we have quite concerning right now we have quite concerning spring heat building in the south of spain and south of portugal, temperatures over the next couple of days likely to get into the high 30s celsius. that will challenge april records. that heat has been building to the south of the jet stream. we find ourselves to the north of the jet stream and so we are stuck in this rather chilly air and tonight is going to be another cold night, particularly where you keep clear skies, particularly in the north of scotland. there could be some wintry showers here and temperatures in the coldest spot at around —7 just like last night. compare that with eight above in the south—west of england because here there will be a lot more cloud around and that cloud and rain will go northwards and eastwards as we head through the day tomorrow. some brightness across the midlands and northern england with the odd shower. the best of the sunshine will be found across the north of scotland but temperatures struggling once again. north to

south, seven to m celsius. quite a messy weather chart as we had to thursday. a couple of different weather fronts likely to bring some outbreaks of rain. still some uncertainty about where exactly the wettest of the weather will be. it is likely we will have one band of rain across scotland, one moving northwards across england and wales. but if you are in this dryer slice across the heart of the uk i cannot completely rule out some rain here either. temperatures starting to climb and for the end of the week we will bring some slightly warmer air author —— warmer air northwards. not like spain and portugal, but warmer thanit like spain and portugal, but warmer than it has been but not dry because there will be showers at time. thanks, ben. and that's bbc news at six. you can keep up with all the latest developments on the bbc website. from the six team it's goodbye. hello and welcome to sportsday this tuesday night. i'm chetan pathak.

coming up on the programme: leicester play leeds on a big night in the fight for premier league survival. already back in the big time — is this the night burnley are crowned championship champions? off like a rocket — ronnie o'sullivan pulls clear in his quarterfinal at the world snooker championship. what wimbledon�*s planning to do to support ukraine and ukrainian tennis players after lifting its ban on russian and belarusian athletes. welcome along, thank you forjoining us. it's that time of the football season where the sporting cliche "a six—pointer" starts to get used.

leeds against leicester feels like that tonight with both sides just a point or two above the premier league relegation zone. kickoff is under 90 minutes away. leeds have lost their last two at home, letting in 11 goals. this is how fans at elland road are feeling. we've been doing all right, just not as good we expected. i we've been doing all right, “ust not as good we expected.�* we've been doing all right, “ust not as good we expected. i brought him down and- -- — as good we expected. i brought him down and... there _ as good we expected. i brought him down and... there is _ as good we expected. i brought him down and... there is a _ as good we expected. i brought him down and... there is a huge - as good we expected. i brought him down and... there is a huge matchl down and... there is a huge match toniaht. down and... there is a huge match tonight. absolutely _ down and... there is a huge match tonight. absolutely huge _ down and... there is a huge match tonight. absolutely huge batch. i down and... there is a huge match| tonight. absolutely huge batch. we can't afford — tonight. absolutely huge batch. we can't afford to — tonight. absolutely huge batch. we can't afford to lose. _ tonight. absolutely huge batch. we can't afford to lose. we _ tonight. absolutely huge batch. we can't afford to lose.— can't afford to lose. we need to win. i'm excited, _ can't afford to lose. we need to win. i'm excited, i— can't afford to lose. we need to win. i'm excited, i think- can't afford to lose. we need to win. i'm excited, i think you - can't afford to lose. we need to l win. i'm excited, i think you will. i've suworted — win. i'm excited, i think you will. i've supported leads _ win. i'm excited, i think you will. i've supported leads since - win. i'm excited, i think you will. i've supported leads since i - win. i'm excited, i think you will. i've supported leads since i was i i've supported leads since i was nine, _ i've supported leads since i was nine, i've — i've supported leads since i was nine, i've cried _ i've supported leads since i was nine, i've cried with— i've supported leads since i was nine, i've cried with them - i've supported leads since i was nine, i've cried with them and l nine, i've cried with them and everything _ nine, i've cried with them and everything-— nine, i've cried with them and eve hina. ., , ~, everything. how will you be crying toniaht? i everything. how will you be crying tonight? i hepe — everything. how will you be crying tonight? i hope not, _ everything. how will you be crying tonight? i hope not, but— everything. how will you be crying tonight? i hope not, but i - everything. how will you be crying tonight? i hope not, but i think. everything. how will you be crying tonight? i hope not, but i think i l tonight? i hope not, but i thinki miaht tonight? i hope not, but i thinki might be! _ we shall see.

