some relatively yet, we have got some relatively quiet weather for many of us and cold as well. this is the picture as the sun went down a bit earlier on in yorkshire. some beautiful colours, very calm and serene for now, but as we head through the week and things are turning milder but also much windier. particularly sunday into monday as we see the arrival of the storm. various warnings are out. but let's look at this evening and overnight. in england and wales it is mainly largely dry and clear. rain sweeping in scotland and northern ireland and by dawn temperatures will be above freezing for many of us. a slight frost to start saturday, but the mild air moves its way in as the sweeps in from west to east. we start of saturday with rain in scotland and northern ireland. in the middle of the day it affects

northern england and wales and bright spells in the south—east of england and north—east scotland. temperature six or seven in the east, but we are back into double figures further west. then more heavy rain sweeps in from the west on saturday night and into sunday and that is when we start to see the arrival of this system here. you can see the proximity of the isobars means there will be very windy weather on sunday. rain in western parts of the uk, gail is developing in the afternoon, still some sunshine in the north—east and south—east, with temperatures up to about 12 or 13 for some of us. still chilly in the north of scotland. but we do have various amber warnings in force, the storm is set to cause some disruption, particularly in southern scotland, northern ireland and the south—east of england, we could see cuts of 70 to 80 miles an hour, so power cuts in travel disruption as possible. thanks, sarah. and that's the bbc news at six.

natalie pirks, bbc news, amsterdam. now, liverpool fans will have had their hearts in their mouths after seeing mo salah taken off with an injury in egypt's match against ghana in the africa cup of nations last night. his club manager, jurgen klopp said he didn't know how serious the situation was, but he will be fearful of losing his star player. it finished 2—2 in egypt's game against ghana yesterday, and there are three more fixtures today, including holders senegal taking on cameroon. we can cross live to bbc africa's celestine karonay, who's in abidjan. let's start with mo salah — what is the egypt camp saying about his injury? we've heard that his club manager doesn't know the extent of it. yes, information out of the egyptian camp here is that mo salah will probably miss the crucial final group match but only as a

precaution. the team feel his not that she's industry is not that serious, they don't feel he tore a muscle, but they want to keep them out of that game as a precaution. of course we are waiting to confirm that, but this really will be some good news for liverpool fans because they don't want to miss their star player to injury, but even egyptian fans are happy to hear that mo salah might not be able to play because they felt that the team played better when he was substituted in that match against ghana. now egypt have two points from two games, they must win their final group match to keep themselves in this competition. as we mentioned, there's three more fixtures today, talk us through these group b and c matches. in these group b and c matches. i�*i group b, the smallest nation at the africa cup of nations has become the first country to qualify for the lock—out phase. they beat mozambique 3-0 lock—out phase. they beat mozambique 3—0 and the fast bowler was a

massive strike from a0 yards out, giving them the lead in that match. and you know, it sent 5000 fans into rapture here at the stadium. and of course, now this means that they might have qualified ahead of powerhouses like ghana and egypt, so that'll be very interesting to see how that unfolds. now the other game thatis how that unfolds. now the other game that is currently under way is that senegal is leading 2—0 in cameroon, they could be the second nation here at the africa cup of nations to qualify for the knockout phase. so the defending champions look like they are set to keep their winning record here at the nation's cop. mi record here at the nation's cop. all right, thank you so much that

update. and of course, we'll keep you up—to—date with score. to matters closer to home now and — he hasn't played competitve football for eight months, but tomorrow, ivan toney will lead brentford out as captain in their match against nottingham forest. toney was banned after being found to have breached fa regulations, repeatedly placing bets on matches his own team were involved in, including backing his club to lose. he returns with brentford struggling for form — as patrick geary reports. few players make goal—scoring look more natural than a ivan toney. nonchalant as you like. last may, that routine _ nonchalant as you like. last may, that routine was _ nonchalant as you like. last may, that routine was interrupted. - nonchalant as you like. last may, that routine was interrupted. forl that routine was interrupted. for eight months, toney has been put on pause, punished for breaching betting rules — his club have started to suffer. this week's fa cup defeat tools was their seventh loss in nine games, three points above the relegation places. tomorrow against nottingham forest, toney will lead them against the

