the winter watcher pictures. the winter wonderland. here is onejust to watcher pictures. the winter wonderland. here is one just to the northwest of glasgow. we had the amber warning from the met office which has expired. let's talk about the thawing. it is looming and i say that because it could become troublesome. out to the southwest there is this bulging area of mild air sweeping there is this bulging area of mild airsweeping in there is this bulging area of mild air sweeping in over the weekend. wave that will come weather fronts. mild air, really mild air, it will deflect the cold frigid air that has been over us for quite some time. out towards eastern parts of europe. let's concentrate on now. we've got snow showers across parts of scotland and went to re around the coast. southern cumbria will be in for a dose of wintry weather perhaps parts of wales as well. here are the temperatures. these are the inner city temperatures. “4, —5. the southeast will be coldest down to minus seven degrees. tomorrow, we will see showers around coastal areas of wales. in land, across the

hills, there will be some snow. peak district as well. wintry showers across scotland. look at the temperatures, they are starting to rise. plymouth, 8 degrees. that is a sign of things to come over the weekend. here is the map for sunday. a lot of isobars and that means gale force winds. here comes the rain. in the morning, it could be quite icy because there will be a lot of cold air across the country, even the risk of freezing rain and some hills to know for sure. this is what it will look like early in the morning. this is the snow that will come into parts of wales. parts of scotland. but i think the winds will really be strong and will push in the mild air, so by the time we get to the second half of the day, it will be much milder. double figures in plymouth. three degrees in scotland and look at this, monday morning, that almost looks tropical. i exaggerated a little bit, but you know what i mean. i will keep my shorts in the drawer, thank you.

you can of course keep up with all the latest developments on the bbc website, but the news continues here on bbc one, as wejoin our colleagues across the nations and regions for the news where you are. have a very good evening. hello there, i'm olly foster. we are live in qatar at the world cup. here's what's coming up on sportsday: there's another bold claim by the fifa president, is this tournament really the best ever? the final should be something special, but france have been dealing with sickness in the camp that has affected 5 players. and i'm sarah mulkerrins at the bbc sport centre. also coming up in the programme. a route back to top flight rugby union for wasps, but uncertainty over the future of worcester — as the rfu have their say on their proposed takeovers.

and rehan ahmed is set for cricketing history, as the 18—year—old is set to become england men's youngest test player. here we are going into the final weekend of the world cup, it was a month ago on the eve of this tournament that the fifa president gave that extraordinary soliloquy to the world's media, his eye feel gay, i feel qatari, the world's media, his eye feel gay, ifeel qatari, ifeel the world's media, his eye feel gay, i feel qatari, i feel disabled, i feel migrant worker speech. he touched on some of thoseissues worker speech. he touched on some of those issues today, he was asked about how welcoming this tournament

who come to the stadium and all of those billions of fans who are watching the world cup on tv, maybe everyone have their own problems, everyone have their own problems, everyone have their own problems, theyjust everyone have their own problems, they just want to spend 90 everyone have their own problems, theyjust want to spend 90 minutes or now 100 minutes or 105 minutes without having to think about anything else than just enjoying a little moment of pleasure and of joy, little moment of pleasure and of joy, or at little moment of pleasure and of joy, orat least little moment of pleasure and of joy, or at least of emotion because if you lose your not very happy. that is what we have to do, we have to give to all of these people a moment of time in the life, when they can forget about their own problems and enjoyable. our sports editor dan roan, was at that news conference. i'm not sure what you're made of it, wejust heard from i'm not sure what you're made of it, we just heard from there talking about hasn't it been fantastic that we have been able to concentrate on

