ireland in particular, low single figures, may be some localised frost and icy stretches first thing tomorrow morning. tomorrow will be slightly quieter. the wind is still blustery but not as strong. a few scattered showers to begin with and they will become more widespread, drifting their way steadily north. no where near as heavy or as many as we have seen today. as a result, temperatures will be a few degrees higher, generally around nine or 14 degrees. i need to shout this from the rooftops, the low pressure is still there. but into the weekend, the isobars open up. it will get quieter. it will be drier with a little more sunshine saturday and sunday. make the most of it if you can. there is a risk of some nuisance rain across east anglia and a view more scattered showers across scotland and south—west england. 0ne scotland and south—west england. one of the whole there will be a little more sunshine, lighter wind and, as a result, it will be warmer, with temperatures peaking at 15 degrees. slightly above where they should be for this time of year. don't forget, we spring forward into british

summertime for the second half of the weekend. 0n summertime for the second half of the weekend. on sunday, we actually have a little bit more sunshine around once again. the rain is set to return for easter monday, i'm afraid. make the most of it if you can. its time to join our colleagues for the news where you are. hello and welcome to sportsday this thursday night, i'm chetan pathak, coming up on tonight's programme. sandro tonali is charged by the fa for allegedly breaking betting rules after joining newcastle. can arsenal keep hold of the women's league cup and end chelsea's hopes of a quadruple winning season? two former england internationals join me to discuss. and we look ahead to rugby league's rivals round this easter weekend — including the meeting between the two super league heavyweights st helens and wigan

warriors. two of the best teams against interfere some encounter where it's great for the sport. also coming up on sportsday before seven... and from hollywood to the homeless world cup — oscar—nominated actor bill nighy tells us about his new football film. welcome along, thank you forjoining us. we start tonight with the news that newcastle united midfielder sandro tonali has been charged with misconduct by the football association for alleged breaches of betting rules. our sports correspondent andy swiss

joins me now — what do we know? tonali joined newcastle last summer but is only played a few times for them. in october last year he was banned by the italian football for the ration for ten months because he had broken betting rules in his previous clubs in italy. that band was extended worldwide. he hasn't been able to play for newcastle since then. today the english fa has charged him with alleged breaches of bedding rules. these charges relate to separate allegations during his time as a newcastle player. —— betting rules. he placed 50 bets between august and october last year. newcastle has issued a statement saying they acknowledge the charge and that in their words everyone continues to fully comply and he retains the clubs full support. although tonali cannot play for newcastle he can continue to train with his newcastle teammates. he has until the 5th of april to

respond to the charges. we believe that they are- _ nottingham forest manager nuno espirito santo says he and his players are solely focusing on what's happening on the pitch. he's been speaking today for the first time since the club confirmed it'll appeal against a four—point deduction for breaching premier league profit and sustainability rules. that's left them in the relegation zone, one point from safety, going into this weekend's game against crystal palace. i think now that we know the reality, the reality is we're in the relegation zone. who are we to say that it relegation zone. who are we to say thatitis relegation zone. who are we to say that it is fair or unfair? we have to focus on what we have to do. and what we have to do is on the pitch. 0n the pitch this is the message, forget about everything and focus on our tasks so we get out of the situation. what we have to do is stick together for them everybody at the club stick together. and the

back—up of our friends is good be huge for us. and starting on saturday on city ground, play football and win games. for more on this i've been speaking to charlotte dunker, football reporter for the times, who was at today's press conference at the city ground and she believes psr has left supporters feeling disconnected. i think it's a difficult ones are the fans because i think as a whole and the way that psr and the point deductions are viewed by fans across the country, it shows that football is been one in courtrooms as well as on the pitch. it's been a disappointing run for the forest fans, they won lot 21 in the last line. they need to get back to winning ways. they have the capability, they have the power within the squad and the quality within the squad and the quality within the squad and the quality within the team to stay out for the if you look at the teams that aren't necessarily beneath them but around them, i think for the fans

