it is low pressure moving in but it is bringing some warm air with it and that will mean a milder neighbour misty and murky, so early on, mist and fog to clear and then sunshine but it's a spell of two or three hours of wet weather for us and the met office have a warning out for the north west of england and western scotland and another 30 or 40 western scotland and another 30 or a0 millimetres to come and it eases for a time and you can see there's 15 or 16 and there will be misty low clouds hill fog and coastal fog and another pulse of rain comes into northern ireland and scotland tomorrow evening and it edges its way southwards, and thursday at the moment is looking like a dry day and i think it will be made —— grey and misty first thing in the south coast close to the weather from but then a gentle breeze and some sunshine coming through and quite warm as we are starting to feel the effect of the strong april sunshine so may be between 17 and i9 the strong april sunshine so may be between 17 and 19 but you might have noticed that the next weather front is waiting in the wings, some are very unsettled picture but it does turn cooler again into the weekend.

that's it. you can keep up with the latest balance on the bbc website but now let's join our colleagues for all of the news where you hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm hugh farris. security will be increased at champions league games this week after a media outlet supporting the islamic state group published threats against venues. also coming up on sportsday...

but if i could hold the claretjug whilst wearing a green jacket — you know, while we're dreaming — that would be, for me, a career made. unseasonably warm temperatures hit winter sports — race cancellations at the world cup ski season, so what does the future hold? hello again. this is no ordinary tuesday night in april. for many, tonight is when the champions league really ta kes flight. eight teams left — anyone can play anyone. one thing that doesn't usually happen is that the english teams play on the same night, but you'll have to pick which of manchester city and arsenal you fancy following tonight in their quarter final first leg. and then throw into the mix the second round of matches

in qualifying for the women's euros, with both england and scotland also playing in the next hour or so. uefa say the matches will go ahead, with extra officers being deployed in madrid and paris where a french minister has talked of �*considerably strengthened security�* ahead of psg against barcelona tomorrow night. are any extra potential security risks, we know there are risks in lublin everyday for the week, arsenal fans deserve to be excited about their return to this stage of the champions league. deserve to be excited about the success they are getting, their style of credit play, they are aggressive play. all that stuff is really important and buyer in munich know that. and byron munich seem unusual vulnerable, way off the pace in bundesliga. his

final few weeks off the pace in bundesliga. his finalfew weeks in off the pace in bundesliga. his final few weeks in the post, across the emirates pitch tonight, he'll see a midfielder he'd love to have at byron in the shape of declan rice, just the kind of midfielder he'd tried in vain to get to germany. harry kane who continues to score his goals come what may at bayern munich and he knows, arsenal nose, tottenham days cane has a long—standing goal—scoring against arsenal in particular. defensively, campbell have never played against an arsenal side as strong as this one. just one final point, when the buyer and players do look up into the census evening, they should not be able to see any of their support is banned by ua for after previous pyrotechnic issues. another element to this match which points in the favour of resurgent arsenal.

an absolute classic football match. certainly _ an absolute classic football match. certainly is, and that atmosphere will be amplified with a closed roof, you canjoin us on bbc radio 5 live, bbc sounds, kick off at eight o'clock. the defending champions are in that tough group with france, sweden which they do with it on friday and the republic of ireland, they take on tonight in dublin. they promoted to this group, and i think they, yeah, don't ever underestimate anyone and especially not ireland. they've had one — zero against france which was really good, we suspect that they will be really, there are a physical team, they are very well organised and also they can play the counterattack and of course you're going to try to

take that opportunity and moments that they probably will jump take that opportunity and moments that they probably willjump and press out and we have to be aware of that. rust on the idea that they already got to a stage where it's a must win for england given the strength of their opponents in the group, surely we are not there yet, are we? iuntimely we are not there yet, are we? when ou we are not there yet, are we? when you consider— we are not there yet, are we? when you consider that _ we are not there yet, are we? when you consider that alongside - you consider that alongside england, france and sweden are all ranked inside, finishing in the top two in this group and therefore qualifying automatically, this summer's european championships is always going to be a challenge and certainly not guaranteed. now to england's opening game of the campaign of that frustrating and underwhelming draw with sweden on friday, they know they need to perform tonight. this isn't a must win game, after this evening there are four more fixtures, england will be aware that they afford to give up many more points, it will certainly be a game where they are targeting all three. but these two sides to

know each other very well. many of ireland's players come the w cell and england and their captain who plays for arsenal says it's got england ranked 23 places higher than them, under date they will certainly be targeting and upset this evening. the last time these two sides met with all the way back in 1987, no players from either team were even born then, but a crowd tonight of 30,000 fans are expected. fortunately a very special evening. you've got the ua for distributed team sheet in your hand right now, looking you can start confirm for us that liam williamson is playing? yes, as expected the england captain starts to add that for the first time, she will play for england in a year after rupturing the acl in her need last april. serena bateman has made wholesale changes five in total

including mary earps and goal, not starting tonight. the other players to make five changes and mary earps, georgia stanway and... hannah hampton starts and goal ahead of mary earps and william senedd and probably lead into that... frustrated with that h probably lead into that... frustrated with that 1—1 draw on friday and she's trying to avoid the same happening this evening. thank ou much same happening this evening. thank you much indeed, _ same happening this evening. thank you much indeed, for— same happening this evening. thank you much indeed, for battling - same happening this evening. thank you much indeed, for battling the pa system at the stadium. england have a relative safety net when it comes to qualifying for the finals, as all league a teams do, while scotland, wales and northern ireland are all in league b and will have to battle for a playoff place at best in their groups.

