i'm going to take you back one year because things were different in 2023 in february, the land was parched, the driest february for 30 years. same place and structure, saturated ground, some parts of the midlands have had more than twice the february rainfall you would expect. we haven't got persistent rain today but we have lots of showers in western scotland, driving into other western areas, and showers will develop further east as cloud has been taken in. it is more chilly today with typical temperature is around eight celsius. those showers that develop in the next few hours will fade this evening, retreating back to western coastal areas. some heavier showers coming into the south later tonight, with a dusting of snow over the top of dartmoor. another first in scotland, a chilly night elsewhere, temperatures flirting with freezing, with some folk patches in the morning and the midlands, otherwise some sunshine. showers in the

south—west moving along the south coast into the south—east of england. showers bubbling up elsewhere but not as many showers as today. those temperatures not really changing too much, typically 9—10 celsius, but there will not be much wind blowing tomorrow so for the rugby and the six nations it may well be dry, and in dublin, and the chance of a sharon murrayfield with the sun setting on a chilly evening with a cold night to come tomorrow night. not so much in the south—west where we have this area of low pressure moving in, bringing wet weatherfor pressure moving in, bringing wet weather for the rugby match pressure moving in, bringing wet weatherfor the rugby match in france on sunday. we are just catching that rain. it now looks like it is maybe a bit further north, so maybe southernmost parts of wales and southern england will see rain developing, with the wind picking up as well. elsewhere, it may well be dry with cloud, some sunshine in the east, showers in the far north—west of scotland, and those temperatures again around eight celsius. heading into the beginning of next week, follow that

area of low pressure tracking into continental europe with a rich coming in from the atlantic, bringing dry weather to many parts of the country, cloud coming into northern scotland, but the bulk of the cloud on monday will be stocked over east anglia and the south—east, with the potential for some over east anglia and the south—east, with the potentialfor some rain over east anglia and the south—east, with the potential for some rain to continue in places. not only that, it will be windy, with strong to gale force north—easterly winds, making it mutually, and again, those temperatures around 8—9 degrees. thanks, darren. and that's bbc news at one. hello and welcome to sportsday. joe root the record england had made a strong start to the fourth test with his tenth century against

india. it isa india. it is a counter offer liverpool in the europa league. they have sparta prague in the last 16. on the eve of the calcutta cup clash, we will hear from the scotland and england caps. —— campus. hello, welcome along. joe root was at the heart of england's fight back on the first day of their fourth test against india in ranchi. he reached his 31st test century and his tenth against india, which is a record. what a valuable one it could prove to be, with england batting first after winning the toss and reaching 302—7 at the close. england started well enough, but there was a clatter of wickets before lunch. zak crawley made a bright 42, but he was one of three victims for debutant akash deep.

when captain ben stokes fell on the stroke of lunch, england were really wobbling on 112—5. root had been short of runs in the series and his shot selection attracted criticism during england's thrashing in the last test, but here he was back to his best, although it was the slowest hundred scored in the �*bazball era' under stokes and coach brendon mccullum. his brought up his ton off the 219th delivery faced, with a boundary. that moves him ahead of steve smith, who he was level with on nine centries against india. a good day for england, with the pitch expected to deteriorate. a phenomenal knock. he is probably the only bloke in a team you could have done that knock. he is our best player and he stepped up when we needed him to. we needed him to get a score and to go to score, like he

has done for so many years now. it was tricky with the fields they were setting _ was tricky with the fields they were setting but we just talked about being _ setting but we just talked about being present, just planned the situation — being present, just planned the situation and we needed to more caution _ situation and we needed to more caution on — situation and we needed to more caution on that pitch with the variable _ caution on that pitch with the variable bounce. at times we counter punch _ variable bounce. at times we counter punch today, — variable bounce. at times we counter punch today, but they played it perfectly, they well at work —— they read it _ perfectly, they well at work —— they read it welt — perfectly, they well at work —— they read it well. theyjust knocked it around _ read it well. theyjust knocked it around and — read it well. theyjust knocked it around and play perfectly. we've had the draws for the last 16 in europea league and europa conference league. five british sides are still involved in the second and third tier uefa competitions. premier legaue leaders liverpool will face the czech champions, sparta prague, in the europa league. brighton will face roma. the 2022 finallists rangers are up against the portuguese champions, benfica. west ham have german opposition in freiburg. the first legs will take place on 7th march. aston villa are the sole british representative in the europa conference.

