time for a look at the weather. here's darren bett. not quite as cold as last night, a bit more breeze but it has been a windy day in the south—west. thickening cloud could bring snow. some icy conditions. the lowest temperature around —16 in the highlands but a pretty widespread frost across the uk. some early snow for western parts of northern ireland, it will move away as the cloud thins. sunshine in wales and the south—west. many places will be dry, quite sunny. fewershowers the south—west. many places will be dry, quite sunny. fewer showers in scotland and the north—east of england. it will be windy and it will be feeling colder. it could be

even colder on saturday. a band of wet weather comes in from the atlantic hitting colder air and there could be snow in western parts of the uk. it is only a yellow snow and ice warning for the met office. the biggest impact in northern ireland, 1—4 centimetres. not sure what the impact will be in western scotland. after a frosty start it will be clouding over quickly, temperatures remaining low. when you factor in the wind on saturday it will feel more like —6 or —7. the snow will peter out, probably not getting any further east. on sunday, a stronger south south—westerly wind which could mean some milder weather but perhaps some rain. now wejoin the now we join the bbc news team is

where you are. hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm chetan pathak, coming up on the programme. keeping british hopes alive in melbourne — cameron norrie is into the third round of the australian open where rafa nadal now awaits. as another player is racially abused online — some of football's governing bodies send a letter to the bosses of facebook and twitter — telling them to go much further in dealing with abuse. we'll be at oakwell as thomas tuchel gets his first

taste of the fa cup since taking over at chelsea — but can barnsley knock them out of the cup? and also coming up before seven... the sport venues doubling as vaccination centres. a special report on how some of the biggest sporting locations are helping the fight against coronavirus. good evening, welcome to the programme. we start with the australian open tennis on a day when the women's defending champion sofia kenin has been knocked out, as was britain's heather watson. whilst rafa nadal eased into the third round. he'll now play this man — cameron norrie — the only singles player left flying the flag for britain. he reached the same stage at the us open last year and now he's repeated the feat in melbourne.

our tennis correspondent russell fuller is part of the team covering it all for bbc radio 5 live — and i caught up with him earlier in the day: he's making a habit of becoming the last british player standing in the singles and a grand slam, he did at the us open in september when he reached the third round, and once again he threw to the last 32 but it's going to be very challenging now as he comes up against rafael nadal. he was the favourite against rome and the russian qualifier, room and i think had been in hardcore and g for two weeks when he arrived in melbourne. and he dealt well with the delays, the match was switched from a different court, he dropped when serving and it might�*ve been pretty but he won the tie—break to be get through to round three. busy day at this trillion open with the women's

svitolina was already too strong. coco gauff showed us on debut last year and wimbledon that she's dangerous despite her tender years. but svitolina is the world number five and she played a really solid match to come through in straight sets, and that will give her a lot of confidence. she's in a section of the draw which did include sophia but now the defending champion is out. svitolina has a good chance of any is coming through. she's been in the grand slam semifinal before but never yet made into a final. what never yet made into a final. what ou make never yet made into a final. what you make of _ never yet made into a final. what you make of soviet _ never yet made into a final. what you make of soviet saying - never yet made into a final. what you make of soviet saying the pressure of being the defending champion got to her? it pressure of being the defending champion got to her?— pressure of being the defending champion got to her? it was a big about being _ champion got to her? it was a big about being the _ champion got to her? it was a big about being the defending - champion got to her? it was a big i about being the defending champion 12 months on she was very honest about it. she is a very emotional player and talks about that quite a lot and she said i could not handle akamai put too much pressure on myself and knew that people were expecting me to deliver again and she was well beaten. easily beaten.

rafael nadal, not stuck with that lower back but he still moving really well and he's now playing cameron. you would not put it past him to get that record—breaking 2ist grand slam. he him to get that record-breaking 21st grand slam. . him to get that record-breaking 21st grand slam-— grand slam. he dealt very well with the heckler as _ grand slam. he dealt very well with the heckler as well _ grand slam. he dealt very well with the heckler as well during _ grand slam. he dealt very well with the heckler as well during the - the heckler as well during the match. i think with the concern for me as far as rafael nadal is if he's able to be cameron nori even though he looks to be serving as well as you might expect them to and there does not seem to be any issue with his movement he had no practice matches at all. felt his back on the first date since training a quarantine, he said he took away all those positive feelings about the season and did not play any matches for spain in the cup last week so will that come back to haunt him? when he plays the very best in the world? possibly but i think you will be delighted with where he came through to the third round. thank ou. next to the ongoing calls for social media companies to do

