thanks forjoining us. in the premier league, manchester united's amad diallo scored a 12 minute hatrick as his side came from a goal down to beat southampton 3—1 at old trafford. the saints benefitted from an own goal to lead until late on when diallo stole the show and secured all three points which take the red devils up to 12th in the table. the ivorian's heroics come after he agreed a new contract with the club this week and it also eases the pressure on manager ruben amorim. if you train well, good things are going to happen so he has the same responsibility as every player that plays for manchester united

but is having a great moment, he is doing a very good season but like i said, we see this in the past with a lot of players in our squad that he has to continue to work and play like that. i'm so happy to score my first hat—trick, especially at old trafford. for me the most important thing was to win this game, this gives us confidence for the next match. now we have to keep going like this. we have to play like this and i believe in the team. i believe we can win every match so we have to keep going like this and we show at the end we are very good and we have to keep going like this. i am angry but from tomorrow we have to think about - nottingham forest. i think the players have to be conscious they can compete i and play and play well. we have improvement every game

and really good for 75 to 80 - minutes, we are missing - the mentality to win the game, there's a moment you have to be more clever and malicious - in some things, they are - innocent kids in some moments and we lose the game - after control for 75 minutes. brighton made it a first premier league win since november after a 2—0 win at ipswich. fabian hurzeller�*s side will travel to manchester united on sunday revitalised after kaoru mitoma was first on the scoresheet just before the hour mark. georginio rutter came on as a sub and used some nifty footwork to land a second for the south coast side that takes them up to ninth while ipswich move back into the bottom three on goal difference. i think we force that in the first half too much and we were not patient enough. we were not good in our positioning, we changed two or three things and i think in the second half they played with more intensity and pressed better. when more dominant and created more chances, that's why i think we deserved it.

i think we started the second half even better. i thought we had a better team until the goal, i think that was just a moment, we didn't defend well enough to stop the goal and that was a turning point in the game from our point of view. we won't accept that, we need to find a better response. union's six nations begins at the end of the month. all the squads have been announced this week. sione tui—pul—otu was yesterday confirmed as scotland's captain when they kick off their campaign against italy. he's been speaking to paul barnes. i kind of, i suppose, take more responsibility, and ifeel like it fuels my game a little bit when i wear the captain's armband, it feels special to me, 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 of just 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 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 meg 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 choose this year's winner. 2024 was another positive year for women's sport in india, and choosing just five nominees for the bbc award was again a tough call. so who is on the list?

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 — 11 or 12 degrees — 7 or 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.
