the incident has been reported to police by southwark council.bbc news. hello there. it's been quite a wintry scene across northern parts of scotland today. we had some snow falling this morning. that is continuing to turn back to rain. quite a bit of rain actually coming in over the hills of scotland and we're drawing in these milder winds, as well. there's still quite a temperature contrast in scotland even this evening, where that colder air is still in the far north—east, but otherwise, as you can see, temperatures will be in double figures. we've got some heavy rain coming into scotland this evening. it does ease off overnight. the main rain band then sinks southwards down into england and wales. clearer skies following, but some blustery showers arriving in the north—west by the end of the night. for the most part, temperatures are going to be in double figures as we head into christmas eve morning. but christmas eve is going to be a windy day, particularly strong and gusty winds over and to the east of the pennines. high—sided vehicles cou

southwark police tweeted that a section 35 dispersal order has been put in place in the area of camberwellnow it's time for a look at today's sport. lots of football today. yes, there was. let's start in the premier league where there's been a huge result for nottingham forest who've beaten manchester united 2—1 at the city ground. morgan gibbs—white scored the winner late on to give them the win. forest now move five points clear of the relegation places to 15th. it's the first time since 1994 that forest have beaten manchester united in the league. for eric ten hag's united, it was a frustrating result — they've now lost nine times in the league this season. disappointing. you are losing 1—0 and you get a goal back and in that moment i think we were quite good in the game and you are waiting for 2—1 and we gave a goal away. it was unnecessary, this loss, but i think already we lose the game in the first half. we were not energised enough, we didn't create chances. aston villa left it late but a late douglas luiz penalty against 10—man burnley gave them a 3—2 win at villa park. it put the
