weather across the south of the mild weather across the south of the uk today but further north we have seen clear skies, albeit with a scattering of showers and there is a cloud and rain and mild weather and there is the window of clearer skies are behind me is another mass of cloud, and it will be cloudy, mild and increasingly windy later in the week, so a lot of weather to get through. through tonight, showers racing in on a brisk breeze and clear spells as well and we will see cloudy and wet weather spreading from the west by the end of the night. a little bit chilly for a while, but things will be turning milder out west by tomorrow morning and as we see cloud and outbreaks of rain spilling in across northern ireland and scotland, then clouding over across england and wales. it will turn really quite murky around the coasts and hills towards the west and bits and pieces of rain will make it quite windy. temperatures coming up again, between nine and i2 temperatures coming up again, between nine and 12 degrees through the afternoon and then as we head into thursday the deep area of low

pressure is set to pass to the north of the uk and lots of isobars on the chart, strong winds and a cold front slipping south. a band of cloud and rain and to the sunny spells and showers, some of them are wintry over the high ground in scotland but it is the wind that will cause issues on thursday, widely a windy day with gales in places and we could see 80 mph gusts and some really rough seas around some eastern coasts and some coastal flooding, so some real disruption to travel on thursday and it stays quite windy in the run—up to christmas but broadly speaking on the milder side and if you do want some snow on christmas day, i think it is really only likely over hills in the north of the uk. and that's bbc news at six. now its time to join our colleagues for the news where you are. hello there, i'm 0lly foster. here's what's coming up on sportsday.

farewell to forest, with the team sliding on the stable. steve cooper has been sacked. we'll be at all the quarterfinals including chelsea's home match. last year, beth mead took the famous trophy, but who will win 2023's sports personality of the year? it's the best of what we have to offer in britain, and most of them are best in the world as well, so it's a fantastic array of stars. also coming up on sportsday... under the hammer, australia's pace payer break records as they spark a bidding war in the ipl.

good evening. we'll start with that premier league sacking earlier this afternoon. steve cooper had been living on thin ice with just one win in the last three months. they had been difficult to beat at home, but not in recent weeks, and defeat to tottenham at the city ground last friday proved to be cooper's last in charge. the former wolves and tottenham manager nuno espirito santo has been in advance talks with the club. his appointment is expected to be confirmed shortly. angela rafferty reports. to forest fans, he will always be the man who thrived where others failed. a man who made the impossible dream possible. fans singing

those bad results were just stacking up those bad results were just stacking up against steve cooper. do you think you deserved a little bit more time for what he achieved? to be honest, of course i'm going to say he deserved a bit of time because i understand the situation. and the battles behind the scenes that he's been battling. especially the last month. i think in the last month, i think there's extra pressure on him and what's happening with the club on the results. but at the in the of the day, it has been coming because he felt it. ithink day, it has been coming because he felt it. i think he's had time and he's had a lot of time. he's had a couple of years of the club. i think inevitable in these jobs, couple of years of the club. i think inevitable in thesejobs, it couple of years of the club. i think inevitable in these jobs, it was coming. it was kind of inevitable.

this is a steve cooper who is come in and gained love and admiration from everybody, including last week at the 5—0 lost at fulham, and the fans were singing and chanting his name. itjust shows you the love and the admiration this man has gained. when he took over at forest, they were heading towards league i. but he kept them up in the same season in the premier league. you hinted at things going on behind the scenes. angelos smirnov chris did not fancy the idea of another relegation battle. , , ., , the idea of another relegation battle. , , , ., battle. listen, this time last year, it was a little _ battle. listen, this time last year, it was a little bit _ battle. listen, this time last year, it was a little bit similar. - battle. listen, this time last year, it was a little bit similar. results i it was a little bit similar. results were rocky and what happened, there was pressure on him one year ago.

the brilliant thing i think nottingham forest did, they said they wouldn't be like everybody else. they gave him an extra year and kept nottingham forest in the premier league. this year, that mounting pressure is now to the point where it is decision time. i think right now with january coming up think right now with january coming up and the idea of the transfer window coming up, they could strengthen, they want to stay in the premier league. so i think that is a big factor of why they've made the change right now. but at the india of the day, we understand the job that he's done —— at the end. he leaves having done an incredible job. that isjust leaves having done an incredible job. that is just his legacy — unbelievable. he gave everyone a dream they were dreaming for. i was

the league cup takes centre stage over the next couple of nights. we've reached the quarterfinals with three this evening. the match at stamford bridge is the pick of them, chelsea have been blowing hot and cold, lying mid—table. this competition could be their best hope of a trophy. newcastle have been hoping for over 50 years, and came so close last season to breaking their cup drought, only to be beaten in the final. there'll be commentary of the game on 5 live this evening, john murray is at stamford bridge. this has been taking on extra importance for both of the clubs. for chelsea, mid table, patchy form. this represents an opportunity for them to win something. for newcastle united, out of europe now and form away from home not good. they've lost heavily in the last two matches away. similarly, a chance to get back to the final they reached last season. it's been tough for newcastle as well, having already

