and wants his side to take the game to their opposition. how we defend will have to be different to how we defend in league one. but at the same time it is similar to the question i have been asked. i still have to give the players belief that i am not going to change how we play when we have the ball. there might be a different strategy because i see something different. but my players still have to see from me that i am not going to change the style of play because we are playing somebody so much different. we might have to defend slightly different but i still want my players to feel like we are at home, we have got our supporters. it is going to be a sell—out. we still have to play. chris kirk secured the first win of the 2024 pga tour season with victory at the sentry in maui, hawaii. the 38—year—old american put himself in to lead on the 17th. this approach helping him birdie the hole, and move ahead of sahith theegala. all he needed on the final hole was par, and this putt was enough to win him the tournament. a first victory since last yearfor kirk, but prior to that, mental health and addiction issues meant he hadn't won on the tour since 2019,

something he believes could have ended his career. the best thing that i have ever done in my life is to get sober so i understand what you are saying, but i don't feel like it is taking away from anything that i am accomplishing. it is 100% of the reason why i am able to do what i do. i have said that a lot but my pga tour career would have been over a while ago had i not gotten sober and so i am fine with that staying with me till the day i die. a great win for him. the jacksonville jaguars missed out on the nfl playoffs, with the buffalo bills and the pittsburgh steelers taking advantage. and the fallout begins forfailed campaigns. arthur smith paying the price at the atlanta falcons. head coach smith was sacked straight after their defeat by the new orleans saints. it came seconds into what's called black monday — a day synonymous with head coach changes.

i'm holding it right now, i'm holding it with all of my beautiful sisters in the film at this table over here and my mother, tantoo cardinal. standing on all of your shoulders. this is the first major awards since months of actors�* and writers�* strikes saw productions halted and red—carpet events cancelled. so for many here, they're glad to get back to the business of promoting their films — not to mention enjoying a party. it's a who's who of hollywood. the golden globes lived up to its reputation as a rather boozy affair — before stars even got in, there was a bar on the red carpet. with the rather more formal 0scars approaching in two months�* time, critics will be looking to see if 0ppenheimer will be toasting the same success. emma vardy, bbc news, beverly hills. earlier we heard from the film and tv critic rhianna dhillon. you can�*t really be disappointed by any win because they generally are

will keep across that story for you but we need to come back down to earth now. a retired postman has captured an unlikely little helper, on camera. rodney holbrook from powys set up a night camera in his shed to film a mouse cleaning up every night. this is a night—vision camera. it�*s a good helper was a mouse. he is very busy, picking up pegs, corks, nuts and bolts, tidying up as the night goes on. he has been given a nickname, the welsh tidy mouse. but heavy with us on bbc news. hello. there are still well over 100 flood warnings in force, so the flooding situation hasn�*t fully resolved itself, but things should improve over the next few days. today, though, the main talking point, isuppose, is the chance of seeing a few flurries of snow working
2:56 pm
in across parts of the east. it�*s not very exciting snow, to be honest with you. in most cases it�*s not going to settle, you�*lljust see a few flakes like this. in one or two areas, you might see an odd centimeter or two building in. i think the main threat, though, is that the weather could turn quite icy across these parts of east anglia and south—east england. the satellite picture shows extensive cloud cover today and with the winds continuing to blow in from the east, it does feel cold if you�*re out and about. a few showers coming into eastern areas of scotland, mostly falling as rain. we�*ve also got some rain showers moving in across northern ireland. it�*s a day where those temperatures are really struggling with highs between four and six degrees for most. heading into this evening and overnight, particularly where we�*ve seen showers by day, there�*s a risk of some ice developing, so east scotland, northern ireland, eastern and southern areas of england probably the iciest spots, if you like, but anywhere where we see water seeping in from those fields after that recent spell of very heavy rain could also have the roads
2:57 pm
and pavements turn pretty icy. tomorrow morning, another cold day, a frosty and icy start. we continue to see the winds coming in generally from an easterly direction. there should be a much better chance of seeing cloud breaks across parts of midlands, eastern and south—east england, there�*s a bit more sunshine here, but otherwise still probably quite a lot of cloud around, thick enough to continue to bring showers into eastern scotland and north—east england. little difference for the temperatures, it will be another very cold feeling day. the wind starts to turn more to a north—easterly direction on wednesday and that will push the cloud southwards, so most areas having a cloudy day. maybe a few breaks for northern ireland, west scotland, northwest england, but the best of the sunshine is most likely across southern counties of england. temperatures still below average for the time of year for most of us. really, as we look at the forecast through the rest of the week and into the weekend, it stays generally on the chilly side, with some further sharp morning frost to come. however, into next week, things get a bit more exciting. the winds come round to a more northerly direction. it stays cold, but there�*s
2:58 pm
an increasing threat next week that we could see some snow. that�*s the latest.
