wintry showers country. just a few wintry showers gci’oss country. just a few wintry showers across the north—west and the highlands. this feature however will make inroads during the course of tuesday and that is going to move through fairly quickly on tuesday. then we will see a mixture of sunny spells and showers through tuesday afternoon, again, on the coal site and as we head into wednesday, another spell of rain and something another spell of rain and something a little less cold, double—figure values across the south for a time. it turns colder towards the end of the week. hello, the bbc news headlines. the haitian ambassador tells the bbc his government will summon the oxfam representative in haiti to explain how it dealt with allegations of aid workers paying for sex following the 2011 earthquake. israel asserts that it will defend itself against attack — after one of its f16 jets crashes after coming under syrian anti—aircraft fire.

football as it is goal scoring ioi from harry kane as he teaches arsenal a lesson, spurs winning the north london derby. and australia demolish england to reach the final of the world twenty20 tri— series down under. good evening, we begin with a big weekend of six nations rugby union we re weekend of six nations rugby union were england battled to a hard fought victory over wales. a game of few clear opportunities, johnny may helping england to the win, 12—6. this report from twickenham. in its own way it was a six nations classic. a grim day with drizzle

falling most of the time. the match won by the team that won the best by won by the team that won the best rugby khmers, partly, but also by the players who held their nerve. if you come to twickenham you want a good view. can you see them? wales arrived wearing tracksuits and headphones to block out the noise. rhys patchell had had his bottle questioned by england, will get the camera ready. two minutes played, high ball, rhys patchell underneath it, did not make it, the ball in the hands of farrell who kicked it to jonny may who did the rest. the second try by jonny jonny may who did the rest. the second try byjonny may is soon followed, but whatjoe launchbury, with two welsh players on him he still passed the ball to his team—mate. how could wales respond? patchell putting through a clever kick and confusion following. the tv official judging kick and confusion following. the tv officialjudging if the welsh hand

with the bandaged arm touched down the ball with control. no, he said. welsh penalties kept them close but they needed a try and this is how close they came. the clermont auvergne was there and so was some underhill to grab his man. this kind of commitment wins this kind of much. it finished 12—6 to england. i heard one england spectators say, job done, that may sum it up from a england fan point of view but what about those involved in the game? we prepared for the game, we knew it would be an arm wrestle, credit to the guys who finished the game, the finishers who came on, the scramble and the pressure not to let up in that final closing stages was

comedian, credit to the squad effort. really proud of the guys. it's a happy changing right now. after that exhausting match above all else both teams will relish a week off. england are still two from two and a perfect record. ireland made it two wins from two with a dominant victory over italy in dublin. after the last—gasp win over france last weekend it was far easier today. the irish scored eight tries in all as stewart pollitt reports. commentator: it looks good. he likes it. and ireland have stolen the game! after the last minute drop goal drama in paris surely today back on home turf victory would be an easier task for ireland. in conor o'shea italy have an irish coach but have only ever won once in dublin and that was over 20 years ago. they never threatened to improve on that record. ireland camped on the italy line from the

start, robbie henshaw touching down. two minutes later another try, green shirts allowing conor murray to strolling. commentator: murray in for try number two. brilliant handling then replaced by brute force, less effective. —— no less effective. the ball at the bottom of this pile, ireland heading top of the six nations pile. acceleration, then slicing through the italy defence and leaving his colleague a simple task. thea game and a bonus point in the bag before half—time. the game and a bonus point in the bag before half—time. the hosts didn't need a helping hand but the italians obliged nevertheless, handing henshaw a clean run to the line. italy did eventually stumble onto the scoresheet three times but there was plenty left in ireland's legs. jacob stockdale's legs in

particular, the wing racing 60 yards for the most spectacular score of the afternoon. last week they showed the fight, today a demonstration of the flair that will make ireland tough to catch in the six nations this year. stuart pollitt, bbc news. i was really happy with the first half, it felt like a curtain raiser because a big game is coming up. we got out and the players got the chance to express themselves a bit. i know that conor was keen that italy play in a similar fashion, they both tried to use the ball in contrast to last time. right from the start we got good with, that was the positive, the negative as you say is conceding those tries. a pretty good afternoon for ireland.