while wales thrash kosovo and... fish log ran out, a record. 1—0. rachel wrote scored from fish log's set a pass, in her long career which he wants most is a tournament. to get to be heroes, wills must win games like this, then the top three in their group go through to the playoffs. it is a tough route, but they are still on track. rpwe again, this was just the second match for the new head coach ree wilkinson, they've won and been emphatic. a

breakthrough in the balkans was northern ireland's name will come away in bosnia and herzegovina they looked to relaunch their complaint.

1,000 australian dollars. and the uk government has written to the presidents of the international olympic committee and international paralympic committee expressing support for them allowing russian and belarusian athletes to compete at the paris games as neutrals. athletes from both countries were banned following russia's invasion of ukraine in february 2022. justin rose has twice finished second at the masters, which had he claimed the green jacket would have been a second major win after his 2013 us open title. he's just moved back to the uk from the states and after taking up residence in the famous golfing town of wentworth. john watson went to visit to take rose down memory lane. so talk us through — if this is the masters, justin, what would you be doing? this is going to play two yards shorter because we're going downhill a little bit. lovely. it's incrementally better, but not... the crowd go wild.

i've got some photos that i wanted you to kind of have a look through. tell us what memories these bring back for you. yeah. fresh—faced kid. obviously, this is, you know, 18th hole, 17—year—old. this is my last—ever shot as an amateur. that jumper was. . .the rage. get in! "get in," they cry. that's a moment that people still remember you for, don't they? as a 17—year—old, that moment at the open. absolutely. and for the longest time, it looked like that was all i was going to be remembered for. there's father. father rose. and then this moment's incredibly important and powerful and special to me. this is me winning the us open on father's day. because your dad died of cancer, didn't he, when you were 22? yes. what impact did that have on you at the time? yeah, i mean, that was a very, very tough time in my life, for sure.

yeah, he was my coach until i turned pro. we spent hours upon hours upon hours together. so, yeah, he was an incredibly influential part of my life. but to win the us open — one of golf�*s biggest tournaments — on father's day... yeah. ..and you recognise your dad, having just won. yeah. there's. .. there's something in that, isn't there? it was like he was standing next to me. it was that feeling of closeness that i hadn't experienced for a number of years, since he'd passed, that was a special as winning the tournament. like, he could have been right there. it was very cool. what would he have said to you if he was? "about time, come on!" do you drive as well as you play golf, justin? talk to us about the masters — is there any tournament in the world quite like it? i mean, no, there isn't. the masters is something special, and it's a cross between the chelsea flower show and a golf tournament. i think it's the only major championship, as well, that we play at the same venue. you know, obviously, if you win the open championship, you know, you win it, but the following year you're defending that claretjug at a different venue. i'll grab the flag. this is the moment. 0k. i basically had this putt to win

the masters before — 2017 was very similar to this. and the puttjust stayed high and touched the right edge on the way past. so it's quite astonishing that i didn't win the tournament. drains it! oh, look at that. so he's made it look so easy. 0h! yeah. convincing. never a doubt. to get one of those special green jackets you're presented with if you win it, is that the greatest achievement? for me, being a british golfer, i still think to have the claretjug sitting on my dining—room table — i still think that is the ultimate. but if i could hold the claretjug whilst wearing a green jacket — you know, while we're dreaming — that would be, for me, a career made.

all will ryder cup team—mate matt fitzpatrick and the american nick dunlap, and tiger woods is being grouped with australianjason day and fellow american max thoma, the fourth to last grouped around half six in the evening on thursday, rory mcelroy mid—afternoon, full details for all the groupings are on the bbc sport website. tiger woods will play only the second event of his year at augusta, his 26 the parents in a career that has brought five green jackets. this tournament has meant so much to me in my life, and my family, i've been playing here for 29 years now and it has... it was the ultimate to

be able to stay in the crows nest and to watch byron and sam and jean tee off on the first hole, and it's been a part of my life to have one here as my first major as a pro. my dad as you saw, and full circle, then hug my son, it's meant a lot to my family. it's meant a lot to me and i always want to keep playing this and today we've got a chance to play with fred, fred is been here very long time and we're joking that he's the oldest person ever to make a cut. and i think he can do it again this year, so it's great. that's the neat thing about this golf course and we play on the same side, same venue each and every year, and we get to tell stories and