and before they take the short hop on the metro to lusail, the souk waqif here in doha is the place to be. wanting tickets and before they argentina has some great football players,... argentina has some great football -la ers,... , ., argentina has some great football players...-_ as i argentina has some great football players.---_ as a i players,... very solid team. as a football lover, _ players,... very solid team. as a football lover, i— players,... very solid team. as a football lover, i would _ players,... very solid team. as a football lover, i would love - players,... very solid team. as a | football lover, i would love messi to win _ football lover, i would love messi to win something with his national team _ to win something with his national team as _ to win something with his national team as a — to win something with his national team as a french supporter i need to -et team as a french supporter i need to getiust_ team as a french supporter i need to getjust right you team as a french supporter i need to getjust righ— getjust right you can hear that on ipla er getjust right you can hear that on iplayer and _ getjust right you can hear that on iplayer and also _ getjust right you can hear that on iplayer and also tens _ getjust right you can hear that on iplayer and also tens of _ getjust right you can hear that on| iplayer and also tens of thousands of moroccan fans, the french were outnumbered in that semifinal as well and they are still here in their tens of thousands, morocco,

because the team is still here, it's the match that nobody wants to play, the match that nobody wants to play, the third fourth play—off, it will be here, morocco against croatia. you just feel that morocco will be going all out for this one, they have already broken new ground. they are desperate to take a bronze medal away with them from here after all of their upsets that they have caused in qatar. i think it's a good match to play, because it's something that never has happened for an african team in a world cup. after the lose of france, of course we are disappointed, like i said we played well, we reached the semifinals of the world cup, so after the game a day later we could be happy. i proud.

and sinisa mihalovic, who played for yugoslavia at the 1998 world cup, has died at the age of 53. he'd been battling leukaemia. the serbian won the european cup as a player with red star belgrade and also claimed serie a titles with lazio and inter milan before going on to manage ac milan. he has died at the age of 53, that is it for now from qatar, when we come back we will be getting the thoughts of gary lineker as we look ahead to that world cup final on sunday. let's head back to the bbc sports centre and the rest of the sports centre and the rest of the sports news. studio: thank you very much, let's start with the news about the future of two rugby union clubs, wasps and worcester. today, the rfu confirmed that wasps will take their place in the championship next year, offering a way back to the top of the game. this after their new

takeover was approved — but the news for wasps, was not so good. as laura scott explained to me. the rfu haven't been satisfied by the business plan that has been provided by the atlas consortium that were trying to buy worcester warriors, they said they haven't seen sufficient evidence of funding and they are concerned about the risks involved in going through without bid. so they have rejected that one which means that worcester warriors wouldn't in the championship next season. what that means for worcester warriors is incredibly uncertain because the rfu don't wantjim o'toole and his consortium to be able to buy the club if there isn't going to be professional rugby there, so they are urging the administrators to welcome alternative bids that would see elite rugby return.— see elite rugby return. slightly better news — see elite rugby return. slightly better news for _ see elite rugby return. slightly better news for wasps - see elite rugby return. slightly better news for wasps fans, i see elite rugby return. slightly - better news for wasps fans, because that takeover was approved. want we know about that takeover? irate

that takeover was approved. want we know about that takeover?— know about that takeover? we have learned a bit — know about that takeover? we have learned a bit more _ know about that takeover? we have learned a bit more today _ know about that takeover? we have learned a bit more today about - know about that takeover? we have learned a bit more today about who| learned a bit more today about who it is that has been behind this bid for wasps. the administrators are selected at their preferred bidder in recent months and then they put that forward to the rfu and we now know that it is christopher holland, a formative executive director, he will be accompanied by andy scott who is a former chief executive of 188 beds and interim executive of the wasps legends charitable foundation. we know there are also players involved in the takeover. they say they are delighted that the takeover bid has been accepted by the rfu and they will be back in the championship from next season. so certainly some better news or wasps today. one other line of rugby news — the rfu has selected eight clubs instead of ten to participate in the premier 15s for next season. following a tender process, four northern teams currently involved in the women's rugby competition have been left out, with no place for wasps, worcester,

sale, and darlington mowden park sharks. leicester are set to become the latest men's premiership club to field a side, with ealing also offered a place in the league. history will be made tomorrow in karachi, when rehan ahmed will become the youngest man to play test cricket for england the 18—year—old leg spinner has been handed a debut for the third test against pakistan, with england having already wrapped up the series win. ahmed and wicketkeeper ben foakes coming into the side in place of pace bowlerjames anderson and all—rounder willjacks. and he breaks the record of legendary yorkshire batter brian close, which has stood since i949. ijust i just really excited ijust really excited to see what he has got the ball and it was a lot to take wickets with the ball, may smack it with a bat in the field and chase after the ball until we go. but he was very excited when we told

