few patches of rain the chance of a few patches of rain across england and wales and you might see the odd flurry and from that the main issue is that it turns icy and a widespread frost with lowest temperatures down to —8 and one of the while the snow showers get heavier in northern areas of scotland and they will continue through the day with another good five or ten centimetres expected in places, maybe a bit more in one or two spots in some snow showers as well for northern ireland and some accumulations here possible, particularly over the hills and it's another day where it will stay cold. you might see a few showers for western parts of wales in one or two coming into kent but hopefully the worst of the precipitation should stay in the english channel and in europe. into thursday's forecast, more of the same on another day of sparkling sunshine, freezing cold again and we still have heavy snow showers piling into the west and north of scotland with fewer that accumulations, we expect more disruption. if you are fed up of the cold and snowy weather, look at the

temperatures as we head into the next week as we see the return of gales, heavy rain but it is milder. that's it from the bbc news at six. time tojoin our that's it from the bbc news at six. time to join our colleagues at the news where you are. good evening to you. coming up on the programme: hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm sarah. "extra sweet" says raducanu on her winning return to grand slam action, where it was also a good day for three other britons in melbourne. the premier league's chief says a date has been set for the hearing into manchester city's alleged breaches of financial rules. and england manager sarina wiegman says she has "unfinished business" as she signs a new contract until 2027. also coming up on sportsday... a shock move from rugby union to american football — for wales�* young star louis rees zammit.

and seven—time paralympic gold medallist hannah cockroft tells us disabled people in britain are being "almost criminalised" in the way they are treated. i still can't catch a train if there is no one there with the ramp. i still can't catch a bus with my boyfriend. i still can't enter a shop if i've got to step into it. welcome along to the programme. we'll start in melbourne, as it was a busy and mostly positive day for the british players at the australian open. dan evans, was the only one not to progress in the singles, he beaten in four sets by lorenzo sonego on his return from injury, but there were good showings from cameron norrie, who had a straight sets win over juan pablo varrillas,

and jack draper, who battled the heat and sickness to beat marcos giron over five sets. in the women's draw british number one — katie boulter was tested, but came through in straight sets against yue yuan, while a lot of the focus was undoubtedly on 2021 us open champion emma raducanu, back in grand slam action for the first time in 12 months. she beat american shelby rogers in what she described as an "extra sweet" win. raducanu has missed eight months of action after wrist and ankle surgeries but looked confident and in control in the straight sets win over rogers, who's also had her injury troubles over the past year. raducanu taking the first set 6—3. the former british number one, now ranked 296th in the world, didn't face a break—point in the match and served strongly throughout in front of a packed outside court. she took the second set 6—2 to win the match and will face china's wang yafan in the next round.

soa so a good day, then, for emma raducanu who will meet —— ——so a win for raducanu — who will meet katie boulter in the third round if they both win their next matches.as for the men —jack draper, who was unwell after his match, said it was down to psychological stress, and norrie said he did the "basics well" in his straight sets win. earlier, i spoke to our tennis correspondent russell fuller in melbourne. i think it was another of those encouraging performances from emma raducanu, the fact that she's now played three matches and she's won two of them and she's moved well and played well in all of the matches is a really good start when you think that she hadn't played for over eight months and had three different operations in may. i think the test batch shall be rogers was able to give her was limited, that is because rogers herself has been away from the tour for a long time. because rogers herself has been away from the tourfor a long time. in fact that was her first match since wimbledon. so she was very, very

rusty. but emma raducanu one comfortably. it never really felt close, and now she's got a shot at a second round match against a player of china. not the seeded player she was expecting to face. katie bulger�*s match was a lot tighter. similarly ranked, both in good form in the early weeks of the season, and two tight sets was another good step forward for her as she tries to continue her push up the rankings. if we look at the british men in actions, dan evans is out, jack draper, though, pushed all the way and suffered right at the end. jack dra er is and suffered right at the end. i:c< draper is stealing all and suffered right at the end. i:c«1 draper is stealing all the headlines for vomiting and abandoned by the side of the court. after shaking the hand of marcus, you might note, that he was very keen to shake his hand, but he was saying if you don't get to annette and i hurry, this might not happen because he had other

