heavy, some rumbles of thunder, some winteriness and it will turn windy across the north and west of scotland. single figure values for much of scotland and northern ireland, ten to 12 degrees for england and wales. around midnight towards iam we are likely to see a squeeze in the isobars, the north highlands towards shetland are likely to see gusts of 70 or 80 mph, pretty ferocious winds likely to cause disruption through the early part of wednesday. showers affecting the northern half of the country, much of the south will be quite quiet, clearspells, much of the south will be quite quiet, clear spells, winds quite not so strong, some concerns with the strong winds across the far north of scotland, severe gales likely through the middle part of tonight lasting through the early hours, some disruption to ferry services early on wednesday. you can see that disruption pulling away through

wednesday, the weather front draped across northern ireland, southern scotland, northern england and the midlands brings sharon bursts of rain, the odd one getting into wales and the south—west but much of the south dry, bright with some sunshine, it should brighten up with sunny spells and one or two showers. temperatures ranging from seven to ii temperatures ranging from seven to 11 degrees in the south. moving through thursday and at the front pushes into the northern half of the country, could be wet across scotland, the heaviest rain eventually pulling away, temperatures rise as we pick up milder airfrom the temperatures rise as we pick up milder air from the south—west. quite a bit of closure and quite a benign date with not much going on, probably the best of the sunshine towards the south and south—west up towards the south and south—west up to 12 or 13 degrees, close to the area of high pressure. that milder weather pushes northwards through thursday and friday, keeping weather fronts at bay, you will notice a plunge of colder air working in from the north—west through the weekend.

a mile to enter the week, rather cloudy, limited brightness, we could see an increase in sunshine through the weekend but temperatures will be coming down on sunday and feeling cooler into next week.— cooler into next week. thank you. our to cooler into next week. thank you. ourt0p story: _ cooler into next week. thank you. our top story: the _ cooler into next week. thank you. our top story: the uk _ cooler into next week. thank you. our top story: the uk will - cooler into next week. thank you. our top story: the uk will be - cooler into next week. thank you. our top story: the uk will be the i our top story: the uk will be the only major economy to shrink this year according to the international monetary fund. that's all from the bbc news at 0ne, so it's goodbye from me, and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc�*s news teams where you are. good afternoon. it's 1.33pm and here's your latest sports news. it's one of the busiest days of the year when it comes to football tra nsfers. premier league, efl, scottish premiership and international clubs have until tonight to sign the players they want before the deadline.

chelsea have been the biggest spenders across this window and the last. jane dougall�*s been keeping across a potential major move today. it across a potential major move today. looks as thot thrown it looks as though chelsea had thrown everything at this. they want enzo fernandez and they are willing to pay his release clause of £105.6 million. it is reported he does want to go and has asked his club, benfica, release him. chelsea will play pay the release clause in instalments. that would surpass the £100 million that manchester city paid forjack grealish, making him the most expensive premier league signing ever. he won the best young player award at the world cup in the summer with world cup winners argentina. he would be a huge addition to the london side, who seem to be bolstering their squad with young players. there is a future plan being put in place thereby chelsea.

well, chelsea have spent over half a billion pounds across the last two transfer windows, so they will have to balance the books and one man heading out of stamford bridge should help that. italian midfielderjorginho looks set to move to rivals arsenalfor £12 million. another major move has also been also confirmed this morning sees manchester city full—back joao cancelojoin bayern munich on loan until the end of the season. the german club will have the option to join permanently in the summer forjust over £61 million. it is also the women's transfer deadline today. the window for domestic transfers in the wsl closes at 5.00pm. could we potentially see a world record move for alessia russo? the bbc understands manchester united have rejected a bid from arsenal which was in excess of the record £1i00,000 barcelona paid for keira walsh last year. russo�*s contract is up in the summer. she has turned down a renewal offer — movement there is possible. don't forget you can keep across all of the latest speculation and confirmed deals throughout the day on the bbc sport website.

