It was a message of force, delivered quietly at first. Israeli soldiers seeking their Targets Street by palestinian street. At dawn, hundreds of troops backed by Armoured Bulldozers arrived in the Refugee Camps of tulkarem, nablus, tubas, jenin, home to armed palestinian groups and unarmed civilians. At least nine palestinians have been killed. Hamas says six of them were its fighters. Masoud najjar said he was injured when he opened the door to his house after some young men nearby asked for water. Translation we felt like something came down on us from the sky and there was an explosion. I was unaware of what was going on. When i put my hand on my chest, it was all shrapnel and blood. Injenin, Army Vehicles surrounded the citys two main hospitals. Ambulances stopped and checked by militaryjeeps. Israels Foreign Minister said iran was financing and arming groups in the West Bank, describing it as a war for everything that israel must win. The idf and our Security Forces are operating in tulkarem, jenin and other places from which murderous attacks have been launched. We will fight to eliminate terrorism wherever it emerges. Israels army has been targeting the same areas in the same cities, week after week for the past ten months, determined to dismantle the armed palestinian groups based here. Now its launched a wider, more coordinated operation across the West Bank on a scale not seen for 20 years. Arriving injenin today, the West Bank head of the red crescent.

Rina shah former republican Congressional Adviser and political Strategist And Andrew fisher former director of policy for the Labour Party. Welcome to you both, great to have you on the programme. Lets get your reaction, rina, whats your analysis of developments there and what it can mean for the region . This instability can mean for the region . This instability that can mean for the region . This instability that were can mean for the region . Ti 3 instability that were saying right now will further continue because this is a shock, it does feel like there is been a shift, a real change, and as americans we are waiting to hearfrom Biden And Blinken about what stage we have entered, as we now know there is Great American frustration with the american backing of netanyahu. But what we know right now is more lives are on the line and what does that mean for getting more of the hostages back to israel . And stopping the killing of innocent palestinians. I think at this point, many american lawmakers, particularly on Capitol Hill when youre looking at the republican side, you see a sincere backing for israel and that not going to a phase where they are letting israel down, thats always the talk on the right. But particularly on the left, after we come off of a really strong democratic National Convention in which there was a serious tip of the hat to those americans who are frustrated by what it seems like the biden blinken duos actions in gaza, we are not sure what level of change there will be from our administration. So what we are saying right now injanine, it is leading me and many other americans pretty dumbfounded how lawmakers can and will respond as we move into the fall. � � respond as we move into the fall. � ~. , � , respond as we move into the fall. � ~. , � , fall. And andrew, whats your view on developments fall. And andrew, whats your| view on Developments Today .

No connection, very small Amounts Presence connection, very small Amounts Presence there. This is about a Land Presence there. This is about a Land Grah Presence there. This is about a land grab. This is about the ethnic land grab. This is about the Ethnic Cleansing of the West BankEthnic Cleansing of the West Bank. And you heard from the israeti bank. And you heard from the israeli spokespersons are at the top israeli spokespersons are at the top of the Programme Committee he described those Areas Committee he described those areas as committee he described those Areas Asjudea and samaria, not the west Areas Asjudea and samaria, not the West Bank and gaza, this is about the West Bank and gaza, this is about building a greater israet. About building a greater israel, Wiping Palestine Off The Map which has been unfortunately the long held unfortunately the long held project unfortunately the long held project of the party in Power And Project of the party in power and its project of the party in power and its fascist supporters. I dont and its fascist supporters. I dont use and its fascist supporters. I dont use that term lightly. There dont use that term lightly. There are people in the tanakh yous there are people in the tanakh yous government who describes themselves as precious. In netanyahus government. These are Terrorist Acts and is not just are Terrorist Acts and is not just me are Terrorist Acts and is not just me saying it. The head of the israeti just me saying it. The head of the israeli Security Agency wrote the israeli Security Agency wrote to netanyahu, and i quote, wrote to netanyahu, and i quote, jewish terrorism in the west quote, jewish terrorism in the West Bank is out of control similar West Bank is out of control similar groups are a stain on judaism similar groups are a stain on judaism. That is the head of the israeli Security Agency saying the israeli Security Agency saying this and they are being supported to the hilt by netanyahus candidate. There are different netanyahus candidate. There are different views netanyahus candidate. There are different views and netanyahus candidate. There are different views and the i are different views and the israeli government of course, its been reported today that hamas itself had said that some six of its fighters have been killed in this operation today. Rina, when you talk about us influence, and imposed sanctions. What do you make a bet, is it significant . Hat bet, is it significant . Not significant bet, is it significant . Not significant enough bet, is it significant . Ijrrt significant enough because here on our shores, all the talk is about gaza and less about the West Bank and today could be that turning point. But again, we are not hearing from our lawmakers enough talk that says we have the back of innocent palestinians. Wejust we have the back of innocent palestinians. We just hear a lot of pro israel sentiment across the board and that is because we have a very strong lobby in a pack and that is the american israel political action committee. Im not the first person to say on this network that the influence of Big Money and big donors, particularly those with jewish backgrounds is severe for american politics. Everybody feels some kind of way, but we do note here, again, in the united states, there isjust not enough anti Netanyahu Talk in general and ifeared not enough anti Netanyahu Talk in general and i feared that until netanyahu is no longer the position of power, we will not see any change to the american position on how we deal with what could be considered terrorism on many levels. An innocent palestinians continuing to wrongly die, All In The Name of trying to eradicate hamas. Im trying to eradicate hamas. Im sure there trying to eradicate hamas. Im sure there are trying to eradicate hamas. Im sure there are many who would disagree with you about the Extent Ofjewish influence and where it comes from, andrew, we have a new Labour Government and the issue of the war in gaza caused some problems during campaigning, didnt it . What do you want to see Sir Keir Starmer do in terms of supporting the palestinian people and exerting influence on the israeli government . Look, in opposition, Labour Mack was demanding that the conservative government publish the conservative government publish the legal advice. Its up publish the legal advice. Its up to publish the legal advice. Its up to 12 publish the legal advice. Its up to 12 days of not publishing that advice they criticised david that advice they criticised David Cameron for not publishing it. Labour have been in Power Publishing it. Labour have been in power for over 50 days, they have in power for over 50 days, they have hot in power for over 50 days, they have not stopped the arms sales. Have not stopped the arms sales, they think the international criminal Court Or Breest international criminal Court Or Breast warrants for War Crimes is not breast warrants for War Crimes is not a breast warrants for War Crimes is not a basis to suspend arms going is not a basis to suspend arms going into is not a basis to suspend arms going into that. The international Court Ofjustice investigating genocide is not because enough. An illegal occupation of the West Bank which occupation of the West Bank which is occupation of the West Bank which is 57 years long it is not which is 57 years long it is not reason enough to stop. I have not reason enough to stop. I have to not reason enough to stop. I have to say, i dont think pe0pte have to say, i dont think people have got faith in this labour people have got faith in this Labour Government to do the right Labour Government to do the right thing on israel and thats right thing on israel and thats why you saw a number of independent selected in the election at the expense of Labour Election at the expense of labour and i expect that sentiment will continue to grow untit sentiment will continue to grow until labour acts. We sentiment will continue to grow until labour acts. Until labour acts. We dont have anyone until labour acts. We dont have anyone from until labour acts. We dont have anyone from the until labour acts. We dont i have anyone from the Labour Party here to respond. Thank you for now. Around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. Lets turn to The Us two big developments for Donald Trump in the past day. The fbi has released more details on the Assassination Attempt on the republican president ial nominee. Fbi officials said the gunman, thomas crooks, mounted a Sustained And Detailed Effort to attack a major gathering before selecting the Trump Rally in pennsylvania. Crooks searched more than 60 times for information about the republican president ial candidate and his then rival, president joe biden, before registering for the Trump Rally in earlyjuly. Separately, on tuesday, The UsDepartment Ofjustice issued revised charges against the former president , relating to his alleged attempts to interfere in the 2020 election, after his loss tojoe biden. Government lawyers were forced to amend their case because of a landmark supreme Court Ruling that former President S have broad immunity from criminal prosecution. The new indictment re works the language of the accusations. In reply on his truth social platform, Donald Trump accused the Department Ofjustice of trying to resurrect a dead Witch Hunt. Lets speak to panel. Rina and andrew, rina, whats your view on the latest information we have on thomas kirks . Doesnt actually review a motive das far doesntwe may never get one, because again the shooter is dead and what is happening right now is the United States Secret Service has come under fire. Has come under fire. What happened has come under fire. What happened also has come under fire. What happened also is has come under fire. What happened also is that has come under fire. What l happened also is that truly, the americans that are on the camp of this being a deep state activity, those, you know, those ardent support supporters of drum for a long time, saying there are people in government that want to take trump out. What weve learned now is continue to give ammo to their arguments. The same time there are people who have bonded to Conspiracy Theory that this was a Stage Stunt by trump. Whichever way youre slicing this pie, there was a Clear