that colder air is digging in behind a weatherfront, a cold front. you can see this line of cloud on the earlier satellite picture. delivering some rain across the south—east of england. behind that, some sunny spells but plenty of close racing and across scotland and northern ireland. a real rash of showers right now, some heavy and thundery ones. some wintry over higher ground. deals in the north of scotland. those temperatures coming down as the afternoon wears on. tonight we will keep lots of showers, still some heavy and thundery ones, some wintry ones over a high ground. despite that brisk wind, it is going to get quite cold, temperatures are barely close to freezing, so it may be that on some roads in the countryside, northern england, northern ireland and scotland, we could see some icy stretches. a cold start to tomorrow morning, low pressure in charge, moving to the north. lots of isobars are squeezing together, so it will be windy. and just about wherever you are, i think you will see some showers. there could be some heavy and thundery showers, still wintry over the mountains in the north,

particularly scotland. and it will be a widely windy day. northern and western parts seeing gusts of 40—50 mph or more. temperatures will be lower than they have been, 9—10, not unusual from this time of year full stop when you factor in the strength of the wind, this is the fuel is it like feel like it is 5—6. a very different feel to the weather tomorrow. this area of low pressure clears away, lingering close to the east coast for sunday morning. still blustery for the coast of eastern scotland and england. but then a zone of drier and brighter weather before a band of cloud and rain pushes and from the west. actually not such a chilly feel on sunday. temperatures back up into double digits for many. let me show you what happens next week. low pressure will be close by. little pressure close by, that means the weather will remain unsettled. there will be spells of rain, it will often be

quite windy. temperatures lower than they have been, but nothing unusual for this time of year. these temperatures are around or slightly above the average for the time of year. thanks, ben. and that's bbc news at one. now it's time to join our colleagues for the news where you are. hello and welcome to sportsday. wales are on the brink of qualifying for this summer's european championship — only poland stand in their way. captain fantastic, heather knight, comes to england's rescue as they beat new zealand to take a 2—0 lead in their t20 series. footballer greg halford opens up about how being identified as autistic shaped his career.

hello and welcome to the programme. after thejoy, and perhaps relief, of beating finland in their euro �*24 play—off last night, wales players and fans mightjust be slowly coming back down to earth with the realization that there is still one more hurdle in their way before they can think about booking their flights for germany. their prize after a comprehensive 4—1 win last night is a winner—takes—all play—off against poland back in cardiff on tuesday. earlier we looked ahead to that crunch match and back at last night's triumph with former wales striker iwan roberts. it was a big result, probably one of the best victories the manager has had since become an welsh team manager. we have had some historic

nights in the cardiff city stadium and last night was another one added to the list. i would quite quietly go into the game on tuesday as underdogs. i do think this is the pool on saturday have been in the past. i don't think they have been as strong as they have been in the past. this is a pull inside that regularly qualified for world cups, they have a legend in robert levandowski up front, but i think we are more than capable of beating them. we have the worst record against poland, we have only ever beaten them once and that was at the first meeting in 1973! they are one below is in the fifa rankings. because we are at home, and when the draw was made i was delighted, i would have liked to have avoided pulling for it is what it is. i was confident we would beat finland. that is all you can ask for is two

home draws. the other home nations all play friendly matches over the weekend. northern ireland, who didn't qualify for the european championship, are in romania tonight, while scotland, who did qualify, are in amsterdam to face the netherlands this evening. meanwhile, ahead of england's friendly against brazil on saturday, there is a row over changes to the colour of the st george's cross on the new england kit. nike says the shirt includes a "playful update" to the cross from its traditional red to include purple and blue horizontal strips. the us firm said the colours were inspired by the training kit worn by england's 1966 world cup winners. both the prime minister and labour leader sir keir starmer say the colours don't need to be changed. now to cricket and england captain heather knight made a half—century as her side beat new zealand by 15 runs in the second t20 in nelson overnight to take a 2—0 lead in the five match series. joe lynskey reports.

england's bands woke up this morning to another when made through the night. a heather night half—century for the second game in a row. it is put england on top in this five match series. so far, new zealand can't stop the captain scoring. they did here take seven wickets, but heather night was still there at the end. she mist the lucrative woman does not premier league to focus on england and build scores like this. the home side would need 150 to wind and new zealand scored quickly. they reached 100 — three with time and hands, but then wickets went at speed. they lost five more forjust eight runs. new zealand finished 15 short. england now go to— zero up in the series. this was another day,

another winning score. this was another day, another winning score. now a glimmer of hope for the formula 1 drivers hoping to disrupt the dominance of three time—world champion max verstappen, heading into this weekend's australian grand prix. verstappen missed the first 20 minutes of the second practice session earlier after damaging the floor of his car when he came off the track in first practice. that opened the door for ferrari's charles leclerc, who topped the timesheet at the end of the session, with verstappen unable to get going. mercedes' george russell was sixth quickest, with lewis hamilton way back in 18th. one of the worst sessions i probably had for a long time. p1 generally felt quite good. the car actually in p1, run i, felt the best it has ever felt. then it got worse and worse. i made some changes, big changes, or we made some big changes into p2. and, yeah, it was tough.

from a uk university owes more than £230,000 in student loan air, more than five at times the average. that is according to figures from the student loan company. a freedom of information request by the bbc has revealed that another student has accrued nearly £55,000 in interest alone. let's speak to chloe field, vice president for higher education at the national union of students. thank you forjoining us on the programme.. let's start with your reaction to these figures. £230,000 in air. is that typical of the experience of students or is that an outlier? i’m experience of students or is that an outlier? �* ., ., ., , experience of students or is that an outlier? �* ., , ., outlier? i'm not too sure on the actual numbers _ outlier? i'm not too sure on the actual numbers and _ outlier? i'm not too sure on the actual numbers and if _ outlier? i'm not too sure on the actual numbers and if it - outlier? i'm not too sure on the actual numbers and if it is i outlier? i'm not too sure on the l actual numbers and if it is outlier specifically, but it is not surprising to me. the amount of air is the graduate accrue over the years and with interest rising, it
