hour... archaeologists uncover an astounding set of roman sculptures on the route of the hs2 rail link. good morning. a cross—border rail line remains closed this morning after two road bridges were washed away in dumfries and galloway. network rail has confirmed the extreme weather had forced the closure of the line between dumfries and carlisle until further notice. a major incident was declared in hawick last night after hours of torrential rain. police have described the flooding as some of the worst in the region for a number of years. aruna iyengar has this report. scotland was lashed with torrential rain, with multiple flood and danger—to—life warnings across the country. here in dumfries and galloway, the river annan burst its banks. two footbridges were swept away — including this, the cuthbertson memorial bridge. in the whitesands area of dumfries, police warned people to stay away from the area after the river nith burst its banks. emergency services worked together, rescuing four people from flooded homes. in hawick in the scottish borders, the river teviot reached a peak of 2.9 metres before water started to recede. residents had been evacuated from homes, but there's some relief — they've now been told it's safe to go home. schools in the peebles area were closed as the river tweed burst its banks. this, a riverbank view in cumbria — a month's worth of rain fell on wednesday and into thursday. here in cockermouth, flood defences have been a lifeline, but residents are weary and want longer—term solutions. i think the government need to look seriously at climate change and try and work out ways that we can help people, support people and stop this kind of damage from happening in the future. yellow weather warnings are in place for today across cumbria, the scottish borders, wales and devon and cornwall. it means more rain, which could lead to travel disruption and flooded roads. damage to homes and businesses is still possible. these are anxious times for people living low—lying areas. living in low—lying areas. aruna iyengar, bbc news. ina in a while we will be live with our correspondent in cockermouth so we will be coming back to that soon. french ministers are threatening more action unless the uk issues more licences to fish in its waters. a dispute between the two over post—brexit fishing rights is worsening. the french ambassador to the uk's been called to the foreign office after a british fishing trawler was detained in normandy. damian grammaticas has more. in may, french fishing boats gathered offjersey. their anger is that, despite the uk and jersey agreeing after brexit that french boats could continue fishing in coastal waters, dozens have applied and not had permits approved. the issue for many french boats is proving they've habitually fished in uk and jersey waters. smaller boats may not have had monitoring systems to track their movements. their current access will expire this weekend. if more licences are not granted by next week, the french government has said it will impose measures that could limit uk trade. translation: as britain does not respect what was agreed, - respect what was agreed regarding licences for our fishermen, we will strictly limit british boats landing their catches in french ports. we will begin systematic health and customs inspections, and we'll put in place checks on exports heading to the uk. yesterday this uk trawler was detained — it's now in the port of le havre, accused of fishing without a permit in french waters. now uk seafood exporters are worried they may face disruption supplying their biggest market — the eu — in the key period before christmas, and don't want a dispute with french fishermen. we fish the same areas, we need joint management, and big politics is trying to get in the way of that and we're trying to maintain the bridges that we have with them. at the end of the day, they're our colleagues and we fish alongside them — we don't want to see their businesses fail. in london, the government has called the proposed french actions "unjustified". the government has said we are very happy to give licences to the very few remaining people who have not got their licences, but we need to have some evidence to show that you meet the criteria. but with the french ambassador summoned to the foreign office, and the uk government promising an appropriate response, the political dynamics could see this dispute escalate fast. damian grammaticas, bbc news. let's get more from our political correspondent nick eardley. this is really a simple issue at the heart of it, it would seem, on who gets a license and who does not. should this not have been sorted out well before now? that should this not have been sorted out well before now?