, southern england. as it works into east anglia and the southeast later in the day, it will begin to fragment and turn a little bit lighter. sunshine and showers further north once again, a breezy day to come, quite windy across southern parts around this rain band. temperatures mid—to—high teens for many. we hold onto to further showers and outbreaks of rain across the north of the uk thursday and friday, but as we head on into the weekend, particularly england and wales, it's going to start to turn warmer, more humid, with the risk of some thundery showers. this is bbc news, i'm david eades. our top stories: "shoot on sight" — the orders for security forces in sri lanka amid violent protests calling for the president to step down. a warning for china — the world health organization says beijing must change course on covid. when we talk about a zero—covid strategy, we don't see it as sustainable considering the behaviour of the virus now and what we anticipate in the future. members of the us

let's take a closer look at the england camp. he i look at the england camp. he reported that abc news in australia. he's one of the most laid—back man i've ever met and we just had him coaching the team up until february this year was known for having a very fiery and intense personality and he is the complete opposite. during all his years in charge of the winning team i don't think i've ever seen him lose his temper once waited they won or lost the game has been a lot more winning and losing but i've never seen him in a bad mood and he has such a great relationship with the media and a reputation for being honest and he's happy to answer your questions and clarify anything happening in the camp. it has been criticised in the past for focusing on selecting all around instead of going to a specialist at maybe really performing and see him like an obvious choice fans and he's had conservative approach in some of these choices of the winning team but the biggest thing england fans can expect to see is that collaborative approach with the captain of the leader

is the bank of england done? is the bank of england going to deliver further hikes? governor bailey talking about risk to inflation in the near term. he's talking about the inflation pain that the u.k. population is going to feel, but he's also talking about the idea that when inflation comes down, it is going to fall precipitously. the idea here seems to be that basically the bank of england is going to use inflation to crush demand in the economy and bring inflation back down to target and potentially below target. the risk around that is massive. if you end up un-anchoring inflation, the risk of a wage price spiral is lurking in the wings. tom: jon mentioned this earlier. i think we have a real understanding of the relationship of mr. powell with secretary yellen, with the administration in america. what is the relationship of the bank of england to mr. sunak, chancellor of the exchequer? guy: i am going to dodge this, and the reason i am going to dodge this is because there are polls open here in the u.k. today. as a result of which, talk of fiscal policy is goin

the bank of england seeing a high likelihood in england and the united kingdom. in the u.s. there seems to be a consensus that is not the near-term forecast, there is so much momentum underpinning the strength. you think that is overstated or you think people can bet on that, leading to more dollar strength? marc: i think we will get more dollar strength and tomorrow we will get the jobs report in the u.s.. i've seen estimates fall but we are still talking about 280,000 increasing jobs. it is hard for me to receive a recession. we are going to have a slow down. i see it later this year and into next year, not so much in the next quarter. we have a sharp contraction in q1 gdp but that was statistical because of trade and inventory. sales to domestic purchasers was a relatively robust number. tom: all of us begin foreign-exchange and banking by watching julie andrews and mary poppins. let's be honest. dick van dyke stole the show. there is a view of the bank of england of the fidelity and mutual bank, the bank in the movie mary poppins. we have moved on from that. a new centra

warmer in eastern parts of england, up to around 23. cool in the rain and the onshore wind in eastern scotland. the rain will push across the northern isles tonight as showers and thunderstorms elsewhere fade away. largely dry for the second half of the right, some mist and fog patches. just eastern scotland and north—east england that dip into single figures. a lot of fine weather to begin tomorrow. the story tomorrow is about the rain as it turns more widespread and heavy across western parts, especially in the afternoon. and a very warm and sunny spell ahead of that across eastern parts, warmer in eastern scotland, but towards the south—east of england the highest temperature of the year so far, around 26. some heavy and thundery downpours across southern and eastern parts going into tuesday evening and overnight. all of that clear through by wednesday morning and we're left with a few showers around to move through scotland especially in the morning. another area of rain will take its time to head towards northern ireland later

