moves across the uk so i think front moves across the uk so i think already very early in the morning, it will be thoroughly wet across many south—western parts of the uk. dry weather still at this stage in scotland and the east of the country, but this weather front very quickly moves towards the north and then behind it, we will see that really unstable atmosphere with big shower clouds forming in mind. it will be a day of widespread showers which are going to be very difficult to predict. now, by their nature, showers are not necessarily unpredictable, butjust very erratic so we can forecast where they will occur, but they will change from hour to hour so if you are checking your app and it changes a lot in showery weather, that is what it is supposed to do, constantly updating and giving you the latest information. you can see those showers across the uk. not a distinct and coherent band of rain, but pockets of downpours. this weather will continue into sunday

and you can see temperatures, disappointing for the time of year, 12-14 disappointing for the time of year, 12—14 and probably showers lasting into monday and tuesday. i can tell you at this stage, there is no sign of any warmer weather heading our way. 0h, way. oh, dear, thank you. a reminder of our top story: the prime minister says the new engine variant of coronavirus could make it more difficult to move to the final stage of relaxing restrictions in england injune. that is it, goodbye from me, and we join the news team is where you are, goodbye.

after manchester united's loss to leicester this week and said success shouldn't be taken for granted. altogether we came in, and when working our bubble, like everyone is safe, and, yeah, we remember how good it was, especially at 11:30 a:m., 12, we got pizzas and it was the best moment of the necklace to every season, it has the feeling it is more difficult, the feeling that comparing the first year we arrived, the players are stronger, the managers are stronger. every year, united is strongerfrom managers are stronger. every year, united is stronger from a liver but will be back, chelsea —— liverpool will be back, chelsea —— liverpool will be back, chelsea —— liverpool will be back. leicester every season, arsenal, with the trust mikel arteta, they will take a step forward next season. many clubs, thatis forward next season. many clubs, that is why this is a massive achievement. these are massive
