time for a look at the weather, here's stav danaos. thank you very much, good afternoon tea. unsettled for the rest of this week, it is going to ramp up further the weekend, we get a name to storm with dale's pretty widespread across the country. quite breezy this afternoon, but sunshine around, we are in between where systems, this is tonight and tomorrow's low pressure system. we are in between systems, wind is not quite as strong, but still windy into the channel. further note it will stay rather cloudy, chilly across scotland, single figure values there, but in the teens across the south, so pretty mild when you get sunshine. that wet and windy weather spreads north this evening and

overnight, and we might see some significant snow on the hills of scotland as it stays cold, but very much milderfurther south. blustery for all areas. much milderfurther south. blustery forallareas. it much milderfurther south. blustery for all areas. it could cause some impact across central and northern scotland, the snow, even down to moderate levels, 100 metres, but it will be reverting slowly back to rain through the latter part of the day as milder air begins to get into southern scotland anyway. for the rest of the country, a blustery day tomorrow with sunshine and showers, most of the showers towards the north and west. a little bit milder, 18 degrees in the south—east with sunny spells, temperatures still chilly across scotland, but not as chilly across scotland, but not as chilly as today. so here it is for the weekend, deepening low pressure moving to the west of ireland has been named by the irish met service in storm kathleen, bringing some impact to the far west of the uk. very mild as spreading northwards up towards northern scotland, the

northern isles. widespread gales across northern areas, up to 70 mph across northern areas, up to 70 mph across the windiest parts of south—west scotland and northern ireland, the strongest winds across western island. —— western ireland. some extremely mild air, feeling locally warm, up to 21 degrees, so warm and windy this weekend, it will feel bizarre, i think. the storm passes to the north—west of the country, so another blustery day for all, with gales to the north—west, not as windy as saturday, but more showers in the mix, sunny spells, blustery showers towards the west. again mild, but not as warm as saturday. into next week, we hold onto the unsettled theme with wet and windy weather at times, followed by sunshine and showers, signs of something a bit prior towards the end of the week. —— a bit drier. and that's bbc news at 0ne. now it's time to join our colleagues for the news where you are. goodbye.

hello and welcome to sportsday, i'm anne—marie batson. anfield takes centre stage, asjurgen klopp�*s liverpool look to regain top spot, in what is a fascinating premier league title race the top singles and doubles players on the women's tour will meet at the wta finals in saudi arabia for the next three years, with record prize money on offer. more success in new zealand for england's women, as tammy beaumont leads them to another series win. welcome to the programme. it's going to be a pulsating final six weeks to the premier league season, with three teams

chasing the title. it's been a decade since three teams have been vying to finish top. that spot is currently occupied by arsenal, after they beat luton 2—0 at the emirates last night, putting them back in first place on goal difference for today at least. third place manchester city are breathing down their necks though, a stunning phil foden hat—trick helped them beat fourth—place aston villa 4—1, and leave them a point behind those above them. attention now turns to anfield, with liverpool hosting sheffield united tonight, knowing a win would see them return to the top of the pile. jurgen klopp�*s side know the title is in their hands. if they win their remaining nine games, starting with tonight, they will win the title, but the liverpool boss doesn't care if people call them the favourites. 0ne one of the most important things is to get through this period, just to ignore the outside mess. we have to

be professional and we have to be emotional but in the right way. we have to be the best version of ourselves and we have to try and play the best football we can play and see what the outcome is. that's not the only match to come tonight, chelsea also host manchester united. the hosts have games in hand which could put them into contention for a european qualification spot, while erik ten hag's side are 11 points off that coveted fourth place. we have a fantastic team and they have fantastic players and we play excellent football so they can beat everyone in they already showed in this league. sometimes you are not playing good but we are man united and we still have to win. i think we are chelsea, we need to behave like chelsea. we need to behave that we want to be belong to a big club. it's not an excuse to be an experienced player or young. we need to behave because then we

need to defend our badge and apply for our club and to perform. some good news for the lionesses. leah williamson is is "fit and ready" to make a return for the first time in a year, when england play sweden on friday. that according to manager sarina wiegman. 0ur reporter emma sanders was at this morning's press conference and training for us. the manager and lucy bronze have spoken— the manager and lucy bronze have spoken to — the manager and lucy bronze have spoken to the media ahead of england's crucial euro qualifier against — england's crucial euro qualifier against sweden at wembley tomorrow i'iili'it against sweden at wembley tomorrow night and _ against sweden at wembley tomorrow night and they will train here before — night and they will train here before heading down to london this afternoon _ before heading down to london this afternoon and all 23 players are out on the _ afternoon and all 23 players are out on the pitch and that includes leah williamson. she has not played for a year for— williamson. she has not played for a year for england after suffering that acl — year for england after suffering that acl injury that ruled out of the tast— that acl injury that ruled out of the last years were a couple she is fit and _ the last years were a couple she is fit and ready and manager says that if you _ fit and ready and manager says that if you come — fit and ready and manager says that if you come through this final training — if you come through this final training session we will hopefully see her— training session we will hopefully see her back in the squad and if she plays— see her back in the squad and if she plays she _ see her back in the squad and if she plays she will captain the side in the sports — plays she will captain the side in the sports arena had to say earlier.

