is zis in that is in the midlands in walsall and it was taken in the last 2a hours. it is really nippy, in parts of scotland it is minus seven or eight. what will happen through the night is temperatures across north western parts will rise as we see milder air shifting in off the atlantic. these are temperatures around 6am, widely below freezing in england and wales. in western scotland and northern ireland temperatures lifting through the course of the night. that is because the winds are coming in from the south here. there is a weather front, cloud and some rain, some snow initially across the scottish highlands. but tomorrow afternoon, that contrast, western areas eight or nine or maybe 10 degrees. in the midlands around four degrees. we have high pressure extending from the azores across europe into

russia. but we are on the edge of high pressure and the front affecting person parts of uk during the course of sunday and that big temperature contrast. so pushing 10 degrees around the western fringes of country. but further to the east, three degrees and there could be some fog around in the morning as well. so it may not be three, but closer to zero through the course of the afternoon on sunday. so a raw sunday for some of us. the high pressure still with us on monday. but fronts close by to the north of the uk. i think the temperatures will slowly start to creep up as we go through the course of the week next week. the weather will be variable. generally it is going to be bright. so a nippy weekend for most of us this weekend. warming up next week a — most of us this weekend. warming up next week a bit. _ most of us this weekend. warming up next week a bit. thanks. _ 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 lizzie greenwood—hughes, here' a quick look at what we have coming—up on tonight's show. it's melbourne no more for norrie — as britain's number one is knocked—out of the australian open. the pressure's mounting on moyes and lampard at the bottom of the premier league — we look ahead to tomorrow's crunch match between west ham and everton. and after an ugly build up, chris eubankjunior let's his armband do the talking as he faces—up to liam smith. yesterday was about the lowest in the most out—of—control conference i've ever been at. also coming—up in the programme. what's the problem with

women and motorsport? we hear from some of the few who are �*in' to get their side of the story. welcome to the programme then and we're starting with tennis — no epic encounters in melbourne for you this time — andy murray has had the day off, but there was plenty of action including disappointment for britain's number one — cam norrie. he's been knocked—out in the third round. our correspondent andy swiss rounds—up the action from the australian open. another british man, anotherfive setter but this time, a different result. after andy murray's marathon, norrie was hoping for something similar but after taking a set lead, the signs are promising.

but from there, his 21—year—old czechoslovakian opponent played the match of his life and on the last week, he lost to norrie in oakland. and he clearly learned his lesson as he reeled off the next two sets and with the victory, lehecka through for the very first time, he played better than me he was norrie's simple assessment but he feels this was a missed opportunity. the highest seat left his safety through. he was up against the netherland player and he was soon showing his touch. tsitsipas was still yet to win a grand slam title but on this form, he will fancy his chances. through in straight sets, you now face the 15th seed. and the women's singles, she hopes and she is still very much on track as she

breezed past the spanish player. victory in a mere 55 minutes, she may take some stopping. well, one of the other big stories on day 5 at the australian open was danil medvedev. the two—time finalist and us open champion succombed to sebastien korda in straight sets. so to get more on that and norrie and murray — annabel croftjoined me earlier and i started off by asking her reaction to medvedev�*s early exit. it isa it is a big upset when someone was beenin it is a big upset when someone was been in the finals here twice in ranked number one in the world not too long ago goes under the big event like this but i have to be honest, his opponent was fantastic. he comes from a tennis pedigree and his father was in the finals here in australia many years back and his mum was a player and his two sisters and one was a former number one

golfer and he comes from a incredibly talented family. but playing his heart out, he brought every kind of tactic into this match and perfected it. i mean, it was perfect execution. it was a wonderful contest but korda really earned the victory, it wasn't what danil medvedev did but it was just how well korda played. tiara danil medvedev did but it was “ust how well korda played. two british men left cameron _ how well korda played. two british men left cameron of— how well korda played. two british men left cameron of going - how well korda played. two british men left cameron of going out - how well korda played. two british men left cameron of going out this morning and what is your reaction to the match and will come onto the controversy potentially later? norrie's opponent was a future star. he was very inexperienced but he has done well at a lower level but this is a big victory for him again, he took his tenants to norrie and brought some wonderful skills in the play was attacking him was aggressive and yet some moments where he was getting a little bit fragile and starting to think about things but he overcame that and forge through to the finish line and

again, is a big upset for him and let people expected norrie would go deepin let people expected norrie would go deep in his tournament but his opponent played really, really well. is the british number one and an incredible form all of last year in prison at the rankings and here he is expecting to beat this young player and loses in some peoples said that he may be too busy going into exhibitions and not necessarily preparing for the new season. he was asked about — preparing for the new season. he was asked about that _ preparing for the new season. he was asked about that and _ preparing for the new season. he was asked about that and certainly - asked about that and certainly played a lot of exhibitions and a lot of different places in the world and leading into the australian open and leading into the australian open and quite hard for players and a lot of them are complaining that seasons are too long and too tired and they want some rest time and preparations towards the australian first grand slam and if you get a lot of money put on the table, it is quite tempting for other players and you cannot really hold it against them because you know a lot of that money

