here's john hammond. some welcome tranquillity at last for some of us, a beautiful start to the day in cumbria. in cumbria the sunshine will not last long, as we see ina sunshine will not last long, as we see in a moment. doris has been hurtling its way across northern parts of europe, causing some problems. for us, a window of sunshine for many places this morning, there are further fronts lying in wait in the atlantic and there will be rain for many through there will be rain for many through the weekend. enjoy the sunshine while it lasts, across many parts of england and wales it will be a fine afternoon with broken cloud and sunshine. lots of cloud across eastern counties at the moment, i hope that will break up to some extent. feeling cool after the chilly start, sixes and sevens but the winds are nothing like as strong as they have been. sunshine in cumbria, brightness and eastern scotland but all the west rain in northern ireland and into western scotland this afternoon. that rain will continue eas

now it's time to take a look at the prospects here for the weather with john hammond. after the last few days, i'm sure many of you are crying out for a change in fortunes. fast forward a few days, and we can see a transformation, with blue skies and sunshine, and temperatures will have lea pt up sunshine, and temperatures will have leapt up again. that is the message over the next few days, slowly and surely it will be turning milder. a slow process, we still have got those easterly winds, but the source of the air is no lug rusher but down in the mediterranean, which is why the wind is why the wind isn't as cold as it has been. still not exactly warm, quite an edge to it, but further south and west, sunshine makes all the difference with the gloom of the weekend. it will be windy, especially across the coast and hills of west wales in south—west england, 50 or 60 mph gusts could cause issues, there are warnings in force from the met office. it won't feel as warmer some office. it won't feel as warmer some of these numbers suggest. it will be windy, cloudy across th

let's get the latest from john hammond. it has been a cold roddy across many parts of the country. it will be chilly as we head into the night as well. some snowfall for the pennines but that will fade away. dampness across northern areas overnight, but we will see clearer skies pushing into southern counties. not as cold is the last few nights, but not exactly warm, particularly if you're out in the breeze, through your four degrees. monday will be different for some of us, transformation across southern counties. increasing amounts of sunshine which will make all the difference. it will be windy with gales across western khorasan hills. further north, it will be a struggle to break up the cloud, with a chilly day across the north of scotland and eastern england. temperatures held back here, but in the south, temperatures into double figures. that is the message over the next few days. it will turn milder slowly and erratically. you will notice the difference. this is bbc news, i'm nicholas owen. the headlines at 7pm: president trump says he'll strengthen links with allies in the

john hammond has the details. nice weather for nice weatherfor a trip nice weather for a trip in the next few days. the weather will behave itself. there will be some rain and extensive dry spells. this cloud is pushing in from the atlantic. they are not big

john hammond has the latest. things are getting better. it feels spring listen like for some of us, but not for all. 0vernight tonight no great dramas. clear skies for many. still grey and overcast across eastern scotland and north—east england and rain arrives across the far south—west. in between, england and rain arrives across the farsouth—west. in between, no england and rain arrives across the far south—west. in between, no real problems, but it will be cold. two or three celsius. a touch of frost in one or two places, but sunshine to start the new day. for many it will be a nice day away from eastern scotla nd will be a nice day away from eastern scotland and north—east england. disappointing here. a different day across the south—west of england. mild across the south and the west. still chilly across the north and the east. but the headline is that through the rest of this week it will be mild. a lot milder than it has been, but there will be a drop or two of has been, but there will be a drop ortwo of rain has been, b

john hammond is on the weather now. john hammond is on the balcony. no, he is not, he is on a lake. actually in cumbria it is already clouding over again as the next system arrives, but it is good by doris. it is moving out into eastern europe as i speak, taking those vicious winds as i speak. for many of usa vicious winds as i speak. for many of us a window of sunshine to enjoy during the rest of the day, particularly across england and wales. the odd shower, but very isolated. some cloud in eastern counties, but that will break up through the rest of the afternoon. not through the rest of the afternoon. n ot exa ctly through the rest of the afternoon. not exactly warm, but in the sunshine it feels very pleasant indeed. turning down in the west and rain pushing through northern ireland. a bit of white stuff in the north of scotland towards the end of the day, but it will turn into rain as we head into the night. some of that rain pushes down into england and wales, but very little in southern counties. more heavy rain pushes back into northern ireland. temperatures on the rise, no