things to attend to. he was talking afterwards about, yes, the heat clearly must have played our parts. it was 31 celsius. he had his blood pressure checked, he talked about tightness in his chest, it didn't look at all promising when he was two sets to one down, but he feels that that is actually stress—related and he's had it at times in his career and it is the extra stress of a grand slam that makes him struggle with his breathing. it's something he's constantly working on. given his physical problems that have certainly held him back in the first few years of his career, for him to come back from two sets to one down to beat the player like the muscular marcusjerome and a grand slam is a huge feather in his cap. cam and ray's when was much more straightforward, a few concerns over her left wrist problem, he went in straight sets of peru.— her left wrist problem, he went in straight sets of peru. before we let ou no, a straight sets of peru. before we let you go. a coume — straight sets of peru. before we let you go. a coume of— straight sets of peru. before we let you go, a couple of shocks - straight sets of peru. before we let l you go, a couple of shocks yesterday in the wider draw, but it seemed much more straightforward for the

big names, the likes of carlos. yes. big names, the likes of carlos. yes, he had a tight _ big names, the likes of carlos. yes, he had a tight first _ big names, the likes of carlos. 133 he had a tight first set which he won in a tie—break but after that it was very straightforward as you say. and yet quite a match who is a champion here, repeating the french open final quite a tight first sets, one comfortably in the second, the mean match on the night schedule was meeting with the former world number one who's already won the title in brisbane this year. they skip the first round unscathed. everton manager sean dyche believes it isn't fair that his players are punished for the club's financial problems, following the news yesterday that they've been charged for breaching the premier league's profit and sustainability rules, along with nottingham forest. it follows the ten points that

everton have already been deducted, which they are appealing. these new cases must be heard by april eighth and the managers of both clubs have been speaking ahead of their fa cup replays tomorrow. i haven't got the menu shot of the rules and the regulations as for the powers that be in the lawyers and stuff like that sometimes, there's no on pitch advantage there. and on sanction, that is a tough one. now we hope there is better news coming out of the appeal, and the next bit comes along and if that is something that's encapsulated in all of that. who knows what comes next. i think we are all wondering and scratching our heads for a change in what is going on occurs and we get some points back and is looked at a bit differently. we are all concerned at the club,

but me _ we are all concerned at the club, but me as — we are all concerned at the club, but me as a _ we are all concerned at the club, but me as a coach, i have to think and to— but me as a coach, i have to think and to deal— but me as a coach, i have to think and to deal with that, myjob is clear— and to deal with that, myjob is clear to — and to deal with that, myjob is clear to prepare the team, we have a match _ clear to prepare the team, we have a match tomorrow, and this is what we are focused _ match tomorrow, and this is what we are focused on. well the premier league chief executive richard masters was in front of mps at the culture, media and sport committee today, where he said he understood why everton and nottingham forest fans might be frustrated. but he also confirmed that a date has been set for the hearing into manchester city's alleged breaches of financial rules, although he wouldn't reveal it. i spoke to the bbc sports editor dan roan about it earlier it's no real surprise was asked about the manchester city case, here you have a situation where the champions no less, the dominant force in the english game were charged with breaching financial rules by the premier league, more than 100 charges, in fact, almost a year ago now after an investigation

which began in 2018, it relates to a nine season starting in 2009, so it is a major case, this. city are still contesting those charges they are denying wrongdoings can assert ribozyme. no resolution in sight. contrast that with the situation confronting every ten, for example, who after being referred to an independent commission in march of last year have already been docked ten points having been found to have breached the perimeter of the's profit and sustainability rules. they've appealed. but now they find themselves charged for a second time of course. alongside nottingham forest. you can understand why fans of those two clubs perhaps they are treated somewhat differently to manchester city for example. and masters is asked about this today. he defended the process in effect, but he also made clear that the situations are very different, but

