hip, hip, hip! hurray! today's cheers were unscripted. and in two weeks, there will be another heartfelt occasion, a service of thanksgiving for the life of the duke of edinburgh. the queen will hope to be there. nicholas witchell, bbc news. time for a look at the weather, here's matt taylor. more of us had a bit of dry weather tomorrow. there had been some rain around today. that is due to a weather front approaching tonight but for the time being still somewhat weathered to come in scotland and the north of england but clearing away in the first part of the night. for most largely clear skies for time and that means some

frost going into tomorrow morning. west of scotland and northern ireland frost free with cloud increasing. the highlands and islands having some of the wettest weather for the eastern parts of northern ireland and scotland getting the isolated shower. mostly join in the east of england and feeling quite pleasant. 14, 16 degrees feeling quite pleasant. 1a, 16 degrees compared to just seven or 8 degrees compared to just seven or 8 degrees in the north of scotland. the weather front continues to push across scotland and northern ireland in the evening with some showers. cloud increasing for england and wales due to a big storm system across spain and portugal at the minute. when steak a bit of a change from what we expected but a cloudy day for england and wales. outbreaks of rain later on developing more widely in the afternoon. some of that heavy and persistent. scotland and northern ireland a bit more

sunshine by comparison. still quite muddy towards the south—east corner. not quite disguise that we are seeing in spain this afternoon. but as we head towards the weekend it is back to blue skies for us all here. a reminder of our top story... russia is continuing to bombard ukraine's major cities despite another round of talks between the two sides. that's all from the bbc news at six — so it's goodbye from me — and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc�*s news teams where you are.

hello and welcome to sportsday. i'm gavin ramjaun. they might be the defending world champions, but three defeats in three for england puts them on the brink in the women's world cup. chelsea await confirmation over when they can sell tickets again. the club say they're in daily contact with the government, following sanctions on russian owner roman abramovich. and brady is back! the seven—time super bowl winner makes a u—turn on his retirement — "unfinished business," he says.

hello there and welcome to the programme. it's becoming a bit of a nightmare in new zealand, for the women's world cup holders england. it's now three losses in three for them following defeat to south africa. england can still qualify for the semi—finals, but the defending champions have to win all their remaining matches and hope results elsewhere go their way. jo currie reports. down and now possibly out of the world cup. england's dreams of defending their trophy almost over. one of their biggest problems of late has been inconsistent batting, and once again that was their downfall. as early wickets offered downfall. as early wickets offered down after early wickets fell. tammy beaumont�*s, though, dug in, as did amyjones, both reaching half century. but with no other notable

knocks, they set south africa a target. the pressure was on england's bowlers and fielders. there was an early break through, but the errors and frustrations also continued. wolvaardt dropped again there understand me —— and englander englander worst enemy... south africa batted out the match and the victory. africa batted out the match and the victo . ., .,, africa batted out the match and the victo . ., ., , victory. one of those ones where stuff is not _ victory. one of those ones where stuff is not clicking _ victory. one of those ones where stuff is not clicking in _ victory. one of those ones where stuff is not clicking in the fields. | stuff is not clicking in the fields. we missed a couple chances again. we are fighting hard. wejust we missed a couple chances again. we are fighting hard. we just conducted over the line. are fighting hard. we 'ust conducted overthe line.— over the line. england now face india on wednesday _ over the line. england now face india on wednesday knowing i over the line. england now face i india on wednesday knowing there world cup hopes hang by a thread. jo currie, bbc news. yes, all in the balance for england, then — and the pressure very much on if they're to stay in with a chance to defend the trophy. let's get some more on this now with the former middlesex captain

let's get more from henry moeran. it is restraining from england perspective. to lose your first three games in world cup, it is going to be difficult, they know that now —— frustrating. they have treated today like a knockout game and lost it. �* , ., , and lost it. aside from losing, they kee - and lost it. aside from losing, they keep making _ and lost it. aside from losing, they keep making mistakes. _ and lost it. aside from losing, they keep making mistakes. yeah, - and lost it. aside from losing, they keep making mistakes. yeah, theyj and lost it. aside from losing, they - keep making mistakes. yeah, they do, dro -|n~ keep making mistakes. yeah, they do, dronping catches. _ keep making mistakes. yeah, they do, dropping catches, bowling _ keep making mistakes. yeah, they do, dropping catches, bowling wide, - dropping catches, bowling wide, batting collapses. it has been a frustrating period to watch england cricket, but it is one of those things. they have not one a game this winter and have a bit of losing momentum behind them. we often have winning momentum and how you find ways to end, unfortunately for england, it is disappointing, but they find ways to lose it. it is disappointing _ they find ways to lose it. it is disappointing for _ they find ways to lose it. it is disappointing for england, but what he result for south africa. huge came. he result for south africa. huge game- they _ he result for south africa. huge game- they are _ he result for south africa. huge game. they are actually - he result for south africa. huge game. they are actually ranked | game. they are actually ranked second in the world, and they proved that today, beating england. there defending champions, england, they