time now for a look at the weather withjohn time now for a look at the weather with john hammond, and time now for a look at the weather withjohn hammond, and some warm weather at last. we are heading in the right direction, slowly. remember yesterday? a quick reminder if you needed, very cloudy and cold. three degrees was typical across the uk through the course of sunday afternoon. for some today, a com plete afternoon. for some today, a complete transformation and it felt almost like spring. 0n the cornish coast almost beach weather, 13 degrees here, very nice too. the other end of the uk was still shrouded in cloud across the far north—east of england and in scotla nd north—east of england and in scotland we were shivering once more, just four degrees. it stays really cloudy here overnight and to the far north—east of england, the wind coming off the north sea. the change in weather across the far north—west, but for the rest are finite, but a chilly night. some frost in some places but sunshine to wa ke frost in some places but sunshine to wake up to in the morning. not f

now for the weather with john hammond. hi there. cloudy for some, sunny for others, wet for a few but mild. that is the theme at the moment, and that theme continues through sunday as well. temperatures widely above where you would expect at this time of year. but a lot of regional variation around the uk, so i will try and pick out some detail. it looks as if most places will start the day on a dry note. cloudy in some places with a fog across central and southern areas but it should not be too extensive and it should lift with time. cloud across the west cost of wales with an odd spot of drizzle. a murky misty start, a misty start, across northern ireland as well. the odd spot of drizzly rain from the word go across the western highlands of scotland. to the eastern hills, already some brightness out there. temperatures already quite well up. eight or nine degrees in a good few places. to the east of the pennines, some sunshine. probably grey further west towards cumbria. across the midlands, east anglia, much of southern england,

john hammond has the forecast. it is cold out there. spring seems a long way off. the results in or around but not for all. certainly some snow over the pennines and the peak district. as it gets colder again, we could see some snow at low levels in eastern counties. temperatures hovering close to freezing wherever you are. another raw feeling day. i think the pennines will be the focus for any disruptive snowfall. the worst of it in the higher up you go. there will be rain and sleet elsewhere. no great amount of snow. something drier in the south—east. the chill will be accentuated by a brisk easterly wind. temperatures in some places no more than two or three degrees. temperatures will be slow to rise through the early part of next week. it is going to be a struggle but by midweek, for some of us, it will begin to feel a bit like spring.

here's john hammond. the sun is slowing setting on winter. most of what is falling out of the sky at the moment is liquid, thankfully. 0ver of the sky at the moment is liquid, thankfully. over the next few hours wintry showers to the north of scotland. it will be icy here. elsewhere temperatures not it far off freezing, there could be slippery surfaces. there will be morning sunshine to enjoy in southern areas, it won't last that long. things will go down hill across southern counties through the day with rain setting in. further north showers scattered around, but plenty of sunshine to enjoy, across the heart of scotland, for example. wintry showers to the far north. most of scotland enjoying sunshine, temperatures sixes and sevens, northern ireland not doing too badly. northern england some showers left behind but sunshine in between. another dravrp and damp end to the day across southern counties, feeling cool. the wind will pick up, lively tomorrow night, gales setting in to exposed southern and western coasts. inheavier rain will turn ba