drawn the two clubs. now chelsea away from home. what is eddie howe's 100 match? they will be backed by over 4,00 fans inside stanford briggs —— 4,000. it is also still a situation whereby if the match is level after 90 minutes, it will go straight to penalties. we'll have commentary from here at stamford bridge from eight o'clock tonight. there are only two sides from outside the premier league in the quarter—finals and they are playing each other. league one port vale facing middlesbrough from the championship. boro won the league cup in 2004 - the only cup honour in their history. as for vale, this is the first time they have appeared in any quarterfinal. carole shanahan, the club's chair, is at vale park. could be a very special night. it

could be, and even at this point, it's historic because it's the furthest we've ever gotten. everybody at the club is very excited about that. when kevin and i took the club in 2019, we said that we really wanted the club to build more memories of vail fans. we really wanted the club to build more memories of vailfans. we've been to man city, we've been to wembley and today is the next one. it's wonderful and i'm so pleased for ourfans. they it's wonderful and i'm so pleased for our fans. they deserve it's wonderful and i'm so pleased for ourfans. they deserve it. this for our fans. they deserve it. this time last week, _ for our fans. they deserve it. this time last week, you _ for our fans. they deserve it. this time last week, you mentioned memories. you had an incredible cup tie. replay against stevenage. you are seconds away from the third round. tell us about that. it was a seconds away _ round. tell us about that. it was a seconds away twice. _ round. tell us about that. it was a seconds away twice. it _ round. tell us about that. it was a seconds away twice. it was - seconds away twice. it was heartbreaking. absolutely. we played well, but there's every football fan out there and they know you play the whistle. hats off to stevenage. they

important to us. i don't think it's treated any the less because of the fans, it doesn't matter what the financial rewards are. it's the fact that you're getting to play clubs from above you like we now are. so, it's really, really good and we are absolutely delighted. emir)? it's really, really good and we are absolutely delighted. en'oy tonight, carol. 0h, absolutely delighted. en'oy tonight, caret. on. we * absolutely delighted. en'oy tonight, carol. 0h, we will_ absolutely delighted. en'oy tonight, carol. 0h, we will do. _ absolutely delighted. en'oy tonight, carol. 0h, we will do. i_ absolutely delighted. enjoy tonight, carol. 0h, we will do. i mentioned i carol. 0h, we will do. i mentioned liverpool- — let's get to the other quarter—final now, what a month it's been for everton with four wins in a row and they haven't conceded goal. launching themselves off the foot of the table launching themselves off the foot of the table after that ten—point deduction. they are at home to fulham. conor mcnamara is at goodison park. everton a re everton are absolutely flying at the moment. fourstraight wins everton are absolutely flying at the moment. four straight wins in the premier league have seen sean

dyche's team to obliterate that space in a month. given the number of teams that have been eliminated, maybe just maybe everton fans will think they might be able to go all the way, particularly if they can get into the last four tonight. but fulham will think the same thing. marco silva comes back to take on his old club. they came here the opening day back in august. fulham were a little bit humbled by the weekend by newcastle, but that was off the back of back to back 5—0 wins. they have been playing well and they have been scoring goals. it's two decades since fulham have gotten this far. they've never got to the semifinals of the league cup. everton reached to the semi years ago. there's a choice of listening between this game and the one against chelsea. it's a 7:45pm kick—off. connor mcnamara there. we'll have more football later in the programme,

when we'll have the latest from manchester city's semi—final at the club world cup againstjapan's urawa reds. there has been a goal. how about that for a tease? we're about 20 minutes away from the start of the bbc�*s sports personality of the year. it's the 70th edition of the awards ceremony. the six contenders for the main prize are the england cricketer stuart broad, jockey frankie dettori, manchester united and england goalkeeper mary earps, wheelchair tennis player alfie hewett, world champion heptahlete katarina johnson—thompson and ryder cup winning golfer rory mcilroy. i could have walked to the red carpet in the time it took me to read through those! andy swiss is there. those of the six vying for there. those of the six vying for the main prize. it's also a night just to celebrate and look back on another great year of sport. that's right, yes. it's been a hive

of activity over the last hour. it is always a glittering occasion. the show starts in about 50 minutes. as you say, there those six contenders for the main awards. stuart broad, frankie dettori, mary earps, alfie hewett, katarina johnson—thompson and rory mcilroy. the winner will be decided by a public vote during the show. you can vote by phone or online. the details of how you can vote will be given out during the programme. it's also a bit of a landmark night for sports personality of the year because it's the 70th suggestion of the programme. you might be able to guess that from some of the branding behind me. it first took place way backin behind me. it first took place way back in 1954, when it was won by the athlete chris chat away, since then,

south africa beat india by eight wickets. that levels the series with the site on par on thursday. it shot there was a big shock at the pdc world darts championship with former semi—finalist james wade being knocked out in the second round by canada's matt campbell. the man they call the ginger ninja won by three sets to two. some of the world's best cricketers have been going under the hammer in dubai today, and records have been trumbling the hammer in dubai today, and records have been tumbling building their squads for next year's competition, and a month after they won the world cup against india, two australian fast bowlers have become the most expensive players in ipl history. mitchell starc sparked an intense bidding war, gujarat titans after his last appearance

