The uks defence secretary, grant shapps, has said the uks support for the nato Military Alliance is unwavering. Speaking in the last hour at the conservative Party Conference in manchester, he confirmed plans for two new deployments. Around 200 british soldiers are being sent to the nato peacekeeping mission in kosovo. And raf typhoons are heading to poland which he said was facing continued russian aggression. There had been a request from natos Supreme Allied Commander europe. And so, i have authorised the full deployment of a Battalion Size Uk Strategic Reserve force to natos Kosovo Peacekeeping mission. In the days ahead, hundreds of soldiers from the ist battalion, the princess of wales royal regimen, willjoin the 400 British Service Men And Women already in kosovo. In a response to a request from our polish friends, raf typhoons are landing in poland, as i speak, to support our nato ally with the growing threat of russian interference.

We know they are behind in the polls. We know rishi sunak has been trying to find something to capture the public imagination and set the agenda. He started doing it with that net zero speech a couple of weeks ago. But today hes been on the back foot a bit both on tax, pressure from backbenchers to reduce tax, and on hsz. Whether the High Speed Rail is going to happen in full and end in manchester like it is supposed to. John stephenson has views on this, mp for carlisle and also chair of the Northern Research group.

Vast crowds of Opposition Supporters are rallying in warsaw ahead of parliamentary elections later this month. The opposition leader, donald tusk, called the march a breakthrough in polands history but his party is still trailing in the Opinion Polls. It is trying to stop the right wing law and Justice Party from winning an unprecedented third term, saying the government is endangering the democratic gains of the past three decades. The right wing party has accused the opposition of being unpatriotic. We can speak now to lucas pawlowski, a political commentator specialising in polish and american politics, who is now in warsaw.

He met some of his friends from his kindergarten. So he enjoyed at least part of it. It is important because i believe it is important to manifest some people who simply disagree with the undemocratic turn poland has taken a few years ago. I think thats why these marches, this march, two weeks before the election, is so important. We are witnessing a closing of the authoritarian system. The upcoming election is about whether the ruling party will succeed in their venture or will be turned down by the electorate.

The polls cannot work out whether people will be mobilised or will be persuaded may be to stay home and not so much change their mind because it is difficult to change their mind from the ruling party to the opposition. But may be dissatisfied enough with the ruling party to do something. So i think this is what the march was about. This is what the convention of the ruling party, which took place today, was about, as well. Lucas, political commentator specialising in polish and american politics, many thanks for joining us.

Instead, president Zuzana Caputova issued a statement saying the winner bore the greatest responsibility for future developments. The leader of the smer party, robert fico, who could become Prime Minister for the fourth time, says hell stop sending military aid to ukraine. President caputova will not be seeking reelection, blaming a Smear Campaign by robert fico and the smer, who claim shes an agent of washington and the financier george soros.

