tomorrow the cloudy skies will be in south—west scotland, northern ireland, wales and south—west england for good friday and a few showers running into northern ireland especially as the afternoon goes on. for much of scotland, the rest of england, there will be some sunny spells, the chance of a shower. warmer tomorrow, 17 in glasgow, up to 20 in northern england. saturday does start with more cloud around. you could encounter some light rain in parts of scotland and northern england for a time. sunny spells coming through. look how close the rain gets to northern ireland and western scotland later in the day and that is the area of high pressure is losing the fight with the weather front by easter sunday and it looks as if —— it looks at least in western areas there is a greater chance of seeing rain on sunday but there is something to play for and how much of the uk is going to be affected by rain. perhaps pushing into the western side of england, it will also be windier and cooler, still some warm sunny spells continuing further east. this could move through across the uk as we g

beyond that, high—pressure will be moving in from the south—west, it may still allow weather system to skirt around it, at least to scotland with mainly some rain at times, but it has been dry in comparison. the high—pressure will keep things largely dry. before we get to that, this is the next five days, rainfall. there are some weather systems moving through and, yes, this is some rain, but the key here, pardon the pun, is this key — these numbers aren't on the wetter and of the scale, they are the drier and, and of the scale, they are the drierand, particularthese figuresjust drierand, particularthese figures just represented a splash of rain here and there, especially parts of england. no sign yet of that big transformation that we had last yearin transformation that we had last year in at the dry april to the wet may. this is bbc news. i'm rich preston. our top stories: missiles strike the ukrainian capital kyiv, just as the un secretary general is on a visit for talks with president zelensky. i was shocked to be informed that two rockets exploded in the city where i am, so th

ten to 1a celsius, 90 celsius in the south and west of the uk today. a few showers bubbling up away from that in the south—west. 0vernight tonight, most areas will keep the dry weather with clear skies. cloud thickens across northern scotland, few patches of mist and drizzle by the end of the night. temperatures three to seven celsius, similar to recent nights. a tomorrow, many will start the day with sunshine. through the morning, there will be cloud, in the afternoon, showers break out, mostly across central and eastern england, heavier in the south—east with heel mixed in. there is more cloud around, temperatures are lower, 10 degrees in northern scotland, 17 degrees in northern scotland, 17 degrees in northern scotland, 17 degrees in southern wales and south—west england where the warmest area is going to be. tuesday, the cloud i showed you will go down in the north sea and spread inland. again, a more cloudy day, and cooler air, nine celsius in aberdeen and newcastle, 16 celsius in the south and west. some pockets of warmth left over. the re

the good weather resulted in delays in south and south west england as motorists headed for the coast, or tried to travel via the port of dover. and there's major disruption on some rail lines because of bank holiday engineering works — there are no trains at all in or out of london's euston station. tim muffett has the latest. the long weekend. with queues to match. we are a little bit worried about traffic. that's why we came very early. it's easter weekend, the perfect storm, isn't it? exactly what you don't want it to be. in dover, just as holiday—makers are leaving, p&0 has suspended its ferry services. post—brexit lorry checks are also said to be adding to the challenge. it's the first bank holiday since all covid travel restrictions were lifted in the uk. the rac estimates more than 22 million carjourneys will take place this weekend. the message clearly is plan your trip well in advance, make sure your car is ready for a journey as well. in lots of cases, this is the first long—distance trip people have taken this year. at woolley edge services in west yorkshire, for m

south west england — it's misty, low cloud, but on through the day, notice how a lot of this disappears, it breaks up, we see the sunshine coming through. could stay rather cloudy in the northern isles, especially shetland, towards the coast of aberdeenshire, misty in places and some of the coasts around cornwall as well. it's a warmer—feeling today more widely across the uk with that sunshine. it's a sunnier day in northern ireland, too, though cloud increasing will start to bring some outbreaks of rain very slowly in from the west, as we go on through the night into easter sunday morning, also pushing into parts of western scotland, especially the western isles. elsewhere, one or two mist and fog patches, but a recently mild start to easter sunday. and there's a weather front trying to come in on sunday still to some degree being held at bay by this area of high pressure. so, while much of the uk will stay dry, we will see some outbreaks of rain covering more of northern ireland very slowly on through the day, and parts of western scotland, especially into the west isles. and then,

the wind will blow that towards wales and the south west of england. again with the sunshine and temperatures reaching 17 or 18 degrees. it will feel colder around some north sea coasts because we have a stronger easterly wind picking up during tomorrow. still have some high levels of tree pollen quite widely across the uk tomorrow. on friday and saturday at the levels may come down as the wind continues to strengthen. we end up essentially with lower pressure towards the bear biscay not far away from the south west of england for pressure to the north of the uk keeping those strong winds coming in from the east. friday is going to be a windy day again, and more cloud coming on as well which could be thick enough in england and wales for some drizzly showers. the best of the sunshine in western parts of scotland and northern ireland. it is also colder with temperatures around 12, 1a degrees. forthe with temperatures around 12, 1a degrees. for the weekend staying windy on saturday, again a lot of cloud and some showers around as well. the second half of

