you can see him from above. oh, there we go. one... you don't want to go in the bucket and you don't want to go out! another one�*s released, having made it to safety, without croaking. donjohnson, bbc news, bath. time for a look at the weather. here's darren bett. i will start with a view of the northern lights from last night, a very colourful scene helped by those clear skies and temperatures as low as “4 c. much more cloudy elsewhere and graham seen here in cumbria. quite a bit of mist and low cloud affecting the hills and we do have cloud through the rest of the day with bits and pieces of light rain or drizzle. still chilly in the far north of mainland scotland. but look at the temperatures, widely14
1:31 pm
degrees across england and wales and 13 in northern ireland. so far not much rain around today but getting wetter overnight for the northern half of the uk. temperatures are lifting a bit across scotland but further south becoming drier later in the night. temperatures not changing much overnight. the air originates from the azores, we have a southerly breeze bringing the milder air and a southerly breeze bringing the milderairand ahead of a southerly breeze bringing the milder air and ahead of this weather front bringing rain in from the west. still rain to come across scotland, heavy rain moving up towards the north. that pushes back into scotland and rain developing in england and wales. ahead of that we may get some brighter skies and sunshine. the average maximum temperature of around eight or 9 degrees at this time of year but tomorrow could be milder even than
1:32 pm
today. 16 or maybe 17 degrees in east anglia and the south east if we do get some sunshine coming through. but still some way to go to reach the highest february temperature set in 2019. rain moving east overnight, more weatherfronts in 2019. rain moving east overnight, more weather fronts out in the atlantic. this one bringing rain during the weekend. overnight rain clearing away and then for friday some brighter skies with sunshine coming through. the odd shower around but for much of the day it may be dry and still quite mild. i2 may be dry and still quite mild. 12 degrees in the central belt of scotland, 14 in the south—east of england. on saturday some bright weather with sunshine but more cloud to the west with rain coming into western areas. ahead of that quite mild for the time of year. thanks darren. and that's bbc news at one.
1:33 pm
now it's time to join our colleagues for the news where you are — goodbye. hello and welcome to sportsday. i'm gavin ramjaun. upping the pace — england bring in mark wood for their third test against india. after stalling, can bayern munich get back on track in the champions league later on? and, saying farewell to the ice. torvill and dean announced their retirement from skating exactly a0 years after making these moves in the city that made them famous. hello and welcome to the programme. england's cricketers are gearing up for their crucial third test against india which starts in rajkot tomorrow morning.
1:34 pm
they've decided to leave out spinner shoaib bashir and instead opted for the pace of mark wood.. wood didn't take a wicket in the first test, and didn't play in the second, but england have opted for his speed, and with james anderson keeping his place, england will play two seamers for the first time in the series. england captain ben stokes will play in his 100th test for the side, becoming the 16th england player to reach the milestone. since making his debut against australia ten years ago, stokes has starred with a number of individual performances, and has excelled as captain, winning ia of the 20 matches since he took charge in 2022. i think this will allow us to use his skill set in a different way than in the first game because the way in whichjimmy bowled last week
1:35 pm
just shows the class that he can do it everywhere in the world, regardless of the conditions. there are two more champions league matches this evening, but no british sides involved. kylian mbappe is set to return for paris saint germain later, in their home game against real sociedad. the france captain was an unused substitute in their league win at the weekend against lille, but is back in the picture later against the spanish side. he had been suffering with an ankle injury. mbappe has scored 20 in the league and three in the champions league so far this season — his manager knows how much of an asset he is. bayern munich are also in action later — they take on lazio, and will be looking to put their weekend disappointment in the bundesliga behind them. they lost 3—0 to bayer leverkusen, the side blazing a trail in germany at the moment, five points clear top of the table. manager thomas tuchel wants to put that behind them — they do have the league's top scorer, england captain harry kane, so will always be in with a chance. tuchel knows tonight's opponents will be tough to beat later. we are not going to talk about weaknesses, certainly not publicly. they are a disciplined, hard—working team, structured and clear and how
