tomorrow blue skies overnight means tomorrow again will start on a chilly note, with temperatures in rural areas close to freezing, and we could start with some pockets of mist and fog in northern ireland. they won't last long. more cloud in the far north of scotland but otherwise a day like today with lots of sunshine, light winds, some fair weather cloud here and there, not spoiling things, and typical temperatures will be 17 or 18, so warm for the time of year. a reminder, saturday night, sunday morning, the clocks spring forward an hour and we move into british summertime, and we start with high pressure keeping it quiet and dry. there is more cloud in the north sea, and that's getting dragged into the high pressure for the second half of the weekend. four eastern parts of england it might start rather dull and misty on sunday, and that cloud could extent through the midlands into east wales, and a lot of uncertainty about the extent of the club to top it could hang around in areas of the eastern coast of

england, picking the temperatures back to 13 or 1a, but many other areas should see some sunshine and it will be warm. after that it changes to the high pressure has kept it quiet and warm but that is no more. pressure will be pulling, so the chance of more cloud and rain and eventually we get a northerly wind, and that could even bring some snow in the north. that's all from the bbc news at six, so it's goodbye from me. on bbc one, we nowjoin the bbc�*s news teams where you are. hello, and welcome to sportsday. i'm gavin ramjaun. thanks for being with us. loved in wales, but seemingly loathed in madrid — gareth bale takes aim at the spanish media after sensationally putting

wales on the brink of the world cup. a shock for the euro 2020 champions italy — they miss out again, toppled by north macedonia. a stunning upset! what next for the italians. a fire breaks out affecting practice near the saudi arabian formula 1 circuit as authorities await news on how it started. all that, and more coming up in the programme — england gained a crucial wickets in their attempt to hold their first innings lead against the west indies. we'll be in edinburgh for the start of the women's six nations. can england can continue their formidable run against scotland? hello there, and welcome along to sportsday. lots to bring you this friday evening, and we start with that sensational win for wales. one more win for them,

and they qualify for a world cup tournament for the first time since 1958. all the talk very much centring around gareth bale, the captain and talisman for wales, who today launched an attack on the spanish press over flak he'd been receiving in the run—up to the match. matt graveling reports. 36 times he has bowls to the back of the net. ,., ., , _, ., 36 times he has bowls to the back of the net. , _, ., the net. good things come to those who wait and _ the net. good things come to those who wait and wales _ the net. good things come to those who wait and wales had _ the net. good things come to those who wait and wales had been - the net. good things come to those i who wait and wales had been waiting for 64 years. it’s who wait and wales had been waiting for 64 yew-— who wait and wales had been waiting for 64 years._ but _ who wait and wales had been waiting for 64 years._ but now - for 64 years. it's bale! but now with a first _ for 64 years. it's bale! but now with a first world _ for 64 years. it's bale! but now with a first world cup _ for 64 years. it's bale! but now| with a first world cup since 1958 just one game away, the red wall are beginning to dream. and with bale back, anything is possible. already wales's leading scorer, here is number 38 for number 11. when you have somebody _ number 38 for number 11. when you have somebody like _ number 38 for number 11. when you have somebody like gareth - number 38 for number 11. when you have somebody like gareth and - number 38 for number 11. when you l have somebody like gareth and there were questions about whether he would _ were questions about whether he would be — were questions about whether he would be fit or not, even if he is 60 or— would be fit or not, even if he is 60 or 70%. _ would be fit or not, even if he is 60 or 70%, he would be fit or not, even if he is 60 or70%, he is would be fit or not, even if he is 60 or 70%, he is going to play because you know he can win games for you _ because you know he can win games for you and — because you know he can win games for you and he steps up to the

to the russian invasion of ukraine. former scotland striker ally mccoist thinks there should be no rush in scheduling the fixture. ukraine should be given absolutely every opportunity possible to field a team and play in the game, whenever, wherever they want. really, it's one of the things that clearly it's just scotland playing ukraine in the vast majority, if not all the world will want ukraine to win, even part of me wants ukraine to qualify for the world cup finals but however i think it is said to say it should be corrected they should be given every opportunity as we are all very aware, there are far greater issues in a world cup qualifier going on in the world right now but in all our thoughts are with people of ukraine. that goes without saying. well, another huge result from the qualifiers saw the european champions italy lose to north macedonia, a massive upset by all accounts as the italians fail to make the world cup for the second time running.