everyone plays in the premier league across these three mid—week nights, which could have a big impact on what happens at the bottom of the table. this is how things stand in the relegation fight, just six points separate third from bottom everton to west ham and wolves. sandwiched in between are leeds and leicester withjust a point between them. that is why tonight's match matters so much. our reporter charlie slater is at elland road for us. a lot of sides are looking at their runnings and going, well, we might be ok because we're playing against teams that are thereabouts in the bottom, but leeds are running really tough. leicester city might be on the verge of picking up and leicester have an easier running than leeds. they have to play some really tough teams. six games left, five after tonight. if they are going to start to get right footing, they have to do so quickly, and

they're a team in desperate need of an injection of confidence. tonight, against a relegation rival, this is 16th against 17th. absolutely crucial that they give themselves something to build on. that indeed is a home match in charge and getting that win, what's he done that brendan rodgers wasn't doing aside from winning? house he made that happen? i doing aside from winning? house he made that happen?— doing aside from winning? house he made that happen? i think really, he was a fresh — made that happen? i think really, he was a fresh pair _ made that happen? i think really, he was a fresh pair of _ made that happen? i think really, he was a fresh pair of eyes _ made that happen? i think really, he was a fresh pair of eyes to come - was a fresh pair of eyes to come into the situation and freshen things up a little bit. of course he brings in craig shakespeare as well, a man who is really well respected in leicester. he was part of that coaching staff. he also brings in somebody likejohn terry as a kind of defensive expert, and leicester

were leaking goals like nobody�*s business all season. john has been able to work as a group of —— with the group as a unit but also in individual sessions. really, the group as a unit but also in individualsessions. really, ithink just a fresh pair of eyes, perhaps, because brendan had been there for overfour because brendan had been there for over four years. because brendan had been there for overfouryears. earlier because brendan had been there for overfour years. earlier on, because brendan had been there for overfouryears. earlier on, one win against their rivals nottingham forest was enough to see them go on a really good run. they will hope to do the same now because over the next three or two games, they do look fruitful if they take what they built on the weekend and run with it. ~ built on the weekend and run with it. . , ., , ., it. we shall see. charlie slater, thank yom _ two of the teams, leeds and leicester, are chasing kick—off before them. wolves against crystal palace is the first of the three premier league games tonight, starting at 7.30. both of those teams need points to pull further away from the relegation zone. wolves are just six points

clear of third bottom. palace are another three points better off. the other game sees sixth—placed aston villa at home to fulham in ninth. both sides are chasing european football. that's a 7.45 kick—off. you've heard the cliche six—pointer tonight — it's only fair we talk about title deciders — not that mikel arteta's calling tomorrow night's game that. his arsenal side, who've led the premier league for most of the season, play manchester city at the etihad with five points separating the teams. but city have two games in hand, and the momentum. both managers are keen to stress that nothing is decided tomorrow. it's really important, not decisive, because there's still many tough game for both sides. we have more games to play good but we cannot deny how important it is. we know exactly what we're playing for. it took many months to arrive at this

side of the league. if they win, it depends on them. the destiny will be in their hands, but if you win, the destiny will be in our hands? we knew from the beginning that city were the _ we knew from the beginning that city were the team to beat. they fully deserve _ were the team to beat. they fully deserve that credit. we wanted to dose _ deserve that credit. we wanted to dose that — deserve that credit. we wanted to close that gap as much as we could. we knew— close that gap as much as we could. we knew that we had to go to the etihad _ we knew that we had to go to the etihad. that game is going to be really— etihad. that game is going to be really important. the answer is no. city arsenal is the focus of this week's football news shows, which is available to watch on the iplayer and bbc sport website. talking of titles, burnley,

