before she takes up the role as head coach of the usa women's national team. we have to recognise the opportunities that are few and far between but we need to upscaled more and more women into coaching and to do that, i think we have to think differently about it. getting clubs to be in position and standards in place to hire women into the game and be an assistant coach or head coach but doing that is a challenge. red bull's formula one team principal, christian horner, is under investigation after a complaint was made against him. the details haven't been disclosed but red bull say they take the allegations "extremely seriously". horner has been red bull team principal since they first started on the fi grid in 2005 and has gone on to win seven drivers' championships and six constructors' championships with the team. he says he "completely denies" the allegations. and that's all the sport for now. the nhs is failing some parents whose children die

hello there. it's been a blustery, cloudy, but very mild start to the week for most of us. things are going to change, mind you, this weather front and this band of cloud has brought about five inches of rain into highland scotland, and that's going to move southwards, allowing colder air to move down from the north. and we're seeing that colder air pushing into more of scotland overnight as the rain band moves into southern scotland and northern ireland. following that, a few sharp showers into northern scotland, some icy patches by the morning and a touch of frost likely here. in contrast, england and wales, those temperatures are not falling very much at all. it's still cloudy. it's still quite windy as we head into tuesday morning. and that band of rain will move away from southern scotland and northern ireland into england and wales, bringing some heavier rain over the hills of northern england and wales and eventually some rain into the midlands following that sunshine for scotland and northern ireland.
5:57 pm
wintry showers in the north of scotland, some late sunshine in northern england. but here it's going to be colder than it was today. the mild air, the windy air still there in southern parts of england, temperatures of 13 or 14 degrees. but even here, things will change overnight as this weather front takes some rain further south, allowing that colder air to move down from the north across more of the country by wednesday morning, leading to a frost, but hopefully some sunshine around. but there will be some snow showers in northern parts of scotland, some icy conditions here. we've still got some cloud and maybe a little rain at times in the far south of england and through the english channel. but otherwise, temperatures are going to be near six oi’ seven degrees. so a chilly day now. we've got a weather frontjust sitting across the english channel on wednesday. but is this area of low pressure moves in from the atlantic so that weather front moves north, which takes rain northwards into the cold air. now, whilst we're likely to stay as rain in southern most parts of england and wales, further north, it's going to be sleet and snow that's going to be falling, that's going to bring some disruption. and there is a warning out from the met office for thursday into thursday night. in this area, widely, there'll be
5:58 pm
a few centimetres of snow, but there'll be more than that over the hills. now it is a yellow warning from the met office because it's so far ahead and there may well be some changes as well. one of the uncertainties is how far north this wet weather will get. it looks like thursday should be dry for scotland and northern ireland, but it will be cold.