1:36 pm
they do things in either a a33, or aiai. they are clear in their deep defending and as ever with their coach, they keep things tight. they are very attuned to each other, very in sync and tough to beat. i think it is going to be a very emotional game for the fans, and they will try to use that to their advantage. we are prepared for that. rugby union, and it is ahead of the six nations match for england. their 32—year—old centre has recovered from groin injury. england have won both their matches so far at the tournament and are chasing a first six nations title since 2020. lewis hamilton is hopeful the new mercedes car for the upcoming season will help the team become more competitive again. the seven time champion moves to ferrari in 2025, and was speaking at the unveiling, where the team hope the new car can offer a complete relaunch for their fortunes. i offer a complete relaunch for their fortunes. ~ . offer a complete relaunch for their fortunes. ~' . . . fortunes. i think we have had a
1:37 pm
difficult couple _ fortunes. i think we have had a difficult couple of years - fortunes. i think we have had a difficult couple of years which i fortunes. i think we have had a i difficult couple of years which has been really grounding for us, and it is nowjust going through the important process, being diligent with our work, understanding the data and the car and maximising at practice, evenjust one data and the car and maximising at practice, even just one lap we might get in the rain today, might give us a bit of a feeling of what is to come. some big names in action at the snooker. earlier, dominic dale got the better of alfie davis in the all wales clash between the pair stop dale one the encounter to progress to the next round. she may only be 19, but andrea spendolini sirieux is already a world, european and commonwealth champion diver, with big hopes for the paris olympics. she's just returned from the world aquatics championships, where she added two bronze medals and a gold to her collection. despite all the success, andrea insists that she's still learning and leaning on the expertise of teammates like tom daley.
1:38 pm
i struggled a lot with the 3.5 that we did in the team event and i was very, very... iwanted we did in the team event and i was very, very... i wanted to make a technical change and when i did a synchro with tom after two possessions i had made a huge, it wasjust like a jump that possessions i had made a huge, it was just like a jump that i made possessions i had made a huge, it wasjust like a jump that i made in my technical changes. tom is so inspiring, and to be able to dive alongside everyone, you know, we pushit alongside everyone, you know, we push it to —— each other to do better and we encourage each other, and it is so nice to be in that team environments, where everyone wants the best for each other. haw environments, where everyone wants the best for each other.— the best for each other. how does it feel now because _ the best for each other. how does it feel now because it _ the best for each other. how does it feel now because it was _ the best for each other. how does it feel now because it was historic - the best for each other. how does it feel now because it was historic forl feel now because it was historic for you in doha, i don't think any british woman has ever won a medal in the individual event, as you did. so how does it feel now, being in the spotlight? is that something that you are getting used to now? i guess with those performances, more and more people are going to be talking about your achievements. i try to stay as humble as possible. i need to still reproduce in other competitions, just because i won a medal at the world championships doesn't mean i canjust stop
1:39 pm
medal at the world championships doesn't mean i can just stop there. it is by the grace of god and strength that i am provided. but we need to remember that you must stay humble. i've got other competitions this year. i've got the olympics, nationals, so i don't want to get ahead of myself. i don't want to slow down, ijust ahead of myself. i don't want to slow down, i just want to get ahead of myself. i don't want to slow down, ijust want to get better and better. ifi slow down, ijust want to get better and better. if i say yes, this is it, this is not it for me. i want even more points. i want nines and tens and the chinese are still in front of me. i am chasing their scores and i want to apply as much pressure on them as they do on me. they are exceptional and they are a great inspiration as well. their work ethics, their training, their dives. they are majestic. finally, it was a0 years ago today that jayne torvill and christopher dean made history with gold in the winter olympics in sarajevo, for their iconic bolero routine. the duo have today announced their retiring from skating together in 2025.