hammond and across to the weather forecast it wasjohn hammond and a asked if he had any secret weapons. chris is there now. john said he got some seaweed in his pockets. do you have any secret devices? years ago my friends bought me a weather sponge. if it is moving it is windy, if it is wet it has been raining and if it isn't that you've had a tornado. that is what i use! good evening. we have an awkward week of rain, sleet and snow. —— awkward mix. quite a bit of rain at the moment but it turned to snow in parts of east anglia. through the night there's the potential that a couple of us could have a covering of snow, abn centimetre off —— may be an odd centimetre or two. across the pennines and the moors we will get snow showers. elsewhere, in revelations, an awkward mix. more like rain and sleet at lower levels, but you could get a flurryjust about anywhere. another cold start the day with a bitter wind blowing. temperatures barely above freezing first thing. further westwards south—west england could have a couple of spots, otherwise grey and cloudy. of rain and snow for

here's john hammond. everything except the kitchen sink. beautiful rainbows taken on by some of our weather watchers. but you need sunshine and rain for rainbows. it's been pouring down across some parts of the uk and in others, a real taste of late winter with heavy snowfall and for many, we settled into a fine evening with clearing skies. still snowing across the highest ground of north england and the borders. that will clear away. further wintry showers will push in on the breeze across western part of finland and wales in particular and the odd one further east. watch out forice the odd one further east. watch out for ice —— eastern western parts of england. damages could get below freezing. another clutch of rain fringing western scotland and northern ireland over high ground. through the irish sea. elsewhere, bright and crisp and a sunny start of the day for many but it will be called despite the sunshine. it will cloud over a cross west despite the sunshine. it will cloud over across west wales and some showers on the way. furth

here's john hammond. some welcome tranquillity at last for some of us, a beautiful start to the day in cumbria. in cumbria the sunshine will not last long, as we see ina sunshine will not last long, as we see in a moment. doris has been hurtling its way across northern parts of europe, causing some problems. for us, a window of sunshine for many places this morning, there are further fronts lying in wait in the atlantic and there will be rain for many

john hammond can bring us the latest. hi there. the impact have been pretty much as anticipated so farfrom been pretty much as anticipated so far from storm doris, been pretty much as anticipated so farfrom storm doris, with accommodation of strong winds, rain and snow for some places. doris is not done with us yet. still a sting in the tailfor some not done with us yet. still a sting in the tail for some to come. it has brought heavy snowfall across parts of scotla nd brought heavy snowfall across parts of scotland in particular and still snow to come in southern parts of scotla nd snow to come in southern parts of scotland with an amber warning in force. most of the snow across high ground with wintry showers piling into northern ireland this afternoon. further south, some rain around but the main story is the wind. the black figures indicating the gust speeds and in some places we will see gusts even higher than that producing scenes like this earlier on today. huge waves crashing on to the swords —— shores and this is foam

hammond is there. we can change the weather man but get the same old weather i'm afraid. jane will be distinctly chilly this evening shall we say. will need loads and loads of layers, it will be milder but not tonight, we will have to wait a few days for the warmer air. easterly wind will continue, many places becoming dry overnight, a fair bit of cloud, clear skies pushing into some southern counties. not just clear skies pushing into some southern counties. notjust as cold as has been recently as we start monday but i'm afraid that wind will have a real edge to it so it will not feel much warmer. the big difference is increasing sunshine developing across southern and western areas, although it will be windy with gales putting western coast sandhills, still cloudy and travel across north eastern areas. double figures and some sunni parts of the south. at long last that is the message, but it will turn milder slowly but surely. more detail in half an hour.

here's john hammond. wild and winter wheat for all of us, destructive for some and damaging for a few. doris will never be the storm of the century but it will pack a punch as it develops over the next few hours and arrives on our doorstep by tomorrow morning. it is not pleasant at the moment across parts of western england and

here's john hammond. wild and winter wheat for all of us, destructive for some and damaging for a few. doris will never be the storm of the century but it will pack a punch as it develops over the next few hours and arrives on our doorstep by tomorrow morning. it is not pleasant at the moment across parts of western england and wales, raining hard. miles across the southern part of the uk but colder further north. then all eyes to the west as we head into the night. very wet across northern ireland. over an inch of rain in some places and that will have its own impact. then doris arrives and it turned to snow. first of all we have the snow and a warning in force from the met office. the west of the conditions office. the west of the conditions of high ground but through the central belt we could see some centimetres in the glasgow and edinburgh area. this could well be the scene in upland areas in particular. that wet and sticky snow for the rush—hour tomorrow. the snow moves a little further south but

