Hello and welcome. Boris johnson has today set out his Autumn And Winter plan to deal with covid infections in england the Prime Minister is desperate to avoid any more lockdowns, the country can ill afford it but he Cant Rule one out. And so what he outlined today was plan a and Plan B should the numbers this winter overwhelm the national Health Service. To use the analogy of the deputy chief medical officer, Mrjohnson Thinsk it is much better to attach Guy Ropes to the tent now, than to try and fit them retrospectively once the storm is upon us. So to that end, there will be Booster Vaccinations for the over 50s, one dose of vaccine for the 12 15 year olds, and its highly likely they will mandate vaccines for all health workers. Heres our deputy political Editor Vicki young. Adapting to seasonal change means thinking and planning ahead, especially in a pandemic. Some things ministers cant control, but the government needs to be ready for the unexpected. Borisjohnson swept away most covid restrictions in england injuly, and for now, he remains confident. The result of this Vaccination Campaign is that we have one of the most free societies and one of the most open economies in europe, and thats why were now sticking with our strategy. In essence, were going to keep going. With this, the vaccination programme. It began with Margaret Keenan in coventry last december. Across the uk, the over 50s and vulnerable adults will be offered a third boosterjab. 12 to 15 year olds will be eligible for a vaccination as well. Ministers Hope Thatll be enough to keep theatres like this. If we go from here to here. 0pen as normal. So we reopened for six weeks last year, then closed again, then reopened for one week, then closed again, and now were about to reopen. This production of The Great Gatsby has music, Dancing And Audience participation. Its producer is glad to be back. The thing that i need, and the entire culture section need, isjust the opportunity to do ourjobs and to trade our way out of this. I feel a lot more certain today than i have in the past. Im sure that there will be more uncertainty to come. And that uncertainty has led the government to come up with what it calls Plan B for england. It could include the return of mandatory facemasks in some indoor settings, Working From Home would again be recommended and covid passports required for people to go into certain venues, including nightclubs, to prove theyve had two jabs. Its just not sensible to rule out completely this type of option now, when we must face the fact that it might still make the difference between keeping businesses open at full capacity or not. Could you tell us in what circumstances you would impose those extra restrictions, your Plan B . Labour said the Governments Approach would be judged against. Whether we can push infections down, minimize sickness and save lives, keep schools open, protect care homes, maintain access to all care in the national Health Service and avoid a winter lockdown. The Scottish Parliament has already voted to introduce covid passports no one wants a repeat of last winter. The hope is that vaccines will make the crucial difference this time. So what would trigger Plan B . And how bad does it have to get . The government says it will be guided by the numbers and how well the national Health Service is coping. Currently we are admitting around 750 people a day to hospital, which is much less than 3800 people that were being admitted at the peak in january. But we are back to a level that we were at in early march. Over a rolling seven Day Period there we are around 33,000 new cases a day. And 138 deaths per day. Which tells you that today we seem ready to tolerate much more than we did 18 months ago. But then maybe thats because 18 months on we do have proper testing and a vaccine that works. Im joined now by matthew taylor, the chief executive of the nhs confederation. The Membership Organisation speaks by the whole Health Care System in england, the Membership Organisation speaks by the whole Health Care System in england, wales the Membership Organisation speaks by the whole Health Care System in england, wales and the Membership Organisation speaks by the whole Health Care System in england, wales and northern the Membership Organisation speaks by the whole Health Care System in england, wales and Northern Ireland. Matthew, welcome to the programme. From where you are setting, what would be the trigger for Plan B . From where you are setting, what would be the triggerfor Plan B . At what point would you assess that plan is not sufficient . I think its a difficultjudgment to make because come up first of all, has been set in the past, the level of infection can vary from place to place around the country. So we need to observe how that happens. And secondly, we need i think to be more acutely aware this year of the fact that there are many, many people who are presenting illnesses because they have not gone to the doctor, they have not gone to the doctor, they have not been able to go to hospital for the last 18 months of conditions of that than covid. So what we are tasking with our Health Service with doing right now is dealing with the ongoing challenge of covid, lung covid, pressure is on mental Health Services, for