The story that those journalists were working on a detailed investigation into a mass execution in a village in eastern myanmar. And weve seen their report. Our reporter, James Clayton, is across the story and is with me now. What has just happened tonight . Reuters have tonight decided to publish a story that it claims is in the International Public interest, why they have published now is they have been working on the story for weeks been in touch with those journalists in myanmar, in a prison there, and they say they have their consent to publish this story now. What were they investigating . Well, reuters say that their investigation is the first to obtain evidence from some of the perpetrators of this horrific violence, so they spoke to Police Officers in myanmar and members of a paramilitary group, and spoke to local villagers in inn din, and what they managed to amass was testimony of really quite nasty crimes and they implicate the military, they found pictures or were given pictures of an execution before and after, and they spoke to a local buddhist man who confessed to the murder in cold blood of a rohingya muslim. Reuter are saying they have the consent of the journalists, but we know the real reason they might have been arrested was the story they were working on. What might the consequences be . We do not know, it has literally just dropped. Clearly, reuters are taking a calculated risk with publishing tonight. On the one hand, i am sure reuters will now say, this is the real reason why our two journalists were arrested. On the other hand, of course, the myanmar government might say, actually, we dont like the story, it might anger them. And the two journalists are being held by the myanmar authorities. We will speak to the editor in chief of reuters but first of all, we have put together some of the claims that reuters are making and a word of warning, some of these images are quite distressing. On the 12th of december last year, two myanmarjournalists working for the reuters news agency, wa lone and kyaw soe oo, travelled to a restaurant in northern yangon to meet two Police Officers. They never came home. They were arrested and later charged under the official secrets act for allegedly obtaining confidential documents. Theyre being held in a jail in yangon. Tonight, reuters have published what they believe was the real reason for their journalists arrests. An investigation that focused on the village of inn din. The violence that took place here in late august and Early September last year was echoed across parts of northern rakhine state. These before and after satellite images show the extent to which the rohingya part of the village was burnt to the ground. Only the buddhist area, to the top left, was spared. But what reuters claimed to have found was even darker. Theirjournalists have been told by a number of sources that ten men had been picked out from a crowd of Rohingya Muslims including fishermen, shopkeepers and students and executed. Reuters claim after a day of interrogation, they were led into a wood. Reuters say these images that the agency has published tonight were given to theirjournalists by a local buddhist. Weve decided to blur parts of this graphic image. It shows the ten men in a shallow mass grave. You can identify many of the men by the clothes they are wearing. Reuters journalists were told by the man who dug the pit that eight of the men were shot by soldiers and two were hacked to death by the villagers. Back in myanmars capital, naypyidaw, at the same time as the journalists arrests, myanmar authorities were themselves looking into the execution. On the 10th of january, the military announced on its Facebook Page that theyd undertaken their own investigation and that soldiers and local buddhists had indeed taken part in the killings. But the military were forced to kill the bengali terrorists, they said, because police stations were being attacked by rohingya militants and it was unsafe for them to transport them. A decision was made to kill them, says the military statement. But reuters say that buddhist villagers their journalists interviewed reported no attack by a large number of insurgents on Security Forces in inn din, or that the ten men had any connection with terrorism. The news Agency Claims theirjournalists also gathered unique evidence of military involvement in attacks on Rohingya Muslims. Speaking to not only local villagers in inn din, but Police Officers and members of the paramilitary. One man who spoke to the two journalists described finding four Rohingya Muslims hiding in a haystack. One of the men had a mobile phone. The soldiers told him to do whatever you want to them. And so i started hacking him with a sword, he said. A soldier shot him when he fell down. Reuters has cross referenced testimony from buddhists on the ground with Rohingya Refugees over the border in bangladesh. Newsnight is unable to verify the claims made by the agency. But reuters claim that their account marks the first time soldiers and Paramilitary Police have been implicated by testimony from security personnel themselves. Its clear incarceration is taking its toll on wa lone and kyaw soe oo and their families. Reuters believe that the evidence the journalists obtained is the real reason for their arrest. But the myanmar authorities are continuing to pursue charges against the two journalists. Will telling this story help wa lone and kyaw soe oo . Well find out in court. Joining me now from new york is stephen adler, editor in chief of reuters. Good evening. Thank you very much forjoining us tonight. You heard James Clayton saying that, in fact, this is taking its toll on both men and i wonder why you decided to publish tonight . We believe this is a story of vast global importance and we have a responsibility to publish, that is what we do asjournalists, we report