warmer does not always mean drier, and on the satellite picture you can see a bit of cloud, quite a nice looking satellite picture, but each of those curls of cloud will bring some rain at times. but the winds generally coming up from the south, the orange colours show that it is going to be quite a one week, and that should last into the use to recant. this afternoon, this band of showery rain will be pushing its way northwards. the best of the sunshine i think we'll be across eastern areas although it will be turning increasingly hazy. these are the average wind speeds. gusts will be “p average wind speeds. gusts will be up to 40mph or more. some chilly air still clinging on in the north of scotland. we will see further pulses of heavy and possibly thundery rain coming up from the south. quite a lot of cloud and for the vast majority, for almost everyone, it will be frost—free, a mild start to tuesday morning. with quite a lot of cloud, outbreaks of showery and possibly thundery rain drifting northwards through the day, some spells of sunshine. if we see sunshine across eastern england tomorrow, temperatures could get up tomorrow, temperatures could get up to 19 or 20. for most of us, it will be quite a warm day. still the chilly air holding on in the north—east of scotland. a bit more mist and fog and low cloud on wednesday, particularly out towards the west. but the winds will be very light and temperatures in places we'll get up to 19—20. on thursday, some outbreaks of rain coming into western parts of scotland and northern ireland and a fair amount of cloud elsewhere, with some sunshine, but again it will feel warm. and then we get to the easter weekend and it looks like high pressure is going to try to take control, which means a fair amount of dry weather. the big question mark is about how resilient this area of high pressure will be, and how much it will fend off the weather systems which will be trying to come in from the west. some uncertainty about the detail, still a few days away, it looks as though it will stay warm and dry and bright but there is just a chance that these frontal systems will bring a little rain at times. a reminder of our top story. thejury at the jury at the old bailey has found ali harbi ali guilty of murdering the mp said david amess and of preparing acts of terrorism. that's all from the bbc news at one, so it's goodbye from me, and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc�*s news teams where you are. good afternoon — it'sjust after 1.30 — and this is your latest sports news. as you've been hearing, scottie scheffler has won his first major, at the masters in augusta. he began the final round three shots clear of the field — and despite a late surge from rory mcilroy, he had enough in the in the bank to miss two short putts on the 18th green. it was a nervy finish — and scheffler admitted he'd been in pieces before he went out to attempt to win the green jacket. i cried like a baby this morning i was so stressed out. i didn't know what to do. i was sitting there, i was telling meredith, i don't think i am ready for this. you know, was telling meredith, i don't think iam ready for this. you know, i was telling meredith, i don't think i am ready for this. you know, i am not ready, like, i do not feel like i am ready for this kind of stuff and ijust i am ready for this kind of stuff and i just felt overwhelmed. mcilroy hit a 64, equalling the lowest final—round score in masters history and said the chip in from the bunker for a birdie at the 18th left him as happy as he's ever been on a golf course. he has four majors to his name — and this is the only one he's never won — but after starting the day 10 shots adrift of scheffler, he closed in with six birdies and an eagle. i don't think i've ever walked away from this tournament as happy as i am today. played a really good round of golf. it is best ever finish at augusta. it is not quite enough but i'll certainly look back on this day with very fond memories and as i said at the start, it gives me confidence going forward not only into the next masters next year but into the next masters next year but into the next masters next year but into the rest of the season as well. the grand national winning jockey, sam waley—cohen, admits he does have regrets over how much he used the whip in his victory aboard noble yeats. in saturday's race at aintree. waley—cohen was fined aoo—pounds for using his whip above the permitted level and in the incorrect place in the finish, and also banned for nine days. although that won't count for much, given waley—cohen retired after the race. i have first priority is to look after the horses and, you know, my responsibilities to make sure i look after the horse so come on a personal level, i would after the horse so come on a personal level, iwould much after the horse so come on a personal level, i would much rather have not gone over the counter but, you know, in retrospect, i would have done things differently on that front but, you know, it is very key to look after the horses and, glad, glad to have done that. and a new marathon has been launched, to honour rugby league legend rob burrow — and raise money to fight motor neurone disease. burrow was diagnosed with the condition in 2019 and together with his great friend kevin sinfield, he's raised millions of pounds