disappointing. we know how much, how long they waited to get back to the premier league. they got a hope that they can stay here for a third successive season. it's far from over. they're only one point away from safety. there's nine huge games to .la _ . ., , from safety. there's nine huge games tola. . . , to play. uncertainty because they are not the _ to play. uncertainty because they are not the only _ to play. uncertainty because they are not the only ones _ to play. uncertainty because they are not the only ones affected - to play. uncertainty because they are not the only ones affected by| are not the only ones affected by this and how things could potentially play out for that in terms of the matches remaining and that run in, what strikes me is you mentioned at home game against palace, they got wolves, united and barley, it's dangerous on paper. —— burnley. it does look like there are matches that can get them out of trouble. {iii matches that can get them out of trouble. u, , , ,, matches that can get them out of trouble. _, , , ,, u, matches that can get them out of trouble. , , trouble. of course but you can look at any premier— trouble. of course but you can look at any premier league _ trouble. of course but you can look at any premier league on - trouble. of course but you can look at any premier league on paper. i trouble. of course but you can look. at any premier league on paper. we sit and we plot, who to be things get to go down and who do we think skid when the premier league? 99 it never works out how you think it's going to do. you are correct in terms of the games they got left a lot are winnable. six out of nine of those games are at home. previously

they've had a good record here at city ground. this fans are exceptional to get them over the line they definitely think they've got that and for them to stay out. i think these next two games are crucial. lujan have got spurs and arsenal. luton are the next team nearest to them and forest have got to home games for that i think after the next two games will have a better picture of where forests are going to be coming into the season. everton court case, they play at bournmouth saturday, sean dyche. he's not sure why they received a four point given that everton made fewer losses but were initially docked ten points before their appeal. his side are just four points ahead of forest in the table. i four points ahead of forest in the table. ., �* ~ ., ., four points ahead of forest in the table. ~ ., ., ., , table. i don't know of ours let alone bears — table. i don't know of ours let alone bears for _ table. i don't know of ours let alone bears for that _ table. i don't know of ours let alone bears for that may - table. i don't know of ours let alone bears for that may be i table. i don't know of ours let - alone bears for that may be there's different reasons. when it's the facts like that it sounds really obvious. i can only imagine there's

more depth to it. which is why they gave them points. 0n more depth to it. which is why they gave them points. on its simplest form, yes, of course everyone is like how does that work? the last everyone in football we're just waiting now i don't think anyone has concrete proof of how these things will go for that particularly after the first one. i think it is just from our point of view, can only give the information that's appropriate. i wasn't there but some were told they've given every bit of information that we can give. and hope they see it accordingly what the clubs have been trying to do to make sure they are in the right areas that what they need us to bn. therefore, we will hope it to nothing. staying with the theme of clubs being charged with breaking spending rules. leicester city are another one. joint leaders of the championship, they could face a points deduction somewhere down the line if they're found guilty of wrongdoing. it's the cloud hanging over them going into a bumper good friday whichjoe lynskey

is here to look ahead to. the easter weekend is bookended by two full programmes of fixtures in the championship. at the top of the table, this could be where teams assert their grip on automatic promotion, or where they fall away. but leicester city approach a weekend that could shape their future, facing allegations from the past. they've been charged by the premier league with allegedly breaking spending rules during their last three seasons in the top flight. they were relegated last season, and that means they aren't subject to the 12—week timeframe the top flight sets for these cases. it's therefore likely, any points deduction could be applied next season. leicester are also being investigated separately by the efl. amid all that, and with two huge games to come, their manager's been speaking today. it's something that we cannot