The rare show of bipartisan unity will keep federal bodies open for a further a5 days. But mr biden expressed disappointment that it did not include any funding for ukraines war effort. He called on the Republican House speaker to ensure this was corrected quickly. Both houses of Congress Approved the billjust before the midnight deadline that would have seen Tens Of Thousands of federal employees placed on furlough and various Government Services suspended. Meanwhile republican hardliners say they will move to oust us House Speaker Kevin Mccarthy over shutdown deal. Earlier i spoke to our North America correspondent sean dilley. My goodness, yesterday was something out of the house of cards. This building behind me did not stop spinning. By lunchtime yesterday it looked like a deal could not be done, but backroom dealings were happening. And that is what has upset various people who now wish to remove Kevin Mccarthy as speaker. He leant on democratic support, bear in mind he is a republican. He leant on democratic support to get through a bill that did not have cuts as deep as republicans wanted. But it did not give what Democratic People wanted. Which was ukrainian funding. This upset the hardliners. One of the main instigators, one of his antagonists, is a gentleman called matt gaetz. We can take a listen to what he said. Kevin mccarthy is going to get his wish. I do not think the adult in the room would let america sit on top of such a high debt. I do not think the adult in the room would allow 8 trillion of this debt to come into refinancing at a higher level without serious Spending Cuts. And i do not think the adult in this room would lie to House Conservatives and that is exactly what Kevin Mccarthy did. That is matt gaetz from florida, the fly in Kevin Mccarthys ointment. He has said that he is going to attempt to vacate the speaker. We can talk about how that may work. Kevin mccarthy had to appeal to the hardline of his party. He is not considered to be a super moderate within the republican party. In order to get elected. When he was elected speaker, he reintroduced an old rule saying that any member democratic or republican could pass a motion to vacate him. What does that mean . If that hits the floor, what is needed is a simple majority, 218 members, to vote him out. He has the narrowest of narrow majorities, but that would be something that democratic politicians would happily oblige him on. They do not trust or like Kevin Mccarthy who has unilaterally announced an Impeachment Inquiry tojoe biden going back on a previous promise to have a vote before doing that. Hes not a well liked man. Democratic politicians know that if they vacate him on the basis that matt gaetz and others including marjorie taylor, other hardliners, they dont like the fact that he passed a bill yesterday, they know that he probably will not get to the position of being able to introduce the promised funding bill on ukraine. No Kevin Mccarthy, potentially no funding bill for ukraine. It is almost a nonstarter for them. Kevin mccarthy has repeated the words that the former british Prime Minister once said i will survive. President erdogan says turkey will continue to fight terror, after a Suicide Bomber blew himself up near the Parliament Building in ankara. Mr erdogan called the attack � the last stand of terror� , as he reopened the parliament for its new session. Two men were involved in a bomb attack on the National Police headquarters in the city the first such incident there since 2016. Two policemen were injured. The Kurdish Militant Group pkk has claimed responsibility for the attack. We can get the latest. What more do we have from that militant group that has claimed responsibility . Brute that has claimed responsibility . We know that has claimed responsibility . Know that pkk has claimed responsibility. The importance of being today, when the Turkish Parliament has resumed its session for the new legislative year. In its statement, which was shared by a website which has close links with the pkk, they basically said they have specifically chosen today and they have specifically chosen that place near to the parliament and they also said that their aim was kind of a limited influence. They said if we wanted more casualties we would choose another time of the day which would result in more casualties. The Turkish Armed forces and the pkk have been in battle for a0 years. There has been a brief time between 2013 and 2015 which we call the Peace Process. But since then the, you know, the attacks have been resumed. But in the capital its the first time in seven years that we have seen an attack actually. The other importance of todayis actually. The other importance of today is that a Pro Kurdish Party in the parliament was prepared to make a call to president erdogan to start another Peace Process or at least shift the policy towards the piece, hence the importance. What shift the policy towards the piece, hence the importance. Shift the policy towards the piece, hence the importance. What do we make of president hence the importance. What do we make of president erdogans i hence the importance.

He is saying the Turkish Government is going to fight with those who they see as terrorists until the end. He said basically they wont be able to reach their aims. It signals that, you know, rather than peace president erdogan and the government and the armed forces will be fighting against the pkk, that is what it signals. What it signals. Thank you very much.

