here's monday's weather map — low pressure out in the north sea, that means a cold northerly across scotland and along the north sea coast. it will feel pretty baltic, with the wind blowing off the north sea. some showers, for sure, the best of the weather will be out towards the west and the south. here, temperatures will be around, say, at best ten celsius, but six celsius in the northerly, and newcastle is pretty chilly indeed. bye— bye.

welcome, thank you forjoining us. we start with the performance — and result — wales fans were hoping for in cardiff today. after the disappointment of losing to ireland on the opening weekend of the six nations, the defending champions bounced back with a much improved showing against scotland, winning by 20—17. dan biggar proving to be the man for a big game again, as our sports correspondent.joe wilson reports: i , well it is cardiff, and... the genius of darcy graham! you can dive to the line like that or you can pirouette like this. with the weight of the forwards behind him, tomas francis, half—time 14—14. now look at fin russell's army. officials decided the scottish player knocked

the ball on deliberately, yellow card. scores level, so wales with the advantage. dan biggar, his 100th international try, they drop goal. scores at the point that took wales in front. ., ., ., , ., in front. scotland only found the red wall. wales _ in front. scotland only found the red wall. wales won _ in front. scotland only found the red wall. wales won a _ in front. scotland only found the red wall. wales won a final- in front. scotland only found the i red wall. wales won a final penalty and thus won the match. it red wall. wales won a final penalty and thus won the match.— red wall. wales won a final penalty and thus won the match. it has been and thus won the match. it has been a very difficult _ and thus won the match. it has been a very difficult week, _ and thus won the match. it has been a very difficult week, we _ and thus won the match. it has been a very difficult week, we have - and thus won the match. it has been a very difficult week, we have had i a very difficult week, we have had to put up with a lot of flak, rightly so, but to come back here with tesco, put on a show like that, roll their sleeves up, it is one of my best victories in my 100 —— come back here. a great result for wales. this so huge celebrations for wales, but for scotland the wait for a win in cardiff goes on. it's now 20 years since they've won in the welsh capital, and they're yet to win two matches in a row in the six nations. for us, we didn't get too carried away with ourselves. i for us, we didn't get too carried away with ourselves.— away with ourselves. i think at times last _ away with ourselves. i think at times last week _ away with ourselves. i think at times last week we _ away with ourselves. i think at times last week we were - away with ourselves. i think at | times last week we were really away with ourselves. i think at - times last week we were really quite good and other parts we could have

improved even more so it especially disappointing at the minute, but i'm sure we will look back and there are things we will be proud of and not so proud of and we will look to get better. it's a horrible feeling right now, but that is test match rugby, isn't it? to the second match of the weekend then and ireland, who showed their strength in their win over wales last weekend, have been beatem by france in paris. ireland were behind afterjust two minutes in this one and 22—7 down at one stage but this clever try from jamison gibson—park who spotted the opening, pulled his team back to within touching distance. but france would soon respond as cyril baille restored their lead in paris. france lead the six nations table with two wins from two. england take on italy in rome tomorrow — a match they've got to win, after scotland beat them at murrayfield last week. eddiejones has made wholesale

changes to the side, eight in total. harry randall will replace ben youngs at scrum—half and earn his third england cap. attack coach martin gleeson has promised that england will play their own game and use the defeat against scotland in a positive way. you learn, don't you? you figure things out and think, what can we get better? and you learn more any defeat than you do any victory. hopefully in the long run, it could be good for us. but yeah, there was a lot of learning from that, and a lot of things to take forward going into this week. let's move on to football where it's now three games without a win for manchester united in all competitions after they missed the chance to move into the premier league's top four in the day's early game. ralf rangnicks side were booed off the pitch after they were held to a 1—1 draw by an impressive southampton. lydia campbell reports. it wouldn't take much for southampton to improve on their last result here. that was a 9—0 defeat. and if ronaldo had put this away

after six minutes, you would forgive those in yellow for feeding the worst. ralf rangnick has said it is obvious united need a new striker in the summer, but here his wingers were combining, rashford, sancho, 1-0 were combining, rashford, sancho, 1—0 united. soon after the break, southampton drew level, adams where the precise finish. united had the ball in the net next, but reynaldo's header was ruled out for offside, and then was harry maguire fortunate not to concede a penalty —— but reynaldo's header. the ar decided this was accidental. there was just about enough time for one last chance, but maguire couldn't grab the winner. the final whistle was met with boos from the home faithful as united's top four hopes suffered another blow. we as united's top four hopes suffered another blow.— another blow. we have to see and realise where _ another blow. we have to see and realise where we _ another blow. we have to see and realise where we currently - another blow. we have to see and

