iran is responsible, and that is why iranian targets will be looked at in the coming hours and days at a time when america's choosing, he was thinking about the as, you are right, there will be no strikes on iranian soil. i think that was always seen as highly unlikely. the white house saying that they don't want a wider conflict. they don't want a wider conflict. they don't want to exacerbate things, but they do have to send a message, and, of course, that sending a message extends to a few different things in the middle east at the moment, notably the who the rebels who had been firing within you and out towards the red sea. they say they've been hitting ship sweats are links to israel, the us, the uk. —— houthi rebels. and they have been doing this and solidarity of the people of gaza, and they said it will continue to hit shipping until the fighting stops and israeli forces, clearly there is no sign of that happening at the moment, there are concerns with more military activity in the middle east, but

certainly america setting out how it will respond after those deadly attacks at the weekend, but say they do it in a calculated manner at the same time sending a message to iran that that sort of activity from their proxies will not be tolerated. now, the final day at the uk covid—19 inquiry in edinburgh looking at decision—making in scotland during the pandemic in the secretary of state for scotland gave evidence. alisterjack told the inquiry that he deleted all his whatsapp messages from during the pandemic to free up storage capacity on his phone in november 2021. he expressed regret and said he would not have done so if he could turn the clock back. nicholas turgeon said she never let your desire for scottish independence guide her handling of the pandemic. i scottish independence guide her handling of the pandemic. i watch that yesterday _ handling of the pandemic. i watch that yesterday and _ handling of the pandemic. i watch that yesterday and i _ handling of the pandemic. i watch that yesterday and i saw - handling of the pandemic. i watch that yesterday and i saw that i that yesterday and i saw that passage _ that yesterday and i saw that passage and i didn't believe it for a minute —

could now a record 8th title come at ferrari? if so, he'd become the first driver in history to win the world title with three different teams. but that is still a huge ask with max verstappen and red bull currently dominating. what's for certain, is fascinating times are ahead as natailie pirks reports: mercedes is the team where hamilton enjoyed his greatest success. but now he is ready for another chapter in his story, only this time in red. he is called leaving mercedes and of the hardest decisions he's ever had to make and added... is like a dream come true for him, i should _ is like a dream come true for him, i should imagine. because going to rerrarr — should imagine. because going to ferrari is — should imagine. because going to

yeah, it is massive news for the panic. i'm sure he's had a very busy phone today with everyone trying to sell themselves to him. the empty seat at mercedes if lewis doesn't want it, it is still a very attractive position for someone else. alex alvin is at williams at the moment. he would be one of the favourites to go into that seed, but there are plenty of really strong candidates around. at the end of this year, there where a lot of drivers with contracts up for renewal. this has made it a little bit uncomfortable for some who have already signed, like lando noris, because that seed, is it better? i don't know. because that seed, is it better? i don't knova— because that seed, is it better? i don't know. because that seed, is it better? i don'tknow. ~ . , ., ., don't know. much my reaction on the bbc s nort don't know. much my reaction on the bbc sport website. _ let's change gears, away from formula one... there were two games in the english premier league on thursday night, including an incredible seven goal thriller at molineaux where manchester united scored a winner seven minutes into stoppage time to get a a 3 victory over wolves.

kobbie mainoo with the winner.... after wolves thought they'd snatched a point with a 95th minute equaliser. marcus rashford was also on the scoresheet for united in his return to the team. erik ten hag's side are up to seventh: when you are so dominating the game and you are free— one up, don't let the opponent get back to 3—3, it shouldn't happen, but, of course, it pleases me a lot when you get the winner. and create momentum. scoring the first primarily goal and a very important one because this is a big win. in the night's other game, west ham and bournemouth finished all square at the london stadium. kalvin phillips with an unfortunate start to life as a hammers player. he only made the loan switch from manchester city this week but gifted dominic solanke a goal which put the visitors in front. but his new side did find an equaliserjames ward prowse

from the penalty spot as it finished one all. exciting times for this man here shoaib bashir who's all set to make his england test debut on friday in the second match against india in visakapatnam it's an incredible rise for the 20 —year—old who comes in to replace jack leach. bashir�*s played just six first class matches and first came to the attention of captain ben stokes on social media when bowling for somerset. stokes says he fully backs bashir, and is looking forward to him putting on a show, as england look to go 2 0 up in the five match series: isa is a very modern enough international teams choosing cricketers. england have have a vast department of talent spotting they even have little cameras on the impact as jackets and first class cricket so they can see what everyone is doing it's not always possible to get your scouts out to

