south of the afternoon and to the south of that, we keep the cloud and it will still be rather windy but is more windy to the east of the pennines, but some sunshine to the north of england, northern ireland and much of scotland. shows continue in western scotland and there is more rain here as well heading through sunday, also across northern ireland. this is a warm front and it will bring that milder air again further northwards and eastwards with some gales perhaps in the far north of scotland. also some more heavy rain for the western hills of scotland as we had three sunday night and into monday. the air stays very mild, a lot of dry weather in the forecast for most as we head into monday and also mild and largely dry, much of europe including marseille where the six nations tournament is kicking off tonight. thanks, elizabeth. and that's bbc news at six. now it's time to join our colleagues for the news where you are.

welcome to the programme. it's the opening match of the oldest rugby tournament in the world. the six nations starts tonight with — arguably — one of the most anticipated matches — favourites france take on the defending champions ireland — and it's being seen by some as the match which could ultimately decide the tournament. the two other fixtures take place tomorrow when italy host england and scotland travel to cardiff to play wales. all six teams are poised, but what is it so special about the oldest tournament in rugby? it is time for the six nations. there really is nothing like it. it is probably the biggest honour of my

for us, but first to marseilles where andy swiss is ahead of the ireland france match. kick off is just over 80 minutes away. and andy, many are calling this the world cup final that never was. what a great game to kick the tournament off? it is. the volume level here has just gone up a few notches because the french team have actuallyjust on a bit of a walkabout on the pitch. as you say, this is the six nations, that in many peoples eyes could turn out to be the six nations decider. because these are the two favourites on paper. france won the grand slam in 2022. ireland in 2023. you suspect whoever wins here tonight will fancy their chances of winning the grand slam in 202a. of course both have something of a point to prove after they were knocked out in the quarterfinals of

the world cup last year. a tournament they both went into with really high hopes of winning. as you can already hear, it should be some atmosphere here in marseilles. it is an unusual place to be hosting a six nations match. the reason it is here is because the stat difference in paris where they normally have their games is being read to advance for the summer 0lympics games is being read to advance for the summer olympics and they are taking their games hereto marseilles. this place always has a terrific atmosphere. thousands of ireland fans were out in marseilles this afternoon enjoying themselves in sunshine and they will be hoping that they are the ones that are enjoying themselves this evening. both teams have lost their long—standing captains. jonny sexton has retired, while antoine dupont has switched to sevens, how will that impact on this match? as far as ireland are concerned they

obviously knew for some time that johnny was going to retire so they had a chance to prepare for it. that said he was such a key player for ireland. he is going to be a big change for them. he's being replaced by fly have —— fly half by the 2a would —year—olds and impressive over the last few months. this will be a huge challenge and a huge test for jack crowley. for france, they are clearly going to miss the captain because in many peoples eyes he is the best player in world rugby. that said, they have a very able and adept team who came in during the world cup when dupont was injured. france have some new match winners all over the pitch, and least the likes of tbn, i3 tribes in his last internationals which is an incredible record. both teams are missing key players but they have not tinker too much with their world cup squad so it should be a very, very tight encounter.—

let's go to 0lly foster now who's in cardiff for us. 0llie, the most important question, is the roof open or closed? you've already told us it is going to be close, but it took a while to come to that decision. its, to be close, but it took a while to come to that decision.— come to that decision. a very pertinent _ come to that decision. a very pertinent question _ come to that decision. a very pertinent question because i come to that decision. a very l pertinent question because we come to that decision. a very - pertinent question because we have had a bit of a who all over this. thankfully the roof is on because it is miserable outside. and it is staying on. yesterday, remember both teams have to be in agreement for the roof to be on. wales are is pretty much wanted on because this magnificent cdm, itjust goes up a level with the roof on and the home crowd. gregor townsend the scotland head coach said, no, the weather looks quite nice on saturday afternoon, we want it all. gatlin the head coach said he found that strange and disappointing. there has been a u—turn. the weather is not going to be very nice tomorrow at also towns and sit actually let's

