that he wasn't sure they could take, now he thinks that they can. north devon, south devon, tor bay, taunton, wales and the mendip hills, dorset and poole and some seats in the cotswolds. some of those seats are quite far down the list that the lib dems feel that they can take. they now believe that they can. thank you, mike tom. you can see a full list of the other constituency on the bbc news website. they are on your screen now. the small chance of a few showers around today but, generally speaking, it's largely dry. we started off with some brightness and some sunshine, especially across northern england, but those sunny skies will be in rather short supply this afternoon. there is going to be a lot more cloud developing and it will be feeling cooler than it was yesterday

with more of a north—westerly wind blowing. it's quite a cool wind direction and the cooling trend will continue into next week. yesterday's front that was across the south—east of england this morning is clearing away this afternoon, taking any showers with it, so drying out here. there will be a lot of cloud and it will brighten up quite nicely across south—west england. a few isolated showers across the midlands and towards north—east england in particular. patchy rain for north—west scotland. otherwise dry. plenty of cloud around, that will tend to melt away again towards the end of the day, but temperatures disappointingly low for the time of year, just 15 to 21 celsius. overnight tonight there will be plenty of clear skies around. the cloud will break up. in the clear skies temperatures could drop back into high single figures. there is a weather front approaching from the west that will bring rain into north—west scotland, northern ireland, down through western wales into tomorrow morning. tomorrow that rain is going to push its way further eastwards. it's quite a narrow band of rain really, lots of cloud with it,

but some early brightness for eastern areas and some late brightness out towards the west. the rain light and patchy towards the south, but it could possibly interrupt play towards the end of the day — the first day of wimbledon, of course, tomorrow. m to 21 celsius. again, it's slightly cool feeling for the time of year and the wind will pick up at times. it is still coming in from the north—west, of course. there goes that front. on tuesday, high pressure starts to build in from the south—west, from the azores, so tuesday is looking like a drier day. there will still be a few showers around. some of those showers out towards north—west scotland, north—west england just gradually sinking southwards and eastwards, but largely dry. the best of the brightness and sunshine probably for south wales and across south—west england too. temperatures again a little low for the time of year and that's where they remain as we head through much of the rest of the week, so no real warmth in store. it's not going to be raining all the time, but it is looking quite unsettled, wet and unseasonably windy on wednesday into thursday. bye— bye.

live from london, this is bbc news. police in tenerife confirm that the search for missing british teenagerjay slater has been called off after nearly two weeks. the uk prime minister has been speaking to the bbc, defending ilt years of conservative rule ahead of this week's election. of course it's been difficult, but we are now on the right track with the prospect of more tax cuts to come to give people more financial security. and that is the key choice for people at this election, building on the progress that we have made. meanwhile labour says the country isn't going back to freedom of movement with the eu if they're elected.