example, and also addressing that backlog. Alignment covid. When we talk about backlog, we can think about it as a long line of people, but in that line are a lot of people who are very sick and could be getting sicker, and also people presenting now with quite advanced disease. So we will have to make a calculation, if things deteriorate, and we all hope they wont too much, and that is why its important that we are continuing to expand the vaccination programme. We have to make a Judgment Notjust about at covid is overwhelming the system, but about the impact on that is having on the Health Service and all other patient needs. U,. ,. ,. , Health Service and all other patient needs. ,. ,. ,. , needs. The calculation, that all governments needs. The calculation, that all governments are needs. The calculation, that all governments are making needs. The calculation, that all governments are making as needs. The calculation, that all governments are making as we needs. The calculation, that all governments are making as we got their Autumn And Winter. It as i said at the outset, we seem more ready to tolerate 1000 hospitalisations and take a moment hundred 20 30 deaths a day. I cant imagine we would have done that 18 months ago. Ijust imagine we would have done that 18 months ago. I just wonder what that backlog that you talk about and, of course, the looming threat of Flu Season because we didnt have the season because we didnt have the season last year whether in fact even 1000 hospitalisations a day is sustainable. Even 1000 hospitalisations a day is sustainable sustainable. Well, the government has provided sustainable. Well, the government has provided funding sustainable. Well, the government has provided funding for sustainable. Well, the government has provided funding for the sustainable. Well, the governmentl has provided funding for the second half of the year for which we end the Health Service are grateful. That means we probably can manage at around the levels that we are now. If that gets worse, or if it combines him as you say, with the flu epidemic, things may change. So i think that for every stage of this covid crisis, it is slightly different, and it could be that if there is another crisis, it isnt quite the same as before, its not just about rising numbers, but it might be around covered with the simultaneous data flu outbreak, and also because of those other demands on the Health Service, so i suspect we wouldnt have to wait until they get to the highest levels that we got to last year, it seems another new variant, which we all hope there wont be, it is unlikely we would hit those levels, but even before we get to the levels We Saw last winter, we will be seeing a massive impact in terms of the services. And i certainly think that the government should be more strongly emphasising that things that we can all do to minimise the risk of getting the best virus are passing it on. I travel around london, getting the best virus are passing it on. Itravel around london, and most people are wearing masks on the underground, but i noticed that more people are not. There is a certain level of complacency, and i think at the government doesnt want to have to revert to Plan B, we as a country dont want to be told we have to work from home. We dont want to see any kind of lockdown, then we do need to do those things, washing her hands, opening the windows, not meeting indoors if we dont need to that will make the difference. Yes. That will make the difference. Yes, we have it in that will make the difference. Yes, we have it in our that will make the difference. Yes, we have it in our power, that will make the difference. Yes, we have it in our power, we that will make the difference. Yes, we have it in our power, we have the tests, we have the vaccines. Matthew taylor, for the moment, thank you very much for that. In the united states, the fda will decide friday whether to approve a similar booster programme, with the expectation it will get under way as early as next week. But that has given rise to criticism in the united states and Indeed here in the uk that The West is prioritising vaccines for boosters, while ignoring a chronic shortage of vaccine in the developing world. Heres a graph that shows the rate of vaccination by continent, the tiny Red Sliver at the very top of the screen is africa, which has received just 2 of all vaccines administered globally, for a population of 1. 3 billion people. Below it in Light Blue is asia, with some Four Billion people, they have received 66 percent of the vaccines administered worldwide. There is a huge disparity between what has been pledged to the developing world that pale Blue Line and what is actually delivered in dark blue. In fact the us has only delivered 77 Million doses out of 290 Million pledged. The uk a paltry five million, of 80 Million thats been promised. Im joined now by Peter Maybarduk Director of the access to Medicines Programme at the us based Advocacy Group public citizen. Joe Biden Hasjust put together the Un Assembly which he will present next week. He seems to be committing to vaccinating 70 of the world by this time of year from now. At the current level of vaccines that are being distributed, is not realistic . We certainly hope so, but its still far too little and far too late. Leaders have not maximised the Worlds Vaccine Production capacity, and as a result, we are in that there of a Vaccine Apartheid for 24. 