— well before now? that is certainly the argument _ well before now? that is certainly the argument the _ well before now? that is certainly the argument the french - well before now? that is certainly - the argument the french government is making that there are dozens of boats that are entitled to fish in british waters that have not got their licences yet. that is why paris is so angry about the situation. the uk government says that actually some of the applications it has got our four boats that do not meet the criteria and the vast majority of boats who have applied in uk waters as part of the brexit trade deal have been approved. that is the specifics on the licensing but i think the rhetoric on this is really increasing quite dramatically over the course of this week. last night we had the french europe minister saying the uk only understands the language of force. we have got the french government saying that if this is not resolved by tuesday, it will stop british boats from docking at some french ports and there will be a big increase in the number of checks that happen on things going over the channel, which could have a real big impact on freight traffic over the channel. the uk government says that is completely out of proportion, it is accusing the french government of inflammatory language and we have also heard from the uk government this morning that if the french do take more action, there will be retaliation from london. having listened to environment secretary. two can play at that game is what i would say. but in the first instance what we're doing is raising this with the european commission, since obviously the eu represents france on fisheries matters and is the partner we deal with internationally on these things. obviously it's always open to us to increase the enforcement that that we do on french vessels — to board more of them if that's what they're doing to our vessels. we've said that, for now, we're not going to respond in the way that france has — we're going to raise this with the commission and we're going to raise it through diplomatic channels with the french ambassador. but we'll reserve our right to do more things, obviously, if france continue to press ahead with these threats. my my understanding its ministers have been looking at potential action the uk could take over the next few days. so the first thing that will happen today is the french ambassador will be summoned for a dressing down at the foreign office. that is something that normally happens to hostile states, not allies. and speaking to people in the foreign office this morning, they cannot find any records of the french ambassador being summoned before so this is a pity out of the ordinary event and, you know, it is worth bearing in mind that fishing rows, we have seen them come and go in the past, they have come around mostly years, actually, but there is that added complexity of the brexit deal, the trading arrangements after brexit and the context of other trade rows over northern ireland. both sides wanting to be seen as acting tough on this. the fear that some in the fishing industry have is that desire to look tough could have some real consequences. hick. that desire to look tough could have some real consequences. nick, thank ou. bruno bonnell is a politician in president macron�*s en marche party. hejoins us now. thank you so much for being with us this morning. the uk government says that, actually, the french vessels who are entitled to a fishing licence have got one. sure. it is surprising that france only got 50% of the licences when it they claim, if you consider in europe only 2% of the boats have not got a licence. no, let's be serious. 244 boats with a tending license, thatis 244 boats with a tending license, that is not the treaty we signed when we dealt with brexit are so obviously everybody is going to say it is a chicken and egg situation, but the truth is we have the french fishermen that are losing 25% of their business every day and it is something that we have to act on. the threat of cutting off electricity supplies to a jersey, potentially, the threat of stepping up potentially, the threat of stepping up checks —— tojersey and stepping up up checks —— tojersey and stepping up checks —— tojersey and stepping up checks and attaining visual vessels, is that an appropriate way to deal with this request make in diplomacy you have times to flex your muscles and put your stick in the ground and the second time you have times to set on the table. the date of 2nd — have times to set on the table. the date of 2nd of _ have times to set on the table. tue: date of 2nd of november have times to set on the table. tte: date of 2nd of november was have times to set on the table. tt2 date of 2nd of november was given and i'm sure by then, finally, good faith, the english authorities and french authorities will sit down and find a way. but french authorities will sit down and find a wa . �* , french authorities will sit down and findawa.�* ,., french authorities will sit down and findawa. , french authorities will sit down and findawa. find a way. but is at this at the wa that find a way. but is at this at the way that is _ find a way. but is at this at the way that is opposite _ find a way. but is at this at the way that is opposite allies - find a way. but is at this at the i way that is opposite allies should be behaving? for example, one a french minister saying the language of force is the only thing the british government understands. that has been described as inflammatory language by a british minister. do you accept that? t language by a british minister. do you accept that?