she came straight back. so even though she might be lonely, she seems happy here. so for the time being sally hasn't got anywhere else to go. they really hope that a male swan will turn up this year and romance will blossom. until then, she only has a mirror image. phil mackie, bbc news, telford. most of us aren't going far from home in the current cold weather, but a beluga whale has made the long journey from arctic waters to shetland. locals have reported seeing the white whale off the west ayre beach in hillswick. it was also captured on a drone camera. belugas are on the endangered species list, with a population of only 150,000 in the wild. time for a look at the weather. here's elizabeth rizzini. hello, thank you, well, also in

shetland on slightly dry land we've had some lying snow, falling snow, drifting snow, blizzard —like conditions with brisk northerly winds. this was the scene yesterday, believe it or not it's even worse here today and there is an amber weather warning and force for snow. but for most of us this has been the picture, lots of blue sky, weak, wintry sunshine and the coldest night of the winter so far across england, wales and northern ireland. we are staying in the cold out today and tomorrow and then it tends a lot milder with as we head through the weekend. careful what you wish for, it's also going to be very wet and particularly windy especially on sunday, already weather warnings in force. now, this is the radar picture from earlier on today. you can see the snow showers piling into north—western areas of scotland, also some snow showers ford north facing coast but as the wind turns westerly these are likely to fade away. some snow showers through northern ireland and western wales but the amber force across the

northern isles and caithness, as much as 20 centimetres of snow. there will be blizzard —like conditions, very hazardous travelling conditions here. temperature is really struggling, 2-5 temperature is really struggling, 2—5 degrees celsius for most of us. overnight to make the snow showers will continue mostly across western areas of scotland with the jails in —— the change in wind direction, icy conditions across northern ireland and there could be freezing fog patches developing especially for the midlands and the eastern areas of wales. a sharp frost but not quite as cold as it was last night. it will certainly start to feel a bit less cold through the day tomorrow because we are drawing in more of a south—westerly wind so the snow showers across western scotland are likely to turn back to sleet and then rain except from across the highest ground of course. turning windier towards western what coasts, for many others it's a dry day, some a weak sunshine on offer, temperatures are slightly higher, five or six celsius but then it turns an awful lot milder. we see the high pressure drift awayjust

opening the gates for these atlantic systems to come in from the west so it's going to be wet and very windy, look at the squeeze on the isobars there, but most of us will wake up to a milder start on saturday, temperatures above freezing, rain pushing in from the west, strong, gusty winds, afternoon temperatures 9-10 c, gusty winds, afternoon temperatures 9—10 c, back into double figures towards the west. the outlook for the capital cities, warnings in place for much of the uk on sunday, a lot milder next week. just look at the difference in temperature. thanks, elizabeth. and that's bbc news at 0ne. hello and welcome to sportsday. it's the end of the road at the australian open for three british players, but cameron norrie's tournament continues in melbourne.

after a superb comeback to clinch a spotin after a superb comeback to clinch a spot in round three. jordan henderson's time in saudi arabia is coming to a close — his move to ajax is closing in. and england captain and world player of the year marlie packer talks to us on her incredible year, and she's hungry for more. for me to take over was a swift learning curve but one that i relished and loved every minute of it. hello, there, and welcome to sportsday. we start with british interest at the australian open. in raducanu had a tough time in his second round match, as did cameron norrie. different outcomes for them in

disappointment for others. 0ur correspondent andy swiss is with me in the studio. emma raducanu pretty much put up a resilient effort in her second—round match but it took its toll on the end. it match but it took its toll on the end. ,, ., ., ., ~' match but it took its toll on the end. ,, ., ., , end. it did. she had looked really aood in end. it did. she had looked really good in her _ end. it did. she had looked really good in her opening _ end. it did. she had looked really good in her opening round - end. it did. she had looked really good in her opening round and i good in her opening round and she would have had high hopes against the world number 94, not one of the top team players. but she struggled at first, losing a 6—4, 2—0 down in the second set but then came roaring back showing some of her very best tennis and the momentum seems to have swung when she took the second set 6—4. into a deciding set but she started struggling with illness and had to have a medical timeout. she was checked over by the doctor, she had her blood pressure checked at one point, she was clearly struggling. she said in her press conference afterwards that it was a bit of a stomach bug which had made herfeel weak and noxious but