stories fairly and honestly and then we publish them and we thought it was important enough and wa lone and kyaw soe oo agreed, and you will see that their bylines are on the story. Anybody can see the story. They fully support our publishing the story. A very brave thing for them and for their families to do so. I am sure you do not do this lightly, what is the next step for them . We certainly do not do this lightly, but we did not take the legal considerations into hand in deciding to publish. We are concerned about security, but we believe that when the story is known by people that it will be helpful to them because it really gives a very careful, well sourced account of what really happened, and i think those facts support the idea that they were reporting, not violating any law. You think you have come upon the real reason for the arrests, that they had this material, and the authorities could go either way, as with that statement, if these investigations prove to be true, they would move along the lines of the law that exists in the country. What do you take them to mean by that . Again, i think the point really is that we have to go forward and report the story and we have to tell the world about it. I think it provides a tremendously valuable service, ourjournalists agree with that and we think that as the facts come out, itll be favourable to our journalists and what were doing, but you do have to consider there are tremendous risks doing journalism anywhere in the world. Reuters journalists take that risk every time, so do bbc journalists and journalists everywhere. I think thats part of the job and we are hopeful and we hope the government will release them shortly. I will also say that its very important for the World Community to care about this and governments all over the world will take an interest, representatives of governments from many countries 52 hfilieerefififiiebfieinifi ef behingge e r and t refills . So while we have no certainty as to how things will proceed, we think it is our responsibility to give reporting. For the first time, you not only have members of the Security Forces but a buddhist villager actually confessing to involvement . Having trouble hearing you. If this is about the sourcing of the story. Its about the significance of the information that has been found from the side of the buddhists . Right. I understand you now. What is important about this story is that we heard from buddhist villagers, Rohingya Muslims and members of the military and police, and what is so compelling about this story is the information that comes together from all these different places, so you are not seeing one or the other side presenting information but this story is being woven together with people acknowledging what happened, and i think it is very important because i think this has often been seen as merely a conflict between two sides, but there are facts here and we have established those facts by talking to many people on the ground using traditional reporting methods, just interviewing people. Thank you so much forjoining us. Im joined now by the labour mp, dr rosena allin khan, who has visited rohingya refugee camps in bangladesh. Good evening to you. What is your response to this tonight . This evidence we have seen mirrors the testimonies i have heard and the injuries i experienced when i went to work in the camps as a doctor. It is deeply upsetting, you have just seen the images. This is not going to be the first such a card that we see, more and more evidence like this is going to unfold and currently we have been bystanders to a genocide. These two reporters here, injail, they want the story out there . Lets be very clear, this evidence marks a turning point, because for the First Time Since this all started to unfold in august, we have heard from the perpetrators themselves. We cannot deny this evidence. What does that tell us about what might move and change and also, what the burmese government said . To the deepest so far has been that it has been turned ethnic cleansing, which is not a crime at all. Nothing short of referral to the International Criminal court will do. But actually from this statement they have made the night, they do not deny that will stop surely that is a step forward. Frankly, i have very little trust in what their government says. They conducted internal investigation yesterday that yielded results that said. Even the fact that for the first time they acknowledged the atrocities that have taken place, that there are problems, that in itself is surely you will press forward on . Absolutely. You are correct, but i think the acknowledgement is important but it has to be followed up and properly investigated and they need to allow external International Investigator to come and look at this because it needs a referral to the International Criminal court. This will not be the only grave found. Even last weekend we heard evidence of genocide. We have heard of mass graves where people have been systematically dehumanised by the use of acid, the very definition of genocide. Over the last few months the International Reputation of Aung San Suu Kyi has altered immeasurably, and if this is the case, this will change it again. What will happen do you think . I want Aung San Suu Kyi to use the position she has to allow for the correct thing to happen, this has to be investigated properly. She has called it a fake news, she has been a bystander, our government also has to apply more pressure. We have a seat at the security council, were not doing enough, the International Community needs to stand together, stand up and say, look, we have seen this evidence, the army had admitted itself, what is Aung San Suu Kyi going to do about it . Lets have a transparent process of investigating this and make sure the perpetrators of these he describes are brought to