, particularly for eastern england, 20-22 particularly for eastern england, 20—22 here, but typically the mid—teens across scotland and northern ireland. tuesday, the front tends to make its way further south and east and a return to sunny spells and scattered blustery showers for the north—west. temperatures coming down a little in the south, still about 20 or so, typically the mid—teens across the north—west of the uk. through the week ahead, some showers around, especially towards the north and west. things looking drierfurther south and east. goodbye for now.

today at six, the growing shortage of gps in some parts of england, with some regions faring much worse than others. we talk to several family doctors, including this one in hull where the shortage of gps is felt very keenly in deprived areas. we have the sort of perfect storm where we've got the most need but yet seem to have the least capacity to deal with it, so it creates inequity and it actually perpetuates it. we'll be reporting from hull — and from devon, where the picture is very different. also today: the holiday giant tui cancels more flights. thejubilee bank holiday could be very uncertain for some holiday—makers. cases are packed, we're all ready to go, and we received a text last night, 7:30, to say that the holiday had been cancelled. no explanation, and nobody�*s been in touch. another record high for the average price of petrol, as the pressure on global supplies shows no sign of easing. and 70 years of the monarch meeting her prime ministers — we report on the mystique and mystery of the weekly audience. and coming up on the bbc news channel, a clash fit for a f

on the radar, you can see showers across northern scotland, eastern england. we have had a line of heavier showers and even a few thunderstorms working across wales and the south—west, where we have seen today's heaviest showers. they will clear overnight and it will be dry for a client —— a time because most of england and wales. scotland and northern england will see clouds thicken with showers returning to many areas as we go through the night. another chilly night with temperatures, 5—7 celsius. a cool start on monday and another unsettled day as this area of low pressure moves westwards from scandinavia. not many isobars on the charts. the winds are going to be very light but what this area of low pressure will do is create further showers. there will be quite a bit of cloud around on monday morning, still a few bright or sunny spells coming through but into the afternoon, the showers become extensive and widespread. some of them heavy, particularly across south—west england where the wind will bash together to give a line of conversions and alo

the odd shower for wales and southwest england to cross wales and england, more cloud in the afternoon compared with the morning. and a warmer day across the east and southeast of england, where it stays dry with some sunny spells, compared with wednesday�*s rain. it is scotland, northern ireland, northern england with some patchy rain on to thursday night, and then, really by friday morning, it�*sjust the northern half of scotland really seeing some rain on what will be a milder start to the day. so on friday, then, it�*s really across northern scotland we will see some further outbreaks of rain for a time. some cloud elsewhere in scotland, northern england, and northern ireland. it�*s wales and the southern half of england that will see the lion�*s share of friday�*s sunshine. and what will be a windy day across scotland, northern ireland and northern england in particular, really quite gusty winds here. and temperatures are edging just a touch higher. now, it is a sign of things to come into the weekend — it will be pleasantly warm, especially when you get to see some

the liberal democrats in england hoping to pick up support not only in the southeast of england more affluent but some parts of the north where they argue boaters are disenchanted, fed up with both main parties. in scotland it will be about whether labour and conservatives can establish them as the main unionist voice in scotland i guess esn pd scotish national party which are dominant there and in wales is really for labour to reestablish its long—held grip on local government. for northern ireland, there could be a historic shift — can you explain to our audience outside the uk what's significant? northern ireland is a one part of the uk which is having an election for its government, the power—sharing executive as it's known for the people up and going to the polls they are to elect representatives who will hopefully form the assembly. members of which will be chosen as a cross party government under the system, it's a power—sharing system that's in place in northern ireland. all eyes around that result because it is and indeed expected by some that the irish nationalist p