that's me and one of britain's weather forecasters, john hammond and we had an unusual winters of weather in 2013-'14 and made a show about why that happened, and if the bbc had ever understood how complicated the answer to the question, was wouldn't have let us make the show so we didn't tell them. it's all these -- weather is complicated. you get this a lot here because your weather map includes a lot -- much larger area than ours. you have el niÑo doing things, the jet stream, something called the oscillation going on the equator, all these things overlaid on each other, and so we understand a lot about the weather. don't understand everything. we can't -- this weather scientists can piece together why these winters were particularly but not as simple as a causes b causes c, and this happens and that over lays with that. ard to predict the advance but afterwards you can trace back. the important thing is this huge difference between not knowing anything and having that sort of emergency, can't say in two sentences but a huge amount of understanding and there's a point coming up where

john hammond is on the other side of the newsroom and will bring us the weather. it could be 1st april with a story like that! things are getting milder. we have had 14 celsius in the isle of skye. by had 14 celsius in the isle of skye. by morning time, another batch of rain arriving across the far south—west. not a particularly cold night and certainly no real problems with frost, but there could be one or two problems with sharp bursts of rain across south—west england. the odd rumble of thunder mixed in. so the conditions on the roads could be not very nice across this area first thing and for your early morning rush hour. a murky start. there will be areas of mist and fog over the high ground, but hopefully nothing too dense or widespread. some patchy rain pushing into northern ireland. most of scotland dry. there could be a touch of frost in northern highland glens for a time. limited brightness across the uk. some of the best of that will be across the north of scotland. this little batch of rain will push its way into central parts of england and wales

sima kotecha, bbc news, worcester. john hammond is partial to a bit of bell—ringing and he can tell you the weather as well. i will show you the roads any time. it is getting milder but we will hang on in there. so cold yesterday. three celsius. but today from any of us the transformation, not all, but many beautiful blue skies for a change, temperatures soared it felt fixed ring. 13 degrees on the cornish coast. a lovely afternoon from any of us out of that breeze but not so rosy for some, especially across the far north—east of england and eastern scotland where we were shivering once more. we still had some shivering once more. we still had some store in the ground in some places and temperatures were three orfour places and temperatures were three or four celsius places and temperatures were three orfour celsius all day places and temperatures were three or four celsius all day long. it will not turn milder tonight. call tonight. the touch of frost under clear skies. some rain turning up across the far south—west of england. temperatures well down. a difference of the day tomorr

john hammond has the weather. till evening. for many of us a cold and raw day. still some snow in some places it the night. at low levels across some eastern cape is a big winds. further snowfall of the peak district and the pennines. rain and sleet in other areas. temperatures close to freezing and icy stretches around. as we head into sunday morning. the best sunshine on sunday reserved for the far north—west of scotland. a lot of cloud around, and mixture of rain and sleet. the focus for a snow up mixture of rain and sleet. the focus for a snow up over mixture of rain and sleet. the focus for a snow up over the higher parts of the pennines. mostly rain or sleet further down the hill. dry across the south—east but the best of the sunshine in the far north—west. temperatures in some spots struggling to get higher than two or three degrees all day. signs of spring? it's going to be a struggle to the early part of next week but by the middle of the week it's going to feel a lot nicer. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines: president trump says he's conside

