cool night tonight, persistent rain lives towards shetland, a scattering of showers, some heavy overnight. quite a breeze later, slightly lighter winds in eastern areas, where the coolest conditions will be on wednesday. sunshine and showers and blustery wind, and given the presence of that ex—hurricane, some rough seas to the west, the weights could top ten metres, over 35 feet, to the west of ireland. dangerous conditions in the west as you go through the day and the most frequent showers will be here, the same too across southernmost counties of england, some will avoid the showers altogether, blustery tomorrow and feeling fresher, temperatures down on today at around ten to 14. into wednesday evening the showers will states that the low pressure pushes to the south of what

we have at the moment, this will bring more persistent rain and stronger winds into thursday, may be a bright start to the north and each, some heavy rain pushes across most parts before turning brighter with showers later in the day. temperatures will be boosted, slightly milder feeling on thursday. mit more rain for two thursday night and into friday, a risk of minor flooding. scotland and northern ireland eventually seeing sunshine return, and at the sunshine towards the south east corner temperatures could hit 18 or 19 so it will feel substantially warmer, the first time we have seen temperatures above average for a while. remnants of another hurricane, hurricane zeta, later. keep up with the latest on

the bbc weather website and all of your forecasts will be there. orton is truly with us, simon. —— autumn. a reminder of our top story... eight million people face the highest covid restrictions — more than 50 mps write to boris johnson over the north—south divide and want to know how he plans to get them out of it. we are asking people to give up huge similarto, we are asking people to give up huge similar to, businesses to close, people to live on two thirds of their wages, i do not think it is unreasonable to say the other side of that coin should be show us the way out. we want to build back better across the north of england. that's all from the bbc news at one, so it's goodbye from me, and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are. you're watching bbc news.

i'm olly foster at the bbc sport centre. the fa has launched it's football leadership diversity code as they look to tackle racial imbalance in the game. it won't be mandatory for clubs, but a0 have already signed up. they have been set diversity targets of 15% in recruitment of new executive positions and 25% in coaching positions. i think we have come up with the code that is really fundamentally, it does what it says on the tin, it holds football to account, it makes clu b holds football to account, it makes club think, makes clubs accountable, it is good for governance. ijust feel it is a step in the right direction. it is a real solid foundation. i've seen the last 30 yea rs foundation. i've seen the last 30 years and i have seen there has been a lot of well—intentioned, positive action programmes, but none of them i think holds football to account in

the way this leadership diversity does by way of the targets and the accountability. southampton are one of the clubs that haven't signed up for it, they say that they have already achieved the premier league's own equality standard and want to see how the fa's code fits in with their current processes. lots more european football this week. manchester city are at marseille in the champions league this evening and liverpool host danish champions fc midtjylland. it's been billed as something of a david and goliath meeting, liverpool the reigning premier league champions and last years european champions against the danish side that was only formed in 1999, but using the moneyball appraoch with an emphasis on data and statistics to build their team.

there is a lot that goes on in terms of models and data that doesn't happen in other clubs. with us, it's not driven by two interns in a basement. it's driven from the very top, from the owner, from myself, so thenit top, from the owner, from myself, so then it comes to life. i think it makes a big difference. manchester city have got no out—and—out striker for their game at marseille. sergio aguero picked up an injury at the weekend and will be out for a month. gabrieljesus was already out. i think there is cause for concern. i think there is cause for concern. i think there is cause for concern. i think the fact that the industries —— injuries have come thick and fast this season, which probably could have been protected by most teams in the premier league, goes to show how big the squad has to be an manchester city have relied on sergio aguero for a long time, but he is getting into that age group

are encouraged to become more common, so are encouraged to become more common, so they will need to rebuild. if they can get squad back fit and healthy, they are more than good enough to challenge for the premier league with the champions league. with the champions league. there's been a covid outbreak at league 2 scunthorpe. their next three games have been postponed. eight players have tested positive, with a further ten having to self—isolate. they had been due to face salford at home tonight. the reamining playersd and staff will stop training for the next week as a precaution. england will be without their captain, sarah hunter, for the match against italy on sunday in the women's six nations. she has a hamstring injury. the red roses have already won the title, but will complete back—to—back grand slams if they beat the italians. emily scarratt has been given the captaincy that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. that's bbc.co.uk/sport.

