of hits in a15—minute set that featured alicia keys and will.i.am. no team has ever won three super bowl titles in a row, but planning for next year can surely wait. after all, this is vegas and this party is unlikely to end anytime soon. nesta mcgregor, bbc news, at the super bowl. it was 50 years ago today that one of the most recognisable children's tv characters first appeared on our screens. the most important, the most beautiful, the most magical saggy old cloth cat in the whole wide world. we are, of course, talking about bagpuss who made his debut in 197a. only 13 episodes were ever made,

but the show created by peter firmin and oliver postgate has been re—broadcast multiple times. and how we love tim! time for a look at the weather — here's elizabeth rizzini. .. and me as well. there is more warmth in the sunshine today at the moment. and sunny here across wales. more showers expected here by the time we reach the end of the day. but today probably the best day of the week in terms of sunshine. some showers towards the north and west but big changes happening from tomorrow, it starts to turn wetter and milder front mid week. we keep the milder air shunting away all the cold air out to the far north of the week but

1:33 pm
some of that heavy at times, gusty south—west winds and rain moving into east anglia during the afternoon and perhaps pushing into southern scotland by the end of the day. we see the best at the sunshine across much of scotland, some wintry showers over the tops of the mountains. it is a cold and frosty night in scotland on tuesday and wednesday but is the warm front pressure is a cold and frosty night in scotland on tuesday and wednesday but as the warm front pushes it is what further south, lots of plant, some mist, slice of sunshine across east anglia and the midlands but temperatures rising, 13 or 1a celsius and they could perhaps get higher as thanks, elizabeth. and that's bbc news at one. we head into thursday.

