disruptive the threat of seeing disruptive snowfall in scotland will increase tomorrow as we will see in a moment. before we get there we have the rest of today, of course. the snow showers are coming through thick and fast, turning heavier and more frequent across the north—east of scotland and northern isles afternoon. snow showers coming through in northern ireland but not particularly heavy. for the vast majority of the country, we have clear, blue sunny skies, not that it does much for temperatures, below freezing across much of scotland and north—east england. tonight, more of the same with snow showers packing in with the snow continuing to accumulate and another widespread and sharp frost, —2, “4 quite widely, in rural areas even colder. tomorrow, across england and wales are quiet day after a frosty start. most of you have dry weather with spells of sunshine. another cold day with temperatures at best around three or four celsius but colder
1:31 pm
weather further north. three or four celsius but colder weatherfurther north. further three or four celsius but colder weather further north. further north weather further north. further north we have some problems. this little area of low pressure is running into all this cold air. it turns into a speu all this cold air. it turns into a spell of snow. mixed in with the area of low pressure there are different temperatures will stop across northern ireland, southern scotland, northern england you might find some snow turns back to rain at lower elevations but through the central lowlands and northern scotland we will see snow coming down heavily right down to lower elevations. a lot of snow as well. we will get something like 5—10 centimetres, some places could see 20 centimetres. that is going to cause a few problems for scotland during tomorrow. and then through the evening time we will start seeing some snow running into the higher elevation hills of northern england, more snow in scotland following. heavy snow for scotland including the central lowlands tomorrow. we are looking at a high risk of seeing some disruption. the hills of the southern uplands could have some problems. there snookered be heavy enough to is because some vehicles to be stranded. 0n into wednesday, more snow showers in the north, the weather system moving into the south. it gives us a
1:32 pm
tickling of snow and potentially across southern england. a good job because in europe we are looking at 20-30 because in europe we are looking at 20—30 centimetres of snow from the system. the main focus of the problems continues to be across more northern areas of the uk with further heavy snow, further icy conditions, further drifting of the snow in the strong winds. that, we are stuck in the deep freeze for another few days to come. however, as we get into the weekend and the early part of next week we start seeing the atlantic flexed its muscles and with that we see the return of rain and also some very strong winds, gales, even severe gales. we will swap the kind of disruption from cold snow disruption to wet and windy disruption into next week. thanks, chris. and that's bbc news at 0ne. you can keep up with all the latest developments on the bbc website. now its time to join our colleagues for the news where you are , goodbye. now its time to join our colleagues for the news where you are, goodbye.

hello and welcome to sportsday this monday lunchtime, live from the bbc sport centre. coming up on the programme: is it his last match at the australian open? andy murray hints it could be as he goes out in the opening round. naomi 0saka's long—awaited return to grand slam tennis ends in defeat, but there are plenty of positives to take. what does the future hold for manchester united, as sirjim ratcliffe attends his first match at old trafford since his big money investment? we take world, european and commonwealth gymnastics championjake jarman back to where it all began.
1:34 pm
welcome along. thank your forjoining us. andy murray says there's a "definite possibility" he's played his final australian open after losing in straight sets to argentina's tomas martin etcheverry. it was a subdued display by murray, who's now 36 and has lost eight of his past 12 matches, including the last four. before the tournament he hinted this might be his final year on the tour and repeated that sentiment after losing today 6—4 6—2 6—2. there is a definite possibility that could be the last time i play here. probably because of how the match went and everything. whilst you are playing the match you're obviously trying to control your emotions,
1:35 pm
focus on the point and everything, and then when you are one point away from the end you are like, i can believe this is over quickly. in comparison to the matches that i played here last year, it is the complete opposite feeling walking off the court. i wish i involved the crowd more, or disappointed with the way that i played and all of that stuff. yeah, tough. a tough way to finish. meanwhile, another beaten finalist in melbourne, daniil medvedev, who lost that five set epic to rafa nadal a couple of years ago, survived a scare today. the russian third seed fighting back from a set down before his opponent, terence atmane, retired because of cramp. medvedev led two sets to one when the french quaifier was forced to retire.
