Actually a quite night. With clearing skies and a bit of cloud gathering into the far north west. A bit more comfortable for some of us to get a good night s sleep. But maybe in the south east, still 17 degrees as an overnight low. We start tomorrow with the signs of change, with low pressure starting to dominate the weather story to the far north and west. Not for all of us. It will bring more cloud with a southerly wind across northern ireland and the western fringes of scotland will gradually start to see some rain.

Covid rules. That threat is the latest example in the fight over mandate splitting the country apart, dana. Biden and florida governor ron desantis going after each other for days over mandates like wearing masks in schools. Ron desantis says it should be up to the parents to decide, but now the president is looking at new ways to overrule states like florida. My concerns are deep, one of the things that i find a little disingenuous, when i suggested that people in zones where there is a high risk, where the masks like you are all are doing. I m told that the government should get out of the way. Do you want to intervene in states like texas and florida where they are banning masks mandates? i don t believe i do thus far. We are checking that. Greg: governor desantis defending his rights and refusing to cave to people like a joe biden. We will do anything to make sure that parents are in the driver s seat when it comes to the health, education, and welfare of their kids. You should not
