certainly have plenty of support. alexander mackenzie, bbc news, darvel. time for a look at the weather. here's tomasz schafernaker. it's been so cold over the last few days, particularly across southern parts of the uk but the good news is it is going to turn a little bit milder in the coming days. last night, rural parts of oxfordshire, minus nine celsius but i think from tomorrow onwards, those temperatures won't be quite so low and temperatures will be getting back to average over the next few days and i want to show you an example of some night—time temperatures across england as we head through the weekend and you can see a dip through the night, but as we head towards sunday or monday, generally above freezing. so the weather for tomorrow, a cold front moving across the country that will introduce a little bit of rain and it won't be an awful lot, but here are the temperatures first thing in the

morning and cloud conditions for glasgow, and the remnants of that frost still across the south. here is a cold front moving through northern england, into the midlands by the time you get to the afternoon, wales catching some spots of rain. the best sunshine tomorrow is across northern ireland, sunshine —— scotland, and the lake district enjoying fine weather and further south it will be cloudier and notice the rain reaches east anglia and the south—east in the evening and clear the kent coast by the time we get to around ten or iipm. the kent coast by the time we get to around ten or "pm. in this large area of high pressure, sort of mango shaped, it noses into the uk for thursday, which should be a nice day for many of us. a bit more a breeze on the north sea coast, maybe one or two showers, but on the whole a fine day for many of us. let's have a look at the outlook. those temperatures starting to rise into double figures across western areas of the uk, variable amounts of sunshine and we should be losing the shop frost. that's the weather. ——

sharp frost. thanks, tomasz. that's it. you can 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 great evening. hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm chetan pathak, coming up on tonight's programme. ten years after she won her last grand slam title — victoria azarenka reaches the semi finals of the australian open where the wimbledon champion awaits her. arguably the biggest shock in the history of the scottish cup — you'll hear from those in charge at darvel after their famous win over aberdeen. can southampton stop the rise of newcastle united — who'll be looking to end their long wait for a domestic trophy — we'll be at st mary's for the build

up to their league cup semi final. and also coming up on the programme before 7: record breaker mikaela shiffrin becomes the most successful woman in world cup alpine skiing history. the first tennis grand slam of the year may have lost many of its top seeds but there are no shortage of talking points. a decade ago victoria azarenka won the second of her titles in melbourne, a lots happened to her since then including becoming a mum. she's now into this year's semi finals. whilst in the men's draw — could stefanos tsitsipas be the answer to the question who can stop novak djokovic? dan ogunshakin reports:

it was at the australian open ten years ago where azarenka won her last grand slam title. herjourney back has been arduous and bald document but could this finally be her time again. her opponent pagula was this highest seed in the draw and although she had a moment this is the dominant display of the two—time open champion. azarenka upped the ante in the next set... herfirst finalfour appearance here is since her 2014 title. standing between azarenka and another title is wimbledon champion elena rybakina. she overpowered azarenka in straight sets with only rain delaying the process.

but neither weather nor the latvian tonight her on this occasion. the biggest threat to greek was greek. the third seat came close to hitting a ball kid as he closed in on victory. in error escape for both as the greek cruised into his third straight semifinal. players were required as he faced his opponent. the american who was a star of melbourne park battle briefly but after two seats and a break in the third was forced to call it quits. meanwhile britain's alfie hewett began his reign as men's wheelchair world number one with a commanding victory overjapan�*s daisuke arai in the singles. hewitt will meet his doubles partner gordon reid in the quarterfinals. reid beat tom egberink of the netherlands. this is what it means to pull off one of the biggest cup upsets in football. before last night you'd probably never heard of darvel. it's a small town in east ayrshire in scotland, around 25 miles south of glasgow.

but it's now firmly on the footballing map after its team who play in the sixth tier beat seven times scottish cup winners aberdeen. before the match darvel�*s manager was convinced his part time players could beat the scottish premiership side. have a listen to his teamtalk before kick off. people talk about underdogs i am telling you we are not under barks i don't believe that. i know what is in this changing room, what is in your hearts we can achieve it. we have got to be hungry, you've got to have got to be hungry, you've got to have desire in your belly. you've got to find the extra yard the extra oxygen. look to your brothers. look to your family. oxygen. look to your brothers. look to yourfamily. let's oxygen. look to your brothers. look to your family. let's look to the next round. let's go!— to your family. let's look to the next round. let's go! that team talk did the trick- — this was the winning goal. the hero will go down as goal scorerjordan kirkpatrick. he struck after less than 20 minutes sending the 2000 odd

spectators into delirium. darvel�*s recreation park ground was packed out for the match which was shown live on the bbc. it sets up a home tie with falkirk of the third tier for a place in the quarterfinals. an extraordinary story. one person riding high today as you'd expect is president of the clubjohn gall. i spoke to him a short while ago. i was expected, keeping the ball down the corner flag, just keep trying to wind a corner. you always expect them to come up and get that last—minute equaliser and lose it in extra time, but... i'm old enough to remember the beat of newcastle years and years ago. there have been big upsets in the scotch cup but this is one of the biggest. the whole