some rain on their way at last for england and wales. not everyone's favourites but for gardeners it has been so dry of late. we could relate to do with a good drink for the flowers and plants are just getting started and this low pressure will deliver that into wednesday. at the moment we have a tail end of the weather front across the far east of england but that has not amounted to much rain. that should be quite a lot of sunshine across the whole of the uk this afternoon but some showers into western scotland and scattered ones for northern england. the showers in western scotland get quite intense as we look through the overnight period, could be some heavy rain and then the future you saw on the satellite picture pushing towards the south—west of england by the end of the night. we still have some question marks aboutjust how far north it may push, the more persistent rain but it looks like we could see some into lancashire or parts of yorkshire and briefly through wednesday. it looks like wales and the south—west will start of

plenty on the way of sunny spells across the south and south—east of england, across england and wales elsewhere, claudia across the afternoon, to north and west wales as we head towards the school pick up and evening rush hour, rain starts to arrive, some on the heavy side. 18 in the sunshine, further north. cooler weather rain set in an evening across northern england, north and west wales. heavy at times. some rain fringing into the midlands. it will slide towards east anglia and the south—east. not much in the way operate across southern counties. many a garden will stay dry. only a few spots of rain through eastern part of england into tomorrow morning. most will have a dry night with clear skies around. a little cooler that we have seen through recent nights. as we start the weekend, one or two mugger show as possible and eastern districts. a cool breeze across the north sea. north and west, good, long sunny spells and feeling pleasant in the sunshine. —— one or two showers possible. hello this is bbc news. in local elections in england, the conservatives suffer a series of

still lots of dry weather across england and wales. cloud bubbling up over the course of the afternoon, could produce an isolated shower in the midlands, south wales and south—west. first band of rain clears north and scotland, more rain coming in across the west, showers occasionally in northern ireland, temperatures 10—21 or 22. pollen levels high across much of england and wales today, low or moderate across the rest of the uk. through this evening and overnight clear skies develop, some patchy mist and fog. weatherfront skies develop, some patchy mist and fog. weather front bringing skies develop, some patchy mist and fog. weatherfront bringing in heavier, more persistent rain across scotland and northern ireland, with all this going on not a cold night. into tomorrow, this weather front in scotland and northern ireland continues to sink southwards, if anything the rain to the west of the pennines terms that bit heavier, similarly so into north wales. behind that weather front, return to bright spells, sunshine and showers, ahe

a queue for scotland and across northern and eastern areas of england. looking at monday, this area of low pressure moved westwards from scandinavia to be centred over the uk, not many isobars, this is not a strong area of low pressure, wind staying light, the low pressure will bring lows more showers. monday, we are looking at a showery picture, quite a bit of cloud, sunshine break through, showers become widespread. heavy showers become widespread. heavy showers falling across south—west england with a zone of convergence, wind bashing together, either side of the south—west peninsula, line of heavy thunderstorms extending to the south midlands and central southern england. the old heavy shower anywhere, not much in a way of wind, they will be slow—moving. by tuesday, thejet they will be slow—moving. by tuesday, the jet stream starts to kick their showers and give them a next to push because we have a trough, ebay and in thejet next to push because we have a trough, ebay and in the jet stream moving across the uk which tends to encourage the ai

they have lost several hundred in england. and if you factor in wales and scotland as well, they have lost nearly 500 councillors. it is a different story for the liberal democrats. they have had a very good night. and the greens, too, have done well, picking up many seats. let's take a look at some of the individual councils across the three nations. starting in london, where labour had a very good night at the expense of the conservatives. they gained westminster from the conservatives, that is a borough that had been tory since its inception. they also gained wandsworth and barnet from the tories, psychologically very positive for them. they have also gained seats from the conservatives in the south of england, so they have taken southampton from the conservatives. the tories lost the only council they were in control of in wales, monmouthshire in south wales. that is a conservative loss. it is now in no overall control. the conservatives have also lost west 0xfordshire, that is now hung, where david cameron used to have hi

