immigration, these are the two top issues that are on voters minds here in california and in some of the other states that we visited before coming here. i think it really shows us, if you look at some of the axa pulling down there that there is a broad dissatisfaction with the president, joe biden particularly on these two issues. we spoke to some young voters who felt disaffected, they felt that they didn't want to vote because the parties they believe are not listening to them and are not inspired by either candidate selection so, a lot of the topics and themes away hearing here reflect a lot of the results you are saying and those states that have already been calls.- and those states that have already been calls. you've also been discussing _ already been calls. you've also been discussing the _ already been calls. you've also been discussing the impact - already been calls. you've also | been discussing the impact that joe biden has handling on the situation in the middle east with israel and gaza, the impact that they may have on voters, is there a sense of thatis voters, is there a sense of that is an issue concerning voters in california?- voters in california? yes, interesting _ voters in california? yes, interesting that - voters in california? yes, interesting that you - voters in california? yes, interesting that you say l voters in california? yes, - interesting that you say that, we did have the opportunity to speak to a few voters today who said they are frustrated with

the focus on foreign wars so our producer spoke to one voters and it is precisely this issue of spending money on the war in ukraine that they see as a frustration as for israel and gaza, a bigger issue that's frustrated with the biden administration handling the war, the biden administration support israel until now but coming back to the main issues of the economy and immigration, when we asked about the engagement with israel and with the war in ukraine, the topic always shifted back on how much money should be spent in the us instead. that is the lens on which they are looking at the us foreign policy really comes back to how they feel it impacted here at home. find back to how they feel it impacted here at home. and the other issue _ impacted here at home. and the other issue of _ impacted here at home. and the other issue of course _ impacted here at home. and the other issue of course it's - other issue of course it's turning out in the balls with abortion, immigration and foreign policy is abortion and productive rights, is that something that's been discussed in california? i

something that's been discussed in california?— in california? i found a remarkable _ in california? i found a remarkable that - in california? i found a i remarkable that another in california? i found a - remarkable that another voters we spoke to until now have put up we spoke to until now have put up abortion as an issue for them, it's issue that we are seeing something that is more prominent among women and some of the younger women did not mention at all, it is interesting to note that in arizona where we just work, we are speaking to tina and tina voters, some of the committee are more traditional, conservative and one gentleman did say to us that it is something that will impact vote as a catholic, conservative latino but all in all, we did not share the were abortion or deductive rights anywhere along the campaign trail as we have been visiting the state and that something that is quite remarkable and especially when not only president biden and his campaign but also the california governor has made that with the president's side that with the president's side that doesn't seem like it's a main topic here now for voters just yet. 0k, we'll chat you later in the night.

here, very early days. 72% for donald trump, nikki haley there. with i9% but we will be taking a lot of areas like dallas, areas like houston and they will start to give an indication with open voters and so on, the real strength of donald trump support and waiting for massachusetts, we can see some data coming in and it would take a look at this, bristol, nikki haley there with 49%, donald trump with 45%, very early days but this was an area where nikki haley, if she was going to perform better than the polls were suggesting, this might be it and will be watching areas like essex, middlesex, cambridge there, the college—educated voters and boston which you can find in suffolk as well so still very early days but we can see overall, nikki haley there with 49%, donald trump taking 45%.

years of his administration more than many presidents have into terms. and so, we need to make sure that we are touting the accomplishments again whether it is through the infrastructure investments, ra cq u et infrastructure investments, racquet investments in addressing climate change, working to lower cost, working to addressed student loan debt, the challenge we see this cycle, more than any other cycle, more than any other cycle is that voters get their information from a wide variety of sources. and so we need to make sure that we are meeting voters where they are, more aggressively than ever done before whether that be on social media, whether that be in communities, on tv, online, we may voters where they are to talk about what the biden — harris administration and houston democrats have done and notjust houston democrats have done and not just express that they will know or see a tv commercial or see a speech on television and know so we will be very

aggressive, we have seen earlier investments, particularly in blood communication and black communities and how we are starting to see rolling out women for biden, we are going to make these investments in a wide variety of communication media to reach voters where they are and when voters here, what the president and vice president have done and what they plan to continue to do, they plan to continue to do, they will come out and vote. just one last question, your own state of virginia, one of those voting today, joe biden carrying that, how do you expect virginia to play out across the year? do you think it will be a battleground or how do you see are going? t how do you see are going? i think virginia will be a critically important state for the president's re—election and his plan investment in the state will show that, virginia really is a probable state, a lot of people assume that we are blue but we are purple and