goodbye. more on the us election now. in just one week, voters will decide whether donald trump remains president orjoe biden takes his place in the white house. four years ago, jon kay went on a road trip along route a5, meeting people along the way. in five days, he made his way through wisconsin, chicago, tennessee, mississippi and alabama. jon has been back in touch with some of the people he met to see how they've been feeling about life since then. milwaukee, four years ago, just after donald trump's victory. cheering. this place helped him win. ifeel you should be, like, square on top of it. and back then we met nancy here. it's time to get real. it's time to be a little risky. she told me at the time she'd voted trump to shake up politics. trump makes a decision,

he gets it done. hi, how are you? 0k. four years on, time to reconnect. i wish the american people either had more choices... she tells me she'll probably vote trump again for his policies, but she feels let down by the man himself. donald trump is somebody who potentially had the world in his hands. he's made people so disappointed in how he's conducting himself. we're just fighting over here. it's insane. what is it about donald trump that has disappointed you? i think that a leader, personality, and their conduct and respect for the people will be taken on by the people. and i think he screwed that up. if he's going to stay in the white house, donald trump must hold on to wisconsin and the other states we visited on route 45 during our road trip four years ago. so can he still drum up

the support he needs? steven and jared are now in college. first—time voters. when we met them four years ago, they were playing in their mississippi high—school band, and stephen was keen to support donald trump. i think some of his ideas are actually pretty great, and i think he actually can make america great again. after these four years of trump... i don't really support him that much. but now, stephen says trump has caused too much division on issues like race and the environment. donald trump, representing the country as a whole hasn't really been. . .you know, the best. you have someone like joe biden who's, you know, maybe not the best president, but i think he can represent america better than donald trump can. when we filmed four years ago, the band was off to washington to play at president trump's inauguration. even then, jared wasn't so sure.

i don't like him. you're about to go and play for him! i know but, like... i'm forced to play. i like washington and ijust, i don't like him. you were never a fan, i could tell that when we met. now a student in the swing state of florida, jared is also voting biden, but isn't overly enthusiastic. ithink i'mjust going to go with him. and then, watching the debate, i mean, he's pretty... ..he's pretty solid, so i'm going tojust, you know, stick with him probably. how happy are you voting for biden, jared? i say, like, uh...50%. 50%, only 50%? yeah, 50%. four years ago, we also headed to washington — washington county, alabama. we're open, ladies, we're open for business. and at the food bank we met willean. these all for me? ..handing out parcels and singing

the praises of donald trump. he's not afraid to go into poverty areas and talk to the people. i support him 100%. catching up again now, willean tells me that — like many in the bible belt — she's still devoted to trump and predicts a landslide next week. i think he's a god man and i think he's going to follow what god tells him to do. isjoe biden not a god man? no. biden is a puppet. i can't stand the man. when we visited four years ago, we found poverty and a sense of powerlessness. and many voters told us they voted for donald trump to boost the economy. i can't believe that dude won. but back then, army veteran tyrone was horrified. i will never respect him as my president — no.

he is untrustworthy. four years on, tyrone tells me he's lost friends to the pandemic, and he's angry. how important do you think covid will be as an issue in the way people vote this november? i believe it's going to be a big issue. a lot of lives could have been saved if the trump administration would have acted faster, and i think we could have saved a lot of lives. so after four years, these voters have one thing in common — they're as divided at this election as they were at the last. john kay, bbc news. who wins the election will, in part, be decided by who can persuade america's growing latino population in crucial swing states, like florida and arizona, to turn out and vote for them. since donald trump was elected in 2016 nearly four million latinos have come of voting age. many have watched as their communities were ripped apart by tough immigration laws

and devastated by the pandemic. butjoe biden has so far failed to connect with latino voters in the way democratic candidates before him have. our west coast correspondent sophie long reports from arizona. this is the level of some latinos dedication to their president. latinos love trump. aww, that's great. restaurateurs jorge and betty rivas certainly do. he is the right person to keep leading this country. we need someone tough, we need someone with the right ideas. we think that donald trump is the perfect person for another four years. but the threats to their business that followed their endorsement shows that not all latinos feel the same way. latinos have been disproportionately impacted by the pandemic that shut down this state, and while the president's macho image may have

