it was a little bit chilly in some locations. for wednesday, westerly winds introducing milder air and double digit temperatures for the majority. but then the end of the week will bring northerly winds and something colder. in the short term, wednesday morning brings high pressure to the south of us, low pressure to the north. and this frontal system between this warm front here and this cold front here, a wedge of warm or at least mild air. within that wedge of mild air, a lot of cloud, that cloud producing some rain at times, particularly across hills in the north and the west. that rain enhanced by a weather front in the north of scotland. pretty cloudy for northern ireland, northern england, north wales, the odd spot of rain. further south and east, a few brighter glimpses on what will be a breezy day, in fact, a windy one across the northern half of the uk. temperatures, though, in double digits forjust about all of us broadly 11—14 celsius. now, as we head through wednesday night, we will see this frontal system starting to journey southwards, outbreaks of rain with that. ahead of it, a lot of cloud, it is going to be very mild. behind that frontal system, we will just start to introduce something a little bit colder. it will turn increasingly windy, too, across the north of scotland. so here's our weather front for thursday. it'll be moving southwards. it's a cold front you'll notice, that means the air behind it is going to be turning colder. so here's ourfrontal system — this is the dividing line ahead of it. a lot of cloud through the day on thursday. behind the weather front, sunny spells and showers. some of those showers turning wintry over high ground in northern scotland. gales developing in the far north here. it really will feel cold by the end of

some spells of sunshine. bye for now. live from washington, this is bbc news. israel's top leaders approve a deal with hamas to release dozens of hostages with a four—day pause infighting. the deal
