but it's everybody's own preference. anything you desire, i'm ready. willing and able. as the hosepipe said to the fire. uuh nuuh, it snuued. ovely. lovely. yeah. i believe in miracles, since you came along, you sexy thing. # sexy thing. # keep on loving' me, darling... that was suzy lawson reporting there. now time for a look at the weather. here's elizabeth rizzini. who is from croydon, and they got a lovely accent there as well, i'm sure. you're too kind, thank you, ben, i think i would rather be from hull! nearly as good as humber! couldn't find any weather watcher photos from actual humber so instead we have beverley, just towards the north, but there is a lot of

sunshine around today, it is a much quieter looking day of weather today than at the weekend, when we saw two named storms, storm elin and storm fergus. today, quieter, sunny spells, a few showers partially towards eastern areas of scotland, mostly because storm fergus is just pulling away through the north sea towards denmark. so, a few showers, the winds will be getting lighter towards the east coast and our next weather system approaches from the west. that will be with us tomorrow. for the rest of today, a line of cloud and a few showers coming down through the cheshire gap, misty conditions with moist air across parts of the south—west and western wales, temperatures mild, 7—13 for most of us. overnight tonight, here is our next area of low pressure, that will be bringing heavyweight to northern ireland particularly heavy across county are mine county down, into southern scotland tomorrow morning, early frost maybe out towards eastern areas but temperatures will rise again tomorrow morning, as it tends to cloud over. there will be some

blustery showers following on behind that main weather front as the low pressure pushes very slowly eastwards throughout the day. heavy rain tomorrow morning, across parts of fife, east lothian, down through north—east england as well. lustily showers, possibly a ramble or two of thunder, some gusty winds for irish sea coasts and down through the channel but again it is mild, 7—13, maybe one or two wintry showers over the tops of the hills in northern scotland. wednesday, a slowly improving picture as the cloud and rain pushes further eastwards, it will still be feeling quite blustery on eastern coastal areas, a north—westerly wind elsewhere, some brightness and some colder feeling air so, a drop brightness and some colder feeling airso, a drop in brightness and some colder feeling air so, a drop in temperature. you will have noticed a weather front again out towards the west, that is going to be pushing eastwards as we head through wednesday night and the air is colder so they could be a bit of transient snow before it turns quickly back to rain. any snow over

northern scotland and the pennines turning back into rain before clearing again on thursday, so again an improving picture with brightness developing once more from the west on thursday and then high pressure builds in from the south as we head through thursday and that will probably hold as we head through the rest of the week. away from the far north and the west where it could still be wet at times. thanks, elizabeth. and that's bbc news at one. you can keep up with all the latest developments on the bbc website. now it's time to join our colleagues for the news where you are — goodbye. shah bashir is one of three uncapped players as england name their test squad to tour india injanuary. manchester united face a vital week in their season, first up is a must

win game against bayern munich in the champions league. and the big guns in la liga, top having beaten barcelona. today england has named a 16 man test squad for their five test series against india. the surprise selection is 20—year—old spinner shoaib bashir. he only made his sir —— first class wicket injune. both have represented england in white ball cricket but not at test

level. ben stokes is included as he recovers from surgery. james anderson is in. he has a good record in india. high hopes for 19—year—olds han ahmed. every now and again, you catch a glimpse of a couple of balls where you think, there is something different here. he is very raw. he is going for experience as much as anything else, albeit we won't be afraid to play him if required. and i think that this is the start of his journey where we will see,

hopefully, a world—class spinner in the future. manchester united are preparing for what could be a pivotal week in their season. tomorrow night they take on bayern munich, a game they have to win if they're to stand any chance of reaching the last 16 of the champions league. then on sunday they travel to arch rivals liverpool who are currently top of the premier league, some ten points clear of united who are sixth after slumping to a humiliating 3—0 home defeat to bournemouth at the weekend. midfielder, scott mctominnay, says there's a togetherness in the squad, and they're right behind manager, erik ten hag. we have had many amazing players over the time and i feel like now we are at the stage where we have big characters in the dressing room where it's notjust a case of, like some of the other managers, where it has been a little bit toxic at times. the boys are firmly behind the manager and that is the be all and end all and i have said that in many interviews, that is the way it will stay. we have got an amazing

start as whale. people can get lost in translation and get carried away with what the players think and what they say behind closed doors but we just want to do well for the football club, simple as that. now, there's a fascinating story developing in spain where the usual football giants are being outshone by a team who've never finished higher than tenth in the top divsion and are only in their fourth season at that level. girona are top of la liga, two points clear of real madrid and seven points ahead of barcelona after beating them 11—2 yesterday. it was girona's first ever league win over their catalan rivals. so what's behind this rise to the top? we asked spanish football journalist alvaro romeo. well, i think it is a success of management, a success of recruitment, and then kudos to the players because they have been doing a fantasticjob players because they have been doing a fantastic job throughout players because they have been doing a fantasticjob throughout the season. the season has started and they have only lost one game against real madrid, two draws against real sociedad and atletico madrid who are

