Team gbs most successful canoeist, Liam Heath, has added to his olympic Medal Haul with a bronze in the K1 200 Metres sprint. And coming up this hour 15 Million of us live with a long Term Condition but are some Social Media influencers faking illnesses for fame, Money And Attention. Fully vaccinated travellers will no longer need to quarantine on Arrivalfrom France , as part of a Shake Up of Coronavirus Travel rules in england, scotland and Northern Ireland. Seven more European Countries have been added to the green list, while spain will remain amber despite concerns about covid variants there. Other changes include india, bahrain, qatar and the United Arab Emirates , switching from red to amber , meaning arrivals from those countries will no longer have to quarantine in government approved accommodation. While austria, germany, slovenia, slovakia, latvia, Romania And Norway will be moved onto the green list. But Georgia And Mexico have been now be added to the Red List , the highest level of restrictions. This report from our transport correspondent, caroline davies. A near empty swimming pool, few tents pitched and no one propping up the bar. This would normally be the busiest time of year at this campsite in western france, but at the moment, theyre half empty. Hopefully therell be a flurry of last minute campers. Were hoping so, especially in september with the older couples who normally come who dont have families. I think its too late for families to come because they will have booked elsewhere in The Uk. Across the channel, these british Holiday Makers are staying home. With the kids and too late in summer, weve already had to change my holiday. I work for the nhs, so ive had to change my holiday that way. I couldnt quarantine when i get back, so, yeah, This Is It for us this year. Its too risky to commit to an overseas holiday right now in my opinion. Its too much of an issue, effort to get tested. Ijust feel a bit safer in my own country, quite frankly, at the moment. Even though they make those changes, they can make the changes again. There are new additions to the green list, including germany, but of the seven countries added, only two will allow in non vaccinated vaccinated tourists without quarantine. Spain is still amber, but the government is advising passengers to have the more expensive Pcr Test rather than the cheaper lateral Flow Test before they depart for The Uk. What we do want to do is just be able to work with the clinicians, with the experts in spain in order to just keep a very close eye on this Beta Variant that we already know so much more about now, and Pcr Tests enable us to do that. Labour have argued the government are still overcomplicating travel. If having this confusion, having these Changes Country by country almost on a weekly basis now doesnt help the industry, it doesnt help passengers and it doesnt help instil confidence in the government. Some countries are going from red to amber, including the uae. It means neil, who lives in dubai, will be able to see his one year old grandson for the first time in a year. Despite the anger i feel towards the government, i can now put that behind me and we can now look forward and we can travel, so thats really good. And we can almost get our lives back to a form of normality of being able to see our friends and family. Country by country, more of the world is opening up to Uk Travellers, but well into summer and after months of uncertainty, the question is how many will want to make the trip .

