in aberdeen to 17 in cardiff and in plymouth. now, through thursday night, we will see more cloud, more showery rain, and then through the early hours of friday, it looks like we'll have a band of really heavy rain and potentially some quite squally winds that will start to work eastwards, but a much milder night in prospect, with temperatures for many places staying in double digits. so this band of heavy rain and strong winds will cross east anglia and the southeast through friday morning. behind that, england and wales will see some sunshine, but scotland and northern ireland seeing further outbreaks of rain, very windy, with gusts in exce
