indicating a slowing us economy. australia s central bank left its cash rate unchanged at 3.6%. that s it from me. plenty more coming up injust a moment. hello. we ve seen a reasonably settled spell of early april weather over the past few days, largely dry with some sunshine. and that s going to continue at least for another 24 hours for many parts of the uk. so sunny spells around. there is some rain in the forecast through tuesday and it s mainly pushing in across the far northwest all down to this weather front you can see here. but it is meeting this big area of high pressure which sits to the east, and that s really going to be the driving force of the weather, particularly across england, wales and eastern scotland too. that s where we ve got the clearest skies over the next few hours. it s really quite chilly out there. a bit more cloud and drizzly rain pushing into northern ireland and western scotland. so temperatures by tuesday dawn here above freezing. but elsewhere, we cou
