winter warmth and winter storms with some winter warmth. it looks likely that we are going to not see the weather. i don't know if you can see me or not but hear me but i'll hand back to then and maybe the cameras will sort themselves out. here we go. let's try that again. so, we swapped winter storms for some winter warmth. swapped winter storms for some winterwarmth. let's swapped winter storms for some winter warmth. let's take a look at what's happening in iberia at the moment. we've seen some extreme heat here. this temperature in valencia of 28 degrees, 82 fahrenheit, is way above where it should be for this time of year, their averages around 16 degrees. some of that warmth is spreading across the pyrenees up into france and eventually across the uk so today, we are likely to see a few places seeing highs of 13 celsius, way above where it should be for us as well, but it does come at a price. it's not that sunny. we have quite a lot of cloud around at the moment. it's pretty damp out
1:32 pm
there as well. in north wales we got some drizzle around and that's going to lingerfor much some drizzle around and that's going to linger for much of the day. so some drizzly outbreaks of rain across wales, stretching up into the north of england as well and the south—westerly flow continues to feed and the loss of moisture, some poor visibility here as well. in terms of the feel of things, mild for all of us, temperatures 10—13. through the night tonight the weather front is through the night tonight the weatherfront is going through the night tonight the weather front is going to slowly push its way steadily eastwards. it's going to be moved out of the way by this cold front basically. cold front, remember that, way by this cold front basically. cold front, rememberthat, it's going to introduce some fresh air across the country so for a time there will be some rain, so that quite heavy right across the country, moving its way steadily eastwards. behind it quite a clearance with some wintry showers pushing on to the far north and west of scotland, mostly wintry to the hills but here temperatures low single figures again so a chilly start. we mightjust continue to see double digits first thing in the morning across the far south and east as that rain quickly clears away and then this ridge of high
1:33 pm
pressure is set to build and that will quieten the weather story down. that's certainly going to come as welcome news. gales are likely in the far north and west, a frequent rash of showers here. more sunshine with the high pressure across england and wales and in terms of the feel of things, not quite as warm but still temperatures pretty promising for this time of year. hide between seven and nine degrees. i'm glad that's over! back to ben. i'm glad that's over! back to ben. i'm glad that's over! back to ben. i think the gales have been blowing around the cameras in the studio! thank you very much, louise. and that's bbc news at one. you can keep up with all the latest developments on the bbc website. now it's time to join our colleagues for the news where you are. have a very good afternoon. hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm gavin ramjaun. a decent innings from captain ben stokes is the best it gets for england,

on the opening day of the first test against india aryna sabalenka has the chance to defend her australian open title — after coming through a tough semifinal against coco gauff. and swansea have their sights set on an upset at bournemouth — as the fa cup fourth round gets underway later. hello — and welcome along to sportsday this lunchtime. winning a test series in india, is regarded as the biggest challenge in cricket — england the last side to do it, back in 2012 but their chance of repeating that has already been dented by a shaky start in the opening test, in hyderabad. they lost three wickets in five balls before lunch — zak crawley one of ravi—chandran ashwin�*s two victims and things didn't improve
1:35 pm
for england afterwards, more quick wickets falling — jonny bairstow out to a stunning delivery. captain ben stokes was playing for the first time since having knee surgery in november — and he marshalled the tail, top—scoring with 70 but england were all out for 246 and india raced to 119—1 in reply, yashasvi jaiswal with an unbeaten 76, on an action—packed day. also an action packed encounter between two of the best in women's tennis earlier, at the australian open. the defending champion aryna sabalenka got revenge over coco gauff... the american having beaten her in the final of the us open last year. but the dream's over for the ukrainian qualifier, in the other tie. andy swiss reports. out for revenge, the last time irena savill in cat faced coco gauff in last year's open final, it was the american that edge debt, and the rematch proved predictably tense. in
1:36 pm
the first set went to a tie—break, aryna sabalenka struck. the defending champion seized it, but could she seize the match? coco gauff was not done, the second set was equally tight, but at four games all, aryna sabalenka secured the crucial break. the belarusian was on the brink, and moments later, victory was hers. aryna sabalenka, the first woman to reach consecutive final since serena williams in 2017 after another impressive display. so who will she now face? 12 seed and ukrainian qualifier yastremska where in uncharted territory. but she settled for six — four. but yastremska has been another remarkable run, she threatened a
1:37 pm
comeback but the hopes faded as she placed her way to a third grand slam final, a decade after her idol, china has another chance of another australian open champion. after her defeat, it was pointed out to gauff that this was her last major as a teenager — she turns 20 in march — and she was asked if she was satisfied with how far she'd progressed in the majors she's played so far. i tend to be hard on myself, ifelt like today, i was like, dang. looking back after all this stage of my life, it was obvious they are successful time, my life, it was obvious they are successfultime, i my life, it was obvious they are successful time, i saw a statistic that i am up there with serena with their wins. that i am up there with serena with theirwins. i that i am up there with serena with their wins. i saw that and it made me feel like, i don't know, ifeel like the glass is half empty. negative, and then i look at the statistics, they had great careers, i'm in the right direction, so i

