jo currie is with us.1— well, our women's sports reporter jo currie is with us. jo, what kind of opponents will ajax be for chelsea? they knew they were going to point to plaintiff is the other three big hitters but in terms of ajax, it's not going to be an easy game at all in terms of getting of finished second i of byron munich which was very big set up and favourites and their finalists in 2021 very big set up and favourites and theirfinalists in 2021 but very big set up and favourites and their finalists in 2021 but as very big set up and favourites and theirfinalists in 2021 but as emma said, it is certainly not a given victory. said, it is certainly not a given victo . ,, ' ., , ., ~ ., victory. stuffer game is weaker than exected victory. stuffer game is weaker than exnected from _ victory. stuffer game is weaker than expected from the _ victory. stuffer game is weaker than expected from the quarterfinals - victory. stuffer game is weaker than expected from the quarterfinals but| expected from the quarterfinals but it is the stage important for us going on from home in the first leg and we need to use all of our experience because i think ajax of proven that they really deserve to be where they are. we know this is her last season.

last chance at this trophy for a while — what did emma hayes say about her potential replacement? a former england international said they would be a good fit as the new chelsea women's manager and she batted away like she backs away every time you might replace her, she since she has nothing to do with the replacement process it has full trust in the club, whoever they choose and chill happily end of the keys at the end of the season. thank ou much. we're at the business end of the africa cup of nations, with the semi—finals starting tomorrow in ivory coast. it's been a fascinating tournament so far, with four managers being dismissed from their posts, the defending champions senegal and world cup semi—finalists morocco both going out. so what can we expect from the hosts who are up against the democratic republic of congo and nigeria against south africa? our world football reporterjon bennett is in abjijan.

the hosts ivory coast have had a bumpyjourney up til now, how will they do against dr congo? it is so difficult to predict, it's been a bumpyjourney and almost went out on the group stage in their minutes away from going out on the last 16 and there were seconds of going out on the quarterfinals in the quarterfinals and here they are in the semifinals and have to say they sapped their managers well during this tournament and it is difficult to see what in the city feel it is destiny for them to win this trophy after all that is happened and there is strong team with lots of motivation and they want revenge because they were knocked out by ivory coast in reaching the semifinals back in 2015 and expect some dry months and turns in ivory coast or an action expect

but is so impressive for the eagles and they could never write them off in the sport. and they could never write them off in the sport-— in the sport. thank you very much for that update. _ let's take a look at some of the other football news stories making the headlines. semi—finals of the asian cup is taking place. jordan v south korea the other semi—final between iran and qatar takes place tomorrow. a blow for scotland in the six nations — lock richie gray and back row luke crosbie will both miss the rest of the tournament after sustaining injuries in the dramatic opening win over wales. gray has damaged a bicep, while crosbie has a shoulder problem. full—back blair kinghorn is expected to miss saturday's home match with france with a continuing knee issue. thejockey club has announced that the time for this year's grand national will change from 5.15 to 4pm for safety reasons. it's thought a long build up heightens tensions for the horses and a later time can mean the racing surface dries out.

94 horses have been entered for the 176th aintree event. australia have completed a 3—0 one—day international series heather watson is through to the second round of the abu dhabi open after a straight sets victory over ninth seed veronika kuder—met—ova. watson will face spaniard cristina buc—sha in the next round. lewis have won bronze in the ten metre sink after an impressive fifth dive. a hearing into a complaint of inappropriate behaviour made against red bull formula 1 team boss christian horner will take place on friday. bbc sport understands the claims relate to an allegation of inappropriate and controlling behaviour. red bull has not confirmed

the nature of the complaint, but said they took the allegations "extremely seriously" and have begun an investigation. horner has told a dutch newspaper that he completely denies the claims. world heavyweight champion oleksandr usyk has told the bbc he's still looking forward to fighting tyson fury after their bout was postponed until may 18th. usyk missed the birth of his daughter while training for the original date and if fury. who had to call it off after a cut to his eye. isn't fit for the rearranged match, usyk will face the ibf�*s mandatory challenger. that will either be anthonyjoshua or filip hrgovic. but uskyk told ade adedoyin that he still wants to mix it with tyson. don't be afraid. i will not leave you alone. no matter how difficult it is for you to sacrifice being

