post trial. julian assange s fiancee has said we will appeal against that decision. you re watching bbc news: there will be more on thatjulian assange decision, the latest in a long running saga. now it s time for a look at the weather with stav danaos. hello there. it has been a cold start today, an early ice warning across parts of scotland and northern ireland and the far north west of england has now been lifted but it stays chilly today with temperatures below par for the time of year, mid single figures for most, but look at the change into the weekend. we start to change air masses, something much milder with values closer to the mid teens for some of them, so that really will be noticeable. we have lost that weather front across eastern areas which brought all the rain overnight, then it is a bright afternoon, sunshine and showers, blustery across northern and western areas, some heavy hail, thunder, some winteriness over the higher ground.
