there mu” mur-‘ait feeding in colder air, there might be some snow on scotland's central belt as we start on monday morning. that's no will push further north gci’oss that's no will push further north across scotland during the day, another spell of rain will sing south across the rest of the uk, clearing the afternoon. then it brightens up and it is notjust a rainy and snowy in places, it is very windy again in places to soak risk of disruption and winds of 70 mph in parts of scotland. following the rain moving through, some sunshine but chilly, blustery, wintry showers.

hello, this is bbc news with lu kwesa burak. the headlines: 32 british and irish tourists have arrived at a quarantine centre in wirral — after being evacuated from a coronavirus—hit cruise ship. fears about the spread of the virus — as the number of new cases in south korea more than doubles in one day. a 29—year—old man appears in court in connection with a stabbing inside london's central mosque during afternoon prayers. the met office warns the uk to brace itself for more bad weather — with warnings of snow in scotland — and strong winds and yet more rain on the way. harry and meghan will stop

tyson fury‘s world heavyweight rematch with deontay wilder — we'll be live in las vegas ahead of tonight's fight. hello, and thanks forjoining us here on sportsday. we begin in the premier league — where chelsea struck a significant blow in the fight for the top four places with a deserved victory over tottenham at stamford bridge. in a confrontation billed as a battle between frank lampard and his old mentor, jose mourinho — spurs were simply outplayed, and are now adrift by four points. michael redford reports. it might only be a short hop across the capital, but forjose mourinho, they return to chelsea has been quite a journey. now he arrives as spurs special one, reinvented and

reacquainted. with so much at stake, this was perhaps the welcome he had feared. it took his old side of the attempts, but finally, leave your sure you found chelsea a way through. the only goal in a first handful of chances, the second brought more, marcus alonso on his left foot, there aren't many more dangerous. for frank lampard, quite a moment to remind his old mentor just how much he has learned. but it would not be a london derby without controversy, perhaps no surprise came from var, giovani lo celso with this ugly challenge. they read it, now red card, a decision that var officials admitted was wrong. but by then, the game has moved on, spurs like goal adding nothing more than if few nerves for chelsea. it is not good enough. i'm disappointed because i'm an advocate from var, i wa nted because i'm an advocate from var, i wanted to work and get those decisions right. but it's so clear that was a record incident, another?

—— question mark for us. that was a record incident, another? -- question mark for us. have the players, we don't have is striker. i thought they did very well, they pressed us, it is very difficult for us. pressed us, it is very difficult for us. so, moreno's return, but lampard's day football. in football, you are quickly forgotten. there was also var controversy in the game between burnley and bournemouth, at turf moor. burnley won 3—0 — their second goal coming via a jay rodriguez penalty, awarded by the video assistant for a handball which came in the build—up to what bournemouth thought was an equaliser to make iti—i. that goal was ruled out, play was brought back, and rodriguez made it 2—0. the first decision probably dictates the rest of the game, because for me it's a clear goal, it has come off phil's shoulders, i think it is a perfectly good goal, without the first decision, without the var getting involved in the second incident.

i think from that moment, when it went 2—0, i think we were mentally spent in the game, psychologically, we couldn't come back. up until that moment, i thought we played very well. there's another big match in the race for the top four going on right now, with leicester taking on manchester city. elsewhere — crystal palace secured their first win of 2020, as they saw off visitors newcastle. sheffield united drew 1—1 with brighton, and miss the chance to go fifth. and a big win for southampton as they beat aston villa 2—0 — which ends a run of three games without a win for saints. west brom are edging closer to a return to the premier league. they're nine points clear of the chasing pack in third in the championship — after beating bristol city 3—0. leeds beat reading to stay in second. brentford missed the chance to move up to third — after drawing with blackburn — who led 2—0 with both goals from adam armstrong. but brentford got back in it, thanks to a great strike from 0llie watkins. before a penalty from said benrahma made sure

brentford snatched a point. the draw leaves blackburn five points outside the play offs. some other key results in the championship today. forest lost ground — held to goalless draw with qpr. preston climb back into the playoff spots, with a 2—1 win over hull. alan browne with the winnerfor them. and luton stay rooted to the bottom, they lost 3—1 at charlton. to the scottish premiership now — celtic and rangers both in action tomorrow, but motherwell are up to third, despite a goaless draw at hamilton. they are a massive 21 points behind second—placed rangers though. that's after aberdeen were beaten 2—1 at home by ross county — billy mckay with both county goals. and hibs missed a penalty in their 1—1 draw with livingston, so miss the chance to leapfrog their opponents into fifth. 0nto the six nations — a huge game under way in cardiff as wales take on an unbeaten french side.

it's been a mixed bag for wales under new head coach wayne pivac — with one win and one defeat so far. wales got the first points on the board — but when leigh halfpenny couldn't deal with a high ball — the ball fell kindly for france's anthony bouthier, who scored the opening try. there was an injury concern for wales as george north had to leave the field for a head injury assesment — but he did reappear in the stands. france then had a try disallowed, before paul willemse scored to put them in the driving seat. wales responded immediately after the break — dillon lewis crossing over by the posts. but just as wales were getting back into it — romain ntamack read a nick tompkins pass and then had a clear run to the line to score. france lead 27—16 at the moment. france lead 27—25 at the moment.

