bit to the ether bit to the other side cloud is a bit to the other side of the mountains so we could see some decent breaks, lengthy breaks of sunshine over northern scotland, in north wales and some around the pennines and temperatures to be around 16 degrees but if you are stuck underneath the grey sky with little wind to push it around, it feels pretty chilly despite the fact we call it a relatively mild air mass. air mass is the body of atmosphere that drifts. 1a degrees is the typical temperature and this is the typical temperature and this is what we will get in the next few days. very little change, so if you're tracking your apps, you will not spot much difference from day to day. actor clive. thanks, tomasz. that's it from washington before we join our colleagues for the news where you are but here are some highlights from the election campaign. have a very good night. more border patrol and more asylum officers. president trump? i really don't know what he said at the end of that sentence. i don't think he knows

what he said either. i've decided the best way forward is to pass the torch to a new generation. i accept your nomination. gunshots. get down, get down! # i'm proud to be an american.# people start leaving his rallies - early out of exhaustion and boredom. in springfield, they're eating the dogs, the people that came in. we can fix every single problem our country faces and lead america, indeed the world. would you have done something differently than president biden? there is not a thingl that comes to mind. there's literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean. i think it's called puerto rico. the only garbage i see floating out there is his supporters. are we ready to do this? get out and vote.

and we once welcoming our viewers in the uk here on election night and we are reporting of course from the swing state of wisconsin i went to bring back in our political former republican response —— republican party chair and former wisconsin democrat public party chair. let's start with you, martha, final thoughts here and now we are moments away from the polls closing in the state, it has been a campaign like no other, how have you viewed this as someone who's obviously been in the ka political game for a long time. it the ka political game for a long time. . , , the ka political game for a long time. , ., ~ the ka political game for a long time. .,, , ., ~ ., time. it has been a campaign like no other. time. it has been a campaign like no other- there — time. it has been a campaign like no other. there is _ time. it has been a campaign like no other. there is more at _ time. it has been a campaign like no other. there is more at stake - time. it has been a campaign like no other. there is more at stake here l other. there is more at stake here than who was just going to lead our country, it's our democracy. there have been such threats. today there have been such threats. today there have been such threats. today there

have been bomb threats in georgia at our polling locations so it is, has been really grueling. a lot of mental health issues, dealing with all of this. but what we are all hoping for his people come out of here with the leadership and people turn the page and will come together and kamala harris and tim walz will represent all of the people and we hope that there will be healing in the country to bring people back together. the country to bring people back touether. �* ., ., ., ., together. brandon, another political veteran and — together. brandon, another political veteran and you _ together. brandon, another political veteran and you have _ together. brandon, another political veteran and you have seen - together. brandon, another political veteran and you have seen your- together. brandon, another political veteran and you have seen your fair| veteran and you have seen your fair share of campaigns, what do you make of this one, has been unprecedented for you? of this one, has been unprecedented for w? , of this one, has been unprecedented for ou?~ ,, ~ of this one, has been unprecedented for ou? , ~ ._ of this one, has been unprecedented for ou? , ~ ., for you? wisconsin like many other arts of for you? wisconsin like many other parts of the — for you? wisconsin like many other parts of the country _ for you? wisconsin like many other parts of the country is _ for you? wisconsin like many other parts of the country is really - parts of the country is really polarised, wisconsin is a 50—50 state _ polarised, wisconsin is a 50—50 state no — polarised, wisconsin is a 50—50 state no matter how you cut it, half are democrats and half republican said there — are democrats and half republican said there is not much left in the middle _ said there is not much left in the middle like they used to be when marker_ middle like they used to be when marker and i middle like they used to be when markerand i were middle like they used to be when marker and i were engaged middle like they used to be when markerand i were engaged in middle like they used to be when marker and i were engaged in party politics— marker and i were engaged in party politics there was a group in the middle — politics there was a group in the middle but now we are very partisan and polarised. i don't know whoever wins this_ and polarised. i don't know whoever wins this election, whether or not they will— wins this election, whether or not they will bring the country together or if this _ they will bring the country together or if this polarisation continues through— or if this polarisation continues through the next couple of years until people finally figure out

whether i work from them or not. let's _ whether i work from them or not. let's expand things out now. there were several crucial states besides wisconsin, do you think we may get some clues here as the polls on the east coast begin to close, specifically looking at maybe states like georgia or north carolina? absolutely. if the democrats do well in georgia and north carolina that is a telling sign for us. we need to do really well in michigan and tonight we should have some good results by about 11pm there. pennsylvania is the one we will all watch closely, there are a lot of electoral votes there and that is something that will not probably get the site but tonight, maybe later this week. so there is a lot of things to be watching, but again this is a neck and neck race of people all be watching every little piece to see where it is flowing. $5 piece to see where it is flowing. as you go home and watch the results coming in obviously on bbc news, what will you be watching for as we see those polls close in a matter of

