and this was the glorious sight over stonehenge. maybe the image of the night. and if there are clear skies tonight, there could be an action replay. our scotland correspondent, alexandra mackenzie joins us from oban on the west coast. time for a look at the weather. here s louise lear. it is happening again. i was pessimistic if you were watching the six o clock news about how much of the northern lights we would be able to see. this was the western isles around an hour ago and it isn tjust scotland. where we have breaks in the cloud we have beautiful dancing light displays. this was actually in wiltshire about an hour ago. the reason why i was pessimistic is because we have more cloud today and there is certainly more cloud around. might not be quite as widespread but take a chance on it, just take a peek because if the cloud breaks up you might get to see it. the reason why we have more cloud is this high pressure, still sitting with us and this nagging north easterly wind

we will get there at the end of the show. all right, a lot to get to this hour but we look ahead to tonight, president biden will deliver the state of the union address in less than nine hours from now. and he certainly will have a lot of explaining to do to the nation. first, there is the growing controversy over the chinese spy balloon that flew over the country for more than a week. before he took action. the record-breaking biden search at the southern border and the scandal surrounding his son hunter. i don t think he will mention that. plus, his address tonight seen as a kickoff for his 2024 campaigns. yes, he is running, i told you he was but he may have a lot of convincing on that front. the poll says majority of democrats don t want him to run again and biden to talk about unity but that may be a tough selling point considering he just said this on friday. judgment till my jobs are up, which is a rub from inflation is down and covid no longer controls our life. the
