that is a very beautiful image. it is to compensate for the grey, chilly weather at the moment, although it is not grey everywhere, it is lovely and sunny across much of western scotland, northern ireland, west wales, south—west england, that is what we will see the next few days, chilly air, as such i'd further west, grey further east because of the northerly wind feeding in clouds town the north sea coast. northern ireland, west wales, south—west england to western scotland have the best of the sunshine and the best of the temperatures, into the mid—teens, but distinctly chilly and further east with more cloud, thick enough for spots of rain into the south—east and the odd shower for south—west england too —— south—east england. up to 15 in glasgow, almost tropical, further east, down the

north sea coasts, six to nine celsius, pretty cold for the time of year. this evening and overnight a few showers into north sea coasts and more of a breeze, we have a clear skies further north and west where we will see that lowest temperatures, a touch of frost for northern england into scotland, two to 5 degrees in the cloud. for wednesday, the best of the sunshine towards northern and western areas, more cloud down the north sea coast, one or two showers, even a wintry element in the higher ground towards the north—east of england. single figure values here, further west, into the mid—teens or close to the mid—teens with plenty of sunshine. subtle changes on thursday, two areas of low pressure began to close in, increasing the cloud amount and the shower activity. the air is cold enough for some sleet and snow over the hills of northern england and scotland through thursday, would you

believe, but the northern ireland, england and wales, a mixture of bright spells and rain showers, temperatures around the low to mid—teens in the brighter spots, chilly in the north sea coasts. through friday into the weekend, low pressure will start to take over, moving from the south, bringing fresh salad south—easterly winds which will cut off the arctic air supply and drive in something less cold and slightly milder from the south. temperatures will be rising this weekend into the start of next week, but it comes with low pressure and the chance of more rain around too. that is how it is looking. thanks, stav. and that's bbc news at one. now it's time to join our colleagues for the news where you are. goodbye. hello and welcome to sportsday, i'm paul scott at the bbc sport centre.

the war of words between nottingham forest and footballing authorities rumbles on, after the club questioned the integrity of the var in their defeat at everton on sunday. both the fa and pgmol are investigating the comments. (tx forest questioned the integrity of the match officials who did not award them three penalties against everton, accusing the var of being a luton supporter, who are forest's relegation rivals. forest have asked for the audio of discussions between the var and the referee to be released. it's another var controversy in a season that seems to have had it's fair share. i never question the integrity, we talk about their incompetence at times because of their opinion and you havejust mentioned times because of their opinion and you have just mentioned the subjectivity of the law. the handball law is a mess and does not help referees and when we start looking at toenail offside
1:38 pm
decisions, whatever the system we're going to use and we're going to a semiautomated system next season hopefully, it is going to create controversy because the law itself needs to be revised to entertainment in the modern game. we all want technology in order to aid the quality of refereeing decisions. that is why i brought the communication kit and goal—line technology. we took very great care about the criteria of operation. with var we are seeing inconsistency during a weekend and week to week. it is not working for me anywhere near the quality of what is required. there will be contrasting moods across the city of milan today after inter beat city rivals milan at the san siro last night to seal

the serie a title inter knew a win would seal the deal and they took the lead in the 18th minute. veteran defender francesco acerbi with the opener. the party was in full swing four minutes in to the second half, when france international marcus thuram made it 2—0. fikayo tomori pulled one back for milan, but it was too little too late. there were three red cards in injury time as tempers boiled over. these were the scenes at the piazza del duomo in the centre of milan last night. it's the first time the title has been decided by the milan derby, and it's the 20th time inter have claimed the scudetto — their first in three years. ding junhui and jack lisowski have put on a great exhibition in the first session of their first round match at the world snooker championship many predicted that this would be the tie of the round and so far it hasn't disappointed.. lisowski just has his nose

dominic dale is back at the crucible for the first time in ten years but his first session was disappointing. kyren wilson produced a superb performance to take a commanding 8—1 lead. he only needs two more frames when the match resumes on wednesday morning to reach round two. now, finally, german sebastian steudtner holds the world record for the largest wave surfed by a man. his ride back in portugal in 2020 measured 26.21 metres or 86 feet. but he's now awaiting confirmation that he might have bettered it at the same location. it's believed his latest effort might have seen him ride at a height of 28.57 metres — over 90 metres. he's been speaking to the bbc.

1:43 pm
to africa have been met with fierce criticism, but the bill, which designates rwanda a safe country, was approved overnight. ealier, my colleague sarah campbell spoke to a panel of experts who answered some of your questions on the bill. we were joined by drjoelle grogan, who's a senior researcher at the academic think tank uk in a changing europe, our correspondent simonjones in dover and our africa correspondent barbara plett usher in kigali, rwanda. we started by asking dr grogan how the bill will work? to understand how the bill works or what is soon to be law works, we have to understand the underlying asylum system that we now have, this is a brand—new assignment system as ofjuly 2023. very simply it says if a person who wants to
1:44 pm
claim asylum, that means wants to, they are a refugee, if they come to the uk via an irregular or also called a legal route, typically a small boat from france, then they cannot gain status in the uk, they cannot become a refugee of the uk, they cannot claim asylum in the uk. instead, they must be removed to a third country. that is the underlying law we have as ofjuly 2023. the problem for the government was that only one country in the world was going to accept asylum seekers, to allow them into their country, to process them, to ask are they a refugee or not a refugee, and if they are not a refugee, to send them back to the country they came from and if they are a refugee, to stay in that country and the only country in the world that would allow that right now is rwanda. in november, december last year, the uk supreme court said this policty
1:45 pm
of taking peolpe and removing them from the uk to rwanda is unlawful, not because sending someone to a third country of unlawful, it is not, but instead because rwanda is not a safe country. they listened to the evidence of experts, especially from the united nations that has been working with refugees in rwanda for a few decades and said right now, it is not a safe country. the law we saw passed quite dramatically and in the very late hours last night said rwanda is and must always be considered a safe country. how this will work in practice as if someone arrives by a small boat and gets a deportation order that they will be order that they will be removed to rwanda, then the decision—makers, anyone who might be looking at this person's claim, can only consider rwanda a safe country, it does not matter any evidence to the contrary, and they cannot consider it. they must send that person to rwanda as a matter of law.
1:46 pm
i will come back to you.