i think it is a microcosm of the country and i do think the president is going to invest in the state, there are two members of the biden — harris council, myself and one of them who live in virginia, represent virginia and i think they are going to make sure they are not taking virginia for granted. 0k, thank you indeed for joining us, we will be hearing from the trump campaign in the next hour. on monday, the us supreme court struck down efforts by individual states to disqualify donald trump from running for president. the unanimous ruling is specific to colorado, but also overrides challenges brought in other states. in an unprecedented move, colorado was the first state to bar mrtrumpfrom its republican primary, arguing he incited the 2021 capitol riot, and that this violated an anti—insurrection clause in the us constitution. however, the supreme court ruled that only congress has the power to remove a presidential candidate from ballots. the three states that had blocked trump from ballots were colorado,

illinois, and maine. this i'm joined live now by maine's secretary of state, democrat shenna bellows. she objected to mr trump's appearance on maine's ballots, before withdrawing that decision after monday's supreme court ruling. thank you forjoining us on bbc news. you obviously changed your mind after the ruling from the supreme court, had you anticipated that decision? thank you for having me, yes, of course, we prepare for any eventuality. paul workers are taking on the polling inside and tableting the vote. the representatives from both republican and democratic party and the votes from mr trump will be counted. d0 and the votes from mr trump will be counted.— will be counted. do you think as our will be counted. do you think as your decision _ will be counted. do you think as your decision had - will be counted. do you think as your decision had your - as your decision had your impact on voters there? t as your decision had your impact on voters there? i think that we were — impact on voters there? i think that we were very _ impact on voters there? i think that we were very clear - impact on voters there? i think that we were very clear with i that we were very clear with

separate criminal cases, his face to civil cases this year, donald trump for his part insist that this is all part of the witch—hunt designed to stop him from running for the white house, department ofjustice has said that that isn't not the case, they deny double what you will see is that it likely will have an impact on the campaign trail, it's been having an impact, if you take a look here at the key republican campaign dates and then trump's court date, you will see how they directly into sex so if we take a look at the beginning of the year, the deformation case, donald trump ordered to pay over 83 million us dollars to the writer and caucus races, primary races and the new york civil fraud trial and the vote in which donald trump was ordered to pay over 350 million us dollars to the state of new york and then super tuesday where we are today and around three weeks time, this is going to be a case to watch, the first criminal case against donald trump moving forward with regards to hush money

payments and then the classified files trial after that in florida, slated for may, pushed july, potentially be even later than that but it does come very close to the republican convention on the 15th ofjuly when the nominee will be picked and then the fifth of november, the either the will be on the us, us presidential election. the question is, where donald trump to be convicted of any of these charges do people think that it should impact his run for the white house and in fact, if you ask republican primary voters, this is according to new york times, the poorfrom december, 60% that they don't think that it should have an impact, yes, he should still be the nominee regardless of that so that goes to show quite how unprecedented this us election is shaping up to be. the projections are coming thick and fast. we have anotherfrom our partners at cbs. it projects that former president trump will win the republican primary in the state of tennessee.

we can tell you that in tennessee, democratic primary, the joe tennessee, democratic primary, thejoe biden is projected to win that one as well. t the joe biden is projected to win that one as well.- win that one as well. i will aet a win that one as well. i will get a quick— win that one as well. i will get a quick last _ win that one as well. i will get a quick last from i win that one as well. i will get a quick last from you, | get a quick last from you, they're looking at the legal issues that helena was outlining their, how big an impact as going to be through the rest of the year? ltp impact as going to be through the rest of the year?- the rest of the year? up until now, is the rest of the year? up until now. is no — the rest of the year? up until now, is no doubt _ the rest of the year? up until now, is no doubt that i the rest of the year? up until now, is no doubt that the i the rest of the year? up until i now, is no doubt that the legal issues have helped donald trump, that given him an opportunity to say to supporters that he is a victim of crooked justice, no evidence of crooked justice, no evidence of that but able to guide and say that and the question going forward will be which of these trials beyond the stormy daniels hush money goes to trial if any of them. somebody close to drum campaigner said to me they don't go ahead that would actually be negative for donald trump, that it will be of january 6 but it may not so