We have lots of questions regarding travel to europe. One in five patients admitted to hospital with Covid I9 in england are aged between 18 and 34 which is four times higher than last Winter. Thats according to the new Chief Executive of Nhs England, who says there are currentlyjust under 5,000 coronavirus patients in english hospitals. Speaking in Herfirst Television Interview since being appointed, Amanda Pritchard said the numbers of young people affected should be an incentive for others to get vaccinated it is still very important that for those people who have not yet taken the opportunity to come forward, or they know somebody who hasnt, this is the time. And the reason it is so important is we have as of today, over 5000 people really unwell in hospital. One in five, 20 , are young people. So in that 18 to 30 category. And that compares with one in 20 at the peak injanuary time. Looking into this further is our very own Health Editor Hugh pym. Take us through the breakdown of these figures. It is take us through the breakdown of these figures these figures. It is a striking fiuure, these figures. It is a striking figure. One these figures. It is a striking figure, one in these figures. It is a striking figure, one in five these figures. It is a striking figure, one in five hospital. Figure, one in five Hospital Admissions last month were under 35, between 18 and 34. It might be a Wake Up Call to some, a reminder that young people who are not vaccinated can get seriously ill. That being said, there were far more in absolute terms injanuary admitted in the peak when only one and 20 were between 18 and 34. We have to bear that in mind. We could argue, it is a bit of a Wake Up Call, but it shows the success of the Vaccination Programme, there are relatively an proportionate terms you are or more vulnerable people in hospital because they have been vaccinated and have had both vaccinations. The point Nhs England are making it shows the Vaccination Programme is working but those who are not vaccinated, younger people, they are urging them to come forward now, to do so because there is a risk of getting seriously ill and ending up in hospital. Risk of getting seriously ill and ending up in hospital. Thank you very much a man is due to appear before magistrates in Cardiff Today charged with murdering a five year old boy. Logan Mwangis Body was found in a River In Bridgend last week after police were called to a report of a missing child. 39 year old John Cole is also accused of perverting the course ofjustice, along with a 30 year old woman and a 13 year old boy. The un says its deeply concerned about the safety of tens of thousands of civilians in the afghan city of Lashkar Gah the capital of helmand province. Taliban militants and government forces are waging an intense battle for control of the city. A Un Spokesman said there were reports of increased civilian casualties, and of homes and hospitals being destroyed. Afghan and us Air Strikes on taliban positions continued throughout wednesday. Lets get more from our South Asia Editor Anbarasan Ethirajan the latest details on what is going on in Lashkar Gah. The the latest details on what is going on in Lashkar Gah. On in Lashkar Gah. The Afghan Military says on in Lashkar Gah. The Afghan Military says they on in Lashkar Gah. The Afghan Military says they have on in Lashkar Gah. The afghan L Military says they have launched on in Lashkar Gah. The Afghan Military says they have launched a joint operation to clear the cities of the militants in the fighting they are in Lashkar Gah. The fighting has been going on for eight or nine days and it has become bone of convention between the two sides because the caliban who launched the attacks on three major cities in the west and in the south wanted to pull a point that they were in a position to capture provincial capitals, and if it had happened it would have been a huge blow to the afghan government. Now the afghan government says they are lodging a Clearing Operation in Lashkar Gah. There is also concern about what is going to happen to the civilians because the regional commander urged the civilians to leave to carry out an operation against taliban militants. A dozen people have been killed and are inflicting casualties on each other. Both sides are known to make huge claims about casualties. I am lookin claims about casualties. I am looking at claims about casualties. I am looking at a claims about casualties. I am looking at a comment claims about casualties. I am looking at a comment here. Claims about casualties. I am looking at a comment here from the general who is the former commander of American Forces in afghanistan and he is expressing concern that we could see a return to the 1990s and a fully fledged civil war. Maw; a fully fledged civil war. Many commanders a fully fledged civil war. Many commanders have a fully fledged civil war. Many commanders have expressedl a fully fledged civil war. Ij� ia� Iy Commanders have expressed that opinion. If you look at afghanistan, it is not one community all across the country, there are many different communities in the population who are spread out throughout the company. In the 19905, throughout the company. In the 1990s, they were fighting against the americans, the russians, and later on with the americans, it is becoming more complicated because the government, talking about a popular forces, the government, talking about a popularforces, arming several groups, In The City there is a local warlord who was galvanising people to fight against the caliban with the Afghan Military managing to push back these militants. If these people are armed, will it turn into an ethnic rivalry between these groups . Many commanders are worried where this will lead to, if the Afghan Army alone is fighting, that is a different story, but when you are talking about popular uprising forces, providing arms to the local population to stand against the caliban, and with a country like afghanistan with different ethnic groups, that can create a problem and that is the concern that many people are expressing. Its been confirmed this morning that the rugby League World Cup, which was due to be held in england in the autumn, is off. The tournament will be postponed until next year after the withdrawal of defending Champions Australia ,and new zealand, over Player Welfare and safety concerns, related to covid. The world cup, featuring mens, womens and wheelchair events, was set to start in newcastle in october. Day 13 of the Tokyo Olympics is well under way. Lets go to the Bbc Sport Centre and talk to Mike Bushell who has been following all the action. What is happening and what can we look forward to . Good morning. Day 13 of the olympics has been full of surprises. Not the Medal Rush of previous days, for Team Gb, but there was a bronze on the water, for Liam Heath, while on the athletics track, hopes have been raised, after the return, of one of britains biggest names, as Michael Redford reports. And there is dina ashley smith, flying around this bend. This was a sight we did not expect to see. Gb Star Sprinter back from a Ham String Injury and back on top alongside asha philip, imana Lansiquot And Daryll neita. The foursome won theyr 4 by 100 Metre Relay Heat comfortably. An created history too. 41. 54, well, that is a new british record. In my head, there was never any doubt in my mind that i was not going to be to back, well, not lining up here today because the relay is really important. We got a Bronze Medal in rio and i know that these ladies are in great shape and they are incredibly talented. And so i knew that i could rest up and get ready for the team event. And with the example set, could britains men follow suit . They could, but it wasnt quite as straightforward. Second place behind jamaica, enough to see them qualify for tomorrows final which will not include the usa who also suffered disappointment in the mens 110 metre hurdles final. Grant holloway had gone 24 races unbeaten, but lost when it mattered most. What a Shock Jamaicas Hansel pachment meant rewriting the record books. Britains Andrew Pozzi finished seventh. And from sprinting on track to sprinting in a canoe where Liam Heath was aiming to defend his 0lympic title. A poor start meant that he had work to do. His comeback, though, was impressive. There is going to be inches in it. Sadly, he ran out of time, the third olympic games for heath ends with a fourth 0lympic metal. I was a bit, maybe, hesitant at the start, didnt reach my full potential in terms of peak speed. Still happy with the performance. Its hard to find words, really. Its what you are working towards, just to be at your best for these events. And ive learnt so much along myjourney. While galal Yafais Journey Isnt over yet. He won his semifinal in the Mens Boxing Flyweight event, winning on is by Decision Meaning Gold was within touching distance. As was this Cameraman Cameraman when the Skateboarding Event didnt quite go to plan. Down, but not out, and still professional enough to keep filming. Fist bumps, well deserved. Katarina Johnson Thompson has reacted on Social Media, after her Heptathlon Medal hopes were ended by a Calf Injury in the 200 metres yesterday. In a statement she revealed she was in a wheelchair at the start of the year after rupturing her achilles last december, and that it was, � a miracle to make the start line. The reigning World Champion added that it � will take a lot of time to process� what has happened. In the velodrome, great Britains Jason Kenny is up against it in the Mens Sprint Quarter finals. Britains most decorated 0lympian had lost his last 16 race and had to qualify through the repechage. Which gave him a difficult quarter final against Harrie Lavreysen of the netherlands, whos already got a Gold Medal from the team sprint. And the dutch rider came out on top in the first race of three. Jack carlin had a better start with an impressive victory against the experienced Maximilian Levy of germany in both cases, its the best of three to get into the semis. Great britains Katy Marchant crashed out of the Womens Keirin as she and dutch Rider Laurine Van riessen colided in their quarter final. Luckily marchant is okay she said after the race that she was � in the wrong place at the wrong time as the dutch rider cut across her. Some impressive scenes in the aquatics centre, as 14 year old quan Hong Chan of china, got gold. She scored two perfect dives with 10s across the Board In The Process and this is why. Flawless. Britains andrea, Spendolini Siriex who Isjust 16 and lois toulson, finished. 7th and 9th respectively in the 10 Metre Platform final. Thats all the sport for now. You can find more on all those stories on the Bbc Sport website. Bbc. Co. Uk sport. Lets stay with the olympics now and get more on reaction to Team Gb� s defending champion, Liam Heath, winning a Bronze Medal in the mens 200 metres kayaking sprint.

