2018. We actually today don't have the graduates to fill those jobs. We | :04:13. | :04:16. | |

this week on BBC Newsline - here's our political correspondent, | :05:01. | :05:02. | |
It's another big year in politics. By three out of the five main party | :05:03. | :05:13. | |
leaders, it'll be the first time that lead their party into Stormont | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
election. Later this week, I'll be assessing the state of play in the | :05:20. | :05:21. | |
unionist and nationalist battle grounds. | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
A look now at the weather for the start of a new week, | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
Ever be wet weather for a while tonight, heavier and more persistent | :05:31. | :05:46. | |
rain edges in from the south-west, the breeze freshening up, but by the | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
end of the night, it will turn more drizzly. Drizzly and damp weather | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
will continue for a while. It would be raining all the time and | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
hopefully, by Wednesday, most of us will have dry weather with some | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
sunshine. More unsettled weather will return towards the end of the | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
week, pushing in from the Atlantic, so it will be my order. This is the | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
weather front bringing tonight's rain. It becomes slow-moving because | :06:17. | :06:23. | |
it is pushing up against this area of high pressure. Several areas of | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
low pressure ganging up in the Atlantic. Tomorrow, we have rain and | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
Isil around to begin with, lots of mist and low cloud, so go before the | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
over high ground. But there would be ice frost and not much lying snow | :06:39. | :06:45. | |
left. There will be snowfall in Scotland and it will be icy in | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
Scotland. Across England and Wales, not as cold, but damp and drizzly in | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
the south-west. Most of the rain edges will edge away tomorrow, so | :06:58. | :07:06. | |
many places drying up at times. Temperatures close to the average | :07:07. | :07:13. | |
for this time of year. On Tuesday, there will be some rain in the east, | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
but it should be dry elsewhere. It will become more unsettled but my | :07:20. | :07:20. | |