justice. Thank you very much. Us officials have said tonight that two british men believed to be members of the Islamic State groups most infamous cell have been seized by Syrian Kurdish fighters. Alexanda kotey and El Shafee Elsheikh were the last two members of the four man cell nicknamed the beatles to remain at large. The alleged ringleader of the group was Mohammed Emwazi also known asjihadi john. Im joined by the bbcs security correspondent, gordon corera. This news broke this evening, british officials are not yet confirmed it but an American National security official i spoke to said that these two men had been captured. They were part of this four man group, slightly unpleasantly called the beatles really pulls the people they were holding hostage could not see them because they wore masks but they could hear the british accents of the men and they were involved terrible mistreatment including the killing of around two dozen hostages including british aid workers alan henning and david heyes. The group were sought by the intelligence agencies and authorities, one, Mohammed Emwazi, was killed, another is in jail in turkey and now these two captured by Kurdish Forces who had their suspicions about the men and approached Us Special Operations command who had access to them and appear to have used biometrics to confirm their identity and that happened in mid january. And taking them alive was important but what happens next and what does it tell us about foreign fighters . What happens next is interesting. There will be people in the us who will be preparing a case to put them on trial, they had been involved in the killing of american hostages Steven Sotloff and james foley amongst others, and it is possible the Trump Administration might want to put them in guantanamo bay. That is less likely but donald trump has talked about it recently. It might not be such an issue for the uk government because it is thought possible that there are citizenship may have been stripped of them, that has not been confirmed but reported in the american media. A significant night. Certainly. Thank you very much. Local councils all over england are using words like severe financial challenges and a grave financialfuture. Such is the squeeze on local finances and most importantly for the government, some of the biggest calamity is in staunchly tory territory. Services at risk are everything from social care to education to refuse collection. Research carried out by the local Government Information Unit and the municipaljournal found that 80 of councils fear for their balance sheets. Council tax will rise in 95 of authorities. The research comes as conservative run Northamptonshire County Council imposed emergency controls on its spending, the first local authority in 20 years to resort to that measure, and there are calls in councils across the country for a fundamental redesign of the financial system. Our political editor, nick watt, has been to another tory heartland facing the squeeze. In one of the leafiest corners of englands pleasant pastures, the troubles of austerity should be a world away. But true blue surrey has run up the deficit to rival the shortfall in the nations books clocked up at the end of the new labour era. I am on the wentworth estate, the millionaires row of surrey. This area was once home to sir eltonjohn and for a period to the late general Augusto Pinochet and it lies in the heart of chancellor Philip Hammonds runnymede and weybridge constituency which is one of the most affluent in britain. And yet the challenges faced across the country of an ageing population and spending cuts are leaving this area with some serious fiscal challenges. Surrey county council is warning of the most difficult financial crisis in its history. As document showed it is running a £105 million deficit. That represent a funding gap of 12. 4 , nearly double the english average. Of course its not but since 2010 when David Cameron became Prime Minister surrey has lost over £500 million of funding and it has meant that most of the police stations in surrey have been closed, apart from four or and now they are starting to close fire stations. One minister complained to me that surrey faced two specific financial challenges. In the first place it spends a lot of money on Public Services which this minister supports but secondly its relative wealth means that surrey has faced what he described as stingy financial settlement from whitehall under a funding formula that target resources at less affluent areas. I worked for the cab and i see all the problems that come on with lack of social care. I dont blame councils. They are being starved for cash by the government. We have both had experience with our mothers in social care, in the midlands and down here, and i must admit the social care was better in the midlands. Surrey might appear to be a very affluent county but it does not mean to say that it has wonderful hospitals. Surrey have been seeking additional government money for quite some time and obviously that is a process of negotiation between surrey and the government but clearly i have some sympathy for them because of their ageing demographics. But there is a large number of other services that Surrey County council provide that have to be looked at very carefully to make sure they are structured in the best way to get the best value for money. Surrey county council said in a statement, we have agreed a three year budget despite the severe financial pressure we and councils across the country are under due to rising demand for our services and fall in government funding. Were been successfully managing the growing need for adult social care, children and other key services, partly through making savings of £540 million since 2010 and have made sure we keep within our overall budget. In a tranquil riverside setting where