If those allegations received by police, 207 cases where they believe an offence may have been committed, they have identified. They are offences on Social Media, you will remember that following the Penalty Shoot out the final when england sadly didnt win the match, that Marcus Rashford, Jayden Sancho were abused very quickly after that incident on the pitch online. Police say they have identified approximately 35 Social Media accounts so far and they have got requests to Social Media companies for the names of the people behind another 50. They have arrested 11 people so far, including a 21 year old man and a 49 year old woman from christchurch in dorset as well as men from various parts of the country in their 40s and 50s. What can you tell us about the new campaign that Marcus Rashford has launched . Still concerned that children are getting the right amount of food. He children are getting the right amount of food. Amount of food. He took the Government Amount of food. He took the government on amount of food. He took the government on last amount of food. He took the government on last Summerj Amount of food. He took the government on last summer when he managed to get the government to agree to extend Free School Meals throughout the summer holidays, very high profile campaign, fuelled by support on Social Media. He has written an Open Letter to the british medicaljournal saying that 40 of the families who are entitled to the Government Food vouchers have not yet signed up to get access to that help from the government. He is saying they really need to take up the offer. It is good food, good for families, it improves their health and Well Being and he wants them to get what they are able to get from this government scheme. The government says it is spending 400 Million pounds on helping low income families but i think Marcus Rashford is making it clear that he is prepared to take part in this campaigning given his high profile on Social Media. Lets return to our top story now and the changes to rules around international travel which come into effect on sunday. Lets talk to the transport secretary, grant shapps. Thank you forjoining us. I want to start with mexico because many people are heading abroad. Do we know how many british people are out there at the moment . We know how many british people are out there at the moment .

