lyse doucet will be in jerusalem life for us in just a few minutes, so do stay with us here on bbc news as well. we've lost the showers that were affecting eastern areas of england this morning. so it's drier here with that sunshine coming through, showers drifting their way into parts of wales, south west england, north west england, western scotland and northern ireland. one or two of those can be blustery, perhaps a bit heavy from time to time. but even here, there'll be a bit of sunshine breaking through and maximum temperatures getting up to about 9 to 13 degrees celsius. of course, it's bonfire night. you may be heading out this evening and there'll be clear skies across many areas. but you'll notice that we still have these showers across western areas of the uk. so you may get a little bit wet if you're in the west. it will turn quite chilly as well. so keep the gloves, the hats, scarves and the thick coats handy. clear spells for many. and if you're after something a bit more natural for your light display in the sky tonight, well, the aurora was spotted last night across many