english liberties were proclaimed just over 800 years ago, surrey invites visitors to celebrate its history. Little did the county know that todays politics would encroach on this rural idle. Idyll. Nick watt. In washington today mps from the digital culture, media and Sport Committee were grilling facebook, google and twitter on among other things their response to fake news on their platforms. Here is the committee chair, damian collins, grilling twitter. What were talking about is lies, someone who is deciding to spread lies about somebody else. Theyre not harassing them, theyre not intimidating them, theyre not inciting violence against them, theyre just spreading lies. And theyre using the anonymity of twitter to do that. Theres basically nothing you will do about it. If i could, the anonymity on our platform is not a shield against breaking our terms of service. Telling lies on twitter isnt a breach of the Community Guidelines and wouldnt require action to be taken against the account. Thats what youre saying, isnt it . If thats the only ground. We do not have rules based on truth. So is fake news such a big deal that its necessary for uk politicians to head to washington for, or is the Dcms Committee getting a bit overexcited about a term that has had its day . With me in the studio is the right wing campaigner and best selling author ann coulter one of the very few people donald trump follows on twitter, and joining me from la is the writer laurie penny. Good evening. Website which gets hits from nearly 800,000 people says that members of Hillary Clintons campaign were involved in a satanic cult, that matters, doesnt it . Or does it not . Should the tech giants be filtering this stuff . The internet is the only place people can get the truth, maybe not from the website you just mentioned but 800,000 viewers, Hillary Clinton spent 1 billion. This idea that bots putting likes of facebook swung the election is so insane, that is fake news. You believe things like cnn, abc, nbc, theyve put out fake news . Intentionally. The claim that donald trump admitted to groping a womans, you know, blank, is a lie. He says on the tape they edit the tape to lie about it. You can win that is a Summary Judgment case in court and the editor that part of the quote out. If it damaging to have not only fake news but actually the idea that it doesnt necessarily matter . You hit on something quite important, the distinction between censorship and what is going on out is important. Fake news, what we have come to call that, which is actually lies, the point is not just to spread lies, it is to make people unsure of the distinction between what is true and what is false. When people have eroded trust in the news media which is what ann coulter is trying to do right now, erode trust in honest journalistic networks, when people cannot trust their media, they often prefer to believe convenient lies to hard truths. But there are still people out there who believe in the power of honest journalism and the power, in real democracy, which involves people being really informed and there are people out there who believe that people in power should notjust to be allowed to dictate what is true and what is false. Some of those people are sitting around you in a studio right now, they are working in a bbc studio, and some people watching at home, people who believe there is a distinction between truth and falsehood and that distinction matters. I would encourage. You are in a situation where if you are saying that the Mainstream News Networks readily pile out fake news, are you notjust aiding the despot who say, its all about fake news from cnn, even the bbc, so we wont believe it . You are helping people by undermining the probity of mainstream media. I am citing laws that have been put on it, it doesnt mean you believe everything. I agree with you guessed that the issue is censorship, who is deciding . I have just listed. 20 lies that have been and continue to be put out by the media, they claim that donald trump mocked a disabled man, not only was alive but the Washington Post you that was a lie. Video proving that was alive. And youre only light is some website said he is part of a satanic cults. How about, she defended. It doesnt matter if a is told. It does matter if a lie is told. Of course it does the lies that are told about donald trump. In a satanic cult . Are you finished . May i speak . Thank you very much. The word salad that you have heard is exactly what were talking about, what she wants to do does not make a distinction between what is true and not true, it isjust to confuse people and make it easier for people in power with no scruples to just decide what is true and what is false and this culture miss coulter is a troll with no credibility and so is the president but we should not take this as the basis upon which what we can decide is true or not. What do you actually do, because once you start essentially filtering or censoring, then who are the deciders . Are there things. There is no such thing as absolute truth. There are shades of truth. There are nuances of truth. That is why we have journalism. You have worked at the bbc for a very long time, everybody in the studio has worked for a long time, journalism is still at think a thing that exists and matters and should be a distinction. We already have the situation where you tweeted what reported to be a muslim man attacking a young dutchman and you retweeted it, and at one point have 1. 