in the ipl, kolkata got their man for a record £2.3 million. that came just a few hours after sunrisers hyderabad paid pat cummins — that was a record fee for a brief time. the previous record was held by england's sam curran — when hejoined the punjab kings for £1.85 million. he'll play for them again next year, and he'll bejoined by one chris woakes, he cost the punjab kings harry brooke has seen his value plummet by almost £1 million. £380,000. let's speak to him marie moran. a lot of money being spent. it's a nice earner for starc and

cummings. and we come to expect this from the lndian — cummings. and we come to expect this from the indian premier— cummings. and we come to expect this from the indian premier league. - cummings. and we come to expect this from the indian premier league. and i from the indian premier league. and we did sort of expect that there could be some big figures for those fast bowlers because a couple of reasons— it is a month to the day since australia lifted the world cup, so they've been very much in the focus of indian cricket. also, the focus of indian cricket. also, the old adage that bowlers win tournaments and batsmen win headlines. we knew that cummings and starc would be likely to be quite high on the list of all those teams looking to try and sign those fast bowlers. there was a four way bidding warfor bowlers. there was a four way bidding war for mitchell starc, and he would have thought goodness me, what can i afford with this ridiculous amount of money? it is an

astonishing figure for him. i think it's fair to say it's life—changing. you can imagine those dollar signs in his eyes as the austin was —— auction was taking place. you always keep an eye on the tournaments. harry brook didn't do very well this year. he'll have a point to prove next year. year. he'll have a point to prove next year-— next year. his extraordinary fee last ear next year. his extraordinary fee last year has — next year. his extraordinary fee last year has plummeted - next year. his extraordinary fee last year has plummeted away i next year. his extraordinary fee i last year has plummeted away this year as he's made the move, and his tournament last year was brilliant. otherwise, he averaged 14. he didn't look like the player that i think many expected to see. he didn't have the best of world cup, but he was a player with phenomenal talent. if you can get it right in the indian premier league, he could easily earn the figures we've been speaking

about as the ipl continues to develop. sam curran has a bit of a point to prove, but certainly, the ipl auction is always memorable. henry moran, thanks very much indeed. ahead of next year because my competition in march. let's return to football, because it's half—time injeddah at the club world cup where the european champions manchester city are taking on the asian champions league winners urawa red diamonds in their semi—final the winner of this will play brazilians fluminense on friday —— next year's competition. chances are limited, but on the stroke of half—time, city taking the lead thanks to an own goal. you can follow the second half on the bbc sport website. a quick reminder of our top story — that is not the 70th sports personality of the year awards. although that is a big deal. steve cooper, the nottingham forest

manager sacked as well. you can go to those details as well on the bbc sport website, but from me and the team, good night. hello there. it's been quite a poor day today across many southern parts of england with a lot of rain around. further north, we did see some sunshine eventually across the north of england and into parts of wales, and we've seen a mixture of sunshine and showers earlier in scotland. this was the shield of cloud that stretched across england and wales. you can see how it's been shifting southeastwards and the rain is getting taken away at long last. following on from that, we've got clear spells through the night. showers continuing in the north, maybe a bit wintry over the hills in scotland and some further rain coming in from the atlantic to northern ireland and western scotland by the end of the night. a bit chilly ahead of that in the north east of scotland.

typical temperatures elsewhere around 6—7 degrees. now, there may not be a lot of sunshine around for tomorrow. we've got this rain coming in from the northwest. now, most of it will continue to affect the hills in the west, where it's going to be very misty and murky with some hill fog. there is going to be a lot of cloud, but it's going to be a lot drier than today in the south and the southeast. and it's a milder day on the whole — but it will turn windy through the day. however, the winds will strengthen further on wednesday night and into thursday, and it's during this period that we've got a greater risk of some travel disruption. and it's getting windier because this deep low pressure here, possibly a named storm, will sweep across the north of scotland, head in to scandinavia with the really strong winds wrapped around that. and it will be a windy day everywhere on thursday, wildly gusts of 50—60mph, but it's across northern parts widely gusts of 50—60mph, but it's across northern parts of scotland that we're more likely to get gusts of 80mph. very windy day in scotland, sunshine

and wintry showers to come here. sunshine and showers across other areas, but further south may well hang on to more cloud and a bit of patchy rain as well. here in those strong winds, temperatures will reach 12—13, but the day gets colder, i think, with those wintry showers and strong winds in scotland. and as the low pressure moves away, we get this push of strong winds south through the north sea, bringing some big waves, some rough seas, bit of a storm surge going on and the risk of some coastal flooding. things could be a lot worse, though, if we had some spring tides. now, the winds do gradually ease down a bit on friday. for most of us, we're in some colder air, more wintry showers in scotland, milder air trying to come in to the west. live from london. this is bbc news.