— you accept that? i don't know if i acce -t you accept that? i don't know if i accept this _ you accept that? i don't know if i accept this but _ you accept that? i don't know if i accept this but i _ you accept that? i don't know if i accept this but i am _ you accept that? i don't know if i accept this but i am just - you accept that? i don't know if i accept this but i am just saying l you accept that? i don't know if i i accept this but i am just saying for months we have been trying to negotiate around the fairness and attitude and trying to sort things out, but those are boats and licenses were kept on the uk's authority sides and i believe there is a point where, without putting too much weight on those words, showing that we could retaliate in a situation is something that will help definitely some negotiations. but does that not simply escalate the situation? coming, where does this go to next? this t the situation? coming, where does this go to next?— this go to next? as i said, there is a time for — this go to next? as i said, there is a time for flexing _ this go to next? as i said, there is a time for flexing muscles - this go to next? as i said, there is a time for flexing muscles and - a time for flexing muscles and putting your trump cards on the table and there are times for negotiations. the next step is in negotiations. the next step is in negotiations. i am fairly optimistic that next week the parties has... we are allies so i do not think there is any other issue but a negotiation and a fair one.— and a fair one. bruno, thank you bruno burnel_ and a fair one. bruno, thank you bruno burnel from _ and a fair one. bruno, thank you bruno burnelfrom president - and a fair one. bruno, thank you - bruno burnelfrom president macron's bruno burnel from president macron's party. let's get more now on the floods — and one of the areas covered by a warning is cockermouth in cumbria, with a forecast for more rain in the coming days. we can go now to our correspondent meghan who is live there for us. what is the latest on the situation? the river running through cockermouth this morning are still fast flowing, pretty high, but the good news is the water levels are starting to recede. if you look down here you can see this line of leaves on the grass, that is where the water was last night. it has gone down quite quickly this morning, we could not see the bottoms of the bins or benches when we came down at five in this morning and the environment agency telling us this is a slowly improving picture and that water levels, river levels have peaked right across the county and the lakes are beginning to level out. that is good news but there is still heavy rain forecast and nine flood warnings in place across cumbria. people being urged to keep a vigilant, keep an eye on the forecast, keep a vigilant. 40 properties, unfortunately, flooded yesterday and those people will be trying to diet their properties today. hopefully nobody else will be affected. a —— dry out. the environment agency encouraging us to follow the forecast but hopefully a major flooding event has been avoided here. quite significant traffic disruption still, and erodes and bridges affected while one closed and the county council looks at the structural integrity. on the train then, passengers on the west coast main route that runs through cumbria and up the west coast, passengers are being told not to try and travel further than press and are still having an impact but there is a little bit of a relief, a sense of calm in cockermouth and it seems that this worst has passed does not it is a area that is used to flooding and anything that happens people are understandably nervous. they understand the damage it can do but it is a slowly improving picture. we expect by afternoon the rainie should ease what is falling as falling on saturated ground rivers that are quite full but hopefully the environmental commissioner saying that hopefully there will be less further disruption.— there will be less further disrution. . ., and as you might expect cockermouth mountain rescue team have been busy — we'll be talking to them shortly. e—cigarettes could soon be prescribed on the nhs in england to help people stop smoking. the medicines regulator is inviting manufacturers to submit products for approval. it could mean england becomes the first country in the world to prescribe e—cigarettes as a medical product. professor of public health linda bauld says it's a significant policy shift. there are thousands of vaping products available. they're only regulated by consumer regulation, there's no products that are available as medicines with medicinal approval, and the mhra, their processes are really tough, actually, to go through, and we haven't seen e—cigarette manufacturers come forward to do that, so they've reviewed the processes and they're making them a little bit more straightforward and they're now today announcing that they are encouraging manufacturers to come forward. i still have some doubts how many will do that because it's still going to be complicated, but there are definitely advantages to having consumer product e—cigarettes available on the market and also the alternative of a prescription vaping product. and that's what this announcement may make easier. the main advantages of prescription e—cigarettes are... if you ask smokers, around 30% of them have not tried