we're being told what the bank of england that inflation could peak at io%. does that figure sound about right to you? yes, it is probably what we are around likely to see in the summer and obviously there are risks around it and you could see inflation going up even further than that, for example the invasion by russia, and we see energy prices going up further. that's one of the risks. but also it is really important to know that we are expecting inflation to moderate quite significantly from next year onwards. so, why would that happen? well, essentially we've already seen the big rise in the cost of living in the cost of living crisis, for example. we are not expecting another big hike if all goes well in energy and commodity prices, so that will come out of the equation. is there, a final question, any other way of bringing inflation down apart from raising interest rates? well, i mean, to be fair, a lot of what we are seeing at the moment is down to an external shock that high interest rates can't actually influence. higher interest rates are not direct

champions of england once again. these players will enjoy this moment for now, but not for too long. next weekend they take on manchester city in the fa cup next weekend, they take on manchester city in the fa cup final, now knowing that a presigious double is on the cards. jo currie, bbc news, london. what a season it's been. let's take a quick look at the final table. arsenal were so close to breaking chelsea stranglehold on english football. they were top for quite a while on the day but as you saw, sam kerr and co proved why they are the best in the land. manchester united couldn't live with chelsea and it ended any hopes they had of qualifying for europe. manchester city women beat reading 4—0 and sealed the final champions league spot. a great day for chelsea's sam kerr — not only did she score twice but she picked up the golden boot, after scoring 20 goals this season. yeah, it feels amazing. the season has been really difficult. it's been up has been really difficult. it's been up and down with losing lot

high pressure building in will most of england and wales dry. closer to weather fronts in scotland and northern ireland, there is a chance of seeing a little rain. in fact, a cloudy and damp start for many places here. and as for temperatures, well, it will be a cooler start. the chilliest parts of england and wales perhaps down to mid—single figures, a little bit lower in some areas. so, a lot of cloud across scotland and northern ireland. the chance of seeing a little light rain. it's more especially in western and mainly north west scotland. this will be most persistent. eastern and southern scotland may see some sunny spells, and into the afternoon, a few breaking through in northern ireland. for wales and england, there is a slight chance of catching a shower. the vast majority will stay dry. and though there'll be a lot of cloud around, it'll be a warmer feeling day with some occasional sunny spells, up to 22 in the warm spots in south east england. so, here, a lot of dry weather will continue as we get on into thursday night, but the ra

northern powerhouse rail is a rail network for- the north of england. and the proposed northern powerhouse rail, which would have improved the network between northern towns and cities, has been cut back. nicola headlam is a former government economist. something that has been extremely controversial recently has been the scaling back of northern powerhouse rail and the eastern leg. and i'm sure you can find out better than i can why on earth, a government that wants to unite and level up would just so flagrantly ignore the views and wishes of the combined northern business and mayors and leaders and everybody who were brought business and mayors and leaders and everybody who were bought into a rail strategy that had hs2 in full both sides and npr across the middle. i think overall the amount we've been investing in rail, notjust through hsz but more broadly, in rail improvements across the north of england is at a record level. but there is more that requires to be done. put simply, through, the eastern leg of hs2 being cancelled, northern powerhouse r

we start off with showers moving out of scotland into the north of england. by the middle part of the afternoon, those showers will drive in through wales, central and sout—east england. and south—east england. with the best of any brighter weather further north and west. it will still be quite warm their down to the south, hence the reason for the thunderstorms and temperatures may well peak, into the high teens. now, we've got one or two fronts to clear away towards the end of the weekend and then into the weekend, high pressure is set to build in behind, quietening things down once again. so, no significant rain for the gardeners or growers across central and southern england, and in fact, with the wind direction coming from the south—westerly, on the whole, for the bulk of england and wales and northern ireland, it will stay on the warm side. so, yes, we have got the risk of some rain on friday with that front, but once it clears through, and the high pressure builds, dry, settled, sunny and warm for many. tonight — hundreds of men, women and chil