1:36 pm
naomi 0saka's return to grand slam tennis ended with a first—round loss to 16th seed caroline garcia. playing in herfirst major tournament since the 2022 us open following the birth of daughter, osaka put up a good fight, but ultimately fell to a 6—4 7—6 defeat. it's the first time 0saka, who won the title in melbourne in 2019 and 2021, has lost in the opening round. not such a good day for wimbledon champion marketa vondrousova, though. she is out of the tournament after suffering a straight sets defeat to ukrainian qualifier dayana yastremska. ranked seventh in the world, she's the highest seed to fall so far in round one. no problems for coco gauff. she cruised through her first grand slam match. the 19—year—old american, who won her maiden major title at the us open in september, won in straight sets against slovakia's anna karolina schmiedlova. i was nervous. ifeel like
1:37 pm
i was nervous. i feel like a i was nervous. ifeel like a lot i was nervous. i feel like a lot of my shots but you're confident in, when you're nervous there's always a second guessing feeling. finally i was able to let go and play free and put the ball deep. i was playing much deeper in the second set. she also made more errors, too. ijust freed up and everything started to fall into place. toto wolff has signed a three—year deal to stay on as team principal and chief executive of mercedes formula i. and chief executive of mercedes formula 1. he owns a third of mercedes. he has 18 constructors titles in eight seasons. he finished second behind red bull in 2023. what does the future hold for manchester united? their new co—owner sirjim ratcliffe has told fans they can expect to see him regularly at matches after he was in attendance for
1:38 pm
the sides 2—2 draw against spurs. he was sitting next to the club's legendary manager sir alex ferguson, following his £1.3 billion investment. taking charge of football operations, the deal will be ratified next month. 0n the pitch against tottenham they made a great start. rasmus hojlund with their opener. but richarlison hit back with his sixth goal in six league games, before marcus rashford restored united's lead. back amongst the goals — that will have pleased their new owner. but spurs got their equaliser at the start of the second half through rodrigo bentancur and that leaves them fifth. both sides now go into a short winter break. when you look at the team, or the players available now, you have some very exciting players. you have a crop of young players that are promising a lot for the future. this is an opportunity when it is not going in the direction you're hoping
1:39 pm
for the season, it is an opportunity to build a team that will do that in the future. will the leadership go for that? the future. will the leadership go forthat? i the future. will the leadership go for that? i really hope that they are going to look at these players and think this is something that a couple of years be competitive, competitive to man city, the way they played on saturday. that is the level you have to reach. you have to match that at a minimum in order to compete. there are three games at the africa cup of nations today. egypt's needed are mohammed salisu penalty to save their blushes, his crucial equaliser coming at the 97th minute. it finished 2—2 against mozambique.
1:40 pm
finally, you might remember last year british gymnast jake jarman starred with a brilliant world championship gold on the vault. in many of his interviews after he won the medal, jake explained how he was spotted by a complete stranger while swinging on the monkey bars in his local park in peterborough. they suggested he should give the sport a go and jake hasn't looked back. 0ur presenterjohn watson went to meet him and took him back to where it all began. so, here we are then, jake. show us what you were doing that day. what were the moves to got spotted? it might not look so impressive now, but swinging on these things. you go from one, and then... 50 but swinging on these things. you go from one, and then...— from one, and then... so this is for our old from one, and then... so this is for your old jake. _ from one, and then... so this is for your old jake, right _ from one, and then... so this is for your old jake, right now, _ from one, and then... so this is for your old jake, right now, is - from one, and then... so this is for your old jake, right now, is it? - your old jake, right now, is it? swing across, do a little spin. you were out with _ swing across, do a little spin. you were out with your— swing across, do a little spin. you were outwith your gran and she was were out with your gran and she was just taking you to the park.—

1:44 pm
shipping in the red sea, which have led most of the major shipping firms to divert theirfreighters away from the suez canal and around the southern cape of africa. the houthis, who are backed by iran, say they have been targeting israeli—linked ships on behalf of palestinians in gaza. the uk's defence secretary, grant shapps, says britain will now "wait and see" whether any more action should be taken against the houthis. the world sent a very clear message to the iranian—backed houthis. end your illegal and unjustified actions. stop risking innocent lives. cease threatening the global economy. we could not have been clearer with our warnings, which they chose to ignore, and enough was enough. labour party leader sir keir starmer has said he backed the air strikes, but wants the prime minister to make a detailed statement to the commons.
1:45 pm
the action that the government took in conjunction with the us is action that we support. what we now need to hear from the prime minister is the scope, the basis, the full reasoning behind the decision that he took and, of course, the question of whether more action may be needed and what processes will be put in place. so that statement should be this afternoon and i'd be expecting the prime minister to answer those questions. so what's the reality about britain's capabilities? our security correspondent frank gardner gave us his analysis of the defence secretary's speech. it was a quite sort of churchillian speech, i think. anyone would think we had this incredibly powerful navy. but the fact is that our navy is tiny these days compared to what it used to be, and tiny compared to the the multiple threats that it faces. it's not big enough to do all the tasks that's needed. there is no sign of the queen elizabeth. we've got these massively expensive — two aircraft carriers that have
