showers beautiful sunset. some showers running down along the east of scotland and eastern england, some drifting further south through the midlands to wales and the western country. some showers continuing overnight, large areas of cloud across england and wales and northern ireland and scotland seeing more in the way of clear skies, allowing temperatures to glasgow. where we have this clear slice they could be some fog patches to start tomorrow morning. tomorrow across england and wales one or two early showers if you look closely at the map. most of those will fade and it will be much drier by the afternoon with a mix of sunny spells and patchy cloud. sunny spells too for northern ireland and scotland but with the stripe of scotland working into the far north—west later in the day. 9 degrees for stornoway and elsewhere between five and eight. this stripe of cloud is the first sign of a weather front that will push south tomorrow night. the rain tending to weaken as it goes so by saturday there is not much rain left at all, just this

band of cloud across parts of wales into northern england and to the south and north of that we will see some spells of sunshine, 6—8 degrees. into sunday, that weather front disappears from the chart because we have this area of high pressure dominating things in the south and keeping it largely dry. further north and west, an area of low pressure approaching, this frontal system bringing some cloud and rain especially north—west scotland but also northern ireland. gale is exposed in the north so when the end to the weekend. drier further south and mild on sunday for all of us. many thanks, ben rich with the weather. and that's bbc news at ten on thursday the 26th of january. usual reminder. there's more analysis of the day's main stories on newsnight with ben, which isjust getting under way on bbc two. the news continues here on bbc one, as now it's time to join our colleagues across the nations and regions for the news where you are. but from the ten team,

thought of and i was sitting there and it arsenal. that guy, that guy likes arsenal. marcelo bielsa is in london for further talks with the everton hierarchy as they search for a manager after sacking frank lampard. bielsa, the former leeds united boss, is the favoured choice for owner farhad moshiri with the hope of finalising an appointment before the weekend. sean dyche is the other main contender to take over at goodison park. lampard released a statement tonight saying he's �*disappointed' that he couldn't achieve more at everton but wished and everyone at the club the very best for the future the former everton and scotland striker duncan ferguson is off to gloucestershire — he's been appointed as head coach of forest green rovers. it's his first managerial role and he's taking overfrom ian burchnall who left on wednesday. he does have a pretty big task on his hands — the club are bottom of league one,

and have had just five wins in 28 matches this season. ferguson made 273 appearances at everton and also had two spells as their caretaker manager. he said he's ready for the challenge at forest green. kolo toure has been sacked as manager of championship side, wigan athletic after less than to two months in charge. the former arsenal and manchester city defender, who won the africa cup of nations with the ivory coast in 2015, had onlyjoined wigan in november on a three and a half year deal. they're bottom of the table and hadn't won in any of his nine games in charge. gareth southgate says he considered resigning as england manager because of criticism going into the world cup. england were relegated from their nations league group but reached the quarter finals in qatar. he's been speaking to our sports editor dan roan. when it feels like there might be division between with the fans want and what my position might�*ve been the end that can affect the team and

i was conscious of that meeting into the world cup and i thought we had great support going into the world cup but was conscious that how we think speed during and after the world cup because i never want to be in a position where my presence is affecting the team in a negative way. wimbledon champion elena rybakina has another shot at winning a grand slam — this time in melbourne. she's through to the australian open final. rybakina had a dominant performance in her semi—final, beating two—time champion victoria azarenka in straight sets setting up a clash against belarusian sabalenka. a lot of experience from wimbledon and to be honest, ijust want to come to the court and really enjoy the moment and enjoy the atmosphere because it's really amazing to play in front of you guys and so, thank you so much. yeah, we see how it is

going to go but for sure, i try my best in a fight and yes, hopefully i'm going to win. it was a straight sets win for aryna sabalenka in her semi—final as well and a big sigh of relief when she managed it — 4th time lucky for her — she had previously lost her last 3 grand slam semi—finals. but today she beat poland's unseeded magda linette to reach herfirst majorfinal. being in the final, it is amazing to feel this _ being in the final, it is amazing to feel this atmosphere and play on this course and yes, that there was a great _ this course and yes, that there was a great experience for me and erebus going _ a great experience for me and erebus going to _ a great experience for me and erebus going to help me tomorrow. not tomorrow. _ going to help me tomorrow. not tomorrow. on — going to help me tomorrow. not tomorrow, on saturdays. sorry,| tomorrow, on saturdays. sorry, saturday- _ britain's men's wheelchair doubles duo alfie hewett and gordon reid are through to the australian open final.