more to tackle racist abuse on their platforms. last night swansea city player yan dhanda was targetted online after his side went out of the fa cup at home to manchester city. the championship club has reported the matter to south wales police, who are investigating. dhanda took to twitter in response to the racism saying. well that call for more to be done got even louder today with some of football's governing bodies writing a joint letter to the bosses of facebook and twitter. our senior sports news reporter laura scottjoins me now with more. whose put their name to this letter and what are they saying? welcome in this letter was written by all of the games major stakeholders, so the faa, the premier league, the efl, the representatives of players, managers and match officials so the pfa

command and others. kelly simmons, the director women's professional game and also the anti—discrimination charity. they said that social media platforms remain havens of abuse. it said that the inaction of the platforms has meant that anonymous perpetrators of abuse believe that they are out of reach and they said the language usedis reach and they said the language used is debasing often threatening and illegal. they called for four key actions to be taken by the social media platforms. the first of which is to block or filter abusive content before it can even be posted. the second would be that if abusive content is circulated there should be robust and quick measures to remove it. the third measure is to remove it. the third measure is to improve the verification processes for all users and mean that people cannot reregister accounts if they have been posting abusive content. in the last was to assist yvette to getting authorities

to identify people who are spreading abusive content. i spoke to the equality director of the fa and she was saying that emoji is can often be as damaging and hurtful as words, and she would like to see some of the amojese used actually discontinued. i asked the amojese used actually discontinued. iasked her the amojese used actually discontinued. i asked her if it was an option for players and others to simply come off social media and potentially that might harm the companies the most.— potentially that might harm the companies the most. leaving the latforms companies the most. leaving the platforms of _ companies the most. leaving the platforms of course _ companies the most. leaving the platforms of course is _ companies the most. leaving the platforms of course is one - companies the most. leaving the l platforms of course is one answer, but how why should an individual feel forced off the biggest means by which many people communicate and engage more broadly across national lines, across bordersjust because of companies not willing to recognise and acknowledge that all men abuse is something that they have a responsibility to tackle? so i take and understand that for some players there was reach the point of frustration were the answer is to come off of the platform, but i don't think that people should feel bullied off these platforms because

companies are not taking accountability and responsibility for the part that they have to play in society. and frankly for the significant level of damage that they are allowing to be inflicted on individuals. players who are match officials and their family members. and what is next, briefly?— officials and their family members. and what is next, briefly? we've had some changes _ and what is next, briefly? we've had some changes that _ and what is next, briefly? we've had some changes that social _ and what is next, briefly? we've had some changes that social media - some changes that social media companies making it was announced yesterday that instagram would be disabling accounts of people who have repeatedly spread abuse on direct messages. but note the word repeated commit what people are concerned about is that this represents a low tolerance policy towards this kind of abuse rather than a zero tolerance policy, and some are saying, submits brought up todayis some are saying, submits brought up today is that this can often impact on family members as well. he said that he has received death threats from his son's social media accounts. we know legislation is on the horizon and police are investigating several cases but leadership of a calling for today is

that social media's leadership takes action and shows basic human decency in stopping the relentless flow of discrimination and abuse on their platforms. brute discrimination and abuse on their latforms. ~ ., ., ., platforms. we will have to leave it there, platforms. we will have to leave it there. thank— platforms. we will have to leave it there, thank you. _ if tonight's fa cup games are half as entertaining as that 5—4 between everton and spurs last night we should be in for a treat. just two matches left in the fifth round. wolves against southampton is now into the second half. admittedly, no goals in the first half but southampton have just taken the lead through danny, and initially rolled up through outside but a double checked and found he was onside., jerry goodenow here on five live, but it was close and the goal stands. and at eight, thomas tuchel — with three wins out of four since taking over as chelsea boss — takes his side to barnsley who are mid—table in the championship and hoping to pull off an upset in front of the tv cameras. you can watch it live on bbc one — eilidh barbour is part of the team at oakwell and she's been looking

but there was varying levels of suspicion that could