impressed latino man, here in the heart of phoenix's latinx community, it has caused deep offence among those who lost loved ones to the virus. i think that his brazen disregard was really clear. but i think that for latino voters in particular, especially folks who know somebody that has been impacted, they felt the way that i felt — this man does not care about us. he doesn't care about us. we will be protected by the great men and women of our military and law enforcement. with the election now just days away, campaign ads fill the airwaves, but so too does misinformation that feeds people's fear. and fear is a very real thing in neighbourhoods like this one, where some will have fled countries where people die because there is no law and order, yet they become increasingly fearful of law enforcement here too. just as the past four years have deepened divisions across this vast country, they have exposed divisions

in latino communities too. i saw 902, but i haven't seen 833... around four million latinos have come of age in the last four years. they're determined to use their new political power and spend their evenings encouraging others to do the same. we all remember 2016. we remember the feeling. i remember that feeling. i literally have goosebumps thinking about that day. i wasn't able to vote, so people were, like, "well, you didn't show up to vote". i couldn't. i couldn't then. now, in 2020, they can, and if enough latinos across arizona do the same, this time their voice could really count. a fast—moving wildfire south of los angeles has forced more than 90,000 residents to leave their homes. two firefighters have suffered severe burns while trying to tackle the silverado fire near the city of irvine. a second fire has now erupted several miles to the north, burning more than 1,000 acres

and triggering evacuations. winds with gusts of up to 60mph are hampering fire fighters. mexican authorities have warned residents and tourists on the gulf coast to shelter indoors as tropical storm zeta approaches. zeta is expected to regain hurricane strength as it moves overthe southern gulf of mexico. it's currently about 85 miles out to sea and could make landfall on the yucatan peninsula in the coming hours. there have been 28 named storms in the atlantic so far this year, forcing meteorologists to turn to the greek alphabet for names for only the second time ever. the headlines on bbc news: more than 50 conservative mps representing the north of england write to the prime minister, calling for a "clear road map" out of tough restrictions. think catching coronavirus once means you can't catch it again? the latest research suggests you may need to think again. as the presidential election campaign enters its final days, the focus turns to the key swing states set to determine

who wins the race. they were childhood friends and the ultimate ‘80s girl group, but since lockdown, sarah dallin and keren woodward have formed their very own "bananarama bubble". instead of the planned tour, the pop superstars behind hits like ‘venus‘ and ‘really saying something' used the time to write their autobiography. they have taken our entertainment correspondent colin paterson back to one of their old stomping grounds. here we are. it's been a while. bananarama. oh, it's still got the squeaky floor. back at london's pineapple dance studios. all the classics were rehearsed here. ‘i heard a rumour‘, ‘love in the first degree'... did we do ‘venus‘ here? i think we may. i forgot. i've got a bad arm. # i am your venus. # i am yourfire. # yourdesire...#. this trip down memory lane

is because bananarama used lockdown to write their autobiography. you have actually been bubbling during lockdown? we've been bubbling since lockdown, yeah. how has it been for you? great! great, actually, yeah. really good. yeah, i mean, it made sense because of the book and the fact we're best mates anyway. so while everyone else was doing boxed sets and jigsaws, bananarama were writing away? yes, absolutely. # it ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it. # it ain't what you do it's the way that you do it. # and that's what gets results #. it was 1981 when bananarama first shuffled onto top of the pops. keren and sarah have been the two constants in the band ever since. writing the book has allowed them to think about their contribution to pop history. there were moments where i got quite emotional. like, i think writing the book for me brought a real sense of achievement. that maybe i wasn't as proud

of myself as i should have been. # he was really saying something...#. there were so few girl groups around at the time, that i think that's probably why we sort of stuck out as something different. yeah, we worked hard and i think we deserve our place in pop history. you don't want to go on and on about how hard it is for women, but it is harderfor women. it's harder to get respect. looking back you realise what a battle it actually was. # it's a cruel, cruel summer. # leaving me here on my own. # it's a cruel...#. the book also deals with some metoo moments, including when their own security guard stripped naked and expected to get into bed with them. i think that we've been saved in a lot of situations by the fact that there were three of us, and actually, you know, one young girl isn't overly intimidating, but three of you... three laughing at those situations,

which is what we tended to do. were there many of those situations? do you know what? yes, quite a few. # feed the world...#. i'm looking at the only two people to have sung on band aid and band aid 2. hurrah! how much does that achievement mean to you? i think the first one was quite extraordinary in that... we had absolutely no idea when we got the call. # let them know it's christmas time...#. we were quite young stepping out of the little mini metro, or whatever we were in, then seeing sting, i wasjust like, "oh, my god, what's going on?" it's incredible looking back there was only you and jody whatley from shalamar as females on the single. what was going on? when you see the group picture you realise it was just a sea of men and a couple of little girls in there.