coming up now bbc sports editor dan roan sits down with england men's football manager gareth southgate to discuss what next after the world cup.

he felt conflicted of his future in a week later, the fa said he would continue but for the first time, his is explaining his decision and the teams training base to reveal why he remained in charge. gareth southgate, great to see you, how close did you come to walking away from the job and how difficult the

decision wasn't to stay? hat decision wasn't to stay? not difficult, obviously, - decision wasn't to stay? not difficult, obviously, i- decision wasn't to stay? iifrt difficult, obviously, lam difficult, obviously, iam contracted to 2024, my only concern after last summer is when it feels like there might be division between what the fans want and my position and what he might�*ve been, that can affect the team and i was conscious of that leading into the world cup and ifelt of that leading into the world cup and i felt we of that leading into the world cup and ifelt we had great support going into the world cup and i was conscious that how things would be during and after the world cup and i never want to be in a position where my presence is affecting the team in a negative way and i don't believe that was the case but ijust wanted a period after the world cup to reflect and make sure there was still heartfelt, really. h0??? reflect and make sure there was still heartfelt, really.— still heartfelt, really. how much soul-searching _ still heartfelt, really. how much soul-searching to _ still heartfelt, really. how much

major role in your thought process going into the world cup and if so, why? i was worried after that game that the team would be affected by the narrative being constantly about should the manager stay or go and i felt that we went to the games in september, we were a little bit anxious and thought, at wembley, germany, the crowd were not against the team we're waiting to see what happened and i've been around teams where they can inhibit performance and the lesson you want as a manager is that your presence is divisive and annoyed support of the players and annoyed support of the players and how they were responding to things and support of the organisations and so, those things are nice but there are bigger things thanjust having the are nice but there are bigger things than just having the support of those people at certain times. before the world cup, would you say

you are feeling you're more likely to leave then stay? ida. you are feeling you're more likely to leave then stay?— to leave then stay? no, i was totally focused _ to leave then stay? no, i was totally focused on _ to leave then stay? no, i was totally focused on the - to leave then stay? no, i was - totally focused on the tournament and determined to enjoy it and we want to give the best possible shot and see where it goes and make a decision afterwards. because you need to give yourself time in these situations to make good decisions and i think it is easy to rush things when emotions are high and very often you have to sleep a little bit more income to the right conclusions. little bit more income to the right conclusions-_ little bit more income to the right conclusions. ~ , ., , ., ., conclusions. most people agree that ou have conclusions. most people agree that you have breathed _ conclusions. most people agree that you have breathed new _ conclusions. most people agree that you have breathed new life - conclusions. most people agree that you have breathed new life into - conclusions. most people agree that you have breathed new life into the | you have breathed new life into the new england team during your time in church, do come as a major disappointment, maybe even shock the use of the criticism that she did after that result against hungary? no. football is as it is you cannot lose a game 4—0 don't expect people to be happy about the outcome. so,

yeah, i've been in the game long enough and how fans will react at certain times and i'm comfortable with that from a personal perspective in my thinking is always around how does this affect the team it is to give the give the team the best chance going into the world cup for example, do we need to free that narrative up so that the support is behind the team and notjust debating whether the managers should be there or not? but i think, we came to that period and started to score goals again and remind yourselves what we could be at her best and i was very much the mindset that we went into at the tournament. and was there an instance of unfinished business, that would be painful to see somebody else come and take over the role and perhaps benefit from all the hard work you been putting into for some time?

again, i don't have a problem with whatever the succession might be and if they're doing well once i've gone because no managers going to be around forever. it is a privilege to do the role that few of the team missed on the process of improving and they have exciting players were getting better with being able to play closer to her best level of these knockout games now and we are playing with a lot more freedom in those moments and that is a good thing. or getting more experience of the latter stages of the tournament for the next generation is going to be important. expectations are higher that is a good thing. i never worried about if somebody else takes over and benefiting and that so it should work it's about the future for england and the next few months, the next turn meant but also beyond

