any warmer? it will eventually, next week. but before we get there, a few cold days to come. and speaking of cold weather, do you know, this morning, weather, do you know, this morning, we had not only a widespread frost, but temperatures managed to get all the way down to —6 celsius in cumbria. so a really cold start to the day. but this month has been quite dull. the sunshine many of us have enjoyed so far this morning, i'm sure, will have been quite welcomed. however, we start to see shower clouds develop really widely now with some thicker, frontal cloud down towards the south—west of england bringing a threat of rain. shower clouds are developing. we have seen plenty of those in northern ireland already. through the afternoon, showers continue here, continuing to affect northern and eastern scotland, continuing to come across the pennines and to the north west of england. more general reign in south—west england,
1:31 pm
particularly parts of devon, and a few spots of rain into southern wales. as still live central wales, part of the central midlands and most of the self away from the extreme south coast dry with spells of sunshine, but it will stay dry, and overnight another cold one with and overnight another cold one with a widespread frost across the north of the country. in the south, forestry, six or seven stock that is because we have and rain. that rain is all tied in with this area of low pressure that will be dominating our weather picture into this weekend. so there is some rain to come on saturday. southern england gets it first, before it spreads to wales, the midlands and east anglia, and they will be a cold north—easterly wind with that band of rain, may be showers following into the south later. scotland, northern ireland and northern england, similar to today. a cold and frosty start, then sunshine for a time, then shower clouds developing into the afternoon. temperatures 10—13. another chilly one, another cold day coming on sunday as well. heavy rain for central and eastern england,
1:32 pm
spreading to eastern scotland through the day. for sunday, west is best. sunny spells here, just a few passing showers. temperatures not really changing much. again, 10—13 at best, so below average for the time of year. however, we will start to see the weather turned milder into next week. the reason for the change is we get these southerly winds blowing in, but they will be rain to come as well, particularly for western areas of the uk, parts of eastern scotland and eastern england will have dry and bright weather with sunshine, but those temperatures come back to average for this time of year, and that warming trend is set to continue deeper into next week as well. however, low pressures are lurking, so it will not exactly be a dry week next week. they will be some areas of rain or showers around, but if we look at the temperatures, they are climbing into the high teens, may be low 20s in the very warmest areas. some dry bits and pieces of weather around, but also rain at times. so called for the next few days, chilly

championships one more time and hopefully again in the future, that was such a special moment for me. liverpool managerjurgen klopp has given his appraisal of his likely successor, feyenoord's arne slot, saying "he likes the way his team plays football." klopp, who's leaving liverpool at the end of the season as the club's most successful premier league manager, described thejob as "the best in the world. i like the way this team play football, i can't say definitely all the things i hear about him as a guy, good guy, some people i know know him, i don't know him yet but some people tell me he is a really good guy and i like that a lot. so good guy and i like that a lot. so good coach, good guy, looking forward to it if he is to solution,
1:35 pm
i am more than happy, it is not up to me. it sounds all really good. slot says he wants to join liverpool. speaking to dutch media, he confirmed feyenoord are in talks with liverpool and that he's waiting for them to reach an agreement. a week on from coventry�*s fa cup final disappointment, discussions around the frailties of var continue. the former crystal palace, cardiff and sheffield united manager neil warnock is a well known opponent of the system and says it takes away the excitement of matches. i have been wanting it to come since i have been wanting it to come since i was at cardiff and we got relegated on a var, an off—site gold that were scored late on, and i was thinking it will be such a difference. but when i look at the coventry fa cup tie and that fans delighted scarring that winner and then var, it is taken all the
1:36 pm
excitement away. you can't cheer for a goal and until we saw the —— sought var out in this country and get people in the studio that played a game and know the game i am not enjoying it at all at the moment and when you look at the freeze frame pictures, that split second, i saw another picture of the coventry man united goal and it looks like a clear goal to me. so you don't really know where you are. it has been disappointing for me and i feel sorry for poor old howard webb because the referees, you take two or three out of the referee squad, and they are as poor as they have been, i think. john o'shea will continue as ireland's interim head coach. the former manchester united defender will lead the republic for their upcoming two international friendlies against hungary and portugal in june. o'shea led ireland to a draw against belgium before losing to switzerland last month. brazil striker marta says

