she usually only does five in a row when performing with cirque du soleil. amazing! makes me feel slightly sick. time for a look at the weather. here's elizabeth rizzini. a very different —looking day of weather across england and wales today than yesterday. some sorry looking daffodils earlier but also lots of sunshine still lasting across parts of scotland and towards the north of northern ireland, but even here it will turn unsettled through the rest of the week, we will see some much milderfeeling air too. this is the low pressure responsible for changing the weather, sending a warm front north and east across much of england and wales for the rest of the day, bringing thickening cloud, hill fell, showery outbreaks of rain, a

brisk south—westerly winds out of feeling no but still brightness across the far north of northern ireland and much of scotland, although there will still be high cloud here and there might be some winteriness in scotland. staying in the colder air for the rest of today and tonight. tonight more cloud across northern ireland, outbreaks of rain here, more cloud into the borders and southern scotland but a sharp temperature contrast overnight tonight as lows of —54 —6 in the she“ tonight as lows of —54 —6 in the shell glens of scotland but double figures across england and wales, it very mild started the day —— loads of —5 or —6. this is where the front will bring heavy rain across northern ireland into the morning, eventually clearing. as the rain creeps into southern and central scotland it could turn to snow across the cairngorms and north west highlands, in the middle across

parts of northern ireland and perhaps north west england, perhaps cheshire, we could see brightness developing, helping to lift the temperature. look at how mild it will be across the south—east of england through the day on thursday. most of the rain on thursday will be towards the north and west and some of that could be quite heavy at times, but if we get any brightness across the south—east of england and east anglia in particular that could lift the temperature as high as 16 or 17 degrees, but milder air filtering through across scotland so temperatures here will be rising. through friday that rain has largely cleared away towards the east but still lots of cloud towards the eastern coast, these north sea facing coasts, with a bit of a breeze and outbreaks of drizzle but temperatures above seasonal average, a little lower than thursday with more of a westerly wind but milder again across scotland, nine to 12 degrees. thanks, elizabeth. and that's bbc news at one.

now it's time to join our colleagues for the news hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm jane dougall. back for england — lionesses captain leah williamson gets an international re—call for the first time since missing out on the world cup. it is really nice to have her back because she is a very good player. we have seen that, even though she has been out for months, she is coming back and her decision—making is really good. yes, she is still building. rehan ahmed has been allowed into india, but he almost wasn't — he's the second england cricketer to have visa problems. and, he's at disneyland. super bowl winner patrick mahomes celebrates getting mvp the traditional way, by going to the happiest place on earth.

hello. we start with the news that england captain leah williamson has been named in sarina wiegman's squad for their upcoming friendlies against austria and italy. it's williamson's first re—call since she was ruled out of the women's world cup last summer with an acl injury. the 23 player squad leaves for spain after this weekend's wsl fixtures. jo currie was at st george's park for us. with george's park for us. england missing out on olym qualification with england missing out on olympic qualification knockout games, it means sarina wiegman can use this international window to take a squad to spain for a warm weather training camp and play a couple of friendly fixtures. the seniors will be there alongside the under 23 squad and the

manager said there will be plenty of opportunity for players to impress her, especially those who haven't played many minutes under her recently. leah williamson has been recalled, since rupturing his acl ten months ago. it is recalled, since rupturing his acl ten months ago.— recalled, since rupturing his acl ten months ago. it is nice to have her back because _ ten months ago. it is nice to have her back because she _ ten months ago. it is nice to have her back because she is _ ten months ago. it is nice to have her back because she is a - ten months ago. it is nice to have her back because she is a very - ten months ago. it is nice to have l her back because she is a very good player _ her back because she is a very good player. even — her back because she is a very good player. even though she has been out for months. _ player. even though she has been out for months, she is coming back and her decision—making is really good. yes, _ her decision—making is really good. yes. she _ her decision—making is really good. yes. she is— her decision—making is really good. yes, she is still building. i think the team — yes, she is still building. i think the team picked up last year very welt _ the team picked up last year very well. players stepped up but it is really _ well. players stepped up but it is really nice — well. players stepped up but it is really nice to have her back. sarina wieaman really nice to have her back. sarina wiegman talked _ really nice to have her back. sarina wiegman talked about _ really nice to have her back. sarina wiegman talked about her - really nice to have her back. sarina | wiegman talked about her concerns when players would have rest periods this year in what looks like another congested calendar. and then we got down to the important subject of pancake day. down to the important sub'ect of pancake mi pancake day. last one for me, sli . htl pancake day. last one for me, slightly away _ pancake day. last one for me, slightly away from _ pancake day. last one for me, slightly away from football, i pancake day. last one for me, slightly away from football, it | pancake day. last one for me, | slightly away from football, it is pancake — slightly away from football, it is pancake day. i learned that this morning. — pancake day. i learned that this morning. i_ pancake day. i learned that this morning, i never heard of that. what kinda _ morning, i never heard of that. what kinda pancake are you going to eat? what _ kinda pancake are you going to eat? what is _ kinda pancake are you going to eat? what is your— kinda pancake are you going to eat? what is your pancake topping of