minutes or hours here? hate see those polls close in a matter of minutes or hours here?— minutes or hours here? we did talk about turnout. _ minutes or hours here? we did talk about turnout. so _ minutes or hours here? we did talk about turnout. so we _ minutes or hours here? we did talk about turnout. so we will _ minutes or hours here? we did talk about turnout. so we will look at i about turnout. so we will look at certain _ about turnout. so we will look at certain counties that have high turnout — certain counties that have high turnout but the other thing we have in the _ turnout but the other thing we have in the selection that we have not had in _ in the selection that we have not had in past — in the selection that we have not had in past elections is this really early— had in past elections is this really early voting, this absentee voting and early— early voting, this absentee voting and early voting so as martha talks what we _ and early voting so as martha talks what we will see results in cystic wisconsin — what we will see results in cystic wisconsin and michigan and a few others _ wisconsin and michigan and a few others that don't start counting untit— others that don't start counting until the — others that don't start counting until the polls are closed, some states— until the polls are closed, some states are — until the polls are closed, some states are able to start this morning _ states are able to start this morning so you will see a push until tomorrow— morning so you will see a push until tomorrow to— morning so you will see a push until tomorrow to maybe see where we are in wisconsin _ tomorrow to maybe see where we are in wisconsin some of these other states, _ in wisconsin some of these other states, but— in wisconsin some of these other states, but i think we are all expecting to see massive turn around the country— expecting to see massive turn around the country and all of the states that it _ the country and all of the states that it and — the country and all of the states that it and target by the democrats and vice _ that it and target by the democrats and vice president harris and republicans with trumpet and this will be _ republicans with trumpet and this will be one of the most engaged elections — will be one of the most engaged elections we are ever going to see. iwiii— elections we are ever going to see. iwiii put _ elections we are ever going to see. i will put you both on the spot, i said i would not, but i think a lot of people you know you have a corner out of your parking saying this was a coin flip is that how you see this or do you want to venture to make a prediction? every day because it is so close you decide where it is flowing and i believe president

harris will be elected by the end of the week and i believe because of the week and i believe because of the energy and momentum ifeels more like the 2008 obama years and i'm hoping those voters will come out strong and it will be president—elect harris. strong and it will be president-elect harris. �* ., ., ., president-elect harris. brandon, are ou president-elect harris. brandon, are you reaching — president-elect harris. brandon, are you reaching for _ president-elect harris. brandon, are you reaching for that _ president-elect harris. brandon, are you reaching for that or _ president-elect harris. brandon, are you reaching for that or are - president-elect harris. brandon, are you reaching for that or are you - you reaching for that or are you feeling a better about it? i you reaching for that or are you feeling a better about it? i don't think we've _ feeling a better about it? i don't think we've ever _ feeling a better about it? i don't think we've ever seen _ feeling a better about it? i don't think we've ever seen in - feeling a better about it? i don't| think we've ever seen in election this close — think we've ever seen in election this close. we are talking not 1%, but a _ this close. we are talking not 1%, but a percent or .2% that separates the candidates both at the presidential level and the us senate level and _ presidential level and the us senate level and even down ballot. get out your favourite shiny quarter and flip your favourite shiny quarter and flip it _ your favourite shiny quarter and flip it because while you might see great _ flip it because while you might see great enthusiasm here around madison and surrounding counties that may be different _ and surrounding counties that may be different or _ and surrounding counties that may be different or —— in green bay or in the rest— different or —— in green bay or in the rest of— different or —— in green bay or in the rest of the state so it is still a coin— the rest of the state so it is still a coin toss~ _ the rest of the state so it is still a coin toss. it the rest of the state so it is still a coin toss— a coin toss. it is one of the elections _ a coin toss. it is one of the elections that _ a coin toss. it is one of the elections that we - a coin toss. it is one of the elections that we have - a coin toss. it is one of the i elections that we have really a coin toss. it is one of the - elections that we have really not seenin elections that we have really not seen in decades, incredibly tight here in wisconsin and across the country and a live look now at washington, dc and the white house, thatis washington, dc and the white house, that is the big prize tonight, we

are expecting those polls to be closing, republicans, democrats giving their votes income americans across the country waiting to see who will be the next occupant of the white house here on election night. for we arejust we are just minutes away from the first results in a historically close election. after months of campaigning across the country, it is the final countdown to knowing who will lead the united states for the next four years. it is an election night matchup that seemed unlikelyjust months ago. now it comes down to vice president kamala harris and former president donald trump. the bbc is in the heart of the action. i'm sarah smith at washington, dc where we will be watching the results coming. i'm gary o'donoghue with the truck campaign in florida, where the former president will be expecting these results to deliver him a historic return to the white house.
