as well as that, we've relied on my mum coming over from northern ireland frequently. so maybe, like, two, three, four weeks at a time she will come and stay with us. i am going to get soppy. my mum has been my rock. my mum has always been my rock. to see the change from how active ashleigh was is just, oh, unbelievable. itjust saddens me so much, and i have cried. i've cried — not in front of her, obviously — i've cried at home. you just feel her pains and you feel the lowness in her heart and in her voice. without a shadow of a doubt, long covid has been far worse than covid. with long covid, it'sjust a living hell with no real end date to aim for, no light at the end of the tunnel. i think i need to have hope for my own mental health. if this is it, how can i best live my life? how can i still be me? even though it might not be bouncing up a mountain or kayaking down a river, you know? there's got to be other things out there that can help me or make me happy. one of the striking things about long covid is how ill people can be while outwardly looking well. howe

northern scotland, sunny spells and a chance for showers, brightening up in northern ireland. largely dry through central and eastern parts of england. these are your wind speed averages — gusts are high, particularly with the rain band along irish sea coasts, gusting near 50mph in places, and the higher temperatures will be those parts of eastern england that break out into a few sunny spells — we could see 18 celsius again. there will be further rain overnight thursday into friday, but the idea is it's starting to move further east on another very mild night. and on friday, that rain will reach parts of eastern england that have stayed dry through much of the week. there'll be another spell of rain moving through scotland, but, as it all begins to pull away eastwards, it will be much drier to end friday, and particularly in those areas that have seen so much rain so far this week. at the same time, temperatures are coming down a few degrees. we're not finished with the rain, though — low pressure still very much in charge for the weekend, and another band of wet weathe

and the weather improving certainty across northern ireland and western scotland as well. so those changes are behind this cold front that's going to be pushing its way southeastward through the weekend. yes, the air will get fresher, but it will be much more in the way of sunshine for many on sunday. so a few showers for scotland across northern and western areas, maybe one or two for the north coasts of northern ireland. here is our cold front, very weak, just bringing a few patches of cloud, maybe an odd spit of rain across east anglia and southern england, but most of the day will be dry and bright. plenty of sunshine elsewhere. temperatures about 14— 16 celsius quite widely, so still a little above average. now, monday sees a bit more rain move into northern and western scotland. could be quite heavy for a time as well. temperatures here getting close to average. it will be a bit cooler than it has been. highs of 12 in aberdeen, but otherwise temperatures a little above average, bright or sunny spells, highs between around 15—17 degrees. but in the week ahead, tho

drizzle and then, our weather front bringing persistent rain quite slowly eastwards across northern ireland and into western scotland. it'll be breezy or windy wherever you are but particularly windy in the west of scotland with wind gusts in excess of 50 mph in exposed places, but feeling relatively mild —12, 13 or 1a degrees. as we head through saturday night, there will be a lot of cloud. we'll see outbreaks of rain moving very slowly eastwards through scotland, hanging on across parts of northern ireland, getting into northwest england, parts of wales and the south—west as well, but a much milder start to sunday morning. and our frontal system will continue to trudge its way eastwards through the day. and really, i think this weather front is going to break up into showers, so it won't be raining all the time. but we are going to see some even milder weather, if anything, spreading northwards across the uk. so, this is sunday's forecast. we will see a lot of cloud to start off. some outbreaks of rain tending to break up into showers with some sunny spells developing, too. a brisk wi

parts of northern ireland, england and wales will see the cloud thinning and breaking to reveal some brighter interludes. top temperatures between 1a and 17 degrees, light winds down towards the south, but it will be quite easy further north. through wednesday night into thursday, this cloud continues to feed in with some mist and hill fog, some spots of rain and temperatures of 9 to 11 degrees. some more persistent rain, though, beginning to develop in the north of scotland, and that's the first sign of a change. this weather front dropping into the picture during thursday will bring some outbreaks of rain southwards across scotland, that rain particularly heavy and persistent in the northwest highlands, some of that rain getting into northern ireland later in the day accompanied by a strong wind and a wind that will change direction and will start to come down from the north, bringing the first hint of some colder air into northern scotland. further south, england and wales mainly dry, often cloudy. once again, 16 or 17 degrees. but as we move through thursday night into friday, th

there will be showers elsewhere though much of northwest scotland and northern ireland will avoid the rain from this weather system, it will be a cool day on tuesday and near that rain, there's a chance of gales as well. the area of low pressure will slowly move away into the north sea as we go on into wednesday with high pressure building in behind. still breezy across eastern areas with early showers or some spells of rain slowly easing. lighter winds elsewhere with some sunshine around, clouding up again towards northern ireland and parts of scotland later in the day as outbreaks of rain move in on wednesday. now, later in the week, there's a change of weather pattern, if you like, low pressure. this is ex—hurricane sam in the northwest. a trailing weather front, though, will be sitting across parts of scotland and northern ireland thursday into friday with a chance of rain, whereas elsewhere, high pressure is building in. now, all parts will turn milder, but drierfor wales and england, quite a bit of cloud, though, and some mist and fog around. welcome to newsday on the bbc. i'm

brightening up across ireland later on, adding some afternoon sunshine potentially in east anglia and the south—east — even if it's on the hazy side. we could see temperatures get up to around 21 degrees. this stage in october, your average temperatures are around 10—14 degrees across the country. and we could be probably around those values through night and into thursday morning. low pressure still around across the country through wednesday night, and we're going to see more in the area of low pressure systems spreading their way northwards and eastwards. this one will bring heavy rain at times through the central swathe of the country, brightening up on the southern flank of it before more wet and windy weather arrives. not a bad day through the northern half of scotland, and sunshine and showers later in northern ireland. but whilst we'll see temperatures 17 or 18 in the south and east, it's turning cold across the north. that cooling trend continues into thursday. welcome to bbc news — i'm david eades. our top stories: seventeen american missionaries and family members h

this will extended to parts of southern scotland and northern ireland, and then something heavier arrives. there will be some sunshine, the best for wales in the south—west after this morning's mist and fog. gentle winds across the country, coming from a southerly direction and that will push the milder air back further north once again, the very final of scotland, temperatures 9-12. very final of scotland, temperatures 9—12. through this evening and overnight, wet through parts of northern ireland and scotland, the rain spreading into england and wales, the far south, the final staying dry and we see the best of the sunshine there, but the rest of the sunshine there, but the rest of the country, after a wet start, turning drier later. goodbye for now. hello. this is bbc news. i'm ben thompson. the headlines. police say they're treating the killing of the mp sir david amess as a terrorist incident, after he was stabbed to death during a constituency surgery. side by side in grief — the prime minister and leader of the opposition visit the scene as tributes are paid from across polit

ireland signing up is another sign of that. what they see is that the first pillar without making it harder to tax office when they arise instead of applying to multinationals only applies to around 100 multinationals and only a small bit of their profit, so that has really lost a lot of ambition. the global minimum tax now has so many carveouts that it tax now has so many carveouts thatitis tax now has so many carveouts that it is going to make it even for ireland that has a tax rate below that really quite a small impact, and the last thing, what we are seeing is a lot of lower income countries starting to say they might reject this deal now even that to agree injuly because the benefits of them will be so small. unfortunately i think we're going to see a high—level statement today where the oecd says, yes, everyone is still with us, but almost all of the technical looks like it is going to be pushed further down the line again and we start to wonder whether we are actually going to get that deal at all. goodness. ok. alex,
