It warns that vulnerable people could be at greater risk and possible "minor impacts" on health services due to increased demand. The alert from the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) runs from Friday morning to Monday morning (13-16 February). The agency generally only issues warnings for England - but separate snow and ice alerts are also in force on Thursday and Friday for northern England and virtually the whole of Scotland. One to two centimetres of snow is widely likely, according to the Met Office, but some places above 300m could get as much as 10cm. Friday is set to be the chilliest day, with around 2C (35F) forecast for the morning commute in Manchester and 0C (32F) under clear skies in Glasgow. Meanwhile, more heavy rain is also forecast for Wednesday, with Scotland set to get the worst of it. Yellow warnings are in force until midnight for a large slice of the east of the country and part of the west coast. Aberdeen has already received 180% of its typical February rainfall, Kincardineshire 152%, and Angus 130%. Check the weather forecast in your area The start to 2026 has brought seemingly relentless rain due to a "blocking pattern" and 26 weather stations have set new monthly records for January, according to the Met Office. Northern Ireland also endured its wettest January in 149 years. Sky News weather producer Chris England said the incoming dip in temperatures would "come as something of a shock after the long mild, wet spell". "The jet stream, which guides our weather systems, will move briefly south to end the week, allowing an increasingly northerly flow, bringing more wintry conditions," said England. However, he added that milder conditions should spread from the South later in the weekend.

Viewers will soon be able to watch Disney+, Netflix, Hayu and HBO Max alongside Sky's own original shows and exclusives as part of a new entertainment offering. The deal, which Sky says is the best value in the market, means the platforms will be available together as part of the broadcaster's Ultimate TV package from £24 a month. HBO Max, coming to the UK and Ireland in March, will air the upcoming and much-anticipated Harry Potter series when it is released, and will also be the new streaming home for Friends. It also brings medical drama The Pitt - long awaited outside the US following Emmy and Golden Globe wins - to the UK and Ireland for the first time. Hayu, billed as "the home of reality TV", offers The Real Housewives back catalogue as well as British shows such as Made In Chelsea and The Only Way Is Essex. The two streamers join Disney+, which includes film franchises such as Star Wars and Marvel, and the hit series Rivals, as well as Netflix - home to shows including Stranger Things, Black Mirror and Adolescence - in being offered as part of a Sky subscription. The service will begin in March, with Hayu available from July. Sky, the owner of Sky News, is home to shows including Brassic and A League Of Their Own, and is also due to launch the first UK version of hit US comedy show Saturday Night Live in March. With viewers preferring to access their favourite shows and films in one place, the announcement gives Sky an appealing offering amid increasing competition from streamers. Bosses say the deal marks "a new era" for the broadcaster and its own streaming service, NOW. "In a world-first, we're bringing together Sky, Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max and Hayu into a single Sky TV subscription," said Sophia Ahmad, Sky's chief consumer officer. "Nowhere else offers this breadth of incredible entertainment in a fully integrated experience, with everything customers love watching side by side so viewers can jump from show to show with ease." Millions of existing customers with Sky Q, Sky Stream or Sky Glass subscriptions will get "easy access" to the new line-up as standard, she added. "We're proud to continue Sky's legacy of innovation, making it easier than ever for people to enjoy the very best entertainment and best experience, all in one place." Sky plus the HBO Max Basic subscription with adverts, Disney+ Standard with adverts, Hayu, and Netflix Standard with adverts will be available together for new customers as part of Sky Ultimate TV from £24 a month, Sky has said, while existing customers will get access as part of their Sky TV subscription.

Anna Turley MP told Sky News "there's no place [...] in the Lords" for people like Matthew Doyle, who she suggested hadn't been truthful before being elevated to parliament's upper chamber earlier this year. Lord Doyle apologised and was suspended from Labour on Tuesday for his links to Sean Morton, who he campaigned for in 2017 after he had been charged over indecent images of children. The peer said he had believed Morton's initial assertions of innocence at the time, before he later pled guilty. Downing Street 10 was not aware Lord Doyle had campaigned for Morton at the time of his appointment, it is understood, and Ms Turley said "what we'd been told was not the truth when that decision was made". Asked if he should remain a peer, she told Sky News: "No, I don't think he should. That's my personal view." "There's no place for them in the Lords" for people who "have not been clear and transparent", she added. Politics Hub: Follow the latest Lord Doyle has apologised "unreservedly" for supporting Morton, who was a councillor in Moray, Scotland. He first appeared in court in connection with indecent child images in late 2016, and was suspended by Labour. He was running as an independent when Lord Doyle campaigned for him in May 2017. He didn't plead guilty until November that year. Lord Doyle said he had "extremely limited" contact with him after his conviction, and described his offences as "vile". "My thoughts are with the victims and all those impacted by these crimes," he added. He continued: "At the point of my campaigning support, Morton repeatedly asserted to all those who knew him his innocence, including initially in court. "He later changed his plea in court to guilty. "To have not ceased support ahead of a judicial conclusion was a clear error of judgment for which I apologise unreservedly. Those of us who took him at his word were clearly mistaken."