that he can understand frustrations of fans. i that he can understand frustrations of fans. .., , , that he can understand frustrations of fans. , , ., , of fans. i can, but they are very different charges. _ of fans. i can, but they are very different charges. that's - of fans. i can, but they are very different charges. that's all- of fans. i can, but they are very different charges. that's all i i different charges. that's all i would — different charges. that's all i would say. if any club, but that the current _ would say. if any club, but that the current champions or otherwise have been found _ current champions or otherwise have been found in breach of the standing rules, _ been found in breach of the standing rules, they— been found in breach of the standing rules, they would be in exactly the same _ rules, they would be in exactly the same position as every ten or nottingham forest, but the volume and character of the charges laid before _ and character of the charges laid before manchester city i obviously cannot _ before manchester city i obviously cannot talk about at all. it will be heard _ cannot talk about at all. it will be heard in — cannot talk about at all. it will be heard in a — cannot talk about at all. it will be heard in a completely different environment. there is a date set for that proceeding. unfortunately i can't _ that proceeding. unfortunately i can't tell— that proceeding. unfortunately i can't tell you when that is, but that— can't tell you when that is, but that is— can't tell you when that is, but that is progressing.— can't tell you when that is, but that is progressing. there were a ranue that is progressing. there were a ranae of that is progressing. there were a range of tonics — that is progressing. there were a range of topics that _ that is progressing. there were a range of topics that richard - that is progressing. there were a i range of topics that richard masters was talking about, notably after 10am nottingham forest as we have been talking about, and understanding the frustrations from the fans but also talking about transparency around the process. what more did he say?— transparency around the process. what more did he say? again, it's no surrise what more did he say? again, it's no surprise because _ what more did he say? again, it's no surprise because obviously _ what more did he say? again, it's no surprise because obviously everton i surprise because obviously everton had made clear their frustration with that statement yesterday

referring to what they call clear deficiency in the premier league rules. in effect, they are angry that what they see as facing double jeopardy, being punished potentially twice for the same offence. i think as well, and understanding the frustrations from the fans but also talking about transparency around the process. what more did he say? again, it's no surprise because obviously everton have made clear their frustration with that statement yesterday referring to what they call clear deficiency in the premier league rules. in fact, they are angry that what they see as facing doublejeopardy, being facing double jeopardy, being punished facing doublejeopardy, being punished potentially twice for the same offence. i think as well, mp is today focused in on this concern around points deductions for two reasons. there is the danger it punishes fans of teams, if they see their club has been docked points, four actions that have nothing to do with them for the spending decisions of owners, but this is obvious concern around the integrity of the league table. if you have teams docked points midseason, as we've seen with everton already, and there is also the prospect of appeals that could be resolved only after the season ends. we know there is that potential if, for example, everton appeal again or forest in their case. and clearly there could be some chaos at the end of season with teams not knowing where they stand. are they relegated or not? does it

depend on the results of these legal cases? masters in effect, as you can see now, sarah, defended the process saying that these rules are there for a good reason, to defendant —— to prevent reckless overspending. haste to prevent reckless overspending. we take our bill back very seriously. it is a _ take our bill back very seriously. it is a handshake between all 20 cubs— it is a handshake between all 20 cubs statement clubs. they look each other— cubs statement clubs. they look each other in _ cubs statement clubs. they look each other in the _ cubs statement clubs. they look each other in the eye and said we will comply— other in the eye and said we will comply with these roles, and expect the board _ comply with these roles, and expect the board to take action if they don't _ the board to take action if they don't comply. the way we have done it is that _ don't comply. the way we have done it is that the — don't comply. the way we have done it is that the planes have been deducted pending the appeal, so whatever— deducted pending the appeal, so whatever the appeal panel decides will then— whatever the appeal panel decides will then be, whatever the appeal panel decides willthen be, i'm whatever the appeal panel decides will then be, i'm assuming, whatever the appeal panel decides willthen be, i'm assuming, the final— willthen be, i'm assuming, the final deduction. that will be the asterix — final deduction. that will be the asterix that is then removed. it doesn't — asterix that is then removed. it doesn't really matter when it happens _ doesn't really matter when it happens as long as it happens in the season _ happens as long as it happens in the season. . ., , ., season. richard masters there at the dcms committee _ season. richard masters there at the dcms committee and _ season. richard masters there at the dcms committee and the _ season. richard masters there at the dcms committee and the bbc- season. richard masters there at the dcms committee and the bbc sports| dcms committee and the bbc sports editor explaining all of that. there are five fa cup third round replays tonight — and the pick of them is national league side — eastleigh up against league two's newport county. as the winners of the tie will travel to manchester united in the fourth round. an appearance there for either of these two clubs, would provide