it obviously took its toll. she battled valiantly but in the end wang yafan came through to win the match, winning the third set 6—4, so the chinese player winning in 3—sets. as for emma raducanu, she has been out for eight months with injury and may be that the lack of match sharpness ultimately caught up with her but she can take some encouragement out of her performances in melbourne to the rest of the season. lats performances in melbourne to the rest of the season.— rest of the season. lots of the other british _ rest of the season. lots of the other british players? - rest of the season. lots of the other british players? only - rest of the season. lots of the | other british players? only one rest of the season. lots of the - other british players? only one left and that is cameron _ other british players? only one left and that is cameron norrie - other british players? only one left| and that is cameron norrie although he had a really tough battle against a qualifier. cameron norrie lost the first two sets but came back to win the next three so he goes through to the next three so he goes through to the next three so he goes through to the next round. british hopes in the single is now resting on his shoulders. elsewhere, nojoy for

jack draper. he was beaten in four sets by tommy paul stop draper struggled physically in his opening round match, a gruelling five set match, and paul was to good for him. at 22, draper has plenty of opportunities. katie boulter, that was going to be a tough one for her against the 12th seed. katie boulter battled really hard but ultimately lost in straight sets 6—3, 6—3. a tough day for many of the british players in melbourne.— tough day for many of the british players in melbourne. thank you, aood to players in melbourne. thank you, good to speak — players in melbourne. thank you, good to speak to _ players in melbourne. thank you, good to speak to you. _ players in melbourne. thank you, good to speak to you. we - players in melbourne. thank you, good to speak to you. we will. good to speak to you. we will continue with the australian opening. the women's number one iga swiatek progressed, but former wimbledon champion elena rybakhina is out — she lost an epic to anna blinkova — the final—set tiebreak at 42 points becoming the longest in a singles match in grand slam history. no such dramas for men's world number two carlos alcaraz — who won in four sets against lorenzo sonego. the spaniard — who was pegged back at 1—1, giving credit to his pre—match music routine,

to get fired up and into the zone. before the match i always listen to i of the before the match i always listen to i of the tiger, heart 0n before the match i always listen to i of the tiger, heart on fire. that kind of music. it motivates me. a lot. i am a fan of rocky balboa. you have to love it. england midfielderjordan henderson is closing in on a permanent move to ajax — with his contract at saudi club al—ettifaq set to be terminated. the deal hasn't yet been concluded but reports have suggested he's unhappy at al—ettifaq and wants to return to europe. the 33 year old left liverpool to sign a three year contract in the middle east in the summer. henderson heading away from al ettifaq but bbc sport understands that the manager and former liverpool captain steven gerrard is set to extent his stay at the club. according to saudi sources, the club are preparing to announce a two year extension

to his contract. crystal palace manager roy hodgson has defended his decision to substitute one of his star players in last night's fa cup replay defeat to everton — at a time when his side were trailing byjust a goal. eberechi eze was brought off with half an hour of the game still remaining — and they didn't manage to get an equalising goal. the decision was met with boos and chants of "you don't know what you're doing" by the palace fans — but hodgson said he did it with saturday's match with arsenal in mind. we had to think very carefully about it, but the fact is, as i have rightly said, i appreciate for the fans it's a long way to come and we appreciate their support. i would have been disappointed to see eze go off because he is one of our best players that i would also have been extremely disappointed as a fan if he had played another 30 or 35 minutes, got injured in the process or put himself in a situation where he can't go out onto the field against arsenal. that would have

been extra disappointing for me. back in november, england's marlie packer was named world player of the year after leading her side to glory in the inaugural wxvi title. after taking over the captaincy following sarah hunter's retirement, she's said the last year has been a swift learning curve which has made her a better player. sara 0rchard has been to meet her. i kind of look back at it now, an incredible year with loads of learnings and a lot of self learning, as well, being england captain there is so much more to it thanjust, you know, being england captain, and i think, you know, as much credit as sarah hunter got i don't think she got as much for what she did do. she was relentless in everything she did and for me to take over was a swift learning curve, but one that i definitely relished and loved every minute of it. it has not changed me as a player on the pitch, if anything it has made me better. probably engage my brain a bit more and just, you