Tory leader Kemi Badenoch has called on the prime minister to publish "vetting advice and due diligence" reports provided before the peer's appointment. A Labour spokesman said Lord Doyle had lost the party whip while an investigation is carried out, and added: "All complaints are assessed thoroughly in line with our rules and procedures."

As it stands, the early indications are that an interim appointment until the end of the season is the most likely route Spurs will go down. There is expected to be a lot of change among head coaches at various clubs this summer, so it makes sense to wait until then to see who is available. Who next for Spurs? Have your say...Transfer Centre LIVE! | Tottenham news & transfers⚪Spurs fixtures & scores | FREE highlights▶️Got Sky? Watch Tottenham games LIVE on your phone📱Not got Sky? Get Sky Sports or stream with no contract on NOW📺'Glasner, Silva and Iraola were all on Spurs' radar' Oliver Glasner at Crystal Palace, Marco Silva at Fulham and Bournemouth's Andoni Iraola are all out of contract at the end of June. All three were on Spurs' radar last summer even though Frank was first choice at the time, and Glasner has already said he is leaving Selhurst Park. Manchester United will also decide on their next permanent manager this summer, when Michael Carrick's short-term deal comes to an end. There has also been speculation over the futures of Pep Guardiola and Arne Slot this season, although both remain committed to Man City and Liverpool and their current contracts, which run until the summer of 2027. There is a World Cup on the horizon in the USA too, where the home nation is managed by former Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino, who only this week spoke again glowingly about his time in N17. Roberto De Zerbi has just left Marseille overnight, and people in the game expect the former Brighton boss to come back to the Premier League at some stage. 'Not an obvious choice for interim appointment' But if there's no permanent appointment until the summer, who could be in charge when Premier League leaders Arsenal cross north London to face Spurs - live on Sky Sports - on Sunday February 22? In terms of an interim appointment, there does not appear to be an obvious choice. John Heitinga was recently brought in as an assistant to Thomas and he was popular at Anfield while working with Slot, before he took the Ajax job in the summer - where he was sacked after just five months in charge. Tottenham's statement today only mentions that Frank is leaving. There is no mention of his assistants - yet. The last interim that Spurs last turned to was Ryan Mason when they sacked Antonio Conte and then Cristian Stellini in 2023. Mason was recently sacked by West Brom. Former Spurs player and manager Tim Sherwood is another who has been linked with a potential interim return and speaking to Sky Sports News, he insists whoever goes in has a tough job on their hands. "There's a shortage of people they can turn to," he said. "I think they will turn to Heitinga, who is there already and has experience as a manager. "It's a great opportunity for someone who is not in a job. It's a club I love and I know a lot about it having spent many years there in different capacities. It needs someone to give the club a lift, whether that is me or whoever they decide to bring in. "Whoever it is has a tough job on their hands because let's face it, in the summer it is going to be Pochettino. It will be impossible for Spurs to look beyond Pochettino with the clamour from the Tottenham support to bring him back to the club." Redknapp: Of course I'd love interim job One name that has routinely come up in conversation regarding an interim stint is the return of Harry Redknapp. Redknapp led Spurs to the Champions League during his first tenure in charge between 2008-2012, and although the 78-year-old hasn't managed a club since 2017, he admitted that he would love the chance to take charge on a short-term basis if the call came. "Would I fancy it? Of course I would! I'd do it without any shadow of a doubt," he told Sky Sports. "But, I'm a realist. I don't live in cuckoo land. It's very doubtful I would get the job. "Could I do the job? Yes, I could do the job. What they need now is someone to come in and get back to basics. Hard work when you lose the ball. Don't be embarassed when you lose the ball to run hard to get it back. Work together, bit of confidence. Make them believe in themselves. If someone can do that they will get the results they need. "They've got my number. If anyone wants to ring me they know where I am. I wouldn't be holding my breath sitting by the phone waiting for it to ring, that's for sure. "I've got loads of energy! There's not a spare hour in my diary! Yeah, that's not a problem." 