ruthie henshall ending that report by graham satchell. liverpool football club has said it's deeply saddened by the death of ian stjohn, describing the former player as an anfield legend. he was 82. andy swiss reports. fans chant. amid liverpool's stars of the 1960s, few shone as brightly as ian stjohn. when hejoined, the club was languishing in the second division. he scores! but stjohn�*s goals helped to transform them into the best team in england. under the great bill shankly he won two league titles but perhaps his greatest moment came at wembley in 1965. and it's a goal! that extra time goal took liverpool to their first fa cup and it sealed stjohn�*s status as a club legend. he also starred for scotland, scoring nine goals for his country and although he retired as a player

in 1973, a new career beckoned. theme music plays. he joined forces withjimmy greaves and the tv show saint and greavsie was a huge hit. well, hello and good afternoon. the programme ran for nearly a decade, stjohn winning millions of new fans with his warmth and wit. hello there. well, euro 92 is all over, jim and i are still here in stockholm. among the tributes, sir geoff hurst described him as a great footballer who'd been fantastic on saint and greavsie. as the sport remembered both a player and a ground—breaking broadcaster. he was the anchor but he was also the straight man but he also had the jokes as well. people said it wasjust a light—hearted show, as you know, that's sometimes the hardest thing possible to do. he completely changed the way punditry was done in sport. a man, then, whose versatility was matched only by his popularity. both on and off the pitch, one of football's finest. andy swiss, bbc news.

ian stjohn, who's died at the age of 82. time for a look at the weather. here's louise lear. minus seven in north—west scotland, frost on the ground sustained but not a cloud in the sky. lucky you, thatis not a cloud in the sky. lucky you, that is only half the story. it is localised and misty, murky conditions for most of us, lingering, so temperatures are likely to struggle. looking at the site —like picture, it is mostly the sticky out bits across scotland, wales and south—west england see end the best sunshine, the low cloud is a nuisance close to the north—east. it will burn back, hopefully a slow improvement forceps into the afternoon, and across the eastern england coastline temperatures are likely to struggle, like yesterday, at around five or 6 degrees. the

best of the warmth is in the south where we should teach about figures, temperatures peaking at around 13 celsius. tonight, more cloud rolling back from the north—east, clearer skies to the north—west, down to the south—west a weather fronts will arrive, bringing showers, some quite heavy. temperature setting up six or 7 degrees, so this front will be a nuisance, enhancing the showers and drifting steadily knows. weather watcher enthusiasts, tomorrow morning we could see a significant sunshine is —— sunrise. there will be some saharan dust in the atmosphere, so take some photos and send them in, i am sure we will use them on our accounts. showers pushing through cornwall and devon into south wales tomorrow morning, maybe into the south midlands, we

will keep sunshine and north across the 30s. it is a cooler theme that will dominate into the end of the weekend at the weekend. high pressure builds once again put north—easterly wind will drive the milder, yellow tones to the near continent meaning by the time we get into thursday it will be disappointingly cooler for us all. what a difference a week makes, temperatures in the mid to high teens this time last week. rather cloudy on thursday, predominantly dry. temperature is really struggling at around five to 8 degrees. that sets the scene for the end of the week, quite quiet, no significant rain but not as small as it has been. that's all from the bbc news at one, so it's goodbye from me, and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc�*s news teams where you are.

hello, there. it's just after 1.30pm and this is the latest from the bbc sport centre. many friends and admirers of liverpool legend ian stjohn have been reflecting on his career after it was announced that he'd died at the age of 82. stjohn first played at motherwell, before signing for liverpool in 1961 and becoming a key member of bill shankly�*s famous team which transformed the club from a second tier outfit to one of the biggest sides in europe. he was also capped 21 times for scotland. after retiring as a player, he began a successful television career as a pundit, later teaming up withjimmy greaves for the popular saint and greavsie show in the 1980s and 90s. pat nevin knew stjohn well and he recalls the impact he made. at liverpool he became a legendary figure, not only for the team, liverpool had been struggling in the second division. bill shankly himself said it was the start of liverpool becoming a great club. he scored a goal in the fa cup final, a cracker of a header that

won it in extra time. anyone who has done that enough in the game anyway. all the other things he did as well. he started to bring liverpool to become what it was, a giant of world football. liverpool players past and present have been quick to pay tribute on social media. vice—captainjames milner said simply, "rip ian stjohn — what a player, what a man". left—back andy robertson wrote, "a man of warmth, humour, knowledge, wisdom and joy. scotland and liverpool has lost a true giant". this from former captain phil thompson — "so sad to hear of the passing of the saint. he gave me one of my greatest childhood memories in him winning the fa cup in �*65". ex—forward john aldridge said, "so sad to hear the news of the great ian stjohn passing away. what an inspiration watching from the terraces at anfield he was, also a cracking bloke". leading trainer gordon elliot says he fears his licence will be taken away after a picture emerged