yes, this was the worst kept secret in tennis if you like. there was a possibility that the wta finals will be staged in riyadh late last year but in the end the wta decided to go to the mexican resort of cancun where it wasn't an altogether successful event and now a three—year deal for saudi arabia to stage it in the capital riyadh and the prize money will increase slightly in years two and three in this year's some instance of a $15 million, just over £12 million and thatis million, just over £12 million and that is some significant because it is fractionally more than the atp were offering for last year's end of season atp finals and it's very much in line with the wta's drive to try and create equal prize money, virtually across the board by 2033 but it will not come without its criticism. chris everett and martina

navratilova penned an article for the washington post injanuary and they felt that a decision like this would be a step back, notjust for when the's sport but for women in general. when the's sport but for women in ueneral. . , ., when the's sport but for women in ueneral. ., , ., ., when the's sport but for women in ueneral. ., i. ., ., when the's sport but for women in ueneral. ., ., ., ., ., when the's sport but for women in ueneral. . ., ., ., ., general. can you go over again those fiuures in general. can you go over again those figures in terms _ general. can you go over again those figures in terms of _ general. can you go over again those figures in terms of the _ general. can you go over again those figures in terms of the increase - general. can you go over again those figures in terms of the increase in . figures in terms of the increase in prize money? because it's a huge jump. prize money? because it's a huge “um -. ~ , prize money? because it's a huge “um. ~ , , ., jump. when the fines were staged in cannes goon — jump. when the fines were staged in cannes goon in _ jump. when the fines were staged in cannes goon in november, - jump. when the fines were staged in cannes goon in november, there - jump. when the fines were staged in i cannes goon in november, there were problems with the court, the players were not happy and the prize money to you and me sounded very healthy, it was $9 million but that was down to a $14 million prize fund offered by the chinese authorities in the when you are ultimately to be staged in shenzhen so to deliver record prize money is certainly a step forward and something that the wta can point to as they try and bring about this goal of equal prize money but steve simon, the chief executive of the wta knows there would be criticism in some quarters, although the players have been either very

supportive or not spoken out against it for the most part, but he knows he will need to justify his decision and his argument is that by going to riyadh, tennis is supporting growth and improvement and change across the region. the and improvement and change across the reuion. ~ �* and improvement and change across the reuion. ~ ~ ., , ., the region. the wta finals heading to saudi arabia _ the region. the wta finals heading to saudi arabia and _ the region. the wta finals heading to saudi arabia and for _ the region. the wta finals heading to saudi arabia and for more - the region. the wta finals heading to saudi arabia and for more you . to saudi arabia and for more you can head to the bbc sport website. swimming now and matt richards went fastest in the mens 100m freestyle heats at the british swimming championships in the last half an hour. you can watch the final of that on the bbc iplayer from seven. katie shanahan will have the opportunity to qualify for paris in the women's 400 metre individual medley, afterfinishing fastest in the heats. freya colbert, who is already set for the olympics in the 200 metre freestyle but prefers this event, was second quickest this morning. let's go to cricket now and there's been more success for england's women in new zealand.

tammy beaumont scored 81 as they claimed a series—clinching 56—run win over new zealand in the second one—day international. the opener shared a 70—run partnership with captain heather knight as england laid the foundations for a big total. but new zealand hit back and, after losing 6—59, england needed a quick 48 from amyjones to get take them up to a competitive 252 all out. ultimately, new zealand fell well short of that target, ending on 196. nat siver brunt was the pick of england's bowlers, taking three for 21, but beaumont took the spotlight with a player of the match performance. as an opening batter you always want more and in the situation i was in, i needed to be the player that plays a senior role and bad longer but unfortunately and fortunately we got some like amyjones and the tail and me getting out didn't cause too much drama is an adjustment that somebody else got an opportunity to score some runs and i thought she batted

beautifully. before we go, just a reminder of our top story on sportsday. liverpool have the chance to return to the top of the league later, saudi arabia will host the wta finals for the next three years and offer record prize money of over 12 million pounds. plenty more reaction to that over on the bbc sport website. for me and plenty more build up to that game tonight, and manchester united's trip to chelsea, over on hello i'm luxmy gopal. first some breaking news. planned strikes by london underground drivers this monday — that's the 8th of april — and saturday may fourth have been called off, the aslef union has announced. the union said that after a series of meetings its negotiating team has received a proposal that resolves

the key issues in the dispute. but other rail strikes are still due to go ahead. parts of the country will have no train services on friday because of a fresh strike by drivers in a long—running pay dispute. members of aslef at avanti west coast, crosscountry, east midlands railway, west midlands railway and london northwestern will walk out. the nhs is struggling to cope with a huge rise in people seeking an autism or adhd diagnosis — that's according to new research from the health think tank nuffield trust. let's take a quick look at the latest figures. since 2019, there has been a 400% rise in people waiting to see an autism specialist and a 51% increase in prescriptions for adhd medication. let's speak to professor sir simon wessely. he's a regius professor of psychiatry at king's college london and nonexecutive director on nhs england board. thank you forjoining us. what do

recognition because this kind of explosion in graphs that have been showing people but it looks like the north side of the matterhorn, it's a dramatic increase in what gps are telling us or the nhs boards is people are now coming along, particularly adults and they are not always looking for treatment and they're coming along with lots of different stories and they are looking really for validation that they are not, but this is real, that they are not, but this is real, that they need support they need reassurance and expedition were not necessarily treatment. this is how they are, this is how they have been and it is that where we are seeing the explosion and also sometimes treatments in some young men. we have seen nearly 200% increase in prescriptions in a very short period of time. . , , prescriptions in a very short period of time. ., , , ., ., ., of time. that is very alarming. you mentioned — of time. that is very alarming. you mentioned that _ of time. that is very alarming. you mentioned that what _ of time. that is very alarming. you mentioned that what the _ of time. that is very alarming. you mentioned that what the graph - of time. that is very alarming. you i mentioned that what the graph would look like. we have shown a graph of