A Failure by the United States Secret Service. The director has stepped down, The One that was serving at the time of the Assassination Attempt, and we see the interim director has taken over there. But i dont know what this can all lead to except for better security for future president ial, present, future president ial, present, future president ial, present, future president ial candidates and former President S. Our former President S do enjoy secret Service Protection for many years after they leave office as do their family members. That was put into an act by congress years ago. But this is all the Taxpayer Dollars so we deserve answers, but at the end of the day come of this kind of change is nothing. Of this kind of change is nothing of this kind of change is nothinu. ,. , � ,. , nothing. Ok, so lets talk about these nothing. Ok, so lets talk about these revised nothing. Ok, so lets talk. About these revised charges against former president Donald Trump. What do you make of that . Is going to impact on him and his campaigning and on the Election Results with mark i dont see any short term implications of what the Special Counsel and our Department Ofjustice, i dont see any applications of his actions now. See any applications of his actions now. ,. ,. ,. , actions now. They had to reword thins, actions now. They had to reword things. This actions now. They had to reword things. This is actions now. They had to reword things, this is a actions now. They had to reword things, this is a lot actions now. They had to reword things, this is a lot of things, this is a lot of legalese and getting lost in the weeds right now. Because this is what was required after our Supreme Court said that President S are essentially kings, and its very shocking supreme Court Decision for them to say that this immunity that President S enjoy, is really something that continues to protect Donald Trump. I think this made the court looked quite partisan, even though our court is the highest court of the land and it does not have any partisan bent to it, they are supposed to get the justices that are supposed to look at the law, interpret it and push things down to a Lower Court or uphold a Lower Courts ruling if need be. What many americans see now is that Donald Trump, three can Supreme Courtjustices Donald Trump, three can Supreme Court justices that Donald Trump, three can Supreme Courtjustices that he appointed are essentially protecting him from prosecution by the Special Counsel. So one side Screams Weaponisation of thejudiciary, and the side Screams Weaponisation of the judiciary, and the other side screams the same. We are in a moment which i think theres a little bit of an impasse. Unless something bombastic can come out in a Court Ruling, we sit in the same place that we sat when the Supreme Court decided to extend that immunity to Donald Trump. Yeah, andrew, whats your view on this new indictment . Will it just reenergized his supporters as he shouts Witch Hunt very loudly . As he shouts Witch Hunt very loudl . ,. , ~ ~ loudly . Look, ithink the eole loudly . Look, Ithink The Peeple who loudly . Look, ithink the people who support loudly . Look, i think the I People who support donald loudly . Look, i think the people who support Donald Trump fervently people who support Donald Trump fervently will support Donald Trump fervently come what may they are trump fervently come what may they are detached from reality. And there probably going to continue to oppose Donald Trump, continue to oppose Donald Trump, i dont think it will have trump, i dont think it will have an trump, i dont think it will have an impact on the election, it will have an impact on the election, it will take have an impact on the election, it will take seriously the accusation of what hes accused of. Accusation of what hes accused of this accusation of what hes accused of this is accusation of what hes accused of. This is election fraud, of trying of. This is election fraud, of trying to of. This is election fraud, of trying to partial officials into trying to partial officials into not endorsing a result of an election. Of lying about the election an election. Of lying about the Election Results and trying to spread Election Results and trying to spread lies about it and Insight Spread lies about it and insight a coup effectively on January Insight a coup effectively on january six. These are really, really january six. These are really, really serious allegations about really serious allegations about one who was the president of the about one who was the president of the united states refusing to accept the democratic election result, and we see this election result, and we see this increasingly i think and what this increasingly i think and what is this increasingly i think and what is increasingly a kind of post democratic movement within the far post democratic movement within the far right of politics, we see the far right of politics, we see it the far right of politics, we see it with Victor Orban in hungary, see it with Victor Orban in hungary, limiting the rights of the media and other institutions, you see Narendra Modi institutions, you see Narendra Modi in institutions, you see Narendra Modi in India And Benjamin netanyahu in israel, huge protests against him for his Court Protests against him for his court reforms he was trying to Push Court Reforms he was trying to push through them. There was a lack of push through them. There was a lack of accountability. These people want to be kings, not democratically accountable President S, kings, monarchs, absolute President S, kings, monarchs, Absolute Power. They are dangerous people trying to unwind dangerous people trying to unwind democracy, and its very important unwind democracy, and its very important to people wake up to this because it could go down a very.