one in 2017, so massive statement for south africa. this is one of those, for the first time ever, i think anyone can be anyone in this world cup —— they one in 2017. for england, they have been on the disappointing side.— england, they have been on the disappointing side. england, they have been on the disa ”ointin side. , a, ., ., disappointing side. henry moeran and alex hartley there. _ england's men hope to get a new managing director and head coach in place before their summer starts injune. that's what the man in temporary charge, sir andrew strauss, told the bbc today. strauss was at england training in barbados, where jofra archer linked up with the squad as he continues his recovery from injury. archer bowled in the nets. and england hope to have him back at some point this summer, by which time strauss told our cricket correspondent jonathan agnew he wants to have a new management team ready to go. there is a slight ticking clock, in terms of the start of the international summer in the beginning ofjune, and we want to get that person in position, and thenit get that person in position, and then it will be there decision as to around the coast or coaches as well, which hopefully also will be in position by the summer. but as you

can see, there is a bit of time pressure to make that happen. that's a lot. the pressure to make that happen. that's a lot- the new— pressure to make that happen. that's a lot. the new managing _ pressure to make that happen. that's a lot. the new managing director - pressure to make that happen. that's a lot. the new managing director is going to have a big hand in appointed to coast? he going to have a big hand in appointed to coast? he has to, because it's — appointed to coast? he has to, because it's going _ appointed to coast? he has to, because it's going to _ appointed to coast? he has to, because it's going to be - appointed to coast? he has to, because it's going to be his - appointed to coast? he has to, i because it's going to be his team, right? he has to look at how he wants to structure the england department, if you want to put it that way. and whether he goes with the single coast or two coast model. and he has got to have his team, he has to have the people he feels can work with him and has a similar philosophy, etc, etc. it is very much the first piece in the jigsaw, getting the managing director in place, and things can hopefully come quickly at that point. i5 place, and things can hopefully come quickly at that point. is a place, and things can hopefully come quickly at that point.— quickly at that point. is a huge challenge- _ quickly at that point. is a huge challenge. it _ quickly at that point. is a huge challenge. it is _ quickly at that point. is a huge challenge. it is a _ quickly at that point. is a huge challenge. it is a big _ quickly at that point. is a huge challenge. it is a big job. i quickly at that point. is a huge| challenge. it is a big job. yeah, challenge. it is a big 'ob. yeah, but what a t challenge. it is a big 'ob. yeah, but what a great i challenge. it is a big job. yeah, but what a great time - challenge. it is a big job. yeah, but what a great time to - challenge. it is a big job. yeah, but what a great time to get i but what a great time to get involved. i think it is very rare to get the opportunity to start with a

blank sheet of paper, and i think this person is going to have that, and one thing i know for sure is, despite all the doom and gloom around english cricket, there are a lot of contributors out there —— a lot of contributors out there —— a lot of contributors out there —— a lot of good cricketers out there. we are not going to become brilliant overnight, but i think we have a lot of the ingredients in place already, quite frankly. changes at the top for england then — and if we turn our attentions to football now, it's set to be that way for chelsea too. the off field turbulence continues, in light of their ownership. the club is in daily contact with the government about their licence, following the freeze on the assets of their russian owner roman abramovich. our senior sports news reporter laura scottjoins us now. when it comes to the uncertainty around this, when they can sell tickets again, do we know at the latest is around that?— tickets again, do we know at the latest is around that? along with the existence _ latest is around that? along with the existence licence _ latest is around that? along with the existence licence issue i last week, chelsea cannot sell any more ticket than they have already, and clearly this does notjust affect chelsea fans, it affects fans of other clubs as well, because it

affects the way fans and also. chelsea issued a statement today. they said they are pressing the government to allow our supporters to have access to tickets, beatings are taking place daily in search of are taking place daily in search of a resolution. they say there is a high level of frustration among supporters. clearly the chelsea supporters. clearly the chelsea supporters trusting other fans want to be at the games, but the government are aware that, yes, the fans want that but they also knew the sanctions against roman abramovich need to have consequences —— clearly be chelsea supporters trust want fans. the fa are also in discussions with the government with the integrity issues involved in this, but as things stand, chelsea have said to supporters, if you don't have a ticket, don't come to our stadiums.— don't have a ticket, don't come to our stadiums. and how we learned an hinu our stadiums. and how we learned anything more _ our stadiums. and how we learned anything more about _ our stadiums. and how we learned anything more about who's - our stadiums. and how we learned anything more about who's in i our stadiums. and how we learned anything more about who's in the l anything more about who's in the running to by the cloud and day for a potential sale?—

