four degrees in norwich, briefly during the day. most of the day it will be lower than that. still relatively mild in belfast, around 8 degrees. this is thursday's forecast across europe. these are the daytime highs. minus 10 in moscow — the big freeze has hit that place. minus 2 in warsaw. not quite across western parts of europe. still in a relatively mild air but the wind will start to feel stronger and colder as we go towards the weekend. just a hint briefly of a southerly, maybe just around ireland and the western isles but that is pretty much it. so the temperatures will keep on dropping away by day, by around a degree or so. as we go through the weekend, that high—pressure continues to strengthen and build from russia, and when high—pressure strengthens, the winds around it strengthen as well and they keep pushing in the colder air, straight out of russia. so the temperatures will keep on dropping away during the course of the weekend. i suspect even those values here are too high, it could be even as low as a couple of degrees above freezing, by sunday, in some

that wind coming in from a pretty cool continent at the moment, and you will feel the like of that in norwich, for example, four degrees only, and generally across the british isles, despite the fact there's a lot of sunshine around, variable amounts of cloud, temperatures just beginning to tick away from where we were at the start of the week. so as we move towards the tail end of the week, things beginning to settle down. notice temperatures around the five, six, seven degree mark or so. the forecast in edinburgh rather caught my eye. that's the second big fixture of saturday when we get on to the next round of the six nations rugby. i don't think the weather will get in the way in dublin or indeed in edinburgh. as i say, once we get towards the weekend, our high pressure begins to become amalgamated with a big area of high pressure over scandinavia. now, that's really quite important, because, if you follow the isobars around the eastern and southern flanks, then we begin to look away, up towards siberia, for the source of the air that comes towards us as we start the new week, and that's

the strength of the wind, this is what it will feel like — subzero for the likes of birmingham and norwich. and that's because we're bringing in the air all the way from siberia. we really start to tap into that very cold air as we head into the new working week. not only will it be cold, with temperatures struggling to get above freezing even by day, there is the increasing chance of some snow showers, particularly in eastern areas. perhaps some areas with more persistent snow at times, but even further west, not completely exempt. perhaps not quite as many showers but just about anywhere we will have the potential for a little bit of snow. so, to sum things up for next week, it will be very cold with bitter winds. some snow at times and widespread frosts and ice. welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north america on pbs and around the globe. my name is nkem ifejika. our top stories: the un security council yet again delays a vote on whether there should be a humanitarian ceasefire in syria. almost 500 people have been killed in the past week. one of donald trump's former aides

in places like norwich, it was a commute to nowhere. in congress, a blizzard. hundreds of schools closed across eastern england. and some hospitals were affected. —— in tonbridge, a blizzard. it looks great if you're not in one of those cars. closed schools means a day outdoors. and creative ways to have fun. there was snow on scarborough beach. even central london had a decent dusting. not an alpine resort, but parliament hill, just to the north of regents park this lunchtime. london never gets this. not at the end of february, into march. hoping it will last? 0h, march. hoping it will last? oh, yes, oh my god. we hope there will be snow tonight and then proper snow tomorrow. it really doesn't feel like central london today. we woke up like central london today. we woke up to an impressive amount of the white stuff, and if you cannot get into work or school, then there's only one thing to do, get involved with the fun. cheering in wales, there were tips on twitter about walking safely in the snow from carefully counselled. —— from caerphilly council. i

just 4 degrees in norwich on thursday and with the wind, it feels considerably colder. the wind really comes into play by the weekend and next week. the easterly remaining strong in london and cardiff on friday and saturday. sunny spells across the british isles thanks to this height. across scandinavia on saturday, a fine weekend but the air bleeding around the bottom of this height from siberia. particularly cold at the moment, really starting to push across the british isles on monday and tuesday. and my goodness, we will be let! next week, a lot of fine weather, some decent sunshine around, but widespread frost and the wind is especially raw. hello, you're watching afternoon live. i'm simon mccoy. today at three... as 7,000 people cancel regular donations to oxfam injust 10 days — after allegations of sexual misconduct by staff — this from the charity‘s chief executive: i am sorry, we are sorry, for the damage that 0xfam has done, both to the people of haiti and to the wider efforts of aid and development. syrian government forces intensify their bombing of a

four degrees in norwich. here is the easterly wind keeping the weather fronts out to be there come out in the atlantic. and those temperatures will continue to differ away. 4—5 degrees still for some of us on friday, around seven in belfast. at least the weather is looking mostly bright. having a look at the weekend, the high pressure really starts to strengthen and when it strengthens that means that the winds are rounded start to blow a little harder and with more intensity ringing that colder air in our direction. i suspect even these temperatures here, belfast, cardiff, london, they could drop a couple of degrees below freezing by the time we get to sunday. next week, that high—pressure stretches all the way from northern and central parts of russia, from siberia. we are in for a real blast and the cold spell is most certainly on the way but still a little uncertainty as to exactly where that cold air will go, whether cold as the ba will go. it could go south or a right across the uk. the indication i
