north, temperatures the west and north, temperatures will drop away. they will be frost in places, some fog patches and with all the water we have in place right now, ice is likely to form. that could happenjust now, ice is likely to form. that could happen just about anywhere that you get those temperatures down to freezing or below. still, quite a lot of cloud and showery rain across central and eastern parts which will take time to clear, and rain across the northern isles where it will stay windy. but many spots will see more in the way of sunshine, the odd shower. temperatures coming down a little, five in aberdeen, nine in cardiff and plymouth. through saturday night it becomes widely cold, sunday morning star to below freezing in many locations, meaning frost, fog and ice. not quite as cold across the south—east, more cloud and a few showers perhaps grazing the south—east where it will be windy, but further north and west, largely dry with some spells of sunshine once any early fog has cleared. but it will be an cold

start, and that is the theme as we head into next week. high pressure brings is mostly dry weather but around the southern flank, it will turn very windy indeed, so across southern england and south wales, the strength of the wind will accentuate the cold feel. further north where the wind is lighter, there will be some mist and fog which will linger and make it feel cold as well. thanks, ben. and that's bbc news at six. you can keep up with all the latest developments on the bbc news website. now it's time to join our colleagues for the news where you are. goodbye. hello and welcome to sportsday. we're in the midst of five days of fa cup football, now more a week than just a weekend. sportsday picks out the best of the third round

among them, a rivalry reignited! a first wear—tynederby for nearly eight years. the first chapter of rafa nadal�*s comeback is over, beaten in brisbane. and with a possible new injury to contend with too. also coming up on sportsday. darts makes way for snooker at alexandra palace, we speak to two time masters champion neil robertson about both. the atmosphere is not that similar to between shots and really exciting match.

hello again. rafael nadal�*s 2024 is going to be scrutinised more than almost any other year, particularly while we aren't and he isn't100% sure it'll be his last. two victories in his first tournament after more than 11 months out were followed by a defeat, and potentially new injury in brisbane today. meanwhile in canberra, harriet dart reached the biggest final of her career so far. our tennis correspondent russell fuller is in australia. i think there was a hu-e i think there was a hu-e amount i think there was a hu-e amount of i think there was a huge amount of fati-ue in i think there was a huge amount of fatinue in the early stanes at fatigue in the early stages at set and there was a medical timeout which also is concerned over the next few days enjoyed in tom's having squared the match by saving

three match points in the second set and a lift from that editing this was almost inevitable in winning the first two matches in straight sets a little like he had really good opportunities to convert those match points but was not able to take them the length played its part and 25 minutes, doesn't matter if you are micro 137 he played any tournaments for nearly a year, that is going to be a struggle against the younger man and even though she played on after the medical timeout, and pointed out to the area which had the operation lastjune and there's quite a lot of concern because it is just match three of the come back. an extra significance to all sorts of rafael nadal year this time around and within his medical timeout, it is the same injury but it is not the same budgets the same part of his body. it is not the same budgets the same part of his body-—

it is not the same budgets the same part of his body. yes, the same area and he says — part of his body. yes, the same area and he says it _ part of his body. yes, the same area and he says it feels _ part of his body. yes, the same area and he says it feels completely - and he says it feels completely different when he had the chronic hip injury and the second round of the australian open last january, he said it felt drastic and something had gone very badly wrong words this time, he said he did not really feel anything and then gradually got more sore and says it's more muscular and hoping that if he wakes up tomorrow morning or leaves couple of days, he will be ok needs over exerted the muscle after year without the tournament but the artistry truth is he does not know and what did he say, honestly, i'm not100% sure he does not know and what did he say, honestly, i'm not 100% sure of anything. in the same way he was trying not to be too optimistic about this to earlier this becoming such a to a to be too pessimistic now because he feels that it was inevitable at some point it is just out keeping his fingers crossed that he has not strained or poured anything.

he has not strained or poured an hina. �* ., he has not strained or poured an hina. �* . ., anything. and the final career over in the camera _ anything. and the final career over in the camera area? _ anything. and the final career over in the camera area? a _ anything. and the final career over in the camera area? a bit - anything. and the final career over in the camera area? a bit of- in the camera area? a bit of explaining _ in the camera area? a bit of explaining its _ in the camera area? a bit of explaining its wta - in the camera area? a bit of explaining its wta series i in the camera area? a bit of. explaining its wta series event which means it is not necessarily a tour event but it almost fills that gap between the tour and the challenge circuit and a lot of good players take part and over the united states and another lasting three hours that it took them into the final where she will play and very strongly after a disappointing 2023, now she is starting that she very well and if she wins the title, should be very close to returning to the top 100 in the world but it would not affect or open plans because she is not ranked high enough to get to the draw so, whatever happens on saturday, should be headed to melbourne immediately afterwards to be competing in the open qualifier on monday.

