scotland and yet another band of rain making its way southwards. some uncertainty as to exactly where that is going to sit but whether —— wherever it falls, salt and saturated ground. it looks like temperatures are going to rise well above the average as we go towards the middle part of the week. perhaps speaking on thursday, 16 and 17 if we see some sunshine but as you can see from the chart behind me, it is going to stay quite saturated and unsettled. thanks, helen. and that's bbc news at six. you can keep up with all the latest developments on bbc website. now it's time to join our

newcastle united can move into a european place with a win at stamford bridge. three points for chelsea would still see them stay in the bottom half of the table in 11th. the most important for us is to work on us. i'm concentrating on our performance and the way that we're going to deal with now maybe two or three starting 11 players in the last game that we need to find different solutions again. of course we know very well newcastle and we can assess newcastle but now i think the most important is the way in which we're going to find the balance of the team to be consistent and to perform in the way that we want to perform. we know we're running out of games. there are not many left. the season seems to have gone so quick. you know, we're here now and we have minimal games left but there is still an opportunity to achieve so we're determined to try and maximise in every game. i think the players know the importance of the fixtures we have coming up. we have got a bit of form behind us. we're looking to recapture still our very best performance levels. hopefully we can. it was a good weekend for arsenal, their win over brentford saw them move to the top of the premier league and they stayed there, after liverpool and manchester city's draw at anfield, the gunners' attention now turns to the champions league where they have to beat porto tomorow night to reach the quarter—finals , they trail 1—nl after the first leg in portugal. for 96 minutes bring your energy, bring your noise and let's do it together. the impact they can make tomorrow, it's incredible, i don't think that they realize. we need that noise, we need them to play with us and we need that emotional control as well. to understand that game can go through certain phases that we have to be really intelligent to push in the right moments to get what we want. it's a beautiful opportunity to leave those nights in 1a years. everything that we put in there is going to be worth it. , , ~ . .,

with brazil and is a major doubt for the premier league game against arsenal at the end of the month. let's have a quick look at some of the other stories making the headlines today. serie a side

exactly where i want to be. of course there's a lot better in that in truth in that in that she does want to be developing her game. she's very raw, not played that many matches on the tour. i would say that even though she's developed nicely at the start of the season she can still be a little bit inconsistent. there's just not been enough time on the court to get to get to where she will want to be. today's match against several leg up with a powerful serve is going to be a mighty challenge for her. i think she's pleased with the way the year is building. still early stages. if ever she

meeting, than nicky henderson, and he has plenty of chances to return to the winners enclosure this week. 0ur sport news correspondent laura scott has been to meet him. casting a watchful eye over his horses. a biting wind doesn't seem to bother nicky henderson. he has one thing on his mind, making sure the horses heading to the cheltenham festival get there in peak condition. leading the pack is shishkin, one of the favourites for the highlight of the week friday's gold cup, the hundredth running of the race. i think everything's going according to plan. these last two runs have been well, they've been very good. sadly, he sort of tripped over his own foot leg in the king george, which he looked to be, was possibly going to go and win. that would have been a bit special. and then he won at newbury, but he's done very little wrong. i think he's got a very good chance. it's an open sort of gold cup, i think. henderson was dealt a blow when the star of the stables, unbeaten hurdler constitution hill, was ruled out of the olympics ofjump racing after coming down with what, in human terms would be a winter cold. but henderson said he'd be back next year to win back his champion hurdle crown. that's as clear sign as any that henderson isn't eyeing retirement. we've got a lot of very good horses at the moment. hardly going to give up when they're like this. i mean, you couldn't i mean, i enjoy it and it's there's nothing else i can do, so i've got to get going. henderson had feared an eye condition would force him to stop training, but recent treatment has been transformative. it's improved rather than sort of get you know, they always say it was going to get worse, but actually they've stabilised it, so we're fine. i mean, the worst thing is actually just can't recognise people's faces. so people probably think i'm just being rather rude but don't mean to be. i promise. the horses is no problem. i can recognise a horse, i can't recognise a person. it's a peculiar thing. it's one of the sort of traits of what i have. so whilst he might be in for some awkward moments amid the cheltenham crowds, his ability to train winners isn't hindered, with 73 festival firsts already to his name. he knows better than most how to do that. laura scott, bbc news. a reminder of our top story, the draw for the last 16 in the challenge cup. all the details are on
