temperature, —— by the morning, the temperature, the milder airfrom the atlantic system. the first half of the day isn't going to be great, outbreaks of rain, strong wind and later in the day it should brighten up later in the day it should brighten up with showers. the back edge of the rain maybe further towards the west here, so i'm not sure how quickly the rain is going to clear but suffice it to say it's not a great day for many of us tomorrow. sunday, a better day because we are between systems, there will be more sunshine and temperatures continuing to rise over the next few weeks as weather systems come in. there's a hint that later next week we may see the weather settling down as high pressure builds. a lot happening over the next few days. thank you. that's it, i'll be back with the news at ten. hello, and welcome to sportsday. i'm sarah mulkerrins. brilliant bairstow hits a century as england find some ashes salvation in sydney. another tennis playerjoins

and we hear from the surfer who has a new identity after a life—changing accident. i'm proud of the fact that i am where i am. it's been a difficult road, but i've got there. hello, and welcome to sportsday. the ashes series has been humbling for england, but finally the side had a day that could spark a rebuild. and it came in the form of a man on the fringe. jonny bairstow was left out of the first two tests, but on day three in sydney, he built to a gutsy century as the batters showed some fight after a shaky morning. ending the day on an unbeaten 103, bairstow helped england to 258—7 at the close of play to trail australia by 158 runs. with more, here's patrick gearey. and was sent hundred fourjonny bairstow. fist and was sent hundred fourjonny bairstow. �* . , ., , ., bairstow. at

was passing 100, a score beyond any other english better on this tour. i'm over the moon to be honest with you. i'm over the moon to be honest with you the _ i'm over the moon to be honest with you.

sydney, then, for more reaction and analysis from our team there. three—time ashes winner steven finn is alongside henry moeran in sydney. a very special day here at the sydney cricket ground, the 14th annualjane mcgraw day in memory of former australian fast bowler glenn mcgraw�*s late wife who died in 2008. the ground turned pink and on the field, it was all looking pretty rosy for australia as it took early wickets to put england under pressure and it looked like it was going the same way as we have seen all of the series but a jonny bairstow century in the final over of the day put a smile on english spaces. steven finn watched on and it was a smile at the end of what has been quite a long day for england once again. but a day that showed some resilience with a bat after the tough

entry into the country because of their vaccination status, with the visas of other players being investigated as well. djokovic fans have been protesting outside the hotel they're confined to in melbourne, where they'd been hoping to play in the australian open later this month. djokovic's appeal against the decision won't be heard until monday. and this afternoon, djokovic has posted a message on social media. he said... a quick round—up of the day's other sports stories, and the january transfer window is keeping quite a few clubs busy. brazilian midfielder phillippe coutinho is back in the premier league. he's joined aston villa on loan from barcelona until the end of the season. coutinho has struggled since moving from liverpool to barcelona in 2018. england full—back kieran tripper hasjoined newcastle from atletico madrid. he's reunited with former boss eddie howe and joins for £12 million to become the first signing since the club's takeover. and everton defender lucas digne could also be on the move. the france international hasn't played for over a month, and manager rafael benitez says digne has told him he "doesn't want to be here". now, the fa cup is back this weekend, with the third round beginning tonight at the county ground with league two's swindon town hosting premier league leaders manchester city. covid, of course, is having an impact. there will be no replays in this round to help the ongoing scheduling issues, and many squads are missing playes. so, could this mean some big shocks in terms of results? well, let's speak to bbc football correspondentjohn murray, who will be commentating on the swindon—manchester city game for 5live. thank you forjoining us. could that we can be more right for upsets than usual? ~ ., . ., , ., ,

cold night, snow in the air, manchester city obviously had been seriously hit by covid—19 problems but i think when the teens come out in the next few minutes or so, i think we see the manchester city

after various delays, the africa cup of nations will finally kick off in cameroon's capital on sunday, when the hosts take on burkina faso. 0rganisers have faced criticism over its timing, but nigeria captain william troost—ekong says he can't wait for afcon to take centre stage. hopefully the coverage we will get this time around as well and all the games and attention we will get from all the players that are going for the big leagues to play in their country should she had a lot on that because i think there are some as understandings of what kind of government it is. but it's among the

chester fc. but right now the novelty value of that is wearing thin after the welsh government said the club should play its matches behind closed doors in accordance with their covid regulations. the club insists it's based in england and is seeking legal advice, as ian haslam reports. chester plays is football in chester, hence the name. chester is part of the county of cheshire in england. but while the stadium has a chester postcode, most of the ground is in wales, hence the debate is whether they have broken covid—19 reels. here is a deal, right now where we stand in the car park is in