'Poch return a no-brainer' There's one standout candidate among the fans, who want Pochettino back at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium either now or in the summer after the World Cup... George94: I would get Pochettino back100 per cent. The fans like him, all the players like him and I like the style of football he plays. It is a no-brainer. Liam: Get an interim for the rest of the season, then go all out for Poch in the summer after the World Cup. Fans want him back, he wants to come back. DaveSpurs: I suggest we get Tim Sherwood or somebody who knows Spurs as interim manager until the end of the season, and get Poch back in the summer. Andrew21: Right decision to let Frank go. Let's go and get an interim who knows the club inside out, then welcome Poch's return in the summer. JSawyer22: Harry Redknapp and Ryan Mason to take over until the end of season. Get some actual football being played and the fans enjoying going again. Then bring back Poch after the World Cup. 'There's no guarantee the great times return under Poch' However, Jay Bothroyd, speaking on Sky Sports FC, provided a word of caution over a potential Pochettino return. "When a manager goes back to a club he's already been at, it's not guaranteed that there will be great times again," he told Sky Sports News. "The Tottenham team he managed was a great side. He helped develop some of those players but they were still top players with so much ability. "I'm not sure any of the players today would get into that side. "But there is no doubt Pochettino loves the club and knows it extremely well." Keane? Carrick? Alonso? Do the fans want anyone else? Pochettino is the name that is mentioned the most but there are a few other candidates who are interesting the Spurs supporters... Big Tel: I think De Zerbi would be sensible until the end of season. That way he can get a better look at the squad and if they give him full control, he can make additions when and where is needed. Gazza 1990:I think we should go all out and get Michael Carrick as our manager! Peripheral Vision: Get on the phone, get on your knees, admit you were wrong, and give Ange Postecoglou the season three he and the squad deserved. He got us into the Champions League, he should be the one to manage us in it. Lucky: It was a questionable appointment from the beginning. A lot of the decision-making at the club is poor. I would like to see Xabi Alonso come in next, but with us so close to the relegation zone, I'm not we can take a risk on him now. Conor: Get Robbie Keane! 'Keane has passion needed to get Spurs moving forward' Michael Dawson agrees, Conor! Former Spurs defender Dawson has called for former team-mate Robbie Keane to be an option for the job at Spurs. "Spurs have a big decision now over who comes in," Dawson told Sky Sports News. I hear people talking about an interim appointment and if that happens, they can only be thinking about Pochettino in the summer. "But if they wanted to make an appointment now, there's someone out there. Someone who knows the football club, who played for the football club who has the passion needed. He's someone who loves the club and will galvanise everyone, and bring them in the right direction. "It's Robbie Keane. "I can't see him leaving Ferencvaros in the middle of the season but why not give it to him on a permanent basis. "They've tried Jose Mourinho, they've tried Antonio Conte and Thomas Frank. There's a disconnect between the players and the fans and that can't be the case. The situation Spurs are in, they have to be together from top to bottom. "Whoever comes in has to give the players confidence. Keane can do that."

Officers are continuing to question a 13-year-old boy arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, and counter-terror police are involved. The attack happened at Kingsbury High School in Brent, northwest London, on Tuesday. Detective Chief Superintendent Helen Flanagan said the boys' injuries were "serious" but "thankfully not life-threatening" and they remained in hospital in a stable condition. "Our thoughts remain with them and their loved ones at this incredibly difficult time. Specialist officers are providing their families with support," she added. Police and ambulance crews were called at around 12.40pm on Tuesday, and the suspect, who had a weapon, was detained just after 6pm following a search. Read more from Sky News:Butcher who buried partner in garden jailed for lifeSpurs boss sacked Detective Chief Superintendent Luke Williams said on Tuesday the stabbing had not yet been declared a terror incident and police were "keeping an open mind" about the motivation behind the attack. In a letter to parents, the school's head teacher said it was a "deeply traumatic event for the whole school community". Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood described the attack as "shocking".