We think there are five to 6000 british people in are five to 6000 british people in mexico and they will be making arrangements to come home. And mexico, unlike the European Countries going onto the green light, does not have the same level of vaccination and i imagine it has made a more tricky situation there. Mexico is on the Red List, many people will be saying that spain for example, or even brands and even india, lets take those three countries. They are seeing another rise in cases. Brands have shown that they are now reintroducing certain restrictions, how can you guarantee people who are travelling that whilst they are out there, those countries wont go back onto the Red List . In those countries wont go back onto the Red List . The Red List . In the last year we have taken the Red List . In the last year we have taken the the Red List . In the last year we have taken the advice the Red List . In the last year we have taken the advice of the Red List . In the last year we have taken the advice of scientists, they know that the approach of having people double vaccinated is very important, it has enabled us to open up too many European Locations as their Vaccination Levels have become higher enabling travel to take place. Rather than last summer having weekly reviews of this, people looking over their shoulders when they went away on holiday, the reviews are taking place on a three weekly basis so the people who are they can relax and enjoy their holiday and their well earned breaks and the next changes are not due until The End of the month barring anything completely unexpected, people do not have to watch to a chart to keep up with the news. For travellers who have to quarantine, for example, from mexico, do you have enough hotels and why are you raising the price of Quarantine Hotels . ,. , hotels . Yes, there will be enough hotels, hotels . Yes, there will be enough hotels. With hotels . Yes, there will be enough hotels, with the hotels .

Yes, there will be enough i hotels, with the government manage Quarantine Programme which works to hotels, the principal has been said that it should pay for itself. It should not be the situation that the general public pays through its taxes for these Quarantine Facilities for people coming from Red List countries. Currently, it has cost about £75 million to run that to the taxpayer, so there will be increases in prices which come in on the 12th Of August for quarantine managed hotels. We do not want people travelling to Red List countries, people who are not Uk Citizens Cannot Travel here from Red Lights countries, they are very much of the reservation as far as travel is concerned right now, but some countries have come off the Red List including india as you for a lot of people, it is whether they are caught out whilst they are there so i thought it was worth asking the question. Turning back to france, it has come off the Amber Plus list, does that mean Amber Plus is defunct . Brute plus list, does that mean Amber Plus is defunct . ~ , , is defunct .

This short delay of having france on just a regular Amber List enabled them to do that. They have said they have been satisfied so we reverted and some five the system.

At one point, we were not sure whether they were going to take part, and now they have, people say there are no crowds and goodness knows what. The majority of us watching have forgotten that there is no crowd and there has been drama pretty much in every sport in every discipline, including athletics. So it has been pretty gripping stuff.

But he has really struggled with injury and there were some glimmers of hope in the last couple of years but this is the olympic games, you have got to be in shape, on form, and as i always say, you have got to be physically in shape and mentally in shape and these have got to be firing on all cylinders for you to perform at your best and we have seen this with athletes who may be physically in shape but not mentally, like Simone Biles and you may see athletes where they are mentally but not physically in shape Like Wayde van niekerk. The mentally but not physically in shape Like Wayde van niekerk. Like wayde van niekerk. The 400 metres, i remember Like Wayde van niekerk.

The guys nowadays are running quicker than what i ran. It is one of the toughest, most brilliant races out there and if you speak to most athletes, you have things like the marathon and the 10,000 but if you speak to most athletes, they will say i would not do the 400 because thats an absolute killer other event. ~. ,. ,. , event.