realise where we currently are - another blow. we have to see and| realise where we currently are and where we stand. they won a 2—3 at tottenham, they have also expected to beat them easily and we got a point today, we desperately needed three points. but this is the situation where then, that is why there was a change of managers and thatis there was a change of managers and that is why we are here, so if anything, it would have been as everybody would have expected it to be, then i wouldn't even be here. everton have ended a run of six league games without a win, as they beat leeds 3—0. it's their first premier league win since frank lampard took over. it moves them five points clear of the relegation zone. captain seamus coleman put them ahead from donny van de beek�*s beek�*s cross. michael keane headed in the second, and anthony gordon added the third after half time. elsewhere, brentford drew 0—0 with crystal palace, goals from neal maupay and alex webster gave brighton a 2—0 win at watford that leaves the roy hodgson�*s side deep in relegation trouble, and in the evening kick—off league leaders manchester city are two goals up at norwich, thanks

to raheem sterling and phil foden. in scotland, aaron ramsey is making his first start for rangers against annan athletic in the fifth round of the scottish cup. and it's fair to say that he is being eased into life in scotland with rangers 3—0 up early in the second half against their league two opponents. earlier, hearts and livingston was goalless after extra time, with the hosts going through on penalties. motherwell, st mirren and dundee united are also through to the last eight. this further afield, there's a huge game currently being played in abu dhabi — the final of the club world cup between chelsea has gone to extra—time. it's the only trophy chelsea haven't won since roman abramovich took over nearly 20 years ago. romelu lukaku scored the only goal of chelsea's semifinal victory over al hilal, and the belgian put his side ahead in the second half. but they only led for a few minutes — a thiago silva handball giving

palmeiras a penalty, which was coolly dispatched by rafael vega and they're now playing extra—time. it remains1—1. to the winter olympics in beijing. still no medals for team gb, with nothing to show in the skeleton for the first time in 20 years. there was some good news for britain's curlers, though, on day eight, as they beat the united states. our senior sports news reporter laura scott is there for us. there is both soul—searching and head scratching within team gb's skeleton squad after a dismal couple of days here at the sliding centre. skeleton has been the linchpin of great britain's winter olympics success in recent years with gold medals at the past three games, medals at the past three games, medals at the past three games, medals at every olympics since 2002, but none here. whether the difficulty on the track exemplified most by laura dees, who finished with a bronze of four years ago in pyongyang, but came 19 tonight, meaning none of the four british skeleton athletes finished inside the top ten. that is despite nearly

£6.5 million of uk sport funding. there are questions being asked about their slides. elsewhere today, great britain's pair of charlotte banks and hugh nightingale finished sixth in the mix snowboard cross ski event. i'm hearing that but disappointment and frustration in the camp, but not deflation at this stage. hopes remain in the carling and eddie bobsleigh. elsewhere today, we have had an update on the ongoing saga related to the teenage skating prodigy and we have heard from the... the world anti—doping agency and the international skating union against the russian authorities' decision to left her provisional suspension after she tested positive for the banned substance. we now know the heating will take place in beijing tomorrow evening with a decision expected on

monday after an —— a hearing. she practised today and that is because, as things stand, she will be any women's singles event on tuesday, where she is the favourite for gold. but that decision now lies in the hands of the 3—person panel, her dealing with a case that both highly controversial to do with russia and doping, but also deeply troubling because it concerns a 15—year—old athlete. we await that decision on monday. while team gb still wait for a medal, they've kept their play—off hopes on track in the women's curling after the british team won an important match against the united states. the american�*s went into this unbeaten, but despite losing two of their three matches so far eve muirhead here, vicky wright, jen dodds and hailey duff held off a fightback to win10—5. that means they're back on track in the round robin phase and return to the ice against denmark tomorrow. there was a terrific game at headingley in rugby league's super league today,

with warrington coming from behind late in the game to beat 12—man leeds rhinos by 22—20. eight—time super league champions leeds led for much of the first half before josh charnley scored one of his two tries to send warrington injust two points behind at the break. the rhinos extended their lead in the second half, but with six minutes left on the clock it was 20 points all when connor wrench crossed the line. that left his team—mate stefan ratchford to conquer his nerves. that he did, completing a memorable 22—20 win for the wolves. later, newcomers tolouse take on huddersfield. that's all from sportsday. i'll be back with you in around an hour. for now, goodbye.

can you hear me? hello? yes, can you hear me? are you muted? no, are you frozen? all i'm getting is me back. i can hear me. hang on. sorry! hang on! what have you done? have you dropped the phone? yeah, sorry. i can hear you now. hello? you've got me? yes, there we go. i'm more used to talking to you like this than in real life now. yeah, and i'm more used to talking to you while you're walking up and down wherever you're going. did you know that a fifth of all zoom meetings last year took place while people

were walking and running? and i reckon that's all you. all me — just think of the steps! but many people have been doing it a bit more horizontally.
