peaky blinders and downton abbey. we're standing here against some very pretty downton abbey pieces. we have matthew and we have lady mary here, for example, but we have an entire downton abbey grouping here. when we look at something like a series, like downton abbey, we look at where it was worn to try and capture the moment it was worn and who.... and there were three designers for downton, also give each designer a credit, which i think is quite nice to do. the entire collection spans more than 400 years of changing fashion trends. for hollywood costume collectors, as well as die hard fans, this is their chance to own a piece of screen history. noor nanji, bbc news. time for a look at the weather. here's louise lear.

high, we some and this was close to liverpool earlier this afternoon in southport. slightly different across scotland, one running down the north sea filtering lots of clouds. it is damp and dreary with scattered shop showers across the far south and east. that will translate into this this afternoon, the weather front clinging to the north sea, filtering and quite a lot of clouds, the best of the breaks further inland where have already seen them through the spine of the country unto the west.
1:32 pm
a pretty messy story that in comparison to the weather lately not bad for some. where we have the cloud, temperatures will struggle, perhaps around eight or nine, but further west with sunshine, highs of 11 or 12. in the clear skies by day, that will allow temperatures to fall through the night, frost and fog returning for some, certainly across parts of wales and central england we could see temperatures just below freezing, obviously with the crowd from the north sea temperatures holding up at around 405. tomorrow morning will be very messyjust like today, lots of cloud pushers in from the north sea but hopefully towards london, east anglia and lincolnshire it will break up with sunny spells coming through and a few isolated showers. with some shelter, some sunshine, a little bit of warmth, looking at 11 or 12, which fields
1:33 pm
are pleasant enough. high pressure set to stay with us but quite a brisk south—easterly wind continues to feed and yet more cloud off the north sea. also feeling a bit cooler on the exposed coasts. thursday will be sunny spells and the few isolated showers, the winter freshening be sunny spells and the few isolated showers, the winterfreshening up, just taking the edge off the feel of things, temperaturesjust just taking the edge off the feel of things, temperatures just into double figures, eight or 9 degrees the cloud lingers. staying relatively quiet even into the start of the weekend but there will be showers occasionally. thanks, louise. and that's bbc news at 0ne. 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.

0ur correspondent nesta macgregor is here. you've been looking through the report's findings, what else is in there? it makes grim reading. it found competitive amateur swimming in england had, in theirwords, developed a toxic environment with dangerous training practices being used and that the competitive atmosphere had allowed bullying to prevail and a culture of fear meant people are often scared to speak out and those who did were then often threatened or intimidated and it also pointed out performances were put above the well—being of athletes with swimmers being forced to train while being injured or are times when it is detrimental to their mental health and the review said this was at all levels of swimming and had been this way for decades