what happens beyond that, looking ahead to the weekend, john hammond is herejust before apm. the this is bbc news. the the headlines at 3.30pm: thirty british tourists on a beach in tunisia were unlawfully killed, according to the findings of an inquest into their deaths. the coroner added that the local police response to the attack was "at best shambolic and at worst cowa rd ly". families of some of the thirty british tourists killed in tunisia are to bring a civil case against the travel company tui, which organised their holiday in 2015. the pensions regulator has agreed a cash settlement with the former owner of collapsed department store bhs, sir phillip green — worth up to £363 million. the former chancellor george osborne has issued a stark warning about the risks to the british economy if theresa may fails to secure a trade deal with the eu. the uk's most senior police officer, dealing with child sex abuse, says that low risk paedophiles should be given counselling and helped to rehabilitate, rather than face prosecution. two amateur treasure hunters have found what is tho

john hammond is on the other side of the newsroom with the latest forecast. quite a wintry feel to things. there was some significant snow earlier today across parts of north—west england. most of what's coming out of the sky right now is rain. for most, it's going to settle into a quiet night. still a few showers around particularly near exposed coasts. a cold one. temperatures close to freezing in many places. bright and sunny start for a good few of us. already some wintry showers across the far north and we will see rain turning up across southern counties of england and east anglia as well. a disappointing end to the day here. further north, a few showers close to irish sea coasts. chilly, double figures if you're lucky across the south, but it stays chilly and through tomorrow night, we're concerned that the weather could turn lively. strong winds, heavy rain and hill snow across parts of england and wales. we'll keep an eye on that. disruption is possible. i will be back with more detail in half an hour. hello. this is bbc news. the headlines at 4.31

hammond just before four. hello. this is bbc news. the headlines at 3.33pm: it's a mistake. moonlight. an oscars moment sure to be remembered as one of the most infamous in history. la la land's producers were half—way through their acceptance speeches for winning best picture when it emerged moonlight had actually won. the independent inquiry into historical child abuse in england and wales has begun hearing evidence from those sent to australia under a government—backed migration scheme. the inquiry has also apologised after confidential data about dozens of those involved was mistakenly sent out in an e—mail. the government is facing calls from its own mps to scrap plans to limit access to a key disability benefit. it's thought changes to the rules on who qualifies for the personal independence payment could affect around 160,000 people. insurance companies are warning that a decision by the government to increase compensation payments for long—term injuries will mean customers paying more for car i

neither the weather, john hammond joins us. spring starts this week by some definitions, but would know it out there at the moment. frost in some places, a right of mixture weather—wise, some of us have had pouring rain. for others, like spring in the sunshine, but for a few, that winter has not finished yet. this is the scene across midlothian, some heavy snow around. these clusters are clouds crossing the country, not easy, as you would imagine. some gaps in the cloud, so some clear sky. sunshine by night, that means frost in some places, larue spot. further showers coming from the west, is that the mission means ice around tonight. warnings from the met office, a cold one. these numbers are representative of towns and cities, i had we are below freezing in some spots. a sloppy start to the day, some freezing fog, and another cluster of rain pushing into scotland. it shouldn't cause too many problems, we think. further south and east, sunshine to start the day, should be a fine start around atm. already, a few showers acros

over to the balcony and john hammond. hi there. the impact of doris has been as we anticipated. heavy rain, strong winds and snow, although the snow is limited to scotland. the worst of the weather has been in the southern half of the uk thanks to be very strong winds. gusts of 70 mph inland will cause damage. they will be the last to clear away from the east coast as we head into the evening, with things settling down after that. temperatures will tumble away, leaving a problem with ice with surface water. it could be a very slippery start to friday morning but a much quieter end to the week. the winds will have died away. doris will have gone away eastwards, causing big problems in europe, incidentally, but for us much quieter. a nice day in southern parts of england and wales, enjoying a nice day, and rapid snowmelt in scotla nd a nice day, and rapid snowmelt in scotland potentially causing flooding as we head into the weekend. we will update you as we head through the afternoon. this is bbc newsroom live with anita mcveigh. the headlines at 12.30. storm doris is causing trav