Legalthings to the side for quickly. 0k. Legalthings to the side for the quickly. 0k. Legalthings to the side for the moment. So thats the legal side of things. Theres a bit of fresh controversy too on the campaign side. On monday, Donald Trump participated in a wreath laying ceremony at the arlington national cemetery. Us Media Outlet Npr is reporting that two members of the Trump Campaign Team had a verbal and physical altercation. With an official at the cemetery, after the person tried to prevent staffers from filming in a section of the cemetery where recent casualities are buried. A spokesman for the Trump Campaign denied the incident took place. But a statement from the cemetary to npr said can confirm there was an incident, and a report was filed. Rina, is this damaging for the Trump Campaign or is it damaging . Trump campaign or is it damaging . Neither. This campaign damaging . Neither. This campaign has damaging . Neither. This campaign has been damaging . Neither. This| campaign has been Acting Bookish for quite some time. This is typical of Donald Trump and his minions, this is how they behave when they dont get their way. They believe they are about the law, they believe that the former president Donald Trump has Absolute Power which is quite rich because they accused biden and democrats before biden who are in the Oval Office of governing by executive order. I saw no difference when trump was in office. What trumps acolytes essentially do is always trying to put the shoe on the other foot, but they failed because they are unable to look at themselves in their own actions. They felt they have every right for trump is a former president to not only be there to do the ceremony but very much a political stunt to which they wanted to gain points. And they dont believe they were above the law in any way, they feel that they have absolute right to do that. {ltk absolute right to do that. Ok thanks, absolute right to do that. Ok thanks. So absolute right to do that. Ok thanks, so where are we out right now in the president ial rate and terms of pulling. One of the first major surveys post democratic National Convention shows the Vice President holding a four Point Lead over Donald Trump. And this is the state of play, longer term. As of august 28, Analysis Group 538 has the Vice President up an estimated 3. 4 points over Donald Trump their measure is built on Polling Averages from state and national polls. You can see over the course of the last month that gap between the two candidates slowly emerge. Enter, at this stage of the campaign with a couple of months still to go until the actual election, how important, how significant is this pulling data . I how significant is this pulling data . , � , how significant is this pulling data . , v. , data . I think its really significant, data . I think its really significant, i data . I think its really significant, i mean data . I think its really significant, i mean if l data . I think its really l significant, i mean if you think significant, i mean if you think about what the polls were saying think about what the polls were saying when biden was still the democratic candidate after the election democratic candidate after the election debate, trump was ahead election debate, trump was ahead. So this is quite a reversal ahead. So this is quite a reversal for Donald Trump. Hes gone reversal for Donald Trump. Hes gone down reversal for Donald Trump. Hes gone down in the polls, harris has gone gone down in the polls, harris has gone up, it seems more of the kind has gone up, it seems more of the kind of has gone up, it seems more of the kind of independent nonaligned voters have swung over nonaligned voters have swung over to nonaligned voters have swung over to her. And thats a really over to her. And thats a really positive thing, its a positive really positive thing, its a positive thing for anybody who wants positive thing for anybody who wants a positive thing for anybody who wants a semi sane person at least wants a semi sane person at least in wants a semi sane person at least in charge of the largest mititary least in charge of the largest Military And Democracy in the world Military And Democracy in the world for Military And Democracy in the world. For most powerful democracy in the world, anyway. So i democracy in the world, anyway. So i think democracy in the world, anyway. So i think its very significant. Obviously The Us has, significant. Obviously The Us has, like significant. Obviously The Us has, like the uk, a disproportional system, an Electoral College where the popular vote doesnt necessarily end up winning the presidency, as we saw with hillary presidency, as we saw with Hillary Clinton and a couple of elections Hillary Clinton and a couple of elections ago. So it is good news, elections ago. So it is good news, but it is, yeah, its so close. News, but it is, yeah, its so close. Its news, but it is, yeah, its so close, its only four points were close, its only four points were 3. 4 depending which pulls you go were 3. 4 depending which pulls you go by were 3. 