but the uk is doing that. so, i wonder what you're saying or plan on saying to your hosts while you're here. well, we are grateful for, for example, we have astrazeneca vaccines that we've begun to distribute, and just three days ago we had another lot come into the country. and so we are thankful for what we can use. but it's tiny. i mean, the numbers are tiny relative to the need. for those who get help, it's never too late. we will make sure that we have help when it's needed, and it is needed now. it is needed now. so, when, on the current schedule, do you expect the population of malawi to be vaccinated such that you have the virus under control? we're trusting that, with the 1.3 million doses expected in the next couple of months in total, based on what has been... 1.2 million in two months. yes, we hope that we can continue to roll out this programme and then get more vaccines. now, we havejust passed a resolution to notjust work with one vaccine, but with several. and so we trust that we can have sever

i mean, you talk about the scale of the uk's, quote, "ethnic transformation". you feel and see that, do you? that's your experience? well, anyone who lives in london is... ..has the ethnic transformation of britain up in face, and, no, i just think that cultural change is usually more graceful when it is gradual. and also the degree of transformation in europe in general is occurring without any consultation with the people who live there. do you think you've ever taken it too far, your desire to sort of, i suppose, get in people's faces with your views? i'm thinking particularly, this goes a way back now, but i think five years ago you went to australia to talk at a literary festival and you donned a sombrero for some of that speech to make a point of, i suppose, mocking the decision in an american college to reprimand some students for holding a mexican tequila party wearing sombreros, so you chose to wear a sombrero, and then you made a speech in which you hoped that the notion of cultural appropriation in fiction was a fad, and that caused a real storm. did

close to the uk. and it's around that low pressure that we see these areas of cloud rotating, keeping some wet weather going into the night and into wednesday, as well. if we look at the story over the next few days, we find some sunshine, yes, but there's still the threat of some showers which may be heavy, as well. and certainly on tuesday, there was lots of rain at wimbledon. it looks a lot drier though for wednesday — can't rule out 1—2 showers, mind you, and temperatures will be 20—21 celsius. we start the day pretty cloudy, actually, there may well be some further rain around. as it brightens up, we get some sunshine which triggers more showers, particularly across england and wales, and some of those could be heavy and thundery. may see a few showers breaking out across parts of scotland and northern ireland. a warmer day, though, than it was on tuesday for eastern scotland and the northeast of england. and for many parts of the country, temperatures are a little bit higher on wednesday.

will be cooler across eastern parts of the uk. and here on friday, again, we'll see some mist and murk and low cloud. also down to the south west, notice this heavy, thundery rain drifting into the picture. this is the first sign of our change for the weekend. temperatures also a little bit lower on friday, but as we head into the weekend, this area of low pressure is going to slide across the uk, particularly england and wales, giving some heavy, thundery downpours, possibly enough rain to cause some disruption. across northern ireland and scotland, it should stay mostly dry, but temperatures much lower than they have been. this is bbc news — i'm rebecca jones. our top stories: a year's rainfall in just three days as china's henen province — is hit by some of its worst ever flooding. at least 25 people have died — many caught on the subway — as water poured in — submerging trains and platforms. life expectancy in the united states dropped by one and a half years in 2020, the biggest decline since the second world war. t

so, the forecast through the early hours shows a lot of dry weather across the uk. temperatures will be around 1a celsius or so across the south of the country, just a tad fresher in the north, around 11—12. now, the morning will become increasingly sunny right across the uk, but then fairweather clouds will start to develop, and as we head into the afternoon, those fairweather clouds will turn into storms. and some of the downpours really will be very heavy indeed, but as i say, they will be very well—scattered. not too many of them around across much of scotland or northern ireland. maybe across the grampians here, but the showers certainly will be scattered across many areas of england and mostly away from the coasts — so places like western wales should end up having a pretty decent day, for example, in swansea. so, friday's weather forecast shows a very weak area of high pressure over us. that does mean, i think, fewer showers, at least early in the day, but then, come the afternoon, we are expecting 1—2 to develop once again. but particularly across th

the uk's underneath this ridge, and that is what's causing us the fine weather. this kind of pattern isn't going to change very much day—to—day. and that means tuesday, we'll see more of that fine, sunny, very warm if not hot weather. but again, there could be one or two isolated storms popping up as we go through the afternoon. temperatures again high 20s to the low 30s, the heat wave continues. but it's starting to get a bit hotter again in northern ireland and also into parts of scotland. and that warming trend across these northern areas will continue into the middle part of the week again. so, plenty of sunshine around, one or two afternoon storms just about possible. most of you, though, will have another dry day on wednesday. and those temperatures, high 20s to low 30s, cardiff this time seeing some of the hotter weather. 26 in belfast, and 27 there in glasgow. as i say, this weather pattern�*s not going to change very quickly, but eventually low pressure will likely move in to bring some thundery rain. but there's a lot of uncertainty when exactly t

you may have encountered a warm sunny spell out there today, but for much of the uk there's a lot of cloud around. building big clouds as well, and some heavy, even torrential, thundery downpours to contend with, which may bring some disruption. a chance of seeing some flooding out of some of these. that disruptive weather as we go into the evening across north wales, northern england, northern ireland, scotland, so these are the areas with the greatest risk of seeing some disruptive downpours. and still overnight we will continue with some areas of rain through these areas. the rest of england and toward south wales turning drier. actually drier towards the far north of scotland, as well, with a fair amount of cloud around. 0ne weather disturbance close to scotland for monday — another bearing down in the south—west of england on through monday afternoon. in between the two, there will be a bit of monday sunshine. northern england, northern ireland and scotland, though, starting with a lot of cloud. you can see outbreaks of rain around — still some heavier bursts to come. nort

picture because you can see all of these areas of cloud just rotating around, circulating on top of the uk, and this pattern continues with low pressure firmly in charge. close to the centre of the low, particularly, we are going to see some really intense downpours and thunderstorms popping up during tuesday. so, some cloud and some showery rain from the word go across western and southern parts, a bit more sunshine further east. but through the day, the showers will pop up quite widely, and some of them will be very heavy and thundery, especially across parts of north wales, the north midlands, northern england and scotland. and with very light winds, those showers will be very slow—moving, so in one or two places, we could see an awful lot of rain, giving rise to localised flash flooding. temperatures not doing too badly in the sunshine between the showers, as high as 23—24 degrees. some of those big showers and storms will rumble on through tuesday evening into the early hours of wednesday, and we start to see some more persistent rain developing across parts of scotland. so, low p