5 million deaths and growing globally as you demonstrated, and if we are going to be applying third doses to our populations and in many cases healthy people, certainly we have both an Obligation And Interest in ending the pandemic to get first doses to people Around The World. But so far, leaders are not doing everything they can to that end. Biden� s Summit Plan calls for a modest acceleration of some of the targets that have already been established, and that is helpful. And we salute that. But it fails to generate the investments or the Technology Transfer that are possible that could retrofit manufacturing facilities Around The World and deliver billions more doses of the most effective vaccines. We see a stepwise response rather than a transformative rather than a Tra Nsformative response rather than a transformative response which is needed. Be intellectual transfer that you talk about, that is the key events, because i do wonder whether this can because i do wonder whether this can be done by charitable donations. The wto is meeting today to discuss this proposal to waive patents for intellectual property. There is still a group of w 200 members and includes the uk, eu, norway, Switzerland Two are stalling on this. Is that how it has to wear a . Do we have to transmit the knowledge to regional hub so they can produce their own. I to regional hub so they can produce their own. ~. ,. , their own. I think that is when at their own. I think that is when at the best possible their own. I think that is when at the best possible solutions their own. I think that is when at the best possible solutions to i the best possible solutions to retrofit facilities. We think there are hundreds of facilities Around The World that with the proper Training And Sharing of Vaccine Recipes that some investment could contribute very significantly to douse production. It doesnt happen instantly. It is a process that takes some months. In our own assessment is that for example, an investment of 25 Million potentially less globally. He could produce 8 Billion doses of an and are a vaccine, specifically using 14 facilities, 55 production lines. He set up the facilities in the first six months, the next six months you are producing vaccines. You get to scale relatively quickly, and thats in pandemic terms. Governments like the uk in the united states had the authority under existing law to make those Technology Transfers and certainly to call on their Pharmaceutical Companies and say we insist that you share your technology. Its a global crisis. Insist that you share knowledge with producers Around The World. He not even asking that they do it for free. It can be compensated for that. We can afford to pay compensation, but we cannot afford secrecy blocking our ability to scale up vaccine access. It is a Moral Imperative scale up vaccine access. It is a Moral Imperative as scale up vaccine access. It is a Moral Imperative as well scale up vaccine access. It is a Moral Imperative as well as i scale up vaccine access. It is a Moral Imperative as well as a l Moral Imperative as well as a political imperative because, as i say, we do not live in a Vacuum Commando Variance could come back to haunt us. Just one last thing though, we have seemed in a way to be just ruminating outjust in terms of vaccines in the developing world, in terms of travel. Unless you are Vaccinated, you cannot travel, so we are setting up a second or third tier almost globally to prevent developing rents and the people in developing rents and the people in developing routes to travel where they need to go. To developing routes to travel where they need to 90 developing routes to travel where they need to go. To defining, it will burn and they need to go. To defining, it will burn and memories they need to go. To defining, it will burn and memories for will burn and memories for generations, to be in equity that has characterised the entire global pandemic response. At some point in the future, we will have doses sufficient to go around, but even then, it is going to be second class vaccines essentially for second class people, as terrible as that characterisation may be because the bulk of production is going to come from. The most effective vaccines are going to stay in wealthy countries and we will continue to see people dying at higher rates in developing countries unless we step up and decide that our stepwise approach, trying to maintain a balance of respectability by donating a few days says while we take more out of global Supply Theory restores is not nearly enough, Indeed, that wealthy countries have an obligation to end the pandemic as quickly as possible, and it is in our interest to stop the variance and vaccinate the world. He had not seen a kind of ambition from our leaders. We are certainly hoping a Stand Up for general assembly and the global summit, but there is a long way to go. We need to insist on much more action. 3 go. We need to insist on much more action. � , ~. , action. A big week coming up. Peter, thank ou action. A big week coming up. Peter, thank you very action.

