colder, some little colder, some scattered showers and a lot of cloud, most of the shower is falling as rain. next week, the changes become more dramatic. it will feel a lot colder particularly given the strength of the wind and many of the showers will be falling as snow. at the moment the really cold air is locked away to the north of us. what we have tomorrow is this cold front that will be pushing its way in and that will be pushing its way in and that will be pushing its way in and that will introduce more cloud, some showers for north—east scotland, and slumping onto the east coast of england. elsewhere, generallya slumping onto the east coast of england. elsewhere, generally a lot of cloud, the best chance of sunshine across parts of western scotland, the isle of man, north—west england and may be parts of wales. tomorrow, about like today, 6—9 . looking at sunday, again, a lot of cloud, limited sunshine. a few more showers at this stage and some of those will be a high ground in the north of the uk because it will be just a little bit

colder. temperatures down by one or 2 degrees and in shetland no higher than three degrees. we turn our eyes to the far north on sunday night because this is where the big change starts to take place. this band initially rain in association with this cold front, the front moves southwards, we will see some winteriness on the back edge and behind it, the air will be plenty cold enough for snow to fall. snow showers particular pushing into northern and eastern scotland, down the east coast of england on tuesday to put through monday and tuesday, these are the areas already covered by a met up with yellow warning for snow and ice. some disruption is looking likely but if you live away from these areas, elsewhere in the uk, you might not be out of the woods. there is uncertainty about the detail but snow could falljust about anywhere across the country during next week and we will keep you posted. thank you and that is the bbc news at ten. there's more analysis of the main stories on newsnight with katie

which isjust getting under way which is just getting under way on bbc two. the news continues on bbc one at its time to join our colleagues across the nations and regions for the news where you are pulled from the ten o'clock team, it's good night. good evening, i'm gavin ramjaun — and this is your update from the bbc sport centre. former england captain michael vaughan spoke for the first time today — at this week's cricket disciplinary proceedings, into alleged racism at yorkshire cricket club. it's after claims made by azeem rafiq during his spell with the county. matt graveling reports now — a warning you may find some of the language heard at the hearing offensive: vaughan, and more than 50 tests over a five—year period but before the t20 match for yorkshire back in 2009 and he has been accused of racism. vaughan categorically denies in the statement towards former yorkshire spinner azeem rafiq and three asian

players which says, there's too many of you lot, we need to have a word about it. this afternoon, a lawyer brought out a number of historic tweets posted by vaughan which said, there's not many english people living in london and i need to learn a new language. and he has since apologised many times. he also reached out to azeem rafiq to work things out and he says it's not been easy for anybody, it's not the right process to deal with the right process to deal with the right process to deal with the right process to deal with wordy consort comments from 14 years ago. he added former team—mates fighting it out as a terrible look for the game pieces joyce believes in championing addressing the culture and it has to be inclusive. his proceedings will continue want to stay with closing submissions. england's men's one day side have wrapped up a series win against bangladesh, with a game to spare. they won by 132 runs in dhaka earlier — thanks to a star turn from jason roy with the bat.

patrick gearey reports. bangladesh might be the noisiest place in the road to watch cricket. energy everywhere. betting against the bus was jason roy, trending the sign from the stadium with every shot. laterthis sign from the stadium with every shot. later this year, the world cup will be played on pitches notjust like this in india. and a century that will win click t of respect. when he went from 132, england's captain freed his arms. in full flight, he is difficult to keep up with and sam was bowling when he somehow wrapped this. astonishing. the game was moving beyond bangladesh grasp at 327 looked improbable after the current struck twice in the first over. syncing with the sun, to make the magic. he ended with four in england and at

myself but i am happy. it is a bronze medal. bronze also for melissa courtney—bryant — who got gb going with a third place finish in the women's 3000 metres. she lost out to the german pair — hanna klein — who won gold, and konsta nze klosterhalfen, britain's hannah nuttall was 5th. and neil gourley took silverfor britain, in the men's 1500 metres, his first major senior medal. he was a close second to norway's jakob ingebrigtsen, the olympic champion held off a resurgent gourley in the final stages but the scot was delighted to push him all the way. i believed i could do it. i put myself in the right places and i got beaten by someone who was just better. i've got the ticket all on the chin and outdoors because our momentum is heading into it. when a metal here today, i haven't done that yet never won a major metal. so it was important to get that started. yeah, as you said, this is

a building block for the summer and we are not the area but we're getting there and getting closer and closer. manchester city can close the gap at the top, with a win in tomorrow's lunchtime kick off against newcastle united. their boss, pep guardiola has been talking about their former captain vincent kompa ny�*s future. kompany�*s in charge of runaway championship leaders burnley — who city face in the fa cup quarter finals. kompany won ten major honours in 11 seaons at the etihad, and guardiola believes one day he'll return to city as manager. personally, i am delighted with his success and i think all of us have found that happy to be back. and so, i think becoming a manager already, it was written in the stars. it's going to happen. i don't know when but it's going to happen. knows the environment, knows the fans, all the needs. the destiny is there. pep