but it was a different story after a rather grey start across england and wales. the cloud broke up and we saw temperatures peaking in the london area by the middle of the afternoon of 21 celsius. now, clear skies will continue to dominate the weather story to start off our weekend. we will see a little more in the way of cloud, producing a few scattered showers into the far north—west of the great glen, but elsewhere, it's a relatively mild start to the day, and, yes, there will be some early morning sunshine for many. out to the west, there will be a little bit of early morning patchy mist and low fog. that's because we've got high pressure building, winds falling light. but i just want to draw your attention to these showers down into the south—west arriving later on in the day. so, that early mist will lift away, a lot of sunshine pretty much throughout the day. we could just see a little more in the way of coastal cloud out towards the far north—west. top temperatures, though, warmer than friday in scotland, highs of 11—18 celsius. we could see 22—2

around 9000 special constants in england and i special constants in england and wales, the home secretary believes that these unpaid volunteers, because they take the same risks as regular police officers, they should be able to carry the same equipment. now in future, specials won't has to have a taser, it will be entirely up to them, the volunteer, to use them, they will then have to be assessed and approved. this was the home secretary priti patel speaking about it earlier today. our special constables do incredible work alongside our regular officers and, of course, we want to continue to empower them and give them the tools, basically, to make our streets safer. well, the home office is stressing that while tasers are drawn in many cases, they are only actually discharged in about 10% of the cases where they are drawn. but they are controversial. and certainly they have been faxes in a number of deaths. also, the police watchdog has echoed concerns about their disproportionate use. against black people. they see that as very important... there was the former england capitain, wayne r

high pressure building in will keep most of england and wales dry. closer to weather fronts in scotland and northern ireland, there is a chance of seeing a little rain. in fact, a cloudy and damp start for many places here. and as for temperatures, well, it will be a cooler start. the chilliest parts of england and wales perhaps down to mid—single figures, a little bit lower in some areas. so, a lot of cloud across scotland and northern ireland. the chance of seeing a little light rain. it's more especially in western and mainly north—west scotland. this will be most persistent. eastern and southern scotland may see some sunny spells, and into the afternoon, a few breaking through in northern ireland. for wales and england, there is a slight chance of catching a shower. the vast majority will stay dry. and though there'll be a lot of cloud around, it'll be a warmer feeling day with some occasional sunny spells, up to 22 in the warm spots in south—east england. so, here, a lot of dry weather will continue as we get on into thursday night, but th

the odd shower for wales and southwest england to cross wales and england, more cloud in the afternoon compared with the morning. and a warmer day across the east and southeast of england, where it stays dry with some sunny spells, compared with wednesday's rain. it is scotland, northern ireland, northern england with some patchy rain on to thursday night, and then, really by friday morning, it's just the northern half of scotland really seeing some rain on what will be a milder start to the day. so on friday, then, it's really across northern scotland we will see some further outbreaks of rain for a time. some cloud elsewhere in scotland, northern england, and northern ireland. it's wales and the southern half of england that will see the lion's share of friday's sunshine. and what will be a windy day across scotland, northern ireland and northern england in particular, really quite gusty winds here. and temperatures are edging just a touch higher. now, it is a sign of things to come into the weekend — it will be pleasantly warm, especially when you get to see some sunshine, high pr

the heaviest showers were focused across parts of wales and southwest england. the sky certainly looking threatening on the horizon here around the gower in south wales and that's where we had this line of heavier showers pushing in across wales and into southwest england. there were quite a few for scotland and across northern and eastern areas of england, as well. but we look at the forecast now for monday. this area of low pressure moves westwards from scandinavia to become centred over the uk. not many isobars on the charts. this isn't a strong area of low pressure. the winds will stay light. but what the low pressure will do is it will bring loads more showers oui’ way. so, for monday, we are looking at a showery picture. quite a bit of cloud to start off with. some sunshine breaks through the cloud and then showers become widespread. the day's heaviest showers are quite likely to form across southwest england, where we'll have this zone of convergence. that's where the winds kind of bash together either side of the southwest peninsula, and that line of h
