capitalise on snp labour can capitalise on snp vulnerability in scotland and translate that into westminster seats for the labour party at the general election, the path to downing street is that bit easier keir starmer, and turbulent in the snp, everything else being equal, might make that prospect for keir starmer that little bit more straightforward. that's why this matters wherever you are watching around the uk, that's why it has consequences within scotland but beyond scotland too.— consequences within scotland but beyond scotland too. chris, many thanks for that. _ time for a look at the weather. here's darren bett. thanks very much. it is going to be warmerfor us this week. thanks very much. it is going to be warmer for us this week. there will still be rain around but here across east anglia and the south—east of england, much better day, staying dry some sunshine. add to the west, we have lower pressure heading in from the atlantic, then stopping, but it is sweeping in all this cloud and underneath cloud we have seen

some rain. some wetter weather to begin with earlier today across northern ireland, being replaced by sunshine and sharp showers but the rain is pushing further into scotland, still affecting western parts of england and wales. further east, likely to stay dry. sunnier skies more towards east anglia, lincolnshire and the south—east, temperatures here reaching 17 or 18. to the west, still stuck at around 13 or 1a. as we were over the weekend. wet weather to end the day across northern and western isles. it should become drier with clearer spells in scotland and we will see it turning drier northern ireland before we get rain later. still cloudy across northern england and wales to the south—west with more rain later. clearer skies in the south—east, minimum temperature 6 or 7. tomorrow, more rain in western areas, but whether pushing back into northern ireland for a while. rain returning to wales and the south—west. a little rain for the far west of scotland otherwise it may well be joyful to sunshine for

the race. cloud increasing in east anglia in the south—east, could be one or two light showers. but with the southerly wind, the warmth will push northwards so warm in the midlands, northern england and scotland with temperatures of 16 or 17. this week whether front will bring some rain northwards along the east coast of the night but by wednesday it should have moved away. wednesday it should have moved away. we will find a few showers around on wednesday night but also some sunshine. there is some cloud and rain developing across the continent, that will push over the english channel towards the south—east later in the day. temperatures widely getting up to a more respectable 16 or 17. could be cold and misty and burki around the east coast of scotland in the north—east of england. that's because we are getting an easterly wind picking up, bringing some warmer air about moving over the cold sea, but we should seize on such and developing in scotland on thursday. perhaps northern ireland for a while but as you can see, elsewhere a lot of cloud. still the

chance of rain here and there. always cooler towards wales in the south—west. the warmest weather is in the north, not for easter in scotland but in western scotland where temperatures could reach 20 celsius in the highlands. thanks, darren. and that's the bbc news at 0ne. the news continues here on bbc one — as now it's time to join our colleagues across the nations and regions for the news where you are. goodbye. hello and welcome to sportsday. i'm jane dougall. an apology from billy vunipola after after being charged in spain — the england international says it was a misunderstanding. he's playing right now — ronnie 0'sullivan is so close to a place in the quarterfinals of the world snooker championship. we'll be live to the crucible for an update.