i think we don't know, i think it's high — it's a bit of what we were saying earlier, we learn in the primaries is not always what you a lot about the general election. [30 always what you a lot about the general election.— general election. do more to come, general election. do more to come. we — general election. do more to come, we will _ general election. do more to come, we will take _ general election. do more to come, we will take a - general election. do more to come, we will take a short i come, we will take a short break there. they are staying with us, hopefully you will too, stay with us on bbc news. hello there. we could see more sunshine around for wednesday than what we had on tuesday, particularly across eastern areas. so i think a brighter afternoon to come, but there will be some scattered showers around, especially across england and wales, and winds will generally stay quite light. we'll have high pressure anchored over scandinavia, low pressure out in the atlantic, trying to push this weather front ever closer towards our shores, but it could reach the west country as we move through the latter parts of this morning. elsewhere, we're starting off a lot of cloud across the east of the country. that will tend to melt away, though. it stays cloudy for eastern scotland, northeast england. some sunshine for east anglia and the southeast, a few showers into the afternoon, east wales and the midlands, and temperature wise up

to around 10—11 degrees, single digits along the north sea coasts, where we have the cloud and the breeze. now, as we head through wednesday night, it looks like it stays dry for many. the showers fade away. we start to see some cloud rolling into central and eastern areas, so where we have the cloud, more of a breeze, temperatures 2—5. under clearer skies further north and west, there could be a touch of frost. for thursday, then, we have low pressure anchored out towards the west and the southwest, that area of high pressure over scandinavia just edging a bit further westward, so influencing our weather more. could start to see an east, south—easterly wind picking up further, though, so quite a breezy day to come. plenty of sunshine around away from the east coast and there will be some afternoon showers again, particularly england and wales. probably the best of the sunshine, western scotland into northern ireland, western wales — top temperatures again, 11, maybe 12 degrees. into friday, you see more isobars on the charts. it's going to be windier, a strong east, south—easterly wind. that'll take the edge off the temperatures, push in some cloud to northern and eastern areas, particularly

the northern half of the country. england and wales could at this stage see quite a bit of sunshine, but there'll always be showers loitering close to the southwest. and a windy day to come for all — gusty winds, particularly windy across the south and the east thanks to that south—easterly wind. so, chillier along eastern coastal areas, up to around 11 or 12 further west. into the weekend, low pressure loiters to the southwest of the country, trying to push its way northwards, so it will introduce further showers or even longer spells of rain for southern and western areas. we could start to see a few showers developing further north and east as well. it will remain quite windy, with our wind coming in from the east or the southeast. that's it for me. take care.

live from washington. welcome to bbc news special coverage of super tuesday. voters across the country are casting ballots for their choice for the republican and democrat presidential nominee. joe biden and donald trump have both had early wins. hello, i'm caitriona perry. welcome back to our special coverage of super tuesday. it's a big night on the election calender with 15 states casting ballots. the polls have just closed in arkansas, where a total

of 40 republican delegates are up for grabs tonight. and we already have a number of results. frontrunners, former president donald trump and incumbent presidentjoe biden havejust pulled off theirfirst wins in virginia, north carolina, oklahoma and tennessee. mr biden is also projected to win the state of vermont. joining me live is gary o'donoghue. he is in downtown richmond, virginia. what can you tell us about what the voters in virginia have decided?— the voters in virginia have decided? ., , , , ., �* decided? no surprise, i don't think. nikki _ decided? no surprise, i don't think. nikki haley— decided? no surprise, i don't think. nikki haley had i decided? no surprise, i don't think. nikki haley had some i think. nikki haley had some hopes in virginia, i don't think there was ever a chance of her winning but because they have a strange system here where there is no party registration, they sensed someone sentencing the race, donald trump has one, but you

will see what emerges up and if he can get over the 50% mark, he can get over the 50% mark, he could take all delegates and thatis he could take all delegates and that is able often replicated across the country. he could win very big tonight and we are seeing some of these other winds replicated, north carolina, oklahoma, other places. vermont was one of the places. vermont was one of the places where it is quirky, nikki haley may have done something there but it doesn't look like that was going her way. is it going to be a clean sweep across the 15 states? it is certainly not impossible. what was motivating the voters today? what was motivating the voters toda ? , ., , ., , today? the enthusiasm was re today? the enthusiasm was pretty low _ today? the enthusiasm was pretty low today. _ today? the enthusiasm was pretty low today. that i today? the enthusiasm was pretty low today. that was i pretty low today. that was reflected in the numbers at the polling station i was at. also