already promoted, play at blackburn in the east lancashire derby this evening. burnley will be champions if they win whilst victory for blackburn would move them back into the play—off places. richard askam is at ewood park for us. police have urged fans to not let their passions spill—over. the east lancaster derby is already a big deal in this part of the northwest, but there are more than bagging rights at stake. they will clinch the championship title if they beat their... blackburn rovers supporters will be desperate for their team to prevent them to do that, but also getting the points for the right reasons as well. three games to go, if they win today, they have a great chance of finishing in the top six. there will also looking

james has been ruled out after a scan on a hamstring problem, while mount has a pelvic injury. and talking of chelsea, and spurs before that, former tottenham boss mauricio pochettino is in advanced talks to become chelsea's new permanent manager. the 51—year—old is believed to be keen on the role, but more negotiations will take place before any deal is finalised. wimbledon will donate more than half a million pounds to ukraine relief after what the all england club says was the "difficult decision" to lift its ban on russian and belarusian players. it's also going to help fund accommodation for ukrainian players. the ceo of the all england club has been speaking to our tennis correspondent russell fuller. security will be amended to address the type of risk, so rather than specifically heighten it, we might do some slightly different things this year. do some slightly different things this ear. �* . do some slightly different things this ear. . ., , ., do some slightly different things this ear. ., ., ., , this year. and have you already started talking _ this year. and have you already started talking to _ this year. and have you already started talking to groups - this year. and have you already started talking to groups like i started talking to groups like extinction rebellion and just stop

it's certainly a challenge for sport and we after recognise the fact that tenets is a global sport. thinking about the work that the adp are doing on their app which enables players to really understand their own carbon footprint and to look to address it, and we will work with players this year to do that. a great example here is that we have removed an awful lot of single—use plastic bottles and we have got a refillable wattle solution for the players. the uk culture secretary lucy frazer says russian and belarusian athletes who receive state funding must remain excluded from international sport — because they can't be considered neutral. it comes after the international olympic committee recommended that russian and belarusian athletes should be allowed to compete under a neutralflag, though the ioc is yet to make a decision on next yea r�*s paris games. lucy frazer's been speaking at a council of europe hearing today into russian participation

in international sport. this is not about punishing individual athletes. these have dedicated their lives to sport. what we stand _ dedicated their lives to sport. what we stand against his athletes competing to represent the state of russia _ competing to represent the state of russia and belarus. there is a fundamental difference. world snooker championship, he's taken charge of his quarter chasing a record—breaking eighth title at the world snooker championship, he's taken charge of his quarter final against belgium's luca brecel. but things are a lot closer between mark allen and welsh debutant jakjones. hazel irvine is leading the bbc�*s snooker coverage at the crucible. second session is under way at seven. hazel irvine is leading the bbc�*s snooker coverage at the crucible.

of 7—11 celsius. then, as we move through wednesday evening and overnight, it looks like the clouds continue to remain quite thick. some spots of rain pushing to northern ireland, western scotland by the end of the night. again, it's the north—northeast of scotland with the clearer skies which will see some frost elsewhere then, ranging between 1—8 celsius. so, milder air will continue to push up from the south into thursday. this is where we start to see the significant change — one weather front across scotland, another one affecting parts of england and wales. that milder air moving northwards, but it's still not reaching much of scotland, particularly the northern half of scotland. so it does mean this weather front in the north is likely to produce a mixture of sleet and snow certainly over the higher ground — one to watch here. slice of something a bit drier in the middle, and then we've got this area of rain affecting wales, central and southern england. some of this rain could be quite heavy and persistent — a really wet day here. but you'll notice much milder, 11—15 degrees in the south,

still single digits in northern scotland. that rain clears away thursday night in the near continent. a rather benign day, i think, on friday. we're in between weather systems, so limited brightness, quite a lot of cloud around, a few showers here there, but fairly mild. we're into the low to mid—teens for many, still cold for the northern half of scotland. but it turns even wilder into the weekend, particularly where we get some sunshine. we could be up to 18 degrees in the warmest spots, and that could set off a few heavy showers.