in the women's six nations, it's also back to back wins and eight tries for england as well, as they thumped wales at twickenham stoop. the defending champions were dominant throughout, this try from ellie kildunne earning them their bonus point within the first half hour. but the 18 year—old didn't stop there. she scored this impressive solo try from inside her own half in the 78th minute to secure england's 53—0 victory. elsewhere, scotland face france at scotstoun stadium later this evening. it is still goalless and they are in the late stages of the first half. that player is just amazing. day 2 of the winter olympics has provided lots of stunning action including, the first team gb athletes on show. they included short track speed skater elise christie, who put on a stellar show to reach the quarter final of the women's 500 metres. andy swiss reports from pyeongchang. she is britain's biggest medal hope. commentator: christie

goes to the front. elise christie soon showed precisely why. she led her 500 metres heat from start to finish, setting a new 0lympic record. it was some statement of intent. after her disqualification at the last games, what relief. i was so nervous! i was like, i'm not going to do this because i was so nervous. but actually it was fine. but then i was so excited and i'mjust glad i got to race in front of everyone again. although british hopes in the snowboarding came crashing down. jamie nicholls and team mate billy morgan both tumbling out of the slopestyle event. the women's cross country skiing meanwhile produced the first gold medallist of the games, victory for charlotte kalla from sweden. a first gold medal for the hosts brought the loudest cheer, their skater sparking euphoria as south korea celebrated its own 0lympic champion. but for team gb this was an opening

day of mixed fortunes, disappointment on the snow but elise christie's hopes of gold off to the perfect start. andy swiss, bbc news, pyeongchang. full coverage of the games across the bbc, the highlights on bbc two tonight with clare balding at seven o'clock in england wales or scotland, 7:30 in northern ireland. ok, that's the rugby covered, time for a busy day of football with lizzie and john. i'm joined byjohn bennett, i'mjoined byjohn bennett, our football reporter. six premier league games. first the late kick—off has just finished between manchester city and leicester, after reasonably equal start, city ran away with that. they were superb. they started really well. less than

two minutes gone, kevin de bruyne once more picks at the ball, stirling missed a great chance against burnley last weekend and he wasn't going to miss that. leicester got back into it before half—time, 1-1 at got back into it before half—time, 1—1 at half—time, then straight after the break city took back control, aguero with the goal, an excellent finish, riyad mahrez back with the leicester squad, coming on in the second half. he came an ovation from both sets of fans and then aguero scored once more to make it 5-1. he then aguero scored once more to make it 5—1. he scored four goals in the game. it is his 12 hat—trick for manchester city. the third time in the premier league that he has scored four goals in a single game, amazing, 21 goals already in the premier league. kevin de bruyne once my excellent, manchester city, wonderful, what more can you say. aguero is in a class of his own,

city in a class of their own. how much better, get, they arejust class of their own. how much better, get, they are just phenomenal. class of their own. how much better, get, they arejust phenomenal. they we re get, they arejust phenomenal. they were gifted a couple of goals but one small kevin de bruyne with the assist, aguero taking chances, suburb, they've got champions league coming up against fc basel and that should be comfortable going for them. did riyad mahrez make any difference? he got a good ovation from both sets of fans. not much going at all from the leicester fans. the north london derby went the way of tottenham. holly hamilton reports. they say there is no place like home and after moving into wembley at the beginning of the season, tottenham to have the place the way they like it, unbeaten at the national stadium since october last year. time now to invite the neighbours around. in front of a record—breaking crowd, the first 45 minutes were as dismal as the weather. harry kane with the only chance before the break. but just minutes into the second half, the premier league's

top goal—scorer rose to the occasion to make his seventh goal in seven games against arsenal. but for all tottenham's continued dominance they failed to capitalise on chance after chance. petr cech appearing at times to keep the visitors single—handedly in the game. further agony for arsenal as alexander lacazette missed a golden chance in the final moments. a crushing blow to arsenal's top four hopes as spurs now go seven points clear of their north london rivals. but then, who really gets on with their neighbours? holly hamilton, bbc news. we played fantastic, we created chances, but that is football, when you play in this type of xi, this type of game, if you give a chance to the openers, they can create some chances. i feel that when we analyse the 90 minutes, we deserved the

