leo the very hungry lab. time for a look at the weather, here's stav danaos. thanks, sophie. good evening to you. not much change in the weather as we head into tomorrow. what you will notice though is the easterly wind picking up further so a cold, strong wind tomorrow. more sunshine around across england and wales with most places dry. more cloud across western areas. the showers across wales will travel across the irish sea into parts of northern ireland. many places drier overnight. where we have clearer skies the temperatures down one or 2 degrees. two to 5 degrees where breeze picks up. isobars are close together, chilly air moving across from scandinavia across the north sea. we start cloudy but the sunshine should become quite widespread across the day. that wind will be noticeable, a

significant wind chill to add on that, despite more sunshine around. certainly noticeable across the north sea coast and channel coasts. six to 10 degrees, it will feel colder than that. saturday and sunday, low—pressure skirts to the south of the uk, trying to send weather fronts northwards but we hang on to the nagging easterly wind both days of the weekend. lots of cloud across northern and eastern areas, spots of rain moving north—westwards. it will not be a wash—out. we could tap into something milder across central and southern parts of the country but a chilly day to come across much of scotland and north—east england. sunday is cloudy across the board, spots of light rain, drizzle across northern and eastern areas expose the easterly wind. the best of any sunshine will be towards the west, west wales and it won't be quite as warm on sunday night, 11 degrees. next week, the winds begin to ease. we hang onto an north, north—easterly wind.

thanks, stav. and that's the bbc news at six. hello and welcome to sportsday this thursday night. i'm chetan pathak. coming up on the programme... ..bowled out after another batting collapse — a disappointing day for england in dharamsala as india take control of the final test. red bull suspend the woman who accused christian horner of inappropriate and controlling behaviour, as he says it's time to draw a line. and it's a busy night in europe for five british clubs, three of whom are already in action. we'll bring you the latest shortly. liverpool have started very well in prague. also coming up on sportsday before 7 — manny gets his moment. immanuel feyi waboso is named in england's starting line—up

for their six nations match against ireland. and anthonyjoshua weighs in 20 pounds lighter than francis ngannou, as the heavyweight pair go eye—to—eye ahead of theirfight in riyadh. welcome along, thank you forjoining us. we start tonight with an all too familiar story as england struggled with the bat again in india. they weren't much better with the ball. day one of the fifth and final test saw them dismissed for little over 200 runs in dharmsala, before india ended the day 135 for i. the series is already over — and now england's hopes of ending the tour with a win might well be, too. andy swiss was watching.

it is one of sport's most breathtaking backdrops in the shadow of the himalayas. but could england's batsmen keep their cool? at first, they did. zak crawley scaling even greater heights during a fluent 79. whenjohnny bairstow made a blistering start, a big total beckoned. but the wheels came off. first, bairstow, thenjoe root. then ben spokes for a duck. suddenly, india were on top. they also last seven wickets for just 43 runs, india were on top. they also last seven wickets forjust 43 runs, 280 all—out. could india's batsmen press on their advantage? how's this for an answer? hitting 36 and it over

off bashir as the hosts cruise past 100. he did eventually get some revenge. going for 57, 100. he did eventually get some revenge. going for57, but 100. he did eventually get some revenge. going for 57, but gil picked up where he left off. india ending the day in total control, and it's england who now have a mountain to climb. andy swiss, bbc news. disappointing day. i think we were hoping for a lot more winning the toss. we've come out of it, we're obviously a bit behind the game. not quite the score that we wanted, but we got through to lunch quite like me —— quite nicely. the afternoon was obviously where it all changed. i think they spun the ball hard more than we've seen from anyone else. may be left a few out there and

and all anyone is talking about is still christian horner. as much as he would like to move on from this, as much as he tries to block out the noise, that controversy continues. this is all stemming from allegations that were made against him by a female colleague of inappropriate behaviour. he has always denied that and last week, the grievance was dismissed by the team's parent company red bull. today, there is a team principal �*s press conference in saudi arabia ahead of this weekend's grand prix, and all of the questions from the media were to arrested at creek channel horner surrounding this controversy. he asked if he had any regrets, he said one has to go back to the basis of agreements was raised, it was fully investigated and it was dismissed. "i think an awful lot has been made out of this and i think time now is to look

forward and to draw a line under it. we are here to go racing." clear that he thinks everyone should be moving on and talking about the race this weekend. it emerged that the woman who had accused him of inappropriate and controlling behaviour has been suspended on full pay by red bull racing. they declined to comment, saying it was an internal matter. whilst horner maintains his team is unified, we heard comments in recent days from max verstappen's father, who said this whole issue was driving people apart. max said yesterday — he's a three—time world champion — he said that his father wasn't a liar as well as rival teams calling for more transparency. honda told us they're looking for full clarity as soon as possible. the sport is one that's fast—moving and has power dynamics at its heart, and as long as key

