hello from the bbc sport centre. as expected chris wilder has been named the new manager of sheffield united after the club confirmed the sacking of paul heckingbottom. wilder has a job on his hands with the blades rooted bottom of the table, on just five points after losing 11 of their opening 1a games. they lost 5—0 against fellow strugglers burnley on saturday. their next game is against liverpool on wednesday. the manchester united manager erik ten hag says the club is moving in the right direction and denied reports that he has lost the dressing room. united are at home to chelsea on wednesday night, lost to newcastle on sunday, and are struggling to stay in the champions league after drawing to galatasaray last week. four media outlets were barred from attending today's scheduled news conference after publishing stories about player unrest without contacting the club for comment. they should come to us first and not go around our back. printing

articles, that is not the right thing. we have another relationship and then they can give that to us beforehand. we can have a professional discussion and debate about it. there are always players in every team who are not playing as much and who are less happy, but this is no different to normal. arsenal can stretch their lead to five points at the top of the premier league table with a win at luton this evening. meanwhile burnley will be looking to build on that big win against sheffield united. victory away at wolves would take them out of the relegation zone. there's much to play for in the women's nations league — with olympic qualification at stake for great britain focussing around the england scotland game. some scotland players could feature

at the olympic games but there is no suggestion they will try any less hard. scotla nd scotland is a wonderful country and nobody could be brave enough to question the integrity of the players and how much they love representing their nation. the feeling of this group and the passion to represent thousands of girls and boys who are going to come tomorrow and inspire these people. new orleans pelicans are through to the quarterfinals of the nba's in—season tournament after beating the sacramento kings 127—117 on monday night. brandon ingram scored 30 points to help new orleans erase an early deficit. and the pelicans were always ahead from the third quarter onwards. they'll play the winner of tuesday night's game between the phoenix suns and the los angeles lakers in the semi—finals, which take place on thursday in las vegas. and the indiana pacers can thank their all—star guard

tyrese haliburton, after reaching the semi—finals themselves, with a 122—112 quarter—final win over the boston celtics. haliburton recorded the first triple—double of his career, double figures for points, assists and rebounds. his dad loving it. the pacers will face either the milwaukee bucks and the new york knicks, who play their quarterfinal on tuesday night. featherweight world champion amanda serrano has vacated her wbc title, after the organisation refused to sanction 12 three—minute round contests. women's bouts are usually contested over 10 two—minute rounds. the 35—year—old retained her wba, wbo and ibf titles against danila ramos in october by unanimous decision after 12 rounds. but her wbc belt wasn't at stake because the mexico city—based sanctioning body wouldn't endorse extending the length of rounds in female boxing, citing "health and safety" concerns. and that's all the sport for now.

2:54 pm
everything here is basically handmade. it's an experience that the children will take through their, you know, their growing up years and hopefully, if we're still here, we'll be seeing their children. and that's all part of it for us. look at these beautiful letters. but it's currently running without planning permission. the organisers didn't know they needed it. it's cost us tens of thousands of pounds to put this all together. and it would be a shame to see it go. if we get refused again, then our only option is to go to appeal. and again, that appeal is going to cost. appeals can take a long time. the scary side of it, in the end, we get an order against us and we'd have to take all this down, and i think that would finish us then. the council offices say because of its rural setting with no public transport links, that this application should be refused.
2:55 pm
these visitors are glad it's on their doorstep. it was brilliant. kids really loved it. it's the first time they'd gone to see father christmas. there's not a lot around, actually. so if this place wasn't here, we'd have to go a lot further, like bath. i think it's probably one of the best grottoes i've been to, and so having an experience like this so close is really nice. even if councillors reject planning permission for this grotto, it will still be open this december. today's meeting will decide if it's santa and his friends' last christmas here. ross pollard, bbc news. that is sad for little kids who want to go and see father christmas in that grotto. that is it from me and the team. my colleague matthew is here at the top of the hour. stay with us and the bbc.
2:56 pm
hello. if you've had enough of the cold and you'd rather have the mild weather, well, be careful what you wish for, because we could be in for a lot of rain and some strong winds, but not in the short term. this evening, actually, the skies are going to be clearing and there's another frost on the way tonight. quite a sharp one and some fog forming, too. now, in the short term, quite thick cloud across parts of england and wales, although in the northwest here we've had some clearer skies, it's also been colder. and you can see at 5:00pm, temperatures around freezing in aberdeen, about four degrees in the south of england. now this evening, we're in between weather systems, one pulling away towards the east, another one advancing here from the west. in between, calm conditions, clear skies and fog will form. and on top of that, also very frosty weather. in fact, in parts of scotland, in rural spots, temperatures could be minus seven, minus ten degrees celsius and certainly a frost further south too. now out towards the west, we're starting to see that
2:57 pm
milderair coming in. you can see the southerly ease just ahead of this weather front here, which will bring rain, too. but for a time, that fog will linger tomorrow, particularly across parts of the midlands, southern england, the southeastern, where it does during the day, it could be really quite, quite raw, barely above freezing through most of the afternoon. but i think most of us should get at least some sunshine, particularly out towards the east. so more like five or six degrees. but look how much milder it is in belfast and plymouth. plymouth have double figures. so that wind and rain sweeping in. as i said, it could be a fair amount of rain over the next few days. we've already had some flooding recently in the southwest, so more rain to come and that weather system will be sweeping across the uk during the course of wednesday night through thursday as well. ahead of it there could be a little bit of wintryness across the scottish hills or the pennines. and then really a blustery day with a spell of heavy rain, at least for a time on thursday before things turn a little bit drier out towards the west. and you can see those temperatures recovering as well.
2:58 pm
so, a very turbulent weekend on the weather front with low pressure sweeping in and weather fronts. i don't think it's going to be raining all the time because the winds will be quite strong. so pushing those clouds along quite quickly towards the east. but if you look at the outlook, i think it's a case of rain symbols pretty much every single day for most major places. and you can see temperatures into double figures.
