Into wednesday. We start to see this High Pressure move over towards the north sea. That will allow the low pressure system with its weather front to push a bit further northwards and eastward through the day. So it could be that parts of scotla nd day. So it could be that parts of scotland in North Eastern england will hold onto the sunniest weather after a cold start. Further south, sunshine will be hazy and then it is cloudier skies for northern ireland, wales, south west of england with outbreaks of rain. Quite breezy. Sides of things being milder moving in. Otherwise a cold day for most northern and eastern errors. Then it looks like as we head on into thursday this area of low pressure begins to invade as High Pressure retreats back to the near continent.

Welcome to hardtalk, im stephen sackur. The long and bloody conflict in Northern Ireland was known euphemistically as the troubles. One aspect of it got a separate label, the dirty war. That was the name given to the covert operations of the British State both army and intelligence infiltrating the ira, running informers and agents to undermine the Republican Movement from within. One agent was my guest today, willie carlin, who became an undercover spy within the political wing of the ira, sinn fein. Hes written a book exposing his secrets. How does he justify what he did . Willie carlin, welcome to hardtalk. Thank you for having me. It is actually quite extraordinary having you in the studio given you were an undercover spy in the 70s and the 80s at an extraordinarily dangerous, sensitive time in Northern Ireland and you then went in hiding, you lived in secret. Why have you now, later in life, decided to come out of the shadows . I think its because its time. You know, im 71 now. An

Its about 2 30am. Now its time for a look back at the day in parliament. Hello again, and welcome to monday in parliament, as borisjohnson tries and fails to force an early general election. The electorate will, im afraid, have a sense that we are all like charlie brown, endlessly running up to kick the ball, only to have Parliament Take it away. The lib dems want an early poll too, but its not their first choice. If there is not the support for a peoples vote in this parliament, then we need to look at the other way to do that. And in john bercows last week as speaker, an mp finally discovers how to impress him. He really is an encyclopaedia of arguably useful information. But first, Boris Johnsons latest attempt to persuade mps to vote for an early general election has failed. 0n the very day the Prime Minister had to accept a delay to brexit. We are not now leaving on thursday. Mrjohnson wants to hold an election on december the 12th, but under the law to thirds of mps, 434 of them,