Should he stay or should he go . California is voting today in a Recall Election that could remove their democratic governor from office. The vote was triggered by republicans unhappy at Gavin Newsoms handling of the pandemic, among other things. A few weeks ago it looked like it might be a tight affair but the early returns suggest californias huge democratic base is rallying for the incumbent. People want regular people as politicians not these slick overly produced people like Gavin Newsom. He is a disaster and ruining the state. Im just disappointed with the way the states being run. The list of reasons his Opponent Site for an electing governor Gavin Newsom is long. California is facing extreme challenges. More than 150,000 people are homeless. There is an economically devastating drought, record breaking wildfires are destroying homes and businesses. Despite surge upon surge of the coronavirus, many didnt like his hasty closure of california or his mask mandates. But it was his flagrant flouting of his own rules, dining indoors, maskless in this Super Luxe Restaurant that really rallied republicans. Thats Wherejohn Cox launched his campaign to replace him with a bear. 0ther opponents include angeline billboard queen. Look, im on the Ballot Vote for me. 0oh. And Reality Tv Star and former 0lympian, caitlinjenner. When you read some of the candidate statements for the 46 running to replace him, here is a couple of my personal favourites, when read simply, can you dig it . Another, love you. You might forgive gavin nissan, for not taking this 100 seriously. But then due to a bit of overconfidence and the obscure Recall Election rules, it looked like it was going to turn into a bit of a nailbiter. Then conservative talk show host, Larry Elder, emerged as the frontrunning republican. Hes outlined opinions here to liberal californians wasnt given a warm welcome here in venice, and could have provided democrats who outnumber republicans here by two to one with a reason to vote. But Gavin Newsom is not out of the redwoods yet, as demonstrated by Action Hero Arnold schwarzenegger in 2003. We are here, ladies and gentlemen, to clean house. When he unseated that then democratic Governor Greg davis in californian politics, even the inconceivable, it is conceivable. You got a big choice to make by september 14. And so enter the big guns. Democratic President S past. And present coming out to campaign. You have got to vote no on the recall. Keep gavin as governor. The rest of america is counting on you, and so am i. If they werent taking this seriously, they are now. Lets go to Los Angeles and catch up with Soapy Bear for us. Ijust want to talk about the statement that was put out by donald trumps saved america pack, he said does anyone really believe that Recall Election is in drag . Millions and millions of male and ballads will make this another giant election scan, no different. A familiar theme here on the right, sophie, i mean, isort of wonder whether its the right strategy. If you are telling republicans that it is already ragged, why would they come out and vote . ,. ,. , ragged, why would they come out and vote . , � , vote . Yeah, exactly, its interesting, vote . Yeah, exactly, its interesting, isnt vote . Yeah, exactly, its interesting, isnt it . Vote . Yeah, exactly, its interesting, isnt it . I. Vote . Yeah, exactly, its l interesting, isnt it . I have vote . Yeah, exactly, its interesting, isnt it . I have been to several Larry Elder rallies over the past few days, and that is what you hear time and time again, this repeat really of the unfounded claims that we heard after the 2020 election. So as Gavin Newsom has pulled apart in the polls, things were looking quite good for him in the last few days. We started to hear them trying to pray explain a defeat, if you like, by saying, the on the way the democrats can win is if there are shenanigans and election fraud. Now, we should iterate reiterate there has been absolutely no evidence of that to date, even if you look at the sheer numbers here in california, there are democrats, registered Democrats Outnumbering registered republicans by two to one, so that election really is about turnout. The only way the republicans can win this recall is that they have a huge republican turn out at the Polls Today and a very low democratic turnout. Now, voting has been going on for several weeks. Everyone of the 22 Million eligible voters here in california where he sent a mail in california where he sent a mail in post in Person Voting has been taking place as well. Today is the last day of voting, so republicans will be hoping that a huge number of people turn out. At the moment, the polls are still looking at the avenue some, but as we know from a pulse can be an accurate, especially in a weird election like this on. There arent many President S, of course, there have only been four Recall Elections in us history and on The One here before in california. At a christmas in 2003 when they did win. Of course are not and it was a megastar. Larry elder, the main republican opposition at the main republican opposition at the moment doesnt have his stuff staff actor.

