saved by that man, fraser forster, in the saints goal. the point though is enough to see the reds move above manchester city into third. as always, there are a lot of explanations were not scoring. but football is like this. most the time, you do not score. scoring is rare. we could have used one. i think that would have been enough for today, so that is the situation. because we defended well. we could have had a better moment in the second half. but the rest of the game, we controlled it. in italy, roma kept alive their slim hopes of winning the serie a title with a win at milan. edin dzeko scored twice in a 4—1 win for roma, who trailjuventus by seven points — and both teams have three games to play. meanwhile, in rome, fourth—placed lazio won the highest—scoring game of the season, so far. ciro immobile scored twice as they beat io—man sampdoria 7—3 at the olympic stadium.

we may well have seen the peak of the temperature, though, over the weekend. it was pretty much wall—to—wall sunshine in northern ireland. and here we had the warmest day of the year so far. same temperatures in glasgow and we had the warm air all the way from wales towards the south coast. but these areas that had the warmth by day are getting the chill right now with the clearer skies, actually. and in rural parts, we may find temperatures not far away from freezing. in the towns and cities, this is what the temperatures look like. and further east, across england and scotland, there will be more cloud coming in off the north sea. essentially, an east—west split to the weather on monday. another lovely sunny day for northern ireland. best of the sunshine in scotland in the south—west. sunshine for wales and western england. but a cloudier day than yesterday across the midlands and south—east england. some sunshine, though, developing, at times, across scotland. some cloud filtering into northern and eastern areas and the north—east of england.

sunshine coming and going across the north—west of england. lovely day, again, in northern ireland — not quite as warm as yesterday. pleasant in the sunshine across wales and the south—west. a cooler, cloudier sort of look to the weather across the midlands, towards south—east england. a fair bit of cloud across yorkshire, lincolnshire and east anglia. well that cloud is coming in off the north sea around this area of high pressure which dominates weather across the week and stretches back to southern parts of greenland. the position of the high will be crucial, though. they may well be a bit more cloud around, come monday. still, not as much, not as much sunshine in western parts of england and wales. temperatures again typically into the mid—teens. we're not seeing 20 or 21 but it will feel warmer eastern scotland and as we lose the wind of the north sea. but if we lose the cloud overnight, the dawn on wednesday could be quite cold almost anywhere in the countryside. it will warm up quickly across england and wales, southern scotland, northern ireland in some sunshine. we may see afternoon highs of 19. a spot or two of rain on the weak weather front. our high pressure, though, is being squeezed well way

into europe, and the pressure is going to be falling from wednesday onwards, and that means the weather is going to start to change. for much of the week, it will remain dry. sunshine around. if we get clear skies, chilly at night. later in the week, the chance of some rain moving in northwards. hello i'm tom donkin, welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to our viewers in north america and around the globe. our top stories: a big win for emmanual macron — the 39—year—old centrist sweeps to victory in the french presidential election — promising to unite and to protect the people. translation: our task ahead is arduous that every time, i will tell you the truth. your server, your