new prime minister. the brother of the father prime minister one 174 votes after opposition mps staged a walk—out and announced they were resigning en masse. the election of the new prime minister was held after imran khan was ousted in a new confidence vote at the weekend. mr khan said that he is the victim of a us led conspiracy to oust him. more now on our top story. a man has been found guilty of murdering sir david amess. the southend west mp was stabbed more than 20 times during a constituency surgery in leigh—on—sea, last october.our home affairs correspondent, daniel sandford, has been speaking about the case to detective chief superintendent dominic murphy, from the metropolitan police. ali harbi ali was a committed, self—radicalised terrorist, who conducted a terrible attack against democracy here in the uk by killing sir david amess on this day. we know from his own admissions in interview and we know from his behaviour in trial that his focus was on targeting mps within the houses of parliament here in the uk. so he was a committed terrorist. one of the interesting thing about this case is what he said in his police interviews in the hours after the murder of sir david. what do you think those interviews and what he said to the detectives and the officer in those interviews what do you think that can tell us about the process of radicalisation, the kind of conveyor belt he wept on down those years. i think conveyer belt is a good description, the interviewing officer did a greatjob getting him to talk about his journey. we can learn that people can self—radicalise and do this almost entirely in secret and alone in their house and do that online. and some of their activity when they then leave their house presents an opportunity for us and the public to maybe work together and identify their behaviour, but people can do this entirely alone at home. as far as you understand it in terms of the investigation you were able to do, this was all going on what inside his own head, there was nothing he was sharing with anybody else, or where there potential shreds of evidence, which no matter how slim, may have been there to spot? from our investigation, which has looked into ali harbi ali in a very thorough and deep way, we can say he was a self—initiated terrorist, who acted alone, did not share his plans with anyone else and conducted all of his activity alone. in his case, he spoke in his interview initially talking about going out to syria to in his words support his islamic state brothers, but also potentially to fight, but then he changed his mind to stay here and then evolve this attack plan. what do you think that decision—making process tells us about the nature of the threat? because clearly one day he was planning on going to syria, but never made it and then turned his attention to here. well i've worked in counter terrorism for 16 years now here and i know that across the country colleagues in policing have seen a diversification of the threat. a the threat is very different now and has changed throughout that time. and if an individual can't travel and wants to stay in the uk and do their attack, there are many, many junctions at which they will make that decision. in ali harbi ali's case i think by his own admission he decided he would stay and launch his attack here rather than travel overseas. do you think that was simply because he didn't have the wherewithal to travel, so actually attacking at home became an easier option for him? i think it's difficult to second guess his reasons behind. but we have seen that happen before. we have seen some people travel. i think it is an individual preference that he made at some point along his journey towards conducting this attack. given what was known about that self—radicalisation journey he went on, what is your advice to the public in terms of things they can do to help the police and the security services identify these potential threats, it must be very, very difficult? to see somebody like ali harbi ali coming if there are no other signs of what they're planning in their head. yes, i think you have described the challenge well, it is difficult to spot these people coming, given they can act entirely alone and online. my advice would be that our closeness of relationship with the security and intelligence agencies and the public and those concerned about those that might be hon the radicalisation journey can call the police, call the anti—terrorist branch hotline or go to the act early web—site and report their concerns and seek some advice and guidance. but our relationship with the public is integral to us detecting and preventing terrorism. why do you think he chose sir david amess as his victim? again it is hard orfor me to say exactly why he david sir david amess, but we know he researched a number of mps during his research into this plot and he made a number of attempts to follow other mps online and to physically follow other mp5. sir david amess was holding a surgery that day and ali harbi ali was able to book an appointment there and just remember sir david amess was trying to help ali harbi ali as a constituent in his essex constituency on the day this happened. so really it is a terrible attack and i have to feel for sir david amess's family. i'm nowjoined by reverend steve tinning, a friend of sir david. thank you very much forjoining us. what is your reaction to this verdict? i what is your reaction to this verdict? . �* , verdict? i mean, i'm 'ust relieved in

