Out the odd light shower as well in the afternoon. Much of Northern Ireland, the midlands, North West South west england, should do pretty well in the sunshine. Quite breezy as well, especially along north sea coast. Temperature is at best around 24 coast. Temperature is at best around 2a celsius. Any of those showers tend to fizzle out through this evening and overnight than most places will be dry. Again we have got quite a breeze across england, wales and Northern Ireland and that picks up in the south west bringing a line of heavy showers or thunderstorms. Quite a muddy field to the south. A bit fresher further north. On friday things get a bit more interesting. We have got the first of two Weather Front spreading across england, wales and Northern Ireland and thundery showers spread northwards. Around the irish coast 60 miles an hour gusts and that might cause issues. But a nice fine day for scotland. Here we have got the high teens. Because of the clouds and thunderstorms 22 or 2
Andriy khlyvnyuk, welcome to hardtalk. Thank you for having me here. Good day, sir. Its a pleasure to have you here. Im very mindful that youve just made a pretty extraordinary journey, serving on the front line in ukraine with the Security Forces just a couple of days ago, and then, a long journey to here in london. In a couple of days, you will be making music in front of Tens Of Thousands of people at chelsea football stadium. All of that sounds kind of surreal. Does it feel that way to you . This is one kind of contrast. Three days ago, me and, actually, my partner who is here as a Shooting Cameraman we were under Artillery Fire in kherson, and then, a trip by bus, sleep on a bus last night, and then, a flight here. And here i am. This is quite a contrast, believe me. And im very, very glad and happy to observe People Living a peaceful life and having peace problems, chatting in cafes and having, i dont know, everything even those trafficjams is fun. Is there any sense of guilt whe
Persuasive rather than polarising . Kwame kwei armah, welcome to hardtalk. Thank you so much for having me. It is a great pleasure to have you. Now, youve been in the Theatre Business as an actor, a writer and a director for the best part of three decades. Ijust used that phrase, some would call it a cliche, about the culture wars. Does it feel to you that today there is a somewhat toxic culture war . I think youve framed it beautifully. It is toxic, but most importantly, its disingenuous. In my humble opinion. Its used to kind of create political fear. And ourjob as artists is, i think, fundamentally to take away that fear, to take away the binaries that i think this farce of the culture wars are. You know, i often hear politicians and im not one to diss politicians, but i also often hear politicians use race or class or immigration or use history as a Battering Ram to get themselves into the hearts of the populist. But those issues youve just outlined race, immigration they are centr
change is not man made. the banks of this world know it s not going to happen! and paul goes for the ride of his life. you know, there s more to light than meets the eye, and i mean that literally. although it gives us all of the beautiful colours of the rainbow, we can only see a small fraction of the light that s all around us. we can t see infrared, but we can feel it as heat. ultraviolet is invisible but our skin knows if we have too much of it. and then there are x rays and gamma rays and microwaves, but it s radio waves that i ve come to talk about today. this is spire global, which makes satellites that listen to the radio waves that bounce around and off of the earth. we use data from space to improve life on earth full stop. we re done, right? ok, so maybe it s a bit more complicated than that. spire has a network of around 100 satellites in orbit that monitor the radio waves broadcast by things like planes and ships, along with natural radio waves that are reflect
is present this as a triumph for their leader. the uprising is over and the kremlin is trying to reframe the optics as what happened as a victoria bought the president and for russia. but where is yevgeny prigozhin? under his deal with the kremlin, he agreed to leave russia for belarus. today, the leader of belarus, alexander lukashenko, said yes, he is here, but in exile, could mr prigozhin still be a threat to the kremlin? not if vladimir putin could help it. he is suggesting that investigators might probe the wagner group. a less than subtle hint to the wagner chief not to make trouble. the last few days have put him under huge pressure. now president putin is determined to show he is in control. here in the ukrainian capital, i have spent most of the day talking to senior members of president zelenskyy s administration to see the mimic of the current situation. there has to be a major pinch of salt when you talk to people who are fighting what they believe is a life and d