The future king toured the Sharaan Nature Reserve in the east of the country to hear about ongoing conservation initiatives aimed at protecting and reintroducing native species such as gazelles and the Arabian oryx. He was also told about a flagship programme to bring back the critically endangered Arabian leopard. The prince planted an acacia tree at the reserve as he was given details about ongoing efforts to protect its natural wildlife and landscape. William is also spending part of the day visiting the old town of AlUla, which features more than 900 mud‑brick houses and a historic citadel. The town has a network of narrow alleyways that formed a thriving settlement on the ancient incense road, the trade route that carried spices, textiles and aromatics across Arabia for centuries. The prince is also meeting local farmers during a tour of AlUla's Oasis and EcoGardening farm. The farmers were giving details to the prince about their belief in sustainable farming and on efforts to preserve their region's agricultural history. The trip has been overshadowed by the allegations surrounding Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Andrew denies any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein. The Prince and Princess of Wales attempted to make their position clear on the scandal on Monday when they issued their first public statement about it. A Kensington Palace spokesperson said they were "deeply concerned by the continued revelations", and "their thoughts remain focused on the victims".

The prime minister told broadcasters on Tuesday: "I had a five-year mandate to deliver the change. I intend to get on with what I was elected to do." Asked whether he would lead his party into the next election, scheduled for 2029, he said: "Yes, I will." Politics latest: What are the next challenges for Starmer? Despite his strong words, with his cabinet and Labour MPs having rallied round him, Sky's political editor Beth Rigby said the prime minister remains in a "weak position". There have been growing doubts since last week about whether Sir Keir would stay in post - and for how long. He faced the biggest challenge to his leadership yet on Monday as Labour's leader in Scotland, Anas Sarwar, called for him to resign following the scandal over his appointment of Peter Mandelson as his US ambassador. In Sir Keir's first remarks since, he joked at an event in Hertfordshire on Tuesday: "It's been a busy week." He then largely repeated the message he gave his own MPs on Monday evening, saying he "will never walk away from the people that I'm charged with fighting for". "And I will never walk away from the country that I love," Sir Keir added. Addressing Labour infighting, he said his party needs to focus on improving living standards and public services, as well as battling what he described as Reform UK's politics of "grievance". But Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch told Sky News that Labour MPs had given Sir Keir a "stay of execution, because they are terrified of losing their own jobs". Labour MPs 'stepped back from the precipice' The PM's comments came after he chaired a cabinet meeting on Tuesday morning, having received its unanimous backing to remain in his post. Energy Secretary Ed Miliband told Sky News that Labour MPs had "looked over the precipice yesterday and thought, we need to step back. We need to back our leader. We need to back the man who was elected only 18 months ago as prime minister." He said that Monday had been a "very difficult day" for the government, admitting that it had made "mistakes" and needed to change course. Challenged that Downing Street was briefing that Health Secretary Wes Streeting - often seen as a potential leadership challenger - told Mr Sarwar to make his statement, Ed Miliband said: "MoveOn.org. I mean, let's just move past all this, honestly." Meanwhile, Manchester mayor Andy Burnham also gave his backing to Sir Keir, as did Welsh First Minister Eluned Morgan. Mr Burnham - who Sir Keir blocked from standing in the Gorton and Denton by-election - called for "stability" and "greater unity".

Tuesday night's 2-1 loss at home to Newcastle, who were winless in their previous five matches, ended up being the final straw. Spurs remain without a Premier League victory in this calendar year. Spurs were booed off by their own supporters at both half-time and full-time of the loss to the Magpies, with chants of 'sacked in the morning' and 'we want Frank out' aimed at the head coach. Frank arrived in the summer as the popular Ange Postecoglou's replacement following a successful seven-year spell in charge of Brentford. Why did it not work out for him at Spurs? Tottenham sack head coach Thomas Frank after eight monthsTransfer Centre LIVE! | Tottenham news & transfers⚪Spurs fixtures & scores | FREE highlights▶️Got Sky? Watch Tottenham games LIVE on your phone📱No Sky? Get Sky Sports or stream with no contract on NOW📺Fans reject playing style Tottenham's playing style became a major bone of contention under Frank. His predecessor Postecoglou's high-intensity, attacking ethos may have been flawed, but it did at least give supporters something to get behind. 