Time for a look at the weather. Heres sarah keith lucas. A bit of spring sunshine. Of us. This is the picture in east sussex. A little bit hazy if you have blue skies. For most, sky is a little bit more like this, the picture in cumbria. A lot of cloud and for the rest of the day producing showery outbreaks of rain drifting east, but quite mild. Particularly in the south and south east. We could see 17 degrees this afternoon, down to the fact the winds are coming from the fact the winds are coming from the south westerly direction, so we have the warmer air mass and weather fronts continuing to produce rain particularly across parts of Central Scotland, quite persistent here, and Northern Ireland.

Got to have somewhere to deposit it. So the rules that were announcing also cover the ability of businesses to deposit cash in a location thats convenient to them. But convenience is a difficultjudgment. To maintain the current provision of free access to cash, for now, the new rules will state that people should have to travel no more than a mile in urban areas to withdraw or deposit cash. In rural areas, the distance has been set at three miles. Theres going to be situations where people are very reliant on Public Transport and if theres bad Public Transport in an area, then three miles might seem like a hike to the himalayas. Whats important is that this recognises that the banks have a duty to protect their customers and to make sure that those who still rely on cash, which is so many of us, continue to be able to access it. If they fail in that duty, banks could be fined by the city watchdog. But Bank Branches are closing at a rate of more than 50 a month. So, the answer may be Ba

Live in east jerusalem. The United Nations and the us have expressed concern about israels plans for a military operation in rafah. The city, at the south western edge of gaza, has seen the arrival of hundreds of thousands of palestinians taking refuge from the fighting elsewhere in the strip. The Israeli Military had previously urged civilians to go there but now, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he has approved plans for an assault on hamas militants believed to be based there. The un issued this warning. I think the consequences of a Ground Operation in rafah under the current circumstances would be catastrophic for the people of gaza, for the palestinians. It would be catastrophic for the humanitarian situation. It would be catastrophic or around. The us is one of israels most important supporters but it seems that the Israeli Government has not shared details of the planned assault on rafah with officials in washington.

Princess dianas brother was speaking in an interview to be broadcast tomorrow on the bbc s sunday with laura kuenssberg. Earlier i spoke to graham satchell, who has been reviewing the material in the interview and asked him what the main thrust of earl spencers comments were. Well, this was a searingly honest interview with earl spencer, and at times difficult to watch, to be honest. He has written a book about his experiences of his childhood, particularly at boarding school, and he talks about suffering shocking levels of violence from the age of eight and being sexually abused from the age of 11. He also talks in some detail about his experience at home with his sister, princess diana, and particularly suffering at the hands of a violent nanny, nanny forster. And this is what he had to say. Really damaging violence to children is going to affect them, whatever house they come from, whatever family theyre born into. And that nanny who did that to us, i mean, she used to crack our Hea