vaping — and the most common reason for that is concerns about safety. in fact, around the same proportion think that vaping is just as dangerous as smoking, which isn't true. so a prescription product would give more reassurance about that — these are rigorous tests it would have to go through. and then the second one is cost, because smoking is more common in more disadvantaged groups and they may be put off by the cost of vaping, so on prescription may be a better option there. professor linda bauld from edinburgh university there. pressure is mounting on the world's richest nations to share vaccines with poorer countries as coronavirus cases once again start to spike around the world, and g20 leaders prepare to meet in rome. influential global figures — including more than 160 former world leaders — are calling on western countries to send millions of surplus covid vaccines to less developed countries before they expire. the former prime minister, gordon brown, has been vocal about the need for global vaccine equity. he's been speaking to the bbc. countries have over—ordered and they're overstocked and they're not getting the vaccines out quickly enough, so a lot of vaccines could be wasted past their expiry date, and we know that nobody is safe anywhere until everybody is vaccinated everywhere. i think that today you will pass this terrible figure — five million deaths already from covid — and what the world health organization is saying, that there will be another five million more deaths unless we act. we've had 245 million cases of covid. there could be 200 million more in the next year alone. and that's why we've got to act, because if the disease spreads in the poorer countries, then you have new mutations of the disease, new variants. they will come back to haunt us. and even the fully vaccinated here, like you and me, we will be vulnerable to this disease in a new form. that's why we've got to vaccinate everybody. the headlines on bbc news... heavy rain in southern scotland and north—west england causes flooding and disrupts one of the main rail links between the countries. the french ambassador in london has been called for talks at the foreign office, as a dispute between the uk and france over post—brexit fishing rights continues. england could become the first country in the world to license e—cigarettes as a medical product to quit smoking, with the medicines regulator inviting manufacturers to submit their products for approval. an estimated 13 million women in the uk are living with the menopause, but the treatment to relieve its symptoms can amount to hundreds or even thousands of pounds. today, mps are due to vote on a bill that — if passed — would make hormone replacement therapy free in england. here's more from our political correspondent helen catt. because i'm post—menopausal, so i have got a pill — progesterone and oestrogen. so that goes on the top. i don't know what it is. it's got the most amazing glue, because it really does stick. adele martin went through the menopause just before she left a career in finance to run this pub in kent. from confidence to mood swings to brain fog, to where sometimes the people around me just weren't really sure what mood i was going to be in. i could be really, really tearful or really, really, really grumpy. and then, bizarrely, things like electric shocks, as well. but they were quite funny. electric shocks? yeah, my daughter didn't want to come near me, because she was scared, because every time i got out of the car, i seemed to create electric shocks. but overall, her experience was anything but funny. i felt like i just completely lost myself. and at the time, ijust didn't know what it was. sorry. it was menopause. and this is why i do what i do, because i just didn't want another woman...to look in the mirror and lose themselves like i did. i talk to women. it's taken me probably the last two years to really share my story. and the more i share my story, the more women share theirs. and it's just not fair. so it has sort of given me the courage to share my story. so if somebody else listens to what happened to me, then hopefully, they will ask for help, because i didn't know. she says hormone replacement therapy, hrt, stopped her hot flushes and helped her feel normal again. nine years later, she's still using it, paying £9.35 for each box. there does seem to be growing agreement in westminster that more needs to be done to help women navigate their way through the menopause — to help them find the right treatments for their symptoms. that could be through greater awareness, through more education for gps. but some want to see more help with the costs. the labour mp carolyn harris is trying to get mps to vote to make hrt free in england as it is in scotland, wales and northern ireland. we're talking about 51% of the population who are suffering this and need... they need the choices to make that decision if they want hrt. it's not for everyone, but it's also about everything else. it's notjust about the hrt. with millions of women in england eligible, the cost of making hrt free would be significant. and it's notjust menopausal women who have to pay for prescriptions. people with long—term health conditions have been campaigning for their