compromise or an election. the absolute priority at the moment is to end this chaos that this government has brought us to by their endlessly running down the clock and basically bullying and threatening people. the bullying hasn't worked, the threats hasn't worked. it has been a distant start to the it's time now for the sensible weekend across much of england and people to take over. let us pray for our parliament. wales. buts of sunshine. —— a lot of let us pray for union. sunshine barely a cloud in the sky earlier on much of us. warm in that and let us pray for peace. spring sunshine. the warmest place the church of england arranged prayers for unity today but less than two weeks before the new date in the country, queuing, north on which we are due to leave, london. the wind of change is division is entrenched. blowing. as temperatures in the capital dropping by nine celsius. some want to walk away with no deal. others are resisting. the cooler weather is brought about parliament is at by this cold front, already been a crucial crossroads. pushing southwards, bringing that alex forsyth, bbc news. colder air into northern ireland and scotland. as we go through this evening and overnight, that weather anti—brexit campaigners have held protests at six different front is going to continue to push points of the border between northern ireland southwards. little bit of rain, and ireland, fearing a return cloud working on two wales, east of customs checks could risk peace, anglia, may be south east of england jobs and their way of life. the group setup a fake border check towards the night. the cloud stopping things from getting too point to demonstrate cold for much of england and will. the disruption they could cause

humanitarian organisation in the capital is his visit next, also a mass that will be attended by around 10,000 people. the pulse of just the pulse ofjust closed —— the polls have just closed across slovakia in the second round of the country's presidential election. front runner zuzana caputova is facing off with european union commissioner maros sefcovic. ms caputova is a lawyer and anti—corru ption activist with almost no political experience, and if elected will be the first female slovak president. joining me now is rob cameron who's in bratisalva for us. is there any more clarity? there is indeed. we havejust had the first opinion polls, released shortly after the polling booths closed at 10pm this evening. they suggest that zuzana caputova is indeed on course to become

slovakia's first female president. these opinion polls are not exit polls, i should stress that, they are opinion polls carried out in the last few days and released just minutes ago. they suggest that she has defeated the challenger, european commissioner, one of the six vice president of the commission, by a margin ofaround president of the commission, by a margin of around 55—45, perhaps a 60-40%. now, margin of around 55—45, perhaps a 60—40%. now, we will not know a more precise picture until the first results start coming on in the course of the evening. but it does look like, and feels like, here at the headquarters of her election campaign in bratislava's old market hall, that she is on course for victory this evening. taylor is a bit more about how significant her potential victory will be. —— tell us a bit more. well, zuzana ca putova —— tell us a bit more. well, zuzana caputova has offered, if nothing else, change. she has sensed, as a political outsider, someone with almost no political experience, that

the emergence of anger over the last few years has darkened. that really came to the four year ago with the murder of the investigative journalist. she says that was one of the impulses that led her to pursue a career in politics, and here she is just over a career in politics, and here she isjust over one year a career in politics, and here she is just over one year later said to become president. there is a lot of disgust, revulsion, really, in slova k disgust, revulsion, really, in slovak society, especially among younger, more urban, pro—eu voters at the course that this country has taken. a country that has seen corruption and crime reach proportions that she has described asa proportions that she has described as a kind of state capture. although it is a ceremonial position, she really wa nts it is a ceremonial position, she really wants to put an end to that and said slovakia on a new, different course. and how might this influence the politics of the region? where we are seeing more of a shift to write in countries like hungary and poland. -- is countries like hungary and poland. —— is shift to the right. it will be

seized upon by regional analysts and by the media, not only in this country but, as you say, across the region. in the czech republic, hungary, poland. it will be seized upon as proof that this idea that the wave of populism and conservative nationalism that we have seen in countries across the region is not unstoppable, and with the right candidates it can be turned back. certainly, the interpretation that some analysts are going to suggest that that is what is happened here in slovakia. but zuzana caputova, if she has won this evening, we do not know that she has, has her work cut out. slovakia is a deeply divided country, suffering from many of the same ills as countries throughout the region. it is herjob to begin healing those divisions. interesting times in slovakia. an egyptian security court has sentenced 18 men to life imprisonment for planning a suicide bombing on a coptic church