refugees in the town including syrian refugees and town including syrian refugees and to hear that part of the motivation at least two of why david was targeted was because of how he had voted in the syrian war was hard to hear given everything that he had done to advocate for refugees and to try to have them reunited with family and, you know, even to the point of voting against his government on family reunion wheels and things like that. the syrian refugees that are part of southend—on—sea here were as heartbreaking as anybody to hear the news because of how well he had advocated for them

faith communities could do to improve community life. he opened and eke over and community life. he opened and eke overand again, community life. he opened and eke over and again, the primary reason i

the church in november and he was coming to my last service and tedious to, i don't know if you can see at the handwriting but he just wrote you will be so missed. it is those sort of reason that it

desperate to travel on the pier train that has been named after him. as ongoing legacy will be are a lot of things david was incredibly passionate about was abusing to name to see the reasons got

suggested the city that she would have 1000 conversations, one—to—one conversations about our hopes for the city because david was so well known to the town and the city as it is now because of these constituency surgeries he held for he sat down with people, some of whom he agreed with people, some of whom he agreed with in some he didn't. they didn't bother him. we want to know what was on peoples hearts and he acted on it in one of the things we hope will be a legacy as far as to have those same conversations with one another. what is good about our city. what is challenging about our

doubt their friends support they can get a no doubt theirfriends and support they can get a no doubt their friends and closest family around them as well but there has been no lack of public support for them and everything that they are going through and i hope the city is helping them. you hear in any way we can be. i'd managed to get back to the verdict that we have seen today, the verdict that we have seen today, the sentencing on wednesday of course. how do you feel will be received in the city? i think it will be a relief fund, like i said, it feels a lifetime ago but only yesterday, the same time, that all this happened and there's been a certain expectation about the verdict so i think there is tremendous relief that has happened, everyone have a different on how this will go on and i'm grateful to be in a country that tries to embark upon justice be in a country that tries to embark uponjustice in a be in a country that tries to embark upon justice in a way that sees restoration reconciliation. we make no expectations about that. from what i understand there was little more shown and i'm sure the sentencing will reflect that. irate sentencing will reflect that. we really appreciate you talking to us and showing your very fond memories of sir david amess. let's return to the latest in ukraine. president zelenksy has been speaking to south korea's parliament, and said he believed tens of thousands of people had likely been killedin russia's assault on the southeastern city of mariupol alone. general sir richard barrons was formerly one of the uk's most senior military commanders, until his retirement in 2016. he told my colleague, joanna gosling, that russia is focussing its efforts on the east of the country — and we should expect this next phase of the war to be very different. the russians have learned the lessons of their failed first phase of this war and they didn't intend just to be one phase. so they're now going to try and have one battle at once, so they can focus their air power, fire power, logistics, command and control and ground forces on the donbas. that won't exclude the use of air fire missiles elsewhere in ukraine, but the weight will now fall on a battle for the donbas. and what capacity does ukraine have to meet that challenge? volodymyr zelensky has been calling for tanks and other attack missiles, but so far the response from the west has been mainly to provide defensive weaponry. so this is going to be a much harderfight for the ukrainian military. they are entrenched in donbas with the most powerful part of ukrainian military, but mostly facing east, that is a battle that they have been having for seven years. but they're now going to have to factor in the russian ground forces trying to get behind them to encircle them from the north and the south, that they're going to have to fight on those fronts as well. and they're going to have to keep their supply lines up to the west of the ukraine and they're going to enter this battle hoping that the tactics the that work around kyiv a where they were able to identify russian forces if confined to roads and ambush them mainly from the woods in the flanks using the weapons supplied by the west. but what they may find in much of the donbas is that the russian armour is wise to that and manoeuvres faster and harder across open country and provides a much more difficult target, accompanied by a lot more artillery. so it could be a harderfight for the ukrainian military. so what would you say ukraine needs? so ukraine needs us to