such good evening, i'm tt and this is your sports news where we start round action gets started with premier league leaders arsenal taking on manchester city tomorrow night. the match will see arsenal manager mikel arteta reunited with his former boss at city — pep guardiola. arteta spent five years as a player at arsenal before moving to city as assistant coach. it seems guardiola always knew where his protegee�*s heart lay. i know he went to the team, his club, the team that he dreams of and i think it's important for marcelo, for the fact

that he played there is a captain and he loved the club, i remember that we were together here, when we scored a lot of goals with celebrating, i came back and he 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 engladn 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 division between what the fans want

and where my position might�*ve been, then 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 i was conscious that how would things be 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, where she'll play aryna sabalenka. rybakina had a dominant performance in her semifinal, beating two—time champion victoria azarenka in straight sets setting up a clash against belarusian sabalenka. i got 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'll see how it is going to go but for sure, i try my best and i 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 in this kind of tournament, it is amazing to feel this atmosphere and play on this course and yes, that there was a great experience for me and i hope it's going to help me tomorrow. not tomorrow, on saturday. sorry, saturday. britain's men's wheelchair doubles duo alfie hewett and gordon reid

to conflict in space. the international space station is now the focal point for this renewed attention. the west has no choice but to continue to collaborate with russia here because the iss is not owned by any one nation. each depends on the other free to operate. it was a symbol of peace 20 years ago, when this construction was with the soviet union. when it was with the soviet union. when it was cut out of space projects with the west, the russians threatened to pull out of the space station and chose not to get through the in the end. heaven believes that if the ambitions of other worlds are to succeed, space agencies would have to come together once again. ultimately, i can see us

collaborating openly and fully international he is my hope and the go to mars. that is the dream. in the short—term future, there are other possibilities but i think we're going to have to learn to trust again and so, a lot of ground work that needs to be rebuilt with the russians. in keeping together with the russians on iss, it provides us with at least a starting point. in provides us with at least a starting oint. .. provides us with at least a starting oint, ., . , . provides us with at least a starting oint. .. , . ., provides us with at least a starting oint. .,. , . ., , ., 4' provides us with at least a starting oint. , . ., , ., point. in fact, since war broke out, the rocket — point. in fact, since war broke out, the rocket sent _ point. in fact, since war broke out, the rocket sent up _ point. in fact, since war broke out, the rocket sent up a _ point. in fact, since war broke out, the rocket sent up a russian - the rocket sent up a russian cosmonaut to the space station. seen here in the middle with long flowing hair, she was created by others on board during the recent crew change. international collaborations continues among the astronauts and cosmonauts. in a corporation is still continuing on the ground. in the very heart of moscow, a russian

this image from the early days of human space flight, was seen across the world riddled with strife and conflict. it showed that from space, there were no borders, just one beautiful planet. humanity is posed for its next big leap into the cosmos. the question is, whether a new space race to be driven by conflict or usher in a new era of peace and collaboration?

hello there. for most of us, the working week is going to end on a dry note, but cloud amounts will vary. i'm hopeful that most places will get to see at least a little bit of sunshine. it will be largely dry, but i can't completely rule out just the odd shower. where we're starting friday morning with clear skies, a cold start across scotland and northern ireland, a touch of frost, some patchy fog which could also affect parts of northern england and wales. further south and east, a bit more in the way of cloud and one or two morning showers, many of which will fade by the afternoon. and then for england and wales, it's a mix of patchy cloud and sunny spells. some sunshine too for northern ireland and scotland. but for northwest scotland, eventually northern parts of northern ireland, we will see more cloud fringing in ahead of this frontal system — the breeze picking up in the far north as well. light winds elsewhere, highs of around 6—9 degrees. and then through friday night, this band of cloud and increasingly light and patchy rain will push southwards across scotland, northern ireland, into northern england. ahead of that, that's where we'll have the coldest weather through the night

with a touch of frost and perhaps some fog patches as well. some of that fog could be quite slow to clear. the winds in the south will be late on saturday morning. this is our weather front by this point and not much more than a band of cloud, and maybe the odd spot of drizzle over high ground, especially in northern england, the north midlands and into north wales. to the south of that, some spells of sunshine. to the north of that, some spells of sunshine, and temperatures 6—8 for most places. now, high pressure across the south of the uk will tend to kill off what's left of that first weather front, mainly dry in the south on sunday, but further north, this frontal system approaching which will thicken up the cloud for scotland and northern ireland. it will bring some outbreaks of rain, some heavier rain to the northwest later where the winds must be picking up gales likely. some exposed coasts in the northwest of scotland and through the northern aisles, we could see gusts of 65 mph or more. but ahead of that weather front, very mild indeed. 12 degrees in aberdeen, that frontal system will sink southwards through sunday night into monday, very windy towards the north of the uk. briefly, some cold air from the north, but actually, then the winds start to come

in around an area of high pressure back the atlantic, and so, it's looking pretty mild through next week. a lot of dry weather around some rain, particularly in the north.