west bromwich albion lost valuable ground in the race for a playoff spot in the championship — after they were beaten 2—0 at hull city. an absolute cracker set hull on their way — with a his first goal for the club, with that rocket into the top corner. no stopping that one. an own goal in the second half sealed their fate — albion�*s fourth league defeat in seven, with hull nowjust three points behind them in 13th. there was a surprise pacesetter in second practice of formula one�*s season—opening bahrain grand prix this weekend, aston martin's fernando alonso topped the timesheets, the spaniard continuing the team's strong pace from testing, finishing a tenth ahead of the red bulls of world champion max verstappen and sergio perez. lewis hamilton was eighth fastest, with mercedes team—mate george russell in thirteenth. there was a dramatic finish in super league as reigning champions st helens were beaten by a last gasp leeds rhinos drop goal. blake austin was the man who put

the ball between the sticks for the rhinos with just twenty seconds left on the clock. the result gives the away side their first win of the new season and moves them up to tenth in table. in rugby union's premiership — northampton saints were on the end of real mauling by bristol bears, who won 62 points to 8, at ashton gate. it's the biggest win of the season — with bristol scoring nine tries, harry randall with two of them. northampton were ahead courtesy of a penalty, but it was one—way traffic from then, in bristol's favour, the win moving them to 8th, with saints losing ground on the top two. finally — the women's six nations starts at the end of the month. one of the games taking place is in northampton at franklin's gardens, where england will play italy. ahead of the match, two girls schools had the chance to meet and train with one of england's biggest stars. our reporter, james burridge was there too: when i'm carrying the ball, i get in touch and then.— touch and then. when an english ru:b as touch and then. when an english rugby as big _ touch and then. when an english rugby as big stars. _ touch and then. when an english rugby as big stars. under - touch and then. when an english rugby as big stars. under the - touch and then. when an english i rugby as big stars. under the record point scores and were tempted, ready

guide dogs. for thousands of blind and visually impaired people, they're the difference between independence and isolation. she's my best friend, my constant companion, my means of independence. i couldn't imagine my life without rio. since 1931, around 36,000 guide dogs have been matched with visually impaired people. but during the pandemic, the breeding programme shut down overnight. the charity lost a third

of its puppy—raising volunteers, and the guide dog service was paused... people like us are needed, so much, to help people like you. ..leaving more than 1,000 people waiting to be matched. it is really, really difficult not having the dog. practically every step you're thinking, "this is impossible. i don't know how i'm doing with this." but with around 1,100 puppies now in early training, is recovery around the corner? we are hopeful for the future, but we do need a little bit of patience for a little bit longer, as these dogs make their way through the system. we visit puppies at the national breeding centre and ask what needs to be done to fix britain's guide dog shortage. archie! good boy.

let's go! meet new arrival archie... good boy! are you my little star? ..and his puppy raiser, lisa. hers is one of more than 2,000 households giving their time for free to help raise guide dog puppies for around a year. it's opened up a whole new world. i've met lots of new friends, i'm part of... i feel part of a community that i wasn't before. not only that, obviously you're doing something very good, at the end of the day. it sounds exciting, but it's a big commitment. puppies like archie live at home and often need attention around the clock. as much as it's your instant reaction, "puppy, puppy, puppy," you know, "let's go for it. a cute little puppy," you've got to remember that it's a lot of work. it's... being a puppy raiser is hard work, especially at the beginning. volunteers take their puppies with them to everyday places, from restaurants to supermarkets and on buses and trains, to help get them ready

for their future working lives. at the end of the day, ijust remember i'm doing this to enable somebody who's not as fortunate as me, that can't see, to actually get some independence. archie, touch! volunteers like lisa are supported by the charity guide dogs, which works across the uk. lovely. just keep doing exactly what you're doing, rewarding on the left there so he always knows where to come. that's absolutely fantastic. good boy. today, puppy development adviser beth has come to see how lisa and archie are getting on. so the reason that we use hand touch is so when archie is placed with a visually impaired person, obviously they can't see when he's running back, when he's coming, so they can pop out this hand as a target. these routine visits are as much about supporting lisa as they are for training archie, but these are the building blocks he'll need if he's to earn a working harness. good boy! perfect. good boy! learning through play is encouraged... ..but there are some things archie

will need to quit before he finishes his training. you're going to have to learn what this is for. but he's just got such a wonderful nature. he's a heart of gold, and hejust loves people. really loves people. happy times, but every puppy raising volunteer knows that if all goes to plan, the day will come when they have to give them back to guide dogs. later, we'll follow lisa and herfirst pup, fergall, as she hands him in for the next phase of his training. what are the emotions that are going through your head today? if i'm honest, i'd say proud. i think that's my biggest one. so proud of what i've done. really proud of him. voice breaks lisa hopes that both of her dogs will go on to give someone their independence. just proud. forward, rio. forward! go on, then. i couldn't imagine my life without rio.

