north stilljust about, with in the north stilljust about, with that weather front movie across we are expecting a spell of snow across northern england and scotland. we think this will mostly be sleet and snow, very transient as well. it will start off as snow and turn into rain and mostly over higher elevations. it will turn milder through the course of this week, but we are still expecting spells of wintry weather in the north. a reminder of our top story. the prime minister says he will look in mid february at what restrictions can be relaxed for england but the plan for schools is still unclear. what i can tell you is we will tell you, parents and teachers as much as we can and as soon as we can. that's all from the bbc news at six. so it's goodbye from me, and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc�*s news teams where you are.

hello and welcome to sportsday. i'm olly foster. franks for the memories. lampard is sacked after 18 months at chelsea. england complete the series whitewash in sri lanka with a big win in galle, but tougher tests lie ahead forjoe root�*s team. brady's heading back to the super bowl. he leads the buccaneers to victory against the packers.

evening. we'll start with the big sacking in the premier league. frank lampard could do no wrong as a chelsea player. the club's record goalscorer won three league titles, four fa cups, three league cups, he is a champions league and europa league winner, but he has failed to carry that success into management. he cut his teeth at derby county for a season before the homecoming 18 months ago. in that covid—disrupted first season at chelsea, they qualified for the champions league and were fa cup runners—up. they are still in both those competitions this season, but they have faded in the league, and two wins from the last ten has led to the thumbs down from the owner roman abramovich. this the killer line from their statement, "recent results

and performances have not met the club's expectations, leaving the club mid—table without any clear path to sustained improvement," something i asked former blues favourite and bbc pundit pat nevin about earlier. frank was building something that wasn't built for next week or next month. he was trying to build something that was for the ages, the years. from chelsea's academy they've done quite well, and then some of the players that have been brought in, they are still quite young. they are very young to come into another country and take it by storm. this is a team in a group that could be ready in about a year or two, that could be ready in about a year ortwo, maybe that could be ready in about a year or two, maybe three. that could be ready in about a year ortwo, maybe three. considering that could be ready in about a year or two, maybe three. considering up until about six weeks ago, frank

lampard was two points behind liverpool. away from home 4—0. fourth in the league. runner—up in the fa cup. real bloody youngsters and no money to spend. in the fa cup. real bloody youngsters and no money to spend.— and no money to spend. in such a stranue and no money to spend. in such a strange season, _ and no money to spend. in such a strange season, you _ and no money to spend. in such a strange season, you would - and no money to spend. in such a strange season, you would have l strange season, you would have thought you would've been allowed a little bit more time because stick a little bit more time because stick a little run together and they're straight back in. they're still in the champions league, they're there to the next round.— to the next round. chelsea were in second place. _ to the next round. chelsea were in second place, and _ to the next round. chelsea were in second place, and that _ to the next round. chelsea were in second place, and that was - to the next round. chelsea were in second place, and that was aboutl to the next round. chelsea were in i second place, and that was about six weeks ago. if you look two weeks before that, manchester were 15th place. and then you go through a bad time. if you make too many changes, the first they will say is you don't know about your team. if you don't make enough, they say you're stuck

in your ways and won't adapt. it's a catch 32. frank hasn't done that enough. catch 32. frank hasn't done that enou:h. , , , catch 32. frank hasn't done that enou:h., , , , , catch 32. frank hasn't done that enou:h. , , , , ., ., enough. just very briefly, pat, do ou think enough. just very briefly, pat, do you think he _ enough. just very briefly, pat, do you think he should've _ enough. just very briefly, pat, do you think he should've cut - enough. just very briefly, pat, do you think he should've cut his - enough. just very briefly, pat, do l you think he should've cut his teeth for a little bit longer somewhere else before taking on a job of this magnitude? for else before taking on a “ob of this magnitude?* else before taking on a “ob of this mannitude? ., ., ., ., , �* magnitude? for someone who doesn't work... magnitude? for someone who doesn't work- -- did — magnitude? for someone who doesn't work... did quite _ magnitude? for someone who doesn't work... did quite well _ magnitude? for someone who doesn't work... did quite well as _ magnitude? for someone who doesn't work... did quite well as well. - magnitude? for someone who doesn't work... did quite well as well. you - work... did quite well as well. you just never know. you don't know how often. maybe that chance one have come around for quite a long time. having seen what we seen just now, this job comes around very frequently. if this job comes around very frequently-— this job comes around very frequently. those are the thoughts of pat nevin. austin halewood has been keeping across all the reaction to this story. there's been plenty of it, including from a few premier league managers.

absolutely. it's news that's resonated around the room your league. as it always does when a manager loses his dog in the premier league. —— loses hisjob. this one is a bit different because of who will frank lampard is. such a brilliant player in his time at chelsea and one of the biggest name to managers in the club's history because of who he was. some of the managers have been talking about in their press conferences a been on their press conferences a been on the country. the crystal palace boss said he should have been given more time but pep guardiola says time unfortunately was something you don't often get in the premier league. we talk about projects and ideas. you have — we talk about projects and ideas. you have to win or you will be sacked — you have to win or you will be sacked. not the way we pay leader, not about— sacked. not the way we pay leader, not about philosophy —— the way we played _

when a manager loses hisjob. he holds such a special place in their heart. i got some reaction from a podcast or alex goldberg. his handprints will be on our success for years and years to come. he says he's actually gutted that it didn't work out at the club, and that's a sentiment that's shared between all fans i've spoken to today. one in particular billy fitzpatrick is disappointed to see lampard go as well. i don't think i've seen on a single idon't think i've seen on a single person— i don't think i've seen on a single person happy at the decision. he is the top _ person happy at the decision. he is the top goal—scorer. i remember him scoring _ the top goal—scorer. i remember him scoring those goals, i'll never forget — scoring those goals, i'll never forget those moments with the club. ithink— forget those moments with the club. i think they— forget those moments with the club. i think they love him all the same, and i_ i think they love him all the same, and i think— i think they love him all the same, and i think that'll be exactly the same _ and i think that'll be exactly the same all— and i think that'll be exactly the same. all of us hope that one day we might— same. all of us hope that one day we might get— same. all of us hope that one day we might get the experience and come back and _ might get the experience and come back and lead us to glory in the way we hoped _

speaking to a french journalist who tells me that hopefully is all behind him and he'll have learned about it and will improve for chelsea. i think ithink being i think being with those big players really— i think being with those big players really helped — i think being with those big players really helped him _ i think being with those big players really helped him and _ i think being with those big players really helped him and now -
