david sillito, bbc news. # you look wonderful tonight... # time for a look at the weather. here's stav danoas. good evening. a weatherfront cushion to the north and west through tonight. a tale of two halves, wet and windy across scotland and northern ireland, england and wales under clearing skies with lighter winds means it will be cold and frosty with some fog around. you can see the weather front and stronger winds riding across the far north and west as we move into the first part of the night. turning better and more windy here, snow on the hills in scotland. england and wales, the wind will fall light, some dense fog to watch out for across parts of the east midlands. sub zero values here, not as cold further north and west because of bad weather front. we started with some early practice, mist and fog to watch out for for

england and wales. that should paid, this weather front weakens as it pushes south into england and wales through the afternoon. it are behind it for the far north of england, scotland and northern ireland. central and blustery showers, a bit wintry on the hills. temperatures from 6 to 9 sources. the middle part of the week, this next system moves in, it will bring a wedge of wild area so it will be turning gradually as we move through wednesday but also more cloudy and more windy. it struck chilly, perhaps some early mist and fog across the southeast. some early brightness then wetter and breezy, the weather pushes in from —— into northern and western areas. temperatures will be climbing with home wetter and more windy weather into the low teens. still quite chilly across the far north and east. as we end february, staying unsettled and mild, but then towards the first few days of march, turning unsettled and cold once again. thanks, stav.

and that's bbc news at six. now its time to join our colleagues for the news where you are. goodbye. hello there and welcome to sportsday. i'm gavin ramjaun. a sense of relief and a sense that we were right that the rules of got off... could they do it again? maidstone united are in the mood for more as a cup giant killing. england make a go of it, but it's too little, too late. also coming up on sportsday... a park run like no other. we heard

from blind runner kelly barton. hello there and welcome along to sportsday. we start with big news from today in the premier league. everton have had their points deduction for breaking spending rules reduced from ten points to six by an independent commission. the club were punished back in november last year for breaches over a three—year period to 2021—22. it's a significant day for the club, who started the dayjust above the bottom three, precariously hovering above the relegation zone. but after today's appeal, which everton say they feel vindicated by, they climb to up to 15th and are now five points ahead of luton and now above brentford and nottingham forest — forest themselves facing a potential punishment for a breach of a similar nature. let's hear what the fans think. the team now might be, bit of

emphasis for them, because there hasn't been... and it would be. sense of relief and a sense we were i’i l ht sense of relief and a sense we were right that _ sense of relief and a sense we were right that the rules have got fit for purpose. let's get more on this now with our sports editor dan roan. good to see it. a huge club for the —— day for the club. remind us how we got to where we are. this -- day for the club. remind us how we got to where we are.— -- day for the club. remind us how we got to where we are. this so i go really began — we got to where we are. this so i go really began five _ we got to where we are. this so i go really began five years _ we got to where we are. this so i go really began five years ago - we got to where we are. this so i go really began five years ago in - really began five years ago in effect because that was the beginning of the three—year accounting period —— this saga. it's those three seasons, 19—22, that everton were charged with having reached the premier league's profit and sustainability rules. the financial regulations effectively for bid clubs from losses amounting

for bid clubs from losses amounting for aversive a certain number over a three season period. they were referred to an independent commission, and in november, we found out that they had been having a record ten—point deduction for breaching those by around 19 and a half million pounds. they say mitigating factors should have been take into account — for example, the cost of building a new stadium a short distance from here. of the independent commission found that this was a serious breach, handed them the hefty is a sanction in premier league history, ten—point deduction. they said it was disproportionate and they lodged an appeal. last month, we learned that they were hit with a second charge for more recent separate three—year period. that three years ended in

2023. nottingham forest were hit with a similar charge for the same three—year period as well. and today, we heard finally the outcome of the appeal relating to that first charge. so, that is the timeframe leading up to this point. the second charge, we won't know the outcome until later this season, and what's fascinating is that results in an appeal, it may be after that we hear the outcome of both everton and forest's case. the outcome of both everton and forest's case-— forest's case. dan, what will the clubs be thinking _ forest's case. dan, what will the clubs be thinking of— forest's case. dan, what will the clubs be thinking of this - forest's case. dan, what will the clubs be thinking of this and - forest's case. dan, what will the clubs be thinking of this and how forest's case. dan, what will the l clubs be thinking of this and how it is played out? i clubs be thinking of this and how it is played out?— is played out? i guess it 'ust de-ends is played out? i guess it 'ust depends on i is played out? i guess it 'ust depends on what i is played out? i guess it 'ust depends on what clubs h is played out? i guess itjustl depends on what clubs you're is played out? i guess itjust - depends on what clubs you're talking about. i think bradford will be ruing this appeal word for dick because it does increase the chances that they will be going down —— this verdict. it's a huge boost to everton survival. they've risen up