just talk to people outside, there was no excitement. zero excitement. about what was on offer. people use phrases like, we wish there were other options, phrases like he is too old when talking aboutjoe biden. people mentioned the question of temperament about donald trump for the lack of enthusiasm reflected in the polls and nationally, seven out of ten voters not fancying the 2020 matchup all over again in 2024. given results we are seeing tonight, we're go to and that will turn up to be issues for both parties come november. the rest of us watching, could be a long campaign. {30 the rest of us watching, could

something a talking point here in colorado is in democratic contacts, there has been this protest vote againstjoe biden because voters have been given the option and about to go for a noncommitted option. if you are voting democrat. this protest vote againstjoe biden pretty much because of people �*s annoyance about his handling of the israel—gaza war. while it won't threaten to becoming the democratic nominee committee won't do that, it will put a dent in things for him and creating some unwanted headlines at a time when the democratic party ideally would want to be united heading towards cheap general election towards cheap general election to face donald trump. tote towards cheap general election to face donald trump.- towards cheap general election to face donald trump. we saw in michiran to face donald trump. we saw in michigan organised _ to face donald trump. we saw in michigan organised campaigns i michigan organised campaigns about that too get beyond committed box, is it as organised in colorado? has been very organised- _ organised in colorado? has been very organised. if _ organised in colorado? has been very organised. if you _ organised in colorado? has been very organised. if you are i very organised. if you are younger voter, very organised. if you are youngervoter, people younger voter, people progressive, there youngervoter, people progressive, there is an option

forjoe biden or urge the democratic party to consider something else against all odds and what they want to go and do this. i was speaking to a noncommitted voted today and thatisitis noncommitted voted today and that is it is going to hurt your chances overall? divided parties do not win elections but he was saying there are so many concerns from democrats aboutjoe biden over his age and perception, whether there is a second time him that he wanted to push the party in some way to consider another candidate. that still looks pretty unlikely to become reality. pretty unlikely to become reali . . reality. the big thing in colorado _ reality. the big thing in colorado has _ reality. the big thing in colorado has been i reality. the big thing inj colorado has been until yesterday when the supreme court ruled was the uncertainty as to whether, president donald trump would actually appear on the ballot paper at all. has that played into how people cast their votes today? there was this big _ cast their votes today? there was this big question - cast their votes today? there was this big question mark. cast their votes today? there i was this big question mark over whether donald trump would be allowed on the bowel adult in colorado, voters here will try to kick off but that was overturned by the supreme court

who said will be on the ballot after all. who said will be on the ballot afterall. it who said will be on the ballot after all. it was a real big surprise you voters and voters on both sides said we watch from font about because even if you are not a trumpet that will really despise trump and do not want to vote for him by not having him at the ballot all, it was not a fair contest. it was a pretty welcome ground that it would be a straightforward decision. and that he would be allowed on the ballot after all. it did bring up ballot after all. it did bring up a lot of debate on whether he had taken part in an interaction and all the legal battles behind that he is continuing to face.- battles behind that he is continuing to face. you either at university. _ continuing to face. you either at university, much _ continuing to face. you either at university, much concern i continuing to face. you either| at university, much concern in the democratic side of things about young people turning away from joe biden. what is the view of the students? what is concerning the more exciting them? —— them or. b, concerning the more exciting them? -- them or.— them? -- them or. a lot of mm: them? -- them or. a lot of young democratic - them? -- them or. a lot of young democratic voters i them? -- them or. a lot of i young democratic voters would want to see a different

candidate. that is why turnouts might be an issue around young people. they might still be the community democrats but are not that amused to go and vote. when you're in an election that is highly partisan, most people have voted in their minds already, there is a small sliver of people in the middle that might be genuine sweet —— swing voters. perhaps on the democratic side when you have people who don't feel that enthusiastic aboutjoe biden, that could affect turnout. that could give trump of the age. that is what is alleging to come down to, not several people who do not vote but how many people stay at home. tote many people stay at home. we will talk to _ many people stay at home. we will talk to you later in the night. thank you. as we've been discussing, the economy and specifically inflation is top of voters' minds tonight. in 2024, a stronger—than—expected gdp and low unemployment have economists more optimistic than they were this time last year. but, voters don't seem to share that same assessment. a recent poll from our us

partner cbs news found that 65% of americans remember the economy underformer president donald trump as being good. only 38% give president biden's economy that stamp of approval. this all comes as the economy grew three point 2% in the last quarter of 2023. and inflation has dropped significantly from the 40—year—peak hit in june of 2022. it's now around 3%. live now to bharat ramamurti, former deputy director of the national economic council under the biden administration, and tomas philipson, former acting chair of the council of economic advisers under the trump administration. if we stay with that issue of sentiment and feeling and how people perceive the economy is doing under president biden as opposed to trump, why do you

