if you know what i mean. and i like to think maybe the added responsibility, the added pressure, fuels my game and my mindset to want to perform at the highest level. and i love it. i love rocking up to game day, knowing that your team's going to be looking at you to lead the way. and, yeah, isuppose you just put, i do anyways, try and put a little bit more pressure on myself and a little bit more responsibility to try and perform for your for your team—mates. it's been a long, long time since scotland have won the championship, the five nations as it was back then. what can we expect from scotland this year? i just want the public to know that we'll be... we're really focussed on this first game against italy. you know, this is something... this is a game that we got wrong last year in the championship and it ended up hurting, you know where we finished. we know italy are a really class outfit. and, you know, they gave us a lot of trouble last year. it's something that we want to fix and we want to show how much we've grown since since that tournament. so there's no promises for me or anything. it's just i'm excited to show the public how much we've grown. tell me about your passion for scotland because that's

evident when we see you play. it means a lot to you. but for certain parts of your life, australia might have been the dream. you know, i've never shied away from that at all. that i grew up in australia wanting to be a wallaby. that's my dream that i've played junior wallabies, but my career didn't turn out how i thought it would when i was a kid and scotland gave me an opportunity to, you know, represent some of my parts of my heritage. and i suppose when i got here, i kind of made the decision that i wasn't going to do anything half way. you know, like, if i was going to play for scotland, i was going to try and play for scotland properly. i didn't want to finish up at ten caps or 15 caps, and i wanted to go all in and try and, you know, become a player that will be remembered in this country. and i think that all got kind of tied together during the autumn when my gran could come get to watch. and i suppose what was really nice for me was people got to put the face to the stories of my heritage, and i think people were quite surprised how really scottish my grandma is. and it was nice for me to, you know, for people to finally see my story rather than just

just hear about it. and, yeah, now ijust kind of feel i've almost been here for four years now, and it's my home and it's where my son's born, and i'm fully attached to the country, to my club here in glasgow. and i suppose the one way that i can show that is not by getting up and tell everyone how, you know, passionate i am. it's really about showing them. and that's always been the way that i've thought about it is i feel like anyone can get up here and say how passionate they are about something, but i want people to see how passionate i am when i play. so i just want to continue to on thatjourney ofjust showing people. now to the women's six nations, and it's all change for england, in preparation for a huge year ahead and a world cup on home soil. zoe aldcroft was named as the new captain last week, taking overfrom marlie packer, who's now a vice captain alongside meg jones. aldcroft�*s been speaking to us for the first time in her new role and says she wants to lead by example. obviously it has its nerve

racking side, like can i do this? am i the right person for thejob? within that this? am i the right person for the job? within that i want to drive this team to where we want to go and i think i'm surrounded by so many great leaders in the leadership team and also the girls in general have got so many great individuals and i thinkjust being able to be supported by the likes of mag is incredible and i think we can really drive this team to something incredible. rory mcilroy is five shots off the pace after the opening round of the dubai desert classic as he bids to win the title for the third successive time. the northern irishman chipped in on the par three seventh hole as he finished the round on two under with a group of three players out in front on five under par including us amateur david ford. the 22—year—old is the number six ranked amateur in the world and shots like this have him well placed. voting is now open for the bbc indian sportswoman of the year award, and shortly i'll give you details of how you can help

but it was a different story across the midlands — we had quite a lot of fog in the morning that lifted to low grey cloud. the misty conditions lingered, and for parts of hereford and worcestershire, well, temperatures only climbed just up to four celsius. it was also quite windy, and there was a weak weather front bringing some outbreaks of showery rain to the northwest of scotland. but most of us under the influence of high pressure, and with light winds and that high pressure is going to stay with us for the next few days, further areas of fog could be an issue as well. that could bring poor visibility and, if it lingers, it will also impact the temperatures once again. the fog shouldn't be too widespread, though, on friday — it lifts quite readily, and we're chasing cloud amounts around, particularly for england and wales. still quite a fresh wind up into the far north and west. still outbreaks of drizzly rain from that weak weather front. but temperatures here ii—i2 celsius — 7—8 perhaps a maximum across england and wales. now, as we move out of friday into saturday, still under this area of high pressure, it's blocking this weather

front from making that much of an impression, but still the isobars squeeze together the further north and west. so, more wind, more cloud here. but for england and wales, it could be quite a cold start to saturday morning — temperatures dipping below freezing, and there will be some fog around, and some of that fog has the potential to linger all day across central and eastern parts of england, and also parts of wales. if that happens, it will have quite an impact on the temperature. the wind out to the west breaking the cloud up. there will be some sunny spells, and again those temperatures at 10 or 11 degrees. but where the fog lingers, we once again could see a maximum ofjust four or five. moving out of saturday into sunday, the wind direction changes again, and it's a cooler source, dragging in some cooler air from the near continent. so that means a colder day for all of us. this weather front still being kept out into the west. it is going to arrive

on monday, but before that, potentially, sunday could be a cold, cloudy, murky day for many of us. until then, take care.

live from singapore, this is bbc news. benjamin netanyahu says israel has now agreed to the ceasefire deal with hamas — with a vote expected on friday. hundreds of trucks carrying aid are lined—up at the gaza border waiting for the green light to enter the territory.
