11:50 am
i will announce i'm activating the camera. in the first of its kind in the world, sophie wood is one of 100 grassroots referees taking part in a body cam technology trial. the aim is to see if they can improve the behaviour of players and coaches. it means that i've got that safety net there. if anything was to cross that line for me, i'm able to switch the camera on, it captures, starts recording from that moment, it also captures the 30 seconds beforehand, so then context can really be gained around the situation that you've switched it on. many worry that when incidents like this one are broadcast on television, the behaviour can be copied at a grassroots level. the professional game of course are very aware of the fact that they are often seen as the example and that people can aspire to the behaviours seen and, you know, they are working collaboratively with the football association to ensure that actually they are also addressing poor behaviour from the coaches, the players. so hopefully, you know, if we do this united we'll get some really positive results. in february, a bbc questionnaire found that out of almost 1,000 referees who responded, just under 300 said they'd been physically abused by spectators,

11:57 am
a few moments, but first let's have a look at the weather, with carol. hello again. many of us started on a cold note, but with some clear skies and we're hanging on to a lot of clear skies today under this area of high pressure. so very settled conditions. but we do have a weather front making its way in from the atlantic. that will throw more cloud ahead of it as it does so through the course of the afternoon, especially and across the western isles and also northern ireland. here, too, it's going to be windy, gusty winds around the outer hebrides. breezy along the north sea coastline, east anglia, kent and the english channel. so feeling a little bit cooler here. but for most of us, the breeze is very gentle. now, temperatures today could get up to 15 degrees somewhere around the moray firth. but generally, we're looking at about 9 to 13. through this evening and overnight under clear skies temperatures will follow quite rapidly. as the weather front comes in, it will bring thicker cloud and some rain across western scotland and northern ireland. so not as cold here, but temperatures freezing or indeed below for much of the rest of the country. tomorrow then, the high pressure is still with us. these weather fronts trying to make inroads, not making a huge amount of progress, but they still will produce thicker cloud and some spots
