but across a large swathe of scotland and northern ireland, once again, it's a fine and dry day with temperatures in the high teens if not low 20s celsius. but feeling quite cool through parts of the midlands and northern england where we have that zone of cloud, showers, and the breeze as well. now, as we move into monday, the area of low pressure responsible for the showers and thunderstorms slowly starts to pull away north and eastwards. it will take its time, which means we're likely to keep some showers going through monday morning, particularly through parts of eastern england. but gradually easing away, and then for most on monday, it's mainly dry, with some bright or sunny spells. could see a few showers just clipping the far south—west of england. temperatures actually feeling a little bit warmer across the southern half of the uk, with a bit more in the way of sunshine, generally in the mid to high teens for many. we keep the chance of a few showers lingering through coastal counties as we move into tuesday, but tuesday actually is looking for many a fairly quiet day, wit

the arrangement, known as the northern ireland protocol, allows for extra checks on some goods moving across the irish sea. it's been a source of discontent for unionists, who see it as an internal border within the uk. but critics of the move — including nationalist parties and the irish government — say it could breach international law. this legislation could potentially have implications for the uk's relationship with the eu. four borisjohnson's relationship with his own party, and for the future of devolution here in northern ireland. the northern ireland assembly remains in the deep freeze more than a month after the election to it. a power—sharing coalition is currently being blocked, and is preventing the assembly from meeting at all of its opposition to the northern ireland protocol. the dup wants an end to checks on goods arriving here at belfast port for example, from the rest of the uk, and it says it wants what it calls decisive action to remove the irish sea border, so on that basis i do not think it is likely that the ub will soften its stance. non—unionist part

in scotland and northern ireland it was the warmest day of the year so far yesterday, todayis day of the year so far yesterday, today is cooler with much more cloud. not much rain left over and i think the cloud will thin and break so we should see sunshine. some cloud pushing into the far north of england, the rest of england and wales enjoying blue skies and strong sunshine, temperatures higher than yesterday, 2&25, i7 sunshine, temperatures higher than yesterday, 2&25, 17 or 18 sunshine, temperatures higher than yesterday, 21125, 17 or 18 scotland and northern ireland where we have the cloud. some patchy cloud overnight tonight in scotland and northern ireland, the bulk of england and wales dry, clear, no wind, temperature is probably more evenly spread overnight, 11 or 12 degrees, may be warmer in northern ireland with more cloud. i hope we should break through that cloud tomorrow more readily across northern ireland added to scotland, more sunshine and more warmth, but across england and wales the heat continues to build in those blue skies and light winds. temperatures are coup

closest to the uk, we've seen changes recently in ireland and northern ireland. in 2018, ireland moved from having a constitutional abortion ban today and repealing that ban and bringing in a relatively progressive abortion law that allows for a up to 12 weeks on request and further into pregnancy for medical reasons. northern ireland we saw the decriminalisation of abortion in 2019. further afield, we've seen progressive changes across latin america, for instance. in mexico, and colombia, in argentina. and just yesterday, as the us supreme court released this decision, germany was, meanwhile, removing an old part of its abortion laws that had blocked doctors from advertising abortion services. now, part of your research is something called self—managed abortion. what is that? self—managed abortion is abortion undertaken outside of a clinical context. sometimes remotely supported through telemedicine, sometimes supported with community health providers. what's important about self—managed abortion is that across the world, self—managed abortion with medic

the northern ireland protocol. people see the bill, they'll be able to see that this is working within international law, but we'll also set out the government's legal position on it. and i know people want to see our legal position, so we'll do that to make sure people see this is within international law. but let's not forget, even in 2019, the then attorney—general was very clear. the primacy has to be in, for us as a government, rightly, is on the belfast good friday agreement, in all three strands. and that's what we're going to focus on delivering. the headlines on bbc news... fierce street fighting in eastern ukraine — president zelensky says his forces are "holding on", but warns troops are running low on ammunition. the british government is looking at plans to change the law to allow agency staff to be brought in to cover for some striking rail workers. and queen elizabeth ii becomes the world's second longest serving monarch — only louis xiv of france has ruled for longer. tens of thousands of peop

there's been much more cloud, though, across scotland and northern ireland, so temperatures today not quite as high as they were yesterday. that cloud, though, is continuing to thin, so this evening and into the night, we'll have some patchy cloud for scotland and northern ireland. generally across england and wales, any cloud that wehave at the moment any cloud that we have at the moment will melt away and we'll have clear skies. temperatures typically overnight 11—12. could be a little bit milder than that in northern ireland if it stays cloudy here, but i suspect we'll break through that cloud and give some sunshine through the day on wednesday. and more sunshine to come across scotland, particularly in the east. the sunnier skies continue to be across england and wales. no wind at all, those temperatures rising rapidly once again, adding a couple of degrees on today's values, so for many, 26—27 degrees. it'll be a warmer day than today in northern ireland and much warmer, i think, for eastern scotland in the sunshine. but when you do have the sunshine we've got high or even ve