on social media showing him sitting on a dead horse. he told david jennings of the racing post that his world was crumbling. eliott has apologised, saying it was a "moment of madness", but he's been suspended from racing in great britain until an investigation is concluded. elliott has won the grand national three times, twice with tiger roll, and he's licensed in ireland, but the british horseracing authority said it was appalled. andy murray says his critics make him feel as though he's playing for his career every time he steps on court. he was speaking after his first tour—level win since august. he was on the verge of another early exit at the rotterdam 0pen, but he came from a set down to beat robin haase. 0nce world number one, murray is now ranked 123rd following two hip operations, but he has vowed to face his challenges head on. it is not easy. every time i lose a

match everyone thinks, or i'm getting told to retire, that i should stop playing, that i am finished and have got nothing left in whatever, and it sad and all of these things. it's like, it's not easy. it adds a bit of extra stress, there is in it bit of extra joint there. on top of that, and playing with a metal hip, which is hard. on top of that, and playing with a metal hip, which is hard. england opener tammy beaumont has gone to the top of cricket's one—day batting rankings for the first time. she made a half—century in all three matches in the series win over new zealand, scoring a total of 231 runs. she moves up five places on the list, overtaking australia captain meg lanning at the top. england next play a t20 series in wellington, starting tomorrow. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. that's bbc.co.uk/sport. 279 schoolgirls abducted by gunmen last week in northwest nigeria

have been released. the governor of zamfara state said all those who had been taken had been freed and no ransom had been paid. some of the children have been reunited with their parents. most of us got injured on our feet and we could not continue tracking. so the captors said would shoot anybody who did not continue to walk. we walked across a river and they hid us, and they let us sleep under shrubs in a forest. 0ur correspondent in lagos, mayenijones, told us more about how the girls were released. so the governor of zamfara has a peace initiative that he launched. it's an area that has a huge problem with kidnapping for ransom and has had this problem for years. and one of the solutions he's been trialling is to try and bring some of these criminals into the fold, giving them the opportunity to hand over their weapons and stopped their criminal

activities in exchange for some economic opportunities — cars, housing, jobs, etc. and so he had told local media that he had used some of these repentant bandits — bandits is the term that is used here to identify anybody who kidnaps for ransom, any criminal that kidnaps for ransom — he'd used some of these repentant bandits to talk with the most recent abductors and try and strike some sort of deal. it's not clear exactly how they were able to convince them to release the girls, but president buhari on friday did tweet admitting that state governments in the past have paid a ransom to kidnappers, and urging them to stop doing that. world athletics president sebastian coe has said a roadmap for russia's reintegration to the sport was just the beginning of a long journey aimed at "rebuilding trust". the country is banned from international athletics but the sport's governing body is now looking, gradually, towards its return, if the conditions are met. paul hawkins reports.

six years ago russia was banned from all athletics events by its governing body. tonight our sport finds itself in the shameful situation, six years ago russia was banned from all athletics events and that is why i can confirm that the council has overwhelmingly voted, with immediate effect, to suspend the russian federation. the reason — widespread, state sponsored doping. it's worse than we thought. we found cover—ups, we found destruction of samples in the laboratories, we found payments of money in order to conceal doping tests. six years on, russia could be closer to returning to the international stage — but only if it decides to follow what world athletics is calling its "roadmap to trust". in other words, a list of changes with deadlines relating to the sport's governance and funding, the anti—doping regime and the education of athletes, plus policies to encourage whistle—blowing, measures to punish those regions resisting change and to increase athlete input into how the sport

is run in the country. however, it also acknowledges that irreversibly changing the culture in russia will take a generation. it can take a lot of time, but i think it's a first step in the right direction, and they are well surrounded, and they know we are watching, so i think it's a good step. we want clean sport and we want fair play, so i think they have heard that and i'm really hopeful, yeah. weightlifter christine won medals at the 2008 and 2012 games, but wasn't given them until years later when her competitors were stripped of theirs for cheating. i actually got one from beijing ten years later, and this 16 years, from london, so it took a long time. i had time to have three babies! it was a long time. no date has been set for russia's admittance to world athletics. the country has yet to respond to the plan. as for this summer's tokyo 0lympics, world athletics says in two weeks�* time it will consider whether russian athletes who were proven to be

clean can take part. paul hawkins, bbc news. now, if you think you've had a busy lockdown, what about this tale? rachel taylor and scott gretton who apparently were school sweethearts had a whirlwind two years together, moving in together, getting engaged and having two babies in lockdown. earlier, victoria derbyshire caught up with the whole family. with us... our son was born on the sist with us... our son was born on the 31st of march, so weak after the first lockdown. we must have gone a couple of months without seeing a soul. it was brilliant. it was amazing. we thought we would never get this normally.— get this normally. yeah, we 'ust took the positives i get this normally. yeah, we 'ust took the positives from it. h get this normally. yeah, we 'ust took the positives from it. i h get this normally. yeah, we just | took the positives from it. i think ou have