ben croucher isjoined by michael brown and former brentford manager mark warburton. it's available on the bbc iplayer. it's the fourth round of the scottish cup, with the potential for a few upsets. all eyes will be on aberdeen later, after their shock exit to darvel this time last year — they take on bottom of league two, clyde. while the old firm get their cup campaigns under way with celtic hosting highland league challengers buckie thistle and rangers travelling to dumbarton. jonathan sutherland is at clyde's ground, new douglas park for us. is there the width of a scottish cup shakib this evening as clyde take on aberdeen? they've won this competition seven times. possibly darl — 12 month ago, they dumped aberdeen out of the scottish cup and what is our ghibli the biggest shock in the history of this competition, and it's 150 in the history of this competition, and it's150 year existence. darvel were in the six tier of the club. clyde are bottom of leak two, five

points adrift— their primary aim of the season will be to stay in the s pfl, and aberdeen are sojekyll and hyde, back in december they beat eintracht frankfurt — but at the same time just eintracht frankfurt — but at the same timejust a eintracht frankfurt — but at the same time just a few weeks later, they lost at home 3—0 to st. mary's. anything can happen, clyde have cup shock pedigree, beating celtic in 2006. will we get another one tonight? the women's super league is back this evening, with leicester hosting aston villa. the league's been on its winter break, and we return at almost the halfway point — so seems like a good time to assess where the teams are. 0ur football reporter emma sanders has been across today's press conferences — starting with chelsea, who are missing key player sam kerr. they do have a big match ahead of them, up against manchester united, one of those teams who would be up there in terms of challenging for there in terms of challenging for the title. however they are seven points off, so you feel chelsea have got a real opportunity here to open

that gap and eliminate one of those title challengers. as you say, they are, without sam care, their big top score this season. but emma hayes said today she wasn't too fazed by it, she does have options in the squad, the young substitutes coming off the bench the season and scoring lots of goals, and also lauren james. so there are certain options but sam kerr has big shoulders to fill. young back it's definitely on, you look behind chelsea and you got arsenal. arsenal you feel will only get stronger because we've heard today that the manager says leah williamson could be back in contention to be in the squad next week— this lavishly comes after she's recovering from an acl injury. she's only eight months into what is

expected to be a nine—month recovery period, so she's doing very well and if she can come back into the squad, than arsenal really fancy their chancesin than arsenal really fancy their chances in this title race. manchester city fc got a tough game this weekend against a good local side that are currently level at points — but their home record has been really good, so you would fancy them to get some point. ibmd been really good, so you would fancy them to get some point.— them to get some point. and emma, at this oint in them to get some point. and emma, at this point in the — them to get some point. and emma, at this point in the season, _ them to get some point. and emma, at this point in the season, is _ them to get some point. and emma, at this point in the season, is it _ them to get some point. and emma, at this point in the season, is it fair- this point in the season, is it fair to say you can already see some problems for clubs in the lower half of the table?— of the table? definitely, i have a few worries _ of the table? definitely, i have a few worries for _ of the table? definitely, i have a few worries for everton. - of the table? definitely, i have a few worries for everton. they've | few worries for everton. they've struggled this season with some serious injuries — brian sorensen has had to work wonders with a club he's got, and it won't get easy for them because he says today that they are struggling to make an impact in the transfer market will stop they've got issues on the men's side, where they've been charged after financial breaches in the premier league, and he says that while that doesn't have an effect on his team, they still have to sell players in order to buy players. so the fact they are already low on

bodies particularly in defence, and they can't bring any players in, i'm quite concerned for them. let's have a quick look at some of the other stories making the headlines today. iraq stunned asian cup favourites japan to reach the knockout stages, after two goals from aymen hussein's in the first half. it means japan must now avoid defeat against indonesia in theirfinal group game, if they are to go through. cameron young hit a second round of 6a to sit three shots clear at the dubai dessert classic. the defending champion rory mcilroy struggled, he's ten shots off the lead. the top women's players will now earn £50,000 in the hundred, after the england and wales cricket board committed an extra £100,000 to each of the eight teams. all the salaries have been increased, with the lowest earners getting a £500 to £8,000 increase. prime minister rishi sunak says comments questioning women working as football pundits