Sport and a full round up, from the Bbc Sport Centre. How cani how can i follow a proper champion . The big sports story, away from the olympics, away from the olympics, concerns the rugby League World Cup, which was due to be held in england in the autumn, but has now been postponed until next year. It follows the withdrawal of defending Champions Australia and new zealand, over Player Welfare and safety concerns related to covid. The world cup, featuring mens, womens and wheelchair events, was set to start in newcastle in october. Work will now start on the best way to stage the tournament in the autumn of next year. I think it will take some time for international Rugby League to recover from this. International Rugby League to recoverfrom this. I hope international Rugby League to recover from this. I hope that we can be a beacon of light, certainly we have prioritised clear voice, player choice, we know players want to play. We took our responsibilities very seriously and we are determined to stage the biggest and best ever rugby League World Cup. Its a real shame that cannot be this Year But Leadership is about making tough decisions, being responsible and we have done this in the best interests of not just the tournament but the sport of Rugby League. To the olympics now and Team Gb, have slipped to 5th place today, on the Tokyo Olympics medal table, after a couple of golds for australia, and so far today, just The One bronze for the brits today, but it was an impressive one, on the water and a 4th Olympic Medal overall for Liam Heath. He claimed bronze in a photo finish, after making a hesitant start, in this, the defence of his olympic mens kayak, single 200 metres. Hes now 36, and clocked a time of 35. 202 seconds to just take that 3rd place, hungarian Sandor Totka won gold with italys manfredi rizza, taking silver. Its. It is what you are working towards, just to be at your best for these events and i have learned so much along myjourney. Each game, each competition you learn a lot more about you, you learn a lot more about people, the people you compete against and the people you work with The End, day out. It is then working tirelessly behind the scenes which provides the support for me to be able to achieve my dreams, things like this. A massive thanks for everybody watching at home, not quite the goal, but im happy with my performance, i hope you guys can be happy too. Some good news for Team Gb, as Dina Asher Smith returned to the track for the womens 4 by 100 Metre Relay Heats and the team set a new national record. Alongside asha philip, imani lara lansiquot, and daryll neita, Asher Smith ran the third leg, they finished ahead of the Usa And Jamaica in 41. 55 seconds. Asher smith, who tore her hamstring injuly, pulled out of the olympic 200 metres after failing to make the 100 metre final. Katarina Johnson Thompson has reacted on Social Media, after her Heptathlon Medal hopes were ended by a Calf Injury in the 200 metres yesterday. In a statement, she revealed she was in a wheelchair at the start of the year after rupturing her achilles last december, and that it was, a miracle to make the start line. The reigning World Champion added that it will take a lot of time to process the heartbreaking outcome. In the velodrome, great Britains Jason Kenny out of the Mens Sprint in the quarterfinals. Britains most decorated olympian, had lost his last 16 race, and had to qualify through the repechage, which gave him, a difficult quarterfinal against, Harrie Lavreysen of the netherlands, whos already got a Gold Medal from the team sprint. And the dutch rider won the first two races to progress. But Jack Carlin is through to the semifinals. With an impressive victory, against the experienced Maximilian Levy, of germany. Its the best of three races, but he won the first two of them and hes through. Great britains Katy Marchant crashed out of the Womens Keirin, as she and dutch Rider Laurine Van riessen colided in their quarterfinal. Luckily marchant is ok, she said after the race that she was in the wrong place at the wrong time as the dutch rider cut across her. But she will go again in the sprint tomorrow. And better news for Team Gb with matt walls going in the omnium, a multi Race Event in four different disciplines. Hes leading the competition after three out of four races, having just finished second in the scratch race. Some impressive scenes in the aquatics centre, as 14 year old Quan Hongchan of china, got gold. She scored two perfect dives with 10s across the board, in the process, and this is why. Flawless. Britains Andrea Spendolini Sirieix and lois toulson, Finished 7th and 9th respectively in the 10 Metre Platform final. Englands cricketers, will hope they can put a dreadful first day, behind them, when the second day of the Opening Test against india resumes this morning at trent bridge. They were bowled out forjust 183 on that first first day and at one point they lost 6 wickets for just 22 runs, withjonny bairstow� s dismissal starting the collapse. Ollie robinson and Joss Buttler both failed to get off the mark. Onlyjoe root put up a fight with with 64. India will return to the crease this morning 21 without loss, trailing by 162 runs thats all the sport for now. Uk adults spent a third of their waking hours in 2020 watching tv and online video. Thats one of the findings of ofcoms annual survey of our media habits. The regulator says subscription services such as netflix were the big beneficiaries as repeated lockdowns left millions at home looking for entertainment. I can now speak to our Business Presenter Victoria fritz. Good morning. Its not a particularly attractive way to Characterise Britain this morning but its kind of binge watch britain. Spending almost six hours of your life a day, half of all uk households, spending almost six hours a day watching the Telly Or Streaming services and that includes things like online, things like youtube. Interesting these figures and its interesting to try and work out how much of this was because of the pandemic and the fact that people had not much else to do, lots of people for load and stuck at home, and unable to do things perhaps managing to get through school were quicker. That they might have otherwise done and that kind of thing and how much is an acceleration of a trend that was going to happen anyway, the fact that we are streaming more, we are glued to screens more than ever before. Hopefully to answer that question is the Group Director of Strategy And Research at ofcom who published these findings. Thank you for joining published these findings. Thank you forjoining me today. How much of this was about escapism and the fact that we have been stuck at home with nothing else to do and wanted to watch something on netflix and how much of this is just a complete change in our understanding of media and consumption .

