next few days about the cost—of—living crisis and leveling up cost—of—living crisis and leveling up in the north and that kind of thing so really trying to put out announcements to move the agenda away from party gait. this whole issue of removing vat at 5% does seem to be the most popular option for possibly reducing energy bill costs, but i on a default tariff and talking about bills that are going to rise to nearly £2000 from april, then that's not a big saving really. we've had a comparative mild winter so far and we believe it's onlyjust the end of january and we so far and we believe it's onlyjust the end ofjanuary and we all so far and we believe it's onlyjust the end of january and we all know, i think the beast from the east came in march from my memory so certain later than this. let's pray for a winter for people who are keeping or not putting the heat on quite a sight as a might otherwise do. great picture on the front of the ft

i'm olly foster with the latest from the bbc sport centre. frank lampard has been offered the vacant everton manager's job. he's been out of work for a year after being sacked by chelsea. the 43—year—old had been on a shortlist with the portuguese vitor pereira and current caretaker boss at goodison park, duncan ferguson. everton sacked rafa benitezjust under two weeks ago following a run ofjust one win in 13 in the league. they lie 16th in the table, four points above the relegation zone. former everton star wayne rooney says he turned down an interview for the everton role, choosing instead to focus on his job at derby county to try and keep them in the championship. i believe i will be a premier league manager, i believe i'm ready for that, 100%, and if that is with everton one day in the future,

that would be absolutely great. but i've got a job here at derby county which is an important job to me and it means me getting the team ready for sunday. huddersfield could have moved up to fifth in the championship this evening, but were held to a 1—1 draw at home to stoke. the big talking point came in the first half when huddersfield wingerjosh koroma somehow avoided even a booking for this horror tackle on taylor harwood—bellis. to add insult, koroma then scored a deflected openerfor the home side. stoke deserved their point, though, and after some frantic penalty box pinball, substitute jacob brown fired in the equaliser with 12 minutes remaining. world heavyweight champion tyson fury will defend his wbc title against fellow brit and mandatory challenger dillian whyte. fury had been trying to negotiate a unification bout with 0lexander usyk,

who holds all the other world heavyweight titles, but anthonyjoshua has a rematch with the ukrainian and wouldn't step aside, so fury will take on whyte. a date and venue for the fight is still to be confirmed, but is likely to be in april in the uk. the last time an australian won a singles title at their home grand slam was in the late �*705. that drought could come to an end tomorrow morning. ash barty carries the weight of the nation in the women's final and is the huge favourite against the american danielle collins. patrick gearey reports. they have got the ashes and now for the ashes. tomorrow morning in melbourne, austria will be with ash barty, on her shoulders a long and heavy weight and 44 years since this woman was the last aussie to win that trophy. no pressure. it’s woman was the last aussie to win that trophy. no pressure. it's fun, be it be playing — that trophy. no pressure. it's fun, be it be playing in _ that trophy. no pressure. it's fun, be it be playing in the _ that trophy. no pressure. it's fun, be it be playing in the business i that trophy. no pressure. it's fun, | be it be playing in the business end of your home slam. i'm not going to lie about that, it's amazing and i think being able to experience it

things in a different way, but always with the spirit i have, because i can't go against that, it's my personal dna. there was a huge result for bath in the rugby union premiership, beating champions harlequins 21—17 for only their second win of the season. it was a tight game at the rec, but two second half tries from william muir put them in control, and despite a late quins fight back, they held on for the win. it's not enough to lift them off the bottom of the table, though. two games in the united rugby championship. dragons drew 13—13 at home to benetton. the italians missed a late penalty to win it. ulster climbed to second in the table, running in four tries in a 27—15 win at home to scarlets. craig gilroy scored the last of them, although was fortunate to be on the pitch, receiving just a yellow in the first half for a high tackle. golf's dubai desert classic is at the half—way stage. south africa'sjustin harding is out in front on 11—under—par. there's a strong british contingent in the chasing pack, england's tyrrell hatton just two shots back and northern ireland's rory mcllroy, a two—time winner in dubai, is one of five players

on seven—under. and don't forget you can keep across day three of the women's ashes test in canberra right now with live commentary on bbc sounds and the bbc sport app. that's all the sport for now. hello there. northern parts of britain readying for a very windy weekend. we've got two separate storms which could bring some damage and some disruption. not a bad weekend, i think, further south across southern britain, close to this area of high pressure. so, the first of the two storms moving to the north of the uk. lots of isobars on the charts, widespread gates for the northern half of the country. severe gales across scotland, gusts up to 80 mph. we've got an amber warning in force for eastern scotland, we could see some impacts here. a band of cloud will sink southwards across the country, becoming confined to the south later in the day. here, it'll stay mild, but it'll will be cooling down elsewhere with sunshine and blustery showers. different story on sunday. we start off with a ridge of high pressure, so it's cold,

bright with some sunshine before the next storm pushes into the north west of the country later in the day bringing widespread gales, some heavy rain and mountain snow here. it will be a chillier day across the board on sunday. so, two storms to come for this weekend. we're going to see some disruption, particularly across the north of the country. stay tuned to the forecast.
