time for a look at the weather. here's ben rich. spring is on hold. in fact, it is cold enough out there right now for some of us to be seeing some snow. this was the scene earlier on for a weather watcher in west yorkshire, with a band of rain, sleet and snow pushing south and ahead of its heavy downpours of rain. behind it, wintry showers, but this band of rain, sleet and snow give some forecasting headaches overnight. much of what fall at low levels will be rain but some sleet and snow over high ground, and possibly some wintry weather getting down to quite low levels. certainly it will be turning cold, temperatures down to “4 or —5 in parts of scotland and northern ireland. ice could be an issue tomorrow morning in eastern scotland and north—east england and we will see some sunshine and wintry showers. a mix of sleet and snow in

many places, particularly wintry on higher ground. some rain, sleet and snow could come back to the south—east of england, where it will be windy, with gusts around some coasts of a0 to 50 mph. that will exacerbate the cold feel to the weather, with temperatures that best between six and ten. really chilly tomorrow put up a chilly night tomorrow, with further wintry showers. the blue shade spreading across the chart, and even the big towns and cities will be below freezing for top northern scotland could get down to —7. friday, a cold start and another day of sunny spells and wintry showers. some more general rain, sleet and snow could fringe into western scotland and northern ireland, and those temperatures could be a bit higher, six to ii. temperatures continue to rise a touch as we head into the weekend, but certainly not a heatwave. some dry weather, just one or two showers. that's all from the bbc news at six, so it's goodbye from me.

0n bbc one, we nowjoin the bbc�*s news teams where you are. hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm gavin ramjaun. fifa investigates, after lasers are aimed at mo salah — as trouble marrs the african world cup playoffs. it was meant to be a friendly — but england's players and the manager slam fans at wembley booing harry maguire. and former cricketers, family and celebrities pay tribute to shane warne, at an emotional memorial service in melbourne. also coming up in the programme. he could not be playing at the masters, could he? he could not be playing at the masters, could he?

hello there and welcome along to sportsday. the fallout following african qualification for the world cup continues. five sides sealed their spots after winning their playoffs. but there was trouble in senegal — where fifa are looking into lasers being shone at egypt and liverpool forward mo salah — aswell as fans storming the field following nigeria's exit against ghana. patrick geary reports. penalty taking is tough enough without this. those are lasers being shown from the crowd in senegal. we cannot know what part they played in what happened next. he cannot know what part they played in what happened next.— what happened next. he has missed it! quite make _ what happened next. he has missed it! quite make the _ what happened next. he has missed it! quite make the erasers _ what happened next. he has missedj it! quite make the erasers remained trained on egypt's takers right up until senegal made it to the world cup. fifa say they are investigating what happened. the senegalese

rile up the fan so why did they not make an announcement to stop shooting laser pens otherwise their team would be sanctioned? that is one proactive decision the referee could have made to curb some of what happened. we could have made to curb some of what ha ened. ~ could have made to curb some of what ha- -ened. ~ ., happened. we saw some of the ictures happened. we saw some of the pictures that — happened. we saw some of the pictures that the _ happened. we saw some of the pictures that the egyptian - happened. we saw some of the pictures that the egyptian thatl happened. we saw some of the - pictures that the egyptian that they are claiming that their bus was too. what are the repercussions after all of this? we what are the repercussions after all of this? ~ ~' ., ., ~ a .,f of this? we knew around kick-off time the egyptian _ of this? we knew around kick-off time the egyptian national - of this? we knew around kick-off time the egyptian national teaml of this? we knew around kick-off. time the egyptian national team and putting a request for delayed kick—off because they said that traffic surrounding the stadium was really bad and the pictures you mentioned were published. we saw a staff member holding up a and he believes the rock was thrown at the bus. all that has to be confirmed. we saw statements from the egyptian federation. they said they do not expect the match to be replayed however they could be further sanctions for senegal. perhaps they will not be able to host a match at home and they will face a stiff fine. unpleasant scenes there at the

