Spring like out there for many of us at the moment. If you are planning to get out for exercise just want to sit in the garden, it looks dry for most this afternoon, with sunshine.

You can see the stripe of cloud, a slow moving weather front bringing rain for parts of Northern Ireland and scotla nd parts of Northern Ireland and scotland but specially in the far north west. It is pretty windy here and will remain so through the rest of the afternoon but for the eastern side of Northern Ireland, scotland there will be the potential for low cloud around the western coast, but for Northern Ireland and scotland, low cloud and outbreaks of patchy rain. The far north and north west of scotland, should turn brighter as the day wears on. A little bit colder here, but further south, 16 or 17 degrees. The slow moving band of cloud is associated with this wriggle frontal system, nothing much to push it on, so system, nothing much to push it o

I will say for the parts of the National Security apparatus that i oversaw is dni, there was no such wiretap activity mounted against the president elect at the time or as a candidate, or against his campaign. I cannot speak for other title iii authorized entities in the government. Harris leyland begins our coverage from the white house.
