alexandra mackenzie, bbc news, glasgow. some more lovely colours here in the weather. yes, indeed. some spring daffodils for this weather watcher in york but it is not necessarily going to feel very like spring over the coming days. through the weekend, a subtle change to something a bit colder and some scattered showers. next week, some brisk winds and the potential for some snow and ice. for the time being, quiet out there with large amounts of cloud through the night. the orji shower. if we do see some bricks across western scotland and north—west england and wales, we could see some frost. if it stays cloudy, temperatures will hold just above freezing. into tomorrow, some sunshine across western scotland, wales, north—west england. forthe

most part, a lot of cloud around and some showers, particularly in the north—east of scotland and down the east of england. temperatures where they have been, 6—9. a little colder in shetland. as i nothing is to come. into sunday, more showers at this stage. again, quite a lot of cloud. if you look closely, i can see some of the showers over high ground in the north of the uk could contain sleet and snow is temperatures very subtly start to drop. then let's turn our eyes to the north of scotland through sunday night into monday because he comes a more dramatic change. this band of wet weather but wintry weather on the package with a cold front sinking southwards. through monday and into tuesday, plenty of snow showers pushing on, particularly to parts of northern scotland and down the eastern side of england. that is where we already have yellow warnings for snow and ice. if you live somewhere else, you may not be out of the woods because it will be

cold enough for snow to full anywhere in the country. 0k, thank you. and that's it. you can keep up with all the latest developments on bbc website. from the six team, it's goodbye. the news continues here on bbc one, as now it's time hello, and welcome to sportsday this friday night — i'm chetan pathak, coming up on the programme... former england captain michael vaughan gives evidence for the first time at the yorkshire cricket racism hearing. in bangladesh —jason roy's century helps england seal a one day series win. can anyone stop max verstappen and red bull — we'll be in bahrain ahead of formula one's season opening grand prix. also coming up on the programme before 7pm... after 100 games and 44 goals for wales, helen ward tells us why she's retiring from international football.

michael vaughan captain england in more than 50 tests over a five—year period before a t20 match for yorkshire back in 2009 that he has been accused of racism. he categorically denies directing a statement towards forward spinner and mac and three asian players which says, there are too many of you lot, we need to have a word about it. now this afternoon they have put out a number of historic tweets by michael vaughan in 2010 one of which saying there are not many english people living in london, i need to learn a new language. today michael vaughan is that that is unacceptable and has apologised many times. he is also reached out to a azeem rafiq to try and we worked things out. he has had its not easy for any of us and is not the right process to do with word for word comments from 1a years ago. he added that ex—teammates fighting it out over here sai is a terrible look for the game. set i've

always believed in champion that the fundamental aspect is and it needs to be inclusive. in these will continue on to save closing submissions. staying with cricket — england have wrapped up their one day series in bangladesh with a game to spare after beating the hosts by 132 runs in dhaka. adil rashid impressed again with the ball, taking four wickets, afterjason roy's outstanding century put them on the path to victory. patrick geary was watching: bangladesh may be the note was his place in the world to watch cricket, energy everywhere. fighting against that buzz was jason roy., the killjoy, joining the sound from the stadium with every shot. later this year at the world cup will be played on not like this in india and here jason roy showed what was possible. a century that would earn no war but plenty of respect. when he went for 132, the captain freed his arms. jos buttler in full flight is difficult

to keep up with, just watching. head beat was a bowling when he somehow craft us. astonishing. the game was moving beyond bangladesh's grasp. hp of 327 looked impossible —— improbable in the first over. bangladesh's chances of syncing with the sun. he ended with four, england ended this early and by now it offered barely a murmur. a good win for england. australia have got their first test win in india in six years — after a nine wicket win in indore confirmed their place in the world test championship final chasing just 76 to win the third test on day three in indiore, australia overcame the loss of usman khawaja second ball to seal only their second win on indian soil since 200a. travis head led the way with an unbeaten 49 offjust 53 balls as the tourists bounced back from defeats in the first two tests. india can seal their place

in the world test championship final with victory over australia in the fourth and final test which begins on thursday in ahmedabad in gujarat. the way we went about it was outstanding. and we have not qualified for the final of the world test championship which is obviously been on our radarfor a while. so to take that off is worth celebrating for the steam as well. yesterday, again, i thought we were great with the ball. nathan obviously got a lot of the rewards but i thought our pulling group as a collective were outstanding. —— bowling. it's fair to say liverpool and manchester united have had contrasting seasons so far. whilstjurgen klopp�*s side have struggled to match the form they've shown in recent years, united are enjoying a resurgence under erik ten hag that's seen them win the league cup and they're in the running for three other trophies. that includes the premier league — with both sides going head to head at anfield on sunday: it turned into a result machine.

december. it is not quite the off—season i had in mind. as he can probably tell my speech has been the thing most effective, ironically. but we are working on that. really looking forward to the start of the season. and hope we will get a really good title fight this year. lots of great racing and maybe even some since prize winners. i'm wishing you all of the best for the season. —— sue prizewinners. we knowjennie's going to be watching what happens at the bahrain grand prix this weekend very closely. red bull looking very strong today after first and second practice? i think what stood out to me in practice today was that all of the hype that we have been talking about in the lead up to the start of the season came true. people have been counting aston martin of the ones to

watch saying they made a huge step on from last year and there was a worry that that would not come true but it has. fernando alonso doing fairly well in f1 of course during the team for 2023 and then topping the team for 2023 and then topping the time sheets in fp2. a holiday for him. the big question of course is, how much fuel did he have in the car, where they were running a different programme to other people on the grid. i do think having heard from red bull after the two sessions, they definitely think that aston martin are now the ones to watch and are very competitive. lewis hamilton and cindy both resigned to a difficult start to the season. how do you assess where mercedes or at? i season. how do you assess where mercedes or at?— season. how do you assess where mercedes or at? i think they will be very honest — mercedes or at? i think they will be very honest and _ mercedes or at? i think they will be very honest and candid _ mercedes or at? i think they will be very honest and candid about - very honest and candid about their situation. both driver saying that they are on the back foot slightly, not where they wanted to be coming into the season. i think it is comforting for mercedes fans to note that they caught on top of that poor putting issue we spoke about all the time in 2022. they have managed to sort that out which means it will be
