frontal system still up to the north—west. there may be a spell of very wet and windy weather for a time for the very first part of 2020. we'll have to keep an eye on that. we are likely to see rain at times but much of that up towards the north and the west. not much rain reaching the south—east. so generally speaking, through next week, including the new year period, of course, we'll see wind and rain at times but not all the time. mostly, it will be mild. the driest weather to be found in the south and east but perhaps not quite as bright as it has been during christmas day. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines... the queen highlights the need for reconciliation in her annual christmas message, in what's being seen as a nod to the divisions caused by brexit. earlier, the queen led members of the royal family at their traditional christmas day service — including prince george and princess charlotte for the first time — but prince andrew attended a private service. the spanish resort where a british man and his two c

watch ken burns' 1996 series on the west. pay attention to its treatment of the pueblo revolt of 1680. while he carefully uses 17th and 18th century engravings of spaniards to visualize his story, he relies on 19th and 20th century -- sorry -- i gave away my story. i was trying to highlight this picture here. he relies on 19th and 20th century photographs to depict the pueblo protagonists. this approach conveys an insidious image. european people change with time. one would never use images from two centuries later to depict them. but native peoples live on in an unchanging past. i photograph made 240 years later is just fine. we are susceptible to this a use -- to this ahistorical use of photographs when we do not know better. i like to imagine that burns' viewers realize that motion picture footage of a snake dance could not actually depict the pueblo revolt of 1680. but my students presume they saw 17th-century dancers performing in front of a movie camera. i know they are not alone. to move beyond the uncritical use of ph

in the west, temperatures are higher because we have rain across northern ireland, wales and west and england continuing towards the east. the showers in scotland mean the risk of ice on untreated surfaces. the rain across western areas pushing east, accompanied by blustery winds. these isobars mean the wind will strengthen later. this morning, the rain continues with hill snow pushing steadily east. brighter skies today. sunniest across north east scotland. elsewhere in scotland, north east ireland, showers. the rain in wales and the south—west pushing to eastern parts of england with hill snow. heavier bass is possible —— heavier bursts are possible. but it will be transient. behind this band of rain, things improved in terms of temperatures, not as cold but there will be showers around. later on, the wind strengthens across south wales, south—west england, the english channel and the channel islands, touching gale force at times. some clear skies, some showers, the rain today pushing in the north sea will move back into eastern parts of scotland. tomorrow, we start off with

a high of 12 in the south—west. that ridge of high pressure doesn't last long, though, because more weather systems are arriving into tuesday and the winds strengthening as well, maintaining this very unsettled spell. so we're all going to get more rain, i think, on tuesday. strong—to—gale force winds as well, particularly squally on that second band of rain. showers following by the evening from the west, but ahead of that, temperatures typically into double figures. this is bbc news, the headlines: at least 35 people have died in a factory fire in india plasma capital, new delhi. there are reports 43 are dead. the fire broke out in the north—west of the city in the anaj mandi area. it is understood the building was filled with school bags and packing material. 50 people have so far been rescued. donald trump has thanked iran for what he described as "very fair" negotiations which led to a rare exchange of prisoners between the two countries. iran released an american phd student who'd been jailed for spying,
