semi normal, a lot of those hospitality industries will still be in a lot of trouble, won't they? yeah. he's famously pledged to do whatever it takes. it would be weird if he said, sorta pulled out for from that of the 11 hour when the finish line is in sight. given the vaccine data. i would expect them to extend the furlough and yes there to be further support for hospitality as well. certainly going into the summer. at some point this is all going to have to stop and we're going to have to stop and we're going to have to stop and we're going to have to start paying it back. but all of these hospitality businesses, they should still be viable businesses. there should be still appetite for that. those pubs and bars and restaurants probably more appetite more than ever given people been shut up in the houses are the best part of the year. i think he will spend much more still in the next few months and that we will start to see taxes go up. i actually think there is some public appetite for taxes to go out not that people want to pay market but surely they can understand that all of this has happened over the past

recognises that mr elliott is licensed in ireland, whose regulatory body, the ihrb, is carrying out its own investigation. the eight—times champion jump jockey peter scudamore has told bbc sport he's very sad about the incident and believes that elliott is likely to face some form of sanction. it was an act of crass stupidity, but there is some things that you just can't do. you know, i can't think of examples, but unfortunately, for him, he has to be made an example of. we just can't, we can't stand here and say that we are looking after horses, and we are giving them dignity when we are clearly not. so, you know... i don't want revenge or anything, ijust, you know, there are people

out there that don't like the sport and i can't argue with them when i see a picture like that. in the premier league — everton have beaten southampton 1—0 to move two points off the top four with a game in hand. the only goal of the match at goodison park came nine minutes in and it was the richarlison with his 11th of the season while michael keane had one ruled out by var for offside shortly after. the result means iath placed southampton have now gone nine league games without a win. catalan police say they've made several arrests after searching the offices of spanish football side barcelona. the identity of those arrested has not yet been confirmed by police, but spanish media are reporting one of them is the club's former presidentjosep maria bartomeu. the operation was related to last year's barcagate, in which club officials were accused of launching a smear campaign against current and former players who were critical of the club and bartomeu. andy murray has come from a set down to beat robin haase in their opening round match at the rotterdam open.

the dutchman haase eased through the first set claiming it 6—2 before murray rebounded in the second to win it on a tie break. murray who missed the australian open after contracting covid19 picked up a vital break late in the final set to win the decider 6—3, and he'll now face the winner of ath seed andrey rublev and marcos giron. the french rugby federation says head coach fabien galthie won't be sacked after it emerged he left the team's bio—secure bubble to go and watch his son play a game of rugby. a week later galthie provided the first positive covid test in the squad. eleven players were also diagnosed with coronavirus, leading to the postponement of sunday's match against scotland which organisers are still trying to rearrange. patrick gearey reports. valentine's day and the french rugby team are in an infection to mood. theyjust beaten ireland and everyone's favourite to win the six nations. within days it all started

to get complicated. this man tested positive for covid—19. his captain also got the virus one of 11 players to return positive test. now it's emerge he had broken the bubble, the strict rule designed to keep the virus out of squads. the week before had been out to see his son play rugby. but his bosses backing him. he told france free tv... nor is he a politician. at the french sportsmen has threatened to pull france out of the six nations after hearing reports of the squad had been out for waffles when in rome to play italy. all of this for the french public are under curfew. urged by the government to abide by

fell to spinners, but indian bowler ravichandran ashwin says "we need to get over talking about pitches" and leach agrees with his opponent. if i was watching a test match, i would probably wanted to go longer than two days. so that's my only, kind of, i guess, viewing it from being a cricket fan, it's that may be a test match should go longer than that, and whether that stands the pitch or skills are what, for me, playing is, i'm fully concentrating on how i can best do on every wicked that i play on and they outpolled us on that wicket. and that fourth and final test for anger gets under way on thursday. and that fourth and final test for anger gets under under way on thursday. and that's all the sport for now. hello there.

today is shaping up to be a pretty similar day to how yesterday was with many places starting chilly, grey, foggy with some low cloud what will slowly burn back towards the east coast, allowing for some sunshine to develop for many of us. so, a largely dry day today, a chilly start with that low cloud and fog. many places will though turn brighter into the afternoon. now, it's all driven by this area of high pressure which is keeping things fine and settled. most places will see light winds which is why we'll start off rather grey with this fog around for many places. the exception — the west of scotland, parts northern ireland, far west of england and wales which will start cold, frosty, and sunny. but eventually the sun will get going on this cloud thinning and breaking it but it could linger again like on monday through parts of eastern wales, the midlands, eastern england and also eastern scotland where we'll continue to see some threatened half lapping against coast. sunshine will develop across southern areas. and winds generally light but still quite fresh through the channel and for the south—west of england.

in the sunniest spots, we could see temperatures reaching 10 to maybe 1a or 15 celsius but really chilly where we hold onto the grey, foggy weather — only 3—5 celsius. now, as we head into tuesday night it looks like that low cloud and fog will tend to return across much of the country. a few clearer spells out west. a few showers starting to push through the channel islands and the south west. so, here a bit more cloud, so not quite as cold but chillier further north particularly where we have any cloud breaks. so into wednesday then, we've got this little weather front which is going to bring some better weather to southern and south—western areas. mainly in the form of showery rain, some of the showers could be quite heavy for the channel islands. south west england then into south wales and than spreading into parts of the midlands, southern and south—eastern england into the afternoon. elsewhere, it's generally cloudy particularly towards the east. best of the sunshine further west. but despite any sunshine, it's actually turning colder across the north. further south, given some sunshine again, quite mild —10—15 celsius.

the reason for it getting colder in the north is this new area of high pressure moving down from iceland. it's got some very cold air mixed in with it. and that's going to affect much of the country as you move through thursday and indeed friday. so, a much colderfeel to our weather to end the week. it will return to a more settled note though. thursday looks pretty cloudy across the board. friday, perhaps, seeing a little bit of sunshine in places.