victory. in the first half we controlled well the game, the biggest regrets we had, we had three or four situations where we missed the final ball, you cannot afford that at this level. and in the second half, once they scored, we found our organisation destabilised at the back. we should have come back to 1—1. that makes defeat even harder to swallow. arsenal were poor today, only one shot on goal. disciplined in the first half, poor in the second—half but credit to spurs, they had an excellent win, should have been more goals, as we saw from that report,

harry kane with seven premier league goals in the last seven north london derbies, what a record. he doesn't seem affected by any of the hype, he just does it, his manager had good things to say about him. the miracle for swansea goes on, they look as if they will be all right this season! 14 1a points in the last seven games, since carlos carvalhal took over only one defeat in 11, unbeaten in five in the premier league, unbeaten in all competitions when you count the fa cup as well. south korea, their players scoring the only goal, amazing, with the winter olympics as well. burnley are not in good form at all. we can hearfrom carlos carvalhal, the manager working his miracle. he loves and allergies. here's another lovely quote from him. seven weeks ago they were calling it a miracle five or six years ago, we were very deep

in the ocean, down in the water. it was really very deep and we started going out, so at the moment we are not swimming. we felt the fresh air bickered is really very deep and just going up. we are not swimming now. believe me, between starting to swim and the coast is a long run. it's like eric cantona all over again. stoke and brighton, a draw, 1—1, i can't decide of brighton should have won it all if stoke should have won it all if stoke should have won and by many more goals. brighton don't score many goals. brighton don't score many goals away. stoke had to a hard to break them down, they have their chances at the end, charlie adam, his penalty saved at the end by the

australian goalkeeper ryan. charlie adam must be so disappointed. and then do you have had a header saved off the line, anthony knockaert doing so well to save it, but charlie adam must have been disappointed. paul lambert wasn't happy about that penalty. disappointing, second half, we were excellent with so much of the game, under pressure, penalties happen, i'm not going to blame anybody but this is what happens. it won't be the last he misses in his career. you scored one against coventry before we came in. if they had heard that i think the game would have been finished. i thought we had the better chances in the game. they've got a quality player that can get this type of delivery in. i felt we had the better chances, in the end of course, they had to save a penalty which i felt we were a little bit hard done by, come the end of the season we can

look at this as a good point. we will see where that leaves the teams when we look at the tables in a moment. let's move on, everton versus palace, everton winning 3—1, that could be quite an important win for everton with their new energy. in the second half they took control, gylfi sigurdsson scoring the opener, then they may it 2—0 after that. sam alla rdyce the opener, then they may it 2—0 after that. sam allardyce made four changes. the changes paid dividends. palace fought back, but then a penalty kept the minute but they weren't at the races to gay double today, and without wilfried zaha they are a shadow of the team that they are a shadow of the team that they are a shadow of the team that they are when he is there. it's a tough defeat roy hodgson. we were good value, we were

confident we could keep things going with that early goal, but followed $0011 with that early goal, but followed soon by the second one and really puts you on the back foot. i thought there were times in the second half when we played reasonable football but it was always going to be tough to get back from the third goal really, it effectively killed us off. just confirmation of today's results. we haven't mentioned west ham against watford. watford fracking chelsea and then losing to west ham! hernandez and arnautovic, it was a nervous game until arnautovic made it 2—0. david moyes doing a good job and the london stadium starting to feel like home. it's like wembley for spurs. spurs are the big movers today. it has taken them ages to get comfortable at wembley and it is weird, football

can be so weird, it's not the pitch that's different, what is it. only one defeat at wembley all season in the premier league, it does feel like home for them, great atmosphere today, they are the big winners in the table. it's seven points now, arsenal struggling to get to the top four. burnley are still seventh but at some stage they need to start winning, otherwise they will be dragged down because looking at their points that are not far from their points that are not far from the lower end teams. no wins in ten premier league games, sean dyche asked to sort this out otherwise they will waste their great start to they will waste their great start to the season. in theory any of the bottom ten could go down. the margins are so slight, that missed penalty by charlie adam could be so costly for stoke, they stay in the bottom three. john, is always a brilliantjob. in the lunch—time kick—off in the championship, new leeds united boss paul heckingbottom lost his first match in charge. they went down 2—1 to yorkshire rivals sheffield united at bramhall lane.