are "ridiculous," and that it should be open to everyone. it follows former manchester city playerjoey barton criticising female pundits such as former player eni aluko, who says she's has received abuse and felt "genuinely scared". to australia now — where novak djokovic celebrated his 100th match at the australian open, with a dominant victory over tomas etcheverry to get through to the fourth round. while in the women's draw, there was a remarkable performance from 16—year—old russian mirra andreeva, who earned some praise from andy murray — as andy swiss explains. just 16 and just sensational — russia's mira andreeva cilla bring a comeback for the ages. she was all but beaten 5—1 down in the deciding set to diane parry — but watch this.

complete a maximum 1a7 break. seven—time world champion ronnie 0'sullivan will be the star attraction of the event in riyadh in march. former world champion ken doherty spoke to me earlier, and said the logistics of the golden ball inclusion were far from clear. i knew there were negotiations going on. yeah, it's a big tournament for snooker. i think they'll try and hold a ranking tournament there or two so it'll benefit the whole tour. but this is sort of dipping their toes into exploring snooker they are in a new territory. so i'm sure a lot of the players were playing in it will be excited about it. looking at these new _ it will be excited about it. looking at these new rules _ it will be excited about it. looking at these new rules and _ it will be excited about it. looking at these new rules and the - it will be excited about it. looking at these new rules and the prize l at these new rules and the prize money, as well, do you feel it's more of a gimmick, really? listen, it's something _ more of a gimmick, really? listen, it's something different. _ more of a gimmick, really? listen, it's something different. we - more of a gimmick, really? listen, it's something different. we won'tl it's something different. we won't know until it's actually played out

and see how it goes. but as traditionalists, i think the normal rules of snooker are perfect. i think snooker is in an exciting time at the moment — we just had one of the best masters that we've ever had, certainly the most attended. we had, certainly the most attended. we had a wonderful world championship, the viewing figures are up on the bbc, even on itv this week, all the figures are up exponentially over the last couple years. so snooker is going in the right direction, i don't think we need to change the rules, no. natasha jonas has said home advantage makes a big difference as she came in under—weight ahead of herfight against american mikaela mayer. the liverpudlian will defend her ibf welterweight title in her home city tomorrow night. at 39 years old, jonas easier made the weight at ten stone six — while mayer, who's taller, was five ounces heavier. 0ur reporter, ade adedoin was there for us and said, the stare down was intense.

medal match tomorrow. it's live on bbc sport and the red button. earlier, i spoke to captain holly pearne—webb, and began by asking her if she was disappointed they were in this position, following their loss to belgium? from yesterday, at this point in that game, i simply said we are here to do a job, which is to qualify for paris. so the opportunities for that were either yesterday or tomorrow, so we still have the opportunity to get the job so we still have the opportunity to get thejob done, which is so we still have the opportunity to get the job done, which is why we are here right now. and so i think reflecting on yesterday's game, disappointed we didn't get it over and done yesterday, but at the same time i think how we are playing right now gives us huge confidence going into a big match tomorrow. i’m going into a big match tomorrow. i'm lookin: going into a big match tomorrow. i'm looking ahead to tomorrow's match, it's winner takes all, so the stakes could not be higher. now on paper, team gb should win, but this is against ireland — this could be a grudge match with so much at stake,