he has been saying that as well. we know the telecommunications firm three suspended their deal, hyundai as well. issues there at the cloud. thank you very much indeed. laura scott, the latest —— issues at the club. chelsea, on the pitch, very much on form — they've won their last five. down at the other end of the premier league table, though, it looks like there could be a real relegation scrap. everton are now only above the bottom three on goal difference, after their loss to wolves. a troubling time for boss frank lampard — who's lost five of his six games in charge — and with tough fixtures against manchester united, liverpool and chelsea still to come, ped mcpartland from toffee tv told the football news show that he's worried about what lies ahead. the games, they are having a bit of a crutch, it is something you can positive and look at, but never to have won two games since the back end of september, so there's really nothing in them. and when you look

at that picture list, it looks frightening to be honest —— everton have won. other teams are picking up points where everton are not picking up points where everton are not picking up points. we picked up our points in the first two months of the season. since then, it has been a dramatic fall off. i am not expecting some great run, not expecting some great run, not expecting something to just turn. i think players work hard and the players start digging in a little bit. i am not expecting the people to become better and free—flowing. i think we have to take in and try and get results. starting on thursday with newcastle. ped mcpartland there. for more on the premier league relegation battle, you can watch the latest episode of the football news show on bbc iplayer. this weekend, we saw liverpool close the gap to manchester city at the top, but city can restore their six—point advantage later on, albeit having played a game more. they take on crystal palace in this evening's premier league match. conor mcnamara is there for us. it's not so long ago the premier league title race really did look

done and dusted, just over a month ago, manchester city had a seemingly unassailable 12 point lead at the top. the quite a lot has happened in that month. manchester city have had little wobble, they have dropped some points. you can buy that with some points. you can buy that with some strong form from liverpool and this title race is back on again, and this could prove a pivotal week. if city lost to crystal palace, it would give liverpool a chance on wednesday, we at arsenal, but if they were to win that game peppered with a loss here for city, liverpool could be top of the table. they're up could be top of the table. they're up against patrick vieira as chris the palace boss, and don't forget, when these teams met earlier in the season at the etihad, crystal palace beat manchester city. interesting game. we have radio commentary on radio five live. i will be alongside the former alice striker glenn

murray. —— palace striker. conor mcnamara. and dundee united and celtic are going to make the semi—finals of the scottish cup tonight. kick—off in just over an hour. let's have a quick look at some of the other stories making headlines today. the prize money on offer in the women's fa cup will increase tenfold, to £3 million, from next season. the current pot is £300,000, with the winners getting just £25,000. this is compared to the £1.8 million awarded to the men's winners. lewis hamilton says he will change his name to incorporate his mum carmen's surname. the seven—time world champion is likely to race under hamilton—larbalestier in the 2022 season, which begins this weekend. and tom curry has been ruled out of england's final game of the six nations against france this weekend. curry suffered a hamstring injury in the loss to ireland at twickenham — jack willis is brought in to replace him, after battling back from a serious knee injury. staying with the six nations, eddiejones says questions about his future as england head coach are part of the job. jones has been reflecting on the weekend's loss to ireland, which means they could finish fifth again in the table — if they lose to france this weekend,

in the last round of matches. jones insists the side are on the right path. our stated result was to win the title and we are disappointed we are not in a position to win it. and it's probably for other people to judge whether we are growing as a team. i've got my own internal assessment and i know what i am looking at, and i like what i see. and i think we are moving in the right direction, but i'm sure people have their own judgements top will —— judgment. have their own judgements top will ——judgment. d0 have their own 'udgements top will -- judgment.— have their own 'udgements top will -- judgment._ -- judgment. do you get frustration when peeple — -- judgment. do you get frustration when people question _ -- judgment. do you get frustration when people question if _ -- judgment. do you get frustration when people question if you - -- judgment. do you get frustration when people question if you should | when people question if you should have the _ when people question if you should have the job?— have the 'ob? know, that is part of the 'ob. have the job? know, that is part of the “oh. i have the job? know, that is part of the job- i don't _ have the job? know, that is part of the job. i don't thing _ have the job? know, that is part of the job. i don't thing it _ have the job? know, that is part of the job. i don't thing it helps i thejob. i don't thing it helps being australian, but that is part of the deal, and when i decided to do another cycle, i know that would be even more intense, because the longer you're in thejob, the more people don't want you to be in the job, so is all part of the job that we have.