At least 13 people have died in spain after a fire engulfed a nightclub in the southeastern city of murcia. We have had some lovely spells of Sunshine North of the Weather Front today across scotland and Northern Ireland but that front has been hanging around most of the weekend giving in excess of 50 millimetres of rain in parts of north wales and North West England. We saw a heavier pulse of rain working its way up across wales and the midlands early in the day and moving out into the north sea. We saw a heavier pulse of rain working up towards and across wales in the middle of the day and then moving toward the north. It is sinking southwards. Really weve got a lot of cloud through the night. Misty and murky conditions, it has been quite murky around the coast and hills, southern and western areas. You can see why it will be another humid night. The Weather Front is weakening as we go through the night. Temperatures are well above 0ctober averages. On monday it will still be here. Another pulse of rain will be there. Showers to the north and west, but at least some sunshine across some of wales, misty and foggy in their areas, that is to watch out for any morning rush is well over the hills. That weather invigorating as we go through the day, further pulses of rain with it, and to the south further heavy thunder redone pause, hit and miss, slow moving with the light winds, but one in between and subtly feeling pleasant in between the showers further east and across north east england, Eastern Scotland and north east ireland. But through spots in scotland and england and wales through tomorrow evening and tomorrow night, some debate as to how far north it is going to travel, that heavy rain, but it should clear through tuesday and as pressure starts to build we have more of a north westerly wind. The Big Change On Tuesday is a fresher feel, we lose that humid air, a warm night in the south, but sunny spells and scattered showers, quite a brief break as you can see from the isobars, but as the pressure builds hopefully fewer showers in the afternoon and it should feel pleasant enough, 16 19, but it will feel fresher, we have lost that humidity in the south, at least temporarily. Tuesday into wednesday we have our next Weather Front rolling in off the atlantic, wetter weather in the evening and overnight for scotland, then it becomes slow moving through parts of Northern Ireland and North West Wales and to the south of that early mist clearing, to the north and a scattering of showers. Goodbye. Live from london. This is bbc news at least 13 people have died in spain after a fire engulfed a nightclub in the southeastern city of murcia. Britains Prime Minister rishi sunak refuses to commit to tax cuts before the next election, despite unrest among his own mps. A ban on some Single Use Plastics comes into force with businesses risking heavy fines if they dont comply. The conservative Party Conference is under way in manchester and in the past few hours weve heard from the uks defence secretary, grant shapps, who has said the uks support for the nato Military Alliance is unwavering. Ahead of the conference, the Prime Minister rishi sunak has been talking to the bbc� s laura kuennsberg. There are divisions among the tories on major issues including tax, High Speed Rail, and immigration. But she started the interview by asking him about the tory party him him being pro motorist. Youve come out as a big supporter of drivers talking about him the war on motorists. Weve had a look at some of the people fighting that war, one of them and score more, the council proposing a speed limit of 20 miles an hour, the kind you say a speed limit of 20 miles an hour, the kind you say is anti british but they are a conservative council. Good morning and fantastic to be with you. When it comes to the point a run driving, but it occurred to me as i went around the country talking to be a sense lots of people wanted to stop making life easier for people using their cars him but cars for most people are the form of transport they rely on most, it is the freedom it gives you, to get around and do your day to day life and for too many people it felt like everyone was trying to stop them doing that, imposing blanket speed restrictions in wales, thats what we have seen from the labour government. We have had a very close look at what is happening in wales and its similar to what the Cornwall Council is proposing and similar to your part of the world in North Yorkshire over 100 Parish Councils want a 20 mile an hour limit so if you think its the wrong thing is you explained, will you stop conservative councils bringing in these plans . This is about local people being in the driving seat and its about making sure things are not imposed on local communities and of course it makes sense to have speed limits around for Example School areas, Everyone Wants safety for our children but these need to be done with consent and that cannot be part of the war on motorists. When i was chancellor, i cut fuel duty by a Record Amount to help people with the cost of living, and we have seen again, you talk about the ultra low Emission Zones, ordinary families being forced to pay £12. 50 to take their kids to school or do the weekly shop, all of these things do not strike me as being right for the country and it is right we reset the balance. I would like you to be really clear about what youre actually proposing. 0ur viewers will have heard you expressed sympathy for people who think driving is pretty tough these days but lets be really clear about what you are proposing. Will you stop councils for that they are conservative, labour or any colour of the rainbow, stop them introducing 20 mile an hour zones as a default because that is really what is at stake here . You can complain about that as lots of our viewers might do but will you stop it happening because if you dont, its just rhetoric. This is about making sure statutory guidance that goes to local councils from government is clear about making sure councils which are obviously in charge of what is happening in their local areas, are doing things with the support and consent of the local Community Taking into account the needs of their community. But if they have that, they can crack on. The Transport Secretary will set out the detail of this. You have been talking about this for the last few days, making a big pitch on it so can be clear of local councils are democratically elected they should be able to do it . What they should be allowed to do is act in accordance with Government Guidance and that is what we bring forward, taking sure council him guidance and that is what we bring forward, making sure Council Guidance about how things are done is done with regards to the needs and wants of local people. And labour run wales, a Blanket Imposition of a 20 miles an hourspeed limit. Hundreds of people have risen up against that. Give you a sense of strength of feeling on this issue and i want people to know we are on their side. But you havent said if democratically elected local people and councils want to do it they can do it and thats important because i think some of this in the last few days, people might think your love for motorist seems to have come to you and the conservative party quite recently . A conservative government told cities to bring in clean Air Zone Switch was top of the drivers of older vehicles, a conservative mayor who first introduced and announced the low Emission Zone in london, conservative councils have been introducing 20 mile an hour zones and juno, a Sceptic Mightjust Wonder An Hour Zones and, you know, a sceptic mightjust wonder if your new found passion for this agenda comes from the fact youve been in the doldrums in the Opinion Polls for a long time and you hung on in 0xbridge in the london subway by campaigning against the ultra low Emission Zone that your party put forward as a plan . That is what is happening, isnt it . You failed to mention when i was chancellor i cut fuel duty by a Record Amount. As previous chancellors did before you in long running campaigns. What i did was cut at by the largest among pretty much on record saving drivers £100 a year over the past year, i did that a long time ago and we talked about the ultra low Emission Zones. When it came to charting a course on net zero i set out a way to get there, more pragmatic and proportionate and realistic and will save families five, ten, up to £20,000. Those figures are disputed about who will save and what and when. That was not a kneejerk reaction to the uxbridge by election. For a long time i have had concerns about the costs we are being asked of Working Families when it comes to meeting net zero targets and i came to the view we could meet world leading targets because we are doing more than anyone else, we could do it any more pragmatic and realistic way that saves people costs, not necessarily replacing their bowlers, especially in rural areas let macroi get there especially in rural areas and i get there will be criticism of that, i am fine with that because at the right long term decision. You say you had these concerns about the cost of the net zero targets would impose for a long time. You were at the Cabinet Table busily supporting borisjohnson and his net zero targets. Is it the case you disagreed with him privately and you are raising these concerns . Or have you onlyjust realised the cost may potentially have been, which is it . I have raised his concerns in the past but ive been Prime Minister for less than a year and im responsible for that now. When you were chancellor you were unhappy about the targets . I raised concerns at the time about the pressure is being put on families and 1. 