continue to do a number of things. to supply intelligence, particularly from the us surveillance assets in space. it needs us to look after the refugees and displaced people so the country can focus on the fight without worrying about the families that have left and it needs massive support of material and money in order to equip the military. and the challenge there in the time they have available is it's no good trying to introduce anything new and complicated, because they couldn't work it or maintain it. what we have to do is find supplies of stuff they're used to using and some of those stock piles in the west will now be getting depleted and industry won't replace it that quickly. the fear of escalation has been constraining nato, what is your view of that. that's right, this is a war between russia and ukraine and a confrontation between nato and russia. if the west were to act in a way that gave vladimir putin the excuse to expand the war to the rest of nato, he might be pleased because it would take the eye off the dismal failure of the russian war. other than its astonishing brutality. he ukraine would recognise the day the first cruise missile falls on london, because that is a potential consequence of expanding the war, then the west�*s ability to support ukraine will rapidly diminish. so there is quite a lot to be gained by just focussing on helping ukraine to win this war. the queen has spoken publicly for the first time about having covid, saying it left her "very tired and exhausted". she made the comment during a video call with staff and former patients at the royal london hospital, as louisa pilbeam reports. it does leave one very tired and exhausted, doesn't it, this horrible pandemic. it's the first time we've heard the queen speak about her bout of covid as she sympathised with a patient who ended up on a ventilator due to the virus. are you better now? i'm getting there, i'm recovering. i'm much better, i recently left the wheelchair so i'm walking about now. i'm glad that you're getting better. it was february when the queen isolated here at windsor castle after testing positive for covid. the palace called the 95—year—old's symptoms mild and cold—like. she continued light duties from the castle, like official paperwork and video calls. but as weeks passed, she pulled out of the commonwealth service at westminster abbey. by last month, though, she met the canadian prime minister in person and welcomed a teapot and pottery exhibition to the castle. in recent times the queen has been walking with the aid of a stick, as seen here at prince philip's memorial service at westminster abbey two weeks ago. and despite speaking of the exhaustion covid caused her, perhaps the biggest clue to her majesty's health now is her expression at the end of her latest video call. thank you very much indeed, all of you. louisa pilbeam, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather. after last week's frosty nights, this week the weather brings us something warmer. not always dry. on the earlier satellite picture you can see there is cloud and weather set out to the west. fans of claude and ben at times through this week but, what we will also see, is this warm air feed but, what we will also see, is this warm airfeed in up from the but, what we will also see, is this warm air feed in up from the south and that is likely to stay with us as we head weekend but in the shorter term to the afternoon, a band of showery rain drifting northwards across england, wales, northern ireland, some bits and pieces of rain for scotland. quite a breezy day out there but i one one for many. temperatures at 5pm 17 degrees. the colder air is trying to cling on and across parts of scotland. tonight showery ranges northwards. pulses of rain from the south. potentially heavy and thundery. fairamount south. potentially heavy and thundery. fair amount of cloud and for the vast majority, forjust about everyone, it will be frost free so a mild side to tuesday and quite a lot of cloud around at times. areas of drifting northwards. a band of rain to the afternoon developing. ahead of that, if we see some sunshine, it could lift temperatures closer to 20 degrees and it will be a warm day for many. still, though, lit habitually across parts of north—east scotland. a wednesday there is a greater chance that we will see of low cloud, mist and fog particularly out towards the west. dry weather and spells of sunshine. late when someone to shower is popping up but that warmer are spreading further north so double digits even in northern scotland. pays towards the south—east of the uk 19 or 20. for thursday we see a frontal system trying to bring some rain in from the west so some wet weather for northern ireland in western scotland. dry with valour cloudy elsewhere. again, feeling warm. into the easter weekend, this area of high pressure is going to to take control of the weather but it is relatively weak so it may not be quite strong enough to fend off all the weather systems from the west. a bit of uncertainty in the detail but it looks like there will be a lot of warmer, dry and bright weather to the easter weekend and just the chance of a little rain at times. this is bbc news. the headlines out two p —year—old man is found guilty of murdering former southend west mp sir david amess, and