to five points clear of the relegation zone, so that will be a major boost to them. but as we've said, there is the second case pending. i think what it does is provide something of a benchmark for what clubs can expect to be hit by if they are found to be a breach of these rules. i know each case is obviously different, but i think it sets a certain precedent, and clearly, the sanction is not quite as tough as what the premier league envisaged. it is something like a blow for them and for the independent commission. the appeal board found that there have been two legal errors. it was on that basis that the ten points were reduced to six points. it's not as if it was completely wiped out. it's not as if the point deduction was completely cleared and everton were instead he had to just simply a fine for example. so, if that had been the case, i think the viability of these financial regulations would've been

cast into grave doubt. but it is still a relatively hefty sanction. i still a relatively hefty sanction. i still think many, it will provide a deterrent for clubs to be concerned about falling into this trap and encouraging them to be careful. just briefl , encouraging them to be careful. just briefly, what will the premier league field today in their pursuit of their clubs? i league field today in their pursuit of their clubs?— league field today in their pursuit of their clubs? i think the premier leaaue of their clubs? i think the premier league perhaps — of their clubs? i think the premier league perhaps is _ of their clubs? i think the premier league perhaps is something - of their clubs? i think the premier league perhaps is something of. of their clubs? i think the premier league perhaps is something of a| league perhaps is something of a blow to them given that the feeling is they wanted a heftier point deduction to set a very tough deterrent. nonetheless, it is still six points, still something that clubs will be desperate to avoid. they have always maintained that these rules and any sanctions are there for a reason. mother people have a different view, that perhaps the rules aren't the best way to go about it —— other people. manchester city are facing more than 100

charges of breaching financial rules. they deny any wrongdoing. we understand a hearing may not be heard until the autumn. who knows when exactly that will reach conclusion? but the fact is that fans' teams don't know where they stand. ., ~ i., , fans' teams don't know where they stand. ., ~ , . stand. dan roan, thank you very much indeed. earlier, i spoke to finance lecturer christina phillipou. she told me the preachers could have a match massive impact in the years to come. ifi if i were everton, i would be nervous _ if i were everton, i would be nervous. the appeal was against the sanction. _ nervous. the appeal was against the sanction, not breach itself. it is tikety— sanction, not breach itself. it is likely that — sanction, not breach itself. it is likely that the breach is coming in. there _ likely that the breach is coming in. there is— likely that the breach is coming in. there is still concerns in relation to the _ there is still concerns in relation to the covid period, because it does cover_ to the covid period, because it does cover some — to the covid period, because it does cover some of those areas over three years _ cover some of those areas over three years given— cover some of those areas over three years. given that they were in breach— years. given that they were in breach and we haven't seen the account, — breach and we haven't seen the

joyful. you just told george after he had finished setting out the cones, walk over to the fans at the end of the stadium and share a moment to them. he was waving, he was cheering, fans were applauding him. he spoke to a couple of them and walked off to go prepare his players. they are really enjoying every moment of this fa cup, which we began all the way back in september. they come through so many ties to be here. they've already knocked out championship opposition. speaking to the fans, they really believe, they've been loving what they seen so far, and they think they seen so far, and they think they can go one further here tonight. they've done so well already. they're the lowest ranked site late in the cup —— competition. to get this far in a sense, they've got nothing to lose. this is a club as well, not about the season only, but it what it means in the context.

they went bankrupt in 1992 and had to rebuild from the very bottom, and now here they are. the prize money that they'll win from having got this far, that's something they've been talking about, how it can create a lasting legacy for the club in the community. it's already created memories of a lifetime for their fans created memories of a lifetime for theirfans here. created memories of a lifetime for their fans here.— their fans here. that can go a long wa . for their fans here. that can go a long way. for coventry, _ their fans here. that can go a long way. for coventry, we _ their fans here. that can go a long way. for coventry, we look- their fans here. that can go a long way. for coventry, we look at i their fans here. that can go a longl way. for coventry, we look at them and threatening for promotion, but failed to nonlegal opposition. they'll be wary of that happening again. they'll be wary of that happening aaain. , . ,., they'll be wary of that happening aaain. , . ., �*, again. very much so, that's something _ again. very much so, that's something their _ again. very much so, that's something their fans - again. very much so, that's something their fans were i again. very much so, that's i something their fans were telling me, before the match. they're wary that they went to wrexham, who were non—league last season. they lost 3-0 non—league last season. they lost 3—0 preston on friday. even with all that, they should still have more of

than enough to beat maidstone united. they're pushing for a playoff place and they won this competition back in 1987. their manager mark robbins won in 1990 with manchester united. sir alex ferguson's reign of the club. of course, that could account for very little in the fa cup. that's part of the reason why we love so much. that's something that robbins has been talking about. he's not shying away from the fact there could be a giant killing. they're not taking maidstone for granted. that's what the fans mostly will be hoping for. those 5,000 or so fans will be hoping to see something special with a place in the corridor heiner —— quarterfinal. a place in the corridor heiner -- quarterfinal-— a place in the corridor heiner -- quarterfinal. katie gornall at the cvs arena- _