1 made the other week, when we debate this in parliament, when we set a Carbon Budget in parliament that says this is how we will reduce carbon emissions, the country should also consider all the things that are required to meet the budget and that seems to me to be the sensible way to do this. What i do not like is the way we have done this in the past because its not being honest with people, i want to do things differently, change our country, we must approach politics differently this and is an example of it, being upfront about what is required, saying these are the costs that are being put on people, i do not agree and i think we can still get there without them, i am confident of that, we are not walking away from any of our targets and i think that is the position that will command the broad support of the british people. Can you be honest . By slowing down the pace of hitting the net zero target which you explained you wanted to do, pretty much every single environmental expert including lots of conservatives who care passionately about this, say the obvious logic here is that you are slowing down uks progress to hitting its climate targets and that is a short term political calculation because youve had heat from the right in your party about the green agenda . Rightly or wrongly can you be honest with everyone watching an say politics as part of it because you are worried politics is part of it because you are worried about being unpopular . Absolutely not because i am focused on doing what is right for the country in the long term. Lets go over the facts. We had de carbonised faster than any other major g7 economy, a fact. We have a target for how much we are going to decarbonise, who is the best . We are, down 68 . But that is not a reason to give up something because you are good at that. We are decarbonising faster than everyone else. And there are plenty of analysts on this who say that us. This is so important, we are not off track, we are ahead of other countries and we will continue to do that and we have an obligation to meet the targets and we will do, that is what the analysis says but be conditional in a more proportionate and pragmatic weight saving people thousands of pounds until the critics, and you are right there are critics, the question for them is why do they think it is right to impose costs of as much as £20,000 on families to do something we do not think it is necessary to meet world leading net zero targets . It is fine to criticise me and disagree but you to families that. That is a question we have asked you many times on this programme. That is an example of doing things differently and doing the right thing for the country in the long term. Lets talk about the longer term projects and dimension tracks there and that is a seamless segue. Yes or no, will High Speed Rail, hs2 come to this part of the world . Theres already space on the ground. I will not comment on speculation, we have space on the ground and are getting on with it but its right to focus on levelling up. Can ijust stop you there . You were the Prime Minister of this country, this is not asking you about speculation, you are not a columnist or a backbencher with an axe to grind, or someone from the rail industry, you are the Prime Minister of this country and this is your decision. Is this going to happen or not . As i said, we have got spades on the ground, i will not comment on further speculation but what we are doing is committed to levelling up across the country. Today we have announced a new plan, Long Term Plan to focus on people in towns, more people live in towns and big cities and they do not get the attention they deserve and my view is we need to focus on the long term things that will make towns better places to live, put local people in control and that is why we are backing them with £1 billion of funding to help 55 towns across the country to level up with better high streets, more security, less homelessness and making sure to protect civic assets and they will be given long term endowment funding, £20 million per town empowering local people and putting them in charge of decisions to help support them and that is an example of levelling up in action. Many people might be pleased to hear about that but you say you are committed to long term Decision Making and yet you are visibly refusing to make a long term decision at this stage about hs2. You have even got it branded on your slogan at the conference, long term decisions for a Brighter Future and yet you will not tell people that this is an on hs2 . It is notjust about your political critics picking you up on this, its also people in your own party, businesses are alarmed by your wobbling on this decision, and the street, the mayor of the west midlands, a conservative says the wobbling over hs2 risks making the uk look like a Laughing Stock . I completely reject that, i speak to Business Leaders all the time, ive been around the world in america, japan, europe and attracting billions of pounds of investment into this country and you talk about levelling up . We have created free ports in places like teesside, record investment coming in. Because we have left the eu we can now sign a trade deal and Fastest Growing parts of the world like asia. That is what i hear from Business Leaders around the world. You know well that there has been concern over changing the goalposts on net zero and on the hs2 wobble on the decision, whenever we get it, changing your mind may be the right thing to do but it has a cost . I would like to play our viewers and you are clipped. It has become clear to me over recent months that the conservative party are drifting out of touch with the needs of business, or the environment and also the everyday people that my Business Touches and serves. That is richard walker, i know some of your colleagues will say he is grumpy because he wanted to be a conservative mp and has not found a seat to run in but he is a big boss of iceland, important company, he is hacked off, former Prime Ministers hacked off over your wobble on hs2, A Big Group Of Tory Mps rattling your cage demanding tax cuts. Youve even got michael gove, your close colleague, saying they should be tax cuts before the General Election. With your changes of heart, have you got your party under control . With richard, i think he was trying to stand as a conservative candidate but he talked about net zero and making sure we prioritise working people, that is a decision weve made. But the impact of speaking people. Change may be uncomfortable for people and they may be critical of it but i believe i am doing the right thing for the country. I will not shy away from that. If i believe its good to chart a new way for net zero and save families up to £20,000, i will do it. Anyone else wants to be critical but that decision, anyone else wants to be critical of that decision, i am ok with that and they should be the ones to explain why they think it is right, and pick some people, they might be able to afford it and people do not think it is right and of course i want to cut taxes. The best tax cut i can deliver for the british people is to half inflation, but was one of the first acts. Laura, if i could please. Please, this is really important. You said something i completely disagree with. Inflation is a tax, you said it isnt. It is a tax impacting the poorest people the most and that is why the best tax cut i can deliver is to have inflation and that is why set out as the economically the impact it has. Efforts of the prices of things, effectively axing as a tax and that is why we are bringing it down and the plan is working. My question to you this morning is about the impact of the changes that you have been making and youre explaining that you think they are the right things to do and basically saying bring it they are the right things to do and basically saying bring it on to your critics, but on the one specific, your close colleague michael gove says you should commit to cutting taxes for working people before the next election so will you make that commitment . As i have said the best tax cut we can get people is to have inflation. I am a conservative and i want to cut taxes but you asked me about making changes. Change may be difficult but i believe the country wants change and i will do things differently to bring that about and you saw that when it came to this question, the most important priority we face is to bring down inflation, inflation putting prices up, making people feel worse off and the quicker we bring that down the better it is. And we are making good progress. You can start to see in the last few months the numbers are coming down. I know things are tough and there is work to do. That was Laura Kuenssberg questioning the Prime Minister. More reaction to that on the website. In the last few minutes, the president of the United States, joe biden told republicans to � stop the games over the us shutdown its after a partial shutdown of the federal government was narrowly avoided after both house and senate agreed on a short term funding deal. Folks, the truth is we should not be here in the first place, we should not of gotten in the first place. It is time to end governing by crisis and keep your word when youre giving did in congress. A few months ago, after a long negotiation between myself republican speaker, and the house of representatives, we tend to agree on a Budget Agreement precisely to avoid a manufactured crisis that we have just witnessed. At the last few days and weeks, extreme republicans try to walk away from the deal in voting for deep drastic Spending Cuts from 30 to 80 . That wouldve been devastating to millions of americans. It failed again and we stopped them. But im under no illusions that they will be back again, where i come from, when you make a deal coming to give your word, you keep it. You gave your word, you keep it. You gave your word and you do what you say youre going to do. You keep your word. I expect Republican Congress to honour their word and keep the deal they made months ago when they tried to threaten us with almost International Bankruptcy by not paying their debts. Four sport and for a full round up, from the bbc starting in italy and europe have won the ryder cup. On a final day of Singles Matches the home team needed four points to regain the trophy in rome.