medications to become free in england, too. for somebody like parkinson's, that means that you could have eight or nine medications each month. so it's really expensive to live with a long—term condition like that. you can, however, buy a prepayment certificate. so for three months it costs just over £30. for 12 months it costs just over £108. but some people have told us, particularly those with long—term conditions, that actually it's quite a lot of money still to to find. only a small proportion of menopausal women who could take hrt actually do. a flawed study in the early 2000s led to misleading publicity about the possible risks. it's still blamed for putting women off. in a statement, the government said it was deeply committed to ensuring women are able to access high—quality menopause treatment, including hormone replacement therapy. this is my design. adele is herself off to parliament today, adding her voice to the calls for change. helen catt, bbc news, rochester. we're joined now by lauren turansky, who's a user of hormone replacement therapy. thank you so much for being with us this morning to speak to us. just talk us through first of all what the symptoms did you experience going through the menopause? t went going through the menopause? i went into sura ical

or four different prescriptions and women are known to put family members first so if they are low income, they will spend their money elsewhere rather than on themselves so it does prohibit a lot of people on taking the medication that they need. and it is not really medication, you'rejust replacing that they need. and it is not really medication, you're just replacing a hormone that any woman's

isn't about— to be given free? well, i mean, hrt isn't about just _ to be given free? well, i mean, hrt isn't aboutjust alleviating _ isn't about just alleviating symptoms. it shouldn't be called hormone replacement therapy, really, because it prevents other illnesses and disease manifesting anybody, it prevents brain disease, osteoporosis, so in the long term, by treating it early enough, and making it readily available to women, you will stop the onus on the nhs in years to come. you know, you will be preventing so many other diseases and symptoms. women are living longer now and it has a lifetime treatment, basically. nodding, thank you so much for sharing your experience and thoughts on that subject. —— lauren. let's get more now on the floods — and one of the areas covered by a

jane, thank you. pope francis has asked leaders attending the cop26 climate summit in glasgow to take "radical decisions", that offer hope to the world. in a message recorded for the bbc he urges those gathering at cop26 to act now to tackle the looming environmental crisis. let's have a listen. well, with world leaders heading to glasgow ahead of this weekend's climate change summit, our scotland correspondent, lorna gordon, has been taking a look at the final preparations. there's no confusion about where this huge conference is taking place, and an army of volunteers are welcoming cop26 visitors to the city. we're welcoming delegates with a warm glasgow smile. it is a bit gloomy and cloudy but all the volunteers have, like, a sunny 22 degrees inside of them. 25,000 delegates are expected. businesses in the area where the summit will take place are hoping for a bounce. we offer very nice little coffees and everything, so even if they wanted to come for a wee coffee or some pancakes or something, that would be amazing. but they're facing challenges, too. so far it's been a nightmare, just the start of it. like, trying to travel to work — it's absolutely horrendous. and there is already disruption with slip roads, pedestrian walkways and bridges closed around the site. this is one of the main arterial roads heading into the centre of glasgow, and it's been shut to the thousands of drivers who use it every day. accommodation is also proving a problem — the cost of renting flats or rooms has rocketed because of cop. welcome to glasgow! so around 1,000 people, including jack and kim, have opened their homes to delegates, and more are needed. i'd heard that poorer countries were getting priced out of coming — i was absolutely horrified that only the richer countries' voices would be heard in terms of politicians and lobby groups, so i felt it was really important that everybody was included. when glasgow people opened their door to us, we are very delighted to come also, voice our concern. some schools on the conference doorstep will have to close briefly. these pupils may never have expected world leaders to be driving past their classroom windows — and they've got a message they want to pass on. i kind of feel...like, kind of stressed and annoyed about it because it's just disrupting our lives. i'd just rather that so many people didn't come — only the world leaders. they're not going to get here, like, being eco—friendly. - and also i feel like they're just going to talk about things - but not actually do it. ..have an impact on your lives... hope from the children here for action — and notjust words — and that the disruption they could face over the next two weeks will be worth it. lorna gordon, bbc news, glasgow. one of the organisations attending the event is the national trust, the largest private landowner in the uk and looks after beaches and countryside for public access. patrick begg is its head of outdoors and