it is quite extraordinary. i mean, there must have been other artists around at the time. alison moyet, kim wilde, i mean... where were they? # feed the world. # let them know it's christmas time...#. what was the second recording like? now who was in that? bros? cliff richard was in it. yeah. my abiding memory was thinking that cliff must think i'm incredibly rude, because he went to tell me what to sing and i said, "yes, darling, i was on the first one!" when you read a book like this you are hoping the big names get mentioned. you don't disappoint in that. paul mccartney is in there. an amazing story about andy warhol. meeting andy warhol, because he was so iconic, he was on this mtv boat and came up and was doing, literally taking polaroids of us. that's the sort of thing he was known for. but that was incredible meeting him.

# robert de niro's waiting, talking italian...#. and you do tell the robert de niro story. you did get to meet up after releasing the single? we had a pay phone in our hall in our council flat. and the phone went and my boyfriend answered it. the three of us were watching brookside in the other room. and he came and said, "bob de niro is on the phone", very excitedly, and we're obviously thinking, as if. but we all scuttled to the phone and i think siobhan sort of spoke monosyllabic. "do you want to go for a drink?" "yeah." this, that and the other. so we met up and had a drink with him. it was just really strange. what do you talk to robert de niro about? i have no recollection. no idea! # only you can set me free. # cos i'm guilty guilty as a girl can be #. and despite all bananarama's 2020 tour dates being cancelled due to covid, they insist they will be

back on the road next year. it was so easy every step of the way to think you could easily be written off and disappear, become invisible. but why should you when you love what you do? i mean, i'm proud that we're still here and still going. # come on baby, can't you see? # i stand accused of love in the first degree. new york's metropolitan museum of art is marking its 150th anniversary. as part of the celebrations, it's putting on an exhibition about the changing nature of fashion. ‘about time: fashion and duration‘ explores the idea that design can be both linear and cyclical. the bbc‘s tim allman explains. in the world of fashion, everything is new and everything stays the same. look at these dresses. some of them are more than 100 years old. some are much more recent.

this giant pendulum represents the passage of time and the evolution of design. instead of staging a masterworks show, we wanted to, in a way, i suppose have a show that is a meditation on temporality and fashion, in a way. archive: what could be smarter than this dress with diamante effect on collar and cuffs and a pleated skirt? artistically designed, it costs only £3, 17 and six. fashion is and always has been a hugely important and lucrative business. it has fascinated men and women throughout the decades. almost all the dresses here are in black to emphasise the change in silhouette, paying tribute to the famous and not so famous. part of the show is also looking at designers, well—known designers like galliano and issey miyake, but less designers who have been sort of written out of fashion history because they‘re not so well—known and they didn‘t

maintain their business. who else do you invite to a show like this than anna wintour, editor in chief at vogue? the exhibition runs until early next year, showcasing the spectacular, the unusual and the timeless. now it‘s time for a look at the weather with matt taylor. hello. the banter friend hello. the banterfriend that started to the south and west this morning finishes to the north and east. it‘ll be a story of clear skies and showers into the evening and overnight. showers most frequent over western areas, the breeze picking up, as well. the previous —— clearest conditions and brightest conditions will be in the east. quite a chilly, blustery start to wednesday. rain lingering around

chatton, sunshine and showers elsewhere. it is in southern and western counties weather showers will be most frequent, particularly in southern counties of england and wales through the middle part of the day. sunshine in between, the theorist of the showers and eastern areas, but for all of blustery day, areas, but for all of blustery day, a cool day at between ten and 13 celsius. blustery into wednesday evening. out towards the atlantic coast, there will be some rough seas, as well.
