that's all we've got time for but a reminder of our tops, that's all we've got time for but a reminder of ourtops, sergio that's all we've got time for but a reminder of our tops, sergio garcia has won the masters at augusta national —— top story. has won the masters at augusta national -- top story. it went to a play—off hole, he birdied it while justin rose picked up a birdie. danny willett, the winner from 2016, placing the greenjacket on garcia. he becomes the third spaniard behind seve ballesteros and jose—maria larrazabal to pick up the green jacket, his first win in 7a attempts at winning a major championship. —— jose—maria larrazabal. ——jose—maria 0lesen double. you can get all the latest sports news at our website, that's bbc.com/sport. but from me and the rest of the sport today team, goodbye. good morning. sunday was a glorious day for many of us, was it spring or summer? and really it was hard to tell because we had wall to wall sunshine throughout the day and in parts of eastern and south—eastern england, highs of 25 degrees, 77 fahrenheit. you can see the clear blue skies from sunday's satellite picture, a bit more cloud into the north—west
1:56 am
and that cloud thick enough to produce some rain, which died off and will continue to do so as this weather front sinks south but this weather front‘s important because as it pushes further south it produces north—westerly winds, a colder sort of air and that will bring a noticeable change to the story. we're losing the warm russets sunday as that north—westerly flow drags the cooler air across the country through the course of the day. so it's going to turn noticeably coolerfor all of us. as we start off the day then, temperatures will sit at around seven to nine degrees, so not too bad, that frontal system bringing quite a lot of cloud but up into the north—west, some of the showers will be wintry to the tops of the hills and mountains believe it or not, and as we go through the day we run the risk of a few showers in scotland and one or two cropping up in the north—east of england. i suspect by the middle of the afternoon it should be a better afternoon in south—west england and wales where we had a bit of cloud yesterday, but temperatures
1:57 am
at around ten or 13. we could see temperatures down a good 8—10 degrees in comparison to sunday's weather in the south—east with a risk of a few showers in parts of lincolnshire and east yorkshire. heading up into scotland, yes, the risk of a few showers here but also some lengthy spells of sunshine. by the end of the afternoon, though, cloud and more organised rain starts to gather into the western isles and this will be a weather front toppling over that high pressure and it will start to push into the far north of scotland. high pressure really just exerting its influence still, across england and wales, here things will stay relatively quiet. chilly start to tuesday morning, a touch of frost in more sheltered prone spots, but clearer skies will lead to more good spells of sunshine. breezy into the far north and showery outbreaks of rain continuing here as well. as we move into wednesday, we see more of a stronger north—westerly wind starting to pick up, gales not out of the question but again the best of the drier weather will always be further south but a fair amount of cloud around i suspect on wednesday
1:58 am
and on exposed coasts it will feel that little bit colder. little change on thursday. what's in store for the easter weekend? the dry theme's set to continue, sunshine and a few isolated showers but that cool wind set to stay with us. welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to our viewers in north america and around the globe. my name is tom donkin. our top stories: a state of emergency is declared in egypt after two bomb attacks on coptic christians leave more than a0 dead. as a us navy strike force heads toward the korean peninsula, president trump will review options for removing the "threat" posed by north korean missiles. thousands gather in central stockholm for a vigil to remember the victims of friday's deadly lorry attack. and glory in augusta. spain's sergio garcia finally wins the masters and his first golf major.