they have got ajax in the last 16, who are having a tough season and winning this competition could be their most realistic route back into europe. northern ireland's women are in montenegro playing the first leg of their nation's league play—off. they their nation's league play-off. they have been playing _ their nation's league play—off. tie: have been playing just over their nation's league play—off. ti9:1: have been playing just over 30 minutes. it is coolness so far. the northern irish are trying to avoid relegation from group b. montenegro are looking to get promoted out of group c, but coolness so approaching half—time. england forward beth mead will be working with football's world governing body, fifa, in an attempt to find out why so many female players suffer anterior cruciate ligament injuries. mead returned to the england squad in november after a year out, having impressed on her comeback with arsenal at the start of the season. she and her clubmate

vivianne miedema suffered acl injuries at the end of 2022 and were forced to miss last year's world cup, but they're far from alone. england manager sarina wiegmann says fixture congestion has a large part to play. we have the issue of course about the injuries. i think that is the bigger picture than those two injuries. it is about the load of the players, we talk about the calendar a lot, that we have to address the calendar. i spoke about that last week, too, we asked fifa and uefa to change things. after a fortnight break, the six nations is back this weekend. table—topping ireland host wales tomorrow, while england will be looking to maintain their 100% record this campaign when they take on scotland at murrayfield. england captainjamie george says the match will be special and emotional following the death of his mother last week. he says he has decided

to play because his mother, jane, never missed a game and it is what she would have wanted. the rest of his family will be in the stands. it has been amazing to be able to come back into camp. it has been a tough couple of weeks but what a great environment for me to come back into. the boys have welcomed me back into. the boys have welcomed me back and been there for me, giving me enough time and space, but this is a huge game this weekend and that is a huge game this weekend and that is why i'm desperate to be involved in it. we have a huge amount of respect for scotland and what they have done over the last couple of years and the team they have created here. we know it is a huge test and i love playing at murrayfield so it is nice to be back in edinburgh. scotland will be keen to bounce back after following their opening victory against wales with a controversial defeat to france in their last match at murrayfield. they have won the last three calcutta cup contests against england. the last time they won four in a row

was almost 130 years ago. going back to my first plan was scotland, it was a massive game, one of the biggest games in the calendar, but now we have got to agree a position where they are all kind of similar. we are not satisfied by beating just one or two teams in this competition. it is still a massive game and the history behind it, but for us, we have to approach it asjust behind it, but for us, we have to approach it as just another game, another chance for us to get a victory. the funeral has been held for the kenyan marathon world record—holder kelvin kiptum, who died in a car crash last sunday. kiptum and his rwandan coach, gervais hakizimana, were killed in a crash in western kenya. kiptum was one of the most exciting prospects to emerge in road running having broken the world record in only his third appearance in an elite marathon. kenyan president william ruto and iaaf president sebastian coe were both in attendance in

back—up her uk citizenship was revoked on the grounds of national security shortly after she was found in a refugee camp in 2019. here's the judge, dame sue carr, delivering the ruling in the court of appeal. in conclusion, for these reasons, we unanimously dismiss the appeal. it could be argued that the decision in ms begum's case was harsh. it could also be argued that ms begum is the author of her own misfortune. but it is not for this court to agree or disagree with either point of view. our only task is to assess whether the deprivation decision was unlawful. we have concluded it was not and the appeal is dismissed.