controt — it's something that we cannot control. it's something that the club is — control. it's something that the club is in — control. it's something that the club is in charge to solve the problem _ club is in charge to solve the problem and we see what's happened. can we _ problem and we see what's happened. can we control the efl embargo of the premier league deduction points? no. the premier league deduction points? n0~ why— the premier league deduction points? no. why spend energy about this? the same thing _ no. why spend energy about this? the same thing for players. we cannot control_ same thing for players. we cannot control these kinds of things. the only thing — control these kinds of things. the only thing we can control is the way we play _ only thing we can control is the way we play. and this is the only thing that we _ we play. and this is the only thing that we can — we play. and this is the only thing that we can do. well leicester still have two players in their squad who won the premier league eight years ago — that's marc albrighton and jamie vardy. and they could've had promotion sewn up by now. when they won on new year's day they went 10 points clear at the top, 17 clear of leeds down in fourth. at that point leicester were looking at points records, now they just want to be inside the top two. leeds incredible form has seen them go top, leicester have won just one

of their last five games. and this is a four way race for automatic promotion that looks set to go to the end. below that are teams seeking the play—offs. west bromwich albion well set at the moment, with norwich there with them, but three teams below them have a game in hand. at the bottom of the division, it's also congested. qpr and sheffield wednesday looked set for league one not long ago, but managerial changes have given them hope. teams as high as 16th, even watford in 12th are still looking over their shoulder. and it means that in truth, every match this weekend has something riding on it — we could've highlighted all 12 games tomorrow as key fixtures. but qpr against birmingham city — two teams just above the bottom three has particularjeopardy. huddersfield looking to capitalise.

0n easter monday, it may be southampton�*s last chance for automatic promotion when they go to ipswich. this is the stand out weekend on the calendar of football's unpredictable division. thank you. looking forward to what is to come on good friday. looking forward to what is to come on good friday. some sad news to bring you next. former nottingham forest and liverpool defender larry lloyd has died at the age 75. he was part of brian clough's forest side that won the first division in 1978 before going on to win back—to—back european cups. a former england international he also won the first division at liverpool, along with the uefa cup in the same season in 1973. the first piece of silverware in the women's football season will be won this weekend. just like last year —

chelsea will play arsenal in the league cup final. 0ver over 23,000 tickets have been sold, a record for the final. emma hayes' is hoping to win the quadruple in herfinal season whilst for the holders arsenal, this is their best chance of winning a trophy — but can they repeat what they did 12 months ago? i've been getting the thoughts of two people who've played for both clubs — former england internationals katie chapman and first anita asante: i can't wait. i'm could be at the game but to topsides, a repeat of last years final. top quality on display for the 23,000 plus tickets sold for that it can be a massive occasion in front of a huge audience. occasion in front of a huge audience-— occasion in front of a huge audience. ., ~ ., ., occasion in front of a huge audience. ., ~' ., ., , audience. you both know emma hayes -la ed audience. you both know emma hayes played under — audience. you both know emma hayes played under emma — audience. you both know emma hayes played under emma hayes, _ audience. you both know emma hayes played under emma hayes, katie, - audience. you both know emma hayes played under emma hayes, katie, thisj played under emma hayes, katie, this ourfinal played under emma hayes, katie, this our final season before she takes off of the united states job. our final season before she takes off of the united statesjob. how much will she be thinking about a quadruple, winning the champions league, which is not one for chelsea

all of our young girls in wales want to try and become. the social angles, all the players are given so much. she's definitely well respected and recognised as one of the best players who played in the retirement of rubino in seattle should probably even more the face of that team for this year until she calls it quits and decides to leave. she is such an integral piece of all that franchise. time now for some of the day's other sport stories and... celtic manager brendan rodgers has been given a one—match touchline ban with another suspended — meaning he won't miss the upcoming old firm derby against rivals rangers. his ban comes after he criticised the refereeing in their 2—0 defeat at hearts earlier this month. danny care will make his barbarians debut against fiji at twickenham injune — just three days after announcing his international retirement. care said the stars had aligned and he couldn't wait to wear the famous black and white shirt. jos buttler had a day to forget in the indian premier league.