stakeholders are calling for more transparency on this issue, horner�*s problems persist. {lilia transparency on this issue, horner's problems persist.— problems persist. 0k, we can leave it there. problems persist. 0k, we can leave it there- laura _ problems persist. 0k, we can leave it there. laura scott _ problems persist. 0k, we can leave it there. laura scott in _ problems persist. 0k, we can leave it there. laura scott in london. - next tonight, five british sides are playing in europe this evening. we'll start in rome, where two brighton & hove albion fans were stabbed last night ahead of their side's europa league match against roma. officials say both fans were taken to hospitaljust after midnight and treated for non—life—threatening injuries. about 3,500 brighton fans have travelled out there for the game. it's half—time at the stadio 0lympico. joe lynskey has been following it. brighton haven't really made the start they would've hoped to. yeah, i think start they would've hoped to. yeah, i think aside — start they would've hoped to. yeah, i think aside from _ start they would've hoped to. yeah, i think aside from the _ start they would've hoped to. yeah, i think aside from the troubling - i think aside from the troubling incidents in rome last night, brighton should really look at this game and theirfans brighton should really look at this game and their fans will certainly look at it as a remarkable moment on theirjourney. 25 years after almost falling out of the football league, they're in a knockout match in the stadio 0lympico in rome. it's been a

wales don't play france until sunday, before that — like england ireland, scotland play on saturday and they've made three changes to their starting line—up away to italy. cameron redpath comes in at inside centre to replace the injured sione tuipulotu. he'll miss the rest of the tournament after limping off against england. george horne takes over from ben white at scrum—half and andy christie comes in to the back row, instead of former captain jamie ritchie. time now for some tennis — with indian wells under way, and plenty of british players to update you on. with lots of scrutiny over his future, andy murray is into the second round after a straight—sets win over david goffin. the three—time grand slam champions will face the russian fifth seed andrey rublev in the next round. dan evans and emma raducanu play their opening round matches in california later this evening. but after the biggest win of her career on sunday when she won the title in san diego, katie boulter is out of indian wells, beaten in straight sets by italy's camila giorgi. boulter called it a humbling

defeat afterwards. jack draper has also gone out in the opening round, losing to australia's christopher 0'connell. rafael nadal has expressed what he calls his "great sadness" at having to withdraw from indian wells. he made his long—awaited return after almost a year out with injury injanuary at the brisbane international, but suffered a hip injury there and says he's not yet ready to play at the highest level. and away from indian wells, the queen's club is set to stage a pre—wimbledon tournament for women for the first time since 1973, which would be held the week after the french open injune, and before the men's tournament the following week. plans need to be sanctioned by the wta, and it could start as early as next year. in little over 24 hours, anthonyjoshua will go up against francis ngannou in their highly anticipated heavyweight fight in saudi arabia. today, joshua weighed in 20le lighter than his opponent

and ade adedoyn was there for us. none of the pushing and shoving you sometimes see in the lead up to a majorfight. there was sometimes see in the lead up to a major fight. there was a very long stare down. neither man wanted to blink. the way francis ngannou performed alongside... david hey. it's a fascinating fight because if it's a fascinating fight because if i said to you a year ago that anthonyjoshua would face francis ngannou, you would have laughed. i wouldn't have thought there was a chance in hell that he would last two or three rounds. when you have a supreme, legal or professional boxer against somebody who's never had an amateur or professional fight, i'd say there's no chance. but francis ngannou is that guy who's just a freak of nature who put down tyson fiore. —— tyson fury. he knows he's

people build up on the bbc sport website. from me, that's all for now. good night. hello there. thursday has been a predominantly dry day, but the amount of cloud you've seen has varied a lot from place to place. best of the sunshine has been across the western side of the country. a lovely day here in nairn in highlands, scotland, but you can also see the extent of the day's cloud on this satellite picture, particularly affecting parts of east wales, central and eastern england, eastern parts of scotland. so, a big difference from the west coast of scotland, the east coast of scotland in st andrew's, fife, very grey. we've even seen a bit of drizzle falling from that cloud. and overnight we go, the cloud will continue to roll in from the north sea, thick enough at times to give us

occasional patches of light, rain or drizzle on and off. temperatures kept above freezing by the brisk winds — 2—5 degrees for the most part. however, where the winds drop light, if we get some clearer spells, we could see just an odd nip of frost in rural areas. friday, well, we've got low pressure to our southwest, high pressure to our northeast, and overall, friday promises to be a windier day, so that's going to make it feel a bit colder if you're out and about. the uk's only named wind is the helm wind — that's going to be with us blowing over crossville and into cumbria. 0ver into the west of high ground, gusts could reach into the 40s of miles an hour, so it will be a blustery kind of day. and again, there could be occasional spits of drizzle, maybe a bit of mist coming in off the north sea at times. temperatures on the low side around our north sea coast. otherwise, in the west, temperatures quite close to average. the weekend is dominated by this area of low pressure, which brings us some thicker cloud and the threat of some areas of rain. now, it's not going to be raining all the time. on saturday, we're just

looking at some patches coming up across england, wales into northern ireland, the best of the day's sunshine and drier weather for western scotland. we may well find some persistent showers, so quite a wet day potentially across the eastern hills across the eastern hills of scotland, maybe some sunny spells breaking through across the midlands, east anglia and southeast england later in the day. but around those north sea coasts, temperatures will continue to struggle, as indeed they will once again on sunday. the onshore winds continuing to blow across the cold north sea, making it feel chilly again. you can see cloud and patches of rain. the best of any sunshine is once again likely to be to the north and west of the uk. temperatures quite close to average in london, but again on the cold side for east scotland and parts of eastern england.