8 million and donald trump retweeted that and you did not even know where that came from. You tweeted it without checking it. Youre a polemicist. And youre somebody in the public eye. You regret that now . Commenator i have seen no proof that it is untrue and your question is correct, who is deciding what is true . I keep citing things that are provably false. It wasnt true, though. Your guests say that journalists will decide, our country was roiled by the ferguson shooting for a year, that turned out to be the biggest lie finally admitted by the media. Whos deciding . Thank you very much. That is not true two days after the Guardian Newspaper reported that two freemasons lodges are operating secretly at westminster, with their members names protected under the rules of freemasonary, the United Grand Lodge of england has fought back with full page adverts in newspapers including todays times, headlined enough is enough. Signed by their chief executive, dr david staples, he writes that its 200,000 plus members are stigmatised and discriminated against. So, the letter states, over the next six months, the freemasons will be running a series of open evenings for people who want to know who they are and what they do. Our reporter david grossman, though, is getting ahead of the crowds. If youre like me, you probably dont spend too much time thinking about the freemasons or what goes on in a place like this. This is Freemasons Hall in london. But today, the freemasons do want us to think about them. Theyve taken out a full page advert in all the newspapers. Enough is enough, it says. And in this letter, they say that the freemasons are unfairly stigmatised in the media and by wider society. Weve been invited in to see what goes on here by the chap who wrote this letter dr david staples, the chief executive. David, hello. Nice to meet you. Hi. David grossman. Weve come about your advert. Oh, its ok. We were told we could go anywhere, see anything and talk to anyone. Could we see a lodge meeting, we asked . No problem, they said. Except. Well, there was a problem. All right, so we have to find one . We have to find one. Do you want to stay here and ill nip upstairs . And see if its there . Ok, thank you very much. Once we found the meeting, it was full of smartly dressed men wearing aprons and sashes. Whats the daggerfor . Thats a ceremonial thing to guard the entrance of the lodge. So, this chap here is called the inner guard. Youre the inner guard . Hello. Theres various different. And what do you do as an inner guard . I knock on the door, let people in and. Make sure people are dressed properly. Do you understand why some people will look at this and go, its all sinister, it is all cloak and dagger . I mean, theres literally a dagger there. Weve just not done enough to show people who we are and what we do. Weve allowed the media space in the last 20 years to have the same old hackneyed conspiracy theories, the same old jokey things about trouser legs and all the rest of it. Thats not who we are. The reason for the enough is enough message in the papers today was a story on monday. A secret cabal of freemasons at westminster involving journalists and mps. David says theres no truth behind any of it. The reality is today, he says, that masons are discriminated against. I have barristerfriends, they dont want to let people know that they are freemasons. Not because theyre involved in anything furtive or secret but because they dont want to be associated with the myth of all the corruption. And its detrimental to them to be a freemason in the open. Theres policemen, again completely the reverse of what is reported, theres policemen who i know who are absolutely clear that if they are outed as freemasons, that is the end of their career prospects. Big exposes of freemasonry in the 70s and 80s alleged the police were riddled with secret handshakes, backscratching and worse. Labour home secretary jack straw said in 1997 that masons in the police and judiciary should be identified. He eventually backed down in the face of a legal challenge. But at the same time as being seen as sinister, freemasonry also has a comic reputation. Having once identified a mason, immediate steps must be taken to isolate him from the general public. The final part of my tour was the grand lodge, a sort of cathedral of freemasonry. Lots of symbols, an all seeing eye to symbolise the belief in a higher power. The trappings of a religion, but i was told it certainly wasnt. Every freemason has to have a faith. You dont have to believe in one god. So, you cant be atheist or agnostic . No. You have to say. You have to believe in something greater than yourself because you have to believe that, you have to behave yourself or else there is something greater than you that is going to notice. And thats what holds people together . And thats what holds people together. But holds people together to what purpose . I ended my tour not fully understanding much more about what freemasonry actually is. As best as i could make out, its a sort of Networking Club based on principles of self improvement and altruism. But in the mysticism and the ritual, theres plenty of room for outsiders to see anything they want, good or bad. In this age of mass instant communication, there is still a place for one of the most simple, most powerful instruments of information and opinion the t shirt, or slogan tee. The utilitarian garment, which has been emblazoned with everything from the oz trial to the Rolling Stones logo, ripped, safety pinned, and ripped off from one designer to another, is as much part of our social history as ourfashion history. Its being celebrated at an exhibition at londons fashion and textile museum. This unique t shirt, though, is only in the newsnight studio, not the exhibition. It was made minutes before and then worn by the designer and campaigner Katherine Hamnett, when she met mrs thatcher on 17th march 1984. So who better to meet me at the exhibition than the queen of the political t shirt . So this, this is your first t shirt . Yes. It actually came out with an argument i had with lynne franks, who i think you know. Because she was doing this buddhist exhibition and i said, nobodys going to bother to go, its just