catch up with friends and for me get a chance to catch up with idols and people i've looked up to my entire life. �* , ., people i've looked up to my entire life. i ., people i've looked up to my entire life. �*, ., , , life. he's done some pretty extraordinary _ life. he's done some pretty extraordinary things - life. he's done some pretty| extraordinary things before, life. he's done some pretty - extraordinary things before, much more from augusta as we say, bringing the best of the action from today's tennis. it's the opening tournament of the clay court season on the men's tour, and jack draper has been knocked out of the monte carlo masters in the first round by tenth seed hubert hurkacz — losing in a deciding set tie—break. cam norrie and dan evans went out at the same stage yesterday. top seed novak djokovic is safley through to the second round. the world number one lostjust three games as he swept aside russia's roman saffiullin, winning 6—1, 6—2 in his first match in just under a month. but carlos alcaraz has withdrawn from monte carlo because of a forearm injury. his place in the second round will go to lorenzo sonego, who will play alcaraz�*s original opponent felix auger aliassime tomorrow.

britain's most successful alpine skier has a couple of suggestions for the future of his sport in the face of climate change. one is go higher. the other might be to go indoors. skiing needs to move with the terms within seeger�*s and a blue warm temperatures heating the world cup season this time, that's his speciality. the second to last race that was cancelled was 800 metres and marge, it's never been great there in the past but this year it was cancelled, so we're definitely going to have to move with the times the times

but as governing body, they have to think about their impact as well. it is something at the forefront of their plans, changing schedules, making it less travel, etc. it is coming but this year was maybe a season too late. it would go to higher altitudes first. we are still on glaciers in the summer with the snow, in the winter there's going to be snow but however i see it going to the higher venues in the winter and unfortunately a lot of the classic skiing majors, they are at lower altitudes so they might have to change or rethink about it. but i'm a believer in technology, i believe that humans always adopt and do find solutions, so i think, yeah, new technology is more efficient small making, less pollution in the world, but that obviously comes from a government level of notjust in the

west, also around the world. so i think solutions will be found eventually, will it be quick enough, i don't know, but i'm a believer that technology will come about to make it, make the sport sustainable into the future. higher altitude, yes. i don't think they'll have to go indoors, but yeah, saudi arabia are building some mighty indoor ski slopes, so yeah. there's some pretty blue skies above the bay this evening, the emirates maybe not so much. we've had some news come ahead of those champions league, firstly in my dream, phil hogan starts for manchester city, as does erling holland. jack grealish gets a rest, that's for manchester city, jude billingham starts for real madrid company while at the emirates, martinelli, albert, start

for arsenal while harry kane starts, a former spurs players in the bayern munich side against arsenal, you can find out full line—ups and more on the bbc sport app, sport app, orfrom our website — that's bbc.co.uk/sport. from me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, england at 730 and scotland at 735, you might need for television screens and just as many radios. that's it for now. bye. hello. tuesday was another wet, windy and fairly wild day of weather for many of us. we've had some really big waves around the coast, some coastal flooding, too, across parts of southern england and wales. this was the picture

in new brighton, in wirral earlier on in the day. but the strongest of the winds, the heaviest of rain will be easing fairly quickly. so turning much quieter tonight and colder, especially in the east. as low pressure clears away into the north sea we've got this ridge of high pressure with us, at least temporarily, before the next weather system arrives. but under the clearing skies through this evening and tonight, those temperatures are going to drop quite quickly. so by the time we get to the early hours of wednesday morning, especially for central and eastern parts of scotland, central and eastern england, too — those temperatures 2—3 degrees in some of our urban areas, but a touch cooler that in the countryside. so i think a touch of frost around in the east. so the cold air mass with us. but it's not going to be long until this next area of milder air works in from the west behind this weather front, it's a warm front. it's going to track its way eastwards through wednesday, bringing rain, i think at times to all areas. best of any sunshine will be through the morning for eastern scotland and eastern england. there's the cloud and the rain, then tracking eastwards, the wind picking up from the southwest. so it's going to be a breezy day on wednesday. gusts up to around 30 miles an hour orso inland,

perhaps a bit stronger than that around some coastal areas. but it won't be quite as windy as it has been during monday and tuesday. the heaviest of the rain will be across the north west of scotland here. but temperatures on the rise from the west so belfast up to around 16 degrees or so, probably one of the warmest spots on wednesday. moving through into thursday then, we have got that milder air with us because the winds are going to be coming in from more of a westerly direction. not much on this weather front. you can see here it will be easing away, but it could well bring some low cloud and drizzliness in the south to start the day. probably the best of the brightness on thursday will be for parts of north east england and eastern scotland. but i think most places should brighten up through the day. again, a bit of a breeze coming in from the west or the southwest and lifting temperatures to 18 or 19 degrees for some of us. so it's looking a bit milder on thursday and that milder trend continues into friday as well. but look at the blue colours that then return as we head through sunday and into next week. so temporarily some slightly warmer weather on the cards, particularly towards the south, 19, 20 degrees in london. more unsettled, though, further north. and then we're all going to see

those temperatures dropping down as we head through the course of next week. bye— bye.
