time for a look at the weather here's louise lear. a glorious day today, in aberdeen we had blue sky and sunshine, temperatures peaking at 16 degrees, 61 fahrenheit, very nice indeed. in fact, the sunshine got to work quite quickly, improving into the afternoon, so lots of sunshine down into central and southern areas in the east, just the far north—west kept the cloud. in the highlands of scotland, a spot or two of drizzle from time to time. the winds will pick up in the far north—west tonight, and we will see further showers, losing the high pressure that has brought a settled weather, allowing frontal systems to push on, but taking their time in doing so. tomorrow, in clearer skies, but taking their time in doing so. tomorrow, in clearerskies, low single figures, but with cloud in the west, a milder start but murky as well. showers along the coast through the day, certainly more cloud around in comparison to today, so perhaps not quite as warm. by the end of the afternoon, the winds are strengthening, more persistent rain pushing into western scotland, western fringes of northern ireland. the rain will be heavy but not last long, and as the weather front continues to move eastwards, it will weaken, so during wednesday, as the front continues to push across parts of lincolnshire, down into the midlands towards the south—west, quite a weak affair. behind it, drier, brighter, a scattering of sharp showers in the far north—west, and more of a breeze here, 8—13 is the high on wednesday. into thursday, sunny spells and scattered showers, but as we come through to friday, noticeably cooler for all with sleet and hail showers to higher ground. that's all from the bbc news at six, so it's goodbye from me, hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm gavin ramjaun. not so steady for eddie. the england head coach under pressure — as the rfu review their disappointing six nations campaign. a landmark dealfor women's football — the bbc will show regular wsl games for the next three years. and schumacher is back in formula one. we hear from the son f1 legend michael as mick prepares to make his debut. i don't feel old blink of pressure. i don't feel old blink of pressure. i think it is a motivation for me. i am proud and happy to be here. hello and welcome to sportsday. all that and more on the way — but we start with the fallout from england's six nations campaign — and the pressure on this man. head coach eddie jones. the rfu, the sport's governing body in england is reviewing what happened, after the side finished second from bottom in the table. jones says he's100% confident he's still the right man for the job. joe lynskey has more. english rugby reflects, looking closely at how eddie jones english rugby reflects, looking closely at how eddiejones team could finish fifth in the six nations and what could now change. this was england's year of unwanted records. they lost to scotland, wales and ireland. beaten by all three for the first time since the 70s. three for the first time since the 705, ,,, . ., three for the first time since the 705, . .,, ' ., 70s. spectacular stuff from ireland! in sort, 70s. spectacular stuff from ireland! in sport. the _ 70s. spectacular stuff from ireland! in sport, the head _ 70s. spectacular stuff from ireland! in sport, the head coach _ 70s. spectacular stuff from ireland! in sport, the head coach takes -

jones process can be unpredictable. his critics say he is boom or bust. he is one the six nations free times with england including just last year, but he has now come fifth twice. the last time that happened was in 2018, in 18 months later, england beat new zealand at the world cup. now they are back at the crossroads but sacking jones comes with the risk. he signed a new contract this is their hit with a bigger crisis, but the figures on the pitch do not look good either. england conceded 121 points, their worst tally of the six nations. and gave away the most penalties. now those of the top work out how much trust they still have in the process. so, many questions over what the future is for england underjones — after a campaign that included defeats to scotland, wales and ireland for the first time since 1976. 0ur rugby union correspondent sara 0rchard told me why there are such high expectations of success. well, we always have to remind ourselves that eddiejones is the highest—paid coach in the whole world. pressure will naturally come with the territory despite a very disappointing six nations performance finishing in sixth place, we have to remind ourselves that eddiejones does have credit in the bank. he has delivered previous success in the six nations, including winning itjust at the end of last year in the recent automations take away the trophy there as well. we mustn't forget in 2019, he did lead england to the world cup final against south africa. now, if you add into that that we have discovered today that there is a break clause that will allow eddiejohnston that contract early, it does make things interesting but i do not think anyone would expect eddiejones to be clearing up his desk any time today because on top of all of this, the players have come out and support of them are asked against arab and how they felt about it and the likes and big senior players in that squad have come out and said, they do support him. we that squad have come out and said, they do support him.— they do support him. we have been talkin: they do support him. we have been talking about _ they do support him. we have been talking about a _ they do support him. we have been talking about a women's _ they do support him. we have been talking about a women's british -

definitely. thank you very much l indeed. emma sanders therefore definitely. thank you very much - indeed. emma sanders therefore is. well the england and manchester city captain steph houghton feels the deal will be an amazing step forward — and that being seen by so many more people could push the league to another level. you speak about young girls and we will try to be that inspiration and role models to so many but sometimes you can't actually be that role model when you're not being seen, so for us to be on television more often now with games to be visible for these young girls, it is the next step forward for women's football in general and i think this is going to push our leak to be the best in europe, if not the world. quite a long time ago when you started — quite a long time ago when you started out your senior football career— started out your senior football career for— started out your senior football career for sustenance of you at that point _ career for sustenance of you at that point that— career for sustenance of you at that point that at this point in your career— point that at this point in your career you _ point that at this point in your career you be getting matches on bbc one and _ career you be getting matches on bbc one and bbc two and sky would be coming _ one and bbc two and sky would be coming up — one and bbc two and sky would be coming up fora one and bbc two and sky would be coming up for a broadcast deal to show— coming up for a broadcast deal to show the — coming up for a broadcast deal to show the leak. bodio said then? when i first show the leak. bodio said then? when i first started — show the leak. bodio said then? when i first started when _ show the leak. bodio said then? when i first started when i _ show the leak. bodio said then? when i first started when i was _ show the leak. bodio said then? when i first started when i was 13 _ show the leak. bodio said then? human i first started when i was 13 or 14 i first started when i was 13 or 1a i first started when i was 13 or 1a i probably would've laughed because at the time, we were on that level were we were in a professional league and you were training once a week and when you get to one of super leagues 2011, start to think about this could really go somewhere. probably of the last few years and in 2015 in the world cup, i think it is expended so quickly and to be a part of that is to really be special and i think we are in such a force in its position of alexa bbc have been unbelievable support for women's football and putting more investment into the game and trying to push it to as far as it can go and this is women's football continuing with the quality performance and so everyone can see. it was 30 years ago, that one of the greats of formula one, michael schumacher, made his debut. going on to win seven world titles, to become the sport's most decorated driver — synonymous with success in the red of ferrari. in 2013 — schumacher suffered a serious brain injury, in a skiing accident. his son mick was with him at the time. and after a stellar rise through the ranks, mick is set to make his debut when the new season begins this weekend. so does he feel the pressure to live up to schumacher standards of success? he's been speaking to our sports editor dan roan. i feel amazing. it is ifeel amazing. it is been i feel amazing. it is been a lifelong dream to be here. an amazing feeling knowing that this is it and this is getting close to my first race in f1 and proper red f1 and it is amazing seeing my dad and i wanted to be in one but i never got. i have one now and it's amazing and i'm looking forward to it. hoop and i'm looking forward to it. how do ou and i'm looking forward to it. how do you handle _ and i'm looking forward to it. how do you handle the _ and i'm looking forward to it. how do you handle the inevitable comparisons drawn between you and your father. comparisons drawn between you and yourfather. because you're not following in his footsteps. this is not mean huge pressure for you or is it all about motivation and pride? i it all about motivation and pride? i think it is motivation and pride really, i am think it is motivation and pride really, iam happy think it is motivation and pride really, i am happy to be