There was a Nightmare Spell for the hosts, nottingham forest, with Moussa Niakhate sent offjust before the hour mark and a couple of minutes later brentfords captain Christian Norgaard got the opening goal. But Nicolas Dominguez brought Forest Back Level shortly after and it finished 1 all at the city ground. Forest move up to 11th while brentford end the weekend in 13th place in the permier leageu we just havent been able to turn some of her good positions in the real threatening moments that is an evolution of the team are trying to change a little bit with players of we brought in and we know step by step and its only a Second Season back in the Premier League but have really become the team that we want to be, then that is a part of the game that we have to look more of a threat than we have been. But that is the exciting bed and theres work to do we have Young Players we know they can make a difference we have the talent lets carry on working. To the opening day of the Womens Super League where liverpool had a surprise 1 nil victory over arsenal thanks to a second half goal from miri taylor. That match was played in front of a record wsl crowd of over 5a thousand at emirates stadium. There were wins for manchester united, brighton, Leicester City and manchester city. Wsl champions, chelsea are in action against tottenham, that game kicked off about 20 minutes ago its currently nil nil. Now to the Rugby World Cup where australia are facing portugal in pool c. In a match theyll be hoping to win comfortably. The latest score 2a 7 to australia theyve just kicked off the second half. After that match the defending champions south africa are up against tonga. A Bonus Point Win for south africa would set them on course for the quarterfinals. But tonga still have a chance if they can pull off an unlikely victory. Jorge martin capped a fantastic weekend with victory in a rain affected japanese motogp. The spaniard set a new lap record on the Motegi Circuit to qualify in Pole Position and also won saturdays sprint race. Marteen was leading sundays grand prix when it was red flagged and because of the rain shortened with just 12 of the 2a laps being completed, but full points were awarded and the spanish rider moves to within three points of ducatis championship leader francesco bagnaia, who finished in second place. Hondas marc marquez was third. For sure we are closing this and i think we are rife in this situation and pushing and putting pressure and trying to win and enjoying the moment, we say, it is like a dream and we need to keep dreaming. And thats all the sport for now. A ban on some Single Use Plastics has come into force in england today with businesses risking heavy fines if they dont comply. Retailers, takeaways and Hospitality Firms can no longer supply certain plastic items including cutlery, Polystyrene Cups and food containers. Single use plastic plates, trays and bowls will also be restricted. Earlier, we heard from sandy luk the Chief Executive at Marine Conservation society. At the Marine Conservation society, we have been Cleaning Beaches and collecting data and analysing the data from the little that we thought since 199a and that data that we have collected really shows that plastic such huge problem for consistencies in the fact that some of these Single Use Plastics have been banned as a positive step forward in protecting 0cs.