4 depending which pulls you go by a difference. Its reassuring, Betterthan You Go by a difference. Its reassuring, better than where we were reassuring, better than where we were and it will be good news we were and it will be good news for we were and it will be good news for democrats after the convention that they have this Poll Bump. Convention that they have this Poll BumpPoll Bump. Will trump be rattled. Poll bump. Will trump be rattled, rina, Poll Bump. Will trump be rattled, rina, given Poll Bump. Will trump be rattled, rina, given the l Poll Bump. Will trump be i rattled, rina, given the fact that polls do get it wrong. Backin that polls do get it wrong. Back in 2016 they got it wrong and trump one. I back in 2016 they got it wrong and trump one. Back in 2016 they got it wrong and trump one. I disagree that these polls and trump one. I disagree that these polls are and trump one. I disagree that these polls are reassuring, and trump one. I disagree that these polls are reassuring, i. These polls are reassuring, i think its still very tight. I think its still very tight. I think thats a bump from a convention that looked great, and we are all expected that. But the hard part starts after Labour Day which is this upcoming weekend. As we roll into september, i was looking to see how much she can increase that lead over trump. We saw polls prior to biden dropping out of the race and we did see her pulling tightly with trunk, but rarely seen her pull above him. With trunk, but rarely seen her pullabove him. Now with trunk, but rarely seen her pull above him. Now she pulls above him butjust lately, that doesnt give me much confidence as a political strategist and so, i think the Harris Walz Campaign is still in an uphill battle, in the Swing States it is where the outcome of the race will be determined by then and in essence, she very much has to do a reintroduction of her self and maybe perhaps after her first exclusive sit down interview she and her Running MateTim Walz, the government of Minnesota Governor of minnesota will do more after that. People may start to open their eyes but we have a lot of americans out there not fully paying attention so i do expect her to increase the lead if these interviews start to go well. Yeah, lets talk yeah, lets about interviews start to go well. Yeah, lets about the Vice President ial nominees. History tells us that choice of Vice President ial nominees doesnt necessarily win or lose a president ial election. But nevertheless, theyre a key campaign component. In 2024 were seeing a Battle Of Two Self described Midwest Guys republican senator from ohioJd Vance, and for the democrats Minnesota Governor, Tim Walz. Theyve each been out on the campaign trail, meeting with voters. This is what happened Whenjd Vance went to a Doughnut Shop in georgia. ImJd Vance, im republican candidate for Vice President this year. 0k. Were going to do two dozen . 0k. Yeah. How long have you worked here . Ive been here since the beginning ofjuly. 0k. The day shift. 0k. How about you, sir . Uh, almost two years. Ok, good. So, that interaction is getting a lot of attention online one of the clips has more than 32 Million views alone. Its been compared to this from the same week, of Governor Walz at a Sandwich Shop in nebraska. Sorry to hold things up for you. You know, we, we really came just to go to runza and then we get a little rally on the side. No kidding . Amazing. Oh, my gosh, im so excited to meet you where are you from . Im from here, right here. I went to school up the road. How are you doing . Did you really . Rina, they couldnt have been any different in the reactions of people in their shops. Lots of people in their shops. Lots of views but will that translate into votes . It definitely can. A hopeful message, One Ofjoy is The One that the Harris Campaign is relying on, when you see Governor Walz come in and say hey we came here for you, thats at its finest. He is affable and easy to get along with, Jd Vance seems a little rough around the edges, his personal interactions with people seem to be alone for the times, you dont have be a fan of either one to see there is a distinct difference between them. Of course there is an age difference, Jd Vance. Jd vance is your senator right now, Tim Walz is a governor right now. This is about personality and events does not seem as comfortable as Tim Walz, and that looks like it may matter to some people. They may matter to some people. They may want to turn out for walz, because he projects this oh my gosh, i will fix your car on the side of the Road Kind of attitude. And only because i mention pulls earlier i do want to say, Jd Vance did not contribute any kind of boost in the polls after he was named a Running Mate and Tim Walz a week after he was named harris Running Mate it seemed, there seem to be a retreat renewed attention to the campaign. The Club Thing that a lot of political strategist like me are looking at. Political strategist like me are looking at. Political strategist like me are lookin at. ~. , are looking at. When we look at elections. Are looking at. When we look at elections, how are looking at. When we look at elections, how carefully elections, how carefully choreographed are these rotten events at shops, different places, schools, hospitals, and are they vetted, the people vetted beforehand and if so, whats gone wrong in the Vance Campaign that