points with manchester united, but with a better goal difference. wolves remain iith. french rugby union side racing 92 have announced owen farrell will play for the side, meaning he won't be able to play for england. there's been widespread speculation about his future in the premiership, since he announced in november he was taking a break from the international game to prioritise his mental wellbeing. the french club announced the news on social media. farrell joins on a two—year deal starting this summer, having made more than 200 appearances for saracens in all competitions, winning six premiership titles and three european champions cups. farrell's replacement is england captainjamie george, england captain jamie george, who england captainjamie george, who says the rules about playing in france is very clear. w . playing in france is very clear. ., , , clear. each individual is very different — clear. each individual is very different. what _ clear. each individual is very different. what they - clear. each individual is very different. what they decide | clear. each individual is very i different. what they decide to do for themselves and their careers and their families is whatever�*s right for them. the rules are very clear — if you

england's task is still a huge one. no—one has won a test series in this country since 2012. if england are going to make a dent in india, one of the things — or a key factor in the things — or a key factor in the series — is can england's inexperienced bowling attack, particularly their spinners, get through what is such a star—studded indian batting line—up? so without virat kohli, england's chances may — i really stress may — have just dropped a percentage or two. to the play—offs in american football — the championship ties are set, with all eyes on the nfc clash between super bowl favourites the san francisco 49ers and the detroit lions. not many would have predicted the lions going so far, and daring to dream given how they've gone in previous campaigns. they defeated the tampa bay buccaneers, which has energised the city. it’s tampa bay buccaneers, which has energised the city.— energised the city. it's tough to capture —

from me and the team, thanks for watching. see you soon. hello. storm jocelyn is the latest named storm to come our way, through tuesday and into tuesday night. the storm system has been fired up by the same process which we saw with storm isha. cold arctic air recently across the eastern portion of the united states and in canada, big temperature contrast down towards florida, and that has really fired up an active and potent jet stream. and it's jet streams which have developed this low pressure system. this is jocelyn, not as potent as isha, but will still cross the country and have impacts. now, storm jocelyn is almost like a two stage storm. the winds will strengthen throughout tuesday, but by day it's the heavy rain which could have its greatest impact across parts of scotland, north—west england, north—west wales. and then into the night the winds start to peak with the worst of them across the northern half of the uk. by contrast, out there
3:56 am
to start the day on tuesday, fairly quiet start. earlier frost will have gone across eastern areas as temperatures rise, clear and bright here to begin with with some high cloud around, but in the west already mild, windy and wet. some heavy rain at times in northern ireland throughout much of the day, clearing into the late afternoon. some of the heaviest, most persistent rain, though, setting up across the hills of southwest scotland, also into parts of cumbria, yorkshire, dales and north—west wales. it's here where there's a real risk of flooding. rain will have pushed across all parts, turning a bit drizzlier, that rain across the south later and lots of low cloud. very mild but very windy to end the day. and it's into the night where winds will strengthen further. met office amber warning across the north and west scotland. we're expecting some of the greatest impacts and gusts of wind in excess of 80mph. so let me take you through tuesday night. there's jocelyn passing to the north. the isobars really packing in once the worst of the heavy rain's out the way and the winds strengthen right the way through into the start of wednesday morning rush hour, particularly in scotland. those winds will gradually ease there and impacts
3:57 am
could still be ongoing, but wednesday, it's almost a repeat of what we saw on monday — a lot more in the way of dry and sunny weather around, a few showers in the north, and then clouding over across the south with some drizzle in cornwall later in the day. overall, a fresher day than tuesday. a fresher night, then with a touch of frost in the north—east of the country as we go through into thursday. these next weather fronts that are pushing not quite as potent as we've seen so far this week. it will bring lots of cloud across the country. damp and drizzly, around some western coast and some of the heavier bursts of rain at times in the west, but a bit more erratic and not as windy as it will be during the next 36 hours. take care.
