liz copper, bbc news, wolverhampton.l from sportsday. we'll have more throughout the evening. for now, goodbye. well, the weather's looking very settled over the next few days. it's been a fine day today, and really, not an awful lot of change on the way. tomorrow, so, this week we're calling it "sunny spells, cloudy at times" — because that's the kind of weather high pressure builds. and the high pressure is over us right now, and it's not going to budge probably for around seven days or so at least. this is the satellite picture from earlier on. you can see various areas of cloud floating in this area of high pressure, but big breaks in the cloud, too — so some of us have had clear blue skies, others have been stuck underneath the cloud. for example, one bank of cloud here drifting on the wind off the north sea into eastern and central areas of england. so, for example, here first thing on tuesday, it will be fairly cloudy, whereas many other parts of the country will be waking up to sunshine. let's have a look at the
