�* watcher watcher in �*watcher in nettinghamshire. weather watcher in nottinghamshire. we have even got some daffodils coming through very early as well. the rest of the day stays dry for most of us with good sunny spells around and temperatures will be above the seasonal norm. it is tony abbott milky as we are seeing some hazy, higher cloud pushing in from the west. but we will still see sunshine through the afternoon, the best in england and wales. most places will be dry. a bit of a breeze in northern ireland and western scotland with a couple of showers from the atlantic. but those temperatures well above what it should be at this time of year, 11 to 14. this front spreads across scotland and northern england and it turns drier for a scotland and northern england and it turns drierfor a bit and the scotland and northern england and it turns drier for a bit and the wind picks up and the cloud picks up in western areas and this active weather front starts to push into the north—west of the uk by the end of the night. but clear skies in the east of england and the south—east

1:32 pm
sunny spells. again with that low pressure it is much milder, ii to 13 or 14 degrees. but like i mentioned, the mild air does not last as we push into the end of the week and their weekend and it opens the floodgates for more arctic air. not turning very cold, but cooler than it has been of late. it will remain quite windy with showers and longer spells of rain and the temperatures drop, especially in northern areas. some showers have a wintry element to them. thanks, stav. and that's bbc news at one. you can keep up with all the latest developments on the bbc website. now its time to join our colleagues for the news where you are, goodbye. we have today reinforced our resources searching for that little boy. we have been able to secure additional support from colleagues in local regions hello and welcome to sportsday. i'm gavin ramjaun.

1:43 pm
way after a child fell into the river sore in leicester. police say the two—year—old boy was with his family when he fell into the water on sunday afternoon. emergency services, including water rescue teams, arrrived just after 5.00pm but couldn't find him. assistant chief constable michaela kerr from leceistershire police gave this update in the last hour. we have today reinforced our resources searching for that little boy. we have been able to secure additional support from colleagues in local regions and from national police resources. we are using specialist divers within the river sore and we continue to use a helicopter and aerial technology to try and locate the little boy. 0ur priority for leicestershire police is to make sure that we find this little boy. i would like to thank members of the
1:44 pm
public for all their support yesterday, but at the same time i would like to really emphasise how dangerous this area is at the moment and ask that members of the public to refrain from coming back to this location for their own safety and also because we have a very professional, very coordinated searching place and we wouldn't want anything to jeopardise the best opportunity we've got of locating this little boy. heathrow airport is aiming to have new security scanners in all terminals by summer. that will end the restrictions on liquids in hand luggage. there was a deadline to bring in the technology by 2022, but the date was then moved tojune of this year. it means the days of putting toiletries into see—through plastic bags could soon be over. we've been talking this morning about new government guidance that's been issued to headteachers in england, aimed at stopping children from using mobile phones in schools. although the advice has been welcomed by some, there are questions over how much
1:45 pm
of a difference the guidance will actually make. the education minister, gillian keegan, shared her thoughts on the new guidance. i think, to be honest, that this will be successful because where it has been successful you can see, and many people say, the improvement in behaviour, the improvement in performance, the improvement in the whole school culture is really tangible. so i think many, many head teachers want to do this and this helps empower them to do it. and we're not the first country in the world. other countries have done this, as well. but what we want to do is be consistent and ensure consistency across our schools and reset that social norm. but geoff barton from the association of school and college leaders said the government should be focusing on other, more urgent, situations facing schools. i think there is a little bit of a sense of deja vu all over again, of a government that wants to seem like it's saying something powerful but largely if it wants to say something powerful,
1:46 pm
could they do it on the things that matter?