there's also a special transfer deadline day edition of the football news show. deadline day live will be on the bbc iplayer and on bbc news from 10.00pm tonight. christian eriksen is expected to be out of action for an extended period, according to manchester united manager erik ten hag. the danish midfielder suffered an ankle injury in the fa cup win over reading last saturday and was later seen leaving old trafford on crutches. the club say investigations into the problem are continuing, but initial assessments indicate he is likely to be out until late april or early may. the opening game of this year's fifa women's world cup has been moved to stadium australia in sydney. the match between the hosts and republic of ireland was due to be played at the much smaller sydney football stadium. stadium australia has a capacity ofjust over 83,000. football australia are understood to have been inspired to move the game to a larger ground after seeing england's lionesses sell out old trafford

for their opener during last summer's euros. it is going to be a huge day for women's football because we also have a fan festival is up and running, there will be tens of thousands of people there, as well as we know millions of fans watching on broadcast all over the world. we are pushing this tournament beyond greatness and the opening match they will certainly show us that. greatness and the opening match they will certainly show us that. warren gatland has named his welsh side to face ireland at a sold out principality stadium in the opening round of the six nations on saturday. leigh halfpenny makes his first wales start for 19 months after returning from a serious knee injury. joe hawkins, who won his first senior cap against australia in the autumn, makes his six nations debut at inside centre. he partners wales' most—capped men's international back george north in the midfield. alun wynjones starts, while dann biggar is back at fly—half after missing the autumn internationals. that's all the sport for now.

you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. that's bbc.co.uk/sport. a bbc investigation in egypt has revealed how dating apps and online activity are being used to abuse and blackmail people for their sexuality and gender identity. criminal gangs are targeting vulnerable people online and the state police are also using similar tactics. this report features some distressing scenes from the start. a group of friends ambushed by someone they thought they could trust — naked, terrified, and forced to dance at knife—point. the whole humiliating ordeal was filmed and posted online. it was viewed more than two million times. these are the victims of gangs targeting lgbtq people in egypt. translation: they were the most . disgusting six hours of my life. . i could have died. i was scared to death.

leila, who identifies as transgender, was in the video. sharing her story with us is risky, so she has chosen a 3d face tracking mask to conceal her identity. we have also changed her name. being exposed as transgender leaves leila open to targeting by the police. there is no explicit law against homosexuality in egypt, but our investigation has found that the law against debauchery, originally a sex work charge, is being used to criminalise the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer community. queer is an offensive word to some, but for the people i spoke to, it was their preferred term to describe their sexual orientation or gender identity. any positive depiction of homosexuality is banned in the media here. on this call—in show on state tv, the presenter tells a mother worried about her gay son that he needs treatment.

this stigma and the way the law is being used leaves people like leila vulnerable to attack. by interviewing other victims and through online research, we were able to confirm the identity of one of the leaders of the gang. his name is yahia. he is the man with the knife in the video. we have evidence that his gang has carried out at least four similar attacks. sahid is just 18 and another of yahia's victims. translation: he asked for money, which i didn't have, _ so he called my parents, and the video spread all around egypt. he wanted to report the attack to the police, but his lawyer advised him against it. translation: he said, - "both of you will be jailed." because i am a gay man and because he stole. he said his offence isn't as big as mine in egyptian society. we found the police themselves have been impersonating users on dating apps to find and arrest members of the lgbtq community.

we have been given exclusive access to extraordinary police transcripts and investigation records that show in detail exactly how street level police are targeting people online. in some of the exchanges, the police seem to be pressuring people into offering sex for money. but in others, there is no mention of any financial transaction, so the transcripts appear to show evidence that people are being arrested for their sexuality. police forces in egypt receive training from the uk via the un. the egyptian interior ministry did not respond to the bbc�*s request for comment. yahia denied involvement in any attacks. lgbtq people in egypt are forced to hide their sexuality to survive. leila and sahid hope their stories

can help break the silence. ahmed shihab—eldin, bbc news. you can watch the full investigation, queer egypt under attack, on bbc iplayer now. a new report suggests the so—called �*net zero economy�* is worth more than $86 billion in the uk. the energy and climate intelligence unit says not only can green industries boost a country's economy, it can also provide higher wages, a higher skilled workforce and greater investment opportunities. the report shows venture capital investment into the sector is growing at a rate of over 30% per year. peter chalkley is director of the energy and climate intelligence unit and explains what investment in green technologies means across the country. well, what this analysis has shown is that the net—zero economy is already contributing £70 billion to the uk.