he scored just 11 runs for the rajasthan royals — who made 185 from their 20 overs. but opponents delhi capitals were 12 runs short in their run chase and the royals claimed a hard fought win. next tonight to rugby — and england's quest for a sixth women's six nations title in a row. having beaten italy on the opening weekend, they're up against wales on saturday in bristol and 18,000 tickets have been sold for the match at ashton gate. that'll be the red roses' biggest home crowd for a match away from twickenham. gloucester—hartpury lock zoe aldcroft is set to win her 50th cap. head coachjohn mitchell has made seven changes as he continues to rotate his squad. wales have made six changes for saturday's encounter with england, 20—year—old sianjones will make her full debut at scrum—half. head coach ioan cunningham says they'll learn from their narrow 20—18 defeat to scotland in cardiff last week.

don't think the boat races are in the business of saying that is bad, working to stop you doing that. it's part of the appeal. it is a concern. live coverage of the boat race on saturday afternoon across the bbc. finally tonight, any football or play for your country can be life—changing. that's especially true for the homeless couples of the tournament in south korea involves 70 countries with players who are of all at once time or another had to sleep on the streets. the film inspired by the tournament starring the actor bill nye has been released. the actor bill nye has been released-— the actor bill nye has been released. . �* , , ., released. that's him, he is and when i told ou released. that's him, he is and when i told you about. _ released. that's him, he is and when i told you about. the _ released. that's him, he is and when i told you about. the beautiful- i told you about. the beautiful came, a i told you about. the beautiful game. a film _ i told you about. the beautiful game, a film about _ i told you about. the beautiful game, a film about the - game, a film about the homeless world cup put up a global tournament for players who all experience living raw. during bill nye. and here he is with

petaus story on sportsday before we go tonight, newcastle united midfielder tonali has been charged with misconduct by the football association for alleged breaches of betting rules. he is currently serving a ten month ban issued by the italian football federation in october for breaking betting the italian football federation in octoberfor breaking betting rules for the in italy is much more reaction to that story over on the boat bbc sport website. a big easter weekend of sport. from me and the team that is all for now. thank you for being with us. good night. hello there. good evening. plenty of wet and very windy weather around today with some squally showers pushing northwards, longer spells of rain, some of the rain falling as snow to low levels and settling for a while in northern ireland. all of the showers just swirling

around this deep area of low pressure out towards the west and it'll stay windy, really rather showery overnight tonight. so still some wet weather to come, but we'll see the skies clear for a while across parts of wales and the midlands, maybe through the small hours and some clear skies developing across northern ireland as well. the ground pretty saturated here. expect to see some mist and fog develop and we'll see some icy stretches, perhaps with temperatures dipping really quite close to freezing. it's mildest underneath the cloud in the south east of england. as we head through a good friday then there will be some rain, i think to start the day off in northwest scotland and the western isles that will clear away and plenty of sunshine to start the day, but not too long before we see the showers get going again. some of the showers heavy and thundery. there could be some hail in the mix, but generally fewer showers, more sunshine than we've seen today. still windy for england and wales, but it's warmer 11 to 1a degrees celsius with the south—westerly wind pushing us that milder feeling air.

now the low pushes further westwards as we head through saturday. so the winds will lighten. there's another low, though, just spinning off the near continent that could bring increased amounts of cloud across parts of east anglia and southeast england. there's a lot of dry weather around on saturday, plenty of sunshine, too. but again, watch out for some showers there. most likely to develop further north and west you are temperatures will be above the seasonal average, 11 to 15 degrees celsius and it's more of the same again on sunday. i think we should see a largely dry start to the day with plenty of sunshine around not too long before there'll be some showers of sunshine around, not too long before there'll be some showers and again, the most likely out towards the west, perhaps pushing into northern england, but perhaps largely dry across scotland and towards the south and the east. again, temperatures above the seasonal average. now, as we go into bank holiday monday, low pressure remains out towards the west of the uk, but there's another low just spinning off the near continent once again that could bring some more significant rainfall and then that is likely to track further northward. so some more reliable rainfall i think for bank holiday monday.

and as we head into next week, it turns a bit cooler again and stays unsettled by. and stays unsettled. this is this world today
