would naturally think that this surge in young girls playing with lead to more female coaches, but that doesn't seem to be that link. it is £10,000 to get a coaching licence. we have to come up with more creative ways to get more women involved in coaching at younger ages and, most importantly, support so they can go through the coach education. i think it is about creating minimum standards so the accessibility for women to come into the game is thought about differently and then, most importantly, getting clubs to be in positions so they have minimum standards in place to hire women into the game, albeit at assistant coach or head coaching level. in doing that is a challenge. the 2026 men's world cup final will be held in newjersey for the first time, at the home

11:52 am
are still getting paid for not doing theirjob properly. what's it like being a young person in northern ireland? as mad as it looks, people watching on the news, we all do lead normal enough lives here — or at least normal for us. these young people are part of northern ireland's future, but is northern ireland part of theirs? i would love to say that i'd love to live here for the rest of my life. if northern ireland became more open and the political system became better here, i would come back. apart from its quirks, i do love living here. but, realistically, looking at the political situation, i don't really see it getting any better. it's sometimes shameful to say, "oh, i'm from northern ireland," especially as a politics student. when you talk to others — like when you go to england, if you talk to people who study politics, they go, "oh, northern ireland, we hear you're a bit of a...bit of a loose cannon." do you find, as a teenager, those kind of old sectarian divides — catholic/protestant, unionist/nationalist — i mean, does that affect your life? i'm ashamed to say i probably do think about that.
11:53 am
i think that's sort of embedded in all of us here, sort of a wee tiny bit. but it's just sort of something automatically that seems to come with living here and we just do it so naturally, unfortunately, and, you know, it shouldn't be like that. and hopefully in generations to come, it won't be like that. in the next decade, where do you see northern ireland? is it inside the united kingdom or as part of a united ireland? i don't think there will be a united ireland, and i'm not too sure if there'll be a united ireland in my lifetime. i think that there, you know, will be motions to maybe move towards one, but i think that we should remain a part of the united kingdom. 100%, i do believe there will be |a united ireland in my lifetime. | because when you look at the current situation that we've had _ for the last two years, and over the last iooi years of partition — _ partition has failed everyone. the past week has seen massive political change in northern ireland — the return of devolved government, and the first nationalist first minister in the shape of sinn fein�*s michelle o'neill. it's truly historic and, as someone who would come from —
11:54 am
who would be a republican themselves — it's truly amazing to see that we're really making progress. if you could give a message to politicians in northern ireland, what would it be? you're voted in to represent your constituents and to represent your country. do the job. the point that you're there is to solve problems, not create them. for me, it's aboutjust making sure that you're delivering for normal people and making sure that people can stay here and be able to live good lives. the message from these young people is clear, but are politicians in northern ireland listening? sara girvin, bbc news, in belfast. now it's time for a look at the weather. if hello again. for many of us, it was a mild weekend but as we go through this week, the temperature is going to drop closer to where we would expect it to be at this time of year. now, today, we've got this weather front. it's been with us for a while. the met office has a yellow weather warning out for rain across parts of northern and western scotland. it expires this evening at nine o'clock and by then we could have had as much as 170 millimetres
11:55 am
of rainfall — flood warnings in force. behind the rain we've got cold air, so the showers increasingly turning wintry. but ahead of the weather front, there's a lot of cloud around. and in the west, we're looking at some light rain and some drizzle, but mild for many, brisk winds today and cold as we push up towards the north—east. now through this evening and overnight this rain heads south, eventually getting into northern ireland and into northern england. there'll be some showers crossing the north of scotland, which will be heavy with hail and thunder. and for england and wales, it still is going to be a windy night, quite brisk winds and also fairly cloudy but mild in the north, comparatively colder. so into tomorrow, then. then the weather front continues to sink southwards. you can see from the squeeze on the isobars that it still is going to be quite windy across southern areas. and we've got the rain sitting across northern england, southern scotland and northern ireland heading into wales. as the cold air behind it digs in, we could see some wintriness on the hills here, and behind it,
11:56 am
increasingly through the day, the wintry showers will be falling at low levels across parts of scotland. but there will be a lot of bright weather here, whereas in the south, although it's milder, it is going to remain fairly cloudy. now on wednesday it looks like that weather front will clear but it will come back later in the day to the south—west. there will be a lot of dry weather around and again some wintry showers. these are the temperatures, two in lerwick to nine in london. but the milder air where we've got the cloud and the returning weather front. and it's that that's going to give us some complications in the forecast wednesday into thursday. we've got this area of low pressure pushing north, rain in the south, but it looks like we could well see some snow as well. this could change, i can't emphasise that enough, but it looks like the south will have a blustery day with the rain, but snow could well fall across parts of wales, parts of england and northern ireland eventually getting into southern scotland, but drier in the far north.
