story. i don't think i have time for 500, but a lovely day across parts of southern england and wales. the sun has been out, and a change compared with yesterday. on the sci—fi picture, you can see an extensive bank of cloud still across many northern areas of the uk. in scotland, it has been a dreic kind of day. patches of light rain coming and going throughout the day. —— dreich. areas of rain across northern scotland and north—east england and ireland as well. a damp start to the night, the rain will probably ease off across southern scotland later in the night, and at the same time, clearer skies in the south, things probably curling over across the midlands, parts of east anglia and eastern areas in wales, but the cloud might be flaky across the south of england. it might be praying the web prone to breaks, so we might see some holes in the plan for wales, south—east england and were scotland, where only a cold and locally frosty started the day. but here we will have the best sunshine.

throughout the day, still a lot of cloud across northern england. taken for northern ireland across the morning to bring patches of light rain, in the afternoon, probably turning drier. temperatures about 8-9, turning drier. temperatures about 8—9, then again, we got these chilly north—easterly winds with us once again. this weekend, the area of high pressure is stilljust about hanging on, but we start to get weather fronts coming hanging on, but we start to get weatherfronts coming in hanging on, but we start to get weather fronts coming in for the second half of the weekend, so saturday, it should be a lot of dry weather, variable cloud, but some spells of sunshine. on sunday, the cloudy sticker, and we will have some patio breaks have been working on across the country. and then, next week, we were talking about this yesterday, we have got polar air coming down from the north, northerly winds dragging much colder weather conditions and for some, yes, there will be some snow. the first place it there is likely to see snowfall is northern scotland. snow drifting around over high winds with the strong winds, and the rule of thumb is the snowy weather, the risk of snow extends southwards in the week ahead. still working other details. suffice to say, next week looks very cold. chris, thank you. that's it from us. but with the latest news at ten. now, time for

our colleagues across the nations and regions for the news when you are. goodbye. hello and welcome to sportsday — day two of english cricket racism scandal with the charge against the former english captain considered by the panel. two spot checks and 4000 inflatable flesh, we talk about the cup run that has caught the imagination —— fish. cocaptains as they begin the defence of the women six nations. they have been chosen to lead. also coming up in the programme, the pga tour begins its elevated event with the bigger prize

pot and tended to had off the temptations. and in winter sport, they claim another title is charlotte banks and hugh nightingale team up for world championship gold. hello again. the hearing into the racism scandal that engulfed english cricket and yorkshire county cricket club has continued today, with the focus on the charge against former england captain michael vaughan. the independent cricket discipline commission established by the england and wales cricket board is hearing charges relating to allegations first made public in 2020 by azeem rafiq, a former yorkshire player, who gave testimony today. just a warning that some viewers may find the language referenced in this case upsetting. matt graveling has been outside

the hearing in london for us. day two of proceedings here have now concluded with the former england captain michael vaughan was present, we have yet to hear from them. we do share from his lawyer christopher who said that vaughan and categorically denies making comments that he cannot believe that the claim have been made against them. it was injune of 2009 for yorkshire t 20 match the vaughan was claimed to have said they're too many of you lots, we need to avoid about that, directed at azeem rafiq and his asian team—mates. in one of the board during the hearing from bangladesh were he is currently playing with the english side. he said he did hearthe playing with the english side. he said he did hear the alleged phrase and while he did not offend him and he did not think that vaughan was racist, the comment was bad humour. microform is cross—examined by vaughan�*s lawyer and talk about what it said and azeem rafiq said he apologise for any discrepancy but he had been put through a lot and is

certain that a racist comment was said in the term you modded been said in the term you modded been said by so many of the yorkshire squad that had been normalised. he carries mental scars having gone through this process, one of seven men charged along with the cloud for bringing the sport into disrepute. —— club. they have chosen to withdraw from the disciplinary process. plymouth, cambridge, burton. they were all the division above, then luton who are in the championship. but grimsby had some biggerfish to fry. premier league southampton were next to fall as the league two side reach the quarter finals for only the second time in their history. from this and not one to forget. this could be a big moment and this fa cup time and waiting in

anticipation and there's a penalty. some are asking for intervention from a higher order. and it is good! it is i- 04 from a higher order. and it is good! it is i— 04 grimsby town! and bring this thing to do. and again. principe down! 2—0 and the mighty merit as! full—time! grimsby in lead to two have knocked out so the premier league! the last time grimsby got this far was in the 1930s, they're also the first fourth tier team to reach the fa cup quarter finals since cambridge in 1990. they'll play brighton next and last night's goalscorer gavan holohan sez the travellnig fans will take their blow up fish on another long journey down south.

