is increasing from the west, cloud is increasing from the west, so cloud is increasing from the west, so through the course of the night, we will see the cloud bringing outbreaks of rain to the western half of the uk and further east things will set to be dry and that is where temperatures will fall on the lowest in the clear skies in the east. we already have outbreaks of rain pushing across the south into wales and later in the night for northern ireland for south—west scotla nd northern ireland for south—west scotland as well and early showers clearing away from scotland and eastern england and mostly dry through the course of the night and hear temperatures are falling into the low single figures, mild underneath the rain in the west and the wind will be a feature in the next 2a hours or so. through the day tomorrow low pressure dominates, moving its way eastwards moving from west to east, but the wind picking up west to east, but the wind picking up as well. that rain edging across most of england and wales for the afternoon, not reaching east anglia and the south—east till the middle pa rt and the south—east till the middle part of the afternoon and then for scotla nd

part of the afternoon and then for scotland and northern ireland after the morning rain there will be sunshine and showers later on in the afternoon. gusts of wind are likely to reach about 60 miles an hour through some of these exposed irish sea coast and elsewhere about 30 mph, so certainly a noticeable wind through the day on wednesday. between nine and ii through the day on wednesday. between nine and 11 degrees, so still mild for the time of year but cooler than it has been out there today. heading through wednesday into thursday we have a brief ridge of slightly higher pressure pushing m, of slightly higher pressure pushing in, so that will squeeze most of the showers away during the day on thursday and still a few for the north west of scotland, perhaps xiao state —— south—east england and may be dry before the next area of cloud moves in on thursday. that's all from the bbc news at six. so it's goodbye from me, and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are.

evening in the premier league. chelsea can go top if they beat wolves. it's the early kick off and after 36 minutes it's 0—0 at molineux although there was an appeal to var for a penalty but that was denied. later manchester city host west brom. rangers manager steven gerrard says he's finding the death of his former boss at liverpool gerard houllier, very difficult to take. houllier gave gerrard his liverpool debut in 1998, and made him captain five years later. the rangers boss spoke about him with great admiration and emotion today. he was a special man, a caring man, a loving man, more than just a manager. he did an incrediblejob for me in terms of where i was at from an age and also as a player.

gerard was at the forefront of that in terms of shaping me into a better player, into a better person, a better leader. i have an awful lot to thank the man for and i'm finding it really hard to come to terms with it right now. to rugby now and there are more developments in the dementia crisis affecting the sport with ex—clermont auvergne playerjamie cudmore adding his voice to the issue. after a number of concussions he decided to take legal action against the french club. cudmore says he's been speaking to the group of english players preparing to launch a class action against the sports governing bodies. laura scott has this report. asa as a naturally combat of player, jamie cudmore never ducked a challenge. but with that physicality camea number of challenge. but with that physicality came a number of head injuries. joining on his old landmark legal case against his former cook and, the former canada international has been lending his support to those at

the centre of the sport prospect recent dementia crisis. it is alarming now that the public understand the depth this problem goes. we need to do a hell of ledbetter as professional sportsmen, coaches, administrators. it is a contact sport, and i don't want to change anything about that but we can doa change anything about that but we can do a lot more about the treatment of concussion. england world cup hero steve thompson is a good group of players do to send a pre—legal letter of claim for negligence to rugby pots or authorities. world rugby says it ta kes authorities. world rugby says it takes player safety very seriously and practically implements injury prevention strategies. with such alarming and high—profile cases at the elite level, it is perhaps inevitable that parents, coaches, and players are focusing on the safety measures in place for youngsters and those who just played by youngsters and those who just played rugby for fun. obvious he what they're playing here is rugby for fun. obvious he what they‘re playing here is light rugby for fun. obvious he what they're playing here is light years away from what we are seeing in the professional game. but with my children, it is a concern but it is

really great the way they have started content that they gradually built in the different skills. unfortunately professional repeat players are very large, very strong, can hit very hard. be cautious as they get older. rugby has made changes to make the game safer including the head injury assessment protocol. concussion subs, and pitch side reviews of knox. but one of the world's most high—profile coaches assess markets to done. at under 12 is where we make players tackle under the hips and i think that is something that should start doing straightaway. to ensure that young players learn safe low tackle technique. we havejust got players learn safe low tackle technique. we have just got to players learn safe low tackle technique. we havejust got to keep on trying to make the game safer and safer. while those in charge of the sport book to the future and the next world cup... the grim reality that some stars of the recent past are struggling is casting a lingering shadow over rugby union. laura scott, bbc news.