theyve got this one so wrong . Campaign that theyve got this one so wrong . You see it wasnt ve well one so wrong . You see it wasnt very well choreographed, one so wrong . You see it wasnt very well choreographed, and i one so wrong . You see it wasnt very well choreographed, and as rina said. Very well choreographed, and as rina said, Jd Vance is not particularly warm, friendly, slightly particularly warm, friendly, slightly socially awkward and seems slightly socially awkward and seems to me. Not particularly likeable seems to me. Not particularly likeable on many levels really come likeable on many levels really come if likeable on many levels really come if you delve into his politics come if you delve into his politics as well. He is quite awkward. Some politicians are good awkward. Some politicians are good of awkward. Some politicians are good of that sort of thing, if you think good of that sort of thing, if you think back a long time now over you think back a long time now over 30 you think back a long time now over 30 years tojohn you think back a long time now over 30 years to John Major who was not over 30 years to John Major who was not on over 30 years to John Major who was not on my week of politics but he was not on my week of politics but he was very good on a soapbox. But he was very good on a soapbox, upturned step on the pavement and speak to people, Tony Pavement and speak to people, tony Blair Pavement and speak to people, Tony Blair was always seen as quite Tony Blair was always seen as quite natural, bit smarmy perhaps quite natural, bit smarmy perhaps but again very comfortable around people and other comfortable around people and other people are more stiff and awkward, other people are more stiff and awkward, and i think those images awkward, and i think those images do matter to voters, they images do matter to voters, they do images do matter to voters, they do pick on those signals about they do pick on those signals about how trustworthy they are, how likeable they are, how other how likeable they are, how other people react to them, those other people react to them, those things are important but ultimately the selection is not going ultimately the selection is not going to ultimately the selection is not going to be determined like any election going to be determined like any election by the secondary characters in it, its a choice between characters in it, its a choice between harris and trump, that should between harris and trump, that should make it clear for people i should make it clear for people i would should make it clear for people i would help. Should make it clear for people i would help i would help. Thank you very much, i would help. Thank you very much. We i would help. Thank you very much, we have i would help. Thank you very much, we have more i would help. Thank you very much, we have more from i i would help. Thank you very l much, we have more from you shortly, well see you after a shortly, well see you after a short break. Hello there. Weve certainly seen some contrasting Weather Conditions across the country today. Out to the west, its been cloudy and often wet once again. This was chorley in lancashire this morning, some of the rain really quite heavy, clearing away to some drizzly, murky conditions. The best of the sunshine, well, high cloud, yes, across East Anglia and south east england, but thats where we had the sunshine and the warmth. In fact, Temperatures Peaking in the high 20s by the middle part of the afternoon. Probably too hot for many of us, but as those Weather Fronts that brought the Rain Sink south and east, no rain on it, but theyre going to introduce fresher air as they move through overnight. So on thursday morning, then, well start off with a lot of sunshine and just a few scattered showers across northern england, northern ireland. Showers more frequent into scotland, moving from west to east through the day. Top temperatures between 14 19 degrees here, but we should see temperatures at 23 celsius, so a little bit more pleasant perhaps across south east england. Now, as we move through thursday evening, those showers will tend to fade away, perhaps just clinging to the far north of Scotland Clearing skies, thats going to allow those temperatures to fall away into single figures. Maybe a little bit misty and murky as well first thing into northern ireland, south west scotland. But on the whole, we keep that quieter theme of weather. Friday will start off dry, settled with some sunshine coming through. Cloud will build up through the day, but it should be largely dry for many throughout the day, and temperatures will once again range from 15 19 degrees in the north, perhaps 20 23 celsius across parts of england and wales. High pressure is going to stay with us as we move into the weekend. It will start to drift its way north and east, allowing the Wind Direction to come in for more of an easterly that could push in more cloud off the north sea. Certainly a fresher feel on those exposed east coast, and perhaps not as sunny as it has been, so sheltered western areas seeing the best of the sunshine and a dry day for scotland and northern ireland, and as a result, a little warmer as Well Highs here of 22 degrees.
