mark savage, bbc news. (tx vt) stay with us here on bbc news. hello.t is the start of meteorological spring today and the weather is looking fairly dry and settled through the course of the weekend. it was certainly a chilly start to the morning this morning. a lot of dry weather on the cards, but some frost again tonight and some fog patches as well. they could be quite slow to clear in places, but it's high pressure that's dominating our weather. this is a satellite from earlier. you can see this bank of cloud that's been moving in, this weather front, which is fizzling out as it pushes south, so not much rain left on it for the remainder of the day as it moves across southern scotland, northern england, clearing out of northern ireland later on today. either side of that, more in the way of sunshine. once the mist and fog clears away, should be a glorious day across central and southern england and wales. ten degrees or so here and we'll see a bit more sunshine following across scotland and northern ireland later in the day too. just this band of cl

mark savage, bbc news.live from the red carpet from 4:30 gmt — with a live page providing coverage more of a breeze for scotland. so thicker cloud here. i think the best of the sunshine will be around eastern scotland, to the east of the pennines, and also across southern parts and central parts of england as well as wales. temperatures a fraction higher, around ten to possibly 13 celsius, and the high will stick around through the beginning of next week. in fact centred around the alps and the balkans. we are brushed eventually by weather systems in the northwest of the uk, so there's always going to be a bit more cloud and maybe a few spots of rain, but further south, my goodness, look at that. clash at the white house. mr zelensky said peace could only come when ukraine had a strong position for negotiations. mr zelensky is now in britain — where he is due to meet

mark sanford himself. so the bottom line is this. i, um... i've been unfaithful to my wife. i developed, um, a relationship with a dear, dear friend. savagerned out he was a man in love. his cover is now blown. mark sanford was not, after all, hiking by himself on the appalachian trail. hiking the appalachian trail, which then instantly entered the lexicon as a euphemism for an affair. he was hiking on the appalachian trail, which is a trail that starts in maine and ends in an argentine woman's vagina. [laughter and applause] it was all over the late night shows. it was every monologue. "hiking the appalachian trail." "where have you been, honey? what's that lipstick?" "i was hiking the appalachian trail." it was just... it was such a huge contribution to the english language. so the guy had an affair and was really sloppy about covering it up. he's hardly the first politician to do that. but there was something about this man dropping off the grid to see his secret international lover that truly shocked people, myself included. full disclosure--i was friendly with mark and jenny sanford. i first met them more than 20 years ago when i was

mark savage, bbc news. as mark was saying, the 45th brit awards coming up this evening in london. be live from the red which kicks off before let's have a look at the satellite picture. can't miss this band of cloud. that's the weather front. it's been over northern ireland, scotland too. the skies have been a little cloudy. even a little bit of light drizzle and rain here and there. that weather front is stuck in the area of high pressure. so it's not moving an awful lot, but it should be out of the picture mostly by the time we get to tomorrow. so here's the picture end of the afternoon. that weather front still over the irish sea into southern scotland. but for many of us it's a case of blue skies and temperatures of around nine celsius. tonight, the high pressure is right over us. that weather front still stuck in the high, so in some places it will be rather cloudy. but to the south we'll see a widespread frost, even in bigger towns and cities. a windless and calm, clear night here. so mist and fog in the morning, could be stubborn once again. so you'll wake up and we've got