'Angeball' entertained. The same cannot be said of Frank's approach. The Dane insisted his ultimate aim was for Spurs to play free-flowing football, but fans saw little evidence on the pitch. Their numbers for possession, passing sequences and build-up attacks all plummeted. Instead of pressing opponents and forcing high turnovers, Spurs under Frank seemed happier to sit back and absorb pressure. It all felt reactive rather than proactive. Stylistically, Spurs profiled similarly to Frank's Brentford as he put more emphasis on long passes and aerials. He prioritised defensive solidity, with little success, and their attack suffered. In their November defeats to rivals Chelsea and Arsenal, Spurs generated a meagre combined total of just 0.17 expected goals. Frank succeeded in transforming their set-piece threat. Spurs have already scored more goals from dead balls than in the whole of last season. But the apparent lack of intent from open play was difficult for fans to stomach given the club's attacking traditions. Frank pointed to availability issues, with some justification. But the lack of incision was alarming, with Frank frequently preferring a workmanlike midfield pairing of Joao Palhinha and Rodrigo Bentancur, much to the frustration of the club's fans. Damningly, he departs with Spurs having attempted fewer through balls than any other Premier League side this season. Home discomforts It all started so well for Frank at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The 3-0 win over Burnley in his first Premier League game in charge in August came after a spirited showing in the European Super Cup against Paris Saint-Germain. It offered early encouragement about what was to come under the new head coach. Fast forward six months, though, and Spurs have only added one further Premier League victory from a total of 13 games in front of their own fans. Their home record is the third-worst in the division. Frank tried to avoid the R-word, but it is relegation form. Their struggles at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, where fans outwardly turned on Frank on numerous occasions, made it impossible for him to build a connection with those in the stands and ultimately paved the way for his departure. Spurs' home form actually ranked as the worst in the Premier League relative to their away form, with Spurs taking 0.69 points per game fewer when playing in front of their fans than they did on the road. Injury issues Frank was not helped by certain factors beyond his control. Spurs have been dogged by injuries, especially offensively. Frank was not able to call on James Maddison or Dejan Kulusevski once during his brief tenure. Dominic Solanke also missed a large chunk of the campaign. And when the striker finally returned to action, Spurs lost Richarlison and Mohammed Kudus. Wilson Odobert became the latest player to fall when he had to be withdrawn in Tuesday's defeat to Newcastle. Their current absentee list stretches into double figures and features the suspended Cristian Romero as well as the injured Pedro Porro, Bentancur, Lucas Bergvall, Djed Spence, Kevin Danso and Ben Davies, in addition to the names already mentioned. The numbers are striking. Spurs have suffered the third-most injuries in the Premier League this season, their total of 43 putting them behind only Chelsea and Arsenal. They are top, though, when it comes to the number of days lost. Spurs players have missed a cumulative total of 1,302 days of action this season. It all added up to make Frank's task tougher. That Arsenal cup Did getting pictured holding an Arsenal cup have any bearing on whether Frank lost his job or not? No. It was a simple mistake. But it did not help his chances of building a relationship with Spurs supporters. The Spurs boss drinking from a cup branded with the badge of his biggest rivals, who were flying high at the top of the league while his team struggled, was an embarrassing mishap at a sensitive time. Coupled with the fact Spurs went on to lose that game against Bournemouth, it created an unnecessary hurdle for Frank to climb. Of course, it was an unfortunate accident. But it added to the noise around his position and gave his detractors more ammunition. Romero's discipline When you have a player who knows they are walking into your starting line-up, it can sometimes cause more harm than good. For Frank, that sums up the story of Tottenham captain Romero. So often the Argentine produced huge moments. Game-saving and perhaps, at times, job-saving moments. A crucial double against Newcastle and an equaliser against Burnley added to why he was indispensable at both ends of the pitch. But for every time Frank had him to thank, he also had a headache to deal with. Romero wears his heart on his sleeve, but too often did that cause the Dane a problem. On multiple occasions, Frank publicly backed his skipper despite question marks over his future and whether or not he had the right mentality to wear the armband. Any issues were dealt with in-house. What cannot be argued is that Frank protected the player. How was he repaid? In his final couple of weeks in charge, he had to respond to comments Romero made on social media where he described the state of a 'stretched' Tottenham squad plagued with injuries as disgraceful. Again, he defended the player. Refused to strip him of his captaincy. That was followed by a reckless sending off against Manchester United days later, ruling him out for the remainder of Frank's tenure. A leader not standing up alongside his team-mates. Instead, leaving them to fight without him. Perhaps it's the case that Romero's words and actions were the reflection of how Spurs players felt across the squad. In that case, it was always going to be difficult for Frank to turn it around. But, to have your main point of leadership cause you more harm than good is an issue every manager would rather avoid.