that, as always been the body of work year. if that, as always been the body of work year-— work year. if you can identify one sinale work year. if you can identify one single thing _ work year. if you can identify one single thing that _ work year. if you can identify one single thing that proved - work year. if you can identify one single thing that proved decisive | work year. if you can identify one i single thing that proved decisive in your decision to stay, what would it be? ., ., your decision to stay, what would it be? . ., . ., your decision to stay, what would it be? ., ., . ., ., be? that we are continuing to imrove be? that we are continuing to improve as — be? that we are continuing to improve as a _ be? that we are continuing to improve as a team _ be? that we are continuing to improve as a team and - be? that we are continuing to improve as a team and i - be? that we are continuing to improve as a team and i think be? that we are continuing to - improve as a team and i think people can see the quality of the performances and the progress that we are making and ifeel confident and i've been to three tournaments now and we are outside of france and you could argue croatia have led to a good role cops but if you put the euros and that, we've probably been just as consistent as any team with their finishes and where we are. and they think people have enjoyed that journey with us and i feel that we can still, going to the euros, we have to qualify first so, we cannot just talk about winning a tournament until we've qualified but i feel very confident about our chances

that tournament.— very confident about our chances that tournament. were there other times for you _ that tournament. were there other times for you that _ that tournament. were there other times for you that he _ that tournament. were there other times for you that he perhaps - that tournament. were there other. times for you that he perhaps taking the team as far as you could and that change may be good for the site as well as yourself? trio. that change may be good for the site as well as yourself?— as well as yourself? no, i never felt that- _ as well as yourself? no, i never felt that- i _ as well as yourself? no, i never felt that. l think— as well as yourself? no, i never felt that. l think if— as well as yourself? no, i never felt that. i think if anything, - as well as yourself? no, i never felt that. i think if anything, the opposite. we are much closer now to really having that belief to when a beast of a small step to take in his margins of that game which are really fine but games are won and lost in those key moments we did not defend well enough in the goals they scored and we had opportunities to scored and we had opportunities to score at the end to see those games and the level of the performances are good at the tournament and i saw progress in the team for my performances, even though in the

euros, go to a final and in this tournament, discharging him where he finished in terms of the round, not quite as successful.— quite as successful. there will be some fans _ quite as successful. there will be some fans would've _ quite as successful. there will be some fans would've liked - quite as successful. there will be some fans would've liked to - quite as successful. there will be some fans would've liked to of. quite as successful. there will be i some fans would've liked to of seen the change in fear that you've taken it as far as you camper to get the line and get this generation of england players the civil where they think they deserve, they think it is good to have a change. if think they deserve, they think it is good to have a change.— good to have a change. if our performances _ good to have a change. if our performances were _ good to have a change. if our performances were not - good to have a change. if our performances were not at - good to have a change. if our| performances were not at the good to have a change. if our - performances were not at the level they had been, i think that a little bit more legitimacy in that argument if they feel that we are all gaining belief in what we are doing. than? belief in what we are doing. any recrets belief in what we are doing. any regrets looking back with the benefit of a few weeks people like marcus radford you could've brought along, the traps and for that view. i don't, really. the flow of the game, frank score their goal for a period were probably grabbing her best viewed in the game with the

equaliser, we are progressing well were in the process of bringing those players on them only make changes, we want the penalty within a few minutes as well and what i learned from this job is no a few minutes as well and what i learned from thisjob is no matter what the result, the solution is the thing you didn't do because you never know what they might look like. so, i'm comfortable with that and i think we've got good depth and i think we scored well and there can always be an argument for a different player providing something at a different time stop by briefly tempted by offers? i think people know i'm under contract, firstly. so, the question for me was more what is the situation here with england and is at the right thing to keep taking this project on, and

i've been here ten years in developing everything as well. i wanted to make sure that i'm still fresh and hungry for that similar challenge, really? has fresh and hungry for that similar challenge, really?— fresh and hungry for that similar challenge, really? as the last six ears challenge, really? as the last six years taken _ challenge, really? as the last six years taken a _ challenge, really? as the last six years taken a toll _ challenge, really? as the last six years taken a toll because - challenge, really? as the last six years taken a toll because it - challenge, really? as the last six. years taken a toll because it never before this role, you've been asked and notjust manage but also comment on issues beyond the game. especially in the build up to this tournament, did that take its toll on you would all? ihla. tournament, did that take its toll on you would all?— tournament, did that take its toll on you would all? no, there were moments where _ on you would all? no, there were moments where length _ on you would all? no, there were moments where length would - on you would all? no, there were moments where length would be | on you would all? no, there were - moments where length would be more straightforward for me versus focusing on football and, you are very conscious of the impact of your words and you've got to be representing your country on a global stage and by viewing their country of certain things, when you're dealing with other people, it is complex but it is also the greatest privilege of my life and i