close the roof. that should give us mess expensive ball in hand rugby. we asked for and rustled the scotland captain tomorrow about this u—turn and the fact that they will be dry tomorrow. for me personally does not change too much — for me personally does not change too much i— for me personally does not change too much. i was in an indoor stadium for five _ too much. i was in an indoor stadium for five years — too much. i was in an indoor stadium for five years so i'm used to that. ithink— for five years so i'm used to that. i think the — for five years so i'm used to that. i think the weather conditions change — i think the weather conditions change over the weeks so that is why it is now— change over the weeks so that is why it is now closed. so i think it will make _ it is now closed. so i think it will make an — it is now closed. so i think it will make an exciting game tomorrow. it may he _ make an exciting game tomorrow. it may be slightly greasy or inside with the — may be slightly greasy or inside with the humidity, but both teams will have _ with the humidity, but both teams will have the same conditions so whether— will have the same conditions so whether it — will have the same conditions so whether it is open or closed it does not change — whether it is open or closed it does not change too much. gf whether it is open or closed it does not change too much.— whether it is open or closed it does not change too much. of course it is their prerogative _ not change too much. of course it is their prerogative to _ not change too much. of course it is their prerogative to change - not change too much. of course it is their prerogative to change their - their prerogative to change their mind. would you say then it is perhaps scotland's best chance to win in cardiff for more than two decades was mike they've had a few of these best chances as you will know. :: :: ., ., .,

sticks and decided that rugby is not for him because he is going off to try his hand at american football. so yes, everything is pointing towards the fact that this does seem towards the fact that this does seem to be scotland's best chance for a long time. but, they have said that before, haven't they? taste long time. but, they have said that before, haven't they? we shall see. thank ou before, haven't they? we shall see. thank you very _ before, haven't they? we shall see. thank you very much. _ the wales v scotland match is live on bbc! tomorrow afternoon. kick—off is quarter to five. before that, it's england in italy. jamie george captains the side hoping for a better six nations than last year's fourth place finish. that's on five live sports extra and coming up on five live tonight is that opening fixture between france and ireland. some breaking news in the last hour. highly anticipated undisputed heavyweight fight between tyson fury and 0leksandr usyk is all. it was

structural in february in saudi arabia. with more we are to where you are boxing correspond. tell us why. he you are boxing correspond. tell us wh . ., ., . ., you are boxing correspond. tell us wh. ., why. he got a cut. he has a cut in trainin: why. he got a cut. he has a cut in training to — why. he got a cut. he has a cut in training to date _ why. he got a cut. he has a cut in training to date describing - why. he got a cut. he has a cut in training to date describing it as i why. he got a cut. he has a cut in training to date describing it as a | training to date describing it as a freak accident and saying he did have significant medical attention and posted a message on social media showing a bad cut. so there'sjust no way he can go through with the fight. he's posted a message as well saying he's absolutely devastated and his work really hard for the spy. he was a saudi arabia just after christmas preparing for what had been the biggest fight in the heavyweight division since 1990 9 cents. we have we did an awful long time for this book we have to wait longer. this is the frustration with combat sports. we are talk about rugby a little earlier, we know tonight that ireland are going to play france will subpoena england are going to play tomorrow. you know when the cup final will be. with boxing you have to do it, but it does all subject to both men and postponements happen then that is where we are now. so the week

tyson gets back in the ring. as you sa , it is tyson gets back in the ring. as you say. it is the _ tyson gets back in the ring. as you say, it is the nature _ tyson gets back in the ring. as you say, it is the nature of _ tyson gets back in the ring. as you say, it is the nature of the - tyson gets back in the ring. as you say, it is the nature of the sport. l say, it is the nature of the sport. thank you for bringing us that update. let's take you to india now where, on his debut for england, shoaib bashir picked up two wickets on the first day of the second test. the 20—year—old's first was memorable, taking the indian captain, rohit sharma. but the star of the show was 20—year—old opener, yashasvi jaiswal. at close he was 179 not out with india on 336—6. patrick geary reports. shoaib bashir is the thoroughly modern selection, first noticed by england captain through a clip on social media. 6.5 months later he was bowling in a test and dismissing india's captain. rohit sharma, his first wicket, a moment like and shared. jimmy anderson first played for england before he was born. shubman gill was his 691st test wicket.

india 89—2. england 89—2, not quite in need of rebuilding but certainly repairing. yashasvi jaiswel�*s dad ran a hardware shop. he crafted his way past 50 and beyond, far beyond. that shot part of the celebrations of the majestic century. the 22—year—old gave india control, but england chipped away. through tom hartley and ben foakes. through ahmed, too. this a ball thatjust wouldn't be blocked. india were kept from retreat by yashasvi jaiswel. his century became 150 and he took his country beyond 300. 0ther older england spinners might have wilted, but not shoaib bashir. patel gone celebrated as if normality. he isjust 20. rain ahmed is younger still, he took the set wicket for england. india's young opener was unconquered. some day for 21st century boys.