end. all of those fans on the pitch. nigeria failing to make it through to the world cup finals. what you think is the consequence of that, too? it will be huge. there will be ramifications throughout the federation. they're submitted a apology. this is a young team with a lot of talent. 0n apology. this is a young team with a lot of talent. on paper they should have gone through but it never materialised. what is for certain is there was not enough security. it was easy to get onto the pitch and even into the stadium. they're going to have to do a review of everything. to have to do a review of everything-— to have to do a review of eve hina.~ . ., ~ to have to do a review of eve hin_ . ., ., ~' ., everything. what was it like down there? at that — everything. what was it like down there? at that like _ everything. what was it like down there? at that like was _ everything. what was it like down there? at that like was hostile? l there? at that like was hostile? exactly. as nigeria failed to score a second goal we saw it spill onto the pitch. they further vegetated

their supporters and they ended up clashing with police. it is believed to be according to reports separated from violence. tragic consequences that happened so that is not really the picture that we want the world to see of african football.- to see of african football. thank ou. england and the rest of the home nations were in action too. england beat ivory coast in a friendly at wembley. but manager gareth southgate, aswell as the players, criticised a section of the fans who booed defender harry maguire before kick off. maguire's a man under pressure after his performances with club side manchester united this season. with a round up of that match and the world cup qualifying play—offs in europe, joe lynsky reports. ahead of kick—off at wembley, england's team is read to the crowd.

for one player, there were boos. not clear on tv coverage but inside they called it loud. his name wasjeered by a small group of fans. it was just a friendly. it was just a minority. but for england's manager, it hurt. t minority. but for england's manager, it hurt. ., , minority. but for england's manager, it hurt. . , ., ., , ., it hurt. i am very aware it is not everybody _ it hurt. i am very aware it is not everybody but _ it hurt. i am very aware it is not everybody but we _ it hurt. i am very aware it is not everybody but we are _ it hurt. i am very aware it is not everybody but we are either- it hurt. i am very aware it is not everybody but we are either all| it hurt. i am very aware it is not i everybody but we are either all in this together or we are not and don't think for one minute the other players will not be looking at that and thinking, that could be me one day. that has been one of the problems. players have thought, do i want to go? because when it turns a little bit difficult, then the crowd are going to turn on me. so how is that going to benefit anybody i really don't understand. england's ca tain really don't understand. england's captain said _ really don't understand. england's captain said it _ really don't understand. england's captain said it was _ really don't understand. england's captain said it was a _ really don't understand. england's captain said it was a setback. - really don't understand. england's captain said it was a setback. it i captain said it was a setback. it was called an embarrassment and nonsense. he has been england's

for them in qatar. poland beat sweden 2— 02 knockout aao—year—old. ronaldo will be there. his portugal side face north the team who beat italy. but now fell well short. fernandes scored twice and portugal went through. they have not missed the world cup since 1998. for rinaldo, it will be his fifth and perhaps his last chance on football's greater stage. perhaps his last chance on football's greater stage. we're under way in tonight's women's champions league quarter finals. it's the second leg ties — and we're expecting a record crowd at the camp nou — where it's half time in the women's el classico between barcelona and real madrid. tomorrow night, the only english side left, arsenal, take on wolfsburg. where it's finely poised at 1—1. 0ur reporter emma sanders joins me in the studio. more on arsenal in a moment but what's the latest

in the el classico? it isa it is a draw at the moment. barcelona had the lead. they are expected to win and they're the huge favourites in the competition and they are the holders who won the treble last season to you would expect them to pull away at some point. the first goal was a bit of a screamer. an attempted cross. yeah, real madrid is putting up a bit of a fight. they will be hoping to pull away. white might look people are there. it really says a lot for how popular the game is in spain and a lot of people are watching on streams around the world. they were hoping for a record attendance of up to 90,000 at the game tonight which would be huge. then on the average 3000 at home games so there is plenty of atmosphere pre—match. a lot of people out and about and as the real madrid team came out there were boos for their arch rivals so it has been a really great atmosphere so far.