think there is that difference? the short answer is inflation. president biden, because he presided over a period of time we had global comic reopening from covid and russia's invasion of ukraine that calls all sorts of disruption to global markets, the united states suffered a period of high inflation. look at every other country in the world. that has taken a toll on incompetence across the world, not just incompetence across the world, notjust here in the united states. the good news is two things, number one, because the policy decisions president biden made, viewers had a strong economic recovery in almost every other country and outpaced inflation for many months in a row. as inflation precedes and continues under directory, i think first economics will continue to improve. economics will continue to improve-— economics will continue to improve. economics will continue to imrove. ~ , ., ~' economics will continue to imrove. ~ , ., ~ , improve. why do you think it is donald trump _ improve. why do you think it is donald trump is _ improve. why do you think it is donald trump is getting i improve. why do you think it is donald trump is getting above| donald trump is getting above on those figures in this way? t on those figures in this way? i think the biden administration is playing catch up. we have seen — is playing catch up. we have seen in _ is playing catch up. we have seen in the last two quarters has been _ seen in the last two quarters has been good for the trump

improving, people are not necessarily feeling back in their paychecks and wallet and how they can afford grocery shopping at the end of the week or the rent or mortgage payments. what could president biden do to improve that? t biden do to improve that? i want to take issue with biden do to improve that? t want to take issue with that because if you look at the data, wages have been outpaced inflation for several months now and if you look at the trajectory of wages over time, real wages are actually up relative to the beginning of the pandemic. wages are particularly helpful low income folks that have not got that kind of sustained wage growth in a long time. truth? kind of sustained wage growth in a long time.— in a long time. why do people re ort in a long time. why do people report feeling _ in a long time. why do people report feeling less _ in a long time. why do people report feeling less well i in a long time. why do people report feeling less well off? i | report feeling less well off? i think it is in product it weaver's division people stop reporting their financial condition which actually people feel good about their own economic condition according to some reports, but when it comes the country, there's been some negative views because the coverage has been enormously about inflation. the real key is over the next several months as inflation continues to decline and wages continue to

go decline and wages continue to 9° up, decline and wages continue to go up, the numbers going to shift in president biden �*s direction? i think everyone would have to admit this objectively, united states had scruggs recovery from covid and if you look at the recovery committee trump company division was presiding over, thejob growth in division was presiding over, the job growth in the three months before the budget and the decision over, if we can see the post, we would not have recovered for several years. and so because of the biden administration, recovered jobs and about yet a half. and it ordinarily strong recovery. people in the uk he would gladly switch places. d0 people in the uk he would gladly switch places. do you arree gladly switch places. do you agree with _ gladly switch places. do you agree with that? _ gladly switch places. do you agree with that? i _ gladly switch places. do you agree with that? i don't i gladly switch places. do you i agree with that? i don't think bein: agree with that? i don't think being less — agree with that? i don't think being less bad _ agree with that? i don't think being less bad is _ agree with that? i don't think being less bad is a _ agree with that? i don't think being less bad is a great i agree with that? i don't think being less bad is a great way| being less bad is a great way tojustify_ being less bad is a great way tojustify policies. a being less bad is a great way to justify policies. a lot of countries make the same mistake as us _ countries make the same mistake as us in _ countries make the same mistake as us in terms of enormous depth _ as us in terms of enormous depth -- _ as us in terms of enormous depth. —— debt. we can finance the new— depth. —— debt. we can finance the new spending under covid in three _ the new spending under covid in three ways, either tax people now—

we have a results projection to bring you from our partners at cbs news. they project that president biden will win the democratic primary in the state of massachusettes. with me is rodney davis, former republican congressman from illinois, stephanie murphy, former democratic congresswoman from florida, and the bbc�*s special correspondent katty kay. we have been talking about the economy and it, with correspondence as well in terms of what voters are reporting. this issue of affordability, housing and we touched on it earlier that the economy is doing well onjoe biden but people don't necessarily feel it is. it people don't necessarily feel it is. . . , . it is. it is really interesting situation. _ it is. it is really interesting situation. even _ it is. it is really interesting situation. even the - it is. it is really interesting situation. even the most i it is. it is really interesting - situation. even the most recent polls show people are starting to recognise the economy is getting better. yet they still remember under trump they were doing better off economically than they are with the biden administration. in almost all

