in fact, start that much of england and wales. infact, parts start that much of england and wales.rts of oxfordshire saw temperatures of —7. but once the sunshine gets going, it was quite a pleasant afternoon. just take a look at padstow income. temperatures peaked at 12 degrees and you can start to feel that spring might be just around the corner. high pressure is dominating the weather story at the moment for most of us but take a look at this weather front that is just south of iceland. that is what is creeping towards the far north—west of scotland as we speak. a bit of a north—south divide as we move into tomorrow. under clear skies, frost and fog could be yet again another issue, but with a little more cloud and more of the breeze, temperatures here above freezing but once again, below freezing, may be as low as —5 or —6 in more rural parts. so yes, some of the fog will be slow to play. perhaps more dense in places in comparison to this morning. that is worth bearing in mind if you are up and off early. hopefully it will lift and we will get some sunshine coming through. a ve

i have dnven have driven in wales. i have driven quite a lot in wales. the roads are appalling.tive ity across wales is appalling . if you want an appalling. if you want an economy to progress, you have to have interconnectivity. it's an absolute fundamental given and this is not a transport policy. this is an anti transport policy because it doesn't come alongside . it doesn't come alongside. it doesn't come alongside. it doesn't come alongside the development of pubuc alongside the development of public transport. public transport also in wales is shocking. so what they're doing is actually damaging the prospects of levelling up. they're going to make it more expensive for people to live in wales, not more cost effective , wales, not more cost effective, more difficult to get around and all of that when we've already got the economy on its back foot with the cost of living crisis actually one way to get something moving . i'm not a something moving. i'm not a great fan of it, but one way to get an economy moving is to build roads, is to build national infrastructure, is to is

hello, a lovely day in cardiff, 12 degrees or higher but it was in west wales where we saw the highest of the temperatures in the uk today. in the temperatures in the uk today. in the sunshine, we got about 16 celsius, it should be around eight. contrast that with parts of lincolnshire, the fog did not want to shift, 4 degrees right into the afternoon. both dry and that is a crucial thing at the moment. after a thoroughly wet start to the air, there are some parts of england who have barely had a drop in the last month but it will change. here is an area of cloud in the atlantic pushing towards us. we just need to break through the block with this area of cloud, which tonight will edge its way into parts of northern ireland and the far west of scotland to bring some outbreaks of rain and a strengthening wind. away from that, dry, mistand a strengthening wind. away from that, dry, mist and fog could be an issue but across eastern parts of england and again, a frost around. a fairly light frost but a thrust nonetheless across parts of england, wales and eastern scotland. tomorrow, we sta

, may well turn a bit brighter with some sunshine, but again, some showers for wales, the south west cooler, the temperatures typically around nine celsius or so. now we've got cooler weather because we're changing the wind direction. instead of that very mild south—westerly that we started the week with, it's more of a north westerly wind turning northerly across england and wales as we head into thursday. around the top of that area of high pressure, some weather fronts will bring some wetter, windy weather across the north, but we've still got some rain to clearfrom overnight across southern parts of england. that cloud could be very slow to break up, other parts of england, of wales seeing some sunshine, more cloud coming into scotland and northern ireland, wet and windy weather coming into the far north of scotland. temperatures could make double figures in scotland and northern ireland, but it's chilly 8—9 celsius for england and wales. that high pressure is not really dominating just yet. instead, we've got this weather front, an area of low pressure sliding down through the n

some glorious weather outside this afternoon and particularly across england and wales, that's where the best of this afternoon's sunshine will be. scenes like these pretty widespread but there are exceptions with thicker cloud running into cumbria and fog patches around the thames estuary. further north—west we have thicker cloud working into western scotland and northern ireland. a few spots of result for the hebrides and shetland this afternoon. it's quite mild, temperatures ranging between eight and 10 degrees, some of the higher temperatures where it is cloudy. in the south of the uk meanwhile, with clear skies it's a cold night. a widespread frost across most of england and wales with temperatures down as low as —6 in the countryside but as well as that we are looking at some fog which will become quite dense and widespread across east anglia and south—east england. catching elsewhere, but some of the fog could linger into the afternoon bringing quite cool weather. scotland and northern ireland, increasingly moving into the north of england, some cloud and a spot of drizzle fro

and then for england and wales will see sunny spells. of north wales, for example, could get to 15 degrees. a bit more cloud for northern ireland and scotland, but here it will also be mild. and then as we move through tuesday night and into wednesday, this weather front finally makes its move, pushing its way eastwards with some outbreaks of rain weakening. all the while behind that, we will see further spells of rain at times, but not all the time for the end of the week. and it is going to stay very mild by friday. temperatures in the south of 15 or 16 degrees. welcome to bbc news. we start in turkey and syria where in the last half hour we've leaned that the number of people confirmed dead across both countries after the earthquakes has risen to over 33,000. these are the live pictures from the south of turkey where, as you can see, the rescue operation is continuing. those death toll figures, let's just break them down for you. officials and medics said over 29,500 people had died in turkey and over 3,500 in syria
