We're in for a gloomy Christmas week with mild temperatures and a long streak of cloudy skies, according to the Environment Canada forecast.

The seven-day forecast shows no sunny days, with highs ranging from 2 C to 11 C. Rain showers are a possibility for Saturday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

And any hopes of dashing through the snow on Christmas Day have already been dashed.

That high of 11 C is the forecast for Dec. 25.

"I think it's a done deal. It's not going to be (a white Christmas)," Environment Canada senior climatologist Dave Phillips said earlier this week.

There is, however, a chance of flurries on Dec 28.

Malaysia's Najib loses legal bid to serve sentence under house arrest
KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) -A Malaysian court dismissed jailed former Prime Minister Najib Razak's legal bid to obtain a document that he said would allow him to serve his remaining prison sentence under house arrest. In a judicial review application filed on April 1, Najib said an "addendum order" issued by the former king had accompanied a pardons board's decision in February to halve his 12-year jail sentence for graft in the multibillion-dollar 1MDB scandal. Najib had sought for the court to compel the government to reply to or confirm the existence of the royal order, which he said would entitle him to serve the remainder of his term under house arrest, and to execute the order if it existed.