time for the weather with john hammond. there he is. yes, here i am. i have good news if you don't like cold weather, the mild pain continues for the rest of this week and temperatures on the rise generally. it has still been a bit chilly in some places today but temperatures continue to rise and some of us have had a fantastic day to day in the sunshine. west of scotla nd to day in the sunshine. west of scotland made it up into the mid teens but there has been patchy rain further south which will travel to the north overnight. it will be quite a murky night for fog patches. heavy rain arrives across the far south of england just in time for brea kfast. south of england just in time for breakfast. it could be a grey and misty start where you are but hopefully things will pick up but not for all. wade across the south—west and wet weather spilling into wales. eventually sound rain into wales. eventually sound rain into western scotland and on either side of that there will be mist and fog patches. 0n side of that there will be mist and fog patches. on

time for a look at the weather, here's john hammond. everything except the kitchen sink today. some rain, hail, snow and sunshine as well and weather watchers have done us proud. this nice shot from the highlands earlier. keep the variety going over the next few days. our real mottled look to things, the cloud producing the heavy showers but some gaps in between, nailing down exactly when those gaps will arrive will not be easy. bear with us. those gaps will arrive will not be easy. bearwith us. furtherwintry showers likely overnight, saddam spreading east over england and wales, ice is more widespread —— sun spreading east. it is going to be a cold one, temperatures close to or below freezing in many places, out of town in particular. by morning, a little clump of rain and hill snow machine she can across scotland and northern ireland, snow mostly over the higher ground, heading south—east through the morning and head of that a lot of sunshine. bright and sunny start for many, i would not rule out the odd shower evenin would not rule out the odd shower even in the east t

here‘s john hammond. it is of course march tomorrow and we are looking for something warmer but right now it is quite a chilly prospect. some showers have been racing east through this evening across the midlands and east anglia and the south—east. things then settle down for many of us. the odd shower principally across the north and scotland, falling as low down to quite low levels. elsewhere temperatures dipping quite close to freezing in a good few places. make the most of any sunshine in the south because it is not going to last. things go downhill across southern counties with the rain setting in through the afternoon. further north are brighter prospect, the odd shower, still wintry across the odd shower, still wintry across the far north of scotland but for most of scotland looking good through the afternoon. light wind and sunshine making all the difference. pretty good in northern ireland, the north of england, still the odd shower but some dry spells in between. brightness holding on across t

what can we expect, john hammond has the latest. for scotland it is the snow and the rain that will have the impact. ta snow and the rain that will have the impact. t a moment it is relatively benign. it is pouring with rain in wales. and that rain will get heavier and more persistent. a whole lot of rain sweeping across the north. 0n the north fringe, that is where we think the snow will set in during the early hours. hence the amber warning from the met office, be prepared and some people are already getting prepared for what is going to happen tomorrow. we could see several centimetres through the central belt. further south it is about the wind. some rain, but the wind will have the greatest impact and we have another amber warning for wind from the met office. it is parts of wales, the midlands and the east that will bear the brunt. all the latest can be found on the bbc weather web—site. good afternoon. the headlines: cressida dick has been appointed the new metropolitan police commissioner, becoming the first woman to run s

in 2004, governor jay hammond expressed the fact that the income tax repealed. he said alaska would not have had to contend with the fiscal gap. and in the event of a fiscal gap, pfds should be used to support public services. in this vein i maintain my support for a moderate income tax and other bills introduced last year. if all of these measures pass, with alaska receiving a pfb each year, we will still be the lowest taxed individuals in the nation. before introducing those bills, i plan to chart a path forward. if you don't support the plan i propose, then put another plan on the table. if you think we need to cut more, identify the cuts and put them on the table. whatever your plan may be, put it out there and let's get to work to find a solution. but if your plan does not close the fiscal gap, be sure to also identify the amount from the dwindling savings each year to cover the gap under your plan. as a carpenter, i never framed half a house, shingled half a roof, or poured have a foundation. if you have a plan, bring alaskans a complete plan.