chloe kelly is set to return for england against italy tomorrow following an assessment on a minor injury. the manchester city winger missed friday's 7—2 win over austria, but returned yesterday. and andy murray hinted that he could retire after beating the canadian denis shapavalov in the round of 32 at the dubai 0pen. murray said, "i probably don't have too long left, but i'll do as best as i can these last few months". it's all over for england in the test series against india comres only beaded in the fourth test, there are positives for england to take on a day when the odds were against them. joe wilson reports. monday morning, looking sedate, almost. india's case would be controlled by the captain at his speed. if that was his approach to winning the game, england's captain

two maturing players when it mattered. england's mistakes came earlier in the game. the series is now lost. however galla ntly, earlier in the game. the series is now lost. however gallantly, england at times have competed. joel wilson, bbc news. the loss is the first for captain ben stokes since taking over in 2022. the approach has come in for a fair amount of criticism. they failed to take their opportunities and the more recent test. stokes feels their opponents deserve more the credits. you can say everything is a missed chance when it doesn't go well, but i think you have to give so much credit to the way india pulled. i think it was very obvious that they sensed that that was an opportunity to really put us under pressure, and when you have three world—class splinters like that, you know you're going to be up against that. earlier, i spoke to our chief cricket writer, and he started by

telling me england have missed big opportunities to put their stamp on the series, but should come away with some pride. ben stokes said he was proud of the way that— ben stokes said he was proud of the way that his team have taken it to india. we all know how hard _ taken it to india. we all know how hard it— taken it to india. we all know how hard it is— taken it to india. we all know how hard it is for a visiting team to win even— hard it is for a visiting team to win even one test. it looked like england were something remarkable. they wasted chances, drop the crucial — they wasted chances, drop the crucial catch on the third morning when _ crucial catch on the third morning when robison put down dhrv. they were _ when robison put down dhrv. they were outplayed by a very skilled indian _ were outplayed by a very skilled indian team. a lot we expected in this series — indian team. a lot we expected in this series with india's spinners realty— this series with india's spinners really coming to the fore. england should _ really coming to the fore. england should reflect on wasted opportunities here and they should also be _ opportunities here and they should also be thinking about the series that came — also be thinking about the series that came before this. at this time

him there, and everyone is in great spirits there, hoping they can continue this incredible cut run and are in a place in the quarter families. you can listen on radio 5 live and bbc sounds. look at that reception there. that is just about it from us. we'll see you next time. hello there, good evening. a rather wet start across the southeast of england today, but for many, it was largely dry. the best of the sunshine towards the west today, such as here in northern ireland, also western scotland. wales and the southwest of england, seeing lots of blue sky around, some sunny spells, but also some showers blowing in from the north sea, though, further east. and the general forecast, as we head through the rest of the week, it's going to be changeable —

wet and windy at times, some frost and fog forming perhaps for some over the next couple of nights. and then the air turns briefly milder through the middle part of the week. now, overnight tonight, we look out towards the northwest of scotland, into northern ireland, where we see a couple of weather fronts approaching. temperatures dipping away for a while, but then rising again as the cloud starts to thicken and the rain pushes through. but further south, for england and wales, it's going to feel rather chilly. there'll be a frost and also some fog developing as the winds lighten — the fog most likely for the east midlands and into east anglia. but this is how we'll start off the day on tuesday. now, that fog will be slow to lift and clear. there will be some hazy sunshine across the southeastern quadrant of the uk. further north and west, that frontjust continues to slip further southwards and eastwards, but as it bumps into the high pressure, it's fizzling out. so, the rain will be really quite negligible by the time we get to the end of the day. brighter skies developing behind the front. a scattering of showers and temperatures are milder across much of scotland, northern england and northern ireland — 9 or 10 celsius here.

now, as we head through tuesday night, again, a frost possible across england and wales, but too windy for any frost to form really further north than that and another warm front approaches. now, this is going to drag with it some milderfeeling air and also some further outbreaks of rain — heaviest towards the west across northern ireland, western scotland, down through northwest england, western wales and the southwest of england. but it's a largely dry day, but with thickening cloud through the afternoon across eastern england. temperatures here reaching double figures as that milder air gradually sweeps its way eastwards. but then a couple of cold fronts will be pushing through as we head through thursday, so, again, it will be turning colderfor most. this rain pushes across east anglia through central southern england, perhaps pepping up at times. brighter skies, but also a good scattering of showers and some chillierfeeling air. some of these showers could be wintry, perhaps over the scottish mountains, so turning colder.