how do you see it going? absolutely, on --aer how do you see it going? absolutely, on paper we — how do you see it going? absolutely, on paper we should, _ how do you see it going? absolutely, on paper we should, but _ how do you see it going? absolutely, on paper we should, but as _ how do you see it going? absolutely, on paper we should, but as you - how do you see it going? absolutely, | on paper we should, but as you know, it's a sport. that something we love about sport, it's not to do with paper but the day. ireland are a really good side and hugely passionate in times of trying to get the ticket, as are we. we want to get to those 0lympic the ticket, as are we. we want to get to those olympic games, as well, so i think both teams will have a lot of hunger and fire in their bellies, especially after the results we've had over the last few days. but a really good opponent, a really good test for us — we have a huge amount of confidence going into this game — but also not taking it lightly, we know ireland will be a really tough team to beat. £371 lightly, we know ireland will be a really tough team to beat. of course ou have really tough team to beat. of course you have hanging — really tough team to beat. of course you have hanging over— really tough team to beat. of course you have hanging over you _ really tough team to beat. of course you have hanging over you if - really tough team to beat. of course you have hanging over you if gb - really tough team to beat. of course you have hanging over you if gb do i you have hanging over you if gb do not win tomorrow, you won't be going to the olympics and it will be the first time since 2000 for the team won't be going to the olympics. is this something where you just have to do positive thoughts and banish that from your minds altogether —— 200a? i that from your minds altogether -- 2004? 1' that from your minds altogether -- 2004? ~ ,., ., .,

2004? i think so, at the end of the da at the 2004? i think so, at the end of the day at the hockey match, _ 2004? i think so, at the end of the day at the hockey match, which - 2004? i think so, at the end of the day at the hockey match, which is i day at the hockey match, which is what we all trained to do, where we all feel most comfortable. so i think it's just about taking as much as we can — obviously it's a huge occasion, but it's trying to take some of the emotion away and seeing it asjust a some of the emotion away and seeing it as just a hockey game that we want to win and know we can win if we are able to put our best foot forward and bring our a game. so i think it'sjust focusing forward and bring our a game. so i think it's just focusing on the present and thejob think it's just focusing on the present and the job we've got to do, and the moment in front of us, rather than thinking too far ahead. senegal have gone 3—1 up against cameroon in the last few minutes. just time to remind you of our top story — jordan henderson has officially signed for ajax, after leaving saudi pro club al etti—faq. that's all from sportsday. hello there, good evening. it's all change weather—wise as we head through this weekend.

it's been cold and wintry through the week, with snow showers in the north. sharp overnight frosts and lots of dry weather, some weak winter sunshine, too, on friday for many. but much milder—feeling conditions over the weekend, it's also going to be wet and very windy, with a named storm — stormy isha — on sunday night into monday morning, could cause some disruption from strong winds. why is it happening? well, the high pressure is pulling away towards the east, allowing atlantic fronts to roll in from the west, along with some much milder—feeling airjust streaming in from the southwest — marked in yellow here — displacing that cold, arctic air further northwards and eastwards. and there will be some more rain overnight tonight across western areas of scotland — some snowmelt, too, possibly still a little wintry over the higher ground. icy conditions for the far north of scotland. some more rain edging into western wales and into northwest england. temperatures towards eastern areas of england are likely to dip below freezing for a while, and then, rise again to just above freezing as we head into the start of the day tomorrow. so, we should be largely frost—free to start off saturday morning.

and then, tomorrow, some more outbreaks of rain across western wales, up through the pennines and possibly approaching western scotland by the end of the day. strong, gusty winds for irish sea coasts, gusting perhaps as high as 50—55 mph. lots of dry weather towards eastern areas here — temperatures will struggle to recover through the day, but further west, 9—10 celsius — so back up into double figures with that milder—feeling air. as we head through sunday, this is storm isha rolling in from the west. you can just see the squeeze on the isobars here — very strong, gusty winds, with the worst of them to come on sunday night into the first part of monday morning. but on sunday, the winds will start to pick out from the southwest turning more westerly. there'll be outbreaks of heavy rain, too, warnings in force across northwest england and southwest scotland. could be some localised flooding here, maybe. the air is mild — top temperatures between 9—13 celsius. now the whole of the uk is covered by a weather warning for strong winds, but of most concern are these areas here — they've been upgraded to an amber weather warning.

these warnings in force until 9am on monday morning. some gusts of wind could exceed 70—80 mph, particularly for exposed coasts. it's all likely to cause disruption if you are travelling on monday morning, so do keep an eye on the forecast. bye— bye.