earlier i also spoke whith bbc south west political editor, martyn oates who led that exclusive interview. i think the big question mark over this episode of the last 2a hours has been what did he actually do? in the brief interview he gave yesterday, he referred to the viewing of the pornography as a mistake. when he expanded on that today, he said he had initially been apparently looking at a tractor site and had stumbled on the pornography, had watched some of that, but then, and this is clearly the crucial point, on another occasion in the commons chamber itself, he had quite deliberately revisited the same site. what intrigued me and identity at some length was his suggestion that yesterday he was going to attempt to carry on as an mp, his initial thought that he could contest this process, the investigation and somehow emerge unscathed and remain as an mp given that, by his own admission, really this was an open and shut case. he had really quite extraordinarily in the chamber of the house of commons viewed pornographic website. one of the points that stood out to me was this idea t

cloud in the north and east on the satellite picture with the best of the sunshine across wales and the south—west, where you have higher levels of pollen, tree pollen sufferers having those high levels to continue —— not content within the south and the west. plenty of sunshine, here, as well. to the north, more cloud across north yorkshire. the cloud is producing a few showers there. not numerous, but they are popping up and down across the pennines, into central and southern scotland, one or two in the south—east of northern ireland. they could pop up anywhere but you would be unlucky to catch more than one. cloud increasing across england and wales, with breaks a bit more in the north back temperatures several degrees down, it does feel chilly or certainly cooler if you are under the cloud and in the breeze. that breeze starts to come down from the north overnight dragging in more cloud, so limiting the foster across the north of scotland but elsewhere, like last night, it will be chilly again and we could have a touch of grass, certainly ground frost, but it means the best of the sunshi

still a bit of rain there potentially in the far south west of england to move away. elsewhere, though, a generally dry and sunny start. we'll see some cloud building up, particularly in england and wales, and there could be one or two isolated showers popping off, but generally it's dry. similar story for northern ireland — more sunshine in the south west of scotland, where it's a bit warmer, north—eastern parts of scotland cooler still with some of that low cloud. highest temperatures, southern england, south wales, 18—19 degrees. most of the wet weather on these weather system is getting steered to the south of the uk. high pressure is dominating, and it's centred all the way up there into greenland. now, we'll have lighter winds on monday. they're coming more from the north, so it'll be a bit cooler. and we'll find more clouds spreading out and increasing through the day. and the greater chance of catching one or two showers in england and wales. should be dry in scotland and northern ireland, cloudy in northern parts of scotland, and generally it's cooler o

the chance of a shower for the channel islands and one or two for the south—west of england. elsewhere it is looking dry. still some thick cloud sitting to the north of scotland. temperatures on sunday, highs of 16—18 c. a change for the beginning of the week, though. high pressure is not going anywhere, but it is drifting further west, so we will spring winds to a northerly direction after the easterly of the weekend, which taps us into arctic air. the field through the coming seven days will be increasingly chilly. temperatures are still with a bit of sunshine not too bad overall, just a shade down on where we would expect them to be for this time of the year. looking at four two in 15. a lot of dry weather through the weekend. this is bbc news — welcome if you're watching here in the uk or around the globe. our top stories. the ukrainian government urges the un to do more to help bring the estimated 100,000 people trapped inside the city of mariupol to safety. campaigning has ended in france's presidential election — as emmanuel macron and his far—right rival marin

so some wet weather for wales, south west england through sunday. some of that light and patchy rain and drizzle will drift its way eastwards. further north, it will be brightening up, the clouds. will tend to break up and we�*ll see some sunny spells, bar the odd shower around, so it will be a bit warm here, 16, maybe 17 degrees. a little bit cooler further south, low to mid teens. that area of low pressure clears away, so for bank holiday monday, it�*s looking a bit drier across the board. there will be quite a bit of cloud around here, one or two showers developing across northern and central areas but also some sunny spells. and where that happens, we will see temperatures reaching highs of around 18 degrees. further north, the low to mid teens. very little change as we move through the new week. it looks like pressure will remain high with very little wind, so again the air will be quite stagnant. we�*ll have variable amounts of cloud, a bit of sunshine, maybe one or two showers around, and possibly tuesday could see most of the showers t

it's actually going to be flirting with the south—west of the uk. but, elsewhere, actually, easter monday is looking pretty decent, bar the odd shower here and there. temperatures a little lower. it's because the winds are coming off the atlantic and, in fact, much lower across more northern areas — only around 12 celsius, for example, in glasgow. have a great weekend. you're watching bbc news with me, maryam moshiri. the headlines: hours after russia's flagship vessel sinks in the black sea, moscow threatens to increase its attacks near the outskirts of ukraine's capital. if you're watching this, it means we've surrendered. a british man fighting for ukraine is captured by russian forces. his family plead for his safety. i know he's alive. but i'm not sure if that is a comfort, because i don't know how he is being treated. almost 400 people have died in severe floods in kwazulu—natal, south africa after the deadliest storm in decades. more than 150 palestinians are injured in clashes with israeli police atjerusalem's holy site. and in cricket,