1:38 pm
think straightaway the analysis is all on what we can do better. i think a fantastic result and a fantastic performance from the gold but equally we know barcelona were probably not at their best and i think we have a huge amount of respect and although it was a brilliant game and we have put ourselves in the best possible place coming into the next day, it is all about knowing what is about to come on saturday, which is one of the best teams, throwing absolutely everything at us. best teams, throwing absolutely everything at us. the women's 6 nations will be decided tomorrow in a winner takes all game between england and france in bordeaux. england haven't lost in the tournament for 28 games — and that was by france back in 2018. but they'll face a french side unbeaten this year with the ability to stop a sixth successive title for the red roses. we have got to stay on it from the first minute to the 80th minute and if we come off it like we did last time we played them they can turn it on at any time and have that french

flair. i think their philosophy is dare to play but actually we are not going to let them play this week. they —— we starve them of the ball and they can play. we are ruthless about the way we go about our business and the scoreline will look after itself. business and the scoreline will look after itself. snooker�*s world championship is into the second round and it's proving hard going for robert milkins. after scraping through his opening match milkins is struggling against david gilbert 8—4 after the first session and his frustration showed. but when gilbert missed milkins had to quickly pick it up and play again. it's the best of 25 frames with a place in the quarter—finals at stake. it was a record breaking first round of the nfl draft — where american football teams pick the best prospects for the new season. no defensive players were chosen in the top 10 for the first time in history and caleb williams was one of a record six quarterbacks in the first 12. the 22—year—old was the chicago bears first pick and is being hailed as the most talented players to come out of college for years. 250,000 fans packed—out detroit

1:43 pm
of the team, goodbye. you are watching bbc news, i am lauren taylor. scotland's first minister, humza yousaf is preparing to give a speech in dundee setting out the sort of action he can now take as leader of a minority government, after ending his coalition with the greens. the bbc understands he will not be announcing his resignation despite a conservative confidence vote in his leadership of the scottish government likely to be scheduled he said in the last few minutes he is confident he can win the vote of no confidence tabled against him. this was tabled by the scottish conservatives yesterday after he announced that break up of the deal between the snp and the greens. and he is now in a minority government so he is saying he's intending to fight the vote of no confidence and he says he is confident he can win it. clearly not announcing any kind of resignation, in spite of that no
1:44 pm
confidence vote being lodged by the scottish conservatives. and that is likely to be scheduled in holyrood next week. i will bring you more on that story as soon as we get it. the us supreme court has heard arguments about whether donald trump is immune from prosecution for actions he took while president. the justices have been asked to consider whether any president should have full, or partial immunity. the outcome will determine, among other things, whether mr trump should face trial on charges he plotted to overturn his 2020 election defeat. cbs correspondent jarred hill sent us the latest. the supreme court yesterday, in this case around the question ofjust how much immunity to former president trump or any president of the us for that matter have when it comes to criminal prosecution related to official acts that they are conducting as president. what we heard from the justices is it seems as though the majority don't believe there is this widespread blanket immunity for official acts, as former
1:45 pm
president trump has made a claim. instead, it does seem as though there might be some middle ground that they are focusing on. with that, there potentially could be the possibility that if they rule in that way, that this case then get struck down back to a lower court, which would snowball delaying another bigger case that is going on, this federal election interference case that former president trump is facing. that potentially could end them getting pushed beyond november's election. meanwhile, we do have this hush money case happening in new york city. this one in new york state. this is not related really to the supreme court case, which kind of makes this all a bit confusing, but this one continues to go on and the question around this is whetherformer president trump was involved in this illegal scheme back before the 2016 election. if he was involved in the scheme to hush money payments made to disclose hush money payments made to a woman claiming to have been in an affair with him.
1:46 pm
he says none of this happened.
