northern and western scotland across northern and western scotland but further south got clearer spells and we will see temperatures down to freezing or below in some parts of england and wales, so a chilly and bright start in the south, variable cloud but further north it's all about the front moving in that will bring heavy rain and gales as well and just look at the gusts that we could see 85 or 90 mph in the northern isles into the far north of mainland scotland as well, so could be some hail and thunder on the band of rain as it tracks southwards and gusts of 60 miles an hour in northern ireland so disruptive weather in the north with wind and rain but further south are different picture, sunny spells and most missing temperatures between eight and 10 degrees. the rain shifts gradually further south as we had through wednesday evening and overnight into thursday the frontal system is out of the way and it is high pressure that builds behind it, so we are in for a drier, quieter day by the time we get to thursday and still some rain in the north

west, sunny spells further south but do be prepared for strong and destructive winds tomorrow across scotland. thanks sarah. and that's bbc news at six. now it's time to join our colleagues for the news where you are, goodbye. hello and welcome to sportsday. this could be a pivotal week in the premier league. can arsenal get back on track at the city ground tonight? he's back in the fold after his belfast break, but has rashford gone off the rails at manchester united? hejust he just needs to relax, calm hejust needs to relax, calm down, choose when to go out and go out and play football at the levels which we know he can. and another blow for england ahead of the six nations championship, marcus smith is injured and will miss the start of the tournament.

that kyle walker will continue to captain the side despite recent revelations about his private life. he was also asked about his position, in light ofjurgen klopp's decision to leave liverpool at the end of the season. he's quite happy where he is. i have everything a manager could dream. i have everything. they support me, we've changed a lot of players in the seven years but all of them have been incredibly supportive, good environment, so i have everything. so still i'm... i feel good, and of course one day it's going to finish, but i don't think about that right now. so guardiola seems content, eric ten hag can only dream of such harmony at manchester united. marcus rashford the latest problem he's had to deal with, he was dropped from the side for their cup win over the weekend. he'd missed training

away from each other. so i think it's really fascinating league this year. and the premier league has always been a tough league, it really has. but i think it's been this year in particular has been tougher than any other season. the likes of when you play crystal policy or you pay plate full of them, you play any of the teams, the teams in the bottom, forest, arsenal, they're going to have to play well tonight to be for us. —— forest. play well tonight to be for us. -- forest. �* , ., ., ., forest. arsenal have had their wobble haven't _ forest. arsenal have had their wobble haven't they? - forest. arsenal have had their wobble haven't they? you'lli forest. arsenal have had their i wobble haven't they? you'll see forest. arsenal have had their - wobble haven't they? you'll see them at close quarters tonight, glenn, do you think they can get back up there with liverpool and city? i think they can- _ with liverpool and city? i think they can- the _ with liverpool and city? i think they can. the city _ with liverpool and city? i think they can. the city have - with liverpool and city? i think they can. the city have got - with liverpool and city? i think. they can. the city have got their best players back again but they are the strongest and deepest squad. arsenal at the same, spores are going to go through that lack of

injury and so it's a long season. i've always said it's a grand national, you know, 30 days of games, used to be 42 in my game but 38 games. there is ups and downs but teams go through good spells, bad spells. it's how you react from the bad spell and i think this is where arsenal really have got to show their mettle. they got to back it up with what is a tough game at city grounds tonight.— with what is a tough game at city grounds tonight. keep on top of that match and the _ grounds tonight. keep on top of that match and the other _ grounds tonight. keep on top of that match and the other premier- match and the other premier league games on the bbc sports website. south korea got their noses in front against saudi arabia, the asian cup and a penalty shoot—out there to reach the quarters, but from me 0lly foster and the rest of the sports day team, bye for now.

live from london. this is bbc news. a deal agreed in northern ireland. power sharing in northern ireland could return matter of days — after a two year stoppage — as a new deal is struck on post—brexit trade rules. president biden says he's decided how to respond to the drone attack that killed three american troops injordan, but cautions against a wider war in the middle east. france's president calls for the european union to control ukrainian agricultural imports — as angry farmers block motorways into paris.

and — could a new microchip help people control electronic devices with the power of their mind? hello, welcome to the programme. we start with a significant political breakthrough in northern ireland — one that could pave the way to a return to power—sharing at the devolved assembly in stormont. it comes after the biggest unionist party, the dup, backed a british government deal aimed at soothing concerns over trading rules — that came into force after brexit. government at stormont has been suspended for nearly two years, after the dup walked out in protest over what it said were trade barriers between northern ireland and the rest of the uk. it's not yet clear what exactly what's in the deal, but it won't change the basic settlement

between the uk and the eu, as sara girvin reports.