she's so important. she's my best friend, my constant companion, my means of independence, of getting about wherever i want to go, whenever i want to go, and living the life i want to lead. go forward. good girl. ella caulfield is a first—time guide dog user. she was matched with rio in 2018. good girl. well done. she's very open aboutjust how much she benefits from having a guide dog in her life. she gives me that independence that i do kind of need, and i crave, that i need to live the life i want...| want to lead. she's good for a cuddle at the end of an evening if i've had a bad day, and she's an excellent guide. she's very rarely led me astray. it's not a one—way street, though. ella looks after rio's needs and wants. today, she's grooming and cleaning her coat. it's one of the responsibilities ella has as a guide dog user to make sure that rio is loved, happy and well cared for. if they didn't have each other, ella says she'd never have been able

to study maths at oxford university. ella started to lose her sight at four years old. when she was 15, she received some devastating news. i think because it happened gradually, it wasn't, like, an immediate shock of "you're not going to see again". i was told i had a retinal detachment, and i definitely broke down then. i was with my dad. i can remember him hugging me and the nurses kind of bringing me a cup of water, just kind of comforting me. and then i got booked in for surgery the next day. doctors operated to see if they could save any sight they could, but those attempts failed. nothing came of it. so i've been left withjust minimal light perception in my right eye. but it's...it's not useful. i can only see light if i, like, look directly into the sun or into a light bulb. for ella, a new reality. she learnt new life skills and how to read braille. she applied for a guide dog in may

2017, and then around a year later an exciting call came. it was actually my mum picked up the call, so... i hadn't got home from school yet. my mum picked up the call. it was someone from guide dogs saying, "we've got a match for ella." i think ijust got very giggly and very kind of... yeah, very excited. like, "yes, this is happening." ella and rio spent around five weeks training with guide dog mobility specialists. can you tell me what it felt like the first time you were guided by rio? i felt lighter. i felt like i was definitely kind of more smiley, more confident. icould... i could move freely and independently without relying on somebody else being there. like many guide dog users, ella would never want to be without a four—legged friend again. just feeling so much more confident and independent and happy that, like, i had this friend with me who was going to be there permanently with me. rio provides such a kind of welfare support to me.

ella and rio are one of 3,695 partnerships currently working in the uk. that's down from around 5,000 before the pandemic. more than one in five people who had a guide dog before then now do not. i honestly think they are doing their absolute best. like me, kelly nasir is waiting to be matched with a new guide dog. we are among more than 1,100 people on the ready—to—train list. kelly's last dog, river, retired eight months ago. her mobility has been seriously impacted. walking with a cane is like walking with one hand tied behind your back. it makes everything harder. not having the dog, that's what makes you feel disabled. because when you have the dog, you just... you get on with things. kelly keeps a busy social and work diary. she's a barrister, but also a mum.

not having a dog doesn't only affect her, but her very young daughter. i'm the one who can't take her out when i want to, i have to say, "well, let's wait for daddy," or, "let's wait till we go see nanna and grandad." and i can do everything else she needs and i'm her mummy, and i love her and i'm the one that's there when she has her nightmares, and i play with her and it doesn't impact on our relationship, but i think it impacts on how i feel about thejob i'm doing as... ..as a mum. watch the tree. so why do guide dog users like me and kelly find ourselves between dogs? puppy: puppy! the answer lies here at the charity's national breeding centre in warwickshire. bill's been explaining to me that the waiting lists are currently a bit longer than guide dogs would like them to be for life—changing guide dogs. purely for research purposes, you understand, i might have to stroke puppies like bill and many, many other puppies. is this the bestjob

in the world or what? this is where a guide dog puppy'sjourney begins_ before the pandemic, as many as 1,500 dogs were bred here in a year. in 2020, the breeding programme shut down overnight when social distancing was introduced. it was the first time in the charity's 92—year history that the guide dog service was suspended. archive: guide dogs show their paces along one - of the centre's obstacle courses. although training techniques have changed over the years, the aim to match visually impaired people with guide dogs has not. archive: and thousands of blind | people who have benefited from it will agree with her. nowadays, the charity trains more assistance dogs than anyone else around the globe. puppy! little ones like paige spend the first weeks of their life here. for them, they're just having fun...