not putting it over. I said the only way you can get this message over is, how about printing it in huge letters on a t shirt . This whole idea of making a statement in a t shirt, where did you get that from . Well, i was kind of frustrated, you know, during sort of thatchers years because we felt we had no voice, democracy slipping through ourfingers, couldnt stand. And i thought, well, at least if you could do something that people could read from 200 yards on your chest, you know. It gives you a voice. Tell me about this one. This was actually taken from a bbc poll, taken before we decided to invade iraq and it was 91 of people polled were against invading iraq without a second resolution. And we did this the moment the poll came out. It was done at a local snappy snaps. Do you ever irk people with the t shirts, do you think, you know, annoy them . I dont know and i dont care actually. You know, be irked, you know. Do you go to bed at night and think, oh god, what can i do a t shirt on tomorrow . What would be really good . No. No, theyre kind of cries from the heart, they come by themselves, like this one. Yeah. Like, ijust couldnt stop myself i feel so passionately about it. You know, i thought ill actually wear this, tell you when you came, im wearing this or nothing else. Use a condom, dont shoot. All these, you look at those and say these are Katherine Hamnett t shirts but of course theyre not all like that, are they . I mean, the trouble is that lots of people want to appropriate your style. Does that matter . They were designed to be copied, but then i think its really sad if they copy the style and then just write something rather drivelly, you know, something a bit pathetic. Its a shame. Is there something about the t shirt that then creates a tribe . That immediately if you have the same t shirt on as that person and have the same sentiment as that person in your head, the t shirt gives you a sense of belonging . Well, i think youre friends, arent you . You know, because you have the same values, and you believe in the same things, its nice. Then when it came to the punk movement, it was about ripping up t shirts, deconstructing them, again, that was fashion. I think punk was amazing. I mean, it was fascinating and they did the big sort of anarchy, you know, in the uk, bleep the queen, all of that, and, you know, i think a slight misunderstanding of the word anarchy because they thought it was just smashing down everything, actually it means a leaderless society, a society which is so well run it doesnt actually need leaders, like a direct democracy maybe. So, yeah, it was inspiring, it was a very exciting time. Thats almost it from us. But before we go, elon musk may have put a car into space, but now we have the first rave in zero gravity. 20 clubbers from around the world were selected by promoters bigcitybeats to go up in a special airbus a310 to dance and float to a set from superstar dj, steve aoki. So here they are getting very high indeed. Goodnight. A rockets kick. A cold pin prick. A missile launch. Corrupted this. Calculated risk. Was worth a lot. Corrupted was the name of the game. Theyll take that then theyll give it away. A train breaks down in a tunnel. Hello there. We are seeing whether fronts hello there. We are seeing whether fro nts m ove hello there. We are seeing whether fronts move eastward across the country at the moment, bringing a band of rain with it. Cold air follows in the sum that means frost and a risk of ice. The colder across North Western areas we are looking at some showers overnight. Not so much of a problem across east anglia and england where the rain and wind keeping temperatures well above freezing. Now the friday, this weather front is going to push eastwards. The rain tends to slow across france and that is going to cause some problems here. Behind our front, the air turns colder. North westerly wind steering a number of wintry showers, many of them falling snow. We have got rained the start of the day across eastern areas, clearing the way. Still quite a lot of cloud across eastern areas, then a cloudy covering across many places. The Northern Ireland scotland, we are looking at a cold and frosty start to the day with the risk of some icy stretches. There will be a number of showers from the word go, maybe a mixture of rain and sleet towards the coastline but many of the showers inland will be falling snow. A few centimetres building up on the hills. Quite a cold day, temperatures between four and seven but feeling colder in that north westerly wind. Clear skies will allow temperatures to drop away, so again we have risk of boston ice for a time but time across Northern England and wales. We will see the rain turned to snow, potentially even down to low levels in scotland. Ultimately see the weekend, the winds are going to turn more to waive south westerly direction. The snow pushes higher up the mountains before it turns out to rain, we will be left with quite a lot of heavy rain as we get into saturday across england and wales. It is mild, temperatures up to 11 degrees in cardiff. The cold air still hanging on the cost most Northern Areas in scotland. We will get a weather front developing around is low and if that happens, we could get a squeeze on the ice bar. Some strong winds across england for a time before clearing away on sunday. Then were back to the north easterly winds, it is going to be of sunshine and showers. Many of those showers will be falling snow inland, again a mix of rain and snow and sleet at times along the coast. Temperatures between four and eight celsius. In the short term, watch out for the icy start to the day across the north west, around the coast. Temperatures between four and eight celsius. We are going to see some changes with the weather over the next few days. Im mariko oi in singapore. Welcome to newsday on the bbc.