1:40 pm
next spring they'll embark on a farewell tour across the uk, to say goodbye to fans ahead of hanging up their skates one final time. this morning they spoke to bbc breakfast. oh, it brings back so many memories. we had the opportunity yesterday to go back to the stadium where we performed that night, and we literally stood on the spot where we knelt down to start the routine. it sent chills up my spine, just being there again, and just taking in the sights and sounds of the city. it conjures up so many memories of a0 years ago. conjures up so many memories of ao ears auo. ~ . ., conjures up so many memories of ao earsauo.~ . ., years ago. what went through your mind when you _ years ago. what went through your mind when you heard _ years ago. what went through your mind when you heard the - years ago. what went through your mind when you heard the cloud - years ago. what went through your| mind when you heard the cloud and you started to get a sense ofjust how good it was? you started to get a sense of 'ust how good it wagi how good it was? well, actually, startin: how good it was? well, actually, starting the _ how good it was? well, actually, starting the routine _ how good it was? well, actually, starting the routine we _ how good it was? well, actually, starting the routine we went - how good it was? well, actually, starting the routine we went into j starting the routine we went into our own — starting the routine we went into our own bubble. we are telling a story, _ our own bubble. we are telling a story, it — our own bubble. we are telling a story, it is — our own bubble. we are telling a story, it is very intimate, it is a love _ story, it is very intimate, it is a love story _ story, it is very intimate, it is a love story. we wanted the cloud to be four— love story. we wanted the cloud to be four years, if you like, and sort of watch _

1:43 pm
this is bbc news. we are getting more on the fallout after labour removed a candidate who remains on the ballot for the rochdale by—election, and the suspension of graham jones, who was due to stand at the general election in hyndburn. we have been hearing from scottish labour leader anas sarwar who responded to suggestions that keir starmer may be perceived as being weak over his handling of the matter. i as being weak over his handling of the matter-— the matter. i think this is a strong leadership- _ the matter. i think this is a strong leadership. strong _ the matter. i think this is a strong leadership. strong leadership- the matter. i think this is a strong j leadership. strong leadership that says, my party had to change, and so he changed it. strong leadership that said we need a strong opposition and he delivered it. strong leadership that says we will only go into an election making promises we know we can keep, and only promising things that we know can be delivered, so people have the confidence when they vote labour that what is promised will be
1:44 pm
delivered if we elect a uk labour government. that's strong leadership and the kind of decisive leadership we need in our country. we are of course set to have a general election here this year, with big elections elsewhere around the world including in india and the us. there's plenty of concern about the way artificial intelligence and deepfakes could be abused and used to spread mistruths during the campaigns. in fact it has already happened. last year an ai generated fake audio clip of the london mayor sadiq khan was shared hundreds of thousands of times online. the clip was so convincing that it inflamed protests in the real—world. 0ur disinformation and social media correspondent marianna spring reports. last november, sadiq khan was the target of a deepfake audio recording. 'i control the met police. 'they will do, as the mayor of london tells 'them and obey orders...�* it was deliberately made to give the impression that i'd said what i hadn't said, but it looked and sounded so authentic. you know, we did get concerned very quickly about what impression
1:45 pm
it may create. the timing explains why the clip went viral. whether or not a pro—palestinian march should take place on saturday, the 11th of november, armistice day, was a source of political tension. the march went ahead, but there were concerns the faked clip fanned tensions at a counter—protest. we almost had serious disorder at that weekend. as it was, were elements of the far right there, police officers were injured, arrests were made. butjust imagine in a different scenario where there's more toxicity or, for example, in a close election, close referenda, times where there's disharmony in a community, the impact a deepfake audio, an ai generated audio video could have. i hunted down the suspected creator of this deepfake, an account named hjb news. the man behind the profile, henry, called me on the phone. he refused a recorded interview, but he did
1:46 pm
allow his words to be voiced up by an actor based on my notes.