the home side took the lead in the second minute, with billy sharp scoring his 200th league goal in spectacular fashion against his former club. pierre—michel lasogga pulled one back for leeds, but sharp scored a second from the penalty spot to give the blades the win. the result leaves leeds without a win in eight games. elsewhere, sunderland came from 3—0 down to get a point at bristol city. second—placed derby were held by norwich at pride park. hull moved out of the relegation zone with a rare away win at nottingham forest but that draw for derby allowed wolves to extend their lead at the top to 13 points, with a 2—1win over queens park rangers. cup weekend in scotland, but a sombre mood for celtic and their fans, before they beat partick thistle they paid tribute to former player liam miller who died

yesterday aged just 36 after a short battle with cancer. celtic led one—minute's silence for the former celtic and republic of ireland midfielder. flags were at half—mast. james forrest scored twice in the first half to give the home side the best possible start. a mistake by defender simonovic allowed the opposition back into the tie. james forrest completed his hat—trick in the second half. he helped celtic to the victory and a place in the quarterfinals. no real shocks elsewhere in the scottish cup. falkirk, motherwell, hearts, kilmarnock and morton all go into the last eight. although the focus of most rugby union fans will have been on the six nations, there are still some domestic matches to take a look at. with leaders exeter suffering a shock defeat to worcester warriors gloucester remain unbeaten at home, with a 24—17 win over leicester at kingsholm.

there were also wins for sale sharks and second—placed saracens. in the pro 1a the jitters are leading cardiff 10—0, no school between munster and zebre. —— the cheaters lead cardiff. rugby league history has been made, with the first super league match played outside europe. woolongong in new south wales is one of australia's rugby league heartlands and a decent crowd watched wigan beat hull fc 24—10, thanks largely to two early tries from wing liam marshall. st helens looked to be ready to carry on where they left off after their 16—6 demolition of castleford last time out. jonny lomax with a try within a minute of kick—off gave them the lead of a catalan dragons. tries for grace and swift as well. richardson kicked nine points. the dragons haven't won yet after their opening two games.

cricket news now. australia have cruised to a seven wicket win over england in the t20 tri—series to secure their place in the final. england were restricted to 137—7, this spectacular throw from david warner removing dawid malan, after both openers had gone with only 11 runs on the board. australia reached their target with 33 balls to spare. england now face back—to—back matches with new zealand. lee westwood is out of the european tour event in perth, western australia, after a dreadful third round. he was joint leader overnight but two double bogeys put him out of contention — he'd eagled the 15th hole in the previous two rounds but today, his touch deserted him. only the top 2a players go through to the final day's matchplay. now, it's been 287 days since he last raced, but the highly—fancied altior made a triumphant return to the track. winning the betfair exchange chase at newbury. a two—time winner at cheltenham,

altior is now the odds—on favourite for the queen mother champion chase at next month's festival, which is for the fastest horses over jumps. altior and jockey nico de boinville only had to beat two others today but they did it in style for trainer nicky henderson. and there was another successful comeback in the day's other big race at newbury, when native river won the denman chase after nearly a year on the sidelines. the ‘staying chaser‘ is now second favourite for the cheltenham gold cup. britain's mark cavendish was involved in a crash on the final stage of the tour of dubai. the dimension data rider was held up when nacer bouhanni crashed with only 500 metres to go on the final corner. a chaotic sprint followed which elia viviani took on the line to win both the stage and the title. britain's adam blythe finished the stage in third. that's all from sportsday. there'll be more sport here on bbc news throughout the evening. and of course the winter olympics

heavy snow especially for central and southern scotland, this could mean significant regulations on the hills, a chilly might as well, dryer across the south, those gales will clear away on sunday morning, it's not looking bad, a much better part to them what result part one of the weekend, some good spells of sunshine, eastern and southern england, further showers across northern and western areas, it will bea northern and western areas, it will be a cold day with further snow and relations of western scotland. it looks like it will turn wetter as we head into tuesday. this is bbc news. the headlines at 8pm. the haitian ambassador tells the bbc his government wants 0xfam to explain how it dealt with allegations of aid workers paying for sex. the worst part is when they say if those crimes where reported to the haitian authorities no action would have been taken — it's really an insult. israel asserts that it will defend itself against attack,