know, what i do is now even more important to watch the rest of the squad or other players look up to. i've got a great leadership group around me, and i can pull on them when i need them, but a lot of it comes down to then i have the last say on some stuff, and just getting used to that, that is the new role and actually we discuss things, work things out, but it lies with me on most of it. the england fly—half fin smith says his ears "pricked up" when he heard that 0wen farrell wasn't going to be part of the six nations team. smith is one of three number 10s in the squad — alongside george ford and marcus smith — after farrell ruled himself out of contention to prioritise his and his family's mental wellbeing. smith's been speaking to the bbc�*s felicity kvesic. when the news came out that 0wen wouldn't be involved in any way, i thought it could be a good opportunity and if i played well for the club and thought it would stand

me in good stead but always, especially with my lack of experience, when you see anyone and an international squad, it is always an international squad, it is always a pleasant surprise. you mentioned owen farrell- _ a pleasant surprise. you mentioned owen farrell. has— a pleasant surprise. you mentioned owen farrell. has he _ a pleasant surprise. you mentioned owen farrell. has he given - a pleasant surprise. you mentioned owen farrell. has he given you - a pleasant surprise. you mentioned owen farrell. has he given you any| 0wen farrell. has he given you any words of advice, supported you, and what has steve borthwick said about your opportunity now? i what has steve borthwick said about your opportunity now?— your opportunity now? i haven't soken your opportunity now? i haven't spoken to _ your opportunity now? i haven't spoken to owen. _ your opportunity now? i haven't spoken to owen. in _ your opportunity now? i haven't spoken to owen. in previous . your opportunity now? i haven't - spoken to owen. in previous camps we spoken to 0wen. in previous camps we trained together a lot and he helped me with things but not recently. steve wants just to keep, for me to keep what i'm doing, he says he has been impressed and i have got better at a lot of the things he has wanted me to work on, so he has been really impressed and now says he wants me to make sure what i'm doing at a club into camp and hopefully put my best foot forward for selection. you have been in _ best foot forward for selection. you have been in and around the mix the last year. are you confident it will be during the six nations? i would love to say — be during the six nations? i would love to say yes. — be during the six nations? i would love to say yes. i _ be during the six nations? i would love to say yes, i think _ be during the six nations? i would love to say yes, i think you - be during the six nations? i would love to say yes, i think you will. love to say yes, i think you will have to wait and see. i have got

opposition from peers. speaking in downing street this morning, he said it is an "urgent national priority" to deter migrants from coming to britain in small boats across the channel. the conservative party has come together, the rwanda bill has passed. it's now time for the lords to pass this bill too. this is an urgent national priority. the treaty with rwanda is signed and the legislation which deems rwanda a safe country has been passed unamended in our elected chamber. there's only one question — will the opposition and the appointed house of lords try and frustrate the will of the people as expressed by the elected house or will they get on board and do right thing? it's as simple as that. we have a plan and the plan is working. last year was the first year the number of small boat arrivals went down. notjust down by a bit, down by a third compared to crossings in the year before. that's in the context of arrivals

being up 80% in europe over the same period. but to really solve this problem, we need a clear and effective deterrent so that people know that if they come here illegally, they will be detained and swiftly removed. that's what this rwanda bill delivers. stephen kinnock is the shadow ministerfor immigration and labour. he's been giving his reaction to the prime minister's comments. the prime minister's performance at the press conference today was bizarre. very difficult to see what the point of that press conference really was. he is a weak prime minister leading a deeply divided party. we have seen shambolic warring factions in the conservative party over the last two days on the rwanda bill. what they should be doing is committing to labour's plan to really work with european partners to have a security partnership that will go after the current criminal gangs, after the criminal gangs, upstream, sharing data, breaking their business model. and rolling up their sleeves

and having some hard graft and common sense rather than these headline—chasing gimmicks