it's called into question boss roberto mancini's future. after that sensational summer last year, where they beat england in the final of the euros, where has it all gone wrong? patrick gearey has more. stoppage time in sicily, and a strike right to the heart of italian football. would you believe it? north macedonian pandemonium, and italy were winded. 32 shots, no goal. last year's european champions out of this year's world cup. translation: last summer, we had the most beautiful i and satisfying experience in my career. and right now, it's the biggest disappointment. it's difficult to speak about anything else in this moment, and it won't be easy in the next few days. i'm so sorry for the players, and i like them more tonight than last july. italy are the champions of europe! this was a little over eight months ago. "football's coming rome," they said.

italy beating england on penalties to conquer the continent. no—one foresaw this plummet from the summit. it happened because of a series of slips, missed chances across the qualifying campaign and right through last night's playoff. italy didn't lose a game in their qualifying group, but drew four. back home in rome, sympathy is short. "if we can't beat north macedonia," says this man, "we can't go to the world cup, simple as that." this woman says, "the euros was a nice interlude, but i also think in recent years, quality�*s been lacking." the words are no kinder in print. the italian press weren't impressed. "all�*inferno" — "to hell" — this headline reads. but perhaps roberto mancini has enough good deeds behind him to escapejudgment. the time might be right, though, for a spring clean. i think that mancini i will continue in the job. i i think he probablyjust about has. enough in the bank with what he did

at the european championship. there's got to be an overhaul in players, notjust_ as punishment for this failure, but because the cycle - reached an end. i think it's time tojust rip things up and start from scratch. - there's a lot of good there. italy win the world cup for the first time! believe it or not, that was the last time the italians won a knockout tie in a world cup, 2006. how soon they can return to the top is unclear. for this team of extremes, predictions are pointless. patrick gearey, bbc news. so, devastation, then, for the italians, but on the other side of the coin, elation for north macedonia, who are on the verge of history. they're ranked 67th in the world and have been rewarded with a playoff final against portugal. north macedonian football journalist igor aleksandrovich was at the game and thinks his country can now win that crucial tie on tuesday in porto and make a finals for the first time. ican i can say to him that igor is saying

that macedonia will... i already say on my show with the national coach three days before the game, my country, i say, three days before the game, my country, isay, i three days before the game, my country, i say, i already see the world papers and tv stations that he is retiring rinaldo up from the national team. is retiring rinaldo up from the nationalteam. so is retiring rinaldo up from the national team. so i am very close on that. we have now the game, 90 minutes. and you can catch up with more of today's football stories on the football news show, which is available on the bbc iplayer right now. well, england, thankfully perhaps for some fans, aren't involved in any playoff dramas. gareth southgate's side have already sealed their spot in qatar. they face switzerland tomorrow, who've also already qualified, in their first match of the year at wembley.

it's a friendly it's not too much riding on it. alex howelljoins me in the studio. southgate's been speaking today ahead of the game, and the question of how to handle qatar has come up again. it is come up again and again and all the way through the build—up of the qualifying campaign for england. this week, gareth southgate gave a briefing to the players about 30 minutes in length and gave them information they can pass around a research themselves about the pivotal issues and questions they might be asked about the cut heart world cup in the human rights record there. harry kane also spoke today and said this week he said he will speak to leaders in the changing room and other leaders at international level, so other captains across europe and in his own changing room, and jordan henderson actually said that today. i asked him during a press conference and he said he was going to speak to those leaders at liverpool, so virgil van dijk and andy robertson. and gareth southgate always said he would address this but once the team were qualified for qatar and now they are. these