it has been a really great atmoshere so far. ~ ., ., ~' it has been a really great atmoshere so far. ~ ., atmosphere so far. when we look at the arsenal — atmosphere so far. when we look at the arsenal game, _ atmosphere so far. when we look at the arsenal game, with _ atmosphere so far. when we look at the arsenal game, with that - atmosphere so far. when we look at the arsenal game, with that of i atmosphere so far. when we look at the arsenal game, with that of the l the arsenal game, with that of the lead leaders. what are the chances in this match? you might tough for arsenal. they are veterans at this stage in the competition. it is really tough for arsenal but they did draw in the first leg so they have a good chance. they got some quality players and they're having a good season so they will be quite confident that they may be able to make an upset. 0ne all draw in the first leg. to get through this time around they will need win in germany so how would they think about that? they could play in front of a hostile home crowd. they are expecting around 11,000 so that'll be another big occasion but those players, there are internationals and are used to playing in hostile grounds and in front of big attendances so i think they will still be quite confident. tt

iama i am a little bit worried this will affect the thoroughness of the competition. i believe that may be the situation we have now with the rules is probably not enough. clearly this is something we must put in the agenda. clearly this is something we must put in the agenda. let's have a quick look at some of the other stories making headlines today. naomi 0saka cruised into the semi—finals of the miami 0pen, with another straight—sets win — she dropped just three games in her victory over danielle collins — 0saka will face the olympic champion belinda bencic next. some of cycling's biggest names have been riding in the dwars door vlaanderen — the final test before the tour of flanders — and dutchman mathieu van der poel coped best with the cobbles, beating out thees benoot in a sprint finish, with britain's tom pidcock finishing third. and jockey robbie dunne's ban from horse racing has been reduced from 18 months to 10, following an appeal.

he was suspended in december after being found guilty of "bullying and harassing" fellow jockey bryony frost. one of cricket's greatest players shane warne, was honoured today in a state memorial. the record—breaking leg spinner died three weeks ago of a suspected heart attack, at the age ofjust 52. at the melbourne cricket ground, his sporting home, more than 50—thousand people paid tribute — among them, many of his former team—mates and rivals. there were speeches from warne's family and some of the biggest names in sport and entertainment, with music from a host of stars including sir elton john and ed sheeran. the memorial ended with the unveiling of the newly renamed shane warne stand. his generosity and loyalty, which new no bounds and the joy he brought to so many people around the way will forever bring us comfort. his typical humble manner, the aussie

next fall. they have got to the semifinals and now have a huge opportunity that they can beat south africa, of making it through to the final once again on sunday. the england skipper knows that the side, while improving, still have work to do. i'd backfill us to enter been quite cathartic, to be honest, easy wins. a few boxes ticked and a few people moving in the right direction and i still think we can get better. i still think there are things we can do and on thursday, we can make it that file i will be very happy. you are part of that side that beat south africa in the semifinal. the semifinals are horrible things because you are so close to that price but you know there is this massive obstacle. it is not an easy game. england versus south africa. england have a point to prove. 0bviously wanted to get through to the world cup final. we thought england were out of this tournament. they are bounced back and won every

single game since then and they've now out and play their best cricket to get through. how could an opponent are they? tt is to get through. how could an opponent are they? it is going to be a tou~h opponent are they? it is going to be a tough game. _ opponent are they? it is going to be a tough game, nailbiter. _ opponent are they? it is going to be a tough game, nailbiter. we - opponent are they? it is going to be a tough game, nailbiter. we have i opponent are they? it is going to be i a tough game, nailbiter. we have had so many nail biters and we cannot expect this to be an easy game for either side. expect this to be an easy game for eitherside. england have expect this to be an easy game for either side. england have got the strongest attack. it could go either way and to hold their nerve for the longest will win the semifinal. christchurch is the venue. england against south africa, he willjoin australia in the final on sunday? and australia are absolutely at the top of their game. they demolised west indies by 157 runs in wellington. alyssa healy hit a magnificent 129, as australia posted a huge score of 305 for 3. and they were just as dominant with the ball — beth mooney taking an outrageous catch, to dismiss rashada

