our political correspondent jack fenwick reports. he d previously said he disliked the russian president but admired him as a political operator, and that the invasion of ukraine was a consequence of western expansion. the reform uk leader said he had predicted the war ten years ago. i stood up in the european parliament in 2014 and i said, and i quote, there will be a war in ukraine. why did i say that? it was obvious to me that the ever eastward expansion of nato and the european union was giving this man a reason, to his russian people, to say they re coming for us again, and to go to war. home secretary james cleverly accused him of echoing putin s vile justification for the invasion, and there was criticism too from labour. the only aggressor in ukraine is vladimir putin, and it is shocking that nigel farage chooses to align himself with putin. he s become a putin apologist. mr farage said last night that putin was wrong to invade, the eu was wrong to expand eastward
after you have been so polite. thank you and goodbye. goodbye. northern ireland was the place to be on sunday led winds, sunny skies and are not to be the warmest day of the year so far with temperatures reaching 19 degrees. by contrast, much further east across the uk, it remains cool. particularly because the northeastern parts of the cloud in the breeze coming out of the north sea. i pressure close by but will be turning to edge away that is lying these fronts to bring a cloud and even rain subcodes overnight but that of that, clear country sangria and some of these temperatures will be close to freezing first thing in
afternoon. high pressure today building across the united kingdom which will keep things settled. this area of high pressure blocks those atlantic weather systems from coming in across the uk. the rain bearing weather systems. that is why it will be so dry and settled. not completely dry because with an easterly wind we will see a few showers coming in off the north sea, particularly around the northeastern parts of england. there could be wintry. some showers in the southeast as well. some patches of fog could linger into the afternoon, especially in northern ireland, parts of cumbria in north west england. quite frosty in the north west this morning. but by the afternoon, temperatures 2 six celsius. but with the wind it will feel chilly. in some parts barely above freezing in the afternoon. plenty of dry and some sunny spells as well. through tonight, fog returns, especially in northern ireland, central scotland, parts of northern england. still some showers
storm. we will have a flood threat here. we started to see a lot of an active pattern across the south. we re getting water logged. there s an icing threat across the southern appalachians. this is saturday for us. so if you re traveling around johnson city, over towards greenville, northeastern parts of georgia, watch that closely. eventually the center of the storm pulls off to the northeast. does become a nor easter. what happens in the cities? the i-95 corridor is that break-off point oftentimes of who gets significant snow and who doesn t. we know we ll get some spots with significant snow. maybe 6 to 12 inches at least. that s how this is looking now, this is not for now. looking like those huge blockbuster storms. but it would be plowable. certainly once you get interior sections of the northeast, it s really along the i-95 corridor, what happens. to we get enough cold air that holds or do we get warmer and get more rain? this is what some of our models look like right now.
