to be in all ireland referendum whether northern ireland joins the republic, that is astonishing to reach so soon. we've been focusing on scotland whether or not it will have a vote may be the next few years, but ireland can be every bit as a crisis for the uk.— years, but ireland can be every bit as a crisis for the uk. everyone who knows about — as a crisis for the uk. everyone who knows about the _ as a crisis for the uk. everyone who knows about the irish _ as a crisis for the uk. everyone who knows about the irish problem, - as a crisis for the uk. everyone who knows about the irish problem, the | knows about the irish problem, the whole reunification thing, they've been talking about that for weeks and months. there is this feeling of wanting to be on our own. we shall see, we shall see in scotland very soon which way it's going. but of course, in a way, the whole thing about a nation state in joining course, in a way, the whole thing about a nation state injoining up in being separate has an allure to it. a dangerous allure and it may not help the country, but it has an allure, doesn't it? i not help the country, but it has an allure, doesn't it?— not help the country, but it has an allure, doesn't it? i like the sound of this. allure, doesn't it? i like the sound of this- this— allure, doesn't it? i like the sound of this. this of _ allure, doesn't it? i like the sound of this. this of the _ allure, doesn't it? i like the sound of this. this of the front _ allure, doesn't it? i like the sound of this. this of the front of - allure, doesn't it? i like the sound of this. this of the front of the - of this. this of the front of the daily mail. lane keeping technology because i'm not a natural driver, i do drive and managed to scare both

there's been a boost for the women's champions league with uefa announcing they'll be distributing more money to it — they were willing to walk away from they were willing tr champions from league, these clubs are now fighting to reach the final. such is the modern game. being redeveloped, this time it was played in more modest surroundings. they could have, and should have but the confidence on the in they would get the better to give chelsea an impressive lead. but real madrid have won this tournament 13 times. with experience comes resilience and with him comes goals, this time with added style. weather can be a great leveler but they want to kick up a storm, against the former cloud, they failed to match the hype. i—i puts chelsea in control with a valuable away goal of

the champions league lives on. there's been a boost for the women's champions league with uefa announcing they'll be distributing more money to it — the current amount. the winner could earn i.a million euros — depending on their results across the competition. it's being hailed as a huge boost for the women's game, but it is worth noting the winner of the men's champions league can earn up to around 82 and a half million euros over the tournament. rotherham united's grip on their place in the championship slipped further with defeat at brentford, losing 1—0. bryan mbeumo scored the only goal of the game for thomas frank's side who are assured of a play off spot while the millers, despite having a game in hand, will need to rely on results going their way if they're to avoid the drop. nowjust to warn you that there are some flashing images coming up because cheltenham town have sealed promotion to league one after a 1—1 draw with ca rlisle united. they haven't played in league one since 2009 and as you can see,

their manager michael duff is quite pleased with the achievement. the head of the professional footballers association — gordon taylor — speaking to a parliamentary committee — has denied that the organisation has been too slow to act over increasing evidence that concussion in sport is linked to neurological conditions like dementia. while on the same subject a new study has found that teenage girls are almost twice as likely to suffer concussion playing football, compared to teenage boys. researchers at the university of glasgow and in the us, are now calling for more work to be done looking at the risks to girls. this is a controversial thing to suggest but may you have to think about the specific differences in the game. if girls are getting concussed more regularly from hitting a ball orfrom collision with the ball, we should think about should adolescent females actually be hitting the ball at all, should we think of it the differences in

approach for athletes. the all england club has announced that it hopes to welcome at least 25 percent of its usual crowds to wimbledon, which equates to around 10,000 people, for the tournament which starts at the end ofjune. they've said they hope henman hill will be open for business — with social distancing in place. and from next year there will be a change to the schedule — it was announced play on the middle sunday of the tournament will become a permanent addition. previously that day has only been used to accommodate a backlog of matches from the first week and the ceo of the all england lawn tennis club club sally bolton believes it will help relieve the pressure on the event. it's been called manic for a reason and in some places, it is exciting because it is so busy and crazy. but in many ways, we don't think it is donejustice to the in many ways, we don't think it is done justice to the quality of the tenets that we haven't quite often are having to make decisions between watching two different amazing matches when actually if the opportunity to watch both we are

spreading that across two days. yes, we may well miss the manic nature of it but all of the athletes competing on those two days left much more of a platform for those matches and fans love the chance to watch all of those matches. three australian players have left the indian premier league early to make sure they got home before their country shut its borders. india has recorded record numbers of infections and its highest daily death rate with those figures expected to climb. one of those returning australians is andrew tye, who gave his thoughts on the competition continuing. i still feel it is a great environment for the players but now it's just a matter of fact that they have to stay in play and it's just whether or not they can get out there safely and possibly get on with it at this stage. he knocked out ronnie 0'sullivan in the last 16 and anthony mcgill holds a 9—7 lead

in his quarter final match against stuart bingham at the world snooker championship. bingham played a contenderfor shot of the tournament in the first frame of the evening session. it didn't seem possible for him to pot the red over the pocket but on second viewing — he judged the angles to perfection. but mcgill came from behind with two century breaks to hold a two frame advantage going into the final session tomorrow. first to 13 progresses to the semi finals. a tight match between 2010 champion neil robertson and last year's runner up kyren wilson, as they're tied at eight frames a piece. neither player was at their best with robertson winning the final frame to setup a fascinating final session tomorrow morning and that's all the sport for now. hello.

april 2021 is now officially the frostiest april on record. that is since records began in 1960 and it is based on the number of frosty nights we've seen. every night so far this april, temperatures have fallen below freezing and we've had an air frost. it may well be the case though that as we make our way into the early hours of wednesday, we escape and there's a lot of cloud sitting across the uk at the moment thanks to an area of low pressure sinking its way south. quite a strong wind across scotland and where skies clear, the chance of frost will be pretty limited. here's the centre of that low as we get wednesday underway to the south of the uk. to the north, the skies are clearer but there will be some chilly air around, those isobars are close together and that means a stiff north easterly wind. the heaviest of the shower on wednesday would be close to the low centre for wales, the midlands and the southwest of england.

certainly for the first part of the day, some of the wind will drift further eastwards later in the afternoon. some isolated showers across the scotland and northern ireland but more in the way of sunny spells here. but generally quite a chilly field to proceedings across the north across the uk as we pick up the northwesterly, northeasterly, i should say, wind. the low pulls away towards the continent on thursday, as it does so, the northeasterly wind drags arctic air right away across the uk. the isobars open up as well. without the strength of the wind, that leaves us open to seeing quite a wider spread of frost as we move into the early hours on thursday. perhaps the southeast still close enough to the low to escape. through the day, there will be a lot of sunshine across the uk, but it will feel chilly and particularly on the north sea coast. just light breezes in contrast to wednesday, but with lighter breezes, where we do see some showers developing and we are seeing some that will be quite slow—moving. locally some heavy downpours but disappointing temperatures with ten to 12 as highs.

things look very similar for friday and indeed it looks like we will hold on to a cooler air and light winds and some decent spells of sunshine, but isolated showers as we move into the bank holiday weekend. but what will be a talking point for us is the overnight frost.