the fa cup third round weekend is really more a week these days. it started on thursday night and finishes on monday. five days of what we're all contractually obliged to say will be filled with fa cup magic, the likes of which we've seen on countless occasions over the years. but nonetheless there is perhaps a growing perception that some clubs wouldn't mind all the drama taking place without them, with so many prioritising other matters. there are five premier league teams playing tonight. four of them might argue securing their top—flight status is what really concerns them. that could certainly apply to burnley, who are at spurs, perhaps the team tonight with genuine designs on winning this most famous of domestic trophies. conor mcnamara is there. condor, it is recent history that dictates that we have this conversation at this time of year and six changes in the early game

tonight and forfull and six changes in the early game tonight and for full them, their teams are making those changes with the wider perspective very much undermines.— the wider perspective very much undermines. ., , , w undermines. completely taking your noint, the undermines. completely taking your point. the magic— undermines. completely taking your point, the magic of _ undermines. completely taking your point, the magic of the _ undermines. completely taking your point, the magic of the fa _ undermines. completely taking your point, the magic of the fa cup - undermines. completely taking your point, the magic of the fa cup is - undermines. completely taking your point, the magic of the fa cup is a l point, the magic of the fa cup is a trademark behind it and does come and not for everyone. and get to choose a moment and we do not know where and it is inevitable that there will be a story in this fa cup weekend and almost always is and you are right, different priorities are different teams and may be if they feel they have to be 100% of their resources in the state of the premier lee, they might put out the teams in tottenham and get back in the title race premier lee, we want to keep our powder dry for that, however, for both of these teams just to get the fans happy for her

company winning the fa cup as a player, means a lot to him in the belgian company as manager and he knows this could propel them to bigger and better things, knows this could propel them to biggerand betterthings, notjust bigger and better things, not just to biggerand betterthings, notjust to go in but to get a good run into the latter stages of the competition. it has been well documented the injuries, being on the bench singing on a minute, loads of injuries to that a place for me, you have to blame india for cup tonight there are a few different factors but he gives a little bit of extra uncertainty if you are resting players, some youngsters trying to impress the libido magic you will but something sticks. shit impress the libido magic you will but something sticks.— impress the libido magic you will but something sticks. at the press conference. _ but something sticks. at the press conference, he _ but something sticks. at the press conference, he was _ but something sticks. at the press conference, he was asked - but something sticks. at the press conference, he was asked to - but something sticks. at the press i conference, he was asked to imagine the holding aloft a trophy and he has one plant in his time before coming to spurs but there is that element with the way spurs are playing in the forepart of the

competition, know what's going to want to try tottenham and the fa cup. want to try tottenham and the fa cu ., want to try tottenham and the fa cu. ,u, the feature game tomorrow shows how the fa cup can reignite rivalries starved of league football. newcastle were relegated from the premier league in 2016, and because sunderland were a year later when newcastle came back up, they haven't met in the time since. but now at a stadium of light that this week has been shown to be a little more welcoming to geordies than you might have expected, they play for a place in the fourth round. mark tulip has more. wait and to back delegations divide advance both clubs bragging rights. after dominating the time in the area, the fixture turned red and white wing since the last ten games. 0ver there the applicant, newcastle start this favourites but much is change since the draw stability chipping freak team in the top six

you were the people talk about and did so i make sure you win the game and that's how intense it gets. lee clark, part of the football news show dedicated to the third round of the fa cup, available on iplayer soon. so while the match at the stadium of light will be bitter, at the emirates, two big hitters — arsenal take on liverpool, with the premier league—leaders starting a week of two important cup ties. the second is against fulham in the first leg of their efl cup semifinal. managerjurgen klopp insists neither game is bigger than the other, and if his side are to have a successful season, then they need to know how to win both of them with the squad he has at his disposal. both are important because nothing in between and we want to win these games and we want to go through an eighth round and it is probably about the church control education

get and yet, the game there is a good one and we hope we can show a good one and we hope we can show a good performance as well. arsenal last won the fa cup in 2020 in mikel arteta's first season in charge. he admits to looking back fondly on that achievement and wants to match it. it isa it is a great feeling, a great experienced the title the way in this big history between these competitions are clubs and a big opportunity and make a beautiful journey. three non—league sides are still standing for round three, and for two of them, it's a rare appearance. partly that's because for maidstone, the lowest—ranked team left in the competition, and aldershot town, there hasn't been much chance for them to get this far. both are new incarnations of clubs that went out of business in the 19905. patrick gearey reports. 1992, the year the locks are changed

some of us have seen close to orjust above the average monthly rainfall already, and we're only five days into the month. but there is a glimmer of good news because high pressure is set to build as we look ahead, and that will quieten the weather story down. there is likely to be little significant rainfall for the foreseeable future. and we can see the first signs of that as we move into the weekend. yes, it's going to be a drier weekend. it will be a colder one as well. and with clear skies developing through the night, we could have some mist and fog first thing in the morning. favoured spots out to the west. a few scattered coastal showers through northern ireland, running down through the cheshire gap into west wales, and some nuisance cloud to the east of the pennines as well. now, we'll have some more significant showers across the northern isles and a stronger wind here, but not looking too bad into scotland generally.

5—9 degrees our afternoon highs, so the real cold air not arriving quite just yet. now, as we move through saturday evening, that nuisance cloud will start to break up a little. we'll see a freshening north—easterly breeze driving in a few showers across the essex and kent coast. clearer skies further west. that's where we'll see the lowest of the values and some frost and fog to greet us first thing on sunday morning. but that's where we'll start off with the best of the sunshine. this nuisance breeze could continue to drift in some cloud through east yorkshire, east anglia, down through the south—east. but further west, it'll be a dry, settled day with some sunshine coming through, but you might need a couple of extra layers as those temperatures are going to be just below the average for the time of year. so we're looking at highs of 3—6 degrees. now, as we look further ahead, the high pressure is set to establish itself as we go through the week, and it will drift its way a little bit further north—west. the isobars always slightly tighter packed south of that high. that's where the freshest of the winds are likely to be. but there'll be a good deal of dry weather with our week ahead once we've got rid of early morning frost