interestingly, it's contributing that value in parts of the country that have traditionally been challenged for economic growth — cities, communities in the north, previous industrial heartlands that in the past couple of decades maybe have felt like they've been left behind. one of the big political challenges in the uk in the past few years has been so—called �*levelling up�* those areas, trying to generate growth outside of london in the south—east in those northern cities and communities, as i say. i think what this analysis shows is that net zero is already playing a part in levelling—up and with venture capital numbers, as you mentioned, where they are, investment flowing in, there's only one way those investments are going to go. the opportunity really here is for growth. the question is, will the government create the right enabling

environment for that to happen. if you look at places like tyneside, teesside, the humber, merseyside, derbyshire, yorkshire, parts of the country that have traditionally had large industries, but those have declined, we're seeing new industries take their place. offshore wind — the uk has been incredibly successful building an offshore wind industry. we are starting to build more electric cars. the figures show that our manufacturing of electric cars is up, but also, interestingly, other sectors that you might not necessarily think of. so farming, agri—tech, technology, new technologies in farming to help farmers reduce their emissions and far more productively, as well. so there are a whole range of different sectors where the net zero economy can play a role in growth. importantly, as you mentioned,

this is a really productive part of the economy. each net zerojob is 1.7 times more productive than the average for the economy as a whole. dredging has restarted on the river tees in the north—east of england as part of a huge project which is predicted to create 750 new jobs. dredging was blamed by some fishermen along the north east coast, who claimed it led to a mass die—off of shellfish in 2021. but a report compiled by marine experts said dredging was �*very unlikely�* to have been the cause. the work is designed to allow large ships to load wind turbine foundations that will be built at the new site. ian reeve reports.

pictures that might prove divisive. this is the start of a new phase of dredging on the river tees, digging out a turning circle for big ships using the new wind turbines foundations. some people think of such work was responsible in 2021 for the deaths of crustaceans along the north—east coast. but a report last week debunked that conclusion, saying it was highly unlikely. also the same conclusion for death by a disturbed toxic chemical. for the mayor, investing in the project some relief. i accept there are some people who do not accept science. it is clear that dredging and pollution has a chance of less than 1% for the die—off. there is clarity in that report that work on the freeport didn�*t start until after the die—off. it is clear we are safe, the science backs that up and we can

deliver the investment. the dredger owned by a dutch company digg material to be dumped out at sea. it's amixture of sand, glacial till and stone. the dredger picks it up of the river bed and then a pipeline connected to a large barge that has a capacity of approximately 10,000 cubic metres. and then that takes the material out to sea once it is filled. the bottom of the barge opens and the material is deposited on the sea bed at the disposal location. the dredging work will continue for the next two months. work on the quay itself also goes for the £100 million scheme that has promised to create 750 jobs.

at the height of covid, scientist in the east of england led the world in monitoring new variants as they came along. a lot of those checks have now been wound down, but a team in cambridge is still researching how well the vaccines are working. especially for the thousands of people who remain vulnerable because of illness or age. here�*s our correspondent richard westcott yes, we all love to forget about covid, but many don�*t have that luxury. people who�*ve had cancer or other illnesses are still at risk, as are older people. and that�*s why jack�*s giving his blood today. 0k, well done. 0k. he�*s one of 150 volunteers helping scientists keep tabs on how well the vaccines are working. talk me through your motivation for volunteering for this research. so, i lost family to covid. so the first wave last year, before i had covid myself, my family had covid. so i thought, well, if i can help out in my own little way, then hopefully people can benefit from that and research can work

with it, and everybody else is helping out as well. researcher steve carries jack�*s blood across cambridge�*s biomedical campus to a nearby state of the art lab. since the pandemic started, they�*ve been collecting blood regularly from a wide range of people — vaccinated, young, old, and those still at risk from covid. it�*s that clear bit at the top that they�*re after, the plasma, where the antibodies from the vaccines live and do their work. by testing those antibodies against the coronavirus, they can check how well the vaccines are fighting off new variants. a lot of people will remember the days when we were all panicking about new variants all the time, and a lot of that monitoring has now stopped, hasn�*t it? so is this going to keep an eye on what some of those new variants might do if and when they come along? absolutely. the knowledge that we�*re gaining by doing our experiments using different variants and testing them against the antibodies produced by our patients, we�*re able to tell whether there

are gaps in the way that we�*re covering for future variants and current ones, and therefore to inform what should go into future vaccines. covid�*s under control, but it�*s not going away. it�*s vital scientists stay vigilant for those still at risk and to make sure we�*re all protected in future. richard westcott, bbc look east, cambridge. it�*s hoped nearly 60 kilos, worth more than £3 million, will be extracted from scotland�*s only gold mine every single month by the end of this year. the firm that runs it says it could soon expand to other sites across the highlands. david henderson has this report. there�*s ear defenders for your ears. this long, dark tunnel runs deep underground. it�*s scotland�*s only gold mine, and it�*s nowjust starting to give up its treasure. it�*s taken years to reach this point, to drive a tunnel more than a kilometre into the heart of this mountain, following a gold—bearing vein of quartz.