, 27-23. scotland are have their first win of this year's six nations. they scored three tries against a poor italy side in rome this afternoon. captain stuart hogg was among them — the result going some way, to easing the pressure on head coach gregor townsend. rhia chohan reports. the coliseum sits across town, but these days, it's at the stadio 0limpico that battle is done in rome. if history between italy and scotland has anything to go by, this was set to be tense. even more so because both were yet to win a match in this season's championship. it took until round three, but stuart hogg was able to create a big moment for scotland, who had

failed to score a try in their in their opening to score a try in the opening 26 nations games. minutes later, ali price what he had doubled the lead, but replays revealed a forward pass in that they build up. after the break, scotland were creeping forward phase by phase and putting the pressure on. their patienvce eventually prevailed. italy's defenders were eventually forced wide, allowing chris harris to get over the line. not pretty but effective. it was a performance far from perfect, adam hastings missing his second conversion of the game, but even he had his moment. in a counterattack, the fly—half was able to finish the job for scotland in what was a stroll, stretching their lead to 17—0. we had to stick and at times in defence. to see the players with their first victory of the championship against a difficult opponent, we are obviously delighted. there is a lot of work to do. we'll go into the last two games

with confidence. there has been a big focus for us to stay in the fight longer with teams winning play away from home, to make sure that we area away from home, to make sure that we are a nightmare to play against. we have done that pretty well so we can ta ke have done that pretty well so we can take a lot of confidence in how we defended today. it was a win that scotland simply had to come away with. 0nto domestic rugby — and bath are up to fourth in the premiership after beating harlequins 19—12, with england winger ruaridh mcconnochie scoring two tries. in today's other game, 0llie hassell—collins scored four tries as london irish jumped above gloucester in the table with a 24—20 victory. irish now up to fifth. in the pro 14 —jamie dobie will make his first start for glasgow warriors as they welcome the dragons to scotstoun stadium. the 18—year—old has made six appearances off the bench. elsewhere the cheetahs will be hoping to repeat their hammering of ulster when they meet in belfast later. the south african side won 63—26 last october. leeds rhinos have made it back

to back wins in super league after beating last year's grand finalists salford by 22—8 at the a] bell stadium. meanwhile, the side who beat salford in that grand final last year, st helens, take on nrl winners sydney roosters in the world club challenge tonight. the roosters are looking for successive world club challenge wins, having beaten wigan to lift the trophy last season. so, that game returns to britain later — with saints aiming for a third win in the annual clash of champions of super league, and the australian nrl. it's the second successive season the roosters are taking part, having triumphed in the fixture against wigan warriors at the dw stadium in 2019. richard askam has more. when super league's best meet the aussie champions, sparks are guaranteed to five. the title on the

line is for the best team in utley world, you don't need much more motivation than that. we have some really high class players let her played for great britain and other countries as well. they certainly wa nt countries as well. they certainly want to put their name forward as been considered with some of the best and that they certainly want to put their name forward as been considered with some of the best and at the world too. they said no roosters are aiming to become the first team to defend the trophy. science class 18 more than a decade ago. the captain then at the start of his illustrious career, one that is certainly not finished yet. i'm not calling you old, i wouldn't dare, but you are coming towards the end, you have won this trophy in the past, would it mean even more? definitely, yes. as an ageing player, if you like, i had been involved a number of years, i realise the hard work goes into just being involved in the game, obviously, going on to win at the game. and being able to call yourself the worlds best would be

fantastic. i for me as captain to have the opportunity to lift that trophy would have to be up there as one of the pinnacles of my professional career. the proudest moment if you do? may be, yes. i remember running this back in at, what a fantastic night, i have nothing but great memories of that night. we are really excited about being able to come here and bring the sydney to club and our style of play and put on show. we are really proud of who we are. we don't want the aussies come here and have it all their own way, we will make his as hostile as we can. a rallying cry from the skipperfor a as hostile as we can. a rallying cry from the skipper for a saints team determined to be crowned the best side in uttley world once again. let's take a look at some of the others stories making