a huge financial boost. and at the silverlake stadium for us ahead of kick off is our reporter lewis coombs. this has been billed as the biggest game and the for baca's history. not only have they got the chance of making the fourth round of the fa cup for the first time ever, they have not got the added curative knowing that if they do beats newport this evening, they've got a 12 time fa cup winner, from the european champions manchester united potentially visiting the silver lake stadium, and that promises to be a fantastic location for the fans here. they have never been enough the football league. currently 11th in the national league. they usually get around 2000 fans for the games, tonight, fa cup fever has hit. as a 5000 tickets sell out and be on fantastic location for the fans here. they have never been in the football league. currently 11th in the national league. they usually get around 2000 fans for the games, tonight, fa cup fever has hit. as a 5000 ticket sell—outs and the unenviable way that fan excitement

is being dampened. they absolutely know that tonight is an opportunity that doesn't come around too often. they are one game away from having manchester united at the silver lake stadium. let that sink in. kick off tonight is at 7:45 p:m.. tonight's televised match is at ashton gate as bristol city host david moyes's west ham. that's on bbc one. wolves will set up a black country derby against west brom if they beat premier league rivals brentford. league one's bolton host luton; and there's an all—championship clash as hull travel to birmingham. england manager sarina wiegman says she is "so happy" to have the chance to lead the lionesses through the next three years, after signing a new contract until 2027. wiegman started the role in september 2021, before winning the euros and reaching last year's world cup final. the new deal will keep her in charge for the 2027 world cup and she told the bbc�*s emma sanders that she has "unfinished business". we wa nt we want to be at the top level of

the game. making finals is very special anyway. the game. making finals is very specialanyway. but the game. making finals is very special anyway. but when you're in the final, of course, you want to win. that's not an easy task, but it is a huge challenge. we are in an environment that we all have changes all the time and i love these challenges. there is so much growth and opportunity, so i'm just really looking forward to it. let's have a quick look at some of the other stories making the headlines today. jose mourinho has been sacked by roma after two—and—half—years at the italian club. he led them to the europa conference league title in 2022. but with roma ninth in serie a, they've made a change, replacing mourinho with their former captain daniele de rossi. the family of england world cup winner nobby stiles, is part of a group taking legal action over brain injuries, allegedly suffered during their careers. the action against the fa, english football league, football association of wales and international football association board has reached the high court. at the africa cup of nations

around today's announcement that this tour will be going ahead in 2027. it comes off the back of a feasibility study that the lanes had been running to see if there was enough commercial interest in buying from unions. that has come back positive, although we want to actually see the published report. the question today actually come more around whether new zealand is actually the best place to go. yes, the black friends, they are world champions and had a successful world cup, but they don't perhaps have got real strong interest in gains for women's rugby away from that world cup. we are talking about big events they posted recently, also a domestic league called super rugby. the reason we are going to new zealand — the reason we are going to new zealand partly it's because it does best at— zealand partly it's because it does best at best, right? we went to have the best— best at best, right? we went to have the best players playing for the british — the best players playing for the british and irish liens against the best opposition, the black friends gives— best opposition, the black friends gives us— best opposition, the black friends gives us that. the best opposition, the black friends gives us that-— gives us that. the skies the limit connect will _ gives us that. the skies the limit connect will get _ gives us that. the skies the limit connect will get players - gives us that. the skies the limit connect will get players who - gives us that. the skies the limit connect will get players who are | connect will get players who are currently — connect will get players who are currently playing _ connect will get players who are currently playing now _ connect will get players who are currently playing now and - connect will get players who are currently playing now and the i currently playing now and the youngsters _ currently playing now and the youngsters up _ currently playing now and the youngsters up and _ currently playing now and the youngsters up and coming i currently playing now and the youngsters up and coming upj currently playing now and the - youngsters up and coming up pathway even more _ youngsters up and coming up pathway even more motivation _ youngsters up and coming up pathway even more motivation to _ youngsters up and coming up pathway even more motivation to train - even more motivation to train harder~ — even more motivation to train harder~ but _ even more motivation to train harder. but for— even more motivation to train harder. but for me, _ even more motivation to train

