thank you. we are probably heading for the coldest night for about a decade, even across some southern parts of the uk. not tonight, the following night. anyway, the forecast for this evening, snow showers continuing and an amber warning in force for a time in eastern parts of scotland. through the night the snow showers will become a little less heavy and fleeting in places. needless to say, a freezing cold morning on wednesday morning. the wind is still pretty strong so there's temperatures are not that low, minus three, minus four degrees. we can cope with that, at least most of us. the forecast for wednesday shows further snow showers across eastern and central areas. not too many of them reaching western areas of the uk. obviously cole, a couple of degrees above freezing in one or two areas. a subtle change on wednesday night. high pressure builds in from the

north and the winds for light. high pressure kills off the showers and it is a scandinavian high. that means early on thursday morning, city temperatures on thursday, not rural areas, city temperatures will be minus eight degrees. kew gardens, if that happens it will be the coldest we have had in a decade in this part of the country. the super cold morning on thursday. then a bright, dry day and the drying east, south easterly. very chilly and thursday. this is mild are trying to push in but the strong south—easterly continues. then the weekend, the battleground looks as though the milder air will encroach, but probably not until sunday. a little bit of a brake on the microphone, so apologies. that's all from the bbc news at six, so it's goodbye from me,

and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc�*s

five for serving for that first set mid game, alarm bells went off when she went off to court for treatment. at the time we weren't entirely sure what it was. although she got there first set under her belt she knew that itjust first set under her belt she knew that it just wasn't first set under her belt she knew that itjust wasn't going to happen. i don't know if you had an injury like that but it's something you couldn't carry on with, is a? she's an experienced _ couldn't carry on with, is a? she's an experienced player _ couldn't carry on with, is a? she's an experienced player she - couldn't carry on with, is a? she's an experienced player she is - couldn't carry on with, is a? she's an experienced player she is not l an experienced player she is not want to retire mid match. i can't actually recall the last time that's ever happened. to travel all the way to australia to go through quarantine, it's a grand slam. she's one of the top ranked players out there. she wants to go deep in these events. to retire in this fashion is not good. events. to retire in this fashion is not aood. . , . events. to retire in this fashion is not ood. ., , ., ., events. to retire in this fashion is notaood. ., , ., ., not good. real shame. final match involvin: not good. real shame. final match involving a — not good. real shame. final match involving a british _ not good. real shame. final match involving a british francesca - not good. real shame. final match involving a british francesca jones. j involving a british francesca jones. brilliant to see her at a grand slam. she made a really good start against rogers but unfortunately it wasn't quite enough today. francesca jones making — wasn't quite enough today. francesca jones making her— wasn't quite enough today. francesca

and she certainly seemed fresh against danka kovinic. barty, who was a semi—finallist last year and won the 2019 french open, didn't lose a single game, six—luv, six—luv , a so— called �*double bagelling' in the trade. poor kovinic spent two weeks in hard lockdown only to be knocked out in 44 minutes. and rafael nadal showed no signs of the back problems which have been troubling him in the past few months as he saw off laslo djere in straight sets, nadal has reached five finals in melbourne but only won it once, that was back in 2009. some of the days other headlines for you. but we'll stay with tennis. andy murray. he has won his first competitive match in four months. he beat maxmillian marterer in three stes on the challenger tour on the after testing positive for covid didn't allow him the time to quarantine and prepare properly ahead of the tournament. and arsenal's beth mead

has been left out of the england lionesses squad for their friendly against northern ireland in a fortnight. the interim head coach hege riise says her�* player report isn't that great�* formula one bosses are considering a proposal to scrap saturday's qualifying session and replace it with a 100km sprint race to decide grid positions for the. the idea could be trialled this season and introduced next year. the head coach eddiejones has again shouldered most of the blame for england's opening six nations defeat to scotland. his side was heavily criticised after an innefectual performance in their 11—6 calcutta cup defeat, the scots first win at twickenham since 1983. england face italy next saturday. the catch responsible for the teams performance. i'm accountable for it. of course we share response ability in terms of performance. and were all equally disappointed. and were

all equally disappointed. and were all it is equally committed to the next game we play a lot better. a little bit like chemistry trying to get the right blend of everything. and sometimes that blend is not right but sometimes the information you're discussing is not right. and your team can look terrible. and that's how we were on saturday. we are not a terrible team. we are not a terrible team. the football's nonstop at the moment. we've got fa cup fifth round ties over the next three nights, that's the last 16. the first is already under way they are into the second half at turfmoor where premier league burnley are facing championship side bournemouth. midway through the first half. they are into the 2nd. still one nailed to the cherries. still one nailed to the cherries. it's a half seven kick—off between manchester united and west ham, that game will be live on bbc1. kelly summers is at old trafford. it's a big night here at old trafford. just two days after so shar said his side are not title contenders. they turned their attention to the fa cup and inform