just have to remind myself, of the journey. and not so much of the moment. britain's alfie hewett is looking very impressive, as he defends his wheelchair singles title in melbourne. he beatjoachim gerard of belgium in straight sets, to reach the final. and he's also into the semi—finals of the doubles, with gordon reid — the pair have won the australian open four times in a row. swansea city will be hoping to kick off the fourth round of the fa cup with an upset tonight — they're away to premier league side bournemouth. swansea are having a mixed season — they're in the bottom half of the championship table, but they're still in the cup thanks to a straight—forward win over morecambe. however, they haven't beaten bournemouth in their last 12 meetings — a run going back to 2007 — so it's a big ask for them, although they see only positives of progressing in the fa cup. it would be, it would be a brilliant way to encourage the team, you know, for me. it would be a brilliant way for me. it would be a brilliant way for the fans to have something really exciting to look forward to.
1:39 pm
so it's really important. depending on the position that you are in in the league, the cup can become a problem or it can become a relief. certainly for us, i think it would be brilliant and i would really like to see more outcomes in every game at the moment because i am still learning about the group. it would be good. the hosts ivory coast have scraped through to the last 16 of the africa cup of nations, after the final round of group games. they made it as one of the four best third—placed teams, thanks to morocco, who beat zambia 1—0 and sent them home. zambia only needed a point — but chelsea midfielder hakim ziyech, currently on loan at turkish club galatasaray, scored the only goal of the game, sending morocco through as group winners. and they'll face south africa for a place in the quarterfinals. here are the rest of the fixtures in the first knock—out round... a big tie to look forward to, on saturday when it all gets under way — between rivals three time winners nigeria and cameroon, who've won it 5 times.... perhaps the pick of the ties —

the holders against the hosts — where senegal await ivory coast on monday. the surge in popularity of women's football has been demonstrated by the latest figures from deloitte�*s sports business group. they show average revenues of the top 15 clubs in europe grew by 61 per cent last season. women's sport lead amy clarke says there's been an explosion of interest in the women's game and clubs are looking to grow sustainably in their own right, not relying on the men's teams. in the men's game, this time, we have seen commercial overtake broadcast in terms of revenue which has long been the highest driver in men's football. we've always said that women's football should copy the template of the men's game and this proves that point perfectly with the mains having to diversify five financial sustainability now that they can't rely on the central broadcast contract. the women's game has always had to think about the business differently in terms of tapping into the fan base, and trying to grow from a sort of
1:41 pm
relatively low base. but we are seeing even within the same league, that clubs have diverse revenue streams, for example in wsl, we have man united who are making a significant proportion of revenue from commercial revenue streams whereas in the same league, we have arsenal, whose highest proportion of revenue came match day as they hit record crowds in the emirates in the season. we're counting down to the start of the six nations championship. scotland play their first game away to wales on saturday week. co—captain finn russell has had his problems, including a well—documented falling out with head coach gregor townsend, which saw him dropped from the squad. but they've healed their rift and russell will be co—captain for the competition. he's suggested their issues could even drive the team on to a title, and he's desperate for success. we've had sort of high expectations around about these competitions, the six nations, the world cups, we've never won anything. we've had some
1:42 pm
big results, you know, we have beaten england away, we've beaten them at home, we beat france away we've had a few big results for scotland which is brilliant, but was never won anything, have we? these one—off games are great to win, but as a group, we are desperate to win as a group, we are desperate to win a trophy. sixteen—year—old briton zak carrick—smith has won his second gold medal at the youth olympic games in gangwon, south korea. he was in third place after the first run, but a blistering second gave him the victory. he said it was "unbelievable". carrick—smith also took silver in the giant slalom and he has the chance of another medal tomorrow, in the parallel team event, alongside molly burton. that's on top of the combined gold he'd already won, which made him the first briton to win a title in an olympic alpine event. england's callum shinkwin stormed into the lead on day one of the ras al khaimah championship in the uae. he had i! birdies and just one dropped shot, in a sensational opening round of 62, that left him two shots clear of the field. shinkwin is looking for his third

win on the european tour. you can get all the latest sports news at from the bbc sport app, orfrom our website — that's bbc.co.uk/sport. from me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, goodbye. back to our top story this hour the killer who stabbed to death three people in nottingham has been told by a judge he will �*very probably�* spend the rest of his life in a high security hospital. valdo calocane was suffering paranoid schizophrenia when he killed two students — barnaby webber and grace o'malley—kumar — and a school caretaker, ian coates. relatives of the victims say they are angry calocane was convicted on a charge of manslaughter through diminished responsibility instead of murder. we'v got a short clip from barnaby webber�*s mother speaking earlier today.
1:44 pm
true justice has not been served today. we as a devastated family have been let down by multiple agency failings and ineffectiveness. the cps did not consult with us as has been reported. instead, we have been rushed, he sent and railroaded. the first meeting we had at them at our behest was friday the 24th of november, a few short days before the pre—trial plea hearing on the 28th. forthe the pre—trial plea hearing on the 28th. for the record, they had suggested meeting us one hour before on the morning of the pre—trial hearing, we felt it was too late. we were presented with the fate of a complete that the decision had been to accept manslaughter charges, at no point during the previous five and a half months will be given any indication that this could conclude indication that this could conclude in anything other than murder. we trusted in our system, foolishly, as it turns out. we do not dispute that the murderer is mentally unwell and has been for a number of years. however, the premeditated planning, the collection of lethal weapons,
1:45 pm
hiding in the shadows and brutality of the attacks are that of an individual who knew exactly what he was doing, he knew entirely that it was doing, he knew entirely that it was wrong, but he did it anyway. to the middle east, israel has denied accusations that it hit a united nations facility in southern gaza on wednesday, killing at least 12 people and wounding more than 75. the israeli military said the incident was not caused by an air or artillery strike by its forces. the training centre in khan younis was sheltering a large numbers of palestinians who've been forced from their homes. intense fighting has continued in the area, which is crowded with tens of thousands of displaced civilians. in australia — two statues of colonial figures have been vandalised — ahead of the country's contentious national holiday. a monument honouring the british explorer james cook, who mapped the east coast of australia and claimed it for britain, was cut at the ankles and defaced in melbourne. and a nearby statue of queen victoria was splashed with red paint.