and focus less about his goals, as they prepare to face the danish champions fc copenhagen. the champions league returns tonight and haarland does have an incredible goal scoring record in the competition. he's already scored five and last season finished top scorer with 12 goals from 11 games. he doesn't need to score, he helps us with many, many things. many. he doesn'tjust have to score. it is notjust doesn'tjust have to score. it is not just that, doesn'tjust have to score. it is notjust that, so many games, encouraging his mates and this is what we need from erling. but we cannot forget, two months out is a lot of time for a guy soto. back to the dynamic is not easy, he is

hugely competitive and wanting to score goals. yes, we know that, relax. alan shearer has said he's not a fan of the idea of introducing blue cards in football for temporary sin—bins. the international football association board have led trials in which players can be sent to the sin bin for ten minutes, for dissent or a foul. the press association has now reported that goalkeepers won't be exempt from the temporary dismissals and that no sin—binned player can be substituted until the temporary dismissal period has ended. the former england and newcastle united captain was on bbc breakfast this morning and said he thought it would be counter—productive. i think the reaction of players, managers and coaches all around the world whenever they have been asked about it is that they have all gone against it. i am exactly the same, i don't see the benefit of them. wouldn't give people time to cool

he's been granted an emergency two—day visa, allowing him to train with his england team—mates in rajkot. he's now applied for a multi—entrance visa. the issue is different to the one shoaib bashir encountered last month. england team mate ollie pope says it hasn't affected him. he sounds pretty positive. he is in good spirits and is training today. it was sorted fairly quickly yesterday and it is all going on behind the scenes and hopefully within the next day or so, hopefully it is also to. no, he isn't good spirits and the boys are around him and he is happy to be out here training. it's been a difficult few years for double olympic gold medalist adam peaty, but he's won his first world championship medal since 2019 — a bronze in the men's 100m breaststroke. he's also made it though to the 50 metre breaststroke semi finals later today. peaty, who is the world record—holder, is aiming

for a third successive olympic 100m gold in paris this summer. the 29—year—old has taken breaks from the sport to deal with periods of depression and problems with alcohol. he says he'll be using this as motivation to push forward. ido i do believe everything happens for a reason and we have got to take the successes with the falls and vice versa with the failures. sometimes for me in this time of the season, a failure is a good thing. it makes me tune up a little bit more and push towards trials and the olympics. a lot of learning still to go. now, the super bowl on sunday was the most watched programme in us history. a massive 123.4 million people across television and streaming platforms watched the kansas city chiefs beat the san fransico 49ers in overtime. that's a increase of 7% from last year... perhaps the taylor swift effect?

well, its tradition for the mvp to go to disneyland and so, after his standout performance, chiefs quarterback patrick mahomes did just that. those sunglasses doing a good job of disguising how tired mahomes must be! he did say he was very pleased to be there. it really is special and i enjoyed every single time and to be back in disneyland again, after being back last year, it is a moment hopefully i will get to keep doing over again and again. 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. hello, iam hello, i am tanya beckett. the labour party has withdrawn support for its candidate in the rochdale by—election,

azhar ali, because of remarks he made about israel. the party made the decision saying that further information had come to light, it had previously spent days defending mr ali. it's too late for labour to change its candidate. opponents have accused labour of being in disarray. here's the audio, published by the daily mail newspaper, with those comments from mr ali. take a listen. he shouldn't have been suspended, right? he was suspended on what was said. i know him really well, yeah, he's a solid pro—palestinian supporter. the media and some of the people in the media from certainjewish quarters were giving bleep about what he said. graham, you can t say this. absolutely. graham, you can t say this, but i ll say it, i've been to israel, you ve been to israel... i've been. yeah, he's been, the security is that strict landing at the airport to your hotel to going into any of the towns, yeah? if you go in gaza, i can t believe there is no way that israel knows there is a border there,

there s a big buffer zone between gaza and that and that these people on paragliders that they had no intelligence at all? in the last few minutes, the labour leader keir starmer gave his reaction to the events in rochdale. certain information came to light over the weekend in relation to the candidate. there was a fulsome apology. further information came to light yesterday calling for decisive action. so i took decisive action. it is a huge thing to withdraw support for a labour candidate during the course of a by—election. it is a tough decision, a necessary decision, but when i say the labour party has changed under my leadership, i mean it. if party has changed under my leadership, i mean it. i! it party has changed under my leadership, i mean it. if it has chanced leadership, i mean it. if it has changed really _ leadership, i mean it. if it has changed really then _ leadership, i mean it. if it has changed really then be - leadership, i mean it. if it has- changed really then be investigating the changed really then be investigating ihe other— changed really then be investigating the other councillors who also joined — the other councillors who also joined in — the other councillors who also joined in with that discussion that were _ joined in with that discussion that were recorded when mr ali made those