polls, it is almost double digit voters trust trump more than they do biden on the economy. it is a steep hill to overcome before the general election. when people rolled to the polls, they vote based on pocketbook issues a lot of times. unless the biden campaign can kind of add just as sentiment, they are going to be in real trouble. as sentiment, they are going to be in realtrouble._ be in real trouble. how do they do that? how— be in real trouble. how do they do that? how do _ be in real trouble. how do they do that? how do they - be in real trouble. how do they do that? how do they adjust? l be in real trouble. how do they| do that? how do they adjust? it is hard because as you said, the actual facts belie the way people feel about it.- the actual facts belie the way people feel about it. what you think? we _ people feel about it. what you think? we have _ people feel about it. what you think? we have to _ people feel about it. what you think? we have to see - people feel about it. what you think? we have to see a - people feel about it. what you think? we have to see a cap . people feel about it. what you | think? we have to see a cap on interest rates. _ think? we have to see a cap on interest rates. most _ think? we have to see a cap on interest rates. most americansj interest rates. most americans are probably not affected by what — are probably not affected by what happens at the fed when it comes— what happens at the fed when it comes to — what happens at the fed when it comes to interest rates on homes — comes to interest rates on homes but it is something that affects — homes but it is something that affects them and affects their view — affects them and affects their view of — affects them and affects their view of what economic growth should — view of what economic growth should look like. stephanie eager— should look like. stephanie egger is right, the most americans felt they were better

let's take a look at where we stand when it comes to the delegates since the beginning of the evening. this is the beginning of the evening, donald trump picking up about over 100 and a0 delegates so far. contrast that you nikki haley who managed to pick up three delegates. an interesting fact for you, if nikki haley at her campaign wanted to stop donald trump from being able to wrap up denomination five march 12 when georgia goes to the polls, she would be needing to pick up something like 97 delegates this evening alone. you can see the scale of the task at hand. let's look at where we start to see some results stop oklahoma, 20% of all precincts counted but what is interesting in a crime as in 2020, was a picture like this as well. only one of two us states, all counties going for donald trump at the moment. we are seeing that trend continuing although still early days. has to be pointed out.

what update the latest results coming in. donald trump 82%, nikki haley 1a% going into this looking at polling, we received donald trump taking something like 77% of the votes although not all of those counted. let's checkin not all of those counted. let's check in with taxes again. texasis check in with taxes again. texas is the second biggest prize of the night of the us map. 161 delegates up for grabs and not surprisingly we see more and more counties going great and if you take a look at the urban areas where you might think nikki haley would have stood a bit more of a fighting chance, somewhere like dallas for example, she had not been able to breach the 30% mark just yet. what's come over and see where we are with alabama and see whether the ivf recent controversies have come out.

just a snapshot at this early stage as my results continue to come in. thanks for that. looking at a few of the results, what is your view of what you see? ads, results, what is your view of what you see?— results, what is your view of what you see? a lot of red and a lot of blue, _ what you see? a lot of red and a lot of blue, nikki _ what you see? a lot of red and a lot of blue, nikki haley - a lot of blue, nikki haley would have had to do better. interestingly, she wonderful tonight. galga south carolina come in charleston, we have not talked about what she is doing and there are no plans for her to address reported. for now maybe not plan to withdraw from the race. the question will then become does she endorse donald trump? does she not endorse donald trump? where does that leave supporters? if she does not endorse donald trump, is there more likely that the more supporters come in november? we feel they do not want to vote for trump. interesting to see what happens

elsewhere, we're starting off a lot of cloud across the east of the country. that will tend to melt away, though. it stays cloudy for eastern scotland, northeast england. some sunshine for east anglia and the southeast, a few showers into the afternoon, east wales and the midlands, and temperature wise up to around 10—11 degrees, single digits along the north sea coasts, where we have the cloud and the breeze. now, as we head through wednesday night, it looks like it stays dry for many. the showers fade away. we start to see some cloud rolling into central and eastern areas, so where we have the cloud, more of a breeze, temperatures 2—5. under clearer skies further north and west, there could be a touch of frost. for thursday, then, we have low pressure anchored out towards the west

and the southwest, that area of high pressure over scandinavia just edging a bit further westward, so influencing our weather more. could start to see an east, south—easterly wind picking up further, though, so quite a breezy day to come. plenty of sunshine around away from the east coast and there will be some afternoon showers again, particularly england and wales. probably the best of the sunshine,