community, the whole size but we did last night i don't think it's sunken. but a couple said to me from darvel, you know something, i'm going to be really proud now darvel, you know something, i'm going to be really proud now when i going to be really proud now when i go abroad and someone else asked where do you come from i can say i can come from darvel and everyone will know where it comes from now. you are also an award meeting pie maker. the worlds best scotch pie title which is what you were defending at the world championship of scotch pies today. and luck in that? ., , ., ., , that? you will believe that i was run -- runner-up. _ that? you will believe that i was run -- runner-up. i— that? you will believe that i was run -- runner-up. i don't - that? you will believe that i was run -- runner-up. i don't think. that? you will believe that i was run -- runner-up. i don't think ij run —— runner—up. i don't think i handled the talk of scotch football in the top of the pyro so maybe it was a blessing.

—— pie world. everyone is a great memberjust like the football —— pie world. everyone is a great member just like the football team. i give them a surprise and i arrived at the airport. that is the close relationship that i have with each of them had that been plank tremendous football. he could see that last night, the touches and passes and moves and everything was superb from the goalie to the centre forward. darvel are unlikley to forget last night in a hurry. over in england newcastle united are hoping this is a memorable season too. 1955 was the last time they won a major domestic trophy. tonight they travel to southampton for the first leg of their carabao cup semi final. the home side knocked out manchester city in the last round remember. john murray is part of bbc radio five live's commentary team at st mary's.

all the better. honestly nottingham forest in the other semifinal in the tuesday night it's forest in the other semifinal in the tuesday night its will be the favourites to go through both of them... pressure there but i think they have shown the season how well they have shown the season how well they are able to cope with pressure this eddie howe newcastle team. what this eddie howe newcastle team. what is it about the — this eddie howe newcastle team. what is it about the job _ this eddie howe newcastle team. what is it about the job that eddie howe has done at newcastle that has impressed you most? i has done at newcastle that has impressed you most?— has done at newcastle that has impressed you most? i think the fact the have impressed you most? i think the fact they have done _ impressed you most? i think the fact they have done it _ impressed you most? i think the fact they have done it so _ impressed you most? i think the fact they have done it so quickly - they have done it so quickly and also the way that they have done in terms of the recruitment which has not been what i think many will have necessarily expected. big names, big money. dramatic and quick change. they have not done it that way. it has been mode gradual and i think most impressively, he is getting the best out of the players and also has improved the newcastle united players in the time that he has been there and that is why they are where

they are. the only lost too much as they are. the only lost too much as the season. they are. the only lost too much as the season-— the season. mentioned that great result for southampton _ the season. mentioned that great result for southampton knocked i the season. mentioned that great i result for southampton knocked out manchester city, bottom of the premier league are the more dangerous in the cup when the pressure is off thinking about that primary league relegation fight? you could primary league relegation fight? 7m, could certainly be forgiven for thinking that. with the fa cups on saturday, still bottom of the premier league but there have been signs of life obviously the wind against manchester city and signs of life obviously the wind against manchester city and delete cup winning three matches in a row before then, a set here against aston villa over the weekend with a loss that match i—0. aston villa over the weekend with a loss that match 1—0. i think that has walked them back a bit. i think generally this is only nathanjohn�*s tenth match as the manager of southampton so very early days and i think they will take improvement from the fact that he has been able to get things going to an extent and also tonight i'm told that it is sold out tonight which was not the

case for the quarter against manchester city. so i think that we will have a feeling tonight of something good happening here again at the club. ., ., ., ,, at the club. looking forward to your coveraue. at the club. looking forward to your coverage. thank _ at the club. looking forward to your coverage. thank you. _ there's one place remaining in the fourth round of this season's fa cup. tonight's third round replay between league 0ne's accrington stanley and boreham wood of the national league will decide it. a home tie in front of the bbc cameras against leeds united this saturday lunchtime is the prize on offer for the winners. adam cottier reports. temperatures a little warmer than it was a week ago when the original fixture was postponed. not quite time to ditch the winter coatjust yet but this game goes ahead, 17 days on from the original third round tie that saw a 1—1 draw. accrington stanley with the lead early on and in the second half and

equaliser scored which resulted in the replay. what of the 20th in the league i at the moment after a 3—1 loss, for boreham wood it is their first game in a fortnight. so they are lowest ringside, left in the competition. flying the flag for non—leak and facing accrington stanley for the right to play leeds united, the premier league side life on bbc television on saturday lunchtime. well the latest edition of the football news show is now live on the iplayer. this week ben croucher is looking at the current situation at spurs, with unrest among some supporters about how the club is being run. spurs have the exact same record decent draws in the champion leak and fa cups loads of fans are not happy. anger with the board and strategy they don't know if the manager will be there next year, or if their star striker kane either.