debates whether "safe standing' is a forward or backward step for english football? here's a little taster. i hate to say this but fan behaviour last year if you look at what happened at wimbley, there are occasions where for whatever reason, things go out of control. and so it's a double whammy really. but what happens if maintenance is not looked at properly and these things are all happening and and talking something that will happen next week but it could. and you can listen to that podcast by downloading it from bbc sounds or from your usual podcast provider. there's a new

have ended this point for you so far equipment not the biggest because i did not figure much of them anyway but the cleveland browns having some look at that football team and when they are constructed and entirely too much, on both sides of the football. difficulty to beat in situation they are in now or they're at of playoffs and their quota but not limited to equitation the initiate app in the cleveland browns had to be the most disappointing so far. and 0si along with jason bell will be discussing all the key talking points as the nfl season reaches the final round of the regular season on the nfl show which is on bbc one at midnight tomorrow. now finally, zoe smith from bournemouth only took up surfing in september, but has just finished fifth in a world championship in california. not only that, the sport is helping zoe to rebuild her life after she lost her leg in a car accident. she's been speaking to lewis coombes. something magical about surfing, the connection with the ocean and the city and also the feeling of speed energy in your body and how they relate, it's amazing. surfing is helping zoe to refind her identiy. just over six years ago, she was left to wonder if she'd ever walk again, let alone ride a wave. i was iwas ina i was in a car accident. i was a passenger and my feet on the dashboard when the impact came and the airbag detonated in my leg was broken relate beyond repair. so i was at that time provide disabled by a lot of different injuries that occurred. a lot of different in'uries that occurred. ., , ., ~ ~ ., ., occurred.

a loss of identity if you like. and there is a process which you have to go through, and that is sort of a lot of it, look inside yourself and work out what it is that you want. i did not want to be somebody that the limb lost defined them. so, during lockdown, zoe decided to grab a surfboard. and just a few months later, was competeing against the best para surfers in the world in california. having placed fifth in her category, zoe helped england finsh seventh overall. i look at my leg as an opportunity for some i would not be competing in a world championships able—bodied surfing just yet so i'm very lucky in that sense. i had already sort of achieve what i wanted to which is to get out there and stand in the surfboard as an amputee and i'm proud of what i've achieved and i think that's important to recognise. i'm proud of the fact that i am where i am it's been a difficult road, but i've got there. and she should be proud of, so it was a great story to end sports day. a busy weekend of us for an river you can follow it all right across the bbc this evening and we know that five level have commentary as the fa makeup occurred this weekend and swindon town hosting the leaders mentors or city so you can follow that from 7pm and the ashes as well on test match special a little later and the african nations, all happening on bbc this weekend but for me and the sports day team, have a lovely friday evening, bye—bye. good evening. it was a pretty wintry end to the week in many parts of the uk. snow brought disruption for some, although it did bring some beautiful scenes as well. that was how it looked for a weather watcher in east dunbartonshire. through tonight, ice could be a hazard for a time, but it will turn milder and also wetter through the second half of the night. under clear skies, temperatures plummeting. ice from southern scotland into northern england and spots further south as well. but then we see cloud bringing rain in from the west, briefly a spell of snow as that bumps into the cold air, but it will tend to turn back to rain as temperatures climb. by the end of the night, belfast, cardiff, plymouth 8—10 degrees. so, a much milder start to saturday morning, but with cloud and outbreaks of rain. this frontal system bringing a pretty unsettled day of weather actually, with some heavy bursts of rain, some brisk winds. sandwiched, though, between these two weather fronts, we have this wedge of milder air. so, a different feel to things for saturday morning with cloud with outbreaks of heavy rain pushing eastwards. the rain tending to organise itself into bands, and this last band of rain here pushing eastwards is particularly likely to give some really intense downpours with some thunder and lightning and some squally, gusty winds which could easily gust up to 40—50 mph or more in the most exposed spots. the rain will then clear to leave sunshine and showers. some of the showers will turn wintry as temperatures drop away again, 5—10 degrees around 3pm in the afternoon. a fairly chilly night on saturday night with some wintry showers around, particularly out towards the west. but as we get into sunday, you do have to squint at the map to see it, but there is a little bump in the isobars here, a little ridge of high pressurejust trying to build its way in. it won't be able to kill off the shower activity completely, i suspect. there will still be some, but not too many. there should be a decent amount of dry weather and some spells of sunshine. temperatures between 4—10 , and then behind me here comes our next weather system, bringing cloud and rain from the west. but the story really for next week is for things to settle down. high pressure building its way up from the south, establishing itself quite strongly across the southern half of the uk particularly. so, we will see a lot of dry weather, some spells of sunshine. chance for some rain at times in the north where it will be windy, but it's going to feel milder for all of us. that's it, i'll be back with the news at ten. are the latest headlines in the uk this is bbc news — these and around the world. the giant of