what a day for shoaib bashir, who joined up with the squad late after he had issues getting a visa in time. but the off spinner has had to deal with adversity in the past. he was released by surrey�*s academy, and dropped down into the national counties before he was noticed by his current county somerset, so he's enjoying this moment. it has been a very special, special day for all that i have been through in the last 2—3 years, it has made it even more special so. to get rohhit sharma out as well as my first wicket was incredible. staying with cricket, but closer to home, yorkshire's members have approved a controversial takeover of the cash—strapped club by a consortium led by former chairman colin graves. it means the 76—year—old, who was chair of yorkshire from 2012—2015, is expected to return to the role. graves' time at yorkshire was part of the period for which the club was fined for failing to address the systemic use of discriminatory

or racist language. the deal now needs to be approved by the financial conduct authority. the cherry says it should not make any difference. this club has changed enormously over the past three years. the steps we have taken, it will take a mammoth task to undo that. we heard from collin himself, he is no intention to undoing all of the good that we have done. he has apologised and on behalf of himself and his time here. i think we have to take his word for it. this is securing the financial future of this club. of course, things are not as well as of course, things are not as well as they could be. but we are heading towards the right direction. now, many are still reeling from the news that lewis hamilton will bejoining ferrari for the 2025 season. but none more so than mercedes team boss toto woolf who says he was surprised by the speed

at which hamilton's switch to the italian team happened. hamilton announced yesterday that, after 11 years at mercedes, where he won six of his seven world titles, he'lljoin rivals ferrari for the 2025 season. woolf says they'll begin looking for a replacement driver, but that he didn't expect this to happen. if you told me two days ago that he would be going to ferrari, i would not think it was possible. so situations and things can change quickly. contracts are only good as the driver with the teams went to greece. who knows what is happening in the driver markets, they could be unexpected and opportunities for them. let's take a look at some of the other sports news stories making the headlines. staying with formula one,

haas is the first team to launch their 2024 car - the vf-24. nico hulkenberg and kevin magnussen will be the team's line—up for a second consecutive season. the new car will run for the first time at silverstone on the 11th of february. judd trump is through to the semi—fnals of the german masters. he beatjohn higgins by five frames to two in berlin and will meet either ali carter or sam craigie in the last four. west ham have confirmed that said benrahma hasjoined lyon on loan for the rest of the season. that's despite the deal not being completed by the transfer deadline. lyon accused west ham of "incomprehensible" behaviour, fifa have now verified the deal. west ham united have also confirmed that pablo fornals has joined real betis on a permanent transfer. sheffield united women have sacked their head coach after "new information came to light" aboutjonathan morgan before he arrived at bramall lane. the club said they had reached

the conclusion that morgan's position was no longer tenable and his employment with the club was terminated. luke turner will take the role of interim head coach for sunday's championship fixture at durham. this weekend, millions of football fans and over 80 professional clubs are taking part in green football weekend — a new national event of climate—friendly activities to help protect the planet. it's a subject close to the heart of former arsenal player, mathieu flamini, who's now ceo of a biochemicals company. i spoke to him earlier and began by asking if he was worried about initiatives like this are just lip service when the carbon for preprint of football is so high. {line when the carbon for preprint of football is so high.— football is so high. one of the bi est football is so high. one of the biggest industry _ football is so high. one of the biggest industry which - football is so high. one of the biggest industry which is - football is so high. one of the biggest industry which is still| football is so high. one of the - biggest industry which is still able to unite a lot of people. we are talking about a community of 3 million people so having the opportunity to open to discuss and

also discuss how we bring solutions to such a big industry, football and a lot of sports have a lot to do but it is a joint effort. it is important to start as soon as possible. important to start as soon as ossible. ., important to start as soon as possible-— possible. you are an elite footballer _ possible. you are an elite footballer for _ possible. you are an elite footballer for many, - possible. you are an elite| footballer for many, many possible. you are an elite - footballer for many, many years of the highest level. that means you know the benefits of, for example, travelling by air. if you have to travelling by air. if you have to travel to away matches. is it realistic to ask multi pound businesses which football clubs are, to use trains and coaches when the marginal gains of helping elite footballers recover after a match or prepare for a match equates to using aeroplanes to get there and back? i think we have to be realistic. more than pointing at clubs and point to get organisations it is about bringing them into the discussion. i remember when i was playing for arsenal bees to go play at liverpool and go there by train and even at manchester. so i think it is about looking up what who's responsible.

