time for a more detailed look at the weather. here's louise again. we were talking about it earlier, what awaits people as we head into the weekend? it what awaits people as we head into the weekend?— what awaits people as we head into the weekend? . , , , , the weekend? it has been relentless, this icture the weekend? it has been relentless, this picture could _ the weekend? it has been relentless, this picture could be _ the weekend? it has been relentless, this picture could be almost - this picture could be almost anywhere across the country. i'm sure you don't need me to reinforce the story, but the statistics are breath—taking. we have only had five days of january so far and breath—taking. we have only had five days ofjanuary so far and some of us have seen just about or close to the whole monthly average rain fall forjanuary. that is how relentless it has been. but i've got a glimmer

of good news, it looks like we are heading for a drier spell for quite a few days in fact. but it will turn colder. it is drier as we speak. yes, there are some showers and some relentless rain in eastern scotland and windy conditions into the northern isles. a few showers in northern isles. a few showers in northern ireland, running down through the cheshire gap. but there is also some sunny spells across south—west england, central and southern england and not a bad afternoon for the bulk of scotland. temperatures through the afternoon around four to nine degrees. as we go through the night tonight that front across the northern isles will push north and it will weaken off a band of cloud to the east of the pennines. a few showers to the west. but as the winds fall lighter, mist and fog could form and those clearer skies. a touch of frost in sheltered rural parts. a chilly start to saturday. that weakening front to the east of the pennines bringing

cloud and the odd shower. to the west, the fog will lift and some sunshine here and a few coastal showers still. but west will be best for the sunshine. there is a phrase i have not use for a time. starting to get cooler though for most of us. high pressure will continue to build, the winds will fall light, as we go into sunday. and that means that again frost and fog could be an issue first thing. and we could be chasing cloud amounts around with more cloud from the north sea and the odd shower in essex and kent. and more cloud will mean it will feel chilly for some of us. a bit of a shock to the system, we haven't seen temperatures like this for a while. the high pressure will continue to establish itself across the country, pushing westerly, the winds rotate in a clockwise direction and an easterly direction, a coolish source, continuing to

bring a little more cloud off the north sea from time to time. but let's continue with that positive note, yes, frost and fog could be a problem first thing and it will be on the cool side, temperatures below average, but a lot of sunshine and most importantly no significant rain. . ~ and that's bbc news at one. you can keep up with all the latest developments on the bbc website. now it's time to join our colleagues for the news where you are. goodbye. hello and welcome to sportsday. everton consider appealing the controversial red card their striker, dominic calvert—lewin, was given following another var intervention.

and the 15—year—old british skating champion hoping to skate his way to the very top. everton are appealling against dominic calvert—lewin�*s red card in their goalless fa cup draw at crystal palace last night. it's a decision that's reopened the debate over the efficacy of var. he was sent off ten minutes from time for this challenge on nathaniel clyne — referee chris kavanagh initially took no action, but the var officials studied the slow motion replays, which showed his studs were up, although there was minimal contact. it's the first he's been dismissed in his career and he's set to miss the next three games. the consensus is that calvert—lewin did not appear to endanger

the safety of the opponent, nor was there excessive force. if you slow anything down of that nature it will look a lot worse. you slow it down, it is high, but there is minimal contact. then you go, live, then of course it is brought back. then you go, let us start slowing it down. the bigger picture for me is, clearly pulled to the floor with two arms round his waist. there was definitely no malicious intent, _ there was definitely no malicious intent, no — there was definitely no malicious intent, no question of that. it is a situation — intent, no question of that. it is a situation of — intent, no question of that. it is a situation of interpretation these days of—

in north london as tottenham take on burnley in the late kick off. tottenham's head coach ange postecoglou has urged his side to go all the way — with the australian calling the tournament a significant event. the fa cup is a significant event. on a global scale. fa cup final day pretty much reaches every corner of the globe stop everyone has some sort of experience of it. great competition, great tradition, great history. looking forward to as having a crack at it. i would not make a big distinction between — i would not make a big distinction between the fact it is fa cup game or premier— between the fact it is fa cup game or premier league game, we have the opportunity— or premier league game, we have the opportunity to play against one of the best— opportunity to play against one of the best teams in england, in the best league in the world, that means a lot _ best league in the world, that means a lot and _ best league in the world, that means a lot. and treating that game as being _ a lot. and treating that game as being an — a lot. and treating that game as being an aborted game for us to continue. — being an aborted game for us to continue, measuring ourselves to these _ continue, measuring ourselves to these teams, that is something that is important. —— being an important game _

the liverpool manager, jurgen klopp, has been talking about the prospect of life without mo salah for a few weeks, as he's on international duty with egypt in the africa cup of nations. liverpool take on arsenal on sunday, and klopp is confident he can work around his absence. we all know we have different offensive options. we can play in a different way. nobody else who plays that wing should play like mo. we have to find another way to use their boys to their skills. that is accepted. do you want to play without mo? no. that if we do, we always find a way. former everton women's defender

hundreds of people have been forced to leave their homes. around 270 flood warnings are in force — the majority in the midlands, east anglia and southern england. a major incident was declared in nottinghamshire along the banks of the river trent. the environment agency says levels on the trent were some of the highest seen in 2a years. flooded roads and railway tracks are bringing more delays for travellers. take a look at this map from the environment agency. it shows all the places that have alerts — you can see most of them are in southern, eastern and central england. live now to our correspondent danjohnson who's

in longford, gloucestershire. lots of properties flooded here. this place does get funding but they say they have not seen anything like this since 2007. although they were prepared for something they weren't expecting to see their homes affected this badly, this early in 2024. not every property here is flooded. they do have some flood defences. some of their houses are built at a little higher. the owners of that white house were telling us that their house so far has been safe. but look how people are having to wade through the main street here to wade through the main street here to get around. because the entire street here, they need street through the village, is flooded. it is only possible to get about by wading through the water, which does of course come with a risk. it is dangerous trudging through that flood water. there are some manhole covers, and drains and are dangerous. we have only been able to get you by following the centreline of the road. we had a diver sticks