limits, that we know our 1.5 degrees. we need international leaders to step up, but we also need domestic leadership, that means, putting nature's restoration at the heart of our climate change strategies, and backing that up with policy and resources to do it. for example, committing to restoring peatlands, expanding woodland covering the country to about 17%, we lag far behind that target at the moment, and also providing frameworks which will allow as to make more efficient the majority of buildings that are already being built, vernacular buildings, that play a part in reducing carbon emissions from domestic heating power. this emissions from domestic heating ower. �* , �* , emissions from domestic heating ower. a �*, ., , power. as the uk's largest landowner. _ power. as

the peak district, by blocking up genes and bringing the squelch back to bogs, through to establishing our target of 20 million new trees by 2030. dash—mac blocking up drains. also things like converting to renewable energy in homes, and spectacular mansion properties, and also, adapting gardens to changes that we are already experiencing, whether that be changing planting regimes, moving to low watering regimes as well, so that can cope with drought, also providing more sheet for visitors as we get into drier summers. do you think there is more that could have been done sooner, and not just the national trust, but everyone? this is something we are talking about a lot now, that really, this has been an issue that has been a long time coming, we have had warning signs for a

that. but i much prefer to look ahead, and to see, to help others understand the kind of pressures we are facing, and also the kind of activities that we are undertaking to cope. just recently, we have completed a project in the lake district, very relevant, given the flooding, and high rainfall we are expensing overnight, we are we have been taking a river out of a narrow man—made channel, so that the river behaves naturally, that will allow the ground to act as a sponge, slowed down that water, prevent the kind of flooding effects downstream that affect people, great for nature, also

the consultation will invite the public to give their input over what the terms of the ban should be. this includes how to safeguard therapists and religious freedom, while protecting people from harm. with me now is our reporter eleanor lawrie. first of all, what does conversion therapy cover, if you could just talk us through that? therapy cover, if you could 'ust talk us through that?

the problem is, what constitutes that. that is the difficulty lies. some religious organisations have said, they want to carry on with religious practices, like every day prayer, genuine support for people who need it, who are struggling, or who believe, or who have problems with their sexuality, believe, or who have problems with theirsexuality, i believe, or who have problems with their

conversion therapy. there are l trans rights groups who have said that actually this could risk having a chilling effect on free speech. what is their reasoning for that? t think this consultation includes some, they specify that and that eighteens should not be put on a clinical pathway, that they are informed, that families are properly informed. the sea that people should have an honest and neutral conversation with a therapist, not be pushed down any articular path. that is the concern, that someone could come back to you later in life, when they are an adult, and say, you might have pushed me down this path or another path. but say, you might have pushed me down this path or another path.— this path or another path. but there are some charities, _ this path or another path. but

have uncovered what they've described as an "astounding" set of roman statues. it includes two complete sculptures of what appear to be a man and a woman, plus the head of a child. the discovery was made at an abandoned medieval church in stoke mandeville in buckinghamshire. it is believed that the location was used as a roman mausoleum before the norman church was built. dr rachel wood described the moment her team made the discovery. pretty much a giant grin. everybody was astounded to find them. they are so well preserved and so unusual. we are excavating the ruins of the medieval church. it was built in about 1080. as we have removed the remains of those buildings and got underneath it, and found much to our surprise, another building, that predates it, and that had been demolished into an enclosure ditch, encircling it. and as we were excavating that rubble from the ditch, we were pulling out pieces of carved stone and things at that. turned it over, suddenly we are looking at the face of this lady. they appear to be of local romance. but they would have been quite wealthy, to have had the statues made. you can see on the lady's here do, how fancy a set of breeds that she has got. buy local and drive electric to help save the planet — that's the kind of advice you might not expect from the terminator. but ahead of the un climate change conference which starts this weekend in glasgow, former