And i turtles and dolphins, they get entangled in Plastic Waste and then they drown. And on top of that, plastic also carries harmful chemicals with that in just this year, i was so lucky to be observing a part of workers led by a 70 year old Grandma Speranza and she was the matriarch of the family with her two grandsons were in the 20s and her daughter who was 68 and that dolphin orca pa rt orca part hadnt had any caliphs since 2001 and the orca population hasnt had calves and two decades and that is because of the plastic and that is because of the plastic and chemical pollution that is causing those effects and all of these are very much connected and damaging to marine life.

Weve had some lovely spells of sunshine across scotland and Northern Ireland, but the Weather Front has been hanging around most of the weekend. Weve got excess of 50 ml of rain in north wales and North West England. We saw a heavier pulse of rain working up towards and across wales in the middle of the day and then moving toward the north. It is sinking southwards. Really, weve got a lot of cloud through the night. Misty and murky conditions, it has been quite murky around the coast and hills, southern and western areas. You can see why it will be another humid night. The Weather Front is weakening as we go through the night. Temperatures are well above 0ctober averages. On monday it will still be here. Another pulse of rain will be there. Showers to the north and west, but at least some sunshine across some of wales, misty and foggy in their areas, that is to watch out for any morning rush is well over the hills. That weather invigorating as we go through the day, further pulses of rain with it, and to the south further heavy thundery downpours, hit and miss, slow moving with the light winds, but one in between and subtly feeling pleasant in between the showers further east and across north east england, Eastern Scotland and north east ireland. But through spots in scotland and england and wales through tomorrow evening and tomorrow night, some debate as to how far north it is going to travel, that heavy rain, but it should clear through tuesday and as pressure starts to build we have more of a north westerly wind. The Big Change On Tuesday is a fresher feel, we lose that humid air, a warm night in the south, but sunny spells and scattered showers, quite a brief break as you can see from the isobars, but as the pressure builds hopefully fewer showers in the afternoon and it should feel pleasant enough, 16 19, but it will feel fresher, we have lost that humidity in the south, at least temporarily. Tuesday into wednesday we have our next Weather Front rolling in off the atlantic, wetter weather in the evening and overnight for scotland, then it becomes slow moving through parts of Northern Ireland and North West Wales and to the south of that early mist clearing, to the north and a scattering of showers.