williams, as they bowled out their opponents for 1a8. the president of cycling's world governing body, here's what's got the golfing world talking — tiger woods has played a practice round at augusta, prompting speculation he'll return to action at the masters next week. the former world number one has been recovering from leg injuries, suffered in a car crash 1a months ago. he walked 18 holes with his son charlie and fellow pro justin thomas, and a source said woods played every hole, and looked good. after the car accident he was lucky to survive. lucky to keep his right leg. if you imagine, when you press the accelerator, that is where he really broke his lower leg and ankle and this is something we hope to see on the golf world. i realistically thought it might be back for the open championship in the summer but then the entry list came out for the matter is that he had not taken as name of it so we all started talking

and then he flew for that practice round yesterday. he would not be going there if he did not think he was capable of being able to play all four rounds so he knows if he is ready. we don't but this is a very good sign that he will tee off next thursday. this man has had five back surgeries, multiple knee surgeries, this was his right leg. it was shattered bedridden for weeks, stroke months. he was on crutches, he teed off with his son in november, december, last year in and almost a charity type tournament. this was only two rounds of golf and he was on a golf cart. playing golf professional you will need to walk and play all four rounds so this is and play all four rounds so this is a significant move but going into the national to have a practice round, that is a real sign that he thinks it could be ready to play. what a comeback that could be. the

world of sports has grown enormously in terms of live streaming, marketing and prize money. enough to compete, among them is the world champion from east grinstead who now mixes with the f1 elite at red bull hq. we've been to meet him. he doesn't care. he is at the front of the field right now. you just got one more corner to go around. a world champion in action on a virtual circuit was that this is a 22—year—old competing on a global stage against the best sim racers in the series and he does not even have to leave his bedroom. you are ready there would not have it in my bedroom but i am a bit limited by space so i have to cram it into the corner of the room. most days it is just kind of wake up early, have some food and then get to practice. and it isjust some food and then get to practice. and it is just getting as much done as possible with out, try not to

burn out at the same time. how to get into it at a professional level? sebastien started karting at the age of 11 and had high hopes of becoming a real—world driver but it proved costly so we started racing virtually and in 2018 turn pro. he has been signed by red bull, the formula 1 giants by the reigning world champion max for who won the saudi arabian grand prix at the weekend. it is a dream come true for sebastian to be working under the same team put up thee sebastian to be working under the same team put up— sebastian to be working under the same team put up i've spoken to max a coule of same team put up i've spoken to max a couple of times _ same team put up i've spoken to max a couple of times not _ same team put up i've spoken to max a couple of times not actually - same team put up i've spoken to max a couple of times not actually in i a couple of times not actually in person but i spoke to him in chats so it is nice, it is nice to be involved with this kind of people. i try not to get too involved with it because you don't want to be getting too overwhelmed or anything like that. too overwhelmed or anything like that, ,, , ., too overwhelmed or anything like that, ,, ., , too overwhelmed or anything like that. ,, ., ., too overwhelmed or anything like that. ,, . ., ., that. sebastian is a former world cham - ion that. sebastian is a former world champion and — that. sebastian is a former world champion and a _ that. sebastian is a former world champion and a portia _ that. sebastian is a former world champion and a portia seversonl that. sebastian is a former world i champion and a portia severson has his eyes on the prize once again this season. you're sitting second

in the standings at halfway. also races in f1 e sports. the most followed sim racing series in the world. long—term, where do you see yourself? say about my goal is to raise feel cars but if you are a tradition transitioning, it is nice to stay on in sports because that remains everywhere come from and keeps you sharp and that is the main thing. for now, his world is virtual but he hotly tipped for success in the real one, too. zfrom us. we will see you next time. we have seen some snow across the