actor and politician, arnold schwarzenegger, has been telling the bbc�*s tom heap why it's not too late to change the way we live. i think anything can be done. if you see it and believe it, then you can achieve it. it's that simple. the terminator might seem an unlikely environmental champion. his most iconic movie role was dedicated to eliminating humanity. i'll be back. and i will not let you down. his return to the public arena as a politician, serving as republican governor of california for eight years, was marked by tough environmental laws on exhaust fumes, growing wind and solar energy, and ambitious carbon reduction targets. he now runs the schwarzenegger climate initiative. we are the only place that really reduced greenhouse gases by 25% and brought it back to the 1990 level. what we are so happy about is that we are proving simultaneously that it is the best job creator when you go green. we are number one economically in the united states, with a gdp of $3.3 trillion. that, at the same time, makes us the fifth—largest economy in the world, at the same time while we have the strictest environmental laws. so it shows to you you can protect the environment and you can protect the economy at the same time. so all of those countries that come and give speeches — we are not going to go and lose jobs because of going green — they are liars. or they are just stupid and they don't know how to do it. because we figured it out, how to do it, they can figure it out, how to do it. and it's all about having the balls to do it. but he often swaps horsepower for leg power on the streets of santa monica, and wants to change the way we shop. buy local products. i mean, it is absurd, this kind of tonnage of stuff we are shipping back and forth and creating this unbelievable pollution. but wouldn't people say that is just global capitalism and, as a republican, that is something... you can have global capitalism, but you have to be smart about it. let's go and reduce pollution. because you can have the best capitalism, and global capitalism in the world, but if people are dead, they are dead. it's over. arnold still trains at the gym most days and he's happy to share his skills. exhale. no, i didn't say let go. ok, slowly up, slowly up. but the question is how much heavy lifting world leaders will do at the upcoming climate summit in glasgow. i think we have conquered problems in the past. we have terminated problems in the past, i think that we can do it again. we all have to work together — that is the bottom line. and to take politics out and just say, "we've got to save the world." and we all have to work together. arnold schwarzenegger talking to tom heap for 39 ways to save the planet which is available on bbc sounds. now it's time for a look at the weather with darren bett. hello. the flooding situation across some parts of the country has improved but we are seeing more rain around today and into the next few days it remains very unsettled. whilst there is some rain, it's not going to be raining all the time, there will be some drier, sunnier spells in between the rain, but accompanied by some strong winds from time to time, it will also be feeling quite a bit cooler everywhere. we've had rain sitting across northern and western areas recently. that rain band on that weather front is pushing into eastern parts of england. rain is heading north. stays wet right the way through the day, heading across eastern parts of scotland in the south for a while. we've got that rain continue to push its way to northern england. there will still be some showers, particularly north to south west. drier weather for northern ireland, 12 celsius year. that moves away from the north—east of england, lingers in the north—east of scotland for a while overnight. ahead of that we could be down to 4 or 5 degrees in the north—east of scotland. we have got this rain across scotland. making its way into the midlands, across the eastern side of england in the morning, eventually clearing away from the south—east of east anglia in the afternoon. sunshine follows on behind. showers around as well, in the western areas of scotland. many places will be dry in the afternoon away from here. temperatures, 11 and the central belt, to a higher 14 in the south—east of england. feeling a bit chilly, i suspect, during saturday. the wind is not terribly strong but they do strengthen overnight, and into sunday this next area of low pressure streaming in from the atlantic will bring a spell of wet weather, windy weather, push its way quickly across wales and the south west, heading northward and eastwards across england, moving eventually to northern ireland, push into central and southern parts of scotland. still dry for northern areas of scotland. after the rain again we get some sunshine, we get some showers, this time mainly for wales and the south—west. temperatures typically 10—13 c. it's a cooling trend over the weekend. stays on the chilly side. next week the main area of wet and windy weather out of the way, there will be some sunshine around, but there will be some blustery showers and those could be heavy at times. website. that is it for now. jane, thank you. this is bbc news. these are the latest headlines in the uk and around the
