than that and really only the odd spot pushing south with the weather front overnight but what this will do is start to break up and push away the big sheet of cloud that has been keeping things so grey and cold over the last few days. having said that, where we see breaks in the cloud overnight, that could allow a touch of frost to form, so a chilly starting tomorrow but for england and wales i can promise more in the way of sunshine, not necessarily clear blue skies but we will call it patchy cloud and sunny spells and something a little lighter. northern ireland and scotland turning cloudy and wet and windy too with gusts in excess of 50 mph for exposed spots but with more of a breeze across the uk and more sunshine and the air turning over wee lewd —— lose the stagnant cold and see highs between eight and 11 degrees and it will be mild but has the low pressure passes through the uk we will see severe gales for the northern isles as we ease through thursday and cloud and some patchy rain initially in the south but thursday should bring plenty of sunshine and a few showers and it stays quite breezy with temperatures between seven and ii temperatures between seven and 11 degrees and we will see more rain pushing in from the west on friday, and settled for the weekend, milder on saturday, may be not so mild on sunday. that's all from us. goodbye. bbc news. let's get more on the metropolitan police investigating gatherings across government to see a breach of covered restrictions took place. the commissioner of britain's because force has confirmed officers melting into rule breaking as the result of rule breaking as the result of rule breaking an information who are providing a report on what happened by civil service was of that report will now be published in full —— until the police had finished investigating. borisjohnson says he welcomes the investigation and believes it will help to draw a line under matters. as we reported, more shots and has look in the decision by the mets to open an investigation into whether coronavirus restrictions were breached and alleged parties in downing street and meanwhile the civil servant sue gray is preparing to hand over her report to number ten counselling that could happen imminently. labour leader keira starmer has given his reaction to the latest developments. let's get the scale of it. the metropolitan police investigating downing street because of the behaviour of the prime minister. the rotten culture at the heart of the conservative party. we will get the sue gray report but we already know that she has found evidence of potential criminal offences. the recording of the metropolitan police have said this falls into the category of serious and flagrant. this is as bad as it gets for the prime minister, for the conservative party and for the country. find prime minister, for the conservative party and for the country.— party and for the country. and what do ou party and

passed it to the metropolitan police we know that much already. we already know the metropolitan police have decided that it's serious enough and flagrant enough for them to investigate. it's the worst possible outcome for the prime minister. he said there should be no cover up as of the trust boris johnson said there should be no cover up as of the trust borisjohnson and number ten to publish the report in full because it will go to them first equipment i think trusting more shots and is at an all—time low but we need to see the report in full. �* . ~' , but we need to see the report in

country has made his mind up. they know he went to parties and they know they were parties in downing street and they know the prime minister has not been straight about it. so i think the public have made their mind up about this quite some time ago. if the report is published potentially there is an investigation which could result in fixed penalty notices and there could be appeals against those

only have one entrance available for people to come in? and as you said at times it was shot and obviously at times it was shot and obviously at times it was open both of the problem began when the crowds that had built up outside the fence were opened and the sheer weight of numbers pushed the sheer weight of numbers pushed the people who work at the front over and they very sadly as we know

stadium here in the cameroonian capital and that's where it will be played. maw; that's where it will be played. many thanks indeed. _ there's obviously a cloud over the tournament, but it is