she's currently nibbling the camera at the moment. ..but staff are watching closely to see how suited they are to guide work. she's got the brains, for sure. she air kisses puppy. paige! hi, pup! are you a good puppy? yes, you are! look how cute you are! look at those big eyes and floppy ears. you're such a good puppy! sniff it. 0k! becky and anna are paying close attention to see how paige reacts to human interaction. right... they laugh they're looking to see how she deals with problem solving. yes, she's... she's... she knows. that's a good sign because a guide dog's ability to find their way around a problem is, well, just part of the job. good girl. that's also interesting that she's... she's been to that one, smelled that one. she's like, "mm, it's not there." and she's actually worked out to go to the other one. so, in itself, that's interesting.

during the pandemic, all training and breeding here stopped. guide dogs say they needed to protect their staff and volunteers. so that is our puppy reception. it is really unfortunate. our breeding programme is fantastic, it's world—class and it's always been able to produce the number of puppies that we've required to meet our service users' needs. and unfortunately, that pause in our breeding programme has really affected us. and there's been other combinations as well. bearing in mind that obviously our puppies, when they were out with our amazing puppy—raising volunteers, weren't able to experience the environments that they would experience with a guide dog owner as yourself. so unfortunately, it's been a combination of things that have meant that we haven't produced the number of guide dog partnerships that we really want to. breeding numbers are getting back to normal. in the past year, around 1,000 puppies have passed through here. we are in recovery mode and we are hopeful for the future, but we do need a little bit of patience for a little bit longer as these dogs make their way through the system. as you said, these little puppies

here that we saw today, it will take about two years for them to make partnership. around 1,100 puppies are currently in early training. guide dogs says what it needs now is volunteer fosterers who can look after dogs in advanced training, dropping them off and picking them up from the charity's offices on weekdays. our volunteers are our lifeblood. guide dogs could not do what we do without our volunteers, across the board, across all of our services. and unfortunately, after the pandemic, we did lose a lot of volunteers as people wanted to have a break, being the situation, we also kind of reduced the numbers that were reapplying. so we are at the moment looking very heavily to recruit lots of volunteers, and we've been very lucky that a lot of people have been so generous with their time. come on then, sam. let's go. head. good boy! reporter: after more than eight years of working with sean, - guide dog sammy is set to retire, and sean may have to wait two

years for his next dog. that was six months ago. when sammy leaves me, it will leave a huge hole in my heart. a few hours later, sammy left me to retire with family. much of my confidence and mobility left me too that day. sammy is more important to me, and you always will be, sammy. i know you'll always be my boy. a month later and it's clear i was still in trauma. you are actually quite moved today, aren't you? you know, we... sharing my story is by far the hardest thing i've ever done in my career. the impact, though, has been huge. i would like to say to bbc breakfast viewers, thank you so much to everyone who's already applied to volunteer at guide dogs. since coverage, we've seen a peak in applications. so injanuary alone, we received almost 3,000 volunteer applications. 2,500 of those were to raise puppies, compared with 2,000 for the whole of 2019, the last pre—pandemic year. for lisa's first pup, fergall, it's the end of one journey,

but the start of another. all this, i'm packing the three trays up from home. his biscuits that i always give him, half a biscuit at bedtimes. they've been together forjust over a year. this, i've had it made and had his name put on it, and his id number. she's packing up things that she hopes will remind him of their time together. and his christmas present. i can't tell you what it is — he'll hear! sean laughs the day has come for fergall to start his advanced training. that means lisa must say a painful goodbye. hello! hi! i want him upset as little as possible. they're his toys, he's got his biscuits that he has half a one at night.

i mean, if she's generous, she might like to give him one at first, because he deserves it. any time he's not with shelly, working and learning, learning what he's got to do, he'll be in there having a good rest. and then we've got some fab free—running sandpits out the back as well, so we'll show you them, where he can have his downtime and have some good sniffs. yeah. nice doggy hotel and playground, fergall. this may be a sad time for lisa, but for fergall, a new adventure awaits. here you go, you get big boy lead now. bye—bye, sweetheart. many guide dog users stay in touch with their puppy raisers, but many do not. tearfully: thanks for that. you're welcome. i'll ring you tomorrow. lisa knows this could be the last time she sees fergall. crying: i am fine. woman: you've set me off, anyway. the one question that i get asked all the time or people say to me, all my friends, family, people i meet in the street, "i'd love to do what you're doing, but i couldn't do it,

"because i couldn't give the dog back." he's ultra cute. he's a good boy. if i can do it, anybody can do it. as a guide dog user of more than 23 years, i know the theory of what volunteers like lisa go through, but being there for the moment of handover was as beautiful as it was poignant. it's hard, but you've got to remember why you're doing it. you know, people have to help people. there's not enough of it in this world. we're needed, people like us are needed so much to help people like you. the tears are worth it.