hello and welcome to sportsday. i'm jane dougall. a last—minute winner in overtime gives the chiefs back to back superbowls and a party in vegas. celebrations as the hosts of the africa cup of nations come from behind to lift the trophy in front of their home fans. and the athletics world is reeling after the death of marathon record holder kelvin kiptum atjust 24. it's the biggest match in american sport, and this year's superbowl was even bigger as more than 100 million are thought to have watched the kansas city chiefs beat the san francisco 49ers
1:35 pm
in overtime to win their third super bowl in five years. a last—gasp field goal by the chiefs made it 19—19 to send the game into overtime, and, although the 49ers edged back in front, patrick mahomes�* touchdown pass to mecole hardman to make it 25—22 to defending champions kansas city, who cemented their status as the first nfl dynasty since the new england patriots. the night was made even bigger by the prescence of taylor swift. the singer was supporting her boyfriend, travis kelce, the chiefs�* tight end. swift has brought new fans to the national football league, especially women and girls. and the celebrations continued on the field and in the locker room, and our correspondent nesta mcgregor was right in the heart of the celebrations in las vegas.
1:36 pm
does this one feel any different? it does, it feels ten times better, man. adversity, what the team went through, the naysayers. but on top of that, man, just how much fun we have coming in the building. you can see how we are enjoying this one right now. how will you and your lovely pop star girlfriend be celebrating? i'm sure vegas will roll out the red carpet — i will be elvis for a night. chiefs quarterback patrick mahomes made the difference once again in the showpiece event, and now the debate rumbles on as to whether he can now be considered one of the greatest of all time. atjust 28, he has become the sixth quarterback in nfl history to win three or more super bowls. i can't even explain what was going through my mind. i didn't even know where to go. just so exciting, and i'm so proud of the team, proud of the guys, and it was a battle to the very end. everybody came together
1:37 pm
and we were able to get the win. we will continue to fight. in this game, there were times where we weren't playing great, particularly offence. people will talk about the fence in the last few draws, but defence was what kept us in the game. we will make it happen when it counts. now someone hoping to reach the nfl is former rugby union player louis rees zammit. the wales and gloucester wing shocked the rugby world last month when he announced he would be leaving the sport to pursue a career in the nfljust weeks before the start of the six nations. rees—zammit has moved to florida and started on a 10—week programme and he says he has big ambitions. i think ithink in i think in the back of my head i've always wanted to give it a go, but being a welshman, rugby from the age of six is like you have to play it.
1:38 pm
i absolutely love playing rugby and it was the sport i fell in love with from such a young age, but now i thought it was the perfect time to try and switch and ultimately try and make my dream a reality. it was the hardest decision of my life, by far. i had to sit down with my family and go through everything with them. and itjust came to me that it was just the right time in terms of age. if i did this in a couple of years, it would be too late for me and i wouldn't be able to pick up the game as quick as other people. i think now is the perfect time for me to give this a go. i love challenging myself. why not do it now?— not do it now? how has your transition — not do it now? how has your transition from _ not do it now? how has your transition from rugby - not do it now? how has your transition from rugby to - not do it now? how has your- transition from rugby to american football been? what are the most difficult and easiest parts? the trainin: , difficult and easiest parts? the training, using _ difficult and easiest parts? tue: training, using different difficult and easiest parts? tte: training, using different muscles that you wouldn't use in rugby. the soreness is different in general because it is a ten week camp and
1:39 pm
i'm having to learn the sport in ten weeks, it isjust i'm having to learn the sport in ten weeks, it is just so intense. i'm having to learn the sport in ten weeks, it isjust so intense. it i'm having to learn the sport in ten weeks, it is just so intense. it is something different and i'm absolutely loving it. the most challenging thing is probably how much you have to learn. the classroom staff is full on. i am loving learning a completely different sport. some very sad news from the world of athletics — kelvin kiptum, the marathon record holder, has been killed in a car accident. the 24—year—old kenyan is said to have been with his coach, who also died in the crash, on a road in a high altitude region of western kenya where there is a training base for long distance runners. our bbc sport africa correspondent celestine karoneyjoins us now from nairobi. what do we know about what happened? what we know from the police incident report is that kelvin kiptum was driving his car and he had two other passengers in the car,
1:40 pm
his coach and a young lady. the police say that the driver lost control, the car veered off the road, going into a ditch, and hita tree. kelvin kiptum and his coach died on the spot, while the lady was taken to hospital. police say that they are now waiting for the lady to recover a little bit and they will speak to her and give us more details after the investigation into exactly what happened in that tragic incident. the world of athletics is reeling — can you explain how talented he was? it is really... i don't even know how to say. to give perspective to this, kelvin kiptum ran his first marathon in 2022 and 18 in... dust
1:41 pm
mite years later he broke the world record. it takes years of practice to break a world record. it took a decade for the previous world record holder to break the record. it tells you how talented and special he was. he was already talking about wanting to be the first man to run the marathon in under two i was, something nobody has ever been able to do it. it has been achieved in a controlled environment, so that did not count. kelvin kiptum wanted to do it in an official race that would have counted. that would have catapulted him into even more fame. it is a dream now that has been cut short, and canyons are left with a lot of what could have been. —— people from kenya. disappointment for emma raducanu, who has lost in straight sets to anhelina kalinina in the opening round of the qatar open.
1:42 pm
the former us open champion was outclassed in the first set, losing 6—0. raducanu fought back in the second set to take it to a tie break, but the ukrainian was too strong, eventually coming out on top 7—6. now it's been an arduous journey for ivory coast, filled with drama, and for match winner sebastien haller, one he thought he may not be a part of. a year after recovering from testicular cancer, the former west ham striker scored the winner against nigeria in the final of the africa cup of nations to become a national hero. all the more miraculous when you consider ivory coast only just scraped into the knockouts and sacked their manager mid tournament. i feel ifeel on i feel on the clouds, you know? ifeel on the clouds, you know? it is kind of a dream today. yeah, it is kind of a dream today. yeah, it is difficult to put a word on this
1:43 pm
moment, on this feeling, because this is something ijust reamed about, and today... yeah, it is here. i was crying because i was just thinking about all the effort we had to do to come at this moment. i think we deserve it. 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. it is general election year, and there will be a big test for the parties later this week when two parts of england head to the polls in by—elections. the conservatives hold the seats. labour hopes to take both, and the liberal democrats want to try and cause an upset. voters in kingswood in south gloucestershire — which is on the edge of the city of bristol — will be at the polls on thursday. this follows