see every ball of every game. but england find different ways of collecting the information. now, this is different still with stokes. he might not have been aware but share at all, but he saw something he alerted to but share's potential. he was in the lions programme either side of christmas, and now he finds himself making his test debut. well the man facing bashir in that social video, was none other than sir alastair cook, the former england captain bashir was playing against his essex side. cook's told the bbc that it will be special to see bashir, who's a spinner, getting the ball turning against the opposition. if you can spend the control, the discipline in the learning how to the ability to spin the ball he is tall, so it's got some very natural attributes which will help. always impressed when i faced him was he didn't ball that many bad balls. he

had control. to try to come into play but they didn't think he was ready for it, they wouldn't be selecting him. —— if they didn't think he was ready for it. rugby unions six nations tournament gets under way in marseille on friday with a mouth watering opening day match between the two favourites, france and ireland. scotland play wales on saturday with both sides ringing the changes after last years world cup. england, have named two debutants for their match against italy in rome, as our correspondent andy swiss reports. they have named their teams on saturday. they have two players making their debut�*s. ethan wrote starts in the background. now, he was born in new zealand but he has an english father and he is been really impressive for eggs that are this year. fraser ding law also makes his debut at centre alongside the returning henry slade while tommy freeman starts on the wind.

hello. time for a look at the weather for the next week or so. in the story is one of very mild winds, very blustery weather on the way and it certainly has been incredibly stormy across scandinavia in the last day or two. this is storm ingunn. it slammed into the central coast of norway here. these western areas and it produced an incredible gust of wind in the centre of that storm. 139 mph will stop this is immensely rare for our latitudes, such was the ferocity of the storm. now, mark gale force winds on the way. the low pressure is traversing the bay far north of the atlantic and entering the norwegian sea will remain very potent over the coming days, over theice potent over the coming days, over the ice here the high pressure to the ice here the high pressure to the south end low pressure to the

north, with this pressure gradient, we will see some pretty strong winds once again across the uk. nothing too severe. but they will be fairly persistent in the coming days and they will be very mild. ask a mild air coming in all the way from the southern climes. so cloudy, mild and windy on friday. by the north of the country are further south. they will be about the same, say 12 to 1a degrees celsius. friday night into saturday, again these westerlies blowing across the uk. a cloudy and mild or whether the south. something a little bit cooler at least for a time early on saturday morning across scotland, and even in the highlands, we can see just a touch of frost. generally speaking, and most towns and cities, saturday is off to a relatively mild starts. in this same pattern continues. so through saturday, big pressure gradient. rememberthose through saturday, big pressure gradient. remember those big lois traversing to the north of us, more stable high—pressure to the south and we are in the middle and that zone of gusty winds. now the

temperatures on saturday a little lower in the north because that's we are seeing an incursion of slightly colder weather from the northern climes. the single figure is just about but still around the mid—teens expected in the south of the country. now, here is sunday and indeed the same pattern will continue into monday. this week by the front is going to slip in and in fact bring some cloudier wetter weather for fact bring some cloudier wetter weatherfor a time to fact bring some cloudier wetter weather for a time to perhaps northern ireland, western scotland, quite drizzly and murky around the irish sea. this source of weather when we have winds blowing out of the west, the brightest guys tend to develop around eastern scotland, perhaps eastern areas of england as well. again, it is very mild particularly in the south, we are talking about 12 to 1a celsius closer to ten for glasgow and for edinburgh. now, monday we see a slightly weaker area of low pressure, that means that the land aren't quite as strong. still very blustery. this one is a little closer to northern scotland or the centre of the low, that means more extensive cloud and some heavier rain i think moving particularly

across the highlands. to the south of that, more of the same still that south westerly wind and those mild conditions. i think temperatures will be once again around 13 or 1a in most major towns and cities. a little bit colder on the other side of the weather front there, friends and the northern isles around for a celsius. now this is the outlook for next week. you can see just how mild it is. often cloudy, blustery at times of gals amounts in western coasts and those temperatures will remain well above the average for the time of the year will stop and think a sustained period of even the mid—teens across the south. that's it from me. thanks for watching.
