labour leader has called on the labour leader has called on government to publish data supporting, sentiment data supporting, sentiment data supporting this end of the legal restrictions and requirement to self—isolate and i think that's quite a fair thing to ask. and i think the day of freedom that businesses, many businesses and asked for and longed for because they have been hurting very badly during the last two years is a day of huge, huge considerable anxiety for anybody who is immunosuppressed and just relying on personal responsibility, we have seen that some all the way up to government have not, it would seem, taken that personal responsibility, so there will be very anxious time for people and i think we all have to hope that people will behave very responsibly and that is indeed the great majority of people during the pandemic did but with the bat is simple we have seen, whether it's a minister having to resign, or

good evening. novak djokovic has won his first match of the year. it comes after missing last month's australian open due to his deportation from the country as a result of not being vaccinated against covid—i9. the world number one made light work of wild card lorenzo musetti at the dubai tennis championships, beating the italian in straight sets injust 73 minutes. the serb will play either russia's karen khachanov or australia's alex de minaur next. andy murray came from a set down to beat australian qualifier christopher o'connell in three sets. he was really turning on the style and showing his athleticism as he set up match point. the victory comes a week after murray suffered one of the heaviest defeats of his career, 6—0, 6—1 against roberto bautista agut in doha. he'll now face either alejandro davidovich fokina or world number ten jannik sinner. chelsea are in chapmions league

action on tuesday as they welcome lille to stamford bridge, but all the pre—match talk has centred around their misfiring star striker romelu lukaku, and in particular his recent premier league outing at the weekend. chelsea's most expensive player, who was signed at the start of the season for $115 million, only touched the ball seven times in saturday's win at crystal palace, the lowest number any player has managed in a 90—minute premier league appearance since at least 2003, when that data was first recorded.. it can be like this, and this is of course know we want and of course not what he wants, but it's also not like... it's not a time to laugh about him and makejokes like... it's not a time to laugh about him and make jokes about like... it's not a time to laugh about him and makejokes about him. he is in the spotlight of course we will protect him because he is our player. now, at the peak of his career, jack wilshere was seen as one of the best midfielders in england. but his career has been heavily affected by injuries,

and he had been without a club for eight months. but now the former arsenal player has found a new home in denmark. wilshere has joined aarhus, who play in the danish super league. the midfielder has signed a deal until the summer with an option to extend and will wear the number ten shirt. if you would asked me ten years ago would _ if you would asked me ten years ago would i_ if you would asked me ten years ago would i be _ if you would asked me ten years ago would i be in denmark, probably a note _ would i be in denmark, probably a note with— would i be in denmark, probably a note. with the way that things have happened _ note. with the way that things have happened and the way that my career has gone, _ happened and the way that my career has gone, i'm here and that's football~ _ has gone, i'm here and that's football. some of these things always— football. some of these things always happen in football. you know with previous players. but one thing i can with previous players. but one thing i can say— with previous players. but one thing i can say is— with previous players. but one thing i can say is i've been training for a long _ i can say is i've been training for a long period of i can say is i've been training for along period of time now and i a long period of time now and i feel really— along period of time now and i feel really good. let's bring you up to date with all the squad news for this weekend's six nations, and a boost for wales ahead of their crunch tie with england at twickenham. taulupe faletau is back in the squad after recovering from injury. the british and irish lions back rower played 80 minutes on saturday in his second match back for bath after seven months out injured. faletau comes into the squad following wales' victory over scotland in round two,

having lost their opener to ireland. scotland head coach gregor townsend has added six players to the squad to face france at murrayfield on saturday. jonny gray was among the big names to drop out due to injury. uncapped glasgow warriors duo ollie smith and kiran mcdonald are draughted in, along with simon berghan, oli kebble, marshall sykes and james lang. and james lowe is back in the ireland squad for their upcoming match against italy on sunday. the leinster wing missed the first two matches of this year's six nations with injury. his club team—matejimmy o'brien has been given a call—up, too. next to golf, the proposed saudi—backed super league is "dead in the water" according to rory mcilroy after two more big—name golfers ruled themselves out ofjoining the breakaway league. bryson dechambeau and dustinjohnson have reaffirmed their commitment to the pga tour. let's hear from our golf correspondent ian carter on the latest developments. johnson, he actually used the pga tour's social media outlets to outline

he is actually still very much behind the established american circuit. and shortly after that, bryson dechambeau took to his own social media channels to say that as long as the best players in the world were continuing to play on the pga tour, that's exactly where he would continue to play his golf. there are, we think, some players who are still interested, but, significantly, all of the big names, all of the younger stars have aligned themselves with the pga tour. without the big names, without the likes of dechambeau and johnson, who were the big names that i think greg norman and his colleagues in terms of trying to launch this super league were hoping that they would be able to hang this whole project around. without them, it does look dead in the water. disability golf has received a boost with a revamped and renamed golf for the disabled tour announced today, with more tournaments and investment for the european disabled golf association. the dp world tour, formally known as the european tour, will increase its support to take the tour semi—professional. it'll also feature events

at the porsche open in germany and bmw championship at wentworth for the first time. mark cavendish has claimed his second win of the year with victory on stage two of the uae tour. cavendish bounced back after missing out on the green jersey at last week's tour of oman. the 36—year—old edged out yasper philipsen in abu dhabi. he's now up to third overall, just six seconds behind the belgian who leads the race. and that's all the sport for now. hello. the weather is looking a little calmer and quieter for the rest of this week. no new named storms, but still some wet and windy weather at times. and of course we've got the legacy of all those storms, still some flooding. this is the picture in shrewsbury in shropshire. and it's really through the rest of the day, we're going to be continuing to see flood warnings in force, particularly across england and wales. there's also been a few for scotland as well.

now, all down to the fact that we have got another band of rain approaching from the north—west, so some of that rain's going to be falling on areas that really could do without it. still quite a lot of isobars on the map, so it's going to be another breezy day on tuesday, but certainly not those disruptive winds that we've seen recently. to start the day, it'll be coldest towards the east. that's where we will have had the clearest skies for longest overnight, but rain already across northern ireland and scotland. could be quite heavy through tuesday morning with some blustery winds. that sweeps across northern england into wales, too, and then it will tend to become quite light and patchy as it reaches the south east later in the day. it'll be followed by sunshine and showers. some of those showers wintry over the higher ground of scotland, and gusts of wind around about a0 mph for some of us. so, anotherfairly cool—feeling day across scotland and northern ireland where you're exposed to the windier conditions, too. but reasonably mild still further south and east. temperatures about 13 degrees, but turning colder behind that cold front as it sweeps eastwards. now, overnight then, we're in that cold air mass and lighter winds and clearer spells, too, so that's the recipe

for quite a chilly night as we head into the early hours of wednesday. could be a touch of frost, particularly across england and wales. it will cloud over a bit from the north, bringing some rain across northern parts of scotland as we start the day. so, after that fairly cool, but mostly dry start towards the south at least, what we will see is this weather frontjust making inroads into scotland and northern ireland, so trying to push in. bumping into higher pressure further south. so, that will bring outbreaks of rain, perhaps a bit of mountain snow to scotland, later in the day into northern ireland, perhaps a few showers in the far northw wst of england later on. but for much of england and wales, thankfully we're looking at a drier day on wednesday. some sunshine around, temperatures around about 10—11 degrees in the south, but to the north of that cold front, only around about seven degrees there for stornoway for instance. and then we're looking at a colder day more widely on thursday with some blustery showers, another fairly windy—feeling day, but thankfully things looking a little bit warmer, drier and brighter by the time we get to friday. bye for now.