yeah, you look up and all you see is an inflatable everywhere. it's pretty surreal but it definitely gives us a lift. and last round against luton as well and, yeah, pretty special last night are you looking up number 4000 there and it'sjust a special looking up number 4000 there and it's just a special occasion. i practised a few and get a late session before the game yesterday morning and i practised a few and it paid off. the next question is when�*s the next round and of massive list to go down and try to sort as many as i can and that should be interesting and so, they're all very proud and hopefully they can get it for the quarterfinal. now, grimsby have apologised after one of their tweets

reflecting their win was criticised. the club have called it inappropriate and say they removed it as soon as they were made aware that it had caused offence. thousands of fans are expected to travel to brighton for the quarterfinal later this month. but one who won't be is among their most famous, lloyd griffith is a stand up comedian whose tour dates have a frustrating habit of clashing with his team's cup run. last night, i was in southampton and watching grimsby town beat southampton and was an amazing atmosphere and many fans with a lot of inflatable fish and that is when i was placing this and my london talk show tonight and they will behave last night and had a very few beers. it'sjust behave last night and had a very few beers. it's just a very odd little time to be doing a tour when they were matched to do well which absolutely nobody envisaged. find absolutely nobody envisaged. and our next absolutely nobody envisaged. and your next round in terms of your

the sports news today. from three to 14 groups as early as this month. expanding 40 team competitions and 16 groups and keep the number of matches down but few five better rethink. manager of the month award! is recovering from gall bladder surgery and puts bellini in charge. the only game he was able to attend with a defeated leicester. nathan took eight wickets with 11 for the match to leave australia needing only 76 runs to win the third test against india pulling off four knots. both zhao shintong and yan bingtao will miss the 2023 world snooker championship as they await the outcome of a match—fixing investigation. a total of 10 players will remain suspended for the rest of the season — with a disciplinary hearing

to be held in april during the championships. the england women's head coach simon middleton has named his last six nations training squad before he steps down from the role at the end of april. he's unveiled nine uncapped players but also the news that regular skipper sarah hunter will be share her role with co—captain, saracens marlie packer, here's our rugby reporter sara orchard. blessed him with some of this was that the world cup final in new zealand —— the last time. in the on enemy of the black ferns. there are plenty of excitement surrounding this england squad during the next world cup is here and 12,025. yes, nine uncapped players named for their two elements of the team that do attract the eyes. natosha hunt

and number eight, sarah beckett. both did not travel to the world cup were very open with the disappointment that they were not selected. however, since they are up once again is named as the england captain but she has openly said she will not be playing in the next world cup. they are expected to be announced evidently however, her cocaptain is saracens for the six nations the opportunity for her could be huge.— nations the opportunity for her could be hue. ,, �*, , ., could be huge. she's been involved in some massive _ could be huge. she's been involved in some massive occasions - could be huge. she's been involved in some massive occasions from i could be huge. she's been involved| in some massive occasions from the club point _ in some massive occasions from the club point of— in some massive occasions from the club point of view and she could lead _ club point of view and she could lead us — club point of view and she could lead us out. the difference she makes — lead us out. the difference she makes when she takes the field is phenomenal and that is why will we looked _ phenomenal and that is why will we looked at _ phenomenal and that is why will we looked at we fight options will be, she was_ looked at we fight options will be, she was front and centre of both players — she was front and centre of both players. certainly lots of work to - ive players. certainly lots of work to give her— players. certainly lots of work to give her and players. certainly lots of work to give herand if it is players. certainly lots of work to give her and if it is going forward, we feel_ give her and if it is going forward, we feel confident with squat that we have at _ we feel confident with squat that we have at the moment and she has an