the headlines today. the rugby community has reached out to help a young boy who's been badly bullied. quaden byles who has dwarfism led out the indigineous all stars team in the nrl‘s all star game in australia. a social media video went viral, in which the nine year old said he wanted to kill himself because of the bullying. there's been a huge wave of support, with crowdfunding page started to raise money to send quaden to disneyland. and at the first day of the british athletics indoor championships, andy robertson from sale harriers took gold in the 60 metres in a time of 6.66 seconds. cardiff's sam gordon was second, and windsor, slough, eton and hounslow‘s toby makoyawo — who's just 17 — won the bronze medal. and there was another medalfor a teenager — as world u18 200m record—holder, amy hunt, won the women's 60 metres gold in a time of 7.39 seconds. alisha rees finished in second, with ebony carr third. to the women's t20 world cup in australia — where there were wins

for west indies and new zealand. although the windies were made to work for their victory, after surviving a scare against debutants thailand. jo currie reports from perth.. stepping out onto a world cup stage for the first time, this was a poignant day in the history of highline cricket. never before had any of their size, male or female, made it to a world cup until now. is that you have them winning the toss and putting themselves into bat, but the size of bit house they were up against became clear early on, they lost early wickets and runs were ha rd to lost early wickets and runs were hard to come by. in fact, only two of their bats women made it into double figures, but they dug in. eventually, thailand finished the innings on 78—9, a respectable score for a world cup debut. that should have been a relatively easy target for the 2016 champions, but the windies wobbled with the bat, at one stage, found themselves on 27—3, with thailand threatening a huge upsetin with thailand threatening a huge

upset in this tournament. eventually, they show to a seven wicket victory. it was a bit of a nervous moment. i think they are really good bowlers. i reckon, you know, in a few years time, they will definitely give teams challenges. i'm really pleased that we get to go over that hurdle today. yeah, it wasn't great, you now, seeing wickets falling. so i'm really happy, i can smile now. meanwhile, they follow on match here at perth. new zealand put sri lanka into bat, a strong showing from their captain saw them finish the innings on 127-4. an saw them finish the innings on 127—11. an achievable target for new zealand. it was the target who are really shorn of the bat, she would drop early on but then went on to

score to guide her side to a relatively easy victory. after‘s defeat on in the opening day of this tournament, that means new zealand is not top of group a, meaning on the third day of the t20 world cup, england finally get their campaign under way here in perth against south africa. england play their opening match of the t20 women's world cup tomorrow morning. south africa are the oponents in perth as they begin their first global tournament under new head coach lisa keightley. hosts and defending champions australia suffered a shock defeat in their their opening match. here's england captain heather knight. we are obviously not favourites. we are coming in with some really good form and a few different performances, but i think we have a really good chance, we have water because play is improving all the time. world—class players who have proven it out here in australian conditions, a lot of players are played out here and her success as well. our first played out here and her success as well. 0urfirstjob is to get played out here and her success as well. our firstjob is to get to the semifinals, then anything can

happen. it's only a matter of hours to go now before the huge world heavyweight rematch between tyson fury and deontay wilder almost 15 months on from their controversial draw in la. this time, it's in vegas and that's where our reporter ade adedoyen is for us this evening. this is a huge fight, it is hard to build up enough. two unbeaten men, both with plenty to lose? yeah, all the talking is done, the next time the talking is done, the next time the fighter see each other will be in the ring at the ringer behind me to settle their differences to settle the differences result we have been waiting 15 months for this rematch, or that the ingredients are there for it to be a great night. they couldn't split the judges that night in la. i've spoken to lots of people who have descended on vegas this week, the likes of david haig, lennox lewis, all struggling to pick a winner. some going for deontay wilder because of his power, some for tyson fury because of technical

ability. when they weighed in yesterday, there was a raucous atmosphere, the majority being tyson fury fans. deontay wilder getting heckled by some of tyson fury supporters. they do not have the tradition of myself, they stood about five metres apart, still squared up to each other, still exchanging rebel ploughs, neither man is going to give any ground. this what had his high afterwards. deontay wilder said that this was his home country, but i told him that las vegas is mine. leaf answer turned out to see the gypsy king. all my fans are here! i have always had to fight guys are bigger than me, that is only going to slow him down. holding the white on me, i'm a rock with it, swinging with it, rock with it, let him bring it on. let him bring his white, and telling him, don't blink. let's talk money. this is a pay per view fight —

vegas is the city of razmataz — how visible is this fight in terms of advertising and hype? what is it like? in las vegas, there are what is it like? in las vegas, there a re events what is it like? in las vegas, there are events all the time, but you know it's a big event when all the people are talking about is the fight, then you know it's a big occasion. they talk about this being the most significant heavyweight fight since the lennox lewis, evander holyfield and mike tyson area. while says that he feels it is area. while says that he feels it is a big fight for him, he thinks he doesn't have the recce mission in the us. if deontay wilder can pull of the victory later this evening, then his star will really go up. i thought it was interesting yesterday how tyson fury kicked his top on, was he trying to hide something? deontay wilder is coming in at his heaviest ever, looking very muscular and chiselled. the last time he came into this heavy, he was a bit sluggish in his performance. another element of intrigue to this bout. it