we are not asking for the guys to play from here to germany and take a train, it would be unrealistic but it is looking at the possibility, looking at the options and going in the direction of a greener option when it is possible. you the direction of a greener option when it is possible.— when it is possible. you gave an examle when it is possible. you gave an example of— when it is possible. you gave an example of your _ when it is possible. you gave an example of your old _ when it is possible. you gave an example of your old club - when it is possible. you gave an| example of your old club arsenal thing liverpool. that is the fixture this weekend. i am more than sure you keep an eye on your old club. this is the type of match but can decide the title, isn't it? how are you feeling about the? element every game is important.— game is important. when you are a ounu game is important. when you are a ouna kid game is important. when you are a young kid your _ game is important. when you are a young kid your dream _ game is important. when you are a young kid your dream is _ game is important. when you are a young kid your dream is a - game is important. when you are a young kid your dream is a place - young kid your dream is a place of this is going to be a tough game, everybody is looking forward and everyone is excited, i am excited i'm going to the game on sunday. 0bviously i'm going to the game on sunday. obviously i will be supporting arsenal and i hope we can get the points because as this it is very important for the future, but let's not forget the season is the long slits focus on this game in the next game is liveable so hopefully we play at force. it game is liveable so hopefully we play at force-— play at force. it looks like the title race _ play at force. it looks like the title race will— play at force. it looks like the title race will be _ play at force. it looks like the title race will be tight. - play at force. it looks like the title race will be tight. you i play at force. it looks like the | title race will be tight. you see arsenal going all the way and doing

well, one of the sports that british cycling is promoting, in a push to get more fans, is cyclo cross, you can see how much fun it looks. well, between today and sunday the cyclocross world championships are taking place in the czech republic. former uci cyclo—cross world junior champion zoe backstedt — who won silver last year — says she's juggling training for this summers' 0lympics with this competition. it's obviously an olympic year. it is a very packed calendar with the pics as well as it in. just going to recess to help the team out and try and get some wins for the team here and get some wins for the team here and there. if i can go to worlds this year, great. if i can do europeans, also great. if i can go to the olympics, that would be like a dream come true. you can watch the cyclo cross world championships on saturday morning on iplayerfrom 11:20... a reminder of our top story six nation starting tonight with arguably one of the most anticipated

matches. the favoured france take on ireland. thank you for watching sportsday. hello. the weekend's looking mild for most of us, but it's often going to be cloudy, very blustery, and on top of that, some rain in the forecast, too — heaviest of which is expected across western and northwestern scotland. let's have a look at the satellite picture from the last couple of days, and you can see big swirls, patterns in the clouds here. big storms moving from the north atlantic across the norwegian sea. they've been slamming scandinavia, especially norway, in the last couple of days. so, this is thejet stream here. the air is relatively mild across the southern half of the uk through this evening and overnight. weather front here and lots of layers of cloud, bits and pieces of rain. to the north of that, just about cold enough, i think, for a touch of frost in the highlands. but glasgow will be seven, belfast nine, and look how mild it is in the morning across the bulk of england and wales.

we're talking about double figures. now, the forecast for saturday — high pressures to the south, some nasty lows across the norwegian sea. a lot of isobars after that big pressure gradient and those strong west, south—westerly winds. and i think it's going to be, again, quite blustery and relatively cool across scotland. some sunny spells here, temperatures will be around about 7—9 degrees. i say relatively cool compared to the south where it'll be perhaps as high as 1a degrees, often cloudy with some dribs and drabs of rain. how about the six nations? also spots of rain certainly possible, at least for a time, maybe a little bit heavier for a moment or two, and relatively mild, but blustery. here's the forecast into sunday — another weather front moves in again, mild southwesterlies across the southern half of the uk. but further north, this weather front here will be responsible for that very heavy rain across western and northwestern scotland, particularly sunday night into monday. and in fact, the met office warns that widely across that part of scotland, the west

and the northwest could be around 50mm, perhaps as much as 100—150mm, maybe even a little bit more in the extreme case, and very blustery, too. but south of that, you can see on monday, certainly south of the lowlands, it's generallyjust cloudy with spots of rain from time to time. a bit of sunshine i think towards the east is certainly not impossible. the outlook through next week — well, there is an indication there could be colder weather heading our way, so a long way off. but initially, i think at least reaching northern parts of the uk from thursday onwards.