Stay with us on Bbc News, still to come the bbc finds the number of days when the temperature Around The World hit 50 Degrees Celsius has tripled in the past four decades. Well explain next. The speakers of the House Of Commons and lords have ruled that Chinas Ambassador in london cannot step foot in parliament while sanctions remain against a number of mps and peers. The ambassador was due to attend a reception at the House Of Commons tomorrow. 0ur diplomatic correspondent, James Landale has more. China imposed sanctions, travel bans, asset freezes on five mps and two peers early this year in march because of criticisms theyve made about chinas human rights record. So these mps went to the speaker and the Lord Speaker and said, look, we dont think this guy should be coming to parliament. You know, they have imposed sanctions on the public, and the speaker ruled that that would be appropriate. It would be inappropriate, anyway. So what happened is that the story was first broken by the daily telegraph and then statements are made. So whats happened now is the reception has been postponed to another date, so it will not now happen. The likelihood is that a reception and an event will take place, but now away from parliament in the future. Welcome back new Bbc Research suggests there has been a significant increase globally in the number of days on which temperatures are hitting 50 degrees thats 122 degrees fahrenheit. In other words we are seeing much more � extreme heat�. Since the 1980s, the number of 50 degree days, has tripled. Back then, there were eight days a year on average. In the last decade it has risen to 26 days a year. Most of that extreme heat is in the Middle East and in the gulf regions. But these super hot days are now being recorded, in more areas of the world than before. North africa has seen them, with increasing frequency. And, this year We Saw it in canada they hit 49 degrees and italy 48 degrees. And we are going to show what it is like living with those temperatures in our new Bbc Series Life at 50 celsius. There are many big cities now struggling with rising temperatures, which can lead to respiratory problems, Exhaustion And Heat stroke. In pakistans largest city, there is One Man is trying to find a solution, as farhatjaved reports. Karachi home to more than 16 Million people, one of the biggest and hottest cities in the world, and its residents are suffering. This mother of five is struggling to cope with the searing heat. There is no way she can afford air conditioning. In 2015, they endured a 45 Degrees Celsius heat wave. 1,200 people died from Dehydration And Heat stroke, and this year the temperature is nearly that high again. Here in the heart of karachi, it is almost unbearable to be standing out in the street. It is only 11 oclock and The Sun is beating down and the pollution makes it even worse. Some here wonder how long they can go on like this. Businessman shahzad qureshi thinks he has a solution to cool the whole City Building Urban Forests. This is the first Urban Forest that shahzad planted. Just three years ago, it was filled with piles of rubbish but look at it now. There are more than 1000 trees and in here it can be up to 6 degrees cooler than in the rest of the city. But to build more Urban Forests, Shahzad Needs Financial Support from the authorities. In meeting after meeting with local officials, he gets turned down until, finally, some good news. Fantastic, fantastic. Lets do it, man. He is beginning work on his new forest. One Mans Effort in the collective struggle to cool our planet. Farhatjaved, Bbc News, karachi. Now you have know that cows are one of the contributing factors to Climate Change. They emit things from both ends which are problematic for the environment. But where there are problems, there are also solutions. Researchers in New Zealand have managed to train cows to use a toilet in an Experiment Scientists say could pave the way for more environmentally friendly farms. Through this Mooloo Approach i am serious no bull here calves are taught to use a Toilet Area in the barn, meaning youre in can be collected and treated. Urine can be collected and treated. Waste from cattle farms often contaminates soil and waterways and contributes to Greenhouse Gas emissions. So Toilet Trained Cattle are, in theory, better for the