can go towards training and also some other expenses on the professional tour but having said that, people felt may be it was just too much and he felt like he had peaked too early. and reaching the finals and playing the united cup, communion, you add to all the exhibitions, they really did not get too much off time from the city was good for him maybe today because he lived a little flat out there, he did get some treatment for a knee and maybe it wasjust did get some treatment for a knee and maybe it was just a did get some treatment for a knee and maybe it wasjust a bit did get some treatment for a knee and maybe it was just a bit too much. and maybe it was 'ust a bit too much. , , ., w' and maybe it was 'ust a bit too much. , , . a ., and maybe it was 'ust a bit too much. , . ., ., ~ , much. just a quick word on andy murra , much. just a quick word on andy murray. the _ much. just a quick word on andy murray, the two _ much. just a quick word on andy murray, the two last _ much. just a quick word on andy murray, the two last man - much. just a quick word on andy i murray, the two last man standing match for britain but we're discussing this yesterday after his epic match when he made it through to the third round, what kind of shape is the aim because he only has a little bit of a break before he plays again? i a little bit of a break before he plays again?— a little bit of a break before he -la sauain? j ., plays again? i don't think you got out of bed feeling _ plays again? i don't think you got out of bed feeling great - plays again? i don't think you got out of bed feeling great the - plays again? i don't think you got. out of bed feeling great the morning after potentially not having too much sleep i know his team wanted to

get them out of bed relatively early and i understand is that the courts eight hours later and that would've given him a full eight hours sleep and being scheduled early in the day, he probably wanted his body clock to be up and out and trying to get them prepared. it is ten hours that he's played on the court and i'm sure it's extremely exhausting and there is a lot of work going into get his body ready. he has been sitting in the ice bars, a lot of hydration going into his body, getting the food and it's talked a lot about how important sleep is and he would not have had too much of that let's see, he is such a warrior. it's got the biggest hard in the world out there it's almost like when i'm watching him, doesn't matter how much the body might be giving up but the heart is really pumping and bringing out all that passion onto the court. so let's not write them off too early.— write them off too early. plenty of discussion regarding _ write them off too early. plenty of discussion regarding the _ write them off too early. plenty of discussion regarding the leak - discussion regarding the leak finishes after the match, andy murray called it a forest saying...

—— farce. they said there's no need to change the schedule at this point saying that it was an epic match and we schedule a match like thatjust before 10pm in the evening, you're not expecting it to go close to six hours. of course, it didn't it was the longest match of his career. how does he recover before taking on well there's been plenty of discussion regarding the number of late finishes in melbourne. after the match andy murray called it "a farce" saying "i don't know who it's beneficial for" "it's not beneficial for the well despite plenty more criticism, tournament director — craig tiley said there's no need to change the schedule "at this point" saying "it was an epic match and when you schedule a match like thatjust before 10pm in the evening, you're not expecting it to go close on roberto bautista agut andf potentially another 5 set match? well i spoke to the lta's ian aylward

later this month, retaining his melbourne open title by beating japan's tokito oda in straight sets. let's move—on to football now and there's a huge game at the bottom of the premier league tomorrow when west ham, 18th in the table, host 19th—placed everton at the london stadium. neither team has won in the league since october, which means there's plenty of pressure on managers — david moyes and frank lampard. stuart pollitt looks ahead to it for us. at everton, the boos of been growing louder with every passing week. bud louder with every passing week. and it is auoin louder with every passing week. situc it is going the pressure louder with every passing week. fific it is going the pressure on him. louder with every passing week. and it is going the pressure on him. he l it is going the pressure on him. he has not been much happier at the hammers. ~ . , . has not been much happier at the hammers. ~ ., , ., ., has not been much happier at the hammers. ~ .,, ., ., ., hammers. was damn at the bottom three at the — hammers. was damn at the bottom three at the halfway _ hammers. was damn at the bottom three at the halfway stage - hammers. was damn at the bottom three at the halfway stage of - hammers. was damn at the bottom three at the halfway stage of the i three at the halfway stage of the season. ~ , ., three at the halfway stage of the season. . , ., �* , three at the halfway stage of the season. . , ., , ,, season. -- west ham. it's business, its professionalism _ season. -- west ham. it's business, its professionalism and _ season. -- west ham. it's business, its professionalism and so _ season. -- west ham. it's business, its professionalism and so it - season. -- west ham. it's business, its professionalism and so it can't . its professionalism and so it can't always— its professionalism and so it can't always be — its professionalism and so it can't always be nice. if the fight and be

in today's football news show. it all comes down to the fine details. chelsea made £89 million but because they signed in after deal essentially, chelsea can spread that cost of that period and give them flexibility in their accounting and exactly the same for ben whose contract runs until 2030. it can be a bit of a gamble and stroke of focus with josie a bit of a gamble and stroke of focus withjosie currently a bit of a gamble and stroke of focus with josie currently ten points off the champions league places, some of the could be worth a gamble and stroke of focus with josie currently ten points off the champions league places, some of the could be rob wilson told us earlier on that could have a knock on effect. if on that could have a knock on effect. , ., on that could have a knock on effect. i. ., ., , ., ., effect. if you cannot afford to pay our effect. if you cannot afford to pay your contract _ effect. if you cannot afford to pay your contract value _ effect. if you cannot afford to pay your contract value and _ effect. if you cannot afford to pay your contract value and you - your contract value and you feel like you're going to breach it, two things happen, if dropped on the value of the player contract and the negotiation and that's selling them.