and all the circumstances, different clubs and it is a never—ending roller coaster really for the players. there are moments of the really informing the next few weeks are important for them to monitor more of the players that preps have not been with us this regularly but then of course, so going towards march and it's really key on who is in form and you can help us when and what is a crucial game going to naples with ukraine as well. and naples with ukraine as well. and this is every _ naples with ukraine as well. and this is every cup _ naples with ukraine as well. and this is every cup weekend for the round, how important is the competition and the first thing is the cup is an incredible competition and we get this print upsets every now and again and a lot of the teams players have been playing young english players for a lot of these

young players it was the first experience in competitive football so it is good to see employees breaking through. best of luck in this coming campaign.— breaking through. best of luck in this coming campaign. hello. temperatures have evened out now across the uk. it's not as cold across south—eastern areas. things are looking decidedly average over the week ahead. the position of this area of high pressure is going to be crucial. that's where it is on friday. we've got this weakening weather front heading into the north—west, but ahead of it, a chilly start, i think, on friday, frost in places, but a dry day on the whole with some spells of sunshine. we'll see the cloud increasing in the north—west, a little bit of drizzle ahead of the rain band that arrives towards stornoway, temperatures here reaching 9 degrees. the wind is lighter elsewhere and temperatures six to eight celsius, a bit like where they were on thursday. friday evening, friday night, you see that band of rain moves its way through scotland and northern ireland. the rain just getting

pulled out of it. it's just more a band of cloud, a bit of damp weather heading into northern england by the end of the night. ahead of it, this is where we're going to have the coldest weather, more towards south—eastern areas, so a change from friday night. we'll have some sunshine following to scotland and northern ireland after that a band of cloud moves southwards, again bringing a little bit of drizzle. southern parts of england could stay dry with some sunshine until late on in the afternoon. and these are the temperatures so, again, we're looking at around 7 or 8 degrees, which is near average for this time of year. the second half of the weekend, things may start to change. we've still got the high pressure here, we've got some atlantic winds coming in around the top of it, strengthening winds as well, and some rain but bringing some milder air. ahead of that, for england and wales, some sunshine at times. it'll turn more cloudy from the north. we'll see this band of rain coming into scotland and northern ireland, followed by some blustery showers. the winds really strengthening through the day, bringing in milderair. temperatures double figures in scotland and northern ireland, but very windy here into the afternoon, into the evening,

the first part of the night. the winds in northern scotland could actually be gusting 60mph or more. that area of low pressure bringing that windy weather then sweeps away, that weather front not really bringing any rain. it moves down across the country. we're left with a north—westerly wind, still quite brisk, particularly, again, in scotland on monday. but we'll see the showers dying away, we'll see a bit more sunshine ahead of the cloud increasing in northern ireland and western parts of scotland. temperatures here 9 degrees. it could make double figures across southern parts of england and wales, not a bad start to the new week. that north—westerly wind around that area of high pressure will start to change back to a westerly wind as this weather front moves down from the north—west. that's going to bring with it this band of rain here but, again, as you can see, it moves down across the uk, the rain peters out,

it's more a band of cloud, will be followed by some sunshine and some showers, just cold enough for a bit of wintriness over higher parts western scotland, and temperatures again 7—10 degrees. this is where the jet stream is positioned and we're going to see this pattern continuing for a little while longer, sitting right over the uk, the really coldest air is to the north—east of us. and we've got that area of high pressure — i told you this was crucial — you can see how the position of the high changes, starts to change the wind direction once again, pushing in the winds more from the south—west by the end of next week and that's going to bring with it some milder air, so temperatures are going to be rising. that high pressure will keep a lot of the wet weather away, however, across more northern parts of the uk, this is where we're going to find some rain followed by some showers, and temperatures will be a little bit more up and down. for southern parts of the uk, closer to the high pressure, the winds will be lighter here and for the most part, it will be dry, a little bit of sunshine at times.