in their second game of qualifying to ensure their place in the last four. gb have one more game left of the pool stage against china on thursday. ali carter is through to the last 16 of the world grand prix after beating china's woo—yizzer in a deciding frame in leicester. elsewhere, shaun murphy beat john higgins by fourframes to nil. the masters champion ronnie o'sullivan begins his campaign later this evening. seven—time paralympic champion hannah cockroft says disabled people in britain are being "almost criminalised" in the way they are treated. her comments come following an open letter signed by 57 sporting bodies last week calling for the role of minister of state for disabled people to be reinstated, after it was downgraded tojunior level. cockroft has been speaking to the bbc�*s emma smith. it's of a scary place to be, i think pair olympians are almost seen as different to the rest of the disability community in a way that

we are sure of what we can do and everyone else with a disability seems to be shown almost criminalised for what they can't do or what they struggle to deal. and i almost feel like the statement puts us forward as one. i still can't catch a train if there is no one there with the ramp. i still can't catch a bus with my boyfriend. i still can't enter a shop if it's got to step into it. everything that affects other disabled people it still affects me no matter how quickly a push around the track. this is such a huge year, what are your— this is such a huge year, what are your goals — this is such a huge year, what are your goals for paris because make it seems _ your goals for paris because make it seems like — your goals for paris because make it seems like the barrier is still burning? _ seems like the barrier is still burnin: ? , , ., �* burning? definitely. i don't understand _ burning? definitely. i don't understand going - burning? definitely. i don't understand going to i burning? definitely. i don't understand going to major| understand going to major championships and not wanting to win gold. gold is definitely the game at paris. but i mean never got around championships before then injapan, and may. so if i can add some more

titles, that would be a fantastic start to the paralympic air. if the first time in my whole career that i have had two major championships in the same year. so it's actually a huge challenge this year to get everything right. in response, a government spokesperson told the bbc the new minister, mimi davies, who was appointed in december, will "build upon the government's track record of supporting disabled people" and help with "tearing down barriers so that every disabled person can realise their potential and thrive." and a recap of our top story today — it's british success at the australian open. four out of five progress into the second round in melbourne, and it's a winning return to grand slam tennis for emma raducanu. you can follow all of that live on the bbc�*s parts website and on five live radio. but from me and the

team, that's all. goodbye. hello there. it's been quite a snowy day across the northern half of the uk. further south, it's been cold, but largely dry with some sunshine, a little bit of variable cloud here and there. wednesday promises to be another largely sunny one towards the south, a bit more cloud around, i think, for southern britain. and we'll continue with the snow showers across northern coastal parts of scotland and into northern ireland. these weather fronts bringing this rain, sleet and snow to the north of the uk sinking southwards and weakening. so, during the overnight period, there'll be no more than a band of cloud running southwards across england and wales, maybe just a few snow flurries on it. and there could be the chance of this area of low pressure over france could push a bit further northwards to give some rain, sleet and snow to southern counties of england early on wednesday. the snow showers continue. northern scotland, northern ireland under clear skies. it's going to be very cold, a sharp frost across the northern half of the country. so, for wednesday, we've got that

feature running across france, which could affect the far south of the country. plenty of snow showers across northern coastal areas, so a bit more cloud, i think, in the mix across southern britain for wednesday. high cloud, greyer the further south you go, could see rain, sleet, snow close to the coast. chances of wintry showers for southeast england. frequent snow showers with ice for northern scotland, northern ireland, a few into the irish sea down towards northwest england and wales. and it's going to be a cold day wherever you are, despite the sunshine through central areas. for wednesday night, we see the wintry mix clearing away from the southeast, clear skies for many, snow showers draped across coastal areas. and that's where we'll see a significant ice risk, further inland under clear skies, light winds, it's going to be another very cold night to come. so, for thursday morning, we start off with plenty of crisp sunshine around, wintry showers around coastal areas, these most frequent across northern scotland and northern ireland. heavy snow showers here leading to significant accumulations of snow across northern scotland. central southern areas