environment. Hello there. Well, it was certainly a Wash Out across parts of england today. We saw over a Months Worth of rainfall in a few spots in East Anglia in the last 12 hours. Its all courtesy of this area of low pressure which affected the majority of england through the day, slowly clearing out into the north sea, taking the Heavy Rain with it, a Legacy Ofjust a few showers and some cloud across Eastern England. And there will be just one or two showers, i think, Peppering Northern and western parts of scotland, but elsewhere should be dry. But because of all the rain, certainly for england and wales, its going to be quite muggy, misty and damp. Further north, well see temperatures dropping to single figures under clear skies. 0therwise quite mild in the south. Now into wednesday, and Indeed into thursday, this ridge of High Pressure will build, and thatll settle things down quite nicely and we should see quite a bit of sunshine around. So the middle part of the week is actually looking like being the best part of the week with regards to dry and sunny weather around. Now, it could start quite grey and murky for many areas for wednesday, one or two showers across the Far East of england. Could see the odd Weather Front there. Maybe this Weather Front bringing some showers to northern and Western Scotland and into Northern Ireland, but elsewhere it will be dry with increasing amounts of sunshine into the afternoon. Temperatures responding 21, maybe 22 degrees. Otherwise the high teens for most. Thursday, ithink, looking like being the driest and sunniest day of the week for most of us. Could start off with some mist and dense fog patches around, which tend to clear, allowing for some sunny spells to develop. Bit of cloud into the afternoon. Signs of It Turning a bit breezier and cloudier across the far northwest ahead of this new Weather Front, but it could turn quite warm in the south and the east. We could see highs around 23 degrees. But then its all change as we head on into friday. A new Look Weather System pushing in from The West will introduce stronger winds, cloud, outbreaks of rain, mainly to Western Areas. I think its Western Scotland, Northern Ireland, into western england and wales which will see the rain. Eastern parts of scotland, and certainly Eastern England, will stay dry all day with some sunny spells, but its going to be a blustery day for all, particularly in the northwest, as that Weather Front moves in. Temperatures here, mid to high teens. Again, with some sunshine in the southeast, we could see 20 22 celsius. Bit of uncertainty with the details into the weekend, but it does look like lower pressure wants to be nearby, some Weather Fronts around too, so its going to be quite a mixed picture, i think, both saturday and sunday quite a bit of cloud around, bit of sunshine, too, but there will always be a threat of rain. Stay tuned to the forecast. This is Bbc News with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and Around The World. The british government puts Booster Jabs at the heart of its plan for tackling covid 19 this winter in england. There are claims an Aid Worker was killed in the us Drone Strike as kabul fell, killed in the us Drone Strike as kabulfell, the us secretary killed in the us Drone Strike as kabul fell, the us Secretary Of State says he still thinks it was a righteous strike. A year of extreme heat and growing anxiety among young people about Climate Change according to a new global report. And we are live in New York as the cities theatres finally fully reopen. In the final days of the withdrawal from afghanistan, a us drone blew up a vehicle in kabul they suspected was being prepd for a terrorist act. The strike killed the driver and a number of By Standers who were close by. Almost the final act of a bitter 20 year war. For eight hours the us millitary had tracked this individual as he made a series of stops around kabul before parking outside a compound near the airport. Remember, that two days earlier 13 us service members had been killed at the airport and there was intelligence that another Terrorist Attack was coming. But, a recent investigation by the New York times, in which the team interviewed more than a dozen of the drivers Co Workers and family members, raises plenty of doubt about the details the pentagon has given us.