what lies ahead are years of mining that gold. but geologists think there could be far more gold still to be discovered, perhaps even under my feet. how many miles of tunnels have you got here? so we have 1.2 kilometres... a hundred people work here. among them, mine geologist rachel paul, whosejob it is to chart that seam of gold right through these rocks. so the vein itself... so it�*s a quartz vein, which runs through the mountain and it�*s been here for 408 million years. and you can almost see it above our heads right now. so it�*s a quartz vein and it has sulfides in it. you can see it a little bit closer in my hand. so we�*re looking for quartz vein, we�*re looking for different types of mottling and different shear structures. in a long soundproofed shed just below the mine, machines crush the quartz and rock to get at the gold. before the end of the year, the goal is to bring out 2,000 ounces of gold every month, worth millions of pounds. but they�*ve been prospecting

far beyond this site and think more seams of gold are there to be discovered. setting the scene, perhaps, for a gold rush across the highlands in the coming years. so the areas that we have stretches to the west, just south of 0ban, down campbeltown way and it continues on all the way through to loch tay and the like. we have 2,900 square kilometres of area that we can explore and so once we�*ve actually done this vein and the vein next to it, then we�*ll explore out and see how far and big we can actually make this company. so this is a bar of 22 carat scottish gold. most of the gold is sold abroad, but a few kilos remain in scotland to be turned into jewellery like this. it�*s a small but growing market. obviously, you have people that have been born and bred in scotland and want a piece of their country. but you also have so many people from all over the world that feel this really special connection to scotland and want to take a piece of it home. we've done a huge range of bespoke commissions, so things like wedding bands,

signet rings are really popular as well as the more statement—style pieces. there�*s a limited supply of scottish gold, but high prices around the world have fuelled demand and mean the effort to mine it could pay off well. david henderson, bbc news. the city of auckland in new zealand are seeing more rain after a flood that has seen four people dead and hundreds of people homeless.

it was the wettest day on record for new zealand�*s largest city. last friday, a storm swept across auckland causing majorflooding. people had to flee their homes as many houses were badly damaged. streets were swamped. this train came off its tracks. this is new zealand�*s national stadium flooded with water. at least four people have died and about 350 need emergency accommodation. now more bad news for auckland. new zealand�*s weather authority has issued a red heavy warning for the region. it�*s the highest level reserved for extreme events. my focus and the focus of central government is supporting auckland through what is still a big challenge ahead of them. there�*s the big clean—up to go and, of course, we know through the forecasts that there�*s more bad weather ahead. climate change is causing episodes of heavy rainfall to become more common and more intense in new zealand. with heavy rains forecast in various parts of the city for at least the next five days, auckland remains under a state of emergency.

you may remember a couple of weeks ago we had the pleasure of meeting little pouty. she was on because she was entered into the uk�*s ugliest dog contest and, guess what? she won. she fought off competition from seven other dogs to wind the prize. she has one a pamper at a doggy spa and a professional photo shoot. poor peggy! at least she doesn�*t know. it was a great start towards the south of the country but skies are brightened up and it will stay brightened up and it will stay bright for much of england and wales through this afternoon. it will be

windy across the north, certainly across scotland, with winds reaching gale force. the reason why is this area of low pressure that will be edging closer to the north of the uk, bringing the scales to scotland and frequent showers, some of them are heavy with thunder. snow on the hills. apart from the odd shower in west wales in the north of england, much of england and wills will be dry with plenty of sunshine. through this evening into the first part of the night this area of low pressure will bring a spell of severe gales to the far north of scotland with gusts up to 80 miles an hour for orkney and as far north as shetland. we are likely to see disruption here from the gales and there will be frequent showers or longer spells of rain in the northern half of the country. a stormy night to come for the north —— for the north compared to the south which will be calmer thanks to an area of high pressure setting south of the uk. this area of low pressure will move out into

the norwegian sea. it will be a stormy start to wednesday in the north—east of scotland with winds gradually easing down through the day. this weather front will bring some rain to northern ireland, northern england, the midlands. to the south of it it is generally dry with one or two showers. mild, double figures in the south, cooler in the north. for thursday, another weather front moves across the north of the country bringing outbreaks of rain. some of it will be heavy in the north and the west. some brightness for easter scotland. for most of the country there will be variable amounts of cloud, some sunshine. it will feel very mild for the time of year with temperatures in double figures. weather transferred with the far north of the uk through friday. a very mild day to come. signs of something cold you�*re beginning to spread down from the north—west through the weekend. friday another benign day, lots of

cloud with very mild. things start to turn culture as we head through saturday and sunday.