him he was making his debut and it's almost like it puts a smile on my face telling the lads who were making a debut to see them so excited, because i remember being that young kid being told i was going to make my tester debbie. —— mag test debbie u. now to another cricketing record — the lowest score in men's t20 history. sydney thunder were dismissed for 15, as they were hammered by adelaide strikers in the big bash league in australia. sanny rudravajala has the story. we use to fireworks from australia's big bash league. the sydney showground would be something historic. sydney thunder is's stand would last the 2a and its, matthew gilks setting the tone out for zero and that will be one of not to with england's alex hales being the fourth wicket full or even four but five ducks as the thunder set about chasing down another opponent because my school but seemingly

jokey�*s 2019 record of 21 runs for an all—time low. a new meaning to getting your ducks in a row. by the time the number ten batterfinally found some luck, top scoring with for this contest had well and truly kicked the bucket. as he fell, sydney thunder road themselves into every christmas pub quiz and record book and going, the western men's's t20 score of all time gone for 15. elsewhere, englishjoe clark hit his first big bad century, scoring 101 as melbourne stars beat the hurricanes, but it is sydney's sugar that will grab the headlines. now to news today that scotland women's national football team are taking legal action against the scottish fa, in a fight over equal pay and conditions. this escalation has come after talks broke down between the parties. the squad are now ready to take their case to an employment tribunal. chris mclaughlin has this report.

the pride, the passion, the ups and the downs, scotland's women have given the country all of the above in recent years. just like the men. but this group say that is where the similarities end and in a fight for equality, off the field, they say they are taking those in charge to a tribunal. their dispute with the scottish fa covers a variety of areas, they want an equal share of cash that comes from petitions and games. they want the same training facilities and resources as the men. and, when playing away from home, they want parity in travel and hotels. , ., . ., , hotels. there is a continuing list of examples _ hotels. there is a continuing list of examples that _ hotels. there is a continuing list of examples that i _ hotels. there is a continuing list of examples that i think - hotels. there is a continuing list of examples that i think reflect. hotels. there is a continuing list i of examples that i think reflect the culture and reflected the way that women's national team have been treated over the years. the women's nationalteam have been treated over the years.— treated over the years. the high oint of treated over the years. the high point of this _ treated over the years. the high point of this group _ treated over the years. the high point of this group was - treated over the years. the high point of this group was world i treated over the years. the high l point of this group was world cup participation in 2019. players became heroes to those who thought

while women's super league leaders chelsea are in action right now, they need a point from their tie against albanian side villaznia to make the last eight. chelsea leading to zero. you can follow that on the bbc sport website. —— two — zero. let's have a quick look at some of the other stories making the sports news today... republic of ireland women's manager vera pauw says allegations she body shamed players in the usa in 2018 are "false" and "an insult to my personal values". a report on misconduct in the us national women's soccer league said pauw, then at houston dash, "shamed players for their weight" and "attempted to exert excessive control over eating habits". emma raducanu has appointed sebastian sachs as her new coach. the 30—year—old german guided belinda bencic to olympic gold last year. he is in abu dhabi with raducanu, who is set to play an exhibition match against wimbledon runner—up ons jabeur later. great britain's men made

it two wins from two in the fih pro hockey league, as they beat hosts argentina in a shoot—out. they saw off the netherlands in their first game. earlier, gb women lost to argentina. they were beaten by the netherlands on tuesday. that is it from me, let's get back to leave lee foster who is in qatar. many thanks. here we are on the eve of the final weekend at the world cup. the group stage hasjust of the final weekend at the world cup. the group stage has just seen an absolute age ago, remember wales, finishing bottom of england's are on just the one point, desperately poor performance from them after such a long wait to make it back to a world cup. their head coach has been speaking today, reflecting on their performance, for their very short stay here in qatar. ~ ., ., , for their very short stay here in qatar. . . ., , ., qatar. we have a little bit of disappointment, _ qatar. we have a little bit of