A global survey of young people suggest they are increasigly anxious about Climate Change and feel powerless to do anything about it. Nearly 60 of the 10,000 young people questioned across ten countries said they very worried or extremely worried. More than half said they thought humanity was doomed. Our environment analyst, Roger Harrabin reports on the findings. As fires scorch the earth, the reality of Climate Change is finally hitting home. Three inches of rain in an hour in New York, siberia with massive forest fires, temperature records annihilated. No wonder the young are worried. When you think about your Children and your grandChildren and their grandChildren growing up, you dont want them to be left in a world where theres no animals that they can look at or there is no beautiful things in the world that they can see. It is quite worrying, and it makes me think about our future and it is definitely not a place i want my kids to live in. Thats the most scary bit, really. Whats going to happen in future generations down the line . I not so much, selfish as it sounds, not so much my life but how it is going to impact on the line. Over half of people in the survey were very or extremely worried. Three quarters found the future frightening. Almost half were hesitant about having their own Children. Actually the anxiety is notjust about environmental problems, it is also about the fact that adults, primarily governments and big business, are failing to act. So thats what we asked them about. And Children started telling us that they were feeling betrayed and abandoned and they felt that the governments were lying about the effectiveness of the action they were taking to address the climate emergency. Meanwhile, polluting projects worldwide, like the uks High Speed 2 rail line, are rolling on. Young voters think the climates more important than the economy. Politicians clearly disagree. Roger harrabin, Bbc News. To try to tackle this sense of anxiety over Climate Change and get young people involved in doing something about it a group of environmentalists are using the power of tiktok they call themselves ecotok have a watch time for another round of good climate news.

Fantastic week. Parts of england and wales on tuesday were seeing temperatures around 30 celsius and this tuesday we had more of a Months Worth of rain in the new market and over 60 mm fell in just over six hours. In many other parts of Eastern England had 30, 40 mm of rain brought forward by the city of low pressure. Lots of Surface Water but it is moving out of the way in for wednesday and thursday, the middle part of the week, ridge of High Pressure because thejet middle part of the week, ridge of High Pressure because the Jet Stream is buckling to The West of us and thatis is buckling to The West of us and that is disrupting the flow of these areas of low pressure, at least temporarily we also notice and we switched to a southerly Wind Direction and that should warm up a little bit as well. During the course of thursday, wednesday and friday. I try couple of days at for many but at this time of year, the autumn to spring the risk of fog through the morning and that fog could linger into the Rush Hourfor a time on Wednesday Morning and that is a for the day on wednesday and as it does clear way, the mist and low cloud, which have Drier Weatherfor instance, Dniester England and other claudius skies in Northern Ireland and Boston Scotland on this with the frontier. Not so warm here and outbreaks of rain which then move their way eastwards through Wednesday Night and into thursday. Cooler down to single figures and in some areas and what we will find is a little bit more Mist And Fog performing into thursday. So, that is our Weather System and a High Pressure Weather System with us through wednesday and thursday, keeping our Weather Fronts at bay, should be largely drowned thursday and probably the warmest in the with those winds coming up from the south, we do have the next with the system Waiting In The Wings in the early morning with Mist And Fog throughout the rush are lifting an 18 to 22 celsius and later on in the day, that is in the next with the system is starting to move in from the atlantic and the Jet Stream starting to push its way eastwards but it will stall over certain areas and Western Areas and potentially on friday, certainty as to how Far East it will slip, but eastern areas of the smirk in the morning was to mostly dry, quite warm still and Western Areas will have an outbreak of rain and further pulses running around that Weather Front is again the saturday, that is the uncertainty if we get this area of the pressure developing on it, it will prolong the rain. As you move into saturday, ridge of high Pressure Strain the building from the northwest but as you look at the Weather Front around with a lot of cloud and potentially some Showers Outbreaks of rain. Either side of that still feeling pleasant enough for this time of year, 17 to 21 celsius. Still the pressure building, it is around us spend a sunday, a . 0n the details for sunday but you could see the woman next Weather Front starting to move into The West later in the day so some warmer weather. The west later in the day so some warmerweather. Don� t The West later in the day so some warmer weather. Don� t there could be some sunshine as well. Saturday and sunday will be more unsettled and some other front closer to The West but after that, looks like i pressure will build in from the south and the scandinavian i will start to build and as well so to keep those Weather Fronts a day, and any that do move and later on in the week will take the time to work their way eastwards. It is the time to work their way eastwards. It is looking thing is that we could see a speu looking thing is that we could see a spell of more settled weather into next week