royalty. league royalty. and it has been managed to be very competitive for three and they have got 41 points which is astonishing really because they don't have a lot of money, a lot of players are at the end of their career, or they looked like that. and some youngsters still to prove themselves, and the manager has been incredible to gather all of the people together and make this happen. the people together and make this ha en. ., , the people together and make this ha en, .,, the people together and make this hauen. . . happen. people will look at it and sa , the happen. people will look at it and say. they are _ happen. people will look at it and say. they are part _ happen. people will look at it and say, they are part owned - happen. people will look at it and say, they are part owned by - happen. people will look at it and say, they are part owned by the l happen. people will look at it and - say, they are part owned by the same people as manchester city and they have splashed the cash but you say it is not a star—studded squad. that's the thing. they have got the means and access to good footballers, that they probably wouldn't have had access to if they weren't part of the same group, like for example, but they haven't got an expensive squad. but they have

maximise what they have got. the big cuestion is, maximise what they have got. the big question is, what _ maximise what they have got. the big question is, what is _ maximise what they have got. the big question is, what is the _ maximise what they have got. the big question is, what is the feeling - maximise what they have got. the big question is, what is the feeling in - question is, what is the feeling in spain? can they go on and win? i don't know, because going on to win is not easy. they are definitely up for the challenge, but it will be very good for la liga to have a new challenge. forthe very good for la liga to have a new challenge. for the last 19 years, only barcelona, real madrid and atletico madrid have won the title. it will be very impressive to have a side like girona winning it. now following on from his special report last week, our sports editor dan roan has been talking to various individuals who are involved in sport in saudi arabia. the bbc were accompanied by saudi ministry of sport officials while filming at venues and events. dan spoke to former premier league player andre gray who joined saudi pro league team al riyadh earlier this year. gray talked about the standard of football, and what ronaldo's arrival did for the pro league.

so much is positive here that they don't want to consider, and we have to come here to really understand it. a lot of people seem to think that we are just signing up for the sake of it. do that we are 'ust signing up for the sake of it. ,, ~ , that we are 'ust signing up for the sake of it. i. ~ , . sake of it. do you think there is a lack of appreciation _ sake of it. do you think there is a lack of appreciation back - sake of it. do you think there is a lack of appreciation back home i sake of it. do you think there is a | lack of appreciation back home for what is happening out here? there is a perception in some quarters that players are coming here at the end of their careers for one big payday. yeah, i think it isjust a lazy thing to say. i think even if you do look at the players, there are players here who have come more, they have just won the premier league, you know what i mean? they are not at the back end of their careers. forthem are not at the back end of their careers. for them to come here and take that opportunity says a lot. i think it was more shocking, i think it was when ronaldo first came, that was like, well, you know what i mean? thatjust opened the door for all of this to happen. you understand _ all of this to happen. you understand every - all of this to happen. you understand every athlete | all of this to happen. you understand every athlete who comes

here, every person who comes it is asked similar questions. you saw jordan henderson has had tojustify himself by coming here. what is your view on that, sports washing allegation that this is all designed to improve the image of the country because of its human rights record? sports bring people together, we have known that england for years. that is the one time that the country seems to come together, in a world cup. that's normal. but whatever their reasons are, whether it is tourism, sports, anything it might be, if they are improving, if they are changing, and all of these things are positive, i don't see what the problem is, you know? everyone has got space to grow and to learn and here is no different. i have said it before, and england is not, you know what i mean? everyone has a past and things change over time. whatever it takes, whether it

is through sport and tourism, it is only a positive. sunderland's stadium of light has been chosen to host the opening game of the women's rugby world cup in 2025. it's the second biggest venue for the event, with twickenham being the largest — that is where the final will be held. bronny james, the son of basketball legend lebronjames, has returned to playing again less than five months after suffering a cardiac arrest. lebron was courtside as bronny played a college game for the university of southern california. the 19—year—old was found to have a congenital heart defect injuly but was cleared to return to the sport last month. ijust want i just want to say i'm thankful for everything. the mayo clinic, everything. the mayo clinic, everything they helped me with, my parents, siblings for supporting me through this hard time in my life. yeah, ijust want through this hard time in my life. yeah, i just want to give appreciation to everyone who has helped me through this. and also, my

the snp leader dismissed the criticism from an "unelected lord", he said. lord cameron has also threatened to close scottish offices in uk embassies. the former prime minister, who returned to the cabinet as foreign secretary last month, said in a letter to the scottish government that ministers had failed to provide "sufficient advance notice" of the meeting with mr erdogan at cop28 in the united arab emirates. we are going to take you to a press conference by a group of conservatives called the erg and mark francois. thank you, i am chairman of the erg.