Really interesting figures coming out and one other Business Story i want to remind you of, you might have heard about it. Mike ashley, who founded what was known as sports direct 40 years ago, has decided he is stepping down, the company was renamed last year as fraser group, he will be handing over the reins to his future son in law, thats quite an endorsement i guess. 31 years old, head of innovation, which apparently means he is in charge of transforming the stores and its all about The Future. This company has not given any guidance about whats to happen next year to investors. No Forward Guidance whatsoever from this company and its warning about the impact of future lockdowns and the impact of future lockdowns and the pandemic, particularly in Winter and also its concerned about whats going to happen to Business Rates and what that means for the big house of Fraser Stores across the country.

Celebrities like Lady Gaga and Selena Gomez are opening up about their conditions, and like minded influencers on Social Media are attracting huge followings. But as their profiles have grown, so have accusations of fakery. In a new documentary, Octavia Woodward, meets both accusers and their targets. Lets take a look. Back in february last year, a friend in the office sent me a link. People are accusing Chronic Illness influencers of faking it online, he said. There is a Reddit Group called illness fakers, where nearly 80,000 people act Asjudge And Jury on who is really ill and who is not. They create timelines, Scouring Influencers Social Media profiles for inconsistencies. I remember one of my friends saying that they have some Group Chats and my name had come up, and i remember going on to try and find whatever had been said and seeing the absolute torrent of information that they were sharing and the thousands of people on there. They moved it over to a forum that is completely unregulated and they shared my address and. It was so terrifying. I kept my blind shut, my windows shut. I ended up getting incredibly mentally unwell and eventually hospitalised for it. And Octavia Woodward joins me now. Just listening and seeing that short clip, its astounding but why did you decide to investigate Chronic Illness . I you decide to investigate Chronic Illness . , illness .

I decided when my friend | sent me a link to the Reddit Group where people are focusing on proving that people with Chronic Illnesses where faking i thought they were lying, i thought it was just a new form of bullying for disabled people. But the more i looked into it, there was a lot more complicated, some people are genuinely faking illness is out there and the people who are doing there and the people who are doing the accusing are typically chronically ill themselves.

Thank you very much for that and if you would like to see that and if you would like to see that documentary, it is called sickness and lies and you can see it on the iplayer now. Now its time for a look at the weather with carol kirkwood. Hello again. Some of us have already seen quite a bit of rain this morning. For others, it is yet to arrive, but more of us will see Rain Today than we have done in the last few days and its also going to be windier. The strongest winds will be in areas adjacent to the irish sea. Whats happening is low pressure is coming in with its attendant fronts, so a dry and bright start in the east will be usurped by this area of low pressure coming in, introducing Thicker Cloud and then later on, some rain. So, there are some shows in scotland, Northern England and here is the rain moving steadily from the South West towards the North East. As we go through the day with the Cloud Building ahead. Behind it, a return to some showers, some of which will be heavy and thundery and were looking at some prolonged heavy showers across Northern Ireland this afternoon, which could lead to some issues with localised flooding. Temperatures today, 16 22, Down On The 23s And 24s we saw widely yesterday. Through this evening and overnight, the strongest winds will be across Southern England and North East scotland. We continue with an array of showers, some of which will be heavy and some rain pushing northwards. Overnight close, 12 15, not going to be a particularly cold night in prospect. For the rest of friday, low pressure still very much dominating our weather, so we have got bands of showers rotating around it, some of them merging to give some heavier downpours, especially the northern half of wales, Northern England, central and Southern Scotland and Northern Ireland, where there is the risk of localised flooding once again. Still strong wind, gusty wind across southern and North East scotland, with temperatures 16 22. As we move through friday into the weekend, low pressure drifts further northwards, you can see fronts wrapped around and we have another front coming the south. This one introducing some rain across the Channel Islands and southern counties through the day and for the rest of us, we still have a lot of showers or rain wrapped around at low pressure, courtesy of the Weather Front which could give some heavy downpours as well. In between, some brighter skies. Still quite breezy too. Temperatures, 17 20. As for the outlook, it remains unsettled with rain or indeed showers, but by tuesday it looks like Something Drier is coming our way.