here is the record goal—scorer and notjust here is the record goal—scorer and not just one away here is the record goal—scorer and notjust one away from 200 in the premier league. a club legend but he does not have any trophies to show for his talents. 0nly does not have any trophies to show for his talents. only 18 months left on his deal, could he leave spurs. the something we tended about with kilpatrick. i will be pretty sizes —— surprised if you signed a new campaign by the end element yes 12 months left in his deal the risk of him walking away into summer is massive. he deal the risk of him walking away into summer is massive.- into summer is massive. he has decision to _ into summer is massive. he has decision to make _ into summer is massive. he has decision to make whether - into summer is massive. he has decision to make whether to - into summer is massive. he has| decision to make whether to look into summer is massive. he has - decision to make whether to look for a buyer or allow that to happen. lots of good stuff including the role of konte. he tells us what he wants to see what he wants from the owners in the board. the catch the all in our programme on the bbc iplayer or after sports air force.

staying with football — chelsea manager emma hayes has called for the women's super league to be provided with the same access to undersoil heating as teams playing in the premier league and the championship. it's after chelsea's game against liverpool at the weekend was abandoned a few minutes in because of a frozen pitch. if this is the top division for women's football then we should be afforded exactly the same opportunity. so as far as i am can turn to this is not about chelsea this is about women's football and being in a place where we are working hard to build a fan base, business, to build all of this things out many many years without equal access to things. merseyside police have arrested three men for alleged homophobic chanting at anfield during liverpool's premier league draw with chelsea on saturday. one was arrested inside the stadium and two outside the ground on suspicion of homophobic intentional harassment, alarm or distress. the fa can now also charge clubs if their fans use a homophobic chant

that has been aimed at chelsea players and supporters. time now for a look at some of the days other sport stories. bournemouth have agreed a 20 million pound deal with villarreal for senegal forward nicolas jackson. he's scored three goals in 2a games in all competitions this season. elliot daly here and jamie george have pulled out of the england training squad that's preparing for the six nations opener against scotland on saturday week. daly suffered a hamstring injury and hooker george was concussed in saracens' loss to edinburgh on sunday. french rugby chief bernard laporte has been detained by police as part of an investigation into tax fraud. laporte stepped back from his role earlier this month without resigning after being handed a two—year suspended prison sentence and 75 thousand euro fine for corruption.

glasgow warriors have terminated the contract of full—back rufus mclean with immediate effect after he pleaded guilty to domestic abuse charges. the club suspended the 22—year—old winger last week after he appeared in court in edinburgh, but following an internal disciplinary hearing with scottish rugby the club confirmed they'd sacked the player on grounds of "gross misconduct" and "breach of contract." he has the right to appeal. around this time last year we were talking about american skier mikaela shiffrin�*s nightmare 0lympics where she failed to win a medal. today she became the most successful woman in world cup skiing history with the 83rd victory of her career, taking her past the mark set by lindsey vonn, who's now retired. 0ur senior sports news reporter laura scott has more. mikaela shiffrin and her skis, and

celsius, thanks to something called the fern effect — you can find more details about that on our website. in the next few days, though, all areas should start to see their temperatures returning back closer to average values. it's been unusually cold to the south, thanks to this strip of arctic air. it's been unusually warm to the north, thanks to us pulling air from quite a long way south in the atlantic. 0vernight, we'll actually start to see some of the milder sinking its way south across the uk. rain pushing across scotland and northern ireland. clearer skies to the south, allowing a frost to develop — but if you watch the blue area carefully, it does get a little smaller as the night wears on, as that relatively milder air starts to expand across the midlands and into parts of wales. but where we have the clearer skies, we could be looking at rural lows —5—6, and a chance of some dense patches of fog developing for the midlands, east anglia, and the west country for early on wednesday morning. as the day plays out, though, and this band of rain pushes its way south — the rain not especially heavy,

but the cloud moving in — that should help to disperse the fog, so less probability of it lingering on through the day on wednesday. and we push that milder air south, so our temperatures through the day coming up across england and wales higher than they have been for a few days now. it is, though, a little cooler behind that front for scotland and northern ireland, because we move out of that unusually mild air. wednesday into thursday, some rain to the south overnight, high pressure pushes in, sets us up with a northerly airstream. so for thursday morning, actually, we could be looking at quite a widespread frost, but it shouldn't be quite as hard across parts of england and wales as it has been in recent nights. northerly wind off the north sea, some showers across eastern counties, a bit more cloud here. bertainly colder for the likes of aberdeen, just six degrees. temperatures closer to average, more typically across scotland, and for england and wales, they're at 8s and 9s. and then looking further ahead with our forecast, high pressure tending to be very dominant. so nothing especially wet

for us to contend with, which is positive news after all of the rain earlier this month.