there for the birth of your daughter and then this happens. unhappy. because things happen. it's life and i'm very happy because ukraine, i see my daughter my wife. to i'm very happy because ukraine, i see my daughter my wife.- i'm very happy because ukraine, i see my daughter my wife. to be the undis - uted see my daughter my wife. to be the undisputed champion, _ see my daughter my wife. to be the undisputed champion, how- see my daughter my wife. to be the l undisputed champion, how important is that for you?— is that for you? when i was young, 1617, i is that for you? when i was young, 1617, i think. — is that for you? when i was young, 1617, | think, wow, _ is that for you? when i was young, 1617, | think, wow, |— is that for you? when i was young, 1617, i think, wow, i was— is that for you? when i was young, | 1617, i think, wow, i was undisputed champion, wow. and now it is possible and i and tyson, we will box undisputed. let's make history. it's the super bowl on sunday,

but the official festivities have already begun in las vegas. the monday beforeis called "opening night" and — what used to be players and coaches simply doing media appearances — has now become a huge spectical. there were 23 thousand fans to welcome the teams into alleegiant stadium where the kansas city chiefs and san francisco 49ers will return for the game on sunday. both are familiar with the occasion, this is the chiefs fourth super bowl in just five years. but for one player it's completely new. 49ers quarter back brock purdy was the last pick of the draft in 2022 — he was nicknamed mr irrelevant — but he'll be up against one of the game's greats — patrick mahomes — for the lombardi trophy. a lot of people have been through this weather is to this 19 and other

teams that have been the super bowl in the bottom line is you have a lot of stuff going on in the media and whenever you get downtime, how can i study and be watching film, whether it's on the bus ride back to her from and we your hotel room and taking care of your body, all of those things get you back in the mindset of afterplay game here every three hours, can i be my best? well, purdy also talked about preparing for his impending wedding by dancing to country music, could it have been early taylor swift? the pop star will be a story throughout super bowl week — she's attempting to travel back from a concert in tokyo to be there in time to watch her boyfriend travis kelce play for the chiefs. the relationship has dominated the headlines so much that it's even led to conspiracy theories about the super bowl itself being fixed. and, while kelce is one of the sport's most famous names, he appreciates that still doesn't quite compare to the global influence of his girlfriend.

i don't know if i brought too much to the game, i discovered there and have fun and taylor has an unbelievable fan base and certain supports throughout her life and it is gathering the swift is in the kingdom and the football world, the sports world and is experiencing all of that. �* , ., sports world and is experiencing all ofthat. �* , of that. anyone in the society, when the are of that. anyone in the society, when they are in — of that. anyone in the society, when they are in a — of that. anyone in the society, when they are in a proper _ of that. anyone in the society, when they are in a proper position - of that. anyone in the society, when they are in a proper position and - they are in a proper position and subject— they are in a proper position and subject to — they are in a proper position and subject to criticism and the fact that this, — subject to criticism and the fact that this, this is not descriptive preplanned, that's nonsense. it's not even — preplanned, that's nonsense. it's not even worth talking about. and two people are really happy and having _ two people are really happy and having fun together and i think that is wonderful. and they're both wonderful people and the fact that they're _ wonderful people and the fact that they're both involved in football in some _ they're both involved in football in some fashion in this relationship, that is_ some fashion in this relationship, that is great. we welcome that.

for watching and goodbye for now. hello there. good evening. the mild spring—like temperatures now thing of the past with much colder air sinking southwards across the uk. we saw some heavy snow today across parts of shetland, blizzard like conditions here, coastal gales too, across the far north of scotland and some heavy rain pushing southwards on this cold front along with colder air towards the north. that milder air still hanging on towards the far south coast of england where we'll still see some heavy downpours of rain just gradually pushing southwards as we head through this evening. the rain eventually clearing away into the channel by tomorrow morning. and some more snow showers just pushing southwards and eastwards across western scotland, maybe across parts of northern ireland. here, an ice risk into the start of the day. tomorrow temperatures dipping below freezing, otherwise low single figures. it's a chilly start to the day,

but still a legacy of cloud across the south coast as we head through much of wednesday morning, maybe one or two light showers, but it's a much quieter looking day of weather on wednesday. there will be lots of brightness around some sunshine towards the north, some snow showers wintry across the hills once again for parts of western scotland and maybe one or two wintry showers for northern ireland as well. temperatures lower 4—8 degrees celsius for most. so mild across the far south—west. the rain returns, it's pushing northwards as a warm front as we head throughout wednesday night and into thursday. and as that bumps into the colder feeling air, it could possibly tend to snow, especially across northern ireland, north wales and northern england as we head through thursday morning. we're most likely to see some accumulations over the hills, but even to lower levels, there could be a couple of centimetres of snowfall perhaps, but it could turn quite quickly back to sleet and then to rain. there's a met office, a yellow weather warning in force valid from 6:00 on thursday morning until 6:00 on friday. so do be aware that there could be some snowfall, particularly in those areas. it's all driven by this area of low pressure, mild air