time for a look at some of the other sports news stories making the headlines. danny cipriani has left gloucester with immediate effect. he said on social media that he was "sad to leave a great club, but excited for the challenges ahead." he'll be replaced for the 2021—22 season by the glasgow warriors fly—half adam hastings. sir frank williams, who built the williams team into one of the most successful in formula 1, is in a stable condition after going into hospital. the 78—year—old and his daughter claire stepped away from williams earlier this year after its sale to us investors. england's women will begin the defence of their cricket world cup title against australia in 2022. england took the crown on home soil in 2017, with victory over india. the 50—overs competition was moved back a year, due to the pandemic, with the same six venues in new zealand hosting the 31 matches. it's one of the most famous logos in the world,

but the cleveland indians baseball team has announced it will change its name, saying it is "no longer acceptable in our world". the word "indians", which has been used since 1915 will be dropped after the end of the 2021 season. seth bennett reports. in the 1990s, this became one of the most recognisable logos in north american sport. following the hollywood film major—league about the cleaving indians, the team's caps became worldwide fashion accessories. 30 years later though, clevela nd accessories. 30 years later though, cleveland will drop the indians name and now reprint. there has always been a constant push to change the name from the native american groups but they kind of took it upon themselves to go out and just, they wa nted themselves to go out and just, they wanted to check into the community, they checked with the native american groups. just to see with the thought of the name and as soon as they did that, you knew the name

was out. this is a big moment for those who have been campaigning to stop the use of indigenous mascots by sports teams. it's about time, i'm actually more excited about this change in some ways than the washington football team because i found the cleveland indians logo who was named chief wahoo to be the most egreg|ous was named chief wahoo to be the most egregious of all native mascots. i found it horrifying. cleveland present baseball team has been known as the indians for 105 years when they were named by a group of sports writers. but a change in nickname won't be universally popular. writers. but a change in nickname won't be universally popularlj think there's going to be some resista nce think there's going to be some resistance from fans, from local fans, from fans across the country just judging fans, from fans across the country justjudging by my e—mails, and this has been going on for the better pa rt has been going on for the better part of the year. for the native american community, this name change isa american community, this name change is a victory but many will feel

there are still more battles to be one. i hope this is a continuing trend for other teams such as the kansas city chiefs, chicago blackhawks, to just get kansas city chiefs, chicago blackhawks, tojust get rid of native mascots altogether. and i just don't like native mascots in any sports team at all. in any way. the cleveland fans will be able to cheer on the indians for one more season cheer on the indians for one more season in 2021 but after that, he will have a new nickname. seth bennett, bbc news. staying with the issue of race, the former arsenal ceo ivan gazidis, who's now ceo of ac milan, has been speaking about racism in italy. he's just helped produce ac milan's manifesto for equality, diversity and inclusion. it comes a year after the club and other serie a sides wrote an open letter to fans asking for racism to be tackled. gazidis has been speaking to our reporter alex howell.

there is no end to the process that we are on. the journey that football has taken over the last 20 and 30 yea rs has has taken over the last 20 and 30 years has been significant but we have a long way to go and i don't think we will reach a finishing line. football reflects issues in society, and we see some of those issues and some of those problems playing out. denying that we have issues, pushing them under the carpet, does not help. the first thing is acknowledgement and then we can take action. what is the racism in football situation like in italy? football has an issue right across the world. we see incidents all across the world, and also in italy. i think italy suffers in some ways because it's stadium developments are behind and so we see an environment which there is a lack of respect kind built—in. new stadiums provide an atmosphere in which people feel more safe and secure.

women come, children come, people of every different race, colour, background, sexual orientation feel more welcome in the stadiums, that is what we had to work towards here in italy. so i think stadium development is a very important part but there are many other things that we can do and we are beginning to do here in italy to address the problem. what are you trying to achieve at the club? we have set out achieve at the club? we have set out a vision for a new, progressive, modern, young malan team playing ultimately in the most beautiful stadium in the world. in reestablishing itself both in the domestic game but also again in the international game. —— young milan. the team is transformed, we have to get a scheme in top—flight teams, we are unbeaten in the week since march, and this team is performing very well and what is an extremely competitive