let's bring you up to speed on the tennis now — and mixed fortunes for the brits in action at indian wells in california. it's one of the biggest tournaments outside the four majors. britain's dan evans and defending men's champion cameron norrie both go for a place in the last 16 later this evening, but overnight andy murray and emma raducanu were knocked out. it was a better day, though, for britain's number three harriet dart, who's now one match from the quarterfinals, as russell fuller explains. harriet dart has not won five matches at indian wells, having come through qualifying, and will very likely take her place in the top 100 in the world when the rankings are next released today, which is a lifelong ambition of a career long addition —— has now won. she played well to beat her opponent. she won the streets as i now have the chance to play madison keys, who was a semifinalist at the australian open, and she told me afterwards she never feels she has anything to lose the

and you have to remember, almost forget about her as the champion of the us open and as a 19—year—old going on tour. yes the us open and as a 19-year-old going on tour-— going on tour. yes indeed, and dan evans going — going on tour. yes indeed, and dan evans going op _ going on tour. yes indeed, and dan evans going up against _ going on tour. yes indeed, and dan evans going up against rafe - going on tour. yes indeed, and dan evans going up against rafe on i evans going up against rafe on a doll. any chance of him progressing? but he has beaten nadal in 2022. his last opponent... dan evans has played nadal twice before, has not managed to beat him so far, but he treats the upset today, he will be the first player to beat nadal, who has won his first 16 matches of the season. , , ., ~ has won his first 16 matches of the season. ,, ., ~ i. season. russell fuller, thank you very much — season. russell fuller, thank you very much indeed. _ we will see if that happens. the delayed players championship in florida is into its final round. it should have been all done and dusted by now, but it's due to finish later tonight, after massive storms postponed play over the weekend. england's paul casey is among the

front runners. he is on eight under. knox and shane lowry are up there as well. he was universally called the goat following his retirement from american football. but after all those tributes, proclaiming him to be the "greatest of all time", tom brady has announced he's coming back to the nfl, just six weeks after calling it a day with the tampa bay bucs. brady won the super bowl seven times, the majority of them with the new england patriots. so what's prompted this u—turn? and can brady continue to deliver on the big stage? nesta mcgregor reports. when it comes to american football, there is not a record worth having that does not belong to tom brady. he has the most super bowl wins, seven. he has played 22 years in a league where the average career last for three. and nobody has thrown more touchdown passes than him. a0

days ago, tom brady retired with all those accolades so it was a surprise to most when he tweeted he had unfinished business with the nfl. tom brady is a megastar on and off the field, and it looked like the plan was to spend more time with his family. that included a trip to old trafford with his kids, where he saw another veteran star, christiana ronaldo, scurry hat—trick at the age of 37. perhaps that helped with the u—turn. and for brady, it has always been about winning. u-turn. and for brady, it has always been about winning.— been about winning. every year is amazin: , been about winning. every year is amazing. and _ been about winning. every year is amazing, and this _ been about winning. every year is amazing, and this team _ been about winning. every year is amazing, and this team is - been about winning. every year is amazing, and this team is world i amazing, and this team is world champions forever. you can't take it away from us, so thank you, guys. brady's return will galvanise the league, his team—mates and fans around the world. it is league, his team-mates and fans around the world. if you split his 22 year career into two, _ if you split his 22 year career into two. he _ if you split his 22 year career into two. he has — if you split his 22 year career into two, he has two hall of fame careers _ two, he has two hall of fame careers. _, ., ., .,

and i was grant shapps. ok, in a moment, we are but to be catching up with all the weather at the bbc weather centre, and that is coming to us from tomasz schafernaker. the weather has been quite mixed across the country today. certainly rain around, but sunshine too full of the rain is clearing from the north sea. the skies are clearing. the winds are light. and it promises to be a pretty chilly. now, in towns and cities, we're talking around 2—3 degrees above freezing. outside of town, freezing or below. now, a weather front is approaching the north west of the uk, so a little bit milder there in stornoway, four degrees. but that spell cloud and rain from morning onwards, and we anticipate the rain to very slowly move eastwards through the morning and into the afternoon. so, probably by lunchtime, onlyjust about engulfing the whole of western scotland and also part

of northern ireland. elsewhere, to the east and to the south, it'll be drier and brighter. sunny, in fact, across east anglia and the south east, with temperatures up to around 16 degrees. now, wednesday's going to be a wet day, but end of the week is looking dry.