feature 36—hole cuts. the designated events will also have bigger purses as the tour aims to stop players defecting to liv golf. there is precedent for no cut events. there has been no cut events as i've been a member of the tour and way beyond that as well, so maybe it's going to be a few more of them are? may be, that is still tbd, that are still to be confirmed, but if we do go down that path, there is precedent to argue for a no cut event and it keeps the stars there for four days, you ask mastercard or whoevher it is to pay $20 million for a golf event and they want to see the stars at the weekend. you have the guys playing those top events against the more often, guarantee the sponsors they're going to be there four days. and if you are coming out to an event to watch on saturday and sunday and you find a kid, saying to get out there early, a kid could come out

and watch me early in the day and you could guarantee that rory mcilroy will be there on saturday, and another big hit on sunday. that is a lot of value added for sponsors and tv. i think the likes of rory mcelroy and others will freely admit that he fled to the pga tour and having to look at the way that they operate and how they can get their best players together most frequently to improve the product on the pga tour. they suggest these moves are going to do that there are number of sceptics who believe that perhaps, a limited field with no cut is not actually the best way to portray toward goals with the argument, as you there is that it guarantees responses that the biggest names for

all four days and that's what we are likely to see probably right about ten of these tournaments with fields of round about 70 to 78 players. all ping with an average of $20 million in peppering the pga tour schedule next year. if in peppering the pga tour schedule next ear. , ., , , next year. if they are behind it is revamping _ next year. if they are behind it is revamping to _ next year. if they are behind it is revamping to a _ next year. if they are behind it is revamping to a certain _ next year. if they are behind it is revamping to a certain degree i next year. if they are behind it is revamping to a certain degree or thinking about revamping some of the tournaments in the pga tour, does the pga tour lose whatever moral high ground it may have had in this hero and villain conversation that some might of been having over the course the last year or so because of their simply going to copy an element of liv, are they admitting that liv have some sort of legitimacy but a lot of them claim that they have not?— that they have not? there is that asect that they have not? there is that aspect and _ that they have not? there is that aspect and liv — that they have not? there is that aspect and livjumped _ that they have not? there is that aspect and livjumped in - that they have not? there is that aspect and livjumped in on - that they have not? there is that aspect and livjumped in on this| aspect and livjumped in on this with their own tweets saying that and a sense, imitation is the greatest form of flattery, welcome to the future pga tour. it's making the point in rory mcelroy made this

point that in the past, we have seen tournaments is no cut in the pga tour and it spread across the tors but american—based which no cut and fields of roundabouts 17 to 80 players and i think the area of caution that all fans should be feeling at the moment is that those wdc events never really took off and a entered the public consciousness even though they attracted the best players in the world and though there were no cuts and it was close limited fields. and i wonder whether or not this is the most successful model that is available and is very easy to see why liv are are joining our party now. the european indoor athletics championships are under way in turkey. there'll be plenty of

hopes and expectations of british medals in istanbul. keely hodgkinson's form, in the women's 800 metres, has been outstanding in the past 12 months, her latest win coming in birmingham. she's through to the semi—finals as she looks to retain the title she won two years ago. isabelle boffey is also through. distilling myself defend my title and a pace harder than doing what you're used to. yeah, i'm quite tired. and i'm sure hoping i'm ok by saturday and come back sunday. uk indoor 800 metres champion guy learmonth is through to the semi—finals despite finishing third in his heat. the 30—year—old considered retiring "many times" during a battle with long—covid. butjoining a training group in australia gave him motivation to keep going. it i've yet to take any silverware

home and i'll make sure i run better tomorrow i'm going to get into that final. 23 races and it was like red rural champion max could dominate this year too. champion max could dominate this yeartoo. it champion max could dominate this year too. it will make the progress we made was very good but we have to show this week we made was very good but we have to show this weei— show this week knowing this weekend but also will we _ show this week knowing this weekend but also will we continue _ show this week knowing this weekend but also will we continue to _ show this week knowing this weekend but also will we continue to develop l but also will we continue to develop and every tract is different in terms of behaviour of the car but this was good for us. snowboard cross and it was one of the hits of the winter olympics last year... the athletes race down a course at breakneck speeds, often separated only by hundredths of a second at the end. and now britain has a world champion in the sport,
