but anything britain could do, sweden could do better. he's done well, very well. splitting these familiar rivals was, at points, too close to call. time to bring in the curling compass. a shot for great britain. it was close. but whether in the smash—up job... it's like the demolition derby when he comes to play. ..or the cagey game of chess, the swedes just had the edge. bruce... after nearly three hours of tactics and tension... it's got to hit that red. ..the red stone in the house brought the gold medal home for sweden. sweden have won the gold medal. heartbreak for the british team, after the narrowest of defeats. not the golden moment they so badly wanted, but once the obvious disappointment subsides, this team will celebrate the silver medal that finally puts team gb on the medal table on the penultimate day of these games. so the drought over then for team gb, not the gold

brought by storm eunice. but on top of that, we've also seen some tricky weather conditions out there today. a spell of heavy rain and, at times, some snow moving across the peak district and up into the pennines as we speak. at the same time, north of that, it was a beautiful day. after recent heavy snow eased on friday in scotland, we had blue sky and sunshine. beautiful in perth and kinross. this has been the story, then, over the last few hours. the wet weather pushed in from the west and you can see where the snow was, across parts of derbyshire, south yorkshire, easing away off to the east, before another system moves in through the night tonight, bringing yet more wet and windy weather with it. in fact, we will see widespread gales on exposed coasts once again, as we head into tomorrow. so, the rain first thing quite light and patchy across central and southern england, but some heavier bursts of rain across southern parts of northern ireland, moving into northern england and eventually into wales. that's going to gradually drift its way steadily eastwards throughout the day. for scotland, for northern ireland, sunny spells and blustery showers,
7:58 pm
but we could see gusts of winds in excess of 55—60 mph on exposed coasts, 45—50 inland, so another pretty windy afternoon. mild with it, across england and wales, 11—13 celsius. a little bit cooler with those wintry showers continuing in scotland. now, as we move out of sunday into monday, still low pressure sitting to the north of the country, still plenty of isobars on the chart. it's going to drive in plenty of showers first thing, with the strongest of the winds first thing on monday morning, again gusting close to 55—60 mph. but as we go through the morning on monday, the winds should start to ease and so too should some of those showers. so, into the afternoon, we'll see more in the way of sunshine coming through, so despite the wind direction swinging around to a north—westerly, with a little bit more sunshine coming through now and we're in the middle of february, temperatures will still hold up into double figures for many. as we move out of tuesday into wednesday, it's a similar weather story really. low pressure sits up into the north. plenty of isobars on the charts, still unfortunately wet and windy at times. and you can see that on the outlook tuesday into wednesday. wednesday, a bit of a respite across england and wales, with a little more sunshine