has all the ingredients for a really great night. it's interesting that tyson fury seems to have garnered so much support in america are, quite incredible considering he isn't the home fighter. you were at the fight before, what else is chain for these two men? after that fight in la, tyson fury spent a lot of time trying to build his profile in the us to stop he has been very open about his battle in his personal life with mental illness and depression, people have warmed to that, the fact he is able to get up and deal with these issues. he has been on a real charm offensive last year, remember, he has also been in wwee, all attracting the casual fan to him. that is what deontay wilder is up against, he said at the pub he has in the us, is that they have lots of other major sports, basketball, ice hockey, american football. he feels he does not get

the recognition he deserves, but if he knocked out tyson fury this evening, it looks to here, then people will appreciate what he will bring to the spot. next month the world's oldest badminton tournament — the all—england championships — celebrate their 110th anniversary in birmingham. the last british player to win there was gail emms in 2005. but what potential impact will the coronavirus have with respect to players from china and the far east this time round? ian winter reports. that content building, for one day only, in miniature court has popped up only, in miniature court has popped up to encourage everyone show off the shuttlecock skills. points win prizes, but it is not as easy as it looks. how many points did you get, tony? six. happy with that? no. 12 points. i'd make a budding olympic champion. went to get you some

lessons. i got 46 points, a bit lucky today i think. gail isn't going shopping, she has brought her back it along to show her passion for badminton. back in 2004, gail w011 for badminton. back in 2004, gail won a silver medal in the mixed doubles. 12 months later, they become the last british player to win gold at the all england championships in birmingham. just amazing memories, to walk out in a final, hearing out your home crowd cheering for you. i can feel all the already thinking about it. for me, i have amazing memories of it, i'm just gutted i'm too old to play any more! no surprise to learn that chinese players dominated the all england championships last year, just like every year since birmingham the first stage the event in 1994. but when at the tournament returns a couple of weeks' time, who knows? 12 months ago, the majority of players at the all england championships came from the far east and asia, including china, of

course. so could have their visit to birmingham next month be put in jeopardy by the outbreak of the coronavirus? it has not been intimated to us in any shape or form a chinese players will not be taking part, we are fully expecting to welcome everyone to the arena in birmingham no sign of the worlds best players in the pop—up cage, but they were not what you missed the 110th anniversary of the world's 0dis badminton tournament. 110th anniversary of the world's 0dis badminton tournamentlj 110th anniversary of the world's 0dis badminton tournament. i noticed that ian did not have a go himself. i wonder why that is. ian, get your skills out, man. a quick update on a football before we finish, manchester at the king power, currently 0—0. sergio aguero missing a penalty. also in at the rugby, wells are being beaten by france 27-23, that is wells are being beaten by france 27—23, that is france a's first

victory in cardiff since 2010. tomorrow, it is england versus ireland. we'll still be friends, won't we? i hope so, should be a great game. more at half past seven, see you then. we have got more potentially disruptive weather coming our way over the next couple of days. flooding are a recurring theme at the moment, over 100 warnings in force, the numbers have increased significantly in scotland and northern england over the past 24 hours. two areas of low pressure swinging along this front, bringing potentially disruptive weather our way. the first of these arriving before long as we go through

tonight, cloud quickly thickening across northern ireland, england and wales. rain on the way, the heaviest working across wales and northern england, 20—40 millimetres, may be more of a high ground. these are area sensitive to extra rain, the ground is completely saturated, if we could well see some further flooding issues for these areas into sunday. the rain band since back southwards on sunday, the sky is slowly improving weather picture, further showers in scotland, falling snow over the high ground. windy, but not as windy as windy as recent days, the clueless area in the north, still mild in the south. by sunday night, another front could bring further destructive weather, because before that system arrives, it will be getting cold with some patchy frost in england, northern ireland and scotland, then they were the system works into that cold air. for a the system works into that cold air. fora time, rain the system works into that cold air. for a time, rain across parts of northern ireland and northern england, it made him back to rain

here. in scotland out though, potentially snow for a longer, even at lower levels. in scotland and northern ireland, very windy, the snow could also cause some problems, particularly through a monday morning rush—hour, critical across parts of scotland. likely to see some issues about it in here. elsewhere, a blustery day on monday, more rain across northern england, could be further problems with localised flooding. eventually bright—eyed but a blustery day on monday, further showers following across wales, nor england and probably northern ireland also. u nfortu nately, probably northern ireland also. unfortunately, staying on the u nsettled unfortunately, staying on the unsettled side, windy weather coming in at the week ahead, some lengthy spells of rain coming through particularly on thursday. at times, it will be cold enough for some of that rain to be following us now, so there is no sign of our weather settling down any time soon.
