6:30 pm
cloudy all through may stay fairly cloudy all through the weekend. let's have a look at the weekend. let's have a look at the big picture. in the last couple of days we have seen cloud streaming in off the atlantic. it has now mostly shrouded the uk. but with that comes much milder air which is riding around this area of high pressure which is nosing in on us from the continent, it is a bit like a horseshoe. you can see that milder airfrom the a horseshoe. you can see that milder air from the bay of whiskey —— bay of biscay going around. first thing in the morning it will be frost free and temperatures will be around six to eight celsius. there will be breaks in the cloud, it really does depend where you are, so it is difficult to summarise tomorrow, cloudy or sunny, but there will be some breaks in the cloud. the temperature is not bad at all, around 12 or 13 degrees. that high
6:31 pm
pressure is still with us on sunday and the sunny areas and the cloudy areas will move around the uk with subtle changes in the wind direction. perhaps a shade cooler, not that you will notice, around about ten or 11 degrees. the high pressure will eventually shift towards eastern parts of europe in the middle of the week and that will give way to weather fronts off the atlantic. that is the next time we are anticipating rain. until about tuesday or wednesday many areas are staying dry and certainly from wednesday evening onwards into thursday we will be getting our first dose of rain. that's it but the news of course continues here on bbc one as we join our colleagues across the nations and regions for the news where you are. have a very good evening. hello, i'm olly foster. here's what's coming up
6:32 pm
on sportsday this evening. scotland danced past england to keep their hands on the calcutta cup. what can they do against wales? ireland caught the eye on the opening weekend, can the six nations favourites see off the champions in dublin. and pep guardiola comes out fighting, confident that manchester city will be cleared of financial fair play breaches and blaming the other clubs for conspiring against them. my my first thought is we have already been condemned. also coming up in the programme... superbowl 57, we'll be live in arizona as the eagles and chiefs get ready for sunday's showdown. and the future of motorcyle racing in ireland is in the balance
6:33 pm
evening, plenty coming up over the next half hour to mark your card for the weekend. we'll start with rugby union because we've got more six nations matches coming up — ireland, scotland and france the winners from the opening round. we'll head live to murrayfield in just a moment, but let's start in dublin, where tomorrow, the favourites ireland face the grand slam champions france. andy swiss is inside the stadium. these two sides are in very different places at the moment. that's right. you'd imagine the scotland fans turning up in pretty confident moods tomorrow after that victory over england last weekend.
6:34 pm
it was a victory lit up by that incredible first half tribe —— try. contrast that with wales who got off to a terrible start. and their coach has made some big changes for tomorrow's match. scotland will be wary. they haven't won the opening two matches since 1996.

6:37 pm
game. they include some big names. will rob wainwright, martinjohnson, and they're hoping to raise half1 million pounds for the foundation. it will be a poignant occasion here tomorrow is scotland fans of another chance to pay tribute to one of their greatest rugby legends. it could be a very emotional afternoon, shirley will be. andy swiss, many thanks indeed. —— it surely will be. england will be desperate to get back on track on sunday — that should be a given against italy at twickenham — but the italians are vastly improved, and pushed france close last weekend and england are a side in transition. the heard coach, steve borthwick, has made a number of changes,
6:38 pm
the headline is that fly—half marcus smith drops to the bench, with captain owen farrell moving to his more favoured number ten role. owen has a fantastic skill set. we all see this. he's superb. i think having the ability to play ten or 12, having the ability to change the way the team is set up within the game, also gives great flexibility. almost certainly, the biggest game of the weekend is in dublin tomorrow. it's going to have a big say where the title is heading this year. ireland facing the grand slam champions france. stephen watson reports. stuart mccloskey

6:41 pm
ago, they will successfully defend themselves again. our sports editor, dan roan, was at today's news conference. my first thought is we have already been condemned, so what happened right now happened... we had to really acquisition now. why should in that moment, what they told me before the defender physician... the club proved that we are completely innocent. why should not take right now when there is not even an acquisition? just chargers or suggestions. even an acquisition? just chargers orsuggestions. so, even an acquisition? just chargers or suggestions. so, you have to understand between 19 families are accusing us without the opportunity

6:44 pm
game against aston villa, but it was almost exclusively about those charges, and that is the subject of this week's sports desk podcast — journalist david conn is among the guests, and that is available on bbc sounds. a review conducted after sheffield wednesday's fa cup tie against newcastle has found that "all aspects" of stadium safety were met. some newcastle fans had claimed there was a lack of stewarding and overcrowding in the away end before kick—off last saturday. the review, which was carried out by sheffield city council and the club, did make some minor recommendations regarding the overall matchday experience. let's have a quick look at some of the day's other headlines. wsl leaders chelsea will face the holders and eight—time winners lyon in the quarterfinals of the women's champions league. arsenal have been drawn to play bayern munich next month. british number one emma raducanu has been given a wild card to play at indian wells next month after dropping to 80th in the world ranking.