conversations have been going on a lot longer than we might think. there is power with us being able to do things together or even with some of the other european nations or whatever that might look like. there are conversations going on in the background, so it would be wrong to say that we are pushing thanks to one side. frankly we're talking more about it than many other things, so i agree. i think the players have got a good voice and we should allow them to come up with their ideas, and if we can support that and help shape that, then we should also do that. interesting game with switzerland as they think you're around and look who will be playing where come the world cup at the end of the year but going forward, and glenn have a lot of questions answered but at the back it's not so straightforward. it's not so straightforward in this game is the first international break of this year, a world cup year. so although they are friendly, they are actually important build—up

matches. at the back, he has got trent alexander—arnold pulled out and reese james and luke shaw has not been playing for united. so he has brought us some new players but one of the biggest questions about this english squad is at centre back and it is talking about a lot with harry maguire not playing that well for united. i actually asked eric southgate in the press comes when he announced a squat about harry maguire and whether he had done enough to be in the squad and he said there was no question that he was not going to be in this england squad because he is one of the best in your backs that england half. however that have not stopped him inquiring on other players, he is called in ben white from arsenal who is on the euro squad last year and also the england u21 captain so there is lots going on. it's a world cup year but the one exciting thing for these players, he said anyone who is in the squad is in with a chance in being on the plane to qatar and at those world cup finals.

interesting to see if those call—outs play. thank you very much indeed, much appreciated. next to some concerning scenes in the grand prix there in saudi arabia. there was a fire at an oil depot and get to the scenes there. second practice was delayed by 50 minutes and the drivers were briefed. charlotte leclair led both practices and back for seven was second. a statement released in the last hour saying the grand prix will go ahead and schedule. the saudi motor authority so they are in touch with the relevant organisations and. . ..

what a start it was for mercedes driver george russell for his new team, finishing a fine fourth in the season opener in bahrain behind team—mate lewis hamilton. he's been taking a trip down memory lane with james burridge about his journey to f1 and his hopes of beating hamilton. this was george russell in 2009, racing in carts with dad, steeple an 11—year—old kid dreaming big. i ii—year—old kid dreaming big. i would like to get to formula 1, like most people would, in the future. and the ambition this year is to win former cart starts. it's incredible, i recall it like yesterday to be honest. and time isjust i recall it like yesterday to be honest. and time is just flying. when i was that age, i believed i could do anything. i put what i could fly to the moon and back and everything would work out for the

best. but it was only when i was a few years older, 15, 16 years old, i recognised the challenge that it would take to get to formula 1 and the dedication and sacrifices that were needed to succeed. home the dedication and sacrifices that were needed to succeed.- the dedication and sacrifices that were needed to succeed. now 13 years later and into — were needed to succeed. now 13 years later and into his _ were needed to succeed. now 13 years later and into his fourth _ were needed to succeed. now 13 years later and into his fourth season - were needed to succeed. now 13 years later and into his fourth season in i later and into his fourth season in formula 1, he is raising for one of the biggest beasts on the grid, mercedes, alongside his boyhood hero lewis hamilton.— lewis hamilton. there is a really strong mutual respect _ lewis hamilton. there is a really i strong mutual respect between us, and we both recognise that our fight is not with each other, as it may be in some other teams. everyone always says my team—mate is number one arrival but for us we both want to win at the moment we are not in a position to be able to win so need to work together and push in the same direction.— to work together and push in the same direction. , ., ., ., , , , same direction. george, what happens if ou same direction. george, what happens if you out-qualify _ same direction. george, what happens if you out-qualify him _ same direction. george, what happens if you out-qualify him or _ same direction. george, what happens if you out-qualify him or beat - same direction. george, what happens if you out-qualify him or beat him i if you out—qualify him or beat him in practice? will you be allowed to race in your own record we had to follow teen orders with my week

matches this season. and australia beat pakistan 1—0 in their first series in the country for nearly 25 years. nathan lyon took five wickets and captain pat cummins got the final one as his side claimed victory by 115 runs in the third test in lahore. england's bowlers are fighting back on day two of the deciding test against the west indies. the wendy's made a steady start reaching for feet without loss before ben stokes got the breakthrough. and then mahmood got into the act with a lbw here. and here is three wickets for chris woakes. 134—7 west indies, still 70 behind england's first innings total of 204. the women's six nations