they are, simon. very positive news. we are seeing infection rates falling, hospitaladmission we are seeing infection rates falling, hospital admission rates falling, hospital admission rates falling and deaths falling. just the office of national statistics reported that in the most recent week the number of people dying with covid have fallen by a quarter. the health secretary in the house of commons at what was most interesting was that unlike last year, hospital admissions and deaths are falling faster than infection rates. he said thatis faster than infection rates. he said that is because of the effect of the vaccine. he referenced the report published by public health england yesterday, which showed that vaccines were reducing the risk of serious illness and hospitalisation is in the over 80s by over 80%. this is in the over 80s by over 80%. this is what he had to say. this morning, the office for— is what he had to say. this morning, the office for national— is what he had to say. this morning, the office for national statistics - the office for national statistics published the data on the level of protection people have. they showed that up— protection people have. they showed that up to _ protection people have. they showed that up to the 11th of february, one

south—east of england. this is important because this invariance, the brazil variant, has a mutation called e four h four, which could help the variant escape some of the immune response from vaccination, so people who are vaccinated could still get infected. one of the things they are trying to do is find cases linked to this variant to try and slow and contain that spreads. this is what matt hancock had to say about that. we this is what matt hancock had to say about that. ~ ~ ., this is what matt hancock had to say about that. ~ ,, ., ., ., about that. we know that five of the six eo - le about that. we know that five of the six people quarantined _ about that. we know that five of the six people quarantined at _ about that. we know that five of the six people quarantined at home - about that. we know that five of the six people quarantined at home as l six people quarantined at home as they were — six people quarantined at home as they were legally required to do. we have been— they were legally required to do. we have been in contact with them and i would _ have been in contact with them and i would like _ have been in contact with them and i would like to put on the record my gratitude — would like to put on the record my gratitude to them for doing their duty and — gratitude to them for doing their duty and following the rules. whenever we identify cases of a new therapy— whenever we identify cases of a new therapy respond fast and come down hard by— therapy respond fast and come down hard by bringing in enhanced sequencing and testing. we are stepping — sequencing and testing. we are stepping up a testing and sequencing in south _ stepping up a testing and sequencing in south gloucestershire as a precaution. we have no information

an imposing painting of the last supper. it has hung in this parish church since the beginning of the last century. gifted by a localfamily, who brought it back from a visit to italy. never had it been supposed that the 12.5 foot artwork would be an original. but it had not always looked like this. two years ago, extensive renovation work was commissioned, and more of the picture was revealed. it had, over the centuries, got very dark. it was brown and sludgy, and didn't look at all inspiring. and then it was restored and we see what we have now. and it is a joy and a delight. the restoration was carried out by art historian ronald moore, in his studio on the welsh english border. he was inspired to delve further. 11,000 hours of research, in fact, in which he uncovered its history.

examination under ultraviolet light revealed the inscribed name of titian, one of the 16th century's greatest masters, and he's convinced the artwork was created by painters from the titian workshop, a common practice of the time. there is sufficient evidence, not just with the signature, but many, many facets, all come together to show that this is indeed a titian workshop picture. we've got a lot of evidence to indicate that. it's extremely important in that there is no titian workshop picture on this scale which has been undiscovered for such a long period of time. he believes that the apostle wearing the golden robe is titian as a young man. the most likely painter of this figure, he believes, was titian's son. the value of the artwork can only be guessed at.

a titian workshop painting last sold for more than £7 million. but at the parish church where it hangs in ledbury, its worth is not measured by its monetary value, but by the joy it brings to the congregation. they say it will be displayed here for years to come. sian lloyd, bbc news, ledbury. the only painting thought to have been completed by winston churchill during the second world war has sold at auction for more than £8 million. the artwork depicts a 12th—century mosque in marrakech at sunset with the atlas mountains in the background. it has had several owners, including angelina jolie and her then partner brad pitt. a reminder that this afternoon as we'll be answering your questions on the currentjobs market with the founder of the black young professional network and ceo of the youth group for advice on graduate opportunities, unemployment and how to re—train mid—career.

but it may linger once again across parts of eastern england down into lincolnshire and those temperatures are likely to struggle, as well. so at the very best, we could just see around 5 or 6 degrees here, top temperatures through the afternoon peaking at 13 celsius. now, as we move into the evening we are likely to see more fog returning in off the north sea. by contrast, a bit more of a breeze will pick up and a weak weather front will bring some showers into the far south—west of cornwall and devon as we go through the end of the night. here temperature staying at around 7 degrees, elsewhere with the cloud around we will perhaps keep those temperatures above freezing. so this little front is going to enhance some showers down to the south—west, spreading their way slowly northwards as we go through the day on wednesday. some of those showers could be quite heavy, maybe the odd rumble of thunder feeling their way steadily out of wales towards the midlands and maybe perhaps along that m4 corridor, as well. to the north and east, we keep some cloud. it stays disappointing where the cloud is at around 4 or 5 degrees, top temperatures once again

in the south—east if we get some sunshine at 14. but the weather story is set to change, the colder air will return as a new area of high pressure drifts in from the north and we start to see the wind direction swinging round to more of a north—easterly. that is going to drive in a cooler air mass across the country eventually, so by thursday a different feel for all of us. there will be a fair amount of cloud around as well by comparison. top temperatures likely to be 5—8 degrees. we mightjust scrape double figures into the far south—west, but this cooler, quieter story is set to stay with us right into the weekend. no significant rain, but a disappointing feel.
