Western areas tonight. Central and eastern, and southern areas of the uk will tend to clear. Where the skies clear in the north it could be very chilly, down to 5 degrees. Towns and cities nowhere near as cold. Tomorrow, showers return. There will be fewer across more southern areas, most of them across scotland, Northern Ireland and Western Areas.

Allow american firms to brand their whiskies as scotch. Our Business Correspondent joe lynam reports. Under eu rules of origin, any spirit described as Scotch Whiskey must be aged released three years and matured in scotland. But the Scottish Government says the us negotiators during the recent trade talks with the eu had wanted this definition to be relaxed to accommodate its whiskey makers. So now holyrood wants the eu definition of scotch to be incorporated into uk law after brexit. That is because Whiskey Making supports 20,000 jobs and is worth £4 billion to scotland. We have to make absolutely certain that any deal done with the us protects scottish jobs. If that deal does not protect the definition of whiskey as a spirit matured for three years or more, it weakens that definition and we will lose scottish jobs in the whiskey industry. 10,000 jobs depend on it, another 10,000 in the supply chain. So we tell liam fox, dont tangle with the scottish whiskey industry, protect it. Do
Franchises, you know exactly where you are. This is such a different beast the plot involves a young girl who logan finds himself having to take care of, although initially he doesnt want to. He is forced to do so by circumstances. The real themes of the film are violence and redemption as i said there is a big western theme. It refers again and again to shane, and im thinking of movies like Clint Eastwoods unforgiven. There is a line that recurs time and time again, there is no living with the killing. Some of the violence does involve a young child, it is bloody and brutal and genuinely properly shocking. Like deadpool this is a 15 certificate it is not a film for kids. But unlike deadpool, it is played completely straight it is not played for goofy laughs. It is played as a film about what happens when you get old, when you are looking back and trying to make sense of your life, when you are trying to find some kind of redemption in a world which is fundamentally broken. As i said,
Days news, but now it is time for newswatch. Welcome to newswatch. On this weeks programme, they got their envelopes mixed up, but did bbc news get its News Priorities the wrong way round . We discuss complaints that the embarrassment of the oscars was reported on as if it was an event of major global significance but really, was it . Did you know that things did not go entirely as planned at the oscars this year . Thought so. Any bbc News Programme on monday, the strange events on stage were hard to avoid. It really should not have been that difficult, opening the right envelope at the right time and naming the right film, but at the oscars last night in front of a global audience of billions, it all went horribly wrong. Warren beatty and faye dunaway announced to the world that the winner of best film was george best all by la la land, but the only problem, it wasnt. As well as taking a significant airtime, the envelope mix up occupied the first seven or 0 envelope mix up occupied th