gets going tomorrow, and kicking the tournament off are scotland and england for the opener in edinburgh. england are on one heck of a run at the moment. they've won the last 18 matches. for scotland, it's all about a "new energy" for them, according to their captain, as they look to cause an upset against the world's number one ranked side. we can head to edinburgh now and join our reporterjo currie, who's there for us. jo, as much as england are the heavy favourites, but scotland still come into the match on a high. they have qualified for the world cup later this year.— cup later this year. absolutely. both cup later this year. absolutely. idoth teams _ cup later this year. absolutely. both teams come _ cup later this year. absolutely. both teams come into - cup later this year. absolutely. both teams come into the i cup later this year. absolutely. - both teams come into the tournament with plenty to be happy about as we only thought less of a month ago the wonderful scenes where the scottish women finally qualify for the world cup in about six months nana new zealand. the first time that women team ever qualified for a world cup so they been talking by the fact they have finally get the monkey off their back and what it can really do for them in terms of the importance of this six nations tournament. as for england, they are very much on

top of the world right now literally. they are the number one rank side in the world. they battered the likes of new zealand twice during the autumn internationals. they have won the last 36 nations tournaments, and they have not now been beaten since july 2019. looking at possible and it's very much is a question of who if anyone can stop them at all? when it comes to this fixture, scotland versus england, there tends to only be one winner. england have not lost to scotland in this tournament in over 20 years but scotland it is a come of this fixture on a real high. over 4000 tickets have been sold at this fixture which would be a good cry for the scottish women but to will hear from the captains in a moment rachel malcolm the first he is the england captain sarah hunter. everyone is talking about scotland and how _ everyone is talking about scotland and how fantastic they have been in this last _ and how fantastic they have been in this last period qualify for the world — this last period qualify for the world cup on saturday and it's as much _ world cup on saturday and it's as much about us and we want to do for

sunshine and warmth just lately, hasn't it? but all that is set to change over the next few days. i've taken york as an example, but we are going to start to see the temperature trend from above average temperatures to below average temperatures for the time of year through the middle part of the week. so, you really will notice the difference. hopefully you can get out and enjoy the spring sunshine over the weekend. there'll be plenty of it on saturday. as you can see, some of us will see sunshine from dawn till dusk, with some thicker cloud in the far north of scotland, maybe the odd spot or two of light rain into the northern isles. there will be a little bit more of a brisk breeze, particularly running down through channel coasts, but also coming in off the north sea. so, here, those temperatures may be a little bit subdued in comparison to the last few days. sheltered western areas will see the best of the warmth, highs of 18 degrees. and don't forget, when you're off to bed saturday night into the early hours of sunday morning, we put the clocks forward. yes, it's the start of british summer time on sunday. so, we lose an hour in bed,

but hopefully we'll gain some daylight hours. as you can see, the high pressure is still with us. there could be a little bit of stubborn cloud drifting in off the north sea, though, on sunday, and that could be a bit of a nuisance across england and wales. a level of uncertainty how far west that cloud is going to feed in, but it could just suppress the temperatures a little bit here. so, the best of any warmth and sunshine is likely to be further west. underneath that cloud, we're likely to see temperatures down a degree or so in comparison to of late. but the high pressure still stays with us. we have got this little front on monday starting to move in from the far north—east, and that's just going to enhance the risk of some showers. so, first thing on monday, there's perhaps a greater chance of seeing more low cloud, some stubborn mist and fog in the morning. a few showers across north wales and northern england as well. to the north of that, it's going to start to turn a little bit cooler, 6—11 degrees. to the south of that, with some sunshine, we still keep some warmth. but the trend for this cooler feel arrives really from tuesday onwards

as the wind direction changes and it drives that colder air a little bit further south. so, as you can see, from tuesday into wednesday, starting to get noticeably cooler with some outbreaks of rain at times. take care.
